Alfred Divett, a poor Irishman, of wild and excited appearance, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with threatening.to murder Mr. Willian - i Berry, an at torney, residing at No. 1, King's-road; Theobald's-road. The complainant deposed that the prisoner, who had formerly been his client, came to his office on that morning, and threatened to murder him. He had ye peatedly annoyed witness previously, and called him a swindler ; . Mr. COMBE—What is the cause of all this ? Mr. Berry don't know, I- am sure ; I have not given him any cause. The defendant, who seemed to be labouring under extraordinary excitement, declared that he was now wholly destitute. He had been in the Spanish Legion for some years, and when discharged received a certifi cate for a pension. He then enlisted in the 60th Rifles, and - served with his regiment in Corfu, and other places in the Mediterranean for four years, and was discharged for desertion at the close'of the last year. He came .tc• I 4 ondOn in the beginning of February, and being with out money or friends borrowed 11. 10s. from Mr. Taylor, a publican at Rotherhithe, leaving his certificate in pledge for the payment of that sum. He subsequently had a difference with Mr. Taylor, who refused to give him back the certificate, which was for the sum. of 91.25. 6d. He employed a person named Williams, who promised to get back, the certificate on condition that he would give him 4t. To this he •agreecl, but.. Williams failing in his endeavour defendant employed the com plainant, who obtained the certificate from Mr. Taylor, but refused to give it to him (defendant) unless he paid 21. 10s., which sum he had not. Mr. Comm (to complainant)—Had you the certifi cate ? Complainant—l had. Mr. COMBE—Where is it ? Complainant—l gave it back to Taylor. Mr. COMBE—What . this 21. 10s. ? Complainant— My costs. They should have been 4/. Mr. COMBE—Have you been paid this money ? Com plainant—Yes ; • Taylor paid me, and I gave him the certificate. Mr. COMBE—What ! Taylor paid you ? Why, se-: cording to your own statement, you had no right to withhold the certificate from Taylor. Why should he pay you any costs ? It was not he employed you. Com plainant (laughing)—True, but he did pay me, however. Mr. COMBE—This seems strange, very strange, indeed. I have heard of Williams, whom the defendent mentions, as having deluded some of these poor creatures who were in the Spanish Legion. Who would pay the cer tificate ? The defendent said—Mr. Castenado, who was clerk to the Spanish Commission in London. He en treated of the Magistrate to postpone the further hear ing of the case, and grant him summonses for Williams and Taylor, when it would appear that he had been most unjustly treated. The complainant said he was in fear of his life from the threats of the defendent, whose mind, he believed, was disordered. Mr. COMBE said he could not grant summonses for the attendance of Taylor and Williams, as he had no juris diction in the matter. The deTendant said he believed they would attend vo luntarily. Mr. COMBE said that as the complainant declared he was in fear of his life, he should commit the defendant until the Bth of April; unless he could find bail. The defendant declared he had no intention of injuring Mr. Berry ; he had called him a swindler, but had not threatened to murder him. He had no friend or rela- tion in London who' would be security for him. He was committed. An unfortunate girl, named Mary Ann Hartwell, was charged with breaking two panes of glass in the Clerk enwell workhouse. The offence was fully proved against her. She had not been more than a day or two out of prison, having been committed for a similar offence. The prisoner, a very interesting-looking girl, declared that she was unable to perform the task assigned her— picking oakum, at which she could not earn more than a few pence a day. She had been on the town, but what ever would become of her, she would never again be a prostitute. She broke the windows to be brought be fore the Magistrate. (Here the unfortunate female burst into a paroxysm of grief, and intreated of the magistrate to send her to some asylum where she might Spend'the remainder of her days in tranquillity. Mr. Harnett, the master, said, unless an example were made of the prisoner, there would be no such thing as governing the other paupers. She had broken two squares of glass. Mr. Monro (the clerk) observed that the girl's deter mination not to go upon the streets was highly creditable to her. Mr. COMBE said that perhaps if she would promise to conduct herself well for a few days in the workhouse, he might be able to get her into some asylum. The prisoner thanked the worthy Magistrate heartily, and promised compliance. Mr. Harnett said they could not receive her into the workhouse. Prisoner (sobbing bitterly)—Oh, Mr. Harnett, you are more cruel to me than the Magistrate. She was then committed for five days. The worthy MAGISTRATE told her that if she came to him when she came out of prison on Thursday morn• ing, he would do all he could for her. The unhappy girl thanked the Magistrate heartily, and was locked up. Three men, named Cook, Murray, and Marston, na tives of the north of England, were charged with begging. Police-constable 45 E deposed that he saw the pri soners walking in Bloomsbury-square on that day. When they saw witne is approaching they commenced begging immediately, and declared to witness that they wished to be sent to, prison,_ for they had been walking about the stre e ts n ight an d day, in a state of starvation, for the last fortnight. Mr. COMBE sent them to the workhouse. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.

