gentleman shall not be repeated, namely, that 1 Ministers had, by tin it interference with the Currency of the Bank, occasioned great losses to the Corporation. This was said at a meeting called to receive a dividend at the rate of 8 per rent. on a capital increased one-fourth V , ithin the last 16 years, and with a reserved fund or "rest" of nearly 3,000,0001. more ! If this be a los ing concern by the interference of the Govern ment, how enormous must have been the losses of the country by the same mismanagement ! It was amusing to hear the insinuating manner with which another Hon. Proprietor coaxed the Go vernor to tell him whether the " rest " bad in creased since February last. We can assure him that his rest will not be so snug or'secure under a reformed Parliament. With the vote of thanks to the Governor and Bank Directors, as mana- gers of the private concerns of their establish ment, we have nothing to say. They may have their proposed " statue of gold " for aught we care, if there be so much gold in their cellars as to compose one for each ; and if there is not, probably a brass one, covered with their own stamped paper, may be as appropriate. But for the management of the public concerns of the establishment,—for making and issuing paper money to the nation,— for acting, in short, as a paper mint, we owe them neither gratitude nor respect. By tampering, with the currency,-,--.by capriciously or selfishly enlarging and contracting , their issues,—by rending restriction acts 'neces sary at one time, and taking the shortest way of amassing gold at another,—they have been ,the source of greater calamities to this country than any nation ever endured from a single source. of evil Times. It was our intention to have offered - a few re marks on the part which Mr. Hume 'has - taken in proposing Mr. Roebuck at Bath ; But we must leave them for another day. The ques tion of how far men of the same party should pull together, at a time like the present, is one which it is difficult to settle satisfactorily. The best answer will be found in the determination of the people of Bath. We have occasion to know that Mr. flume did not volunteer the proposing of Mr. Roebuck, but that it was re presented to him (as it was personally to our• selves, with what justice we know not) that Mr. Hobhouse was not acceptable to the peo ple of Bath, and that they were determined to have another Candidate. If Mr. flume felt satisfied that Mr. Hobhouse would not be re turned (and we assume this merely for the sake of argument), he might wish to see the pla . ce filled by one of whose views he approved, rather than by one of whom he knew nothing. There is a material difference between stepping for ward in order i 'to create dissatisfaction between the electors and the Candidate, and stepping forward after the dissatisfaction already exists. The people of Bath may be fond of Mr. Hobhouse, but if they are not satisfied with him, we really do not see with what consia ency any Reformer can object to their seeking out one who is more to their satisfaction, or to the new Candidate for yielding to the wishes of the Electors. There should be an understand ing on these matters, in order that liberal Can didates may not stand in the way of each other, and an enemy be suffered to come in. When a Candidate discovers that he has nk - good prospect of success, he should withdraw, in order not to be an obstacle in the way of another, who, though differing from ,him in some things, is still nearer to him than a. Tory can be.—Morning Chronicle. We call the attention of our readers to the account of the dinner given to Lord John Rus sell, at Torquay, on the Bth of September last, and more particularly to the important speech of his Lordship, in which, alluding to the intro duction of the clause regarding the 501: a year renters, contrary to the opinion of Ministers, he declares that " if the landlords of this• country should presume upon their power—should pre. some upon their terrible position, to compel men who have entered into no such bargain, to - dis pose of their votes as mere servants of their landlords—l must tell them, 'and- fairly • tell them, that we shall resent it, and -that other measures must follow.—(Long and continued cheering.)" His Lordship did not leave his hearers in the dark as to the mode•in which it would be resented. "If (he said) it should come to this, that I must either adopt such a measure, or that I must see the• tenantry of England ranged at elections, contrary to the• wishes and feelings of themselves—(klear, hear) —I should have no hesitation—l should have no doubt—l should renounce my previous opi nion, and I should at once adopt the vote by ballot.—(Cheers.)" We knew it-would soon come to this. The Noble Lord warns the Tories not to use that harsh and arbitrary power—but they will neglect his warning—and The tenantry, in self-defence, will insist, as a matter-of -course, on the ballot. One sword drawn keeps another in the sheath.