Mr. O'Hara, of No. 16, Blackheath-road, gen tleman, said the bill belonged to a friend (a lady who was in attendance), and he gave it to Thompson to get it discounted. Ile produced the notice which had been given to the prisoner, subscribed by him, "received H. Gulstone." He waited upon the prisoner respecting the transaction, who frankly acknowledged that he had, in fact, made use of the bill, but h e wou ld, i n the course of three or four , days, either give him the money, or get the bill back. Ile had done neither, and being accidentally met with in Cheaps'de, on Tuesday afternoon, he was given into custody. The prisoner was about to say something in ex planation, but he was checked by the Alderman, who observed the evidence would nor sustain a charge of felony. The notice was -insufficient for the purpose. He read the paper, which ran thus "Take notice, that I give you a bill of exchange._ (here the particulars of it were recited)—for the purpose of being discounted or returned to me." " Well, he has discounted it," observed the magis trate, " and has complied with your notice, which does not go on to direct what he shall do with the proceeds. The prisoner must be discharged. It was a hard case for the complainant, but he might arrest the prisoner, though he could not proceed against him for felonionsly appropriating the pro ceeds to his own use." The prisoner was accordingly discharged. B O WT'-STREET. Yesterday two young women came before Tito- HAS HALLS, Esq., and one of them, who appeared to be about 20 years of age, and rather pretty than other wise, said in a low tone of voice that she wanted his 'Worship's advice under peculiar circumstances. About two or three months ago she was married to a young man, who was in a situation, and after the ceremony was performed, he did not go with her to her home to consummate the marriage, but returned to his master's, who resided at the \Vest-end of the town. He had repeatedly called upon her since her marriage, but she had taken so decided a dislike to him, that she was anxious to be separated from him, and she wished his Worship to inform her whether, as the marriage had not been consummated, she would be guilty of a breach of the law in case she I married again. Mr. HALLS did not sit there to give legal advice to any parties who might apply to him, but he had no hesitation in saying that, as she married the man, if she married another she might be involved in se rious difficulty. She said she could not live with him, and she would not, whatever might be the consequence. She had been told that she might marry again, as she had not been in the same bed with the man. Mr. HALLS declined saying anything more on the subject, and she left the office in a very sorrowful mood. Yesterday H IV A iII T ia T 2 N- Ed G w A ar ß df, E & l t V i;zuel Turner, and Ann, his wife, were brought from the New CaptainftilaaidnitriligdatDvistiaowel:ladgtioisarn,no,abgbgooeoflddldthhe ci ßoyal aasecvvoa A erl rua r ala t ib i n l gl l ee e oc r ikg y d - ol , al b o cdre n o,%ov s sca u eht svcep. seve ral Prison, Cl er k enwe l l, for re-examination, charged b • locket, o r r cion o amounting a bo i rug n i rings, the and valuea o f quantity4o 001. a and d o u t j r e d c s v . elle ry, , Mrs. Mary Dalton, wife of Captain Dalton, on the evening of the 31st of March last, had occasion to remove various articles of her property to her residence in Bernard -street, Russelltsouare , the stand, to assist the coachman. On arriving at her house she entered, and carelessly confided in them to remove the property from the coach, and the parties quitted the place, informing her that they had carried all the property from the vehicle, and placed the same in the hall. Shortly after their departure she missed her dressing-case, containing the above property, upon which information was immediately given to the police of the district, with a description of the property. Edwards was then looked for, and, being found, would not, or could lint, give the name of the coachman or number of the coach, but said he would find him out very soon, in case he was paid liberally. The prosecutor then agreed to pay him ss. per day, which sum was accepted, and, having been paid for several days, Edwards called, and stated that he was tired of the job, and would have nothing more to do with it, unless he was paid bet ter. Suspicions were then excited that he knew more of the robbery than he pretended, and the pro secutor gave him into the custody of a police-sergeant (Shackell) of the A division, to whom a slight de scription of the coachman was given. Sergeant Shackell deposed that Edwards told him he knew all about the consent, but wouldn't split, unless they gave him more money. Since the last examination witness had made further inquiry, and having strong reason to suspect the prisoner Turner was the driver of the coach, he apprehended him and his wife. Turner was present at the last examina tion of Edwards, and, on being questioned, he posi tively denied any knowledge of the robbery, or being driver of a coach to Bernard-street on the 31st of March. Witness and Captain Dalton saw Edwards while at Clerkenwell prisoner, and what he stated to them confirmed their suspicions of Turner. Edwards's wife deposed that while her husband was in custody, and before the apprehension of Turner, Mrs. Turner (his wife) called upon her, and offered a shilling a day not to split. The prisoners said nothing, and were remanded. Edwards and his wife were then bound over in re cognizlnces to appear at the next examination, to give further evidence. ,• . . 4, • . , - - ) • "'"' • 4 ' "k ,, %. Av: f;'" ...,..:-.... --, 3.

