. PUBLIC DINNER OF MR. HUME'S COM- MITTEE, IN ST. LUKE'S PARISH. On Wednes.lay the Local Committee of the P srish of St. Luke, together with those gentlemen who during the late contest in Middlesex took an active part in promoting the re-election of Mr. Hume, met to celebrate his trium phant return by a Dinner, which waa given at the Prince of Wales Tavern, Banner-street. Shortly after five o'clock, the hour appointed, the party assembled when Mr. Hume was unanimously requested to take the Chair, which he did, and the company, consisting of flirty gentlemen, sat down to table. After the cloth was removed, The CHAIRMAN rose, and gave the usual toass : " The King," " The Queen," " The Duke of Sussex, and the rest of the Royal Family," "Earl Grey and his Majesty's Ministers, and may they complete the work they eve begun."—Drank with the usual honours. WILLIAM HANLEY, Esq., then rose, and proposed " The Health of their Honourable Chairman and Worthy Representative in Parliament, Joseph Hume, Esq."— Drank with applause, accompanied with loud cheers, which continued for a considerable time. When the acclamation bad in some degree subsided, Mr. HUME rose, amid renewed cheers. He returned them his most heartfelt thanks for the kind, the enthusiastic manner in which his name had been received. He took i as an earnest that his humble efforts had met their ap probation, and these efforts he should never relax until the last existing abuse was rooted out, or until he should be no longer able to assist in the good work.—(Cheers.) The Reform Bill was the means by which he trusted these abuses would be finally destroyed ; but as it stood, that measure was miserably defective. It had not sufficiently extended the franchise, which should at least be open to every man who rented a house, and contributed by taxa tion to the support of the Government. The extension of the suffrage would, however, be a dangerous gift to a poor man, unless accompanied with a boon to secure him the unmolested exercise of that privilege, and therefore the vote by ballot was absolutely necessary.—(Cries of " Hear," and cheers.) The duration of Parliament ought also forthwith to be shortened. He had always held it as a maxim, that short reckonings were best to the keep ing of correct accounts ; and if he might he allowed to apply that principle in the present case, he would sly that the most efficient mode of making Members of Par liament faithful in discharging their duty, would be to call them often to an account before their constituents ; or, he would rather siy, to give to the constituents the power re demanding a frequent account of their stewardships.— (Loud cheers.) After adverting to the present corrupt state of what were called the Courts of Justice or Law, and pointing out the necessity of simplifying and defining the Statutes, so as to be understood by those h whose oh sei vance they claimed, be proceeded to state that without reforming our finances, both as regarded the collection and distribution of taxes and the public revenue, we were labouring in vain for Financial Reform ; i e had long con tended, and though during the last session of Parliament he bad not pressed the question, as under other circum stances he would have felt himself in duty bound to do, yet it was well known that his tacit acquiescence was, lest he might put any obstacle in the way of his Majesty's Go. vernment, when engaged in defence of the people in car rying the Reform Bill.—(Loud cheers.) He had no wish to embarrass them whilst doing a great good, and there. f iie had suffered many grants to pass without observation, which otherwise he should have severely commented upon. At the close of the last war in 1816, there were in the Britsh army not less than 5,500 officers, from the rank of lieutenant upwards, and strange to say, after seventeen years of peace, thut number was not lessened.—(Hear.) In 1817, out of all these, not more than eight hundred were employed in active real service, and yet promotions went on, and were going on to this day, as if the war was being carried on this very hour. It was impossible to take up a Gazette, without meeting with along list of pro motions in the army. And who were those that were thus ptomoted? Were they those Gallant Officers who bail signalized themselves in the service of their country, and wl o were still able and willing to assist in her defence? --(Hear, hear.) lie could assure them the contrary was the fact.