WORSUIP-STREET.—Application was made to SAMUEL TWEFORD, Esq. the Sitting Magistrate, to bail one Charles Benjamin, committed last Thursday to the House of Correction as a rogue and vagabond, for three months. This 'case is important to the public, on account of the new punishment it inflicts upon frauds, which had been hitherto committed upon the unsuspecting with impunity. The prisoner Benjamin, last Thursday, entered a shop in Shoreditch, and, dressed like a gentleman's servant, which he stated himself to be, offered to Mrs. Barnard three coats for sale. The prisoner said that as he came a Jew had offered 71. for them; but he disliked the Jews so much he would rather sell them for less money to any body else. The poor woman was tempted to look at them, and in came a Jew, pretending to offer ss. more, which the prisoner refused. At this instant one Huet, a parish officer, having noticed the conduct of these im posters, entered, and succeeded in'se.curing the prisoner and bringing him to this office, where he smiled at the futility of the charge. The Magistrate referred to the last Vagrant Act, 3 Geo. 4, c. 40, which enacts" All persons endeavour. ing to impose upon a private individual by any false and frau dulent representation, either verbally or in writing, with a view to obtain money or some other advantage or benefit, shall be deemed a rogue and a vag a b on d." Under this section the pri souer was convicted, and committed to the House of Correction for three months. . It appeared that the prisoner would have a coach in coming to the Office, and the coachman now applied for his fare, but the prisoner being convicted, refused to pay a farthing; how ever, by the same statute, the Magistrate ordered him to be searched, and his money to be taken from him, out of which the coachman was paid, a nd th e res id ue ordered to be applied for the other expences in apprehending, and for the support of the prisoner in prison. The prisoner's Solicitor now referred to the same statute, sec. 16, which says the party may appeal with sufficient sure ties, to prosecute. He therefore urged that the prisoner was entitled to be at large, upon producing good bail to prosecute his appeal. Mr. TWYPORD took time to consider, and afterwards said he had perused the whole of the Vagrant Act, and was of opinion that the commitment in this case was a commitment in execu tion, and that the clause giving an appeal did not empower him to admit bail. The cause of appeal was the same in 17 Geo. 2, c. 5. He referred also to the cases of Rex v. Burke, 2 Term Reports, p. 190, 196, and Rex v. Rhodes, 4 T. R. p. 228, where the same argument for bail was urged ; but it w a s h e ld' by the Judges th a t a p r i soner committed in execution did not admit of bail. On these grounds the worthy Magistrate re fused the application. HATTON-GARDEN.—Yesterday the Magistrate informed Limbrick, that they had received a letter that morning from the Ordnance Office, ordering the fifteen stand of arms found in the empty house in C urs i tor - street , to b e sent to the Tower, and ordered him to take them there directly, and he should be paid any expense he was at out of the office funds. QUEEN-SQUARE.—On Saturday afternoon after our Re porter had left this office, Mr. Martin, M.P. (of Galway), re turned, followed by Joseph Waters, the Woolwich coachman, against whom he had preferred the complaint for wanton cruelty to one of his horses ; when the latter stated that he had made up his mind to submit to a conviction at that time, instead of availing himself of. the delay which had been allowed him for the purpose of bringing forward witnesses ; and, on the in terposition of Mr. M ar ti n , t h e M ag i strates convicted him in the mitigated penalty of 10s. and 55. costs, which he paid,— (Morning Paper.)

