TILE LONDON JOURNALS. 7~ITIt:ICZ3 FROM THE 13111,Y MOftnING PAPERS: September 20, 1822. [HORNING HERALD.] The accounts in the German Papers represent the affairs of the Greeks as hopeless. Their 'Thil;tary and civil government, within and without “te Felopunnesus, are described as wholly dis , organised. We have not for a moment 'advo- saied the armed interference of this country for their emancipation—not because such a measure was not within the limits of strict right and justice----but because it would be politically un wise, even to extravagance, in the present situa tian and relations of England and other Powers. - Neither were we very sanguine as to their - ultimate and unaided triumph over their bar .barian tyrants. But there was some ground, from the energy and perseverance which thoy had hitherto shewn against the enemy, that they would be able to maintain or improve their position so advantageously, as to nthie them to better terms of pacification, and nothorise the Christian Powers to demand more favourab:e conditions at the approaching Con gress, from, the Porte. It is true their cause has heen:advocated with enthusiasm and exaggera tion,.and their heroism exalted beyond its value. Yitiat could be more natural among a free, edu cated, and Christian people ? We believe the .;reeks had at least the best wishes of Fatgland, in her actual situation, was all they could - have. There was nothing unreasonable even in contemplating their conquering independence with their owtr swords. Men knowing the value of freedotn i and fighting to gain or to defend it, 'lave a powerful ally in the principles and ils.zincts of their cause. Even tyrants them eves have done homage to this power. rstOaxism canolucr.E.ll As might be expected, Mr. Canning's appoint -rrtent has rather changed the views.of some po litical aspirants, than defeated their hopes. The interest- which that Right Honourable Gentle p9ssesses at the India Board is supposed to place the present disposal of, the Governor Generalship in a great measure in his hands, and he has iii consequence become the Idol which the admirers of Eastern magnificence and power now worship. As yet, however, we believe, he has. not_ decided among the candidates. We understand that the first day Air. Canning ttended his duty at the Foreign Office, so anxious was one, of his Cabinet Colleagues to congratulate him on the occasion that he -w-itited for an audience, in Lord Clanwilliam's k.;!ffiCe, during a period of two hours, while the itew Minister was transacting business with the Russian Ambassador ! Several other instances .t..f profound respect are also said to have been - .liitnessed at Downing-street and elsewhere since Feiday fist ; but hitherto, unfortunately, with out producing the desired effect. Should Mr. C. Wynn be ultimately nominated to succeed the .....arguess of Hastings, it is rumoured that Mr. '.itlarges Bourne will be raised to the Presidency cif the Board of Controul. [hIOIIXING POST.] Paris Papers - to the 18th hist: reached us last bight by express. They contain fresh extracts frorrr they Austrian Observer, but that Journal stterned to have exhausted its stock of news or fabrications (for which they are is not yet clearly accertained), and having nothing to add with re sp'ect to milithry operations, expatiated on the ravages occasioned by the plague in Albania, Porn whence. it is stated to have followed the into the Morea. '!'!re inhabitants of Joan idna had quitted that taw•n,,and dispersed them selves throughout the country, which only served to extend the contagion. Two of them having reached De!vino, died the day after their arrival at that and left it a prey to the scourge under which- :they had, themselves fallen. All the lonian islands in the neighbourhood of Corfu had been protected by the establishment of - a- quarantine of 15 days, and the usual quaran- tine fegulatiens were strictly observed in all the pOrts of the Adriatic. On the 30th of August at one o'clock, p.m. a smart shock of an earthquake - wes.felt at Agram, accompanied with a subterra- CeOUS sound resembling thunder. The concussion — w most-sensible amongst the mountains which surround' the town, in a direction from the West to the N.ortb. It lasted five seconds. Two days before, on the 28th, at 40 minutes past 10, in the &nothing, antl in serene weather, a similar shock Lid been experienced at Venice. With respect t 04116 ev'enfs Said to have taken place in the Mo res, the greatest uncertainty still prevails. An article - from Trieste, dated the 2d instant, and publiShed in the .dugsburgh Cazcile, confirms 1.1114 ° irrilplibn of. the Turks into the . Peloponne sus, bUt unjustly ascribes their reported successes to. the influence of British gold. [NEW TI M ESI It will be, seen that the Bank Meeting went off yesterday without producing the result which many persons had anticipated. A Dividend of 5 f)ei.cent. for the half year was unanimously agreed't6... Yank Stock afterwards advanced 2 per c'ent.; but the other Funds experienced no ait.ration. The cause of the Greeks in the lii >rea sero . to be hopeless, by the dispersion and lii,!!ht of the . aelf-constituted Senate. Most happy bhould we have been to have hailed the vival of civilization in Greece, and therewith, of national independence ; but we have been all along persuaded that the Greeks are quite incompetent to make such a rapid advance in po litical light and: power. They must advance through progressive stages . of melioration, under the guidance,, and with the helping-hand, of wjser States. This aid, we trust,' they will re- • _ ceive at the approaching Congress; and that they will thus he led into, the path of real improve merit, until, in " the fullness of tiine,'° all their chains shall be broken, and the brighter days of Grecian freedom shall return. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Paris Papers of Monday contain intelli gence of a melancholy character for the cause of Greece, whose struggles for liberty, we had hoped, would have led to an happy issue--= . -to an issue, if possible as glorious as that which crowned its efforts against the voluptuous and despotic Persian. Certainty is said to be at all events, better than suspense : that may hold in matters not of an important or desperate nature, out of which do not proceed "the issues of life ;" but when the case is that of a whole people en deavouring by patient endurance of discom fiture, and by courageously encountering all those difficulties which . , in a less sacred cause, or with less ardent followers, would lead to dis heartening and despair, we anxiously seize on every doubt which can fairly be attached to a relation of the defeat of the oppressed, and the triumph of their oppressors. The political bias of the Journal (the Austrian Observer) so strongly pervades the article in which the Greeks are said to be so decidedly without fur ther resource to oppose the power of the Turks, that we would willingly believe the picture (though some of the features may be in part cor rect) is highly coloured. It announces the dis solution of the Greek Senate, and the complete triumph of the Turks in the Morea. They are also said to have gotten possession of Corinth; the latter statement, unfortunately, is supported by so many different authorities, that it is scarcely to be doubted. The Observer, too, quotes letters from Corfu of the 13th of August, proclaiming that the war in Epirus was concluded by the capture of Suli. Other accounts say, that the Suliots have been, in some instances, successful. It then pro ceeds to state, that Omer Pacha. Brione, who was engaged in restoring tranquillity in Albania, !;ad made application to the English Government at Corfu for an asylum for the Suliots. But a difficulty of an insurmountable nature presented itself—the plague was devastating, and the city of Janina in particular was nearly depopulated ; so that all communication was on the point of being broken off with that country; [TIIE TIMES.] Deep interest and anxiety were yesterday ex. cited in the city, until the determination of the Court of Proprietors of Bank Stock was publicly announced. That determination, indeed, was, according to custom, prescribed to the Proprietors by the Court of Directors, which latter has long exercised an unbounded sway over the votes of the Corporation, as well as over their money. Why the Bank Directors should desire—why they should not be, ►we had almost said, ashamed—to possess the absolute dominion over other men's property, except on the condition of rendering to their principals some account of the manner in which they have executed their trust, is to us altogether inconceivable. In private life, what would be said of an agent accepting a trust which imposed upon him such a systematic and indelicate concealment of the vouchers for his own good faith ? Would not severe reflections be cast by some upon his seeming ►want of ho nour, by all upon his manifest ►want of wisdom, in exposing himself to needless doubts, to sus picions, perhaps groundless, and to uncharita ble and offensive _sarcasms ? But it will be said the Bank of England is a public concern ; it is directed by men of unquestioned cha racter for integrity ; and the mystery which envelops it may be indispensable to