(From the Edinburgh Weekly Register) HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH. The trial of James Bryce for the murder of John Geddes, his brother-in-law, at West Calder, began on Tuesday, March 12. The judges present were the Lord Justice Clerk, Lords Mackenzie and Moncrieff. The indictment charged James Bryce, with murder and robbery, in so far as, on the 26th or 27th of December, 1843, he did, within the dwelling-house at Blaw-wearie, in the parish of West Calder, occupied by John Geddes, labourer, with intent to possess himself of money and goods belonging to the said John Geddes, or in his possession, or from some other malicious motive to the prosecutor unknown, attack and assault the said John Geddes, and did, with a pair of tongs or other instrument, inflict several severe blows on his head and face and other parts of his body, and did, with a cord or other ligature, compress his throat or neck, so as to strangle or nearly strangle him, and did with his feet or knees, or otherwise, tram pie or press upon his breast or sides, by all which, or part thereof, or other violence, the said Jain Geddes was 'mortally injured in his person, his kull and lower jaw and 'ribs were fractured, and in conse quence. he immediately or soon after died, and was thus mur dered by the same James Bryce. The evidence, which was wholly circumstantial, consisted of tracing a considerable sum of money into the possession of the :prisoner immedirftely after the period of the murder, when he had been just before in want, as well as some of Geddes' property, including a watch and a pair of shoes; and of tracking him to different places where he was seen both before and after the murder. The whole of Tuesday was occupied in examining witnesses, and on Wednesday the Solicitor-General for Scotland addressed the Court for the prosecution. Bryce was ably defended by Mr. Crawford. His speech produced considerable sensation. _ _ 1843. Amounts... 2,556,554/. ... 1,756,8051.... 2,140,127/.

THE NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE, 44 WHITEFRIARS; OR, THE DAYS OF CHARLES THE SECOND."—The popularity foretold by the critical press for this work seems to have been already attained—a third edition having appeared. The in exhaustible variety of character, the continual change of scene, and the highly wrought complexity of plot which dis tinguish 'this romance have• certainly rarely been excelled. Indeed, it is among - the curiosities of the criticisms on this work that the author is taxed with exhibiting too great a variety. " Take," says the Examiner, " merely a few of the scenes in which the hero is concerned. He is present on the eve of the murder of Lord Aumerle in the Tower. He has a narrow escape from death in the Great Fire of London. He sits on the lap of Nell Gwyn, the orange girl. He is student with Titus Oates in the Jesuit College of St. Omer. He is witness to the mysterious death struggle of Sir Edmondbury Godfrey. He is with Blood in his desperate robbery of the Crown jewels. He is Bide by side with Sheriffs Bethel and Cornish at the dripping scaffold of the Popish plot. He stands by the side of the Duke of Monmouth at the battle of Bothwell Brigg. He is ' confederate conspirator with William Russell and Algernon Sydney. He is present when Shaftesbury plots against his master, and Howard of Esrcicke is dragged down the chimney. He is with Captain Rumbold at the Rye-house, and with Charles in his Alsatian rambler. He takes part in the death of his mother, the infamous Lady Howard; attends his father-In-law, Sydney, to the scaffold; and is at the gallows with a friend and protector in the person of Claude Duval." Mr. O'CONNELL. — We give the following extract from a country paper, the Ten Towns' Messenger, published at Kidderminster, to show how far the London press is behind the Tory provincial papers in elegance of style and powerful writing:—" DLNNER TO O'CoNNELL—This most disgraceful but instructive exhibition of contempt for all the decencies of public life, took place on Tuesday last, at Covent-garden Theatre, when that already degraded temple of the national drama was subjected to the yet further debasement of being made the scene of a banquet, given by a most reflecting public' to a convicted conspirator,' who, in a few short days will, we hope, find his mere fitting place among the felons of a public gaol ; who has striven, as rarely man has strove, to dismember the British empire ; has exhausted the vocabulary of even his abuse upon the men of England, and dared to brand her women as prostitutes at heart. This man, shamelessly living upon the misery of which he is the very source, yet affects to he the redresser, sat down to a public entertainment at which no fewer than 1,200 guests assembled to meet him, with boxes and galleries crowded to the root" Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Rent visited the Queen and Prince Albert yesterday, at Buckingham-palace, and partook of a dejeunt with her Majesty and his Royal Highness.

