STEAM to ROTTERDAM with HIS M AJESTY'S MAIL.—The ATTWOOD STEAM SHIP will leave the Custom-House Stairs for ROTTER DAM' on WR DNESDAT M OR NING, the 12th i ns t an t, a t seven o'Clock precisely. CHARLES BES SELL, Sec. General Steam Navigation Company, !bv *ult. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1832. The sudden departure of General GOBLET on Saturday evening for Brussels has excited some sensation in the political circles. Yesterday three Kings Messengers crossed the channel with Important despatches, supposed to relate to the definitive settlement of the Belgian question. So urgent was the nature of the despatches that a Government steam-boat was ordered to be got ready previously to the arrival of the Messengers at Dover. Extract s f rom Lisbon -Or Gazettes, to the 26th of August, will be found in another column, but we place no faith in their veracity. The French Papers of Saturday mention that a new insurrection has burst out in Lithuania, and that the accounts from Italy speak of par tial conflicts as occurring almost daily in the Papal dominions, between the Patriots and the troops of the PoPE. It was rumoured at Paris, that the fleet of the Paella of EGYPT had landed troops near Scutari (Albania), which, it was feared, would cause some danger to Constantinople. It was also reported that an important Carlist movement Was on the eve of taking place in the west of France. M. DUPIN, it was said, had again failed id his hopes of a seat in the Cabinet, and meant to propose himself for, the Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies.

An offer was made to the Duke of RICHMOND and the French Govern ment to establish steam -packets of a large size between Brighton and Dieppe for the conveyance of letters and despatches, on very easy terms, and it was warmly encouraged by Prince TAL- LtYnAND, after an assurance had been made to him by persons on whose judgment and veracity reliance could be placed, that the passage between Brighton and Dieppe could be kept open during the winter with equal, if not greater facility, than between Dover and Calais ; but the Duke of RICHMOND, although he commissioned a gen tleman connected with the scheme to say that he was willing to try the plan on two days of the week, appeared desirous of making the ser- Vice a post-office rather than a contract affair, and consequently the parties allowed it to drop. The importance of such a mode of communi cation would, however, be very great. Letters from London to Paris by Dieppe would arrive in twenty-eight hours, and the merchants of Rouen and Havre whose letters, having to go first to Paris, and thence by Calais to London, are four days on the route, would be able to re ceive answers from our metropolis in less time than is now required for the transmission of their letters from Paris to London. The Chamber of Commerce of Rouen made strong representa tions to the Government on the subject., and the Prefect of that place took great interest in the promotion of their views ; but the influence of two or three Stock Exchange speculators who were desirous of limiting the Post-office inter course to four days of the week, so as to give them the advantage of private expresses on the other two, opposed it with success. According to the arrangement now made between our Post Master-General and the French Government, a daily communication is to take place by Calais, but we understand that private intrigue is at work to defeat the plan, and we therefore earn estly recommend to our merchants, and those of the French capital, who are anxious for its being carried into effect, to press the matter so forci bly that the Authorities in neither country may be able to retract. Well did SHAKSPEARE put the question " What's in a name ?" into the mouth of one whose mind was in a state that rendered it in capable of judgment, for none knew better than himself, that every thing was in a name. How many nuisances do we not submit to be cause they are called old customs ? To how much injustice, because we are told it is law ? To how much misery and unhappiness, because we are told it is glory ? Nay, not only are whole nations thus governed by names, but indi viduals and bodies of individuals ; and what is more extraordinary, names appear to have the most effect upon them when they are avowedly in pursuit of a personal and individual interest. Had the legislature told the landowners in 1815, 1822, and 1828, " we will pass Corn Laws to increase the amount of your poor-rates, to diminish the growth of British corn, to render its price uncertain and fluctuating, and vastly to augment the importations of foreign corn," would they not have raised an outcry that would have resounded from one extreme of the island to the other ? Doubtless; but the laws were named protective laws, and they were passed by acclamation. It was their name alone that passed them, for there cannot be a doubt that they have been the most disastrous