Mr. LAING—I am afraid too many have seen you, and have cause to regret it. MANSION--H 0 USE. A fine young man, aged 19, who designated him self S'r Alfred Fitzlierbert Brown, was on Saturday brought before the LORD MAYOR under the following circumstances : William Vermaash, the owner of the Crown Inn, at Calais, said that the prisoner came to Calais on Monday week, in company with a gentleman who had travelled with him, and to whom witnes was known. The prisoner stated himself to be Chevalier Brown, Knight of Rome and Naples, and charged with am important mission from the Neapolitan Go vernment to the Emperor of Russia; and he repre sented that he happened to be without money. Witness consented to supply him with 251. upon a , draft on Mr. Rothschild, the banker, at Paris, to that amount ; and, seeing that he had no cloak to cover the orders with which his uniform was deco rated, or to keep out the cold, lent him a new cloak, which he promised to return to the hands of the steward of the vessel in which he was about to em bark for England. Witness was much surprised at being told by the steward that the Chevalierrefused to give back the cloak, and he was soon after mole disagreeably surprised at finding that the draft was dishonoured. He forthwith made bold to open the trunk of the Chevalier, who had told him that it contained much valuable property, and in it he found an epaulette, a small sword, and several pieces of board, which had evidently been put in to give the contents the appearance of solidity. The next step was to set out for Eng land ; and, as he had found in the trunk certain do cuments which referred him to the Mansion-house, he immediately waited upon the Lord Mayor, and informed him of the transaction. The Chevalier happened to be in the justice-room at the time, and suddenly disappeared; but witness was prompt in his search, and soon had the young gentl e man ap- THE AMERICAN NAVY.

The name of the contractor is Thomas Rode rigues, who has promised to supply his Britannic Majesty's ships with beef four days in the we e k. I take the opp or t un i ty to enclose your Excellency a copy of a memorandum forwarded to me yesterday from an officer signing himself John Pigold, Chief de Etat-Major. To prevent any future mistakes I must take leave to apprise your Excellency that, as his Britannic Majcsty's vessels of war in the Douro are to con tinne" in the river for the protection of British per sons and property, it becomes a matter of necessity that the vessels in question be, from time to time, supplied from his Britannic Majesty's ships or ransports without the bar. itius Supr "Why, I never saw iiies are re• 11 since the e purc" se . in Brazil 518 ; the sold lower, wt India or Pl a ntatio n demand' A clerk from Mr. Bettesworth's, a brewer in or near Tottenham-court-road, said that the prisoner, who represented his name as A.ylett, had ordered 41. worth of goods to be sent to his house, in New street, Bishopsgate. They were sent, but payment had never been obtained. A soap-boiler, residing at Battersea, said the prisoner had favoured his neighbourhood with a visit of three weeks. The tradesmen were duped in all directions, and they at length broke open the prisoner's house, but they did not succeed in reco vering much. _ _ If this has taken place in the direction of your vessels, it was because the rebels made their sortie from that position,as also theirsubsequent opertrionse I abstain from analyzing the assertion which yore make that the troops under my command appeared without necessity to form in extended line, and that, seeking shelter, they apparently levelled their mus kets against the Echo steamer. Appearances often leceiee, as has happened in this case ; and only a f2w days ago the artillerymen in the battery of Sam nitio permitted an English steam-boat (Lord qf the Isles), with reinforcements of men on board for the rebels, to enter the Douro, supposing it, from ap peaiances to be the Echo; but it is the duty of the commanding officers alone to determine whether their men ought to form in close or extended lines, which of course must depend upun the nature and quality if the ground, and mode of attack. If y:.ti deem it fortunate that you did not know on Ono occasion of musketry being apparently levelled at the Echo, because you would then have ordered ► broadside from the corvette and brig which com pose the squadron in the Douro, I have not consi dered it less fortunate having spared you that pre cipitate step, which the batteries under my command would certainly not have resented, in order to afford proof that 1, obedient to my Government, did not wish to give offence to the vessels of his Britannic Majesty ; and that the Government did not desire to sacrifice to your delusion the existing