—(Shame.) The younger sons of the aristocracy were now put in the command of troops bef re they had passed the age of puberty, and raised from step to step, till they were advanced over the heads of the most meri t. torious of our veteran officers. This, too, was going' steadily forward, whilst we had plenty of experi need officers, either idle, or pining away in indigence, who would save us all this useless expense. The aristocracy by this means contrived to quarter every brunch of their families on the public purse, for every promotion either led to a place or a pension.—(Shame, and loud cries tif " Hear.") The next topic to which he would call the at tention of the meetine, was the freeing the country from the onerous and rni,chievous abuses of the Church Esta blishment. Everywhere there was an unanimity of feeling on this subject. From whatever quarter informatiou reached him, the cry for a Reform in the Church was the same. The Church might now 'singe herself; hut if the opportunity was lest, he feared the time was not tar distant, and he was cet taints( its approach and srrival, when a Reform so sweeping as to wipe away every trace of a national establishment would be the consequence. This, the best friends of their country and their God might lave reason to lament, from the evils with which possibly it would be accompanied. One thing was certain, the carrying the Reform then into effect would fall into hands having little regard to what she called her vested rights, In preol - of this, he would entreat them to look to Ireland, now at open war with the Established Church. And whi.t had oecasiontd th .t ? Why, the want of an arnica bie disposition on the part of the clergy themselves. In 1819, when he had brought forward his motion for Re form ill the Irish Ecclesiastical Establishment, the Ca:be lies would have been satisfied to commute the tithes, but the clergy would listen to no accommodation. They would listen to no terms; and the consequence, as he then foretold, is now, that the tithes are virtually abo lished from one end of the island to the other; nor will anything short of their utter extinction ever satisfy the people.—(Hear.) From what was now pasting in ha lo-id, the clergy of England might learn an useful lesson: and he hoped they would have the wisdom so to do.— (Hear.) In short, there was no direction to which lie could point, in which the must extensive measures of Re form were not required, whether in the law, the airily, or the Church, or, indeed, any other public department. The present Alinisters were pledged to correct several of these abuses, and the time was at hand when their pledges would be put to time test. He should he sorry (to use a sea phrase) to part company with the Whigs; but unless they took early and proper steps to afford that redress of grievances to the country which they had so long pro mised, he would be under the necessity of giving them hie most strenuous and unabated opposition, and steering a course for himself, in whisk, he had no doubt, he should not sail alone. Alter a long and brilliant speech, em bracing a great variety of other topics, some of them purely local, or confined to ohs .rvations on the kindness of the tCiimmittee, Mr. Hume concluded amidst deafening bursts pf 4iiplanie by proposing " The health of the 3,238 In • tit pendriat Electors who had placed him at the top of the poll." Drank with three times three. The Vtcx-CHAIRaIAN returned thanks in a very neat speech. Mr. HANLEY . then rose, and proposed " The health of Mr Ke it, and tee Local Committee of Sr. Luke's." Mr. KEAT returned thanks in a manly, clever speech. He begged to assure the company, that any assistance it bad been in his power to render Mr. Hume in 5 , curing his election, Was grounded on principle alone. Of Mr. Hume, he had Litt e knowledge, and was not even soli irised to interest himself in his favour. But he paid too muds attention to the conduct of Mr. Hume in Podia anew, out to know that he was the only roan hest fitted to watch over the interests of the inhabitants of Middle sex. He; therefore, only did what he knew to be his duty. Ater some other remarks on the expediency of establishing a permanent Committee to be able to act with vigour, were another contest soon to take place in the county, Mr. Keat sat d nun amidst loud cheers. Mr. RICHMOND proposed " A safe and speedy Reform in the Church," which he prefaced with a speech of great length, proving the necessity of putting the question for ever at rest, by leaving the clergy to be supported by the public opinion of their merits resting on their services alone. His remarks were generally just, amid the toast was drank with hind cheers. Mr. WAKLRY ro-e, and proposed Civil and Religious Liberty all over the