The Paris Papers of Wednesday contain no news of any decided or important character. They state that it is the intention of the Aus trian Cabinet to continue for some time longer the provisional state of Europe, in other words, to do its best to postpone to some more conve nient opportunity that great struggle between right on the one hand, and legitimacy on the other, which must eventually take place. It is reported that the recall of the French expedition bound for Ancona has been resolved on, owing to an understanding agreed upon between M. PERIER and the Austrian Ambassador at Paris. The important fortress of the German Confederation at Mentz is to have an increase of garrison to the amount of thirty thousand men, in order to prevent disturbances in Germany. The news of the breaking out of cholera in Londo n excited little or no sensation in the French capital. W e are - delighted to be able to apprise ou r readers, that Government have at length resolved °n instituting an inquiry into the conduct of the Bristol Magistrates. The Ref orm Bill was aga i n di scusse d i n Com mittee last night, when the several clauses were disposed of. Nothing now remains but a dis cussion on schedules A and B. According to the Allgemeine Zeitung, the ac counts from Poland are all of the most contradictory character ; it states that with respect to the political restoration of the kingdom, nothing is known of the definitive intentions of the EMPEROR ; and that in the meantime, while the Russian authorities exert all their energies to restore the country to a state of order and prosperity, they meet with little or no co - operation among the inhabitants, who even in the state of subjugation to which they are reduced, still retain the spirit and the pride of freemen. Hope, therefore, still remains for Poland, even though Louts PHILIPPE sits on the throne of France. BERLIN, FEB. 3.—The accounts from Poland are still much at variance with each other. Nothing is known of the definitive intentions of the Emperor respecting the political restoration of the kingdom, whether or to what extent it shall take place. The European treaties stipu lated, it is true, that Poland shall remain a kingdom, with a Constitution of its own, and separate from Russia ; hut by these same treaties Holland and Belgium formed one united kingdom, and as changes have been made in this point, so may there be changes in the other. Mean time the Russian civil and military authorities do ev e ry thing in th e i r power to restore the country to a state of order and prosperity ; unhappily they meet with little co ) operation from the inhabitants, but rather much oppo.i tion and distrust. The Polish fugitives hold a proud lan guage, very remote from despondency, and such language is sometimes held quite openly in the country itself. It may be imagined that many stories and accounts unfa vourahle to the Russians arise entirely from these hostile senti ments; the r e p orts a l so of pretended apprehensions for Russsia of impending disturbances, of discovered plots, &c. are chiefly to be traced to the same source. phi ,The success of th e di p l omat i c negociations, the object of eh is the preservation of peace, is no longer doubtful, rbatird w ith us a ll armaments are suspended. It is said that 8 T e e Willia m , t h e Ki ng ' s brother, will return in the P r L l n . g to res i de in the Rhenish provinces. leUte nant-General Von Witzleben, his Majesty's Adju taut liintit Gener a l, i s seriously ill, and all classes manifest the l ively int erest i n t hi s much esteemed and meritorious -444ce r . In• M . Von Arnien, President of Police at Berlin, persisting aterert,ing from that office, will be succceded by Dr. Frank, , "gam otter of Magdeburg. s'Assar,, F E , ahortly • I.—lt is still reported that we may A b expect AI.

