WHEREAS, about Half-past Four o'clock on the Afternoon of Tuesday, the 3d of January instant, A BAG containing about ONE HUNDRED LETTERS was feloniously stolen from the General Post Receiving House of Mr. John Elley, Holborn-hill, Iron monger. Whoever will give such information as shall lead to the apprehension and conviction of the offender or of fenders shall receive a REWARD of ONE HUNDRED GUINEAS, payable on conviction. The Bag was of dirty white leather, it was made up and sealed, the impression of the seal was Holborn-hill, , surmounted with a crown—a brass ticket with the inscrip tion, Holborn-hill, unpaid g 4 No. 26" was appended. Two men are suspected, who called to look at some goods but purchased nothing; one of them was about 35 years of age, about the middle height, dressed in a blue coat with metal buttons, and had the appearance of a workman. His companion was rather taller and appeared about 40 years of age; he wore a dark great coat buttoned up, was of • very niean appearance, and seemed labouring under a bid cough. Any persons who posted remittances at this Receiving House on the day i❑ question are earnestly advised to lose no time in stopping the payment of the notes &c. they en closed. bring forward another woman, whom ha had married subsequently to the two who were now present. The prisoner said it was a hard case to see women whom he loved with tenderness come forward and endeavour to have him sentenced to a punishment which, if proved, would banish him from the land of his forefathers. He did not think until now that so much hard-heartedness could be displayed by the sex I—He was remanded. THE BRISTOL RIOTS. \ 0. 12.266 LONDON, THIJRSDA►Y EVENING, JANUARY 5, 1832. PRICE 7D.

Mr. DANIEL WAKEFIELD, jun., then gave notice of ; motion to be proposed at the next meeting— " That a Committee be appointed to prepare a peti tion to Parliament . for an alteration in the present laws relating to partnerships, and particularly of those laws which regard the trade in banking." Mr. HowELL (one of the working classes) stated at considerable length a plan for circulating gratui tously by the Members of the Union, among their riends, and in their neighbourhood, those tracts hat may be accredited and published by the Union. The motion was seconded by Mr. Fox Smith, and supported by Messrs. Place, Rainford, Franks, Drake, and Wallace, who urged the necessity of having their tracts disseminated, as done by religious societies, and having some of them laid in as many coffee and public houses as possible, so as to promote the instruction of the people by rational and prudent, and approved means, wherever possible and conve nient, and not to restrict those tracts solely to the members of the Union or their reading-room. The motion was unanimously passed; and.many inebbersi of the Council and of the Union prescat, volunteered with avidity to become distributors of the tracts. which would receive immediate attention where well-founded appeals were not likely to be made in vain, and advised that a petition should be at once sent in to the Lords of the Treasury. The neces sary papers were soon got ready, and forwarded to the highest quarter, according to his Lordship's sug gestion ; and yesterday Mr. Barrett informed his Lordship that the Lords of the Treasury had, after having caused a proper investigation to be made, ordered the poor man to be liberated and restored to his afEcted and destitute family. The prisoner, the Governor said, appeared not to expect so early an answer to his appeal, and was ready to sink to the earth with gratitude upon being told, in the morning, that the gates of the prison were open to him. G UILDHALL. This city, which, when I last visited it, presented such a melancholy example of the want of constabu lary force, seems now to be perplexed with nothing but the special constables. They clamour in the streets and in the court-house, and offer most un necessary and vexatious obstructions to those who endeavour to reach the difficult localities appropriated to the purveyors of the press. They admit their friends of course, but even at night it is next to im possible for those who labour for the public to gain an entrance into one of the most disagreeable halls of justice ever erected by a corporation contemptuous of all interests but their own. Davis, who is considered the ringleader in the riots, was captured yesterday by Mr. Harmer, the solicitor, who took Clarke, the man now under trial, at Liverpool. This has excited a great deed of inte rest in the town. He was taken about four o'clock in the day, concealed in a passage off a garret ite the house of a relation named Lavers, in Little Miiitsrn, near Certif., Dorsetshire. Davis was a carrier, and has been called respectable in his sta6on. BLAIR'S UNIVERSAL PRECEPTOR, or Grammar of all Arts and Sciences, ss. bound.— QUESTIONS on the same, Is.

