THE OLD COACH INN TAVERN AND FAMILY HOTEL, T HE GOLDEN -CROSS, CHARING CROSS, rebuilt on an enlarged and improved plan, c.mbining in the highest degree comfort and economy, with arrange ments adapt e d for the convenience and accommodation of Families and Gentlemen. The recent improvements in the Strand having led to the d emol i tion of the Old GOLDEN-CROSS, care has been taken to obtain a site for rebuilding this well-known Establishment in the immediate neighbourhood, upon a plan to include all the advantages which time and expe rience have developed. The very convenient situation of the GOLDEN CROSS is sufficiently known ; its proximity to the Houses of Par liament, to the Public Offices, and the Theatres, recom mend it especially to the notice of all who visit London, whether upon business, or for amusement ; whilst the ex tensive Coach Establishment of B. W. HORNE and Co., in connexion with the premises, will secure the most con venient and unlimited facilities for conveyance and corre spondence to all parts of England and the Continent. The new Proprietor, THOMAS EDWARDS (late of the Queen's Arms T avern, N ewgate-street), respect f u ll y solicits a trial of this Establishment. H e re f ers, w i t h feel ings of gratitude and satisfaction, to the kind and liberal dsupptaorkint of his friend s and the public, in his previous un ergs, and desiring t o deserve a continuance, he has made every Po ssible exertion to i nsure it, regardless of ex labou r or pense. He has removed a po rt i on of his OLD STOCK OF WINES from nexion and Newgate-st reet, and has, through his con influence in the \Vine Market, laid in such a Stock of Wines and Spirit s as may ch a ll enge co mpetition with any h ouse i n the m. In the domestic arrangements, every attention has been paid to cleanliness and comfort ; the premises have been thoroughly aired and dried; and the Proprietor flatters him self that the Sleeping rooms and Bed, of his Hotel cannot be surpassed, if equalled, by any similar establishment. 1...11°Yal Mail s an d Coaches to all parts of the United "'ngdorn and the Continent, start daily from this Tavern. N.E. A porter will be in attendance throughout the night, so that gentlemen may get access to their apart men any hour. T o THE ELECTORS FOR THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX. SGENTLEMEN, I NCE I last had the honour to address you I have received such cordial and extensive promises ° f support, t h at I should esteem it a dereliction of public dut y if I were longer to pause in announcing myself a CANDIDATE for the high distinction of representing you in the ensuing Parliament.

I will preserve a watchful regard ! U pon all branches of public expenditure, and will endea our to promote the just and equitable adjustment of those undintricate and con fli ct i ng interests which will shortly come Th U nder the consid erat i on of the Legislature. ough it will not be in my power to wait personally U pon each individual elector, yet I shall from this moment t ale every opportunity of presenting myself in public to Your notice, of courting every inquiry, and of offering every eXplanation of my sentiments and my views. I hav e the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obliged and faithful Servant,' Oct. 18, 1832. HENLEY. e t) , LONDN, FR IDAY EVENING, OC O TOBER 19, 1832. It is intended, we understand, to make fur ther reductions in the salaries at the Customs, Excise, and other public departments, but the extent has not been agreed upon. It was pro- Posed at one time to reduce all the salaries one fifth ; but as this would have been severe on Person s of small salaries, it was not persisted It '• A Treasury minute on the subject is ex teeted to a pp ear s h ort l y .

