Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. lIENRI By th, HAMBURGH, Nov. 15, 18.36. OUR Friends, and all those who may have to write to us, are requested to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage wily, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 101., 20/., or 30/., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 10/. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note ; or having to receive Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our Correspondents not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. _ M•t Z:bt LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1836. The French Journals of Wednesday have all been received. Their columns are crowded with discussions on the probable leading topics which will engage the Chambers during the ensuing session. All anticipate a furious attack on the Government by M. THIERs. If the ex-Premier considers himself able to extricate him self from the meshes of the Swiss question, lie will leave no means untried to upset the MOLE Adminis tration, by denouncing its foreign policy. TIMERS comprehends the Spanish question, in all its bearings, an hundred times better than do the whole of the Ali- nisters put together. The provincial deputies entertain the highest opinion of his sagacity, and it is possible that if he make any proposition to the Chamber, condemnatory of the passiveness of the present Cabi net, it will be carried by a large majority. The Ministers dread this, and their organs are busy in their attempts to justify the conduct of the Government in whatever relates to Spain. The KING is no less troubled than his advisers. He cannot con ceal from himself that his secret betrayal of the QUEEN'S cause has raised the hopes of his enemies the Royalists, fully as much, or even more, than it has depressed the Republicans. Before now the struggle in the Chambers was between the Doctrinaires and the Re publicans ; but the next session promises the resusci tation of the secret supporters of HENRY V. The KING is thus placed between two fires. In his eager ness to crush the party that had placed him on the Throne, he forgot that there existed a party who saw only in the accession of the Orleans dynasty the tem porary triumph of rebellion. MioNoT, in his His tory of the French Revolution, tells us that when Louis XVIII. ascended the Throne, the Courtiers affected to believe that the interregnum was but of a moment's duration—it was not so much as presumable that the Crown had been for an hour out of the pos session of the BOURBONS. Were the Royalists to prevail now—and prevail they will, if Don CARLOS ever ascend the Throne of Spain—the interregnum caused by the accession of Louis PHILIPPE will be as studiously forgotten in the presence of the heredi tary successor of CHARLES X. The accounts from Bayonne relative to the siege of Bilboa are very contradictory. 'We have copied one which asserts that the siege had been raised ; but it is right to state that there are others before us in which the contrary is asserted. It is also reported that ESPARTERO has been removed from the command, and that RoDJL has escaped into Portugal. Brussels and German Papers have been received. The Moniteur Beige complains of the groundless rist moms daily circulated respecting a change in the Cabinet. The report that Ministers had sent in their 'resignations is, therefore, premature. On Tuesday, Brussels was visited by a tremendous hurricane. Several houses were thrown down. At Liege and Antwerp, much damage was done, particu larly to the shipping in the Schelde. The losses sus tained in consequence are estimated at an immense sum. Advices from Berlin to the 27th of November, state that Russia has formally declared her adhesion to the German Commercial League. The German Papers contain advices from Constan tinople, but not of a date more recent than those al ready published in the London Journals. We select an extract of considerable interest to the commercial world:— CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 6.—lt is seldom that an Euro pean has possessed the confidence of the Divan in a higher degree than Mr. Urquhart, First Secretary of the English Madrid journals to the 23d ult. have been received this morning. Up to the evening of the 22d, the ru moured changes in the Cabinet had not taken place. The QUEEN appeared to wish to take no part in the intrigues which the remains of the old Camarilla were carrying on against individuals connected with the Government. Her MAJESTY derived an useful les son from her intercourse with Serjeant GARCIA. Henceforth she will leave the responsibility to rest, as much as possible, with her Constitutional advisers, by leaving to them the initiative in all doubt ful affairs. So, at least, says public rumour. Her MAJESTY'S pruden ce i s laudable. Considering the state of the kingd om , and the character of those by whom she is surrounded, we question if her MAJESTY could have resolved to act more wisely. The appearance of some bands of Carlists in the neighbourhood of La Granja obliged the Government to send out the National Guards organized for the defence of the capital against