TrHE DIRECTORS of the COMPANY, in order to complete this great national undertaking and to afford the greatest possible accommodation to the public, have caused two extensive Buildings to be erected at the en trance of the London Station ; the one as an HOTEL, called the EUSTON, and tho other a DORMITORY, named tho VICTORIA. THE EUSTON HOTEL. J. DETHIER and CO. present themselves most respectfully to the public as the Proprietors of this very elegant and spa cious Hotel, which they have taken on Lease from the Direc. tors. The arrangement and management in the various- de partments they trust will be equal to any of the Hotels, either English or Foreign, affording the greatest comfort to the No bility, and general convenience and facility to those Mercantile and Manufactucing Gentlemen who may honour them with their patronage. The Protprietors, regardless of expense, have fitted up the whole in the most modern style that well digested plans could devise. The Coffee-room will be attended by English and Foreign Waiters, and supplied with the London, Provincial, and Fo reign Journals ; Shipping, Market, and Trade Lists ; Ex changes and Tariffs ; and all other Publications essential to mercantile information. The Private Sitting and Sleeping Rooms will be found re plete with every comfort and accommodation that can be de sired. The utmost attention will be paid to the Kitchen department, as first-rate talents for that purpose have been engaged. Het and Cold Baths will be ready on the shortest notice. The Cellars will be supplied with a well selected stock of Wines, Spirits, and Liqueurs. The Stabling department contains excellent Stalls and Lock-up Coach-houses. Carriages belonging to the Hotel will be alwazs in readiness. The Servants of the Hotel will attend the arrival of the Trains. The Proprietors, in giving this brief outline in part of their arrangements, beg to announce that the Hotel will be opened on the 11th of November, when they most respectfully solicit the patronage of the public to their undertaking, and beg to assure them that the charges will be on the most moderate scale, in which all Servants' Gratuities will be included. This extensive Line of Railway having communication to the various Manufacturing Districts and Towns in the North and West of this great commercial nation, has induced the Proprietors to es tablish a correspondence with Houses in the principal Cities and Ports of Europe and America, in order to obtain the most im portant information for the British and Foreign Merchants who may honour the Proprietors with their patronage ; and as soon as those arrangements are finally adjusted, they will be sub mitted to the public. CHARLES ME EKING, having ever con ducted his business with a steady and uniform view to the important interest of his customers and himself, together with the force of capital, energy, and foresight, as regards the pecuniary interests of this country, which are so interwoven with its trade and prosperity that every description of property is dependent on the administration of the currency, has in creased his trade so as to require the addition to his premises of the house that was Mr. Vyse Palin's, late Mr. Vyse's, op posite Ely-place, and he will now conduct his business on a more extensive scale. The premises consist of THREE SHOPS— No. I. CARPETING S, MOREENS, DAMASKS, &c. 2. DRAPERY, HABERDASHERY, &c. 3. SHAWLS, SILKS, &c. The strictest attention is observed in keeping up a judiciously assorted Stock for family uses; and the whole for excellence of quality, cheapness, and elegance, merits the strongest recom mendations, being always subjected to such a revision thereof, as will place the standard of value on a sure and uniform basis. The New Shop will be principally used for the best description of British and Foreign Shawls, Silks, 11lerinos, and Furs. C. M. assures his customers that they may confide in his employing whatever experience or judgment he may possess, to prevent any change in fabric or price operating injuriously to their interests. 62, HOLBORN-HILL, Next St. Andrew's Church.

This case came before the Court upon the peti tion of Sir Thomas Marrion Wilson, the Lord of the Manor of Hampstead, praying that the sum of 4,0501., which he claimed as a fine, might be paid to him by the relators, the trustees of the Hampstead Charity, and that the injunction which had been obtained re straining him from proceeding to take out execution under the verdict he had obtained at law, might be dis solved. The., short facts of the case, which have several times been brought before the public, appeared to be as follows :—ln the year 1698, the Earl of Gainsborough, the then Lord of the Manor of Hamp stead, granted six acres of Hampstead-heath, on which was a most valuable mineral spring, to Sir Thomas Lane and several other persons, in trust for