World." Drank with applause. The CHAIRNIAN than rose, to give them another toast, to which he hoped every man would do honour by im mediately charging his glass. The toast which he was about to give was one in which he took a deep interest— " The L.berty of the Press"—(atedr, hear, and cheers.) It was impossible to witness the manner in which the circulation of knowledge was stopped or retarded in this country, without being sensible of the necessity of burst ing the fetters that now prevented men from learning to know their interests, and how they might be best pro moted. It was now a general complaint that life and property were insecure, and that burning and other crimes of that nature were prevalent throughout the country. Could they wonder at it, when they recalled to mind the means that were taken to prevent the spread of knowledge by heavy taxes on every publication which the poor could hope to purchase?—(Hear, hear, hear.) ~,1 Poverty and ignorance he looked upon as the parents of crime, and from their eradication, he hoped to detive every benefit for the good of society. The English Legis lature were greatly to blame in not having established, long before, a national system of education. One of the last acts of the Scottish Parliament was to ordain that a school should be k. pt in every parish, thereby putting instruction in the power of the poorest person through ' out the whole country. And if there were any truth in the genertil opinion that Scotsmen are possessed of a higher order of moral feeling than the English generally, they were to attribute the advantage to greater care in the education of the one people than the other. The organization of the National Schools in Scot land was also the most perfect that could be. Lest the clergymen in the different parishes should influence the management of the schools to serve their own purposes, the law made the schoolmaster free from any control, and fixed hint as firm as the clergyman himself, not remove thle unless at the instance of the Presbytery, composed of the laity and clergy, who were to proceed by a law process. He had himself travelled in most parts of the world, and lie was free to confess, he knew of no country in more want of a system of education than England. He had been in most countries on the Continent, in Greece, Ecypt, and many of the most celebrated places in the East, and could thererore speak from experience. He had also long been a member of the Lancasterian Society's Committee here, and he had invariably in the clergy the most steady opponents to the diffusion of instruction, unless the schools were given up to them, and they were permitted to prohibit any religious communion from attending it who would not adopt their creed.--(Shame!) Having said this much on education generally, he would confine the few retnaining observations which he had to off.r strictly to the toast which he had given to them. It was not unknown to them that, as the laws stood, at present any publication treating of matters con nected with Church or State, and sold for less than Gil. was subjected to fourpence stamp duty under a penalty of 50/. Now he should like to be told what would he the subject of a pamphlet or newspaper which a Tory Jury would not bring in as treating of affairs of Church or State.—(Cheery and laughter.) Again, the printer was differently treated from any other tradesman, for he was under the necessity of giving security for his conduct be 'ore he set up a type. This was a piece of gratuitous injustice; and, like the whole of the Six Acts, would soon be abolished.—(Cheers.) He should then propose to them " The Liberty of the Press, so far as it protects the Liberties of the People." Drank with three times three, and fol owed by loud cheers. After an evening spent in the utmost conviviality and cordial good feeling, Mr. Matz proposed taking his leave, which be did by half-past ten o'clock, being loudly cheered as he departed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Yesterday an adjourned Court was held at the Sessions house, Clerkenwell, to receive the find report of a com mittee appointed con the 231 of February, 1832, to consider whether any, and what alterations, le ould be made in the situation of Chairman of the Sessions, with reference to his salary and duties. Mr. HA LL was called to the chair. Mr. ROTCIi inforrnrd the Court of the death of Sir John Sewell, the chairman of the committee, and moved the ►eading of the report. The Clerk then proct , eded. The following is the sub ,tance of the recommendations ' 1. The committee are of opinion that the present system