Nothing official has reached the Portuguese Ambassador relative to the Mi guelite fleet, which is stated, in private accounts, to have been at Vigo on the 3d inst. The Members of the Conference assembled yesterday in Downing -street for the purpose of deliberating on the measures to be adopted to wards Holland, and particularly of hearing a note read which the Dutch Government had addressed to the Conference through Lord PAL MERSTON. If the determination, or obstinacy, or whatever else we may call it, of the Dutch KING had not been so conspicuous on every part of the Belgian Question, it might have been expected, after the menac es of our Cabinet, that the note alluded to would contain some proposition calculated to afford a pretext to the Cabinets of Great Britain and Franc e to suspend their preparations for coercive measures, and resume negociations 13 r the conclusion of a difference which they want either the will or the energy to settle b y a summary process. It cannot be said of the Dutch KING, however, that he has ever Justified an expectation that he would be in• duced by persuasion, or compelled by threats, to abat e the tone which he has maintained on the Belgian question. In the note which was read Yesterday to the Conference, he maintains his character for consistency, and defies, although not in direct words, the menaces of the parties Who have presumed to dictate to him the course Which h e ought to pursue towards his " revolted subjects." The note, like all the other notes that hav e Preceded it, is long and well written—if, in., de ed, we may app l y t h e term good writing to the ' ° ,Phistry and cunni ng o f D utc h di plomacy. The t ag of H OLLAND goes over the last proposals of the C onference for a treaty with Belgium h rti ele by article, an d a d vances against each what a e intend s should be conclusive in the way of shou ld) ; but l est t h e sages of Downing-street "Id) in their high opinion of their own his Powe rs o f argum ent , b e l ed into a belief that of Dutch M AJESTY can be reasoned out of any his r n i nA ,P °sit ians, he disti nct l y te ll s t h em that his his LL is made up ; that, strong in the integrity of Motive s will and i n t h e justice of his cause, he never consent to the prop osa l s o f t h e C on - Ter ence. There is, therefore, an end of all hope 58 conne c t e d w i t h negociation on the basis laid a c'vrn by the Five Powers, and which they so lemnly declared should be final and irrevocable. But does not the King of HOLLAND hold t'ut an intimation that, although he refuses to ecept what the Conference have offered, he may h e induced to lower some of the demands which Made at the commencement of the protocoliz tlg drama ? Have not the preparations at Ports -Inouth, and the movement of a French force to ards Belgium, h a d some effect on the n erves o f l. e Princ e o f Burgomasters? No : King WILLIAM talks as boldly, and emand as rhuundly, as if h e h ad the armies ofd Russia s and P russia within call, and ready to act at his bid ding. He is either a fool to stick thus to his point without a certainty of support, or we are fools to believe that he is not certain of support both from Russia and Prussia. How long is this state of things to last ? K►ng LEOPOLD, roused to the difficulties and dangers of his own situation, and aware that there is as great a chance of losing his crown by forfeiting the popularity without which he has no power to make head against the Republicans and Orangeists, as of havin ! 2- it wrested from him by any of the Holy Alliance gang, whom he may offend by not being sufficiently conservative, declares that he will go to war with Holland with or without the assistance of the ratifying Powers in the treaty, if something be not done quickly towards enforcing that treaty ; and the Belgians, anxious to wipe out the stain of their last de - feat, are every where exhibiting great enthusiasm for a contest with the " big breeches," and the recovery of the citadel of Antwerp, which, through the wily diplomacy of Prince LIEVEN, has been withheld from them. If the Conference do not move a little more quickly than they have lately done, the war in Europe may begin in spite of their protocols, and their notes, and their protestations. We are now told that the Prussian Govern. ment is become more friendly, and that, satisfied with the guarantees offered (what a disgrace to Great Britain and France to offer sureties to Prussia for their good behaviour) it will not op pose any obstacle to the entry of the French troops into Belgium. This may be the fact, but we do not believe it to be so. The Prussian Go vernment has a different game to play, and if more spirit be not shown on our side, it will soon throw off the mask, and prove that two years of protocolizing delay have strengthened the Holy Alliance, and weakened the chances of the friends of freedom. A private express has been