ADULTERATION OF TOBACCO.—The Excise autho rities, under the immediate direction of the Hon. Chairman, Mr. Wood, have recently been very active in putting down the adulteration of tobacco by special inspections and prompt prosecutions, and conviction where the frauds hnve been de tected.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—TWO MEN KILLED AT WOOL WICIL—SeveraI men of the Royal Artillery were yesterday (Fri. day) afternoon employed in digging and carting gravel from the gravel.pit between the battery and Repository.grounds to the Royal Arsenal, and two of the men, gunner and driver Norwood, and gunner and driver Cochrane • belonging to Captain Dyson's company, 7th battalion, havhig in the progress of digging gone under the bank, their operations and the state of the ground and gravel above them caused the whole to give way, and, falling upon them, they were killed ahnOst hlstantaneously. Their comrades, who were present at the time, soon got out the bodies, and medical men were promptly on the spot, but life was totally extinct in the one case, and MI6 two or three gasping, the other ceased to exist. - VICTORIA PARR.—AII doubts of the commence ment of operations in the park during the present spring, are re moved by the Crown having given permission to the market gardeners to resume possession of their property till Michaelmas. day, and having rented all the pasture land to Mr. Ridge, a large proprietor, till the end of October. The terms for the purchase of Bonner's-hall, which was the property of Guy's Hospital, and has been the subject of much litigation and delay between the Crown and the hospital, have been finally arranged this week. It is, how ever, considered likely that workmen will be at once employed to stake nut the boundaries of the park, and that the excavations for the drainage will immediately commence. EXAMPLES.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) Caroline Harris was indicted for a felony in attempting, by flagitious means, used towards one Jane Pountuey, to pre vent the birth of a child. The evidence is unfit for any detail. The child was born dead . His Lonnsmr . directed the jury to acquit the prisoner, as although there was no doubt she was a most wicked woman, still the case was not one in whicht would be safe to con vict her of so serious an offence under the circumstances. The Judge then consulted with Mr. Baron Parke, respecting two other indictments against the prisoner for misdemeanour aris ing out of similar circumstances, and on his return to the Crown Court he directed the jury to acquit the prisoner on those charges also. The case was one which has agitated the public mind very much, and created great anxiety as to the result. Peter Staunton, surgeon, a gentlemanly-looking man, was indicted for committing an assault upon Emma Brown, at Brierly-hill, on the 24th of February, with intent, &c. The facts of the case were most extraordinary, the surgeon -being charged with acting improperly when attending pro fessionally to the female. It is impossible to give the evidence. Six ladies gave the prisoner an exemplary character for gentlemanly and delicate conduct. He had attended several of them in their confinements. The JUDGE having summed up, the jury immediately re turned a verdict of not guilty. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) Mary :Ann Meadows,l7, Was indicted for unlawfully taking Caroline Allen out of the possession, and against the will of her father, on the sth February, at Wolverhampton. The prisoner, on the day named in the indictment, met the girl, who is about twelve years of age, on the road, with a basket of bread, for which she had been sent by her parents. The prisoner persuaded her to go teßirmingham, saying that she would give her 5/. and take her up to London with him. The child consented. Upon this admission being made, the JUDGE directed an acquittal, the girl being above ten years of age, and a cOn senting party, putting the offence out of the jurisdiction of the Court, under the statute on which the indictment was framed. The business of the Assizes terminated at flire o'clock. NORTHERN CIRCUIT —York, March 14. