SURRENDER OF DON CARLOS. The Itionitenr Parisien of Sunday night con tains the following telegraphic despatches com municating to the French Government the arrival of Don CARLOS in France:— " BAYONNE, SEPT. 14, AT 9 O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING, AND ATNHOA ON THE SAME DAY, " THE SOUS PREFET OP BAYONNE TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " Don Carlos has claimed our hospitality and a refuge. Etc has just entered France with his family." " BAYONNE, SEPT. 14. "THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE 20TH MILI TACT( DIVISION TO THE MINISTER CF FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " General Eguia, the Marquis de Valdespinas, and Syl vestre, the Commander-in-Chief of the Engineers, entered France yesterday by the Aldudes." Thus closes the infamous career of CARLOS, unless the French Government has yielded to his solicitations to be allowed to traverse France without an escort of Gendarmes, which, of course, would be equivalent to giving him passports to join CABRERA, in Catalonia or Arragon. This supposition is too dishonourable to France to be seriously entertained for a moment, whatever probability it may appear to derive from the negligence of the French Government on a former gccasion. Of the character of CA RLOS the world can now form a pretty correct estimate. In a war of six years' duration he exhibited through out the bloodthirstiness of a brigand united with the skulking cowardice of a pickpocket, and the narrow bigotry of a monk. He never so far offered violence to his nature as to perform one generous action, or to give expression to one ennobling sentiment. His personal safety was 'his first care, and took precedence in his thoughts and deliberations of that of his Consort and family. No generous impulse impelled the Durango but9her to stipulate, in any instance, for the pro tection of the simple peasantry, whose happy homes he made desolate, and then abandoned with his army at the first approach of an exasperated enemy. Having plundered them of their property in the *ape of military exactions, and dragged their young men from under the parental roof to shed their blood in his cause, he was the first to meditate th e assassination of the General who, seeing the re bellion hopeless, had advised that they should be included in the amnesty which was to accompany the act of surrender. The Journal des Debats states Willy that the Pretender destroyed himself in his treacherous attempt to destroy MA ROTO. CA.RLOs wag the first to propose a neaotiation for pee ca rr ied u to be 0 ied on by General MAROTO ; but he in dSing so . , had no intention of going farther than to involve MAnoT o in what he hoped his other Generals would regard as a treasonable con spiracy, and so have him shot. The cunning fow ler was here caught in his own snare. The pros pea o f peace upon any term s filled the army with joy ? and the insidious coward who _ treason,proposed it with rage and despair. He sh outed fled like a hunted hare when none pursued, after vainly endeavouring to provoke MA ROTO'S troop s t o fire upon their General. MAROTO had no al ternative but to come to terms at once with the QUEEN'S Government. Had CARLOS not at tempted openly to have him assassinated, there i s no doubt but that he would have procured such terms for the Pretender, his family, the Basque Provinces, and the army, that an immediate and general pacification of Spain would have I been the result. He had even stipulated that CARLOS should be recognised as Infant, and that in the event of the death of Queen IsABELLA without heirs, the Crown of Spain should revert to the Pretender's descendants. But, before such a stipulation could be represented to the Madrid Ca binet, CARLOS, by a premature exposure of his own treachery, ren d ere d t h e f r i en dl y i ntent i ons o f MA -1 40TO abortive, and compelled him in self-defence Ith declare at once for peace and the constitutional Government. The Times of this morning has a rabid attack on the British Government for treating with MA- RoTo, whom it foully and falsely accuses them of bribing to betray his master—" work too dirty for Frenchmen to meddle with." Let us set the Times right upon one or two rather important points. In negociating with MAROTO the British Government only complied with the written soli citations of CARLos himself; for, as we stated above, it was CARLOS who first suggested the egociation, for the purpose, as subsequently transpired, not of obtaining peace, but of involving MARoTo in a conspiracy, which would serve as a pretext for murdering him. The negotiation ter minated with the surrender of MAROTo, and that followed close up on t he heels of CARLOS ex posure of his own duplicity. Our Government, therefore, had nothing to do with MAROTO apart from CARLos and the whole of his partizans. So much for the first falsehood of this charge. As regards the second, about " the work being too dirty for Frenchmen to meddle with," it may suffice to borrow the following paragraph from the Castellano of Madrid, which appeared in the Times itself, no longer ago than yesterday When Espartero and Maroto were negotiating the Convention, a French Envoy, who was present. proposed to give an account of the arrangement to his Government which would guarantee the treaty ; but that Espartero rising from his seat and offering his hand to Maroto, said— 'ls my word of .honour, which I pledge solemnly, a suffi cient guarantee for you? If you are satisfied with it, we do not require any other security. In the contrary case, let the affair be decided by our armies.' Maroto is reported t o h ave rep li ed— ' Your word of honour, as a General, is for me a greater guarantee than that of France. Ido not.' require any other.' And the treaty was then concluded." With respect to the Times' last objection to treating with MAROTO, namely, that he is a murderer, we cannot