relations with the British Government, nor the welfare atrtl fortunes of Englishmen in this country. The attack by the line-of-battle ships, which you say would immediately take place in the Tagus, would certainly be a stain upon the Britisla. Government in the face of Europe and the civilized world ; and, if that at tack had for object to offend any of the rights of the Portuguese nation, I can assure you it would pro duce no effect, because a people, ready to sacrifice their lives in defence of their laws and of their So vereign, do not hesitate to destroy by their own hands, if necessary, the property and fortunes which hey possess. The Portuguese have given many such examples, and even recently, in the war of the Peninsular inde pendence, the British army, being then their ally, witnessed the patriotism by which the inhabitants from the Coa to the Tagus sacrificed to the salvation of their country their dearest interests, abandoning and destroying all they possessed, as in like manlier a great number of the officers under my cominar d at present assist in the destruction of their own pro perty in Oporto by the bombardment of that city. By this opportunity, and with reference to your letter of the 10th inst., I have the honour to inform you that when my Government, through the most delicate consideration, made an exception to the law of siege, consenting that you might communicate with the packets and vessels of war off the bar, it (lid not prefix the number of times that the steamer Echo, or the boats with the signals agreed upon, should pass and re-pass it, leaving this dependant upon the necessity you had to employ them, confi dent that you would not abuse that privilege for any other purpose than the communication with the squadron, mposing only the condition that you would not employ both means simultaneously; it appears to me, therefore, that this subject does not already offer the least motive for discussion. 3,,ve. d .. 0 . st. e 1° sequenee . inelinsil o demand fr. r e , IV k. iv were re' ; 43. sd. i heavy, r° WO RK BY THE AUTHOR OF "MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS." rbs i tp. r t reav, in 3 vols. post Bvo., price 289. 6(1., I ,E SKETCH-BOOK of FASHION. 45 , ) , the Author of " Mothers and Daughters." Richard Bentley, New Burlington -street. (Successor to Henry Coltturn.) LAING then read the following list of houses and asked the prisoner if he had ever resided at them :—No. 3, Gifford-street, Bond-street Can non-place, Westminster; Kennington-lane; Cam berwell-grove ; 5, Stockwell-green ; 10, South Lambeth-place ; 12, Dover-road ; 24, Smith-street, Sr. Pancras; North -street, Theobalti's-row; La vender-hill ; 52, Fenchurch-street ;9, Mont pelier place, Stockwell ; 10, New -street, Bishopsgate ; I, Afilman's-row ; 12, Hercules-buildings; and Lark hall-lane. To effect this object it may be sometimes neces sary, particularly with so uncertain a bar, to use every means in my power to promote the utmost despatch in the transport of those supplies. I therefore must impress upon the mind of your Ex cellency, that the means afforded to me to effect the above object, or any other of his Britannic Ma. jesty's service, must be in no way limited. Any impediment offered on your Excellency's part, or ou the part of any of your Excellency's officers, wil! only tend to disturb the reciprocal relations which now exist between his Britannic Majesty's Govern ment, and the Government of Portugal ; and I am sure your Excellency agree with me in opinion, that at the present crisis any unguarded step to af• fect the neutral position now existing between the two nations, would by no means tend to ameliorate the condition of the Government of Portugal. I have now to assure your Excellency, and I do so advisedly, that British forbearance has been car lied to its utmost limits. I am the more induced to make this observation, from the perusal of the minutes of the Courtmartial which your Excel lency had the goodness to transmit to me. Not one iota of truth appears in evidence relative to the statements made respecting his Britannic Majesty's ships under my command having fired artillery in the first instance, and musketry some hours subse quently. No artillery had been fired on the occa sion alluded to but a blank gun to enforce the signal for a pilot, and that which at stated periods— namely, sunset, sunrise, and at eight at night—had been fired ; a practice which will be continued, ac cording to the custom of his Britannic Majesty's service, during the stay of the British men-of-war in the Douro. ;1311, an a the o f id. °- , The P lr. r 5d., g°od John Adams Cyanc Concord Boston IS Vandalia IS St. Louis lB Falmouth Warren Peacock Lexington Erie IS Natchez Fairfield Ontario Vincennes SLOOPS OF WAR.