received this morning from Paris, bringing letters and papers of Thursday's date. The Paris opposition papers, which have for the last week been most vehement against the new Cabinet, have become more pacific in their attacks. They contain no news of a political nature, and are principally filled with comments on the Congress of Ministers, and the policy France will adopt towards Belgium and Holland. The Duke de BROGLIE, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, has declared to all the foreign Ambassadors in Paris, that France and England have entered into a co-operative alliance to termi nate the question which has occupied the Con ference for the last eighteen months, with regard to Holland and Belgium, and that a fleet is on the point of sailing from Brest and Cherbourg to join the naval force of England. In case that the King of HOLLAND does not accede to the terms laid down by the Conference, Marshal GERARD and the French army, with the consent of the British Cabinet, are immediately to wet Bel gium to preserve the neutrality that has been agreed upon, as Belgium is to be considered a neutral Power. The Ambassadors of Russia, Prussia, and Austria have had daily interviews, and appear much opposed to any military inter ference on the part of France ; but Marshal SOULT is firm, and resolved on adopting deci sive measures, as the only means of keeping in office, for the juste-milieu system will never give satisfaction to the nation. A meeting of the Opposition Deputies was held at JACQUES LA FITTE'S on Wednesday ; they have entered into a treaty of alliance against the doctrinnaires on the assembling of the Chambers on the 19th of November. The KING holds a Cabinet Coun cil every day, and is resolved to support his son in-law, King LEOPOLD, in case King WIL LIAM of Holland should attempt an invasion of Belgium. Troops are marching for the northern frontiers. Intelligence has been received by telegraph that the troops of Don MIGUEL were retreating from the environs of Oporto, in consequence of the want of provisions, and the heavy rains setting in. Don PEDRO was strongly fortifying Oporto since the affair of the 29th ult. Paris continues tranquil, and much interest is excited as to whether war or peace will be the result of the naval expedition. The Funds are steady. The Swabian Mercury contains some in teresting particulars of the grand Military Re views which have lately taken place at Berlin. The Russians, it seems, were treated with more respect than any other nation. The following are extracts:— ST. PETERSBURG, OCT. 6.—Our Journal, contain very detailed accounts of the Emperor's tour through several Governments. Count Nesselrode has arrived from Witepsk, and Prince Meezikoff from Moscow. (From the Swabian Mercury.) BERLIN, OCT. I.—The grand reviews which are just ended afforded a new proof, if any were necessary, of the mo•t cordial friendship between Prussia and Russia. Cer tainly more than the half of the foreign officers who were present were Russians, and if they were not treated with greater politeness than the other strangers, yet in the at tention paid to them at Court and in the higher circles, a degree of intimacy was observed which is usually seen only with friends of the family. In other circles the pre ference seemed to be given to the English. It was remarkable that not a single French uniform was to be seen among the numerous suite that attended the King and the Princes or Generals command ing the corps. It is however known, that French officers were present, but they observed the strictest incognito; why, is not known. In the same manner, the reception which Lord Durham lately meet with here was very different from that which Count Pozzo di 13,rg0 had experienced a little before. All the honours were undoubtedly shown to the English Ambassador that are due to a man of his rank, the representative of one of the most powerful monarchs in the world. But to those who have opportunities of oh-- serving what passes at Court, and elsewhere, it ap peared that the respect paid to Lord Durham was only such as etiquette required ; whereas the m ost illustrious personages seemed to take pains to behave with friendly familiarity to the Ambassador of the Emperor Nicholas. In order to complete the comparison, people are looking for the arrival of Marshal Mortier, who is exp ecte d to come by the steam- b oat to Stettin. The delay of the King's visit to Toplitz has given rise to many conject ures , one of wh i ch is that a meet i ng is intended with the Emperor Francis at Prague. No doubt is entertained that Courts, which may be considered as the main sup porters of the pure monarchical principle, contemplate a more intima te un i on for the maintenance of this principle. Now there are several questions, especially that relative to Poland, in which there are differences of opinion between the great C a bi nets, and the solution of which may be faci litated by the m eet i ng of the two Monarchs, who are united by bonds of such intimate personal friendship. BasitLlN, Ocz. 10.—Tbe following persons belonging to the suite of the Count de Parthieu have passed through Berlin on their way to Frankfort on the Oder; the Dukes of Polignac and Blacas, Baron llamas, Marquis de Fores tier, Abbe de Meligny, and M. de Berende, tutors of the Duke of Bourdeaux ; two young Counts of Grammont, the Abbes Bonard and Bourdev:fle, Captain Guiynard, and Dr. Bougon.

