FRENCH PAPERS. CIRCULAR. Tut MINISTER OF JUSTICE TO THE PROCUREUR GENERAL OF THE TOWN OF --- PARIS, JULY 2. SIR,—It is the duty of every Government to protect the Constitution of the country from the attacks of those who endeavour to destroy it, and fron the insults used to discredit it. Respect to the Coestitutional Charter of 1830, and to the national thane established by it, is ordained by the laws. Every attack levelled at those two bases of our public rights must be visited will punishment, in the interest of the public peace. The Press, parti cularly the Journals, has in later times outstripped the limits of discussion. I have no need to press upon you to institute fresh proceedings against the cynical attacks, of which the very person of the Prince has, more than once, been the object, from the enemies of our constitutional order ; public contempt is not sufficient to prevent the renewal of these outrages, dictated and caught up by the worst passions. The severe application of the penal laws is necessary to like disorders; but there are other abuses to which it is fitting to call your attention. Instead of con fining themselves to criticising the doctrines and acts of Government, some writers, exciting one an other by a deplorable emulation, have called the very principle and essence of government in ques tion. Every day has witnessed public provocations to some fresh restoration of the fallen regime and the royalty of divine right, or calls for the establish ment of a republican system, the theories of which are sought to be rendered predominant over those of our Constitutional Monarchy. The licentious ness of these open enemies has produced its fruits. Provocatory language has been followed by hostile acts, and Paris and the West have witnessed bloody disorders realized by men who believed it possible to do whatever so many writers advised. The blood shed, and the necessity of securing internal peace, require the p u ttin g a st o p to disorders which have lasted too long, and which would tend to weaken the confidence of the people in the salutary doctrine of th e lib ert y o f t h e press. The liberty of the press does not go so far as to allow open de clarations of refusal to acknowledge the Govern ment and Charter of 1830, or to authorize public provocation to the violation of the laws; it does not go the length of permitting expressions of con tempt for our institutions, or advice to anni hilate them. Were impunity to shield the words of those who proclaim the legitimacy of the fallen dynasty, what right would there be to punish those who might attempt, by secret plot ting or open appeals to a rm s , to r estore their domi nion over France ? Were it lawful to say a repub lic is b e tt er su i te d to F rance t h an monarc hy, w h at right would exist of putting down those who, ac cording to this theory, might appear in arms to found One? It cannot be thus—and if the right of con trolling, by free discussion, the acts of the responsible authorities be the constitutional right of every citizen, to deny or call in question the very principle of our G overnment is still an offence, when acts of rebel lion, springing out of guilty provocation, do not im part to them the character of crimes. A country Whose laws are so obscure, that a writer Writer convicted of attacks against the princi ples of the Constitution and the essence of Govern ment could not ye found guilty, would be a prey to cons tant and incessant dangers. Long impunity of those who should proclaim the necessity of a new r egime would bring on, as its inevitable conse quence, attempts in favour of that regime. Fatal trials have demonstrated the numerous evils the ne glect of these truths must bring on. French blood has been shed by French hands, and the vilest crimes have been mixed up with the griefs of a civil war. None will dare to p reten d t h at i n t h e po li t i ca l depra vity which, looking lightly on every crime, has pre luded, in La Vendee as at Paris, civil war by assassi• nation, daily predications in favour of the fallen dynasty or a Republican Government have not excited many to take up arms, and exercised the most deplorable influence. Respect for the public tranquillity forbids to allow writers, enemies of our constitutional or d er , to make fresh and daily appeals to such dreadful experiments. The Government would be wanting in their most imperative duties