H vvATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. Morning 3O zninutes after 10 1 Evening ... 13 minutes after 11. . • "4'l Zhe LONDON : WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1889. It appears by the statements which have been made on the subject, that the difficulties of the United States' Bank have been principally caused by the large purchases which it has made of cotton, or by the large advances it has made to the growers and holders of cotton in America to keep up the price of that article. There seems no doubt but that was the proximate cause; a more remote cause was a too eager desire to realise a large fortune, leading to a miscalculation of the means. A failure in such a course is only to be looked on as natural retribu tion, and we h ave not t h e s li ghtest intention to express any sorrow at the result, or excite any pity ) for men who are the victimsof their own cupidity. We / would, however, wish it to be remembered that the Bank of England has, by somewhat similar means, reaped large profits for many years, and has ac the same time been honoured by the public voice as a great national benefactor. The Parliament has continued its privilege, and so set the seal of its approbation to the conduct of the Bank. What wonder then, that numerous joint stock companies, both here and in the United States, which, for all purposes of trade, since the Atlantic has been bridged over . by sailing and steam packets, forms with us one commonwealth, should have been stimulated to tread in its paths, and seek to share its vast emolu ments ? Enough to satisfy them all, however, has not been produced, and their contests to get hold each of as large a share as possible, has brought on the ruin of some, and will bring on the ruin of more. ) We by no means wish to step forward as the advocates and defenders of scheming speculators; hut as the shallow part of the public are apt on every such disaster to call on the legislator for more stringent restrictions on all who deal in money, and as the legislator is too apt not only to answer the call, but to do a great deal of mischief, on the unfounded supposition that he can prevent the ca lamities brought on by over speculation, we think it necessary to say that he is pro bably of the two more to blame than the speculator. We have already mentioned that he stimulates the kind of speculation in question by providing an ample reward for it, in the case of the Bank of England, and bestowing honour and confidence on the speculators. But he is still more instyumental in causing mischief by other means. There is not enough cf business and profit for all • but the tariff in the United States, and Corn-l aws in England, are pl a i n an d palpable impediments to productiow, inflicted on this great commercial com monwealth by the legisl a t or , which, diminishing the • quantity of produce, cause the disappointment and the bankruptcy of the speculators. The amount of commercial credit which can and ought to be created ; depends, however, altogether on the quan tity of produce, a n d th e t i mes in which it is to be brought to market. By limiting the quantity of the produce of agriculture, for example, without ,inflicting an exact corresponding limitation and re striction on the produce of manufactures—and the leg.islator has no possible means of determining what is an equal restriction—he deranges the credit mar ket, and makes events mock ad the calculations of the most prudential merchants. But not only does the legislator, by placing a restriction on the pro duction o.f one commodity without laving a siniiiar restriction on the production of ;mother, for which )it is naturally destined to be exchanged, pro duce a permanent derangement in the credit market, lie continually alters and varies his ta:iffs, and so introduces uncertainty into all the operat-ons of coonnerce. Without pleading for speculators, we therefore conclude that the legisla tor is more to blame than they are for many of their in:scalculations ; and that to encourage him to extend It's power over the affairs of trade, in conse quence of the failure of one, or two, or a score of Backs, i.s a most fatal error, pregnant with those vets; evils it is most desirable to avoid. For a long period we have regarded the repeated failures of tmling peculatifts, as one of the most y extraordinar pheLoine.na of moder n soc i ety . The - -••- commercial cc:avulsions of Cie last half century vet require to be explained. The great business of mercants is founded ou caiculaCon, and the natural laws which regulate trade., including the varia tions of the seasons, by 7xtending observation over a few years, are ascertained to he certain. The more ex tensive it hecumes the greater certainty there is in the laws of trade. Yet in spite of these circumst.ances we have seen our calcul a ti ng m erc h ants over arid over again commit as gross errors as a youth in love. It W as not one who went astray—for that would not he extraordinary—but whole classes and even whole communities. Nor have the mistakes been confined the tie •coanntinity only.