It is rumo ure d i n t h e b est c i rc l es t h at i t i s no ' ° nger the intention of the CHANCELLOR of the EICHEQUER to make a Cabinet measure of the Proposed reduction of the taxes on knowledge. Considering the T HORP has manner in which Lord AL !his subject, w e Pledged hi mse lf to the country on should not a ll u d e to the rumour if it h a d not proceeded from a respectable source. 7 , 1 - ____________ nere Is every reason to believe that the Par liament will be dissolve s tated th at the d in D ecem b er , as i t i s by th e r egistrations will b e comp l ete end of November. Up to this time, how ever, no decision has, we understand, been come to on the subject. The accounts at the Treasury from different parts of the kingdom show an enor 14cios majority of liberal candidates for the next election. It is thought the Liberals in the nex Session will be as four to one. W e do not find that any rma communica tion h as yet been made to the Belgian Minister, 4. Van de WEYF:Ft, by Lord PALMERSTON, ?f the intention of the Cerenc e to adop It innediat e measures against onf Holland, n or has it . been determined whether the French army shall enter Belgium. We believe it was decided that the coercion should, in the first instance, be strictly maritime; but the new Ministry in France, finding, it necessary to cultivate popularity by an appa rent demonstration at least in favour of Belgium both by sea and land, has proposed to our Ca binet that the French army of the North should forthwith pass the frontiers, offering, however, every fair guarantee for its return to France as soon as the citadel of Antwerp shall have been placed in the hands of the Belgians. The French Ministry offer to move their army with or without the concurrence of Prussia, so that we agree to the movement. Should we con sent, they will gain popularity ; and in the event of our refusal, they will at least claim credit in the Chambers for having made the proposal. We understand that the late change of Minis try in France, so far from bei►ag likely to im pede the friendly commercial arrangements which were in progress, will rather promote them, and that the mission of Dr. BOWRING is expected to be very successful. The French Ministry, how ever, state that they cannot go so far as they wish to do in the way of reciprocity, owing to the re monstrances of the merchants and others inte rested in the brandy distilleries, who object to the removal of restrictions on British trade with France whilst our Government continue to levy so enormous a duty on French brandies. It is supposed, that were we to reduce this duty one third, we might obtain any concession from the French Government that we could reasonably require. The influence of the mercantile in terest in France must prevent a compliance with some of the propa-als of the British Government for the adoption of more liberal regulations in that country respecting trade with England, unless we can conciliate that interest by a reduc tion of the duty on French brandies. We refer to the Treasury memorandum in another column, as exhibiting a most satisfactory view of our improving financial prospects. We refer to extracts from the French Papers received this morning. It appears that M. GUIZOT is endeavouring to recommend himself to the public by a very judicious extension of the system of education, for the benefit of those who are not destined for the learned pro fessions. The news from Spain states that FERDINAND is much recovered; and that the QUEEN has been appointed Regent during his convalescence. She has acted wisely by publishing a decree of amnesty for all prisoners in Madrid, as well as other prisons of the kingdom. The new Ministry in Belgium is said to be appointed, and to consist of— Gen. Nypels, conjointly with Gen. Evain—War. Gen. Goblet Foreign Affairs Lebeau Justice. M. de Meulenaere Interior. M. Kauffman Finance. The following are extracts from German Papers : ZANTE, Syr'''. I.—A knowledge of the following facts will contribute to explain the present unparalleled con fusion in Greece. When Z 'venal in opposition to the present Government made himself master of the town of Patras, a man-of-war of each of the mediating Powers was sent to the port of Patras, to protect the subjects of foreign powers, and to contribute to reconcile the parties by persuasion, without employing force or taking part in their disputes. Such were the instructions given to the Captains, all conceived in the same terms. It happened, however, on two occasions, that the Russian ship, contrary to its instructions, and contrary to the arrangements with the captains of the two others, quitted the station in order to act against the rebels, as they are called, that is, against those who are opposed to Zavellas and the party of Capo d'lstrias ; or, in other words, against the provisional Government, to give chase to some boats in the gulph of Corinth, &e. Complaints of this conduct have not hindered a second Russian ship of war, which now lies off Patros, probably against the will of the Admiral, from entering into an open union with Zavellas. In consequence of this, the English and French captains have stopped all intercourse with the Russian men-of-war, and even required an explanation of the too near approach of the Russian boats. This little difference between the men-of-war of the three Powers in the Greek sea, is doubtless unconnected with the well-known speech of Lord Palmerston. But how seriously England thinks of being prepared in time against the Russian power in Greece