THE LONDON - JOURNALS. .EXTRACTS FROM TUE DAILY MORNING PAPERS, September 5, 1822. [MORNING POST :3 A Cabinet Council was yesterday held at the Foreign Office, when the necessary instructions for the British DepUtation to the Congress of Vienna were finally determined upon. The new Ministerial Arrangements will probably take place this day. Earl Bathurst continues for the present to hold the . Seals of the Foreign Depart ment. Mr. Robinson will have a Principal Secretaryship (that of the War and Colonial Department)• and will be succeeded. as Trea surer of the Navy and President of the Board of Trade by Mr. iluskisson. [TIIE TIMES. The Belfast News Letter of Friday last con tains what seems intended for a counter-statement of. the occurrences at the Donegal dinner, on, Wednesday the `.Bth. of August. If so, the writer is a very honeSt one ; for he admits - in . terms the chief gravamina of the occasion—viz:' the proposal of the - obnoxious Londonderry " memory "—the, riot—and the surrender of the toast. An attempt is made in other quarters to deny that the toast was disliked by the company. If it were welcome, why was it given up ? why was it not drunk " in solemn silence'." There is another shuffle attempted—the guests are said to have been drunk when the provocation ,to the row was given. Now the whole number of toasts was thirty-nine,. of which the unlucky " me mory " was the eighth ! If- the parties were so far gone thus early in the list, who, we wonder, was alive to announce. or to drink the last of the nine-and-thirty? LMORNIND HERALD.] 'The absence of any contradiction, for so many days, and the professed confirmation from so many, though rather suspicious quarters, afford strong, ground to believe that the Greeks in reality de.: feated the Turks at, the pass of 'Thermopylae., Were it. otherwise, it is probable we should long before this have had a Turkish account through the Austrian Observer. Much of the confusion as to dates may be referred to the indiscriminate use of the New and Old Style. Should the. Greeks continue their successful career, it would' somewhat affect the proceedings of the Congress —and. perhaps embarrass the design which, we understand, is , entertained, to arrange the settlement of peace through Out Europe. if their 2Q.)ition appear so favourable, and their spirit so determined, as to afford a reasonable chance of their conquering their emancipati6n from the txranny of the. Turks, the proposal of any ar raOgement, however favourable, which would leave them still subjects of the Porte, must be ungracious and unpopular—however desirable it would be to restore general tranquillity, and de prive Russia of an opening for her ambition;and a pretext for intriguing. The business of the Congress will, it appears, ,soon commencei if it has not done so already. The preliminary visits had taken place. . :04TTISII PRESS . We have - received the Paris Papers of Sunday hist,* but tl - ly are too much occupied with the uninteresting details of the pretended Rochelle conspiracy to leave room for matters- of higher importance'. The Government .of France, we donbt not, has, to use a theatrical phrase,'got up this . cOnspiracy by waY"of prelude to the approach in of Vienna. A blow is meditated against popular rights, but public opinion must still be soothed,' and' a* display of the horrors of Garbonarism might be found useful as a justifica tion of har.sh measures. It is said that France will be represented in the Congreis by MM. De Cha teaubriand, De Ferronnays, and De Caraman. --A French Ministerial Paper states, that some tumultuous scenes.had'occurred at . Nantes on the 28th of last month, and that the cry: of " Vive Napolean 11. !" was heard. Some persons were arrested, and an inquiry was ordered to he insti tuted. This affair, if judiciously treated, might be made a powerful auxiliary to the Rochelle conspiracy. That this alarming cry was uttered, none can doubt but an eme.my to the Bourbons ; and Who but a Carbonaro could have committed • such an offence ? Thy* existence of one Carbo naro in Nantes, so desperate as to utter this ex clamation, very naturally implies that there are many more, and where there are many Carbonari there must be a _conspiracy. The ingenuity Of plot-makers, - French - or English,._ might pursue this train, of argument ad infinitum, and clearly prove to the perfect satisfaction of all who wished to be deceived,- : that Nantes,.like Rochelle, possesses - it corresponding Committee, acting in' concert with the great central Lodge of, Carbonari", which the king's Advocate in Paris assure 4 the world has been for sometime esta blished in that city. 