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. BARON Boum) Joseph Noble was indicted for the manslaughter of Elijah Holroyd, at Halifax, by stabbing him with a knife. Mr. Hale and Mr. Denman conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was not defended by counsel It appeared that on Christmas night the prisoner, with some others, had been spending the evening at a public house, which he left about 12 o'clock. There was at that time another person with him, an acquaintance, who had asked permission to sleep i n hi s b e d f or t h e night. On ar riving at the prisoner's house, the prisoner sat down by the fire. to smoke a pipe, and the othe r we nt t o bed. Shortly after, voices were heard outside the door, an d Noble rose, as if to fasten it. Before this was done, however, Holroyd came in, and, apparently in a drunken frolic, began pulling off the bed-clothes, which he threw about "the room, and let the bedstead down at the feet. While he was so engaged three other persons, his companions, came in. The prisoner expostulated with Holroyd on his conduct, and asked him how he would like to be so treated himself. He would not, however, desist, and the prisoner was seen to strike, him twice, once in the neck and once in the belly. On receiving the last blow, Holroyd cried out " ll— it, he's sticked me! See there, he's got a knife." It was then perceived that the prisoner had a knife in his hand, and one of the parties pre sent, of the name of Robinson, took it from him. It was, however, restored to him. The deceased then left the house in the care of one of the party, named Singlestone, to seek for medical aid, and the prisoner went to bed. The deceased, on examination by the surgeon, was found to have received a wound near the navel on the left side, and from which the omentum protruded, and which the surgeon could not re place. He continued to suffer acute pain, but finally became exhausted, and died about 24 hours after receiving the wound. Verdict—Guilty : His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said the MAC was a very aggravated one, and sentenced the prisoner to be transported for 15 years. Richard Render, aged 19, John M'Donald, aged 17, Joseph Kaye, aged 17, and Wm..illayfield, aged 18, were indicted for breaking into the dwelling-house of Frederick Turner, at Leeds, and stealing therefrom cloth and other articles to the value of upwards of 1201. Verdict Guilty—to be transported for 10 years. KING'S COUNTY.—Tullughmore, M arc h 13. MURDER OF MR. GATCRELL—CONVICTION OF TRH PRI SONER.—The trial of Thomas Dowling, for th e mur d er o f M r. Gatchell, was resumed this morning. After the examination of several witnesses for the Crown, Mr. M'llonoUgh ad dressed the jury on the part of the prisoner. NINE o'CLocK.—The jury retired at a few minutes to seven o'clock, and, after an absence of an hour and a quarter they returned to their box, with the issu e p aper i n t h e i r hands. The unfortunate prisoner regarded th e w h o l e pro ceeding with uncommon firmness, and wh en t h e f ata l an nouncement of Guilty was made by the fore man , h e s till maintained his self-possession for sorrie moments, then shed a tear, without evincing any extraord inary emotion. The Learned JUDGE then put on the black cap, and passed the awful sentence 't)f death upon the wretched culprit. When he heard it pronounced, he declared in a strong and clear voice, without evincing the slightest hesitation, that he was wholly innocent of the murder of Mr. Gatchell. He knew he was to die, and he was perfectly prepared t o mee t hi s f a t e. And then, turning to the jury -box, he said,—" Gentlemen, if the same degree of mercy be shown to you in another world that you have shown me in this, I can tell you that you will have little to hope for." The wretched man was then removed to the gaol under a strong escort of police, amidst the wailing and lamentations of his friends, who surrounded the Court. On Tuesday evening the first " Social Gathering' of the club of True Highlanders took place at the Crown and Anchor. Interesting lectures were given by Mr. Menzies, on the social principle in man, and by Mr. 'Logan, on the influence of the Jacobitical songs on the character of the Highlanders, in the course of which sever a l cur i ous anec d o t es were given. Besides the piper, an orchestra of good mu sicians was provided, and the members and their friends joined in the dance. The company shortly afterwards sepa rated, much pleased with the evelung'4 aplumect, MIRA TREASURY OF HISTORY. - Lbizgmari, Londoff;"ll344. - - - - -•- The author, or rather compiler, of this work is Mr Maunder, already'favourably known to the public by his " Literary and Scientific Treasury," which con tained a prodigious mass of the most various infor mation paolad up' in the smallest possible cpravass. In the comprehensive volume before us, he exhibits the same'. scrupulous regard to •sententiouS bre vity, and gives us a well-arranged digest of the history, from the earliest authentic records, of every • country in the world: These histo rical digests must have cost a world of time and trouble, which, however, will not have been uselessly expended; for the volume is one that can scarcely fail to be well received by the public,. being clearly and in the majority of cases, impartially written, and omitting no one