The property will be sold is several lots. The land is of the best quality for garden produce, and is let to respectable tenants at low rents.

PROSPECTUS of the LONDON and WESTMINSTER BANK.—His Majesty's Go vernment baying declared the law to be that no obstruc tions exist to impede the formation of Banks of Deposit with an unlimited number of partners, it is universally considered that a Joint Stock Bank of Deposit should he established in London and Westminster, with such an ex tent of capital as will insure the perfect confidence and security of depositors, and the greatest practical accommo dation and assistance to trade ano commerce. Many noblemen, gentlemen, merchants, and tradesmen, considering that every circumstance combines to make it desirable for the public good at once to establish such a Bank, the undermentioned Committee has been formed, on whom will devolve the duty of making the necessary arrangements for constituting the Bank, of forming the direction, and of maturing the plan for the future manage ment of the establishment, including the settlement of the deed of constitution, and the revision and alteration of the conditions of this prospectus in their discretion. The success of Joint Stock Banks is not experimental, but ascertained, and practically illustrated by the admitted prosperity of such Banks in England, Scotland, and Ire land. This affords the best reason for anticipating similar success to the present more extended establishment, pro posed to by conducted upon the same approved system of banking. The advantages of joint stock banks are obvious— " Their capital cannot be diminished by either deaths or retirements ; their numerous proprietors ensure to them confidence and credit, as well as ample business in depo• sits, loans, and discounts ; and their rigid exclusion of every kind of mercantile and speculative transaction, affords a satisfactory guarantee to the community at large that their means are only employed in legitimate banking operations. They are under the management and con troul of men who are elected by the respective proprietors, who have no individual interest which can induce them to depart from an approved prudential course, and who are a safe and constant check upon every transaction and upon every officer in the several establishments; and their sp• tem of accounts is so accurate tbat there is little trouble in producing, at any time, a clear and full statement of their stock and business, however great the one or extensive the other." It is intended, as far as may be practicable, to allow a graduated scale of interest on deposits; and while none of the beat parts of the system pursued by London Private Bankers will be over-looked, it is proposed to give such other facilities to the public as have bee❑ afforded with so much advantage to all classes by Joint Stock Banks in Scotland, and by the various similar Establishments more recently formed in England and Ireland. It is proposed that the Bank shall he designated " The London and Westminster Bank," and that the establishment shall be forthwith formed in the City, and for the accom modation of the public a Branch Bank will be simultane ously established at the West end of the town. It will be in the discretion of the Directors, under the deed of constitution, to establish other branches where it may be deemed expedient. The capital shall be 10,000,0001., divided into 100,000 shares of 1001. each, in order that the mercantile and trading community and the public in general, who may become proprietors, may, by this extensive distribution of shares, acquire an interest in the prosperity of the establishment, and participate in its advantages. Five pounds per share will he, in the first instance, payable by those becoming proprietors, to five of the un dermentioned Committee as Trustees, according to direc tions which will hereafter be conveyed to them individu ally, and any further call that may be required, will be made under the sanction of the Directors and the deed of constitution. No subscriber holding a smaller number than thirty shares shall be eligible to be elected a Director. A General Meeting of the Proprietors will be held in each year, at which a statement of the affairs of the Bank will be submitted. The deed of constitution will contain all the usual and neceroary clauses. The present Committee, with power to add to their number, is composed of— The Most Noble the Marquis of BUTE. The Right Hon. Lord STUART DE ROTHSAY. Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE, Bart., M.P. PATRICK MAXWELL STEWART, Esq., M.P. HENRY THOMAS HOPE, Esq., M.P. JOHN STEWART, Esq., M.P. SAMUEL ANDERSON, Esq. GEORGE ARBUTHNOT, Esq. HENRY BOSANQUET, Esq. WILLIAM ROBERT KEITH DOUGLAS, Esq. HENRY HARVEY, Esq. MATTHEW BOULTON RENNIE, Esq. PEARSON THOMPSON, Esq. Applications for Shares to he addressed to the Secre tary to the Committee of the London and Westminster Bank, at its temporary Of f ices, No. 35, Great Winches ter-street, Old Broad-street ; and No. 11, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall. The Committee, in apportioning the Share s, will be con ,. munity to distribute th em among suc h c lasses 01 the munity as are likely to promote th e future interests of the Estatphabinent. The investigation respecting the burning of the Custom house stores has not yet terminated, and consequently the newspapers are not at liberty to publish such facts as have been elicited relative to that disaster. As coming events, however, cast their shadows before them, the good peopl e of this city are pretty well satisfied that the sulmtonce of the inquiry, when made known, will not amount to much more than that, " notwithstanding some suspicious cir cumstances and idle stories, and considerable neglect on the part of some persons, who ought to be more vigilant on behalf the traders of Dublin, there is no ground to suppose that the catastrophe was produced by an incen, diary, or the effect of malice." That such will he the re sult of an inquiry, with the particulars of which, pro btbly to-morrow's post may supply you, the following fact leaves little reason to doubt. Though the investigation is not yet closed, it was resolved on Saturdty that a deputa tion should go immediately to London, to bespeak an indemnity from Government for the sufferers. Mr. O'Connell, who has been laudably active in this business, is one of the deputation, and has already departed on his mission. In his speech on Saturday he insinuated a threat, that if Government did not voluntarily compensate his fellow-citizens for their losses by this " untoward event," they might be compelled to do so. This may be fairly inferred from what he said, though be declined giving any opinion on the law of the case ; and, independent of facts not yet made public, many persons bete think O'Connell's view of this business is as correct, as it is under all cir cumstances very discreet on his part. The doctrine of " implied contracts" would seem to say, that if stores have been provided for the bonding of goods for a certain period, there ought to be a guarantee somewhere, that such goods would be safe in these stores. It was under this impression your correspondent, in giving an early account of the fire, ventured to say, " that unless Go vernment interposed" the consequence would be ruinous to many persons in this city. Does not this affair afford O'Connell an excellent opportunity of ingratiating himself with Government, as well as with such of his fellow - citizens as hitherto differed with him in politics? His speecl.es here of late were remarkable for the praise of Mr. Littleton, and the absence of all abuse of the " Whig Ministers." This at a period when the tribute " comes slowly in," looks as if our friend Dan had some notion of becoming really useful to himself and his country. Those who say that tithes are virtually abolished in this country, will be borne out by facts in their assertions. It is in vain for Government to load the Statute-book with Acts of Parliament on this subject, which must prove a dead letter, except in disturbing the peace and happiness of Ireland. The people refuse to enter into a composition for their tithes under the late Act, openly declaring that they will never again pay such an unreasonable impost. A meeting was convened by the parson of the parish of Duncormick, in the county of Wexford, and a Commis sioner, last wetk, the result of which shows the impolicy of endeavouring to sustain a system long since tottering under the light of reason, expediency, and justice. Not more than fifteen parishioners assembled, who one and all told the Commissioner and parson they would enter into no agreement for the payment of one farthing in lieu of tithes. Three sturdy farmers of real John Bull extrac tion, Duke, Brown, and Barry, the descendants of those Englishmen who first settled in Ireland, declared that they and their fellow-parishioners would quietly suffer their property to be destroyed and carried away by the agents of unreasonable laws, but they would not voluntarily enter into agreements alike abhorrent from common sense and public decency. In fact, Government should at once provide for the present clergy of the establishment in Ire land during their lives, abolish tithes, and leave all future ministers of peace to support themselves otherwise than by the property of those who deem its demand unjust and its payment an extortion. It is to be apprehended that any laws net founded on this basis will not only be abortive in effect, but the cause of further mischief and bloodshed in this unfortunate country. TRADE OF SHEFFIELD.—The cutlery trade is in a tolerably brisk state ; the workmen are general 'y employed, and the poor rates are lighter than they were last year. WELSH FLANNELS.