the mainte nance of its credit as a corporation. We re ply, that the Directors are men of known good character, and that the credit of the Bank ought to be an object of their utmost solicitude; and for both these teasons it is that mystery and disguise of every sort ought to be sedulously avoided. Honest men have nothing to fear from frankness, nor has the credit of so powerful and flourishing an establishment as the Bank of England to fear any thing from the most complete disclosure of its operations ; while, on the other hand, the owners of the Bank capital—the constituent body who choose the Directors—have an indefeasible right, in common sense and justice, to . the fullest satisfac tion respecting the management of their own con cerns. In other great Banking Corporations no such mystery prevails as is here contended for. The Bank of Edinburgh,.and that of France, pro claim and demonstrate every thing. We were sorry to see, That when the Governor yesterday felt himself compelled to notice a letter from Mr. Gundry, the proprietor, who has on former occa sions stood up so manfully for a statement of account, he described the letter as being " in that pro " prietor's usual style!" We suppose the Pro prietor asks for ►what he conceives to be his ricrlit and does not condescend to supplicate a boon from his own agents. But the acknowledgment of the Governor himself goes strongly to coun tenance a suspicion that the affairs of the Batik have not been managed with perfect and indis putable wisdom. A dividend of 5 per cent. is announced,, on which Mr. Young, a proprietor, asks these t►wo questions—" Have your profits, " consequent on a reduction of the rate of discount, " been compensated by an increase of business ?" And, secondly, " Have you enough of profit left "to allow us the proposed dividend ?" The an swers are ►worth attention. First, " Our profits " are of course reduced since the peace." And, secondly," The Court of Directors were satisfied " that the profits were sufficient to meet the divi " dend, or they would not have recommended it." Let us ask then, if a reduced profit be equal to a dividend of 10 per cent. per annum, why ►were not the dividends throughout the war proportioned to the undiminished profit of that period ? What surplus over 10 per cent. per annum was paid to the Proprietors during the war ? and what sums in the form of bonus ? and to what extent did either correspond with the now admitted excess of the foymer over the more recent pro fits ? These considerations, we say, are of grave importance when the Directors call upon their principals to continue the unlimited confidence hitherto reposed in their official judgment and integrity.. CORONERS' THE EXPLOSION OF A STEAM BOILER:: Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, ad in quest was held in the Committee-rcioni of Camberwell work house, before CIIARLIcS J.EMMETT, Bsq. Coroner for Surrey, on the bodies of John Denford and Samuel Buckleridge, young men, who met their deaths at Messrs. Cleaver and Yardley's glue-manufactory, Wells-street, Camberwell, in consequence Of the explosion of a steam boiler. The first witness examined vidX John Sparks, a young man residing in Bowyer-lane ' Cambetwell, Who stated that on Tues day last, about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, he was employed in the manufactory of Messrs; Cleaver and Yardley, in Wells street, Camberwell, with the deceased. They were at work at a steam boiler. Witness Was a the fire in order to supply it with the necessary fuel, when one of the deceased (Denford) was coming into the manufactory from the yard attached to it ; Buckleridge was near to the boiler, and neither of them were more than six yards therefrom. The boiler was at the time charged, and they had the steam at work at 361 b. upon the square inch, which was much under what the boiler was sup posed to contain: This was the first day of trying it, to see whether it was sound. Mr. Haughton, of the firm of Haugh ton and Fraser, who had lately repaired the machine, was present to superintend the trial, with Buckleridge, who was his foreman. Mr. Haughton wished the boiler to be tried at forty, and witness was putting some fuel on , the fire in order to raise it to that pressure; on doing which, he felt the ground shake under him while lie was at the front of the furnace ; being very much alarmed, he attempted to run away, and at the moment the rafters and joists gave way and fell on him, which knocked him down, when he heard a great explosion—which appeared to witness like the shooting of cart loads of heavy stones. Thomas Denham, the engineer's man, was standing