appears, among other things, from the extraordinary works which are now being erected on the island of Vido, before Corfu. They are said to be without a parallel in the art of fortification, and may serve to prove how greatly those err who believe that England will ever give up the lonian Islands in favour of the Greek State, for the inhabitants can hardly be in the right when they affirm that, unless works are raised merely not to lose the right to the immense sums that have been granted for fortification. The accounts' from Greece are not agreeable. The brother of Grivas has, by a stratagem, made him self master of Missolonghi, and since then the unfortunate inhabitants have been flying, with all they could bring away, in little boats, to the lonian islands. De tachments of the horde of Grivas are plundering Acarna. nia. It is reported that Zavellas, united with Coloco troni, is gone against Napoli. Grivas himself is reported to have been taken prisoner by Nikitos near Tripolizza. The report that Colocotroni has been shot is not confirmed. Affairs do not, however, appear to be so bad in the Morea as reports say. There has been an abundant harvest, and considerable quantities of corn are now exported. All persons, Greeks and foreigners, agree in one point, namely, that the only and the safest means of giving tranquility to Greece is the speedy arrival of the Regency and the King. —Allgemeine Zeituny, Oct. 13. MUNICH, Oct. 9.—Their Majesties the King and Queen on their visiting the theatres on Sunday evening were welcomed by a crowded house with the most lively and long continued acclamations. The members of the Greek regency hold their meetings in the palace of Count Preysing. It is said to be hired for three months. The October Fete, a comic essay by Dr. W. Lindner, was confiscated on Monday by the police, and the confis cation confirmed by the Government. Dr. Lindner has altered the passages that were objected to, and has re ceived permission to print and publish his pamphlet.— Frankfort Papers, Oct. 13. The Cambrian, which arrived from the Mauritius yesterday, brought the address of the British merchants to the Governor, on the occasion of Mr. JEREMIE'S arrival ; but the news already received of that gentleman's de parture, and the tumultuous proceedings which led to it, have deprived this document of its chief interest. The objection urged against Mr. JERE MIE in the address is, that he has published his sentiments on the subject of Colonial Slavery, and- has thereby, as the address has it, " shown himself to be the organ, or, at least, the adjunct, of a party decidedly hostile to colonial interests, and who has so far prejudged and pre condemned the parties whose cause he has to try, that he will never be considered by them as an impartial Magistrate." All which means, that the people at Mauritius have no objection to Orders in Council, or laws for the amelioration of the condition of the slave population, pro vided they are:not enforced ; but directly a man is sent out who will enforce the laws, they a up in arms. The colonists may be assured, that their constant opposition to all the plans for the gradual improvement of the negro population, is not the way to convince the English people of the danger of immediate eman cipation. They naturally argue, that the ignorance of the negroes cannot be so great, nor the danger of a sudden change in their con dition so imminent, since the planters still op pose, as they constantly have done, all attempts at the gradual change which their best friends in England desire to see brought about. With respect to the question of indemnity raised in the address, we really cannot see how the claim of the planters would be the worse for their slaves having been rendered less savage. The close of the address contains one or two points too droll to be passed over without notice : " The colony, therefore, apprehend, and the under signed cannot but join in that apprehension, that the exer cise of the functions of his Majesty's Proeureur-General by Mr. Jeremie (the individual before alluded to) is totally incompatible with the peace, happiness, and prosperity of ALL classes of the inhabitants. " In conclusion, the undersigned appeal to your Excel lency on behalf of the whole community, and in the name “f that humanity which is so unjustly invoked against them, persuaded that in exercising for their benefit that discretionary power with which your Excellency is armed, you will at once satisfy the feelings of your own heart, re ceive the greatful thanks of a numerou., industrious, and enterprising people, and the approbation of his Majesty's Government, of the English nation, and of mankind at large." Of course the poor negroes are not included among " mankind at large," for as SAM ROGERS would say, they are not at large ; or among " all classes of the inhabitants," for who ever thinks of counting the live stock on a farm as part of the inhabitants of a parish ? Want of space yesterday prevented our insert ing the very important documents given in our front page. It is clear from them that his Ma jesty's Ministers, intend to proceed with Church Reform in right earnest. Had they intended to bring forward a make-believe Reform, some of the particulars upon which they now call for information would not have been needed. Had such a step been taken years back, so valuable a public property as the Irish tithes would not have been exposed to the danger it now is, nor would blood have been spilled in the endeavour to defeat it. Our pre sent Ministers