them. The insurgents were headed by . EL SERRADOR, but they were neither numerous, nor in any mood for fightin g . They had been driven from Cantavieja by SAN MiGu EL , an d had approached Tarancon, within eight league s of the capital, when the Guards went out to drive them i n some other direction. Spanish The accounts from the Army o f the Centre, which will be found among our extracts f rom the s papers, speak in the highest terms of the activity of General NARVAEZ. Notwithstanding the great start obtained by GOMEZ, there is little reason to fear but that NARVAEZ will come up with him before he can enter Seville, unless the authorities open their gates to receive him the moment he appears in sight. Legation, enjoys at this moment. He has almost daily con ferences with the Ministers, and as he speaks the Turkish language fluently, he needs no interpreter, and therefore less is known of his negotiations than is usual in such cases. It is, however, known that they relate to the new system of Customs which is to be introduced, and in which Mr. Ur quhart's ideas will be followed by the Porte. These consist in the fixing of a very low tariff of import and export duties, and the total abolition of teskeris (licenses), which, in the hands of the Armenian bankers of the Porte, have become real monopolies, and an almost intolerable burden for the agricultural population. This new tariff is to be confirmed by a commercial treaty with England ; and by this means the arbitrary alterations to which the system has hitherto been subject will become impossible. Thus, for in stance, the chief director of the Customs suddenly raised (a few weeks ago) the export duty upon raw silk from 15 to 32 piastres, by which all those houses that have made contracts for the next season will sustain a loss that will counterbalance all conceivable profit on their speculations. To prevent those abuses, the tariff must be fixed once for all by commercial treaties. The abolition of the teskeris will be much more difficult, be cause they do not immediately affect the Turkish mer chant, but the Turkish producer, and as long as the pachas are farmers of the taxes, and therefore in the power of the Armenian bankers, who answer for them, these privileges will continue to appear under new forms. But the great internal reformation which the Sultan has been carrying on for ten years will enable the Porte to relieve the Admi nistration from all those mischievous intermediate Members. We are sorry that we are obliged to postpone till to-morrow the notice which we had prepared of Lord W. BENTINCK'S appearance before his constituents at Glasgow on Tueslay last. Dr. BowRING arrived at Leghorn on the 9th No vember, where a public dinner was given to him by the British merchants, and the progress of the principles of free trade celebrated in a country which, under LEOPOLD 1., gave one of the earliest examples of com mercial liberality and wisdom. To the enlightened policy of Tuscany, in this particular, the general pros perity of its trade may be attributed. A railway is pro jected between Leghorn and Florence—the yearly number of travellers being more than 300,000. Dr. BoievalNG has had several interviews with the Grand Duke at Florence. We are glad to see the Reformers bestirring them selves, in the anticipation of a dissolution of Parlia ment. To be first in the field is always esteemed a point of good generalship, and in nothing is the ad vantage of taking time by the forelock more strikingly exemplified than in electioneering proceedings. We therefore greatly applaud the Reformers of North ampton, who, it will be seen by a report in another part of The Sun, are already taking active measures to whip out the Tory whipper-in who contrived, by means but too common among the clique to which he belongs, to worm himself into the representation of that borough at the last election. The gentleman whom the reformers have resolved upon inviting to occupy the place at present filled by Mr. CHARLES ROSS, is Mr. RAIKES CURRIE, the wealthy banker, whose high personal character, staunch Reform principles, and vigorous talents, point him out as eminently qualified to take part in that ar duous struggle which the people have yet to maintain against the enemies of popular liberty and national im provement. Mr. CURRIE appeared before his future constituents on Wednesday last, and made a confes sion of his political faith, which met with their cordial approbation. Like every other man of sense, he is friendly to the practice of the representative pledg in g himself to the represented on leading points of po licy. This he showed did not involve any surrender either of judgment or principle ; because, on all great political questions men of reflection have made up their minds before they offer themselves as candi dates for the suffrages of the electors, while on other matters—on subjects of minor importance, which may depend on circumstances of temporary expediency — the Representative is, and must ever be, left to the unbiassed guidance of his own understanding. Mr. CuRRIE's political creed contains the follow ing articles :—Household suffrage—the ballot—trien nial Parliaments—Peerage reform—repeal of the corn laws—free trade—abolition of church-rates, and a more eiFectual Church Reform. Our readers will, we are sure, agree with us in thinking that Mr. CURRIE is sound in the faith, and in wishing that he, and many such as he, may replace in the next Parliament, come when it may, both the inveterate enemies and the lukewarm friends of Reform who unhappily found their way into the last. THE FUNJJS.