The following are extracts from German Pa pers received this morning : TURKEY. (From the Monitory- Ottoman of Sept. 1.) According to the latest accounts from the Grand Vizier relative to the Bosnian rebels, the last remains of whom were dispersed in small bands, those who continued to in fest the country were successively taken and shot, whereas those who submitted were pardoned, and sent to their homes. Tranquillity is every where wholly restored. The last act of rebellion was committed by Hussein Vekli, who shut himself up in a little frontier place called lidschik, where he thought to hold out till succour came. The Grand Vizier sent seine troops to attack him. When he found himself surrounded on all sides, and besieged, he submitted, without waiting to be attacked, and he and his followers had their lives spared. The Saudjaks of Okhri, Elb-assau, Ducakin, Priemen, and Uskiub, which compose the territory of the Gbekas- Albanians, are covered with old fortresses, which were erected at a period of perpetual warfare, when the inhabi tants, constantly prepared for combat, found it necessary to have every where places of rendezvous and re treat against the attacks with which they were perpetually threatened. Since that time these nu merous forts scattered over the country, which are useless in regular warfare, on account of their dilapitated state, have served only to facilitate the operations of the criminals who, from time to time, have disturbed the peace of the country. This was felt by the majority of the inhabitants, and, at the instance of the Grand Vizier, an Imperial Order has been issued, commanding the pulling down of these old dilapidated fortresses. Those of Scodra, Alkan, Bar, and some others will be preserved, as really necessary for the present defence of the country. TRIESTE, OCT. I.—Our merchants have received notice from the Government, that the hlorkade of the ports of Egypt and Syria, declared by the Porte during the rebel lion of Mehemed Ali, is recognised, and they are to act accordingly. Letters from Syria confirm the news of the victory obtained by the Egyptian fleet over that of the Porte, in the vicinity of Cyprus. FRANKFURT, OCT. 4.—The German Diet has required from the Governments of all the States of the Confedera tion the communication of all the existing laws and ordi nances against the invasio❑ of copyright, surreptitious and piratical printing, and they will be used as the materials on which the new and general law on the subject will be founded. As the respective Governments have been re quested to lose no time, but to send their communications as speedily as possible, it is hoped that we may shortly expect the promulgation of this much-d-sired and useful law, which we bear will be most strictly enforced. BERLIN, OCT. 9.—The Medical Society of Berlin has resolved to propose a prize for the best treatise on the origin, nature, and cure of the Asiatic cholera.—Frank fort Papers, Oct. 13. We give in another column a communication of Lord GODERICH'S to the Government of Trinidad, on the subject of the so much abused Order in Council respecting the slaves. His Lord ship completely and satisfactorily, we think, an swers the objection made to it, as well as sets at rest some other points on which the advocates of slavery have long delighted to dwell. We more particularly allude to the assertions that slaves would not work unless compelled, that they were not to be acted upon by the hope of reward, and that if set free they would endeavour to live in a state of idleness, supporting themselves by any thing but labour. What says Lord GODE RICH, " The works of the engineer department were executed at Berbice, and the Lieutenant Governor's residence there was built by the vo luntary labour of hired slaves. And the Crown negroes in British Guiana, who have recently been made free, have since their liberation em ployed themselves in working for wages under the commanding officer of engineers." His Lordship mentions several other cases, which establishes the fact beyond a doubt ; if, indeed, any one but a planter wants proof of negroes being men, to be acted upon by the same motives as other men. The Committee of Management formed by Captain Ross's friends for arranging the plan of the expedition to rescue that intrepid navigator and his adventurous companions from their pre sent perilous situation, have, it will be seen