The Prince Regent ia endea medi'um of the 11Iiiiintr y and be diWensed fi. t aln from the Elector that he may rat, th e paYment of the sum of 50,000 ) dollars per annum, which he is to pay to his fa ther out of the Civil List of 392,000 dollars which has been made over to him. Saxe Weimar has How likewise protested, in energetic terms, to our Government against the breach of the Com mercial Convention of Central Germany. FRANKFORT, FEB 9.—The reFort of an expected visit from his Imperial Majesty the Emperor Nicholas at Berlin is contradicted. His Highness Prince Augustus of Leuchtenberg will go to Alarnheim, to meet the Duchess his mother, who will s top some days with the Dowager Grand Duchess of Baden. It is with much satisfaction that we observe the indifference, amounting almost to derision, with which intelligent persons in London treat the panic which the name of cholera has spread among people of limited information, and little accustomed to reflection. Now that the disease is actually in the metropolis, we do not hesitate to remark that nothing can be more puerile than to treat as a calamity of all-engrossing magnitude a malady which, in the North of England, in a space of four months, carried off, up to yester day, only 1,346 souls. While the disease was on the Continent, there was more excuse for a general apprehension from what was then en veloped in more mystery than it is now, but there is really no longer any excuse for reason able people acting on the rule of " o'nneignotum pro mabrnifico," and raising up a bugbear of cholera morbus for the surprise and terror of the vulgar. We by no means deprecate any of the precau tions adopted under the orders of the Board of Health—quite the contrary ; for we are sure they I cannot fail to be useful, whatever the disease may be, and that whether that disease be contagious . or epidemic, indigenous or of foreign importation, ' it is of great importance to impede the progress of the maladies which filth, poverty, and impure air are certain, sooner or later, to engender. The general condition of the poor of the metropolis, and especially of the eastern districts and the suburbs, is an afflicting contrast to a state approaching any thing like well being. The large portion of the inhabitants of this overgrown city, who are the habitual victims of want and misery, ought to be a cutting reproach to those who are in the prac tice of extolling the society in which they live. To this unfortunate class of persons the incident of the cholera is likely to do much good, as bringing to them various means of the preserva tion of health, such as ventilation, cleanliness, warmth, and improvement in diet. There is much and reasonable dissatisfaction at those measures of Government whose tendency is to check commercial intercourse, by augment ing the absurd terror entertained by continental nations of the disease in question. The regu lations in regard to quarantine have, it must he confessed, been somewhat unworthy of the in telligent spirit which appears, in most matters, to animate the Board of Trade, and the inju rious effect upon commerce has hitherto been by far the greatest evil to which the cholera has given rise. This evil, we presume, Mr. BRISCOE must admit to result from the want of wisdom in man, and can, we suppose, form no part of the Providential infliction proposed to have been recited in Lord ALTHORP'S Bill. We concede with Mr. BRISCOE that Divine Providence rules mankind, in health and in sickness—in prosperity and in adversity--at all times and seasons--and that it is the part of men to bow with meekness and reverence in all things to the Divine Will ; but we are at a loss to understand why the death by a particular disease of less than 1,400 per sons, out of a population of twenty-two millions ; is to be interpreted as an especial judgment of the Supreme Power on a condemned land ? What can induce Ministers to tolerate such stuff as the Saints are constantly pestering them with ? These gentlemen ought to be satisfied with carrying their point of the General Fast, and not obtrude themselves so perpetually to the inter ruption of public business. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS. The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, at Melton Mowbray, from Derbyshire ; Sir R. Buxton, Bart., in Harley.street, from his seat, Shadwell Lodge, Norfolk ; Col.

Perry, from Groavenor.street, for Brighton. We are happy in being enabled to contradict the rumour that has appeared in all the Papers, of the in disposition of Lord TENTERDEN. His Lordship's absence from the Court of King's Bench on Wednesday last was not owing to ill health, as stated, but in cone quence of his judicial attendance being required at the Privy Council upon the appeal of the Hon. J. H. BENT, the late Chief Justice of Grenada. His Lordship presided to-day in his Court, and appeared in good health and spirits. The remains of Mrs. MUSTERS, the wife of JOHN MUSTERS, Esq., and who was the favourite of the celebrated Lord BYRON, were on Monday morning re moved from Wiverton Hall, about two miles from Bing ham, and deposited in the family vault of Mr. MUSTERS, in Cola•ick church, near Nottingham. NonwicH, FEB. 15.