DUTCH PAPERS. nAGUE, JULY 21.---There is still much uncertainty liaapecting the nature of the last protocols received from the London Conference. It is, however, bayed, that they are, upon the whole, more favourable to the King's de. roands than the preceding propositions were. They are at Present under the consideraiion of our Cabinet. Letters from the citadel of Antwerp state, that it is believed by the garrison that the Belgians intend to make an attack. Th e ir m ovemen t s an d pre parations indicate that they have such a f oo li s h en t er p r i se in view. It will certainly be an unfortunate attempt for them, as the for tress is in an excellent state of defence, and the courage 6f the troops in 'y be relied on. In the mean time all the women and children have been removed from the citadel, and such prnperiy as is particularly liab'e to be damaged has been lodged in the casemates. Hazux, JULY 23.—1 t is understood that our Govern ment has lately received important despatches from Berlin. The Prussian Cabinet, it is said, has expressed great satiss tMon at learning the nature of the last p ro p os i t i ons ma d e . our King, with a view to the settling of the differences with Belgium, and has given his Majesty assurance, that the Prussian Plenipotentiary to the Conference will be in structed to support these propositions in every point. The p ro t oco l s , w hi c h conta i n t h e answer to the last pro- Positions of our Cabinet, still require the adoption of the treaty of the 24 articles, but consent, as before, to subse quent modifications. Meanwhile no idea of resorting to compulsion seems now to be entertained by the Five Powers, and it is said that the preliminary evacuation of the citadel of Antwerp is not now insisted on. ,nnioned, the advocates shall be punished with the loss of their office, and the counsel of higher rank shall be re ported to the Government as deserving of being deprived of their offices."—Frankfort Papers, July IS. BRUSSELS PAPERS. 13EEDA, Jurx 20.—We learn from the Citadel of Antwerp, that a drawing of lots has lately taken place there among the men who have had no furlough since October, 1830, to go and see their families. These men are now to have furloughs in turn, according to the num bers they have drawn. Every fortnight three men from emit company will have a furlough. Our fleet in the Scheldt has made some movements, and taken new stations; it is now distributed as follows : Before Antwerp, 12 gun-boats ; between Pyp-Tabak and Kruisfort, 1 corvette, and 1 gun- boat ; off the Parel Fort, 1 frigate, and 2 gun-boats ;at Lillo, 1 bomb-ship (a corvette), 1 steam-boat, 1 frigate, 1 corvette, and 7 gun-boats; at Duels, 1 steam-boat, 1 ship of the line, 2 gun-boats ;at Fort Bath, 2 gun-boats. In all, 8 men of war, and 26 gun-hoats. According to the same ac counts, great activity was observed in the citadel ; almost all the buildings were made bomb-proof. Fresh troops, fuel, provisions, ammunition, &c. arrived daily. Amon g the Belgian troops, particularly the first divi sion, under General Duvivier, there appear to he some movements which indicate a nearer approach to our frontiers; we have here accounts that in places nearest to our frontiers, such as Murle, Hoogstratem, &c., orders h ave been given to prepare to receive a very considerable number of troops for these places. Whatever plans the L igiena may have, all necessary measures and precautions are taken en our side'against any possible attack. MIDDLEBURG, JULY 20.—Fort de Nolte, just out of Flushing, which in i s Napoleon's time was called Fort Man tebello,now furnished with the heaviest artillery, and is in a most formidable state of defence, and additional works continue to be raised to strengthen it still more. In the 4th and sth districts of Zealand our troops enjoy exc ellent health ; we h ear of hardly any s i c k ness, b ecause the greatest care is taken for the comforts of the soldiers. The troops encamped in North Brabant are likewise quite healthy. MUNICH, JULY 16.—We hear that the protocol of the _London Conf erence respecting Greece has been received here- 25,000 men, half English, half Prussian troops, to which 3,000 Bavarians may be added, are to he placed at the disposal of the Greek Government. Count Arm in ePerg is again spoken of as the only Statesman to whom the management of the Greek Government can for the present be confided to the satisfaction of the Conference. Colonel Heidegger, Counsellors Abel and Maucer, are spoken of as the probable attendants of Prince Otho when be goes to Greece. BRUSSELS, JULY 21.