Having subsequently ascertained that she had sold it, witness applied to this office and had her ta ken into custody. The prisoner still declared in the presence of the magistrate, that it had been taken by her landlord for rent. Complainant—Your Worship, she sold it for half its value, for the purpose of eloping with a man to Portsmouth. Mr. TWYFORD—What that old woman Complainant—Yes; but the moment he got hold of the money he ran off without her. Here the complainant handed for the magistrate's inspection, the receipt for the money (13/. 135.) she had paid for the mangle. It appearing that the conduct of the prisoner was mixed up with great ingratitude, Mr. TwvFoap observed that it was a most shame ful transaction, and fined her in the sum of 51. over and above the value of the property, or, in default of payment, to be imprisoned three months in the House of Correction. —Committed. TIIAMES POLICE. Yesterday James George, a warehouseman in the employ of the London Tea Company, Ludgate-hill, and a dealer in marine stores, in Redcross.street, Southwark, was charged before Mr. BALLANTINE with having in his possession 500 lbs. weight of iron, and 121bs. weight of old lead, stolen from the works of the old London bridge, and a quantity of brass taps and door-locks, which had also been stolen. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said his wife had purchased the property during his absence from home at the tea-warehouse where he was em ployed. He could not say whether the sellers had come honestly by the goods or not. Mr. BALLANTINE said the defendant had made the same defence when he was convicted for having stolen lead in his possession last December, and he then warned him not to purchase such suspicious property again. A greater nuisance than these "marine store dealers" did not exist. The worthy Magi-tare, after stating that if the defendant was again brought before him, he should send him to the tread-mill, convicted him in the penalty of .51. for unlawful possession of the goods, which were de clared to be forfeited. narn Y e e d st i e t d, a r, tal U l, N th i i ° n, N c - a li da li ve L rots-lo o ki ng morta l , was brought up at the instance of faonreatirmusekeeper, for ref us i ng to sett l e h i s bill &c. Thedinner, complainant stated, that Flunder walked into his shop the preceding day, and took his seat in one of the boxes there, near the door. He said that he had been a Jong walk, that his appetite was keen, and that he should commence his dinner with a plate of roast pork, vegetables, and bread. He very quickly despatched the first course, and a hot boiled leg of mutton being just taken out of the pot, he had three plates full, besides a proportion of bread and vegetables, all of which he soon demo lished, and had called the waiter to order another cut, when he was told that other customers wanted a slice off the joint besides him. He affected to be much displeased at the refusal of being served again with mutton, and extiressed his intention of imme d.:,,t•' Lie was about to walk ' a .-.o c.Liere to ~,,,,_„,r _ a -_, L caw nto &,...- a %VFW Without • appetites of three ordinary men, but was sediVi/ZZ by the waiter, and he then candidly confessed that he had no money. Under these circumstances, the complainant gave him into custody. The defen dant, when before the magistrate, said that he had and tl l la v t h i e t n w o a s s k i e m d po w ss h i 3 b . le he to e d n r t a e t r % e - d blo t o h d e stone.f r r w om mo a ney shop to devour another man's meat without money to pay for it, his excuse was, that hunger was known to break through stone walls befote now, and that in passing this eating-house, and seeing a beautiful roast leg of pork smoking hot in the win dow, he could not resist the temptation of entering the house, and having a cut, if it cost him his life. He added, that had he the money, it would give him much pleasure to pay for the " little refresh ment" he had taken at the complainant's expense. Magistrate—Little refreshment, did you call it; why you eat with a voracity that could scarcely be equalled by Hand°, the man celebrated for au enormous appetite. Had you been content with a reasonable quantity, instead of devouring in the manner you did, some allowance might be made. Complainant—Really, your worship, he would have devoured the whole joint of mutton, it is my belief, if he had not been calltd on to pay after he had finished the four plates. The Magistrate said, that he had no power to punish the defendant, and that the eating•house keeper should have used due caution, and made him pay for each plate of meat as he had it, or not served him. The Magistrate then asked Flunder if he could raise the money if the complainant sent his waiter with him ?—Flunder said there was no use in fu; titer deception on his part, for he had not " a feather to fly with," and could not raise a shil ling. lie said that he made out a livelihood by writing petitions and letters for those who required his services, but that all pursuits of that description had become so unprofitable of late, that he could not exist by his writings, and was compelled often to ger a dinner at other people's expense, or else go viithout. He was liberated, after an admonition from the Magistrate. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. ATTEMPT OF RUSSELL TO ESCAPE.-011 Monday week, Russell, who had been convicted at Hunting ingdon of having administered poison to his servant, was dis_ covered to have been making an attempt to break out of gaol; a short spike was missing from the chevaux de frize on the top of the fence at the end of the airing yard, and one of the strong iron bars of the fence was loosened, which if loosened would admit a person to the boundary wall. Strict search was made for the spike, which was found secreted in the earth. The offence was soon traced to Russell, who was ordered to be put in irons for security. It appears that Russell had pre viously asked two mess confined with him, to assist in his escape. — Bory Herald. was for l f l ors ?