measures ever framed by any legislature. Such, however, is the influence of a name that thus still im poses, not only upon many agriculturists, in whose favour they were intended to operate, but upon many manufacturers, whom we have no hesitation in saying they were intended to operate against. That they do operate against them, there is no doubt, but it is not in the way they imagine. Let us see what Mr. MUNDELL says with regard to both parties :—" The home growers of corn believe these laws afford them a protection, whereas the laws passed in and since 1815 have deprived them of the pro tection they formerly enjoyed, The manufactu rers again conceive, that the operation of these laws is to restrain the importation of foreign corn, and to prevent them from ex changing the products of their industry for fo reign produce, whereas the effect of the Corn Laws, since 1815, has been to increase the im portation of foreign corn." Mr. MUNDELL then proceeds unanswerably to establish his last position, by giving a table of the quantity of corn imported in every period of five and fifteen years from 1775 downwards. By this table it appears that the number of quarters of corn imported in the Fifteen years ending 1785 was 7,566,409 Ditto ditto ditto 1800 was 17,607,125 Ditto ditto ditto 1815 was 20.230,852 Ditto ditto ditto 1830 was 46,375.456 It will be observed that the increase in the fifteen years ending 1800 was very great, but this Mr. MUNDELL attributes to the great scarcity which prevailed from 1794-5 to 1801-2, and with some show of reason, for the importations in the five years ending 1815 were upwards o 1,700,000 quarters less than they were in the five years ending in 1800. Up to 1815 the trade in corn continued virtually free ; but so far from there being that overwhelming importation which is now sod readed, the average of the five years ending in that year, after deducting exports, was only about a million of quarters per annum. The landed interest wished to stop this, fancying that th• distress they felt, in common with the rest of the country, was attributable to it, and actually passed a law prohibiting the importation of wheat till it reached 80s. per quarter. This was altered by an Act passed at the beginning of the reign of the late King, allowing importation when the price reached 70s. on payment of a duty of 12s. This was again altered by the Duke o' WELLINGTON'S Act, in 1828, which allows wheat to be imported at 625. per quarter on payment of a duty of 245. Bd., diminishing ls. for each is. of increase in the price, until it reaches 735., when ls. only is payable. Has the cupidity of the landowners been gratified by these short-sighted and selfish measures ? So far from it, that the importations of foreign wheat have gradually risen, till, in the five years ending in 1830, they amounted to 22,151,525 quarters ! ! Let landlords ponder upon that, and be convinced that an act of injustice always brings its own punishment. The fluctuations in price which have prevailed in corn since 1815, are as notorious as they have proved ruinous. The reason assigned by Mr. 'MUNDELL for the steady progress of our agriculture previous to 1815, and the increase in the cultivation of corn advancing with the increase of the inhabit ants of the country, is, that our demand being allowed to operate constantly upon the shipping ports of the Baltic, and elsewhere, raised the price of them almost to a level with our own, so that the temptation to speculate was very small; but that since then, our demand only operating occasionally, the price ofcorn abroad falls so low that the speculator buys it up, and stores it " 41 warehouses at home, for the purpose of foreign trade, and he has, at all times, a quan tity of foreign corn ready to enter for home con sumption, whenever the price reaches the import able price ; and as the home growth dimi nishes, (which it necessarily does, under the operation of the existing law,) the trade of the dealer in foreign corn becomes the more certain and gainful, and the situation of the home grower becomes the more uncertain and hazardous." In the last words of this sentence lies the whole secret of the present distress of the agricultural interest. The outgoings of the farmer upon his operations are certain, his incomings uncertain ; and so they must continue as long as it is at tempted to run counter to the laws of Nature. We know that Lord WYNFORD and his friends have a curious mode of arguing, by which they attempt to show that it is for the interest of the manufacturers and the bulk of the nation that foreign corn should be prohibited altogether, till the English farmer has obtained some enormous price for his wheat, say 80s. per quarter. " If," says his Lordship, " the farmers and landowners get a good price for their produce, it is evident they can better afford to give the manufacturers a good price for theirs, and that the home market is that which ought to be cultivated." By