—The King arrived at the Palace of Lacken last night at eleven o'clock, returning from his visit to La Campini to inspect the troops. At eleven o'clock this morning his Majesty, attended by the officers of his household and of the general staff, as well as by the civil authorities, left the Palace to attend t he re Lteum. All the troops of the garrison, and of the environs, consisting of three battalions of the Civil Guard of Antwerp, four battalions of the 3d Regiment of the Line, the four brigades of Artillery, two squadrons of the Royal Guides, are under arms. The seven battalions of infantry line the streets from the palace of the King to the church of St. Gudule. After the Te Deum, his Ma jesty will inspect the troops. At half-past two o'clock all the officers of the garrison will be presented to his Ma jesty by the General at the head of the staff and the Mi nister of War. The French and English legations, the Presidents of the superior courts of justice, and several of the civil and military authorities will have the honour of dining with hit Majesty. The King will visit the theatre this evening. ] About f orty ca i ssoons , w hi ch lately arrived at Brussels, eft this city the day before yesterday loaded with ammu nition, and took the road to Louvain. A fourth regiment of Chasseurs is going to be formed to make part of the army of reserve. A third squadron 0f Royal Guides is also forming. A lett er f rom T ournay of the 18th of July " says— Yesterday evening 1,000 bombs, taken from the maga zines of our citadel, were embarked for Antwerp, and 800 musket s sent to Ypres." M. Raiken, the Minister of Justice, has returned to Brussels. Baron de Loe, who was said to have departed for Vienna, was still at Brussels yesterday evening. He is indeed, on the point of leaving this city, but is only going to the environs of Liege. NAMUR, JULY 20.—We learn from good authority that King Leopold will shortly come to Namur, and will also visit Liege. The Civic:'Guard at Namur has been for some days at Meersen, near Maestricht. The skeletons of six compa nies of the reserve batallion of the 7th regiment arrived here yesterday. Their organization is completed, and everything necessary for the equipment of the batallion is already prepared. WARSAW, JULY 9.—General Kossezki, President of the Department of Justice, has issued a circnlar to the ad vocates in the tribunals in the kingdom of Poland, to the following effect :—" The criminal courts, as they are prin cipally connected with humanity, order, and security in the kingdom, have always been special objects of his Ma jesty's attention. The keepers of the prisoners are bound to deliver accurate reports of the prisoners in confinement, hut not yet tried. These reports are examined by his Majesty himself, and whenever there appears any re- Markable delay in the judicial proceedings, the Govern- Ment Commission of Justice is called upon to account for it. The Commission, on investigating the causes of these delays, has found that they are chiefly to be ascribed to the counsel, because they have not prepared the defence in time, and are so negligent in this duty, that the ttihuoals are obliged to compel them to per form by fine or even by personal constraint. It would be useless to show, in detail, how, on the one hand, the task of defending the accused is the noblest part of the vocation of the advocates, and how, on the other hand, the neg l ect o f t hi s d u ty c asts reproach on their honourable profession. But the Commission of Justice tuust remind the advocates that the neglect of this duty in criminal matters defeats the intention of the Punishment, and is a violation of humanity; for if the accus ed is guilty, and punishment does not quickly f° f ?tyr the o bj ect of the pun i shment, w hi c h i s to deter others I. ° l 'n crim e i s defeated ; because, if remem brance of the i erini e is l ost b efore the punishment overtakes t he criminal, the impr ess i on on the pnblic, which the law proposes t produc e by the punishment of the criminal , is either inno c Hentlost or gr e at l y wea k ene d. B u t if the accused is tunate o r and on l y malevolence or a concurrence of unfor of • circumstances has thrown on him the appeara nce guilt and deprived him of his liberty, what injustice Is done himhis release ,rot by every person who causes a delay in his in enoc!nee? confinement—the public declaration of th e The unnecessary expenses incurred by public " revenue from the crowding of the pri r—the p ern i cous influence which a prolonged con 14045:ment has on th e mora l s an d h ea l t h o f t h e accuse d—th e , which th e country, already too thinly peopled, susta i ns by making so many hands idle—all these are fatal conse (penees of th e d e l ays i n cr i m i nal tr i als which have at tracted the attention of the Government in the highest degree. To remedy this evil, therefore, the Commission of Justice feels it to be its duty to call on the advocates of every class, in the name of the laws of order, of general security , and humanity, to prepare and to present to the tribunals, in due time, their pleas in criminal causes. The Commission expects from the good feelings of the profes sion, that this call will rouse them to a conviction of the absolute necessity of expedition