THE LONDON JOURNALS. :10LTRAVTO FROM THR D %ILY MORNING PAPERS, September 13, 1822. [MORNING POST.] CORROB'O'RATION OF THE VICTORY OF TILE GREERS.-JUSt as our Paper was going to press, the Paris Papers to the 11th instant reached our office by Expiess. We do not wonder that the Austrian Observer should have acknowledged that there was no truth in the accounts which it had published of the defeat of the Greeks by Chourschid Paeha, for we find the Quutidienne, which is equally hostile to the Greek cause, now announcing that Chourschid had not only been beaten, as the original reports stated, but had experienced a second defeat, in which he was even belived to have been taken prisoner. This gratifyinv ° intelligence, which would not have appeared in such a Journal, if it had entertained the least doubt' of its correctness,- is given under the head of Semlin, August 21th. It appears that the circumstance which enabled the Austrian Observer to throw some temporary dbubts on the correctness of the original intelli fence, was the confusion of dates which arose from some of the accounts using the Old Style (still prevalent in Greece as in Russia), whilst others employed the new. Thus the first relation stated the Greeks to have gained a great victory on the Bth July (New Style), whilst the various corroborating statements coming from Greece it self, and therefore using the Old Style, mentioned the 20th July as the day on which the battle had been fought, and both were correct : the differ ence between the two styles being exactly twelve days, gives our Bth of July as the period which was meant to be specified by all the accounts whose dates seemed otherwise at variance. We trust that the official details of these important actions will at last make their way through all the difficulties opposed by Christian States to the passage of intelligence from Greece when it an -ounces her triumphs, and will reach us in such a shape as to make it impossible for those who regret, to deny the successes of the Greeks, and the regular progress of their cause towards glo rious emancipation and national existence. [MORNING HERALD.] The arrival-of news from Madrid has been for some time exceedingly slow. This has been Chiefly occasioned by the frequent attacks made on the couriers by bands of insurgents, who seize the newspapers and private letters, burn or otherwise destroy them, in order to prevent the possibility of any communication, which would make known the real state to which they are reduced. To this cause also may be ascribed the conflicting accounts, which, by means of fabricated letters, have so variously represent ed the attitude of affairs in the Peninsula. The new Ministers are daily gaining strength, by the accession to office of some more of those Members, who took an active share in tht popular measures connected with the Revo lution of IBW, under Riego and his companions. It appears that the King's reluctance to assemble an Extraordinary Cortes has been at length over come. In order to prevail on his Majesty to sign the decree of convocation, the Ministers had to resort to menaces, and to declare that they would resign, and publish the motives by which they were actuated. The formal Address which they presented to his Majesty, and to which the latter yielded,is a strong and spirited remonstrance. It will be found in another column. The Extraor dinary Cortes, it is said, will meet on the 25th of this month. It is affirmed that all symptoms of contagion had disappeared, so far back as the 14th of last month. But it is still doubtful whether the troops composing the Sanitary Cor don will be removed. Although the intercourse with France may not be interrupted any longer by the performance of quarantine, or entering into the lazar-house, yet it is probable the line of military will still remain on the frontier, for the pretence or purpose of securing respect to the French-territory. [BRITISH PitESS.] The accounts which occasionally arrive - from the South of France give us to understand that military preparations,-on a very extensive scale,. have been ordered by the Government, and that every military station in the South shews an extraordinary degree of bustle and activity.