On Saturday, the stewards of a Friendly Society, held at the Bull's-head, Jewin Crescent, appeared to show cause why they refused to pay George Slough, a member, the sum of .54 upon the death of his wife, according to the rules of the society. The stewards said all members were, by the rules of the society, excluded when they claimed the sick allowance for illness arising from " voluntary fight ing." Now three weeks befo r e the death o f Slough's wife, he had claimed the sick allowance for illness arising from having cut his own throat, which the society considered " voluntary fighting." The complainant was a little deranged when he cut his throat; some years ago he had injured his head by sustaining a fall from a great height. Alderman BROWN said there was no relation be tween the act of suicide and the words of the regu lation ; he therefore ordered the payment of the money. _ _ LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1832.

During .the progress of the inquiry of the Secret Committee into the affairs of the Bank of England, considerable importance was at tached in the City to the evidence given by Mr. Rothschild, as we observed at the time. Many shrewd, and perhaps more idle and random guesses were made at its probable tendency, the mercantile world being all along impatient to fathom these inaccessible and carefully concealed secrets, and evincing great anxiety to anticipate the tardy publication of such an interesting mass of questions and answers. As evidence merely intended to be given, but, unfortunately, never called for (and which, consequently, in strictness, can hardly be termed evidence) has been already published, we are glad to have it in our power to satisfy public curiosity, with re spect to evidence actually sought for on the one hand, and readily given on the other, though apparently not prepared for the occasion "ready cut and dry." _ _ We unaerstand, from very good authority, that the numerous questions put to Mr. Roth schild—often in a very round-about manner— were very mainly directed to elicit his opinion as to the expediency of establishing a plurality of chartered banks in London, with a view of ob taining the firmest possible stability of public credit, as well as general and individual accom modation. Mr. Rothschild pronounced an opinion deci dedly favourable to a " unit" union in banking, aptly founding his argument, by way of illustra tion, on the good old story of " the bundle of sticks," which as long s united (and no longer) resisted every attempt ts) break it ; but, observed he, if the possession of all the treasure, or cir culating medium of the country, were split be tween three or more banks, one, for instance, having in its coffers three millions of sovereigns, another three millions and a half, and the old or Government Bank all the rest, perhaps five or six millions, the consequence would be that, in case of a panic, they might successively become the object of a run, and thus in the end be broke one after another in detail, neither having, by such subdivision, sufficient volume and vis inertia left to resist the shock ; whereas, if the Bank of England stood alone and concentrated in one undivided mass all the treasure of the country, it would possess ample means to satisfy every imaginable call, and be thus enabled to stop every incipient r un i n em b r y o , b y saturating the multitude of small and noisy clamourers for gold, as the large holders of bank paper gene rally know better than to join the yelping throng. Mr. Rothschild was asked, whether it was not possible for the Bank to regulate the exchanges, and prevent their turning against this country ? He replied in the negative, for that depended upon circumstance s not under the control of that Corporation ; for instance, the necessity of importing corn, wool, &c. ; but that if adverse, the rates of exchange would after a time come round again of their own accord, the importers of corn, as well as t h e se ll ers abroad, not able to give long credits, and bills drawn for the consideration of a commodity so subject to fluc tuation, being sold often 1 per cent. under the exchange of the day ; and after a few months the exchange would right itself. Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Warburton, and other querists, inquired how the importation of luxuries and superfluities from France affected the ex changes ? Mr. Rothschild told them, that as England was the great emporium for goods, as well as the cambist and cash-keeper of the whole world, in dividual inequalities balanced themselves, the mass of universal transactions, from China to Peru, from the north to the south, centering in London. The topic of Peel's Bill, par excellence, or the cash -payment question, remained, by special convention, untouched. But not so the expe diency of making silver a legal tender, of which we shall treat hereafter. It affords us great pleasure to adduce a proof of the high estimation in which British securities are held, by showing that the property left by Mr. Robert Ewen, lately deceased, amounting to upwards of one million of dollars, was yester day sold out from the American Funds, and invested in British Three per Cent. Consols. So much for a fund the 1001. stock of which a certain political writer predicted long ago would not be worth a silver sixpence.