in drawing their pleas; but should even this appeal be vain, the Commission is ob liged to declare, that independently of the penalties which are fixed by the tribunals for the non-vresentation of the pleas, the Commission of Justice has resolved that every advocate failing in this respect, shall, after having been in vain summoned three times, be punished by three months' uapension from his office ; and after four times being LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING. JULY 26, 1832. We are not of the number of those who despair of the freedom of Germany. Still less do we look at the Frankfort edict as a measure to be deplored. On the contrary, we rejoice that the despots who have long silently meditated the overthrow of all free institutions throughout Europe, have at length spoken out. By so doing, they have thrown the onus of responsibility on themselves, and made the resistance of Ger many a matter of imperious, sacred duty. Not the greatest stickler for the " right divine of Kings," can now find fault with the people for taking up the cudgels. They do so only in self- defence,—only to preserve to themselves and their descendants, those or dinary rights to which they are entitled by those li very laws which secure their tyrants in the sove reignty. The Germans do not provoke, they only repel, aggression ; they do not strike, they only content themselves with warding off the first blow, and, in a cause so just and holy, shame on the dastard who hangs back, or doubts, even an instant, the ultimate issue of the strug gle ! The Frankfort edict is a chink through which the golden light of freedom struggles in upon all Germany. It is as auspicious an event for the interests of humanity as the Duke of WELLINGTON'S uncompromising declaration against Reform. The latter roused the dormant spirit of England; the former will have the same decided effect on the continent. The Duke might have come to terms with the people ; the German despots might have done the same, and so a sort of hollow armistice might have been struck up for a season between the two parties, by which neither would have benefited, and both would have been dissatisfied; but his Grace pre ferred relying on the boroughmonger, and his brother despots, on the bayonet ; and it needs no wondrous sagacity to predict that what the Duke now is, the German tyrants will, ere long, become. These are not times for kings to play tricks in. The days of regal divinity are over. FLETCHER'S fine lines " There's not the least limb growin g to a kin g But carries thunder in it," are unintelligible in the present age, whatever they may have been in that of ELIZABETH or I JAMES the FIRST. In what an inconceivably humiliating position does this German edict place France ! What, France, the centre of European civilization,— the most chivalrous of nations—the mother of freedom—the sworn bride of revolution— w h at, this France bound hand and foot, and un able to stir one single step to aven ge a blow aimed expressly at herself; nay, what i s far worse, compelled, actually compelled, t o s i t still and smile, even with the recollections o f Austerlitz and Jena in her mind, while those very despots whom she has twice seen at her feet, twice spurned, kneeling and cringing, from her presence, despise her fears, deride her threats, twitch her by the nose, and shake their fists in her face ! , Yes, incredible as is the fact, France is at length reduced to this degrading position. She is now in the predicament of Captain BLUFFE, when that magnificent bully found Mr. SHARPER'S thumb and finger in a course of application to his proboscis. The stock jobbers of the Bourse, the usurer of the Tuilleries, and the breeches-pocket system of the juste milieu, have united, sealed her ruin. Austria and Prussia scarcely even affect to conceal that their edict is aimed at France. They unblush ingly declare that it is an attack on the revolu tionary mania of Europe, for which, of course, France is, more than any other country, respon sible. Yet she pockets the affront and says nothing. What she will do, when the Prussian and Austrian armies press hard on her Rhenish frontiers, while Russia hovers in the distance, ready on the first opportunity to push forward —what France will do when thus menaced, we of course cannot pretend to say ; but, judging horn the past, and bearing in mind the fat jobber that sits upon her throne, and calls himself a hero —the hero of Jemappe, we believe—we should not suppose she would do much more than grumble. Verily, King LOUIS PHILIPPE has much to answer for, and LAFAYETTE still more, in having stuck such a puppet on the throne. Meantime, it glads us to find, the people of Germany are not inactive. They are awake to the crisis that awaits them—aware that life or death hangs on the issue, and that they must themselves work out their deliverance. But what a queer figure in the business does the King of HANOVER