SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We call the attention of our readers to a report in another column of the proceedings of a: Meeting of the 7nishioners of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, held last night. They are of a most important character. It is well known to all who bestow any attention on such matters, that houses have fallen greatly in value in the metropolis, and most other towns, of late years. -ops, which could not have been obtained a f_. -v years ago for 3001. a year, will not now let for half that amount. It seems strange that a ps-iod of such depreciation of property should be chosen for raising the valuation on which householders are rated to the assessed taxes. Complaints having been made by the inhabit ants of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, of the ine quality of the rating, steps were taken for reme dying this evil, and a more just scale of rates was adopted. But this did not satisfy the Crown Surveyor, who immediately set about surcharging the inhabitants. The Resolutions agreed to by the Meeting state, " that the numerous sur charges made upon the inhabitants of the parish by the Surveyor of the Assessed Taxes, after a fair and equitable assessment had been made by the local assessors, was vexatious and unjust — that it was notorious that house property had, within the last few years, greatly deteriorated in value, and, as a proof, a reduction was taking place in the rental of from 20 to 30 per cent. ; that it was the opinion of the Meeting that it was to be lamented, that, after a lapse of seven teen years since the termination of the war, taxes, avowedly imposed for the purpose of car rying on that war, should not only be still con tinued, but that servants of the Crown should be allowed to increase the hurthens of the house holders, by surcharges like those lately made on the parish." It was stated by Mr. Charlwood that the surcharges contemplated by the Crown Surveyor would produce a surplus tax of at least a thousand a year to the Government. But what demands particular notice in these Resolu tions is, that the inhabitants are recommended not to pay the house duty until the result of an appli cation by Memorial to the Lords of the Treasury, praying relief from the imposition, be known. Mr. Yockney contended that the surcharge should be resisted instanter. The former Vestry Clerk, Mr. Roche, observed, that " the object of the meet-. ing was nothing mo e nor less than an attempt to repeal an Act of Parliament." These strong resolutions, recommending the refusal to pay taxes, were adopted unanimously at this large and numerous meeting of a metropolitan parish. The bow may be at length too much bent. The patience of the inhabitants of the metropolitan parishes is at length fairly exhausted by the op pressive exactions to which they are in particular subject. If the Assessed Taxes were fairly raised throughout the country, the inhabitants of the metropolis might be less impatient. But they know that the Aristocracy throughout the country contrive to evade the House Tax, in the most shameless manner. A poor, pale faced mechanic, who, by the utmost assiduity, is hardly able to keep the wolf from the door, is doomed to hear that Noblemen of 20,0001. a year, having houses raised at an expense of 2 or 300,000/., do not pay more assessed taxes than himself. The Marquis of Westminster is not, we believe, rated at more than 200/. for his sumptuous palace of Eaton, the building of which cost some 4 or 500,000/. This evil has been pointed out again and again ; but still the gentry of the country refuse to pay their share of the burden. Would it be believed, that there are very few of the mansions of the nobility and gentry throu g hout England rated at more than SO/. a yea r? What has provoked the parish ioners of Covent-garden is, the attempt, under these circumstances, to raise their taxation. We observe that great complaints are made by the parishioners as to the indifference of their Re presentatives to their complaints ; and they seem disposed in future to dispense with their assist ance. 'Where combustibles exist in such abund anae, there needs but a spark to produce a con flagration. The people should not be harassed at this time by surcharges.—Morning Chron. The note of General Goblet, the present Minister of Foreign Affairs for Belgium. (received through the French Papers of Tuesday,) calling upon the French Court to fulfil its engagements towards the rlgic Government, and the article in the demi- Oficial paper, the Journal des Debate, annonncing the determination of the French Cabinet to perform the stipulations of the treaty to which General Goblet refers, show the expectation which the for mer party entertained, and the resolution which the Wier had formed before the signature of the London Convention of Monday last. A similar, if not an identical note, must have been addressed to the English Government, and a similar reply only could be returned. " The time (says General Goblet on the sth instant) has ar rived to carry into execution a treaty invested, five months ago, with the common sanction of the five Courts, the non. fulfilment of which exposes the peace of Europe to increasing and continual danger. Since the last refusal of the Dutch Go. vernment, there is no other means to accomplish this result hut the employment of material force; for it cannot be sup posed that the Powers will allow an indefinite postponement, which would be highly injurious to the public order of Europe, and that, after laborious negotiation for two years, a