THE LONDON JOURNALS. 4MT.IIAirSS MOH TUE DAILY MDTIMING P414:115, August `23, 18`22. [MORNING PORT.] 4esennts of the sth inst., from Ancona, state, that before retaking possession of the town and PeeinstAa, of Cassandra, the Greeks landed by night, to the number of 1500 picked men, and surprises. two forts which the Turks llad con *structed: for the protection of the port of Salo nica. The troops by which the batteries were guarded. were killed or dispersed, an& the artillery embarked on board the Grecian vessels ,and conveyed to Cassandra, where, after the re capture of the place, it was moanted on a line of fortifications extending across the isthmus which divides that Peninsula from. the main land. The brave warriors by whoa) these enterprises were achieved, were the rea ming of the inhabitants of Cassandra, whom the Tarks had driven from their hoaies a yea :'ago. Th e y had taken service at Mara, whenit was thought that the Ottoman fleet would make an attempt on that island, but the danger being considered as over - sifice the destruction of the Capitan .Dacha, and of a great portion of his fleet, the Psarans lent ships to the Refugees, and thus enab!ed them to reconquer their country, and to .effect a powerful diversion in favour of the main ,cansf , . now daily gaining groand in Macedonia. - 1 It will be recollected by our readers that soon • after the. death of the late Marquis of London derry we hazarded a conjecture that the Foreign Office would probably be confided to the Duke of Wellington, and at the same time we assigned such reasons as had occurred to us in support of our supposition. We now. find this conjecture re turned upon us by some of our contemporaries in the stripe of a positive sassertion that the office has been actually offered to the Duke; and that the 'Ministers have further determined, that while the Duke of Wellington presides over our fo reign relations, the management of the House of Commons is to be intrusted in " divided em pire" to Mr. Peel and Mr. Huskisson. The pro• bability of the appointment is no less strong now than when we first stated the supposi. tion, but our readers may be assured that no absolute arrangement will be made upon . the subject until his Majesty shall have met his Cabinet Council in London. There can be no doubt- that the present Ministers will stick to place, notwithstanding the loss of the !Lost efficient member of their party -the individual to whom they all looked for firm ness in. de.cision and promptitude in action. But • if:Parliament had happened to be sitting at the sad moment of Lord Londonderry's death, it is probable that the difficulty. now experience(' of finding a successor for the Noble MarquiS would have had but a momentary existence. The ranks of the Opposition are rich in talent for foreign di • plomacy, and in the hands of Lord Grey or Lord • Grenville, or the Martinis of Laasdown, the po litical interests of Great Britain. would not be be trayed by personal vanity, or be sacrificed to the • ambition of foreign despots. [THE 'f Ire E3.] Thera rages an intestine war among the Ra dicals, which can . hardly be otherwise than of good omen for the reputable friends of. English -liberty and, law. Johnson and Hunt are at open feud,. wherein much ink and anger have been already spilt on both sides: Johnson, shocked :at having it snpposcd that the paltry sum of 61.455. Bt. had discharged Hunt, I,vhorn he styles in derision " St. Henry of iichester," from all obligations towards himself,. writes 36 pages of invective against " St. Henry ;" and we must confess, if one half , of Johnson's facts be true, he shews the " saint" to be exceedingly selfish and. - slippery. The whole story, contained in a Letter addressed to Hunt, is one of pounds, shillings,, and pence ; of divers jour. neyings, borrowings, subscription-pocketings, ra dical processions, and triumphal entries, got up by Legerdemain and manceuvre—witnesses „starved, horse corn pilfered, and such like patriotic devices. ft is a glorious thing when these worthies fall outoince the ground is cleared of so touch rubbish, and the upright advocates of freedom and reform are thus left room enough to .a . ct in, undisturbed and unsuspected of evil com munications. If the cause of the Constitution were capable of being represented like Consols by poueds sterling, sure we are that it would rise full. 20 per eeet. on the demolition of these demagogues by each other. Their extinc tion ensures reinforcements to the reforming inte rest among the better classes of English Gentle men, as the temporary activity and success of these incendiaries never fail to alienate the timid and:to throw them into the arms of the common enemy. Let only the Radicals be set well at rest,.and, notwithstandieg the unfortunate corn position of the House of Commons, we shall see, • ere the lapse of three or four Sessions, a majority in favour of Reform. [NEW TIMES.] 17ae Timcs says,. it has been 64 grieved; and shocked, and disgusted," at what it is pleased to call " the coarse exultation of the populace," on the occasion of Lord Londonderry's funeral.— Grieved ?—Shocked ?—Disguste&?