—The East India Com pany's order for 20,000 yards of funnels, after being one year sent to Lancashire, has again been sent to a draper in Shrewsbury ; the quality of the Lancashire goods being found so very inferior as to be nearly useless in India. At the flannel market in Newtown, on the 25th ult. the most scarce goods were those at from 6d. to 14d, per yard ; middle-goods 15d. to 21d. ; fine and Superfine 22d to 2s. 9d. Inquiries were made for extra superfine at from 3s. 6d. to 3s. 9d. ; but there were not goods enough in the market; and as wool has much advanced, the manufactured goods must consequently advance. _. Cambrian. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 16.—. At this day's market our prices of Wheats were fully dearer than on Tuesday, particular kinds Id. a 2d., i n consequence of unsettled weather and increasing rumours of a defective wheat crop; the business transacted, bow. ever, was limited, and chiefly with the town dealers. Oats, oatmeal, Irish flour, and barley, were all dull, a t former rates. Beans are Is. a 2s. dearer. No transac tions have been reported in bonded articles, but holders very steady. —Liverpool Standard of Friday. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 15. —The demand for cotton continues animated. 8,000 bags have been sold to-day, at an advance of id. per lb. on the prices of Friday. A further rise is expected. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 16. --Our market has been very quiet today, though we have had a good attendance of dealers, who are waiting the intelligence by the New York packets, which, so far as we can learn, is decidedly in favour of a further improve. ment in price. The dates are to the 15th ult., which state that, " in the previous week, an advance of a cent per lb. was obtained, partly on account of advices from hence to the Ist of June, with an improvement here, but more particularly from the circumstance of the very small stock held at New York, which would all be wanted for their own and the French markets ; consequently, we cannot possibly have much more into this market until the new crop comes forward. The stock of cotton held here is about 70,000 bales less than at the same period last year.—Liverpool Standard. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SATUR DAY, Aug. 17.—The market has been very steady during the week, and to-day, in consequence of an increased speculative demand, id per lb. advance has been realized in American descriptions. Brazils are generally firm, and in Pernams sales have been made id per lb. hi g her. The sales of the week, including 12,600 bales American, 700 Pernams, 600 Maranham, and 100 Surat taken on speculation, amount to 24,150 bags, and the imports to 4412 bags. The demand has been lively to-day : the sales amount to 7000 bags—Prices may be quoted as yesterday, with a strong tendency to rise.—The accounts received yesterday, from New York, of the supply being short, has stimulated speculation within these two days. NEW YORK COTTON-MA RKET.—We copy the following from a letter, dated New York, July 15, received by a commercial house this day :—" The Cotton Market during the last eight days has been very animated, and our anticipation that the purchasers would be com pelled to accede to the demands of the holders has been fully realized. The sales have been extensive and the actual prices at the close of last week ranged from z to 11 cents. per lb. higher than the rates which were previously obtainable. The result has been, no doubt, hastened by the tenor of the advices received this day week, by the Caledonia, from Liverpool, to the Ist ult. ; but the main cause is the opinion generally entertained and confidently expressed, that the stocks of Cotton in this country are so exhausted as to be scarcely more than sufficient for the supply of the French m •rket and for home use till the new crop comes forward, thus leaving the English market for the remainder of the year without any further supplies of consequence from the United States. We quote Uplands, Tennessees, &e., or dinary to fair, 13c. to 15c. ; fully fair to good 154 c. to 161 c. Fine Mobiles, Louisianas, &c., 15e. to 17e. The s Iles since the 6th inst. are estimated at 7,500 bales.— Liverpool Standard. LUDICROUS ACClDENT.—Yesterday, while an elderly woman was passing along the South Bank of the Canongate laden with more than an ordinary quantity of the spirit of Barleycorn, which affected rather disad vantageously her eye-sight as well as her gait, she hap pened, in obedience to the law of gravitation, to fall into a well that was being digged, when an Ii ishman, who was h to ers the e lfpwreajsu verydice working in the w e ll, rece i ved one of her feet right into h i s mouth woman of f tt fi le h veo u r rt- hs .