the same method of reasoning, or rather arguing, it might be proved ad vantageous, that the Civil List of the KING should be trebled, that the salaries of all the great officers of the State should be increased in the same proportion, &c., because they would have the more to spend among the productive classes. But as we do not think it likely that a higher duty than the present will be imposed on foreign corn, this is an absurdity against which it is needless to say another word. It must be remembered, says Mr. MUNDELL, that although the average price of wheat has for the last four years not exceeded 645., yet that that, looking to the difference in the exchange able value of money, is equal to what 130 s. was in 1815. He accounts for the continued fall of rents, in spite of this circumstance, by the fall ing-off in the amount of the produce, and the increased cost of its production, from increase of poor-rates, &c. He defines rent to be the surplus produce which remains after defraying the cost of production." Whether we take this, or the more commonly received definition, it is clear that if any corn lands be thrown out of cultivation, it will be the poorest, which must necessarily occasion a fall in the rent of the best. The increase in the poor-rates since 1815 has been 1,726,0001., the whole of which Mr. MUNDELL lays to the account of the agricultural labourers thrown out of employ by our diminished cultivation. We must con fess we cannot quite agree with him in this, for from the best accounts we have, a large part of the increase may be attributed to the increase of the pauper population, without any employment being found for them. It appears, then, that the landlords have not attained their object, nor could they have done so without an act of injustice to the consumers of corn. That their measures have inflicted great injury upon every class of' the community as well as themselves, we think we shall be able hereafter to show, although that injury has not, as they expected, operated to their own benefit. The remedy proposed by Mr. MUNDELL is a fixed duty at all prices, " because an im portable price not only prevents our great de mand from operating freely and equally at all times abroad and at home, but increases the frequency and amount of fluctuations." So far we agree with Mr. MUNDELL ; but we will add that the duty should be imposed for the purposes of revenue only, and not for the pur poses of protection. This would in some d e . gree regulate its amount. Mr. M. then pro ceeds to argue in favour of a drawback equal to the duty upon the exportation of homegrown Corn. To the policy of this we cannot yield our assent, but to state our reasons would at present lead us too far. It may be sufficient to observe for the present, that a drawback upon the iden tical article upon which the duty has been levied, and a drawback on an article grown at home, on which little or no duty has been levied, are very different things. Who ever heard of a draw back being proposed to be granted on the ex portation of gin equal to the duty upon the im portation of brandy ? It is true, that Mr. MUNDELL does not seem to think there would be much drawback called for, but we object to the thing upon principle. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

A Lisbon mail has arrived this morning, which wiled on the 26th August (it is not brought by the regular packet ship), and at present we do not hear that she has brought any letters from Oporto, consequently she could not have touched at Oporto. The Lisbon Papers are void of any inform•ition of im. portance, but we have been favoured with a private letter from Lisbon received by a respectable merchant in the city. " Lisbon, Aug. 26. " Nothing particular has occurred here since my last, ex cept the marching of all the regular troops of the line to the north ; the police guard, militia, and volunteers are almost the whole of the force which remains here at pre sent, and it is easy to see that both parties are at times on the balance of opinion as to which way things will go with respect to Lisbon ; but it may be said that the Lisbon Gazette is a tissue of lies and false representations. On the 17th of August the forts announced the return of the Portuguese squadron, which anchored in Cascaes Bay. Early the next day Don Miguel went on board his steamer to have the pleasure of seeing them, and observed, with his glass, several vessels at some distance, without colours flying; upon which he drew a conclusion that they were prizes taken by his squadron. He became quite elated, and returned in la iste, ordering the forts to fire a royal salute ; and sent to th• commanders of the different corps to announce the joyful news and to illuminate, which was very generally done throughout the city. At the same time not a boat was suffered to approach the squadron, but soon after the truth was generally known, and it was ascer tained that the squadron had