SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Paris Papers of Tuesday contain no details respecting the progress of French arms or French policy in the north of Africa, beyond the informa tion contained in General Bourmont's despatch of the Sth instant, which we published yesterday. That despatch itself, with all its candour and all its sim plicity, supplies abundant materials for political re flection. Without making the slightest allusions to the nature of the instructions which he had received from his Government, or the outline of the plan which be is employed to execute, the gallant Gene ral describes acts and proceedings on his part which sufficiently indicate the light in', which he views his recent triumph. Every part of his conduct shows that he treats Algiers us a conqueredcountry, of which France may hold permanent possession. He refuses to enter into any terms with the Dey, either as an independent ruler or the delegate of the Porte,---he deposes his Highness, if he was a Sove reign, ---and deposes his master, if he was a depen dent. His lute Highness is not only stripped of his power, but even banished from his country. It is made to appear in the despatch, that the Dey asked leave to proceed to Leghorn ; but though he had the choice of his Place in Europe, he had no power to remain at Algiers. This is evident from that part of the General's communication which refers to the Turkish troops. Even they, along with their corn mender, are to be conveyed from their country, not as prisoners of war, to remain in depot till a peace is concluded, but as exiles, never to return. Every vestige of Turkish authority is thus removed ; the Dey and the Sultan (in Napcleon language) "have ceased to reign ;" and us every other competitor for sovereign sway has disappeared for the last three centuries, the French change places with the Turks, and are left in the enjoyment of all the rights of conquest. The Bey of Titery, one of the subor dinate chiefs of the Regency, had owned submission to the Dey of Algiers. Ile finds it impossible to Continue a struggle in which his master had suc cumbed; he oilers, therefore, to submit; his sub mission is accepted, and his delegated authority continued, on " condition of paying to the French the same tribute as to the Dey." The same terms are held out to the other 13eys of the Regency, 'and a similar acknowledgment of vassalage is expected. It would be superfluous to dwell any longer on those minute circumstances which indicate in General Bourmont an intention of keepi ng permanent pos session of his new conquest. They are to be found in his whole conduct, but particularly in the ap pointment of what the gallant General calls " a commission to point the modifications which late events render necessary in the administra tion and form of the Government." If the conqueror only contemplated the military occu cupation of the city and the Regency till French ho nour was satisfied, French indemnities secured, and guarantees obtained against future piracies, what had he to do with " the form of the Turkish Government ?" The views and wishes, therefore, of the new Marshal of France, point evidently to wards a permanent occupation of Algiers as a do minion acquired by the right of conquest, without any reference to the interests or consent of othe r' nations. But the policy of the French General is not necessarily the policy of the French Cabinet. Without any further allusion to our own notions on this important question, we may safely say, that it cannot thus be settled by a military coup-de-main, "—that the sovereignty of 2,000,000 of souls, so situated with regard to Europe, cannot be settled by an order of the day issued from the head-quarters of a victorious army, after a campaign of only 21 days; and that the dominion of the fley and the Sultan, however barbarous, cannot be transferred to the French without some further .justification of the Change than that which comes from the mouth of their cannon. General tiourrnont had only held possession of Algiers for three days when he wrote his despatch lust published : he might not be in possession of the views of his Government, nor might be, as a soldier, be aware of the negoti ations Which roust precede the settlement of so important a conquest. The Court of the Tuileries is too reasonable to adopt the hasty views of its ardent and victorious commander; and whatever may be the arrangements ultimately formed for the extinction of Algerine piracy, the abolition of Christian slivery, and the civilization of the Barbaresque States, they will be adopted with the consent of the Allies of Ranee, they will have some regard to existing rights, and will not be the mere expression of the will of the strongest. We need scarcely add, in order to guard ourselves from misconstruction, that we are decided friends to the civilization and improvement of Northern Africa, though we think it right to express our opinion that our neighbours should not take the whole work into their own hands. The settlement of so important a question as the fate of Algiers involves must be the result of European negociation. The congratulatory addresses presented to Charles X. on the recent sac eess of his arms, have called forth answers in which the glory of France is mixed up with the interests of other nations. 