on an erection above witness, and he, together with the floor, came down in consequence of the shock, and fell upon witness. At this period the whole of the building was falling down, and the upper part of the boiler was blown about 12.0 feet in the air, leaving the bottom in its original situation. On recovering himself, ha endeavoured to creep from under the rubbish which surrounded him, and he proceeded with Den ham to the assistance of those who were more perilously situat ed. On getting into the yard, they heard the groans of Mr. Haughton, the engine-maket, who was buried under a mass of bricks, timber, and rubbish. They went to his assistance, and succeeded in getting Mtn from under the ruins. Buckleridge, just before the explosion took place, said, that he would stand near the place even if it was at 60 degrees—he was killed on the spot. Witness had worked at steam-engines before, and this was made in the same way as others were made. He did not' see any of the deceased , until they were taken out of the ruins. The force of the steam and water dashed Denford against the corner of the wall, and lie was severely scalded. Buckleridge was quite dead, but Denford heaved a very heavy sigh, and died almost immediately. The weight of the boiler was estimated at about four tons. It was never sound • it had a leakage and was repaired, but was afterwards unsound, on which a new bot tom was put to it. A Juryman asked, whether the bottom was not rivetted on a new plan ? Witness answered that it was' rivetted in the same way as others, but it was all the new work that gave way. They had the valves fixed at a certain pressure, and occasionally they were relieved. Witness used his own discretion in the supply of fuel to the fire. In the whole five persons were injured beside the deceased, and so seriously than they were carried to the Hospital without hope of recovery., Mr. Charles Yardley, of the firm of Cleaver and Yardley, glue-manufacturers, of Wells-street; Camberwell, was next sworn. Mr. Yardley appeared to be very much injured in con sequence of the melancholy accident ; his head was bound up with a handkerchief, &c., and since the accident he was under the care of Mr. Brown, surgeon, of Camberwell. Being sworn, he stated that on the day of the accident he was at the manu factory, viewing the operation. Ile was standing near the boiler when it burst. Witness at first heard the noise, but did not consider it of serious consequence, until a mass of bricks fell on him ; then lie anticipated all the consequence .which arose from the accident. Ile was about 6 yards from the machine when the bricks commenced falling on himi and he was obliged to run to save his life. Mr. Haughton was present when they were trying the boiler ; he heard a dashing inside, which he thought was the steam. Ile ran to the extremity of the yard, and on turning round he perceived' the whole of the building falling down. The pressure of the engine was from 3.5 to 38, but was guaranteed to hold 601 b. on the square inch. Witness heard the groans of Mr. Haughton, and saw him when taken out of the ruins. The deceased, Denford, was witness's fore man, and Buckleridge was in the employ of Mr. Haughton, who warranted the boiler to hold 1501 b. on the square inch when it was brought from Birmingham. It had been altered twice. _ _ Mr. Brown, surgeon, of Camberwell, stated that he was called to attend the deceased at the workhouse immediately after the accident. Denford evidently died through suffoca tion from steam and dust, and Buckleridge through a dreadful fracture on the skull. John Angel, a coal porter, employed at Mr. Hicks's, opposite to where the accident took place, heard the - explosion and went to assist the unfortunate sufferers ; the building was all in ruins ; he found Mr. Ilatughton• lying on his face covered with the ruins over his head and shoulders; he next found I)enford, who was scalded very much, lying in the corner of the manufac tory ; Buckleridge he found eight or ten yards from the door way, covered with the rubbish, and seriously bruised on the head, and he had the appearance of having struggled much to extricate himself : they were carried to the workhouse on shutters. The Jury, after a snort consultation, returned a verdict of " Accidental death, occasioned by the bursting of a steam boiler." PENITENTIARY AT MILLBANK. Inquisitions were yesterday taken in the Penitentiary, Mill bank, by THOMAS Iliccs, Esq., deputy for J. H. 6E1.1, Esq., Coroner for Westminster, on the bodiesof Edward Chubb and Elizabeth Collis, convicts, who died therein on Tuesday last. The Jury having been empanelled and sworn, and