—ft requires an extraordinary degree - of charity not to set down this pretended grief to the account of rank hypocrisy it is extremely difficult to un derstand how The Times should be shocked, much •1P , , , s disgYsted, at an act done in the .very. spirit of its own daily attacks on the de parted" Statesman's character. Not only did that Jcurnal pursue Lord Londonderry with the wickedest calumnies to the very end of hislife, but even after the sad event, which should -- have disarmed all hostility—even so late as yesterday his memory Aith the most odious and unfounded imputations. Lt" asserted. that Fte had shewn himself " the tang tool,. of courtly trick, of military rapa el,- and: of heartless oppression that " be Voincurred and defended, every tact of out-1 rage to the weak, and of subserviency to desr; tic' power ;" that he wished " to put down the very love of liberty throughout Europe ;" and that " he uniformly helped to crush the rights of its inhabitants." What the surviving relatives, what the afflicted friends, what the former associates and coadjutors of the Noble Marquis may think, or how they may feel, at.the slanders thus heaped on his breathless and unburied corse, we know not : and their thoughts and feelings The Times manifestly sets at defiance. But we would ask, what effect these slanders must have produced ; what effect they must have been intended to pro duce on the class of persons by those yells and howlings the sad and sacred solemnity of last Tuesday was disturbed ? The individuals who committed this outrage were, no doubt, frequenters of the pot-houses were we find "The Times and Statesman taken in :" and to this besotted portion of its readers must The Times have addressed the venomous article of the 15th instant. To their blind prejudices and distempered passions alone was it suited : from their ignorance and credulity alone could it obtain a moment's credit. And if they believed it to be true, they must have believed Lord Londonderry to have been a wretch deserving universal execration, instead of being, as he was in reality, a liberal and enlightened Statesman, an upright and ho nourable man, a friend to his country and his king. We cannot therefore blame the deluded rabble for their ignorant antipathy to the Noble Marquis : we must blame the authors of their delusion. It was The Times, and papers like The Times, which caused religion and decency to be insulted, and the feelings of the afflicted mourners to be harrowed up by the brutal out rage of Tuesday. [HORNING CHRONICLE.] The sensible manner in which the body of the people of Scotland have conducted themselves, since his iTh.ijesty's appearance among them, is precisely what we anticipated. We knew that if there was no want of interested servility among the high Tories of that part of the Island, that if it would even be difficult to find their equal in any of the three Kingdoms, the people in general were too sensible, as well as too proud,' to forget what was due to themselves in discharging their obligation to the first Magistrate of the country. The British Constitution keeps the Sovereign so much out .of view, that we are hardly warranted in connecting him with any of the measuresof his reign, and it is only in proceedings like those which were instituted against the late Queen, that the Royal conduct can come under the public cognizance. A general and guarded expression of respectful loyalty, therefore, is all that a British subject can well pay to his Monarch without mixing himself up with the measures of an Administra tion. A knowledge of the private life of the Monarch is reserved fur the few who can boast of enjoying the Royal intimacy, and all allusion to it by those who are deprived of this advantage, is, to say the least of the matter, a piece of great presumption. We are sorry to see that those who have acted in the name of the Church of Scotland, an Establishment for which the Scots are so much indebted to the good sense, firmness, and bravery of their forefathers, and in the reputation of which (being as it is of such inestimable value to the country), every Scotsman in particular is deeply interested, should on this occasion have departed very widely from the path of propriety. We confess we are mortified beyond measure to think that the Address of this body should actually abound more in fulsome adulation than any of the last autumn's speeches of our more mercurial bre thren on the other side of the water. A little extravagance was almost pardonable in them,—and great allowance too ought to be made for the circumstances under which the parties came forward. But unthinking extrava gance is the last quality which the world would expect from a body like the Church of Scotland ; 1 and indeed the solemn and measured movement, the stately structure of the sonorous sentences of , this Address, prove that however heavy it may be, it was by no means an unlaboured production. When another De Foe shall think fit to favour the world with a new histoty of Addresses, he can hardly, we think, fail to do justice to the following superlative passage :—" We can not express what we feel, when within the precincts of your ancient kingdom of Scot land, we behold your Majesty in person—a King distinguished by every splendid endow ment, and graced by every elegant accomplish ment—at once the safeguard of our country, and the bulwark of our Church. From the first mo ment that your Majesty undertook the charge of public affairs, the Providence of God has beamed upon you with a bright effulgence."