CITY, MONDAY EVENING Mercantile intelli , ence has been received. this morning from various quarters, and that from Odessa is to the 30th ult. At that time there was not any thing new in politics-ex cepting the currency of a rumour that the Turks had closed the Bosphorus against all merchant ships. The only reason which can be assigned for this act, should the report have any foun dation, is the present most favourable state of Greece. The Turkish fleet has been expelled - from the Archipelago, and the only chance which now remains to the Sublime Porte of re. ducing the rebellions Grecian people is by the intervention of starvation. The liberty of the Mprea is, however, nearly esta blished, and the efforts of despotism in the barbarity cannot now avail even the members of the self-denominated Holy Alliance. A bright prospect is opening on the human race, and ancient Greece will soon be able to bestow on mankind be nefits as great as those which flowed from the former illustrious population of that highly favoured portion of the earth. From St. Petersburgh the letters are dated on the Gth August, N.S. It is either not convenient, or not fashionable to mention politics in private communications from this capital of the Czar of Moscovy. Even the movements of the Erimeror are not alluded to. Trade was exceedingly depressed, but this depression was a natural consequence of restrictions and prohibitions in the ex-. change of commodities necessary for mankind. The Exchange on London was 9 15-16 a 10d. on Hamburgh 9 1-4 a 9 3-8. The 6 per cent. paper inscriptions were 99., the 6 per cent. silver loan 94, and the 5. per cent. silver loan 80 3.16. Tallow was exceedingly dell at 100 rubles, which is considerably above the future prospects of the English market. Hemp was quoted 85 to 86 rubles, and very little doing. The diStress was great, but it originated from natural causes. • The letters from Hamburgh are dated on the 20th August—, The Exchange on London at two months was 37.1. and for short paper 37.4.; on St. Petersburgh paper was in demand at 9, and Austrian Metallic Fives found a brislesale at 80i. Every other description of Foreign State Securities was in de niand, thereby furnishing a melancholy proof of the depression of commerce. The sales of Coffee and Sugar were exceedingly heavy, and there.was no article of general consumption which did not leave a severe loss to all who ventured to speculate. . Letters have been received from New York which corn .municate very distressing intelligence from Beston. At that city more than two hundred failures had happened, chiefly amongst the retail dealers. A great many had also taken place at New York, and much farther distress was anticipated. The Government of the United States has fallen into commercial mis takes, as palpable as those in which the older Governments of Europe find themselves entangled, and they endeavourto account for these failures from a temporary deficiency in the circulating medium., The word temporary is exceedingly consolatory to Statesmen, for in place of searching out the real causes of public distress, which often is not convenient, they content themselves generally with, referring every calamity to what they denominate temporary causes. America has her high duties and prohibitions. She wishes to encourage native manufactures at the expence of her own population. Heavy duties have been imposed on the consumers in America of British manufitctores, to compel them to use those of their native country, which cannot be produced on equal terms with those imported from Great Britain. The consequence is, that the national wealth is injured by the inhabi tants paying more to themselves for what they consume than the same articles could be purchased for from foreign nations. The present mercantile distress in America clearly flows from the in habitants being compelled to pay more than is necessary, and con sequently more than their productive labour can afford for articles necessary to their comfort'. They are also injured by an evil the necessary attendant on high and prohibitory duties. Smuggling has been carried to a destructiee extent. The transfer of _British manufactures from Canada to the United States has greatly added to the national distress ; for those who consume these smuggled articles pay more for them than they could be obtained for by direct commerce. The just tradesman, who paid the Govern ment duties on. European manufactures, has been undersold by the smuggler; and the present distress and ruin amongst American traders is the sure consequence of restricted com merce. The fair trader has been destroyed, whilst he who has evaded the laws of his country has probably been more successful. Free trade will, when nations understand their real interest, cure all these calamities ; and the next Session of the British Parliament will, it is hoped, show an example of liberal com merce. At Loyd's Coffee-house, this day, the first vessel acting under the extension of the Navigation Laws has arrived in the Downs, from Jamaica. She is called the Alknomack. Her cargo is naturally kept secret, and she is bound either to llam burgh or Amsterdam. No doubt can be entertained of the ad vantages which must result to the British Colonies from the permission to go direct to th e b est mar k et having been grant ed to them, without incurring the expence of agency and-tran shipping charges ; and the Empire will be more prosperous, by the application of equal privileges to y every department, either of import or export commerce. Lloyd's books this day again exhibit a melancholy list of lost property. The Fame, Captain CLARKE, a very valuable ship, from Cal. cutta and Madras to London, carrying more than one thou. sand tons of goods, has peen totally wrecked on the 14th of June, at the Cape of Good H o p e . M r. COFFIN, the purser; Mrs. MILLS, Miss BANKS, and five other passeuers (invalids), perished. The Grace, Captain Letherbridge, another valuable ship, with wool, &c. from New South lirales for England, was accidentally burnt on the Ist June at the