'The allegation of an un known evil' can never be positively disproved, end they 'who assert it will have attained. their object before the alarm excited by the apprehen sion of some sudden danger can have wholly sub shied. [MORNING CIIRONICLE.I' Negociations are on foot for obtaining the ac cessiou of Mr. Canning to the Ministry. The public must have been in some degree prepared for this, by the late declarations of that Right Hon. Gentleman. What the success of these nego'ciatiOns may he, is not for us' to conjecture. There . is, Ito'weirer, more in t-he affair than the mere disinclination in a certain high quarter. The Lord Chancellor is understood to have an equally strong aversion to the introduction of Mr. Canning into the Cabinet, and though leis Lordship may not be 'able to compose such bril- Ban t . speeches as jlis opponent, or be so great a mas ter in the use of similes and antitheses, he may not be inferior to him in the arts of finesse. • Opinion is mach di% ided with respect 'to- the policy of Mr. Canning's Overtures for place at the Liverpool dinner. Some say the object he - had at heart might have Veen as effectually promOted by the means of friendry negociatiOn, the failureof which could have been in a great measure concealed. But others think that he calculated on an itn pressron being produced on the Aristocracy ot t the country, and who might in consequence exert themselves to secure his talents in the present trying times. We should, indeed, suppose that the presence of Mr. Canning in the House of Commons could hardly fail to be highly gratifying ' to the Country Gentlemen. The business migh t perhaps gif on as well without him ; indeed the system is so perfect, that the leading of Mr. Bragge Bathurst would ensure as many votes on a division as the leading of Mr. Canning. But is the gratification of the mem bers nothing ? Is it nothing to them to be able to carry off a smart antithesis or pointed simile which they may afterwards triumphantly retail ? Is there no difference, in the case of those who have constituents, between meeting them under a consciousness that they have been beaten on all occasions, in every thing except the vote, and meeting them under the influence of the trium phant feeling excited by the power of referring to speeches which elicited shouts of applause and frequent bursts of laughter from well filled Ministerial Benches ? , [NEW TIMES.] We have spoken of genuine Philanthropy as having effected the abolition of the Slave Trade we have shewu that that principle does not call on us for active interference on behalf of the Greeks : we have describedfalse Philanthropy in its exercise on .our general judgments on crime and punishment, and also on the political laws and constitutions of Empires : let us now see this false Philanthropy displayed in the case of a private individual; and we will se lect one .to which we have before alluded—That of Mr. Bridle, the Into keeper of Ilchester Gaol. The trifling degree in which Mr. Bridle over stepped the bounds prescribed by the law will be best seen by referring to his trial ; and the al duous situation that he filled, the characters of those on whom he . exercised his severity, the offences which provoked it, and his very high character, will be remembered in his justification by all impartial men. Perhaps under all the cir cumstances even-handed! Justice would have thought serious admonition all that was called for. No such good fortune, however, awaited Mr. Bridle. He was dismissed from his situation ; .a measure equivalent to., that legal punishment', which, in the shape of fine, plunges a man into ruin and takes away the very bread from his lips. It might have been expected that not only philanthropists, but every person living, would have thought this a sufficient punishment for clapping a blister on the head of such a per son as.Gariner. There are few indeed who do not think death less terrible than ruin. Our false Philanthropists, however, were not satis fied. After this punishment was inflicted on Mr. Bridle, they stood up in their places in, Parlia ment, and effected the complete destruction of his character, and consequently of his last hope of procuring the means of life. They called him cc monster," and every name denoting the extreme of depravity, in the face of the whole nation ; and the whole nation necessarily believed them. It was a body of Members of Parliament against a friendless and ruined individual—a host of Philanthropists against a gaoler ; and who could doubt their assertions ? Who could believe that Members of Parliament and Philanthropists would say a syllable against an absent, defenceless, ruined man, that was not literally true ; or that they would not say every thing that could be said in extenuation a§ well as in aggravation ? The very name of Bridle was regarded with horror. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. ( From " The Norfolk Chronicle.") A Party that would fain pass (if they could ge a single person of common shrewdness to credit their protesta. tions) for the most unprejudiced, enlightened; generous, incor. rupt set of individuals upon earth ; but who denies the merit, o being either liberal, just, honest, or independent to every body— except themselves ; the Foxites of 1822, as opposite in principle and conduct to the 'Whigs of 1688 as darkness is to light : this party have of late evinced an increasing fondness for taunting those who are friendlY to the political system of the late Mr. 'Pitt, with their question as to what " storm " it was for " wea thering" which that state " Pilot" deserved to have his me mory held in grateful respect by the people of England ? The answer to this interrogatory may be given with equal ease and confidence ; for it is founded on the indubitable evidence of re corded facts. The page of History, inscribed by the pen of Truth, will continue to celebrate, in the language of honour , able because well-earned praise, the talent and energy of Mr. Pitt. At an epocha teeming with events important beyond precedent, and fraught with the most appalling danger to the whole social fabric, that illustrious Statesman placed his firm hand on the helm of affairs; and, by breaking off all communica tion with the assassin rulers of France, preserved his country from the sea of troubles" which menaced with destruction her do mestic peace and happiness. From the storm of Gallic Jaco binism, which with its frightful visitation of crime and misery, threatened, at the memorable period of- 1794, to amalgamate itself and co-operate with the rising tempest of traitorous faction in this country, we were sated by the towering genius and un daunted intrepidity of Pitt. It was he, who, wisely and justly abstaining from all interference with the internal concerns of France until the convention, whilst it became an Assembly of Regicides, practised aggressions,- professed doctrines, and pro mulgated decrees subversive of all Government—it was Pitt, who saved England from the ruinous pollution of Atheism, and from the sanguinary horrors of Anarchy.. Nor, in taking such decisive steps, had that great man to act in oppOsition to public Opinion. How forcibly soever it militates against an assertion frequently made by the Whigs and the Radicals of the present day, that a reformed Parliament, viz. one composed of popular Representatives, would have prevented hostilities it is never. theless indisputably true, that at the moment when our Go vernment dismissed the French Ambassador, the great body of the British people was' yet .more ardent and earnest in their desire for war than the Ministry themselves. Mr: Pitt's councils, under Providence, were the means of exempting us from the fate to which the different States of Europe, whether they resisted Or did not resist the march of French liberty and equality, were successively doomed—the fate of being Weighed to the ground by the iron yoke of foreign violence and, oppres sion. By persevering in his courageous policy of resisting the atrocious outrages and in suppbrtable domination of Buonaparte, this favoured Island served as a bright example to the world , ; and eventually, by ,her aid, was Europe enabled tor effectuate her own deliverance. The sacrifices made to accomplish this result have certainly been great. But what nation of the Con sinent, that has had the misfortune to feel the soul-debasing influence and galling power of Republican or Imperial France s would not have been ready to incur sacrifices ten times greater, could it, like England, have protected the independence of the Soil from the proud foot and rapacious hand of military des potism ? For these, his pre-eminently. great services, we re vere the memory of William Pitt. Their beneficial effects are • even now felt (deeply as the distressful circumstances of Agricultural. Depression are to be deplored)—they are felt in the stability of Peace,—in the revival and increase of Our Commercial and 'Mannfacturini prosperity. They will continue to be experienced long after the clamour of disaffec tion and the rancour of disappointed ambition, which the Strength and efficiency of his measures excited, shall have sub sided and been forgotten. And, if we cease to value and vene rate the sacred cause of loyalty, patriotism, and integrity, to which the labours of his public life were so nobly•consecrated, " may our right hand forget her cunning." THE. NEW MARRIAGE ACT. At most of the Police Offices yesterday several young con plesobout to enter into the matrimonial state, attended to make the necessary affidavits under the ne'w Act, the operations of which com menced on . Monday last. The principal provi sions are as follow : 1. Before publication of Banns', in any Church or Chapel, there shall be delivered to the Minister, an affidavit, sworn by both the parties to be - married, befoie such Minister, or a Justice of the Peace. 