FLANDERS PAPERS. ANTWERP, OCT. 29. —lt seems that the difficulties rela tive to the conveyance of the mail to England by the steam boat from Antwerp are not yet removed ; bu t there is reason to hope that an arrangement, which will be advantageous to our merchants, will be made.—Brussels Papers, Oct... 30. NAPLES, OCT. 12.—1 t is again rumoured that there will be a change of Ministry favourable to the liberals. General Florestan Pepe, brother of William Pepe, known in the revolution of 1820, is spoken of as Minister of War, and Count Camaldoli Ricciardi, Minister of the Interior ; Prince Filangieri de Santriano, or the Duke de Nuja, as ambassador at France ; Prince Babera, ambas sador at London, and Monsieur de Serra Capriola, as ambassador at the Court of Russia. Baron d'Haussez, ex-Minister of Charles X., resides here, and amuses himself by writing an account of his late tour through Holland and Germany. VIENNA, OCT. I9.—We have some news from Leoben, that the Duchess of Berry arrived there on the 14th, where she was expected by King Charles X., his family, and his children. The King intends to set out to-day on his return for Prague, but the Duchess will remain for the present at Leoben, till her future place of abode is fixed. Baroness Tatischeff, lady of the Russian Ambassador, is gone to Russia, as is supposed, upon a visit. Some, how ever, think that the Ambassador will soon follow and not return to Vienna, because the Emperor is said to have appointed him Governor of Warsaw, or, as others say, of Moscow. Count Orloff or Count Woronzow, will pro bably be his successor here. Public attention is now chiefly directed to the affairs o" Spain. On 'Change it is thought that a French inter vention is possible, hence the low price of our stocks. Allgemeine Zeitung, Oct. 25. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BRUSSRLS, OCT. 28. Actual Debt, 2% per Cent.

BUENOS AYRES AND BRAZIL PAPERS BCENOS AYRES, JULY 27.—We stated, in a former rnimb,r, that a revolutionary movement had taken place in the country districts of the province of Cordova, headed by the Commandant Castillo. It at first threatened serious consequences, the malcontents having mustered nearly SOO men. They have, however, been entirely put down by the forces under the command of the Governor of Cordova (Reinate). Several of the chiefs belonging to the revolu tionists were taken and shot. Among them was Com mandant Arredendo. There is no recent intelligence from the other provinces of the interior, with the exception of Santa Fe. A bul letin has been published from the Governor of that pro vince, Estanislan Lopez, dated the 10th inst., stating that with 200 Santafecinoes and 34 Abifones (Indians), he bad, on the 2d, succeeded in surprising a body of hostile In dians in their tolderius ; that be had killed 42 of their warriors, taken four prisoners, and that only one escaped ; besides which he had recaptured from them eight white women, and taken nearly 200 Indian women, of all age., the whole of their horses, two flocks of sheep, and a small quantity of stock cattle. From the report of the captives, the rest of the Indians had gone to the southward, under the command of their cacique Ambrosio, upon a ma rauding expedition. Governor Lopez further states, that having reconnoitred the country for a great distance in all directions, and not finding any Indians, he bad returned to his head-quarters. Butmos AYRES, Ana. s.—Don Victorio Gareca de Zuniga, Minister of Finance, and Dr. Manuel Vicente de Maza, Minister of Grace and Justice, acting ad interim as Minister of Foreign Affairs, have assuredly tendered their resignation. We are at a loss to account for the delusion under which our Governor labours— that he cannot see into the wicked designs of his two false friends, who, while they extol his virtues, patriotism, and services, traitorously aim blows at his reputation. Ana. 7.—The Governor has at length acceded to the reiterated solicitations of Senhors Zuniga and Maza, and accepted their resignations, as well as that of Senhor Gar rigos, Chief Officer of the Department of the Interior.— - BUENOS AYRES. Auc. 3.—An address has been pub lished from the Governor of the province of Santiago de Estero (Felippe Ibazra) to the inhabitants thereof, in viting them to join with the other provinces in the ope rations now going on against the hostile Indians : HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PROVINCE OF BUENOS AYRES. In the sitting of the 25th ult., Senhor Anchore pro posed a motion, which was referred to the Committee of Finance, viz., That the Government be requested to place before the House as soon as possible an estimate of the public expenses for the ensuing year of 1834.