—Morning Chronicles • ' - At the meeting of Bank Proprietor's; yesterday, the feeling seemed to be, that the evidence commu nicated by the Directors to the Committee'ofthe House of Commons had raised the Bank in the opinion of the country. Mr. Lloyd moved the thanks of the Proprietors to the : Court of 'Di rectors, for the manner in which thby had Sus tained the character of the Bank in the evidence given by them before the Select CoinMittee, which was adopted with one or two dissentient;;. The Governor, in returning thanks, said " he could not omit returning his personal thanks to the Hon. Proprietor, for the handsothe manner in which he had spoken of his own - condUct:; coming from such a quarter, whetectalent and enlarged views were combined, it - was doubly gratifying." The Bank Directors And the. pri vate Bankers sail in the same boat ; bnt liotwith standing all this " claw me, claw 'yo'n,""we are much mistaken if a Reformed Parliament will altogether coincide in opinion with their'', that all is for the best. —Morning Chronicle: We need only very briefly notice the meeting of the Proprietors of Bank Stock held yesterday, for the whole tenour of it proved that tte indi victuals composing it were impressed with th l o opinion we have uniformly maintained, ,that th Directors are entitled to the utmost confidence of the proprietary and the public. Theluestion raised respecting the advantage of giviug pub', licity to the accounts, distinct from thepublica: Lion of the bullion reserves, is undoubtedly one for serious discussion ; but we do not ,believe that a half-yearly publication of them, ikould answer the purpose proposed, because an _excess of profits, or casual losses, might swell or decrease a half-yearly account, and thus give false view of the affairs of the Bank: flowevci, we will not now enter more into this question. The Governor, of course, did not consider him self justified in producing accounts that would expose the affairs of the Bank, unless he had the sanction ofa majority of the Court for doing so. Under all the circumstances of the case, we should think that the proceedings of the Court must have been highly gratiffing to the Go vernor and the Directors, and we are confident will be equally satisfactory to the public.— . r orni?T' Post. In offering the following remarks upon the injurious effects of a renewal of the small-note circulation, we think it can scarcely be necessary to guard ourselves more than we have done against any misunderstanding with respect to our opinion of the measure of 1819. That measure we are ready to acknowledge was faulty. In point of time it was too rapid in its progress ; in point of operation it was too narrow in its prin ciple. The opportunity was then afforded to the Government to enter upon a capacious view of the currency, to possess either a gold or a silver circulating medium, and to place it upon a solid foundation. That opportunity was lost, and fifteen millions of gold was brought into the country to act in the .place of the small notes then in circulation. In stating that the ar rangement of 1819 was an unsatisfactory one, at least the most was not made of the oppor tunity that was then presented for the establish ment of the currency upon an unexceptionable basis. We do not cast blame upon the Govern ment of that day, because we know the difficul ties to which they were exposed, and the whole of that discussion was carried on under an excitement but little calculated for Parliament or the Executive to arrive at just conclusions upon the complicated subject. However, we are now in the position which that measure left us in, with 15,000,0001. of gold in circulation. Now, with respect to an issue of small notes, we sup. pose, of course, that it will be admitted that the security being equal, the notes will soon force the soveriegns out of circulation, or, in other words, that a gold and paper circulation cannot con tinue together when the security is the same. Then comes the question, what is to be done with the gold ? So long as the balance of trade is in favour of this country, a hogshead of sove reigns must be sold like a hogshead of sugar, and the Bank could only disgorge itself of its coin in foreign operations; for, so long as the exchanges are in favour of England, it would be as rational to look for water running up hill as gold leaving the country in the regular mer cantile course of business. Under this view of the question, it does appear quite quixotic to expect that an issue of small notes would produce an extension of the circulating medium, inasmuch as it would drive the gold from the performance of its present function. The only true course to that end would be that which is proposed by Mr. Attwood, to cause such an inundation of small notes as would necessarily compel the Bank to aban don all its just proportions with regard to its means and its liabilities, by which scheme prices would rapidly advance until the cheap goods of the Continent were imported. to such an extent as to turn the balance of trade against this country, and, after having .run riot in speculations more rash than those of 1825, the nation would ultimately reach a Restriction Act, with the commercial distress consequent upon glutted markets abroad, and at home ware houses overloaded with unsaleable goods. We have thus very concisely for the present offered our opinion against the adoption of a measure that is now extensively spoken of, in which opi nion we know that we are supported by nine teen-twentieths of the merchants of London, and by a vast majority of the commercial body throughout England, upon the mere business part of the question, without reference to the ap palling fact of the immense increase of forgeries that would follow a small-note circulation.