treaty, Selemnly ratified, should remain without being executed." The French Ministerial Journal does riot antici pate opposition in the three absolute Powers of the Conference to the enforcement of their own award Hy arms, should Holland still continue deaf to peace lfi remsentations; but should "one" of them do e it 3,01 not prevent an attempt on the part of France anti p 9g land to settle a question which em barrasses the present relations, and endangers the itsistre security, of Europe. Is it conceivable that any party should desire a longer delay to intervene between the signature of an impor ant treaty — which cap alone afford a guarantee of general peace --:and the employment of necessary means of exe cution ? Was it not to be dreaded, at the com mencement, that the revolution in Belgium would lead to a general war, and were not the mo,t stre nuous exertions made to bring about such a speedy settlement as would prevent that issue ? Fur what other purpose was a conference of the five Powers es tablished in London in the beginning of November, 1830? Ir wag as well known than as now thut the absolute Sov reigns of Europe detested the Belgic revolt—that they desired to adhere to that com bination with'respect to the Netherlands, which they had sanctioned almost on the field of battle in 1815,—and that, had they been able without a revolutionary conflict to reunite the two sets of prc vinces, which 15 years' connection had not amalga• mated, they would again have proclaimed the omened bans. The umpires were friendly to H, land fiom the beginning, as they are now. His Dutch Majesty was called by the Duke of Welling ton in the King of England's Speech, November 3, 1830, " an enlightened Sovereign," and the Bel gians were styled his " revolted subjects,' but no insane deign was ever nytnifested to restore Bel gium to the House of Nassau by force of arms. The object of the subsequent - c inferenct-s was not a plan of reunion, but a project of a separation; and so friendly were the Five Powers to Holland, that the pelii , Ans,rejected their award with indign ation, and-`threatened rather to become a province of /France ;thap to, accept of independence on such Ldneroos conditions. The spring and the summer (.. , of .1831 were consumed in anxious and painful 'negotiations to tiring about an . arrangement sa- Ciiilitery-;.to : both parties, and from the desire ..\.=...:N., ,, L..-. - , ...:- __ ~ ... . of the Five Powers to consult the wishes, and respect even the prejudices of an ancient ally, the Dutch Plenipotentiary was admitted to au diences when the Belgian Envoy was kept at the door. In June or July the treaty of the "18 Ar ticles," which the Belgians long resisted, was ac cepted by the Belgic Regency ; and in consequence of its acceptance, the Prince of Saxe Coburg, now King Leopold, consented to become Sovereign of Belgium. On this occasion his Royal Highness was pressed by the Plenipotentiaries of all the Powers of the Conference to undertake a task which they regarded as important to the general peace. The ambitious susceptibility of the House of Nassau was wounded by the popularity of the new King—an expedition long preparing invaded Belgium, totally unprepared, in the beginning of August—the in vaders were expelled by a French army—and so eager were the Allies to prevent the repetition of such a collision, and to effect a speedy final settle ment of differences, that Dutch and Belgic Pleni potentiaries were invited immediately to the British metropolis, to treat with the London Conference on the terms of independence and peace. The result of these transactions was the treaty of November 15, 1831, or of " the 20 Articles," agreed to by all the Members of the Conference—accepted reluc tantly by the Belgic Chambers, as injurious to their interests and offensive to their dignity—ratified with out modifications by England and France—rati fied, likewise, with some slight changes, by the three other Powers of the Congress,—and posi tively rejected by the King of Holland,—after 11 months' protocols,—after numerous special mis sions,—after the transmission of voluminous de spatches,—after legislative discussions,—and after the perfect exhaustion of every reason, pretext, or argument which the press could supply. It cannot, therefore, be alleged that the subject has not been sufficiently discussed,—that the members of the Confereuce have shown any undue bias against Holland, which further deliberation would remove, —or that Belgium, in calling for the execution of the treaty to which they have all agreed, and in de siling to free herself from the enormous expenses of a military establishment, which entails upon her all the burdens without the glory of a war, has acted with violence or precipitation. It is absurd to say that in enforcing a treaty, agreed to by the stanchest friends of his Dutch Majesty, and believed by ourselves to be just and necessary, we are acting in hostility to Holland or to Dutch interests. It is worse than absurd, it is calumnious to insi nuate that the British people, or British Govern ment, act from any selfish or interested motive in enjoining on " our ancient ally" a regard to modera tion, and the abandonment of an ambition which cau only result in general mischief and cslarnity. It is childish to imagine that an obstinate old Monarch, who tasted the pleasures of reigning for 15 years over 7,000,000 of people,—who exalts high his prero gative, and still talks of his " rebel subjects" in ho has been stung to the quick by their alleged ingratitude,—and who, from the success of a recent