~ HAMBURG AND GERMAN PAPERS. (RECEIVED TIIIS MORNING) BERLIN. SErr. 2.—lt is a proof that more reliance is placed on the continuance of peace, that extensive plans for building in the capital have been resolved upon. Among others, we may mention the University, which is to be begun in the spring, and the expense of which is estimated at 200,000 dollars. STUTTGARD, AUG. 30.—1 t is said that we are to have a militia in the whole kingdom, and that the King has already approved of the regulations. Though this is only a report, it seems that the public are every where highly pleased with it. The citizens feel that they are able to raise an army in defence of their King and country, and hope that by this means a reduction may be made in the expensive military establishment, though they have no other objection to make to the soldiers, with whom they live on good terms. BREMEN. Aco. 30.—The President of the Unit-T1 Sates of North America has lately dismissed our fellow citizen, M. Wichelson, who wss appointed General Con sul for Arni-rha, in this city, when Washington was Pre sident, and his conferred this very lucrative office on an American, Nathaniel Pearce. That this Mr. Pearce has solicited this pest, and come hither, has caused a great sensation among our merchant-, because several houses have lost large sums hy his ankruptey, and he has paid no composition ; and he hail scarcely arrived here, when he was put under arrest by his creditors, and there he is likely to remain for some time, as be has nothing to offer, and nobody will give security for him. Many of our principal merchants have presented an address to the Senate, in which they request it not to recognise Mr. Pearce, because it must he disagreeable to them, and to all merchants trading from Bremen to the United States, to lay brf.re this man the certificates, invoices, and other papers relative to their transactions. In compliance with this address, the Senate has refused to recognise the new American Consul, and has sent the necessary communica tions to Washington. STocKnot.m: Auo. 31.—The State Gazette an nounces as certain, that the King has resolved to celebrate in a becoming manner the twn hundredth anniversary of the death of the gre it King, Gustavus Adolphus IL, that an obelisk of granite is to be erected in his honour at Up sal (because the capital already pos , esses his statue), and that all the preparations are so far advanced that the in auguration of the monument will take place nn the 6th of November, 1832, the anniversary in qu,tion. STOCKHOL', AVG. 31.—We hear that the report of Dr. Setterblad on the disorder on board the Chapman frigate has been received, and that it seems pretty certain that the disease was really the Asi,:tic cholera. It is for tunate for the country that it has been of such short dura tion. The marriace of Count B. V. Platen, son of the late Admiral and Governor of Norway, with the Countess de only child of Count de Geer, was celebrated on tl:e '7th at Loels.a, an estate, the annual revenue of which is estimated at 300,000 rix dollars, Banco money. HAMBURG, SEI"r. 7.—The Cassel Universal Gazette says, that the three principal men in Brunswick, suspected of being concerned in the intrigues of the Countess of Wrisburg, were :Icquitted on the 25th August, after thres months' imprisonment. They are Lieut -Colonel Hen- Dings, Counsellor Fricke, and Counsellor Bohlken. EXCHANGES ON LONDON. HAMIH7RC., SEPT. 7.-13 13V, ; two months, 13 12. PETERSBURGH, Arc. 31.—Three months, 10 21-32.