are, we think, in time to prevent the Irish tragedy being represented in England ; and if their measure for the reform of the Church be but as full and efficient as that for the reform of the Representation, they need not fear any consequences that may follow from it. The only danger is in not going far enough. The opening or closing of the Scheldt has been a question agitated as one of importance for so long, that the grounds of its importance have almost been lost sight of by the English public. This forgetfulness makes the utter itn possibility which appears to exist of getting LEOPOLD and WILLIAM to compound the matter, seem rather strange. A few sentences will set the vitality of the question, so to speak, distinctly before our readers. The situation of Antwerp at the mouth of the Scheldt rendered it, when the Netherlands were in possession of Spain, one of the richest and most commercial cities in Europe. The canals penetrating into every part of the town, the beauty of its ancient buildings, still attest its former wealth and mag nificence. The citadel was built by the Duke of ALVA in 1568. The frequent revolts of the city afterwards did not perhaps render Spain very adverse to the provision introduced, at the in stance of Holland, into the treaty of Westphalia in 1648, to close the navigation of the Scheldt. This was accordingly done, and from that time the trade and importance of Antwerp declined, whilst that of Rotterdam and Amsterdam rose. Both parties imagine that the open ing of the Scheldt would restore Antwerp to its ancient superiority, and that Rot terdam and Amsterdam would be ruined. We cannot but think that Amsterdam and Rot terdam would be large trading towns in spite of the opening of the navigation of the Scheldt, although undoubtedly that measure would be of paramount advantage to Belgium ; indeed, with out it she will not have an open port, ex cept Ostend,—certainly not sufficient for . a kingd om o f t h e extent o f B e l g i um . It is unfortunate for Holland that she should be in jured by throwing open the navigation of the river ; but i t woul d b e monstrously unjust that Belgium should be denied access from the sea to a town or a river of which she commands the greater part of the course,and one bank of which she possesses from Antwerp to its junction with the ocean. Speakin g upon this subject the Ales sager des Charnbres says, 4 , France and Et)g latid have guaranteed the independence and sove reignty of Belgium, intending, no doubt, to put it in a condition of vitality. To close the Scheldt would be to close the stream of life to Belgium, and England and France will merely have erected a ruin, contrary not only to the most simple principles of policy, but to reason and common sense." LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 17.- The sales of Cotton to-day are 60 Pernams, from 91d. to 92-1 ; 60 Bahia', front 71d. to Sid.; 60 Surat', from Sid. to sfd. ; and about 2,000 in American descrip tions, from 6 i l-d. to 81d. Accounts from Leghorn state that the Ex- De) , of ALGIERS has determined to reside in the environs of Naples, and sent his agent BUSNACH to hire a villa. This arrangement, however, it is added, will not stop his schemes for regaining his former position in the regency of Algiers. Last night the James Watt steam-vessel, lying off Blackwall, sustained considerable damage by its timbers accidentally catching fire. We are happy to add that no personal injury was sustained. THE SATIRIST NE WSPAPER.—The trial of Messrs. CUNNINGHAM and SALMON, the printers of the Satirist, and nine other p ersons, who were charge d on two indictments with the concoction and publication of a lib e l upon Messrs. CHARLES BLucx, JOHN Dicas, sem, JOHN Thcas, jun., and WILLIAM UPTON, which was ap pointed to take place this morning at Hick's Hall, Cler kenwell Green, was removed by writ of certiorari to the Court of King's Bench, to the disappointment of a very crowded court. The court was occupied during the whole morning in trying prisoners pro secute d b y t h e Mi n t for . procuring, or having their possession, counterf e it coin, with the intent to circulate it, and the utterers of base money. None of the trials poNsessed the slightest feature of public interest. It is expected that the court will break up tomorrow. THE ANNUALS. A CKERMAN'S FORGET-ME-NOT. The illustrations to this eldest-born of the Annuals show great marks of skill and care, though there is a monotonous character about them—which, however, they share in common with the rest of their graceful fraternity—that bids defiance to minute or particular criticism. All we can say of them is, that they are excel lent sui generis. The literary department has much of the same uniform polish. Tales and Poems—Poems and Tales " dance the hays" in gay and glittering confusion, through some three hundred and upwards gilt-edged exqui sitely-printed pages. Among the best of the tales is one by Miss Mitford, entitled " Old Matthew the Matseller." The in- cident, as told by any other person, would be a mere nothing, but in Miss Mitford's hands it is worked up with infinite grace and skill, yet still preserves the utmo s t t ru th an d simpli- city. There is a little bit of description in it, of a cottage in a dingle, which possesses all the force of painting. Mr. Hood furnishes some lines in imitation of Swift's petition of " Betty the Cookmaid," which are but indifferent. Miss Landon's verses on Marius among the ruins of Carthage, are the best in the volume. Miss Howitt also contributes some agreeable stanzas. The Annual, on the whole, is of the average order of merit. LITERATURE. EXAMINATION OF THE EVIDENCE TAKEN BEFORE THE COMMITTEE OF SECRECY ON THE BANK OF, ENGLAND CHARTER. 