on which the business is conducted (the duration the sittings of the Court not being regulated by any order of the Court), commencing with traverses and being subject to repeated adjournments, is not the best cal. u lated for a speedy delivery of the gaols, a certain attend ance of witnesses, and a regular drsp itch of business ; it is also attended with greater expense to the county than a regular and uninterrupted session ; and, in consequence o' the felony cases at Clerkenwell not being taken until the Old Bailey Sessions begin, frequent instances occur of the escape of delinquents on account of the constables being required to attend at the Old Bailey at the same time that eases are called on at Cterkenwell, in which they are ma terial witnesses. In order then to reduce expense, and in justice to the prisoners, the committee recommend that the session should commence with the trial of felonies on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday ; that on Thursday ap peals he heard; that on Friday, when they are finished, the Mint cases do come on, and then the misdemeanors; and that no traverses he tried until the adjuurnment-day. " The committee having ascertained that the average number of Middlesex prisoners tried for felony has for some years been only 25 in each session, and those gene. :ally of a trifling nature, they feel that this number of cases is not sufficient to employ the Court on the Mon-, day. Tuesday, and Nl t ednesday, appropriated tinder the suggested arrangement, but - they f-el it unjust to defer the trial of the Middlesex prisoners until Saturday, and par ticularly to adjourn the Court, as is often the practice now, .chile prisoners for greater offences remain to be tried, and cannot be tried, until the next Thursday at the Old Bailey. Th,.y therefore recommend that nut of the 1,500 or 1,600 cases now annually sent to the Old Bailey, a limited number of greater magnitude than those usually tried at Clerkenwell, but not capital, should be selected to be sent to file Court—ti.e selection to be confided to the pike ma gistrates, whn mi 4 ht apportion the number among them all, or the whole cotahl be c.amnitted from Bow-street. " 3. To make these alterations complete the Committee recommend that the proper officer be directed to carry in before the Grand Jury the bills of indictment in the fol lowing order :—on Monday, for the Court at Clerkenwell ; on Tuesday and Wednesday, for the Old Bailey; on Thursday, for Clerkenwell, including all the Mint cases ; iday, and subsequent day, for the Old Bailey, and when all the bills for that Court have been taken, then the remaining bills fur the Court at Clerkenwell. " 6. On the salary of the chairman, the Committee commenced by referring to Mr. Const, the late ch Lirman, oh informed them that his salary was not considered by the Government in the light cf a remuneration fur his services, but to assist in defraying extra expenses in keeping op the dignity of the office t:f Chairman of the Sessions t'or the mnetrop ditan county of England. They find the 11 corder of London has 2,500/. a-ye ir ; the Common Sergeant 8001., and the Deputy Recorder, 700/. The Chairman of the Manchester Sessions, who is elected by the Magistrates of the county palatine of Lancaster, has 800/. a year p mid out of the county-rate, under two Acts f Parliament (4511 Geo. 111., cap. 59., and 6th [V., cap. 112). There are but four Sessions a year, and the county is charged with Counsel's fees to relieve the Chairman from examining witnesses himself, and these amount to nearly 800/. a-year more. This is net only a laborious task, but prevents the Coairman from preserving order and decorum. They feel also that it is not con sistent with the independence of the office of a Judge that his salary should be dependent on the will of the Treasury, nd they therefore recommend that an Act should be ob tained to authorize its payment (whatever may be the source from which it is derived); and that the future salary of the Chairman be not less than 1,200/. a-year. " 7. Several communications have been had with the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and though there does not appear any wish on the part of the Govern ment to withdraw the present allowance, I.,rd Melbourne has intimated !bat more ought n it to be expected ; there fore the committee recommend that apprica•ion be made .or an Act of Parliament simil :r to that of the Manches ter Court, authorizing the piyment out of the county-rate of any sum not exceeding 1,200/. per annum as the Chairman's salary, and that the amount actually drawn from the