They took the two women into custody, and they gave their names,• Mary Manning anti Mary Ann Turner, who proved to be r he wife of the prisoner Turner. The officers then ook possession of the property, consisting of plate, watches,jewellery of every description, wearing ap parel, frames, looking-glasses, and furniture, with a considerable quantity of pawnbrokers' duplicates for valuable articles; and through the dint of exertion they traced owners for a great many of the articles found in the house of the prisoner Williams, cilia,. Turner, &c., but a large portion of the property still remains to be owned. The first charge of burglary made against the prisoners was by Dr. Armsden, of Crutchell-place, New North-road, Islington, whose house was felo niously entered and robbed of plate, wearing ap parel, jewellery, and 20/. in money, on the morning of the Bth of November, when the family were buried in sleep. Dr. Armsden identified several articles found by the officers.—The prisoners were fully committed on this charge. The second charge was preferred by Mr. Harper, the proprietor of the Royal George Tavern, Bali's pond, Islington, for having robbed his house of plate to a considerable amount, and 60/. in sovereigns, Bank-notes, and silver. In August last the male prisoners entered the house and requested to have a private room ; they were ushered to the first floor apartment adjoining the chamber of the prosecutor, when they called for a glass of gin and water. One of the prisoners met the servant on the stairs every time the " grog" was ordered, and took it from her, in order to prevent his companion being disturbed while he was perform ing the act of plunder. Some time after they hail quitted the place the door of the bed-room was found to have been forced open with a crow-bar, and the property mentioned missing. The prisoners denied the robbery, but were corn mitted. The third charge was preferred by Mr. Robert Smith, of the firm of Smith and Payne, bankers, of Lombard-street, whose house, situate No. 8, Crut chell- place, Islington, was entered and robbed on the .norning of the Bth Nov., at two o'clock, when the family were asleep. Fully committed on the charge. Mr. Smith, jun., son to the above gentleman, who is connected with the recruiting department of the East India Company, charged the prisoners with a similar robbery, and they were fully com mitted. Mr. Griffin, of Charles-square, Iloxton Old town, charged them with having entered his house and plundered it of articles of plate and other pro perty to a considerable amount. Miles, Collier, and Murphy produced various articles found in the prisoners' house, which were identified. The prisoners denied this as well as the other charge=, but they were fully committed to Newgate for trial. The term of their former sentence not having expired, they will be removed from the House of Correction by habeas corpus to the Old Bailer when their trial is appointed to take place. The females were liberated. The officers were highly complimented for their zeal in the case, and being instrumental in dis-o vering the property, and bringing the delinquents to Yesterday Edward Pynz, an elderly man, a cripple, was charged by William Burgh, another el derly man, residing in Baldwin's-gardens, Gra\ ' s Inn-lane, with having violently assaulted him with a tremendous bludgeon. Both the prosecutor ated prisoner exhibited black eyes and bruises, and it was evident to every one that a desperate conflict had taken place. The prosecutor yesterday morning saw the pri eoner standing in a very indelicate position opposite the door of his house, and on remonstrating w'i'ts him he immediately struck him violently on the lip with his bludgeon, and cut his mouth dreadfully. He became very desperate, aryl although a cripple witness expected a sound thrashing from his soelt, with which he aimed a desperate blow at his head, and cut his temple (the prosecutor had hie temple and eye bandaged up). He was obliged to defend himself, and in doing which he received several desperate blows from the prisoner's stick about t l-c head and body, and he was rendered quite insensible. A police constable produced the bludgeon, arid ea d the prisoner's conduct was exceedingly violent. Mr. ROGERS a-ked the prisoner what he had to say Prisoner—He called me an ould wagabone, and I struck him, and would do so again if he called me so. Mr. ROGERS (to the prosecutor)—lt is a most violent assault, my man ; but I am afraid we cannot entertain the charge, as you returned the blow. You took the law into your own hands. Burgh—l was obliged to do so, your Worship, or I should have been nicely served out. Mr. Sergeant SELLON said he had taken satisfac tion by fighting the prisoner. He ought to have avoided striking him, and the law would grant lint redress for the assault. Mr. RoGEns (to the prisoner)—You are now discharged, lint your bludgeon shall certainly not be returned ; it shall be destroyed. Prisoner—Then I hope your 'Worship will get me another, or I shall not be able to leave the office. Mr. RoGEne—Why so ? Prisoner—l am a cripple; I cannot walk without my stick ; I was supported to the office. ei he policeman stated that he had a bumble foot, and one leg was considerably shorter than the milk r. The prisoner attempted to walk, but the short limb would not touch the ground unless e te have some support, and he nearly fell down; saed, tinder the circumstances, Mr. RouEßs ordered his bludgeon to be restored to him, when he hobbled out of the office, appa rently congratulating himself and his stick at their narrow escape from imprisonment arid the flames, while the bystanders seemed highly amused during the proceeding. TIIA.IIES POLICE. SINGULAR CHARGE OF ASSAULT.