In 6,000 Shares of 51. each. Deposit 11. per Share. The erection of the woks of this Company having been com menced, the Directors adopt this mode of apprising Hotel and Tavern-keepers, Licensed Victuallers, and consumers of Flint glass in general, in London and its environs, that they have ap portioned a certain number of Shares exclusively to them ' • and therefore, fn order to secur e th e a d van t ages to b e derived, it is desirable that an early application be made. The holders of one or more Shares will have any quantity of glass supplied full 15 per cent. cheaper than it can be purchased from a retailer or hawker; besides which, they will receive an annual dividend mpon the amount of their capital invested of more tnan fifteen per cent. The manufacture of Flint Glass has hitherto been carried on in London only to a very limited extent, the supply being prin cip•slly from the North of England. This Company is formed n'A only to give consumers a cheaper article, but to encourage 'the production of Glass in the immediate neighbourhood of its consumption ; and as'all the materials required for its manufac ture can be obtained at lower prices in the London Market, this (combined with the immense saving of package, freight, breakage, &c. &c. when brought from the North), will much more than compensate for the extra price of coals and labour; it is therefore evident that this most important article can be produced cheaper to consumers on the spot, than when brought from so great a distance. The site of ground selected for the Manufactory is most eli gibly situate, being immediately on the banks of the river Lea, at Bromley, near Bow, and has been obtained upon very advan tageous terms to the Company. In every department of this undertaking, the strictest atten tion will be paid to economy, so that the shareholders may de pend upon receiving the full benefit of the capital invested. Applications for the remaining shares to be made at the bankers, Messrs. Ladbroke, Kingscote, and Co. ; Messrs. Wire and Child, solicitors, 9, St. Swithins-lane, or at the Com pany's Office, 117, Bishopsgate-street Within. By Order of the Board, J. HENDREY, Sec pro tern. UNION FLINT -GLASS COMPANY.

A PHILOSOPHICAL TOPER.—A well-dressed,•good-tem pered-looking fellow, named George Freak, was brought before Sir Peter Laurie, the locum tenens for the Lord Mayor. He had been. remanded to the Compter by the Lord Mayor for having not yet recovered from a drunken it, in which he had disturbed the quiet inhabitants by sun dry vociferations. Upon that occasion the following scene took place : The LORD MAYOR (to the policeman who had the de fendant in custody): Did he strike or abuse you ?—Po (iceman : No, my Lord. He was in the best temper in the world, but nothing could equal the noise he made,_ Defendant (after a tipsy shake of the head): Why, my Lord, the fact is, I got comfortably seated in the Guild hall Shades last night, and a pleasanter night I never spent since I was born, for the punch they make there bangs all the punch I ever drank. It is quite irresistible. If you had been there— The LORD MAYOR But people are not to be disturbed even by such convivialists as you.—Defendant : If they did as I do, my Lord, they would not be disturbed —( A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR : Then you will probably not be dis. turbed if I send you back to the Compter to get sober ? Defendant : Not a bit, my Lord. But you don't suppose that lam drunk ? The LORD MAYOR-411 talk to you on that subject to morrow. You, and men like you, ought to have the fear of seven days in the House of Correction before you.— Defendant : Why, my Lord, to a man who is determined to find enjoyment everywhere the House of Correction has no terrors. The defendant was then sent back to the Compter. On Saturday, upon being brought before Sir Peter Laurie, who was informed by Mr Hobler of what took ;Awe on the preceding day, the defers nt appeared at the bar perfectly sober, bet as much a phiWepher as ever. Sir PETER LAURIE—WeII, Mr. Freak, you see what it is to get drunk in the City; you've bad a second night in the Compter ?--Defendant ; Yes, my Lord, and I never spent a more delightful night in my life.—(Laughter.) Sir PETER LAURIE Delightful I—Defendant Yes, my Lord, it was delightful ; all nay companions delighted me, and it would appear that I delighted them, for they were going to sign a memorial to your Lordship requesting that you would be so good as to remand me for a month.— (Laughter.) Sir PETER LAURIE—I hope your delight was in your own reflections upon the new course of life you intend to substitute in the place of drunkenness, and not arising from any beverage you took ?—Defendant ; They did all they could to gratify me; and I do assure you that I was not the person to refuse good treatment. Sir PETER LAURIE—I dare say you treated them?— Defendant—No ; I left all the money in the station house, where I have no doubt the inspector is looking pro perly about it. Sir PETER LAURIE—NO doubt of it. such a case. Defendant—l trust that it has been kept separate from any other money, and that an exact account will be ren dered. Sir PETER LAURlE—Certainly. Inspector, what money had the gentleman about him ?—lnspector ; Threepence, my Lord.—(Loud laughter, in which the defendant and Sir Peter most heartily joincd.) . Defendant—l had some valuable property about me, however. Inspector—The gentleman had two pieces of half smoked cigars, and a small string of dried sprats.— (Laughter.) Defendant—The sprats are the finest thing in the world to relish a cold pot of heavy, my Lord. They are im portant to me, for I want some provocative. Sir PETER LAURIE- Well, you certainly have neither a heavy heart nor a heavy purse—but I must beg that you will not drink to such excess either heavy or light wet. Defendant—The police used me so well, my Lord, that I am determined never to give them the trouble to take care of me again.—( Laughter.) Sir P. LAURIE —Then you will promise me that you will become a teetotaller? Defendant—No, my Lord—that's melancholy madness—in media tutissimus ibis—my opinion is that the most unexceptionable character is the man who gets neither drunk or sober.—( Laughter.) Sir P. LAURIE—I hope I shall never see you here again. You may go now, and don't forget to take your money with you—it will procure bread and beer, and you can breakfast upon your dried sprats.—(Laughter.) The defendant then declared that he was much indebted to the Lord Mayor for having sent him to the Compter, where he had made so many pleasant acquaintances; and he thanked Sir Peter Laurie, who was so worthy a locum tenens as to exercise his brief but large authority in the most kindly manner. fondant 40s. and costs, and ordered his offence and convic tion to be indorsed on his license.