—(T Ills DAY.) CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) IN THE MATTER OF HICKSON, A LUNATIC. This case came before the Court upon petition, for the purpose of getting the will of the lunatic out of Court, in order to have it proved by the executors. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the Court never made an order for the delivery of the will to the party, but to the officer of the Prerogative Court. His Lordship would make that order, but would go no further. CITY, TIVELVE O'CLOCK. Arrivals this morning-1 French, 2 Ostend, and the Dutch mails.

Several Junks have arrived there, and the prices of imports were expected to decline a little. There is no political intel ligence of any interest. The war with Cochin China appeared to be at an end. "We to-day publish a statement of the value of the imports and exports of the settlement for the year ending April last, as compared with the preceding year, from which there ap pears an increase in the imports on the last year, of about 150,000 Spanish dollars, and a decrease in the exports of about 500,000 Spanish dollars."

Among the Commercial Interest great activity was displayed yesterday, and according to all appearances the pressure, which recently prevailed amongst the merchants and money classes, is fast subsiding. The amount of bills sent in to the Bank this week for dis count has been rather considerable, and they have met with liberality onthe part of the Directors in their discounts. In the Foreign Market little doing as yet, owing to the ac counts from Bilboa being of such a contradictory description that they puzzle the most knowing speculators in Spanish securities, as well as the various information which the Stock joling French telegraph gives from day to day.

Dr. Birkbeck and several other scientific gentlemen were exa mined as witnesses. The plaintiff's case was not concluded when our Reporter left. IN THE MATTER OF THE EARL OF KINGSTON, A LUNATIC. This was the petition of the Committee of the lunatic, praying that a reference might be directed to the Master, to inquire whether a proper agreement for a lease should be made ; and also that the Committee should be at liberty, from time to time, to submit any future proposals for let ting the house to the Master, and that he should be al lowed to act without coming into Court. The ground of the application was, that th only property the lunatic pos sessed in this country was the house in question, which was situated at Westminster, and let for 5001. a year. Great difficulty had taken place in letting it, and the Committee had been obliged, from time to time, to make leases of the property that had been attended with great expenses, to save which was the object of the present petition. His LORDSHIP made the order, as prayed. The Court then proceeded with the part-heard case of Bacon v. Clarke. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The MASTER of the RoLLs was occupied the greater part of the morning with consent petitions. After they were disposed of the arguments were resumed in the part heard case of Neale v. Neale. Mr. PEMBERTON appeared for the defendent, Joseph Neale. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE and a Common Jury.) MORTON V. BURN AND ANOTHER. Mr. CRESSWELL stated the case. It was an action brought by Andrew Morton against John J. Burn, a soli citor, and Frederick Vaux, to recover a sum of 1531., balance due upon a bond of 728/. executed by the de fendants, and assigned to the plaintiff in October, 1833. The conditions of bond were that the sum of 228/. should be paid on the Ist of November, or in defau that the defendants should execute a warrant of attorney— the remaining 5001. to be paid in quarterly instalments of 501. each. A sum of 1531. remained due, and the pre sent action was brought to recover that balance. The plaintiff's attorney proved the execution of the bond—the warrant of attorney, and other documents, which were put in and read. Counsel for the defendant submitted that the plaintiff must bo nonsuited ; first, on the ground that judgment having been entered upon the bond, the plaintiff could not now bring his action and seek to recover under any other consideration, and secondly, that the plaintiff had not proved any consideration. The Learned JUDGE overruled the objection, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 1531. CLARKE V. SMITHIES AND WIFE. Mr. HUMPHREYS stated the case. It was an action brought by Henry Clarke to recover compensation for an assault committed by Esther, the wife of the defendant. He (Mr. Humphreys) saw a smile upon the face of his Learned Friend the Attorney-General ; but if he and the Jury were aware of what sort of a person Esther was, they would not treat the matter!so lightly. She was the wife of a retired serjeant of the Guards, who, to his other comforts, added a termagant wife. Smithies had some houses at Chelsea, and the plaintiff, who rented one of them, had been subjected to a series of annoyances, which, so long as they were confined to words, were disregarded. At length, however, his violence broke out ; and after having ex hausted upon him the whole vocabulary of vituperation which she had learned in the camp, she finished by beating him in the most extraordinary manner.