Imethod L s a o r s a i n ri c g , ! , l ; ca*: C yclop‘rdia,VQL XXV', (From the Times.) PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING, Apart 17. The worthy Parisians are yet too much taken up with the sanatory state of their capital to be capable of bestowing much thought on anything else. Ac cording to this day's report of the Central Commis. sion of Health, a decided amelioration in the cha racter and progress of the disease has taken place within the last three days. The accuracy of this report is questioned by many, whose doubts have probably no better cause than their fears. Others, more worthy of being attended to, place a full re liance in the official statement. For a great length of time a cold and dry piercing wind has been blowing with singular obstinacy from the east and north-east, which has had the peculiar effect of im pairing the digestive powers of many persons who were previously in the enjoyment of the best health, while it has proved seriously injurious, and generally fatal, among the weak and sickly. There is now great reason to believe that this wind has been one of the chief causes of the malignity which the cholera so soon acquired in this capital. 'Within the last three or four days the wind has shifted in a trifling degree, and the change has brought us that mildness of temperature and serenity of atmo sphere, which is so usual in this climate, during the present time of the year. To the influence of this change, the favourable turn of the cholera may be safely attributed; and if the enemy does not return from his eastern quarter, we may hope for a very rapid amelioration. Up to the present moment, the accounts of M C. Perier's health are quite favourable;—that is, he is out of danger, and getting better every day; but he has not quitted his bed, much less has he been engaged in transacting public business, as some papers have stated. His medical advisers will not yet suffer him to do any thing of the kind. As for General Sebastiani, his friends begin to despair of his ability to resume his official duties, but he will be retained in office so long as M. C. Perier is really or nominally at the head of the Administration, be. cause of the President's decided aversion to any change whatever in his Ministry, from a notion of his own, that a single material taken out of the po litical edifice of his own construction, might prove destructive to the whole. The plain meaning of this is, that M. C. Perier exercises an ext e nt of power and influence over the minds of his colleagues in the Cabinet, which he is unwilling in any degree to risk the loss of, by the introduction of any new member whose temper may not turn out as docile as might be wished. For the last two or three days, we have had seve ral contradictory rumours respecting Algiers, and it is easy to judge from the temper with which the subject is discussed, that the evacuation of the place would be strongly condemned by the national voice. The Duke de Rovigo, who, when on the point of departure for Algiers, had made up his mind to some years' stay there, now thinks that his return will soon take place, and no one here doubts that the question of giving up Algiers to the Turkish Sultan is under discussion. Such a cession, if it finally take place, ought to be deplored, for the Sultan is not powerful enough to consolidate his authority at so distant a spot, and Algiers would once more be come a nest of pirates under some rebel Pacha, or desperate adventurer. You will perceive that the news relating to the second reading of the English Reform Bill, which Was received yesterday, has made a smaller impres sion at the Bourse than a mere rumour to that ef the committal o► nee ~..... Prince Caste'cicala, the Neapolitan Ambassador, and the Doyen of the corps di plonzatique in Paris, died yesterday after a few days' illness. The poli tical history of the Prince was so well known that it became a twitter of general surprise that he should be confirmed in his post here, after the re volution of 1830. His re-appointment was chiefly owing to an intimacy which had long subsisted be twern the Duchess of Oilcans (now Queen) and the Princess, his wife. The Prince was upwards of 80 years old, and very fond of over indulging in the pleasures of the table. This brought on a dis ease in his digestive organs, the symptoms of which acquired a similarity with those of cholera. His wasted frame could not withstand the effects of the disorder. tent or resistanee sm .- to be feared from the Poles, that the latter was induced to incor porate Poland with the Russian empire, allowinz I her only a separate administration. Open resistanso 1 is, however, not to b e expected; but the Russians ishould avoid increasing a disaffection which fre quently only proves fatal to like who despises ir e What a whole nation driven to despair may do, we have more than once had occasion to witness. Mar shal Paskewitsch is probably aware of this, and feels 1 1 1 his responsibility. It is asserted that he has issued fresh orders to the army, and doubled his preci M ; tionary measures on all sides. In the tneanwhi/d distress is very great in Poland, and is daily increaF jug, as there is a complete stagnation of all business. Provisions are exceedingly scarce, and if the Government should not supply the country with importations from abroad and the old Russian pre viaces, distress will increase still more, and lead to new calamities, by driving the people to decperate excesses." The same Paper also communicates a letter from Moravia, dated April 2, stating that the French Ambassador, Marshal Maison, who had been obliged to suspend the departure of the Po lish officers for France, as his funds were exhausted, now again gives passports to all such Polish officers in Austria as are not included in the Russian aril ' nesty. The number of officers who wish to pro= ceed to France is estimated at from 250 to 300.