2. Such affidavit shill state the folloviing particulars :—The true Christian and surname of each party. The house or houses of their respective abodes, within the parish; chapelry, or ex. tra-parochial place adjoining. The time which the respective parties have dwelt therein, as occupiers or lodgers. Whether both or either, and which of the parties is under age. 3. Before publication of banns, the names and residences of the parties as described in the affidavit, to be affixed on the principal door of the church, &c. and in some conspicuous place within the building, and so remain during the three Sundays. 4. Persons wilfully swearing falsely shall suffer the punish ment assigned to perjury, and forfeit to the King all benefit they may derive from such marriage. 5. Publication of banns are invalid, if the marriage be not celebrated within three monde (i. e. 12 weeks) after the com pletion of the banns. SURREY SESSIONS, SEPT. 4. Maurice Newman was indicted for assaulting Sarah Stuart, a young girl about 14 years of age, with intent to commit a rape upon her. The facts of the case were proved by'five witnesses, one of them being the wife of the prisoner at the bar. On the even ing of the 18th August the prisoner assaulted the girl, and in the attempt tore her clothes, and lacerated her hands with his nails. The prisoner had previously been sitting with his wife in a public-house, and had left her to follow the girl upon whom he afterwards committed the assault. The wife, think ing her husband's absence rather strange, went in search of him, and found him in the back-parlour of her house with the girl. Mrs. Newman seized hold of her husband by the collar, and then shook the girl violently by the shoulders, and turned her out of doors. Sarah Stuart underwent a long examination, and cross-exa mination, in which she related the whole particulars, after a good deal of difficulty and hesitation. Sarah Bloxam, and two other neighbours, heard the screams of the girl, and received an account from her of the whole transaction. This the witness recapitulated to the Court. The Counsel who was employed on behalf of the prisoner addressed the Jury, but no witnesses were called for the de fence, either to fact or character. The Jury after a short consideration found a verdict—Guilty. The CiliuumAN, accompanied with a suitable admonition, passed the sentence of the Court upon the prisoner—that he be imprisoned twelve calendar months in Brixton House of Cor rection. Samuel Davis vies indicted for assaulting Phoebe Bell, a very young girl, with intent to commit a rape. The case, as proved against the prisoner, was of a more ag gravated nature than the last. From motives of delicacy we for bear to enter into the particulars. The Jury, without hesitation found a verdict—Guilty ; and The CHAIR3IAX sentenced the prisoner to 13 months' im prisonment in the House of Correction at Brixton. Joseph Haynes was indicted for receiving a quantity of har ness, knowing it to have been stolen by some person or persons not yet in custody. It was proved that a considerable time before the harness was traced to the possession of the prisoner, it had been stolen from' a coach-house and stables at Bexley-heath, in the county of Kent. The harness had been sold by the prisoner to a person for les., and had been again sold by that individual to an- other. The officer, Read, who apprehended the prisoner (a dealer in marine stores) at his own house in Suffolk-street, Blac :friars-road, stated, that he asked the prisoner where he had bought the harness. Haynes answered that he had bought it of a man in' a green coat whom he frequently saw, and thought he should see again. He had given 13s. for it. The Jury found a verdict—Nut Guilty. The prisoner was not, however, discharged, because he was unable to pay the fees either of the Jury -or of the Court. He had a wife and seven young children, and had no means of pay ing the fees. The last case which occupied tke attention cf the Court for this Session, was a dispute between two Irish women. Mrs. Sullivan accused Mrs. Leigh of beating her while standing at her stall in Blackfriars-road, and produced a witness to prove the fact. The witness stated that she saw Mrs. Leigh knock Mrs. Sullivan down, and break 12 panes of glass in Mrs. Sul. divan's window. The prisoner, in her defence, vociferated most loudly-that she had not hurt the woman, and could not have done it, because she had a baby only seven months' old in her arms at the time. She confessed she was rather angry with Mrs. Sullivan for keep ing her dear husband from her. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Court sentenced her to 14 days' imprisonment. JURY TRIALS.—It is, perhaps,_ not generally known, that by the Act authorising Jury Trials in Scotland, it is provided, if the Jury cannot agree in the verdict in twelve hours after they. are inclostA, they must separate, and a new Jury be chosen to try the case. This, we think, is an excellent regulation ; and •were the time limited. to six hours, instead of twelve, it would be an improvement.—(Glasgow'Courier.) This day the prisoners who stand committed on charges of felony were removed from the several gaols in the City of London and County of Middlesex, to Newgate, preparatory to their taking their trials at the ensuing Old Bailey Sessions, which will commence on Wednesday next.—The Sessions of the Peace for the County of Middlesex will begin at• the Sessions-House, ClerkenWell-Green, on Monday next, when . the trials of traversers and others; out on bail, on matters of assault, nuisance, and misdemeanour,- will be proceeded on. DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—About six o'clock ow Tuesday evening, a fire broke out in the exten- , sive premises of Messrs. Luntley and Milner,, wholesale droggists, 3, Bread-street-hill. — The circumstances under which it originated were. these :—One of the warehousemen had der scended into the cellar Nxith a portable lamp, a spark from whiCh. lodging upon a Mass of camphor of the finest quality, and consequently of, a highly inflammable nature, it immediately burst into a tremendous blaze, and communicated to a quantity ()roils that were 'a short distance from the camphor. The man called loudly for a sup ply of water, and remained in the cellar for a considerable time, endeavouring to smother the flames, and prevent their ascent to the Ware , house and labm'atory. The fire, however, spread in a few minutes to the factory and counting house. By this time upwards of a dozen engines had arrived, and, by the exertions of the firemen and neighbours, many of the/ papers in the counting-house were saved ; but a considerable quantity of valuable documents Were consumed. Of the extensive stock in trade but a very small proportion was saved. This part Of the property was insured to a large amount in the Union Fire office'; but we are sorry to learn that the: insur ance, does not cover the loss. The laboratory was fortunately saved. The house and premises ' are insured in the Sun .FireLoffice., Great alarm 'was 'excited in the neighbourhood inconsequence of a report that a quantity of gunpowder was on the premises, and for a moment the energies of the firemen were paralysed -; but- the -ready con tradiction of the partiesthernselves restored con- Adence". POLICE INTELLIGENCE. . NEW - MARRIAGE ACT: HAT I' GARDEN.—Yestera ay morning on the arrival of the Magistrates,_ no less th an three young couples presented them selves to take the necessary oaths prescriber by the 16th sectioh 3d of Geo. IV., chap. 75, commonly called the New Marriage Act, previous to their names being given in for the publication of bans. Yesterday being the first time that such affidavits were offered to be made here, a good deal of time was consum ed in examining the new Act, and connecting the form of the affidavits, which required the names and ages, whether bache lor and maid, widower and widow, the name and number of their residence, whether housekeeper or lodger, and how long they resided there. The delay was a great mortification to the three young ladies, whose dimpled cheeks - exhibited by their blushes the disappointment they suffered by the delay.— The New Marriage Act, the Police Act, and die New Vagrant Act, will be found fertile sources - of additional employment to the stipendiary Magistrates of the metropolis. To save much trouble on future occasions, the Magistrate ordered Mr. Ford, chief clerk, to make out a blank copy of the affidavits, to be kept in the office. . — Sia - itinoßouon-STREET.—Yesterday an affidavit or cer tificate under one of the clauses of the new Marriage Act, was sworn to, at this Office, by a young couple ; the substance of the affidavit was merely as the Act directs, that the parties were above 21, and resided in the parish mentioned, &c. They were only asked on their oaths as to the truth of its contents, and the affidavit was signed by the Magistrate.