— The cordon sanitaire, notwithstanding the re peated remonstranc , , , s - of the Spanish Govern ment, has never been withdrawn from its position on the frontiers, and to - this force are now added several new corps, so-that in point of numbers it bas become a formidable army. The supplies of cannon and ammunition are said to be upon a scale that marks the expectation of an immediate necessity for using them, and stations are already occupied upon the frontiers as if it were intended to skew an apprehension of invasion ! The tern per of the French Government towards that of Spain, ever since the late revolution, has been -far from conciliatory, and from the protection granted to the Spanish royalist refugees in France, and the encouragement now openly extended to the Bayonne Committee for promoting the work of rebellion in Spain, we cannot doubt the hostile feeling of the Cabinet of the Tuileries. —The vicinity of the Cordon Sanitaire was felt by the Spanish Government to have exercised a most pernicious influence upon the state of the frontier provinces; and t',is new manifestation of energy on the part of the French Govern ment, and the increase of the French army, cannot fail to offer a great encouragement to the soi-disant "A rmy of the Faith." The French papers insinuate that if,in the event of a defeat of the Spanish Royalists; the beaten party should take refuge within the territories of France, it is not improbable that the conquerors would pursue them. This would be a violation of the French territorry which ought to be prevented, and it is presumed that this feeling on the part of the Government will account sufficiently for so con siderable an increase of their military force on the frontiers. There is just enough of pretence in this observation to serve as an excuse for the underhand hostility of the Government ; but can any one doubt that these preparations are Blade with a view to encourage the rebels in Spain, or perhaps to be prepared with an overwhelming army to take such advantage of occasional occur rences as would enable the Bourbons of France to restore without much risk the former authority of the Bourbons of Spain ? [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We cannot help remarking how felicitously it happened that Mr. Canning had just concluded the valedictory visits to his country cousins, and reached within so convenient a distance of the metropolis as Birmingham, when he met the " invitation " from his former Colleagues. It also luckily occurred, that although for some weeks before Lord Londonderry's death and the Liverpool dinner, his movements were performed in modest obscurity, they have since been so carefully traced and advertised, that a King's Messenger might any day run him down with certainty in a few hours. But now that the invitation is given, will it be accepted ? It is rumoured that the Lord Chancellor, a Noble ally of his, only assented to Mr. Canning's introduction into the Cabinet on condition of his subscribing to a political creed drawn up by them for the occasion. The precise stipulations are as yet unknown, but as it is confidently re ported that one article relates to Catholic Eman cipation—a subject upon which the Lord Chan cellor and Mr. Canning have hitherto been at loggerheads, and respecting which Lord Liver pool perfectly agrees with the former. The " in vitation" may, therefore, be considered merely as a preliminary treaty of peace and alliance, and as Mr. Canning must be anxious to show his diplomatic proficiency, perhaps the negociation shall continue for some time before the conscien tious scruples of those great men can be adjusted. It is clear, however, to all the readers of the last Liverpool speech, that the Catholic Cause will never be a bar to Mr. Canning's ambition, for he then good-naturedly volunteered to throw it overboard, in order to quied the country. [NEW TIMES.] The trial of Berton and his associate traitors in France draws rapidly to a close. The Morn ing Chronicle admits that they must be found guilty, but very gravely adds, that they ought not to be punished! What have they done, poor fellows ! They have only appeared in arms against their Sovereign ! only begun a civil war, which might have drenched their native soil with blood, and spread rebellion, with all its consequent horrors, through Out Eu rope ! We shall leave it to the common sense of mankind whether the sentiments of The Morning Chronicle are prompted by genuine humanity, or by the spirit of faction. But there is another point of view in which the late French trials, the events in Spain, and the quarrels of our own Radicals, all assume a common importance, and lead to a common conclusion. They teach us what are the real characters of the self styled Reformers of mankind in all countries.— For this week or more The Chronicle has been loaded with the attacks of a Spanish Liberal on the characters of Arguelles, Morino, and other chiefs of the moderate revolutionists, who are styled 66 the basest of mankind." Among our selves Cobbet and Hunt, the Pylades and Orestes of radicalism, have been calling each other liars and hypocrites. And in the French trials we have been presented with the most sicken ing disregard of truth on the part of the " Chevaliers of Liberty" who have figured either as criminals or witnesses. We have seen them swearing point blank against each other, de nying the most indubitable facts,, and denying with unblushing impudence on one day, what they had positively asserted on the day preced ing. If we were to go