Stainbank, at 1:2 HERRING FISHING.—WICK.--.The great sea harvest of this country, and indeed of the whole extent of the east coast of Scotland, is now in progress here —we mean the herring fishery. During last week the take was moderate, and not general. Some boats fished nearly or up to 30 grans each night. The weather was favourable, the wind N.N.W., with little variation, and in every instance so moderate as to admit the boats proceeding to sea. Of 1,000 boats from Wick alone, the deliveries average 15 to 20 crans per boat; one boat contained upwards of 80 crane. The fishing during the week in the southward has greatly surpassed the achievements at Wick within the period alluded to, which shows that the shoals are not only dense, but in great progress towards the Forth. Calculating the value of the cran of herrings to the fishermen, at the standard prices, 1 ls. each, and allowing 1,000 boats only had been employed on Friday evening, and that each boat had taken the minimum of 15 crane, there must have been earned by the fishermen from Wick alone, for that night's labour, 5,2501.--or 1/. ISt. each man. Many of the curers will be unable to finish the preparation of their stocks of herrings for the barrel, and must merely " roose" or sprinkle the fish with salt until the succeeding Monday. No accident has occurred during the fishing.—Edinburgh Observer. THE HOUSE TAX.—(From a Correspon dent.)-0a Friday night a meeting of the Westminster Central Committee for the repeal of the house tax wp.B held at the British Coffee-house, Cockspur-street, Mr. WYLD in the chair. A letter from Mr. HUME, explaining that be withdrew his motion in consequence of the pledge given by the Chancellor of the Excheoner that the re peal of the house tax should take pbwe, was read. Mr. Baowti observed, that be hoped the labours of the Cen tral Committee were at an end, and the pledge given by the Noble Chancellor of the Exchequer would be adhered to by him, so as to prevent them from being under the necessity of compelling the Noble Lord to do that which he had voluntarily engaged to do. He proposed a reso lution to the effect, that while the meeting regretted that their most sanguine expectations had not been realized, they confided in the communication of Lord Avrnoftr, that the house tax would be repealed next session. After some ifiscus , ion, the resolution was unanimously adopted. A resolution to the effect that the meeting renewed their pledge not to dissolve until the total repeal of the house tax was effected, and that they should adjourn to the first Thursday after the meeting of Parliament the next session, was agreed to, and the meeting separated. - GROSS INYATUATION.—In our last we men tioned the ravings of one HANNAH BEEDHAM, whose trances and predictions and street preachings had gained her no small degree of notoriety among the religious of a certain caste. A short time since she predicted the day and hour of her own death, w hi c h was to ta k e place on Thursday week, in the village of Kelfield, about ten miles from York. Thither she retired to meet the consummation of her prediction, and thither many hundreds of believers followed her, mostly dressed in mourning, to testify their reverence by at ending her obsequies. The dyers were busily employed i n g i v i ng t h e f unera l co l our to garments of various descriptions for the great occasion. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good, so says the proverb, and the ferryman experienced its truth, for he netted 151. by conveying over those who went to be present at sister HANNAH'S departure. Tl.e prophetess lay in waiting for her change, sometimes holding conversation with the celestial beings she was so soon to join, and anon, exhort ing the tenant s of mortality she was so soon to leave. The Methodist chapel was opened, and numbers assembled there to pray : processions, singing funeral hymns, passed along the village street, and altogether the scene was one of the most extraordinary of modern times. The predicted hour came and passed away, and HANNAH continued amongst her earthly friends. Some, willing to be con• vinced, remained all night, but when morning came, and found HANNAH still an inhabitant of the lower sphere, they gave up their faith. One fact must be told : how ever soirituall y - m i n d e d the devotees must b e, they did not live by faith alone, for the three hotels of Kelfield were empty to the 1 ir d er an d ce l lar, an d even t h e a djacent orchards and turnip-fields gave proof of having had a visi tation.--Leeds Intelligencer. ci„,/ T ere: , rest, residing at Maribor!, near Sunbury.

She w as engaged, and shortly Afterwards removed to fulfil the duties of her new situ j :aims, having to attend upon her mistress and the young ladies. There were besides herself three other servants in the house--namely, footman, cook, and house. maid. The lady kept a carriage, but had not her ow """'"""" horses.