—A CHRISTMAS PARTY.—Ye-terday Captain William _Robson Gar butt, the master and part owner of a coal-ship, wa s brought before Captain RICHBELL and Mr. BALLAN- TiNE, charged with committing an assault on a policeman. Charles Hitchins, a police conetable, No. 287 11, about half-past five o'clock that morning was re quested by the Captain of a vessel who was ine briated to accompany him to the house of a merchant in Wapping, where he said he had been robbed of his watch and seals. He proceeded to the house, where he found a party of ladies and gentlemen, who had been enjoying the festivities of the season, about to break up. The person who first accosted him said that he was about to retire to a spare bed in the house which the host hail placed at his dis posal, when he missed his watch, and insisted that some of his friends had robbed him, and that he should not be satisfied until they were all searched. The lady of the house indignantly repelled this im putation on the character of her guests, and witness, knowing all the parties to be highly respectable, de• clined interfering wit he had consulted his in vector ; but the complainant declared he should remain, and he then suggested that every gentleman should empty his pockets. In an instant every coat was thrown off and the pockets emptied, and thegen tiemen also did the same with the pockets of their other garments, but the watch was not forthcoming. The d e fendant, who was one of the first to throw ff o his eoa t, and was much intoxic ated, asked witness to search him, and on his refusal said," I'd as soon pull your nose as .look at you ;" and, immediately- seiz ng him by the nose, wrung it, and dragged him round the room by it, causing great confusion among all present. He continued wringing his nose and put him in great pain until a another policeman extri cated him. Parker, No. 156 K, confirmed Hitchins' state ment, and said the gentleman's watch was subse quently found on the bed, where he had placed it on first entering the room. Mr. BennanTiNE—Was Hutchins much injured ? Pecker—He was, your Worship. The Captain wrung his nose =o soundly that he roared with agony, and filled his eyes with tears. Hitchins—For some time I thought I had no nose on my face: Captain Garbutt had nothing more to say than that it was Christmas time, and he had no recollec tion of the circumstance. He might have pulled the policeman's nose for a little amusement. Mr. BALLANTINE said it might be amusement to I him, but it was none to the policeman, whose judi cious behaviour was above all praise. An orthodox irregularity at this season of the year might have been forgiven, but there was nothing orthodox in nearly wringing an officer's nose from his face. The policeman had no wish to press the charge, and at the same time mentioned that another of the party who accompanied the defendant to the sta tion-house made such a noise that he was turned out. Soon afterwards he came back minus of his watch, which had been stolen from him by two girls. Another of the party was nearly drowned by taking the wrong road and walking into the river. Captain Garbutt here began abusing the police man and Magistrates and staggered about the dock. Mr. BALLANTINE said the defendant was not in a fit state to answer the charge, and ordered him to be locked up. Three hours afterwards the defendant, who had in the interim partaken of many glasses of sodawater, • was again put to the bar, and, on expressing his sot row for wringing the policeman's nose, was convict ed in the penalty of 20s. only, which he paid.

We have a letter from a gentleman in Man chester to his friend in London, affording a key to the election in that capital. Mr. PHILIPS was brought for ward by the decided Reformers, wbo left the field open to the hss decided Reformers, or Waverers; who, not acting with sufficient promptitude, the Conservatives, with con siderable tact, started Mr. HOPE, a gentleman of agree able manners, awl possessed of more than the usual share of suppleness attributed to his countrymen. The Wa verers then started Mr. Ltovn, but he was obnoxious to the Reformers, who would have voted for Mr. COMMIT, than either Mr. HorE or Mr. LLOYD. Mr. POULETT THOMSON having previously offered himself for Rtver, could not appear as a candidate; but it was quietly con cluded that no Member of his Majesty's Government could fail to accept the important trust of serving, if elected for that great centre of commercial and manufacturing indus• try ; and the appeal to the electors was made by a few individuals of no particular rank or influence in society ; and, as it is stated in the letter alluded to, " they had nothing to urge in support of the cause, but simply to appeal to public principle, to the honour and interest of the borough, and the hearty and consistent conduct of the Reformers, who stood pledged to give their utmost sup port to the Reform Government, and to the principles on which their existence is based." Not a farthing was ex pended ; and this election was, if ever there was one, a triumph of sound principles.—Morning Chronicle. M. GEOFFROY ST.

