The TURTLE will also be found infinitely cheaper than that sold by . the great Dealers, not merely from the obvious dif ference in price, but from its consisting of nothing but pure Turtle, and no such refuse as White Meat, Tripe, or Liver. To Families residing in the Country, and to Hotel and Tavern Keepers, this TURTLE cannot but be a great con venience, as affording, at almost instant notice, the necessary supply of exquisite Soup, without the waste and loss attendant on dressing a whole Thrtle. Certificates of its excellence from Personages of the highest distinction and best taste may be seen ; but a single trial is requested in preference, as more certain of insuring appro bation. To be had Dressed or Undressed, at the rate. of 10s. per Quart Dressed, or 12s. 6d. per Quart Undressed ; which last makes nearly three times its own quantity of the former. The Dressed requires only to be warmed up, and with the Un dressed a Receipt will be given, by which any Cook may make it into excellent Soup.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Tha Secretary believed the Act was violated by the external exhibition of any thing likely to draw together a croWd. Mr. Andrews, the Barrister, stated, that he was concerned in a case where a party was convicted of having violated the Act by putting a narrow ledge before his window to hold a few hooks: It was held that the obStrtiction was occasioned by the. attraction created by the books, and not by the projection of the ledge. It was here stated, that in the case alluded to the prosecutors had three inches projection to swear upon, but in the present case the projection was comparatively nothing. , The Secretary suggested to his Lordship that the placards should be removed as often as they were hung out. • Here another objection presented itself. The Lord Mayor said he had heard that the ward officer had been complained against for haiing exceeded his duty in big conduct at Carlile's shop.. No negligence could be attributed to the ward. The Commissioners of .Pthements were, be be lieved, the persons to whom application should in the first in stance be made. Ile felt as much as. airy one could the disgu,t ing nature of the publicitions which had been spoken of, and would g . o to the utmost extent allowed by. the law to repress that which appeared to him to be an outrage, against all law, but at the same time he would not go beyond the s law. The party must have notice to abate the nuisance. If that notice was disobeyed, the Subject might be brought into the Justice room, upon the oath of a credible witness to the effect that the placards overhung the erea. The Secretary said there Was a difficulty in proving_ the con nexion between.the man in the shop and Cathie, and in serving any process upon the right person. Mr. Andrews said that he would serve the right person, if he served the Man who hung UP the placard. But why not indict the parties for a nuisance, at common law The. Secretary replied, that the greatest difficulties were thrown in the way of such a proceeding, by the precautions taken by the offending party. After his Lordship had repeated his opinion of the nuisance, and the course that ought to be taken to abate it, the Secre tary left the Justice room, With the intention of communicat ing his Lordship's answer to the Society, who had ordered hint to apply. at the Mansion House for advice.