— Morning Post. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. John Keene, the owner and driver of a dust cart, was charged with having committed a most out rageous assault upon a gentleman named Hart. The complainant stated, that as he was driving his cabriolet down Finch-lane, on Thursday last, at two o'clock, he saw that the way was completely blcked up by the defendant's dust cart, which was half full of rubbish, and after some inquiry, he found the defendant in a vault near it, bringing up baskets of dust. He requested that the defendant would remove his cart in order that the cabriolet might pass to Cornhill, to which a most insolent and pe remptory refusal was given. The complainant then removed the cart out of the way himself; but the dustman in a rage let fly at him, struck him violently on th e jaw, and -- his eyes for daring to touch the proper y. The fellow was taken into custody on the spot, but let go as the Lord Mayor had left the chair at the Justice-room. The complainant de termined to follow the master up, and sacrificed his convenience for the protection of others, from the attacks of so brutal a fellow, by remaining in town merely to have justice done. There were several gentlemen present who attended to give evidence in the case. Alderman WILSON asked the defendant what he had to say in exculpation ?—The dustman, in a loud and independent tone of voice, said that he had given the " gemman" a push, as well as his eyes for daring to move his cart and horse, but after he " gived the shove" he handed over the gemmen his card as one gemman always done with another —(A laugh)—but no attention was paid to his card, barring pulling him afore a Magistrate, which war'nt jest the way a card ought to be served. • Mr. Alderman 'WILSON supposed he owed to that observance of politeness upon the part of the dustman that person's present appearance at the Justice-room. The dustman said he went further, for he was blest if he didn't offer the gemman share of a glass of brandy and water, if he would only consent to apologise for putting hands upon the cart and horses while he was a" filling on ern." Alderman WILSON—Why did you strike the complainant ?—Dustman—Strike! by George I didn't do no sich a thing. It's all a gallows lie. But, please your Worship, where's the use in keeping a cart and horse-to carry these here loads of dirt and keep away the cholera morbus, if a body's to have 'em pulled about by a fellow in this here kind of way ? Alderman WiesoN—l see by your conduct to day, that you must have acted in the most ruffian like manlier, and I shall send for another Magistrate and decide the meter at once. The defendant was ordered to stand aside, but lie slipped off, and upon the arrival of Alderman Thorp was not to be found. The officers, who were immediately sent in quest of him, found him, however, in a cellar, while his cart and horse occupied the whole of the carriage way, and they lugged him off to the Mansion-house. Two gentlemen confirmed Mr. Hart's statement, and declared that no language could be more abusive than that used by the defendant. The dustman was ready to swear, not only that he had not used, but that lie did not know how to use abusive language. He was, he said, a freeman of the City, had served the King nine years, had a wife and six children, followed the busitie,s of a dust collector, with his own cart and horse, and wallet capable of acting unlike a gemman.—(A laugh.) But he had offered his card and a glass of brandy and water, and what could a gemman do more, sup pose he did give another gemman a punch on the head.—(Loud laughter.) The comical ruffian was then told by the sicigis trate, that lie was convicted in the penalty of He said that he could not pay that money, and way sentenced to imprisonment for two months. G UILDHALL. James Beresford, the newsvender in Fleet qreet, was brought before Sir CHAPMAN IVIARsuALL yesterday, for final examination, charged with cut ting his wife's throat with a pen-knife, on the evening of Wednesday se'nnight, his wife being now sufficiently recovered t) be brought up from the hospital to give evidence. When she came forward she said she should de cline being sworn. She did not wish to prosecute him. All she desired was a separation, and that the prisoner should find sureties for his future good conduct. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL said it was not in his power to legally separate them. He had under stood the charge was of a serious description; but he could know nothing, unless she made the complaint, and if she refused to do that, he must be discharged. The prisoner begged she might be allowed to ast upon her own feelings. She had said she desired a separation. Now if, after living together 25 years, and weathering many vicissitudes together, she seri ously desired this, he would leave London, giving up to her the shop and all, and every thing that be longed to him, except his wearing apparel. The wife seemed incredulous, and again asked for sureties, still refusing to be sworn. Sir CHAPMAN, after consulting with Mr. Savage, a Common Councilman of the ward, on the case, again asked the wife if she woold make any charge, and she again refused. He said he could compel her to give evidence, but he had some regard to the natural affection shown by the wife towards her husband. _ . Mr. Alderman SCIIOLEY (who had dropped in) asked the prisoner what had led to this unfortunate business ?