He raised his eyes, and at the same instant was struck by a flash, which he at once discovered had been caused by some person in the attic of an opposite tradesman's shop, who had, by the mischievous means of a lens, contrived to direct the rays of light, from the sun right upon his countenance. The effect of the last shock was such as nearly to deprive him of his eyesight, and to force him to have recourse to his doctor, who told him that had he not possessed very strong the effect of it would have been to have struck him bl Mr. DYER inquired if applicant could identify the indi vidual, and if he could swear that the injury which had been inflicted had been done maliciously?—Mr.Willsher said he knew the shop from whence the occurrence had originated, but it was totally out of his power to swear that the suffering he at present endured was wilfully inflicted.

Oa Saturday at the usual meeting of the Marylebone Vestry, Mr. A. Daniell in the chair, A Deputation waited upon the Board for the purpose of presenting a petition which had been signed by four hundred and eighty inhabitants of Oxford -street, and the streets adjoining, praying that the Vestry would be pleased to grant permission for the Equitable Gas Com pany to lay down pipes in Oxford -street, for the purpose of supplying the inhabitants of Marylebone with gas at a lower rate than they were served under the existing monopoly. Mr. JACKSON wished to know if the Equitable Com pany vrould be prepared to light the whole parish as Oxford-street was the cream of it, and the other parts were r.ot so profitable. One of the deputation replied that he understood the Company would be willing to do so after a short period. Mr. GIBSON said, unless the Equitable Company would be prepared at once to take the whole parish, if the Vestry consented to let them into Oxford -street, they would subject themselves to the liability of the Charter and Imperial Gas Companies putting out all their public lights and refusing to supply them. Mr. THEOBALD wished to know what amount of sav ing would result to the consumers if the Vestry agreed to the application ? One of the Deputation sakl, the saving would be 15 per cent., which had been the result of competition in the other parishes where it had been introduced. Mr. FREEMAN wished to know if the Equitable Company was likely to coalesce with those already ex isting in Marylebone, as that would bo a great point of consideration. Another of the Deputation belonging:to the Com pany said they were ready to enter into a bond to that effect. Mr. GIBSON moved that the memorial should be re ferred to a Committee, which having been seconded, Mr. JACKSON contended that it would be a folly to subject the eighty miles of paving to being torn up in the parish without a guarantee that the Company were in a position to carry the lighting out. He would move as an amendment, " That as soon as the Equitable Com pany showed themselves to be in a position to light the whole of the parish lights, the Vestry would be most happy to entertain their application." Mr. HOBBERT seconded the amendment. Some discussion ensued, and the original motion was carried by a large majority. THE FINANCES OF THE PARISH. Mr. JACKSoN called the attention of the Vestry to the state of the finances of the parish, and the extra ordinary delay occasioned by the collectors in getting in the rates. When the rates were reduced to the present low ebb, it was expected they would have come more freely into the coffers of the Vestry than previously ; but although they have ten collectors, he found that during the past week but 1,470/. had been collected, instead of at least four or five thousand pounds. At the present time the parish was in debt to the amount of twenty-six thousand pounds ; and instead of the members of the board quibbling about the supply of half-a dozen pounds of candles to a church, they had better urge on the collectors to get in the rates. Were it not for the kindness of their bankers the parish would be in a very pretty pre dicament. The week before last they had honoured a draft fcr four or five thousand pounds without the slight est notice, charging only five per cent., when, in the'present state of the Money Market, they could have got in the City a great deal more. Mr. Jackson concluded by moving " That the collectors should be urged on to an immediate collection of the rates." Mr. GrasoN seconded the motion, and said he should follow it up by a vote of thanks to the bankers. The resolution being carried, Mr. GrasoN moved, and Mr. JACKSON seconded, a b v a o n t e of ha k ers fo nk s for the h e t o Sir Claude readiness! with Scott and which they the parish invariably made the advances required by the Vestry, which was also carried unanimously. tent of the Seraskier, after his victory at Nezib t— gfesememi " FLAN OF THE MARCH OF THE IMPERL PRICE 5(1.