SAMUEL. FENNING, Jon. Secretary. ROBBIRY OE THE EXETER SUBSCRIPTION COACH. MAaistbs-HousE.—ln the publication of the euit account of this robbery, it was stated that the parties in London who were interested in the safe conveyance of the notes from Exe ter to London, had not taken the most advisable measures for the disco Very of the offenders, and the restoration of the pro perty. We have since learned that Messrs. Hankey and Co., to whom the parcel, containing the 1,0571. was directed &Om the . Exeter Bank, the moment they received notice of the rob bery, proceeded in the investigation with the assistance ()full those persons whom it has been considered necessary on such occasions to employ. Robert Baker, the guard, was. brought up yesterday fora final examination. Mr. ALLEY attended as his Counsel, and asked whether there was any more evidence than had been broUght forward on the former occasion against his client ? Mr. AND rtEws said the only additional evidence he had 'to produce was that of Mr. llankey's clerk, who could prove that It was the constant practice of the house to receive parcels from Exeter through the prisoner, and their constant condition with him that he should always bring the parcels sewed up in his coat pocket. Mr. Cocks, clerk to Messrs. Hankey, was examined to that effect. He stated (hut he could not speak positively to Baker in any particulii way) that the house was in the habit of getting up many parcels from the Exeter Bank through the guards of the coach, and that some one or other of the Gentlemen of the house was in the habit of ripping them out of the pocket. He however could not by any means say that it formed a condition of the conveyance that the guards should never remove the par cels from the pocket. The Loan MAYOR—You have already said on a former ex amination, that your house often received parcels as heavy as that which was stolen from the coach guard, and that no com plaint was made of the weight. Have you received any of heavier weight ? Mr. Cocks replied that they had. There were but 40 guineas in the parcel alluded to, and the house at Exeter sometimes sent 50, 60, and he believed 70, the weight of which had never been complained of. Mr. ALLEY' here stated that it was a very strong fact that the prisoner ran off to Hankey's bank to mention the loss on the night of the robbery, and that the next day some of the notes were passed. It was evident that this, attempt to prevent the bad consequences of the robbery was incompatible with a par ticipation in it.. Mr. ANDREWS observed that the prisoner might very easily, and without prejudice to the passing of the notes, give the no tice described ; but that notice had not been given till past ten at night, notwithstanding the robbery had been committed at seven. The fact was, Messrs. Hankey could not possibly have ascertained the numbers of the notes by the next day, and all of to stop them. must have proved useless. Mr. ALLEY questioned Mr. Cocks, as to the probability that the prisoner was aware pf the fact that the house *as not in possession of the numbers of the notes. The answer was, that the prisonet could not hate known any thing about the. fact. Further Particulars may he had, on application to Messrs.

MAPEL, in the PARISH of LINTY of LEICESTER. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. BoW-STBEET.—Yesterday, a youth about 19 years of age, calling himself John Saunders was brought up in the custody of Dorrington, one of the patron, on a charge of having stolen a horse, the property of Mr: Stephen Marchant, a gentleman residing at Turnham Green. Mr. Marchant stated, that he was returning home to Turn ham Green, from town, about half-past eight &clock, on Thuri day night, mounted on a very spirited horse, and when he had got nearly to Kensington, the animal fell lame, in consequence, as he found upon examination, of a stone having got into his hoof. He dismounted, and was hesitating as to what he should do to relieVe the poor animal, when the prisoner, with an um brella in °lie hand and a band=box in the other,np proached as from. Kensington, and very politely offered his assistance, which was es politely accepted. The prisoner, indeed, carried his politeness so far, as to break the stick of his umbrella in endeavouring to poke out the stone, and failing in this, suggested that a large stone by way of hammer would accomplish the object. The witness left the horse in his care, while he searched about the road for this substitute for a hammer, and had got a few yards. off, when he was thunderstruck at hearing the horse gallop off at full speed ; and looking round, he perceived by the light of the moon, his kind friend, band-box, umbrella and.all, mounted on his back. lie pursued instantly, but the imitnal flew with the swiftness of an arrow, and was soon out of sight and hear ing. %loess, however, alarmed the