She came to town the same deg, and went to the proprietor of the house in Newgate se.eet, y whotn she tow originally been referred to sltss Forrest, but who now said he knew nothing of the parties, beyond his house having been made a place of reference. Sir F. A. Rost said it was certainly a strange_ and mysterious story, but he could afford her no assistance. The poor woman and Mr. Squire then quitted the office. QUEEN- 8 QU ARE. A LovEssrcar aLarsora.—Yesteroay Hannah Veale, a matronly dame, upwards of forty years of age, with a Portuguese cast of countenance, was charged under the following circumstances : Hannah lived in the service of a respectable family in Cadogan-place, and has bees smitten by the goodly ap pearance of Mr. Cattelough, a green-grocer in Han:- street, New-road, Chelsea. Mr. Cattelough is not gal lant enoat'h to return her affection, thouab she has fre quently told him site Boats upon, and that he is ever to tier mind. A fortnight ago she was so enraged at his coolness, that she slapped his face with a pair of shoes. Hannah said, in reply to the charge of annoyance, than the complainant had made proposals of marriage to her; but the complainant denied this, and exhibited several letters to confirm this statement. The following is a copy of one of the lady's epistlea : Deer C— 1 hav takin the liburtey wonse 'nor to rite to you to Beg you to make up your minde with me. pray Dont keep me in in sos prose any longur for I am truly on happy, Deer pet yu now I all ways luve with all the vanes of my hart.

At a Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen, held at the Council Chamber of the Guildhall, London, this 7th day of May, 1833,—0n the motion of Sir William Heygate, Bart., and seconded by William Taylor Copeland, Esq., Alderman, it is hereby agreed that a vote of thanks to Joseph Ady, an inha bitant of this city upwards of 50 years, is due for his extraor_ dinary exertions, both for discovering unclaimed property, and also of many of the owners thereof, and from the evidence of the Attorney of W. T. Copeland, and three other gentlemen, who is so far his friend as to offer 1,000/. on his integrity. We, unanimously deeming him worthy of our patronage, hereby, without solicitation on his part, or even his knowledge, consti tute ourselves his referees nein. con. By the Court, WOODTILORPZ. _ ColonelCawthorn please to remit rne2Osliillings; twill inform you of 711.105. due to you.—Respectfully, JOSEPH ADY. 11, Circus, Minories, May 10, 1823. The reading of this mock resolution, which is a parody upon the resolution passed in the Court of Alderman on the 7th of May last, caused a great deal oflaughter. His Lordship sent Mr. Brown, the Marshal, for Ady, re quiring his presence at the Justice-room, but Aey refused to attend. He, however, told the Mars Eal, that he should communicate with his friend, the Lord Mayor, by letter. Soon afterwards the Lord Mayor received a letter by the twopenny-post, of which the following is a copy My Lord Mayor—lt is not quite to my mind to come to Mr. Hobler's room, and to confess to a letter, &c. If your Lordship will favour me with a call any day between six and six, I will show you books convincing I deal in reali ties, or I will wait upon you in a private room to your ap pointment (otherwise than my dinner hour, one o'clock). That proclamation of May 7th is daily rung in my ears by friends, as well as others, calling me a liar upon exparte evi dence, and is universally allowed to be stabbing in the dark. Keep me out of Hobler's company—there's mischief about that man. I will make a treaty—l will excuse both stabs on your promising me three presentations to Christ's Hospital for my three nephews—one is old enough now. I think, as you value punishing Coster and silencing me so highly, I let you off very cheap—Respectfully, JOSEPH A DY. 15th August, 1833. As Alderman Copland's franks have been frequently monopolised by Mr. Ally's concerns, that Hon. Member, c , tnsidering it his duty to disabuse the minds of those to whom Ady addresses such communications as those re ferred to, came yesterday to the police-room, to request that the Lord Mayor would cause to be advertised in all the newspapers, the resolution to which the Court of Alderman had come on the ith of May. He was accom panted by a friend who had just received one of Mr. At4's promises of advantage, and references to the two above named Alderman, whom Ady endeavours to pass off as his regular and determined patrons. The worthy Alder man complained bitterly of the hardship of being the victim of such an impostor. The LORD MAYOR said that it might be desirable to have Ady present to answer to the charge, and he should therefore, again send for that person. Mr. Brown, the Marshal, again called upon Ady, but Ady would not budge an inch. He had no wish at all to have any thing to say or do with Mr. Hobler, who was so much in the habit of looking at bad characters, that he could not relish a good one.