1-lis Majesty expresses a hope that all those nations will sympathise with him in his satisfaction at the great victory which has crowned his reign. Actuated by the feelings of men and the faith of Christians, his Allies may express their gratitude to his Majesty for sending out an expedition which has avenged humanity and abo liiihed Christian slavery ; but they will expect to be consulted on the best mode of permanently securing the benefits thus acquired, without exciting jealousy, without committing any partial wrong, and without dangerously altering the balance of European power. At the meeting of the Society for the Propagation pf Christian Knowledge, for the purpose of voting an address to his Majesty, we understand a rather curb-ma scene occurred. After the address had been moved and seconded, a Clergyman rose and stated that he cordially subscribed to the sentiments it contained ; but he thought something might be added. He therefore moved an amendment, stating, in addition, that the Society considered the keeping the Sabbath-day holy as of the utmost importance to the interests of the Christian religion; that they regretted that his Majesty had been so ill-advised as to give a public dinner on the Sabbath, which they viewed es a desecration of that day; and hoped that his Majesty would not, in future, sanction by his example so reprehensible a practice. This motion created great embarrassment. The Archbishop of Canterbury moved the previous q u e st i on , and the amendment was got rid of by a great majority. We should like to know if the Bishop of London took way part in this question IL-Morning Chronicle. Our Parisian correspondent alludes to the con. quest of Algiers as a question which will very much embarrass the French Government in its domestic relations. The difficulty is the expence. The King has the right of making war and peace, Ink the Chambers have the light of refusing sup plies; and the Liberals say that they will impeach Ministers for having embarked in this expensive war without a vote of credit. Another subject of a very embarrassing nature is the mode of disposing of the conquest. Even in the densely peopled regions of India our conquests never pay the ex pence of administering them for many years. If this is the ease with the peaceable population of , 1 1 ” 1 : 1 1, 1 ) 0 _6_tu , _ , T u i tit w o h n et o must the ease be with the fere. Lu over P t a en ' :I cons : the French conquest ?

Among the Parliamentary Papers distributed yes- terday was an abstract of the latest Returns from each of the Slave Colonies, including the Mauritius and the Cape of Good Elope, of the Slave Popula tion, distinguishing the sexes. Our West Indian and American Colonies exhibited a total of male and female slaves nearly equal to each other, the males being 345,662, and the females 345,424. This list is dated Colonial Registry Office, July 8, 1830, and subscribed Thomas Amyot, Registrar. Mr. Amyot, we perceive, has drawn up this short list in a most slovenly manner, for he has given to Barbadoes and Demerara exactly the same figures. The males in both are 37,141, the females 32,326; the total 69,467. The truth is, that he has given to Burbadoes the figures of Demerara. In Bar badoes the females will, we have no doubt, be found to exceed the males in number. We notice this now, because we have seldom looked into a Parlia. meniary Paper which we have not found drawn up in a slovenly manner. The other colonies afford, on the face of the Returns, evidence of a traffic in slaves. In Mauritius the males are 47,657, and the females 29,117. An immense number of slaves must have been smuggled into this colony, to ac count for this disproportion in the sexes. In the Cape of Good Hope, too, the males are 21,210, and the females 14,299. There must have been scan dalous doings in both these colonies.-11forning Chronicle. The legislation of lawyers is not always success- ful. Of this truth the Parliamentary labours of the present Attorney-General furnish melancholy and ludicrous proof. Of nil that class of legislators, whose genius has " expanded" within the atmos phere of Westminster Hall, he is the ono who has lost most of the bloom of his reputation by being transplanted into Parliament. The public recollect his abortive efforts at legislating on the poor-law system some time ago. His Bill upon that subject provoked more sarcastic notice than such a dry ques tion usually supplies to enliven the deliberations of a grave assembly. Even his Bill to repeal that in famous Act, which inflicted banishment fora second offence, for a political libel, though intended as a liberal and gracious measure, was mixed up with such objectionable 'clatter as to excite the severe animadversion of the Press, and the