neighbourhood, and gave informsitle. a) the horse-patrol, several of whom went in pure suit of him, and traced him to beyond Hammersmith, where it seems he took to the fields, clearing gate, hedge and ditch, and going over newly-ploughed fields, and places where the horse.; patrol would not venture to follow him, at least in his di rect course. They however scoured the main roads for nearly twenty miles round, and heard of the gallant equestrian (for his equipments and the speed of his horse were too remarkable to escape notice in all directions) but failed in overtaking him, and at length lost all trace, anti gaVe up the pursuit in despair. Yesterday morning witness came to town for the purpose of giving information of what he then con ceived to be a vile robbery, when on his way through Piccadilly, he met the prisoner on the same horse, trotting very quietly on towards Ilyde Park-corner. He of course gave Iriin in chargo to an officer, in order to have the matter inquired into. The prisoner stood trembling at the bar, while Mr: Mar chant was making his charge, and When called upon to answer to it, he said he could give but a confused account of the matter, for in truth he had had but a. slender recollection of any thing that happened. This much however, he could re late, that he resided at Clapham with hii mother, Who carried on the millinery liminess, and on. Thursday afternoon he was dispatched to Kensington for a bonnet and feathers" which were to be cleaned. It being Christmas time, he indulged hinrself with sundry glasses of ale, and other exhilarating potations by the way, and at the time he met Mr. Mar chant, he lima " very much elevated." Aiding on horseback being somewhat of n rarity to him, he mounted, intending only to indulge himself by going a felt paces and back again, but he believed that the rattling of ii?S bandbox. frightened the animal, for he had no' sooner fairly bestrode him and fixed his feet in the stirrups, than off he Went with the rapidity of light- , ning, in spite of his endeavours to stop him. He could not tell whither he went, or what distance he travelled ; but he knew he had rather a long and he believed a round about ride, and found himself at last in Slone-square, Chelsea, the horse in a profuse perspiration, and panting for bfeathAis umbrella gone, and his band-boi almost entirely demolished by, as he supposed, knock ing against the animal's side. The adventure, he assured the Magistrate, *as quite accidental, and he was willing to make any apology or remuneration. • The result was that the prisoner was discharged with an ad monition. Consols opened this morning at 80i, and ad vanced to 80i, when the report was circulated that the French KING had declined to sign the Ultimatum of the Holy Alliance . They however again declined to- BO} 0, when a rumour became current that M.

[FROM THE " TIMES. '1 We nave receive► 3 froth high authority at Paris, the following account of the situation 'of France, with respect to the question of peace or war with Spain : Mrs. Rt.

Alexander 5 0 0 , Subscriptions are likewise received at Messrs. Grote, Pres eott, and Co.'s, No. 62, Threadneedle-street. The fbllowing letter to the Royal Academy will explain the particulars of this melancholy case. The gentleman re duced by a shocking calamity to this painful necessity, is Mr. John Scott, the eminent animal and landscape engraver. To all persons who have the slightest acquaintance with the works of living artists, the mention of the name is a sufficient intro duction. In the course of an industrious life (and what,life can be more industrious than the Engraver's ?) Mr. Scott has finished several hundred plates, which are all in high estima tion. The Sporting Magazine, Mr. Daniel's Rural Sports, and other works of a similar nature, owe a large Rortion of their reputation to the exquisite delicacy and truth of Mr. Scott's graver. His two large plates—" Breaking Cover,' and. " the Death of the Fox," after Gilpin andßeinagle—are possessed by ever lover of Art who prizes pictures of animals and field sports. Indeed many good judges conceive, that these plates are alone sufficient to place Mr. Scott at the top of his profes sion in that line. We cannot conceive any thing more distress ing, than a man of high talent, who was living respectably by his labours in a profession of which he is ardently fond, sud denly cut off from his, means of subsistence, and thrown into utter despair by an afflection so dreadful as a paralytic stroke. " To the- President and Members of the Royal Academy. " Gentlemen—l am reluctantly compelled by necessity to make the present appeal to your benevolence in behalf of my self, a wife, and a numerous family. " For many years past, by indefatigable exertions, I have been enabled by my humble abilities as an Engraver to support an increasing family, now amounting to nine children, in