—0 n Thursday Mr. PEACOCK and his family, eleven in number (late of the firm of MAnsuALL and PEACOCK, manufacturers), took their departure from this city by the Newark coach, for the United States of America. in the hope like many others of finding there that prosperity which the peculiar circum stances of their own country seem to deny them. Some alarm was created in Liverpool on Tuesday and Wednesday, by a report that several cases of malignant cholera had broken out in that town. It was found, however, on inquiry, that the cases were English cholera. SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.—The Western Luminary, in giving an account of a duel between two attornies, says, with much naivete, " The shot took effect and passed through the lower part of the left thigh of his opponent, and fractured the bone. The medical man bound up the wound, which is not likely to be attended with any serious consequences, although he may probably feel the effects of it during his lift !"—Our contemporary is an uncommonly funny fellow if he considers a man's being lamed for life a joke. Ripe blackberries were this week gathered from a bramble in Saltram woods, singular proof of the genial atmosphere of this neighbourhood, and ti,e extraor dinary mildness of the season. There were abundance of blossoms and green berries on the same. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE -(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

By con struing these familiar exercises into French, according to the method recommended in the Key, a person is kept in constant practice, and may learn the French language with as much facility as if he studied it in Paris. I am, Sir, y'our's respectfully, London, Feb. 13, 1832. M s N.8.--M. Douville is also the author of an excellent • in troductory book to the French language, iu 19 lessons. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. We have received the Journal de la Hoye, of the 15th February, by the Dutch steamer, in which we find the following pacific paragraph :—" It is this moment reported that General Count Orloff is arrived at the Hague. The name of this honourable Aide-de-Camp is known to all Europe ; his enlightened mind, and his connections with all Europe are the guarantee of the mission which is con fided to him, and is of the greatest importance." We be lieve, as well as the Journal of St. Petersburylt, that the questions which are attached to the affairs of Eelgium are approaching to an end, and his mission, which has for its object the principles of royalty, and the views of the Em peror of Russia to concliate difficulties, will certainly meet with a good reception from the King of Holland and his people, who have to this moment defended their in terests. WARSAW, FEB. 5. —The Universal Gazette of this day announces the departure of Prince Paskewitsch; his absence will not be of long duration. They write from Madrid that the news received by the Spanish Government of Don Pedro having united a con siderable force at Belleisle has caused great alarm there. Don Miguel has sent a second diplomatic agent to Madrid. In the province of Salameo and Cuidad Rodrigo there are already united from 10,000 to 12,000 men. THE FUNDS. The estafette from Paris this morning brings the French Rentes higher, 66f. 7.5 c. ; but no news of im portance. The French Government were acquainted with the cholera having broken out in London, which has not caused any great alarm in the French capital, and it is said that a quarantine of three days will only he put on ships coming from the port of London. Indeed we suspect that there is more alarm to be appre hended in London of the typhus fever than the cholera murbus, particularly in the crowded and distressed dis tricts; therefore we should caution all the parishes to give immediate relief, particularly in necessaries of life, to these unfortunate brings. A great number of bills were posted up at Paris during the night of the 14th Febru iry, representing the figure of Henry IV., with a dog on one side, and a vase from which issues a part of a fleur de lys. W e find that the Earl of Harrowhy and Lord Wharn eliffe had a long conference yesterday with Earl Grey at the Treasury, which no doubt related to the passing of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords. Gins°le, which left off yesterday at 82i for the Ac count, opened at 82k, afterwards were done at 82i 4, at whiclo price they are at present. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. What we stated several days since in our City article, that one of the Princes of Holland was to be King of Greece, we believe is now confirmed. The Allied Powers, as a recompense for the loss of Belgium to the King of Holland, has placed Prince Frederick on the throne of Greece, and we understand he is to take with him from 13,000 to 20,000 troops of various descriptions, so that he will have nothing to fear from the treachery of the Greeks. We cannot, as yet, learn to a certainty what length of time the quarantine has bee❑ ordered in France for ships coming from England. We have no further political news at present, hut we understand that the only difficulty in settling the affairs of Holland relates to the internal navigation of the rivers, with some trifling differences in the debt, which, it is sup posed, will soon be removed. Consols are at present 821, alternately buyers and sellers. In the Foreign Market no business doing. THREE O' CL CK. Consols 828. GLUTTONY. —At the Royal Oak inn, Burn ley, on Wednesday evening, a native of the sister island un dertook, for two quarts of ale, to eat twelve pounds of po tatoes, and two red herring•, in ten minutes; but broke down when he had swallowed the herrings and nine pounds of potatoes in not quite seven minutes !--Black burn Gazette.