BOW- STREET, MORE CONVICTIONS UNDER THE MF.TkO/OLITAN POLICE Acr. —Mr. William Carpenter Evans, the owner of the Grand Hotel, Covent-garden, attended before Mr. Hall, the new Chief Magistrate at this office, to answer to a complaint laid by the police, which charged him with keep ing open his house far the sale of spirits on Sunday, the Ist September, before the hour of one o'clock at noon, con trary to the provisions of the new Metropolis Police Act. Mr. Mosely, a solicitor, appeared on behalf of the de fendant. Mullins, an inspector of police, stated that on Sunday morning last, at one o'clock, he went into the house of the defendant, and on entering the supp(r room, he found about fifty persons there, smoking, eating, and drinking. This being the whole of the case in support of the in formation, Mr. Mosely objected that the case was not within the terms of the Act, which, he submitted, in pro viding that no licensed victualler should open bis house before one o'clock on Sunday, meant that a new opening should take place. There was no doubt that there had been a continuous opening of the house from Saturday night. Mr. HALL said that a decision 'had already been given on this point, in which he entirely concurred. The objection could not for one moment be supported. Mr. Mosely then contended that, although the Magis trate might deem the case to be within the precise terms of the statute, he could not say that it came within its spirit and meaning. The house which the defendant occupied was one devoted to the reception and entertainment of persons of the highest respectability. It was an hotel, and it would be very hard if . the magistrates were to decide that persons on their way home fr om the theatres, or other places of amusement, were to be precluded from calling in and getting their supper. That was the purpose to which the coffee-room in which the offence was alleged to have been committed was devoted, and it was frequented by Members of Parliament, even Noblemen, occasionally, and persons of the greatest respectability. A distinction, he submitted, must be drawn between houses of the de scription of that kept by the defendant and the common gin-shops, whose vices the Legislature no doubt intended to control. Mr Hann inquired whether the defendant's house was respectably conducted and frequented ? Inspector Mullins answered in the affirmative. Mr. HALL asked whether any noise or inconvenience to the neighbourhood was caused by the guests coming into the streets in a state of intoxication ? The Inspector said that occasionally some slight disturbance took place, but this was not of frequent occurrence, and upon the present occasion he knew of no noise having been caused. Mr. HALL said he was glad to hear that the house was well managed, as such a fact must of course in some degree affect the amount of the penalty he should inflict. He thought, however, that the circumstance of the respectabi lity of the house could not affect the case, for, as he under stood the law, every house of this description, from the highest to the lowest, came within the statute. All were alike licensed as victualling houses, and even if this were not so, the very general term§ of the Act would include them. The provision was that no licensed victualler " or other person," should open his house, and therefore the case was clearly provided for. Mr. Mosely inquired what course Mr. Evans must pursue in the event of one of his lodgers coming borne and requir_ ing to be admitted? His house was conducted as an hotel, and it would be absurd to suppose that he could control those gentlemen who had sleeping apartments in it, as to the hour at which they should return home. Mr. HALL must decline answering a question involving a point which was not before him to decide. Mr. Mosely pointed out that all hotel-keepers might, if the law were strictly construed against them, be rendered liable to penalties in the event of their admitting their g w u e e u s l t d s a t alate be asamenable hour, t e e n d i t the s ter in C s l a a r s e n t d b o e n , e i n w e ß st o n g d i s shop.n treet It would be hard to convict in the present case, too, be cause it might be that those persons who were in the house were travellers. Mr. HALL said that if that were proved to him, t h e case would of course be deemed to be within the exception of the Act. Mr. Mosely admitted that he co uld _ gi ve no proof in support of his suppositi on, but he Inquired what Mr. Evans should do if any gentleman came to his house and asked for a bed after twelve o'clock °if Saturday night; must he refuse him and turn him away ? It might be that the person was locked out from his own house, and must he walk the streets? Mr. HALL repeated that he would not decide upon any suppositious case. In this instance, as it was the first which bad come before him, he should pro ceed leniently, and he hoped that his doing so would be a caution to the defendant, and that be would take care that his house should be better conducted in future. The defendant could not now plead ignorance in excuse, and knowing that the Magistrates had the power to proceed, he trusted that he would not disregard the warning which had been held out to him. He should inflict the miti gated penalty of 405., and ss. 6d. costs. The fine was houses. er N r immediately paid. Several other licensed victu a llers CAUTION TO OM B George Anderson, the driver of one of Blore's P addi ngton onthibusses, was were fined during the day for allowing gambling i s in their summoned for furious driving. The defendant pleaded guilty. Mr. HALL cautioned him that he had the power to send him to the House of Correction, without fining him, under the New Act, if he thought proper. He hoped that the repetition of such an offence of which the defendant had hem guilty would not compel him to take such a step, but he a'sured him that he should have no hesitation in pro ceeding with severity in the event of his warning being disregarded by him or his fellows. Having learned the circumstances. of the case from the constable by whom it was witnessed, and through whose instrumentality the complaint was laid, the worthy Magistrate fined the de " There exist in France," says La Gazette de France, "1,663 bridges, having. 7,825 arches; 6,649,530 dwelling-houses ; 82.945 wind or water-mills; 4,425 forges and furnaces, 38,000 manufactories, and 98,188 public edifices.

