FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS (From the Gazette de France of Feb. 16.) PARIS, FEB. 15.—According to the Constitulionnel of yesterday, M. de St. Priest is recalled from the embassy to Madrid. This is false. M. de St. Priest has obtained leave of absence ) and keeps his title and his functions. According to the same paper, M. de Rayneval, who has scarcely arrived at Vienna, has received orders to return, and the place of first clerk in the Foreign-ogice was said to be reserved for him, There is likewise not a word of truth in this inde corous assertion. Several journals, anticipating eVents, give details o pf the expedition which is preparing against Algiers, and publish the names of the officers who are to command it. We believe that we are correct in saying that the expedition to Algiers is indeed resolved upon, but that nothing is finally arranged respecting the means and the persons to be employed. We must also 'Aare among the lies of the , lay the assertion of the Conslitutionnel, that if the ex pedition to Algiers should not receive that destina tion, it would go, according to circumstances, to the Levant, with en English squadron, if hostilities should re-commence between Russia and the Porte; or to Mexico, in order to support Spain in its pro jects for the recovery of its colonies. It does not appear what can have authorised that Journal to in• sert all these follies. It is reported at Versailles,that a house has just been hired there for the Duke of Cumberland.

Wednesday, the 17th instant; the Messager des Chanibrcs, the Moniteur, and other papers of Tuesday, the 16th inst. The Rfoniteur contains, in its oitcial part, a report of the Minister of Publit Instruction to the King, upon the state of schools for primary instruc tions. The Minister advises the establishment of these schools in all the communes of the kingdom, and the establishment of a. preparatory model school in each academical iiistrict of the University of IFrAlice, for the. purpose of forming schoolmasters; the Minim- v., likewise advises the providing of funds for the purpose of enabling the poor communes to stwort schools, and for giving pensions to aged echoolmasters. The report is followed by a Royal ordinance for the carrying into effect the recommen dations of the report. The Duke de Levis has died after a very thbr illness. Tha Constitutinnnel of the 16th zontains the lot owing article respecting thy expedition agains' Algiers " It is stated, that at the Council of Ministers, held on Sunday, theaprimment of tha Commander in-Chief of the expedition against Algiers was dig cussed. AMongst the candidates were Marshals St. Cyr, Marmont, and Molitor ; and Lieut.-Generals Claniel, Reille, and Gerard. It is said that M. de I3ourmont did not hesitate to place his own name on the list. Should he be selected, Field-Marshal Collet will naturally become the head of his staff; and it is reported that M. penile will be his chief of the civil administration of the army. M. Deni6e has never before been employed in any maritime expedition." " The 21fonitcur of to-day contains a letter ad dressed to the editor by M. Royer Collard, in which he declares, that a statement of the Gazette de France, on the 14th instant, that meetings of De puties had been held at the house of the late Pre sident of the Chamber, to be positively false, and that no 'meetings whatever have been held there since the close of the last Session. " The Journal de Commerce of this morning says—' It is rumoured that the following is the plan formed for the reduction of the Five per Cents:— Four per Cent. Stock is to be created, not reim burseable before the expiration of fifteen years, and which, after that term, can only be reimbursed with premium of five francs for every huudred of capi tal. The holders of Five per Cent. Stock are to have their option between the new stock or the re imbursement of their capital : the reimbursement of the whole is to take place at once, and according to the order of the numbers of the inscriptions. 111 order to meet the demands for reimbursements, which, on these condition*, cannot be many, Royal bonds to the amount of 2,000,0001. are to be created. In the details of the above plan, nothing is said of the *inking fund. The new Four per Cents. would evi de•ntly be above par from the moment of their crea tion ; consequently, the sinking fund could not act upon them. It is highly improbable that it would continue to be applied exclusively to the Three per Cents. unless it be wished to raise them immediately to par. Perhaps a portion of it may be devoted to pay off the Royal bonds nececsitated by the demands for reimbursement. " We extract the following, dated Banks of the Neva, Jan. 20, from the Hamburg Correspondent: ---` It is reported that our Government has trans mitted to Lord Ileytesbury a detailed note respect ing the affairs of Greece. It is also asserted, that the Russian Government insist on the principle, that as yet no elteration he made in the Government of Greece, and that the administration of that country shall continue to be entrusted to the indefa tigable zeal of the disinterested and philanthropic President. The choice of the Sovereign, it is added, is to be left to the wishes and will of the Greek nation, without any interference on the part of the Allied Powers. The Sultan himself is said to have expressed himself in this sense. Well-in formed persons assert, that these and many