The Lords present were the LORD CHAN CELLOR, the Earls of ELDON, SHAFTESBURY, MEATH, Rod FINGAL, and Lords BEVERLEY and GOWER. CROFTON PEERAGE. The Committee resolved, after hearing evidence, that the claimant in this Peerage had nude out his claim to vote at the election of Representative Peers fer Ireland. WATERFORD PEERAGE. The Earl of SHREWSBURY, in this case, claimed to vote at the election of Repreeentstive Peers for Ireland, as the Earl of Waterford. Mr. LYNCH was this morning heard on behalf of the Noble Claimant ; after which the further consideration of the case was adjourned sine die Prayers haring been read, the House proceeded with the appeal of LOGAN V• WIENBOLT. This case came before their LORDSHIPS on an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor on further directions— the question in which was the construction of a bond in troduced into an agreement by a gentleman of the name of Birkett, on the marriage of his ❑iece. by which he hound himself to give her as large a portion of his property as he should give to any body else. Sir C. WETHERELL. was addressing the House on behalf of the appellant when our reporter left. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The MASTER of the ROLLS did not sit to-day, in con. sequence of Mr. Bickersteth and Mr. Pemberton having to attend the House of Lords. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the tircE-CHANCELI.oft took motions behind the Bar, and causes to-day; but in con , equenee of the absence of Sir Edward Sugden and Mr. Pepys, who were engaged in the Howe of Lords, and Mr. Knight, who had to attend in the Court of Exchequer, in the case of " Small and Attwood," notl,iug of public importance came before his Honour in the course of the morning. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY, M. LEECH'S BANKRUPTCY. The last meeting of the creditors of Mr. Leech, of the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, took place this morn. ing, at twelve o'clock, at the Court in Basinghall-street, before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd. The morning was occupied in putting in claims for small debts--the largest amount proved was 401. Mr. Leech was present, sur rounded by a host of friends. The business was proceed ing when our reporter left. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of all descriptions of Grain this week are tole rably good, but not so large as last week. Of Flour the quantity is moderate. The Wheat trade remains very dull at Monday's terms. Barley is excessively heavy, and again cheaper. Beans and Pease remain as on Monday. Oats find buyers snore readily than of late, and are rather dearer. Flour continues extremely dull on sale. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Flour.

Barbadoes, by public sale, 124 hhds. ; low and coloury fetched 50s. to 58s. with a heavy market. The sales of the week, up to this morning, barely exceed 2,400 hhds. FOREIGN SUGARS.-LOW Brazils are heavy ; strong white Havannah are in demand. Most of the public sales have gone off with languor. White Brazils are at 20e. to 245., and Brown from 17'. 6d. to 18s. 6d. ; White Ha. v l y s' at to 2 2 2 4 s.. lower;ann m a a s p o a l d re a e t l 3 0 f l s i,h 6 i d t . e t h o aa 3l k s e . en ; t i infer o r pr f i r v o a m tel to 245. 6d. per cwt. EAST INDIA SUGAR.-There are but few arrivals from the Mauritius. For exportation some business has been done rather cheaper ; good Grey, for home use, are worth 51s. to 525. The arrivals up to this time last year were about 36,000 bags, while only 6,000 bags have yet come in their season. Bengals have sold at about last Corn. pany's sale prices. Sundas are 6d. to Is. per cwt. lower. REFINED SUGARS.-This market is in an unusually stagnant state, owing to the suspension of business for expo! t, the result of the official notification of the existence of the cholera in London. Lumps are 6d. to Is. per cwt. cheaper, and fine goods may be had lower than last week. COFFEE.-The same remark which has just been made respecting the suspension of trade in refined Sugar, applies also to all descriptions of foreign Coffees. British Plantation also participates in the languor. There are buyers in the market, and when the regulations of foreign ports are known respecting the quarantine regulations that may be improved, prices are expected higher. The public sales have offered nothing of interest. Jamaican were sold at from 2s. to 3s. lower ; for sound round berry 88s. to 90s. 6d. being obtained. Dutch have gone Is. to 2, lower ; East India descriptions at again Is. per cwt. lower ; good Samarang is saleable at 46r. 6d. to 475. ; ordinary and mixed Batavia at 48s. to 50s. per cwt. RUM AND BRANDY.-This article is not so brisk, and in the last three days there was very little doing ; pur chaser are a shade lower. Proof Leewards are worth only Is. 4id. per gallon. Brandy is about 2d. per gallon lower ; first marks 4s. sd. to 4a. 7d. ; second ditco 4s. to 4s. 3d., and two samples Ss. fid. to 3s. 9d. per gallon. Hollands are at 26. Bd. per gallon. Isrozoo.-Tbe public sales within the last few days have gone off at about last Company'. sale prices. DRUGS. -The Market for cholera drugs is not mate rially affected by the purchases, if the disease is in London. Cajeput may be had at 3s. 6d. to 4s. 6d. per ounce. Camphor is at about 141. French arrivals are looked for soon. WooLs.--There has been some business doing in Wools, for the Leeds and West of England manufacturers, but the export of goods will be impeded by the order for refusing clean bills of health to ves.4els leaving the river.

