It will be recollected that some days ago Mr. Mayow, the solicitor to the Excise, applied for an information against Mr. Richard Heale,jun., and Mr. Richard Hcale, sen., of - Mincing-lane, having pre viously canned a seizure to be made on their premises of a very large quantity of dried leaves, which the Board considered to have been prepared in imitation of tea, and for the purpose of being mixed with tea. The LORD MAYOR, who advised some months ago that the Excise or the East India Company should keep an eye upon the manufactory, although a patent was gran'ed by his Majesty's Attorney- General for preparing " the British leaf," very rea dily undertook to investigate the case, which was supporred,on the part of the Excise, by Mr. Adolphus. Mr. Sergeant Bompas and Mr. Clnrles Phillips appeared for the defendants. Mr. Hobler (the Chief Clerk) read the informa tion, which contained four counts. The penalties sought for in this information amounted to 7001., but if the Excise sued for the whole of the penalties to which, in the event of conviction, the defendants would be liable, from the enormous quantity seized, the sum would reach to about 60,0001. The defendants pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Adolphus stated the case for the Crown. Mr. Sergeant Bompas objected to the notice re ceived by the defendant, that it did not specify the statute upon which the Excise intended to proceed. After some discussion the City Solicitor, who attended to advise the Lord Mayor, said that the objection mule by the Learned Counsel could not be entertained. Sergeant Bompas then proposed to the Solicitor of the Excise to transfer the case to the higher tri bunal. He pledged himself, as a lawyer, to drop all notion of technical points in favour of his clients. He represented that the defendants had a stock to the amount of some thousands involved in the decision, and that they would undertake pending the trial not to sell a pound of the beverage, so that if they were in error no evil could arise from removing the case into a higher court. He really could not think how a public Board could refuse, in common justice, to accede to such a proposition. Mr. Adolphus objected to such a course. The LORD MAYOR ccnsidered that the power to decide in cases of this kind was given to Magistrates for the protection of the public, upon whom serious injury might be inflicted by the delays necessarily arising from an application to the superior tribunals. He wished to hear the evidence, and if afterwards he thought it would be expedient to send the case before the Judges, he would do so. He considered that the public were deeply interested. Mr. Phillips argued strongly upon the necessity of removing the prosecution to the higher tribunals. The LORD MAYOR—WiII you agree to destroy all the stuff? Sergeant Bompas—lf the question is decided against us, we will. The LORD MAYOR—There will be no security in that, for the Excise will destroy it for you in that event. But the fact is, if you give up the whole of it you'll sustain no loss. _ Mr. Phillips—Your Lordship's prejudice con vinces us the more of the absolute necessity of going before a Jury. Mr. Adolphus then called Mr. Bird, a surveyor of the Excise, but Sergeant Bompas and Mr. Phil lips objected to his testimony, upon the ground that he was an interested witness. After a considerable discussion upon this point, the LORD MAYOR de cided that the objection was a valid one. Thomas Dean, a general surveyor of the Excise, deposed, that he accompanied Mr. Bird to Brent ford, on the 14th of last August, to the house of Joseph Dickons, a grocer, and found:a cask, contain ing 1371b5. of .vhat was called British leaf, in an un entered place in the back of the garden. Mr. Dickons produced the bill of parcels. Here the Lord Mayor looked over the bill, an act to which Sergeant Bompas objected. The LORD MAYOR—The bill of parcels can dome no harm. I wish you were not so much afraid of your case. Sergeant Bompas—Our fears are excited by the disposition of your Lordship to prejudge. The LORD MAYOR—Fears cannot exist where a cause is a just one. Go on with the evidence. Witness stated that on the 26th of August he went to Mr. Heale's house in Mincing-lane, in com pany with Mr. Bird. It was mentioned to Mr. Heale, senior, that Molland had sold tea (meaning the British leaf) to Dickons, and Mr. Heale declared that he knew nothing of Dickons. The bill of parcels was then produced, and Mr. Heale said he never sent out a bill of parcels; but Mr. Neale, junior, said that he had sent it. Upon which wit ness asked why he had done so, when the transaction appeared to have taken place between Molland and Dickens, and Mr. Heale, senior, replied, " I g i ve Dick (meaning his son) a turn now and then." The British leaf was sold at 2s. per pound to Dickons, according to the bill of parcels, and the statement of Mr. Heale, senior. 