LAKE OF GENEVA, Ace.. 13.—The extraordinary heat which has prevailed, almost without intermission, for nine weeks, has produced phenomena in the countries bor dering our lake, to which there is no parallel on record. At Geneva a spontaneous combustion took place in the churchyard of Plain Palais, though in a rather damp plain (plana pains.) The high grass on the graves, the cypress and fir trees, took fire, and it was necessary to bring the engines to extinguish it, which was effected, but net without difficulty. A more remarkable ev, nt took place in Savoy, near the village of 31agland (province of Falicigny). All at once the alarm bell was sotveled, not only in the village, but the whole surrounding country and in the whole valley, to summon the inhabitants with all speed to extinguish a dangerous ii:e of a kind hitherto unheard of ; for it was not lk,uses, or trees, or heath that was burning, but the roots of the trees, two feet under the ground. This strange fire began at Seine (in the commune of Arrache). Nothing appeared on the surface, the furze and bushes were untouched, till at once several trees fell, and were then consumed by the fire that burnt from their roots. The people, indeed, felled the wood, that the fire might not spread, and would willingly have turned up the ground to extinguish the fire that was burning the roots ; but in the terrible drought, where were they to get water ? This subterraneous fire, there fore, consumed ' 3 50 acres of fine forest. The fear of the subterraneous fire had such an effect on the inhabitants, that many villages—for instance, Colsane, were wholly deserted, and as the people were also afraid of going into the forest, they remained exposed to the scorching rays of the sun (generally 46 deg. of Reauneur, 112 deg. Fahren heit). in the naked plain, where the wells began to dry up. This subterraneous fire is, doubtless, closely con nected with the flames which at the same time issued from the earth in several places in Lausanne. The rain which came a few days ago, and considerably lowered the tem perature, seems to have checked this fire, though many persons fear that the rain was by no means of sufficiently long continuance to penetrate so deep into the ear , h as to remove all danger of the fires beginning again on the return of hot and dry weather, such as seems to be setting in. Allgetneine Zeitung, Sept. 4. DEPARTURE OF THE EX-KING OF FRANCE. —Preparations are now making for the departure of CHARLES X. and his suite from this country, for Gratz, in Styria. e illustrious exiles have comported them selves in a quiet unobtrusive manner during their short stay at Holyro,d, and have enjoyed the confidence and esteem of many o. the not ility and gentry in the city and nei hi ourhood. It is said the cause of their removal is connected with the mad attempts of the Duchess de IlEant to counter-revolutionize France in favour of HENRY V.; but this is mere conjectu: e. There can be no doubt, how ever, that the expedition of the Duchess was planned in the secret councils at Holyrooci.—Scotsman.

In four counties, having from 200 to 250 on the square mile, each 100 marriages produced 388 births. In five counties, having from 250 to 300 on the square mile, each 100 marriages produced 378 births. In three counties, hay. ing !rum 300 to 350 on the square mile, each 100 mar riages produced 353 births. In two counties, having from 500 to 600 on the square mile, each 100 marriages produced 331 births. In the metropolitan county each 100 marriages produced 246 births.— Scrtsman. Admiral CODRINGTON, who is a candidate for Devonpnrt and Stenelionse, received last week an in vitation to mortal combat from a geutieman of the name of AVoor.comnic, who had taken offence at something which had been written or spoken by Sir Enwartn. The liefo of Navarino, however, had no taste for this mode of set tling a dispute, and, at a dinner given to him a few days afterwards, he alluded to the alfair as follows :—" It might, perhaps, be thought that he was fond of fighting, but there was no man who liked it less; and he never, in his life, took his ship's company into action without feeling a heavy responsibility as to the necessity of risking their lives. He thought the Town Hall the proper place for settling a dispute like that between Mr. WOOLCOM BE and himself, and he should be glad to meet bin there, and the constituency would then be able to judge who was in the wrong." Our fighting dandies of all descriptions may take a lesson from the conduct of Admiral ConitINGTON. There are few men who possess that species of moral cou rage which dictated this avowal on the part of Sir En • WARD. PRICKS OF STOCKS TFIIS Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red. '1 per Cent.Cnns.