—Bri tisk Packet (of Buenos Ayres), Aug. 3. His Excellency has also called to his Councils Senhor D Manuel Garcia as Minister of Finance, and to hold ad interim the departments which are vacant. We highly applaud his choice, SenhorGarcia being distinguished for iris patriotism and talents, his extensive financial knowledge, and his long experience. He is also fully impressed with the importance of the expedition intrusted to the illus trious General Ilosas. A Ministry composed of such men would be everything that the country could desire. But we apprehend that, without Colleagues of the same prin ciples as his own, it will he impossible for him to do the good that the public has a right to expect from him, and we therefore fear that he will hesitate to join an Ad ministration, of which Senhor Martinez is a Member, well knowing that the continuance of that gentleman in office would be contrary to the wishes of the great majority of the province, and be the origin of incalculable evils. Aun. B.—We were not mistaken in supposing yester day that Dr. Garcia would refuse the office of Minister of Finance. I❑ a letter to the Governor, he declines the offer, observing that he has bef ire stated to his Excellency Lis opinion of the measures, which he thinks indispensable in the difficult situation in which the Government is placed. The Governor has, however, refused to accept the excuses of Senhor Garcia. _ _ _ His Excellency the Governor has appointed Don An tonio Martinez Fontee, Chief Officer of the Department of Finance, to sign the documents of the Department of the Interior till it is filled up. This decree is signed Hen riques Martinez.—Diario of Buenos Ayres, Aug. 8. Rio DE JANEIRO, AUG. 26.—The Regency, consider ing that it will be impossible, in the short interval to the 3d of September, to complete the law on the budget, and that which is to improve the circulating medium, has decreed, in the name of the Emperor, that the session shall be prolonged to the 20th of September. AUG. 27.—His Majesty the Emperor, accompanied by the Princesses and by the Regency, gave an audience on the 25th in due form to Mr. Henry S. Fox, who pre sented his en dentists as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from his Majesty the King of Great Bii tain to his Imperial Majesty. After the speech which Mr. Fox made in our language, and the reply of his Excel lency the President of the Regency, his Majesty, with his natural affability, and with a firmness that could not be expected at ltio early age, addressed to the British envoy some obliging expressions in the English language, in his apartment. AUGUST 28.—The Regency has sanctioned a plan for the fo.toation of a company of native and foreign mer chants for the purpose of estahlishizg communications by weans of steam boats with the ports of the north and south of the empire. AUGUST 29.—Official accounts from Marailham of ,Tune q, and from Ouro Preto of August 14, state that those places enjoyed perfect tranquillity. SEPTEMBER. 3 —A notice from the Regency to the Editors of the Correio Official informs them that it has been observed that in the non-official articles they do not adhere to that decorum in the language which was ex pected from them, and if they do not refrain from per ao.naltties and expr e s s ions which are contrary to the dig ityyof the G overnment , t h ey w ill b e d e prived of the per mission that has been given them to call their paper by that name, and to print at the top the Correio of the Empires—Correio Official, Sept. 3. A N Twznr, OCT. 28.—W e l earn t h a t t h e s t ea mboat plying between London and Antwerp will, henceforward, take the mails to England. BausstErs, OCT. 29.—During the absence of their Majesties, the care of the Prince Royal is confided to Major Capiatimont Colonel Wilm,rs, accompani e d by hi s aide de.eamp, set ou t last night for Z , ondhoven, where the negotiations are to be resumed for the reoflief th oe Meusef the garri son of Alaestricht, and the navigati by Belgian boats. with despatches from An English Cabinet M essen g er, Vienna, passed through Brus sels yesterday morning, on his way to London. - - STROUD.—Reform has done vvonclers for this borough. The town is materially improved in appearance, and is brilliantly lit with gas; two new assembly-rooms are building, one of them at a cost of 3,900/. ? which is to include a public library and Magis tratists,nrolo.