111r.Bird asked how a profit could arise when the article was sold at 2s. per pound to a second and a third party ? To which Mr. Heale replied, " You had better go to my solicitor." ;n Dickens' shop there was no appearance whatever of the leaf. It was kept in private, and Dickons mentioned how he had been instructed to mix it with tea by Molland. Witness was present when the great seizure was made at Mr. Heale's. The article was decidedly in imitation of tea. He here exhibited several samples. Some were in the coarse state, some in a less imperfect condition, and were called "caper teas," and others were in the finished stat e . Th e sta lk s o f the leaves _ _ had been broken down in a machine, and sifted ......„........ LONDON, THURSDAY EVbri.ING. SEPT.EMBER 26, 1833 away from the part intended for the infusion. If it were mixed with China tea, a common observer would not know the difference. The LORD MAYOR (after looking at the samples) —No; nor an uncommon observer. The imitation is as close as possible. It is quite enough to de ceive any body. Sergeant Bompas—Did you not say " We have not a leg to stand upon in the. Exchequer, and we must therefore go to the Lord Mayor ?" Witness —No; by the virtue of my oath, I said no such thing. Mr. Hawkins, a supervisor of Excise, deposed that he knew a tea-dealer at Eton, and that he found a bag at a public-house there, containing some of the British leaf, with the covers of Mr. Neale upon it, and directed to the tea-dealer. He seized it. Sergeant Bompas—There is no proof that it was ours. Mr. Adolphus—You recognize your mark, and the stuff is of the same quality as that we have exhibited. Mr. Phillips—Any one may put those papers upon anything. Mr. C. M. Snowden, the late mayor of 'Windsor, deposed that he was a grocer and tea-dealer. A package of imitation had been brought to him. A sample of the British leaf was then produced. What he had seen was like that sample, and with a mix ture of real tea it would pass for tea. Mr. Farrady looked at the samples. He had, at the East India House, examined two parcels of the British leaf, and they resembled these. They were very like tea, but he could not give an accurate opinion without a close examination. It appeared to him that the samples were in imitation of teas, and, if mixed with tea, they might deceive him. Sloe leaf was injurious, and differed materially from tea. He derived benefit from tea, but he had not tried whether he could derive benefit from the British leaf.—(Laughter.) Mr. Phillips—Are not many persons injuriously affected by China tea ? Witness—No doubt of it. To me its medicinal operation has proved serviceable. Mr. W. A. Hunt, inspector of teas for the East India Company, deposed, that the samples appeared to him to be the leaves of shrubs. Some of them were not an imitation of tea, others were an imita tion of the dust of Bohea. One quarter of a pound mixed with three-quarter, of Bohea would deceive anybody. Witness was 20 years in the habit of ex amining teas. The infusion of the British leaf was handed to the Lord Mayor in a cup. It was tasted by many in the room, and was no doubt exceedingly unpalat able. A cup of what was called pure Bohea was also produced, and that also had a most disagreeable flavour. Another witness, a tea-dealer, stated that he had cautioned the public against the British leaf. It bore a strong resemblance to tea, and might be mixed with common Bohea without being observed, but could not be mixed with fine tea. Mr. Adolphus said that this was his case. Mr. Sergeant Bompas argued against the possi bility of a conviction in such a case. No partner ship between the defendants had been proved, and there had been no identification of property ; neither was it stated in what parish the offence imputed was committed. The LORD MAYOR, after having consulted with the City Solicitor and Mr. Hobler, said that the objection was fatal to the information. He tnus quash the information, as the partnership was no proved. Sergeant Bompas—Then you pronounce us no guilty. The LORD MAYOR—I am obliged to quash the information. Mr. Adolphus--In manner and form the de fendants are not guilty ; but I have another appli cation to make. A warrant was issued for the