VIE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM Tun DAILY MORNING rArEns, .fitly 1 7, 18A. "• [MORNING IIER3LD.I (From a Correspondent.)—We have reason to believe, from authority on which we place every reliance, thas it was only so late as lest Monday night that his Majesty had finally resolved to. visit Scotland this year. It is understood his Ma jesty will arrive in Edinburgh about the 3d or 4th of August, and his sojourn there, it is said, will not exceed a fortnight, during which time he will hold a Drawing-room or two at llolyrood House. His Majesty has expressed his intention of honouring the Duke of Buccleugh with a visit in the course of his stay in the North. It is not yet decided whether his Majesty will proceed by sea or not. , (From another Correspondent.)—His Majesty has signified his intention of visiting Scotland im mediately after the prorogation of Parliament. It was on Monday evening last that he was pleased to make known his final intentions on the subject to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, who, of course, attends his Majesty through out the tour. We understand, from an authority which we cannot doubt, that his Majesty will proceed direct to Leith by water, and return by land, through the interior of the country. If so, the great manufacturing districts will be honoured with the presence of the Sovereign—a circum stance which has• not happened for many genera tions. At all events, preparations are making agreeably to this arrangement in tl►e departments both of the Master of the Horse and of the Royal Yachts. LATORNING The arrivals from the Continent of yesterday furnish nothing new with regard to the affairs of Spain ; but the variety of papers we have re ceived since our last publication enables us to give a more connected view of "the whole events which followed the revolt of the King's C uards, than the general reader perhaps would be able to form from the perusal of so many, and in some in stances, such contradictory accounts. The posi tion of the Pardo (the old Palace on the other side of the Manzanares,and not the Prado, public walk, as stated in some of the daily Papers) to which the four battalions of the guards had tied, was too isolated for the realization of any plan formed by the servile.party, and these battalions were be sides separated from the other two which still remained at the Palace, under pretext of guard. ing the person of the King. All negociations for a surrender having proved fruitless, the four bat talions of revolted 'guards, pressed, probably, by the want of provisions, from which they were cut off the moment they shut , themselves up in the Pardo, formed the project of attacking the city on the morning of the 7th, at an early hour, conceiving that the militia and armed inhabitants, who had been on duty for several days and nights successively, might easily be-surprised and over come.: With this view they left their position in the night, and advanced to the square of the Constitution, where they found four compa nies of militia and a detachment of cavalry, supported' by two pieces of artillery. The guards entered Ihe avenues leading to the sqUare at day-light, calling out " . Long live the absolute King," and immediately commenced a brisk fire on their antagonists. By the time they had dis charged their pieces four times, they had reached the line Occupied -by -the Militia, when two granadier companies of the latter, and a company of Chasseurs, commanded by Brigadier-General Palarea, attacked them from several of the streets leading into the square, and considerable loss was experienced on both sides.—At six in the Morning, General Morillo ordered a piece of artillery to be placed in the main street, to pre vent the retreat of the guards in that direc tion. In the mean time the Militia continued to fire upon them from the street Las Carrara, which compelled the mutineers to 'retreat by the adjacent streets on the opposite side. — The guards 'retreated in two directions, part to: wards the Palace, no doubt to join their com rades posted there, 'and the others towards the square of St. Domingo; both being successively charged by the regiment, of the Prince, crying out " Long live Liberty."—The King's stables, where the Guards had collected and posted themselves, were next attacked by Gen. Morillo, the instant he could bring up the militia, and forced with fixed bayonets. Repulsed on .all side's, the mutineers withdrew towards the Palace, where they were received, among other persons of rank, by the Duke del Infantado and the Mar quess de las Amarillos. They then offered to enter into'negociations, and dispatched one of their own party to the artillery ground to signify their wishes. Notwithstanding this offer, they subsequently attacked some of the militia posted near the house of Los Consejos, but they were repulsed in a most vigorous man ner. Without waiting for the capitulation to be carried formally into effect, the few remaining mutineers effected their retreat from the Palace by tho gate of La Vega towards Alcorcon, whi ther they were pursued by a party of cavalry, • accompanied by Generals Morillo and Riego.