inroad, entertains the hope of an ultimate reconquest,—will ever surrender the half of his crown, except at the display of superior force. Let the factit,us anti-reforming Tories, who have no more regard for a Dutchman than for a New Zealander, — except in so far as the former agrees with them in hostility to their own Government, and in endeavours to throtv out the present Ministers,—tell us what they would propose to be done in place of the policy which they condemn. Would they allow the treaty agreed to by their Holy Alliance friends, as well as by us, to lie a dead letter, or would they, by per. milting a second invasion of Belgium by the Dutch, afford the French a pretext (which the French movement party only want) to enter Brussels a second time, to send King Leopold to Claremont, and to form the Belgic provinces into the former nine departments of the Gallic kingdom ? If they would not go so far in endangering the immediate conquest of Belgiutn by the French, would they agree to the closing of the Scheldt,—a stipulation not only opposed to every principle of the new code of international law with respect to such rivers, but calculated to cripple our own com merce with Belgium and Germany, and eventually to bring on troubles in the new state destructive , of any peace settlement so modified ? Can any enemy of precipitate counsels allege that the French and English Governments have been too hasty in preparing to execute the treaty of Novem ber last year, or would any of these friends of deli beration propose another three or four months' con ferences in Downing-street ? Our advice, there fore, is to adopt prompt and decisive measures, not only as the most efficient, but the most merciful. The King of Holland, seeing arrayed against him the forces of two such powerful nations to com pel the execution of a European award, cannot be so mad as to offer any protracted resistance. He must be aware that the fist shot fired from the vita. del of Antwerp upon that inoffensive city will can cel all the previous arrangements between him and his rival regarding debt and territory, and that it will henceforward depend upon the generosity of the All es whether he receives a single florin from Bel gium for his Dutch creditors, or a single acre of the province of Limburg beyond what Holland pos sessed in 1790. We learn that there is a rumour of a fresh overture, and of a pacific nature, from the Hague, at the suggestion of Prussia. If such over tures have arrived, they can only be regarded as a new trick to gain time. The only overture of peace that can be listened to must enclose an order to eva cuate the citadel of Antwerp.—Times. " Records of my Life," by the late JOHN TAYLOR, Esq., in 2 vols., and the new work of fiction, entitled, " Our Island," in 3 vols., we are requested to state were published this day by Mr. BULL, Holles-street, Cavendish Square. Agents for Scotland, Messrs. BELL and BRADFUTE, Edinburgh ; and for Ireland, Mr. Joini CummlNG, Dublin. LOVE AND SUICIDE.—On Wednesday an in quest was held at the London Hospital on the body of RACHAEL TORRES, a young Jewess, aged nineteen. The deceased, who was a handsome and we:l-behaved young woman, lived for some time in the service of Mr. SAMU ELs, an umbrella manufacturer in Gulston-street, White chapel, where she was visited by a respectable young man of her own persuasion. The family of the lover, however, were averse to the connection, and he told her that her style of dress was not sufficiently respectable to phase his friend. This operated on her spirits, and she became so careless of her duties as a servant, that her mistress cave her warning to leave. On Tuesday evening her lover called and drank tea with her. Her manner was then very incoherent, and she asked him and others whe ther they would go into mourning and give her a decent funeral if she died. About twelve at night the family were awoke by her groans, and on going to her bed she confessed she had taken arsenic, from the effects of which she died on the billowing day. Verdict—lnsanity. On Monday last, Mr. ROBERT WILLSON, only son of ROBERT SVILT.soN, Eq., of Bedford, met his death in the following dreadful manner :—The unfortunate youth, who was in his 19th year, was on a visit at Misley hall, near Hertford, the seat of his uncle, GEORGE Fla mm, E.q. Immediately after breakfast on Monday morn ing, he left his uncle's house, with a brace of pointers and a large retriever, of the setter and Newfoundland breed, for the purpose of shooting. Scarcely half an hour had elapsed when the domestics were somewhat surprised at seeing the latter animal return into the yard by itself. Little notice was taken of the circumstance at the mo ment: alarm was, however, eventually excited by the con tinued whining of the dog, which actually pulled several of the servants by the clothes to induce them to follow him. On the fact being made known to Mr. FIRMIN, he determined to fallow the dog, fearing, from its well known sagacity, that some accident had oocuried. He had scarcely proceeded a quarter of a mile from his house, when he was horror-struck at beholding the lifeless body of his unfortunate nephew hanging over a high hurdle fence which skirts a small wood. From the position in which the body was found, it appears tie deceased had rested his double-barrelled gun against the bank, on the top of which the fence is placed, and having succeeded in climb ing over himself, was in the act of l ean i ng over t o d raw the gun after him, when it is supposed something caught the trigger, and the gun went off, literally,bl ow i n g away the right side of his head : The unfortunate you ng gen tleman was of a most amiable disposition, and deservedly beloved by all who knew him. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Five o'clock. RIOTS AT BRISTOL. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Mr. Daniel Thomas M'Carthy's examination continued from our Third page. Asked them what they were going to do, they said they were going to Bridewell to release the prisoners. They were going in that direction. In going to the Exchange and Bridewell they would pass the Council-house and Guildhall. Witness, when he heard the mob were going to Bridewell, went to his own house by a different way. Got there before the mob. When the mob came, the gate next Bridewell-lane was wholly open, as it generally was in the middle of the day. Witness saw the attack on Bridewell. One of the mob knocked at the Governor's door, and shortly afterwards another person came from the top of the house. There was then a general rush. The Governor repulsed them in the first place, and got the gates partly shut. The Bridge-end gate had been shut in the meantime. The mob overpowered the Governor and forced the gates open. Witness then went round to his own premises, the back part of which runs behind Bridewell. Witness got on the roof of Bridewell, and called for Mr. Evans, the Governor, who made his escape, together with Mrs. Evans, through a window, to witness's house. Begged of witness to go and state the case to the Magistrates. Witness went in search of them, first to the Guildhall, but could not get in either at the front or side door, the latter place was padlocked. Afterwards went to the Council-house, and could not get admission there. Met Mr. Leraell in Crown-street, who took witness by the arm, and inquired from some persons where the Magi• strates were, and were told in the Guildhall Chambers, where witness was repulsed at first, but afterwards ad mitted, in consequence of the prompt conduct of Mr. Lunde, who insisted upon seeing the Magistrates. Mr. Alderman Daniels was there acting as Cnairtnan, Alder men Hillhouse and Thripp were there also, together with the Town-clerk. Several other persons were there. Mr. Johnson, among the rest, who was a solicitor of Bristol. Delivered the message from the Governor of Bridewell, stating that Bridewell was attacked, the prisoners released, and the mob were going to burn the place to the ground, and requested the assistance of the Magistrates. By Mr. Justice J. PARKE—Did not see the Mayor there. By Mr•. WIGHTMAN-Stated that 20 men would be sufficient with 10 soldiers, and if the Magistrates would give witness orders, he would go to Queen's-square for them. No reply was made to the request at first. Wit ness requested that the Magistrates would not delay, as in a short time the place would be in flames. Some person at last said, " They have released the prisoners, well, they will do nothing else. Mr Johnson pressed upon the Ma gistrates the necessity of being allowed to use fire-arms. Mr. Sergeant Ludlow stated that every man was justified in using fire-arms in his own defence. At this moment Humphries, the gaoler, came and said the prison bad been attacked, and wished to know whether be was to defend the prison or release the prisoners. Mr. Alderman Hillhouse stated he was to use his own discretion, as the Magistrates would give him no directions. Witness ex pressed his readiness to do all be could, as well as Mr. Johnson, if they would allow them the use of fire-arms. Mr. Alderman Savage, or LOA, said if any other Magis trate would go with them, they would go down to the prison ; this was agreed to; but Mr. Routh stated that if arms were not used he would not go. Witness then went to the prison, accompanied by Mr. Alderman Hillhouse and Savage. Was obliged to retreat, and witness went to the square for the soldiers to assist the Magistrates. Went to Guildhall afterwards, where he saw the brother of Mr. Alderman Hillhouse, and communicated what had taken place. By Sir J. SCARLETT-Found only five soldiers in the Square, who refused to accompany witness unless they had orders. The Rev. Thomas Roberts, examined by the ATTORNEY GENERAL—Is Minister of a baptist congregation at Bris tol. On Sunday, the 30th of October, received a notice which was handed to him just before the close of the morning service, from the Mayor, which was read to the congregation ; the purport of which was, to request the attendance of the citizens immediately at Guildhall, to adopt measures to secure the peace of the city. Witness went immediately after service to the Guild hall, and gained admission to the Magistrates by the private door. The Mayor, several Magistrates, and the Town-clerk, were present. The Mayor presided. Two military men were in attendance, who left the room nearly as soon as witness entered. Addressed the Mayor, stating that he had something to propose for his consideration and that of the Magistrates; that he knew a great many of the lower orders, and, if he pleased, witness would go down to the square, and see if he could not prevail on the mob to retire. The Mayor made the proposal to the other Magistrates. Witness, in consequence of being requested, retired into the adjacent passage, in which were a great number of the respectable inhabitants of Bristol. On being reca led to the room, the Mayor said the Magistrates had accepted his offer. Witness then said that he thought it was not a trifling thing to face an infuriated mob alone, and requested one or two persons to accompany him. The Mayor went out of the room on the