DREADFUL CALAMITY. The Shetland Islands have been visited with an awful dispensation of Providence. The fishermen while engaged in their usual occupation, at a great dis tance from land, were suddenly overtaken by a burl cane of unprecedented violence, even in that tem pestuous region. Some were fortunate enough to gain the shore ; others were picked up at sea by passing vessels ; many were'doomed to a watery grave. Nineteen boats sunk under the fury of the elements, and of 114 men who composed the crews, and who had left their homes full of hope and joy, only three returned to tell the tale of their disaster. So completely has the male population been swept from some of the villages, that the women have been compelled to take the places of their deceased husbands at the oar, in order to earn the means of subsistence for their starving children. But to describe the distress occasioned by this frightful loss of life would ; needless task. When the simple fact is stated, that these ill-fated mariners have left nearly SO widows, and several hundred children, exposed to all the evils of extreme poverty, aggravated by the rigours of a northern winter, the details of the picture of wretched • ness will readily present themselves to the most unreflect ing mind. To afford anything like adequate assistance to so many sufferers is far beyond the very limited means of the commu nity to which they belong. An appeal - is therefore made in their behalf to the generosity of their fellow subjects, whose lot is cast under a milder sky, and whom a bounti ful Providence has blest with the comforts of life, in the hope that out of their abundance they will spare a mite towards the relief of those desolate families who have now no support but that which they may derive from the cha- rity oithe benevolent.

FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Wednesday.) " Pmus, DEC. 25. " WAR OFFICE. Head-quarters at Berchem, Dec. 23, 11 o'clock at night. " Sir,—l send off my aide-de-camp, M. Delafontaine, chef-d'escadron, to transmit to you the capitulation which has just been concluded between General Chasse and the chief of my staff for the evacuation of the citadel of Ant werp and the forts dependent on it. It was only after warm and long discussions that these conditions were ac cepted by the commandant of the citadel. You will see that Article 2 provides—' That the garrison shall be pri soners of war, but be conducted back to the frontiers, where their arms shall be restored to them al soon as the King of Holland shall have ordered the delivery up of Forts Lillo and Lief kenshoek.' 1 am sending one of my aides de-camp to the Hague with an officer of General Chase, who is the bearer of the duplicate of the capitulation, in order to know as speedily as possible what decision the Dutch Government will form with regard to the execu• Lion of this article. I request you to inform me, in case it should refuse the evacuation of Forts Lillo and Lief ken shock, what destination I shall give to the garrison of the cita4l, who will then be prisoners of war. According to your wish, I am about to address a telegraphic despatch to Lille, which I also send to Calais, that it may be for warded to London. I enclose a copy of a report which I have just received from General• Sebastiani. Accept, &c. " Count GERARD." 3 CAPITULATION CONCLUDED BETWEEN GENERAL .ILARON CHASSE, COMMANDANT OF TIRE CITADEL OF.ANTWERP AND THE FORTS DEPENDENT ON IT, AND MARSHAL COUNT GERARD, COMMANDER••IN•CHIEF OF THE FRENCH ARMY BEFORE THAT FORTRESS. " Art. 1. The General of Infantry, B iron Chasse, shall deliver up to Marshal Count Gerard the citadel of Antwerp, the position of the Tete de Flandres, the Forts Burgbt, Zwyndrecht, and Austreweel, in their present state, with the artillery, ammunition, and provisions, ex cept those objects mentioned in _article 3. " Art. 2. The garrison shall match out with the ho nours of war, lay down their arms upon the glacis, and be prisoners of war. However, Marshal Gerard engages to have them conducted back to the frontiers of Holland, where their arms shall be restored to them as soon as the King of Holland shall have ordered the delivery up of Forts Lillo anti Liefkenshoek. With this view Marshal Gerard will send, without delay, an officer to the Hague, and permit General Chasse to despatch one on his part, if he should think proper. " Art. 3. The officers shall keep their arms. All the garrison shall keep their baggage, carriages, horses, and effects, belonging either to the troops or to the individuals of the garrison. The persons unconnected with the garri. son who have remained in the citadel shall be under the protection of the French army. " Art. 4. If the answer from the