— On the Bth, all the remaining mutineers surren dered, and the Bishop performed•ar solemn mass in honour of the triumph gained, in presence o' the Militia. [BRITISII PRESS.] • The distresses of the Irish peasantry unfortu nately render a continuance of Case benevolent exertions which have done so much honour to the feelings of , Englishmen, a matter of urgent, of imperative necessity. Yet let it not be supposed that, like abject mendicants, they are willing to abuse the charity extended towards them, and by making a pitiful lamentation, endeavour to extort frotri the compassionate bosoms of their fellow subjects in this country a larger sum than is absolutely required for the alleviation of their sufferings. The Irish Journals contain state ments, unhappily but too 'well authenticated, which prove that the bitter cup of misery is drained to- the very dregs. A single instance will suffice—the putrid carcass of an animal which had died of disease ) ,and been buried three or four days, was dug up and carried off by a wretched family for food ! Still we may be allow— ed to hope that the full tide of charity will be strong enough to remove an unparalleled accumu-, lation of poverty and want, aggravated by diseSse almost beyOnd human endurance, and that as oil, when - thrown upon the agitated waters, - gra dually superinduces,a calm and unruffled surface, it will with a refreshing effect heal the sickness of hope deferred, and restore, at least, comparative tranquillity and comfort, instead of the multiplied horrors of disease which tortures the body, and anguish of despair which preys upon'the mind. The apprehension of continued, nay, of increased calamity too, remains to be averted, for in some instances the sufferers, influenced by dire neces sity, have had recourse to the potatoes in their imperfect state of growth, which, if persisted in, must destroy all hope, so far as regards that great article of resource, of support for the en suing year. As for those who press forward in this great work of mercy, in the very exercise of the feeling they have their reward. [TIli TIM r..s This being the day fixed for the Committee 01 the Highgate Chapel Bill, every art, we are told has been resorted to to get up a . sham - case for the occasion. We have already said that the proposal to build a chapel, and enrich a clergy man, with funds bequeathed and expressly ap propriated by the grantor for the establishment or a school, is a scandalous attempt upon the sanctity of trusts, and upon the general rights and safeguards of property. The advocates for the job, however, refer the public to letters patent of the reign of Elizabeth, and to a grant made by the Bishop of London (in the hope, no' doubt, that such ..musty documents will deter com mon readers' from the perusal), for arguments n favour of the said application of the trust money, broadly 'affirming that these old instruments contain authority to build a.chapel from the grammar-school fund. This is a pure invention. The patent of Queen Elizabeth limits the founder:and his representatives to the creation and support of a grammar-school, and never says one word about a chapel, which latter, with two acres of waste land, is made over by the Bishop of London, in 1565, in perpctuum, to Sir Roger Cholineley, on condition of his vesting it in the trustees of the grammar-school " for the use of the school, and the better maintenance and support of the same, for ever, and to no other use whatever." This condition Sir Roger Cholmeley complies with, and in June, 11565, conveys the chapel and certain other proper ty, .according to the tenour of the .episcopal grant. Here,, then, we find a 'chapel made by law! an appendage to a. charity school, and. the trustees of the said incorporated properties now striving to reverse the whole purpose of the said legal settlernent,:by, extinguishitm the school .that they may transfer its revenues to the Chapel. We: further stated some days ago, that the Bill, if unfortunately it should be carried, would so perSede the jurisdiction of the'Court of chancery, before which the .inhabitaircs of Highgate have been compelled to drag , these trustees, for the sake of obtaining from the Lord Chancellor a de cision which shall at once define and enforce the several duties of the trust. The jobmakers answer that there is a clause exempting the proceedings in Chancery from the operation of t h e Bill. A pretty piece of diollery, to. authorize the Lord Chancellor, by one