serious opposi tion of all liberal Members of Parliament. Such an innovation was made upon the Bill, by a success ful amendment of Lord Morpeth, that it required all the power that Government wields in the House of Commons to repair the defeat which the Attorney- General had sustained, and to restore his Bill to its original and inglorious identity. But the " Ad ministration of Justice" Bill seems to be the crown ing work of his infelicitous essays at legislation. That Bill , it is true, passed the House of Commons, not withstanding the hard knocks which it received, and the gantelope of ridicule which it had to run by the • way; yet in what state did it come to the other House ? Here is the description which Lord Dur ham gave of it on Monday night. He said " that this Bill had come to their Lordships' House in so very imperfect a state, that the Lord Chief Justice of Englund had felt it his duty to pay particular at tention to the enactments, and had scarcely allowed a line of it to stand without some alteration." We cannot conceive a mote severe condemnation of the Attorney-General than is conveyed by this amicable interposition of the Lord Chief Justice to save the Legislature from the reproach of passing such a law. The Attorney-General has distinguished himself by opening a heavy fire of ex-officio informations upon the Press for publishing what he alleged had a ten dency to bring the Ministers and the Legislature into contempt ; but has he not himself, by bringing in a Bill so faulty as to require the relentless prun ing-knife of the Lord Chief Justice, done all in his power to bring the Legislature into contempt ? Lord Durham further said, " It would be desirable the Bill should'be once more examined by their Lordships, for no person could be supposed to be competent to give any thing like a satis factory opinion of this Bill and its enact ments within the time now limited for passing the Bill, unless he were a lawyer by profession." Thus so much time had been occupied in correcting the errors of the Bill, that little or no time was left for the consideration of its principle and provisions by the House of Lords before the close of the Session. We need not wonder at the instances of clumsy and ridiculous legislation which are to be found in the Statute-hook, when in this, the 30th year of what is emphatically called the " age of intellect," the Attorney-General of England—the Leader of the King's Bench—a lawyer grown grey in the practice of the laws—a stern and inexorable censor of the Press—frames a law that, when it goes to the Upper House of the Legislature, makes it necessary for the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench to revise and correct it with such merciless criticism us " scarcely to allow a line of it to remain without alteration." If, after this, the Attorney-General pursues his legislative labours any further, be must indeed have an inordinate appetite for a very un enviable sort of distinction.—Morning Herald. Up to the present moment we do not learn that, in any one of the places where popular election pre vails, a single candidate has started avowedly Minis terial. In Middlesex the most strenuous efforts have been used, but hitherto without avail, to find an opponent to Mr. Hume. In the City of Westmin ster no Sir Cecil Wray, Lord Hood, or Lord Gard ner, is to be found to enter the lists even against the weakest of all the weak ; and in the city of London, where two of the Members tire avowedly hostile to the Government, and the other two are far from being to be depended upon as " thick and thin" adherents, not a note of preparation is heard announcing that the Administration means to try its strength in a contest. We are far from meaning to upbraid the Duke of Wellington with not using the influence of the Government to obtain returns; on the contrary, such an abstinence, if rigidly adhered to, will be highly honourable to his Grace; but what we state as extraordinary, and ominous to our motile of the very slight hold which the (ioverrn must be conscious that it has on the free and unbiassed voice of the people, is, that where that voice can be fairly ascertained, no one ventures to ask it on the score of his attachment to, and determination to support, the measures of the present Cabinet. Why, at the end of fifteen years of peace, such should be the state of things, is a question, we should think, that wise Statesmen will naturally ask themselves—and ask themselves, too, the more naturally, when they come to contrast, as they must do, their own unpopularity with the contrary feeling which is every day and hour in creasing towards their Royal Master. This, too, roust, we imagine, soon become, by the by, a tender point. On th e on e h an d, w ill th e Hero of Waterloo —(a name and achievement which a grateful country must ever fondly cherish)—will the hero of Water loo like to see every cap flung up for King William, and none for himself ? Or will King William brook to have his own just popularity thwarted by sharing, in some degree, the