county•rate for that purpose be governed by the aitiount paid by the Treasury, so that at no time the Chairman shall receive more." Mr. B BEAUMONT proposed that the Report should he rejected. Mr. 111'11 7 11,1,1Am seconded the motion. Sir J. WILLIAMS thought they should tike the recom mendations of the report in detail as the best mode of ap preciating their worth. Mr. ROTCH moved as an amendment, " That the future practice of this Court be that on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, felonies be tried ; on Thursday appeals be heard, &cc., as recommended by the Committee." Garford with the consent of Mr. Botch, altered his amendment—" That the report b., now taken into con sideraion ;" which Mr. Ro , ch seconded. After a few words from Messrs. Hope, Swabey, Wil liams, and Beaumont, The CHAIRMA N put the amendment, which was carried without opposition. Mr. RoTcit moved that the alteration in trying causes, as recommende I (No. 2) by the Committee, he adopted. This having been seconded, Mr. B. BEAUMONT implored the Court to pause before it adopted so desperate a motion. Th e motion was carried with three dissentients. The third recommendation was agreed to ; the fourth was referred to a committee; the filth was withdrawn ; and the hat tw o having been discus,ed lot some time, Sir GEORGE HAMPiON moved that the future t , idary of the chairman be 1,2001. a-year and not exceed that. After a long argument pro and con. an amendment was, proposed by Mr. HOPS—That the question should he adjourned until that day twelvemonths. Eight voted for the amend ment, and seven against it, The Clerk was directed to inform the police magistrates that the new session would commence on the 11th of March next, and to request them to regulate their com mitments accordingly. The Court then adjourned. THE LATE PLOT. On the 19th of November last I wrote you, that France had that flay escaped the perpetration of a great crime ; that the King had been fired at on his way to the Charn btr of Deputies to open the Session, and that the assassin was in custody. In subsequent letters down to a certain date I referred to the reports and accounts of, and bearing upon, that transaction, that had reached ►ue through public and private channels ; and stated the general impression produced by them—namely, that the young woman Boury, who claimed the merit of having saved the King's lire, by tossing up the arm of the assassin at the instant when he was about to pull the trigger, had herself been the party who actually fired the pistol discharged at the King, turned from the Pont Boyar into the Quai Dorsay. A month since, however, and before the aff,ir had fallen into oblivion, I was, by the advice of a well-informed person, induced to discontinue my reference to it, and my concur rences in the general belief that the whole bad bee❑ a ape. co lation of Mademoiselle Boury. _ Yesterday, the 21st January, the Anniversary of the death of Louis XVI. was (notwithstanding the anticipa tion that its solemn observance would be that day at roga ted) held in some sort as a holvday by the Chambre d' Accusation, de la Cour Royale of Paris—that is, it assembled, but in private. That Chamber, I need hardly remind you, is constituted of the Judges of the Cour Royale. Its functions resemble those of your grand Juries in criminal matters. They assemble in Council, with closed doors, and investigate the persons in custody, or "contumacious," under the evidence tak e n in support of those charges, and decide whether the accused shall or shall not be sent to the Coors d'Assiz-s for trial. Not withstanding that yesterday was the 21st of January, I say, the Chamber d'Accusation in question was occupied during the day—and with an affair too, which, but that it would savour of affectation, I should describe as singu larly coincident with that which occurred exactly forty years before—l mean with the attempt made—actually mode—on the life of the King of the French on the 19th November last. The following particulars connected with the cae considered at that private meeting have reached me from an authentic source--you will find them worth adopting in my informant's own words : " Twenty-two persons were arrested on or immediately after the 19th Nov. last, on suspicion of, or charged with, having participated in the attempt made to shoot the King as he wns proceeding from the Tuileries to the Chamber. From among those, two have been selected for trial. The principal of these two is a young man named Bergeron, aged 21 years. He is a native of Chauny; a small town of Picardy, and belonged to a family, once of