clause in an Act of Parliament, to set aside the whole of the remaining clauses ! as if such a provision could ever stand .in law. The fact appears to bei that the promoters of the Bill: have not yet,.as defendants in - Chancery, put in their answers to the infcrmatiou. They have nestred within the manifold-involutions of that high Court of ,Equity—they have asked and obtained a month from the 4th inst., . to put in their answers (for that is- one of the few places on earth where time may be said to go aliegging) ; but the Session will he over before a month, and the trustees will, in the mean while, have got the Bill in their pockets ; and good bye to the Chan cellor and his Court. [NEW TIMES.] Mr. hope and Mr. Menzies, the two Scottish Advocates, who have been . summoned to attend at the Bar of the House of • Commons this day, have arrived in town, and will, of course, obey the orders which they have received. We presume that the principal object of Winging these Gen tlemen before the House is to prevent a serious breach of the peace ; and in this wish all considerate persons must cordially join.-- We confess, too, , that even upon the prin ciples of those who bold duelling to be justifiable, We think that the present is not a case which demands such reparation to wounded honour on the one side or on the other. Differing as we do in political sentiment from the Honourable Member who first gave occasion to the present • misunderstanding, we nevertheless think ttat he is entitled to the presumption of having been guided solely by public motives. Unhappily, in the discharge of what he con sidered as a public duty, he was led to act upon erroneous information,'and to wound the honour able feelings of some other Gentlemen, who have taken perhaps an irregular, but certainly . . a very natural course, to set themselves right in the opinion of the world. In the whole of this proceeding there is nothing, we think, which Implies ,the least degree of personal malice in any individual, or which leaves a taint of dishonour on any name. It is a case of mere political difference, mixed up with some misconception on one side, and with a little warmth on the other, circumstances which be tween men of perfect honour demand and admit the easiest and most satisfactory explanation. So far for this proceeding, independently of any question of Privilege ; and really, in this latter point of view, it does appear to us to be totally unfit for further prosecution. [MORNING POST.] The discussion on Monday in the House of Commons upon the general state of Ireland is another proof of the great interest which the people of England now take in the welfare of the Sister Country. Mr. Iktchinsoll himself, who is seldom disposed to look on the favour able side of Irish affairs, voluntarily acknow ledged that, according to his opinion, so great a change has taken place in the feelings of Parliament towards Ireland, he would now will ingly resign the entire concerns of that part of the United Kingdom to the Representatives of Great Britain. So far as good intentions _are in ques tion, we would perhaps coincide with the Hon. Member for Cork; but on the whole with a- view to the benefit of Ireland, and to the very infu sion- into the Irish Gentry of a practical know ledge of our inestimable Constitution, and the application of that knowledge among their own countrymen afterwards , we rather .reg ret that so very few Irish lembers atten Parlia ment at all, and most of those who do for so short a period of the Session. In noticing this cir cumstance we are not.in reality digressing from our main object of remarking upon the general state of the Sister Country. . We know of nothing more sure to improve both the minds and the condition of the people of Ireland than to have them con stantly looking up to .the Legislature as the un failing source of redress for all their grievances, and as the impartial tribunal before which all their wishes will be satisfactorily discussed. — Need we say, then, when the population, extent, and situation of that island, compared with this, are borne in mind, how amply employ ed the whole 100 Irish Members ought „to be in faithfully discharging the duty due to their constituents. We fear, however, that at present the habitual absence of those Gentlemen tells against the real state of their, country, as well as against themselves. But they' should recollect that it is their duty to attend Parliament, and that upon their co-operation and conduct the immediate and future happiness of millions of their fellow-countrymen essentially depends. With re-, gard to the course which the discussion took on Monday night, we agree, with IVlr.Trench that the amelioration of Ireland divides itself under two heads ; the one comprising the objects of Legisla tion, and the other not. The latter