taken a view of the bodies, Mr. John Couch, Governor of the Peni tentiary, was sworn, and stated that the deceased Edward Chubb was convicted at Gloucester on the 29th of March, 1820, of cutting away. the gold seals from a Gentleman's watch, and sentenced to be transported for seven years, which punishment was commuted to five years' confinement in the Peniten tiary. He was received therein on the 23d of May, 1820, at which time he stated himself to he nineteen years of age, and remained there till he died. Elizabeth Collis was con victed on the 15th of September, 1819, at the Old Bailey, of stealing 251. in Bank of England notes and a watch, for which she was sentenced to be transported for seven years, but her punishment was afterwards commuted to five years' confine ment in the Penitentiary. She was received therein on the 6th of July, 1820, at which time she stated herself to be 27 years of age, and she remained till she died. Mr. John Pratt, surgeon of the Penitentiary, was then sworn, and stated that Edward Chubb was removed from the Penta gon to the Infirmary on the 21st of April last, for a scrofulous affection of the neck. He had been subject to the disease prior to his confinement in a slight degree, which afterwards in creased, and he had been in the infirmary for it several times before. It went on increasing from April, and assumed a seri ous aspect about a month since, when the lungs became tuber culated. A hemorrhage from the lungs took place about four o'clock in the afternoon of Tuesday last, the 17th instant, of which he died in about half an hour. Elizabeth Collis was re moved from the Pentagon to the Infirmary on the 18th of March last, complaining of pain about the chest, which gradu ally increased and terminated in consumption, of which she died about half-past 8 o'clock in the evening of Tuesday last, the 17th inst. She told the witness that all her family had died about the same age, of the same complaint. Both parties were attended from the commencement of their complaints by the witness, and Dr. Hutchinson, physician to the establishment, and every thing was done which in their judgment was proper towards their cure. Chubb had been recommended for dis charge, in order that he might be removed to the sea coast.— Verdict in both cases—Natural Death. LEEDS.—On Wednesday se'nnight two women introduced themselves into the house of a Gentleman in this town, under the pretext of selling small wares, one of whom, who had a young child with her, exhibited to the female ser vant some slight-of-hand tricks, winch raised in the mind of the poor girl an apprehension that she was posses s ed of some su pernatural power, and which induced her to deliver to this pretended sorceress the most valuable part of her wearing ap parel, receiving, at the same time, a promise that it should be returned to her in a few days, with some charm performe d upon it. The impression which the supposed supernatural powers of this wretch made upon the young woman was so (Treat, that it was some days before she ventured to disclose what had happened; and she declared to her master, that she was so much afraid of the woman, that she would have given every thing she had in the world to get rid of her. 'A he same woman appears to have obtained other property, from different persons, by similar absurd pretences. We understand that the Noblemen and Gentle men, friends to the general amelioration of the condition of this country, and to the modification of the tithe sy s t em have it in contemplation to give a public dinner to the Duke of DF.VON- Sit tnE,.when he passes through.

OLI BAILEY. Yesterday, Pete' Henry Neele was indicted for stealing two handkerchiefs, the Property of Samuel M'Clary. The handkerchiefs were stolen while the prosecutor was riding on the back seat of the Paddington stage. Verdict— Guilty. James Moore and Nicholas Moore were indicted for a bur glary in the house of W. H Southwell, Seething-lane. Mi. Southwell has a residence at Islington. On the 21st of July, he left that house secured ; returning about dusk, he found his house bad been entered and a number df articles ab stracted. Both prisoners were apprehended on the 22d, and the pro perty was found on the person of James Moore, the son of the other prisoner. The boy did not know what was in the bundle. The father came up, and claimed the bundle. Mr. Southwell identified some of the property. Verdict— Guilty of stealing, but not of house breaking and entering. Mr. Justice BEST—The boy has been led into the crime by his father, and if he could provide for him, he would willingly do so. The boy had just returned from sea, where he had served on board Mr. Fox's yacht. Mr. Sheriff Venables promised to provide for the boy, and on that account Mr. Justice Best said his punishment should be merely nominal. James Moore was again indicted for breaking into the house of Jaiaes Napier, and stealing four silver spoons and other property. The theft took place on the 21st of July, and the prosecutor got back his property from the prisoner's wife. The capital part of the charge was departed from. Verdict— Guilty, but not of entering the dwelling-house. Thomas Howis surrendered to take his trial for stealing a promissory-note for 101. 