— But enough We refer our readers to the produc tion itself, which we have inserted elsewhere at length, as well as that of the Episcopal Church of Scotland, which certainly will not lose in the comparison with it. MORNING HERALD] Our recent inteiligeuce from abroad is more various than important. Accounts from Constan tinople represent the Porte as strongly disposed to peace, and even ready to enter into direct ne gociation with Russia. Reforms, too, of the Ottoman Administration, which should render the Turkish Sovereign more secure against the turbulent Janissaries, and enable the Govern ment to treat more freely with the European Governments, occupied public attention. The Seraglio, how ever, was divided into two parties, the one with Hatch Effendi, the present ;'avourite, at its head, in support of innovation ; the other as eagerly defending the ancient usages and institutions, but without present success.— Lord Strangford is stated to have boundless influence over the favourite Minister. It is some what singular, that though all thought of war with Russia is laid aside—even so far that the new Administration of the provinces has com menced under native Ilospodars—yet there is no intention of any effort to put down the Greek insurrection. Perhaps the campaign is left in a state of suspense upon an understanding: with the mediating power, until the approaching Congress, The Congress, too, is stated to be further postponed. It will be held at Vienna, not as hitherto supposed, at Verona.—An enor mous mass of official reports, with subjoined documents, has been put forth by the Commission appointed to inquire into the existence of " dema gogical intrigues" for the last ten years and up wards, in the German Universities. It is stated to be a cart-load of laborious nothings, which nobody reads, and every body laughs at.—The accounts from Vienna give a direct contradic tion to the reports, so long and so generally credited, of the restoration of the Jesuits in the Austrian dominions. They have, on the contrary, been forbidden .the empire, by the Council of State. This prohibition has been of some standing. The Jesuits, however, found means to evade it, by assuming the name of " Redemptorists." But they have been detect ed, and again expelled under their new title. It is further ordered, 'that within the heredi tary dominions of the Emperor, the educa tion of youth should in no instance be con fided to Monks. The reports of the illness, and even the death of the Pope, and the cer tainty that this can be no very distant - event, has revived, it is said, with more than usual keen ness; the political and ecclesiastical intrigues with which that prize i 3 sought. Austria naturally seeks to confirm and extend her dominion in Italy by the appointment of a Pope in her interest, and one of the Archdukes, who is a Cardinal, is spoken of as the probable successor.—The Spanish °Royalist insurgents still maintain themselves in Catalonia and Navarre, and an " official account " of the progress of Ge neral Quesada, in the latter province, has been published ; but this, it should be observed, is not the official report of any Spanish authority, but of Quesada himself :—or, perhaps, fabricated for him at Paris, or Bayonne. It is somewhat curious that at the moment of his pretended successes, the insurgent Junta had pronounced his removal from the command on the ground of incapacity.—The conspiracy of Belfort which excited such serious alarm in France, turns out, upon the, trial of the accused, to have been an unimportant and rather doubtful affair. Of twenty-three persons, accused of treason, nine teen are acquitted, and the remaining four convicted only of a minor offence, punishable by fine and imprisonment. NEW MARRIAGE ACT. Many of the inconveniences likely to result from the Act just passed for amending the provisions of the Marriage Act have been already pointed out in the public papers ; but there is one consequence which has not yet been publicly noticed, of so serious a nature, that we are quite sure it never could have been in the contemplation of the Legi slature. , By the provisions of this Act, it is required that, before the publication of banns of matrimony, there shall be delivered to the Minister, by the parties demanding such publication, au affidavit, stating the several particulars, therein specified, as to the names of the parties, residences, ages, &c. ; which names and residences, it is also required, shall be affixed on the Church-door, and shall remain so affixed until the expi ration of the three Sundays on which such banns shall be published. And, by a subsequent clause, it is enacted "that all and every the clauses in this Act, touching the publication of banns of matrimony, and touching marriages solemnized by such banns, shall commence arid have eifect on and after the Ist of September, 1822, and