The Paris correspondent of the Times in a letter, dated the 28th inst., says— " The affairs of Spain have so wholly engrossed public attention for the last three weeks, that other still more important matters seem to be quite forgotten, and are quite unattended to. Meanwhile the absolute Sovereigns of Europe are conspiring in silence against the liberties of mankind, and one of these days some manifesto of theirs may come forth to take by surprise those who have ceased for a time to think of the dangers of a new crusade against liberty. It now appears quite certain—l can say so on authority on which the greatest reliance is to be placed—that the meeting of the Sovereigns at Munchen. gratz has given rise to deliberations on the means of put ting an absolute stop to the progress of liberalism beyond the countries ruled by free institutions, and that it has been agreed that when the evil so much dreaded by them has reached a certain extent, they are to risk everything— a war with the rest of Europe, and insurrection among their own subjects—in order to put it down. The preli minaries of a treaty for this purpose have already been signed between the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, Russia, and Prussia. It is stipulated that liberal institutions shall be tolerated only in France and Belgium (Holland is not honoured with the presumed enjoyment of any), and on no account, and by no means, are they to extend their influence beyond the frontiers of these two countries. Every means is to be employed in order to impede the circulation of French newspapers on the Continent, and great caution is to be observed as to the admission and stay of French and Englishmen on territories which may suffer from such a contamination. The treaty will pro bably be ratified and exchanged in the course of two or three months." We are not usually disposed to attach implicit credit to the statements of Paris correspondents and it is only when there are corroborative cir cumstances within our own knowledge that we pay much attention to them. In the present instance, however, we have not the slightest doubt of the correctness of the writer. It agrees with what has reached us from other sources ; it harmonizes, if we may apply such a term to ma terials of discord, with the entire policy of the Holy Alliance ; and it is confirmed by the pro fligate truckling of the French KING, who, alarmed lest he should incur the anger of the Munchengratz despots, by encouraging the spread of liberal ideas, exercises a constant vigilance over the refugees who, in more hospitable days, when the juste milieu Government had not stifled the principles of July, had obtained in France a temporary refuge from their persecutors. We are told by the correspondent of the Times that liberal institutions are not to be per- 'flitted to exist, except in Great Britain, France, and Belgium ; and that when an attempt shall be made to extend them, the Holy Alliance will, at any risk, attempt the construction of a barrier against the influx of liberalism. Are we to be grateful to these beneficent Sovereigns, who, when they put the world under their ban, make an exception in favour of the sixty millions of France, England, and Belgium ? Will not Lord PALMERSTON, and Louis PHILIP, and the King of BELGIUM send letters of thanks for their generous consideration ? Is it nothing to be permitted to enjoy our own laws—to eat our own bread untaxed, except by our own autho rities—to possess still the privilege of eating ourselves free-born Englishmen, and shall we not worship the moderation—the forbearance — the generosity of the Sovereigns who offer us safety for ourselves, provided we meddle not with the affairs of others? France, under the peaceful reign of a D'ORLEANs, is grateful— Belgium is the same ; why, then, should Eng land hesitate? True, indeed, there was a time when Englishmen did not receive, but dictated commands. There was a time when Russia, Austria, and Prussia felt grateful to us for not opening the floodgates of liberalism upon them ; but those tim es no longer exist. 'We are re quired to be grateful for favour, where we com manded obedience, :Ind to bow in thankfulness where we patronized by condescension. Seriously, however, we will ask whether such an arrangement as that which the Holy Alliance proposes is practicable in the i present g la nd preserve state Europe ? Can a country like El its own liberal institutions if liberalism is to be excluded from every part of the Continent (for let it be observed that France and Belgium must soon fall if the principle laid down by the Holy Alliance be acted upon)? Of what avail would be a Reformed Parliament in England—nay, how far would even the influence of public opinion prevail if the old Tory leaven could once again get into power, and with that most unconstitutional weapon of tyranny—a large standing army in a time of peace—again attempt the violation of our liberties, assured as they would be of