want of it among his Ministers ? One of the blessings of the new reign must be, that Ministers can be no longer indifferent about that which their Sovereign wisely condescends to re glut!. We should despise them were they to seek after mere popular clamour—the mere buzzes of a mob ; but real popularity, though constrained to show itself in outward signs, of no great apparent Value, is deeper rooted than those signs would seem to justify. Though mere popularity, in its vulgar sense, may be beneath the attention of Statesmen, the goodwill of the people, and their coutidenee, cannot : and that which the Monarch himself so readily obtains may, with steady as much ease, bin obtained by his Ministers, if they will only take the seine sincere and honest means to secure it. — font Mg Herald. We question nmeh whether we shall succeed in prOucing any patriotic impression on the electors of the United Kingdom by the observations which we are about to make; but we, nevertheless, con skier it an imperative duty, as public journalis ts, to remind them that the period is now approach ing in which they will have an opportunity of exercising the highest and most important right of freemen, and that there never was one which called upon them, by every patriotic consideration, to exercise it with caution, impartiality, and firmness. The new Parliament, meet when it may, will have every thing to settle, both externally and internally. Abroad there is Portugal, whose affairs are not only in the same unsatisfactory state that they were two years ago, but with which our relations continue in the most embarrassing and awkward condition— there is the question at issue between Spain and her colonies, which it is of the utmost importance to our commercial interests to have set at rest for ever—there is the negociation still pending between the United States and this country respecting the colonial trade; and, last, but not least, there is the right of France to maintain possession of, and co lonize, Algiers. We say nothing of Greece, the af fairs of which have been so strangely mismanaged, because there is little doubt that some German Prince with more pride than pence, and more po verty than capacity, will be found to ascend the throne, and act, for the benefit of France and Russia, the part of Sovereign Prince; but there is enough in the matters to which we have more particularly alluded, to convince every one that the new Parlia ment will have some of the most important business to discuss which ever came under the consideration of a deliberative assembly, and, consequently, that it ought to consist of men alike distinguished for their intelligence and firmness, their patriotism and their foresight. Turning next to the internal condition of the country, we shall find equally ample and satis factory reasons for a strict scrutiny of the conduct and qualifications of candidates. There is the Re gency question, for example, which will require the most mature consideration, and which it is of the utmost importance to the future quiet and welfare of the country to have settled in a satisfactory mariner. There are the Corn Laws depressing the industry of the country, by raising unjustly the price of food, and producing rivals to our manufacturing and com mercial greatness in every quarter and country of the world—there is the Civil List, the nest of para sites and court flatterers, to be cut down and propor tioned to the condition of the country—there is the appropriation of the money vested by the present Parliament without inquiry, to be disowned or ap proved of—the Stamp Laws—the ;improvement of the civil judicature of the country—the state of the people of Ireland—and, lastly—for it is impossible to enumerate all the great questions which remain to be discussed, and the discussion of which cannot be any longer postponed—the means by which the taxation of the country may be reduced to an amount proportioned to the means of the people, and the public expenditure brought to the same level—we say, that all these questions will have to be dis cussed and settled, and that on those to whom these discussions shall be entrusted, will mainly depend whether all the great interests of the country shall continue, during the next seven years, in the same depressed condition that they now are, or whether a new impulse shall be given to the industry of the people, and general pros. perity succeed the general distress which now over spreads the kingdom. Let us, therefore, entreat the electors of the United Kingdom to be cautious in giving away their votes—to scrutinize strictly the qualifications of the different candidates—te reject all who have already forfeited their former pledges; to look out for men of liberal sentiments and intel ligent minds, and to demand peremptorily a pledge to reduce the taxation and expenditure of the coun try, and to amend the corn law system, as the indis pensable requisites f or h av i ng entrusted to them a portion of the legislative power. The t Colin ry abounds with men of talent and experience, in every way tit to be returned to Parliament ; and if the electors will but do their duty by themselves, as we have now pointed our, and bury all selfish and indi vidual views, for the sake of promoting the public interest, we have no doubt that they will come for ward, and that the labours of the new Parliament will form an era in the history of the country as glorious as it will be prosperous and happy.