by the advertisement in to-day's Paper, resolved to appeal to the public for assistance in obtaining the sum of 3,0001. required by his Majesty's Government to be raised before it advances the 2,0001. it has undertaken to grant upon that condition. That the money would have been subscribed by Captain Ross's personal friends, as was originally intended, no one, knowing the esteem and kindly feelings which all acquainted with him entertain towards him, can doubt ; but they have rightly judged that, as the object was British, and not individual, the public would be glad to take advantage of the opportunity to manifest its feelings. It would augur ill for England's welfare that her people should show indifference upon a matter of this kind. It would show a falling-off in that pride we ought all to feel, in claiming for countrymen the brave men whose courage and enterprise have subdued dif ficulties which no people of the ancient world dared to encounter. Indeed, we doubt not that the superiority of Britain will be more marked to posterity by such efforts of moral courage as those of Ross and PARRY, than even by our Tlendid deeds of arms. It is just that it should be so, for the one is always the triumph of reason, the other, often of brute force. As the Hague Papers of Tuesday, and the Amsterdam Journals of Wednesday, are wholly silent on the King's Speech to the States-General, which arrived here in a separate sheet of printed paper, perfectly discon nected with the diurnal Press, though printed immediately after the delivery from the throne, it may be inferred that the Dutch Government, after the arrival of the couriers from Berlin and London, perceiving the altered situation Holland was thereby placed in, felt it expedient to inter dict the publication of the King's Speech for a time, con templating then already the two notes which arrived by the At/wood on Thursday, and were to be laid before the Conference today, and of which the KING could have had no idea at the time when the Speech was arranged. Indeed the non-publication of this important document in the usual channels of information cannot be explained or ac counted for in any other way. HAY MARKETS. —(At per Load of 36 Trusses.)

William Richard Glazier, aged 52, described in the calendar as a conveyancer, a person of a gentlemanly ap pearance, was indicted for uttering a forged power of at torney for the transfer of 4361. 16s. in the 4 per cent. annuities, standing in the joint names of himself and Gamaliel Butler, with intent to defraud the Bank of England. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty to all the cou Its of the indictment but the last, and to that he pleaded Guilty. L charged him with demanding the transfer of !tuck under the colour of a forged power of attorney, he knoxing it to be forged. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL—That offence, I believe, under the Act of Parliament, is not capital. Mr. CLAnKsoN 7 -No, my Lord. - . Mr. FOLLETT addressed the Jury for the prosecution, and said that the last count in the indictment would no. come under their consideration, because the prisoner had pleaded guilty to that part, and the offence in that count was not of a capital nature. The other counts however to which he had pleaded not guilty were of a capital na ture, as the Jury were probably aware that the Le gislature thought fit during the last Session, while altering the laws regarding the punishment of deat' in casts of forgery, to retain the capital punish ment in cases of forging and uttering forged powers of attorney for the payment of public stock. The Learned Counsel, however, thought, as the prisoner had pleaded Guilty to the last count, that he should best dis charge his duty to the public if he refrained from offering any evidence on the capital parts of the indictment, for there were some circumstances in the case which rendered it unnecessary to proceed capitally, particularly as it took place in April, 1830, some time before the passing of the last Act of Parliament. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE told the Jury that as no evi dence was offered for the prosecution, the prisoner was en titled to an acquittal on the counts to which he had pleaded Not Guilty. The Jury found a verdict of Not Guilty, and the pri soner was removed from the bar. Alexander Edward IVatkin Hayes, aged 24, de scribed as a clerk, was indicated for uttering a forged 61. note with intent to defraud the Bank of England ; he wa,. charged in another count with uttering it with intent to defraud Henry Simpson. Mr. FOLLETT stated the case for the prosecution. Mr. Henry Simpson, hosier and glover, of New-street, Covent-Garden, stated that the prisoner came to his shop on the evening of the Ist of October, and asked for a green silk handkerchief with an orange border. Witnes said he had not one of that kind. He then asked to look at some black silk