an action with Admiral Sartorius, and the Portuguese ships ran away during the night, putting out their lights so as not to be followed. The largest frigate has several shots in her main-mast. Every fort on both sides the Tagus fired a Royal salute, except St. Julian and St. George's Castle, and the number of ar tillery which fired could not be less than from 220 to 250 pieces." Calcutta Papers to the 24th March, and Madras to the 29th April, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Calcutta Papers give a letter from the camp of Loheret Dugaga, stating that all was quiet there, and that they have not seen or heard of an enemy for up wards of a month. The last accounts from Palamou state that Colonel Hauty had joined Lieutenant Drummond, and all was tranquil. The Madras Papers state, that his Majesty's ship Cro codile is to sail for England. The Right Honourable the Governor and suite have reached Neilyherries. The Bengal Ihskaru of the 16th of March contains a report of the meeting in Calcutta, held for the purpose of taking into consideration the expediency of petitioning Parliament fur a legislative enactment to enable parties in civil actions at law to have their causes tried by jury. Although a Lisbon mail has arrived this morning, which sailed on the 26th of August, we are as badly off as we have been for several days for official information from the theatre of war, as the above mail does not bring later accounts from Oporto than the 20th of August, and we have news already from Oporto of the 23d ult. ; therefore we must wait till the regular mail arrives. Consols opened at the same price they left off at on Sa turday, 84 to 85 for the Account, and soon after were done at 85 for the Account. lIALF-PAST ONE. We can state, from good authority, that the Belgian General (Goblet) has gone to Bruisels with important despatches to King Leopold, which are of a favourable nature. Admiral Sartorius has resumed the blockade of Lisbon ; it is said he has under his command 9 vessels of war. We bear a strange report, that 4,000 Irishmen are going as emigrants to join Don Pedro, in Portugal. The Dutch Funds have come over rather lower, but tae French Helves have considerably improved ; the latter is owing to a report in Paris, that the Ministry is on tle point of being settled. Consols are at present 85. In the Foreign Market no speculation of consequence. The New York Packet of the 16th Aug. is off Liverpool. We hear that the Marquis Palmella sets off to night for Plymouth ; also that arrangements have been made to send strong reinforcements to Don Pedro's army. THREE 0' CL o CK. Consols 85 for Account. On Monday last a public dinner was given by the Reformers at Hull to Mr. M. D. Hxr.L, the liberal candidate for that borough. About 200 gentlemen sat down to dinner. Sir F. A. COLLIER, Captain of his Ma jesty's ship Vernon, states that the Castor never, on any trial, had the advantage of the Vernon, and on the last day the Castor was dead brat. The inhabitants of Richmond intend to-day to follow the good example set them by their neighbours at Isleworth, by testifying their loyalty and attachment to their KING, by giving him a hearty reception on his visit to the Earl of ERROL, in the same way which gave so much pleasure to his MAJESTY on his visit to the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, at Isleworth, on the 31st of July, of which his MAJESTY has since repeatedly spoken i❑ the highest terms, and said, " he never should forget his loyal reception at Isleworth." NEW STEAM-CARRIAGE.—On Thursday a newly-invented steam-carriage, which is able to go up hill on common roads, proceeded from Paddington-green, six miles out and six miles back on the Harrow-road, up and down several sharp and long hills, in less than one hour. It ran at more than eight miles the hour up the steepest hills ; and on the levels, when the road was clear, at more than 16. The steam was so abundant as to be blowing away at the safety-valve the whole of the journey. The boiler is a new combination of tubes, perfectly free from the defects and objections attaching to those made by Guaway and others, utterly incapable of doing any mis chief, even if it were to burst. The steam is usually at a pressure of 1501 b. to the inch, but the boiler has stood I,ooolb. to the square inch; the boiler weighs about 1,7001 b. ; the whole carriage shout two tons and a quarter. SUDDEN DEATH OF C. CALVERT, ESQ M.P. FOR THE BOROUGH OF Sounrwa.ax..—Accounts have been received in town this morning of the awfully sudden death of C. CALVERT, Esq., M. P. for the Borough of Southwark, which took place on Saturday evening last, near Ipswich, after a few hours' illness. Sir THOS. DENMAN has just put forth an address to tke electors of North Derbyshire, dated Stoney Middleton, Sept. 3, in which he absolves from their en• gagements those electors who had come forward in his favour. The Learned Gentleman's connection with Not tingham is assigned as the cause of this step. DEATH OF ANDREWS THE COMEDIAN OF SADLERS WELLS.