re spectability and comfort, and still enjoyed the cheering prospect of a continuance in such honourable endeavours as every inde pendent mind delights in. But by one of those awful visi tations of Providence, which it is not for us to question, I was rendered wholly incapable of further professional labours. I suffered a violent paralytic stroke in March, 11121. My medical advisers recommended a visit to my native air, as the only means likely to restore my shattered frame. A stay at Newcastle or som e months affording no change for the better, I returned to London. In my absence, my enemies injured my interests by insidiously lamenting my total loss of intellect, while they se cretly promoted their own selfish and mercenary views. The consequence of such conduct was, that I have been deprived of worlc, amounting. to many hundred pounds, which was trans ferred to the hands of the men who had thus assailed me in the hour of affliction. " In this state of sickness and distress, I was advised by my friends to t a k e a h ouse i n R ege nt-street, for the better sale of my prints, and to let a part furnished ; and although this step has answered my mo s t sangu i ne e xpectations, and would enable me and my family to live rent-free, yet the previous embarrass ments arising from a total loss of income, had brought me to such a state, that nothing can save me from inevitable ruin but the interposinl hand of benevolence. To aggravate the ills with which I ate encompassed, my wife has fallen sick from over exertion to avert them ; and the husband of my only mar ried child is consigned to prison for debt, leaving his wife and two helpless infants an additional burden on me. " I trust, Gentlemen, this recital of my misfortunes will be a sufficient apology for the boldness with which I have ventured to adaress you. I plead urgent distress, and feel confident I shall not plead in vain to those who know the difficulties with which Artists are often beset, and who have on various occa sions stood forward to their assistance. Although I have not the honour of being a member of the Royal Academy, I trust I shall receive the sympathy and commiseration of its members, and influence them to rescue me from irretreivable ruin by a timely donation, which will enable me to complete the works eordided to my execution, and again to support my family by my owe exertions. Trusting you will not deny me that assist- Mee, for which I shall feel for ever grateful,—l remain, Gentlemen, with sentiments of the greatest respect, your obe dient and hiimble servant, t" JOHN SCOTT." This appeal was not without its effect. Seconded by Sir Thomas Lawrence (who has behaved with a feeling and deli cacy which double the value of his generosity), Mr. Some the architect, and other Gentlemen, who have hearts to appreciate sufferings like those above detailed, the Academy voted to Mr. Scott a donation of thirty guineas, to head the subscription list. What adds to the hopes of kr. Scott's friends on this occasion is, that the aid now sought from the sympathy of the Professors and Patrons of Art., and the benevolence of the Pub does not extend to the support of himself and his family fbr an indefinite time,—which might render hopeless all exer liotis it), his behalf. He is so far recovered as to be able to re sume his work partially, and is greatly assisted by his son, a youth-of promising abilities. Should such a stun, therefore, e raised, as would relieve him from the immediate pressures Which threaten to crush him, he possesses the' consoling pros pect of maintaining his family as formerly.

" The King of France is decided for peace : Monsieur and die Duke of Angouleme are now known to entertain the same pacific views. Even the Duke of Montmorency, the supposed champion of the war-patty, professes to have no warlike inten tions. How, then, is it, you will naturally ask, that the quest tion is not at Once set at rest by some decisive declaration ? The fact is, that all the hesitation and delay is to be ascribed to the difficulty of, getting well out of a scrape. Trance feels that she has committed herself, and does not know how to ex: tricate herself from a situation bordering on the ridiculous; she is therefore Waiting for some opportunity of backing out gracefully. A few facts will explain this matter fully : Mont morency, at Verona, expected at first to find the Allies unani mously' ready to make war on Spain. The Duke of Welling. ton used such forcible arguments against such a proceeding, that the French Ambassador abandoned all hope on that point; but he obtained the recognition (already published in the Mo niteur) that France had the right of herself to make war, and that she might do so if she pleased. Montmorency pressed hard for something more ; and after long' discussion it was agreed that Russia, Austria, and Prussia,would,undet certain circumstances, withdraw