All this is suitable to the Times. It must abuse the Ministers, or it could not live. Like the goat eating hemlock, it thrives only on what poisons the common race of mankind. It is remarkable, however, that this silly, vulgar, and contemptible abuse is borrowed and repeated by some of the metropolitan and half the provincial Tory journals. The scribblers have no capacity for thinking, and what the Times says that they echo, as stupid as the rock, which, with some alteration in tone, gives back the human voice. If the Eng lish be a thinking people, as is said, evidence of it must be sought elsewhere than in the parrot notes, vulgar and harsh, which the Tory journals borrow of the Times. If they could even discriminate, they might deserve some commendation, but when they borrow its groundless abuse of the Ministers, because the Carlist rogues have fallen out, they prove themselves as de s tit ute o f di scr i m i nat i on as of thought. Like the parrot, whatever sounds they hear they repeat, and like it, they seem to have a peculiar affection for abuse, lies, and swearing. The Tories at present have a great advantage over the Whigs—they do nothing, and so escape criticism. In fact, they are now nothing but critics, and appear, therefore, with all the assumed superiority of that very unproductive class of writers. They hold no public meetings ; they attend no dinners ; they have paid no visits to their constituents ; they are contented with shoot ing at partridges, and taking their rural or sea-side walks. They do not say the coup• try is in a safe state ; but they have neither time nor inclination to promote the public welfare. Never was the empire, according to them in a more disgraced and degraded condition, but they put out no hand to help it. The revenue is looking bad, the people are in distress, com merce is in a doubtful state, agriculture is not prosperous, even the seasons are adverse, while the Ministers are weak, still the Tories look on and do nothing. They have indeed promoted one or two Bible meetings; they continue to talk about the Extension of the Church ; they have even got up a Revival or two in Scotland, which promise to rival the camp meetings of the Methodists in the United States, or even in fervid faith the deluded followers of THOM ; but they do nothing serious for the salvation of the country. That the Tories, while they make little display or noise, are carrying on their peculiar business of corrupting and fanatic►sing the people, we can readily believe, but, with the modesty of true genius, they endea vour to keep their merits secret, and would blush to find that fame which they do by stealth. So, working in secret, and so, silent in public, they have the advantage of affording few points of attack to their opponents. To assail them it is necessary to go back to the time when they were in power, and then their deeds afford rather more matter for criticism than those of the Whigs. Minute points like this are worthy of notice as accounting for much of the bluster in which the Tory journals are able habitually to indulge. Among the " revivals " which we perceive are aking place in the Scottish Kirk, the most gene ral and the most to be deplored, is the revival of bigotry. That persons of great constitutional sen sibility, alias weak nerves, when their feelings are excited by eloquent appeals on topics of deep in terest, should fancy that the sensations which they experience on such occasions, are the effect of supernatural agency—the direct impulse of the Deity on their minds, is, no doubt, a wonderful delusion, if any thing can be considered wonderful which relates to modes of religion. The delusion, however, is comparatively harmless, and is much more calculated to raise a smile at the vagaries of poor humanity, than to provoke ally thing ap proaching to indignation. If the dupe of his own imagination be happier in the indulgence of his dreams and visions of glory than in the " cold realities " of truth, and observe the law of peace and nroderation in his intercourse with others, it were almost cruel to undeceive him. The bigot is an animal of a somewhat different description. He is fierce and intolerant. His charity, like that of the tiger, extends not beyond those who are marked with his own stripes. To all who differ from him in points of religious belief, he is a sworn enemy on principle, and dooms them by myriads to the everlasting torments of hell-fire, as monuments of the mercy, justice, and glory of a benevolent Creator. Were he not held back by the conviction that the times in which we live are not suitable for the display of an auto da fe, he would not hesitate to resort to that orthodox mode of punish ing heresy, the deadliest of all human sins. He dare not venture so far as this, but he goes to the utmost extent of his tether. Wherever he can ex ercise authority--wherever the absurd policy of a barbarous age has given him power to interfere be tween man and his Maker, there we are sure to find him at his darling work of forcing the reluctant conscience into the mould of