other European questions, will be discussed at a General Congress next spring, to be held at Berlin. The greatest activity is employed to complete our army in the east ; the new troops and officers, recently appointed, are required to hasten their march as much ac the severe winter will permit; and, as has been before stated, no furloughs are to be granted to officers.' " It appears by accounts from different parts of Spain, that A second expedition against Mexico has been definitively resolved on by the Spanish Go vernment. The vessels freighted at Cadiz to trans port troops will convey 1,200 infantry, a squadron of cavalry, and 11-0 artillery-men, to Manilla, and 3,000 infantry to Havanna!). " Extract of a private letter from Lisbon of the !Act ult. r---c Our Ministers have no hope of effect ing- a loan in Holland, arid it will be no longer pos sible to meet the current expences of the country; for according to the Treasury account, the charges for the year will be 40,000,000 francs, and the re venue does not produce 18,000,000. The receipts of the Customs for the last year were deficient 4,000,000. The. Treasury is so entirely exhausted, that the Bank has not yet received the interest on the loan of 1827, due oir the Ist instant, and paper money has fallen to a discount of 30 or 31 per cent. A contagious disease has made its appearance in the lazaretto and in the castle of Limoero, and five or six persons, confined there for political offences, die daily.' " In a letter of the 4th instant from Madrid, in serted in the Courrier de Bayonne, we read the fol lowing passage:—` The project of putting up fur sale, 4 'or in lottery, the Baldios and Realengos, will produce nothing. Agriculture is at too low an ebb for any speculation upon the waste lands ; even the proprietors of good estates neglect their cultivation for want of a market for their produce. The Go vernment is by , no means deceived in this respect. Every one knows the facility with which land of the above description has hitherto been granted to such as,„chooso to dcroantl it, and thac the demanders e .--. War-Office, Feb. 10, 19. T. H.

" The Duke assures Mr. Saint.bury that what he reads respecting him in the newspapera is not true. " The Duke has no intention of interfering with the Chnrch Establishment. " London, Jan. 29. " S. Saintsbury, Esq., 35, Red Lion-square,"— Bury and Suffolk Herald. Tho reply of the Duke of WELLINGTON to the Grand Jury of Kent has not yet been published. We are now enabled to subjoin a copy, by which our readers will perceive not only that it is equally laconic with the reply to the Magistrates of Sussex, but that the reluct ance of the Pretuier to acknowledge the distress of the country appears to b• unconquerable. Conviction will, we apprehend, he notwithstanding forced upon his Grate ere long:— London, Dee. 17, 1829. My Lottn,—l have had the honour of receiving your Lordship's letter of the l 6th instant, communicating to me, for the information of his Majesty's Government, the deep and unprecedented distress which the Gentlemen of the Grand Jury of the County of Kent are enabled to etate exists among all classes throughout that county.

MANNERS OF THE DAY.—It has been said that since the publication of Lady Citaatorrx BURY'S novel called " Flirtation," no work has appeared which for wit anel a certain air distinguj, is likely to compete with the forthcoming sketches of " The Manners of the Day." Dress, affectation, scand.l, amusement, flirtation, the more serious, though too often guilty, affairs of the heart, with all the dangerous varieties of dissipation com mon to splendid mansions and gilded palaces, are the sub jects which, with a highly moral purpose, have been chosen by the fair writer as materials for her tale. We have seen a letter from a high official per son connected with the army, which places beyond all doubt the fact of the intention of Ministers to make ex tensive reductions in that department of the service.— Dubliu Register. In looking back through the lives of the most illustrious poets, the class of intellect in which the charac teristic features of genius are, perhaps, most strongly marked, we shall find that, with scarcely one exception, from HostEn down to Lord BYRON, they have been, in their several degrees, restlm and solitary spirits with minds wrapped up, like the silk worms, in their own tasks, either strangers or rebels to domestic ties, and hearing shout with them a deposit for posterity in their souls, to the jealous watching and enriching of which almost all other thoughts and considerations are sacrificed. How ever delightful may he the spectacle of a man of genius tamed and domesticated in society, taking docilely upon him the yoke of the social ties, and enlightening without disturbing the sphere in which he moves, we must, never theless, in the midst of our admiration, bear in mind that it is not thus smoothly or amiably that immortality ha been ever struggled for, or won. The poet thus circum stanced may be popular, may be loved ; for the happiness of hims,lf and those linked with him, he is in the right road—but not for greatness. The marks by which fame has always separated her great martyrs from the rest of mankind, are not upon him, and the crown cannot be his. He may dazzle, may captivate the circle, and even the tines in whirls he lives ; but lie is not for hereafter.— Moora's Life of Bui.on, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 18, 1830.