Witness called on the prisoner, when he understood he was living in Milman's-row. He saw another indivi dual, who, on hearing of his demand, said, " I'il settle your affair in a trice." He then pretended to send out a young man, who acted as servant, to get change for a 101. note. The young man returned with the answer that he could not get change; upon which witness said, " I'll get it you in a mo ment." The other, however, immediately rejoined, " Why, no; now I recollect, I have a heavy pay ment to make to-morrow, and you really must ex cuse me." Witness told him they w, re a set of swindlers, and he should expose them, which he did. Mr. Taylor stated that a box had been found at the prisoner's lodgings, which, on being opened, was found to contain an immense number of bills, receipts, and invoices. They were tied toge , her alphabetically, and this course had no doubt been pursued by the prisoner and his associates, that they might occasionally refer to them, in order that they might not go to any place a second time. From the multiplicity of transactions in which they had been engaged, they could not but let the names of many of their dupes escape from their memory, and they therefore kept the invoices, &c., referred to. It would scarcely be credited that these bills were for property amounting to upwards of 20,0001. Prisoner—They are bills of 16 years' standing. Mr. Taylor—All honest bona fide transactions, of course ? Prisoner—l have been as honest as people were to me. But some of those papers do not belong to me; some belong to Mr. Wood, of Manchester, with whom I had transactions. Mr. LAING--What transactions ? Prisoner—lt is so long ago now that I cannot recollect. Mr. LAING—What is Wood ? A builder. Mr. LAlNG—Where does he live in Manchester? That is a large place. Prisoner—lt is, indeed; he kept the Brown Bull there. Mr. Maize, an attorney, here said that he had let two houses to a person called Mrs. Wilks, to whom the prisoner said he was executor. The prisoner had acted as agent, and he told witness that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. The two houses were now shut up, and witness, who acted on behalf of a lady living in Red Lion-square, could not get possession of them. The prisoner had rented a house belonging to Sir W. Rawlins, and a few days before the ront became due he departed. The prisoner turned to Mr. Maize, and said, " Indeed 1 Well, if I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, you have managed to deprive me of a large part of the silver. You're a Marshalsea at torney, and you might have held your tongue." Mr. Maize afterwards stated, that the two houses which were shut up in the name of Mrs. Wilke, were filled with valuable furniture. It was not a long time since two pianos, value each 100 guineas, had been sent in. This fact, he said, was not gene rally known ; at all events he should think the tradesmen from whom the property was obtained did not know it. present, $ Ol o n to not ice ' First Dsf Except tb e which "; c d u t last soe ,,ersge a n a isle.

The Chevalier told him, in an off-hand style, that he had a check on Rothschilds' for 1401., and declared that he had sent over the amount of the (haft by post, on finding that it had been dishonoured. When witness expostulated with him, the Chevalier produced a dagger, but witness was not to be fright ened by it, and prevented him from escaping. The prisoner said he was intrusted with a certain embassy from the King of Naples, and was going to Russia. He refused, however, to show any of his despatches. The gentleman who introduced the prisoner to the complainant, met the Chevalier on his travels, and recommended him under the firmest impression that his representation as to rank, respectability, and occupation, was correct. The prisoner had told him that he was charged with despatches either from the Neapolitan or Sardinian Government to the Russian ; that he had been presented at the Court of France by Lafayette ; that he had been presented at the Courts of Naples, Rome, and other Courts; and that be was distinguished by Nea politan orders, and by the American Order of Cin einnatus.—(Laughter.) Mr. Hobler stated that the prisoner had expe rienced great kindness from Alderman Lucas's fa mily, and that the Alderman had placed him on board a man-of-war, from which he, no doubt, was a runaway. Total number of ships 51 Gun5...1978 The ships on the stocks, with the exception of the Pennsylvania and Savannah, could all be got ready for launching in 90 days, and some of them in 60. The Savannah would require 120 days, and the Pennsylvania six months. The ships in ordinary are in various states of preservation, but most of them would require extensive repairs before being ready for sea. 1,100 11146, ction 295' In addition to the force embraced in the preceding list, the frames and promiscuous live oak timber for four ships of the line, seven frigates, four sloops of war, and three seam-vessels, are on hand, viz.—at Boston, two ships of the line, two frigates, and one sloop of war; at New York, one frigate; at Phila delphia, two frigates and one sloop of war; at Nor folk, two ships of the line, one frigate, and one sloop of war; at Washington, one frigate and one sloop of war. Where the frames of the steam-vessels are in deposit we do not find it stated. Contracts have further been made for the frames, &c., of three fri gates and three sloops of war. If we include in the estimate of our naval force, the ships for which the timber is already furnished or contracted for, the account will stand thus— ST S coo le 22i' elusive In conclusion I have only to assure you, that shall studiously endeavour to comply with your Excellency's wishes, so long as they do no; impede the promotion of those duties which his Britannic. Majesty's Government have called upon me to dis charge in this river. And I therefore repeat, that all means of communication with his Britannic Ma jesty's ships and vessels of war, without the bar, must be left open to my direction. I may require the Echo, or one or two boats, to pass and repass the bar of the Douro on the same day. I have frequently assured your Excellency of my determination to preserve strict and honourable neu trality, and from your Excellency's courteous cor respondence with me I feel satisfied that your Ex cellency will still repose in me that confidence which your Excellency has more than once been pleased to express. A drawing agreeably to that desired by the officer commanding the battery at Sampaio has been left at that fort.—l have the honour, &c. (Signed) W. N.