his own narrow mind. These remarks have been suggested by some late proceedings of a Scottish Presbytery. A gentle man of the name of BLAIKIE has been appointe.l to a Professor's chair in Marischal College, Aberdeen. Mr. BLAIKIE is an advocate or bar rister, and a member of the Church of Scotland, and his new office imposes upon him the dangerous task of instructing his pupils in the mysteries of the Latin language. Such an opportunity of un dermining the doctrines of the Confession of Faith, was regarded by the Reverend Presbytery of Aberdeen with no small alarm, and in order to make assurance doubly sure, that pious, conscien tious, and learned body of Divines, insisted upon Mr. BLAIKIE'S signing the Confession, as by an old, obsolete, and absurd law they had a right to do. Mr. BLAIKIE complied, but accompanied the act of subscription with a declaration to the effect that he did it to satisfy the Presbytery that he was a member of the Church of Scotland, but that he could not say that he believed as an article of his faith every proposition contained in it, because those propositions were so numerous, and of such a nature, that they required much more time and con sideration to be bestowed upon them than it had been in his power to devote to the subject. Having affixed his signature, he received a certificate of the fact to be delivered to the University authorities previously to his admission to the Professorship. So far all went on smoothly enough. But certain ar dent spirits in the Presbytery bethought themselves that this qualified subscription wes not exactly the kind of thing that ought to satiel. their scrupulous souls. It was still possible, they opined, that Mr. BLAIKIE, in imbuing tl-e minds of the Aberdonian youth, as it was his duty to do, with the pure doctrines of the heathen mythology, might slily slip in some neological tenet, not in conformity with the standard of the Kirk. The result of much anxious pondering on the subject was, that the Presbytery summoned Mr. BLAIKIE before them to give a more particular account of the faith that was in him, with which summons Mr. BLAIKIE very properly declined to comply. Not to appear wanting in respect to the Ecclesiastical Court, he, however, wrote a letter to the Presbytery in which he stated at some length his notions anent sub scribing articles of faith, hoping that the explana tion would be satisfactory to them, but stating that whether so or not, he, acting in accordanc e with the opinion of Counsel " learned in th e l aw, " could not acknowledge any farther jurisdicti on on their part. The Presbytery voted this explanation un satisfactory, and having got themselves i n t o a pretty mess, wisely took time to consider how they should get out of it. This, we apprehend, they will find no very easy matter. The Professor elect has done all that the law requires, and will, therefore, be admitted to his office In spite of the opposition of the Presbytery. The Reverend Gentlemen cannot recal the fatal certifi- cate of subscription. They may fulminate their anathemas against him if they please—it will be of no use• Once snugly seated in his chair, be may laugh at their impotent persecution. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBI4II, 18 1 " On the morning of the day of the grand review, which will terminate the evoluti , .;lis, the Emperor will lay the first stone of a column in memory of the battle of Boro dino, 1812, and on this occasion he will harangue the assembled troops, in whose presence Divine service will be performed in the open air with the greatest pomp." • The following paragraph, extracted from the columns of the Moniteur, purports to contain the latest news from the East received by the French Government : " The accounts from Constantinople and Alexandria, received this morning, are of the 26th of August; they bring no new fact, and the state of political affairs was the same as at the departure of the last packet. As for the news which several journals have lately mentioned, of a pretended declaration, said to have been made to the Porte by the Ministers of Russia and Prussia, that their Governments not :agreeing with the other Powers they would take no further part_ in the conferences relative to the mediation offered to the Sultan, we are authorised to declare that it is a complete fabrication." The arming and fitting for sea of the three ships of the line the Ocean, the Neptune, and the Stif fren, is proceeding at Brest with all possible celerity. The Suffren has already its lower masts. The Cornaline corvette was to sail on the 12th for Senegal, Bourbon, and Cayenne. It has on board the Governor of Cayenne, five sisters of the Congregation of St. Joseph, and several passen gers from different Colonies. The Gazette de France has the following intel ligence from Alexandria, dated the 16th of August : It seems that Mehemet Ali is seriously indisposed, and that he has returned to the palace of Mehemet Bey, his son-in-law, to take some repose." ( Frora the Lloyd Austriaco.) " TRIESTE, SEPT. 4.