—The prisoner said none could regret it more than he did ; and if, unhappily, he had caused her death, he would not have survived her one hour. No couple had lived together more happily than they had for many years; but, as the adage went, " as poverty crept in at the door, love flew out of the window ;" and on this occasion there was a jar and a scuffle between them; but the affection he now bore to his wife was stronger than when he first knew her. He reiterated his promise to leave Lon- don, &c. The Alagistrates then discharged him, with an admonition to be very circumspect hereafter in guard ing against gusts of passion. B 0 TV- S TREE T. Yesterday Nicholas JVood, who stands charged with having been concerned in breaking and enter ing the dwelling-house of Mr. George Clarke, hay salesman at the Irongate-wharf, Paddington, on the 29th of July last, was brought before Mr.MINSHULL for re-examination. Mr. Woofer, from the office of Mr. Harmer, at tended for the prisoner, and several of his friends, members of the fraternity called " the swell mob," were lurking about the office, and endeavouring, it was said, by bribes and persuasions, to induce the witnesses to falsify their evidence. Mr. Clarke deposed to the fact of his house hav ing been entered in his absence, on the 29th of July last, when property to the amount of 4001. was car ried off by the thieves. Police inspector Adamson said, that a man named Thomas Jephson, now in Newgate, and under sen tence of transpoitation for seven years for another burglary, had been an associate of the prisoner; and, he had good reason for believing, had been concern ed with him in Mr. Clarke's robbery. Ile (the in spector) had two witnesses now present, whom he had taken to Newgate that morning, and both of them identified Jephson as one of the three men who were observed to stand close to the premises of Mr. Clarke on the day of the robbery. Ann Clarke, wife of a labourer, residing opposite to the Irongive-wharf, Paddington, deposed, that on the morning of Sunday, the 29th of July, the man whom she had that day seen in Newgate came un der her window and asked her if she knew whether Mr. and Mrs. Clarke were gone to Harrow. She replied that she (lid not know, but she would a.k her husband. The man, however, walked away, and she beard of the robbery on the following morning. Edward Mack, a milk-man, who had previously deposed to his having seen the prisoner and two other men tying up a bundle in a passage leading from the rear of Mr. Clarke's premises, said that Jephson, whom he had seen in Newgate, was an other of the men. The prisoner and he were stand ing close together. He had no doubt whatever of their identity, having passed them several times, and taken particular notice of their person. The clerk of the Sheriff of Middlesex produced three Bank notes,—one for 501., one for 201., and one for 51.,—which were produced at the trial of Jephson, and handed over to the Sheriff on his con viction. Airs. Clarke, the prosecutor's wife, swore positively to the 50/. note as one of those which the thieves had carried off. Mr. "Mrssnut.t, advised the prosecutor to endea vour to trace the other notes, which, it appeared, he had not marked. Inspector Adamson produced several phosphorus boxes, and also a chisel, which he found in the pri soner's lodgings. He also found several pawnbro kers' duplicates for books pledged in the Borough, all of which he had no doubt were the produce of another robbery. The friends of the prisoner were, however, too active for him (the inspector), for al though he lost no time in going to the pawnbrokers' to see the books, and endeavour to discover the owner, he found he had been anticipated, and that the whole of the books had been redeemed, in order that they might not be made evidence against the prisoner. Mr. Wooler said, that as yet lie had heard no thing to affect the prisoner. All that was in evi dence amounted merely to the fact of his having been seen near the prosecutor's house, in company with Jephson, on the morning of the robbery. Inspector Adamson said, that he should proba bly have had more evidence to produce, if Mr. Woofer had not possessed himself of the property which the prisoner had in his possession when ap prehended at the New Inn, Old Bailey, on the day appointed for Jephson's trial, He (Mr. Wooler) un dertook to search the prisoner, and took from his person a gold watch, two 51. notes, and a purse, containing some sovereigns. Mr. Mrsisnuer, asked Mr. Wooler if he had brought this property with him ? Mr. Woofer replied in the negative, and said it would be forthcoming whenever the Magistrate re quired. Inspector Adamson said that Mr. Clarke had been ' robbed of some 51. notes, also a watch and a purse. He thought it very probable