not before. Upon the latter clause a question arises, whether, on or after the Ist of September next, any Minister would be justified in, proceeding to solemnize a marriage, by virtue of banns previ ously published according to the present law; upon which a case has been submitted to a Counsel, whose opinion (with which we have been favoured) is, we regret to say, as follows : " I am of opinion that the Minister cannot require the re quisites of the new Act, with regard to the publication of banns, to be complied with prior to the Ist day of September; and 1 think the construction of this Act so doubtful, that it would be highly imprudent in him to solemnize any marriage whatever, on or after the Ist of September, by virtue of banns, howsoever he ore published. it is with reluctance that I give this ad vice, knowing that it may be productive of inconvenience to many persons ; but I am satisfied that it is the only safe course,' and I know that I am sanctioned in it by the concurrence of others of high professional eminence. STEPHEN LUSHINOTON. " Doctors' Commons Aug. 9, 1322." The consequence will be, that a re-publication of the banns for three Sundays, under the forms prescribed by the new Act, will in all such cases be requisite, before the marriage can take effect. _ _ We cannot forbear the acknowledgment that praise is due to the Minister and Vestry Clerk of St. Augustine's Parish, for the consideration that suggested the procurement of the opinion of the Learned Counsel, and for the promptness with which they have thus enabled us to communicate it to the public.—(Brirtol Observer.) PROTECTIO4 OF THE LANDED INTEREST:—,It is fitting that all Landed Proprietors on the sea coast should be informed that an inquisitorial ex amination of the rights. of frontage is now prose cuting on the part of the Crown, on the coast of this kingdom, and that a very considerable number of persons, by whose families the right of frontage has been exercised in Lincolnshire for more than a century past, have been actually en gaged in defending it, at the late Assizes held at Derby. FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—As Mr. Coopza, a me dical -gentleman, of Adam-street, Bryanstone square, was passing along Windmill-street, Hay market, about eight o'clock yesterday evening, he perceived a small child fall from the second floor window on its back close to his feet, and immediately turn on its face ; it never cried, nor skewed any symptoms of injury. Mr. COOPER, on examining the child, declared that it had re ceived no hurt—a fact which, extraordinary as it may seem, was fully confirmed by the subsequent examination of another practitioner. ExEctrloN.—On Friday last Rebecca Ed -wards, for the murder of her husband, by administering p o ison, underwent the dreadful sentence of the law in Monmouth, in presence of an immense concourse of spectators, who had re paired thither from all .quarters of that neighbour hood. Previous to her execution she caused an ad monitory paper to be circulated, cautioning others to take warning . by the sad example which was shortly to befal her, and earnestly beseeching them never to neglect their religious duty. On the scaffold she c ontinued to p ra y t o th e l as t, and, previous to the fatal mo men t arr i v i ng , s h e guilt; and the just st s h o candour e n c o t e n ti ce e ss , ed her which with fortitude she met; and after hanging the usual time she was delivered over to her relatives for interment,— (Hereford Paper.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THE REVEREND WILLIAM EYRE. WORSHIP-STREET.---The prisoner was yesterday brought to this office for final examination. About one o'clock, G. It. Mixsztin.t., Esq., one of the Police Magistrates of the office of Bow-street, arrived, being also a Magistrate for the county of Buckingham. The examination then took place in the parlour before this and two other Magistrates, SAMUEL TWYFORD and Jomr MILWARD, Esqrs. - - - Mr. Wir:xs, as solicitor, appeared on the part of the parish of St. Luke, and Mr. ALLEY, as Counsel, appeared with Mr. Haruor's Clerk, on the part of the prisoner. The whole of the evidence taken on a former day before Mr. Twyford was then read by the clerk, and all of the witnesses, except Johanna Quinlan, the little girl, confirmed the testimony before given. The little girl was then examined, de novo, and her evidence, with some variation from her former testimony, went to prove the crime alleged against the prisoner. She cried very much, and seemed very sensible of the judicious remarks which were made to her preceding her taking the oath. After some discussion, which took place by Mr. WILIIS and Mr. ALLEY, as to the nature of the offence, whether it was a capital offence under the statute of Elizabeth, or only a misde meanor at common law, Mr. Mixsuum. said,,he should re quest that Mr. Wilks would withdraw with the represen tatives of the parish, and deliberately consider whether it was their intention to indict for the capital offence, or for the misdemeanour. They were entitled to indict according to their own determination, but, as a Magistrate, it was for him to com mit according to his own discretion. Mr. WILES expressed a desire to adduce farther testimony as to the practices of the prisoner in other cases similar to the present. Mr. MiNsuu LC objected to receive any testimony but that which regarded the felony now charged. He would not hear any thing which generally applied to the character and habits of the prisoner, who ought to stand or fall solely upon the evi dence which applied to the crime for which he was now charged. Mr. Wilks then retired with the churchwardens and over seers of the parish, and soon afterwards returned. Mr. Mr xsuu LL.