Cut ! What a Janus face is his ! The one side all smiles, the other all frowns. With the right hand giving freedom to England, with the left signing the death warrant of Hanover. In the one capacity setting himself at the head of the Liberals and Reformers; in the other, following slavishly in the train of the Holy Alliance. As King of England rendering himself deservedly popular among his people ; as King of Hanover, the object of pity and distrust. As King of England dissolving his Parliament because it was too Ultra ; as King of Hanover, remonstrating with it because it was too liberal. Really, one would be apt to suppose, on wit nessing such singular inconsistency, that there were no " invariable principles" of right ; that common honesty was a mere conventional phrase, varying according to the varying habits of na tions ; that what was virtue in England was vice in Hanover ; that, in short, integrity was a sort of cant term, to be boasted of here, and repudiated there, and to be tolerated only so long as it is in fashion. But the German edict has yet to work greater miracles than giving two faces, and two sets of principles to an English monarch. It has to re verse the order of nature. and what Philosopher SQUARE calls " the fitness of things ;" to wash the blackamoor white,—to change FRAN CIS of Austria, FREDERICK of Prussia, and even NICHOLAS of Russia, into Reformers and Constitution-mongers. Before the year is many months older, a blow—not a mere physi cal but a moral one—will, we suspect, have been struck at the vitals of Absolutism throughout Europe, that will work an extraordinary change in the tastes and prejudices of the Legitimates. Little business of public interest was transacted in the House of Commons last night. In reply to some remarks by Sir E. SUGDEN, Lord ALIHORP said that measures were in progress for abolishing the sinecure offices in Chancery ; but 'till they were complete, they must be filled up as usual. The ATTORNEY GENERAL afterwards satisfactorily vindicated Lord BROUGHAM'S appointment of his brother to one of the vacant offices in Chancery. The Customs Duties Bill was afterwards pushed forward a stage. Several amendments, by way of reduction, were proposed, but re jected by the Government on the ground that the state of the revenue would not at present ad mit of any modification in the duties. Mr. POULETT THOMsON admitted that a reduction of duty was very desirable on many articles, and that it was the intention of Ministers to effect it next Session, as far as possible. To-morrow night the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will bring forward his budget, or rather recapitulate the expenses of the last year, with the prospective charges of the ensuing. As to remission of taxation, Lord ALTHORP, like many other honest men, has the inclination, but not the means. His poverty, and not his will, consents to tax the patience of JOHN BULL for a little while longer, that is, till a reformed Parliament becomes steward of the public purse. We have, as yet, no direct news from Don PEDRO'S expedition, in consequence of the pre vailing easterly winds ; but letters from Bayonne state, that several ships of Don PED no's squadron landed from two to three thousand men near Cape Mondego with a view of capturing Coimbra. This was stated a few days ago, but we must wait for more authentic intelligence. Perhaps to-morrow, or Saturday, may bring ad vices direct from Lisbon and Oporto. Had any event of moment taken place, we should, doubtless, have heard of it from friend or foe. Commercial letters received at Paris state, that serious disturbances have taken place at Manheim and Fribourg, and that there is great ferment in Rhenish Bavaria, where political asso ciations are daily organizing themselves. A case at the Lincoln Assizes affords another proof of the legiblative wisdom of Lord WYN FORD. A person of the name of HARRISON, charged with stealing a lamb, and of whose guilt there could be no doubt, was acquitted by the Jury, evidently on the ground that the punish ment exceeded the offence. This was the wa) in which numerous forgers formerly escaped pun ishment ; and Juries, till the law is altered, will adopt the same mode of evading its severity in this instance. Wherever t he severity of the law is so utterly disproportioned to the offence, jurymen, from a feeling of huma nity, forget their oaths " to return a verdict ac cording to the evidence," and prefer mercy to sacrifice. The only evil, however, that arises from this new law is, the acquittal of persons who, though not deserving banishment for life, certainly ought to be subjected to some punish ment. The Crown has the power to mitigate it, and we have no doubt this will be the course re commended by the Government till the obnoxi• ous clause is repealed. Mr. C. Ross moved on Tuesday night for a new writ for Aylesbury, in the room of Lord NUGENT, who, the Hon. Member under