—Accounts from Alexandria, of the 20th, say that Mehemet Ali had declared that he was certain the European Powers could not take any measures to coerce him, and that all Christendom would submit to the greatest sacrifices rather than have hostilities break out. Letters of the 17th tell us that Mehemet Ali has declared to the European Consul that the first steps taken to oblige him to give up the Ottoman fleet would decide the march of the Pacha against Constantinople. Afte- the declaration he returned to the palace of Mehemet Bey, and sent the Capitan Pacha to Cairo." Advices from Alexandria of the 26th ult. state that MEHEMET ALI is fortifying the whole line of coast down to Aboukir with his heaviest guns ; and that his Highness has informed the French Consul-General that should the English and French fleets appear off Alexandria with a view to compel the restoration of the Turkish fleet, he will close the port and abide the consequences, be they what they may. His Highness at the same time ex pressed himself assured that the European Powers would not, on reflection, treat him with such in justice, and that he rather hoped a consideration of all the circumstances would induce them to persuade the SULTAN to cede his reasonable demands. The Hamburg papers received this morning bring ;ntelligence from Monte Video, of the Ist of July. According to an account rece i ve d i n that city by a French vessel from Buenos Ayres. the President of the Chamber of Representatives, M. MAZA, was stabbed while surrounded by his colleagues, by a member of the Masarca (a Jacobin club), by direction of General Ros As. The assassin, accom panied the blow with the exclamation " die traitor!' On the same day that President MAZA was assas sinated, his son, a Colonel in the army, was arrested and murdered in the prison in which it was pre tended the authorities meant to confine him. Nu merous other arrests followed, and a clamour raised i that a conspiracy against RosAs had been disco vered. This, as a matter of course, was expected to lead to fresh butcheries.

TELEGRAPHS.-The erection of the line of telegraphs from this port to the New Sand Light vessel is now completed, and it is proposed to open the establish ment for public communication in the course of this week. We believe it is intended to commence instructing the people of the different stations immediately. The dispatch disphyed by Lieut. Watson in the construction of these works is highly to his credit. We are also happy to accord a meed of praise to the Corporation of the Trinity-house, the Chamber of Commerce, the Telegraph Committee, to various members of the Town-Council, and other merchants of the town, who have taken a deep interest in an establish ment likely to prove so beneficial to the port of Hull.— Bell Observer. SOCIETY IN LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER. When I was young I spent a good deal of my time in AlancheAer and Liverpool ; and I profess I give pre ference to the former. There you were oppressed only by the aristocracy of wealth ; in the latter by the aristocracy of wealth and letters by turns. You could nut help feeling that some of their great men were authors among merchants and merchants among authors. Their bread was buttered on both sides, and they had you at a disadvantage either way. The Mani!hester cotton-spinners, or, the contrary, set up no preten sions Leyond their looms, were hearty good fellows, and took any information or display , of ingenuity on their subjects in good part. I remember well being introduced to a distinguished patron of art and rising merit at a little distance from Liverpool, and was received with every mark of attention and politeness, till the conversation turning on Italian literature, our host re. marked that there was nothing in the English language corresponding to the severity of the Italian ode except perhaps Alexander's Feast and Pope's St. Cecilia 1 I could no longer contain my desire to display my smatter ing in criticism, and began to contend that Pope's Ode was, as it appeared to me, far from an example of severity in writing. I soon perceived what I had done, but here am I writing Table•talk in consequence. Alas I I knew as little of the world then as Ido now. I never could un derstand anything beyond an abstract definition.—Hazlitt. AN EXPENSIVE DINNER.--The frequenters of the Palais Royal were yesterday attracted to the Cafe de Chartres by a strange occurrence. At the fashionable hour of seven, two persons, of genteel manners, entered Vefour's Restaurant. One seemed to be invited, the other the inviter, the latter ordered a moderate dinner, of which the friends partook. When the repast was over the bill was called for, and tendered by the garcon. It amounted to eleven francs and seventy centimes. The inviter swiftly perused it, seemed quite satisfied, and, with a deyage air, told the waiter that it was all right, and that he would pay the next day, as he happened to have no money about him. This was reported to M. Hamel, the proprietor, who has tened to inform his two guests that, not having the honour of