—(Much laughter.) She laid hold of him by the lip, shook and cuffed him about the head ; and, not satisfied with her own prowess, this Penthesilea set on her daughter and a neighbour, and the two subalterns followed up the assault most vigorously. —( Renewed laughter.) It was for this most unprovoked assault, and in order to prevent a repetition of the an noyances to which he was subjected, that the plaintiff had brought the present action. Jane Ross Canning—Lives at No. 9, Grosvenor-place, Chelsea. The plaintiff resides next door to me, and the defendants at a short distance, About half-past eight o'clock on the evening of the 27th July, I heard a great disturbance and looked out of the window, and saw the plaintiff and Mrs. Smithies ; she called him rogue, vaga bond, and thief, and several other abusive names. Smithies was formerly in the Guards, and is now a musician at one of the theatres. Clarke said "Go in you insulting, abusive woman ;" and Mrs. Smithies immediately caught him by the mouth and struck him on the head several times. Clarke did not strike her, and at length Mr. Scaggs and Mrs. Smithies' daughter pulled her away, when she cried " Let me come at him, and I'll tear his eyes out."—(A laugh.) Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL--MY hus band is a clerk. I never performed at any theatre. Smithies has a good many houses in Gregory-street and Union -st reet. I hear fire-arms discharged—it was a very little cannon, that cost a penny. I heard no complaints of the annoyance caused by Mr. Clarke. Mary Ann Kinsbury—Lives in Gregory-street, Pimlico. Saw Mrs. Smithies strike Clarke ; she caught him by the throat and lip. Saw John Slack strike Clarke a violent blow on the chest ; and saw Emma Smithies run at Mrs. Clarke and claw her down the neck. _ . Mary Ann Kingsbury, mother to the last witness, also saw the assault committed. Her evidence was to a similar effect. James Judd—l saw Clarke and Mrs. Smithies on the evening in question. Well, tell us what you saw ?—The first thing I saw was what I heard.—(Great laughter.) Mrs. Smithies was abusing Mr. Clarke. Why was she abusing him ?—That's just what I wanted to know myself.—(Laughter.) There was a wonderful deal of blood about Mr. Clarke's face, and Mrs. Smithies' hand was full of blood. The last word of abuse she used was " a dirty monkey," and Clarke's reply was, " Mrs. Smithies, go in, I am ashamed of you ;" when she was im mediately upon him.—( Laughter.) She pitched into him with both her fists.—(Roars of laughter.) Christopher Smith witnessed the assault. Mrs. Smithies was in a very great passion, and it would have taken a deal of water to cool her. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Jury for the defendant, and complained in vary strong terms of the abusive manner in which Counsel on the other side had been instructed to speak of the defendants, who were most re spectable people, and had always conducted themselves in the most peaceable and creditable manner. He would sa tisfy the Jury, by the evidence of several witnesses, that the first assault had been committed by the plaintiff, merely because Mrs. Smithies remonstrated with him upon the impropriety of allowing his son to fire cannon, by which the neighbourhood was very much alarmed. John Stark, a labourer, resides next door to the plaintiff and heard complaints made of annoyance from the firing of a small cannon by plaintiff's son. Plaintiff's son was firing the cannon on the evening in question, and Mrs. Smithies went to remonstrate with the plaintiff, as a little girl had fainted from the noise, when he told her to be off, or he would kick her off his premises. Saw Clarke strike Mrs. Smithies, and also her daughter, when witness interfered, and offered to fight him, but he declined. Mrs. Smithies was acting on the defensive, and witness believed she scratched his face. Witness was in Mr. Cubitt's employ , ment, and plaintiff was a clerk there, and in consequence o f a representation made by plaintiff to Mr. Cubitt, witness was next day discharged. Witness visits at defendant's, but is not courting the daughter. Mrs. Charlotte Skeggs—Saw pl a i n tiff' s son fi r i ng a can non on the evening in question, an d a li tt l e g i r l f a i n t e d. Mrs. Smithies interfered. The eviden ce o f the assault given by this wi tness was similar to that of the last witness. Emma Smithies, daughter to the defendant, also deposed that the first abuse and assault was committed by the plai tiff upon her mother. Witness w as a l so struc k, b u t h e r mother never touched him. As soon as her mother went towards him, he ran