seizure of certain leaves manufactured in imitation of tea, It has been seized, and I call upon your Lordship to proceed to judgment upon the article. We have it, and we want your Lordship's authority to destroy it. The LORD MAYOR—I'II adjourn that decision. In the meantime, no doubt, the Excise will keep the British leaf close. I cannot conscientiously order it to be given to the defendants. Sergeant Bompas then applied for costs, but the Lord Mayor rejected the application. G UILDIIALL. STREET-BEGGING. —DanieI Collins, a man in tie garb of a carpenter, and a notoriously old practitioner in the art of street-begging, was brought up, charged by a female of the name of Johnson with exercising his profession towards her in begging money. On her refusing to give him any thing, he used the most abusive language, and struck her violently on the head. Mr. Nangle, a professional gentleman, and George Green, the watchman of St. Bride's, stated that the pri soner was a constant annoyance in the neighbourhood of Fleet-street. Mr. Nangle had been repeatedly accosted for money hy him in the street, and when he refused, he received a volley of abuse. Sir Jourt KEY sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour in Bridewell. BO W-STREET. THE BEGGING-LETTER IMPOSTER.—john Wood, alias Underwood, who stands charged with a se ries of impositions on the nobility and gentry, by means of fabricated tales of distress, and who, from the extent and variety of his epistolary effusions, added to his enormous bulk, might be described as a folio edition of the " Complete Letter Writer," was yesterday brought before Sir F. ROE, for re, examination. Sir F. ROE said that the prisoner was charged with having obtained money by false and fraudulent pretences from the Marquis of Stafford, Lord Pal merston, Sir Herbert Taylor, arid others; and a subsequent case had come to light in which he had also initposed on Lord Skelmersdale. He should proceed with that case now, if Mr. Bodkin was prepared to go on with it. Mr. BODKIN was quite prepared with tbz• case of Lord Skelmersdale, and had evidence to prove that a letter written to his Lordship in the name of Mary Burn, together with a certificate which accompained it, were forged, and that the latter document was in the hand-writing of the prisoner. A sealed letter was here produced, addressed to " Mrs. Mary Burn, No. 2, Cross-street, Newington butts," and the Magistrate having ordered the seal to be broken, it was found to be from Lord Skel mersdale, enclosing half a sovereign, and acknow ledging the receipt of the following letter:--- " My Lord,--It is with most agonised mind and heart I presume to address these few lines to your Lordship's ! notice, whom I have had the honour of knowing by sight for a great an my years, and also your Lordship's seat (Latham House), at some small divance from which I lived with some late relations in the years 1797 and 1798. I am, however, a native of Preston, where I am descended from a respectable family named Grimshaw. My parents have been dead many years, and I am the widow of a late re spectable schoolmaster, who was proprietor of a b9arding school at Guildford, in this county, for a number of years, but who unhappily died of fever some five years ago, when I was left with four children under 11 years of age, and obliged to dispose of my premises for the purpose of set tling my husband's few debts, defraying his funeral expense, , , Sze. Since then, my Lord, I have kept a day school in the parish of St. George, Siuthwark, held although‘v the orth tostyiht acceptance; situation emolument n; governa rising ess o ufg a r htt, from t sw Shhivacnvhdi having Sc, scarcely scarcely pleased the Almighty to deprive toe of the use of my lower extremities by rheumatic gout during the last seven teen months, which period I have been wholly prevented from attending to the duties of my avocation, in conjoin tion with the great expense attending the support of my family, have been the means of reducing me from a com fortable station in life to that of extreme and heart-rending distress; inasmuch as being linable to pay my rent, my furniture has been distrained, and is now under the hands of my late landlord or his broker ; and I have been obliged to quit my late residence, to save myself from an arrest and incarceration for a small debt, incurred for the neces saries of life. lam become a great cripp'e, a melancholy spectacle; and but for the kindness of a friend, I and nay fatherless children would have been driven into the work house, or have become poor hotiseless wanderers. How ever; through God's blessing, and the aid of humanity, I have been enabled to pay one moiety of the rent for which my goods were seized, and I am allowed until the 24th instant to pay the rest, but am unable to do so, ex cept through the aid of charitable assistance. In addi tion to which, my Lord, I am sadly fear'ul, and under the apprehension that my present place of abode will be discovered, and that I shall he arrested, torn away from my dear children, and incarcerated for the small debt above alluded to, which is only 375. 