DEATH FROM Fatotrr.—On Friday an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, coroner, and a jury, at the George public-house, Commercial-road East, on the body of Mr. Shaw, aged 43, licensed victualler. A gas pipe exploded on Tuesday morning. The alarm threw deceased into fits. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased died from natural causes, accelerated by the fright he sustained by an ex plosion of gas. ANOTHER DEATH FROM POISONOUS MUSH kooms.—An inquest was held at Ickham on Friday, before Mr. Delassaux, on the body of, a little girl, named Chris tiana Hotness, whose death was occasioned by eating mush rooms. It appeared that the deceased and another girl had gathered the mushrooms in Lee Priory Park, cooked and eaten them on Thursday evening last • that both chil dren were tak en ill d ur i ng the night, and the deceased continuing so on Saturday, Mr. Sankey, surgeon, of Wing ham, attended her, which he continued to do until her death, which took place on Tuesday morning, A post mortem examination was made by Mr. Sankey, from whose evidence it appeared the deceased died from the effects of congestion on the brain, occasioned by some acrid narcotic poison, which had been previously taken, and which might have been produced from mushrooms. Verdict—" Acci dental death, from eating mushrooms of a posonous qua lity." The other child, we are happy to find, has re covered.—Kentish Observer. THE CAPITAL OF PERSIA.—Do you expect from me an account of the capital I have just quitted, after a residence so much longer than I anticipated ? Verily, I have little more to say of it than has es caped my pen. It is a fortified place—that is encom passed by a mud wall, about four miles in circumference, with towers and a formidable ditch, but possesses scarcely one attractive or marking feature. As in all Persian towns, its bazars are the only streets it can boast of; its other paths of communication are but crooked and winding alleys, so narrow that it is dangerous to meet even with a loaded ass; sometimes these alleys have a paved gutter in the centre, flanked with high and irregular banks; in other places, from the unsound condition of a water conduit below the surface, holes are frequent, a circumstance which is pregnant with evil and broken legs to many a horse and mule. In all cases they are full of nuisances and, abominations, not the smallest of which is the number of squalid beggars who lie just under your horses' feet as you pace along. The bazars are extensive, and tolerably well filled with goods as well as people, yet they make but little show ; there is not a minaret or tower in the place to give tffect to the distant view; and of the two domes which it possesses, that belonging to the Shah's mosque is alone to be perceived by the approaching traveller, from having a little gilded cap upon its head. 'Tehran, in fact, like the dynasty and government, is exhibiting those premonitory symptoms of decay which prog nosticate a total breaking up of the body politic, unless prevented by speedy aid. There is no brilliancy— no splendour —no bustle of' youth about the place. Like its King, it is becoming old and careless about such things; and, like his Gov ernment, i t is falling to pieces. The ruins occasioned by time or earth quakes remain unrestored, and little of the hum of business or the excitement of enterprise is to be heard or seen. Even when the King is in the Palace, its great square exhibits scarcely any movement ; where the bold gholaums of Aga Mahomed Khan were wont to glitter, and his victorious troops to muster, you see some straggling and ragged toffuochees crawli ng a b out ; or a few horses—those of the ministers and o ffi c i a l s i n atten dance—lobbing their heads in the sun un d er t h e s l eepy in fluence of the place, with a lazy groom in the saddle. An air of dilapidation is stealing even over the roy a l dwell ings, and there is scarcely house i n the palace, so far as I have seen, that is kept in thorough repair. The late shows and amusements were an effort called forth, by a particular occasion, and will probably but deepen by con trast the monotonous dulness that will succeed them.— Fraser's Winter Journey to Persia and Khorasan. HATTON-GARDEN. James Boyer, a police-officer, No. 142 E, was charged with robbing nearly thirty of his brother officers, and also with robbing an eating-house-keeper. The prisoner was in a house of the Commissioners of Police with other officers, all of whom had been robbed in the most mysterious manner, except the prisoner, who had managed so adroitly to get into their good opinion, that he was not in the smallest degree suspected. The policemen had lost besides clothes, watches, and miscellaneous articles, some 10/., others from 10s. to 5/. Last week the prisoner was seen with a pair of boots belonging to an officer, who owned them, but Bowyer refused to give them up, and swore they were his. This was complained against, and he was taken into cus tody, when, on searching the pawnbrokers' shops, all sorts of stolen articles were found, which had been pawned by the prisoner. An eating-house-keeper stated that the prisoner, who had gained his confidence, bad stolen a small box, containing articles of jewellery, &c. The prisoner, who made no defence, was fully commit ted for trial. Henry Branch was charged by Mr. John Roupell with ,he following unprovoked assault. The complainant stated that as he was walking along Gray's Inr.lane on Friday, the prisoner came before him, and squaring up to him struck him a violent blow in the mouth, knocking put one of his front teeth. Having a large sum of money about him, and a crowd immediately collecting, he went away, when the prisoner followed him into Lamb's Conduit-street, and again assaulted him, when he gave him in charge to a policeman. The Magistrate said he had no doubt but that the pri soner intended to rob Mr. Roupell ; but, as he was not known as a regular thief, he would