that the property in the possession of Mr. Wooler might, if produced, have been identified by the prosecutor; and he consi dered, that Mr. Woofer had acted very improperly in taking possession of property in the possession of a prisoner, and failing to produce it before the Magistrate. Mr. Wooler said he was quite prepared to justify his conduct in the transaction. He considered that the inspector had acted most unfairly in taking the prisoner out of Court, and app; ehending him on a charke of felony, when he Ole prisoner) was at tending as is witness on the part of Jephson. He certain'y took possession of the prisoner's property, under the impression that some unfair advantage might be taken if it fell into the hands of the in spector, who had acted in a most scandalous manner on that occasion. The inspector retorted, by accusing Mr. Woofer of endeavouring to pervert justice and screen his elimit. He charged him with throwing a silk hand kerchief, found on the prisoner, to a female, who was present when he was taken into custody, in order that it might not fall into his (the inspector's) hands, and be produced in evidence, as it probably would have been, some silk handkerchiefs having been stolen from the prosecutor, with the other pro perty. Mr. MINSIIULL said, that as far as he could judge of the inspector's conduct, he appeared to have acted most properly. It was certainly a subject of tegiet, that all the property found upon the prisoner had not been placed in the possession of the officer, who would, of course, have been answerable for its production. Mr. Wooler repeated that the property should be produced, and disclaimed any intention of keep tug it back with a view to defeat justice. The in spector knew the numbers of the two 5/. notes found upon the prisoner, so that there could be no collu sion with respect to them. Mr. MINSHULL said he should remand the pri soner for a week, and at the next examination he propored to swear Mr. Wooler as to the property which he took from the prisoner. The prisoner was then removed in custody. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday David Fitzgerald, a man of about 50 years of age, was brought from the station-house, in the custody of inspector Busaine, 48 G. division.-- It appeared from the evidence of the policeman, that yesterday morning, at an early hour, the prisoner came up to him, and said he wished to make a con fession to him of a robbery and attempted murder, in which he was concerned in Ireland about nine years ago. He stated that be was a Whiteboy, and about nine years ago a party of persons entertaining similar principles determined on breaking into the house of a Mr. Sandes, a gentleman residing at As keaton, in the county of Limerick, and robbing it.— They accordingly met, and did break into the house, when they plundered it of fire-arms and other pro perty. He stated that there were six or seven in the party, and two had been executed for the offence. Witness took him to the station-house, where he made a similar statement to Mr. Busaine, the in spector, and he was detained. The Magistrates (Mr. LAING and Mr. Serjeant SELLON) examined the prisoner, who persisted in his story. He gave a very distinct account of the manner in which the offence was committed by the party, which he had been compelled to join, and stated that he had been the means of saving the life of Mr. Sandes. Two of the party had been executed in Ireland, and the prisoner and others escaped to England. Mr. LAING ordered the whole of the prisoner's confession to be taken down in writing, and to be forwarded immediately to Ireland, with a descrip tion of his person. The prisoner, on leaving the bar, declared so lemnly that the whole of his statement was true, and that he was tired of his life. In order to afford time to the officers to make strict inquiries, and to receive the necessary answers from Ireland, the prisoner was remanded for a fort night. MAR YLEB ONE. Yesterday, Richard Riddell was brought before Mr. HOSKINS, charged by Charles Cochrane, Esq. of No. 27, Dorset-street, and nephew to the pre sent Earl of Dundonald, with creating a riot and disturbance at his house on the preceding evening. The complainant stated, that some time ago the Marquis Palmella was sent over to this country to raise recruits for the service of Dan Pedro, and that he and Sir John Scott Lillie were appointed as agents. In consequence of this, complainant em ployed the prisoner to enlist a number of men for that service, which he did; but although be had paid him every demand which he had a right to charge, he was continually annoying him by coming to his house and creating a disturbance, in order to extort money from him. On Wednesday night he came in his usual mariner, full of rage and liquor, and cre ated such a disturbance that he was obliged to send for a constable, who took him into custody. Mr. HosmNs asked the prisoner what he had to say in answer to the charge. The prisoner stated, in his defence, that he bad been a corporal in the 3d regiment of Foot Guards, and fought under the Duke of Wellington, and was present at the memorable battle of Waterloo; since that time he had been discharged from the army. In November last complainant called on him, and