were they to tolerate them any longer. You will not hesitate, Sir, to avail yourself of all the powers afforded by the law s against the offences I have pointed out. Ex- Perience, the patriotism of juries, will teach them to U nderstand that liberty is compromised by impunity allowed to licentiousness, and that the consolidation Of the constitutional throne is necessary to the de velopement of our national institutions. The cause of civilization is to be defended against anarchy ; the Government chosen by the country is to be St rengthened by the judgment of the country against the attacks of those who would favour culpable trials at new Governments, and risk the overthrow of so cial order. You will bear these instructions well in mind; they are comprised in these words :—Full liberty t o di scuss t h e acts o f G overnment, but the rigorous repression of writers who pretend to find in the Charter a right to deny the Charter itself, and who, by their attacks against the principle of our Government, would draw dangerous agitation and bloody disorders upon the country.---Accept, &c. The Keeper of the Seals, BARTHE. Of the existing " haute aristocratic" it is curious that no fewer than six Ducal Peers are widowers, with families. These are—the Dukes of WELLINGTON, NORFOLK, RUTLAND, NEWCASTLE, SOMERSET, and GRAFTON. The Dukes of DEVONSHIRE and DORSET were never married. Consequently, there is a scarcity of Duchesses among the nobility. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday last, while the carriage of T. W. GIFFARD, Esq. was left during the races, in the inn-yard, at Ludlow, a fowl, which seemed to have an aristocratic taste for a roosting place, perched upon the drag-chain tinder the vehicle. In the evening, after the races were over, the carriage was ordered out and drove off with the feathered sleeper, quite undisturbed, for Chilligton. About nine miles out of Lud low, the servant wanting ;he drag-chain, discovered the uninvited traveller, snoozing quite comfortably, to the no small amusement of the party.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. THE HIMALAYA MOUNTAINS.—Captain SKINNER'S narrative of his adventures in the East, com prising among various other interesting features the ac count of a Pedestrian Tour over this vast range, is now nearly ready for publication. This region was known to the ancients by the nart.es of linaus and the Indian Caucasus. The present appellation " Himalaya," is a Sanscrit word, signifying snowy. The grand and stupen dous scenery of the above portion of the Asiatic conti nent—the sudden vicissitude of climate peculiar to it—its natural productions—the diversions afforded to the sports man, by the tiger, the bear, and other animals ; and the many " disastrous chances" which await the adventurer in his wanderings —are said to he detailed with great spirit in Captain Skinner's forthcomi-g work, which is, it seems, to be entitled " Excursions in India." COVENT -GARDEN THEATRE.—PAGANINI gave the first of four concerts last ni bt, and it was well attended. Th e pit and galleries wereg filled at once, and the dress circle made a very handsome display,but in the rest of the box es t h e company sat scatterinl On his first appearance th ere was a disposition in g part Y. of the house to hiss him; an d poor Sir GEORGE SMART, who left the piano-forte to usher in the Signor, seemed to fancy that the symptoms of hostility were meant fur him—whereas no man, for anythin g he did, could deserve less either of disapprobation or applause. The opposition was soon overcome, and John Bull acknowledg e d the truth of CHURCHILL'S axiom, that " Genius is of no country." He then gave an allegro inaestoso concerto, which he has before performed, and which we could hear we know not how often without being tired of it : this was delightful but not wonderful. His second effort was the sonata on the prayer in Pietro l'Eremita, performed on the fourth string only. The most astonishing exhibi tion was, perhaps, the Dance of the Witches of Benevento. The whole night's entertainment went off with great ap plause, as far as concerned the principal party—hut Miss SHIRREFF, Mr. WiLsoN, MoRI,Ev, and a Signora PrsTßAtra, whose aid was called in rather to fill up time than to afford amusement, shared comparatively little of th e p u bli c approbation. We certainly never heitrd Miss SUMMIT sing so indifferently. STATE OF IRELAND.