" The following, I understand, is the plan about to be adopted for the reduction of the French Five per Cents. :—A new Four per Cent. Loan is to be created, not reimbursable for 1 years,—and even after that term, not without a premium of five francs on every hundred francs of capital. The holders of Five per Cent. Stock are to have an option between the new stock and the repayment of their capital, the whole of which is to be paid up at once, according to the order of the numbers inscribed. In order to meet the demands which 'may arise, and which probably will not be numerous, Royal Bonds are to be created, to the amount of two millions of francs. In these details nothing is said of the sinking fund. The new Four per Cents. would evidently be above par, from the moment of their creation, and, consequently, the sinking fund could not act upon them. It is very improbable that this fund would continue to be applied ex clusively to the Three per Cents., unless it be wished to raise them immediately to par. Part of it may, perhaps, be applied to the re payment of the Royal Bonds, created by the new arrangement. " A general Congress is spoken of to be held at Berlin in the course of the spring, one of the objects of which is said to be the settlement of .he affairs of Greece. " It is stated in letters from Cadiz of the 29th of January, that several vessels had been taken up in that port to carry out the troops which are about to be sent to Manilla and the Havannah. To the Manilla there are to be dispatched 1,200 infantry, a squadron of cavalry, and a party of 140 artillery ; to the Havannah, 3,000 infantry. These troops will embark in the month of March next. " From these letters it appears that no doubt is entertained at Cadiz of a second expedition being sent out against Mexico. The King's head is said to have been so raised on the sub- ject, that it is he personally who now chiefly desires the object to be realized, and insists on the expedition being formed on a great scale. It will not sail, however, till towards the months of September or October. In the mean time barracks are preparing at Cadiz for the troops as they arrive in detail, and who are formed as they come into expeditionary corps. " The Moniteur of this morning contains a letter from M. Royer Collard, the late President of the Chamber of Deputies, denying a statement which has lately appeared in various forms in the Gazette, that meetings had been held in the house of this distinguished Deputy, of the Members of the Opposition . The sting of the statement was contained in an insinuation, that an individual at one of these meetings, whose name was not given, had allowed himself to indulge in obser vations which had for their object the change of the dynasty. " M. de Lavalette, whose life was saved in 1815, by the extraordinary exertions of Sir Ro bert Wilson, and of Messrs. Hutchinson and Bruce, died yesterday at his residence in the Rue Matignon. His funeral takes place to-morrow." The destruction of the English Opera House removes the only obstacle which stood in the way of effecting a great improvement in, the Strand. The want of a street leading directly to the North from Waterloo-bridge has been long and seriously felt. We understand that the Commissioners of Woods and Forests have had a plan in contemplation for making a street towards the North as far as Holborn, which would afford a facility of communication with the West end of the town by Oiford street, I>tli Ole P.':! crib by Tottenham Court road, and with the North-East by Holborn, and the other leading thoroughfares. The time has now arrived for taking advantage of the late calamity, by carrying such a plan into effect.— A very noble street might be made to the British running in a direct line be tween Covent-garden and Drury-lane Theatres Nor is the value of the property through which it is to pass, so great as people imagine. It would pass through Charles -street, Bow-street, Charles -street, Long-acre, and the extreme end of Drury-lane to Museum-street ; or, if the expense were an object, it might be car ried through Hanover -street, Belton -street, into the Broadway, thus forming a junction with the grand line of new street from St. Mar tin's-lane. The advantages which would result from the formation of such a communication, are too obvious to require any comment. The proprietors of Watcrloo-bridge would then stand a fair chance of remuneration for the capital sunk in that truly national work. We trust Lord Low.rxma will take up the business with his usual spirit, and " the work is done." LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY). HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordship sat this morning at Half-past Ten o'clock on Scotch appeals. The Lords in attendance were the LORD CIIANCELLOIL, and Lords Noarnwrcz and WHAIINCLIFFX. FORBES V. 1511 AW. Thii was an appeal from tke judgment of the Court of Session. Mt. Forbes (whose representatives were the appel lants) was for many years previous to his dealt a heritor, or land-owner in Falkirk, the church of which parish in the year 1800 was in a considerable state of dilapidation; after several meetings between the heritors, a committee was appointed, and it was deter mined to enter into a contract with persons to repair the church, the expense of which (4,7001.) was to be defrayed by assessment upon the heritors of the parish. Mr. Forbes objected to any contract being entered into till the necessary sums were raised ; this objection, however, was overruled by the committee, among whom were come of the respondents, and the contracts were entered into. Mr. Forbes immediately paid his proportion of the assessment, 1,4001. Many of the other heritors were back ward in their payments; the building of the church went on, and the committee were obliged to give bills and get them discounted at the Falkirk Bank, for the purpose of meeting the expence of the repair.. It ultimately turned out that many of the persons assersed were totally unable to pay ; this caused a great deficiency in the funds, to obviate which another assessment was made upon the solvent heritors, and among the rest, upon the appellant., who resisted the payment upon the ground that though Mr. Forbes had paid the whole of his previous assess ment, he had done so protesting against any contract being entered into for the repairs of the church until the necessary sums for those repairs were raised. Upon the case coining before the Court of Session, they declared that the representatives of Mr. Forbes were liable for this re-assessment. Against this decision the present appellant appealed. Mr. CAMPBELL and Mr. Wll:sCliti were Counsel for the appellant, and Mr. Serjeant Srearictic and Er. Nam. appeared for the respondent. The arguments were not concluded when we left. were even exempt from the payment of taxes for ten years.'—Journal du Commerce.