fact of importance. The History of England, as might be expected, is the longest and most circum stantial in its details ; and we have been pleased with the uniform tone of moderation that pervades it, and the singular succinctness and siniplicity of its style. THE ISLANDS ON THE EASTERN_ - COAST OF AFRICA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The interest that has lately been excited by what has been termed ".French Aggressions in the South Seas 7 perhaps be sufficient td induce at tention to the following statement, having reference to a quarter of the world somewhat distant, but not less important, than the scene of those transactions, and allied.ineliakacter With them as well from their nature us • the circumstance of their having been partially dot - iced" in :some of the articles of in telligence which have appeared in your paper. It is knoWn pretty generally that the semi-bar barous nations of "Madagascar, the Comoro Isles, Mo zambique, and the .whole of the eastern coast of Africa extending-from Port Natal to the Straits of Bab-el- Mandeb, are gradually springing into life and in creasingly.becoming the objects of the observation and commerce of the civilised nations whose ships and trade approach the neighbourhood. In this state the progress of those countries is affected both in kind and degree by the nature of the traffic and in tercourse they have with superior nations. It there fore becomes a matter of no mean consideration, in a moral, political, and commercial aspect, that the in fluence of Britain should be such as shall sustain her character and uphold the strength of her power. We have had our eyes fixed for some time on the opera tions of French agents in different parts of the world, pursuing with avidity the occasions of aggran disement that time and circumstances have placed within their reach, either with the view to the exten sion of territorial dominion, or the increase of poli tical and commercial advantages for France. It is regarded by many as the mere unauthorised acts of individuals, without the sanction or support of their respective Governments ; but, although to some small extent this may be the case, as respects the precise mode of action, it cannot be well admitted or con ceived that these proceedings are the spontaneous and unaided suggestions of the navy officers who become the operators in the affairs. Whether this be worthy of consideration or not, the present position of Britain demands that in every part of the globe, where her rivals are to be found, she should give unequivocal demonstration of determination to pres"rve that position in the eyes of the world, and secure, in the ever-varying and multiplying transac tions of distant regions, the rights and advantages her commerce demands and deserves. And it is beyond question that, although the principal motive should arise from internal and independent considerations, the rivalry in which she now stands with the other European nations, and also with ale Western Continent, should prompt us to pursue with spirit and alacrity the opportunities of defending and advancing our political and commercial interests in parts of the world where they are, with ourselves, desirous of partaking the benefits resulting from the progress of civilisation and the increasing intercourse of nations. These remarks are intended to apply to the locality first adverted to, namely, • the eastern coast of Africa, the Comoro, and other small islands of the Mozambique Channel, Madagascar, &c. ; and, to the facts that have been commuicated to me by letter from a gentleman who has lived at the island of Anjoan (exclusive of two visits to England), seven teen years, and who is now on his way hither, charged with an embassy from the Sultan of that island,and possessing the most extensive and unequivocal means of Information on the subjects connected with the state of those countries, the position they occupy to each other, and their feelings towards the great powers whose ships and people visit them, and pursue the trade their productions and necessities create. From his statement, it appears that, although the intelligence that obtained currency here, a short time since, that the French had taken possession of a port of Madagascar, was contradicted, they are exceed ingly active in extending their power in the whole of that neighbourhood ; and, whether by consent or against the will of their respective Governments, succeded in assuming domination over some of the islands, and in some the direction of their international affairs. In this condition the surrounding islands feel the need of a protecting Power, and regard with regret the ab sence of British influence and authority, to check the advances made on their liberties and