we are most disposed to dwell, upon, both because they are the most difficult to accomplish, and at the same time the most. important.. We have no doubt, in short, that whatever Legislation can do will be done, and if any thing does retard. its progress, the cause must be found in the non-accomplisliment of those improvements in the state of the peoPle not depending upon the Legislature. Mr. TrenCh's sent 4 ..nents upon the details of these subjects ap peared to us judicious, as they were well and lucidly - expressed. Rack rents, and all the other private dealin g s of individuals with individuals, together with the argument -of, better habits among the lower orders, and the ambition to en joy more of the substantial comforts of life, do not (as this Hon.- Gentleman observed) Come, ek cent remotely and indirectly, within the province of Parliament. We are, therefore, once more obliged to seek the causes of the present la-. mentable situation of Ireland in the state, of society prevailing there, and in an altera:. .tion of that state of society only, to - hope for 'the improvement. of the country. Upon. the latter point, judging from what passed in the House of Commons on Monday, we think there is one error into which many persons seem likely to fall with_respect to the usual food of the poor Irish. They appear to think that there is some thing in the easy and cheap production, and sustentatioua properties - of- the .potatoe, which renders it a principal cause of. the abject condi, tiori of the lower classes in Ireland. We cannot go this length with them. As a general principle it is perhaps true that when the mass of any po pulation are reduced to be content with the vilest desCription of. mere food, the more cheap: and ,abundant that food is,: the worse for the people. But in our opinion you might eradicate, the pothtoe from Ireland, and, withal r if the state of society were not otherwise improved, the poor, would remain as wretched as before. Alter the state of society, however, and then we think this vegetable, instead of being supposed a curse to the country, would be proved its greatest bless ing;i But we once again repeat the opinion. of Lord Liverpool, that the state of society never will be improved till persons of property adopt a more kind and liberal course of conduct to wards those under them. gome well-executed counterfeit shillings have found their way into circulation. They are of the. date of 1.89.0, and are to be detected'by their sound. SHOCKING CATASTROPHE.—OnThursdayznorn.. ing, last, (11th inst.) as Mr. GILBERT HAYES, with his son, Park-keepers to E. P. MEADOWS, Esq. of Conholt Park, were shooting deer, the former had just killed one, when his son went to him for the purpose of stabbing, the animal., ,In giving his gun to his father to hold, the but .3 n d pitched on the ground ; the piece immediately went off, and lodged its contents in the body of the father, who fell down and expired instantly. The deceased was between 50 and 60 years of age, and has left.a wife and young family to de plore his loss.—( Winchester Journal.) SINGULAR PHENOMENON.—A. few days ago the perfect bodies of a cat and a rat, the former in a watchful position over the rat, which was cring ing in a corner, fearful of being seized by its ene my, were found in a hollow part of ,one of the buttresses of St. Olave's Church, in Southwark, which is now repairing, in the highest state of preservation. They are supposed to have been there some centuries, from the aperture where they must have entered into the buttress having been stopped up when that part of the edifice last underwent repair. Both the cat and rat are now in the possession of Mr. Roberts, the architect, and ,are considered a great curiosity. Monday last as Mr. THOMAS FRENCH', of Iken- Hall, Suffolk, was passing through Tunstall, a swarm of bees alighted on him, and rolled into his coat pocket. Mr. FRENCH threw off his coat, and the bees were hived from it without doing him any harm. The workmen employed in digging the foun dation for the new Gaol at Morpeth, lately found, at the depth of 13 feet from the surface, an oak tree, measuring 38 . feet in length and 9 in cir cumference, and perfectly sound. The skeleton of a deer's head, with fine branching horns, was also lately found at the same place," about 15 feet below the surface. LAW INTELLIGENCE. . . COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 16. MORGAN (ASSIGNEE OF JONES) V. PRIOR. This Was an action on a policy of insurance. In July, 1816, the brig Nathan sailed from Liverpool for the coast of Africa, for the purpose of bringing home a cargo of palm oil. On the sth of November following, her cargo, of which one-fourth be longed. to the bankrupt Jones, was insured for 4,5001. In May or June, 1817, Jones received a letter from the Captain, dated