—lt should be under stood that the parish Clergyman can sign those affidavits as well' as Magistrates, ,and the subsequent publication of the bans will stand just as good by the one signature as the other. UNION-HALL.—Yesterday 'an elderly lady, of highly re spectable appearance and demeanour, applied to M. SWABEY, Esq., to solicit his advice and assistance in effecting the union of a couple of her friends, who were very desirous of entering into the holy state of matrimony. She stated that she had ac companied the candidates for conjugal felicity to Lambeth Church, for the purpose of having . the banns of marriage duly published, but to their great surprise and disappointment, they were informed by the Clergyman that the parties intending to marry should go before a Magistrate, and make an affidavit of certain particulars required by the new Marriage Act, which affidavit should be' fixed on the church door before he could publish the banns. The parties, the lady said, were both very anxious to comply with the terms of the Act in the most ex- 1 peditious manner, but were wholly ignorant of the form of the affidavit required by the new Act, on which point they hoped the Magistrate could give the necessary information. Mr. SWABEY, in answer to the application, said, no form of the affidavit required by the new Marriage Act had been sent to the office, and advised the lady to direct her friends to get a I form of the affidavit, and then come before him, when there would be no objection to their swearing it. QUEEN-SQUARE.—One of the beadles of St. Margaret's came to this Office yesterday, and told the Magistrates that two notices under the new Marriage Act had been posted upon the Church door on Sunday last, that since that time they had been taken down by some person unknown, and it was a matter of difficulty to ascertain whose duty it was to prevent such no tices being taken down. Mr. MARKLAND said the Act made no provision for this defect. Mr. RAYNSFORD said the intention of the Legislature was -good. It was thought the beadles would see that the banns were'properly published, and also that they should be posted up agreeably to the Statute, and afterwards properly registered. Mr. MARKLAND-Suppose the beadle refuses to do so, what then can be the remedy ? He has no remuneration, nor is he authorised to demand any fee or payment for his trouble ; nor is the Curate authorised to make any demand for administering the oath respecting age. Therefore the Act requires to be amended. • ROW-STREET.—(SINGULAR FRAUD.) —Yesterday, Geo. Gooch, a young man now very smartly dressed, but who a short time ago was in a state of extreme distress, was brought before the sitting Magistrates, Mr. Mrssuum, and Mr. HALLS, In the custody oeSalmon, a principal officer, charged with forging the name of Mr. J. S. Taylor, the vestry clerk of St. Andrew's, Holborn, to pretended copies of bills of exchange, drawn upon Messrs. Coutts and Co., bankers ; and thereby defrauding his aunt, a poor aged and infirm woman, of wearing apparel, some trinkets, and money to the amount of 19/. 10s. The circum stances of the case were very curious. It may be recollected that about five or six weeks ago, a man named Robert Hartley was brought to'this office by the same officer, charged with burglary, committed at the residence of Count Byland, at Blackheath, and -sent to the Maidstone as sizes for trial. The principal, indeed almost the only material, witness against him was the prisoner. Gooch, who had been a messmate with him in the navy. Hartley had met him acci dentally in the street, and communicated to rim that he was gettinglis living by plunder, and in the course of conversation he threw out some hints respecting the murder of Mrs. Donatty. Gooch upon this waited upon Mr. Taylor, the gentleman who had the management of the investigations which took place in consequence of that horrible affair, and having told him all that he had learned from-Hartley . , the latter was taken into custody. :Nothing, however, was elicited of a satisfactory nature with re spect to the murder, but a complete case was made out against him as to the burglary at Count Byland's, and he was convict ed capitally at the Maidstone assizes. After his conviction, se veral conversations were held withhim, with a view to obtain some informatide, if he really could give any, respecting the murder; •but nothing was learned from him which could be relied upon. When Gooch had been some days returned to town; be waited upon Mr. Taylor, and told him be thought that if he went down to Maidstone and had an interview with Hartley, the latter