rights by other Powers. I give you the words in which, at one part, he speaks of the wishes of the Sultan of Anjouan to culti vate the intercourse, and derive the improvement to his country by the civilised arts of European nations: " One powerful motive that induces the Sultan of Anjouan to greatly prefer treating with English mer chants rather than with French merchants, is, that the French having already taken possession, unjustly, of the neighbouring island of Majotti, appertaining to the same. Government; he now lives in fear that the French Government, with its present ideas of aggrandisement, will take possession of Anjouan, a a thing that would never be attempted if Englishmen were interested or located in the place, because, the Sultan would then place himself under the protection of the British flag." I will not stay further than to remark that the productions of those countries, are known to be considerable, and that coffee, an article of the East, becoming every day more and more im portant a source of this country's supply, is capable of extensive increase. That the surrounding interests of Britain...---the Cape colony—Mauritius, and the Indian territories, the growing connexions with the countries b*,..the Red Sea, and the friendly and improving donumons of Muscat, and that the slave-trade carried cin,against which the efforts of British cruisers have been directed, and to which fact attention has lately been drawn by the publication of Mr. Pascoe Grenfill Hill's pamph let of " Fifty days on board a slave-ship," all encou rage the cultivation of a good acquaintance with those countries. As the matter may before long come before you in a more direct form, I will not prolong this, But subscribe myself your obedient servant, S. HAYNES ANGER. • London, March 12, 1844. THE KING OF PRUSSIA AND MRS. FRY. It may arise from his besetting uncharitableness of heart, but Punch was never in love with the King of Prussia. When his Majesty, under the auspices of good Mrs. Fry, went to Newgate, and when in the female pri soners' ward, his pious Majesty dropped upon his knees and prayed, we thought the ing of Prussia, as the lawyers say, proved too much. The humility, if true, was too good to last. And so it has proved ; for though his Majesty was so very good a Christian whilst in Newgate, he can, it appears, play the Nicholas in little on the Prussian throne. Sweet and touching is it to contemplate a mighty potentate of earth down upon his knees, with Bet Sly, Suke Tagrag, Moll Flashly, and twenty other forlorn birds of Newgate, "in trouble" for felony and misdeameanor ; beautiful, indeed, is the humility t The matron wonders, and the turnkeys cry, "Bless us what a pious cretur." The story is read and told at melting tea parties ; and the King of Prussia, Mrs. Fry's pet, is received into the large and tender bosom of female philanthropy, He is a king of comfits—a king of sugar-candy! His Majesty returns to Prussia, and with almost the gloss of his Newgate benevolence upon him, he becomes Jack-of-all-work to the Emperor of Russia. He is Nicholas' most humble servant, -a tool, a scourge, a Prussian knout in the band of the Imperial executioner. A number of Poles, dignified by misfortune ennobled by suffering patriotism— take refuge in Prussia from the bloody fangs of the Russian bear. They are—in a holiday mood, it seems, of the Prussian monarch—permitted by him to find a home in Posen. Their country destroyed to them, their fortunes shattered by as wild and merci less a tyrant as Heaven ever permitted to scourge humanity—they are allowed to find a resting-place, in Prussia. They become planted in the soil ; when, lot Nicholas has ugly dreams about them—they disturb his cheerful thoughts—and, as be can not have them back, first for the knout, and then for Si beria, why—he begs of his brother Prussidto banish them, accursed from the land. Whereupon Mrs. Fry's pet shows• himself obedient to the greater sod of mischief, and, whether or no, the Poles must pack. The soil of Prussia is not favourable to virtuous misery. Strange are the sympathies of Kings. His Majesty of Prussia could feel for and pray with illegal. pawning, with highway robbery, with embezzlement, with felony in its many shapes ; but for defeated valour, • heroic suffering, patriotism in all its glorious and glori fying aspirations—all such are nought, and must not v find as a ha c r h b r o l u s r tia in n P ; N o v s h e a n t . aln pityN e t w h g a a t t h e t s h h it to act journeyman despot at h ome. —Punch. eourCiltinhgaovfe Prussia VENERABLE BEEF.—At the Lamb and Swan ordi naries, at Honiton, on Saturday last, there was a rump of beef dressed from a cow teat was fed by Mr. Dommett, of Churchatan. ton, and sold last Churchington fair.