the support in the hour of need of all the continental despots ? If it be necessary for Russia, Austria, and Prussia, with all the nations under their control, to unite for the maintenance of despotism, is it not equally necessary for Great Britain and France to attempt the extension of liberalism so as to form a counterpoise to the Holy Alliance, and pre• serve what is called the balance of power in Europe ? If the Emperor of RUSSIA has been per mitted to enlarge his possessions, and to extend his power, with the almost avowed purpose of one day becoming the dictator of Europe, may • we not endeavour to extend our own moral and . political influence, so as to prevent the coining of the day which would annihilate all free institutions ? If Austria, Russia, and Prussia, with the countries under their dominion, are to be in alliance for the maintenance of despot ism, may not France and England insist upon the establishment of a counterpoise, which would include Spain and Portugal, as well as Belgium ? And have not France and Eng land a direct interest in encouraging every effort which the Poles and the Italians may make to escape from their thraldom, so as to increase the force of the alliance into which they should enter for mutual preservation ? According to the compact between the Mun chengratz despots, even Portugal is not to be free—Spain, certainly, is to remain under the grasp of despotism. Is not this a declaration of war against free principles, in the two or three countries which are temporarily excluded from the ban of the three absolute Sovereigns, since, without such an alliance, it would be impossible for them to retain their own free institutions ? If the statement of the Times correspondent be true, the people of Great Britain and France will do well to insist upon a more honest and fearless course on the part of their Governments ; and, above all, upon such assistance being given to the liberal cause in Portugal, as must, by its moral influence over Spain, lead to a con stitutional change in that country. -A Morning Paper states that the Marquis of FUNCILAL has ceased to act as Ambassador from the Portuguese Regency to the British Court. This is a mistake. The Marquis still exercises the ambassadorial functions, but they are more honorary than responsible, and he receives no pecuniary remuneration from his Government. The real business of the embassy is carried on by the Chevalier DE LIMA, who acts as Minister Plenipotentiary. By a recent decision of the Portuguese Government, there is to be no fixed Ambassador here from Lisbon, such an appointment not being in accordance with the system of economy laid down by the Portu guese Minister of Finance, M. DE CARVALHO_ We understand that the report of Colonel HARE having been appointed Consul-General' at Lisbon is unfounded. There is some reason to fear that the objectionable appointment, to which we alluded a few days ago as being in contemplation, will be persevered in. The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this morning. They contain accounts from Madrid of the 22d inst., at which time it was known that the priest MERINOS had organized se veral bands of guerillas in the direction of Lerma and Aranda. Other Carlist move ments are mentioned, but they do not appear to have been of consequence. Near Rippoll, and at Talavera de la Regna, the Carlists had been attacked and defeated by the Government troops. Andalusia, Estrema. dura, Valencia, and Murcia remained tran quil ; and a telegraphic despatch was received in Paris on Monday, announcing that tran quillity prevailed in Barcelona on the 26th, and at Gerona on the 27th inst. Count D'OFALIA had been displaced from the Mi nistry of the Interior, and been appointed Se cretary of the Council of Government. His successor in the Ministry is M. BURGOS, of whose political sentiments we are ignorant. The private letters from Paris speak in a tone less assuring than the Journals. Intelligence reached that city on Tuesday, that C u EBILLAS, a former chief of guerillas against the French, and afterwards one of the leaders of the army of the Faith in 1822-23) had taken the field for Don CA ItLos. The Marquis of TORRE ALTA, lately appointed Member of the Junta of St. Sebastian by General CA STAGNON, and the Duke of GRENADA, a grandee, had joined the Car lists of Biscay. An engagement took place at Tolosa on the 22d inst., which terminated without advantage to either party. On the 23d inst., however, the attack was renewed by the Carlists, who were defeated. It was reported on the Paris Stock Exchange on Tuesday afternoon that an officer of the army of observation had arrived in Paris, bringing in telligence of an insurrection in the Asturias, but this report requires confirmation. It is stated that CHARLES X. returned to Prague on the 19th inst., after having had an interview with the Duchess de BERRI, in which she did not succeed in clearing up her character in the opi nion of the Ex-Sovereign.