—Morn. Paper. Lieutenant WATLING, who met with so me lancholy a death near Yarmouth, saved the life of Lours PHILIPPE, the present King of the French, from drowning, many years ago, in consequence of which that Monarch has recently wished to confer some mark of royal favour upon him ; but, with the true spirit of an Englishman, he refused, saying " he only did his duty." MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.— Mr. UN DERWOOD, of Peter-line, York, lost a little girl about a month ago by cholera. This calamity had so serious an effect upon Mrs. UNDERWOOD, that she became insane, and was removed to a private asylum, but having become somewhat better, she was sent home shortly after. Tues day night, whilst her husband was asleep, she left his bed, but during the night she was missed, and a diligent search set on foot. Her bonnet and shawl were found on the New Walk, near the banks of the river Ouse, which left little doubt she had drowned herself Yesterday her body was found.—Leeds Intelligences. " My DEAR GENERAL,-General Lallernand, who will deliver this letter, will recall me to your recollection. H e will tell you with what enthusiasm the population of this country (both American and French) received the news of the glorious events of which Paris has been the theatre. The Americans were also glad to see the tri-coloured flag displayed in their theatres. Did I not see at the head of affairs a name With which mine never can accord, I should be with you wholly and-entirely, and as soon as General Charles iallemand. You will recollect the conversations we had in this free and hospitable country. My senti ments and opinions are as unchangeable as yours ; and those of my family are—Every thing for the French people. Without doubt, I cannot forget that my nephew, Napoleon 11., was proclaimed by the Chamber, which, in 1815, was dissolved by foreign bayonets, and also by the army which was dispersed on the banks of the Loire, ac cording to the wish of that family whom foreigners im posed upon France, and on whnm France has at last done justice ; as in 1815, it did justice on itself in quitting the country to take refuge under the cannon of the coalition. I shall never be so base as to abandon what I am bound to_, love, but faithful to the motto of my family—Every thing by France, and for France. I wish to fulfil my duty towards her, and I see in the 3,000,000 of votes which were given for us, only obligations towards the country, which are greater for me than for any other Frenchman. You know my opinions, which have long been declared. Individuals and families, in their relations with nations, can only have duties to perform ; the latter have rights to exercise,—they owe justice to all. " If the French nation should call to the head of its affairs the most obscure family, I think that we are bound to submit to its will wholly and entirely ; but the nation alone has the right of destroying its own work. Govern. ments being needful for nations, the individuals who com pose governments ought, doubtless, to be subordinate to the wants or the people cleatlYeipressed. I should have come myself to express these sentiments, had I considered my presence useful,-s-had the arbitrary law, dictated by the foreigner, and approved by the family imposed On our country, to neutralise its just influence on the affairs of Europe, been abolished by the authorities whom necessity gave to France after the events of the last days olluly. "I ask then the abolition of that arbitrary; llitts which closes France against my family, which had opened France to all the Frenchmen whom the revolution had expelled. I protest against every election made by private corporations and bodies, which have not obtained from the nation those powers which it alone is entitled to give; and I declare, under all these circumstances, that I am ready to conform to the national will legally expressed, whatever that will may be, regarding every sacrifice which the welfare of the country imposes as a tribute which she his a right to re quire of her children, and a happiness for them to perform. " The vessel which conveys General Charles Lallemand being on the point of sailing, I have barely time to write these lines. I address them to you, because of all the Frenchmen who have taken part in the secret struggle which existed by the force of circumstances between the nation and a government of foreigners, you are the person who has seen me, and conversed with me here, who knows nay whole mind, and whose similarity of political opinions with my own has given me a full and entire confidence in your character. " I have begged M. to express my wish to you, and I beg that you, General, will express to the illustrious citizens who, with you, have assisted in raising up the na tional colours, my sentiments, which you have had the op portunity of ascertaining here, and which, in all possible hypotheses, are unalterable—wholly for the French people. " The