the benefit of the poor of that district, upon the condition that the sum of five shillings should be paid yearly to the Lord of the Manor with the usual service, and that upon the admission of new lives, a fine of 301. should be paid to the Lord. At the time of making this grant the Earl of Gainsborough was a minor ; and a doubt was entertained as to its validity ; that doubt had, however, been long since re moved, and it was now admitted that the grant was valid. In consequence, however, of the Earl of Gainsborough being a minor, a deed was executed at the same time us the grant, by which the purposes of that instrument were declared. In 1713, proceedings were instituted in the Courts, relative to the charity property ; and in the month of April, 1729, Lord King who was then Chancellor, pronounced a decree, establishing- the charity founded by the Earl of Gainsborough, and laying down certain rules for regulating the fines to be taken by the Lord of the Manor upon the admission of new lives. By that decree it was provided that upon the trustees of the charity, who, were originally fourteen, being re duced to nine, new ones were to be appointed, and a certain fine was to be paid to the Lord. That decree had been upheld by Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Brougham ; but the trustees considering the fine demanded in the present instance by the Lord as too exorbitant, and not founded upon the principles of the decree of Lord King, refused to pay it, and proceedings were instituted in the Courts of Common Law to recover it. Those pro ceedings were decided in favour of the Lord, and then an injunction was obtained against him, which it was now sought to dissolve, restraining him from proceeding on the judgment he had obtained. Mr. COOPER, who appeared on behalf of the present Lord of the Manor, went at considerable length into the facts of the case, and did not conclude his address till four o'clock. The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed the further ar guments till to-morrow (this day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 5. RUCCO V. PEARCE. Sir F. POLLOCK moved in this case for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the defendant should not be set aside and a new trial had, on the ground of its being contrary to evidence. The case was tried before Lord Denman at the sittings after last term, and the circum stances were as follow :—The plaintiff was a foreigner and member of the College of Surgeons of London, and the action was brought by him against a gentleman of fortune named Pearce, to recover a sum of 2001. by vir tue of a certain agreement entered into between the par ties. In 1835 the plaintiff attended Miss Sarah Pearce, one of the defendant's daughters, and in 1838 he was called upon to attend Miss Caroline, another daughter, who was consumptive, and recommended a visit to the warmer climate of France. It was agreed that Dr. Rucco was to attend the family to Pau for a period of seven months, and that he was to receive a sum of 4001. for his services and attendance-2001. to be paid in advance, and the remainder at, the termination of his engagement. The family arrived at Pau in October, and the young lady died on the :18th December. The plaintiff soon afterwards left Pau and returned to Lon don. The defendant to the action had pleaded first non assumpsit—secondly, that the plaintiff had not performed his part of the agreement, but had refused and neglected to attend and advise Miss Caro line Pearce—thirdly, that the plaintiff had left Pau before the expiration of the seven months without the consent of the defendant—fourthly, that the climate of Pau did not agree with the plaintiff, and in conside ration of his being allowed to return to England he had given up all claim to the remainder of the money—and fifthly, that the plaintiff had acted immorally while residing with the defendant. The Learned Counsel, after referring to the evidence which had been given in the case, contended t hat a l l these pleas could n o t be true, and therefore the verdict m ust be set aside . CoLurotr,dopbsEerNvmedAstilatin pron ouncing the o pi n i on o f t h e the difficulties of the case had been much increased by the absurd practice of intro ducing several grounds of defence, some of wh ich were pnloetaosr: when the evidence given at the t r i a l was takenously false, when the defendant had a g oo d ground of defence. It was very doubtful whether the verdict could stand for the defendant upon the 3d an d s t h into consideration, and that the Court was of opinion that there should be a rule for a new trial, unless the defendant agreed to a verdict being entered for the plaintiff on these two issues. COURT OFCIVI3I-1"OM111 4 9 ..:A,S, N ov . 