Excellent Sir,—As you may naturally suppose, from the position in which his Britannic Majesty's squadron was placed on the morning of the 17th, his Majesty's ships were exposed to a fire of no in considerable degree. From the careless manner in which the troops of your Excellency had directed their musketry con siderable damage has been done to his Britannic Majesty's ships ; and I regret to state that, from the incautious fire of your Excellency's troops, a seaman of his Majesty's ship Orestes has received, as it is feared, a mortal wound. .to 11 1 . ftt: to 1 1 ; of. to 0.• 51 to 131 ~ 5 to 15 , to 9 1 N.

On the 19th inst., at the infirmary in Stam ford, an operation was performed which, from the prodi gious size of the tumour removed, is a subject of much interest and curiosity. The patient was a poor man from llarringwortb, in Northamptonshire, named THOMAS JOHNSON : the tumour had been increasing for five years, and had at length attained the extraordinary weight of 11 pounds and a half. It grew from the peroneum and glu tei muscles, extending backwards, and was twenty inches in circumference at the neck, and thirty in its widest pro portions. The operation lasted for upwards of an hour, and took place in the presence of all the surgeons of the institution.

HATT ON- G ARDEIV. On Saturday this office was thronged with mer chants and tradesmen of all descriptions, in conse quence of it having been intimated that William Wadsworth would be again examined on various charges of swindling. When Wadsworth• was brought into the office the numerous tradesmen could not restrain their indignation, and they vented it in a volley of epithets. Mr. Benim, an ironmonger in Blackfriars-road, said that in July last the prisoner called on him and ordered a tea-urn, a shower-bath, and some other articles, to be sent to Cumberland-grove, with a bill and receipt. Witness's porter took the goods as directed, and a young man, dressed as a porter, asked him to walk in and wait for Mr. Aylett, the name which the prisoner had given. Witness's porter had then a quantity of ale given to him, and after remainieg some time, the pretended footman said that his master would not be in till the follow ing day, and therefore he (the porter) had better be off. The next day witness's eon went to the house to fix some stoves, which Aylett had likewise or dered, and his suspicions were awakened on finding that a quantity of property had been removed from the house. Witness then went to the house, and succeeded in getting back the shower-bath. H e had ascertained that the tea-urn had been pledged at the house of Messrs. Barber and Jupp, pawn brokers, in the Borough. Mr. Murphy, of the firm of Thomas and George Murphy, coal-merchants, St. Pancras, said that the prisoner ordered two tons of coals to be sent to Mr. Aylett's house, in Milman•street, Bedford row. Witness intimated that it was their custom always to send a bill and receipt to their customers, and the prisoner replied, " Oh, certainly, the money shall be paid on delivery." When the coals had been shot the coalman delivered in the bill and receipt, and he was then told that " master we out," but that, when he came home from the city A poor Irishwoman, who keeps a chandler's-shop, said that when Wadsworth lived in New-street, Bishopsgate-street, Mrs. Wadsworth and her son called her to their door, and bought 16d. worth of greens from her, and then they shut the door against her, because she had not change for a 201. cheek.--. (Great laughter.) " Well, your Worship," conti ed the witness, " says I, this is strange behaviour, and so I made bold to call again and ask for my money; and when I knocked at the door I was politely asked into the passage, but one of the blessed swindlers soon makes his appearance, and says he to me, You're come for your money ?' Says I, I am, Sir, with your leave;' and says he, Then curse me if I don't burke you,' and -he had no sooner said it than he took me.by the.shouldertc, and kicked me in the back, while the youngcst,,son of Mrs. Wadsworth grinned at me like a devil, and said he would bring a pistol and shoot me; and so, your Worship, this is how I have be t in served." - Mr. Taylor then stated to Mr. Laing that one half of the prisoner's swindling transaction's had not been disclosed. In consequence of its being Satur day, the busiest day in trade, he might say upwards of 80 tradesmen had been unable to attend. Mr. LAING said there was quite sufficient evi dence to, warrant him in remanding the prisoner,* wtrich'he did to Monday, February 4. BRANDY. AND WATER.