Emperor, my brother, when dying on the rock of St. Helena, dictated to General Bertrand a letter to me, in which he recommended his son to me, and bade me an eternal farewell. This letter terminates thus Impress unceasingly on my son that he is, before all things, a Frenchmaa ; let him take for his device Tout polo' le peuple Francais.' I have fulfilled, as far as lay in my power, the duty which this sentiment imposed on me. I know that his son is as much a Frenchman as you and I, in despite of fortune ; and I hope that the moment is not far distant when he may help me to restore to France a portion of what we all owe her. " Adieu, my dear General ; my letter sufficiently proves that I ren.!er justice to the sentiments you evinced for me during the triumphal journey which you made in th a t nation in which I have lived for 15 years. Liberty is not a mere chimera; it is a blessing which a wise and mode rate nation may enjoy when it will. By way of precau tion, I send a duplicate of this letter. The first copy was despatched on the 10th instant. " Be pleased to accept, my dear General, every expres sion of my former attachment. " JOSEPH BONAPARTE." GENERAL LAFAYETTE'S ANSWER TO THE COUNT DE SURVILLIERS. " Paris, Nov. 26, 1830. " M. LE COMTE,—I have received the letters which you have done me the honour to address to me, with those sentiments of affection and respect which I owe to the kindness you have at all times evinced for me. My gratitude and attachment could not be strengthened by our late conversations, when we spoke with confidence of the past, the present, and the future. " You must have been dissatisfied with my conduct in recent circumstances, not that I bad given any pledge to you or to any one; but you must have said—' Since La fayette conceived himself compelled by circumstances to relax in the preference he has at all times professed for purely republican institutions, why has that concession favoured another family than mine? Has lie forgotten that 3,000,000 of votes acknowledged the Imperial dy nasty?' You see, my dear Count, I present the reproach in its full force. I have deserved it, and I will now justify myself in full independence and purity of conscience. " When the measures of Charles X. and company roused the inhabitants of Paris, and public confidence placed me at the head of the patriotic movement, my first thought, after the victory, was to turn affairs to the best account for the cause of freedom and my country. You may readily suppose that no personal consideration could connect itself with this determination. " The first condition of republican principles being to respect the general will, I was withheld from proposing a purely American constitution, in my opinion the best of all. To do this would have been to disregard the wish of the majority, to risk civil trouble , , and to kindle foreign war. It I was wrong, my mistake was at least at variance with the inclinations I have al.vays cherished, and even, sup posing me to have possessed vulgar ambition, it was con trary to what might be termed my interest. " A popular throne, in the name of the national sovereignty, surrounded by republican institutions, ap peared to be within our attainment ; this was the pro gramme of the barricades, and of the Hotel de Ville, of which I undertook to be the interpreter. " The Chamber of Deputies, representing 80,000 electors, did not go so far as we did ; but it agreed with public opinio❑ for the expulsion of the guilty family, and it was, like Paris and the rest of France, urged to allay in quietude, and to come to a resolution. " I might content myself with observing that your dynasty was dispersed : some were in Rome, you in America, and the Duke of Reichstadt in the hands of the Austrians, but I owe to your friendship a candid dis closure of my statements. " The Napoleon system was brilliant in glory, but stamped with despotism, aristocracy, and slavery,* and if there were any event which could render those scourges tolerable and almost popular in France (which Heaven forbid), it would be the restoration of the imperial regime. Besides, the son of your wonderful brother has become an Au s t r i an P r i nce, and you know what t h e Vienna Cabi net i s. These considerations, my dear Count, in spit e o f t h e sentiments I entertain towar d s you personally, did not permit me to wish for the re establishment of a th rone which during the 100 days b a d displayed a constant t en d ency to former errors. " I scarcely knew the Duke of Orleans. Serious dif ferences Lid existed between his father and me. Some family relations and civilities had not led me to visit the Palais Royal. Nevertheless, I knew, in common with • After the Emperor's departure for 'Waterloo, Prince Lucien had a conversation with Lafayette :—" Do you hope," sa id the latter, " that your brother may be corrected ?" " No," Lucien ; " two miracles have save d him—Marengo and Auster litz ; he perhaps will perform a thi r d ; b ut that does no t depend on himself, and in case of a def ea t , two parties will rise up---one for his son, and the other for the D u k e o f Orleans. I am for my nephew; whom are you