Hague should order the delivery up of Forts Lillo and Liefkenshoek, the gar rison shall be conducted back to the frontiers of Holland, either by water or by land, at the option of General Chasse, immediately after the said forts have been taken possession of. " Art. 5. If the garrison are to go by land, they shall march in one column. Gen. Chasse shall be at liberty to send off staff officers and commissaries to prepare lodgings upon the Dutch territory. " Art. 6. In case the horses and carriages belonging to the garrison should not suffice for the transport of their effects, means shall be provided for the conveyance at the expense of the garrison. It shall be the same with regard to the boats that may be required for the removal of the furniture of the officers and others attached to the gar- rison. " Art. 7. For the removal the sick and wounded, the necessary boats shall be furnished at the expense of the Dutch Government, to send them to Bergen•op•Zoom. Such of the sick as are not in a state to be removed shall continue to receive treatment in places suited to their situ ation, at the expense of the Dutch Government, from surgeons of that nation, who shall enjoy, on their leaving, the same advantages as the garrison. " Art. 8. Immediately after the signature of the present capitulation, the besieging army shall occupy with one battalion the half-moon and curtain-gate in front of the town. " Art. 9. The commandants of the artillery and the en4ineer corps shall, within the shortest space of time pos sible, give up to the commandants of the same corps of the French army, the arms, ammunition, plans, &c., belonging to the branches of the service with which they are tieVP raly charged. An inventory shall be drawn up on both sides of the objects delivered up. " Given at head-quarters under Antwerp, Dec. 23.

(A true copy) " The General of Infantry, — Commandant of the citadel of Antwerp, " Baron CHASSE." " Farm of Doel, Dec. 23, 4 o'clock p. ni, "Marshal,—As I bad expected for some days past, the Dutch squadron and the garrison of Fort Liefkenshoek this morning made an attack upon the dike of Doel. At 8 o'clock, when I was on the point of going to reconnoitre my posts, Commandant Baudisson informed me that the Dutch were about to attack him. I Immediately proceeded to the spot, and en my arrival the action had commenced. The squadron, consisting of a frigate, 2 sloops, 3 steamers, and about 20 gun-boats, had come down the river, and placed themselves opposite the dike of Doel. On board each steamer there were 400 troops. Boats with men and artillery from Liefkenshoek advanced at the same time, whilst a sortie from the garrison was made along the sea -coast, under the protection of the gen-boats. The boats landed the men they had on board on the dike, near the point where it joins that which keeps the waters in bounds. The steamers landed the men which they took on board at Lillo. All these troops then rushed upon our first post, at the junction of these two dikes. At the first fire of the muskets the battalion proceeded to the point attacked. A brisk discharge of musketry followed, and after a short fire which lasted but a few mi nutes, our troops attacked the enemy with the bayonet, drove them hack, and advanced upon the dike, the drums beating the charge. This vigorous attack dis mayed the Dutch, who retreated in disorder, and with difficulty, to their boats. Those who formed part of the garrison re-entered the fort, pursued by our soldiers, who approached the fort to within musket-shot, the fire of which prevented them advancing further. I immediately ordered the raised ways erected behind the dike to be oc cupied, and our soldiers began to fire upon the squadron, which was within pistol-shot. The combat continued till 3 o'clock. The vessels and boats were afterwards towed off by the steamers, and took refuge under the fire of forts Liefkenshoek and Lillo. We had 12 men killed, and 40 wounded, some of them severely. Our troops conducted themselves admirably, under the fire of cannon which we could not return, as we were without artillery. They re mained undaunted, and no other cry was beard than 'En avant! en avant ! when the enemy appeared on the dike. The squadron, however, kept firing for nearly six hours with 200 pieces of cannon. Grape-shot teas poured in upon us so as to astonish those most inured to war. The dikes were covered with the bodies of the Dutch, among which we remarked that of the officer who commanded. The few prisoners we have made, who are all wounded, state that 1,200 men had come from Flush ing, and that from 700 to 800 men of the garrisons of Lillo and Liefkenshoek were added to them to make this attack. Thus, we sustained an attack