5. GRAND SURREY CANAL COMPAN Y U. HALL. Mr. THESSIGER said this was an action f or t respass against the defendant for breaking and enuring on a bridge b e l ong ing to the plaintiffs. Th e d e f en d ant pleaded a right of public way. By the A c t o f th e Company they were to erect a nd to maintain bridges, &c., for the owners of land taken by them. In 1804 they, purchasing land of a gentleman named Rose, built a bridge f or the use of his family an d t enan t s . In 1822 a new Church having been built, there was great traffic over the bridge, which ix as n o t cer t a i n ly interfer e d w ith, till 1832, when that traffic had injured the bridge, an d a small toll was imposed, to keep it in repair, always making a n exception of M r . R ose ' s te nants. In 1837 objections were first r a i se d to th e t o ll, and opposition excited against it. Lord Denman, who tried the case, told ,the Jury that though the Company might originally have erected the bridge under com pulsion of their Act, for the use of Mr. Rose's tenants alone—yet that if they had allowed to grow up in the public mind an impression that they meant the bridge for the public use, that was, in fact, a declaration to the public. The Learned Counsel insisted that this was erroneous, because the point was, whether or not the Company had "intended" to make the bridge pub lic—and that this intention was to be gleaned from their Act, of which in the eye of the law the public were deemed cognizant. On this ground he moved for a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial, on the ground of misdirection—(the verdict having been for defendant.) —Rule nisi granted.

I INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nor. 4 " A TENANT-AT-wlLL."—Dennis Driscoll, a fresh coloured native of Erin, was opposed by Mr. Cooke on the part of a gentleman named Maughfling. The insolvent had been a " tenant-at-will" of a house in New Gravel-lane, Shadwell, for some years, without paying any rent. Mr. Maughfling was his only cre ditor, at whose suit he had been confined since August : he seemed to consider himself " a very ill-used man." It appeared that the rent of the house was 181. a year, and when the collector to Mr. Maughfling, who had seven houses in the same street, called on the insol vent, lie refused to pay him or give up the possession ; he had kept it some years, and would not quit the premises. Mr. Cooke—A man who will neither pay rent nor give up possession is, I believe, always called a " tenant at-will."—( A laugh.) The collector said such was the definition of the term by those who paid no rent. The insolvent would not quit ; he threatened violence ; a row ensued, and he was bound over to keep the peace. Mr. Maughfling ultimately brought an action of ejectment to get his property. He obtained a verdict, and with great diffi culty succeeded in getting possession ; he was obliged to call in the police. Some of the doors were removed, the fixtures gone, and a partition broken to pieces. The insolvent said he had kept possession since the year 1829, and paid no rent. Mr. Cooke—Why did you not give up possession to Mr. Maughfling? Insolvent—Cos he hadn't a title. Mr. Cooke—What title had you The insolvent looked perplexed, but in a minute a thought seemed to strike him. " What title had I? Vy I had possession."--( Laughter.) Mr. Commissioner BOWEN said the insolvent must go back for a month to amend his description. The case was adjourned to amend the description, and the insolvent was taken to prison, there to remain for upwards of a month. MIDDLESEX COURT OF REQUESTS. A CASE FOR THE " SUPERIOR COURTS."—H/L7li and Haines," shouted the crier. " Here's Hunt," said a jolly-looking person, very much like John Reeves, of " immortal memory." Where's Haines ?" inquired the officer. " I attend for Mr. Haines," squeaked a fierce little fellow of the the guinea-pig class of the genus honzo, over whose nativity the genius of Pump-court, Temple, had un doubtedly presided ; " I'm his clerk, and am prepared to plead to the action." " What is the debt for ?" said the COMMISSIONER. " The debt is a guinea for a hat," answered the plaintiff. " Do you admit the debt? said the COMMISSIONER to " the extremity of the law." " Mr. Haines pleads privilege," answered the "fag-end." " I here exhibit his certificate ;" and the woeful little representative of the privileged attorney spread out the strip of shell) skin to the view of the Commissioner. " Will yo❑ swear," said the CommissioNEn, " that Ambrose Haines, the defendant in this action, is the Ambrose Haines named in the certificate 2" " I will," said the clerk, looking as sharp as a snipe. Mr. Commissioner 'Juno's—Such a plea does Mr. Haines no credit. _ " Nor no discredit neither," pertly replied the clerk. " We offered Mr. Hunt 17s. for the hat, which we can show was the price agreed upon, and we now make the same offer in Court. If he won't accept the tender made to him by us, let him