for, Gen era l ?" " N e i t h er f or the one n'n the other," replied Lafayett e; " as I j ust now o b serv ed to an Orleanist. I remain with the p eop l e, i ndepen d en t o f parties; and I hope that liberty may mak e t h e b est poss ibl e bargain, without reference tolindividualv , replied the public, that there were to be found in that family, along with domestic virtues and simple tastes, little ambi. tion, and a sentiment truly French, to which the Emperor himself had rendered justice. I recollected the young republican of 1789, the soldier of Valmy and Gemappes, the professor in .Switzerlaml, and the , traveller in the United States. He was called Bourbon, and that is a disagreeable name; but as a name, it was more than yours, more than that of republic, a security against war. It did not prevent the establishing and bringing into practice the principle and the sovereignty of the people---the put ting arms into the hands of 2,000,000 of citizens—choos ing their own officers—the completing of the liberty of the press, end the possession of popular institutions. -It there fore appeared to me useful in the circumstances in which - sue were placed, for the sake of peace within and with out, that the different shades of political opinion, with the `exception of Charles X.'s party, should unite under this combination. " My assent was not the effect of any prejudice or anterior affection. I must now say, that after four months of intimate acquaintance, sentiments of confidence, friendship, and the interest of a common cause have strengthened my first impressions. As to the general as sent, what was done was not merely the work of the Chambers and the 4 poOulation of Paris—of 80,000 Na tional Guards, and 800,000 spectators in the Champs-de- Mars. All the deputations from the towns and villages of France, which, in consequence of my functions. I re ceived in detail—in a word, multitudes of adhesions, un instigated and unquestionable, took place, which convince us more and more that what we have done is conformable to the will of the greit majority of the French people. " I observe in one of your letters, which have all been faithfully delivered, that you suspect the Duke of Or leans of having had knowledge of a plot against the Em peror in the ble of Elba. He is incapable of any thing of the kind ; and, from that I have been told by the repub lican who denounced that plot, and by Madame de Stael, who continued in friendship with the Duke of Orleans, I should, independent of his known character, have been convinced that some one had calumniated him to you. " One of my first cares, after his elevation to the throne, was to express a wish to him that you, your children, and your respectable mother, might, if you thought fit, return tranquilly to France. The idea was very cordially re ceived by the King ; but objections were started on ac count of the treaties with foreign powers, which, absurd and insolent as they are, would render some negocia- Cons necessary. Political circumstances have since changed ; the diplomatic horizon is overcast ; both sides, are on their guard. But it is superfluous to dwell on these circumstances, since, in any case, judging from the tenour of your letters, you would not have adopted that course. I mention it only in reference to what I have had the honour to tell you at Burdenton. "In the sincerity of my heart, I was anxious to have this explanation with you. I will not say that all happened just as I would have dictated it. You know that in public, as well as private affairs, we never see things go entirely to our satisfaction. Your incomparable brother, with all his power, his energy, and his talent, experienced the truth of this ; and you, his best friend, have had your share of disappointment. I can make no concealment of what I voluntarily did, for I love to preserve your friend ship by candour, rather than to destroy it by a less sin cere apology. " Receive, my dear Count, the homage of the respect, gratitude, and affection, for which I am pledged to you. " LAFAYETTE:" Such are the motives which induced Lafayette to hold himself apart from three systems, into each of which the parties endeavoured in vain to engage him. The three Deputies were immediately introduced into the bedchamber of Louis XVIII., transformed by the ouvriers of July into the office (cabinet de travail) of Louis Philippe, who was not long in making his appear ance by a door which communicated with the Queen's apartment. The manner and physiognomy of the King were calm, his deportment was easy, free from agitation, and-expressive of none of that anguish of mind which might have been justified by his situation. His Majesty received the three patriots with politeness : he said he was very glad to see them ; that the Opposition could not have chosen negotiators more agreeable to him ; and after desir ing them to be seated, and placing himself before his writing-table, he seemed ready to listen to them. What occurre I then ? If any facts are t o b e re li e d on , _ . the following is what took place at this memorable inter view. 1 relate the circumstances without comment, just as they