The case excited much in terest among the trade. The complainant founded his application on the Arbitration Act (5 Gei). IV., c. 96), which enumerates among other causes of dis pute arising between masters and workmen, which shall be referable to arbitration, "any delay, or sup posed delay, in finishing any work." Row was em ployed in weaving a slight fabric, twenty inches wide, at ninepence per yard. Raving exhausted his stock of silk, he applied, for twelve successive days, for a further supply of shuts to continue his work, but none was given him. He now claimed 21. ka. 6d. for the lost time.

ACCOMPLICES. William Woodman saw rioting and burning in Queen-square, on Monday morning, 31st of Octo ber, at two o'clock; saw Clarke there at that time with books; was there for three quarters of an hour. David Lawes examined—Knew William Clarke; saw him in Queen•square, from two o'clock, a.m., till half-past, or thereabout, on Monday, 31st of Oc tober. The fires were burning; saw people riot ing, and saw Clarke come from the north side of the square, when the last five or six houses were burning, with dishes under his arm. He recognized witness. Could not specify any words said hyClarke, except " Hurrah, come along my boys." Clarke was then going to join the mob. Witness stopped until obliged to run away, because he could not stop the mischief which he attempted. Cross-examined—Knew Clarke for years. lie was drunk on that occasion. Had heard that Clarke was injured by an accident in the head, and had seen him rough when in liquor. The meaning of saying that Clarke was rough was, that he seemed, when he was in liquor, sometimes to be like a de ranged person. Re-examined—Clarke went about his business re gularly. Witness had transacted business with him, and knew him up to this unfortunate hour to be an honest man. sation, Is. FIRST FRENCH GRAMMAR, 2s. 6d. FRENCH and ENGLISH EXERCISES,I3s.

T HE President and the Board of the Bri tish College of Health, New-road, King's Cross, London, on referring the British Public to their former atatement of the undoubted success of the Universal Aledi eines in stopping the ravages of the Cholera Morbus in the Baltic, as given, verbatim, from Mr. M. Gardner, their general Agent for the County of Durham, (who had supplied several Baltic vessels with the Medicine), beg leave to lay before the Public a letter, received this day from their Agent at Carlisle, containing a still more cor roborative proof of their full efficiency on this devastat ing scourge : ANOTHER CURE OF MALIGNANT CHOLERA MORBUS. To Mr. HUDSON, Agent for Carlisle. Sirt,—l did not intend giving my case publicity, but when I consider the awful visitation of the Cholera in Sunderland and the neighbourhood, I do not think I should be doing justice to Mr. Morison and the public if I were to keep any longer silence. A few weeks ago I was called to Berwick-upon-Twecd as a Hatter, when I was severely attacked with the Cholera. The symptoms were cramp in toy limbs, being all drawn tip ; my body was all over a blue colour, accompanied with violent purg ing and vomiting, when a friend of mine, a Minister of the Gos pel, came timely with Morison's Pills. I took twelve at first, and repeated the dose a few times, when my health was Com pletely restored. I h ave given the symptoms, and leave it to the public to judge for themselves to call my disorder what they please. However, I acknowledge my gratitude to Almighty God, from whom all blessings flow, in sending his servant with the Justly celebrated Vegetable. Universal Medicine of M or i son, the Hygeist, to my relief. I am, yours respectfully, "Carlisle, Dec. 16, 1531. EDWARD ALLISON. CURE OF SCROFULA, ATTENDED WITH AN UNCON- QUERABLE LETHARGY. To Mr. MORISON. Sin,—Having obtained a complete cure of most virulent icor. butic eruptions, attended with an unconquerable lethargy, by the use of your invaluable Universal Medicines, I arri anxious my cure should be made known, for the encouragement of those troubled with the same complaint. I caught the small-pox when about eighteen years of age, which, from being improperly treated, left a drowsiness and pain in my h ea d th a t rendered me incapable of attending to any kind of business, as I was obliged to lay down for four or five hours in a day in a complete state of stupor, from which nothing could rouse me ; and when I slid rise, was as sleepy as ever. It was thought by my friends and the faculty that I should be taken off in one of these fits of languor, which, no doubt, (as I now learn from y our excellent Treatise on the ' Small.pox), pro ceeded from those morbid humours which had been checked in their progress for expulsion, at the time of my being caught with the small-pox infection, as nature, in its efforts to throw off those incumbrances, had covered me with most virulent scor butic eruptions, from which I never expect e d t o recover , y e t, W onderful to relate, by taking ten or twelve small boxes of your [ ftneral Agent for Staffordshire—Mr. Mason, of this town--I are 4stui , ed to sound health, for which I can never be sufficiently grateful, and am, Sir, your debtor for health, West Bromwich Dec. h 2, 1231.