in formed him that he had received instructions from the Marquis Palmella to raise a regiment of soldiers in this country for the service of Don Pedro, but they did nor mean to enlist any men but such as had been for some time in the British service, and that he was to receive the command of the regi ment himself. He then made proposals to prisoner to assist him in raising a number of recruits, for which he was co he paid all his expenses, and receive a reasonable compensation for himself, besides being appointed quartermaster to the regiment. This proposal being acceded to on the part of the prisoner, he went clown to Chatham and enlisted 150 men for that service, and in doing so he had converted all his own property into ready cash, and employed it in that speculation, expecting to be reimbursed by his employer; but the regiment never was embo died, the speculation fell to the. ground, arid the men, after receiving their bounty, dispersed. Since that time he has frequently waited on the complain ant and Sir John Scott Lillie, but be has only been referred from the one to the other. He waited on the Marquis of Palmella at his house, No. 99, Mount -street, Grosvenor•square, but was informed by that nobleman, that the two agents, Mr. Coch rane and Sir John Lillie, had got ample funds in their hands to discharge every expen , e, and that he could not enterfere. He then wrote a letter to the Duke of Wellington, setting forth the hardship of his case, arid requesting his Grace to use his kind interference between the parties. His Grace did him the honour to write the following answer : " The Duke of Wellington has received Robert Riddell's letter of the 4th instant. The Duke is sorry it is quite out of his power to do any thing for him. He would better complain to a Magistrate against Sir John Scott Lillie, or whoever has taken him in." The prisoner denied he was either drunk or abu sive; they owed him a balance of account; he had sold off all his property, and wasted his means on the enlistment speculation, and he was now friend less and pennyless with a large family. Mr. Cochrane admitted that the prisoner had gone down to Chatham and enlisted a number of men for the service of Don Pedro, but again denied that there was any money owing to him. Mr. HostaNs said he certainly should not detain the prisoner on such a charge. If Mr. Cochrane wished to prevent the prisoner becoming clamorous, he had better pay him what he owed him. The prisoner was then discharged, and the parties left the office; but soon after Mr. Cochrane re turned, and stated that he had been insulted by Riddell, but Mr. Hoskins refused to interfere, and recommend6d him a second time to discharge Rid dell's demand. Captain John Oliver, alias Captain Adolphus Armstrong, an elderly person, of very gentlemanly appearance, and who appeared to have been afflicted with a paralytic stroke, was placed at the bar, charged with giving several persons false characters, for the price of 2/. each. The office was cleared of strangers previous to the investigation, and shortly afterwards Dr. White, the rector of Hampstead, accompanied by his daughter, entered, and took their seats by the side of the magistrates. Miss Caroline Emily White stated that the pri soner called at her father's house in the month of December last, and— The prisoner (interrupting her)—Are you sure it was me, ma'am ? Both Dr. White and his daughter answered in the affirmative. Prisoner —Very well. Miss White then continued—The prisoner re presented himself as a Mr. Hunter, of Maida hill, and stated that a man named Ch ar l es S er j eant h a d been in the service of his son-in-law, as butler, and was a i v n e Iy c° s o e r q i e u s e t n c a e n dgo o freod receiving vservant.favourable lVitrs' ies a s ifed-choemr, me ndation, engaged Serjeant, but he had not been in the family any length of time, before lie robbed them to a large amount, and is now on board the hulks for the robbery ; arid upon inquiry, it was discovered that there was no person of the name of Hunter living at Maida-hill, and that the prisoner had given a false address, and other wise grossly misre presented himself. Thomas Clements, an officer of Marlborough street, stated that, lie knew the prisoner at the bar In the year 1829, he was committed from Marlbo- rough-street for giving a false character to a man named St. Ledger, who obtained a situation as under butler in a Mr. Trotter's family, whom he afterwards robbed. Schofield, an office,. of Marlborough-street, iden tified the prisoner, and stated, that he had been com mitted several times before for similar offences, upon which occasions he generally went under the name of Captain Oliver. Edward Burridge, an officer of this establish ment, stated, that he had held a warrant against the prisoner for this offence ever since December last, and, notwithstanding he had used every artifice to apprehend him, he managed successfully to keep out of the way until Wednesday evening, when wit nes,., from information he received, proceeded to No. 38, Windmill-street, Tottenham-court-road, where he found the prisoner, in company with three others, playing at cards; and at the moment wit ness was entering the room, he said, " This is my trick," taking