I have this moment been informed that a decision has taken place to-day, that henceforward, or so long as the cholera prevails in the capital, all burials are to be performed at night. This measure has been deemed necessary in consequence of the increase of alarm which the frequency of funerals was sure to create among the inhabitants of the streets through which they had to pass. Z. Lxtract of a letter from Lisbon, dated the 3lst ult. :-" The forced loan of Don Miguel has had no success whatever. Thirteen merchants of the first houses in Portugal, who had refused to subscribe voluntarily, have been summoned before the com mercial junta, to be made acquainted with a decree against them on their refusal. Those who had titles or decorations have been stripped of them by a simple ministerial ordinance. Others have been con demned to pay a double contingent. The rich Baron Quincella, who had been, like some others, condemned to the loss of his titles, and the payment of 48 contos, instead of 24 contos of refs (11,5201.) on leaving the junta embarked for En land, after having taken the necessary preutions for secor;n his fortu ne , Hi s town residence has be en let to theg French Consul, and kim country-house to the English Consul, to preserve them from being plundered by the friends of Don Miguel." Letters from Napoli, dated the 9th ult., state that Admirals Hotham, Ricord, anti Hugon, have published a proclamation, in which they stare, that in compliance with the protocol of the three Powers of the 7th of January, they hold themselves pre pared, if necessary, to enforce'obedienc e to the Pro visional Government created by the Assembly at Argo; and then established at Napoli. At the same time, however, they express their hope that the amnesty offered by that Government will pro duce its intended effect, and that the Primates of Hydra, and the united Chiefs of continental Greece, will not hesitate to lay down their arms, and submit themselves to the Government. On the other hand, the opposition Government established at Megara has issued a decree, by which Augustin Capo d'lstrias is accused of falsifyin g the elections by fraud and violence, and declared to be the prin cipal fomenter of civil war, arid the usurper of the supreme power; in consequence of which, all the civil and military authorities are called upon to assist in procuring his arrest and trial by the proper tribunals FRENCH FUNDR, APRIL 1 6.-Five per Cents., 97f., sc. 10e. sc. 97f.

WILLIAMS The facts of this case were as follow :—Plaintiffs, who were officers in the Guards, and intimate friends, had been in the habit of employing defen dant to negotiate bills of accommodation for them. About two years since, Captain Codrington drew two bills, one for 1,0001., and another for 350/., which were accepted by defendant, and endorsed by Mr. Nesbitt. These were placed in the hands of defendant, that he might, for a certain considera tion (1001.), get them discounted; or, failing that, return them within a reasonable time. The bills were neither discounted nor returned. In Novem ber, 1830, plaintiff's attorney called on defendant at his residence in Totteridge, Hertfordshire, and demanded them. Defendant said they had been discounted, that he had received the whole 1,0004, and about 140/. or 150/. out of the 350/. bill, but he refused to give the money, on the ground that there were other bills in circulation, and that he did not know whether there would be any provision for them. The 1,000/. bill was, however, restored by defendant since the commencement of- the present action, but Captain Codrington was arrested within the last fortnight on the other. Mr. Nesbitt is now dead, and the only plaintiff consequently is Captain Codrington, but the pre sent action was understood to have been brought by his father, Sir Bethel Codrington, of nodding ton-park, Gloucestershire. Mr. PLATT for the defendant, contended he was justified in retaining the bills, as the acceptor was liable in the first place for their amount. The Jury immediately brought in a verdict for he plaintiff.-.. 