6d., and which accumulated for bread only. I know not what to do, my Lord ; I am almost distracted, while my dear chil , dren, who are as innocent as lambs, during the last six weeks appear to me to be quite happy with bread, potatoes, or whatever I can give them, which is a great consolation to me. In reflecting this morning on my unhappy situa tion, considering to whom I should apply, it suggested to my mind, from some little knowledge of your Lordship's disposition, that your Lordship would, in all probability, be pleased to afford me some small pecuniary assistance towards helping me to surmount my difficulties, and for which I humbly appeal to your Lordship's goodness and generosity. I assure your Lordship that, whatever assis tance you may he pleased to render, I shall remember it with gratitude to the end of my life. I beg to subscribe myself; my Lord, your Lordship's most humble servant, "MARY BURN. "2, Cross-street, Newington butts, late of Garden row, St. George's, Southwark." This letter was written in a small and very ele gant female hand ; and it was accompanied by a cer tificate, of which the following is a copy : " These are to certify that I have known Mrs. Mary Burn, who is a naive of Lancashire, and the widow of the late Mr. John Burn, who was proprietor of a very respectable boarding-school at Guildford many years; that since his decease she has supported herself and her four children, with which she was left, in a very genteel and creditable manner, by keeping a day-school, and attending in the capacity of teacher or governess to the Sunday school of this parish, and that she is a woman of very sober and religious habits, but unhappily, through her having been unable to attend her scholastic duties for nearly a year and a half by an acute attack of the rheuma tic gout, she is reduced to a state of almost unparalleled distress, and I verily believe she is in every respect de. serving of charitable assistance. " J. MANSFIELD, Surgeon. " 11, London-road, Southwark, July 12, 1833." The copy of a supposed levy o 'distress accom panied these documents. Mr. BODKIN said that there was no such person as " J. Mansfield, surgeon," residing at the above address, and he should now call evidence to prove that the certificate was in the hand-writing of the prisoner. Richard Sutcliffe, a broker, residing at No. 9, Bedfordbury, proved that the prisoner lodged at his house about eight years ago. He had frequently seen him write, and, on his oath, believed that the certificate now produced was written by him. He believed that the prisoner was in the habit of writing in different hands, but had never himself seen him write but in that mode. Joseph Wetenhall, a hair-dresser, of No. 2, Cross street, Newington-butts, deposed that no person of the name of Burn resided in his house in August last, and, to the best of his belief, no person of that name had ever lived there. Witness knew prisoner merely in the way of business; and in August last, he called upon him to request he would take charge of any letter that might come directed either to Mr. or Mrs. Burn. Witness knew the prisoner by the name of Burn. Three letters came to his house, directed to Mrs. Burn, two of which he delivered to the prisoner himself, and a third to a stranger, who called for it in his name. A fourth letter, namely, the one now produced (written by Lord Skelmers dale), he was directed by the officers of the Mendi city Society to detain. Mr. Bodkin submitted that with the exception of th e attendance of Lord Skelmersdale, a case of fraud had been made out against the prisoner, who was proved to have written the certificate in the name of "J. Mansfield," and who had made the wit ness Wetenhall his innocent agent in the fraud. Mr. Hutnphreys admitted that a case for remand wa s made out, but said there was no proof yet that the certificate produced, which he took to be the gravamen of the charge, had ever been received by Lord Skehnersdale. Mr. Bodkin—His Lord , hip will attend in person