W., we say for the pre sent— " Take the good the Gods provide thee, Lovely Thais walks beside thee." O . sfi ) t._ l Z) '. A - ibk. o w t2/25) fi t tt • ;:;:e.,-,T `----- LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 11, 1832. The Marquis of PALMELLA has not vet left town, but he is expected to do so this day. The French Ambassador, M. DE ATAREun, has been for the last two or three days on a visit to Lord COWPER, at Penshanger. It is believed th It a political object is connected with this visit. We find by authentic accounts from Paris that an active intrigue has been going on there for some time past for modifications in the Mi nistry, and that the Ultra-Liberal party have latterly gained ground. We are authorised to state that there is not the slightest truth in the statement of the i'Jessager des Chambres, that the French Cabinet have evinced a disposition to enter into a treaty with Russia. We are sorry to perceive that some of our contemporaries, under a mistaken idea that they are rendering service to the Constitutional Por tuguese cause, take a very partial view of the state of the contest between the forces of the Usurper and those of the legitimate QUEEN, concealing facts which are unfavourable to the Constitutionalists, and exaggerating in an extra ordinary degree all that appears favourable to their hopes. It is an old adage, that a true cause can only be served by truth. The Marquis of PALMELLA, and the other honourable men who represent Don PEDRO in this country, have acted up to this adage to an extent which will entitle them to high and permanent credit, what- • ever may be the result of the enterprize in which they are engaged. Why cannot their partizans of the public Press do the same ? Among many falsehoods of the past week we have seen it stated that two large ships of war and three steam-boats had been purchased and sent out to Oporto ; that 1,600 men in one body had actually embarked for that city ; that money was plentiful ; and even that the British Government had acknowledged the Portuguese Regency and ade facto Queen. Now the facts are, that no large ships of war have yet been sent out, and that the 1,600 men were 390 inKuitry and 60 cavalry ; that there has been great difficulty indeed in obtaining money for the service of the young QUEEN ; and that the Bri tish Government has refused to recognise either the government of a Regency, or that of Donna MARIA as Sovereign (le facto of the country of which de jure she is Queen. Nay, more, we will go farther and state, that at the very time when some of the English newspapers were de scribing the prospects of the Constitutionalists in Oporto as cheering in the extreme, the army was in a state of total discouragement, and the officers had implored the EMPEROR to provide for his own safety by flight, whilst the army should make a desperate and indeed hopeless attempt to cut through the Miguelites and leave their bones to whiten on the soil of their birth. The EM PEROR, with tears in his eyes, acknowledged this devotion, which was worthy of the highest period of historical romance,•but wisely remon strated with his officers, and bade them not de spair. He was right; the prospect has brightened, and Portugal may yet be free ; but let our readers note how nearly the cause was forfeited at the very moment when the over-zealous par.ti zans of Don PEDRO in this country were de scribing it as full of life. We hope it is not necessary for us to say hat we are Pedroites to the heart's core. Where ever liberty is threatened, there is our sympathy with the object endangered ; wherever a blow is to be aimed at despotism, there will be our support and advocacy on the side of the patriots who strike the blow. Through good report or evil report we have ever been on the side of freedom. The public know it well—we need not say, that we shall ever be the same ; but let us not forget our duty as Journalists, and forfeit confidence by the concealment or exaggeration of farts, The real situation of things in Portugal is this :—The people of Witt country, even inclu ding nine-tenths of the inhabitants of Oporto , disappointed at the arrival of a force of 8,000 men with Don PEDRO, when they expected 15,000, and alarmed at the recollection of the vengeance taken after the fai ure of the expedition in 1828, by the blood-stained monster who has usurped the throne, remain apparently, but not in reality, indifferent to the contest between the competitors for the crown. Nine-tenths of the educated and influential part of the population are for Don PEDRO in heart ; but looking at the smallness of his force, and knowing that if he should be compelled to give way, they would he exposed to a heavy and cruel retribution from Don MIGUEL, they await anxiously the arrival of reinforcements, which would enable the EMPEROR to commence active operations against the enemy, and encourage open declarations in his favour from his friends. Those reinforce ments are slowly but gradually arriving ; and if PEDRO can only resist one general attack from the besieging army—and resist it he will—the lateness of the season, and the scarcity of pro visions, will compel the enemy to withdraw from the neighbourhood of Oporto, leaving the country open for the