see how the Government could treat with CARLOS at all if murder and treason were to prevent all communication between our agents and the Carlist chiefs. The cowardly butcher of Durango eannot surely claim any ex emption from the infamy of having steeped his hands in the blood of the innocent and the defence less. CABRERA, now become the idol of Tory wor ship, is far from being so immaculate as to claim a fellowship with Lord JOHN HAY, ColonelWYLDE, and ESPARTERO, to the exclusion of the blood stained MA ROTO. Let us, as Englishmen, view the enormities of CARLOS and his Generals in their proper light. MAROTO executed,Generals in the sight of the whole Carlist army, and at the head-quarters of the Pretender ; but CARLos himself confined his heroism to the murder of de fenceless prisoners, and most of his other followers, CABRERA included, gathered their laurels in cot• tages strewed with slaughtered peasants, women, and children, and among the ruins of smoking villages. The Tories are said to be just at present ex tremely assiduous in gaining influence over the Press. A journal, called the Conservative Journal has just been brought under our notice, which is to fight on the Tory side with new forces, and inspired with new vigour. In the country, we are told, they are advancing their money to start new journals, and the clergy are devoting themselves to the duties of editors. In London, according to report, the Carlton Club has not been idle, and is said to have lately acquired the property of one of the oldest me tropolitan journals. These are not the only proofs of their vigour ; they do not neglect the registration, and are every where buying, bribing, coaxing, per suading, and compelling men to support them. They are filled with hopes, and their vigour is in proportion. They are to succeed at the next elec tion ; and they long to be again trying the force of bribery, as at Cambridge, and of lying, as at Manchester. They have no amiable weaknesses, no touch of shame, or they would shrink back, dis gusted at being the instruments for corrupting and degrading their fellow-creatures. We are willing to suppose them successful, for the sake of ar,aumenti willing to suppose that bribery and intimidation have installed them in office, and that they are once more wielding all the power of a smiling Court. We want to know, however, what then will they do ? The Revenue, tasked to its utmost by the present Ministers, will bear no new burdens. An addition of a few score hungry Tory placemen, and all the Whigs cannot be re moved, will break the hack of the public resources. If the Tories come into office it must be to starve their friends and be more rigid economists than Mr. HUME. What, too, can the assiduous parsons expect? Do they believe that Sir ROBERT PEEL will divide parishes, create new livings, and double the number and income of the incumbents ? Not he. In the present state of the wages of labour and commercial difficulty, he would not give an additional farthing to the parsons were he in office to-morrow, though he might possibly, for the sake of providing religious 1 instruction for the people, which he says is the first duty of a State, distribute the revenues of the Sees of Canterbury, London, Winchester, and Lin coln, among a working body of Evangelical Clergy Or BAPTIST NOELS. He might too, as he is a great stickler for religious instruction, think that it was his duty to see that the revenues of the ihurch were properly disposed of, and he might be convinced that the good of the Church, and the advancement of Protestantism, required that the estates of the Mere Hospital, and similar institu tions should be resumed, and such people as the idle PRETYMANS not be suffered to take the bread out of the mouth of GOD'S active working ministers. The parsons cannot, we presume, expect that the accession of the Tories to office should g ive new lustre and force to their doctrines, and if they can expect neither that nor an increase of income from the accession of the Tories, what will they gain by it ? A power to persecute the Catholics I Is that their object ? Do they labour to revive a political inquisition ? They will be disappointed. When they have rolled back the tide of time for a few hundred years, they may re-establish the persecut ing supremacy of one Church, whethe r it w ill b e th e Anglican or the Roman will not be of much conse quence. They are fit for either. A Tory parson may get a living from a Tory Chancellor, and a Whig parson be obliged to stick to his curacy ; a Tory Colonel may get a regiment, a Tory Captain of the Navy may get a ship, a few Tory Generals, Ad mirals, and diplomatists may get employment, but in what way will the great bulk of the nation profit by the change ? The Tories would, we have no doubt, be more coercive, bloody-minded, and exact ing, more covetous, greedy, and grasping than the Whigs, but the nation is not disposed to submit to tyranny, and the public means of feeding ava • rice seem exhausted. We put it once more to the Tories to bethink them what they would be able to do were they again re stored to power. We know what they would try to do ; but they would be unable to gratify either their avarice or their love of tyranny. The Liberals at the same time know that the Tories are more easily kept from doing mischief out of office than in office, and they will, we hope, spare themselves the trouble of kicking out the Tories by not allowing them to get in. We have brought together all the information which has transpired concerning the refusal of a banking house at Paris and at Havre to answer the drafts of the United States Bank. According to current reports, the credit and stability of that Bank had already become doubtful, and measures of an extraordinary nature have already been had recourse to, both in London and at Amsterdam, to support it. A serious blow to its credit will produce very important effects