landing-place, where many persons were, and said he hoped there would be found some who would go with him. Mr. Trothorn, the ex. Sheriff, Mr. Watt of the Navy, and Mr. Samuel Waring, accompanied him. Found the Mansion-house in a very delapidated state, the windows broken. A very large mob was near it, and also the Dragoon Guards. The moh appeared to be divided into two classes, one extremely riotous and drunk, the other, though of the same grade in society, appeared to be laughing and enjoying the at tack which had been made by the other pariy. Asked the military officer to make way fur witness, in order that he might if possible address the mob. The officer refused to do so, saying he thought it useless, the mob were perfectly harmless, and on the best terms with the military. Witness then entered a house near, but found it impossible to address the mob, in consequence of the noise and disturbance. Witness was at the first-floor window for nearly an hour, and was unmolested. At this time the mob had nearly all departed to Bridewell. Witness returned to the Guildhall, where he found the Mayor and other Aldermen. Mr. John Lemell accompa nied witness there. Stated to the Magistrates what he had seen in the square, and what the officer had said. Witness stated that he considered the nioh to be chiefly composNi of navigators. Witness was asked what he thought was necessary to be done, and stated, that if mi litary were employed to prevent any ingress or egress in the square, no more injury would ensue, and all prisoners that were taken might be brought into the squ4re.. Mr. Alderman George did not think this judicious advice, as the mob would be driven on the quay, where they would put out the gas lights, and probably set fire to the shipping. The plan was ultimately rejected. He said that if they attempted to fire the shipping, they would the more easily be driven into the river. Saw the Town-clerk present during . both occasions ; he complained of nothiug 'Laving been dune, and that too much time was spent in deliberation. Left Guildhall in about 10 miuutes, and went to the Bridewell, which he hail been informed was on fire; he found it was so; he then went home. Cross-examined by Sir JAMES Scatmarr. Did not hear a word that passed between the officers who were present with the. Magistrates when he went to the Mansion-house. He intended to have used his o n personal influence with the mob, and not stated that he was there by the desire of the Magistrates. Was strongly impressed with the apathy that was exhi bited by the respectable inhabitants while such danger was staring them in the face, but he hid no opportunity of seeing whether the military supported the Magis trates or not. He had since came to the conclusion that the advice he gave to the Magistrates would not have been carried into effect, for then he was not aware that the 14th Dragoons had been sent out of the city. Alter he had been about an hour in the square, a great part of the mob went away, crying out "13ridewell, Bridewell." All those who had been active at the Mansion house went away. The mob was extremely dense when be went to the Bride well, so much so that he was obliged to return. Though the mob was so dense, he was of opinion that a stout po lice force would easily have routed them, for they were in such a small space that they could not act well, besides there were a great many people present who were nut riotous. Bristol was very full of ships at that time. Mr. Isaac Cook examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL. Was a solicitor in Bristol. Was in Queen-square about 8 o'clock on Saturday, the 29th of October, last year. Retnained an hour, and then the crowd was very quiet, and he could pass easily through it without mo lestation. Heard of the meeting to he held on the Sunday at half-past three o'clock, at which the Magistrates requested the inhabitants, presence. Went to it in company tvith his son and one or two more gen tlemen. He was there first, but was soon joined by two of the Magistrates and , some other gentl emen. Th e Mayor joined them i tf a few minutes, and took the chair. He regretted that be had been obliged to call his fellow. citizens together on such an occasion, but the mob had been in possession of the city for a considerable time, and some steps must he taken to put a stop to their pro- ceedings. Witness asked what plan the Mayor had to propose?.—be said he had none. Witness said it was most singular that the Chief Magistrate should have al lowed them to go on so long, and even when he called the citizens together, that he bad no plan of ope rations to submit to them. Mr. Sergeant Ludlow then rose and said, with your permission I will answer Mr. Cook. He then said that every person must act on his own discretion and his own individual liability. This excited considerable surprise, and he said to those around him, there seems to be no other mode than that we must go out and see what we can do. They concurred with him, and he said to the Mayor, if he would allow eight or ten of the military to go with them, they would go out and try to get rid of the mob, Tne Mayor replied that he had no power over the military. Witness then asked, who then had such power ?