farther back in revo lutionary history, we should find the case ex actly the same. Look to Mirabeau, Orleans, Damon, Fouche, Talleyraud, Buonaparte, you find an absolute destitution of all moral and hon ourable principle has been the charactertic of all the leading Reformers, according to their judg ment of each other, and to the test of events. These multiplied revelations are of high import ance, inasmuch as they throw on the great cause of modern Reform, a light, by which he who runs may read. It is an evil tree ; for it brings forth none but evil fruits. It is not the cause of true Liberty—a cause holy and blessed throughout all ages—but the cause of base and selfish pas sions, of dishonesty, false pretence, rapacity, and ambition. Is is not evident that the de licate and awfully hazardous task of pulling to pieces Governments, destroying Laws, and overturning the fabric of Society, if it be entrusted to any human hands, should be con fided only to men of unblemished integrity, of high honour, of calm and dignified wisdom, without fear and without reproach ? " What is liberty without wisdom and without virtue?" said the wise and virtuous Burke. "It is the greatest of all possible evils ; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint. Those who know what virtuous liberty is, cannot bear to see it disgraced by incapable heads, on account of their having high-sounding words in 1 their mouths." [THE TIMES.] It is not always that his Majesty's Ministers are justly charged with profusion. We have ourselves been, ere now, so far betrayed by ap pearances, as lightly to admit the general im pression aginst them; and we now acknowledge that the facility of such our belief to their pre judice, ought to be followed by a similar promp titude of recantation when sufficient reason presents itself for inducing us to fancy our selves deceived. The public have some cause to remember that in the course of last year the Ca binet gained, or suffered, an accession of a party well known under the name of Grenvilles. The Leviathan of the race, the head of the Grenvilles, was on that occasion turned from a Marquis into a Duke, being the only Member of the existing Peerage (the Duke of Wellington excepted) so renowned for his public services, or so eminent and exemplary for his private virtues, as to merit that highest honour known to' English nobility, viz. the ducal coronet. The Grenvilles of the female line being Welch ones, cannot of course be ennobled ; they can only be enriched. We pass by the President of the India Board, whose 5,0001. per annum every one knows to be as hardly earned as any weaver's seven shillings per week. But the Grenville whom we wish once more to notice, and to whom we ow make the amende honorable for all our abuse of his rapacity in accepting, and of the wicked prodigality of Ministers in offering him, 40001. a year, that he might fish and shoot among the Swiss mountains, is he, whom in the Red Book they call a Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court of St. James's to the Cantons. When pressed to give something in the nature of an excuse or palliation, or even pretext, for this prima facie job, Lord Londonderry informed the Parliament that the salaries of our diplomatic agents had been increased that they might be the better enabled to exercise a liberal hospitality towards their countrymen abroad, and to keep up among foreign nations the dignity and honour of Great Britain. To this it was answered at the time, that there was no semblance of truth, but great effrontery, in the argument of Ministers ; for that, in fact, so far from English gentMnen with their families finding an agreeable or encouraging recep tion from the representatives of their own Sovereign at foreign Courts, the English Ambassadors, though the best paid, were the least courteous and hospitable among all the public functionaries of Europe. It was even affirmed, that this re pulsive carelessness of the civilities which every one must acknowledge to be due to British tra vellers, had become worse within our memory— that hospitality on the part of our Ambassadors had declined, as the means of showing it bad been augmented by the nation—and that with regard to Switzerland, a salary of one thousand pounds would leave the Envoy, at the year's end, money in his pocket. This is not true. Mr. Wynn is hospitable—or about to be so. We read in the newspapers, that he is probably at this moment in the act of receiving English company. Sir Watkin Williams Wynn and Lady Harriet Williams Wynn are about arriving at Bern, "on a visit to his Excel lency, Mr. Henry Wynn." There is hos pitality for you !—there is an express con firmation of what Lord Londonderry alleged, in favour of the increased allowance of 40001. per annum !—there is " value received " for even a larger outlay of the public money ! This much-reprobated and deeply-injured Minister does actually find houseroom for eight names, and two great personages, fresh from England.