in the United States, where it is the principal Bank and the main stay of a consider able number of subordinate Banks. Nor will Eng land escape the reverberation of the shock. A commercial disorganisation in the United States would prevent remittances of all kinds to Europe, and commercial credit here, which is not in a very sound state, may reel under the blow. We have no wish to paint things blacker than they are, but we have,let us own, a great mistrust of our system , whi ch seems to us to be founded on false, or at least ill under stoodprinciples ; and, like many other persons, we are apprehensive in an immense ehensivethatit crash. Let some time or other terminat e Let us first remark that it is impossible for any class of statesmen to the law s of commercial .be correctly acquainted with offsprin g the same i n N ew c a o n m y m kinder m al of c r i e e d g i i t si a t i T o u h , e They o a r r et they yt are the at Amsterda m ; York,thouglh cities may be essential the London,legislation at of Paris, th e fourand y different. They grow, in fact, from one v er y palpable general fact, namely, that various and different periods of time are required to perfect and bring to market almost all the commo dities of which a man makes use. Thus it requires a year to prepare raw cotton ; it is an annual product, like the greater portion of agricul tural commodities ; but after the raw cotton reaches Manchester it can be made into cloth and sent into the market in a few days. The sale of the agriculturist's commodity cannot, therefore, be rea lized in less than a year after he begins his labours, while the sale of a piece of manufactured goods can be made in a few weeks or even days after the ma nufacturer begins his task. Now all trade in the long run consists in the barter of one commodity for another, and as those commodities which require long periods to produce them are as equally useful, or as equally indispensible as those which are the produce of short periods, vo barter could take place of one for the other, except credit were given to the producers of com modities requiring most time to produce them. All commodities are produced in unequal pe riods, and that great natural fact is the real foundation of the whole system of commercial credit, including banking, the discount of bills, and all the multiplied occupations of modern commerce, exclusive of transport, which intervene before an exchange is effected between the different classes of producers. But the fact is not only the founda tion of commercial credit, it governs commercial credit or prescribes laws to it at all times, which hence are similar all over the world. Now with these laws statesmen must be most imperfectly acquainted, because the facts by which they can be ascertained lie beyond the ordinary tracks of their researches ; but still more because the facts themselves are only in course of develop ment. It follows from the circumstance which is the natural basis of credit, that every improvement in art, by which commodities are brought to mar et in a shorter time, influences the extent of credit which commercially can and ought to be given. The wonderful improvements, for example, in manufac turing processes, which enable the manufacturers to send their commodities to market in an incredibly short space of time, necessarily increases the credit they must give to those whose productive processes, from whatever causes, are not diminished in duration. Moreover, as division of labour ex tends, each manufacturer performs only a part of a series of manipulations, of which he before per formed the 'whole. But each one of the series is per formed in a different period, and hence a fresh and continually welling source of credit. From these two causes combined, the increased celerity of pro duction and the extension of division of labour, both of which are continually in operation, has arisen most of that commercial credit which is one distinguishing characteristic of mo dern society. Now it is plain and palpable that statesmen, can know little or nothing of these circumstances, which ale only growing, as it were, into existence. They know as little of them as they know whether an infant will become a tall or a short man, a knave or a person of consummate integrity. But though they neither do nor can know any thing of the laws which regulate commercial credit, there is nothing which of late years they have so perpetually meddled with. We have no recollection of a single year, during the last thirty years, in which the Parliament of England, and probably the States in America, have not interfered in some way or other, either to proscribe one species of tradesman, called a private banker, or one species of credit note, called a private bank note, or to give peculiar power and value to some pet promise to pay of their own, or some corporation, which grows rich by being a legalised monopolist of credit. It has, however, been quite impossible for them to alter the natural facts on which commercial credit depends. They have not been able for example to render it unnecessary for the inhabitants of the United States who are generally engaged in processes of agriculture, requiring a long period to complete them, to borrow of the manufacturers of England, whose products are brought to market in short periods. They have not been able, therefore, to shut out the competition of foreign borrowers, though they have shut out the competition of foreign producers. The Bank of the United States, in spite of the mo nopoly granted to the Bank of England, has, in fact, brought its paper here, and circulated it or sold it on our Stock Exchange. The landlords could not limit the operations of the manufacturers of paper, though they have put a stop to the means of payment. If Mr. BIDDLE and his friends could have imported corn freely into England, they would have had less temptation to bring so much