A desultory discussion took place last night in the House of Commons on the subject of a supply of pure water for the metropolis. Lord ALTIIORP made a motion to the effect that a sum not exceeding a thousand pounds be granted for the purpose of enabling Mr. TELFORD to continue the necessary surveys. His Lordship mentioned at the same time that Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, as Chairman of the Committee that had already investigated the business, had stated that in case it was deemed advisable on further inquiry to proceed with the matter, he would readily be answerable for the expense. This, his Lordship observed, ought not to b e al lowed ; for, as the means necessary to pro cure a supply of wholesome water for the me tropolis were of public interest, they should be prosecuted at the public expense. He, therefore, moved the grant to which we have just alluded. One w ou ld have supposed that even the most captious opponent of Government could have found no fault with such a grant ; yet Sir It. PEEL, with that petty, perverse ingenuity, pecu liar to him, did somehow or other contrive to put forth an objection, in which, as a matter of course, he was followed by his intelligent partner in af- NON fliction, Mr. GOULBURN. This illustrious couple fraternized to oppose the grant, for no othei reason that we can perceive, than to saddle Sit F. BURDETT with the expense, in the hop( thereby of revenging themselves on him for his strenuous exertions as a Reformer. If this were not the cause of the opposition of this brace of Right Honourables, we can find no other. To be sure, Sir ROBERT did put forth some twaddle about its " not being just to charge the pub lic generally with the expense of making surveys for the benefit of the metropolis ;" but this doc trine of the public having no right to pay for the public benefit is so absurd,—so untenable, that we wonder how he preserved a grave face while he laid it down. Sir ROBERT and his squad of Ultras were never very chary of the public interests while in office, it is only when out that the grand discovery has struck them, that there really is such a thing as a public, which possesses interests worth attending to. It is astonishing what a salutary effect op position has upon men's principles. It brings out the faded hues of their patriotism like a fine varnish. The Ultras in opposition are all for the public ; the Ultras in office were all for place. They are equally respectable in either situation. The Irish Reform Bill made good progress in Committee last night. Mr. STANLEY made one or two judicious improvements as regarded the system of registration, which extorted the praise even of Mr. O'CONNELL. Who after this will talk of the folly and uselessness of agitation ? Had not the Hon. and Learned Member for Kerry battled stoutly for the rights of Ireland, that country would still have been one vast rotten borough. The discussion in the Commons last night on the case of the private SOMERVILLE, though short, was highly satisfactory. In reply to a question put by Mr. HUNT, Sir J. HOB HOUSE said that SOMERVILLE'S dismissal from the army was being made out, to which the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER shortly afterwards added, that the whole proceedings had been submitted to a Court of Inquiry, which would be conducted so as to give entire satisfaction to the public. A public dinner was given yesterday at the Mermaid Tavern, Hackney, for the purpose of celebrating the triumph of Reform. Many in fluential Reformers were present on this occasion; among others, Messrs. HUME, O'CONNELL, and Colonel JONES. Mr. HUME made a very animated speech, in which he strenuously ex horted the people not to pause till they had succeeded in working out their full deliver ance, by sending to Parliament none but tried Reformers. Mr. O'CONNELL took a more comprehensive view of the subject, and truly declared that " Reform in England would yet be the salvation of Europe." The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then proceeded to detail some of the particulars of the fiendish atrocities perpetrated by the Russian Nero on the heroic Poles. One anecdote in particular that Mr. O'CONNELL told with a feeling that did him honour, produced quite an electrical effect on his hearers. Our readers will find it Italicized in our front page. We are most anxious for the result of Lord DUR HAM'S mission to St. Petersburgh. Great Britain cannot too promptly or too sternly re monstrate with NICHOLAS on his conduct to Poland. It is a disgrace to civilized Europe that he should have been allowed to perpetrate such atrocities with impunity. Dutch and Prussian Papers have been re ceived. The cholera has at length made a lodgement in Holland, and will no doubt spread over the Continent. It appears, however, that it has ceased altogether throughout Russia :—,. THE HAGUE, JULY 4.—The day before yesterday a report was spread here that for some days past there had been at Scheveningen cases of sickness with peculiar sym toms, and that some persons had died in a very short time, from which circumstance it was inferred that these were cases of Asiatic cholera. This conjecture has been con firmed by the official medical inquiry commenced yesters day, and continued to-day. Due provision is made for medical attendance on the patients, and a suitable infir mary for the poor has been prepared. We shall coin. municate the accounts that reach us respecting the com mencement of the disorder. The report of an English fleet having been seen from \Ve•t Capelle appears to be unfounded. Sir C. Bagot, the English Ambassador at our Court, i 4 one to London. P.S. This morning the reports respecting the state of the patients at Scheveningen, and the decrease of the number were favourable.