handkerchiefs, and witness showed him some ; two of which be agreed to purchase at 4s. 6d. each, and also another handkerchief for 3s. 6d. He tendered in payment a 51. note, which witness immediately perceived was a forgery. Witness detained him in conversation, but be appeared agitated and desirous of leaving the shop. Witness asked his a.ldress, and he gave it as Edward Wat kins, No. 1, New-street, Cannon street-road. \V tne-s, holding the note, said, " This is a forgery, and you know it." Prisoner said, " For Gorl's sake, don't make any noise ; can I speak to you in your private room ?" Wit ness desired him to walk into the back room, and when there the prisoner said, " I hope you don't consider I am a passer of forged notes." Witness said he did not knots what he was, but he must see, and asked him how mans more he had about him. Prisoner remarked, "Don't you think lam innocent." Witness repeated his question, and the prisoner said he bad but one more, and taking out his note case, showed it to witness. Witness took it and perceived that it was a'so a forgery. Witness gave bin. into the custody of a policeman. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS-Did not bear the prisoner on the read to the station house propose to take the policeman, and show him the person from whom he had the notes. The prisoner said he had got the notes a a house in Wych.street, Strand. Francis Reynold, a policeman, took charge of the pri goner in Mr. Simpson's back parlour. O❑ searching him be found only some silver and halfpence, eatl a note-case. Witness received the two forged notes of Mr. Simpson now produced. On taking the prisoner from the station house to Bow-street, he said if witness would let him w..lk on before, he would show him the public• house where he got the notes. Witness asked for the sign of the honse, hut he said he could not tell bim. Witness would not let him walk on berme for fear he should run away. Cross-examined—He did not state the street in which the public-house was, but he said there were tire other young men in the house at the time. Mr. John Till, of No. 1, New-street, Cannon.street road, stated that he had lived there for many years, and he stated that the prisoner never lived in that house durin g the time he occupied the house. Witness had often seer, the prisoner in the street, and had known his father fiv, or six years. Cross-examined—Had often spoken to the prisoner. His father kept a public-house formerly, but was now dead, and witness bad often seen the prisoner in his fa ther's house. The prisoner had never visited witness or his family, nor had prisoner to witness's knowledge come to his house at any time. Had a lodger named Davidson, and believed the prisoner had visited Davidson. William Francis Middleton, watchmaker in the Com mercial road, stated, that a person, whom he believed to be the prisoner, called at bis shop on the 27th August, and asked to look at a gold chain, the price of which wa. five guineas. The prisoner said it was too much, and asked to look at some seals, one of which he selected, the price of which was 355. There was another person with the prisoner. They talked together, and then the prisoner offered a guinea and a half, which witness agreed to take; the prisoner then tendered a 51. note; witness asked his name and address, and wrote it en the back of the not,: now produced—" 11r. Evans, No. 1, Kerser-street ;' witness asked him where Kerser-street was, and he said "at the top of Cinnon-street-road." Witness then gave him the seal, and in change, three sovereigns and Bs. 6d. Cross-examined—Was V at the examination at Bow street last Monday week; refused to swear to the prisoner, because when he tendered the 51. note he had whiskers, and when at Bow-street he was without whiskers, whicl made a very great alteration in him. It was five weeks after witness received the note that he discovered it was a forgery. John Warner, shop-boy to the last witness, remember,d the two persons coming to his master's shop on the 27th of August, and identified the prisoner as having been on, of them. The witness was sent to find out the prisoner, at No. 1, Kerser-street, but could not find out any such street. Mr. Joshua Freeman, an Inspector of Bank notes to the Bank of England, pronouced the two notes produced by Mr. Simpson and that produced by Mr. Middleton, to be forgeries, and all apparently from the same plate. The prisoner put in a long written defence. He said. that being possessed of a small independence, and having much leisure time, he frequented many places of public resort. At one of those places be met with one young man with whom he became intimate ; on the morning of the day on which be was taken he met that person, and they agreed to pass that evening together. In the evening he met that person and two others at the Peacock Ta vern, Maiden-lane, and while there one of them asked him to go and