A meeting of the Council of this Union was held last night (Wednesday), at their rooms in Leices ter-square, which have been greatly improved for the cornrort and convenience of the members, both of the Council and of the Union, since the last meet ing. The rooms are capable of affording accommo dation to nearly three hundred members of the Union, besides those who may attend of the Coun cil ; and (as was observed during the evening, by one of the Council) it is proposed inviting the at tendance of ladies, and affording them every atten tion and accommodation. The Chair was taken by Howard Elphinstone, Esq. Mr. DANIEL WAKEFIELD, jun., in the absence of the Secretary (who was indisposed), read the mi butes of the former meeting, which were confirmed. The CHAIRMAN then urged the necessity of the laws for conducting the election of the next Council being properly known and adhered to, as the time of the present Council would shortly terminate. Mr. PERRY having spoken at considerable length on what the Committee had done during the ad journment, particularly the improvements in the rooms, and the subscriptions and donations (amount ing to 6W. or 70/.), and the presents of books for a reading room, to be established under the protec tion of the Union and management of the Council, which is to be opened to-day (Thursday); having had the list of the subscribers, &c., and their sub. scriptions read, and eulogised Mr. Hume as the originator of the project, urged the necessity of amalgamating all parties in a project that was for the good of all, and the exclusion of none—the Tories, that their opinions (if founded on truth) might be can vassed dispassionately, and adopted, if demonstrated; and the Radicals,that they might show a disposition to maintain political property, as they had shown a determination to destroy political abuses and en croaching privileges.—(Hear.) He referred to a letter from Sir Francis Burdett, cordially coinciding with the idea and establishment of a reading room, and of giving books and a handsome subscription towards it. He mentioned some papers and other periodicals that had generously agreed to give their publications gratuitously till the funds would per mit their purchase; and concluded by moving the adoption of a petition to the House of Commons concerning the abolition of taxes on knowledge. The petition was not from the Committee of the Council ; it asserted that the calamities of the country proceeded from " the want of due instruc tion being disseminated among the people, and that the daily press and cheap publications are the sole means of diffusing knowledge among the poor, yet that these are so oppressed with taxes as to prevent a proper and prudent competition among the pub lishers of instruction, political and otherwise, and to prevent their purchase by a large majority of the poor; therefore, requesting a repeal of the taxes on newspapers and paper generally, and of the duty on advertisements." Major REVELL seconded the motion. Mr. WAKEFIELD supported it at some length. Mr. MURPHY wished that the present petition should be adopted, not for the purpose of debarring a comprehensive and energetic petition like that referred to by Mr. Wakefield as requisite, but for the purpose of showing the country that they were not sleeping on their oars—that they were awake to the interests of the working classes, particularly in affording them the best and cheapest knowledge. Mr. PLACE objected to having the stamp duty On advertisements repealed, as it was a material source of revenue, and did not militate against the diffusion of knowledge. Major REvELL spoke concerning the necessity of having instruction afforded cheaply. I-Ic instanced a county in Wales (Brecon), where he said the Ma gistrates were so inimical to the diffusion of cheap publicAions and of Political Unions, that they re fused renewing the license to any publican or others interesting themselves in those publications or Unions. The motion was subsequently withdrawn, on an understanding that a petition, eriginatmg from the Sir JOHN NICHOL gave judgment in this cause to-day. This was a question respecting the vali dity of the will and codicil of the late William Snell Chauncey. The deceased died worth about 25,0001., the bulk of which was left to Mr. Brown, the de ceased's natural son, the residue to be given during life to his two daughters, and, failing of issue, to go to Mr. Browu at their decease. The testamentary papers were opposed by Captain and Mrs. Burke, the latter being the legitimate daughter of the de ceased. Nearly one hundred witnesses had been examined on behalf of the opposition to the will, and of the executors under it. The gist of the case was the sanity or insanity of the deceased, and on the latter ground the will was opposed. The de ceased, it was alleged, was greatly addicted to drink ing, but that, the Court observed, did not prove in sanity. When the will was drawn, in 1824, Mr. Brown was abroad, and was in Wales when the codicil was added ; and the deceased had made several