—On Saturday last at 9 o'clock, AN DREWS the comedian expired after a short illness of five days. His disorder was an obstruction of the action of the liver. ANDREWS has been a great favourite at Sad ler. Wells for the last four years ; he succeeded LA NcAsrzß who died suddenly at the Hugh Middleton while in the act of drinking a pint of porter. ANDitsws was about 30 years of age, a man of most sober and industrious habits, and a very promising actor. We lament to add, that he has left a widow far advanced in pregnancy, and a son only two years of age, in a state of great destitution. THE POET MILLHOUSE.—We beg to no tice to our readers that a subscription has been opened at the .Athenccum-office, No. 2, Catherine -street, Strand, for the clever operative poet of Nottingham. 11.1rwrousx has for years had to contend against innumerable difficulties, and has now a large faMily to bring up, with nothing to support them hut the uncertain produce of his daily labour at the loom. We do therefore hope that a sufficient sum may he raised to, in some degree, alleviate those cares which are always attendant upon a large family. The total importation of sugar into France from Martinique, between the Ist of January and 6th of July, 1832, amounts to 29,461 barrels (barriques). The melancholy demise of Sir ALBERT PELL, which took place on Thursday last at his house in Harley street, has occasioned a vacancy in the office of one of the Judges of the Bankruptcy Court, to which he was ap pointed by the Loan CHANCELLOR in December last, when he received the honour of knighthood. Sir AL BF.RT PELL, at an early period of life, betook himself to the profession of the law, and for many years he ap peared 83 Counsel in most of the eminent cases brought into the Court of Common Pleas. He was also leading Counsel on the Western Circuit, where he acquired both fame and fortune, and retired with a handsome compe tency from the active practice of his profession about seven years back. He was an active and intelligent Ma • gistrate for the county of Middlesex, and his political predilections were dose of the present Administration. He possessed considerable powers of eloquence, and at county meetings, and at the meetings of the Magistrates at Clerkenwell, he was always a prominent and able speaker. Sir ALBERT PELL was connected with the noble family of ST. JOHN, having united himself in 1813 to the Hon. MARGARET LETITIA NIATILDA ST. JOHN, third daughter of HENRY BEAUCHAMP, 14th Lord ST. Joint of Bl e t so , b y w hi c h l a d y, w h o su rvives him, he has left a nu merous fam i ly.

This morning the fresh supply of New Wheat was to. lerably good, and the millers, at the early part, bought up the fine dry parcels ready, at 2s. per quarter advance on the terms of last Monday, which also extended to fine old parcels, but the middling and ordinary sorts met as last sale. New Barley fm malting is rather clearer, as there was little fine at market to. day ; grinding parcels remain unaltered. Beans and Gre y Pease as last reported. Boiling Peas are somewhat dearer.— The Oat trade, from the continued good supply. retains its late dulness, at no variation in prices. There is some demand for fine Flour, at last week's prices.

VOOL TRADE.—Since this day week, there have been some additional sales of Colonial and ether Wools, which have attracted much attention, particularly among those engaged in the trade to New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land. The rapid improvement which is evinced in the growth of Wools in our Colonies, leads to the expectation that ere long the manufacturers of the united kingdom will he almost exclusively supplied from these sources. The public sales since this day week have consisted of 2,200 bales, of which nearly 1,800 were Australian and Van Diemen's Lan4 Wools ; 151 bales of Spanish ; and the remainder German and English Wools. The sales on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday last, were most numerously attended by buyers from Leeds, York, Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield, and the West of England, and a strong desire was manifested to obtain the Wools offered. Some of the fleeces offered, the produce of Aus tralia, were of so superior a description, that from 2s. sd. to 2s. Sid. per lb. were obtained for them. The lower qualities, both of Van Diemen's Land and Ausaalia, ob tained full prices. The English Wools offered were short. Wools clean washed fetched Is. 11d. per lb. The Spanish Wools, of which there were about 150 bales, sold at from Is. 6d. to Is. 7id. per lb. ; and the Portuguese Wools (15 bales), sold at from 9d. to Is. Id. per lb. The sah within the last week have gone off at prices from 3d. 'o 4d. per lb. higher than the previous sales some months since. The produce of the sales of Colonial Wools will not fall far short of 80,0001. - -,----.