of 2,000 men, protected by the fire of a numerous squ t dron, with only 600 or 700 men, for the 3d battalion of the Bth, and some posts from other battalions, alone took a share in the action. I had given orders to the other bat talions and to the 19th of the Line to come up in haste, but owing to the bad roads they only al rived towards the end of the conflict. The Dutch retreated in such baste, that many, unable to reach their boats, threw themselves into the water and perished. I compute at 100 men those who were killed by the fire anl bayonets of our soldiers. This glorious affair, which will probably terminate our labour in Belgium, secures our position at Duel; the people of the village expressed their joy, and after the combat embraced our soldiers, to whom they offered brandy and bread. I shall have the honour of address ing to you a report of those who distinguished them selves; but I deem it my duty to point out to your no tice to-day Commandant Baudisson, Captains C , urton, Millo, Destaing, Menfrin, and Lieut nants Bauche de St. Leger and Dars; the two latter have been wounded. I must not omit to name the Captain of the Staff, Desalles, my aide-de-camp, who being on the dike rushed forwards to the brink of the river, and took a Dutch soldier on the point of throwing himself into the water, to gain the boats. Many non commissioned officers and soldeirs dis tinguished themselves; I shall transmit you their names. The squadron must have suffered greatly, according to the report of the prisoners . " Accept, &c., " T. SEBASTIANI.." " P.S. I apprehend this lesson will suffice to cure the Dutch of the desire to make a fresh attack, and I am nor quite tranquil as to our position. While we were attacked at Doel, 100 men made an attack on Fort Perle. They were vigorously repulsed. (A true copy.) " Count GERARD." The Brestois of the 21st inst. states that M. MO° , ship-owner of Dunkirk, who bad furnished to Don Pedro two vessels, the Sophie and the Caroline, has just ar rived on board the former at Camaret. The Sophie, on leaving the Douro, sustained a brisk fire from the forts erected by Don Miguel, but received little damage. she brings no - news, as accounts have been received to a date later then the period at wh;cl3. she sailed. The Necker Gazette of the 22d inst. has the follow' ing :—" Letters from Italy assert that the Courts of Naples, Turin, Florence, and Rome, have concluded a de fensive alliance against every internal reaction and foreign aggression. The first three Powers, it is added, have Co' gaged to assist, with auxiliary troop., the Papal Covers' ment, who is said to be on the point of declaring to the Cabinets of Paris and Vienna, that there being no longer any need for the presence of their forces, it wishes theta to be withdrawn." (From the Nouvelliste.) We have this moment learnt that the citadel of Au' twerp has capitulated. Thus our expedition has g ained its end. Thus the experience and science of our officers , the courage of our soldiers, have conquered the moat se rious obstacle to the execution of the treaty of the 15th of November—namely, the ft reed evacuation of the Bel gian territory by the Dutch army. Belgium will therefore be definitively free. We know not what will follow, but happen what ill, tr the remembrance of the siege of Antwerp will nat be lost in Europe. It will never be forgotten that a French army crossed a friendly country, observing the most sever e discipline ; that in three weeks it gained possession of s place remarkable by its strength, and the devotion of the, troops which defended it ; that during the worst season °I the year it effected all the works necessary for a siege that, struggling through rain and cold, and retarded by the nature of the ground, the fire of the enemy alone euP' ported their courage ; that in proportion to the augloe n " tation their courage redoubled, with the hope of meth ) ! the enemy ; yes, we may say, and we shall be believed "Y F, slice as well as by foreigners, the young French WI has equalled its ancient models. The enjoyment of the reward of its fatigues is not P er : haps unmingled with a feeling of regret for the attaes; which it missed, but some consolation may b e dent" e(' from the knowledge that the race of men who a t one titUe had nearly suljugated Europe is not quite ex tinct is France. The sth and 6th of June consolidate d our in terior institutions ; the capitulation of Antwerp our ex- terior security. At this moment the cannon of the capital is announcing to the inhabitants the triumph of the tricoloured fi wh g' ere This glorious sound animates all hearts, and eve r y excites a feeling of gratitude to that army w hich I"S F. shown so many proofs of devotion.