paper, and more means to pay what they brought. The Bank would probably not have been discredited. Since the Bank of England began to totter, from her golden foundations being undermined by the drain to buy foreign corn, the close connection between the credit system and the Corn-laws has become appa rent to. every man. . The difficulties of the United States Bank are connected with the same cause. To keep in activity and health that extraordinary system of combined production which has grown up in modern times, and of which the labours of the American cotton-grower and of the English spinner are equally essential parts, it is indispen sable that the rude hand of the ignorant legislator should not interfere either with the credit, which is a necessary part of that great natural system, or with the products, whether of agriculture or manufactures, which are to be exchanged one for the other. But it has not only torn asunder the meshes of credit, it has also ar rested the production of the articles to be exchanged, and the present and the apprehended distress and confusion are sonic of the consequences. The Corn-laws and Bank monopolies being at the bot tom of all these derangements, and they being up held by powerful sinister interests, what else can be monthly, weekly, or even daily expected than commercial distress and commercial ruin ? We have teceivetl the whole of the French Jour nals of Sunday. With the exception of the impor tant news given elsewhere from Spain, they contain no intelligence of much political interest. The Commerce states that the Government has signed a treaty recognizing the independence of Texas. Letters from Constantinople, of the 27th ult., have reached us. They state that the greatest harmony prevailed among the Representatives of the Five Powers on the Oriental question. Poli tical events had made no apparent progress. TORTOINIPS.-PARIS, 'SUNDAY, SEPT. 15. HALF-PAST Two.—Of the Three per Cents. for the Account there have been neither buyers nor sellers to-day, consequently, not one bargain done; if there was one it was not public. The Lisbon Journals received yesterday furnish us with a striking exemplification of the tacit parti cipation of the Portuguese Government in the foul aspersions cast upon Great Britain by the cowardly and detestable man-stealers whose fury we have provoked by passing the Portuguese Slave Trade Suppression Bill. In the official part of the Diario, the Government organ, we find the scoun drel SANTA CLARA, who advertised his readiness to volunteer in the quality of officer or private against Great Britain, and who vowed to make a bonfire of all the British goods of which he was possessed on learning that Parliament had passed the Slave-Trade Suppression Bill, actually promoted, two days after this infamous declaration to the rank of Captain in the 13th Regiment of Infantry. And that this promotion may not be mistaken, the same cowardly rascal—for a coward we are confident he is—has since his promotion to a Captaincy, published a challenge to Lord BROUGHAM, in which he invites the Noble and Learned Lord to meet him on the confines of some neutral State, and there he will revenge himself for the insults offered to his nation I We should not be surprised to learn that the father of this SANTA CLARA, if not himself, was some refugee fed and clothed by our bounty—the offspring of some viper warmed into life in our bosom ; for experi ence has taught us, that few others have the mean ness to attempt to traduce the Britsh name. 'With the conduct'of such a wretch we have, however, nothing more to do than as he appears to act under the sanction of the Ministry. His promotion to a higher rank in the army, only two days after he had exerted himself to provoke the massacre of the English residents in Lisbon, is presumptive evidence that his sentiments were not dis approved of by the Mi n i s t r y. N ow t hi s i s a matter which we trust Lord PALMERSTON will not permit to escape his attention. Portugal evidently stands in need of being brought to her senses ; and though the circum s t ance we h ave no ticed above is trivial in itself, y e t i t i n di cates too plainly the spirit of the Lisbon Cabinet to be for one instant mistaken. We pass over as too ridi culous for serious notice the rumours about the fitting out of the Don John , 74, the only h ne . o f. battle ship P or tugal possesses, to make prizes i n I the British Channel. We have too much re• spect for Constitutional Liberty in any State possessing a Constitution, to hold the Go vernment responsible for the warlike threats of an irresponsible mob, or even for the foul misre presentations of the opposition press. But it is one thing for a Government to tolerate the abuse of an ally, and another to reward the authors of such abuse without the pretext of any other ser vice more deserving of distinction. SANTA CLARA was only known in Lisbon as a madman and a fool before he endeavoured to excite the African man-stealers to redden the waters of the Tagus with the blood of British subjects, and only two days afterwards the Portuguese Government discovered in him the requisites for a Captain of Infantry I This is not to be tolerated.

JOHN BULL ON SOUP MEAGRE. —The men tion of a dinner reminds me of a laughable circumstance with which I shall conclude. The s table in which the race-horses stand are at some distance at Boulogne, and the boys who attend them were necessarily victualled by a Frenchman in the neighbouring village. They could not understand the virtue of meagre soup and other washy diet, which reminded them, they said, of preparing a horse for his physic, and absolutely " struck work" as the term is amongst our English operatives. An old servant of mine, however, who keeps a public-house near Boulogne, soon settled the bash, by rounds of beef and hams, bottled ale and stoat, and the young John Bulls at once fancied them selves at home again.