—llave you, Sir, consulted with the per. sons on whose part you are employed, and after deliberate con sideration, have they decided, with your advice, whether they intend to indict for the capital offence or for the misdemeanour? Mr. WILKS.—I have consulted with the churchwardens and overseers, and concurring with my advice, however painful it is to their and my own feelings, the determination is to in dict for the capital offence. Mr. ALLEY rose, and expressed his regret that he should have been applied to professionally upon a subject of this de scription. lie would rather have given 20 guineas than have been employed as counsel upon the present occasion. It was true, that every man was presumed to be innocent until found guilty, and therefore it was his duty to defend his client, and he must say, upon his honour, he did not think the evidence sufficient to commit for the capital offence. Mr MINSII um, observed, that after hearing the determina tion of the parish, with the advice of their Solicitor, so com petent to direct this prosecution, that they had decided to in dict for the capital offence, he had no discretion as a Magis trate but to commit for the capital offence. The prisoner now appeared under the greatest agitation ; he shed tears, and with all the earnestness of emotion, declared his innocence. Mr. Dyer, jun., the son of the worthy Magistrate, and whose twor the prisoner formerly stated himself to be, attend.. ed in the parlour. He appeared to consult with the prisoner for his . good, and to behave towards him, though fallen and degraded, with the greatest kindness. Mr. ALLEY then suggested that it might be convenient for the prisoner not to be committed to the county gaol of Bucking ham, but to remain committed to prison in Middlesex. Under all the circumstances, it might be advisable to produce the de positions before a Judge for the purpose of bail, and in that case it would save much expence, and be particularly convenient that the prisoner should not be committed to Aylesbury. Mr. IV ILKS could see no reason why the prisoner should not be committed to Aylesbury at once, but he did not mean to op pose the commitment suggested by the Learned Counsel. Mr. ALLEY said, he had not expressed much upon the pre sent occasion, but he thought there was a degree of severity ex ercised towards the prisoner. He was dragged from Bucking hamshire to Middlesex to answer for offences committed in the former County ; and now, though it was convenient for the prisoner to remain in town, the expediency was urged of his being committed into Buckinghamshire. Mr. WILES observed, that until the examination he was not aware of all the facts being committed in that county. Mr. Mr N suutr. then proposed it to the choice of the pri soner, and after consulting with Mr. Dyer, jun., he stated his wish to be committed to Newgate. Mr. MiNsituLL said, that in case of commitment to New gate he could only commit as a Middlesex magistrate, and therefore he trusted that Mr. 'fwyford would sign the commit ment. Mr. TwYrcinp said, he still remained unconvinced of the legality of his committing to Newgate for an offence done in another county, to which his commission did not extend ; but he would on this occasion comply on account of the practice so long used and acted upon at the Police Offices. Mr. MissituLL regretted that this course had not been pur sued in the first instance. The prisoner was then committed to Newgate for trial. QUEEN-SQUARE.—COUNTERFEIT SOVEREIGNS.—Jamcs Conway, a wretched-looking man, who said he was a barber and hairdresser, living at a chandler's shop in Duck-lane, was brought up from St. Margaret's watchhouse, on a charge of uttering a counterfeit sovereiq, and assaulting Mr. Jones, a publican, in Tothill-street. The complainant stated that the prisoner called at his house on Wednesday afternoon for half a pint of gin and a pot of porter, and tendered a sovereign, which he was told. was a bad one. He then became abusive, and was told to go about his business, but refused; and as the com plainant and his father were attempting to turn him out of the house, he struck them both, whereupon they took him to the watchhouse. The prisoner in his defence said, that having been out all the forenoon drinking, he returned home between three and four o'clock, and found a woman, named Mary Davenport, in his apartments with his wife, who gave him the sovereign to go and fetch them in some liquor. Ile went to two or three different houses for that purpose, and the sovereign was refused, and being a little intoxicated, and thinking the sovereign to be good gold, he grew