10s., the property of Mr. Alexander Walker. Ann Walker is wife to A. Walker, Warrant Officer in his Majesty's service. On the 29th of December last, she being tenant to the prisoner, offered him his rent, but he would not deduct the land-tax. The note was laid down in place of the receipt, the prisoner snatched it up. She did not prosecute him before, because she hoped he would return the note. Catharine Johnstone saw the bill of exchange in the hands of the prisoner. Ann Walker, daughter of the prosecutor, saw the note. It was granted by a man of property ; she had no doubt it would be paid. Mark Rurtington also saw the note in the hand of the pri soner. Was present when the note was taken by Howis. Saw the note drawn out ; could not write, but put his mark to the note. Had arrested Howis for money previous to this affair of the note. Mr. ANDTtEws took an exception to the terms of the indict ment. The note was about the person of the prosecutors, and thus had not the protection of the dwelling-house. DEFENCE.—The prosecutors had combined to go from place to place and swear against him, till they either hung or trans ported him. This arose from malice. Mr. Justice BEST thought there was ground for a civil ac tion, but none for a felony. If, however, the prisoner had the note, he had better return it. The prisoner—" So help him God!" never had the note. He was acquitted. Thomas Gordon for assaulting W. Clark, on the 22d August, and taking from him on the King's highway a watch, chain and seals, value 21. The prosecutor was walking with his wife, the prisoner jostled him, took the watch and ran off, crying, " stop thief !" Followed the prisoner, who was never out of his sight but one moment in turning; the chain was broken, and the seals found where the watch was taken. Cross-examined.—lt was a little dark, but he could see the face of the prisoner, and speak positively as to his dress. Had got worse pushes, such as the counsel or his wife might have got many times. Robert Cockley picked up the seals. Mr. Page stopped the prisoner and took him into custody. Prisoner was detained while they were calling stop thief. Mr. Justice BEST summed up the evidence. Guilty-- I Death. - _ Wm. ..,tilton was indicted for assaulting Thomas Davis, a youth, and taking property from him on the highway. The prosecutor was in Great Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn fields, on the 13th of August ; was struck down, and the bundle was dragged from him ; does not know the prisoner. Mary Davis, mother of the prosecutor, was near ; saw no thing done to him ; but heard him cry, " I have lost my bundle."--Officer brought him the bundle. The Constable.—The prisoner was brought to the Watch house by the Officer (Crawley) on the 12th of August. Pri soner had been taken. Barwell saw him take the bundle from the boy. The boy was on the ground, and they snatched the bundle from him. The boy and mother cried " Stop thief !" and he stopped pri soner accordingly.—ldentified the prisoner. Mary Davis had the things to wash ; she identified them. Barwell cross-examined.—The prisoner was the same who took the bundle ; said Davis was his brother. • Defence.—The prisoner's master, a shoemaker, and some other persons, gave him a good character, and that he had ne ver been in prison. —Verdict, Guilty—Death. Mr. WONTNER, after sentence had been passed, said that the prisoner had been in Newgate before. This the prisoner denied, and the roll of confinements being examined, it was found that there was a doubt whether it was not his brother ; upon this the Jury recommended him to mercy. Eleanor Smith and Mary Lowe were indicted for stealing a parcel of silk, the property of Abraham Jones, from the house of W. Mitchell. Hanah Jones lives in St. Leonard's, Shoreditch ; went into a public-house where the bundle was taken possession of by the prisoners; they refused to give it up. Waters, the Officer, apprehended them. P. J. Mason saw Smith come out with the bundle, and hand it to Lowe. Waters, the Officer, found