stood, had accepted an appointment in _ _ _ the Colonies. Mr. Ross's motives for this act of officiousness are obvious. He knows that the BUCKINGHAM interest is all-powerful in Aylesbury, and that were a new election to be hurried on, before the borough were thrown open by the Reform Bill, , a rank Ultra would be re- turned, and thus one more vote secured to the Opposition. In his zeal to secure this vote Mr. Ross waits for no official communication from Government of Lord NuGENT's acceptance of office ; this he conceives perfectly su perfluous,—a courtesy not to be dreamed of, when it militates against the inte rests of the Opposition. There is a fatality attending the fortune of some men which is quite in keeping with the Turkish doctrine of predestination. King LEO POLD and the Prince of ORANGE have evidently been born under stars whose malignant influence mutually affect each other, without either reaping benefit from the misfortune of his rival. The latter has been robbed by the former, first, of his intended consort, and then of a part of his Kingdom. The first was soon lost ; and the acceptance of the second has caused nearly as much annoyance to LEOPOLD as the loss of it to the Prince. We have heard from medical men, who had the charge of the cholera patients at Sunderland and Newcastle, as well as from some who have witnessed numerous cases in London, that in every case into which a full inquiry was in• stituted, a bowel complaint for two or three days had always preceded the spasmodic affec- tion. If this is the fact, and we see little reason to doubt it, persons have themselves only to blame if they neglect the warning, and take no remedies for a curable disease, which so often brings on a fatal one. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR. proceeded immediately at the sitting of the Court upon his bankrupt paper. ROLL'S COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Further directions and costs, of no general public in terest, occupied the MASTER of the ROLLS the whole morn ing.—lt is generally understood that his Honour rises for the long vacation on Tuesday next. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY., This being the Fifth Seal, the Court took motions to-day, RIGHTS OF THE GENTLEMEN BEHIND THE BAR. Mr. KNIGHT, after having shown cause against dissolv ing an injunction, and made another motion, proceeded to move Casmajor v. Strode, when Mr. BEADLES objected to the course pursued by the Learned Gentleman. He had already made two motions, and if the Court allowed him to proceed with a third it would be materially detrimental to the gentlemen behind the bar. Mr. KNIGHT contended that he had an absolute right to proceed with the motion he was about opening. Mr. BEADIES observed, if he did it would be the indul gence of the gentlemen behind the bar. Mr. KNIGHT did not consider it any indulgence, but the exercise of an actual right. Mr. BERMES said the Learned Gentleman having al ready made two motions, could not according to the re gulations at the bar, proceed with a third without the Permission of the Court. The present motion was op posed by Mr. Lovatt. The VICE-CHANCELLort, smiling, said he did not think the opposition of Mr. Lovatt, from his appearance, would materially lengthen the motion. Mr. KNIGHT considered it as a matter of right that he should make the motion. He knew perfectly well be should often he prevented by gentlemen behind the bar from making motions if it were in their power to do so. There could be no opposition to the present motion unless the order could be discharged. Mr. PErys thought this order ought to be discharged, and should certainly press the Court to do so. The mo tion was then proceeded with, but on some point of infor mality was ordered to stand over till to-morrow. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. B -ink Stock 3Fper Cent. Red.

The following notice was communicated to the Mayor of Antwerp by the Commandant of that city : " I am authorised to declare that there is no intention on my part to commence hostilities without provocation on the part of the enemy; and in case a contrary resolu tion should be adopted by the Government, the first care of the King will be to take precautions for the inhabitant= of the city of Antwerp and its commerce, and to put them out of danger from the attacks of the enemy. " General LEGRELLE." Accounts from the frontiers of Lithuania state that new insurrections have taken place in Smogene, as well as in the forest of Bralowiesch, and in the Government of Minsk. The insurgents in the forests have approached Mari ampol, and have destroyed the remains of rise regi ment of Cuirassiers of Prince Albert, surnamed the Invin• cibles ; and the second corps d'armee of Pahlen has been , enr against them. It is also stated that 60 officers of the army near Novogorod have been shot, having been de tected in causing the army to revolt. FUNDS. With the exception of the French mail and Estarette from Paris, we have no arrivals this morning, and should the wind continue easterly, we may expect the next in formation from Portugal via France. Our Funds are as languid this morning as they were yesterday on 'Change. Although the Stock Exchange is open, Consols are at the same price as yesterday, 83 for the account, with nothing doing as yet. We do not hear of any new cases of cholera this morning. The Foreign Market is void of the least interest. Our accounts this morning both from Holland and Belgium are pacific, and we are assured that the affairs are in a fair way of hieing adjusted. At Antwerp 30 cases of cholera had taken place. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. With the exception of the favourable reports from Hol land, in reg ar d to an am i ca bl e a dj ustment o f t h e long pending negotiations, we have no other political news at present. Since the early part of the morning, when Consols were 83, there has been more animation in the market, and Consols have been done at 83i to I for the account, The Budget, which is to be brought forward to-morrow, causes some excitement in regard to the financial measures which will he adopted by Ministers. In the Foreign Market the Dutch Stock has rather im proved. It is reported that the cholera is on board the Dutch fleet. THREE 0' CL 0 CK. Consols for account, 83i i. FOUR O'CLOCK CLOSING PRICES.

His Lordship was in his year ; had succeeded his uncle, Joust, the second Lord, in 1821. His Lordship married MARY, daughter of the Rev. Wm. CHAFEY, by whom he bad issue, three sons and five daughters. His eldest son JOHN, a barrister, born in February, 1801, succeeds to the title and estates. The deceased Peer was liberal in his politics. COMMON COUNCIL -(THIS DAY.) A Court was convened this morning, for the purpose of considering various matters of public importance ; among others, to consider the propriety of obtaining a piece of ground out of the city, to bury per sons in, who may die of the cholera morbus ; also on matters of some interest connected with the Bill for regulating the City Police. The Lord Mayor was not pre , ent, owing to illness. It was stated that his Lordship was better. Alderman WOOD was locum tenens for the Lord Mayor. The Worthy Alderman, on taking the chair, said, that as a subject connected with the City Police stood for discus sion this day, and in which his character as a putrlin man and an Alderman might he a matter of consideration, he biped the Court would allow him to state his opinion as though he was not in the Chair.—(hear.) A petition was presented from many inhabitants of the Ward of Farringdon Within, praying the Court not to rescind the resolutions that had been passed against allow itrg the carrying-on of business in Farringdon-market on Sunday mornings. The petition was refused. STATE OF LONDON-BRIDGE. Mr. LEGGE rose to present a petition which he consi d .red of considerable importance. It related to the state of the new bridge. He was not a bridge builder, but had himself gone over the bridge work and found many openings in the stones—others removed and out of their places. The bridge was defective, and was increasing. The City cost had been expended, and the petitioner c tiled for a Committee to undertake a fresh survey of the work. The petitioner was then called, and his petition read. It stated, that the defects in the bridge were increasing. Mr. JEFFREY, the petitioner, regretted that some one more competent than himself had not undertook this business. There had been a report made that the bridge was just as it ought to be; hut the fact was, that the bridge was getting worse and worse. There had been a material sinking since his last complaint.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) • 411110a.ija PORTSMOUTH, JULY 25. A person has obtained the sanction of the Admiralty to descend, by means of air pipes, to the wreck of the Boyne, late of 98 guns, which, it may be in the recollection of many, caught fire by accident at Spithead, on the Ist of May, 1795, at eleven in the morning, drifted from her in orings, and finally blew up, about six in the evening of the same day, opposite Southsea Castle. At low water the wreck is approached at about two or three fathoms. A ladder of sufficient length reaches the wreck front a ve,sel moored over. The person descends, his head en- Moped in a large leaden mask, with glass eyelets, pro tected by small brass bars, his body covered with an In dia+) rubber dress, leaving his hands perfectly free, as also his legs and feet. By this means he traverses the wreck, and has been enabled to suspend a few 24 pounders, which were hoisted into the vessel above. This afternoon, he discovered what it is supposed was the captain's (the late 8 r George Grey, Bart.) wine-store. He first brought .ip one bottle, then two; be then took down a basket, which he filled, and finally brought up 21 