buy some silk handkerchiefs for him, which he consented to do, and he was given a 51. note to pay fo► them; another of the company asked him to execute a si milar commission, and also gave him a Si. note ; he added that he then went to Mr. Simpson's shop to buy the hand kerchiefs, when he was stopped on the present charge. He wished the policeman to go with him to the public house in Maiden-lane, where he could have found the per eons of whom he had the notes, but the policeman refused to go there. Henry Hammond, a waiter at the Peacock, stated that he recollected four young men coming there on the evening of the Ist of October ; but as he could not identify the prisoner as being one of them, his evidence was rejected. The prisoner had a most excellent character given of him from a number of very respectable persons, who had known him many years. Mr. Justice PARKS having summed up the evidence, The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his previous good character, in which recommendation the prosecutor strongly joined. Mr. Justice PARKE said the recommendation should be forwarded to his Majesty. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 19. This morning, at an early hour, the Arrow steamer took in tow the ship Wellington, having on hoard ninety horses, and twenty officers, one hundred men, three hun dred cbaldrous of coals, a very large quantity of army ac coutrements, and warlike stores of every description, for the service of Don Pedro, and proceeded with her down the channel, with a favourable wind from the north-east. During the stay of the officers in the town, they have uni formly conducted themselves in a manner that reflects the greatest credit on them, both as gentlemen and sol diers. It is considered it will be a great acquisition to the forces of Don Pedro. We have witnessed, with admira tion, the very great exertions of the agent at this port, in despatching the ships and stores, at different times. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

We have an exceedingly blank morning for intelligence, only one arrival from Calcutta, and that of an old date ; this dearth of information causes a stagnation of the specu lations in the fun4s. Consols opend at the same price they left off at yesterday, 83Y 8 for the Account. Great anxiety prevails for accounts direct from the theatre of war in Portugal. In the Foreign Market not a bargain doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. To the present hour of writing we are quite dull in the city for want of information respecting the affairs of Portugal and the Dutch question. It is now reported, that the King of Holland makes a demand that all foreign ves• eels arriving at the miuth of the Scheldt, with their cargoes, are not to proceed up that river, but their cargoes are to be taken out, and put on board Dutch small craft, to be conveyed up the Scheldt. It is 21 days since the last accounts were received from Oporto, and it is rather extraordinary that we have no official news from the theatre of war in that quarter, by the way of France, although the letter received yester day fron Madrid of the retreat of Don Miguel's army gains credit in the City, and in consequence of which the Portuguese Scrip has improved , report says that Don Pedro's ship (the Wellington)) was still in the Downs, owing to no agent being on board to agree with the seamen in respect to their pay, in consequence of which a number of them have gone ashore. W e give the above only as a report. Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at 83i for the Account, have improved to 83/ 84, with little doing. We do not us yet hear of an express from Paris, but it is reported that the Rentes come lower. Nothing has as yet transpired respecting the result of the Confer ences held yesterday, respecting the two notes sent to them from the Hague. Dutch Stock, which had improved in the early part of the day, is not so good ; at present Portuguese Scrip is looking up. THREE (1' CLOCK. Consols for Account, Siti 84. NEW COURT. Two men, named Williams and Laurence, were in• dieted for stealing from the Police Station- house, Charlotte street, Bloomsbury, a large quantity of police clothes, the property of his Mak'sty ; and two persons named Cohen, father and son, were indicted for receiving the same, knowing them to be stolen. Mr. AnoLrnus stated the case to the Jury on behalf of the prosecution. Policeman 75 E, stated, that he lodged at the sta tion-house, Charlotte-street, Bloomsbury. On the night of the 27th of September, about 11 o'clock, all the clothes usually kept at the station-house were in perfect safety.