Constitutionalists to act with their cavalry, and, as the Marquis of PAL- M ELLA sensibly observed to Lord PALMER STON, changing the whole character of the war. It will be seen, therefore, that nothing is wanting but a little further pecuniary aid from the people of this country, who have a decided interest in supporting the Constitutionalists, in a commer cial as well as a political point of view, to make the cause of Don PEDRO one of certain and entire success ; and, considering that the false or exaggerated accounts which have appeared were calculated to lull the British public into a belief that the cause was already secured, we hope we shall be rendering it an effectual service by point ing out the necessity of further aid. With respect to the conduct of our Govern ment, we cannot say that it has been either so politic or so generous as it ought to have been. In a commercial view it was bound to support Don PEDito, for he promised as the condition of support advantages to our merchants, which, under no other circumstances, they could expect to gain. Politically, too, the obligation was equally, if not more strong. As there is an alliance of despots in one part of Europe, so ought there to be an alliance of freemen else where. Great Britain, France, Portugal, and eventually Spain, would form this alliance, and prove an effectual barrier to the avowed attempt of those despots to subjugate the whole civilized world. Lord PA LifERSTON and his colleagues may bitterly repent their conduct in this respect ; but it is some satisfaction to us to know, that they have recalled the British Miguelite Consul frlm Oporto, and appointed a Constitutionalist in his place; and that the Marquis of PA L MEL LA proceeds to Oporto in a Government ship, with a Messenger from the Foreign-office, who is the bearer of despatches from our Court. We refer to the extracts under the head of German Papers for an account of a singular subterraneous fire, which has destroyed the roots of a fine forest in Switzerland. New York Papers, to the 17th of August, have been received. If we may credit the news in them from Mexico, the negociations lately going on between SANTA ANNA and the Mexi can Government, have been broken off. The cholera was spreading in North America, but with abated virulence. We draw attention to some particulars respect ing the Kendal Reform Jubilee, which will be found in another column, wherein Mr. J. BRouGunm satisfactorily refutes the stupid ca lumnies long so industriously circulated against his illustrious relation, that because his original plan of Reform was more moderate than the one just carried, therefore he wa s a lukewarm Reformer. " I think you will agree with me," said the Hon. Gentleman, " that a Member in Opposition has but little chance of carrying as efficient a measure as a Member in power ; this was the situation in which my bro ther was placed, but, I state it fearlessly, there is not a keener Reformer in the Cabinet." The Post of this morning makes an urgent but insidious appeal to the " class of agricul tural voters," exhorting them not to '' permit themselves to be deceived at the next election by vague and indefinite professions," and hinting that the Reformed Parliament will make vigo rous attempts to procure a measure " detrimental to the agricultural interest." This appeal, which, like the majority of our cotemporary's diatribes, is bottomed on delusion, will, no doubt, meet with the reception it deserves—the contempt and ridicule of every agriculturist who knows how to count ten on his fingers. So far from attempting any measure " detrimental" to the farmer's interests, it will he the express ob ject of a Reformed Parliament to protect such interests to the utmost,—to a far greater degree, in fact, than they were ever protec'ed by the Ultras ; for monopoly is not protection, but a mere flimsy, temporary,bulwark, which gives way before the first assault of common sense. The great object the nation had in view when it thundered for Reform, was that the balance might be so carefully adjusted between the agricultural and the commercial interests, as that neither should flourish to the detriment of the other, hut both be equal gainers by such adjustment. Our co temporary is far too shrewd not to be aware of this, but it does not suit his purpose to say so. None are so blind as those that will not see. Another of those deplorable squabbles, grow ing out of the iniquitous tithe system, has jus t occurred in Ireland. As usual, a Protestan t clergyman was mixed up with the matter, and, as usual, blood was shed, and lives were lost. Mr. STANLEY must by this time, we hope, be pretty nearly convinced of the utter inutility o f a ll hi s boasted propositions for the adjustment of the tithe question. He must see that at the best, he has lopped off but one head from the Hydra ; that he has been experimentalizing with the ex tremities, when he should have struck at once to the vitals of the grievance. What mute, but ex pressive comments on all his vaunted tithe reme dies, are the eternal marchings and counter marchings of the police and the military, in de fence of an establishment whose doctrines are based on charity, whose first and most imperative commands are " peace on earth and good-will towards all men !" The Irish Church is not metaphorically, but literally, the " true Church militant." It advocates its claims at the point of the bayonet, it enforces them by the thunder of the cannon. Alas, what a system must that he which requires such means to uphold it ! Yet its advocates cannot yet see that it is rotten at the core, but think that with a few slight, tem porary props, they shall be able to bolster up an edifice, not a beam or railer in which but is hourly tumbling to pieces. The tithe system is indeed worn out, and nothing but its total abolition can now pacify Ireland. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