take us into the Superior Court." Mr. Commissioner Dunnls (addressing the plaintiff') —Do so ; I warrant you Mr. Haines will not show himself in such a shabby ease. Mr. Haines might here have proved the agreement, if any was ever made, for the 17s. " We do not choose to plead here," said the clerk. " And I think you will not choose to plead anywhere in this matter. Take him into his own court, Mr. Hunt," said the COMMISSIONER. Mr. Hunt—l will, Sir ; he shall have the privilege of trying the hat case on in his own court. " Give me the certificate," said the little clerk, pom pously, to the officer of the court ; and having received the bit of sheepskin, he retired with as much dignity as if he had been marching to the woolsack. DEBT AND COSTS. —Some people go to law for the same reason that a certain stage hero wished to see a man "thawed up," as the Yankees have it. " Kill him," said he of the sock and buskin, " kill him ; I never saw a man killed in my life." It was the novelty of the thing that was so charming. So it is with many of those who are desirous of argufying their own causes, and having fools for their clients. The only dif ference is that the martial stage gentleman required the experiment to be tried upon any case except his own ; he cared little about the debt—of na tare, or the cost which such a debt was "heir to ;" but the gentlemen and ladies who rush into the novelty of " speaking for themselves," generally do execution upon their own persons, coming in pretty usually for both debt and costs. But then the novelty of " having it out" at law with the butcher or baker at the cost of a matter of 3s. 6d ! Pleading before a judge with a wig on! and "telling the waggerbun as had the imp'rance to summon you, a bit o'yer mind, and as how you dont care a-- for him !" And all these delight ful things for a matter of 3s. Gd. "It's quite irresis tible !" thought Mary Mullins, we presume, when the baker threatened to summons her for 2s. Gd. for three quartern loaves and a couple of rolls. Mary walked briskly up to the table, presenting in her own sweet self a fine study of the " low forensic" — her arms akimbo, her best foot a little in advance, and her head expressively out of the perpendicular. She was of the Tartar race, with a squab nose, ferret eyes, and her mouth --. It forcibly recalled to our recol , lection a bit of dialogue we heard years since between two jolly sons of Neptune, in what they call the Bogue of Tigris : " --- My eyes, Jack," said the captain of the fore-top to one of his messmates, " look at that there Qui Si singing out in the chop under the bows—what a bight of a mouth he has." " Ah hah !" chuckled his messmate, " Why, when he opens his mouth his head's half off, and get's right on it's beam ends." " And his nose," added Jack, laughing outright, " is taken all aback." In fact Mary Mullin's nose, which had a most pug nacious appearance, seemed to have hugged itself close off the dangerous Charybdis gaping below it. Mr. Commissioner Dußois (to Mary)—Do you owe this money? " No, I don't," said Mary, emphatic:a:ly, " I don't owe it ; I disputes free (three) ha'pence on it. He carn't recover no costes, cos I've hoffered him a legal tender, as Bill Gibbins is a witness on." " I hi's," said Gibbins, who backed up Mary, " seed Molly Mullins put the blunt on the counter." " Q'vite right," observed Mary Mullins, "and he carn't recover nuffen (nothing). I hoffered him two ahillin' in silver, a Joey and a ha'penny in copper. " The worry ticket," chimed in Mister Gibhins. " And I means to dispute," added the fair defen dant, " as I howes him a blessed farden more." Mr. Commissioner Dusoss—Let us know how you make out this statement of yours. " Why as this here," said Mary, looking as if Hale and Bacon inspired and invigorated her, " Mister Duf fey, the plaintiff in this here cause ticketed up his bread at 9d. a k'rvarten, and I produces a bill (handing it in quite professionally) as 'll prove as he's had the williney to charge me 9d. a k'rvarten. He say as this here hextra mag as he's clapped on is for a trustinc , on me, but, my Lord and Gentlemen of the Jury, I never agreed to no sich a hagreement. I aint such a-- fool, am I Bill ?" " Not a bit on it," said Gibbins. " Have you any family ?" inquired the COSIMIS• SIONER.