angry, and in the scuffle struck Mr. Jones, for which he was very sorry. The woman alluded to by the pri soner being present at Ins examination, now came forward and confirmed his statement as to the sovereign, which she said was given to her by a Gentleman in the street. The only account she would give of herself was, that she was an unfortunate woman, without any fixed residence or place of abode, and that at present she was living with a friend in a court near the Butcher's-row, in Tottenham-court-road, the name of which she could not tell. The sovereign was extremely well executed, and would de ceive the eye of any common observer. On being cut, it ap peared to be made of a white composition of metals, probably plating and titanic ; and was so strongly gilded as to stand the test of aquafortis. It was, however, easily detected by ringing. Mr. Jones being satisfied with the prisoner's apology for the assault, he and his female friend were both discharged. STABBING.—Sarah Featherstone, an unfortunate cyprian, living in Leader-street ; Chelsea Common, was brought up by the watchhousekeeper of Knightsbridge, from whose statement, and that of Richard Jones, a watchman, it appeared that be tween ten and eleven o'clock on Wednesday night she was pushed into the watchhouse by two young men, one of whom, named John , Allen, living in Chapel-street, Portman Chapel, said, " She has stabbed me in the back, take charge of her while I go to a surgeon ;" and as he turned round it was per ceived that he was bleeding very much. He went to St. George's Hospital, and his wound being dressed, he was then conveyed home by a friend in a hackney coach.—The prisoner was remanded for further examination, when the wounded man or his friend can atiend. MARLEOROUGD-STREET.—SITICIrDIC PREVENTED.—A Mr. L—, a medical student, under twenty years of age, was brought to the office from the Bag of galls public-house in St. James's, under circumstances which were justified by hu manity. Ile had gone into the house alone and called for a glass of liquor, but the marked melancholy betrayed in his countenance induced some persons present to observe his ac tions, and he withdrew from his pocket a phial containing opium sufficient to have killed half a dozen persons. He was de tected in the act of pouring some of the liquid into his glass, and a constable was sent for, who brought him to the office.— Mr. ROE, the Magistrate, applauded the humanity of those who rescued the young man from death. But he had no juris diction in the case. lie, however, feelingly expostulated with Mr. L— on the subject, who said he felt the force of the ob servations, and he left the office profiting by the admonition.— The Wife of a Solicitor, who lives separate from him, applied to recover goods valued ' at 1001., which had been seized by a broker, and were then in the possession of the carman. The lady receives a handsome allowance from her husband, anti the brolter, she said, seized the goods under the pretence that he had not been paid for them.—Summons ordered._ GUILDIIALL.—EmBEzzLEmENT.—John O'Neil, a re spectable lad of 18, apprentice to Mr. David Parry, tobac conist, of Beech-street, Barbican, was charged by his master with embezzling, and conrertins4 to his owri use, iarious sums of mciney he had been entrusted to receive. The pzlmo - 4 0 1. appeared, had been sent out on Wednesday, 48 usuak - . 0 lect in sundry small debts, and on his return home, be" absence of a few hours, informed his master that he hau.,,„, / i unsuccessful, and had not received a. single bill. 10-7 - 1 9 having latterly had cause to entertain some suspicion_,o prisoner's integrity, he made out a small bill,- . araonaP t4 ',,o nineteen shillings., due from a neighbour, one of thasst o . whom O'Neil ha d been directed to call, ar.d sent it by the y man, who returned immediately with an answer that had been paid, and brought with him a written receipt 'Lid. amount, signed by the prisoner, and dated that very th; 1 0 - / As the individ ua l f rom w h om the prisoner received the ' .., l oth was not in attendance, th e - case cou ld not b e full" r 3e s ad and the worthy Alderman perceiving the prisoner in teat s '.. apparently deeply affe c t e d w i t h hi s s i tuation, huManell 7;0 advantage of this absence of evidence, called the proactl i ':.,o him, and suggested the dreadful consequences and-uttelisin; that must ensue to the prisoner, if the case was proceedn' inquiring, at the same time, if his conduct was such as . _,'" der it probable that this was hiS first offenee.—Mr; Pa m plied, that he had reason to suspect him of trifling a t t a ct . tions some time previously, and he feared that this 0 5 0 0. embezzlement had been carried on by the prisoner to a •L i . e t, derable extent.—Mr. Alderman BROWN expressed his libe but observed, that under such circumstances the case ro i t l eit for proceeded in ; and the. prisoner was accordingly remaau • further examination. gi HAT T ON-GARDEN.—F IRE -A Rms .—Th e i ns pectortifs io arms at the Tower attended for the purpose of identifYinhip fifteen stand of fire-arms which were found some day ''eri i r an empty house in Cursitor-street, Chancery-lane.