respectability, hut which has been ruined in commerce. His mother has been, in consequence of her altered circumstances, obliged to keep a milliner's shop in that place. This young man studied with distinction in one of the best institutions of Paris, directed by M. de Reuss, and attended the lectures of the College of St. Louis. He is represented as being of a sombre character, but an enthusiast, and was a mem ber of the Repub!ican Society of the Rights of Man.' However, it would appear that be carefully concealed his opinions frotn the Director of the Institution above men tioned, and who employed him as under master, for M. de Reuss is noted in the University for his attach . talent to the present reigning family, with whom he is, in same measure, connected by a family tie ; his father, who descends from a branch of the German Princes of th at name, having been the foster.brother of old Philippe " Epalite," the father of the present King. It would appear from the information obtained by the police, who spared neither trouble nor expense to arrive at the truth, that the members of the Society of the Rights of Man had for a long time formed the project of assassinat ing Louis Philip, and that Bergeron bad been designed to carry it into effect. So determined was he to execire the deed, that while standing in the group, on the Pont Royal, he entered into a violent rage against one of his friends who had expressed doubts as to his determination, and threatened to strike him. It is supposed that the second pistol, which diy on the ground near the one that had been fired, was dropped by another young man, re specting whom the police was unable to procure positive information. A surgeon, named Benoist, a too n.tnan 41141 intimate friend of Bergeron, is also strongly suspected of being his accomplice. He had at-lived in Pat is on the morning of the 19th of November, and had repaired, itn mediately on landing from the diligence, to Bergeron, whom he subsequently accompanied to the Pont Royal. After the occurrence he left Paris, and was arrested at Chalonsttmr- Marne. " The most circumstantial information relative to the ~}tempt yet obtained was from the brother of 'one of th mstnhers of the Society of the Rights of Man, who was indueed to reveal what he knew of their proceedings by his mistress, a woman of ill fame, on whom the police had lavished large sums of in , ney. " The inquiries itustituted by tl , e Chamber of Accusa tion have 4 I ti,fird the Judges that the anecdote of Made maia,Te Boury, which suece , ded so well at the moment, , vas a mere fable which had been invented by that woman, who was on V , e bridge at the time the King was passing certainly, but not at the spot whence the shot was really tired. This demoiselle, who had cone to Paris to solicit from the King or his Alinisters a sum of money to enable her to marry her lover, a M. Masse, immediately determined to turn the event to account, and pass herself as the pre• server of his Majesty's life, by pretending to have warded off toe blow. " Bergeron, on being examined, denied having fired the shot ; but replied with much firmness, on being questioned as to his political sentiments, that though conscious of his danger, he was not a man to disguise his political opi nions; that his friends and he considered Louis Philip to be a traitor to the Revolution of July, and as such deSeived to suff.r death ; that, independently ( like. all Kings) he was an obstacle to the liberty and happiness of the people.' " It is a well-known fact that the members of the Society in question had, for a long time previous to the attempt of the 19th of November, been incessuatly prac tising firing, at a mark. The K.ng's armourer, M. Le Page, the celebrated tunmaker, who examined the pistols at the request of the Judges, declared that a pistol, doubly loaded with powder and ball, invariably rises at the moment of the explosion,' and that 'of course th.: ball must have passed over his Majesty's head when fired.' Bergeron confesses that a few days before the event he had distributed cartridges to his friends, which were, he said, to be tried against the enemies of the na tion,' without naming who they were. The wadding of the loaded pistol contained some Latin words, such as lizeestus, and the barbarism chastitas, instead of castita•, and seemed to have been torn out 01 some school-boy's writing-book, or rather (as the Proviseurs of the Colleges Ef Paris, who were examined by the Judges, suggested) from the theological hook of some scholar of one of the seminaries of the capital. " Several persons who saw the man who