The point for decision in this ease was, in what manner a legacy of 12,0001. and a fraction Four per Cent. Bank Annuities should be satisfied. The testator died in Oc tober, 1823, having made his will in the October of the previous year, leaving his daughter the legacy in question, with directions that it should he investA in the Four per Cents., for the purpose of accumulation during the daugh ter's life, at the termination of which the legacy was to be divided among her children. At the time the testator made his will, there were two funds, knows by the name of Four per Cent. Bank Annuities, and the executors were puzzled in what manner to satisfy this gift. The testator was in possession of 4,7251. New Four per Cents. and a large anm in consolidated Four per Cents., which, in 1824 were reduced to 3i- per Cents. On the part of the plaintiff it was contended, that the gift was not specific but general, and that it would be fully satisfied by in vesting the money in any 4 per Cents. that were in existence. For the defendants it was argued, that the gift was void for uncertainty. his HoNouß considered the executors were fully justified in investing the sum in any per Cents. they thought proper, and decreed accordingly. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. 2I.ANEY V. PARLEY. This WAS an action of assault and battery. The plain tiff is a tailor, residing at Horton, and the defendant a clerk in the banking-house of Messrs. Couttr and Co. It appeared front the evidence, that the parties met, on the 16th of June, at a public-house in the Kent-road, where the defendant and a friend were playing at cards. A wager was proposed by the plaintiff, and accepted by the defendant, when the latter, to use his own language, desired the latter "to post the pony." This provoked the defendant, who considered his honour attacked : high words arose, which were shortly followed by blows. It was proved that the plaintiff had hen much injured, and that it had cost hint more than 71. for medical attendance. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 201. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. REDUCTION-GIFFORD V. ANDERSON. Mr. Serjeant WILDE stated the ease for the plaintiff, This was a case different from those which ordinarily came before the Court. The defendant, a Mr. Josiah Rose An derson, having aviled himself of the opportunity which the eircumstAnce of being a lodger in the house of the plaintiff, had afforded him, of seducing one of his daughters. Mr. Gifford was a boot and shoe maker, and the father of nine children. The female, who was the subject of the present action was the eldest, being only IS or 19 years of age. Ile was not in an extensive way of business, but bore a most respectable ehrrae ter, and in order to support his large family was un able to keep a servant. The Jury would readily believe that the assistance derived from the attentions of the elder branches of the family was very great. Mr. Gifford was not only a boot and shoe-maker, but also a box door keeper at a theatre. The defendant was possessed of a property of three or four hundred pounds a-year, and as it would appear in evidence was much attached to music, for he was taking instructions at the time from a Mr. Loden. Being at Bath for his amusement he applied to Mr. Loder to recommend him to a lodging. Ile accordingly recom mended him to the plaintiff. The plaintiff having no servant, the defendant was waited upon by the wife of the plaintiff, and her daughter occasionally. Before the occa sion which gave rise to the present action, the parents had not the slightest idea that he had formed any plans against any of his daughters. A person sa circumstanced as the defendant, recommended himself by his attentions to this young woman, and a short time before he l e f t the house he took occasion to debauch her. She became pregnant, and after a great deal of suffering bore a child. It was not an unusual thing with the defendant to have his bed warmed, during which operation be remained below in the drawing-room, until one or other of the family had warmed it fur