—he replied, the military Commander, of course. Witness then asked whether he was present. The Mayor said he was not. Witness then expressed his surprise that he had not been summoned to such a meeting. The Mayor said lie would immediately send for Colonel Brereton. He did so. and on his arrival he was taken into a private room with the Magistrates. They waited a quarter of an hour, when the Colonel came one, and said the men were too tired, and could not go. Witness then said, " I see the city is given up to destruction." During the whole time no plan was proposed, nor directions given by the Mayor. Be lieved there might have been a succession of persons pre sent during the time to the amount of 200. Saw no disposition on their part to withhold assistance from the Magistrates, but quite the reverse. Some of the best men in the city were present. Great dissatisfaction was expressed by many gentlemen present that the Magistrates did not take some steps to protect the peace of the city. The adjournment was to take place to the Council House instantly. They then went in a large body to the Council House ; he saw so Magistrate there whatever. He re mained there about an hour ; during that time the stairs and avenues were filled with gentlemen, and there was a considerable confusion. Witness got so out of patience by not seeing any thing done, that he and a friend left to go into the city to see if any thing could be done any where. About 11 o'clock on the Sunday evening he went to the Council House again, as it was the ordinary place for the Magistrates to meet. He could not get admission although he rang and knocked for some time. On going away he met some gentlemen who told him the mob were going to burn down the principal banks, one of which was next to witness's counting-house. Witness saw the fires that night, and saw no Magistrates there. Cross-examined by Mr. CAMPBELL—Witness at the interview with the Magistrates made it a condi tion of his serving, that he should have the co-opera tion of the military ; he refused to go out unless eight or ten of the military accompanied him. He knew the necessity of the co-operation of the military, because from his experience on a former occasion, in the year 1800, he knew what a Bristol mob was. The other gentlemen made the same condition. The Mayor said he could not have the military without the consent of Colonel Brereton, who bad said the troops were too fatigued to act. Colonel Brereton was present, but witness could not tell whether be heard the answer of the Mayor. Did not hear the Town-clerk tell Col. Brereton he would report him to the Horse Guards. Henry Quentin examined by Mr. Sergeant COLERIDGE —Was a timber-factor, in Queen-square ; and in October, 1831, was church-warden of St. Nicholas parish. On Sunday, the 30th, he received a notice from the Mayor, and in consequence he consulted with a number of them about coming out to stop the riots.— Afterwards, about two or three o'clock, he saw the Mayor at Guildhall, and told him be could muster from 70 to 100 persons, if they were allowed to carry fire-arms. He said he could not authorize their carrying firearms; for if they shot any person, they ran the risk of being tried for it. He said they were allowed to carry staves. Witness then left the Mayor. Witness was in Queen-square in his own house all that night ; be lived on the east side of the square ; in the course of the following morning, about 5 o'clock, be saw Mr. Alderman Camplin in the square, three hours before the military came. The Alderman was walking about talking to va rious respectable persons. Cross examined by Sir JAMES SCARLITT—When he got the-Mayor's answer, that they might not carry fire arms, he informed the persons whom be could have got, who all refused to go out with staves only. They would have gone if they could have got any of the military ; none of his parishioners in consequence went out. The Court then adjourned until to-morrow morning. S UN-OFFICE, Seven o' Clock.

CURIOUS CHARGE OF ROBBERY. —lsaac Finhlestone, a Polish Jew, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged by Mrs. Rieg, a lodginghouse-keeper for foreigners, with having stolen two sheets and a blanket " off his ready furnished bed." Mrs. Rieg swore that Mr. Finklestone, who inhabited one of her rooms, bad a band prepared to take away any thing that it could get hold of, as a proof of which he had, the last morning he was in her house, prigged a bit of soap out of the basin of one of her other lodgers. Mr. Finklestone, who expressed himself all through the scene in a most furious but eccentric manner, immediately fired at this imputation._ Vot you say ! me steal soap ! vot could Ido vid soap? Look, my Lor (holding out and wringing a pair of hands which bore strong testimony of his innocence), she say I steal soap. Oh vicked, vicked female dog !—(Laughter.) Mrs. Rieg declared that Mr. Finklestone was what she might call a shabby thief, and intimated that nothing could he " too hot or too heavy" for his gripe. Mr. Finklestone—Ah, ha! you call me teef ; vot do I vant to be teef for. 'Tie you be de teef, old Rig. Ib e rich man, I've de inonish in de Bank, more den 51. You be de teef, old thick leg.—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR-Let me know the particulars of the charge on which the prisoner is brought here. Mrs. Rieg—Please your Lordship, he lodged with me, and he went away, 14 weeks ago, Si. 10s. in my debt ; and, moreover, he walked off with two sheets and a blanket. Mr. Finklestone—Vot you mean by valk off? Mrs. Rieg—Why you stole 'em, to be sure, as you stole the soap out of Mr. Hackerbash's chamber. Mr. Finklestone—Ah ! you old Rig, vot do I vent two sheet and de blanket. I don't vent two sheet at all ; I've sheet at home.