--. 4 ` r .YOR remember Mr. , Sir ?" •" very' well." " Were you aware of his fondness for &randy'and water ?" No." "It was a sad habit; but it grew out of his love of story-telling ; and that;ralso, is a bad habit, a very bad habit, for a minister* of ,the Gospel. As he grew old, his animal spirits flaggedtind his stories becam e d e f e ctive in vivacity; he, therefitre,-took to brandy and water; weak enough, it is true, at first, but soon nearly half-and-half. Ere long he indulged the habit in a morning; and when he came to Cambridge he would call upon me, and, before he lia , l been with me five minutes, ask for a little brandy and water, which was, ef course, to give him artificial spirits, to render him agreeable in his visits to others. I felt great difficulty, for he, you know, Sir, was much older than I was; yet being persuaded that the ruin of his character, if not of his peace, was inevitable, unless something was done, I resolved upon one strong effort for his rescue. So the next time he called, and, as usual, said, Friend Hall, I will thank you for a glass of brandy and water ;" I replied, ' Call things by their right names, and you shall have as much as you please.' Why, do I not employ the right name? 1 ask for a glass of brandy and water !' This is the current, but not the appropriate name ; ask for a glass of liquid firs and distilled damnation, and you shall have a gallon.' Poor man ! he turned pale, and, for a moment, seemed strug gling with anger. But, knowing that I did not mean to insult him, he stretched out his hand, and said, Brother Hail, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.' From that time he ceased to take brandy and water."....—Dr. Gregory's Memoir of Robert Hall. The estimated expenses of the navy during the year 1833 at e 3,176,766 dollars 87 cents.

A LINCOLNSHIRE PATRIARCH.—AC Co ningsby, on the-14th instant, died Mr. JAMES WARD, of Tattershall, aged 101 years. He Was a native of Wad dington, near Lincoln; he lived 53 years with Mr. Twos. DlexiNsorf, sen., as shepherd and farming man, in which situation he was greatty respected by the whole family. His harmless disrogition, ConThined with honesty, ittclustry, and sobriety, gained hiotilhe respect of both rich and poor. For 40 years his five was never out, and the use of a tinder box his ramify never knew. 'I he house he resided in was called the Pirk-hous-, situated in a lonely part of Tatters hall-park. . In the year 1816 it was forcibly 'entered and plundered by two villains with their faces blacked, name ROBERT FRANCIS and JAMES TAYLOR. From his evi dence at the age of 81 years, given at Lincoln Assizes, they were transported for seven years each. The following curious occurrence took place a few days ago in the Forest of Fontainbleau. An old charger that had been used a long time at a retired post of gensdarmes, stationed in the forest, becoming almost wore out in the service, was tethered in a fertile spot, with the hope that ease an d t h e f res h ness o f t h e grass m i ght i n some degree rest ore hi s ex h auste d strengt h . A th i ef, pursued by the p o li ce, falling in with the old campaigner, mounted his back, and hoped by this means to effect his escape. All the exertions, however, the fugitive could make were not sufficient to induce the animal to take the desired road. who galloped away through the forest till he arrived at his old quarters, and deposited his burden in the hands of his masters, the gensdarmes, who delivered him over to jus tice,--French Paper. I cannot pay so poor a compliment to your• Excel lency, as Commander-in-Chief of an army of opera tions, as to anticipate so poor a plea in excuse as that of uncontrollable troops, because such a plea would at once amount to a libel upon your own au thority; nor do I altogether complain of the conduct of your soldiers during the heat of action, but I must complain of that unmeaning and unmilitiry practice of keeping up a fire for hours after the retreating party had crossed the river. The fire of which I complain was opened in the direction of his Britannic Majesty's ships by your Excellency's troops long after any