-" Yes, I have," answered Mary Mullins, " I've free (three) blessed babbles, and they sharnt be robbed by nobody, if so be as I knows it? " Really," said the COMMISSIONER, " the defendants to these small claims act most dishonestly towards their own families. Here is a debt of 2s. 6d., and rather than pay it this woman comes here to rob her family of 3s. Gd. in the shape of costs." " Butt aint to be done out of free ba'pence," voci ferated Mrs. Mullins. " The halfpenny . on each loaf is the charge, woman, which bakers invariably make for credit." Worry fine, my Lord," replied Mary, " but why should I pay this here free ha'pence ? I never agreed to no such a thing. Suppose my husband, as works in the dust-yard agin Somer's-town, was for to put a ha'penny on every ninepence as he yarns, cos they don't let him have the blunt till such times as it's Saturday night— eh What'ud master say to him, my Lord and Genel men of the Jury ? I axes you what you supposes they'd say ? What'ud they do, Bill Gibbins ?" " Sack him like a cock in a brace o' two twos I" re plied Gibbins. " To be sure they would," said Mary, triumphantly, PRICE sd. " he'd have the go, and no gammon ; and I shoul d like for to know why this here Mister Duffey should have a hextra mag, cos ve don't pay afore Saturday night. It ain't justice." Mr. Duffey denied the tender, and observed that the only chance he had of getting the 2s. Gd. was by bring ing them into Court. Mary told him he was a sanguinary postponer of the truth, and that he might -. She'd "be biled twice in biling bile afore she'd pay' a farden, for she'd have six penerth of it ;" that is, Mary Mullins meant she would retire into prison six days for the Gs. debt and costs. A TEA-TOTAL AFFAIR.—The " tea-totallers" set out with the axiom that " all the world are drunkar(ls ;" Bohea, Twankay, and Hyson-skin, with their auxil liaries, Howqua and Assam, are therefore called upon to take the field against " Old Tom" and " Heavy Wet." When the victory is achieved, and " total abstinence" is in the ascendant, then, as they say, a moral millenium will extend from New York to John O'Groats ; but, as we say, not till then. A raw-boned Scotch tea-pedlar, ugly enough for a " Hong" mer chant, whose patois might have passed for real " Chi nese," presented himself at the table to claim 2s. Bd., the price of half a pound of tea supplied to one Mrs. Mary Jones, a feminine Falstaff, who might have dis puted the " temperance" medal with any twenty-cu " friendly brother," or " social sister" of any teetota society on this or the other side of the Atlantic. The Scotchman, with some difficulty, made the Court and jury comprehend that Mrs. Jones, by way of open ing a tea account with him. had consented to take half a-pound of prime " Pekoe" as a sample. He had re peatedly called for payment, but he had always been " fobbed off" with excuses, and at last with a peremp tory denial of the debt. The lady, who possessed untiring activity of tongue, said the plaintiff had hound out that she had lately joined the " Temperance" Society, and had " seduced" her to try his ware, under the plea that he was tea-dealer in general to the " United, Rational, Social, and Moral Bethnal-green Teetotallers." She allowed him to leave a small package, upon the full understanding that if not approved of nothing was to be charged. She drank out the quantity, and then discovered that the quality would not suit, and so she told the plaintiff. The jury were of opinion that the debt was a just one, and their award was accordingly in favour of the plaintiff. Mr. Commissioner Dußois—Now, Mrs. Jones, how will you pay this? Mrs. Jones (snappishly)—Shan't pay it at all. What is your husband ?—What is he ! why he's has matical.—( Laughter.) I mean what trade does he follow ?—He don't follow nothing. When people wants him they comes arter him. What rent do you pay ?—We don't pay none. Our lodgers pays our rent. _ _ That won't do, Mrs. Jones. You know what I mean, and you must say the amount of rent you pay ?—Twenty pounds, when the landlord gets it. You will pay the debt and costs at Is. a week ?—I shan't, I can tell you. The tea was'nt only sloe-leaves. I dare say you find the. tea very bad now.—The summons was wrong. But we will make it all right.—No you shan't. I'll prove my allybum. I aint Mary Jones, my name's Mar garet. Mr. Commissioner DUBOIS—We don't want your name. Mrs. Jones ; we'vetkot you, and that's better. " You ugly willin," said the discomfited Mrs. Jones, turning on the plaintiff, " only let me ketch you up our court !" Mrs. Jones went off in a passion. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. FEROCITY of A DUMB BOY.—Yesterday William Sryfall, a boy about thurteen years of age apparently, charged i,h with emast being a d era respectable lookingr ly apprentice. m a n was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman HUMPIIERY stated that he was a shoe-maker, and that the prisoner who was his apprentice was deaf and dumb. He been induced by the parents of the boy to take him, and he had been bound by the parents, but he constantly refused to do any work, and if remonstrated with he would seize a knife and run at complainant attempting to stab him ; he would also throw knives at and person who offended him. The persons at the asylum where the boy had been educated had used every means to reclaim him but without effect, and he became so incorrigible that the complainant felt himself called upon in self defence to bring him before the worthy Alderman to request him to cancel the indentures. He was willing to return 101. of the premium he had received with him. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY thought that under this circumstances the complainant had made a very fair offer, and directed a document to be drawn up in ac cordance with this suggestion, and tendered to the boy for his signature. Complainant—He will not sign it, Sir ; he refuses to do any thing. The prisoner stood for some time with the pen in his hand, but notwithstanding every attempt to induce him to change his resolution—he refused to sign. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY—The indentures bad better be left at this office until you can arrange some thing with the parish officers who bound him. In the meantime I shall commit the boy to the Compter. The prisoner was then removed in custody. BOW-STREET. A. ruffianly-looking fellow, named Thomas Ferrymen, was yesterday brought up by several policemen, charged with being concerned, with others not. in custody, with violently assaulting them, and rescuing prisoners from them in the execution of their duty. The prisoner had been in custody on a former occasion for wounding a a constable in such a serious manner as to compel him to quit the service from the injuries he had received. Sergant Leslie, F division stated, that at about half-past one o'clock he was called by constable Linley to quell a riot in Charles -street, Drury-lane, in which the prisoner was one of the ringleaders. Having taken a man into custody, and while the other constable was conducting another to the station-house, the prisoner rushed out of a house, and laying hold of the man wit ness had in custody, he cried out, " Are you going to allow yourself to be taken ? I'll stick by you. Pitch into the - police." Witness was instantly set upon by several others with the prisoner, who violently assaulted him, and as the other constable drew his staff to protect witness, the prisoner seized it, and ran away with it. By this time a mob of about 500 persons of the lowest character had assembled, and the pri soner being pursued, was recaptured in the Seven Dials, but the men who were in custody effected their escape. _ _ _ Wm. Linley, 68 F, saw a number of thieves and women fighting in Charles-street, and knowing the des perate character of the prisoner he desired him to move on, but he obstinately refused, saying if there were more constables present he would serve them as he had done on a former occasion. Witness then went to the top of the street and informed the last witness of the dis turbed state of the neighbourhood, and on their appre hending two men the prisoner rushed out of a house, attempting to rescue the man from the last witness, and on witness interfering he received a violent blow on the mouth, which caused him to draw his staff to defend himself from further injury, but the prisoner laying hold of it wrenched it from him, while the mob seeing him disarmed and unassisted, fell upon bins in the most savage manner, although some respectable inhabitants endea voured to protect him. After dreadful confusion be was conveyed away by two gentlemen in an insensible state from the blows he had received, and during the row a woman threw a poker from a window at him, out of the house from which the prisoner came. Mr. John Bray, ironmonger, of Drury-lane, proved that on going to his door he saw the prisoner pursuing the constable with the staff which he had wrested from hira to strike him with it, and another man rescued the prisoners who had been in custody ; but before witness could render any assistance, the prisoner struck Linley several times with the staff, and on his following up the assault, witness laid bold of his arm to avert the blow, but turning round he brandished the staff, and with all his might struck witness with it on the head, which in flicted a desperate wound. Mr. JARDINE said it was very praiseworthy in acting in the manner he had done, to protect the police in their endeavours to restore tranquillity to the neigh bourhood. ver C al on o s t t h a e b r l e e e ß n a s g t a n b al e , s 3, and F, w e e e e n d t t t oh that ru t lan prisonere, wi th saed but while witness was spea kin g to th got upon the leads of the h ouse to e a e v o o n id sta b b e l i e n s g a ta t k t e h n e , door, devising some means to apprehend him, he rushed out of the house, the mob making way for him to effect his escape. Witness pursued him tbrough several streets, and oxtecuring him, with some difficulty, in the Seven Dialiahe threw a knife he had in his hand into the roadway. Mr. George Hearn, a stationer, spoke to the for bearance e vinced by the constables, and he witnessed the prisoner take the staff from the constable with which be struck him. The police were compelled to retreat or they would have been murdered, and their staffs were thrown after them by the mob. The prisoner made no defence, but he appeared to glory in the exploits he had performed during the riot. Mr. JARDINE said, the charge had been supported by respectable householders in a most satisfactory manner, and as the case was of such a serious nature he consi dered he should not be dealt with summarily, and the pri soner should be brought up again on Friday next.