November, 1816, stating that the vessel was then at Bonna, that he expected to complete the voyage in ten months, and would write by every opportunity. This, however, was the only, letter he received from him. On the 6th of Sep tember, 1817, Jones wrote to his brokers in London to effect an additional insurance of 1,0001. upon the cargo ; in con sequence of which the present policy was executed on the Bth. On the 10th Jones wrote another letter to his brokers, stating that his reason for making the, additional insurance was the uneasiness of Mrs. Roberts, the Captain's wife, at the vessel being-so long past due. It turned out that the vessel was wreck ed off Prince's Island, and the captain and two mates being dead, the Portuguese Governor took possession of the cargo, and sold it for the benefit of the parties. The amount of the first insurance was paid ; and the present action was brought to re cover 2501., the bankrupt's share of the last policy, which was resisted on the ground that when effecting the insurance, he had not communicated to the underwriter the receipt and contents of the Captain's letter, by which he would have been enabled to form a more accurate, judgment of the risk he was encoun tering. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE having recapitulated the evidence, The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2501. GALE AND ANOTHER V. JONES. This was an action of trover brought by the assignees of John Wilkinson, an alleged bankrupt, to recover the amount of a quantity of oil from the defendant. The case turned upon the same question as that of " ()tale v. Halfnight," reported in our paper of Monday 'last—namely, whether Mr. Wilkinson was or was not a trader within the meaning of the bankrupt laws; to establish the affirmative of which, Mr. SCARLET T, the leading Counsel for the plaintiffs, stated that he was prepared to offer some additional evidence to that which had been adduced in the other case on Saturday last ; but being afterwards unable to produce the evidence he exvected, lie said he would submit'to a nonsuit ; and the plaintiffs were accordingly called. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ALLEGED 'FRAUD UPON THE NOBILITY. Bow-STREET.—James Phillips, an elderly man, of very respectable appearance, was brouht before Sir RICHARD BIRNIE yesterday, in the custody of Taunton, one of the principal officers, charged hy Mr. Fellowes, Secretary to the Lord Great Chamberlain of England, with having fraudulently obtained sums of money from a great.number of Noblemen, under the pretence that he was authorized to receive " Corona tion Fees." The ' prisoner was apprehended by Taunton, upon a warrant under the Statute for obtaining money under false pretences, issued at the suit of Mr. Fellowes. Mr."Fellowes stated, that the defendant during the trial of her late Majesty in the House of Lords, and for some time subsequent, held a subordinate , situation in the office of the Lord Great Chamberlain, from which he was dismissed for some irregularity soon after the King's Coronation last year. He (Mr. Fellowes) immediately after the opening of the present Sessions of Parliament went to the Continent, where he had been residing until within these few days, when he returned to the duties of his office, and was informed by Lord Gwydyr, the Lord Great Cham berlain, that complaints had beef made by Lord Delamere and ' other Noblemen ,that a man, pretending to ha-ve authority from the Great Chamberlain's office, had been collecting sums of money from Peers, , as Coronation-fees, he having a book with hint stamped " G. It." and " Lord Great Chamberlain's office," in gold letters. Lord Gwydyr naturally felt extremely indignant at such a practice, carried on with his supposed sanc tion and authority, and his Lordship desired that immediate steps ought be taken to put a stop to it, and to bring , the of. fender to Justice. 'lnquiry was made, and it was discovered that the defendant was the man, and that with the book alluded to he had been to upwards of 60 Peers, and collected money. No such thing as a coronation-fee was known or recognized in the office of the Great Chamberlain, and the defendant never had authority or leave to collect money under any plea or pre tence whatsoever. The fraud, probably, would not have been discovered, but that somenoblemen, thinking it a very extra orslinary circumstance that fees of one and two guineas should be solicited in the name of the Lord Great Chamberlain of England, "conceived , it proper , to mention it to Lord Gwydyr. Taimton, the officer, stated that he apprehended the defend ant afhis house, in Crown-street, Westmster, and upon ask ing him if he he' d a book with the names of Peers init, he gave up one which 'Witness now produced. This was a boOk bound with fine white. skin, and on one side the words " Lord Great Chamberlain's office," with ".G. it." were impressed in gold letters ; on the other ,eide this inscription - appeared—" Coronation Fees. George IV. 19th of , July, 1821." Within were the names of about 70 Dokes, MarqUisses, Earls; Viscounts, and Barons, to most of whose names the sum of 11.