EXTRAORDINARY LARGE TURBOT.-011 Saturday last a turbot was caught at Staiths, near Whitby, of the remarkable weight of I3st. Sibs., and which mea sured two yards in length. It was brought to this city on Sunday morning, where it was bought by Mr. DAWSON, and by him conveyed to Sheffield.— York Courant. MONSTER.--MURDER.--We stated about six weeks since, that an individual of the name of BETTY GANNON, had been missing since June last, and was supposed to have been murdered by the nionster BYRNE, who strangled himself in the gaol of this town the night after he had been committed for the murder of another female named ANNE COFFEY. Our suspicion has, we regret to say, been verified. Some workmen, who were engaged on Saturday morning last, at the pre mises adjoining the house where BYRNE had resided, dis covered—in making some alteratiiins—a body buried in an, out-house, and reduced almost to a skeleton, which was with some difficulty and only by a portion of her dress, which had been buried with her—recognised as the re mains of BETTY Gatotot.r. This is the third female of a degraded elms, who se mur d ers h ave b een trace d to this wretch; and, as we stated at the time of his death, no reason can, nor , h as been assigned for the perpetration of these horrible deeds. This is the sixth individual to whose violent end this monster has been accessary, or lather, whom h e actually murdered. Another female is missing, and little doubt is entertained but that she has 8 130 fallen a v i ct i m to this person's unaccountable barbarity. Coirlow Pot. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Louisa Chambers, aged 17, was capitally indicted for stealing in the house of Aaron Royce, her master, two gold rings, value 51., the sum of 11. (id. in money, a shawl, and other articles. It appeared that the prisoner had for some time been in the service of the prosecutor. On the 20th Dec., her mistress gave her a purse, in which were a half sovereign and 10s. 61. in silver, to put into a drawer. On the following day she asked and obtained permission to go out for half an hour ; she never returnel to ler master's house, arid upon examining if any thing was missing, it was ascertained th it she had not placed the money in the drawer as she had been requested to do, and two valuable gold rings and a shawl were also Missed. The prisoner was subsequently apprehended. The Learned JUDGE left it to the Jury to say whether they were of opinion that the prisoner had taken property to the value of five pounds at any one time ; if she had, then she was guilty of the capital charge ; but if she took property at any one time of a less value, then she would be guilty only of the simple larceny. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing nnlir the value of five pounds. Henry Ronsley, aged 20, was indicted for having been found at large in this country before the expiration of his sentence of transportation. The prisoner had been convicted of felony in the year 1826, and sentenced to seven years' transportation, and in li•cember last he was apprehended in Bethnal. green, where he was working as a rule-maker. The prisoner, in his defence, admitted he had been sentenced to be transported in the year 1826, at which time he was only 14 years old, and that after serving three years and a half of his sentence he was prevailed upon by another convict to endeavour to effect bis escape ; eded, and had been two yeas and a half in London, during which time be had obtained, by his industry, a knowledge of the trade of rule-making, by which he had supported himself up to the time of his being apprehended. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and his LORDSHIP said he had no doubt, under the circumstances, his case would receive a merciful consideration elsewhere. George Athea, a very respectable-looking young man, aged 20, was indicted for stealing, on the 12th of January, seventy yards of silk, value 91., four veils, value 91., and a shawl, value 2/., the property of his employers, Matthew Hailing, John Pearce, and Edward Stone, linen drapers, &c. of Waterloo-house, C , ockepur-street. Mr. LEE stated the case on behalf of the prosecution. Mr. CLARKSON appeared for the prisoner. Thomas .'Martin stated, that he was in the employ of the prosecutors, who had about ninety men in their ser vice. There was one part of their premises, which was called the Manchester warehouse, it was not usual generally to keep silk in that warehouse ; but on the 11 th January, he was surprised at seeing a piece of silk in a box that excited suspicion, and witness in formed Mr. Pearce of it ; by Mr. Pearce's direction witness marked the silk and replaced it ; witness was put in a place to watch it ; on the following day, while witness was concealed, about nine o'clock i❑ the morn ing, he saw the prisoner go to the box, take out the piece of silk, and force out the block upon which it was rolled. Ile then put the silk under his coat, and walked away. Witness then informed Mr. Stone of what he had seen, and a constable was sent for. Joseph Hanson, police constable, No. 38 A division, was sent for to the prosecutor's house ; he saw the pri saner in the counting-house ; Mr. Pearce charged the prisoner with stealing a piece of silk ; the prisoner made no reply. Witness searched him, but did not find any thing upon him ; he afterwards, in the prisoner's present., searched the bed-room in which he had slept. The pri soner, at witness's request, poin►ed out his box, in which he found a piece of silk, and other articles, now produced. Mr. John Pearce, one of the prosecutors, identified the piece of silk as being the piece which had been marked in the warehouse by the first witness. There were 70-31 yards, at 2s. 6d, a yard, which would be of the value of nearly 9/. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARICSON—Witness resided in the house as a dwelling-bones. The whole of the young men in the establishment also slept in the house; there were ninety-one of them. Witness paid for bis occupation what his partners were allowed for their residences else where. The whole building belonged to the firm, merely paying a ground -rent. The ground•rent was about 4001. a year, witness paid to the firm 2251. a year for his pot. tion cf the house which he occupied, and his partners were each allowed the same sum. By Mr. Baron BAYLEY—The young men were fed in the house at the expence of the firm. Mr. CLARKSON Submitted that the house was not in point of fact the dwelling-house of the firm. His LORDSHIP was clearly of opinion that it was pro perly described as the dwelling-house of the firm ; if upon subsequent consideration he entertained any doubt, the prisoner should have the benefit of it. - Mr. Pearce, to some further questions, said he took the prisoner into his service on the 16th September last, and that he had a good character with him. Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent charac ter for honesty up to the time of this transaction having occurred. His Li:transfixr in summing up said, if the Jury were of opinion that the prisoner had stolen the property, and that it was of the value of 51 and upwards, they were bound to find him guilty. With respect to character, that was a subject which would not be overlooked hereafter. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of previous good character. The prosecutors joined in the recommendation. Mr. Baron BAYLEY said he would forward the recom mendation to the Crown. John Judd, aged twenty, was indicted for assaulting Robert Edward Moore, on the King's highway, and stealing from his person a hat. From the evidence for the plosecution, it appeared that the prosecutor, and a man named Cooper, were coming along the Kingsland-road, on the night of the 24th January, and they rushed to go into the Eagle publiehouse, but in entering a number of persons rushed out, and the prosecutor and Cooper were pushed away ; Cooke, a police constable, came up and advised them to go home. They had got only a few yards when the prisoner came before them, and knocked the prosecutor down by a tremendous blow in the mouth. While he was on the ground, the prisoner took the prose cutor's hat, and was seen by the constable to hand it to some of his associates. The prisoner with great difficulty was secured, but the hat was never found. The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. Abraham Harris, aged 24, Augustus Wood, aged 24, and Charles Anderson, aged 24, were indicted for steal- ing from the dwelling-house of Samuel Michael, a quan tity of muffs, tippets, boas, lambskins, &c., his property; and Lucy Hambridye, aged 26, was indicted for receiv ing the same, knowing them to be stolen. Mr. C. PHILLIPS and Mr. CLARKSON appeared for the prisoners. All the prisoners were very respectably dressed. Samuel Michael stated that he lived in Brook's-square, Brook's-market, Holborn, and was a furrier; on the 2d of January he missed six muffs, value 245. each ; five tippets, of the same price; three boas, worth 31. 10s. ; and other goody, altogether of the value of 321. He had last seen them on the night previously, and he missed them a little after eight o'clock on the 2d of January. He knew Harris, but none of the other prisoners. Harris had bee❑ to his house two or three weeks before the rob bery took place, when he remarked that witness had a good stock of furs ; he replied he had, and he wished he could sell them. O❑ the 3d of January some of the stoles, pro perty was found, and is now in the possession of the offi cers. Nearly all of the property was found. Cross-examined by Mr. C. Pktuurs—Sanauel Michael was his only name. Had bought furs of Harris. Harris called on Sunday night, ti.e lst of January, and witness told him that on the Friday night previously three men had opened his shutters and attempted to get into the house. Harris then asked if witness had sold the muffs and tippets, and he replied he had not. Witness then showed him the muffs and all his stock, upon Harris saying he had a customer for them. The following morning he discovered the robbery. Thomas Davey, a policeman, deposed that he found some furs on Tuesday night, the 3d of January, under a bed