— True, they, like himself, are Wynns—like him self ate Grenvilles—his own brother and sister, to boot ; but still they are English people, and they receive from him the no longer disputed rites of "hospitality." Now it may be no difficult matter to prove, that by such an application of tl►e public purse, the Ministers have made not merely a fair, but an economical bargain for the people of England. Sir W. W. Wynn has not yet been cotnplimented with a pension, ❑or natnefl, as we have beard, to any Cabinet office. Yet why he alone should be left out, when all his relatives were so dilligently taken care of, we are unable to guess. That his exclusion can be from inferiority of merit to theirs, no man will think reasonable or likely. His rents, too, have fallen, at least 10,000/. per annum, which renders him an object of sympathy. We are therefore half inclined to suspect that the 4,000/. a-year salary to the younger brother, was destined by a secret article in the compact, to cover a six months' eetablishment for the elder ; and thus, that by bargain at once delicate and frugal, the Ministers have gained for us at the cost of a si►igle salary, the services of two equally efficient Grenvilles. With a scheme so provident as this ; who but the splenetic would quarrel ? IRELAND. LIMERICK ASSIZES. Patrick Hennessy, Edmond llennessy, John Dorgan, Tho mas Halpin, Thomas J'lennane, and Patrick Cullahane, were put to the bar for the murder of Patrick Buckley, a Crown . witness, at Ardagh, on Sunday, the 23d of September, 1 - 321, Patrick Cullahane, postponed his trial by an affidavit. The trial lasted the Whole day. After the Jury had returned . their verdict of Guilty, Baron PENNEFATIIER addressed the unfortunate prisoners at very great length on the fatal crime of murder, committed under the aggravated and atrocious leatures of this case, in his usual emphatic strain. They were sentenced to be hanged on Monday next. Thomas Mennane was recom mended to mercy. While sentence of death was pronouncing; and after it had been closed, one of the most hardened scenes of outrage and contempt, perhaps, that ever occurred in a similar case took place in the dock. Patrick Hennessy was about asking for a long day, when his brother, Edward, struck him a brow in the neck, as it were, for presuming to seek a favour. When the last expression of the sentence was ended by the Judge, Hen- ' nesy tamed about and said, " la the Devil we pitch you all," and then struck and knocked down his brother in the lowcv dock, jumped down himself in a violent manner, and kicked at the door in a maniac strain. Two others, Halpin and Dor gan, imitated him in like conduct, each kicking the door and exulting as he passed ; but Mennane remained quite, gazing about. They were immediately removed by the military. Their conduct was particularly disgusting, and was marked by a crowded Court with a murmur of horror. On Monday the sentence was executed on Halpin, the two Ilennessys, and Dorgan. SIXTiEN MEN RESPITED.—The following sixteen men, who were sentenced to death at our last Assizes, have been respited James Fitzmaurice, who was to be hanged on the lAth inst. for a burglary in the house of Mi,chael .

LITERARY NOVELTY. — There has just now issued from the Glasgow press a Prospectus and Specimen of a History of Hannibal the Great, the enemy of Rome, with sonic particulars of the Phoenician and Carthagenian History—in which there appear some links of connection of Ancient and Modern History by analogy. We understand a Parisian prin ter has been calling on the author, Mr. MoLLESON, of Glas gow, to urge him forward with the work, leaving an °icier forit, it, for the purpose of translating it into , the French hnguage.— ( Glasgow Courier, Sept. 10:) POLICE INTELLIGtNCE. MANSION-HOUSE.--Yesterday a question of considerable importance to the City Carmen, in the vicinity of the London Docks and East India warehouses, came on before the LORD MAYOR. It .was a question as to whether the East India Company and the merchants having business at the East India Company's warehous - es, at the tobacco warehouses, and all those public warehouses near the Minories, Crutched-friars, Saiage-gardens; Cooper's-row, &c., should or should not be compelled to hire the carts as they stood in their turn. The question was considered to inrolve the fate of numbers of small carmen who, if it was declared that merchants might employ whom they please, would scarcely ever get employment, as property would be naturally intrusted to the care of the more opulent and responsible owners of carts. A carman was brought before the LORD lIIAYott by one of the servants of the East India Cdmpany, on a charge of having obstructed the Company's servants in their business, and created a disturbance to the annoyance