were transferred from another's recollection to mine : 1%1. Odillon Barrot was the first to speak ; and in a serious, measured, and respectful address, this honourable orator represented to the King that the deputies of the na tional opposition, like all good citizens, deplored the dis orders and calamities of the preceding day ; that they could not express their censure and indignation at the cul pable excesses of those who had set at nought the laws, and resisted the legal authority with arms in their hands ; but that it was likewise their duty not to disguise from the Chief of the State, that the retrograde policy of his Cabinet,—the disregard of the engagements of July,—the disappointment of the expectations of the revolution,— the neglect of national honour,—and, finally, the whole of the system of the 13th of March, had exasperated and in flamed the mutual animosities amongst the citizens, which had caused blood to flow in the streets of Paris, and were a prelude to the most frightful of all calamities, a civil war. Placing thus before the King the respective wrongs of the Government and its adversaries, M. Odillon Barrot concluded by conjuring his Majesty to stop the•effusion of blood, which still continued to flow,—to silence the can non, which then resounded even in the royal abode,—to be indulgent towards the vanquished,—and to prevent a renewal of these scenes, by a prompt and frank return to the principles on which his dynasty had been seated by the revolution. The King replied, that having been audaciously at. tacked by his enemies, he had a legitimate right to defend himself; that, in short, it was time to quell revolt, and he had employed cannon as the shortest way of ending it; that he had, nevertheless, rejected the proposal which had been made to him, of placing the city of Paris in a state of siege ; that, as to the pretended engagements of the Hotel de Ville, and those republican institutions about which the opposition made so much noise, he could hardly compre hend what it t,ll meant ; that he had more than fulfilled the pledges he had made, and given to France as many re publican institutions as he had promised, and even more; that the programme of the Hotel de Ville had only existed in the brain of M. de Lafayette, whose incessant appeals were evidently the result of a mistake; that, with respect to the system of the 13th of March, it was wrong to give the crodit of it to M. Perrier; that this system belongeil to the King, and was the result of his own convictions, the fruit of his meditations, and the expression of his re flections on politics and government ; that he, Louis Phi lippe, had consented to take the crown only on the con ditions indicated by the development of this system, which was most conformable to the wishes and wants of France, and from which he would not deviate, even should they mince lain in a mortar (the King's literal expression): "in short," the King added, "it will not do, gentlemen, to allege vague accusations; specify the charges you have to make against the Perrier system, of which poor Perrier is guiltless enough. What have you to say against this system ? Let us hear it." M. Arago replied, by a rapid and animated exposition of the divisions by which France was lacerated, and which the policy of the Government cherished with an emost scrupulous solicitude; he referred to his own family, which had surrendered itself to the schism of political opinions ; he instanced his brother and his nephew, who, perhaps, at the very moment he was speaking, were ranged in oppo site ranks, prepared to take each other's life : and, to characterize the situation by an example, he adverted to the League, and to the d'Ailly, who, under Henry IV., slew his own son in the streets of Paris. M. Arago then spoke of the public posts given to the partisans of the fallen regime ; of the scandalous indulgence which screened the machinations of the Carlists, whilst the failings of in dividuals and of the press were prosecuted with a rigour unexampled in the judicial annals of the restoration. M. Arago mentioned, likewise, the astonishment and deep disgust which the apparent impunity the Duchess de Berri seemed to enjoy excited throughout France, and the invidious interpretations to which this impunity give ri se . might At these words Louis Philippe exclaimed, that his Go vernment had no other enemies than the Carlists and the Republicans, —that what had been objected to him was only the result of their manosuvres,—that he had been ac cused of avarice (he in whose eyes money had never pos sessed any value),—that his best intentions had been per verted to such a degree that, for a long time past, he could not read either the Ti ibune or the National,—that hi s father, who was the best citizen of France, had been ca lumniated like himself, and impelled to give the revolution a bloody pledge, which he ought to have refused,'—that the exigencies of the two revolutions were equally unsus tainable; that he, Louis Philippe, was not obstinate, which he had shown when, after long resistance, he had improperly given way to importunity, and effaced from the outside of his