-. ls. was affixed. The name of the Duke of Norfolk ap peared at the head of the list, and the Llst Nobleman who had .entered his name was .Lord Stowell. The Earl of Harrowby and seine others of his Majesty's Ministers appeared among the number, and Mr. Vellowes stated, that the book would have had the lionnir of the Lord Chancellor's name that Morning, but that the -tides Want . was prevented from waiting upon'his Lordship by the visit of the officer. _ Sir. R.._ButsliE tsid he was extremely sorry to See a man like the defendant in Such a- situation, especially as he knew ..something of his family. He was ready to hear any thing he might have to urge in answer to the charge. Mr. Phillips said, he thought i t altogether an extraordinary charge, and denied that he had been guilty of any fraud. He had been told that it was a custom, from.time' imuiemorial, to solicit donations from the Peers of the Realm after a Corona tion and as hg had a large family, and concei ved he had a right to dew, he had set about it, thinking that if any thing was to be got, he , might as well have the benefit of it. Sir R. BIRNIE observed, that no custom, however ancient, could sanction a fraud. ,The defendant said, he had committed no fraud. He had donethe thing fairly'and openly. There was no disguise, no concealment about it. 'Lord Harrrowby had expressed his entire satisfaction at it, and wondered he (defendant) had not commenced sooner. Sir R. BIRNIE said, the sanction or approbation of noble men after the thing was begun was no.authority, no justifica tion at all. The Money which he had received was undoubt edly obtained under false pretences : he had represesented that he was authorized from the' reat Chamberlain's Office to col lect it as fees, whereiti no such fees were in existence. The defendant said, he made no representation that he was 'authorized to collect fees. He, received any thing that was given him, as a donation, and considered it optional with the -Noblemen whether they chose to enter their names or not. Sir R. BIRNIE said, le must have obtained the money by such a representation, for it appeared on the back of his book. The word ". Fees," and the letters G. R., gave it an appear ance of authority, and he had no doubt that every Nobleman who had given him money had done so under the impression that he was paying a fee, and not making a gift. The defendant said, Mr. Fellowes had once told him, when he was in the office of Great Chamberlain, soon after the Coro nation, that if there was any thing to be made, he might as well have it. This Mr. Fellowes most positively denied, and said it was well known that the taking of a fee under any pretence, by any person in the office, would be followed by instant dismissal. Air. Fellowes added, that Lord Gwydyr, for the honour and dignity of his high office, was extremely anxious it shouldbe known that the defendant had not been authorized to receive these sums of money, and his Lordship wished to attend the magistrate on some other day to give his own denial of the fact. Sir It. BIRNIE after some further conversation, committed the defendant for re-examination . on a future day, when Lord Gwydyr and some noblemen who had paid money to the de fendant will attend. DISTURBANCE AT VAUXHALL GARDENS. UNION-HALL.—Mr. Bish and Mr. Taylor, two of the prin cipal proprietors of Vauxhall-gardens, attended at 'this office to prefer a complaint against William and John Creed, brothers and linen-drapers, of New-street, Covent - garden , and Edward Lancastcr, woollen -draper, of Tavistock-street, for having given very great and general offence to the company on Monday, night. The three defendants were, upon presenting themselves to the Magistrate, R. J. CHAMBERS, Esq., dressed like shop keepers. When at Vauxhall, they had green neckkerchiefs round their necks, and wore coats and trowsers which in cut and colour corresponded with those ornaments. Mr. Bish stated, that at eleven o'clock the defendants entered the gardens,, and showed at that moment a disposition to insult every body. They hallooed through the walks, broke through several companies, knocked, nff the hats of gentlemen, and adopted in every respect the conduct of the theatrical heroes whose example had operated so much to the injury of the lower orders. There were many persons of distinction in the gardens at the time, and the chief proprietors thought proper, upon learning that the defendants were persevering in this scan dalous course of