Her voice is clear and melodious ; she sings with consi derable taste and pea er, and was much applauded. A charm:nir, song was introduced, " The Happy Land." which she gave beautifully, and it was cordially encored. On the whole the thing was successful. Monsieur Jacques followed, and Mr. Burnett was very well received on his re-appearanr,e at this theatre. The evening's enter tainments were closed by a ballet most carefully got up, 1 and displaying some good dancing. Tile audience was tolerably numerous, considering that the three Majors are now open. The National Anthem was well given after the opera, and elicited the hearty loyalty of all present. SURREY THEATEE. Notwithstanding the denunciations of moralists—t!ot twhi e t h d s a t a n r (7 ( e l r i n o g u the s te n loud c o y u t o c f r y t h everywhere s r t a o i r s: d o a f g J o f a n c s k t Sheppard, one thing is certain, that the hero maintains his ground, and no doubt by virtae of his characttristic faculty of making miraculous escapes, still laughs to scorn the attempts made on all sides to hunt him to the death. In theatre after theatre he makes his appear ance with as much boldness as if he was animated by the consciousness of virtue ; and what is more pro voking, still he is greeted with as many cheers from the public in this act of audacious bravado as if he really de served them. We must, however, do the Surrey Theatre the justice to say, that there are few places where he appears so much in his natural character, with less of artiticial adornment—with fewer bor rowed plumes from theatrical management than be appears at this theatre. It is true he is, after all, " no better than he should be ;" but with all his faults, and they are many, on his head, he appears, both from the personation of the character, and the adaptation of' the play, to be veritably Ainsworth's Jack Sheppard. The novelty of the evening was, however, a drama in two acts, called The Devil's Daughters, or Hell's Belles. Any of our readers, who may be fond of the marvellous, or who may be desirous of taking an imaginary peep, even though it should be a premature 0n.., at the sa)ings and doings of the infernal regions, will here have his curiosity fully gratified. The piece is ingeniously arranged and a very effective drama. LE1"Fli1l of BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. The following is a copy of a letter written by Ben jamin Franklin, to M. Le Roy, a French gentleman in Paris, and which we believe has never before been in print. The original, from which we copy, is in the hands of Sir John Robison, Edinburgh : " London, January 31, 1769. " Dear Sir,—l received your obliging favour of No vember 15. I presented your compliments to Sir John Pringle, who was glad with me to hear of your welfare, and desired me to offer his best respects whenever I wrote to you. The ' Farmer's Letters' were written by one Mr. Dickenson of Philadelphia, and not by me, as you seem to suppose. I only caused them to be re printed here with that little preface, and had no other hand in them, except that I see some of my sentiments formerly published are collected and interwoven with those of others and his own, by the author. lam glad they afforded you any amusement. It is true, as you have heard, the troops are poated in Boston, on the pretence of preventing riots, and protecting the custom house officers ; but it is also true, that there tv-s no intention among the people there to oppose the landing of these troops, or to resist the execution of the law by arms. The riots talked of were sudden, unpremeditated things, that happened only among a few of the lower sort. Their plan of making war on this country is of a different kind. It is to be a war on commerce only, and consists in an absolute determination to buy and use no more of the mantifactures of Britain till the Act is repealed. This is already agreed to by four provinces, and will be by all the rest in the ensuing summer. Eleven ships now here from Boston and New York, who would have carried, one with another, 50,000/. sterling each in goods, are going away in their ballast, as the Parliament seems determined not to repeal. I am inclined to think, however, that it will alter itsltnind before the end of the ses,ion. Otherwise it is to be feared the breach will grow wider by