—(A laugh.) Mrs. Rieg—My Lord, he stole them, and my servant maid can prove it. The servant gill said that immediately after Mr. Finkle stone had left his mistress's house she missed the sheets and blanket off his bed. Mr. Finklestone—Ah, my Lor, she will swear anything for old Rig. Ven de vent to keep de lodger from going off, de say she vent two sheet and de blanket. She is Rig's daughter. Alt, ha, de say Ibe robber. D iires Maishter Davis, and Maishter Aarons, and Maishter Solomons, will give in my hands fifty hundred poundsh, and de say I vant two sheet and de blanket ! I don't vant no sich ditty ti ng. —( Laugh ter. ) The LORD MAYOR... 4 am not satisfied with this evidence, Mrs. Rieg. Kinnersley (the beadle of Aldgate, where Mrs. Rieg re &des) gave the Lord Mayor to understand that he believed Mrs. Rieg was subject to mistakes on occasions of the kind. The LORD MAYOR—Mr. Finklestone, you are dis.. charged. Mrs. Rieg (in a violent rage) Oh ! that's the way jus tice is done here, is it? Well, if I don't indict you for the robbery 1 hope I may catch it. Here's a way of treat ing an unprotected woman.—(Laughter.) Kinnersley, depend upon it you shall hear of this. You shall catch it afore it's long. Mr. Finklestone—Ab, ha, Mistress Rig, you must go some von else if you vont two sheet and de blanket. The Polander, whose mode of pronouncing the words descriptive of the offence with which he was charged was rather peculiar, then left the Justice-room, declaring that the Lord Mayor had delivered him out of the hands of a she Philistine. The LORD MAYOR received a letter in the German lan guage, from a native of Germany, now in Sunderland. His Lordship immediately ordered that it should be trans. lated, and then found that, after passing some high enco miums upon him, the writer requested the loan of 1001. to set up business with in this country, which he preferred to his own, in consequence of the greater facilities of get ting money. The letter was written with great simplicity, and the Lard Mayor, believing that the writer was really serious, desired Mr. Hobler to remove the erroneous im pression from the poor man's mind. The applicatiou be gan with " Your most puissant Excellency." B 0 W. STREET. THE CONVICT WOOD.Yesterday the solicitor for Mr. Clarke, who prosecuted Wood and Jepbson at the late ad Bailey Sessions, appeared before Mr. MINSHULL relative to some statements made on the day before by Mr. J. Isaacs, and published in the newspapers of that morning. The observations attributed to Mr. !saws (the solicitor observed) went the length of imputing to Mr. Clarke that he bad bribed a young man named Mack (who gave most equivocal testimony on the trial) to swear to the identity of the convict Wood ; but, so far from that being the fact, Mr. Clarke had rejected offers of money made to himself, in order to have the prosecution stifled, and peremptorily refused to listen to any proposal for compromising the felony. The imputation was therefore as unjust as it was undeserved. Mr. Isaacs, who happened to be in the office, at once declared that he had never intended to convey any thing that could in the least reflect on Mr. Clarke, who was a highly respectable man and incapable of such conduct. The witness Mack bad, however, been told, or else he had spoken falsely, that it h. identified Wood he should receive as much money as would buy three cows; but it was not Mr. Clarke by whom he was told this. The solicitor expressed himself satisfied with this expla nation and withdrew. FORGERY.—Joseph Loyd, James Gs een, Thomas Chandler, Jcptha Loyd, and John Bale, the five young men who have been charged, the three first with having uttered, and the two last with having forged, a cheque for 1501 , with intent to defraud Messrs. Coutts and Co., the bankers of the Strand, were placed at the bar for fur ther examination, and remanded. AGGRAVATED ASSAULT.—Mr. "Wm. Henry Timms, wine -merchant, lb, Craven-street, Strand, war placed in the dock, and charged with having ,that morning vio lently assaulted Mrs. Andrews, and her servant, Benjamin Butts, market-gardener, of South Lambeth, whose head was enveloped in bandages. Mr. MiNsuur.r. said that unless the defeudaut paid two lines of 5/. to the King, he should be committed for two months on each case to the House of Correction. The defendant was then removed. MARLBORO U GH- S TREE T. A BEGGING-LETTER IMPOSTOR.—Augustus Deane, alias John Deane, an Irishman, whose exterior was pur posely arranged so as to present the appearance of the most abject destitution, applied yesterday to Mr. CONANT, the sitting Magistrate, for the restitution of those articles taken from him when convicted and sent to prison for three weeks, for having carried on an extensive system of frauds on the Nobility by means of begging letters. This fellow has, or pretends to have, a defect in one of his eyes, which he states to have been caused by the operation of couching, and he has, with singular artfulness, laid hold of this circumstance to work upon the feelings of the chari tably disposed, and to urge it as his reason for not at tempting to procure employment. He was sent to this office in custody of a police offic,r, by Lord Chatham (to whom he had written a begging-letter), for having im pudently placed himself on the steps of the door of his Lordship's residence, refusing to move unless his letter was attended to. In his pockets, amongst other matters, were found some coloured stones for seals, a pair of handsome spectacles, and three letters, one of which, addressed to the Earl of Bristol, was to the following effect : ‘‘ My Lord,—ln returning the truly grateful thanks of an Irishman's heart for your goodness and charity towards me in my deep distress, I must humbly beg to mention to your tender