BERLIN, JUNE 29.—His Royal Highness Prince Wil liam (his Majesty's son) arrived at Konigsberg on the 23d, and on the following day proceeded on his journey to St. Petershurgh. Accounts from Arnsburg say, the Jews in the Duchy of Westphalia have been subjected from time immemorial to the annual tribute of 1,250 rix dollars; the Jews in the .circle of Wittgenstein had to pay a sum which va ried in different years, and for this year was 240 rix dol lars. His Majesty by a Cabinet order, founded on the principle that all classes ought to be taxed equally, has abolished the tribute in the cases above specified, a reso lution which has been most gratefully received by the parties interested. It is hoped that the cholera at Halle will soon cease. On the 27th of June there was only one patient remain ing. The whole ❑umber up to that date was 852 cases, 485 deaths, 366 recoveries. At Erfurt on the 29th June (here remained nine patients. Total from the commence• went 52 cases, 32 deaths, 11 recoveries. The cholera has again broken out at Kalbe, on tile Saale.—Prussian State Gazette, June 29. A man and two boys were unfortunately drowned in a pit at Douro colliery last week, by a great body of water rushing in upon them from an old pit, which they hail approached too closely in their mining operations. The boys were brothers, of the name of LAwsox ; the name of the elder sufferer was RICHMOND. --Ayr Observer. A poor woman named SAUNDERS lately died at Gimmingham, near North Walsham, of dropsy, Who within a few months previous to her death was tapped seven times by Mr. PRENTICE, of that town, at intervals of a fortnight, three weeks and a month, and, in the seven operations, she had the extraordinary quantity of two barrels, seven gallons, and some pints of water, taken from her body.—Norwich Post.

The Journal des Debuts contains a long article from Lisbon, date June 20, at which period they were expect. ing the expedition of Don Pedro, and in consequence of which Don Miguel's Government were taking pre cautions against the partisans of Don Pedro, in the event of their landing, which proves on one side that they are certainly very vigilant to suppress any popular ebullition of feeling, but on the other side it seems also that that feeling was averse to the present order of things, which exists to a high degree throughout the country. The movement of Don Pedro must show the relative strength of both parties. VIENNA, JUNE 23.—The Duchess of Parma has left Trieste after having been present at the administration of the sacrament to her son, the Duke of Reichstadt.

The Dutch Papers received by the mail this morning contain a long counter project of a treaty, which proposes to regulate the separation of Belgium and Holland, and to arrange a convention in which the King gives the Con ference a new proof of his intentions to preserve peace. Consols have rather improved since the early part of the morning, when they were at 85 to ; at present they are 8.5 i to 4 for the account. A contemporary of an Evening Paper has been led into an error, by stating yesterday that the French loan had been contracted for; the writer of that article ought to have known that in France, as well as in England, no loin can be contracted for, but by public bidding, which must be regularly announced same time previous. The French Government has not as yet given any notice when the bidding is to take place; but we understand that the amount of the loan has been arranged to be in fifteen instalments, at 7 per cent. each.