Cape. Information has also been received that the Zephyr, Captain Lumsdale, on her passage from Jamaica to London, was boarded on the 7th July by a schooner of two guns and 35 men,which took away a part of the cargo and threw the remainder overboard. Captain Lumsdale was obliged to pay to the piratedoubloons and silver to the amount of 15001. to prevent them from burning the ship. All the passengers were robbed of their property, and the Mate was detained on board the pirate. This is a curious case, and should be well inquired into by the underwriters. If it can be per fectly authenticated, then the strongest remonstrances should be forwarded to the Admiralty ; for it is scandalous that the mighty British Navy is not permitted to protect the commerce of the empire. The British merchants round Cape Horn are trusting for protection of their property to an American 74 gun ship, and a merchant ship cannot come from Jamaica to London with any degree of safety. The empire is distressed, but the navy never can be called the cause. To reduce the mi litary and to increase the navy would confer the greatest be nefit on the commerce of the country. Acknowledged Agents, hoWever, in the new South American Free States would do more good in routing out piracy in the Southern Seas than e ven se veral men of war co u ld effect; and it is deeply to be lamented that the British Government should hesitate in admitting a fact so notorious as th e p er f ect f reedom of Haiti, Colombia, Melt ico Chili, anti Peru, A letter has been received, via Biemen, from Capt. THOM SON, of the Greenland ship Perseverance, dated on the 7th July, in about lat. 71. A t t h at t i me he had onlylaken one fi s h, an d States that the season h a d b een very unfavourable, and that, most of the ships were badly fished. The want of arrivals of ships from Greenland and Davis's Straits at so late a period, rather strengthens the fears of an unsuccessful season. The regular communications from Liverpool respecting trade are exceedingly unfavourable. During the last week, 1,060 hogsheads of plantation sugar hid been sold at nearly the prices of the preceding week, and nothing had been done by private contract. Six hundred bags of Bengal Sugar had been sold at 685., for fine yellow,' inferior and middiing white at 695. 6d. a 715., and good fine at 735. u 745. 6d, Two small parcels of ordinary Coffee had been withdrawn for want of buyers, and very little had been done in this article by pri vate contract. Good Pimento was tqa. per lb., and Jamaica Rum of prime quality was from 2s. 3d. to 2s. sd. a gallon. The sales of Cotton during the week amounted to about 5,300 bags. The demand was very limited, and consequently very dull. Sea Island was sold at lid a 204 d., and Pernambuco at 9,id. a 103 d. per lb. Very little was doing in Tobacco ; Virginia leaf at public sale brought 20. if lid. being the same as the private prices.. --(Morning Chronicle.) FOR. TIIE SUN. MR. EDITOR—There was a law once made (but since repealed) that a Judge should not try a cause at " Nisi Prius" in the county where he had property ;—I am sorry it is repealed ; I think it ought to be passed again into a law, with the addition by way of rider, that no Judge should go the same Circuit in which he had prac tised as a Barrister, until he had been on the Bench ten years, as I, think by that time all pre dilection in favour of those Attornies who had been in the habit of giving him briefs, would have ceased : for a Judge ought to be like Cxsar's wife, not even suspected. I am, your's, &c. X. v. Z. (From the British Momitor of Sunday.) " Up to this hour nothing is known of the future arrange ments in the Cabinet. The general expectation, however, is, that if Mr. Canning does not come into office, Earl Bathurst is to be the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and is, to be Succeeded in the Colonial Department by Mr. Robinson, who will be succeeded in the Board of Trade by Mr. Huskisson, who will have a seat in the Cabinet. Under this arrangement; if it takes place, Mr. Peel will be the leader in the House of Commons. It is affirmed that the Duke of Wellington, is to go, to the Congress. In our opinion it matters little who goes ; for we defy all the State Doctors to cure the disease which has unfor nately taken root in most of the countries of Europe. An, the pro tocols, and all the State Papers, of the Alexanders, the Fran_ cises, the Frederick Williams, and of the Metternichs, the Nesselrodes, and the llardenbergs, cannot will, rot, reconcile the Greeks to the Tutks,—the. Italians to the Austrians,—the Genoese to Sardinia,—the Poles, to the Russians,—the Nor wegians to the Swedes,—the Saxons to the Prussians,—the Ser viles of Spain to the Descanzisados,—the Buonapartean half, pay officers to the .Bourbons,—nor the Radicals of England to the House of Brunswick. Then Cni Bono. Why do these , Sovereigns parade themselves abont The first Congress al this century, which was the Congress 'of Vienna, un fortunately led to much mischief; lantr. - rto .future Con gress will ever be able to heal the rankling wounds which were there inflicted. The first and most important con sideration. should have been the means of establishing a sys:em that should harmonize the nations of Europe with each other. For if the sun shines at Munich, it cannot remain long dark at Vienna !—lndeed the Cabinets of the Continent soon became so sensible of their errors, and want of foresight, that at the Congress held at Carlsbad about three years since, it was actually in the contemplation of three leading Continental Powers, to put down the free constitutions of Wirtemberg and Bavaria, on the ground that their existence was incom. patible with that of the despotic states which surround. ed them. Even at the Congress of Layhach and Troppau, the three leading Sovereigns cut a very sorry figure.— Austria might very well have marched to Naples without the hat of a Congress !