fine him 3/. ; which being unable to pay, he sentenced him to one month's hard labour. QUEEN-SQUARE. William Brown, a lad aged 16, was charged by Mr. Butt, solicitor, of Millbank-street, Westminster, with several acts of embezzlement. The prosecutor stated, that up to the discovery of the frauds complained of, he had placed the fullest confi dence in the prisoner, whom he believed to have lately formed improper female connections. The first case he would prove against him was, that on the 26th of July he had fraudulently appropriated a sum of money entrusted to him to pay the poor-rates. The prisoner was sent with two sovereigns to Mr. Alderson, the collector of the poor rates, to pay him 275. ; on his return, he told the prose cutor that the collector would send the receipt. The col lector having called on the 20th of August, to inform Mr. Butt that he would lose his vote if the rate was not paid, was the first announcement he had received of the fraud. The prosecutor having proved the above charge, then stated that he sent the prisoner with 21. to pay to Mr. Parkins, one of his tradesmen. Since then Mr. Parkins had called upon him for some money, stating that he had only received IL This charge was also proved; and the prisoner, having refused to say anything in his defence, was remanded until Monday. UNION-HALL. Henry Woodroffe and James Burton, two of the lamp_ trimmers of the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, were charged with robbing the proprietors of that establishment of illu mination lamps, &c. Mr. Frederick Gye, one of the proprietors, stated that they had lost upwards of 13,000 lamps, and having de tected the prisoners in attempting to t a k e out lamps and cotton concealed on their persons, he was determined, as a terror to others, to make an example of them. Woodroffe, who bad been 25 years in the complainant's service, begged hard for his lenient consideration. Mr. TRAIL said, if Mr. Gye urged it he would commit the prisoners for trial. , The complainant ieplied that, in consequence of the long services of the prisoners in the Royal Gardens, he would recommend them to the lenient consideration of the Ma gistrate, who sentenced them to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. TVORSHIP-STREET. WILFUL DAMAGE.—William Muller, a respectable looking man, was placed at the bar, charged with wilfully destroying the blinds of a house inhabited by Mr. Hunt, a skin-dresser in Spitalfields. It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution, that while Mr. Hunt, who is of the Jewish persuasion, was at seven o'clock on Friday evening engaged in prayer, preparatory to the commencement of the Jewish Sabbath, the prisoner's wife knocked at his door, and demanded the sum of 1/. 4s. 6d., which was due to the prisoner from the prosecutor. The prosecutor's daughter informed her that Mr. Hunt was at prayers, as it was Sabbath, and said that he had desired her to tell Mrs. Muller to call on Monday, and he would settle with her. Mrs. Muller then commenced a volley of abuse against Hunt, and went to fetch her husband, the prisoner, with whom she returned, and created a disturbance. Hunt desired a young man named Nathan Levi to shut the shut ters ; on which Muller stood against the shutters, and pre vented their being shut ; at the same time lifting up the •window, thrusting his fist through the blind, and breaking it, ; while the wife was making use of abusive language, and creating a great disturbance. A policeman coming by at the time took Muller into custody. The prisoner, in his defence, denied breaking the blinds, but admitted preventing the shutting the shutters. He said the money had been owing him for eleven months. Mrs. Muller, a little woman of a most vinegar aspect, whose tongue travelled at a railroad pace, was here ex amined, but not on oath. She denied that she bad made use of abusive language, but stated that Mr. Hunt had abused her and spit in hor face, and that his daughter also had abused her. Mr. BROUGHTON unfortunately asked Hunt's daughter if she had abused Mrs. Muller. This was the signal for a scene of confusion of tongues, which turned the office for a time into a perfect Babel, a strange mixture of the Jewish and Christian languages, which might very properly be denominated a " Babylonist dialect." At length, in order to preserve any thing like silence, Mr. Broughton was obliged to station a policeman between the contending ladies, and then proceeded with the case. The prisoner called one witness, who contradicted the testimony of the prosecutor and his witness, and said, Hunt himself had thrust his elbow through the blind. Mr. BROUGHTON said there was a palpable contradiction between the evidence for the prosecution and that for the defence ; but as it was admitted, by the prisoner himself, that he had prevented the shutting the shutters, which was in itself an offence, and as the balance of evidence seemed to go to prove that he had destroyed the blind, ho sen tenced him to pay Bs. for the damage he had done. _ _ The prosecti . to - r and his witnesses then left the court, and Mrs. Muller rushed after them. _ Mr. Batouourolv ordered her, to be detained for ten minutes, or there would be a renewal of the disturbance outside the office; she had better sit down until she was cooler. Mrs. Muller, in a very agitated manner, and with a flushed countenance—l am quite cool, Sir; I—l—l am—not at all in a passion, Sir The policeman handed her to a seat, where she remained some time, fidgetting about and biting her lips, but getting gradually cooler. She was permitted to quit the office after the expiration of a quarter of an hour. Bridget Rubinson, alias 'Etty Flanighan, and Mary Davison, two notorious shoplifters, were charged with stealing a till, containing a quantity of silver, from the Wool Pack public house, Briek.lane, St. Luke's. The two women went into the house and called for a 'pint of beer, where they were followed by two