consideration that if I could possibly procure my clothes from the pawnbroker, and so much as would pay for an advertisement in the newspapers, I would by that means be able to procure a constant means of subsistence once more, as my sight is greatly strengthened, thanks to the LORD and your Honour—and from the utter impossibility of being admitted into any gentle man's service in a shabby degrading apparel. I humbly trust your distinguished goodness will pardon me for thus intruding on your kindness once more, as it will be of life-lasting service to me, having a reference here to that kind man, Mr. Eldrige, who will recommend me, and to whom your Lordship has refer ence heretofore. Praying to Heaven that your usual kindness will feel for me, as one pound one would effect my full purpose —and I will, as in duty bound, pray for you for ever. " AUGUSTUS DEANE." The second letter, addressed to Lord Belfast, was as fol- lows : " My Lord,—Pardon the liberty of a poor Irishman, who, from sickness and want, is obliged to implore your Honourable goodness for the smallest relief, having no means of existence ; and, on my journey to Brighton, with a little goods to sell on the way, which I have all disposed of, and no means of re placing them, and as a few shillings will relieve me for six months, by having the power to deal again in my little mode of trafficking, and the prayers of the destitute will be before your soul in Heaven.' et "JOHN DEANE." succeeded two letters were sealed in readiness to be des patched to their respective addresses, and the third note, of worsu,ld pay succeededwhich was in the hand - writ in g of Lady Albarough, and addressed to Mr. Bradbury , o p tician, Holles-stre et , ltd to th e r.

Mr. CONANT would allow the fellow Us have the arti cles he applied for, but he should order his letters and me morandums to be burnt. The man then walked out of the office, and was imme diately joined by a female known in St. Giles's as Water loo Poll, with whom he has for some time been cohabiting. George Street, ostler at a livery stables in Oxford street, was charged with having refused to deliver up a large quantity of harness and other horse-gear, belonging to the late Lord De Clifford. The property had been deposited in his keeping by the coachman of his Lordship ; and on hearing of the death of his Lordship at Brighton, the prisoner conceived that a good opportunity had occurred of appropriating the pro. perry ; and accordingly when it was demanded of him by the coachman, who had been paid off after his Lordship's decease, he refused to give it up. Inquiry was then directed to be made for his Lordship's representative or solicitors, in order that the property might be restored to the lawful owner. QUE EN- S UA RE. Yesterday a young man, George Fell, was charged with robbing the house of Mr. Charles Raper, of the King's road, Chelsea, of plate, wearing-apparel, and other articles, to aconsiderable amount. Mr. WHITE ordered the prisoner to be remanded until the next week. L AMBE T STREET CHARGE OF MURDER.-Yesterday John Donovan, who has been in custody for some days past on a charge of having murdered a man named Daniel Kieffe, near Kinsale, in the county of Cork, Ireland, about seven years ago, was again brought before Mr. HAnnwtcx for further examination. A witness named Nicholas Spillawn, whom it was ne cessary to bring forward by a summons from the Magis trate, about nine years ago was employed in raising sand near the harbour of Kinsale. The deceased and another man worked in the same barge with him, and the former having some words with a person on board another barge, the latter struck the former a violent blow with a hand spike on the head, which rendered him senseless, and he was carried home, and died in a few hours afterwards from the effects of the blow. He would not undertake to swear that the prisoner was the person who had struck the deceased, but a verdict of " Wilful Alurder" was re turned by the Jury who sat on the body against a person named John Donovan, who, it was stated at the time, bad evaded apprehension by coming off to England. John Harrington, the brother-in-law of the deceased, was certain that this witness, as well as Driscoll, who had given the prisoner into custody on the charge of murder, could speak with positive certainty to the identity of the prisoner, as being the murderer, if they chose. Daniel Driscoll had worked for some months with the prisoner before the murder had been committed, but after the murder he did not recollect seeing him in Ireland. About two years and a half ago, on his (Driscoll's) coming to London, he went to work at the St. Katha rine's Dock, and there met the prisoner, when it at once flashed on his recollection that he was the murderer of Kieffe ; but he said nothing about it until the night of Saturday week, when they quarrelled, and he then gave him in charge to a policeman. The impression still on his mind was that be was the murderer, but he did not like to swear positively to the fact. Pierce Driscoll, a policeman, said that when he took the prisoner to the station. house, the last witness had spoken in the most positive manner to his identity ; but so great was his antipathy to be considered an informer among his countrymen, that he (the policeman) did Doe think he had stated the whole of what he knew of the business. Mr. HARDWICK observed that, taking all the circum stances into consideration, the charge against the prisoner was sufficiently suspicious to warrant his detention for another week, in order that the fullest inquiry might take place.