up some cards. He then took him into custody. Serjeant, who was convicted of Dr. White's robbery, stated to witness, when in New gate, that he gave the prisoner 2/. for his character, and that he made a constant practice of giving cha racters for that sum. Mr. HOSKINS—WeII, what have you to say to this ? Prisoner—lt is perfectly right, Sir. Mr. HOSKINS—Then I shall fine you 201. or commit you to the House of Correction for three months. Prisoner—l am sorry to say, that if I ..... . - - was going to be bulged, I could'nt raise 51., and I hope my years will induce you to mitigate the pu- nisliment. Mr. HOSKINS—That is no excuse at all, for your age ought to have taught you better. The prisoner was then committed. A fellow, mustachioed and wisktred, was charged with grossly assaulting three women in Oxford street. He called himself Mr. John South. Mr. HosmNs—That is not your name, Sir; but let me hear what the witnesses have to say against you. Sarah Williams first deposed that she Was asking her way to the Edgeware-road, between the hours of 7 and 8 last evening, at the corner of Regent-street, when the gentleman came up and behaved most shamefully to her. Here Elizbeth Trowbridge and Jemima Childers came forward to prefer each a similar charge. Mr. HOSKINS—WeII, Captain South, what have you to say 2—Captain South assured the Magistrate that his companion, not himself, was the person in fault; but the females were positive as to the pri- soner's identity. Mr. HosxiNs now consulted with Mr. TUBBS Captain South was ordered to pay 51. for each of the three assaults, or, in default, to be imprisoned six months in the House of Correction, to which place he was conveyed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Adolphus Boughton, an attorney's clerk, pos sessing a luxuriant crop of hair, very nattily arranged, was brought before Mr. CONANT yesterday for ha ving created a disturbance, by threatening to do some grievous bodily harm to one Mr. Richard Simpson. The policeman who captured Mr. Boughton said he wac compelled to take him into custody in con sequence of finding him, at a late hour on Wednes day night, while under the effects of gin and water, uttering in an elevated tone of voice to a crowd of person: the most magnanimous menaces against Mr. Richard Simpson: Mr. Adolphus Boughton prefaced his defence with an engaging simper, and assured the Magistrate he considered himself fully justified in the course he had adopted. The fact was, he had met Mrs. Simpson that afternoon, but not, as supposed by Mr. S., by appointment, and, out of pure friendship, he prevailed on her to take a glass of wine with him. After he had parted from her, he dropped into a wine-vaults in Poland -street, where he found Mr. Simpson sitting, whom he politely invit• ed to partake of a glass of gin and water he had order ed. Mr. Simpson, who was labouring under the influ ence of the " Green-eyed monster," rejected the offer ' with disdain, and, waxing wroth, called him " a blood-thirsty lago," swearing he was worse than Othello," and threatening to pistol him if he did not instantly consent to abandon now and for ever all further acquaintance with Mrs. S. " A propo sition so immensely absurd," continued Mr. Bough. ton, stroking up his hair, " that I felt myself bound, as a man of honour, instantly to reject it, especially as my intercourse with Mrs. Simpson has been hitherto conducted on the principles of politeness and civility only." Upon receiving this answer, Mr. Simpson threatened to call on his master, who lived in Ber wick-street, and acquaint him with particulars of a private nature. Mr. B. resented this with all the indignation of an attorney's clerk, and after a sort of skirmish had ensued, Mr. B. went out of the house and recorded his threats of vengeance in the manner detailed by the policeman. Mr. Simpson, a very harmless-looking young man, here stepped forward, and said the quarrel originated not so much on account of his wife, as from a demand he made for the restoration of sundry documents placed in Mr. B.'s hands for a particular purpose. Mr. CONANT allowed the defendant to depart, on paying the usual fine for the privilege of getting drunk. IRISH Rows.—An Irishwoman, named O'Neal, was brought into the Justice-room, faint and bleed ing from a violent assault she had just sustained within the precincts of the office. Another Irishwoman, Mary Barry, was placed at the bar to answer for the present and a former at tack on the female who appeared to be so seriously injured. The circum6tances of this case are illustrative of the ferocity and lax state of morality which prevail among the lower orders of the Irish in the metro polis, similar cases being of almost daily occurrence at this office. The first assault, as proved by witnesses against Mary Barry, arose from an improper intercourse which was represented to exist betwixt Barry's hus band and the woman O'Neal, who was married to one of her countrymen, who had attached himself elsewhere. Three Irishwomen, friends of Barry, proceeded to the room of O'Neal, and breaking open the door, dragged her, shrieking for help, down several flights of stairs, for the purpose of compelling her to fight the woman Barry, who was stripped in