bottles—claret aoil port, which of course have been immerged in salt eater for the last 37 years. He refused on the deck of the vessel 20s. a bottle for it, but handsomely tapp.d one by way of taster for the bystanders. HIM agreement with Government is to have all he causes to be brought up, except the copper, which is to he deposited in the Dock yard, for which he will be allowed the usual salvage. An immense number of boats, chiefly filled with ladies, at t'nd every day. The bottles are covered with immense barnacles. ",/ /, DESCENT TO HIS► MAJESTY' BOYNE. ASSIZES-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) WORCESTER WEDNESDAY, JULY 25. Charles Hod kiss, a boatman, was indicted for the wilful murder of Francis Wassail, in the parish of Kid derminster. William Cook, a boatman, was also charged with the murder, but was admitted as evidence against the prisoner. William Edwards, a labourer, on Slturday morning, the 14th of July, passed the basin of the Worcester and Staffordshire canal; I vaw a body floating in the water. I called to a person named Edward Barnet, and with his as istance I moored the body to a boat. It was dressed in an old flannel frock and a hat, and was the body of Francis Wassell. Edward Barnet, waterman, and Thomas Turner, con stable, corroborated the witness's btatein nt. Joseph Longmore, a boatman, at Kinfer, reclllecred that on Monday the 9th of July, about four o'clock in the evening, he was on the road about thirty yards on the ',tiler side of Kinfer lock. The prisoner came up to him and was very fresh. The prisoner said to witness, " Frank Wessell, I'll pay your devil for you now." Wit ness ran across the road, and the prisoner followed him about two boats length. He (rhe prisoner) fell down on his hands and knees. Witness told him that he had done nim no harm. Prisoner came up to him and said, "It is not you that I want—l want Frankey Wessell; I'll be his butcher before the week is out." He said he was going to have seven or eight quarts of ale, and witness might have some of it if he liked. William Maysfield, a post-boy, was returning home with 40me horses, at twelve o'clock, on Tuesday night, the 10th, and took his horses to water in the Stour. lie tieard a man cry " Murder." The noise appeared to be the water near the bridge. By the JtinGE—l afterwards passed two men on the road talking together, whom I did not know ; one was Iressed in a short smock frock, and the other in short blue jacket. Thomas Maysfield, father of the last witness, who we. ,*waiting his return, corroborated his testimony as to heal - ing the cry of "Murder." Other witnesses having been examined, William Cook (the accomplice) was examined at great len-zth, and on his re-examination The Learned JUDGE stopped the case and addressed the Jury. He stated to them, that when evidence of this lescription was received it was expected that the witness .heuld give a true account of the whole of his concern in the transaction, and also that his account should, in every respect, corroborate the testimony of witnesses of credit .vho had been examined. If the Jury considered that this 'sad not been done, and they were not satisfied with the evidence as affecting the prisoner, they could now atop the proceedings. The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. The hearing of this case occupied nearly five hours. THE CHOLERA. ST. GILES'S.—The disease has not diminished here ; bodies are conveyed from the hospital in George.street to t place of interment at St. Pancras every day : eight vere buried on Monday, and five on Tuesday ; up to nine yesterday morning there had been three more deaths, and 16 patients surviving ; three or four of those were not ea ,►ected to live till sun-set. The disease, although abated in some parts of - the me •xopulis, increases in others ; in the parish of Upper Ald 4ate the deaths have not been near so numerous during the past week, whilst the lower parish, and those contiguous to the water side, have been more or less infected with the nalady. In the neighbourhood of Queenhithc Ward 50 persons have been attacked within these three weeks past, out of which number not more than seven or eight have been saved. The several fatal cases which have occurred to the mem bers of the Stock Exchange have generally been after their departure from home, the members principally living in the environs of town. SIR M. TIERNEY'S COACHMAN.-The paragraph that appeared in a morning contemporary, stating that Sir Matthew Tierney's coachman had fallen a ♦ictim to the ,;bolera tnorbus, is without foundation; both Sir Mat thew's coachmen are in perfect health, and not one of the servants have been in the slightest degree attacked. It is a singular fact that during the week before last, when mortality from the cholera was so much pre vailing, not a single death took place in the Middlesex Hospital; a very rare occurrence in an establishment raking in such numberless accidents. r (FROM A CORRESTONDENT.)