other wills previously in his favour. The opponents were unable to sustain the charge of insanity ; and the contrary was borne out by the testimony of the witness who drew the will and codicil, which witnesses, the Learned Judee said, stood unimpeached. This being disposed of, the question of costs then came under the considera ►ion of the Court, on which the Learned Judge ol- served, that it was strange that at the very time Captain Burke was representing that the deceased was insane, he was himself endeavouring to obtain from him. a roore equitable distribtaion of his pro .eer►y. In consideration of th►s, and of the long time Mr. Brown had been kept out of his property, the Court to prevent such oppositions in future, ordered the Captain and Mrs. Burke should pay the full costs from the commencement of the suit. IN THE CAUSE OF SCHOOLIIRED, ESQ. Dr. LUSHINGToN said, the application he had to make was a peculiar one. The deceased in this case died by his own hand, leaving property to the amount of 40,0001. He executed a will in favour of his wife and family, &c.; but on his death a memorandum was found, dated the day before his death, making material alterations. The question was, if this p,per could take probate ? Sir JOHN NICHOL—The paper was not a finished instrument : dying as the testator did, there were good grounds for believing that the deceased was not in a fit stme to execute a testamentary paper the day before he died. The executors must there fore have probate of the first will and codicil. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, MANSION-HO USE. Some days ago the wife of a poor inmate of Whitecross-street prison applied to the Lord Mayor under the following circumstances :—Her husband, a watch-case joint-finisher, who has five children, had been thrown into prison on the most distressing occasion. In last June the prisoner's son, a lad about IS years old, was employed as an occasional waiter at tea gardens. An elderly man acted to wards the young man in such a manner one evening that it was thought necessary to take him into custody, and to appear against him before a Magis trate at Hatton-garden next day. The Magistrate committed the old gentleman to prison to take his trial, and the witnesses were hound over to prose cute and give evidence in the sum of 3001. The young man being a minor, his father, the White cross-street prisoner, was sent for, and required to become surety for his son in the above amount. Before the commencement of the Sessions at which the trial of the delinquent was to have taken place, the young man left his home, and had not since been heard of, and there was entertained no doubt whatever that he had been induced, by a large bribe, to abscond, as had also another waiter, and neither of them appearing at the Sessions, the ac• cused, who turned out to be a man of fortune, living in one of the large squares, was acquitted. The recognizance of the young man's appearance having become forfeited, the father was arrested for 300/., the amount, in October, and committed to Whitecross-street prison. The unfortunate prisoner being a poor illiterate creature, not being able even to read, Mr. Barrett, the Governor, investigated the case, and caused a petition and affidavit of the facts to be prepared. Mr. Bodkin, the barrister, gratuitously gave his ser vices, and moved the Court of Quarter Sessions to discharge the party, who had, under such circum shtoa,nvceevse,r r e e e j n e c m t e a d de : t r s e p c o r o t s u i b r t l e s . e e m T e g i t n o o b ti e on of w op as i.. , nion, after having conferred with the committing Magistrate, that there must have been some collusion between the father and son. Mr, 13arre;ithen — ;aited — upon the Magistrates of Hatton-garden, and informed them that he had made careful inquiry of the neighbours who lived formerly in Sutton -street, Clerkenwell, with a view to learn his general character, as well as to ascertain whe ther, since the son absconded, there had been any appearance of improvement in the circumstances of vie family ; and he had found the father described as an honest simple-minded man, many years resident on the same spot; and that since the disappearance of the son the family had become much distressed, that their goods were pledged, and that, in fact, there was the strongest testimony of the ignorance of the unfortunate father as to his son's intentions. Tne Magistrates received the application with po liteness,but said that they could afford no assistance. The prisoner then applied to the Lord Mayor, who said that he considered the case to be one The complainant declared he was always in time; but it was the practice to supply those who had short lengths to finish, in preference to those mon who had more, which happened to be his case. At the conclusion of a lengthened investigation, Mr. Alderman WiLsoN said, he was of opinion that the case did not come within the description of any of those in the Act alluded to. He remembered that when the weavers' wages were settled at the Quarter