(THIS DAY.) At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. MYLNE stated that he should take the paristes on Thursday morn ing, beginning at the bottom of the list and going back wards. Some of the lists, in which there were omissions, he would read over to-morrow, and fill them up. Mr. JARDINE said there was a new point raised yester day, in the case of the claim or Mr. Henry Wheeler, of the Carpenters' Company, he being a freeman of one com pany and liveryman of another; and he wished to ask Mr. Mylne if be had considered the point further, Mr. MYLNE had no doubt on the subject; the right of voting depended on two things, the freedom of the City and the livery of the Company—it had nothing to do with the freedom of the Company. Now, in the case of Mr. Wheeler, he had obtained the freedom of the City by ser vitude, and the freedom of the Company in which he was enrolled by purchase, and the mistake arose between the two. Mr. JARDINE said be did not rightly understand the poin at the time. Mr. MYLNE said that it was a mistake on the part of the clerk of the Company. It was clear this gentleman would have had a vote in respect of the freedom acquired by ser vitude under the old Act, and if he had that under the old law, of course he would under the new. The lists of the different Companies were then pro ceeded with, and considerable delay was caused by the non attendance of the clerks to the Companies. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY, SURREPTITIOUS TRANSIT OF EXCISABLE LIQUORS FROM THE LONDON DOCK. Wm. Napier, a young man of respectable appearance, was indicted for a misdemeanour, the charge being that in violation of the statutes of 18 Geo. 111., and 3 and 4 Wil. IV., he caused certain excisable liquors to be removed from the London Docks, with the intent to defraud her Majesty's Commissioners of Excise. Mr. Adolpus and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecu tion, Mr. Phillips and Mr. Clarkson for the defence. Mr. Anotenus stated the case for the prosecution, and called the following witnesses Henry Cole examined by Mr. BODKIN—Was Comp trol)er of the Customs' accounts in the London Docks ; it was his duty to superintend the warehousing of goods there, and to take care that no goods left without paying duty. Before the goods are taken out the duty must be paid to Mr. Willisnot at the Custom-house. When the payment is made a duplicate of the bill of entry is given to the party, in order that he may show that the duty is paid. When the original and duplicate are shown me I am satis fied that the duty is paid. It was then his duty to fill the the original document, and the duplicate is then taken to the Excise-office where it becomes their duty to grant a permit ; the witness bad r ece i ve d no original of the paper produced, which appears to be a du plicate. There are only two messengers employed in con veying duplicates to the Excise, of whom the prisoner is one, but he believed that sornetimes & other persons did that duty. It was the duty of the prisoner to keep a book, and enter in it all the duplicates conveyed to. the Excise by him. The duplicate produced is No. 34, but there was no entry of it in the prisoner's book. A person named Wheelright had charge of the goods in question, and when the forgery was discovered be absconded. About the 13th of June last it was discovered that a large quantity of brandy had been surreptitiously obtained from the London Docks. Upon this discovery being made, witness went with a person named Jones to the office of the prisoner in the Docks, and then it was that he discovered a large quantity of forged orders. As he left the office he met the prisoner, and gave him into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—Was not aware that the duplicates were filled up by any other person than the person who was employed in the delivery of the goods Did not know that they were filled up by officers of the Customs. Could not find the original of the duplicate produced. There was nothing but the hand-writing that had induced him to believe that the duplicate had been in the hands of the prisoner. , Witness seized the brandy himself. Mr. Willimott was the receiver of duties in the Long room of the Custom-house. Parties landing goods pre sented bills of entry, and there was a duplicate upon the same paper. When the duty was paid, witness signed both duplicate and original, and they were forwarded from the Custom-house by two messengers. No duty h a d b een paid by virtue o f th e duplicate produced. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—He received these documents sometimes in print, and at other times in writ ing. His own signature was the only material part of the warrant, and the filling up in the body was quite immate rial ; any person might do that. Thomas Whiting—Was an officer of the Customs, Knew the defendant, and was well acquainted with hi s hand-writing. Believed the body of the duplicate pro duced to be in the hand-writing of the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—Witness was a grocer and cbeesemonger as well as a clerk in the Custom house. Had only been in the Custom-house about two years, and when he entered that service he transferred the grocery business to his sister, because he did not think it right that a person belonging to the. Customs should carry on a business that required an excise license. Knew a person of the name of Ranger, and .had seen him two days before the discovery of this mater. Witness was the cause of the inquiry being insti tuted, as he had his suspicion that Ranger was carrying on illicit transactions, and when he ascertained that he had brandy in his house, witness, at the direction of Mr. Cole, bought two gallons of him. This took place two days previous to the seizure. He paid Ranger 255. a gallon for the brandy, which was worth at least 325. Never bought brandy from him without the advice of Mr. Cole. He was a tobacconist when he, witness, became acquainted with him ; but be believed he had previously been a servant at the Carlton Club. Became acquainted with him through his wife. He believed the writing in the warrant was like the prisoner's hand,%riting in his book. Richard Ryder was in the employ of the Customs, and knew the prisoner. Had often seen his handwriting, and believed that in the body of the warrant to be his. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Thought the writ ing in part of the body of the instrument was disguised. The D's were different from the prisoner's general style of writing. Had known Wheelwright to be a locker in the Customs for the last two years. He had absconded. Could not say when be saw him last. They had drank brandy together in the vaults. Did not know whose it was, and* did not care. The duty was paid, and it was only what was called " tast in.."—(Laughter.) Believed that Wheelwright ab scon d e d about' two days after the seizure. Re-examined by Mr. BODK IN—The brandy they drank 1413 taken out in the course Ow duty of Wheelwright. Fiedetick Russ v• as an r.ffiet:r in the London Doeks; lieved the body of the papers :produe-d to him were in the handwriting of the prisoner, although there secmcd some difference in the style. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—The writing was :!,reatly similar to the prisotea's. Had heard that Custom house officers had filled up warrants, but never saw any officer do it. Any one that paid duty wrote out the docu ments. _ . _ Alexander Anderson, who was an officer in the Customs, stated that he believed the figures in the document pro duced not to be in the prisor;er's handwriting. The warrants were then put in and read. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr PHILLIPS then rose to, address the Jury for the de fendant. He complained of the unjust manner in which the prosecution had been conducted, all the witnesses at the back of the bill not baying been produced, and one es pecially, of the name of Jones, who had been examined before the Magistrates aad the Grand Jury, when he stated that he did not: believe the documents to be in the handwriting of the prisoner. All the wit nesses that bad been called were more or less interested in the conviction of the -prisoner, because it would have the effect of throwing the suspicion from themselves. And what were the Jury called upon by the prosecutor to do ? Why nothing less than to convict a man of forgery upon mere suspicion. At the conclusion of the Learned Counsel's address, the Jury retired for a quarter of an hour to take some refresh. ment : and on their return, The Foreman and the Jury were satisfied the evidence had not made out any case against the prisoner. The Jury then declared him to be—Not Guilty. NEW COURT. Sarah Edwards was indicted for stealing one watch, one pair of trowsers, one waistcoat, and a quantity of other clothing, the property of 'Maim Lydamore, a sailor. Mr. PRENDERGAST appeared as counsel for the prisoner, and advised her to withdraw her plea of Not guilty. Mr. PHILLIPS appeared for the prosecution, and said the poor sailor was very anxious to recommend the poor woman to the merciful consideration of the Court. He was going out of the country, and left his boxes in the possession of the prisoner. He had learned that during the period of his absence she bad fallen into very bad circumstances; he was, therefore, anxious only to get his things back again, and not to injure the woman further. She had previously borne a very good character. The Learned JUDGE said the off•'nce was a very bad one, and ought to be punished by transportation. In con sequence of the recommendation of the prosecutor, and the advanced age of the prisoner, the sentence of the Court was, that she be imprisoned in the House of Correction for the space of three calendar months. The other cases which occupied the attention of the Court and Jury were for picking pockets in the street. There was no peculiarity about them. MIDDLESEX SE S SIONS. (THIS DAY.) These Sessions commenced this morning, at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell, before a full Bench of Magistrates; Mr. MqVturam in the Chair. The Grand Jury haring been sworn, the CHAIRMAN proceeded to charge them, and in so doing congratulated them on the lightness of the calendar, which contained the names of five prisoners only charged with felony. He begged they would recollect that it was not their duty to try the prisoners, but only to look to one part of the case ; at the same time he would remind them that they were not to find a bill without examining all the witnesses, as the last witness on an indictment might give such evidence as would render further proceedings unnecessary. Amongst the persons claiming exemption from serving an the Jury Lists was a Mr. M‘Farlane, who claimed exemption on the ground of having served twice in thirteen year.:, which he did not think could have happened had all the inhabitants been summoned fairly. The CHAIRMAN said it was impossible a gentleman of such experience could be excused. _(A laugh.) Another Juryman claimed exemption on the ground of being a schoolmaster. A MAGISTRATE—Then you can give the boys a holiday, Sir.—( A laugh.) Philip Bridges was indicted for stealing two candle sticks, the property of Joseph Belfit, on the 30th August last. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Ti prei. cu. or i a publican, 1 , -;,,filut; at Fullmm,..tshitno the (ire.) bound I nn. O n t h e d ay guL .tic,ci ai. prisoner came to the presecutor'shouse, and bad something to drink. After the prisoner had left prosecutor missed the candlesticks. He to:lowed the prisoner and gave him into custody, and on searching him the candlesticks were found in his pocket. The prisoner said he WPS intoxicated at the time, and never put the candle sticks in his pocket ; he thought some one must have put them there fur a lark. . William Mabyn, a beershop-keeper, had known the prisoner thirty years, and always believed him to be an honest man. Mr. TuLa, who had in the mean time taken the chair, summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner guilty, but recommended him to mercy. He was sentenced to one month's imprisonment, with hard labour—one week to be solitary. HaMilton Murray pleaded not guilty to the charge of stealing 2lbs. weight of bacon, the property of Joseph Whatley Dicks. It appeared that the prisoner, on the evening of the 23d August, came to the shop of the pro secutor, and purchased a rasher of bacon, and on his quitting the shop the boy who served him missed a piece of bacon. The boy followed him, and the prisoner droppod the bacon from under his jacket. The prisoner put in a written defence, in which he pleaded intoxication by way of excuse. He called several respectable witnesses to character, all of whom spoke of him in the highest terms. The CHAIRMAN having summed up, the Jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to one fortnight's imprisonment, with . bard labour. He bad been in prison ever since the 23d August. Articles of the peace were exhibited by Mr. PREN.