VERSES. " POUR ELISA FRISEL." A father lament o'er the fast.fading roses He placed in the tomb in his desolate hour— The earth that late bore thee, now over thee closes, Young maiden, young beautiful flower. Ah do not return to this earth, though we mourn thee— This earth, where the storm.cloucis continually lower-- No wind now may tarnish, no sun now may burn thee, Young maiden, young beautiful flower. Thou [deepest, Eliza, unharassed by sorrow, The troubles of day cannot reach thy lone bower; Thy morning is ended, for thee comes no morrow, Young maiden, young beautiful flower. Thy father, Eliza, thy father hangs o'er thee, And grief on his forehead has stamped deep his power ; Not long shall he lose thee, not long will deplore thee, Young maiden, young beautiful flower, A BISHOP. What constitutes a Bishop ? Not stipend large of twenty thousand pounds ; Not purpose strong, to fish up Forgotten tithes from the poor peasant's grounds; Not wig, and lawn, and stall, Were laughing in their sleeves they snugly sit ; Not pride that looks on all The whole broad world, as made to worship it. No:—worth, contented worth, With souls as far above the cares that haunt Court, church, camp, and so forth, As is the good they lack o'er that they vaunt. Worth that its own ne'er heeds, Nor glares at others' wealth with open sockets; Worth that the hungry feeds, And loves the poor, nor seeks to pick their pockets. This should a Bishop have! And charity (of God's own self a part,) That far o'er land and wave Shines like a sun to warm the human heart. Touch'd by her sacred beam, The clouds of hate and strife change into light; Hope borrows from her gleam, Triumphant faith bows at her presence bright. Such is the Christian's dower, Dearer than all the wealth that earth can give; Shall men pervert their power? Shall numbers suffer that the few may thrive ? Since those who win must toil, And those must conquer who the right maintain, Firmly bear on awhile, Nor yield while others' weal is thine to gain. Fox's Monthly Repository. TITHES.—The clergy of Sweden have peti tioned the Government to be authorised to take tithe of potatoes : but as potatoes were unknown in feudal times, their application has been refused, as having no foundation in history. The freeholders of the western division of Gloucester have resolved, at a public meeting in Bristol, to support the Hon. A. H. MORETON, and the Hon. G C. G. F. BERKELEY, as liberal candidates. Sir BERKELEY W. GUISE offers for the eastern district. The Bristo; Tories support Lord G. SOMERSET for the western; and a third for this division is Captain CODRINGTON. _ _ _ In consequence of the death of one of his Excellency's grooms by cholera on Sunday, the Marques: of ANGLESEA, accompanied by Lords GEORGE and AL FRED PAGET, on Monday sailed in his yacht for his seat, Plas Newydd, Anelesea, with a view to place his sons be yond reach of the epidemic at present raging in this city. It is expected his Excellency will immediately return.— Dublin Freeman's Journal. THE NEXT NEW PUBLICATIONS.—We are requested to state, that " Fortune Hunting," a Story of Modern Life, by the Author of " First Love," and " Dra matic Stories," by T. AntroLD, Esq., will be published in a few days, by Messrs. COEBURN and BENTLEY, who have just published the following :- 1. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OF A WO MAN OF FASHION. 2. The HIGHLAND SMUGGLERS, by the Author of " The Kuzzsilbash." 3. HENRY MASTERTON, by the Author of "Darnley." A Paris Paper contains the following extract of a letter from Vienna:—" Apropos of NAPOLEON. His unfortunate son is certainly dying. MALexrrr, his phy sician, had for some time spoken of him in such a manner as to leave very little hope—but that little has now vanished. The Duke of REICHSTADT'S disorder is a pul monary phthisis, which solely destroys him. The poor young man said a few days since, ' So young, is there Ro remedy? My birth and my death then will be the only point of remembrance.' Some time since his mother sent to him the superb cradle that was given at his birth by the city of Paris. He deposited it in the Imperial Treasury, and recalling the circumstance to his mind a few days since, he said, My tomb will be near my cradle.' I was at Paris at the time of his birth, and was present at the grand review which NAPOLEON bad upon the occasion, in order to present to the troops the infant already decorated with a crown. Who would then have anticipated that, proscribed like him through civil discords, I should see him die at Vienna? His mother is ill at a distance from him. Nis loss will be much regretted ; he is good and kind-hearted, as well as clever and handsome. The sacra ment is to be administered to him this morning. What a mournful destiny is his!" GAMBLING AMONG THE FEMALE NOBI LITY.