amusement, first, to send Mr. Simpson, the superintendent, to expostulate with them, and afterwards to ,place them in the hands of the police. Mr.. Simpson's inter ference having produced no other effect than that of exasperat- ing them to a more offensive line of conduct, the advice and threats of, the officers were laughed at by the three gentlemen, who continued to perform the parts they had selected to asto nish the public in, until they were collared and dragged out of the gardens to the watchhouse. Hall, the officer deposed, that by the direction of Mr. Simp son he followed the defendants, and saw them 'insult several gentlemen. There were other fellows in the gardens who, wit ness believed, were of the same party, and constituted a very for midable gang, but when the defendants were disposed of, all dis order was quickly at an end. One man appeared in a Highland dress,and having attracted notice by that singularity,and by a very close imitation of the Tom and Jerry school, occasionally drew a dagger, to the terror of the ladies, and brandished it in a most theatrical manner. This gentleman became as quiet as the rest, upon finding that the proprietors were determined to re move all blackguards. Witness added, that the defendants told him they went to the gardens to have a lark. Mr. CHAMBERS expressed great indignation at the conduct pursued by the defendants, and highly approved of Mr. Bish 's determination 10 bring such offenders to justice. There were, he observed, two courses to be proposed—the one was a prose cution; the other a fine, upon pain of prosecution, and a pub lic apology in the newspapers. Either of those would be satis factory, but one of them was indispensably necessary, as w ell for the sake of the proprietors as of the public. Bish said he should proceed upon the suggestion of the Magistrate, and the defendants declared that they were ready to comply with the ,mild alternative proposed by Mr. Cham bers. They had, they said, drank too much wine. The proprietors merely demanded, that in order to prevent a prosecution the sum of 61. should be paid by the defendants, and that the apology should be signed upon the spot. This being done, the money was sent off to the Committee now sitting for the relief of the famishing Irish. Mr. Bish declared that the proprietors were resolved to have the gardens most vigilantly watched, and to punish everyperson who disturbed the company. AN IMPOSTOR. • MARY-LE-BONE OFFICE.—Jean Kevinskey, alias Rosen berg, a foreigner of rather genteel appearance, was charged before the Sitting Magistrate, - RAWLINSON, Esq. with being an impostor. Mr. Schofield, a beadle, belonging to Mary-de-bone, said that he apprehended the prisoner on Sunday last, on the steps of Welbeck-street Chapel, while he was presenting several paper to individuals going in, and after a long struggle lodged him in the watch-house. - The prisoner, it appeared, had for some time past been living by drawing up memorials, &c. to the nobility and personages of rank, and stating every description of falsehood to obtain money. He also, it appeared, made a kind of quadruple corn' position of himself, for he assumed an infinite variety of cha racters, and his fertile imagination never left him at a loss for tales to suit or correspond with the character. It appeared his case had undergone a most minute investigation at t he 111endicity Society office, and, the officers, after the investige" tion, pronounced him to be a most accomplished impostor. He was handed over to the Sessions, and convicted es 3 rogue and vagabond, but the Society's officers proposed W him, as he had procured a regular passport to Russia, he being a native, to go there, or if he did net approve of that , to remain here and undergo his sentence of two months im prisonment in the House of Correction. This latter course he preferred, and on being liberated, commenced his 014 trade. His papers were read, and among them were found lists of all the Nobility and persons of rank of every de; scription, from every nation, resident in the metropolis, an annexed to the name of each was the result of his applica tion. He had waited upon the Polish Nobility, describing himself as an invalid officer of cavalry, and on evell, other respective representatives of all other nations, as a reduce • veteran. Most of these applications were not made in He had several letters in different languages, all being aPPe'73 for charity. From the French noblesse he obtained many so li. marks of their humanity, by describing himself to have been -11 Captain in Buonaparte's celebrated i.egion of Honour. g e enumerated all the distinguished engagements he had been in , • and also stated that he remained with the Legion until the Iss ' t ' All these stories appeared to have been drawn up with co ns rable rable ingenuity.