-The notion that the cholera !nulity' will become acclimated in our latitudes (like the small-pox and other diseases which were once new in Europe) seems to prevail generally, and to produce lamentable inattention to the measures which have been recommended to check the spreading of the disease. Although it may not be necessary to enforce the separation of the sick from the healthy, nor to appoint officers to enter dwellings where deaths may have occurred, and by 'orce to burn, fumigate, and purify, as they see fit, it would be well to name an officer in every district to visit every place where a corpse has been removed, and to offer :iis advice as to what it would be expedient to do to eradi cate the germs of the disease ; and where parties are not, from pecuniary circumstances, in a situation to follow the advice given, to offer assistance, and make some compen ,ation for the articles it may seem expedient to destroy. In St. Bride's parish, a man residing in Dawes-court, Gun powder-alley, was attacked with the disease, and died About a fortnight ago. After a lapse of ten days the wife was attacked, and she also died, upon which the parish ifficers, much to their credit, stepped in, and purchased the furniture of the room from the relatives, in order that it might be burnt, and the further spread of the disease, 'rom this source, at least, be checked. The two poor •irphan children were passed to their parish.—Morning Herald. The cholera, which made its appearance in Newark 'ome time ago, seems now entirely erased, as there have been no symptoms of it there for m❑ny (lays. In one instance of death from the epidemic it was occa iioned by eating a hearty supper of lobster, of which the gentleman was particularly fond. A more than ordinary number of deaths have taken place in the parishes of Westgate and 'St. Dunstan within the last ten days. We have made every inquiry, and are happy to find that the disease with which the persons were attacked was not cholera, but promoted by an excess of ye !etable diet, dram-drinking, or irregular babits.—Kentish (Canterbury) Chronicle. The Moniteur attributes the increase of the cholera to the changes of the temperature, and the use of fruits and cold drinks. Its re-appearance, it observes, does not sur prise any one who has noticed its march from India to France. In all the towns through which it has passed, a tirst invasion, always destructive and long, has invariably been followed by another leas violent and of shorter dura tion. Hence we may draw the consolatory inference, that the last phase of the cholera now prevalent will not be nearly so long or so terrible as the former. SIMPLE PREVENTIVES.—Strong coffee, by its warm and aromatic qualities, is calculated to give tone and vigour to the stomach ; while for occasional cramp or spasms In that organ, strong ginger is often found an effectual remedy. There is some talk in the military circles of the probability of an increase to the army of 10,000 men. The public are perhaps not aware that his Royal Highness the Prince ALnmar of Prussia has been, with his suite, several days at the Ro)at Hotel incognito. They have gone on a tour to the Highlands, and intend re turning in a fortnight.—.Caledonian Mercury. ti AY MA ItKETS.—( At per Load of 30 Trusses.) CUMBERLAND (LATE ST. JAMES'S.)

We understand that at Dover the Board of Health have discontinued sitting since 12th inst., and that such is the present healthful state of the town, that only two burials appear on the parish registers from the Bth to the 24th instant, a period of sixteen days, with a popula tion of about 16,000. viz.:— St. Mary's parish St. James ditto Charlton ditto In consequence, as it is presumed, of a sug gestion on the part of the LORD CHANCELLOR and the Holtz SECRETARY, the Commissioners of the Insolvent Debtors' Court have given up their vacation of six weeks, which would have commenced on the Ist of August. The result of which arrangement will be the clearing the Lon don prisons of probably 200 persons confined for debt, from one to two months earlier than would have otherwise been the case, which, during the prevalence or appre hension of disease, is no unimportant matter. The Learned Commissioners discharge their own duties with credit ; it would be well if they would look after some of the subalterns. The hours of attendance of the clerks in the office are too few for the despatch of so much business as is transacted in that Court—Times. A number of Russians ome of them well known on 'Change, together with other foreigners, whose vocation it is to pick up knowledge respecting political affairl. in this country, were present at the meeting held yester day at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. The persons we particularly allude to took no part in the proceedings ul the day, but appeared mere spectators of the business of the as-embly. _/, .l S ,