—(There was much laughter at this complimentary allusion to himself.) Ady added that he was determined to stand upon his rights. He did not like to be rude, and would wish the Lord Mayor to give him a call, and talk to him in private, but he bad no taste for the newspapers, or fur Mr. Hobler and should never go in their way again. The following was then ordered to be extensively ad vertised, pro bono publico : " CAUTION—LAURIE, Mayor. John Daniel, a young man of determined aspect, was i.' , areed with having brutally assaulted his mother, Susan Daniel. Prosecutrix stated that the prisoner, who resided ,vitb her, was in the constant habit of ill-treating her. About ten o'clock on Monday night, hearing that he was at a neighbouring beersbop, she sent her youngest sun to re quest him to come, who shortly after returned crying, and saying that his brother had struck him ; which words he had hardly uttered before the prisoner came in, and was going again to strike the boy, but she (prosecutrix) got before him and prevented him, when the prisoner struck her a tremendous blow on the face, which felled her to the groundond whilst in that state kicked her severely on dif.. fereut parts of her body. She screamed nut " Murder," when some persons in the house came to her assistance, and the prisoner was secured and given into custody. It appearing in evidence that the prosecutrix had re ceived such internal injuries as were likely prove fatal, tl.c prisoner, who admitted the fact, but expressed no contri tion, was remanded for further examination on Tuesday next. " At a Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen held in the inner Chamber of the Guildhall, of the city of London, on Tuesday the 7th day of May, 1833, and in the 3d year of the reign of William IV. of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire. land, King, &c. " Whereas it hath been represented to this Court that a person calling himself Joseph Ady, hath for some time past been in the practice of sending letters to various persons in all parts of the kingdom, stating himself to be in possession of in. formation for their pecuniary advantage, and to afford the same on payment to him of 20 shillings, and in some instances of five shillings, and referring falsely in such letters for his character, integrity, and responsibility to Sir William Heygate, Bart., William Taylor Copeland, Esq., and other members of the Court of Aldermen, and to Mr. Francis Nobler, the Chief Clerk at the Mansion-house, without having any authority for such references; and also falsely adding to some of the said letters that the said William Taylor Copeland, Esq., would be security for him to the amount of 1,0001.; this Court do hereby caution the public against paying any attention to such refer ences. relative either to the character, integrity, or responsi bility of the said Joseph Ady, WOODTH ROPE." EXTENSIVE PLUNDER OF TEA.—•SiOAe and Collins, the two persons who stand charged with having receive; a large quantity of tea from the clerk of Mr. Nicholson, were brought up for final examination. Lucy Taylor, wife of George Taylor, No. 208, High. street, Borough, grocer and tea-dealer, had known Stone three or four yens by sight. A chest of tea bad been brought to the house on Thursday by Sealey. It was permitted to Mr. Taylor. Witness said it was not for that house, and refused to receive it. She asked Sealey from whom he brought it, and be replied from Mr. Nicholson. He then took it away. In about a quarter of an hour Stone called, and asked her whether she had received a chest of tea. She said she had not received it, but had sent it away, and Stone went away imme diately down the Borough in the direction in which Sealey went. She saw Stone next day, who said to her, " I permitted that chest in your name, and I've sold it to another party. Will you give me a permit for it?" Wit ness asked him was it all right, to which he replied in the affirtnative, and exhibited the blue permit. She, sup posing that she was not doing wrong, and seeing the East India Company's permit, gave permission to Stone. The LORD MAYOR—Why did_ you refuse to take the chest of tea ? Was it because you thought it was wrong ? Witness—Not at all. It was because . I did not want it. I bad not the must distant idea that there was anything wrong at all in any part of the transaction. Mr. Hobler, jun.