to give evidence of that fact. Mr. Humphreys hoped that the prisoner would not be denied access to his friends in prison, and that the magistrate would erase from the back of the warrant the order of exclusion. Sir F. ROE, said that no act of his, as a Magis trate, should ever be effaced with his consent. If he had acted illegally in the matter he was liable to be corrected elsewhere. Mr. Humphreys—l know that. The Courts of Law are open to my client, but as Horne Tooke once said, " Westminster Hall is open to every one, and so is the London Tavern." My client is not in a condition to go to law. Sir F. ROE—As to that, although the observa tion may be extra-judicial, I am well aware that your client has plenty of money to bring me to Westminster Hall. Mr. Humphreys subsequently apologised to the Magistrate for the observation he had used. The prisoner was then remanded until Wednes day next, when he will be brought to Union-Hall, and examined before Sir F. ROE, on the charge of obtaining money from Sir Herbert Taylor. There are several other charges of fraud against the prisoner, in which the attendance of the Mar quis of Stafford, Earl Spencer, Lord Palmerston, and others, will be requisite. HATT ON- GARDEN. Hiram Holmes, who has been several times ex amined on a charge of bigamy, in marrying a young lady named Slee, his former wife being alive, was again brought up yesterday, when, the necessary evidence being produced, he was fully committed. UNION -HALL. SINGULAR CASE.—On Tuesday two well-dressed young men were charged with refusing to pay for the hire of a cabriolet, in which they had been riding about in the vicinity of town for nine hours. Some curious circumstances were brought to light in the course of the examination respecting one of the de fendants. James Elderton, the cab-driver, was hired by the defendants on the preceding day at the Marsh -gate, arid at their desire he drove them to the King's Bench Prison, from thence to Fendall-street, Ber mondsey, and from thence to Greenwich, and back again to town, arid continued driving them about in this manner for upwards of nine hours. At the ex piration of this time he applied for his fare ; but in stead of paying him, one of the defendants, who called himself Capt a i n F oster, b orrowe d a half-crown piece from him at the door of a public-house, saying that he should pay for the fare and all when he arrived at his lodging in Fendall-street. The cabman waa then ordered to drive them to the above address, but finding little prospect of being paid for his day's work, both the defendants declaring their inability to settle the demand, instead of setting them down at their lodgings he set them down at the station-house. Inspector Brown, of the M division, stated that ( PRICE ID.) about five weeks ago one of the defendants, who, on that occasion, represented himself to be Captain Palmer, was brought to the station-house by a cab man, for refusing to nay the fare; and having no money he gave up his hat to the driver, and walked home with a handkerchief round his head. The defendant to whom the inspector alluded said that he was mistaken in the person ; that he never assumed the name of Captain Palmer, his name being plain John Brown, commander of a large merchant vessel. Here a coach proprietor, named George Bevis, stepped forward, and said that on Sunday the de fendant ordered one of his coaches off the stand to a house in the Dover-road, saying that he wanted it for the purpose of taking his luggage to Blackwall. The coach was sent accordingly ; but, after waiting for an hour and a half at the door, it was ascer tained that the defendant had absconded, leaving the lodging in debt. Defendant (laughing)—l can assure you that you are mistaken in the identity, for I am not the person you mean. A respectable woman, residing in the Dover-road, stated that on Wednesday last the defendant en gaged to board and lodge at her house, saying that his name was Captain Foster, that he had just ar rived from the West Indies, that his ship had suffered much damage in the late hurricane in the chops of the Channel, and that she was then lying in the West India Docks undergoing repairs. This was considered a sufficient introduction. He had break fast, dinner, and supper, and then went to bed The next morning he had breakfast again, and bor rowed a half-crown, saying that he had no change, and that he wanted it to pay his coach hire to the Docks. He then went away, and she had not seen him since until that day. She was confident the defendant was the man. Defendant—You