palace, and from his armorial bear ings, the Aura de lie, which had been from time imme morial the arms of his family. With regard to the repre. sentations concerning the Duchess de Berri, Louis Phi. lippe declared that if that Princess was arrested, justice should take its course ; but that, whatever happened, his reign should not witness a bloody drama. At this mo ment the cannon of Saint Merry made the glasses in the palace shake. The discussion having brought M. Arago to foreign affairs, and this deputy deploring the state of abasement and submission into which France had fallen in the eyes of Europe, the King, on the other hand, took credit to him self for his foreign policy. " This policy," said he, " has prevented the Powers from doing what they were reso lutely bent an doing. For more than six months I have held them Ilk my own hands. The King of Holland is about to yield. I give France a new ally in King Leopold, whom I make my son-in-law, in spite of many causes of umbrage. In sh o rt, if it mus t b e t o ld, t h e P owers orb in such a position, that my throne would be the most diffi cult to shake; not one of them has the stuff of a Duke of Orleans." " But, Sire, the affair of Ancona. What ! the tricoloured flag removed, by order of Rome, from the towers of a citadel occupied by our soldiers ! What ! the Ambassador of the King of July at the feet of the Pope !" " Not so loud, Sir," said the King quickly, " I can hear you. True, there is, indeed, something to say respecting the affair of Ancona; but it was necessary to' succeed—it was essential, and we have succeeded. And surely, some condescension towards an aged and obstinate priest involve= no vast consequences. Besides, whatever were the means employed by my Ambassador, he has completely justified himself in his correspondence. Proceed." The discussion having returned to the system of the 13th March, the King, who affected to snake very good use of M. Perrier, pretended that this system was really, but the continuation of that of the 3d of November. " I appeal," said he, " upon this point, to M. Laffitte ; was it not that system you followed?" The late President of the Council at first maintained a negative silence; but Louis Philippe having subsequently again insisted upon this parity, M. Laffitte loudly protested against an assimilation, which was the more incorrect, since it was notorious that a radical difference between the King and himself, as well respecting affairs at home as the direction of our exterior policy, had occasioned his retirement from the Council. In conclusion, Louis Philippe observed to MM. Odillon Barrot, Laffitte, and Arago, that his duty requiring him to listen to the representatives of France, and to study the wants and wishes of the country, he should always receive them with pleasure ; that whenever they made any well grounded representations, he should pay attention to them; but that, candidly speaking, he had found nothing iu their statement, and that the system pursued by his Govern ment, being the result of his own conviction, he was sorry to be obliged to declare that he could make no change in it. On rising, M. Laffitte told the King that he should re tire penetrated with the deepest sorrow ; he entreated him to compare the eagerness and enthusiasm which his pre. sence formerly excited with the effect it now produced ; that this alteration denoted a deep—seated evil, and he con jured his Majesty to ask himself whether a King of France who required 50,000 men to guard him, was really King of France. • This disapproval of the most important act of the political life of the Duke of Orleans recalls to my recollection a fact of which I was witness. At the Hotel de Ville, some young per sons were congratulating themselves, before the citizen-monarch, at having at length got a patriot Prince tbr a King. Yes my friends,"• exclaimed Louis Philippe. pr e ssi ng th e i r h a nd s , '4 yes, a patriot like my father." I also recollect that these expressions caused Lafayette to look serious ; that they appeared to him to require explanation, and were one of the chief causes of the in terview he had immediately after with the Lieutenant-General, in which the bases of the programme of the Hotel de Ville were proposed and accepted. DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. THE HAGUE, Ana. 28.—Count Mortier Von Malt zan, the sew Prussian Ambassador to our Court, has ar rived here. We receive from all quarters accounts of the solemn and cordial manner in which the King's birthday was cele brated in the country and the army. Letters from Maes tricht, of the 24th, mention that the Orange crosses were delivered on that day to the individuals in the garrison entitled to them. The Belgian troops had reoccupied their posts, and placed sentinels at 1,500 mitres from the fortress ; many Belgian deserters, who had come to Maestricht, complained of the severe duty and bad pay. Major-Gen. Von Goedicke, President of the Commission of Government in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, has issued an order of the following tenor :—" As both the German and French languages are equally current in the Grand Duchy, the inhabitants, in their communications with the authorities, magistrates, and public officers of every description, may use what lan guage they please ; and the authorities, &c. are to treat the affairs in question in the language which the appli. cants have used. Notaries in their acts are to use which of the two languages the parties require. The authorities of the Grand Duchy, who have to correspond with the German Diet, must use the German language." BREDA, Auo. 27.