The report of the Committee which sat last session on the House of Commons' offices and f ees n ow lies before us. It exposes a system of public plunder as rank as an y w hi c h gre w up under the long reign of T or y m i sru l e . Th ere is hardlynot anofficer connected w i t h t h e H ouse who hasi b ee n in the habit o f rece i v i ng unautho rized fees and gratuities to a large amount, all for what they ought to do i n t h e re gular course doing of their duty. The uniniti a t e d p a rt of the e public of be surprised to l earn , that by an unauthorized f ees , t h e wages of means ic these several of the doorkeepers and messengers of the House have actually been raised to nearly 1,0001. per annum. Let it not be supposed that any particular talent or qualification is ne cessary in the holders of these situations. The whole of their duties consists in opening doors and carrying the printed papers of the House, and before receiving their lucky appointment, ' they were valets or small shopkeepers. Different Members of the House have long complained of the extortions of these gentry ; but reluctance to oppose long established abuses, however gross, have hitherto restrained Members from corning forward to cleanse the offices of the House of Commons of the accumulated corrup tions which defile them. The Reform Act has broken the spell, and Mr. GUEST, the Member for the new borough of Merthyr Tidvil, by obtaining the appointment of the Committee of last session, has added another proof to the many already existing, of the benefits the public may expect from that activity which the boroughmongers so much lamented when they opposed the renovation of the Constitu tion. The Report of the Committee, how ever, although it goes a great way, does not, in our opinion, go far enough to satisfy the public. The sa'aries of most of the superior officers of the House of Commons are recom mended to be fixed at too high a scale, and we fear it is one which the Members of the House will not on that account be dis posed to reject. They are brought into daily contact with the parties, and it seems to be act ing unhandsomely to be sparing of salary when you have not to pay it from your own pocket. We will recapitulate some of the recommendations of the Committee. It appears that, previously to the passingof the 30th Geo. 111., the emoluments of the Speaker, excluding plate and outfit, did not exceed 3,0001. pet annum. By that Act a salary of 6,0001. was attached to the office of Speaker. Besides this salary, the Speaker has an official residence, and receives an al lowance for coals and candles, costing 5001. per annum. On every new election of a Speaker, it has been the practice to allow him 4,000 ounces of plate (or about 1,4001. in lieu of it), and 1,0001. by way of outfit, both being allowed as often as he may be re-elected ! As the chief officers of State receive only 5,0001. per annum, the Committee recommend that the salary of the Speaker should be reduced to that sum—that he should have no allowance for coals and candles, and no grant for plate, but that he should have an outfit of 1,0001., and an official residence, tax free. Instead of a service of plate being allowed each Speaker, it is recommended that 6,000/. should be laid out in plate which should belong to the public, each successive Speaker having the use of it. This is the principle adopted with respect to the plate of our Ambassadors. Formerly each Ambassador had a service given him, but now here is a service attached to the office. The Speaker's Secretary is recommended to be paid a salary of 5001., ,instead of being allowed, as now, to receive, in the shape of salary and fees, 9931. The recommendation of the Committee, with regard to the chaplain of the House, is that which has pleased us most. His duty consists in simply reading prayers at the sitting of the House, for discharging which laborious task he has hitherto been remunerated by the House, requesting his MAJESTY to bestow upon him some preferment in the Church, and after having said prayers at the table of the House for three half years, it has been usual to give him a prebendal stall at Windsor, Westminster, or Canterbury. The Committee consider this an improper practice, and recommend the pay ment of a salary of 2001. per annum. The Clerk of the House of Commons formerly received from one source or another 10,0001. a year, but late in the reign of GEORGE 111. a salary of 3,5001. was attached to it, as also an official residence worth 5001. per annum. The Com mittee propose to reduce this to 2,0001.; but we confess that we think that exactly double the sum it ought to be. The other Clerks of the House are recommended to be 'educed in a corresponding manner. The havoc made among messengers, doorkeepers, &c., is greater still ; gentlemen with 8001. or 900/ a year, being reduced to 3001. and 250/. The total saving which will be made in the House of Commons' offices, if the re commendations of the Committee be adopted, will be 18,459/. The proposed salaries are, in all cases, liberal, and in many are higher than the nature of the duties to be performed ren ders requisite, but we nevertheless shall be well content to adopt the proposed plan with all its faults.