fired the shot are unable to declare positively that it was Bergeron. The latter does not deny having been present on the spot and at the moment when the explosion took place. Cons,- quently there will not be sufficient proofs to establish his guilt, and the Jury will not convict bun on mete presurnp tions. Beside:, the means resorted to by the police to obtain informatio❑ were so revolting, and the sources from which it was derived so disgustingly immoral (a prosti tute, and a brother denouncing a brother), that there is every probability that the accused, even supposing him guilty, will lie acquitted by the Jury." 1 have, ior many reasons, preferred giving you these particulars in the hand-writing of my informant to turn ing them into a regular narrative. The Chamber, yes terday, determined on sending the accused for trial before tr.e Cour d'Assizes, but as, according to the still eaisting law, the 21-st of January is a day Eerie, any act com pleted yesterday might, on appeal to the Court of Casea tion, be declared null and void, the finding of the Chain was nut formally signed. The accused will, howev,r, I repeat, be sent betUre the proper tribunal for trial, and (as my informant suggests), from the insufficiency of evi dence, as well as of the character of that actually obtained, and the other circumstances to which he alludes, will be, in all probability. acquitted. On his guilt or innocence, 1 shall not pronounce, but I bound to declare that I believe, from all I hive heard, and I have heard more than I can state in this way, that an attempt was really made on the King's life on the 19th of November, 18372.

On Friday, Dec. 14, 1832, the Senate did not sit. EXTRAORDINARY CASE. A SIAN TRANSPORTED FOR FOURTEEN YEARS FOR STEAL- INC HIS OWN PROPERTY. At the Manchester Quarter Sessions, on Saturday, a man named Richard Harris, of respectable appearance, who had formerly kept a pnblic-house in Manchester, was indicted fir having stolen at Manchester, on the 24th of December last, one box, the property of Messrs. Pickford, the carriers. The case excited considerable interest, as it involved a rather singular and novel question, namely, whether the prisoner had or had not been guilty of stealing his own property. According to the evidence adduced, it ap peared that on the above-named day, the prisoner called at the warehouse of Messrs. Pickford and Company, the well-known carriers, and asked if they had a box for him, which he expected would he sent, addressed to him from Birmingham, by their conveyance. The porter of Messrs. Pickford, whom he questioned, told him that it had ar rived, and was in the warehouse, but that be had better go into the clerk's office and pay the carriage before the hoX was given to him. He accordingly went into the office, and asked one of the clerks what was the charge for carriage ? The clerk told him, and be went away without paying anything, but he said that he would call again about it. In two or three d4ys afterwards hesagain called at the office, and asked for the box, saying that he had brought the money to pay for the carriage. On searching for the box in the warehouse it was not to be found, and the prisoner appeared to be exceedingly enraged, declar• ing that he would bring an action at law against Messrs. Pickford for the value of the box and its contents. The clerks and warehousemen had a conversation on the sub ject, and, after considering the circumstances of the pri soner's previous visit to the warehouse, together with the fact of the box not b-ing seen since that visit, they began to suspect that the prisoner himself must have taken it away. Messrs. Pickford, in consequence, applied to the Magis trates, and obtained a warrant to search the prisoner's pretniss-s, which they did, and there found the identical tiox, emptied of its contents. Evidence to the above ef fect having been adduced, the Jury stopped the Chairman :is he was about to sum up, observing, that they were quite satisfied with the facts of the case, but they' wished to know from hint whether it was a felony fur a man to steal his own goods. S. H. Norm's, Esq., the Chairman, said that, under the circurnst tours, ther e could he no doubt that, if the pri soner was guilty it would amount to a f. lony. Tbe Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. The CHAIRMAN, in passing sentence, said that the pri soner was a min of very considerable and astute intellect, ant had managed his tobtiery with a great deal of tact. He \VAS liable to be transported for life, hut the Court would not go that length. Still, however, considering the ad'lress lie