back. James Skeggs witnessed the assault, w hi c h was com menced by the plaintiff. Did not see Mrs. Smithies strike at all. Was in the employment f Mr. C u bitt, but was dismissed in consequenc e of Clarke's representations. John Smithies, son to the defendant, a l so swore th a t the plaintiff first assaulted his mother. Mr. HEI4IPHREYS having replied, Mr. Justice COLERIDGE summed up. The Jury would agree with him that a great deal more time h a d b ee n ex pended upon the case than it merited, and what was more important ten witnesses were brought befo re th em , s i x of whom swore one way, and four directly the contrary, and all about what was really a trumpery matter. Even if they believed that Clarke struck first, that would not be a justi fication, as it had not been pleaded ; and if they believed the defendant struck Clarke, they must find a verdict for him, with such damages as might appear to them reasonable. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—ls. damages. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY (Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury KNIGHT U. PERRY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, for the alleged infringement of a patent granted to the plaintiff for the manufacture of a certain species of metallic pen. The defendant pleaded the general issue, also that the particular pen in question was not a new in- EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) M'DOWAL V. LYSTER. This was an action to recover the sum of 2001. upon a cheque drawn upon the firm of King and Co. by the defen dant, a Colonel in the army. The defendant had pleaded that he was not liable for the payment the cheque, it hav ing been given for money lost at play, and at one sitting, to which the plaintiff replied, that whatever the circum stances were under which the cheque was given, he was en titled to recover, as he was the holder of it for a valuable con sideration. This form of pleading threw the onus of proving the non-consideration upon the defendant, and accordingly his Counsel, Mr. Humphrey, opened the case to the Jury. The defendant was at the late Doncaster meeting, and , there unfortunately fell into the company of a gang of per sons, whose after-conduct proved them to be nothing more nor less than —. He would leave the Jury to say what, after he had laid his evidence before them. The defendant left Doncaster in company with a Mr. Edwards,:Mr. Francis, and Mr. Stubbs. They arrived at the hotel at Hortenbury-hill, where the party dined ; they drank a considerable quantity of wine, when play was mentioned, and dice introduced by one of the party ; they played, and the consequence was that the defendant was robbed of all the money he had with him, and then the party got him induced to continue playing with money advanced upon the cheque now in question. The details of the case they would hear more particularly when he called his witnesses. As to the man ner in which the cheque came into the possession of the plaintiff, who was the keeper of a very notorious house, he believed every one of.the Jury would know something of it, No. 72, in the Quadrant. He would have a future oppor tunity of addressing the Jury. The witnesses were ordered out of Court on the appli cation of the plaintiff's counsel. The waiter at the hotel at Hortonbury Hill deposed that he remembered the defendant and the party arriving at the hotel, where they dined. They drank, during the evening, ten bottles of port, and three half-pints of brandy. Shortly after dinner they called for a backgammon-board and dice. Witness gave them the board, but he had no dice in the house. Some one of the party produced a box and dice and cards ; he did not know which, and they commenced playing at hazard. He saw large piles of notes and gold beside them when they were playing. They played very late, and early in the morning he was called to bring in pen, ink, and paper ; he did so, and he saw the defendant write upon a piece of paper like a cheque. Edwards said, " Draw it upon a banker, and not upon your agent—it will look more feasible and regular." He was again called in, in fully more than an hour, when he found the defendant very much excited, and hold ing the end of a handkerchief with the dice in one hand and the poker in the other. He complained that the dice were loaded, and said the party had robbed him. He called them vagabonds and swindlers, and said if they would give him back the check, he would give them back the dice. Witness would not interfere, and left the room. The defendant went away in the morning, and before the other three. The witness gave the same account of the transaction in his cross-examination. Messrs. Campbell and Monck, who had been present, were then called, but did not appear. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS addressed the Jury for the plain tiff. As the evidence now stood, he would have a difficulty in answering it, had his client been one of the parties pre sent. The plaintiff, however, was in no way connected with them, and was the holder of the bona fide check for a valuable consideration ; and therefore, however the check might have been obtained, he had a right to recover. As he was instructed, he would show that the check was given at Doncaster for money actually lent, and that the play at Hortonbury-hill had nothing to do with it. If he proved that case, he must say he wondered at the defence being persisted in. He then called Ignatius Francis, who knew the defendant, and had seen Mr. M'Dowal once or twice. He saw the cheque pro duced on the Monday after Doncester Races ; it was shown him by Mr. Edwards, at the Ship Hotel, Charing cross. He said he had received it from Colonel L y ster for money lent, and he wished to get it cashed. Mr. M'Dowal: called at the Ship Hotel, Charing-cross, in con sequence of a note left for him, and gave money for the cheque. Edwards told M'D. that it was for money lent to Colonel Lyster. Cross-examined—Did not see the cheque given at Hor tonbury-hill. He was there, and played at hazard. The dice were produced, not by witness, but by Col. Lyster, who said he had given a guinea for them. Edwards did not play. The Colonel lost under 40/. Pen and ink were called for, in consequence of a dispute between him and witness. The Colonel said he would shoot witness in the morning, if he did not play with him on his word. They did not play any more, after the paper was brought in. He remem bered the waiter coming in when Colonel Lyster had the poker in his hand. The Colonel then said, " The gentle man has dice in his hand, and I am determined to have them." Witness threw them down, saying, " You know they are your own. They afterwards made up the quarrel, but did not play again. He had been at Doncaster with Mr. Edwards, who was a private gentle ern. He (witness) had heard that his father had been a tailor. Never had been at 72 in the Quadrant, except getting the check cashed, and once since. He did not know it was a play-house. Witness was living on an allowance of 10/. a month from his father, who resided at Blackrock, near Dublin. On the night of this play he won 35/. There was a good deal of wine drunk. M'Dowal paid a 100/. note, eight 10/., and 20 sovereigns for the check ;it was about half-past 9 o'clock. Mr. HUMPHREYS replied—He was not surprised that they had seen such an exhibition as had just been shown them. It would be strange indeed if parties such as these could not have induced some of their convenient friends to try and help them out of this scrape. Here is one of the conspirators, who was a helper at the concoction of the cheque. Would it not have been strange that Colonel Lyster should have given a cheque at Doncaster, dated on the particular night of this dinner. Then what a lame account the witness rsave of the use to which pen, ink, and paper were put ; and how was it contradicted by the evidence of the waiter. It was clear that the Colonel had been cleaned out when the pen and ink were called for. The waiter had been out for near an hour, when be came in and saw the parties struggling:. What had they been doing all the time ? Was it not quite clear that they had been at play with the money advanced upon the cheque? Why was not Mr. Edwards produced by the other side ? why did he keep out of the way so that the defendant might not subpcena him ? They all knew the difficulty of getting evidence in these hell cases. The defendant had got one ; they had induced a Mr. Campbell to come forward ; he was actually in Court, when a fine trick was played, after the Jury were sworn all the witnesses were or dered out of Court ; Mr. Dignum was walking up and down, and when Mr. Campbell was called he was not forthcoming. Who had an interest in his absence, but Mr. M'Dowal and his satellites? He felt confident that now the whole case was before them, they would make the con spiring parties be satisfied with the plunder they had al ready despoiled the defendant of. Mr. Baron GURNEY summed up the evidence. The whole question in the cause was as to the relative credit they would give to the evidence of the waiter, and that of Mr. Francis, the young man of 24 who was living on an independence. of 10/. a month derived from his father, and who upon that frequented Doncaster. If they did not believe the evi dence of Mr. Francis, then the plaintiff had proved no con - sideration at all. - One remark he would make. Suppose o ne of the Jury was to see a friend getting a payment of 2001. it would be 20 chances to one if he could possibly tell afterwards in what way the money had been paid ; yet he had never seen in one of these cas es b u t it was particu larly remarked and minutely described of what the :pay ment consisted. The Jury consulted a moment, and returned a verdict for the defendant. ,n- CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) William Thomas was indicted for stealing on the 31st of October a liquor case, the goods of John Edwards. — Verdict—Not Guilty. (Before Lord DENMAN and Mr. JUSTICE VAUGHAN.) Jane Hale was put to the bar upon an indictment for having on the 12th of November murdered a male infant, of whom she had been recently delivered, by suffocating the same. In a second count she was charged with having committed the murder by cutting the throat of the child with a sharp instrument. The