of the public. The complainant stated, that the prisoner, with other car men who said they were the first on the rank, and that there fore they ought to be employed first, insisted that a carman who had been engaged to take away some goods from the Com pany's warehouse, as they said in violation of the rights, should not be employed, and they were ready to prevent him by force from doing the work. A riot ensued, which, as it was amongst carmen, could not be done justice to by descrip tion. The business of the Company was during the whole of this time entirely suspended, and it was so often obstructed by disputes amongst the carmen, not as to the right of the first on the stand to take the job, but asi-to who was the first on the stand, that the Company had determined to break through the rule of hiring the cart in rotation, and to hire whom they pleased, as they conceived that the carmen could make no claim whatever of such right under the act, but that it was a mere private regulation, formed originally with the view of maintaining peace, but which, as it was found to have a con trary tendency, it was absolutely necessary should be put an end to. The carman admitted that he had done every thing in his power, as stated by the complainant, to prevent the cart hired by the Company from being employed, in violation of their un doubted rights, out of its turn. He complained that one of the Company's officers had arrogated to himself the right of de stroying the privileges of the carmen at once, by hiring whom soever he pleased. It was, the defendant said, for the ex press purpose of resisting this infraction of the carmen's pri vileges, that his master sent him to aid in preventing carts from working that were not regularly taken from the stand, and the defendant, who is a powerful man, admirably calculated for such a business, admitted that he had fought zealously in the cause. The LORD MAYOR requested the carman, who were present in support of their brother at the bar, and in defence of their own interests, to point out the law which authorized them in their claim to be hired in rotation. The carmen, or rather cart-owners, pointed out an order I made by the fellowship carmen in 1771, as the one under which they now acted, and which, they said, had been strictly carried into force from that time, and never before been questioned. In this order it was declared by the Fellowship company, that in the district comprehending the East India and other public warehouses the carts should be hired in rotation as they stood upon the stand. The LORD MAYOR admitted, that for the sake of peace no one had thought it worth while not to conform to that order ; but his Lordship asked, who gave the Fellowship Company a right to make laws that were to force merchants to intrust their property to others than whom they pleased ? The fact was, that it was mere waste paper, that was binding on no oue.— The act for their regulation, the 30th of George 111., intrusted to the sessions only the power of making by-laws, and the by law which had been made upon the subject only authorized the carmen, to claim to be hired in turn at the Custom-house, and the adjacent wharfs. Had the carmen continued to adhere peaceably to their own regulation, probably their employers would have continues to acquiesce in it ; but from the miscon duct displayed by the carmen, and their repeated obstruction to business in their disputes, as to who was the first, it became ne cessary to declare, that excepting at the wharfs mentioned, no merchant was bound to take the carts in turn according to the right assumed by the carmen ; but that he might intrust his property to whomsoever he chose • and this, his Lordship said, he should take an opportunity of again declaring in a more formal manner. As the defendant had acted under a mistaken notion that he was defending a legal right, his Lordship dis charged him with an admonition, but bade him caution his brethern against any repetition of the offence in support of the regulation which was now at an end. His Lordship's decision excited a strong sensation amongst the carmen, who exclaimed that their privileges were cut down at once by it. One of them said he had recently given 1251. for his admission into the Fellowship, that now was not worth a shilling. GUILDHIILL.—ROBBERY BY SERVANTS.