their Ambassadors from Madrid, provided France did the same. Montmotency pledged his Government to this arrange. ment,and the Congress broke up. M. de Villele, however, refuses to ratify such an agreement; he argues, that if the question is left to Franee,she has a fight to settle the affair in her own way, and ought not to be required to co-operate with other Governments in measures which may defeat, instead of expediting, her ob. jects : that, especially, she ought not to be called upon to take a step which, by cutting off all negotiation with Spain, would probably preclude all possibility of a pacific result. Mont morency, however, felt his personal character involved, and obstinately adhered to the incautious pledge which he hid given. Such was the state of the French Cabinet when the Duke of Wellington arrived at Paris. The ease was stated to him ; and before he gave his opinion, he requested to be informed whether there was any intention of going to war with Spain ? He then learns that the King, 'Monsieur, the Duke of Angouleme, and the majority a the French Cabinet were decided against war; nay, that N. de Mont morency himself meant to be content with the recal of the French Ambassador from Madrid, and had no idea of hos tile interference with the Spanish Government. Fortified with this knowledge, the Duke of Wellington asked. why the French Government, seeing that her intentions were pa cific, should have recourse to a measure which was at least offensive, and which could hardly fail to lead to id:in:ate hostilities. The King of France and the Princes of the blood yielded to this reasoning; and the French Minister will remain at Madrid. The natural result of such a decision seems to be the dismissal of Montmorency, from the Cabinet; for the difference between him and N. de Villele is too great, and— what is of more consequence—is considered by the former in too personal alight, to admit of their acting together. The King of France, however, feels a justifiable hesitation in disgracing a respectable servant, and the instantaneous dismissal of Mont morency would have that appearance. Matters, therefore, will probably remain as they are, till the meeting of the Chambers, when Villele, who is certain of a majority, will carry a mo tion in approbation of his own view of this important question. Montmorency must then yield, and lie and his ultra coadjutors in the Cabinet will make ,room (it is to be hoped for ever) for more moderate and wiser counsellors. #.;-= Mr. AN inEws said he had not charged the robbery as hav ing been committed in Piccadilly. He had not said that the parcel taken out of the coach there was that of the loss of which Messrs. Hankey complained. Mr. ALLEY—If you take away that fact, what have you to say against the prisoner ? Mr. ANDREWS said he grounded his case upon the facts that the parcel had been delivered to the prisoner in Exeter, owl thd he had not delivered it in London, where it should haVe been delivered. The Learned Counsel observed that there was a very remarkalole circumstance attending the conduct of the prisoner at the Bull and Mouth. 'Upon being told by one of the female passengers that theparcel had been handed out, he never made use of air exclamation of fright or surprise, nor did he ever tell her that she had done wrong in giving the parcel to any one. Mr: ALLEY was still of opinion that if the offence had been committed any where it- certainly bad not been committed in the City, of London, but he should not press his objection. The LORD MAYOR—I am of opinion that this case comes within my jurisdiction. The fact of the robbing does not *bony rest upon the fact that a parcel was stolen from the coach in Piccadilly. I think that the trieing of the parcel, with the direction to deliver it in London, and the being paid for the conveyance, coupled with the fact that the .weight was an accustomed one, are circumstances which, added to others tha.t appeared in the course of the evidence, justify me in commit ting the prisoner.—At the same time, I must say it is a cir-, ctimstance favourable to the prisoner, that on the night the rob.: bery was cianmitte,d, he contimunicated the loss to Messrs. Han key. If he shall be acquitted, he may thank his carelessness and breach of confidence for being exposed to a trial at the Old Bailey. The prisoner was committed for trial. THE SOCIETY FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF VICE versus A few days ago the Lord Mayor was waited upon by a pet son who handed to him the following letter " Society for the Suppression bf Vice. " MY Lonn—d am directed by the committee to forward to your Lordship the copy of a Resolution .passed at their last meeting, and to request permission to wait upon your Lord ship on the subject.