prisoner who is a person of rather an interesting appearance, seemed much affected during the progress o f the investigation. Mr. BODKIN conducted the prosecution, and Mr. CAR RINGTON appeared for the defence. Elizabeth Seymour—l am a nurse in the family of Mrs. Jeffrey. She lives in the parish of Stoke Newington. I know the prisoner. She was in his service since May last as servant of all work. She is about twenty years of age. I have no reason to know of her being married. In conse quence of her appearance, I taxed her with being pregnant about a month before the 19th of November. She denied it. She received notice to quit the service. That notice would expire on the evening of the 19th of November. I saw her on Saturday morning between seven and eight o'clock. I saw her in the parlour, apparently unable to move. She was sitting in a chair. She complained of a pain in her back. She was so ill that she was obliged to go up to her room. In consequence of this I thought it pro per to mention to my mistress what had occurred. I went to her about nine o'clock, and again between ten and eleven o'clock. The first time I opened the door, I then saw her standing up dressed. She was packing her clothes. I asked if she was preparing to go ? She said—Yes. On the second occasion she was engaged in the same way. I observed stains of blood on the floor close by where I stood. I asked what was the mean ing of the stains. She said something had come from her. I told her her misercss had gone out to bring her a phy sician. She said she did not want one. When I went down stairs I found the doctor there. He went to her room. I did not go with him. Sarah Jeffrey—l am the wife of Mr. Thomas Jeffrey ; he resides at Stoke Newington. The prisoner was in my service. I gave her notice to leave in consequence of a suspicion of her pregnancy, which she denied. From what I heard from the nurse I went to the prisoner's room on the morning of the 19th of November. She was there, and appeared to be in great pain. I said I thought she was in labour. She said she was not. She was then standing. I gave her some brandy and water. When last I went to her room I found her on the bed. She com plained of no particular pain. I told her I would go for the doctor. I did not notice any spots of blood on the floor. Cross-examined—While the prisoner was in my service she conducted herself very well. She was three years in her former place. I received a good character. I under stand her father has lived sixteen years in one employment. I was in the house all the morning of the 19th of Novem ber, except while I went for the physician. I heard no scream or cry of an infant child. To Lord DENMAN—The prisoner was apparently of a humane disposition. George Drayton—l am a surgeon, attending the family of Mr. Jeffrey. On Saturday, Nov. 19, I was called on by Mrs. Jeffrey ; I went to the bed-room of the prisoner. I saw her standing in the middle of the room ; a box was quite near her. I asked her what she was doing? She said she was preparing to go away, upon which I remarked that she was too ill to go, and she replied she was then quite well—nature had returned. The witness having stated that he examined the prisoner's person, and having described its appearance, proceeded to say that he supposed she was delivered of an infant, and he told her what he thought. She at first denied it, but afterwards admitted the fact. She told me it was under the bed. I found it between the bed and the bed clothes ; it was wrapped in a stuff cover ing ; the parcel was not altogether concealed ; when I re moved the covering I saw the head and face of a child ; there was a gash on the neck. I sent for a policeman di rectly. I did not remove the infant. I have no doubt it was then dead. I afterwards examined it ; the limbs were quite flexible ; they were not then cold. I suppose the child died about half an hour before I had seen it. I told the prisoner, when the police came, that it would save her uneasiness and them trouble if she would say where was the instrument with which she had done the deed. She then pointed to where it was found. There was the appearance of some blood upon it, but not much. The witness said that he made a second examination of the body of the infant on Monday, the 21st—it had the appearance of a full-grown child. There was a bruise upon the face, the neck, and on the back part of the head; the incision in the throat was an inch and three quarters long. Mr. Robinson, a surgeon, and I made the second examination ; we concluded that the wound in the throat could not have caused death ; all the internal parts were perfectly healthy, and no appearance of disease. From all the circumstances of the case, my opinion is, that the child when perfectly separated from the mother was alive. Mr. Robinson, the surgeon, gave similar testimony. William Epps, a policeman, swore that, being in the room with the prisoners, and a nurse who was in attend ance on her on Sunday, the 20th of November, he heard a conversation, in which Jane Hale said she knew she de served punishment. The nurse left the room for gruel, and she then said to witness, " It's a bad job. What was