1501. INSOLVENT COURT, APRIL 18. A lady, described in the cause list as Augusta Elizabeth Lady Hawke, was opposed by Mr. Comm, on the part of Messrs. Wood, cabinet makers, arid other creditors, arid supported by Messrs. BARRY and WOODROFFE: Messrs. Wood, in March, 1828, received an order from the in solvent to furnish her drawing-room in Sovereign_ street. The order was executed, Lady Hawke agreeing to pay by instalments. Mr. Peter Wood at the time supposed she received an annuity from the property of the late Lord Hawke (this appears not to have been the case), and also annuities from other persons. In March, 1829, Lady Hawke sold her furniture, which was publicly advertised, and the creditors apprised of her intention previous to the sale. She had at various times paid Messrs. Wood 2001. of their account, which amounted to 343/. Part of the proceeds of the sale had been applied to the payment of other creditors. It seems her ladyship is in the enjoyment of annuities of 300/. a-year. She has been in prison or in the rules of the King's Bench for about a year and a half, and petitioned the Court in November•, 1830, but subsequently declined to appear. Her debts amount to 987/. Mr. COOKE observed that the creditors had no vindictive feeling against the insolvent, and if she would agree to give up 100/. of her annuities, he would withdraw his opposition to her discharge. The COURT would advise Mr. Barry to consult with his client on the proposition made by Mr. Cooke, as the result of their decision might probably be very contrary to her wishes. The case was ultimately directed to stand over for a fortnight. tiny Tr , l, TNYTT.I MANSION-HO USE. Robert Griffiths was brought before Mr. Alder man KELLY, yesterday, charged with having stolen a quantity of brass wire from his master, Mr. Wm. Curtis, wire-merchant, 23, Miles-lane, Can non-street. Mr. Curtis stated that the prisoner was in his employ, and also worked for Mr. Matthews, at No. 9, Miles-lane. On Tuesday last he was in com pany with a friend, when he observed the prisoner about to proceed home from his work. As he looked more than usually stout about the body wit ness mentioned his suspicions to his friend that the prisoner had robbed him, upon which his friend offered to follow and ascertain if such were the fact. Witness also followed secretly for some distance, when the prisoner made a stop, as if to satisfy him self whether he was watched or no, and, upon wit ness's friend passing him, he looked so confused that witness came forward and taxed him with hav ing some of his property concealed about his person. The prisoner denied this; but witness, on opening his vest, found a ring of brass wire, and ultimately took from his hat, coat, trousers, and various parts of his person, upwards of 30;bs. weight of wire. Witness immediately bad the prisoner conveyed to this office, and, on proceeding to inspect the stock at his warehouse, he became convinced the prisoner had for sometime been in the practice of robbing him. In a cistern he found another quantity of wire, placed there, without doubt, till another op• portunity for removal occurred, and a portion of the wire taken from the p:rson of the prisoner ap peared to have been recently immersed in water. The prisoner said it was his first offence, and, as the evidence was quite clear, lie was fully committed. Mr. Myers, hat-manufacturer, 11, Houndsditch, appeared to a summons for permitting an obstruction on the footpath, and also for assaulting a young lad. The first summons was dismissed upon Mr. Myers stating that the obstruction was removed, and pay ing the expenses. The assault, as described by the complainant, a pert lad, arose out of the circumstance of his mas ter's name also being Myers, who kept a " tater varehus" in Cutler -street, and who opened letters directed to Mr. Myers, of Houndsditch. The evidence of the boy fully proved that he had richly deserved the " shaking" he said he had got from the defendant, but which, on the defendant's part, was denied. _ The Alderman dismissed the summons, telling he complainant he might, if he pleased, indict at he Sessions. A young woman, representing herself as the nearest relative of a deceased soldier, to whom a sum of I Is. was due from Messrs. Cox and Greenwood, the army agents, presented herself before Mr. Alder man KELLY for the purpose of swearing to the usual certificate. The form requires that the resident clergyman shall certify as to the identity of an ap plicant, and that he or she is " justly entitled" to the amount claimed ; or, in case of need, the certi ficate may be signed by a magist rate . T he parish where the applicant resided not being h onoure d with a resident clergyman , and being unable to find out the rector's address, the female applied for the signature of the sitting Alderman. This, of c ourse , could not be granted consistently with the terms of the certificate, and the poor girl was compelled to retire, in order, if possible, to discover the residence of the non-resident rector.

Yesterday a middle aged man, of respectable ap pearance, named Henry Gulstone, was brought be fore Mr. Alderman BROWN, charged with feloni ously embezzling the proceeds of a bill of exchange which had been intrusted to him, as an agent, to get discounted.

Mr. ROE ordered the defendant to pay a fine of 40s. and costs. LAMBE T 8- S TREE T.