— ilforning Advertiser. A SCOTCIIMAN'S MOTIVE FOR VISIT- ING JERUSALEM. People travel from " divers, sundry, and vari ous" motives, mail of which seem strange enough to those not actuated by them. But the induce ment which led a young gentleman belonging to " Modern Athens" to visit ancient Jerusalem is indisputably droll. Jerusalem is usually sought by the learned, the devout, or the curious, in neither of which classes the Caledonian in question can be ranked. He would visit the holy city, though lie reeked not of its memories, its sanctity, or singularity. He had no thought of writing a book, of saying a prayer, or of ex ploring an unknown spot. No : yet was he undismayed by the difficulties of the journey, and the probabilities of the plague, for his soul was hungering and thirsting—after justice ? not a bit of it ; but after a regular succession of sub stantial Scotch dinners. " I will go to Jeru salem," ho exclaimed, " for having seen it, I shall, on my return to Edinburgh, be asked to dinner every day in the week." For Jerusalem, therefore, he set out, but, on arriving at Gaza, a frontier dividing the two Pachalics, he was de tained, and as be had no finnan the authorities put him under arrest, while a despatch was for warded to the Puha at Acre. Till the answer should arrive he was confined to a room, and given to understand strong suspicions existed of his being a Russian spy : and, as he was unable to make himself understood either in Turkish or Arabic, lie had no means of expressing his wishes but through a servant, who was occa sionally allowed to visit hint. Dining this per plexing confinement, he was occasionally visited with a " look in, by Turks, who very signifi cantly indicated what punishment they thought to be awaiting him. One of these true believers was particularly punctual in such visits. D a il y would he ente r th e room , and stand before the prisoner, grinning, and drawing his fore-finger from ear to ear, till he supposed the Englishman fully sensible of his meaning. After f our d ays an answer arrived from the meaning . at Acre, per mitting him to return without further molesta tion' but forbidding him proce e di ng on his in tended journey. To this, however, he would not consent, but persisted in going to Acre, ac companied by an escort ; and there he obtained leave to visit Jerusalem, still under an escort, which so diligently attended him, that he was unable to see the principal attracti ons o f t h e place, and also prevented from travelling in Syria. He returned to Cairo, and gave a full account of the issue of his attempt, from which lie had been persuaded by his friends. But he was content ; he h a d s een Jerusalem, and Edi na ' s dinners were secured. One circumstanc e of his trip, however, he could not think on with patience. Indeed, he declared, that of all the annoyances he had endured, none gave him an uneasy re flection, excepting the diurnal visits of the Turk, with his ominous digit.-- Webster's Travels.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jury 22. GARCIA V. PENNING AND OTHERS. The defendants in this case are underwriters; and the plaintiff, a merchant residing in the island of Faye!, brought his action against them to recover the amount of a policy of insurance effected on a vessel and cargo which was lost at sea. The defence was, that no such goods as those which were said to form the cargo had, in fact, been shipped on board the vessel; that the vessel had been scuttled, and afterwards set fire to designedly; and that the whole transaction bad originated in a design to defraud the underwriters. The evidence in the case was extremely voluminous. The Jury, after considering for an hour, returned a verdict for the defendants. The action has been tried twice before, and on both occasions the verdict was for the plaintiff. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JULY 22. Charles Fixolt the younger, a medical student, came up on his petition to be heard. An opposition had been entered against the insolvent by Messrs. Read and Co., tailors, but they did not answer when called. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER then proceeded to in terrogate the insolvent. It appeared that he had formerly petitioned this court, but was afterwards discharged by his detaining creditor, that he was a married man, but did not reside with his wife : there had been no deed of separation, and she was at pre sent supported by her friends. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—What has become of the clothes had from the different tailors you have dealt with ? Insolvent—They are worn out. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—What, 700/, worth of clOthes in five years I Yours are a scandalous set of debts. Why you could have set up a shop yourself. - Mr. CooKE, for the insolvent, said that tailors generally charged very heavily. CHIEF COMMISSIONER—He attributes his insol vency to the bounty of his friends having fallen off. The insolvent was then asked what money he had received since the last year, when he replied 3004, which he bad paid away for board and lodging. The Learned COMMISSIONER, addressing himself to Mr. Cooke, said, " You see he drives on in the same career of wanton extravagance," and, turning to the insolvent, he said, " if you persist in such a course, this will not be the only Court, perhaps, in which you will make your appearance." The insolvent having sworn to his schedule, the CHIEF COMMISSIONER observed, " As none of your creditors have thought proper to oppose your dis charge, it is not to be expected that the Court will remand you ; but I caution you to avoid such boundless extravagance in future, for should you get again into prison, you will have to remain there for a period of five years, since it is not likely that your creditors would consent to your being dis charged, neither would the Court interfere to re lieve you. In the absence of evidence against you, you are entitled to the benefit of the Act. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Among the disorderlies was Ann Cheshire, the wife of the late hangman. As she had been drunk every day since the demise of her husband, and of course unable to appear before the Magistrates to depose to her parish settlement, she had been given into custody on Wednesday night to ensure her being sober at the sitting of the Magistrate yesterday morning. _ An circler was made for passing her to Isleworch. MAitYLEBONE Charles Whiterow, a respectable-looking youth, about IS years of age, was charged with attempting to violate Dinah Little. The complainant is a young girl, in the service of Mr. White, a linendraper, at No. 41, Osnaburg street North, Regent's-park, and the defendant is employed in his shop. She stated that on Wed nesday night her master and mistress went out to spend the evening, and she sat up late to keep her fellow-servant company. At about half-past eleven, her fellow-servant went up stairs to turn down the beds, and she sat in the kitchen with her head re clined upon a table, and Charles came suddenly be hind her, and after seizing her two hands with one of his, and stopping her mouth with the other, he forced her into his bed-room, which was adjoining, and made a violent attempt upon her of the descrip tion above-mentioned. She was unable to scream, or call the other servant to her assistance, but she made all the resistance in her power, and prevented him from completing his intention; and at length the other servant came down, and he desisted. In answer to some questions by Mr. HOSKINS, she said he had occasionally used impudent expres sions, but never assaulted her before. He offered ss. to induce her to consent, and two silk handker chiefs, but she would not. The other servant, Kitty Claney, was then called into the Magistrate's office and examined. She was in the chamber, two flight of stairs above the kitchen, when she heard a noise of feet, as if one person was scuffling with another; she pulled off her shoes, that she might not be heard, and went down to the door of the defendant's bed room and stopped there and listened, and she heard Charles and Dinah use the following expressions :—Dinah, " I shan't, Charles; Charles, have done." Charles Keep quiet, you fool, I shan't hurt you," &e. She pushed the door open and found they were in the dark, and she fetched a candle from the kitchen, and was going into the room, but Charles came to the door of it, with his dress in disorder, and closed it against her; she put her hand between the door and the door post, and although he pressed it and bruised it very much, she declared she, would not draw it back until he opened the door. lie suffered her to open the door, and she gave him a slap in the face and called him a nasty dirty boy. She went round the bed and found her fellow-servant standing by the side of it, putting on her cap, and she gave her a blow on the shoulder, and asked, for goodness sake, what had they been about ? and this morning she told her mistress of it, and her master had Charles taken up. Mr. and Mrs. White were present, and Mr. RamiNsoN asked Mrs. White whether the servant Kitty's statement at the office corresponded with the account she in the first instance received from her. She said it did. Mr. llosms had some private conversatioa with 'kir. White, and then ordered the gaoler to lock up the defendant, and the witnesses to attend again at seven o'clock in the evening. In the evening Mr. IlosittNs considered it better to postpone the further hearing of the case till this day, but he told Mr. White, and some friends of the defendant who came to the office with him, that he would