knowing them, he could not give them credit. The communication exasperated the Amphitryon, who, seizing a decanter, dashed it into the middle of the handsomest looking-glass in the salon. The pieces fell by hundreds upon the neighbouring epicures, and the terrified dames du comptoir rushed out in quest of assistance, whilst M. Hamel and his aide-decamp secured their two refractory guests. On the arrival of the police, the mirror breaker, an officer in the late Royal Guard, was conveyed to prison, loudly protesting against the outrageous denial of credit be had sustained. His more fortunate companion was released on explaining that ha had met his friend in the gardens, after a long absence, and that he had accepted his invita tion, not knowing that he had no cash about him. The broken mirror had originally cost six thousand francs, making the sum total of the bill 6,011 f. 70e.—.Paris Print given the most rigorous orders, the most precise instruc tions; to the authorities ou the frontier, to conduct Don Carlos, as soon as he arrives in the French territory, to a place of safety (Fort Ha is even spoken of), which he is not to quit till he has solemnly engaged no more to disturb the peace of the Peninsula. The French Government, acting on this subject in concert with the Spanish Go vernment, is prepared to guarantee to the Infant a suffi cient pension for himself and his family." The following extract of a letter from St. Pe tersburg, dated ithe 3d instant, is copied from a French Journal of Monday. It contains the latest political intelligence from the Russian capital : " The report which has long been in circulation that the Russian: troops assembled in the camp at Borodino were to serve afterwards for the realization of some political ob ject appears to be confirmed. The Autocrat has just ordered that these troops, after the reviews, instead of re turning to their respective cantonments, according to the preceding instructions shall march in two bodies, one to Kiew, in order to be a reserve for the army of the South, in case of an invasion of the Ottoman Empire—the other to the Western frontier of the kingdom of Poland, along which it will be stationed. " According: to,the:details given to the official journals the forces assembled at the camp of Borodino, will consist of 70 battalions of infantry, and 180 squadrons of cavalry, 40 regiments of Cossacks, and 12 half brigades of artillery, which, according to those journals, would form an effective force of 140,000 men and 300 pieces of cannon; but we know that considerable deductions must be made from offi• cial estimates. The camp will be commanded by the Emperor in per son, who has chosen General Prince Ozernistschoff for the chief of his staff. The principal corps of the registered troops are placed under the command of Field- NIF rshals Paskewitch, and Wittgenstein, and General Yermoloff. " The Imperial Prince Alexander, as Hettman of the Cossacks, will take command of 20 Regiments of the Cossacks, and the Dike of Leuchtenberg that (11 a Brigade of Hussars, Lieut.-General Count Kreutz, Count Orloff, Baran Rudiger, Baron Rott, Nicketine Kaiseroff, Deal sow B:onewsky, and Ycffremow will command sub divisions.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET OF TUESDAY.--The Cot ton Market continues dual, without very material variation in prices, the sales amount to 3,000 bags, chiefly to the trade. By the Cape of Good Hope Papers of the 11th July, it appears that the most affecting details are given of the perils of the emigrants, as well as the lives lost, and the losses sustained. The following is an account of their situation : " The farmers have not yet separated, but occupy dif fereut parts of the country, in parties of 50, 60, 100, End some 200 together. These places they c4ll camps, and those camps are surrounded on all sides by poles, to serve for entrenchments. A strong feeling exists among the emigrants against the Lieutenant-Governor, and to him they attribute the grievances under which they labour." The Foreign Exchanges yesterday were lower, owing to .he bad weather, with the unfavourable accounts of the harvest; and it is feared that the distrust caused by the discredit of the United States Bank in Paris, may affect the Exchanges still further. THE FUNDS. Consols opened at the closing prices of yesterday, being quoted at 904 4 for Money, and 90i 91 for the Account. Exchequer Bills, 1 3 premium.

The private letters from Hamburg received this morning bring very unfavourable accouats with respect to com mercial affairs; business was dull, and money was very scarce. It is reported by private letters from Paris that the business of the United States Bank has been settled, and that MM. Hottenguer will ply the bills. Money continues very scarce at the rate of 6 per cent. upon good bills with a heavy commission. The Foreign Market has been rather heavy all the morn ing.

The Bishop of Winchester having fin:shed his visitation of the Channel Islands on Friday last, left Jersey on that day in the Camilla steamer fur St. Malo.—Sher borne Journal.