desperate looking fellows, whom the publican ordered out of his house. Just at this moment the prisoner Robinson pretended to be in convulsions, and feigned so well that the publican's family left the bar to assist her, when the fellows rushed off with the till; the others having made their escape, the fainting lady was given into custody, and Miss Davies hav ing, with generous devotion, sought news of her friend's fate at the office door, was apprehended and placed beside her. The police were ordered to make inquiry after the men, and the prisoners were remanded for a week, that they might be apprehended. THE HARVEST. The country papers of Saturday supply the subjoined intelligence : A very considerable portion of the wheat and barley crops were secured on the first four days of last week and the three last in the preceding one, and a large breadth of mown barley, with some wheat (northward of this city), would have been carted and stacked this week, if the weather had been propitious ; but for the last seven days there has been, unfortunately, more or less rain, to prolong the harvest. This day (Friday) a favourable change took place.—Norfolk Chronicle. The harvest in this county (Nottingham) is progress ing but slowly, in consequence of the quantity of rain which has fallen ; during the intermission of fine weather the reapers are actively engaged, but the weather re mains gloomy and unsettled, and fears are entertained lest the crops should be injured. Nearly every news paper we have received refers to the effects of the wea- Cher upon the crops, with forebodings rather dismal, although the organs of the agriculturalists still maintain that the crops promise abundance. The long-continued showers have laid the crops not yet cut, and we are of opinion that the result cl the harvest will be far from a plentiful yield.—Nottingham Review. The weather in this neighbourhood, since our last publication, has been much broken and unsettled ; and a considerable quantity of rain has fallen. This un favourable circutnstance has caused a cessation in harvest operations ; and it is to be feared that con siderable injury will have to be sustained in several localities, particularly on the lower description of soils. The barley, in some situations, where it was impossible to remove it from the swathe, has sprouted to some extent ; and further injury will be occasioned unless the weather suddenly clears up. It has also been found impossible to lead that portion of the wheat crop which has been cut and placed in ricks, in consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather. Nor, we regret to add, at the time we are writing, are there any indications presented of a favourable change. —Doncaster Gazelle. About one-third of the grain is gathered in this county (Salop), and in moderate condition ; the harvest has been dilatory in consequence of rain, but no fatal mischief has yet been sustained. With respect to tbe produce of wheat, we differ from those extravagant ac counts which have been published in some newspapers, and hazard an opinion that the wheat crop will not turn out an average one in England and Wales. Sti mulated by the price, farmers have, no doubt, culti vated more wheat this year than usual, but many acres have been destroyed by floods—many, being laid down by storms, the heads of the wheat have no grains in them, and in many instances the beads are light, and the grains will be shrivelled. About 40 bushels of new Wheat were offered for sale at Wellington yesterday week, and some were offered on Saturday in this town —the prices asked were from 102. to 102. Shrewsbury Chronicle. In Cardi g anshire ,carried Merionethshire, and some parts of Montgomeryshire, little progress has been made. In the upper p ar t o f been ; but in the ea i r nte nt r h io e r o se f a the coast, county, wheat and h i a in Montgomeryshire the hay is nearly cleared. The corn crops look very good. In the neighbourhood of New town, and the lower part of the county, a great portion is down, but not much housed. The wet weather dur ing the past week has seriously retarded the harvest. • MORTON, AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY.—We have here a literary novelty of great interest. It might, with out impropriety, have been called the History of a Genius. The Atlas characterizes it as " An extremely clever work, detailing the freaks and fortunes of a youthful genius, spoiled by the admiration of relatives, excessive self-con ceit, and supposed superiority of intellect to the personages among whom his destiny has thrown him. It is so vivid—so photogenic—a portrait of an ardent, flighty, ambitious book-worm, ignorant of the world, of the real business of life, of the inadequacy of his own capacity to the fulfilment of his designs, and of the talents of those with whom he has to contend for eminence, that we would wish to see it in the hands of every ',genius' in the three kingdoms." At an inquest held on Friday, in Cromer-street, before Mr. Wakley, M. P., on the body of Catherine Moore, aged 72, who died of complicated disease, and who, although very poor and infirm, had never applied to the parish authorities for medical aid, the Coroner re marked that it was strange that the husband of the deceased had never solicited medical relief from the parish doctor, and inquired whether the parish (St. Pancras) was under the government of the New Poor-law Amendment Act? Foreman—No, Sir, we are under Hobhouse's Act. Hap pily we defeated the Poor-law Commissioners in this parish. Coroner—l am afraid you will not be able to pre vent their intermeddling with you, now that the Poor-law Continuance Bill and the Parochial Assessments Bill are passed. Foreman—We'll try our best to keep them en. tirely out of this parish. Coroner— How are the affairs of your parish now managed? Foreman—Excellently; and with reference to the subject of this inquiry, she might have had good and prompt and medical relief, bad she ap. plied for it. Coroner—l think it is a great pity that, when the affairs of the parish are well regulated under local acts, the Poor-law Commissioners should interfere. Well enough ought to be left alone. The Hon. Gentle• man mentioned several parishes that were now heavily rated to the poor, which formerly had not a single pauper on the parish books; amongst ot h ers, a par i s h near Bed ford in which, before the passing of the Poor-law A mend ment Act, there was not a single parish pauper ever known; the labourers were well paid, and when ill or dis abled a voluntary subscription was raised sufficient for their support. Verdict—Natural Death, with a censure on the husband for not having applied to the parish for medical aid. ATHENS, Aue. 19.