--Every week's occurrence at this Justice Room afibrds fresh instances of the alarming increase of robberies by servants upon the property of their employers. Since we had last occasion to notice the fre quency of these charges, two other individuals, the one a porter to a tradesman in the Old Bailey, and the other a lad in the employ of a stationer in Cheapside, have undergone examina tion for offences of this nature, and been discharged, from the unwillingness of their employers to. press a prosecution ; and yesterday two other persons, viz. Abraham Skynner and Joseph Peachy, were brought up before the Sitting Al derman, Sir RICHARD Cann GLYN, upon a charge of the same description. The prosecutor, Mr. John Lawton, gas apparatus and furni ture manufacturer, No. 35, King-street, Snow-hill, stated that the prisoners were his servants, the former having been in his employ about three years, and the latter two ; that he had the highest opinion of the integrity of both of them, and though property to a considerable amount was missing at different times, no suspicion whatever had fallen upon either of them. Latterly, however, Skynner appeared to have more money than usual, and frequently indulged himself to intoxication. This had caused him to make some inquiry, and he soon learned that he was in the habit of doing jobs in their line on his own account, and that he had lately, together with the other prisoner, been engaged in fitting up a gas light at the Bull public-house, in King-street. Thither he (Mr. L.) accordingly went, and, upon examination, found the brass branch pipes, and other materials, to be his property. Skynner's basket of tools was also found in the house, and in it certain other articles, the property of his master. Search had also been made at Skynner's lodgings, in the Borough, and there also sundry tools and materials for fit ting up gas lights, Mr. Lawton's property, were discovered. Mr. Spencer, the landlord, deposed to having employed the prisoner Skinner to fit up an additional gas light, which he said lie could do at after hours in his own time. The prisoner Peachey had assisted Skynner in doing the job, but he Mr. Spencer) had no engagement with the former, the amount of the expenca being to be set off against a debt due to him from' Skynner. There being reason' to suspect that this was not the only case in which the prisoners had been using their master's materials for their own profit, and that they were not the only persons in his employ who were carrying on trade upon their own account at their master's expellee, the prisoners were remanded, to give time for the necessary inquiries. BOW-STREET.—ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Yesterday Thomas Jones, a -middle-aged man, was brought before Sir R. BIRNIE, charged with robbing his master, Mr. Dunn, a tailor and woollen-draper, in Bedford-street, Covent Garden, of 14 skeins of silk and other articles. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Dunn and his foreman, that the prisoner had been in the employment of the former for several years, and had always maintained an excellent character. Latterly ar ticles of almost every kind in which Mr. Dunn dealt had been missed, and although a vigilant eye was kept upon the actions of all the servants in the establishment, no clue could be obtained to tix the crime upon any one of them until yes terday morning, when it was brought home to the prisoner be yond the possibility of a doubt. The prisoner was fully com mitted. MARLBOROUGII-STREET.—Yesterday the thirteen Irish men were brought up, and underwent another examination on the charge of the disgraceful riot in Oxford-buildings on Sun day night last. No further evidence was adduced, with the exception of Daniel Morgan, the boy who was so unmercifully beaten, and he could not positively identify any of the pri soners.—The Magistrate severely admonished and discharged them upon their own recognizances to keep the peace. Four were held to bail for the assault upon the officers. WORSHIP-STREET.—DEPRAVED HABITS IN LOW LIFE. —A man named Lupon., residing in Hare-street, Bethnal green, by trade a dollmaker, was yesterday brought up on a warrant before WILLIAM BENET T, Esq., the presiding Ma gistrate, for indecently assaulting and ill-treating Caroline Morris, a young girl, 14 years of age. It appeared that Caro line Morris was hired to the defendant, and for him she cried water-tresses through the streets, for which she received her food and some clothes ; but so poor were the friends of Caro line, and so poor was her master, that as the latter had but one bed in the house, the friends of the former consented, to her sleeping in the same with her master and his wife. It was in this situation the ill-treatment arose. The mother of this nirl, with two half starved children in her arms, said she let her daughter go to her master, knowing there was but one bed, but the master had promised there should soon be another. The defendant had only his poverty to plead in excuse for having the girl in the same bed, and said he would /not have her for a servant in future. Mr. BENE TT expressed his surprise at this scene of depra vity. It was almost incredible that a man would thus disre gard all ideas o f decency ; and more on this account thin that of the assault stated by the girl, he should hold the u g " fendant to bail. In the mean time, the girl was given to thf care of her mother, who had a summons to the parish for relic' The defendant was committed for want of sureties. Ugrox-HALL.