not send him to prison, hut have him taken for the night to the watch-house. • The defendant, in answer to the charge, said the girl had been rolling on the floor, with her clothes half-way up her legs, lle told her to take the child out of his room, that he might go to bed. She said she would not, but would lay down too; she threw herself upon the bed, and that tempted him to follow her, and take some liberties. LAMBETH-STREET. Our readers will remember that on Tuesday last we gave un account of the examination of four men, named Weston, Price, Shoolim, and Smith, charged with stealing 8301. On Wednesday evening Mr. Broadbelt, the grin dim( witness against them, came up to this office in a state of great alarm, and begged Mr. WYATT to grant him a private interview. Mr. WYATT, how ever, declined so doing, and Broadhelt then pro duced the following letter to the Magistrate, and re quested his advice and assistance 6$ Broadbelt,—Sir,—You will do no good bythat 3bo/. business, for before you can appear at the Old Bailey you shall be atiff, you You shall never give your evi. deuce at the Old Bailey unless you swear that they are not the men, and then we won't hurt you, and the person who robbed the ge►nman is out of the way, so you can never find lam or me. And us for the old t Magistrutes, and Walker and Wyatt, they shall have pepper, and the oiteera likewise. One is my relation ;do all in your power to save him, for God sake, and then I will do nothing to you nor the others. Pray, pray, intercede, or Wan Diemen's Land will have them, for God sake, and at present I remain, " A COMPANION." " P.S. I will drink your health over a bottle of wine; I am if I don't." Mr. WYATT, after reading the letter, said that he need not be at all alarmed, though Mr. Broadbelt had done right in submitting it to his (the Magistrate's) notice, and advised him to be very circumspect in hie conduct. A man applied to the Magistrates for assistance under the following circumstances :—He stated that about three years since l►e bought three seals and a key at the shop of Mr. Cochrane, a jeweller, in the Whitechapel-road. They were warranted fine gold, and he gave 3/. 10s. for them. He had since discovered they were nothing but brass. The Magistrates said they could do nothing for the applicant, and advised him in future not to give money for any thing until he had first discovered that it was what it purported to be. HATTON.GARDEN. 011 Monday last we published the particulars of a burglary and robbery committed on the premises of Mr. George Collier, No. 72, Hatton-garden, book binder, which took place on the Friday night pre vious, or early on the Saturday morning. Last night three persons, supposed to be connected with that transaction, were brought to this office, and placed at the bar before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Serjeant SELLON ; their names are Ann Richardson, Anne Dyer, and George King, and the circum stances under which they were apprehended are as follows : Mr. Busain, one of the police inspectors, of letter G division, as soon as he received information of the burglary and robbery in question, sent several of his officers with specimens of the valuable and splendid albums stolen from Mr. Collier to all the pawnbrokers and booksellers in London and its sur rounding neighbourhood, to afford them an exact description of the property, and to request that if any books of the kind were offered in pawn or for sale they would stop them, and also secure the in dividuals in whose possession they were found. This mode of proceeding had the desired effect ; for on Wednesday evening one of the albums belonging to Mr. Collier was offered in pawn at the shop of Mr. Maslin, pawnbroker, in the Westminster-road, by the prisoner Richardson, and Mr. Maslin, recog nising it to be exactly similar to the specimen he had before seen, stopped it, and gave the prisoner in custody to a police constable, Brown, No. 39, of letter B division. Richardson then at once stated that she received the book from the male prisoner, who, she said, sent her with it to pawn it, and be yond that she knew nothing whatever concerning the book or its owner. King, who is by trade a tailor, was immediately taken into custody at his lodgings, in Hertford-place, Waterloo -road. He declared that all he knew about the book was, that he had received it that evening from the prisoner Dyer, who was an acquaintance of his, and who re quested him to take it to a pawnbroker's and ascer tain its value by offering it in pawn. He accor dingly took the book, but not being in a condition to go out himself, at the moment, he delivered it to Richardson, who is a relation o f hi s , an d sent her with it. Tn consequence of this information, the police-officer proceeded to Dyer's residence, at No. 33, Wellington-street, Newington-causeway, and there apprehended her. When taken to the watch-house, her statement was, that on that day a strange man, rather tall in stature, engaged lodgings of her, and that he deposited the book in question