—Things are getting worse and worse every day here. The capital has been lately wit ness of one of the most disgraceful scenes which was ever, perhaps, performed in it, even during the time of Turkish supremacy. Two notorious characters, who had long committed a series of murders, robberies, arson, and other crimes, had at length, through the vigilance of the gendarmerie, fallen into the hands of justice,and sufficient proof of their guilt being brought against them, they were sentenced by the criminal court, composed of an impartial jury, to suffer death by the guillotine. The day tar the execution was fixed for Saturday week, and the day before the executioner arrived from iEgina, who was himself a mauvais sijet, and who only escaped punishment himself for some robberies which he had committed, by accepting the office. He was still under surveillance, hut on his arrival at the Pyrmus, the gendarmes having left the house for a few minutes to get some refreshments, on their return found him murdered ! This is the second instance of an executioner having been murdered on the eve of an expected execution. The prisoners were respited for the moment till another man could be found to undertake the office ; for so strong is the prejudice of the Greeks against death by guillotine that for a long time no one was tempted by the large reward offered by Government to become Jack Ketch in ordinary to the King. At length a young man was found, and the day for the execution again fixed. A requisition was sent from the Al inis ter of Justice to the War-office, to ask for a body of troops to preserve order, and also workmen to put up the guillotine. Mi.: , happened the day before the execution. The I‘l4tister of War gave orders to the Commandant de Place to do the needful. He therefore immediately made inquiries where the guillotine was, but, to his surprise, no one could inform him. lie sent to the civil authorities—the Minister for the Interior referred him to the Governor of the Province—the Governor to the Demarch of Athens—the Dernteveli to the police— the police to the Governor of the }. -rison, but could obtain no information. At length, at A late hour in the evening, the guillotine was discovered itt R. warehouse at the Pyrieus ; and the Commandant scat a body of workmen to put it up on an open spot near the road from the Pyriens to Athens, during the night. The execution was to take place at five o'clock in the morning ; at the hour appointed the malefactors arrived, escorted by a strong body of gendarmerie, whilst a body of troops, which loaded arms, marched down to preserve order, and took up their position at a little distance. A large crowd bad assembled to witness ' the execution, among whom were a great many sailors and marines belonginr , to the United States line of-battle ship Ohio, and the other foreign ships of war ' in the harbour. Every thing being so far ready, they looked in vain for the Procureur du Roi, whose duty it was, according to law, to read publicly to the prisoners the sentence of the Court ; but no Procureur was there I An express was sent up to Athens, but he was not to be found. At length the Minister of Jus tice sent a lad with the sentence, the only person he could find that would undertake the task, and expose himself to the anger of the populace. This poor lad eras so overcome by his feelings that he could scarcely read it in an audible manner, so great was his agitation. After a delay of more than an hour had taken place, during which the two unhappy criminals were standing at the foot of the guillotine, orders were given 1 to proceed with the execution, and the temporary executioner commenced operations. Having bound them, and placed their heads under the fall, he at tempted to pull the string, but the instrument woad not drop, and after bungling about it for a quarter of an hour, he declared that he could not do it, and left the spot. A cry of " Shame, shame," ran through the as sembled crowd ; and one can imagine the feelings of the wretched criminals at being kept so long in a state of suspense. In their aeon/ of mind they called out to the gendarmes to shoot them, and thus put them out of their misery, and even offered to shoot each other if they would give theta pistols! This horrible state of things lasted for more than an hour, when Major Hane, who commanded the troops, sent up an officer immediately to make a report to the Commandant, Colonel Hess, who immediately went to the King, and commenting strongly on the unwarrant able neglect of taking proper . measures on the part of the department of Justice, and representing to his Majesty that the delinquents had actually suffered more than death, he obtained a Royal reprieve. There is but one opinion on this melancholy subject, and that is a mixture of anger and disgust at the con duct of the Greek civil authorities 'for the unheard-of cruelty, and unwarrantable neglect of the proper precautionary measures. It was generally expected that Paikos, the Minister of Justice, would . be instantly dismissed, as well as the Procureur du Roi, and the others, through whose extraordinary conduct this indecent and painful scene vi as brought about ; but owing to the King's apathy and