him. Ile believed the Jury would find that the eldest daughter attended on this particular night to warm his bed. While she was doing so, he stole lightly up after her taking off his shoes, and that acsident occurred to which he bad referred. He was now 25 or LO years of age, and he has taken himself off to Italy, to seek more informathe on the subject of his musical acquirements Ile (Setjeant Wilde) supposed that the defendant thought that he could prosecute his plan as he lirtvW he was withdrawing self from the country. This young woman had been Very much affected by what had occurred, and ever since she produced the child, had been unable to render any assist ance to her father, which would have been of so mu ch value in his situation of life. He *as, therefore, compelled to present his complaint to the Jury, to recover compensation for the loss of the services of his daughter, whirl► formed the formal ground of the com plaint. As the rnle of law at present prevailed, a jury was called upon to give a verdict for damages in such a case. He asked then such a verdict from their hands as a parent in an humble sphere of life, who was now under the necessity of exposing his child to such an extent, was en titled to. The prospects of the young woman were destroyed. Ile was sure that they would give such a verdict as the nature of the crime demanded. With regard to his Learned Friend, who was opposed to him, he (Sergeant Wilde) could net conceive how far any circumstances which he might bring fortrard, could undervalue the injury he (Serjeant Wilde) had stated. The parents knew not how the defeudant had recommended himself to this young woman; all that they knew was that they had a large and young family, and that it was important, with regard to the prospects of that large family, that they should have the character of their eldest daughter free from reproach. But here a most important and interesting branch of the family had been ruined and destroyed. Pecuniary compensation was but a pnr relief for the injuries the plaintiff had suffered. Hut yet it was the only way the defendant could be called upon to atone fur his misconduct, in effecting an injury which every min of honour and feeling would shudder at. He would have the painful task of presenting this young woman before the Court, and she would have to tell her own tale. What a miserable situation she would be put in while doing so! What must be the feelings, embarrass ments, and difficulties attendant on such a situation as her's ! She had been the victim of the arts of the defen dant. Her misconduct had been as little as such great misconduct could possibly ever be. He begged to state that his Learned Friend opposed to him must not surmise that he in the slightest degree feared his cross-examination, or that by any circumstances he could exempt the defendant from making the fullest compensation, which he expected they would give by their verdict. He would call the medical man who attended the young woman, who would tell the Court what her sufferings were. This was really an action by a father which related to a young woman whose cha racter was scarcely formed, and who was necessarily ex posed, by the necessities of the family, to such an injury as she suffered. Emma Gifford was called up—She was an interesting looking young woman, neatly dressed, fair in eomplexion, and of a modest appearance. She stated the p4rticulars of the transaction with as much delicacy as she possibly could. The defendant came to lodge with her father in November, 1828, and on thenight of the 19th of January following, she opened the hall-door for him, when he ex pressed a wish for his bed to be warmed, which she ac cordingly did, but before she quitted his bed-room, he came up and accomplished his object. After the evidence had been gone through, the Jury re tired for about a quarter of an hour, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 500/. Mr. Serjeant MEREVIITHEIL—I object to that verdict— the damages in the declaration being only 300/. Mr. Serjeant WILDE—I will consent then to take ii at 3001. BEACHT V. FRAYNE.