Itodo ? I concealed it from my mistress all along ; I went down to get breakfast, and found myself so unwell that I was obliged to return to my room. I took a knife with me ; when the child was born I cut its throat, and when I would be able I intended going away and despatch ing myself and it together." She said the father was the driver of an omnibus. The case for the prosecution here closed, and the pri soner, being much exhausted, was removed from the bar. During her absence Lord DENMAN said that upon the two points on which it was necessary to satisfy the jury— namely, that the child was born alive, and that the prisoner had done some act to cause its death—the Court were o opinion the evidence regarding them was so very inconclu sive that the case was now ripe for the adjudication of the jury, if they viewed the testimony in the same light as did their Lordships. The Jury expressed themselves satisfied, and without he sitation acquitted the prisoner of the capital offence. The prisoner's former mistress gave her an excellent cha racter for humanity and previous good conduct. After a few observations from Lord DENMAN, the jury found her guilty under the 9th George IV., of concealing the birth of the child, and the Court said, the case being a very serious one, they should pass the severest sentence the aw allowed, which was an imprisonment for two years. LITERATURE. A PEDESTRIAN TOUR OF 1,347 MILES THROUGH WALES AND ENGLAND. By Pedestres, and Sir Clavilero Woodenpeg, Knight of Snowdon. In 2 Vols. Sanders and Otley, London, 1836. "My book is published.—l wrote not for fame — neither for fortune :—I will not say I have either— no matter. lam selfish enough to avow that I have written for my own amusement, and not with the studied intention of amusing others." We quote from the Preface of the work before us. If the author be sincere in his disregard of fame and fortune, we are heartily glad of it for his own sake. To hope for nothing is a sure way to escape the pangs of disap pointment. With respect to the book being written for the persmaal amusement of the author, it appears to us that there is a great deal more of brazen effron tery than of selfishness in such an avowal. We have had the misfortune to meet with many books written by authors for their own amusement ; and we can answer for it that the world would have been no loser, had they kept such a mode of killing time a secret to pos terity. Those authors who write to amuse themselves are very apt to prove tiresome to others, and we regret that Pedestres cannot be classed among the few ex ceptions. Society does not interfere with the amuse ments of any class of persons ; but surely its passive ness in the affair is not a sufficient pretext for robbing it of its time, by compelling it to take cognizance of such silly trifles as a fiftieth rate imitation of Tristram Shandy, without a shadow of Sterne's humour, erudi dition, pathos, or sentiment ? Pedestres has read the works of Rabelais, of Cervantes, and of Sterne, to little advantage, if he mistake the mere distortion of lan guage for wit—random remarks, and the jumbling of ideas for humour—and the whine of a boarding-school Miss for sentiment. To draw such characters as Gran gousier, Gargantua, the good Pantagruel, Panurge, and Friar John—as Don Quixote, Sancho Panza, the Curate a nd the Barber—as Yorick, My Uncle Toby, Corporal Trim, Doctor Slop, and the Widow Wadman—an au thor must have both genius, and a determination to do more than write merely for his own amusement. We are, however, willing to admit that the " Pedestrian Tour" has here and there passages of considerable merit:; and that there is more than an ordinary show of antiquarian research in the description of the old ruins throughout England and Wales. It is said that the United States Government intend to furnish a substitute for their copper coins now in use. It is thought that the new coins will be composed of that mix ture of copper and silver common in many countries of the Continent of Europe, and which long use has demonstrated to answer perfectly well the purposes required. Besides the cent, which will be of the very convenient size of the silver dime, half cents and pieces of the value of two cents and a half will be of the same metallic composition.— Montreal Paper. A temporary cessation in the working of the coal mines in this neighbourhood has taken place, in consequence of the coal-masters having found it necessary to make a slight reduction in the rate of wages. It will be recollected that a rise took place a few months ago, and it is not ex pected that the reduction will be resisted beyond a day or two.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. About half-past ten o'clock on Wednesday night a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Hind, brush maker, No. 47, Rosoman-street, Clerkenwell, ;which burnt part of the roof off the workshops, an d greatly damaged the stock. The property is insured. In the year 1833, during harvest, there was an ave rage of twenty-five men employed on the roads by the parish. It is now with difficulty the Surveyor can obtain hands to break the stone !—Lincoln Gazette.