— Witness shortly afterwards left, and in about half an hour received information that wearing-apparel belonging to the police was lying about the streets. Harriet Wilkins, an unfortunate girl, knew the prisonets Williams and Laurence. On the 27th of September taw em in New street, Covent-garden, whore they treated her with several glasses of gilt, and Williams promised to meet her again in half an hour. He met her again at the corner of Plumtree-street, St. Giles's, about half past one o'clock in the morning. Witness, at the request of Williams went to call a cab, but could not find one on the rank ; on returning found that the prisoners had pro cured one, and asked them to let her ride ; this was agreed to and the cab was driven to Eagle-street, Holborn. There was a basket and a bundle in the cab, but witness was not aware of their contents. On arriving at Eagle street Lawrence took out the bundle but returned immedi ately, stating that his brother was in bid, and they must go somewhere eke. The cab was afterwards driven to Safron-bill, where Williams, Laurence and witness got out and took in the bundle and basket ; had been there about an hour when three policemen came and took them all, together with the two Cohens, at whose house they were taken into custody. The bundle and basket were taken from under the bed, but witness did not see what they contained. Witness believed the basket was empty. By Mr. Bonxm, who appeired for WilliamQ—Never saw any of the prisoners before the night in quesion. Williams was very much in liquor when he first saw wit ness in Covent-garden, and afterwards drank several glasses of gin with her. He promised to return in half an hour when he left. By Mr. PHILLIPS, who appeared for Laurence.—On going to Cohen's house the things were removed into the room where witness was sitting. The two Cohen's, dar ing the hour witness was waiting there, made no attempt to remove any thing. A policeman named Isaacs came to the house, when one of the Cohen's said, 4 . Well, Isaacs, ,vhat is this about the things ?" Afterwards they went to the door, and shortly after returned into the room. George Hill was the driver of cab 111, on the ❑ight of the 27th of September, was called off the rank in St. Giles's, by the prisoner Laurence, at whose request he first drove to Dyott-street. Williams there joined them, and put a hun Ile and basket in the cab—both prisoners then got in. Last witness came tip, and said, "good bye, Bill," meaning Williams. She afterwards asked them to let her have a ride, which witness objected to, but Williams igreeing to pay for the extra person, witness told her to jump in. Witness then drove them to Turk -street, Bloomsbury, where Laurence got out, but immediately re turned, stating that his brother was in bed, and he could not get in. Williams then stated that he knew a place on Saffron-hill. Witness then drove there. Williams asked what the fare was, and on being told Ss. 6d. he said he must borrow some from his friends, meaning the Cohens. The younger Cohen paid witness, and Williams gave him a shilling to get something to drink. William Hills, a waterman on the coach stand in St. Giles's. After the last witness went off with his cab, wit ness went up Dyott-street, and there saw several clothes at the step of a door, which he picked up. A lady and gentleman picked some up, which were brought to the state :-house. Policeman No. 23, division E, went, in company with some other policemen, to Cohen's house. On witness going in, the younger Cohen said, " Well, Isaacs, what about those things ?" at the same time mentioning to wit ness to go into the passage ; the question was again repeated and witness said if they are here show them to me, and on going into the room he pointed under the bed, from which witness pulled a police great-coat. Witness said more than that had been lost, and asked if more was not there. Cohen then pointed to another bed, under which two more coats were found. Cohen said Williams had brought the articles there, which they did not deny. Thomas Buttress, 142 E, bole out the statements of the last witness ; and several other policemen proved that the various articles produced were clothing belonging to the New Police. Williams, in his defence, solemnly denied all knowlehe of the robbery, stating that in going up Plumptree-street he fell over a basket, and a short distance further he found a bundle. He and Laurence got a cab, intending to take them to Laurence's brother in the morning, to ste if a re ward would not be offered. Laurence made a similar defence. The two Cohens denied all knowledge of the pr,pei ty found on their premises being stolen. Mr. Shears, a tailor, residing in Craven-street, gave the prisoner Williams an excellent character. He had been in the habit of paying him a weekly allowance from his friends, and by that means was continually in the habit of seeing him. Several witnesses gave the Cohens a good character. The COMMON SERJEANT summed up very elaborately, and the Jury, after deliberating for a few minutes, found ill the prisoners guilty. The Common Serjeant sen tenced Williams and Laurence to seven years, and the two Cohens to fourteen years' transportation. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) John Baylis was indicted for, on the 21st September, assaulting Thomas Grafton, one of the Superintendants of Out-door Poor, in the parish of Islington. Mr. Grafton, on the day named, attended at the work house at 7 o'clock in the morning to set the poor to work. He bad sent out seven trucks, and one man being wanted for the eighth, he ordered the prisoner to go with it. He said, using some beastly language, that he would not. The prosecutor then said, " If you do not, you shall do nothing else to-day;" and walked away towards the boost. He had only got to the gate when Baylis struck him such a blow as knocked him down ; while he was falling, the prisoner again caught him a tremendous blow on the face. These two blows and the fall rendered him insensible, and from that time till the present he had not been able to do anything, and he felt such internal pain that he feared it would yet prove fatal. John King, one of the inmates of the poorhouse, saw the prisoner strike Mr. Grafton the two blows as de scribed by him. After Mr. G. was on the ground he lay like dead, when the prisoner stepped over him, and taking hold of him by the sides of the head, knocked it re peatedly against the stones. He helped to take up Mr. Grafton, and carried him into the lodge. His nose was bleeding very much, also the back of his head, and blood was issuing from both ears. He was quite insensible, and remained so for some time. Thomas Durnford corroborated the last witness. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he did not re fuse to go with the truck, but wished to go with one that younger men were going with. He threw his shovel to one of the men, and said he would follow soon. Mr. Grafton said, "Now, Baylis, you shall not do any thing to-day for throwing away that shovel," and called hits some very bad names which were disgraceful, and angered him, when he did strike him. He had several witnesses who would prove that he was provoked by Mr. Grafton, and severely ill-used afterwards. The prisoner then called three men who were present. While one was under examination the others were ordered out of Court. They all gave different accounts of the matter, except in one phrase, which they all alleged was used by Mr. Grafton. The prosecutor positively swore that he did not use one of the words imputed to him. The Jury instantly found him Guilty, and the CHAIR MAN sentenced him to four months' imprisonment and hard labour. Several most trifling cases of larceny were tried in the morning. One a young boy, for stealing a pennyworth of pears, which were exposed outside of the door for sale. In this case Mr. Const refused to allow the expenses, and said it was not right for constables to bring forward such trumpery cases. A girl of 13 years was tried for stealing a coffee-pot, value 6d., and seven plates value 4d. ; when produced they turned out to be mere toys. The Jury found her Not Guilty, as they were aware all the things could be bought for one half the money charged in the indictment. I now come back to this delightful and beau tiful city. I thought that Bristol, taking in its heights and Clifton and its rocks and its river, was the finest city in the world ; but Edinburgh with its castle, its hills, its pretty little sea-port, conveniently detached from it, its vale of rich land lying all around, its lofty hills in the back ground, its views across the Frith ; I think little of its streets and its rows of fine houses, though all built of stone, and though every thing in London and Bath is beggary to these; I thing nothing of Holyrood House; but I think a great deal of the fine and well-ordered streets t still k of shops ; o f th e regu l ar i ty w hi c h you perce iv e . every iwnohreereofinthe absence themanag o e f m al e l ofhntatt busiiress;and I h foppishness, and t ha affecta tion of carelessness, and that insolent assumption of supe riority, that you see in almost all the young men that you meet with in the fashionable parts of the great towns in England. I was not disappointed ; for I expected to find Edinburgh the finest city in the kingdom. Conver s itions at Newcastle, and with many Scotch gentlemen fur years past, had prepared me for this; but still the reality has greatly surpassed every idea that I had formed about it. The people, however, still exceed the place; here all is civility ; you do not meet with rudeness, or even with the want of a disposition to oblige, even in persons in the lowest state of life. A friend took me round the environs of the city ; he had a turnpike ticket, received at the first gate, which cleared five or six ga , es. It was softie!, nt for him to tell the future gate-keepers that he had it. \VI., ir I saw that, I said to myself, " Nota bene : Gate ors take people's word in Scotland; a thing that I have tot seen before since I feft Long Island."—.