necesaity had presented itself, and they were even seen scattered behind trees and rocks ap parently taking deliberate aim at the Echo steamer. Fortunately the commander of that vessel did not communicate to me the circumstance at that time, or a broadside of the whole of the British squadron would have been the consequent result; and had but the British once commenced hostilities in the Douro, the example would have been followed by the line of-battle ships at Lisbon. I caution your Excellency in time, and must again reiterate what I have already stated in a former communication—" British for bearance has been carried to its utmost limits." In conclusion, I have only to regret that the con duct of your Excellency's troops on the morning, and more particularly in the afternoon, of the 17th, should now compel me to adopt a tone so contrary to that which I have hitherto observed in all com munications with your Excellency. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed)', W. N. GLASCOCK, Commanding Senior Officer of his Britannic Majesty's 'Ships in the Douro. Viscount Santa Martha.

It was with surprise that I received your letter dated yesterday; and expressing thus my regret, I see myself obliged to declare that I find even extra ordinary the manner by wh;:-.h mention is made of a sailor of the Orestes corvette being severely wounded in consequence of the want of care in the firing by the troops under my command, whet! they were in the heat of an engagement with the enemy, whom they charged and dislodged from their posi tion, pursuing them to their boats, and firing upon them during their passage to the right bank. Re gretting, however, this unfortunate circumstance of the sailor, as well as the damage which you state that your vessels sustained, I cannot omit observing what are the unavoidable consequences, on such occasions, to which the British Govern ment has. subjected your squadron when at anchor in the Douro, as your instructions will be always im- . • DEATH BY AN ELEPHANT.'--MADLLE• D'Jecx.—On the 26th the two elephahlTeTtely seen at the Cirque Olympique, were exhibited at Pacaudiere, in the department of the Loire, in France. Two Englishmen acted as leaders to those animals, and at night they marched them off to La Palisse, a small town within four leagues of that village. The owner having observed in the eyes of one of those elephants, named d'Jeck, that it harboured some ill-humour against one of the leaders who had ill treated it some days before, warned him of his fears, and recommended him not to accompany the caravan. This the leader did not attend to, but on the contrary, affected to be more severe than usual towards the beast. They had, however, scarcely travelled a league when the elephant, stung by its conductor, who wished to force him on, turned round, seized the man with bis trunk, and lifting him off his horse, flung him several feet above his head. The unfortunate leader, having had his leg broken by the fall, was unable to escape, and the elephant laying hold of him a second time, threw him into a ditch, and trampled him under his feet. The infuriated animal then ran to wards a carman, who was journeying along the road, seized him and pitched him into a field. The, poor ratan fortu nately came off-with a few slight, b r u is but Ni bis horses took fright, and bare prob ably Ocl to the confu sion had not the car upset ip a • along the road, where they were compelled to sto All:those misfor tunes would have been but the pr eof others, bad not the horses of the Paris, mail-coach, which was passing by at the moment, stopped in good time, and the other leader, at the risk of his life, succeeded in calming and securing the elephant. The unfortunate Englishman was conveyed to St. Martin d'Etreaux, where he expired in a few minutes. ANECDOTE OE THE LATE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE -When the Princess CHARLOTTE. Was very young, the lady who was her governess, instead of cor recting her for any fault, used to say to her, " Why Princess, what have you been doing; you must surely have behaved very ill to-day, for I p-Tceive your nose is very much enlarged—you are absolutely a fright." At which the child would cry, and most times confess her fault; and, on promise of amendment, w,s persuaded that her nose would resume its natural size. One evening the King (GEo.