—Letters from Zealand confirm the report that a Belgian Lieutenant of the Civic Guard had deserted to us, and that he has said that several others would follow him. A family from Ghent had also arrived with the intention of removing their manufactory to Hol. land. The report of the cholera having appeared in our fleet in the Schelde is unfounded. FRANKFORT, Au°. 24.—The cholera has now wholly ceased at Erfurt. It has been very fatal ; the number of cases was 187, of deaths 120—very nearly two-thirds. On the 15th the operations for improving the naviga tion of the Rhine, by blowing up the rocks in what is called the Bingerloch, were concluded. Prince Frederick of Prussia, the Prince of Hohenlohe, Gen. Von Muffling, Go vernor of Maience, the Austrian General, Baron Rosen, and many other persons of distinction, were present. The holes bored in the rocks were charged three different times, and each time immense masses of stoae were blown out of the water. Every trace of danger in the navigation is now removed, so that though the water is uncommonly low, the steam-boats pass without difficulty, and even a Dutch ship heavily laden has passed, without the aid of horses, through the new channel. The Maunheine Gazette says that Duke Charles of Brunswick having failed in his negociations with General Uminski, has agreed with Romarino for an expedition to Brunswick. Lists for inscribing the names of recruits lie in all the public houses in Paris.—Frankfort Papers, Aug. 25. SLAVERY IN ENGLAND.—The slave trade prevailed at an early period in this island. GITHA, kinswoman to Catityre (it is not well known whether daughter, niece, or sister-in-law), stands on record as having a vast fortune by dealing in slaves. Bristol was the most famous part for that commodity. \VULFSTAN not long after made the people somewhat ashamed of their proceedings. He was Bishop of Norwich. Yet, even in King's Jontes time, the Irish bought many alms from Bristol. To add to the brutality of this proceeding, the sellers always took care that their females should be in a condition which might enable them to demand a higher price from the purchaser. The English had adopted this species of commerce from their German ancestors, and were kept in countenance by the practice of the French and other nations. Potatoes were introduced at Moscow about 40 years ago, by a Mr. ROWLAND. At first the people would neither plant nor touch them, saying they were the devil's fruit, given to him on the occasion of his complain ing to GOD that he had no fruit, when he was desired to search in the earth for some, which he did, and found po tatoes. Soon after the fist crop had been set there was a general drought in that part of the country, so that nearly all the crops failed ; but, singular to say, a partial rain fell on the estate where the potatoes bad been planted, and they flourished. Instead of being thankful for the supply, the people still refused to eat them, saying it was only the devil taking care of his own fruit; but perseverance con quered th e p re j u di ce — potatoes are now eaten w i th a vidity, and Russia, forma chief article of their food,—Jones's Sweden and MARLB 01? 0 U GH- S TREE T. On Saturday, Jane May, alias Mann, and Ca therine Phillips, were charged with receiving a va riety of articles of jewellery and plate, the property , of Mr. Steel, silversmith, &c., Oxford-street, know ing the same to have been stolen. The case was of a distressing nature. It appeared that the sor. of Mr. Steel, a lad about 14 years of age, had become acquainted with several young females of a certain description, who persuaded him to rob his father. The youth carried on his depredations upon the property of his parent to a great extent, and among the long list of articles stolen were rings, necklaces, bracelets, &c. So many valuables were at length missing, that suspicion fell upon the boy, who at once acknowledged bit guilt. He was conveyed to this office, together ivith a female Whom he was in the practice of meeting in Regent -street at night. They were remanded until Wednesd a y. Si nce t h e i r examination the above-named prisoners were taken into custody. On the person of May was found a valuable necklace, and her fingers were decorated with rings, the produce of the robbery. A number of duplicates were also discovered at their lodgings, and the articles pledged sworn to as forming part of the property stolen. Phillips did not deny pawn ing tliem, but did so at the deSire of the youth, she believing them to be his property. May said the son of Mr. Steel gave her the necklace and ring. , , as a present, one night in Regent -street. Mr. DYER observed that