Montrf-al Papers to the 10th of August, Quebec to the same date, and 13omlay to the 26th of April, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Montreal Papers.) We subjoin the reports of the Board of Health for the last two days. and could wish they were more favourable : New cases of cholera in private practice from the 6th to the 7th of August, 9 ; Deaths, Catholic ground, S ; Pro testant, 8 ; total 16. New cases in private practice from the 7th to the Bth of August, 6 ; Deaths, Catholic ground, 11 ; Protestant, 5 ; total 16. (From the Quebec Papers.) The old Quebec Gazette asserts that a number of dis. appointed emigrants have returned home in the outward heund vessels which have lately sailed from this port, and more would follow if they had the means. In Quebec and Montreal they often run a good chance of starv ing for want of employment, and find, when employed, that they earn less than they did at home. This is the real state of things with respect to the lower towns in Canada. The cholera report in this city hardly shows any abatement, and some fatal cases continue to occur. A gentleman writes from New York, says the Balti more Paper, that it is estimated that upwards of 20,000 French, inhabit that city, and that but two of the number have died with the cholera. Total of emigrants arrived at Quebec, 43,921 ; the number arrived to the above date in 1831 was 40,100. The Bombay Papers are void of information of any Consequence. We have a great number of arrivals of ship letters this morning, with some from Oporto, but we do not bear that they bring any thing of importance. DAY A C ONY O'CLOCK. New 5 per Cent.

According to the accounts from Dover, there appears to he a g►eat hustle in our diplomatic department. Couriers arrive there in wholesale, and embark immediately on board steamers, with pressing orders to proceed to their destinations ; hut their despatches as yet are a profound secret, which causes ra , her some anxiety amongst our city speculators, who are anxious to ascertain if they re late to peace or war. From the seat of war in Portugal we do not as yet bear of any other information than that things remai❑ in the same state as in our previous accounts. The Britannia, no doubt, has brought late information from Lisbon, but the contents have not yet transpired. Consols, which loft off yesterday at 85 to for the Ac count, opened at the same price this morning, with little doing. NALF-PAST ONE. A letter is in town from Admiral Sartorius's ship, dated off the Bar of Lisbon, September 3, to the following purport : . . " W, are again in our old berth, and we have infor mation that all the officers on hoard Don Miguel's fleet have been dismissed, with the exception of the Admiral Don John Felix. We also hear that Don Miguel has ordered his fleet to put to sea in a day or two ; therefore, in all probability we shall soon have to give you an account of a battle, as it is Sartorius's positive intention to give them battle, having been reinforced by two gun brigs. All we he. from Oporto is, that on the 25th ult. the .liguelite Generals made an attack on the north side of Oporto, but were repulsed with some loss of men. Consols have reached 85ii a for the Account ; since which the M ,rket is not quite so good, and at present they ma y be quoted 85 to i ll. The regular pack.t trom Oporto is anxiously looked for, which, no doubt, will bring late dates from that quarter. In the Foreign Market the chief business doing was in Brazilian Stock, which has experienced a decline during the morning of I 1 per cent., owing to the unfavourable inte,ligence of some cominotions having taken place at Per nambuco, which has given a fright to the holders of the above security.

Yesterday was the last public bet ting-day but one previous to the Great St. Leger, which will be run for on Thurs day next ; the muster of sporting men was numerous, and business brisk. Several horses were backed ; in fact, it is not within our recollecion when the field for this fa mous race has been composed of so many good public horses, or when they have met upon such equal terms, and although the amount at issue upon it is much smaller than of old, it is allowed to be the most interesting St. Leger that has been known for many years—nothing but a really superior horse can win it. The favourites most in demand yesterday were Retainer, Matgrave, Fang, and Nitocris, all of whom were backed freely ; the odds were also taken about Julius, Brother to Maria, and Trustee, but without effecting any important change of position. The closing prices were as under:— DONCASTER ST.