are quite mistaken, ma'am, I can assure you. I never had a meal at your expense in the whole course of my existence. Mr. Fitch, the vestry clerk of St. George's pa rish, who happened to be in attendance at the Office on other business, related an extraordinary circum stance which occurred some time ago in the vestry room. He said that on the occasion to which he alluded a young man presented himself, dressed in sailor's garb, and, addressing himself to those pre sent, said," Gentlemen, I dare say that I may be unknown to you all now, but I was brcught up in your workhouse, and by your bounty sent to sea. I have now returned, thank God, and have come here to thank you all, and to express my gratitude for the interest you have taken in my welfare." The gentlemen were so much pleased with the grati tude evinced by the young man on the occasion, believing him to be the person that he represented himself, that one and all, in their wish to encourage such a feeling, instinctively placed their hands in their pockets ; upon seeing which their visiter ex claimed, " Gentlemen, don't think or imagine that I have come here in the expectation of getting money from you ; no, no, far from it ; my only mo tive for calling being that which I at first men at i m o n indebted namely, eb tedto youto express y m y benefactors, heartfelt hf o a rn k ms ,a k a i sn gl a man of me." The vestrymen, however, could not resist the temptation of awarding some pecuniary consideration to a person who had exhibited such an example of thankfulness for what he had received at the hands of the parish. Each of the gentlemen then gave the " sailor" some money, and he went away imploring benedictions upon them. Some days afterwards it was discovered that the " grateful sailor" was a regular imposter. Mr. Fitch was present on the occasion, and although the dress of the defendant was different from that in which the person appeared at the vestry-room, yet he was con vinced that he was the man. Defendant—Lord bless you, the thing is impos sible; the inspector is wrong, the coach-proprietor is wrong; the boarding-house lady is wrong, the cab man is wrong ; in fact, you are all wrong together. Mr. MURRAY had looked attentively at the de fendant, and knew his features again. He recol lected his having been brought up to that office about five weeks ago for committing damage on a coach, and also refusing to pay the fare. Defendant—You r Worship, I can assure you that you are wrong, as well as the rest of them. Upon the occasion that the defendant had been previously brought to this office a penalty was in flicted on him, arid in default of payment he stood committed to the House of Correction. Before, however, he was sent to gaol he pretended to be suddenly attacked with cholera, arid carried on the deception with such skill as to render it necessary to send him as a cholera patient to the workhouse. In the middle of the night, however, he contrived to get out of the ward by jumping out of the wit,- dow,and poor Jarvey was regularly bilked of his fare. The defendant said that he should send for his owners to prove who and what he was, lie, how ever, evinced no disposition to send for his owners, and while the Magistrates were engaged in sum ming up the amount of damage, &c., another cab man presented himself, and stated that the defend- _.....5. ant hired his cab a f ew d a y s ago , an d also bilked him of his fare. The other defendant, who gave his name Wood, said that his acquaintance with the "Captain" was limited. He (Mr. Wood) had been invited on the excursion in the cab, and made no arrangement with the driver; he therefore contended that he could not be held responsible. The " Captain" was committed to Brixton for the space of six weeks; the other defendant was discharged, and cautioned as to whom he associated with in future. . „ INFANTINE A forei gn lady, a Madame Bianca Milesi, a very short time since, while on a visit to this country, took her son, a child of about four or five years of age, to see the Thames Tunnel. The lady, who is well known among the literary and scientific men of her own country as a woman of very superior and well cultivated mind,explained to her eon the difficulties that had been encountered in the progress of the work, and the dangers that had more than once threatened the workmen. The child on hearing this, appeared to be lost in considera tion for a few moments, at the end of whi , ..h he exclaimed, " Mamma, why did they not make the tunnel befuie they made the river, and then these accidents could not have happened !" Monday se'nnight a child was dreadfully mangled by a weazle, near Mount Prospect. It appears, that, for some time previous, several hens and ducks were missing, and the child remained in the yard on the avove day to ascertain the cause. In a short time the weazle entered and attacked some of the ducks, and, on the child endeavouring to save them, the weaz'e leaped on his throat and dreadfully mangled him. The boy was taken to the Dispensary of this town, where he is doing well.