had di.phyed, they could n,,t do less than transport hitn..for fourteen years. rhi pri.orp.r bn hearing his sentence, burst into tears, and was taken away crying bitterly. CITY THEATRE. CHAPMAN. who resumes the management of this theatre, has produced a drama called The fluke's Pro. gress, !minded on Hozarth's celelmord pictures ; the slur ) is v e t y closely followed, thouA the costume is modernized. This is an error, for the realiz 'Orin of some of the pie tors would have teen highl effective. The Rake is played by Mr. W. L. BEDE ; hit friend, Harry 3Llrk ham, a finished " Gentleman about town," by 1100 PER and both excellently. In the first act Tom Raketvell is seen a warm hearted and ingenious boy ; in the second, a thouvtless youth, in the full swing of dissipation ; in the list, in prison ; and, ultimately, in a mad-hi.use. The concluding sreoe, we are bound to say, is the meat harrow ing we ever witnessed ; it passes the verge of pathos, and deee'nerates into the horrible. A play may be too real— this is so. A squalid lunatic is not a dramatic character. W e say this in a kindly spirit ; as a piece of acting it was excellent, hut that which causes horror instead of pity is more fitted for our G..rman neighbours than for a London audience. Miss M. GLOVER and Miss CoorcH play the prominent female c :aracters ; MANnERS and CHAPMAN the pi incipal comic ones. There is one sketch, Snomp, (one of the Johnson and Byers fraternity) capi• tally drawn and well acted. The best scenes are the steeple chase, the duel, and the King's Bench prison ; the latter is novel in effect, the stage being so divided as to represent two apartments, in one of which Markham lies in bed, whilst Tom Rakewell occupies the other, which is totally destitute of furniture. One line that occurs in this scene is worthy of recollection ; one of the Rakes consoles him self by saying. that he never was a miser, on which the other exclaims, " My dear Harry, misers build hospitals and rakes fill them." The piece was highly successful, and the author may congratulate himself on having at tracted the most crowdAd audiences that the City Theatre ever knew. We heartily wish the company a continuance of their success. The authorship' is attributed to Mr. W. L. RIME, whose Loves of the Angels, &c., were so attrac tive at the Strand. Pozzo DI BORGO.---4 6 Pozzo DI BORGO was the son of a shepherd in Corsica, who used to bring e ggs, milk, and butter to the BONAPARTE family ; being a smart boy, he was noticed by Madame MEItE, who paid for his schooling ; afterwards, through the interest of the family, he was chosen Deputy to the Legislative Body, as their sons were too young to be elected. He returned to Corsica as Procurator• General, where he united himself to PERALDI, an implacable cnemy of the BONAPARTES, and consequently became one himself."— Voice from St. lielena.

SIR,-Your Piper of Monday last contained a paragraph* from the Bankruptcy Court, relative to the Hampshire Telegraph, full of misrepresentations, which I should not have noticed but for the unfounded assertion in it, " that my misfortunes have arisen from entertaining Naval Offi• cers." To the Offic-rs of the Navy lam highly indebted for support from the first moment I was in business ; for their kindness in giving me information, I am most thankful; but to the honour of the N try, be it under stood, thy do not ne.d entertainments as boons for their patronage, and I have never given them any. I am, Sir, your humble eery int, WM. HARRISON. P.S.—I hope that all Journals which copied the article in question will do me the justice to insert this.

We hope to see more of the same kind ere long : " Vienna, Dec. 30, 1632. " Sir,—The Committee appointed to the honourable task of erecting a monument to the memory of Sir WALTER Scorr only did me justice in believing that it will afford me pleasure to contribute to that undertaking, not only because I honour the memory of that great man in every respect, but will ever consider myself fortunate to have been personally acquainted with him. The interest and friendship with which he was pleased to receive me in Scotland will never be erased from my heart; nor can I ever forget the reception I met with in Edin. burgh, and the many happy hours I enjoyed there. They could not have appointed a more appropriate secretary th an yourself, who have so long enjoyed so much of his esteem and regard ; and it is with much pleasure I embrace the opportu. begging you " Your affection a te , t n o it a y c o c prte c the i s g s u m r y a s n e c l e f ofo otheu e r s tr with „ whicha nd lai GusTAVE PlIcE.