in a room, and now produced them ; they consisted of tippets, collars, and skins ; he also found a quantity of boots and shoes. The furs amounted altogether to 83 pieces. He found no muffs. The room in which he found them was at No. 10, Lion and Lamb -court. The pri soners Wood and Hambridge were in the room at the time. The same night he took Anderson at the Castle public house, in Grenville's-rents, Cow-cross -lane. Husain, inspector of police, was with the last wit ness when the furs were found in the room where Wood and Hambridge were. There were two beds in the room but neither of them on bedsteads. Some of the furs were found under the beds. Wood and Hambridge were taken into custody. The case was proceeding when our reporter left. There is another indictment against the prisoners, A MILD CASE.—AiSeotch Papery after men tioning the death of a Woman at Edinburgh, by the eholera 1 - lorbus adds--" Her emit n as a mild one !" DRURY-LANE THEATRE. A new farce, called The Self-Tormentor, was brought nut here last night. The main abject of the drama is to expose the " whims and fancies"' of Mr. Crotchet (Mr. aaEN,) a gentleman who labours under the, not too common, complaint of being so easy in his circumstances, so tbrtunate in his position in life, that he is compelled to draw upon the infirmities of his temper to find materials for making himself miserable. Of this character, which , ontains ample scope for such acting as Mr. FA KEEN'S, he made a west amusing exhibition. Mr. Crotchet has an excellent wife, tenderly attached to him, a mother-in-law whose affection for him and her fondness for physic are somewhat troublesome, a number of very worthy friends, and a fair daughter, betrothed to Edward Winstanley, the son of an old acquaintance, but whom he has never seen. He distrust :and quarrels with them all, determines that his daughter shall not marry her lover, and accuses the latter of being a drunkard, a gamester, and a libertine, because he has committed a trifling excess in a jovial party, lost a small sum at play, and ki'sed a pretty servant girl who brought him a letter from his mistress. His jealous propensities induce him to resort to the contrivance of personatanga money-lending attorney, Mr. Sharp, in order t o be introduced to the young man. A mutual friend discloses this imposture to Winstanley, and helps him to his revenge. The supposed 211 r. Sharp is invited to dine with lVinstanley, and, by the contrivances of his son-in law and his friend, is induced to kiss the same servant girl, to drink as much wine as any of the gay fellows he meets there, and to back himself at picquet against the whole party. His own censures are retorted upon him,—he shamed out of his caprices and injustice, and too glad to escape by consenting to the marriage he had determined t o oppose. The farce was very well acted. Besides Mr. FA RREN, Mrs. ORO FR, as a country girl, and Mr. lialuxy, as a lout of a footman, were excessively amus• ing. We take this opportunity of noticing the re-appear ance of Mr. H. JOHNSTONE, whose merits are well known to the public, and whose ten years' absence from the Lon don stage has in no degree impaired the powers which long ago snide him deservedly a favourite. NEW STRAND THEATRE. Last evening the infant prodigy, Master Ht;Gm Ed, a Welch child, not five years of age, made his first appear ance on these boards as a performer on the pedal harp, on which instrument he played several popular airs with variations in a style that showed great talent, which was rendered the more astonishing in a child of such tender years. Indeed it is scarcely credible, but we state it as a fact, that his fingers ran over the chords of tho instrument (which was nearly twice his own height) with as much ease as those of many very old practitioners. He was most deservedly applauded by a very crowded audi ence. A piece was produced here for the first time, en titled the Triumph of Fidelity, in which Mr. RAY NER supported the character of farmer Robin; it was a piece that seemed to have been written al most exclusively for that gentleman, who supported his character with his accustomed success; except ing his Tyke and Giles we know of no character in which he has an opportunity of displaying powers which we believe have not developed themselves in any other actor since the days of JOHN EMERY. MrS. WAYLETT i ilayed in two pieces, Mystification and The Four Sisters. In the latter she displayed her versified talent to great ad vantage, and during the evening she sang some very favou rite songs, in which she was moat enthusiastically ap plauded. CHOLERA.