The conception of this work is admirable, and, so far as it has yet proceeded, is worthily executed. Engravings from original paintings, by some of the greatest masters that ancient or modern art can boast, figure in the collection, and to these engravings brief explanatory notices, half-critical, half-biographical, are at tached, just sufficient to give the novice in matters of art a fair insight into the peculiar merits of each design. The en graving,, we should observe, are little more than outlines ; nevertheless, they convey a pretty accurate idea of the original ; and to those who have visited, or who have vet to visit, the National Gallery, will teem with interest. The price of this ingenious production is such as to render it accessible to all parties. Among the most carefully finished of the e ngravings, which are all executed on steel by approved artists, we may mention the Market Cart of Gainsnorough; the Road Scene, with shepherd and sheep, of Gaspar Pous,in ; and the two numbers of the Marriage a-la-mode of Hogarth. We are happy to perceive that the spirit of reform and economy is every where at work. At a meeting of the subscribers to Lloyds, which took place yesterday, the proposed allow ance of 500/. to the Committee was refused, and a resolution carried to the effect that the services of the Committee ought to be gratuitous. Car ried by a majority of seventy-two to thirty-nine. Who could the thirty-nine have been ? The cholera has reached Malaga, and great alarm prevailed. The mortality had been great at Seville, but its violence bad decreased. The mortality had less affected the lower clams than any other, in consequence of their using less vegetables in their lood. The middle classes had been the chief sufferers, and the town wore a very melancholy appearance. INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the Chief Coronahoiioner.) Several unopposed insolvents were declared entitled to the benefit of the Act, and ordered to be discharged. Robert Roper, who described himself as a chymist and druggist, was brought up on his petition to be discharged. The insolvent, who was unopposed, underwent a severe examination by the Learned Chief Commissioner, from which it appeared that, for a contempt of the Court of Chancery, he was incarcerated in the Fleet, and that five months previous to clearing that contempt, a creditor lodged a detainer against him, which compelled him to apply for his discharge from the Court. After several questions from the Learned Commissioner, as to the nature of the insolvent's contempt of the Court of Chancery, the following dialogue took place between the Court and the insolvent : The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—Who is Mr. Jacob from whom you state you borrowed 401. ? Insolvent—A fel low-prisoner with me in the Fleet. The CHIEF CommrssloNEß—Have you paid him that money ? Insolvent—l have. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—Why did you not give up your property and apply to this Court sooner for your dis charge? Insolvent—l did not know that I could do so. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER..-d do not believe it, Sir; I will not believe that any person who has been in the Fleet can be ignorant of the manner in which he ought to proceed. The law provides and invites every debtor to put himself immediately under the jurisdiction of this Court, in order that he may speedily regain his liberty; but it does not authorise him to adopt the course you appear to have pursued, namely, to sell part of your property, spend the proceeds, and remain in prison till that money has been melted away. Insolvent—That is not my case. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER Not your case, Sir ; pray, who gave directions to the auctioneer to sell part of your property ? Insolvent—l did. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—In what manner? In solvent—By letter. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—What did that property fetch ? Insolvent—Upwards of 137/. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—What have you done with the money ? Insolvent—lt's all gone. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—AII gone ! How have you got rid of it ? Insolvent—l did not receive it all ; there was the auctioneer's expenses, rent, and 401. I paid to Jacob; the re.t I have spent. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—Spent ! But if you had applied, as you ought to have done, to this Court at an r earlier period, that money would have gone for the benefit of your creditors. 'What induced you to give directions for the sale of part of your property? Insolvent—l bad no money, and a person could not starve. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—Your conduct has been anything but what it ought to have been. Had you ap plied to this Court at the proper period, and gave up your property, the Court would have taken care that you had a sufficient allowance to have kept you comfortable in prison. You must be sworn to your schedule, after which you shall hear my opinion of your conduct, Sir. In giving judgment, the CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, that the principle on which this Act was trained was that insolvents should be speedily discharged, but it required that they should act wiih justice to their creditors ; the insolvent had net done so in the present case, he had chosen not to become a petitioner till he had squandered the whole property of his creditors. Under such circum stances the Court, exercising the discretion vested in it by Act of Parliament, would order the insolvent to six months' imprisonment. PALACE COURT.-(THIS DAY.) BERRY V. GRAY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who was a flour-merchant, to recover 26/. 1 ls. 11d, from the de fendant, a baker, for flour supplied to him. Mr. Ross having stated the plaintiff's case, called several witnesses, from whose testimony it appeared that he had been in the habit of serving the defendant with flour. The defendant kept a ba ker's shop in Seven-dials, and had given the plaintiff a bill of exchange for 201., drawn on and accepted by a Mr. Smith, in part payment of the plaintiff's bill. That bill was dishonoured, and a compromise was made with the defendant's assent, between the plaintiff and Smith, the latter paying 41., leaving the defendant's liability on the bill to the amount of 16/. The balance of the plain tiff's claim was proved to be 26/. I Is. 11d. Mr. CAPRON for the defence said he should be able to prove that the defendant was not liable to the plaintiff, and that the shop in St. Andrew-street belonged to the defendants' two sons, who conducted the business, the defendant