—It is a matter of notoriety, that both at Epsom and Ascot, during the present season, ladies of rank and fashion —of the highest rank and fashion, were seen amongst th foremost and most eager players at the roulette tables, and with the pea-and-thimble blackguards infesting the Course. One of them (a beauty) is known to have lost a sum of 3001. in a gambling-booth at Epsom ; and unless we are much mistaken, may have derived a useful lesson from th severe sarcasms provoked on all sides, by her appearance at Ascot in contact with the most flagrant ruffians of th • metropolis. That a woman, whatever her rank, whose husband is addicted to the turf, may share in the excite ment constantly astir around her, triumphing in bus triumph, and gratified by his success, even to the occa sional hazard of a bet, we can well conceive. Als Inter passed at Melton initiates many a dainty fair one into the arcana of field sports, and inspires her with involuntary ardour in the cause ; but when we hear of Lady So-and so's book, or of Miss proving a defaulter, we begin to wish that Free Masonry would extend its prohibitions to the stud and the betting-room, and exclude the fairest of Gon's creation from such vile associations.—New IVeeklg Messenger. GEORGE 111. AND BENTHAM.—This month's number of the New Monthly, in speaking of BENTHAM, contains the following curious statement.—" The first writings Mr. BENTHAM committed to the press, were letters in a newspaper, on the affrirs of Europe, somewhere about the close of the American war, which had the sin gular distinction of being answered by GEORGE 111. The King published his letter in a Hague journal; it was re plied to by Mr. BENTHAM, and most unmercifully dis sected ; probably in that manner in which we know he afterwards so much excelled—the application of the rack of analysis. The King learned who the writer was, an never forgot him. Mr. BENTHAM 'S bill, for the establish ment of a Panoptico❑ prison for the reform of crimina's had passed the two Houses of Parliament, and the King had the pen in his hand to sig❑ it, when he asked Lord lIELBURNE who it was that was undertaking this scheme. The answer was, Mr. BENTHAM, of Lincoln's Inn.' BENTHAM!' said the King, and put down the pen. The bill never received the royal assent ; the scheme was obliged to be given up, and Mr. BENTHAM was saddled with a large pecuniary loss—a thing he cared little for in comparison to the defeat of his benevolent project. This story Mr. BENTHAM had from the lips of Lord SHEL BURNE himself." SUICIDE FROM LOVE.—A few days ago, Mr. CAINES held an inquest at the Seven Stars Inn, in East Reech, Taunton, on the body of MARY ANN CHILCOTT, who, on the preceding Wednesday evening, was found drowned in the river near Obridge. She was first discovered by some woman (name unknown) floating on the surface of the water. The woman having given an alarm to a lad fishing by the river -side, he repaired to the spot, and saw a bonnet hung on a gate; a s h aw l, a p a i l of shoes, a religious tract, and a few other articles were on the ground near the gate. The body was conveyed to the Seven Stars in this town. It appeared that the deceased had been receiving attentions from a young man, GEORGE HUTCHINGS, whose suicide (by drowning) we mentioned a few weeks since. Up to that period the deceased had always been in excellent spirits; but since that event she had become extremely low and melancholy, and had inti mated her intention of destroying herself. It would ap pear strange, that notwithstanding such conduct on the part of the deceased, she was accompanied to the river side by her brother and two other young persons, wh, parted with her near the spot where she was found, an , it is evident that a few minutes afterwards she must have thrown herself into the river. The conduct of the famil of the deceased was much animadverted upon. Verdict " That she threw herself into the river while labouring under mental derangement." The interment of the de ceased in the same grave with her lover (Runup:G.,- excited much interest and sympathy. A large concoul s, of persons assembled on the occasion. COMMISSION OF LUNACY-(THIS DAY.) The inquiry was resumed this morning. Thomas Hankinson, coachman in Mrs. Thigstcr's had been so for seven or eight months. Since witness had been in