The inhabitant Ladies and Gentlemen of Greenwich yesterday gave a coat and silver badge, together with about 201. in money, to the apprentices Just out of their time, to be contested for in five heats by bix pair of sculls. The following six were entered to contend for the honorary dis tinction : James Savage Green Edward Perceval Yellow William Young Pink James Morgan Blue Richard West Orange John Elliot Red The distance, as usual, extended the whole Iront of the town, starting from the Royal Hospital. West, Morgan, Perceval, and Young, started fur the fourth heat, and West and Perceval, as the two first men of this, were entitled to row for the grand heat. It was grand in point of beautiful rowing, but the fourth heat, in wagers of this length, is the only one that deserves that appellation. The mis managers started the two candidates at dark. Perceval took the lead, and rowed beautifully ; a finer sculler the greatest admirers of river sports could not wish to see. He took the lead and never lost it, winning by thirty lengths or more. 8011 7 .11 VG MATCH. - _ A very pretty double-scull wager took place yesterday for a purse of sovereiges, given by the Ladies and Gentle men inhabitants of St. John's and St. Margaret's, West minster. The men were nearly all good ones, and each who knew their merits as watermen was convinced that the spectators would receive sonic gratification ; and we are happy to say that the public anticipation was fulfilled to the very letter. The following had been entered to contend for the prize:— Joseph Howell and Edward Howell I ight Blue James Stewart and William May, jun Yellow William Butcher and Samuel Hitchin Green Edward Burch, jun. and John Jones, sen Red John Elliott and William Sewell, jun Pink. Tile dist Ince was to start from Westminster-bridge through Vauxhall-bridge, down the Middlesex shore, round a boat off Richmond-terrace, and up to Westminster_ bridge. All five started for the first heat, and Pink came in last, entitling the other four boats to be state I for the second and grand heat. This heat was started from West. minster-Fridge downwards, to row through Waterloo bridge, up, round a boat cff the Penitentiary, and up to Westminster-bridge to finish the heat. The four started beautifully; the two Howells (brothers) soon obtained the advantage, and won in style. Their competitors never stood a chance.

Edward Howe, aged 30, a person of gentlemanly ap pearance, was indicted for robbing his employer, Mrs. Ann Hogard, silk-draper, of Waterloo-place, of laces, silks, and other goo;ls, to the amount of bAween 1,0001. and 2,0001. Mr. CLARKSON and Mr. BODKIN conducted the case for the prosecution, and M. AnoLritus and Mr. PHILLIPS for the defence. The floor of the Court was covered with the stolen property. . . Mr. Henry Ilogard, a son of the prosecutrix, deposed, that his father died in September, 1830, after which hie mother continued the business. The prisoner was em ployed by her as a shopman, and he had the manacement of the silk department. He left the prosecutrix's service in March last. In cross-examination he stated that all the silks, &c. were purchased by his father. Mr. Robert Bogard, another son of the prosecutrix, de posed, that during the time the prisoner was in her service, a quantity of property was missed, but he was not sus pected of taking it. On the 26th of July, in consequence of some private information, witness, accompanied by Bur ridge, an officer, went to the prisoner's apartments in Newman -street, Oxford-street, and the prisoner opened the door. They had no search warrant. The prisoner asked them to walk in the parlour. They afterwards went up stairs, and on their way the officer explained who he was, and what his business there was, add ing that they had come without a search warrant, and that if the prisoner objected to a search, &e. the officer would wait while the witness went for one. The officer stated, that it was suspected that he had some of Mrs. Hogard's property. On going into the prisoner's room they saw two boxes, one of which the pri soner opened, and handed witness a piece of cashtnere which belonged to his mother. The prisoner then wished to ,peak with witness alone, to which the officer objected. The prisoner then took them into another room, and pointed out two boxes of lace, which he said belonged to witness, but added, they might have been there for 17,000 years before he would have touched them ; he said he had been the dupe of another party, and he hoped witness would be merciful. The lace in the boxes amounted to about 1,100 yards, and