would tell any thing that he knew regarding the murder. Mr. Taylor consented to his going, and gave him some money to help him on his journey. He, however, spent the money in 'town, and did not go to Maidstone at all. Meanwhile the pri soner had been practising a very gross fraud upon his aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth Lonsdale. Mts. Lansdale resides at Lambeth, and is receiving relief from the parish, her husband being. in the workhouse in a state of insanity. He went to her and told her, that in consequence of the assistance which he had given in 'promoting the ends of public justice, in the case of his old messmate Hartley, he had got into a situation at Mr. Taylor's office, in which he received 30s. a week. In proof of this, he gave her three documents, which he said were copies of bills of exchange which he' had received from Mr. Taylor. These pretended copies ran thus:— " Messrs. Coutts and Co. " Gentlemen,—Ten days after sight, pay the bearer on de mand, the sum of —/. for value received. " To Messrs. Coutts and Co." " J. S. TAYLOR. He said that-these bills .had been received by him from Mr. Taylor, that he had taken them to Rams. Coutts's, who had -given nim copies of them,•and that the production of these copies would at any time procure the payment of the money for which they were drawn. There were three bills, two of which were for ten pounds, and the other for eighteen pounds. Upon the strength of these bits of paper, he prevailed upon his credulous old aunt to give him 2/. 12s. (2/. 10s. of which she borrowed) in money, a necklace and a brooch, and nearly all her hus band's linen and wearing apparel, he telling her that when ever she chose to present the copies which he gave her, she would receive the whole of the money. Mrs. Lans dale in a few days after did present the copies at Messrs. Coutts's, and was told that no such bills had been deposited there, and that Mr. Taylor was not known at their house. In formation was given to the. latter gentleman, and Salmon yes terday morning apprehended the prisoner at his mother's house. He found upon his person a shirt, waistcoat, and handkerchief, which he 'admitted were part of the things he obtained from his aunt ; and on searching his pockets, some duplicates for most of the other property were found. His mother was dreadfully distressed at his apprehension, although she declared: to the officer that she had pledged nearly all she had to support him, and that she had just then been - raising some money upon some clothes for his use. When he went to his aunt to obtain the things mentioned, he found her living in a small room in an obscure and miserable dwelling. The prisoner during the examination appeared perfectly in different, and put several questions to the witnesses, and made remarks upon the evidence, which evinced a degree of shrewd intelligence not often to be met with in a man in his sphere of life. - Mr. HALLS said, that the crime did not amount to forgery ; but the prisoner had undoubtedly been guilty of obtaining money and goods under false pretences, and he should commit him for re-examination, to give time for the attendance of wit nesses, whose evidence would be necessary to the complete establishment of the case against him:. The prisoner requested that an order might be given for him to be kept separate from other prisoners, as he had never been in confinement before, and he did not like to be obliged to as sociate with the characters which he should most likely meet there. He would rather be kept in solitary confinement. His request was acceded to, and he was remanded until Saturday next. _ Among the property stolen from Count Ryland's, was a pair of spectacles; 'which Hartley pawifed, and gave Gooch the duplicate. The latter obtained money from Mr. Taylor's office to redeemthern, and having done so, he pledged them again for a larger sum, and put the money in his pocket. BURGLARY.—David Barnard and Thos. Pearson, the two lads charged on suspicion of committing several burglaries, were again brought up, when a fresh charge was preferred against them by Mr. Alexander Read, of Flask-street, Chelsea, who stated that in the 'light of the 13t1r,of August, his house was broken into and robbed of plate and other articles. Among them was a tea-caddy, and the one produced by the officers found at I3arnard's lodgings was the same so stolen. Mr. Read I;produced a piece of his kitchen shutter which had been cut ~„ out by a centre-bit , and the holes in it exactly corresponded V i' the size of the centre-bit found upon the prisoners when the y were , apprehended.—Barnard was fully committed ups u " charge, and Pearson was again remanded.