them quarrelling, and the prose cutrix complaining. The Judge departed from the capital part of the charge. Verdict— Smith Guilty ; but Mary Lowe not. Lowe left the Bar crying. John Brown was indicted for stealing, in the dwelling-house of William Morgan, two shirts and other articles, the property of John Carey, value above 40s. Verdict, Guilty—Death. Joseph Moore, a boy of 14, was indicted for stealing sixteen dolls, value 15s. lid., the property of his master, James Hunt. He carried the dolls out in a basket, for sale, and when found three days after, he had sold them and kept the money. Verdict—Guilty under the Act passed last Session for more effectually punishing fraudulent Clerks and Apprentices. PERJURY. Edmund Burke was put to the bar on an indictment charg ing him with having committed gross and wilful perjury at the Justice Hall, in the Old Bailey, on the 3d of July last. It will be recollected that the prisoner appeared as a witness on the trial of his brother, Tobias Burke, for bigamy, he hav ing in 1815, married Miss Mary Butler, of Cashel, his former wife being still living. On that occasion the prisoner swore that he was at Mr. Butler's on the day the marriage was sworn to have been solemnised, and that no such ceremony took place ; that his brother was so intoxicated as not to know what he was doing ; and that he never gave his brother away in marriage to Miss Butler. In consequence of what took place on that occa sion, Mr. Justice Holroyd, who heard the case, committed the prisoner to Newgate. Messrs. ALLEY and BRODERICK conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Cifas. Pliter.tes, the defence. Julia Butler was the daughter of James Butler, of Cashel, Ireland ; witness had a sister, Mary, who was married to Tobias Burke, the brother of the prisoner, in June, 1815, who was tried in this Court last July, for bigamy ; the prisoner was pre sent at the marriage, and gave his brother away ; the ceremony was performed by a Catholic Priest. Cross-examined.--Witness came to this country in May last. She was about 19 years of age, but could not say exactly. The marriage took place in June, 1815. She was born in the month of August, but could not say on what day. Would not swear that she was not 21 in August. •The family dined at 5 o'clock, shortly after which the marriage was solemnized. Did not think the Priest dined with the family. Witness could not say how long after dinner it was before the marriage took place. The company had not drank much before the Priest came. Witness went to bed about ten o'clock. The marriage took place before she retired to rest. There was no other festival on the occasion than what took place in the family. Her sister Eliza, Mrs. Conlan, another sister, her father (since dead), her brother-in-law, Mr. Carney, the prisoner, A cousin, and Mrs. Stapylton, were present at the marriage. The witness came forward to give her evidence with the greatest reluctance. Be lieved a claim had been made for the expences of herself and her sister of 3001. since May last. The witness was a servant to her mother. Wine and punch were drank after dinner. She was certain the marriage took place before she went to bed. She had never seen Tobias Burke at church before- the mar riage. She had seen him after at mass. She knew him but a short time before the marriage. She did not know how long her sister had been acquainted with the prisoner's brother, Tobias. Re-examined.—Did not wish or expect any reward farther than her expences, and now came forward with the greatest reluctance. 'Eliza Butler corroborated the testimony of her sister, and swore positively that the prisoner gave his brother away : Mr. ALLEY said this closed the case for the prosecution. Mr..Piatnnips addressed the Jury at some length. He complained that Mr. Alley had,not. kept his pledge to produce the wife of Tobias Burke. In fact the Counsel for the prose cution had confuted themselves to calling no more witnesses than prescribed by and one of whom could oral ~b • been 12 or 13 years of age at the time : H e dw e lt on the isaT„ sion that 3001. was expected, and called on the Jury to W well the relative situations of the parties, and to give the r id soner the benefit of any doubt. hit d The RECORDER summed up the evidence to the Jul, found the prisoner—Guilty. The Court was crowded during the whole of the trial, I w>' l43 . did not close until a quarter past 11 o'clock. The RECORDER immediately sentenced.the prisoner W imprisoned six months, and then transported for seven yea"' POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Bow-STREET.—Yesterday John Furby, Rrrn. FOl itt°4° . Wm.