• DERGASTt, at the instance of -Mrs. Lyon, against her husband, William Joseph Lyon, Esq., of No. 7, Claremont, wbo was ordered to be bound over to keep the peace, himself in 1001., and two sureties in 50/. each. George Gosling, indicted for sealing two cloths and a seat cover, was acquitted on the ground of insanity, but under the circumstances, the prosecutor was allowed his expenses. 'WARNING TO GEOLOGISTS.—Dr. Edward Delany, Robert Millet, and Robert Neskey, all of whom, from their appearance, seemed to move in a respectable sphere of society, were indicted for stealing half a bushel of gravel, the property of the Commissioners for improving Camden Town. They all pleaded Not Guilty. .Mr. PRENDERGAST said that he appeared for the COM. missioners fur Paving and Improving Camden Town, who, in the discharge of their duty, had thought it right to pro secute these parties. Now, although no doubt could exist that the prisoners had acted very improperly, yet he entertained strong legal doubts as to whether the offence committed amounted to felony. He thought it his duty, however, to state that the case differed in • many respects from the cases usually brought before that Court. There was no felonious intent on the part of the pri soners. They were, in fact, selecting curious pebbles but they had unfortunately selected too many to the great injury of the road. The only intention of the Commis sioners was that this should act as a warning to others, and as the publicity given to the case would have that effect, he did not intend to offer any evidence foi the prosecution. At the same time he though it his duty to state that the prosecutors had not adopted this course on account of any payment of money on the part of Dr. Delany, but because they entertained legal doubts as to being able to make out the charge of felony. Mr. HEATON, for the prisoners, having expressed his consent to the course proposed, the prisoners were ac. quitted. One or two other cases of no public interest having been disposed of, the Court adjourned at two o'clock. MANSION-HOUSE-(TH ES DAY. Mary Ann Corden, wife of the master of a Dover smack, was brought up by an officer, who stated that, about two o'clock this morning, she was found in the mud near the lower end of Tower-street, and that some sailors took her out of the river, and placed her on board a ves sel, from which she was removed to the station-house. The LORD MAYOR inquired how she happened to be found in such a situation? The husband replied that she was drunk, and that she had thrown herself overboard four times. She swore bitterly at the man who pulled her out of the river. The prisoner was discharged. GUILDHALL -(THIS DAY.) Susan Payton, with an infant in her arms, net twelve months old, was charged with having stolen a scarf, of the value of 155., from a shop. The prisoner was seen to take the scarf, and place it be tween herself and child. She afterwards dropped it on the floor, and was then given into custody. The prisoner, in her defence, said the scarf must have been taken up by the child. She knew nothing of it. Mr. Boyle said if the prisoner had a good character, he did not wish to press the charge. She was remanded in order to afford time for inquiry. DONCASTER RACES. (YESTERDAY.) The Fitzwilliam Stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 30 - - - - - added. Mile and half.

THE DUKE.—A novel under this name, of which the scene is laid in the present day, will be imme diately published. The story is based on the contrasted fortunes of two branches of a noble family—the one, liv ing in pomp and luxury, and the other groaning under the complicated evils of poverty. In the singular incidents arising from closeness of relationship and diversity of social position, much of the interest of the story will be found to consist ; and the authoress, with the fine tact of her sex, has taken advantage of this anomalous juxtaposition to bring into strong light the condition of the human heart as rn , ditied by the artificial influence of high rank and fa shion. As a gentleman was bathing on Friday morning in the Serpentine river, in Hyde-park, he nearly met with his death under the following singular circumstances : It 'appears that Mr. Ashton, tailor, of No. 17, Pall mall, is in possession of a very large and sagacious Newfound land dog, and the gentleman, who is a friend of Mr. Ash ton's, took the dog with him on going to bathe, for the purpose of exercising him in the water. The gentlemen having stripped himself of his clothes, plunged into the water and swam towards the centre of the stream, followed by the dog. The animal seeing the gentleman swimming about in the water supposed he was drowning, swam di rectly towards the spot, seized the hair of his head in his mouth, and, elevating his head considerably above the water, proceeded to drag him towards the shore. The gentleman became excessively alarmed, and struggled vio lently to get away, but the dog resolutely kept his hold. This strange contest continued for some minutes in the water until the gentleman was quite exh auste d . An alarm ro d he was then raised, and the m en bel,4:ging t o t h e H umane off ffi medical in their r ie bo l assistance boats sand arrivedjust in ti me to being cure was found to be very much injured from the P steeiehtlim. put Upon incisions made residence by the dog's teeth.