OLD BAILEY-(T111S DAY.) OLD COURT. John Jonas Limn, a young RIM of gentlemanly ap. ear :nre, was indicted for forging and tutoring a cheque r.r 2001., with intent to defraud 'Messrs. Coutts and Co., the bankers. Mr. Partridge, a cashier at Messrs Coutts and Co., sta►ed, that the prisoner came to their house on the 2d tilt. and presented a cheque for 2001., purporting to be drawn ly a gentleman named Paxton, who kept an account with ritness's house. Having reason to believe from certain •ircumstances, that the cheque was a forgery, the witness .howed it to a member of the firm, who looked at it, and then requested the prisoner to walk into a hick room. Sir Edward Antrobus, a partner in the house of Coutts and Co., stated that on the last witness handing the cheque o him, he was of opinion it was a forgery. He then , equested that the prisoner should walk into the back a - inting-house. as he wished to send for Mr. Paxton, in .vhose name the cheque was drawn, fOr the purpose of ascertaining whether his suspicions were well founded or not. The prisoner went into the back room and waited there, at witness's request. Witness, having occasion to oass the room door, saw the poisoner put a phial in his •south, and i❑ the act of swallowing something ; wit less ran to him, and took the phial from him before he eould empty it ; and, upon sending for a medical man, the stomach pump was used, and with effect. The pri soner, after partially recovering from the effects of the contents of the phial (laudanum), was given into the custody of Mr. Thomas, the superintendent of police. Mr. Thomas stated that he received the prison.r into his custody. At the station-house, the prisoner admitted that the cheque was a forgery. A letter was found on b:s A.rson addressed to his mother, in which he scrin.d to anticipate death, and stating, that before she received that 'ester her unfortunate son would b. no more. Mr. Paxton prored that his signature to the cheque was a forgery. Mr. Watts stated that the prisoner had been in his em— ploy as clerk. On being shown the cheque he stated that he believed it to have been written by the prsoner. On the part of the prisoner sever;kl very respectable persons gave him a most excelent character. The Jury found him Guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy, on account of his youth and good character. Robert Carr was indicted for the manslaughter of John Webb. 3 ( ' 1 Mr. BODKIN stated the case for the prosecution. _ The particulars of this case were fully detailed in tl c report of the Coroner's inquest, published in the papers ss rew days back. The prisoner was an ironfounder at Brentford, and had been employed by a person named Hughes to make four small iron cannons ; after they were sent home they were tried, and one of them burst; that one was sent back to be re-cast; he afterwards bad 9 more to make up tl.e dozen, and when they were sent home he saw one that he had reason to believe was the one he had previously sent hack. The cannon were intended to be used on oc..iasions of public rejoicing, and on the first time of their being used the first one that was fired burst, and killed the de. ce ised, who was sanding at a distance of 18 yards. This occurrence took place near Kew Bridge. The cannon that burst was produced in Court, and it appeared, on putting the pieces together, to have been burst before, and repaired, the interstices occasioned by the previous bursting only being filled up with lead. Indeed it seemed impos sible to suppose it could have been fired without the cer tainty of its bursting. For the defence several witnesses were called who were engineers and iron founder', from whose testimony it ap peared that it was not usual to manufacture cannon like those in question by casting them hollow, but to east them solid, and the trader who orders them then sends them to engineers to he bored, and subsequently to he proved ; that if they be ordered to be cast hollow it was necessary for the person who orders them to send them to be "smoothed" inside, a process performed by engineers; and that none of the processes but casting had to be performed by the iron fcuneer, of which trade the prisoner was. On moss examination the witnesses admitted that the art of boring was introduced by the Dutch many years ago, since which cannon were rarely if ever cast hollow—indeed it was considered dangerous to cast it hollow. They also admitted that they never knew an instance of a person, out of that trade, for instance an oil and colour man, ordering cannon of a founder, and that if such a person were to order them it was not probable he knew how to perform the necessary processes. The prisoner's son stated, that when Hughes applied to his father to make the 12 cannons, his father said it would be unsafe to cast them► hollow. At last, however, four were made, of which one was returned as defective, and Hughes then ordered one to make up that number, stating, he wanted them to put two on each side of a sailing b.