—In some of the papeis of yesterday t he / appeared an account of the conduct of a set of very " desper a ,., te fellows, who were said to have forced into the house o a 'I'!" Passey, in High-street, Newington, and demanded rrioa s ” with the threats generally . used by housebreakers. The count, however, closed with stating, that neither blood been shed, nor money taken, although the band of desperad w. had the command of the house, and were armed ; and we w e : happy to see that the watchmen have so high a character r Newington as to set to flight a gang of villains to the numb of 20 or 30 without ever making their appearance. One of these terrible fellows was fortunately taken into CO' tody, and the following elucidation of the circumstances was given : he , William Sharpe, apprentice to Mr. Passey, who is a prin said, that about half past ten o'clock on Monday nigilL --b, heard a knock at the hall door, and upon asking who was t...„"`5,' was answered, from without, that his master was wanted. ness opened the door, and several men rushed into the 10 4 `, some of them carrying cleavers. He at once called down P i d master to turn' the fellows out. Witness did not complain • • having received any violent treatment. He identified the Pe,l-, soner, who is a butcher in St. George's-market, in Southw ell " and whose name is William Locks, as the first person wh° tered the hall with a cleaver on his shoulder. Mr. Passey said, that upon hearing the noise became d °Wn is : stairs, and some voice called out " Mr. Passey, We have cellirt to drink your health." Witness, who knew that his Yie iW y were butchers, and judged that they came with their roarr,l, bones and cleavers, under the impression that a wedding O'" i taken place in the house, assured them that there had heel l wedding, and desired them to leave the house or theyshould to the watch-house. The prisoner was very conspicuous , a cleaver on his shoulder, and refused to leave the house wi out money or drink. He added, that there were 24 of the elfin. pany outside, and that if the witness let loose his dog at the: l b l ; as he threatened to do, the dog should certainly die. Al l h i butchers, with the exception of the prisoner, retired, I he persisted' in demanding drink or money for some time. dog was let loose; but nothing more ensued. The prlse_ m soon after left the house without money or drink. The wit ' l 7. stated that Mrs. Passey was excessively terrified at the dist.oo. bance made by those savage fellows, and went into hYst eri He added, with tears in his eyes, that her alarm had that ing caused a miscarriage ; and that about 12 months ag° ho same consequences had resulted from similar conduct believed, the part of the very same fellows. The prisoner was apprehended, at the desire r)f Mr. r 1,:; in St. George's Market. He denied that he bad been party to Mr. Passey's house. The fellow was remanded by the Magistrate (R. HE I3 ° L I.. Esq.) until Mrs. Passey's medical attendant dull bele, t nounced upon the state of her health. The Magistrate sai u t he the practice described was most unjustifiable, and that if prisoner had received money, his situation would have bees extremely serious. Henry Marshalt; alias Moore, was again put to the bar bo charged with having stolen the pistol out of the Cl' ' P watchhouse. • The case receives additional interest at every examinati on ' The constables who identified the pistol made some intlu i respecting the character of Marshall, which were answere' such a manner as to•add to the impressions against Win- u s. The constable said, that he had called at the house of a pr. dress, in Peter-street, Westminster, with a letter from the_LA toner, requesting the loan of some money, which the viu'isl was too poor to lend. She told the witness . that Market, he been but five weeks discharged flom the Penitentiary z viz t,"' o o. had been imprisoned five year's. She said that she knew a; thing of the young man's parents or friends, or indeed 0 ' 50 self, but what she said about the confinement. Witnes s slid detailed the particulars of the robbery of the pistol in waThhtc hous eriso e pner was again questioned in vain as to rstialsa and address. , He varied from his former account, by „ sti that his father lived near Norwich. He said that he lived no particular house, hilt slept in different public-housetw: that he was inliquor when he hired the coach to drive to ham-common. 010 The prisoner said it must be evident that he had no in te of stealing the pistol, or the report of it would scarcely '- been heard in th a e officeC lapham trust, Mr. Franks, Gentleman connected with the Clapha took the trouble to make many inquiries relative to th i e o ce• soner ; but he found - that every thing the young man ha d oil tinned to him . was false.