was worth about 2501. About 160 yards of silk were also found in the apartment. Other property was afterwards recovered, amounting in the whole to about 1,5001. Edward Burridge, an officer, corroborated the preced ing testimony. A great deal of property which the pri soner had sent to Bristol for sale was also recovered. On his person three duplicates were found of property belong ing to the prosecutrix, which bad been pawned. Cross-examined—The prisoner said, after he gave up the lace, that he did not bring it there, but that in receiving it he ha I been made the dupe of another person, whose name lie refused to give up. Witness also took a variety of invoices from the prisoner's lodgings, which he had since, by desire of the prosecutrix, referred to be inspected by the prisoner's solicitor. Miss Sophia Saunders, in the employ of Miss Charlton, a milliner and dress-maker—Knew the prisoner, and had seen him bring articles to Miss Charlton for sale. She bad at times received from him silks and satins, some of which she had delivered to the officer, and which were in Court. Witness bad known the prisoner several years. She produced a bill of parcels written by the prisoner for goods sold to Miss Charlton. Mr. James Alders, a pawnbroker, produced silk pawn ed on the 7th of May for 101. 10s. by a foreigner. Oa the 28th of May some more was pawned for 51. 6s. by the same person. No less than eleven persons were called, who gave the prisoner a good character. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The whole of the property was ordered to be delivered to the prosecutrix. The prisoner was also charged on two other indictments, with stealing a large quantity of similar property fronl two other persons, but they were not proceeded in, the Counsel declining to offer evidence. The property was ordered to be delivered up to the re spective owners. - John Roberts, described as a clerk in orders, pleaded not guilty at the commencement of the day's proceedings, to an indictment charging him with uttering a forged bill of exchage for 1671. 55., with intent to defraud the house of Baring and Co., but upon being again placed at the bar, he withdrew his plea, and pleaded Guilty. Mr. BODKIN for the prosecution, applied to have 1001. note and 20/. worth of goods which had no doubt b en part of the cash obtained for the forged bill, de livered up. _ _ Mr. duftwoon for the prisoner, resisted the application. Their LORDSHIPS said, the prisoner could of course have no claim to any part of the property, but they said they could not grant Mr. Badkin's application, and ad vised him to make his application to the Sheriff. The prisoner was then removed from the bar. NEW COURT. Mary Lyons, an elderly female, was indicted for steal ing on the 20th of July, at Stepney, several articles of household furniture, some tea, chocolate, and four sove reigns, the property of William Wells, a seafaring man. From the statement of the prosecutor, it appeared, that the prisoner and himself lived together as man and wife, he always, when in this country, living at the house of tilt' prisoner in Charles -street, Bethnal-green ; during this period many articles of household furniture were purchased by eseh of them. In consequence of a quarrel, witness left the pri soner in possession of every thing, and went to reside with his friends. The prisoner removed to other lodgings► taking the furniture with her. This, together with break' ing open a chest and taking four sovereigns, constitute d the whole charge against the prisoner. The prosecuto r was proceeding in a lengthened and unintelligible manner to detail the causes which led to the bickerings between himself and his elderly frail fair one, when The July interposed, and trusted that the Court would not allow its valuable time to be occupied by so trumpery a case. The COMNION SERJEANT said, it was clear the furni ture was the joint property of both. The prisoner was immediately discharged, and the honest tar's laudable endeavours to get rid of the prisoner and grasp her property defeated. Some time afterwards Mary Lyons came into Cou rt, and applied for an order, compelling the policeman to return her property. The Coatmox SERJEANT said, he could make no such order. Mr. Wontner stated, that he had no doubt she would have the property back, Wells having allowed her the eY penses which he had received Irons the county for the 101 of time. A JUROR—You had better get married to the proeee"' tor, Lyons, and that will end all your diff erences . Lyons gave the Ju r y a significant look, smiled, au withdrew.