-at for firing; and he ordered eight others to be made merely as ornaments on board the vessel. The July, under his Lordships's direction••, found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to fourteen days' in - prisonment. His Lordship ordered that all the rest of the cannons should be destroyed. NEW COURT. William Forte Woodeson, a highly respectable young man in appearance, was indicted for stealing trout his master, a Mr. Notbury, residing in Whiteehapel, on the 18th of August, a large quantity of copper and brass bolts, and Mary and William Clarke, mother and son, were indicted with receiving the same knowing it to be stolen. A surveyor of the Thames police, named Cievor, stated that on the evening of the day mentioned in the indictment, he called at the house of the prisoner Clarke in Cape stre t, when he saw in her possession about 15 or 16 lbs. of cop - per. This,excited his suspicion and caused him to inquire how she because possessed of it, when she said her son had bought it of a respectable young man the previous day. James Fogg, an officer of the Thames police, stated that the prisoner William Clarke stated to him that he bought the copper from a person named Watson, who gave him a bill of parcels with it, which on being produced showed evident signs of erasure having been made in it ; the name of Glascote was altered to Clarke The bill stated the goods to have been purchased front Mr. Nor bury, and was in the handwriting of the prisoner Woode son. On Clirke's being taken to the house of Mr. Nor bury, Woodeson was behind the counter, and he itigantly recogliz d him as the person from whom he purchased the metal. Woodeson instantly admitted that be had stole❑ the property from his master, promised not to di. the I.ke again, and begged for his forgiveness. This the prose cutor refused to do, in consequence of the repeated thefts which had been committed. Mr. Norbury identified the metal and bolts as his pro perty. _ _ A letter was produced, written by the prisoner to his master, admitting she robbery. Several respectable persons gave Woodeson an excellent character. The COMMON Smut...NT directed the Jury to acquit the two Clarkes, against whom nothing had been proved. With respect to Woodeson no doubt could be entertained of his guilt, as he had himself admitted it. The Jury found Woodeson guilty, and The CosistoN SKRJZANT sentenced him to be impri soned three months in the Home of Correction. Thomas Hunter was indicted for stealing, on the Stb of February, a pocket globe, worth bs., the property of an optician named Child, residing in Pentonville. Mrs. Cannon, who keeps a marine-store shop in Port pool-lane, stated that the prisoner brought the globe to her shop, and wanted to sell it. Witness, how ever, would not purchase it, and the prisoner then asked her to lend him a shilling on it tll the morning. On seeing the prisoner again on the 19th of July, at the Police Office, she recognised him as the person who had brought the globe to her shop, by his dress. A policeman named Bennett, No. 67, G division, stated, that be had had the prisoner in custody befoi e. Mr. PHILLIPS, who appeared for the prisoner, asked for what ? Policeman—For blacking a young woman's face. On Mrs. Cannon being again called, she said she could not speak positively as to the colour of the clothes the pri soner had on when he offered the globe to het for sale. Mr. Talbot, the prisoner's master, and several other persons, gave him a most excellent character for honesty. The Jury Acquitted the prisoner. William Henberry, George Powlet, and John Jack son were indicted, the former for stealing seven watches value 141., the property of his uncle, a watchmaker, living at Chelsea, and Powlet and Jackson for receiving the same, knowing them to be stolen. The Jury found all the prisoners Guilty, but recom mended Jackson to mercy. The COMMON SERJEANT sentenced Henberry ai d Powlett to seven years' transportation, and ordered Jackson to be imprisoned six months in tile House of Correction.