WINDSOR, MONDAY. --His Grace the Duke of Wel lington arrived at the Palace at fOur o'clock this after noon, on a visit to her Majesty. Soon after the arrival of the Noble Duke the Queen rode out on horseback, ccompanied by his Grace, their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians, Viscount Melbourne, Lady F.. Cowper, Viscount Palmerston, and Sir Hamilton Sey mour, and attended by a numerous party of the Royal suite, including the Hon. Miss Spring Rice, Baroness Lehzen, Miss Quentin, the Earl of Fingal, Colonel Wemyss, Hon. W. Cowper, Earl of Surrey, Sir Robert Otway, and Sir George Quentin ; Lady - Lytteltoo, Madame d'Hooghvorst, Lady Charlotte Dundas, and Lady Harriet Clive followed the Royal equestrian party into the Park in carriage and four. The Belgian Minister and Maiame Van der Weyer took their departure from the Castle this, morning for town. The following distinguished visitors are expected to arrive this evening at the Castle :—Baron Werther, the Prussian Charge d'Affaires ; Mons. de Kisseleff (of the Russian Embassy) ; Earl of Minto, Viscount Tor rington, Sir Edward and Lady Cust, Sir Robert and Lady Gardiner, and Mr. C.

Notwithstanding the heavy rains which fell yesterday, the arrivals were numerous, and there was a tolerable muster, at the betting-rooms in the evening. Speculation, however, was flat, and would not be worth notice but for two or three changes which took place in the St. Leger. Charles XII. was backed at 6 tb 4, and was in high favour ; not so Bloomsbury, about whom 7 to 2 was offered—there was an evident feeling against him. Eucdd was at 10 to 1 ; Fitzambo, first at 25, and afterwards 20, to 1 (taken) ; the Provost, at 20 to 1 ; Hettnan Platoff, at 25 to 1 (takers), and Hyllus at 30 to 1. sto 1 was taken that Fitzroy wins the 2-yr old stakes on Thursday. The weather this morning was equally unfavourable ; an im mense quantity of rain had fallen in the course of the night, and the country in many parts was flooded. This will do seri. ous injury to the farmers whose crops are not yet in. Between Doncaster and Sheffield many fields of wheat, cut but not car ried, are almost afloat. Owing to the same cause the racecourse is exceedingly heavy, especially at the lower part, near the Red House. Scott's horses have arrived this morning, in two lots. In the first were—MajorYarburgh's bl f Lollypop. 3 yrs—Mr. Bowes's ch f Mickleton Maid, 3 yrs--Colonel Anson's b f.

(From our . e ) ders the It is painful the duty DubD ub D ublin Evening Packet .) o ac u k r ei r a following heart-rending account of the cont i nue d mortality among the 76th Regiment at Demerara, which has been extracted from a letter received by. the relative of a surviving member of the corps, who resides near this city. The letter alluded to covers a period of six days, from the 15th to the 20th of July. It is in the following words and figures : " Demerara, July 15, 1839. " iglu last letter went to you by the last mail, and this will go by a privato vessel. Since I wrote many fine fellows have breathed their last. Hopkins died on the 29th of June, Dickenson on the 10th of July, and Colonel Dansey on the 12th. The following officers are very bad indred :—Captain Bruce, Lieute nant Tydd, Ensign Whitter, Doctors Birrill and Pres ton ; and the Misses and Mrs. Preston are also in fever. There are only two officers of the regiment fit for duty. They, you may well imagine, have plenty to do, there being no colonel, no major, no captain, no paymaster, quartermaster, sergeant, sergeant-major, or doctor. There are not enough of men to inter the dead, and black troops are employed for thaNpurpose. The Com mandant has been prevailed on to allow the remainder of the regiment to he removed from its barracks. The men will move to-morrow into town. There were fifty men detached yesterday, and fifty more will move to morrow, to outposts, for change of air. There will then be only fifty men at head-quarters. " July 16.—Five men have died since I commenced this letter, and many, 1 fear, will follow. " July 20.—The vessel to convey this has been de tained, and I have opened it to tell you that poor Bruce died last night, after five days' illness. He was a nephew of General Cuppage, who lives at Coelock, near Dublin. This yellow fever is a frightful disease. Poor Colonel Dansey was but forty-eight hours ill. The command of the regiment has devolved on Lieutenent and Adjutant J. Gore Ferns, until the arrival of Captain Gardiner, from Berbice. It is a rare occurrence that a Lieutenant commands a regiment. The Court of Policy are pay ing for lodgings for men in the town. Six o'Cleck.—l am just returned from buryin g po or Bruce and five others.

This story, of course. was rather alarming—handbills were issued offering a reward of fifty pounds to any one who should brine- back the men so that constable and Magis trates might have a little conversation with them—there was the bayonet with something on its point looking as much like blood as it was possible for rust to do—and seve ral good dames in the neighbourhood decl-red they thought something dreadful would happen after the display of the nothern lichts last week.