Yester day Count de Castillon, one of the Seerotar!es of Baron Berante, and M. V. Li ndstrom, Ca bi net M e _ senger of the Emperor o f R ussia, arrived here. AN EPI STOLARY COINCIDE NCE.—The lady who wr t es i n L a Presse under the nom de guerre of " Viscount Charles de Llunav," tells the following anec dote :—" Two women, M a d ame d e and Madame do who are both past 45, are now travelling together. They are new frie46, who, unacquainted i n t h e i r child hood, strive t o d eceive one another as to their ages, and exhibit an emul a ti on of youth quite charming to behold. Some days ago. on paying a visit to an amiable friend, we surprised her in a fi t of laughter. Ah !' said she, I have just received a most amusing letter; Madame do S— writes to me—' I am delighted with my travelling compa nion; Madame de B-- is an adorable woman—her atten tions to me are quite maternal.' What think you of the words maternal attentions?' Can any thing be more laughable ?" Yes, Madame.' said we, there is something more laughable still, and that is a letter of Madame de, B—, which says the very same thing. She writes to her brother that Madame de S— is an ex cellent woman, whose attentions to her are quite maternal.' These two travellers, of mature age, vying in ingenuous. peas at the inns, and each having no other idea than that of passing herself off as the other's daughter, form so exqui. sitely ridiculous a group that we cannot help recording it." INTEGRITY OF THE OLD l'oLicE.---The following rather incredible story has found its way into the papers:—When Mr. Plank, the officer, waited on Faunt leroy, who suffered for forgery, he was asked by the bank e r if he could not take his word for appearing to answer the charge. "It is impossible," was the reply. The banker then pointed to a box, and intimated that it contained 70,000 t., which he might call his own if he abandoned his duty. The answer, and the result, need not be stated. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.' DEAL, SEP r. 17. —Wind W. S. W. a gale.—Arrived the Gilbert, Henderson, Singapore; Barbara, Gordon, Rit chie, Tobago.

POST -OFFICE ROBBERY. —John Alfred Gabell, a post office letter-carrier, was indicted for stealing certain moneys from a letter that had come into his possession by virtue of his office. The prisoner, when placed at the bar, expressed a desire to retract his plea of not guilty, and plead guilty. The COURT said it was a most serious offence, and the prisoner had better, therefore, re -consider his plea. The prisoner, however, persisted in his plea of guilty, and was removed from the bar. NEW COURT. Charles Tomsett, aged 31, was indicted for stealing two carriage springs, value 41., and a quantity of plash, value 61- the property of Charles Lines, his master. It appeared that the prisoner acknowledged, before the Magistrate, that the articles were his master's, and stated that be had taken them to his own room fbr safe custody. It further appeared that his master's name was written with chalk on the Springs, which the prisoner had not at tempted to efface, and there being a great deal of discre pancy in the evidence of the policeman and other witnesses for the prosecution, the Jury, after a short consultation, pronounced a verdict of Not Guilty. Thomas Grimwood, aged 13, and Elizabeth Grirnwood, aged 47, mother and son, were indicted, the former for stealing a gold repeater, value 101., from the dres.ing room of the Rev. George Robson, and the latter with feloniously receiving the same. The boy pleaded guilty, but there was no evidence of guilty knowledge on the part of his mother, he having told her that he had found the watch, and she was therefore acquitted. The COMMON- SERGEANT said tha► es, in all probability. an imprisonment in the House of Correction would do the prisoner more harm than good, be would sentence him to b.a confined in Newgate for ten days, and to be well whipped. Last week the Earl of Leicester arrived from Holkham at Hurls Farm, on lig estate, where there was a sale of tups, which bi 'ought a very high price. The kind. news and attention o'd his Lordetip to his tenants renders him very popular r,uong them and the farmers. The sale was attended by ',fumy of the gentry in the neighbourhood. CRIMINAL COUR T.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Sergeant Arabin took his seat on the Bench this morning at nine o'clock, but in consequence of no Alder man being in attendance, it was found impossible to open the Court and commence business. The Learned Ser geant sat till ten o'clock, at which hour Mr. Alderman Copeland arrived. Shortly afterwards the Lord Mayor, accompanied by Mr. Justice Vaughan and Mr. Justice Coltman, arrived and took their seats on the Bench, when some time was occupied in arraigning the prisoners, u hich would have been done before the arrival of the Judges but for the absence of an Alderman. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—George Smith, alias George Jones, was indicted for that be, with two other per sons, did feloniously assault George Smith upon the Queen's highway, and robbed him of a gold watch, chain, and several sovereigns, his property. The indictment also charged that at the time the felony was committed the prisoner and his companions beat and struck the pro secutor. Mr. PAYNE conducted the case on the part of the prosecution. The Learned Gentleman stated that the case he bad to lay before the Court and the Jury was of a most outrageous and inhuman character, resembling those daring footpad robberies which formerly were so much practised ; but which, in consequence of the improved system of police, and administration of the law, were now of rare occurrence. Mr. George Smith examined by Mr. PAYNE—Stated that he was a farmer residing at Eltham, in Kent. On the night of the 14th of August last, he had been to Lee Races, and was on his way home, accom panied by a neighbour, about eleven o'clock at night when he was suddenly knocked down from behind. 1 - :e attempted to cry out, but at the instant something was thrust into his mouth, which almost choked him. He then saw three men around him, who commenced rifling his pockets, one of them seizing his watch-chain, which broke, leaving the watch in his fob. The prisoner held his head, while the two others took out of his pockets several sovereigns, and two old guineas. Witness seized the prisoner by the trousers, and held him fast, and when the other two men had got his property they went away, leaving the pri soner in his grasp. The prisoner exclaimed to his com panions " The _ won't let me go." Upon which they returned and exclaimed " Let's kill the --;" and they all began t o b eat hi m. He was knocked down, and the prisoner released from his grasp, and then all three ran away. At this moment some of the witness' friends came up; he told them what hail occurred, and one of them say ing that be saw a man getting over a hedge, he was pursued, and the prisoner was discovered under a hedge. Witness immediately recognised him as the man who lied held his head while the others rifled his pockets. Other evidence was adduced, which corroborated the testimony given by the prosecutor. Oce of the witnesses stated, that upon searching the prisoner he found one of those means of robbery used at races, fairs, and places of that description, called pricking in the garter. The prisoner in his defence denied his guilt. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN charged the Jury, who imme• diately found the prisoner Guilty, and the Learned Judge sentenced him to 15 years' transportation. Mary Smith, aged 18, a good looking girl, was convicted of uttering counterfeit coin, and having been previously convicted, was sentenced to ten years' transportation. James Phillips, a young man respectably connected, ;.leaded guilty to an indictment charging him stealing 3711b5. of paper, the property of Samuel Manning and another, his masters, and was sentenced by Mr. Baron Vaughan to seven years' transportation. Frederick Barnett, a youth 16 years of age, was indicted with stealing, on the 18th July, a 101. note, two sovereigns, and some silver, the property of George Godfrey, his mas ter, in his dwelling_house. The prisoner was in the ser vice of the prosecutor, and during his absence from town, committed the robbery and decamped. The prosecutor stated, in answer to a question put to him by Mr. Phillips, who appeared for the prisoner, that up to the present oc currence he had conducted himself excellently. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and the Court sentenced him to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. MANSION -HOUSE-(THIS DAY THE CONSEQUENCE OF VIEWING A LADY'S Lao.--Glary Dxwding, was charged by Mr. Francis Lessey Sele, of Galley -quay, under the follow . n.f c reumstinces : The complainant stated that last night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, he was passing the foot of St. Dun stan's-hill, when he was abruptly stopped by the prisoner and another woman. The other femme stopped to tie her garter, and whilst he was looking at her leg the prisoner, he believed, picked his pockets. The LORD MAYOR —You paid for peeping.—(Laugh• ter.) Was it a very fine leg ? Complainant—l can't say much about it. The LORD MAYOR—You must have been very intent upon the leg to lose your purse without knowing anything about it._(Laughter.) Complainant—lt is absolutely the fact. The prisoner walked off whilst I was looking at the leg, and the other went away immediately afterwards. In a few minutes I missed my purse, which contained about 11. 153. Lee, an officer, stated that on taking the prisoner into custody, she threw some silver on the ground. She also threw away two purse slides, which the complainant identified. The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the transac tion, was then committed for trial. (YESTERDAY.) LINCOLN, 1839.

I can farther state as distinctly within my own know ledge, in consequence of repeated visits to the Register of Designs Office, that the gentlemen who are entrusted with the discharge of its duties are busily employed in collect ing from practical manufacturers, designers, and others acquainted with the subject, such information as may enable them to render the Act more perfect, and more suitable for the purposes for which it is intended.