having a separate business of his own at Lambeth. He put it to the Jury on looking at the delivery tickets whether the word " Senr" was not evidently written at a different time and with a different ink, and with regard to the bill of exchange, the de• fendant was not liable, inasmuch as he had nu no , ice of its dishonour. Witnesses were called to establish the defence, but it failed, and the July, without troubling the Learned Judge to sum up the evidence, found a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) The Adjourned Sessions commenced this morning, before B. RoTctl, Eig., and a Bench of Magistrates. Ann Nathan was indicted for assaulting Lewis Jo sephs on the 14th Aug. The prosecutor applied to the Court to have the case postponed, on account of the absence of his witness, who was confined to his hed through illness. As he had no affidavit of the fact, The CkIAIRMAN ruled that the case should go on. Mr. Josephs then stated that the prisoner lived in adultery with his brother-in-law. He had had the misfortune to lose his wife by the cholera, and, ever since that time, whenever the prisoner met him, she grossly insulted him, calling " Murderer !" " There is the person who murdered his wife," and such like expressions. On the 14th of August, he was in Capel-street, where he had the misfortune to meet the prisoner, who instantly began her usual abuse, but that day she did not confine it to mere words ; she spit in his face, and told him that "she had not yet done with him, but would do the same to him whenever and wherever she met him." A person named Miers was with him, but he was unable to attend from illness. The prisoner put in a written defence, in which she stated that Joseph was a man who cared li:tle for an oath; that he sometime ago was obliged to escape in woman's clothes to America, because he was charged with for gery; and that, since he had returned, he had supported himself by practising frauds, which the pawnbrokers of the metropolis could testify. She begged the Court to look at the D;spatch of 2d June last, where they would see that she spoke the truth. It was in consequence of his supposing that she bad informed against him that be always abused her, and that on the day in question he said he wish-d he could wind her bowels about her neck. An Irishwoman proved, in a most rich brogue, that she was with the prisoner on the 14th of August, and pointed out Josephs to her. He owed witness 165., and Mrs. Nathan went to him and asked him for it. She did not not spit in his face. - The Jury instantly found the prisoner Not Guilty. Thomas Haysham, a spruce-looking young man, was then indicted for violently assaulting Sarah. his wife, on the 16th September. The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner was her hus band ; he was waiter at Green's Hotel, St. James's-street. He kept sw.iy from her, and was living with another woman. On the morning of Sunday, the Ibtb, she went, at five o'clock, to the Hotel, where she saw him coming out to go down St. James's-street. She asked him for some money to pay her t a x es w ith on th e M on day. She said to him, " I supp ose I h ave di s t ur b e d you this morn ing, but you may as we ll g i ve me t h e mo ney as give it to yor for ." him. He H e went aplitanckcatmo came out, Hotel, when butshe followed w still e d waited him, and said she would continue to do so till she got money from him. When they got to the bottom of St. James's -street, be turned round, and said, " If you follow me five minutes more, I will take and break your I-gs, and make such a figure of your face that you will not again be able to follow me for some time." She still went after him, and he then turned round and broke her umbrella, and gave her a blow on the face. She went to him again on the Monday morning for money, when he said he would come home and do to her all he had ever promised her—he did go home with a large stick in his hand, but she kept out of his way ; he waited fur nearly four hours, when he saw her in the yard, be came down and dragged her up stairs to their own room, where he bad the window fastened down ; he then locked the door, and struck her often with his fists ; after he had knocked her down, he took the stick and struck her so severely over the thighs and legs that she was under the hands of a doctor for a fortnight. He said unless she would go on her bended knees and ask h pardon he would certainly murder her. She was a widow when be married her, and was possessed of a good lease. It was because she would not administer that he began at first to ill-use her, Mary Plant and Elizabeth Lightfoot deposed to seeing the prisoner with the stick, and searing the cries o murder from Aid Trayebam: Theq bed often beard fel ill language from both parties, but never saw th e prosecutrix spit in the prisoner's face. The prisoner said in his defence, that they had at his wife's request, a year and a half ago. Ile 1 , got into several good situations ; but, as she was Al"' t annoying him, he lost them. She had also declared th; she would get him out of that he was in at proPnt. the day in question he went home to settle the taxes, when she insulted him, and spit in his face. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty ; and the man, after commenting on the enormity of the offe ec o e i• sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned in the 1 1 " ° ty - , Correction for six months, and then to fi nd security' himself in 401., and two sureties in 201. each, to ''' e " partecili the peace for twelve months. hy the BILL STEALING.—Mr. ADOLPHUS said he saw - ', 0 ,1y newspapers that John Minter Hart was now in cu a d As there were many witnesses who would have to a t ". — ri c from all parts of the country, it would be very conve nje if the Court would appoint a specific day for the trii ) * d The CHAIRMAN consulted his brother Migistrater 813 fixed that it should be taken on Tuseday, December S' THE KING ON THE PROSECUTION OF F.