—But then the Sovereigns say, they met to put down the revolutionary spirit which prevails in the South of Europe. But they did no such thing; for while they quelled the revolutions in Naples and Piedniont. they contented them selves with merely barking at Spain and Portugal, too distant for them to bite ! We should think that what was wrong in Italy could not be right in Spain ! 'Therefore the very assembling of the Congress,_ and its omissions as well as c omm i ss i ons, proved its own inefficiency. The same inconsistencies were acted upon at the Congress of Vienna, where they determined to put down Murat and recognize Bernadotte ! ! Surely the one had as much right to the Crown of Naples, as the other had to that of Sweden ! In short, we can only compare these Congresses to the mountain in labour ! We predicted the failure of the Agricultural Committee of the English House of Commons; and so do we now predict the failure of the approaching Con. gress !—There are but two points which ought to come under deliberation ; and if England and France held now the same weight and influence in the Councils of Europe which they for merly possessed, they would insist upon unreserved and full explanations and derlarations respecting them.—One is, Who set the Creeks in motion ?—Was it or was it not, the Russians themselves who instigated them to revolt against the Porte ? It is important that this question should be satisfactorily solved ; for had the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh declared war against the Turks, all Europe would have been in a blaze. The se cond is, an explicit and solemn declaration on the part of Austria, that she does not intend, and never will consent, to any attempt, direct or indirect, openly or privately, to place Napoleon's boy on the throne of France ; and an unequivocal assurance that she will consider all who shall attempt to disturb the sovereignty of the Bourbons in France, as enemies to the House of Austria and to the repose of Europe.—Unless this be done we shall consider all the great Personages who are about to be assembled in Congress, as little better than asses or knaves !" FILTAT, PIETY.—The following observations on Filial Piety were translated from the Emperor Yong-tching's Book of Sacred instruction, by Sir G. T. Staunton, Bart.:— - " This Filial Piety is a doctrine from heaven, the consum mation of earthly justice, the grand principle of action among mankind. The man who knows not piety to pa rents, can surely not have considered the affectionate hearts of parents towards their children. When still infants in arms, hungry, they could not feed themselves; cold, and could not clothe themselves; but they had their parents, who watched the sounds of their voice, and studied the traits of their countenance; who were joyful when they smiled ; afflicted when they wept ; who followed them step by step, when they moved ; who, when they were sick or in pain, refused food and sleep on their account. Thus were they nursed and educated until they grew up to manhood.— The sons of men who would repay but one ten-thousandth part of this parental kindness, ought to devote to it internally all their heart, and externally to apply to it all their strength. They ought to be frugal and temperate in theft. persons, and di ligent in performing their labours, that they may always possess the means of evincing their pious regard to their parents, when ever their assistance is required." THUNDER STORM.—At Hope, in Flintshire, on Sunday the 11th inst. during a thunder storm, a 'boy attending a sand cart was struck down by the electric fluid, and soon afterwards expired.— On' the same day, the tower of Bangor Church was struck by the lightning during the time of Divine Service, by which some of the coping stones of the tower were forced upon the body of the building, to the great terror of the persons present. A woman was killed in the village by the lightning while in the act of milking. On Sunday morning the body of a respectable young woman was found drowned in the Regent's Canal, City-road, and carried to the Fortune of War for the Coroner's Inquest ; she was middle sized, fair complexion, dark hair, marked a little with the small•pox, and wore a plaid silk gown, black silk bonnet, light coloured boots, and her linen was marked with the letters A.

The Sitting was resumed on the 22d August. GAURANT r student in Medicine, denied all the declarations which had boon made against him' by HENON, before the Prefect of Police. •I-le affirmed with much warmth that he had never belonged to any club of Carbonari. The PRESIDENT admonished him to speak with more tran quillity, • GAURANT—I speak with the tranquillity of innocence. The PRESIDENT—You know that you belong to a society of Carbonari. GAURANT—If you know better than myself, I have no more to say. I can only repeat that I know nothing of any such society._ The PRESIDERT—A packet of 25 cartridges was found in your possession. GAURANT replied that it was a present made. him by one of his corbrades. The PRESIDENT—The rules of the Carbonari prescribe that every Member should possess 25 cartridges, and this, tact corro borates the declaration of Henon. thttntiwT—You know what credit is due to the declarations of Henon. The PRESIDENT—It is true that M. Henan has retracted some of the declarations which he had previously made, but the Jury will be able to determine what part of his evidence is con sistent with truth. The accused, Rose, also denied the first assertions of }tenon, and demanded to be confronted with his accuser.. The accused, Raoulx, admitted that he had been Secretary of a Society of Carbonari at Paris, but denied that they 'had any other object than a philanthropic association for the purpeees of mutual succour. A discussion ensued on the use of the poignards, which the accused maintained to be merely mystical symbols. LABOUREE, COCHET and PERRET'ON declared that they had withdrawn from the Society as soon as they conceived that its objects might be reprehensible. Their only reason for retir ing was thelear of offending their commanding olfiders,• after they had heard of the arrest of Bones and,Raoulw. Seven other witnesses, all sqbalterns of the 45th.