it tvasa most distressing ease, and, after animadverting upon the conduct of the prisoners, in supposing the property belonged to such a youth as the prisoner Steel, remanded the females until Wednesday, when all the prisoners will be placed at the bar for:further examination. MAR YLEB ONE. On Saturday, Frederick Talbot was charged with , tealing from the house of Mr. Baker, of Albany street, Regent's-park,.upwaids of 501. worth of plate, consisting of 12 table spoons 12 table fork s , 3 dessert spoons, 7 t eas p oons , and a silver watch ; ind two men, named Camcgey and Bolton, • were charged with feloniously receiving the same. The were committed for trial. LAMBETH-STREET. Mrs. Taylor, an elderly lady, residing in Cannon street-road, St. George's-in-the-East, on Saturday, appeared before the Magistrates, accompanied by a young and handsome female, very fashionably at tired, under the following circumstances : On Friday morning a genteel-looking man hired furnished apartments at her house for himself and wife, and a few hours after the young female then present arrived in a hackney-coach. Since that the gentleman had not been heard of. The young fe male stated that she was the daughter of a farmer named Crawe, on the Wrexham road, near Chester. Some time ago she was at the Chester theatre, where she saw an actor named Clare, with whom she afterwards got acquainted at a friend's house. He secretly paid his addresses to her, and, in conse quence of a letter she received from him, she clan destinely left her parents' house, taking with her some money and clothes. She went to Liverpool, where she met Clare by appointment, and they were married by licence, in the presence of strangers. They travelled to Liverpool, Sheffield, Lincoln, and •hence to London, where they arrived on Thursday aight, which was exectly five weeks after their mar riage. She remained at the Flower-pot, in 13i ,hopsgate-street, till next morning, when her hus band put her into a coach, and told the coachman to drive to Mrs. Taylor's. He said he had to meet the manager of the Pavilion Theatre respecting an engagement, but he would be with her in half an flour. Since that she had not seen him. He had previously taken thirty guineas out of her box, and put them into his pocket. He was lately engaged it the Dublin Theatre, where he received two zuineas a week. In reply to the Magistrate, Mrs. Clare said her husband had always been very kind to her. The MAGISTRATES directed the unfortunate girl to write to her friends at Chester, and Lea, the of ticer, to make every exertion to trace the fugitive husbancl,..who is a native of Ireland. LAMBE T H-S TREE T. THE OLD MAN AND HIS Ass. --Every body has read the story of the " Old Man and his Ass ;" but that was a fable, the following is a reality William church was charged with stealing a donkey, alias an ass, the property of an aged Nea politan, who gave his name John Cotton, in prefer ence to his Italian name, which was not, perhaps, of so soft a texture. The prosecutor said, " I losht mine donki lasht Venisdeday vas to foreteenth; then I lifd at d u Barking chide in Essex, and I vent to Blacleoeath on the Chaturday, vich vas a place for de donkis to be shold, and I shave my donki in gravel-pit, vere he couldn't get out." He then proceeded to state, that after some exertion, he got the donkey cut, and spoke to him, but " he vould'nt know him, nor go rid him." But he, having the fear of Mr. Gompertz before his eyes, did not beat him; and acting under he humane sentiment so elegantly expressed in the effusion of one of our modern bards, " If I had a donkey vot vould'nt go, D'ye think I'd vollop him ? Oh no, no!!" - - Ile very kindly took the neckcloth from his own Throat, and wrapped it about Neddy's, and proceeded to lead him off. He had not traversed the heath before be was met by a little boy, in a red jacket, who strutted up to him, saying, " I say, old 'un, vot are you arter vid my donkey ?" " Your donki !" replied Cotton, " dat is not your donki rot I pought myshelf." An ecktircissenzent ensued, and subsequently the boy, who gave his name William Heath, identified the prisoner as the man who sold him the donkey for Bs. The policeman who apprehended the prisoner said he had discovered that he had sold severaldon keys at the same place. The prisoner said,—" Ther never vos nor bigger a nass than the policeman, to say he sold donkeys, yen, barring that ere von, he never sold none ever." r O A u g n h o t t h a e a c i a n s s e of t the andtheNVasn l Magistrates,so understanding that numerous other charges of a similar kind were forthcoming, ordered him to be remanded. THAMES POLICE. Captain James MKellar, master of the Glas gow, a Dundee steamer, was on Saturday brought up on an assault warrant, charged with swamping a boat containing four persons, and nearly drowning them. The defendant was ordered to find bail, himself 2001., and two sureties of 1001. each, to answer le charge at the Sessions. Mr. Straight, on the part of the Watermen'a Company, immediately undertook to prosecute the defecdant, and also the pilot who had charge of the steamer at the time.—Bail was put in.