—The town this morning w,.:5 'brown into the most dreadful state or alarm, by the an nouncement that a travelling bookseller, named Mutt nocll, had died, in New Sneddon, of cholera morbus, and that other two women had died of the same dire disorder. En the case of Illuanocx, the whole of our Medical Fa culty, except one, were in a state of doubt as to the real nature of his malady ; but Dr. LAWRIK of Glasgow, who came here this morning about two o'clock, at once pronounced that it was spasmodic cholera. One of h e other cases is that of a woman residing in the same land with the deceased Munnocrr, and is comparatively ,if a mild nature. The third one is likewise that of a fetnale, resident not very far from the place where the tither cases occurred, and is of the most virulent description. The body of Muanocit was this afternoon put into a common cart, and interred, not in any of the common burying grounds, but in a part of the lands called the Moss, belonging to the community, to which quarter it is contemplated to bring all those who may hereafter fall victims to this wasting pestilence. It was a new and a mournful sight for the inhabitants of Paisley to see a fellow mortal consign-d to the grave, without any of the decent observance common on similar occasions. It is impossible, however, to banish appre hensions that such painful scenes are about to become familiar to us. We may just add, that all those hitherto affteted have been in abject poverty, but as this is no uncommon pestilence in these visitations, and affords no guarantee to the rich, so it is not to be wondered at that one of our affluent merchants, residing in the neigh bourhood of the disease, has already sent off his family to the country.—Paisley Advertiser. The sources of the greatest rivers are not the most remarkable for the features that surround them. The sources of the mighty rivers of the Western Hemisphere or even of the great rivers of Africa or Asia, have not, as far as is known, been visited by the traveller, with the single exception of the Nile; their sources are probably placed amid those unapproached solitudes, where the foot of man has never yet wandered ; what appearances of nature may preside over their birth we have no means of knowing ; but it does not appear from the narrative of BRUCE that the source of the Nile afforded any example of extraordi nary sublimity. The sources of the large rivers of the Eu ropean continent arc many of them well known ; but the sources of neither the Rhine, the Rhone, nor the Danube, present those majestic and imposing features that distin guish the sources of some of the smaller class. Nor is this difficult to explain; the large rivers have not one, but many sources ; and as the source, par excellence, we mount to the highest, which invariably lies among the upper fields of snow. The smaller rivers, on the other hand, may gush at once from a single spring, placed per haps among the rocks, and ravines, and precipices, which lie lower than the line of congelation. It is, at all events, a fact, that the most sublime sources are those which be long to the smaller rivers. Of these I may mention the Soane, the Gave, and the Sourgue—the two latter espe cially. The Gave rises in the magnificent amphitheatre of Marbore ; and the Sourgue bursts at once, an imposing torrent, upon the immortal fountain of Vaucluse.—From article upon " Rivers" in the Monthly Magazine. PRESENCE OF MlND.—During Lord Ex ' mouTies attack on the batteries of Algi,re, in 1816, the Algerines used a great number of red-hot shot, particu larly in the early part of the action. On board his Ma jc.sty's bomb Infernal, one of those comfortable articles came in, through Wattus's, the purser's cabin, in the after cock-pit, and having bundled a shelf full of books on the top of the assistant -surgeon, JONES, who was lying in the purser's cot, given over with the Gibralttr fever, it rolled across into the opposite cabin, and was there got into a bucket of water, by the gunner and some others stationed near the spot. This interesting amusement was but just con cluded, when the men in the magazine, the door to which was close by, heard a desperate smash among the powder barrels, and were almost covered with a cloud of loose dust and powder, which was thrown all over them. Knowing the business which had employed the gunner in the cock-pit but just the instant before, they naturally enough, in the c , mfasion of the moment, called out to him, "A red-hot shot in the magazine !" and were rushing out of it to cir culate wider the same cry, should their new red-hot ac quaintance permit them. The ill consequences of this may be easily conceived ; the only chance for any one on such an occasion being to jump at once overboard. The gunner in an instant saw that if the cry was false it', was folly to spread it ; and if true it was useless ; for to kingdom come we must inevitably go. He flew to the no igazine, shoved the fellows back into it, and turning the key on them, stood there, with his hand on the lock, till he knew all danger must be past : rather a queerish situation, gentle reader ! The chaps were afterwards a little laughed at ; for, strange to say, we could not find this intruder on their equanimity of temper any where ; and many doubted at last if any shot had come into the magazine at all. To be sure there were the broken bar rels and the spilled powder in favour of the narrators of the story ; but this seemed still not fully to convince; for even the worst of dangers generally get laughed at when they are over, by our happy-go-lucky 80 08 . e o: Neptune.