—Bally shunnon Herald. The melancholy information brought from Columbia of the barbarous murder of Colonel Woodbine, his wife, and son, has occasioned a strong excitement in the City. The Colonel lived on a small property in the vicinity of Carthagena, and, as is stated, was, with his family, murdered by a baud of organised assassins for his adherence to Bolivar. The French Consul, Monsieur Adolfe Blrrotr, attended the funeral of the murdered fami ly, but was peremptorily ordered to retire, which he re fused to do, saying he was bound to pay the last duties to a subject of a Sovereign in amity with his own. Force was then used to compel the Consul to retire, and lie has declared that he will strike his flag unless an apology is made to him on behalf of his nation. Several persons have been arrested on suspicion of having participated in the crime, and the utmost exertions were being used to bring the delinquents to justice. (From Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday.) The Constitutionnel, after remarking that " Mi chaelmas day is the period fixed by all the legiti matist journals for the third restoration, as decreed by Divine Providence," affirms that the following litanies and prayers, printed at the printing-office of the Archbishop of Paris, have been prescribed by that prelate to be used throughout his diocese for 40 days, beginning on the 21st of August, and ending on September 29 : " Have mercy upon us, 0 Lord ! Hear us, O Christ ! " Holy I‘Lry, Queen of Angels and Protectress of France, pray for him ! " Holy St. Michael, invincible defender of the people of God, pray for him ! " Holy St. Denis, Apostle of France pray for him! " Holy Sr. Louis, his ancestor, pray for him ! " Holy St. Henry, his patron, pray for him! " Holy St. Genevieve, Patron of Paris, pray for him ! " From all sin, by thy holy Archangel St. Mi chael, deliver him, 0 Lord ! " From the secret snares of the devil, and from those of his enemies, by the holy Archangel St. Mi chael, deliver him, 0 Lord ! " Let him triumph and reign for thy gi i ;,-v and for the safety of his people, we beseech thee by !I'Y holy Archangel, 0 Lord ! " Let him walk in the ways of his progenitors by thy Holy Archangel, 0 Lord ! " PRAYER. " Glorious Prince of the Heavenly Host, blessed Archangel St. Michael, who has ever fought for the people of God, and who, having vanquished the dragon who seduced the world, precipitated him from his usurped throne into the infernal abyss, we entreat thee to display thy power once morel Suc cour this young King in the arduous contest he hos to sustain ; invest him with thy divine protection ; that he may ti iurnph over his enemies," &c. " Pater ave three times." The Quo.idiennc contains the following extract of a letter dated Florence, Sept. 11.—" The recep tion of the Duchess of Berry at Florence has been such as the mother of Henry V. had a right to ex pect. The Grand Duke, like the King of Naples, wished all his family to join him in receiving her Royal Highness in a suitable manner. A guard of honour, stationed at the palace of the Poggio Im periale long before the arrival of Madame, the in terior service entirely performed by persons of the Grand Duke's household, the frequent visits of the members of the family, the presentation of the ladies attached to the Grand Duchess, all concurred to render the hospitality worthy both of the Prince who offered it and of her who was the object of it. The Duchess has received many visits from French gentlemen who are at Florence. Among them were the Count de la Ferronnays and M de Mont bel, who had lately arrived from Vienna. Several foreign Ministers had the honour of being presented to her Royal Highness, including the Austrian Mi nister, in full uniform. Madame will set out in a few days for Prague. France will soon learn that Henry V., on again seeing his mother, has been hailed King by the most faithful and most noble of her defenders (the Viscount de Chateaubriancl)." The following, dated Naples, Sept. sth, is ex tracted from the Augsburg Gazette of the 20th : " The