Nadler, and stealing therefrom a watch, value 71, the property of John Fife. The pi oseeutor Phted that be lived at Mile-end. On the 18th of January, during his temporary absence from lame, his house was entered, and the watch taken out of a trunk in his bed-room. It was afterwards found at A pawnbroker's in the Commercial-road. The watch was worth more than 71. George Giles, a pawnbroker, deposed that the prisoner pawned the watch which he now produced (and which was identified by the prosecutor), at his shop on the day of the robbery. Witness, however, could take opts , himself to say that it was not worth half the sum the prosecutor valued it at A constable stated that the prisoner bearing that be was supected of the robbery, 'voluntarily came forward and surrendered himself into custody. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery. Mr. Justice • BAYLEY, in summing up, told the Jury if they thought the prisoner guilty of stealing the watch he could not be convicted of the capital charge, as it did not appear there was any forcible entry, and the value of the property was under 51. _ Jury returned a verdict of " Guilty of stealing, bat under the value of 51." Louisa IVilliarns, aged IS, was indicted for stealing a watch and other articles, value 71., the property of Wm• Cooke. The indictment charged the robbery to have been com mitted in the dwelling-house of Thomas Webb, which is a brothel, at Somers' Town ; but there being no proof that Webb was the occupier of the holm, the prisoner, under the directi.n of the leaned Judge, was acquitted. Henry Richards and Thomas Burdett were indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Sneannna Hawse, and stealing wearing-apparel of more than the value of M. The details of this ease were quite uninteresting. The prisoners' guilt was clearly proved, and the Jury returned a verdict of—Guilty—Death. THE ICING V. TRAIT. Mr. Justice 'ha-Lir pronounced the decision of the Twelve Judges in this case. It will be recollected that the prisoner, who had been a respectable merchant in the city, was convicted last Sessions of a larceny, in fraudn. lently obtaining possession of a large quantity of bristles. The evidence was that the prisoner agreed to purchase the bristles for ready money; before, however, be paid for them, he sent a person and got an order for their delivery. A clerk of the owner's went us the wharf to see the goods delivered, and had orders from his employers not to let them . go without the money was first paid. The prisoner, how ever, prevailed upon the person to let him have the bristles without the money, as he said he had sold them for cash, and would pay for them before they were taken out the cart. The bristles were then put into a cart, which the prisoner followed, and gay* orders to the carman to take them to another place than which he had first given orders for. --- The Jury, on the trial, were of opinion that it was never the intention of the prisoner to pay fur the goods, and re turned a verdict of guilty of a larceny. A point had been submitted fur the decision of the Judges, whether or not the manner in which the prisoner obtained poseessien of the goods was sufficient in law to constitute a larceny. Ilia Lordship, after citing a great number of authorities, said it was the opinion of the Judges that the conviction wax right. If a person or any one authorised by him, gave up the owership to any goods, it was not a larceny ; but if an owner parted with possession only on certain terms, and not reliquieli his right of ownership until those terms were fulfilled, it was in law a larceny. Now in this case it teat clear the ownership had never been parted with, As it never was intended to have have let the bristle! be taken out of the cart before they were paid for. Besides, it appetred the clerk of the owner had no authority to give np possession, and not being authorised, it made the eerie clearly a larceny. The conviction, therefore, was good in law —Conviction affirmed. The prisoner, a most respectable-leoking man, bowed respectfully to the Court, but made no observation. THE KI.O V. GILISEET WAKE. The prisoner Wake was convicted last Sessions of a burglary in the office of the Norwich Union Association. The indictment described as the dwelling-honae of Mr. Bnnysn. An objection was raised that this was not a proper descrip tion, as the house belonged to the Company, and not to Mr. Bun) on, who was only a servant of the Company. The point hid been referred to the Judges, who were of opi nion the house was properly described. Mr. Bunyon and his family laved there, he had free access to all parts of it, and the fact of his not paying any rent or taxes did not at all alter the case; the conviction was therefore good in law,—Conviction affirmed. NEW COURT. A man of respectable appearance named William Aber crombie, aged 45, surrendered on hail, and was indicted for stealing on the 9th of December last, a promissory note for 371., and a quantity of linen, the property of Ann Metric. _ The bill of ietment against the prisoner was found during last Sessions, hut was by some means held over until the present. The prisoner, in the mean time,' ap plied to the Court of King's 13eneh, and was there admit ted to hail. It appeared in evidence, that the proseentrix lodged in the house of the prisoner, at No. 127, Ilateliffe-highway. On the 21st of November she left town, and on her return, on the ittli of December, she found her trunk had been broken open, and the articles charged in the indictment stolen therefrom. The trunk had been left in charge of the prisoner, who kept a lodging-house. Th e j u ry, under the direction of the learned Judge, lrt" turn: d a verdict of Not Guilty ; bnt added, that in their opinion the transaction was a most suspicious one, and qui , . unexplained on the part of the prisoner. The Learned COMMON SWEANT concurred with the Jury, and told the prisoner that it was his duty to com pensate the prosccutrix for' the loss she had sustained. There is now residing at North Moor within Oldham a roc, of the name of PET EX. BLZASI, who 18 in the 7stli year of his age, and who has, within the lass ,seven or eight months, cut twelve fresh teeth, four of which arc double ones. It is rather singular that those on the top are cut inside his old ones, and these at the hottorn oat the outside. He is well known in the neighbourhood of Oldbant as a vocalis t and fancy gardener. .54 8.T.A5ziR2A3,0.,68F WVaitd c00t7:7- , c;.;=-Jcc coZ.7l=m to tti• frre: 4 . C 74 ~.