the family Miss B. had spoken to him, parti cularly last Sunday fortnight, at the Clapham-road house ; she came from the garden to the st , ble-y ird in a hurried and agitated manner, took hold of witness's arm, and asked him if he could keep a secret ; he smiled, and said, " What is it Miss ?" She said Alderman Kelley expected to be Lord Mayor the following year, and she expected to be Lady Mayoress. She begged witness not to tell her mother what she said, that her mother was very jealous of lief-, and wished to marry Alderman Kelly herself. He oad children, and considered his eldest, aged nine years, to be more intelligent than Miss Bagster. Mr. William Kingdon, of No. 2, New Bank-buildines, a member of the Royal College of Surgeons for above 17 years, stated he had known Mrs. Bagster's family upwards of three years, and hid attended them professionally. About two years since he was desired to see Miss Bag - ster for an ulcer in her leg. He had also seen her since her return from Gretna-green. When witness attended her two years ago, she directed the attendant to leave the room, as she wished to speak to witness in private. She then said she wished to ask him a favour, which she hoped he would not refuse; she wanted him to ask the Lord Mayor (her grandfather) to let her marry Mr. Jupp, ;ho she was very fond of, and that Mr. Jupp was very fond of her. Her manner was not that of a ration il person. The state of her mind appeared to be that of excessive imbecility. The witness then proceeded to disclose a con versation of a nature that is wholly unfit for publication. She appeared, from her conversation,:to have no sense of impropriety, or of conversation. She said on one occasion that her's was not a proper marriage, and he asked her what she considered a proper marriage; she replied cake and wine, and going to church in carriages with favoured Cross-examined by Mr. Font.Err—Witness had been instructed to inquire of her whether, at a particular inn in Carlisle, before the marriage, and when he understood she had been in doubt whether to return home, or proceed on, any improper liberties had been taken with her, but the result satisfied him that nothing passed at that plaCe but Mr. R. Newton once kissing her. Witness felt fiei would be offering an insult to the mind of a child of five years old, if he were to compare Miss Bigster's capacity to that of such a child. He put a general question to her, whether any thing improper occurred in the carriage going to Gretna, and he was satisfied there bad not. Mrs. Jane Welch, wife of Mr. James Welch, of Acre lane, Blixton, stated that she had been acquainted with Miss Bagster 13 or 14 years; had only seen her once since Alderman Crowder's Mayoralty; her manner was always extremely childish and imbecile. Witness never entered into more than common conversation with her, as she did not believe her rational. William Shadbolt, Esq., one of the executors of the late Mr. James Crowder, the brother of the late Alder man, said, Miss Bagster derived come property under his will ; he bad been frequently in her company, and his opinion was, that her conversation was most trifling; she was treated by the family as a child, and always spoken of as such ; her mind was very weak and imbecile. The case was proceeding when our reporter left. OLD BAILEY.-('THIS DAY.) Sarah Drew, aged 23, stood indicted for attempting to suffocate her male illegitima'e child, by casting it down a privy on the 22d of May last. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. _ _ Mary Ann Masters is servant to Mr. Justice, a baker, in Brydges-street, Covent-garden. On a Tuesday, about six weeks ago, about five o'clock in the evening, she was sitting in the privy, when the prisoner pulled open the door, and seeing her she slammed it too again and went away. When she (witness) came out she saw her stand ing on the kitchen stairs but did not speak to her. She looked very pale. In about an hour after, her mistress called her to attend upon three ladies, whom she took to the water-closet, when she heard the cries of a child down the vault. She procured a light immediately and called in the police. Joseph Sadler Thomas, superin'endant of police, on Tuesday evening, May 22, went to Mr. Justice's house, and questioned the prisoner respecting a child that had been found in the privy. He asked her if she knew any thing about it. Perceiving she appeared very languid and ill, he pressed her more upon the subject, but she de clared she had no knowledge of the child, and assented to a surgeon being sent