with her as a guarantee for his taking possession, and for his payment of the first week's rent. Not knowing the value of the book, she handed it over to her friend King, to ascertain that for her in the manner already described. Mr. Collier, alter iden tifying the book produced as his property, and as one of the number stolen, observed, that it was a strange neglect on the part of the police, that the prisoners' lodgings had not been searched, from seven or eight o'clock the night before, when they were taken into custody, till ten o'clock that morn ing, when he was made acquainted with it, and suggested the propriety of its being done. Brown, the constable, said that his inspector was not at all aware of the nature of the case. The officers of this establishment said that the burglary and robbery were published in the Go vernment police reports, and also in th e H ue an d Cry Gazette, b ot h of fich are circulated among all the police stations. Mr. Busain, and Edwards the officer, stated to the Magistrate, that the husband of the prisoner Dyer had been found guilty at the last Old Bailey sessions but one, and sentenced to seven years ' transportation, but on what charge they did not know. Mr. Serjeant SELLON observed that there was a man of the name of Cook charged before him that morning, under very suspicious circumstances, with having been concerned in the same robbery, and us he had beers remanded until Tuesday next, he would also remand the prisoners at the bar till that day, that all might be brought up together for further examination. This was accordingly done, and the parties left the office. • MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JULY 22. Ann Buck, an ordinary-looking female, apparently about thirty years of age, was charged with con spiring with a Portuguese emigrant named Quartero, (who had been admitted to bail, anti did not now sur render to take his trial), to defraud and injure Joseph Garvino, by falsely swearing that the said Joseph Garvin() was the father of the child of which she was then pregnant, with intent to compel him to enter into sureties to the parish for its maintenance. Mr. C. PHILLIPS stated the case, which he ob served was one of great importance to the public, es such was the state of the law, that no man was safe from being unjustly saddled with burdens of this kind. The oath of the most abandoned female, if not contradicted by positive testimony, and few could hope to obtain such, was sufficient to fix the odium and expense of the maintenance of a spurious offspring upon the most respectable person. That perjury was frequently committed in this respect there could be doubt; but the difficulty of proof was so great, that it was almost impossible to prosecute the party for it with any hope of obtaining a con. viction. In the present case he should be able to show, from the admissions of the accused parties, that Quartero was the father of the child, and that the female prisoner had been induced by Quartero to swear the child to the prosecutor, although she well knew she never had any intimacy with him, Quartero having artfully represented to her that by so doing she would secure a better allowance for the maintenance of the child, the prosecutor being in good circumstances, while he was very poor. In consequence of the discovery of this conspiracy, Quartero, who had previously been in receipt of a weekly pension from the Society for the Relief of the Portuguese Emigrants, had been struck off their list. The prosecutor being sworn, deposed that he was by prof ess i on a surgeon, and till recent l y lodged in the same house as Quartero. The prisoner at the bar also lived in the house, in the capacity of a ser vant. Upon one occasion Quartero mentioned to him that he had been intimate with the prisoner, and that he feared she was pregnant by him : he then asked witness to ascertain if such was the fact, and if it were to give her something to procure an abor tion. Witness declined doing so, and told him to recollect that they were not in Portugal, but in Eng land, where the laws were very severe on the sub ject, and that they might be hanged for doing so. The same afternoon witness saw the prisoner, mid told her what had passed, and advised her if Quar tero offered to give her any medicine not to take it as it might cost her her life. A few days afterwards he again saw her, when she told him that Quartero wanted her to sw ear t h e c hi ld to him, for that he (Quartero) was so poor t h at he could not afford to keep it. The girl afterwards declared, in the pre sence of Quartero, that witness was not the father of the child ; yet after this she went before alb gistrate and swore that witness was its father• The CHAIRMAN here called for her depositioN when it turned out that the party who instructed Mr. Phillips had neglected to procure it from the parish officers. The CHAIRMAN observed the case could note on without it, and the jury, under his directioel found the prisoner—Not Guilty. THE MARKETS. SOUTHALL MARKET. --July 4 21.