Sessions, it was always an argument with the Counsel for the weavers, that if fivepence a yard was a fair p►ice in some instances, then, according to the probability that the men would be kept at play in others, it should be increased to sixpence, or serenpence, or eightpence ; and, though wages were not now set, still compensation for the play was made in the prices that were given. He, therefore, dismissed the complaint. The weaver, in leaving the room, threatened to appeal to Mr. Hume for an interpretation of his Act. BOTV-STREET. Yesterday Robert Lewis was brought forward to be re-examined on the charge of having forged a cheque for 1001., on the bank of Messrs. Hoare, of Fleet -street, purporting to bear the signature of Mr. Thomas Fookes, of Sherborne, and committed for trial, but he will be brought up again on Saturday next, when Mr. Fookes is expected to arrive in town to give the necessary evidence with respect to the cheque. A person, who gave the name of Williams, was charged with having taken indecent liberties with a boy in the Is. gallery of Drury-lane Theatre, on the previous night. The facts deposed to were proved by the evidence of the boy himself and two witnesses, who had watched the prisoner's conduct in the gallery and subsequently in the lobby of the theatre. Ledbitier, the officer, stated that the Is. gallery of the theatre was constantly infested by such fellows, who sometimes appeared in the dress of livery ser vants, and often came splendidly dressed as gentlemen. Rogers, the police-inspector, said that when the prisoner was brought to the station he had a valu- able gold watch in his possession, besides which he was decked out with a handsome guard-chain, a brilliant diamond pin, a gold eye-glass, rings, &c. He had also a profusion of fur on his coat, which he had since removed. The prisoner, in a mincing feminine tone of voice, attempted to throw discredit upon the witnesses, who appeared against him, and said that the charge was trumped up for the purpose of extorting money from him. Mr. HALLS—YOU have given the name of Wil liams ; do you mean to say it is your real name ? Prisoner—Certainly I do. Mr. HALLS—What business or profession do you follow ? Prisoner—l am a teacher of writing. Mr. HALLS—Where do you reside in town ? Prisoner—l have no particular residence in London. I travel about from place to place, teaching writing. Mr. HALLS—Then I suppose we should be greatly mistaken if we were to say your real name is Dean; that you live in Tavistock-street, Covent garden ; and that you are a teacher of languages as well as of writing ? The prisoner, who appeared by no means to relish this expose, was then fully committed to take his trial for the misdemeanour, and the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. UNION-HALL. Yesterday George Copper, a young man having a defect in both eyes, was brought before Mr. CitAstnEns, charged with the offence of bigamy. Caroline Harrison, a fine tall well-looking young woman, stated that the prisoner and she lived in the service of a gentleman of fortune, and that while there the former prevailed on her to marry him. They were accordingly married on the sth of Octo ber, and it was only within the last few days that she had ascertained that he had another, if not two more wives living. The witness added that the pri soner introduced his first wife to her as his sister, and therefore she was ignorant of the fact of his being a married man. The first wife, who was present, admitted that the second wife had asserted that which was true relative to her having been introduced as a sister of the prisoner. The reason she was introduced under that fictitious appellation was owing to the prisoner telling her that his master had a great objection to married men, and therefore he had passed as single, and to keep up appearances she was desired by her husband to pass as a sister, but by no means as a wife. The first wife complained that the prisoner kept her on very short allowance for some time pre viously to his marriage with Caroline Harrison, arid that he deserted her entirely of late. Mr. ELYARD said that the explanation given by the first wife completely exculpated her as to the knowledge that the prisoner was paying his addresses to Caroline Harrison. Mr. CIiA3II3ERS expressed some surprise that the scond wife did not smell a rat upon finding the first wife, who then passed as his sister, was in the habit of paying him frequent visits. Caroline Harrison although vilely deceived by the prisoner, yet was willing to forego the prosecution, if assented to by the Magistrates. The first wife expressed her determination to pur sue the prisoner to the very utmost extent of the law. Toe prisoner loved both the women, and contra dicted the assertion of his first wife, as to his having kept her on short allowance, for on the contrary he rendered her every assistance in his power. Pople, the officer, stated that if the prisoner was rerranded he expected that he should be enabled to In answer to a question from Mr. Smith, witness F aid that Clarke had always been hotrst, and he would lend him money to any amount he could make out. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he should examine no more witnesses against Clarke, and would then proceed to the case of Patrick Kearney. Mr. SMITH th,n submitted whether he ought to go into Clarke's defence, or wait until the evidence against the other prisoners was taken. - The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said the whole case must be closed, as against all the prisoners, before the defence of any could be taken. It was convenient to have the evidence against each given as now, but as yet it was not possible to tell whether there might not be evidence against all together. William Davan, a boy ten years and a half old, examined—Knew the gaol down in the New Cut, by the river. Was there on the afternoon of Sun day, the 30th of October. Saw a great number of persons there, and went into the gaol. Had been there for a short time previously, and stayed until it was set on fire. A man very like Patrick Kearney asked him to go in. He had spots on his face. There was a great hole in the door, but when he went in the door was open. When he entered he went into a front place, there he saw the man like Patrick Kearney. Remained about an hour, and the man asked witness whether he would fetch some straw for him when the other went for it. Went for it, and gave it to the man like Kearney, the prisoner, who strewed it on the floor and set fire to it. That was the floor of the room. The man took a !.in from his ? socket, and poured the " turps" over the straw. There was a lot of pictures in the room, which were thrown out of the window an d d e stroy e d. The fire burned on, and be stayed until they an w ent away, when the place was all in a blaze. There were a great many people in the gaol. Had been in the room for an hour with the Mari. Believed him to be Kearney ; he was very like him, but " arn't .ure it is him." Never saw ±he man sivce he aaw him in the gaol; but afterwards, when the constables c a me after him, he was asked it that wea the man, and he said he believed it was. It was, be believed, an the Tuesday, or only a few days after the straw was set on fire, that the ennstab;e. Carle. Belie v ed Patrick Kearney then to be the man. Kearney went away ten minutes before witness. Cross-examined—His father lived in London. Went to school, and was not punished there. Went to the gaol to see what was doing there. Nev:T saw the man before. A gen•leman cattle to the gaol and told them they'd have to pay for it all, when th,y said they'd have the dock gates down. Could not be sure that the prisoner was the man. Charles Salter—Remembered Sunday, the 30th of October. Was at the gaol that day at about four o'clock ; stopped about three parts of an hour. It was on fire when he went in, but he did not see any fire when he first came. There was a great mob. Did not go to the Governor's house, but saw people taking out the Governor's things. Saw a per-on breaking them. That was Patrick Kearney. Saw him take the Governor's things, throw them down, and break them. There were chairs. At that time the house was on fire. Cross-examined—Did not know the prisoner's name, though he had had dealings with him. Had reason to be dissatisfied; it was about some Irish cloth. Could not well recollect the time, but it was when the wild beasts stood in the Grove. It was last year. Did not know any one named Frank ham. Never had any conversation with mortal man as to any cause of complaint or grudge against Kearney. Not knowing the prisoner'a flume, he still knew his person. Upon his solemn oath, with out hesitation or doubt, the prisoner was the roan. Wm. Appleby, a baker, was at the gaol on the Sunday named. Went in at the front door. It was then open. There was a mob. Went into the yard between Mr. Humphries's house and the front door of the gaol. Part of the Governor's house was then on fire. Saw one of the prisoners there, the fifth from witness (Kearney). Prisoner was theft in the yard, near the front door, breaking and de stroying Mr. Hurnphries's furniture and goods. The people were heaving the furniture out over the steps. Saw Kearney about ten minutes thus engaged. Witness stopped about that time hithself. During that time some of the mob were very busy. CrosS-examined—ln answer to a gnestion whether there was anything so peculiarly remarkable in Kearney as to be the only person he noticed, wi,ness said he saw Clarke also. He had kilo , n Keatney's person before, and had seen him in a beer shop. At the time of the fire believed prisoner wore a different dress from now, and from the other times he had seen him. Notwithstanding these differences he could positively swear to Kearney. i Saw another man breaking things. Did nor foll oin. ow o'clock on Mondav tion. Was in Queen -,quire about slx 00(: that evening. Went again abo ut ed until between slit and sev , n. morning, and remain William Thomas—nenm:7d the ni ght in goes- There was rioting going on at both periods. On