—l have the honour to he, your Lordship's obedient servant, " GEORGE RICHARDS. COPY OF THE RESOLUTION. " Resolved—That the Secretary do wait upon the Lord Mayor and inform his Lordship that placards are exhibited on the outside of Richard Carlile's shop in Giltspnr•street, advertising the sale of libellous -publications, and that he request the favour of his Lordship to order the City Offi cers, under the powers contained in the Act for regulating the streets, to remove the nuisance complained of, but that previously to waiting on his Lordship he sent a copy of this resolution." The Lord Mayor intimated to the bearer of this message, that he should readily attend to any thing the Society had to communicate, and appointed yesterday for the hearing of the matter. Accordingly, before one o'clock yesterday, a gentleman, who we suppose is the Secretary, appeared in the Justice room, and called (or rather whispered) his Lordship's atten tion to the subject. He said (but it was with * difficulty the reporter caught his words) that it was probably not nnknown to his Lordship that a most grievous nuisance existed at the corner of Giltspur•street, next door to the Compter prison, occasioned by the placards which were daily hung out at Carlile's shop. The pavement was frequently blocked up by crowds of idle people, to the great annoyance of the public, who were thus made sufferers, independently of the injury they were likely to sustain, by the violation of decency exhibited in the sale of libelous publications. He hoped his Lordship would take some measures against the parties under Mr. Taylor's Act. The Lord :Mayor said he wished to understand whether it was the object of the Society to proceed for the penalties ? The Secretary replied, certainly not. The society- wished merely for a removal of the nuisance. The Lord Mayor asked, by what acts the parties had brought themselves within the cognizance of the New Street Act? The Secretary replied, by hanging out in front of the shop and on the area rails matters which ten►le'l to create an obstrric tion on the pavement. He submitted that it was clearly within the intention of the Act to provide against such nuisances as that described. The Lord Mayor had no evidence to determine the cm upon, but as far as he understood the application it was not exe actly such as he thought he could afford a remedy upon. The Act appeiind to him to refer 'o projections to a certain extent, BURGLARY: UNION HALL.—Three men, named Cornby, Porter, and C. Austin, were brought before L. B. ALLEN, Esq. charged with having burglariously entered and robbed several house-4 on Christmas-day, in the neighbourhood of Walworth and Camberwell; the letter prisoner had only been liberated a few days preceding on a charge of attempting to steal bodies out of Newington Church-yard: The case selected against the pri , soners were as follow : _Mr. R. Blane, of No. 3, Graham-street, Walworth, stated ; that on Christmas-day he went out to dine with a friend, when he fastened his doors and windows securely, and returned home about half-past six o'clock. On attempting to unlock the door, he found it was fastened on the inside, and while he was.endea vouring to open it, he heard sor . men running down stairs ; he ran to the back part of the house, and saw the prisoner Cornby jump over the fence of his yard, and he was followed by Porter, who attempted to hide himself in a ditch. Corner was pursued, and never lost sight of till he was secured, and in his Hight he dropped a parcel of trinkets, which were afterwards found to have been stolen from the house, which, on examination, was ascertained to have been completely ransacked—every drawer. desk, and box therein being forced open. The linen and all the smaller articles were scattered about the rooms in the greatest disorder. The witness added, that as he was returning home in the evening he saw Austin loitering about his door, and after Cornby was secured he was also taken into custody. A part of a bag of nuts had been stolen out of the house, and when Austin was apprehended he was very busy cracking nuts. John Oakly, a watchman, who assisted in taking Cornby, described the violence of his conduct -towords Mr. Blanc. A parcel of jewellery, an iron crow, and matches, were picked up close to where the fellow was secured. Snow; the constable of Newington, stated, that between 12 and one on.the day in question he saw Austin and Cornby in company ; they were both given ever }rito his custody in the evening, and on going to Austin's house, he found Porter, who was drying his stockings by the fire, and appeared r.s if he had been in a ditch. Some articles, which were stolen from Mr. Blane'slolise, were found in Austin's lodgings. The same prisoners were charged with entering the house of Mr. Bean on the same day, and stealing therefrom a quantity of copper and oranges. This charge was also proved to the satisfaction of the Mi%ris trate,who committed the three prisoners for trial.