for, and when he came, he sent for him (witness) up stairs. (Here the witness described appearances about the prisoner, which clearly indicated she had recently been delivered.) On a subsequent occa sion she admitted the child belonged to her, and that Mr. Levoi was the father of it. James Bennett is in the employ of Mr. Justice, the baker, and was present when the child was removed from the privy. He saw the prisoner about ten minutes before the police came, and also after the child had been taken out. When he first saw her she was listening to the cries of the child. She was asked if she had been burying ch•ldren there, and she replied, " How came you to think of that ?" that she bad seen a cat come from there the day before. Mr. Charles Snitch, a surgeon, stated that on the 22d of May he saw the prisoner, and asked her if she had given birth to a child. She denied it. Witness said he would examine her, to which she readily consented. On doing so, be was satisfied from appearances that she had recently given birth to an infant. There were no bruises what ever about the child. In cross-examination, Mr. Snitch said that the pri 'soner might have been delivered without her knowledge. Mr. Justice GASELEE here said that he thought there was no necessity for proceeding farther with the case, as there was no proof of an intent to murder the infant on the part of the prisoner. The Jury thereupon returned a verdict of Not Guilty. _ _ Owen ,Sullivan stood indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Toomey, alias Sheen, alias Sullivan, on the 6th of M ay last. Ann Carter, living at No. 1, New Inn-yard, St. Pan cras, stated that. the deceased lodged in her house. On the 6th of May last the prisoner and deceased came in the evening together, and went into Sheen's room, which was on the landing, and divided from that in which the witness slept by a thin partition only. About twelve o'clock in the n'ght in question she was awoke by the cries of murder from the deceased, who exclaimed, " If you hit or kick me any more you will kill me." The noise con tinued for some time, and the cries of murder were in cessant. She afterwards heard the deceased in the passage, using very obscene language to the prisoner, and said, " You had better come out and finish me, us you killed your first wife. The prisoner said, " Did I ?" and at the same moment the screams of the deceased became dreadful. She the❑ ran down stairs into the street, and she did not see any thing more of her till the following day. She afterwards went into Sheen's room, and found the floor covered with blocd. The Jury found the prisoner—Not Guilty. Thomas Reilly, the man who stands charged with the murder of his wife, was called into the dock for trial, when it was found that an error had crept into the in dictment which would have proved fatal to the conviction of the prisoner. Reilly was then removed from the dock, in order that a fresh indictment should he preferred. His trial is expected to come on on Monday. Lord RADNOR has addressed a spirited let ter to the electors of Wilts, telling them they must be up and doing, if they mean to follow up the advantages of the Reform Bill, by opposing the Hon. Mr. HERBERT, a can didate on Tory principles, for South Wilts. We hope they will respond to the Noble Lord's appeal. THE MINOR THEATRES.—Two actions in the Court of Common Pleas have been commenced, at the instance of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, as Lord Chatnber lain, against Mr. RAYNER, late proprietor, and Mr. DA vmotcr, late Stage Manager, of the Strand Theatre, but now proprietor of the Westminster Theatre, for acting, and causing to be acted, certain dramatic entertainments at the Strand Theatre, when it first opened. Mr. Masts, of the Lord Chamberlain's office, is the nominal phintiff in the case. The action against Mr. RAYNER is, however, dropped, and Mr. DAVENPORT iS to be the only victim. Within the last few days he has been served with a decla ration, and a notice of trial, which will come on next term. Mr. DAVENPORT is sued for 25 penalties of 501. each, for each night's performance, which will amount to 1,2501., if it is decided against him. KING'S COLLEGE.-TilUrSday was tne (lay appointed at this Institution for the distribution of prizes, both in the senior and junior departments, to those can didates who had been successful on the examination. At three o'clock the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, supported by the Bishops of LONDON and LLANDAFF, Dr. O'Dov•Lr, the rector of Lamb et h, M r.