successive indis cretions on both sides. " The subject you propose to me, the consequences of allowing a free exportation of corn, the advantages or disadvantages of the Concurrence, 4c. is a very exten sive one ; and I have been, and am at present, so much occupied with our American affairs, as that, if I were ever so capable of handling it, I have not time to engage in it at present to any purpose. I think, however, with you, that the true principles of commerce are yet but little understood, and that most of the Acts of Parlia ment, arrets, and edicts of Plinees and States, relating to commerce, are political errors, solicited and obtained by particulars for private interest, under the pretext for public good. " The bearer of this, Captain Overy, is a particular friend of mine, who now only passes through Paris for Lyons and Nice, but in his return may stay in your city some time. tic , is a gentleman of excellent character and great merit, and as such I beg leave to recommend him to your civilities and advice, which may be of great service to him, as he is quite a stranger in Paris. With the greatest esteem and respect, I am, dear Sir, your most obedient and most humble servant, B. FRANKLIN. " Your English is extremely good ; but if it is more easy for you to write in French, do not give yourself the trouble of writing in English, as I understand your French perfectly well."—Chambers's Journal. A CHARITABLE ASSASSIN. Ihe Gazette des Tribuniiux of Sunday contains are port of a trial before the Royal Chancellery of Grenada, in Spain, of Don Vincentio de Bentaval y Sazar, a landed proprietor living in the only village between the two small rivers El Rio Barmejo (the Red River) and El Rio Sangre (the River of Blood), situated in the region of the Alpuxaras, which was so flourishing in the time of the Moors. Don Vincentio, it appears, had ex hausted his fortune in relieving the poor. He lived simply on garbanzos, tomataas, pimentos, and algarabas s and upon the fish and game he caught. After a time five men were found assassinated, who, however, were not inhabitants of the village. The first victim was a canon of Granada, who had gone to the Alpuxaras for his health. The second a rich merchant of the city of Adre. The third, the treasurer of a regiment in garri son at Grenada. Two other persons were also found murdered, and all in the same manner, by. gun-shot wounds. At length two vine-dressers were witnesses by accident of an attempt made upon the life of a man. The assassin was seized and conducted to the village o Atalbaytar, and the inhabitants were thunderstruck on discovering in him Don Vincentio Bentaval y Sazar. On being conducted before the Alcalde of Ugijar, he admitted at once his guilt, and alleged as an excuse that he killed the rich to save the poor ; his heart was deso late in witnessing suffering and misery. He had spent his fortune for the unfortunate, and as his own reseurces were exhausted—but let him speak for himself : " I had nothing left, and my poor pensioners came flocking around me, crying for bread, and I had none to bestow upon them. Moreover, two young persons had plighted their troth, but just on the eve of their mar riage a fire destroyed all they possessed. They came to me : I saw they adored each other—l could not se parate what God had joined—and promised to ma k e good their losses. I asked some of my old friends for money, and they laughed me to scorn. The usurers demanded securities which I could not procure. I was returning home, broken-hearted, when the monk Gre gorio crossed my path. I asked him to lend m e some money, and he told me that there were 100 ounces of gold in his valise at my service. I to ld h i m the purpose for which I destined them, and he called me a fool, and refused to keep his promise. These taunts of folly, coming from so holy a man, exasperated tae. I stepped back a few paces, and laid him dead with two bullets ; but not being able to witness his sufferings, I smashed his h H ead d thenwith a a ck l a n r o g w e l e s d t o g n e e d ." that he had assassinated several other per sons , i n or d er that his poor pensioners might not die of hunger. In vain h: s counse l i nvoked the good intentions of his client ; they answered him that the road to hell was paved with good intentions. He called to mind the happiness and prosperity of the whole village, which was owing to Don Vincentio, who was loved and revered by the inhabitants ; and, lastly, he insinuated that he could bring forward medical certificates to prove that his client was under an aberration of intellect. All this casuistry was, however, thrown away, and the Spanish Magistrate condemned him to suffer death. On hearing his sentence he exclaimed, ` Oh, my God ! what will become of my poor friends in the village r , Will the Royal clemency he extended to Don Via centio ?