—Was Mr. Nicholson's name men tioned by Stone ? Witness said it was. - When she gave Stone leave to draw the permit he men'ioned that the tea was to be sold for Mr. Nicholson. Witness asked how Mr. Nicholso❑ could snake such a sacrifice? To which he replied that Mr. Nicholson wanted the cash. Mr. Clarkson—Pray are you in the habit of buying smuggled tea ? Witness—Not at all. Mr. Clarkson said it would be necessary to look after the young gentleman who had made the voluntary con fession. Collins was then admitted to bail ; but The LORD MAYOR addressed Stone in the following manner :—" I should wish to keep my word given to you yesterday, by admitting you to bail; but the addi tional evidence I have received is of such a nature that 1 thought it necessary to ask the opinion of the City Solicitor, and he thinks as I certainly do myself think, that it is my duty to commit you to Newgate for trial; and you therefore stand committed." Stone, in great agitation declared before God that the circumstances were not truly represented to the Lord Mayor. He (Stone) was not a purchaser at all ; he wa , merely the agent for Mr. Collins, and he had only a trifling agency from that person. The LORD MAYOK—You must reserve that for you! defence. You now stand committed for trial. BOW STREET. MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—A Swiss woman, of artless demeanour, who stated her name to he Louis,: Wurchet, was yesterday conducted before Sir F. A. Rot: by a Mr. Squire, a grocer, living at No. 55, Colem .ti street, City, to ask his advice under circumstances of rather a peculiar nature. The woman, about three weeks back, saw an advertise ment in a newspaper for a nurstry governess and lady) , maid to a family in the country, and directions ware given to apply t "A. 8., at No. 115, Newgate street " She made application at the place appointed, and was • informed that the name of the advertiser was Mrs. For- HATTON-GARDEN. Sarah Shorter, charged with having administered a quantity of laudanum to the infant child of Mr. Richard Parry, of Cannonbury-street, Islington, was again brought up for examination. - Mr. Parry stated that the child was quite out of danger, and, hoping that the punishment which the prisoner hail already received would operate as a caution upon her future conduct, he would decline a further prosecution. Mr. Sergeant SELLON said there was some difficulty in the case, and he could not believe that she gave the poison with intent to do harm. Without such proof the misde meanour would fail. The prisoner was then placed at the bar, and after au appropriate admonition was discharged. THAMES POLICE. A " DISAGREEABLE PARTNER."--A middle-aged haldhead man, with a most woful countenance, applied to the MAGISTRATE for a warrant against his wife, whu, he said, had broken his head and his peace of mind, and was tormenting him out of his life. " Please your Worship," said the applicant, it's the misfortune of my life to have a disagreeable partner, whei abusingdoe anythingan d b eat i ng t n u g t m m e a , k c a m d s e a y h s a bit con stantly ot: peace in this world."

ItlAGlsraaTE—Weil; what has she done to you plicant—Please your Worship, I am a man who has to be out a great deal on business, and when I comes home I generally finds her inebriated, your Worship, with a novel and a gin•bottle before her, and if I says, " Julia. my dear, go to bed," she gets up and beats me with a stick, and says no husband shall rule over her. On Sunday morn ing, your Worship, she threw a cup of tea in my face, be cause I said it wasn't sweet enough ; and she said if I stayed at home all day she would torment my life out, so to please her, I went out all day, and when I came home she beat me with my son's cricket-bat, just four feet long, four inches wide, and two inches thick. But why do you bear all this so patiently ?—Oh, dear, your Wur , hip, she would murder me if I offered to touch her. Do you know, Sir, that one night she made me sleep on the floor because I offended her, and broke my head with a broom haudie, five feet long and four inches round in thickness. Look at the swelling.—Here he dis played a large lump on his cranium. Alagistrate—Very well, take your warrant. Applicant.—She only allows me clean linen once 4 week ; she is the bane of my existence. Magistrate—Take your warrant. Applicant—l cannot live with her; it is impossible, Sir. Magistrate—Take your warrant. The applicant was about to detail some more grievances, when the door opened, and a female applicant entered..- " Oh dear !" exclaimed the injured husband, who retreated to the other end of the office, evidently much alarmed.