most contradictory reports are current re specting the journey of the Duchess of Berry. It is asserted that both the Austrian and the French Ambassadors had protested against it, and that positive orders have been given not to suffer her to pass the Roman frontiers. The Count de la Per ronnays, however, is gone to Prague, to prepare everything for her reception. In a few weeks the riddle will probably be solved. The Neapolitan army is about to be entirely organized upon the Prussian system. The guards will be disbanded, and a part of the soldiers, after the annual exercises, sent home on furlough, whereby the state will save an expense of half a million of ducats every year. Lady Strachan, who is expected here in a few days, has just bought the beautiful palace of the Princess Paterno. We are also expecting the Marquis of Hertford, who intends to stay some time at Naples, for the benefit of his health." The same paper contains the following, of the 10th inst., from Rome :—" After many fruitless efforts to remedy the pecuniary embarrassment of the Treasury, the Government has at last found it necessary to have recourse to a new loan of 3,000,000 of scudi. We are assured, upon good authority, that this loan has already been concluded with Baron de Rothschild at 82 per cent., which is much more advantageous than former loans. The Baron is expected at Rome very shortly from Naples, in order to settle the affair personally. An edict, lately issued by the Cardinal Camerlingo, having for its object the en couragement of industry and agriculture, promises patents of from five to fifteen years for new inven tions and improvements. Privileges of this kind, however, are of little use here. The opinion of Pius VII. is recollected on this occasion. When that Pope heard, in his prison at Savona, that Na poleon had granted 200,0001. to be distributed among such as distinguished themselves in handi craft and agriculture, he shrugged up his shoulders, and said that it was useful to encourage the arts and sciences, but that it was losing time to endea vour to ameliorate manufactories and agriculture, because the disposition of the inhabitants, their habits and opinions, and Even the el:mate opposed such attempts. This Pope knew his Romans thoroughly." Extract of a letter of the 19th instant, from Zu rich :—" The expenses for the occupation and in tervention occasioned by the Conference of Sarnen are not so great as was expected. The grant made for that purpose by the Diet, at the beginning of -August, is scarcely exhausted. The expenses up to this day amount to 143,000 f., without raking into account the expenses of preceding years, tip to the month of August. No decision has yet been formed by the Diet, on the question of who is to bear the expense. The majority think that all the cantons ought to contribute, because the breach of the public peace is to be ascribed to Basle and Liestall, as well as to the other cantons, in conse quence of their hesitation. In yesterday's sitting of the Diet, the deputy from Zurich proposed, ac cording to instructions from the Grand Council, to incorporate the canton of Neufchatel with the Con federation, so that it may become an integral part of it. It is intended to apply to the King of Prus sia, to obtain a change in the constitution of the canton. Letters from Berlin state that the deputies of the canton of Neufchatel will be recalled by a Cabinet order, in a few days. It is said that M. d'Olfers, the Prussian Envoy, left Baden yesterday, to proceed to Magdeburg." The following extract of a letter of the 13th instant, from Ancona, confirms the intelligence of a most disastrous fire at Constantinople, as mentioned in a letter of the 11th, which we gave yesterday, and adds some further particulars. The Augsburg Gazette also mentions a tremendous conflagration in the Turkish capital on the 30th ult.:—" The English steamer Meteor is still in this port. Yes terday General Wilford, not Woodford, as given in my last, and the Secretary of the English Embassy at Constantinople, Mr. Mandeville, both of whom came in the above-named vessel, went into the Lizsretto. The despatches they brought have not been forwarded, as they were enjoined to convey themselves to London, and in consequence of this they have sent an application to Rome for a dimi tthoentitmll time 1: runt? dimi nution the f ac t it broke out in the night of the 30th, and was e ; a rlsv,htehne, passengers hovte v er v% o . e f account t n e t r m o f of th e their terrible q uara fi n r t e i , n e. and ,fate Theyh ey stillthat side.