The prosecutor stated that the prisoner and himself were first cousins, and ths.t in consequence of the relation ship subsisting between them, himself and his family had frequently assisted her by setting her up in business, and by giving her money alth. On the last occasion they had done so she had run away from her business, leaving seve ral of the articles whicla they had given her behind her. Since then she had gone into a situation, but had now left it, and on Friday last she applied to the prosecutor for assistance, who relieved her; since then she had been constantly annoying him, and not content with doing so at his own residence, she had this morning followed him to the offise, where he was employed as clerk, and had there created a disturbance. He was extremely sorry to be compelled to give her into custody, but he had so frequently relieved her, that it was out of his power to do so any more, and he was reluctantly compelled to have her brought be- fore a Magistrate as, the only alternative. The prisoner, who did not deny the prosecutor's state ment, was asked lay Mr. Cosista if she would promise not to repeat the annoyance. Prisoner—lf he will give me some money. Mr. COMBE —We must have no ifs or buts. Will you promise not to annoy your cousin again? The prisoner having, with evident reluctance, made the premise required, was dis charged. A HARDENED YOUNG num—James Horne, stated in the police-sheet to be tss, rive years of age, but appeared much younger, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing one pound and ten shilling s, the property of John Munden. The prosecutor, who is the prisoner's uncle, resided in the house of the prisoner's .rather. Last evening, in the pre sence of the prisoner, the prosecutor gave his wife thirty shillings, which she put in her pocket ; and on retiring to rest she put the pocket under her pillow. The prisoner slept in the same room with them, and about two o'clock in the morning he was disturbed, and got up, and found that the money had been taken from his wife's pocket, and the prisoner had decamped. He set off in i pursuit of him, and about six I ,'clock this morning he found him, and gave him into cost ady. The money was found on him. The father of the boy stated he had repeatedly been robbed by him, and that he was completely incorrigible ; he had been frequently at 'the office ; and on the last occasion an attempt was trade to get him admitted to the Childrens Friend Society," but it failed in consequence of his being too young. He was committed with a view of seeing what could be done for him. The young repro bate attempted to make a c ry of it in the dock, but although he most assiduously twisted: his countenance into all manner of contortions, he could nsot succeed in squeezing out a tear. The Croydon Railway Company have given a piece of ground adjoining their station in Tooley_street for the purpose of widening the carriage -pavement fronting their premises in that street ten feet, and workmen have beer, some days past employed in making the much-desired alteration in that gmaat thoroughfare. Frugality may be termed the daughter of Pru dence, the sister of Temp, !ranee, and the parent of Liberty. He that is extravagant will quickly become poor, and poverty will enforce depe•ndence, and invite corruption. It will always produce a passive compliance with the wickedness of others, and .there are few who do not learn by degrees to practise the crimes which they cease to ensure. BRIGHTON. Thalberg, who is making a farewell musical tour, took leave of the beau monde at this fashionable resort at a concert he gave on Monday last, in which he was ably assisted by Signor Ivanoff, Mr. Parry, jun., an d Miss. Susan Hobbs, a young lady from Bath, of whom, re port had already spoken very favourably. It is a general observation that " common report is a common liar." In the present instance, however, that observa tion does not hold good, as Miss Susan Hobbs ac quitted herself dune maniere which fully justified the high reputation she had formed. The cavatina " Qui la voce" was given by her in a style of most exquisite beauty. She also sang with Ivanoff "Un tenero Core" with great delicacy and precision, and a very charming Irish ballad, " Kate mavourneen," with much graceful simplicity, for the whole of which she was warmly ap plauded. The trio "Ti parli l'amore" was admire*. given by Ivanoff, Parry, and Miss Susan Hobbs. The old duet, " Tell me, where is Fancy bred ?" which wan admirably sang by Parry and Miss Hobbs, was hailea by the audience with delight ; and Ivanoff was, as usual, very happy in his execution of " Una furtivs la grime." Of the beneficiaire himself we can but r epeat the opinion we have so frequently given ; he Was grand in the execution of three pianoforte solos of his own composition, which we remember to have beard with much delight at his farewell benefit at the Queens Concert-rooms. The room was well and fashions* attended. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE• ARRIVALS.