Lascelles-court, ready for the disgusting encounter. It was only by main force she was rescued from the clutches of these furious women ; but it was not until she had been severely beaten, and her hands bitten through in several places. Having procured a warrant for this outrage, she came yesterday to the office, where Barry was already waiting, whom:, sooner set eyes on her than she rushed on her, and gave her a tremendous blow in the face, at the same moment forcing a large pin quite through her ear. Goddard, the officer, who was near, took O'Neale away, but Barry contrived to make another rush, and fastening herself on her, tore the cap, bonnet, and hair of her head, with the fury of a tigress. It required several persons to take her from O'Neale, whose face was streaming with blood from wounds in various places. Mr. CONANT inquired if there was any evidence that O'Neale lived with Barry's husband ; but it turned out the man was such a desperate ruffian, that no one dare come forward, in consequence of his threats.

Mr. Alderman ANSLEY said, that from the evi dence adduced he should commit the prisoner for trial; upon which the prisoner (who is a well-look ing young man) said, " Thank you, Sir." The prisoner, when leaving the office,' with great sang froid, said to both wives, " Good by, my chucks ;" and to his children, " Farewell, my little dears." Oue of the children is by the second wife. CREDITORS of the late DUKE of YORK. The Committee of the creditors of the late Mike of York again met on Wednesday, at the Thatched House Ta vern, St. James's-street. They were attended by their So licitors, Messrs. Amory and Coles, of Throgmorton-street, and Mr. A'Beckett, of Golden-square, who reported, that since the last meeting they had devoted themselves, not only to a very minute examination of the voluminous re port of the Master in Chancery, made in the month of March, 1830, but to the investigation of a great variety of documents and viva voce evidence, which had been sub mitted to them. The result of that examination, as far as it had gone, was to convince them that it was not only the duty but the interest of the creditors to proceed with un ceasing vigour. On the head of judgment creditors, they made some forcible remarks, commenting on the special good fortune which attended certain parties, of whom three alone—the Bank of England, Messrs. Rundell and Bridge, and Mr. Rothschild, swept off upwards of 32,000/. out of the 41,000/. which had been paid. There were but 14 judgment creditors, while the simple contract and bond creditors, according to their calculation, would exceed 250. Of the jewels which had been spoken of—and they had ascertained that the Duchess of York had died possessed of a large quantity—they had been unable to discover any account whatever, in the answers of the executors, be yond those included in a general item, embracing sales by Christie, mentioning a small quantity of jewellery, and amounting altogether to little more than '7,000/. The Committee, after receiving these co►nmunications from their solicitors, we understand, again adjourned till Thursday next, and in the interim the solicitors have re ceived instructions to proceed in search of further wit nesses and facts, with which the Committee had been msde acquainted. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, SEPT. 20. IMPORTANT APPEAL.-REX. V. lIIROD AND RUMPHIT. The facts of the case were these :—The stream digni fied by the title of the River Mozel, is that filthy ditch which every traveller through Tottenham must have observed lazily creeping along by the side of the road. It is the common receptacle of most of the sewers in the neighbour hood ; and, in the month of July, the Local Board of Health recommended the Commissioners to increase the head of water, by erecting sluices in different parts of its course, which was accordingly done. Messrs. Herod and Rumphit, who occupy villas near what is called the Nursery Bridge, felt themselves injured in the enjoyment of their property by the course thus adopted—the kitchen of the one was flooded, and the drainage o. the other stopped, and some of his embankments broken down, and to remedy these evils they caused their servant to open the sluice below them and let off its waters. For this act a convicti.m bad been obtained by the Commissioners, and which was now appealed against. Messrs. CLARKSON and PHILLIPS contended that his clients had a right to act as they did, and that the movie.- ticm could not be upheld, as it specially excepted from its operation all persons acting in the ezereiseAf a supposed right. Messrs. AnoLrHus and PHILLIPS not being able to disprove the presumption of right, the Court quashed the conviction. Further proceedings, it was stated, would be taken to 37 the question in the King's Bench. THE MARKETS. SOUTHALL MARKET.—Sept. 19. This day's supply of Beasts, Calves, and Pigs, was moderately good ; of Sheep and Lambs rather great. The market was to. lerably well attended both by London and country buyers, but as the latter seemed to be more on pleasure than business, the trade, except with the primest small Beef, Mutton , and Pork, was very dull, at the following prices per stone oet311). to sink the °flats:— Beef '26.10d. to 4s.