want of energy, hitherto nothing has been done, which has caused a great deal of excitement and some bad feeling towards him ; and the Greeks sigh loudly as they exclaim " Oh ! when will a change of things for the better take place, for under Cape dlstria, and even under the Turks, things were much better conducted in unhappy Greece than they are at present." The discontent is becoming ge neral, and is only kept down by the awe inspired by the military. Such is the state of Greece ! AL ARMY AGAINST EGYPT. " Should Egypt not have made her submission to the authority of the Sublime Porte before the close of next summer, it is probable that she will have declared and obtained her independence. As all my endeavours and i all my provisions have not been attended with any use-- tut result, my long reflection s led me to conclude that the only remedy to the evil was war. We must then wage war, and in order to ensure its success, it is pensable to adopt efficient measures. " Art. I. We must first of all fix uflon the plan of the campa;gn, and establish such regulations as will defeat the intrigues of the Generals who might be am bitious of supplanting the Seraskier. Should any of the superior officers, contrarily to those disposition•, be pithy of intrigue or acts calculated to compromise the success of the undertaking, a report on the subject must be immediately forwarded to the Imperial Divan, in order that the offenders may be broken and punished. The Sultan will have to issue an imperial ordinance to that effect. " Art. ill. The army about to take the field must be composed of 60,000 to 70,000 men—viz!, 40,000 in fantry, 15,000 cavalry, 5,000 artillery and engineers, and 10,000 irregular troops, with 120 pieces of cannon. " Art. 3. Wherever the Imperial army shall en counter the enemy, it must present itself drawn up in battle array. It is consequently necessary that the General in-Chief train his troops to that manoeuvre as often as possible. " Art. 4. The General-in-Chief must fortify Marasch and its environs, and leave a sufficient garrison to de fend that city. This measure once completed he will march strait upon Aleppo, Damascus, and Acre, without losing time in the occupying of other points of Syria. Once master of St. Jean d'Acre, he will leave a strong garrison in that place, and proceed directly to Egypt. The taking of Acre must be regarded as terminating the first part of the campaign. To carry those opera tions into effect will, in all probability, require between four and five months. The occupation of Egypt will form the second period of the campaign, and will also require between four and five months, so that the entire undertaking may be successfully terminated in a space of ten or eleven months. " Art. 5. According to our reports Soliman Pacha is displeased with his position. In order to deprive the Egyptian army of so useful an adviser and so powerful an aid, no means should be spared ; an officer must be secretly sent to him who will do everything to gain him over. As Soliman is a Frenchman, it would be advisable to despatch to him an officer of his nation belonging to the Imperial army. He would succeed more easily in bringing him over to our side. " Art. 6. Hitherto Mehemet Ali has not conferred on Arabs any rank superior to that of Captain, whilst he raised Christians to the dignities of Bey and Pachas. In our camp, on the contrary, there are Arabs invested with the rank of Pachas. Consequently, it will be ne cessary to circulate, by means of spies, proclamations among the Egyptian army, promising the rank of lieu tenants to those who should desert to our side with twenty or thirty men ; that of captain to such as would bring from thirty to one hundred ; and that of com mander and colonel to those who arrived at the bead of a battalion. Any individual, whoever he may be, who will join our army with a regiment, shall be named colonel, general, and pacha. " Art. 7.—The Druses, the Montonalis, forming part of the Egyptian army, the Sheiks, and the Syrian popu lation generally, must be excited to make common cause with u•, by promising and assuring them that they will obtain from the Porte all the privileges they may re quire. It is necessary that Hafiz Pacha should always have at his disposal from 7,000 to 8,000 purses (40,0001.) for the purpose of corrupting the S'hieks. " Art. B.—lt is of the highest importance to obtain a knowledge, by means of clever spies of the plans and projects recommended by the European officers attached to the Egyptian army ; and at all events to arrive at some result before the ensuing summer. " Art. 9.—The Ottomnn fleet must be ready to transport 10,000 or 12,000 men to Tripoli (in Syria), and the moment our army shall have commenced its march from Marasch, those troops must open a com munication with the Druses and other malcontents, and act in concert with them. In order to ensure the sue. cess of the movement, those troops must be provided with from 30 to 40 pieces of artillery, and 15,000 mus kets, to be distributed among the insurgents, as also with a sufficient quantity of ammunition."

In answer to an advertisement of Sir James Murray's, which sPpeared iu the Times within these three days, Mr. Dinneford ass ures the P ro f ess i on and the Public that the opinion of Dr. tifiJohnson which Mr. D. has used in his hand-bills is not a Cer cate at all—that it was not granted either to himself or Sir 9hiJames INT urraY, but was extracted from the "Medical and rurgical Revi ew for April, " No. 60, where Mr. Dinneford found it, and where it may be read by any person curious on the subject. As to the allegation of Mr. D. having been an Agent of Sir James Murray, that knows well that the connexion between them yno means that of Principal and Agent ; he knows well also why that connexion was severed ; but Mr. D. rests quite satisfied with Sir James Murray's own admission, that " the process had been greatly s proved by persons esta blished in London."