13g ALEXANDER MUNDELL, ESQ., LONDON. We have at different times had occasion to bestow our humble approbation upon Mr. Mun dell's labours ; occasionally, however, taking the liberty of differing from him, where we felt he had suffered his judgment to be led away by a favourite theory, such as the great effect produced by the falling-off in the supply of the precious metals from South America since 1810. In the pamphlet before us, Mr. Mundell does not appear to have been so engrossed by one or two ideas as in that we last noticed, and therefore may be more generally relied upon. His main object is to expose different fallacies advanced by the advocates of the Bank of England in their evidence before the Secret Committee, and in our opinion he has done it very successfully. In his observations on the " freedom or restric- [on of banks of issue," for instance, he says, " This question (3866.) having been put to Mr. Tooke (who is well known by his thoughts on high and low prices, and his tracts on the currency, as well as his previous examinations before the Bullion and Agricultuaal Cotsi• mittees,) ' Is it your opinion that it would he advisable to establish other banks of issue in the metropolis, besides the Bank of England ?' he gave this answer : Ido not see any more reason for the establishment of two or more banks for the coining of paper for the metropolis, than I should for the establishment of two or more mints for the coining of the metals : I conceive that there is no possible advantage to set against the probable inconvenience. " The value of the answer may be estimated by an other question; namely, If all the payments made in the city of London were to be in gold coin, would one Mint be sufficient? and if all such payments were to be so made, would all the gold in the world be sufficient for them? " Mr. Tooke's answer takes a false position, and over looks the progress of things. Coin is a convenience ; bills of exchange are a convenience ; cash notes are a conve • nience, and have no more resemblance to coin than bills of exchange have to commodities. The one represents the exchangeable value of coin, the other represents the exchangeable value of commodities ; and if this exchange able value be truly represented, it is a matter of no im portance by whom bills of exchange are drawn, or by what number of bsnks cash notes are issued ; but it is of paramount importance that the convenience and benefit of banking should be allowed to extend themselves to the remotest corners of the kingdom, which they would do if the exclusive privilege of the Bank of England did not restrain them. " Mr. Tooke's answer also overlooks the nature of a hanker's note, which, as already said, is in the nature of a receipt for so much gold, to be always forthcoming upon the demand of the depositor : not that gold is always deposited with a banker ; but no banker will issue a note unless he receives value for it estimated in gold ; nor is gold expected to be required for it, nor will it be required for it, unless the exchangeable value of the notes of such banker shall become less than the exchangeable value of gold, which it is his business to avoid." In the conclusion at which Mr. Mundell arrives, that the Bank has abused its monopoly, we cordially concur, and trust that the time is arrived when its extent will be greatly reduced, if it be not entirely done away with. There are many practical men who appear to think that conveniences would attend its being the only bank of issue in London. We have already expressed our opinion that no inconvenience would attend the existence of more than one, any more than there does in the country (we are aware that the circumstances are not quite pa rallel), but provided that the limitation in the number of partners in other banks were entirely removed, and the banking trade otherwise placed upon the footing it is in Scotland, we should be content for the present to make, what we cannot help thinking, a sacrifice of principle. Indeed, were the first great step taken, the competition which would arise would probably effect most of the other changes absolutely necessary to the security of depositors. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

The only arrivals this morning are Jamaica and Lee ward Islands' mails, the former brought by his Majesty'► ship Hope, sailed on the 10th September, and the latter by the Calypso, sailed from St. Thomas's the 6th Sept. 'From the Jamaica Papers received at the North and South American Coffee-house.) His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to post pone the meeting of the Honourable House of Assembly to the 10th October next. It is generally reported that the House will meet on the 30th October. By the Ranger, from Carthagena, letters have been re ceived from Bogota, from which we learn that on the 14th August the good people of that city were under great anxiety about the affairs of the south, from which no poet hid arrived for a month. Letters from Citara had arrived at Carthagena ; to the 20th ult., announcing that the Valle of Cauca had de clared itself in favour of Ecuatter, as well as the province of Choro. Business is very dull at Carthagena, all was at a stand. DEPLORABLE CONDITION OF ST. DOMINGO. We were informed yesterday by a gentleman lately from St. Domingo, that that once beautiful colony is reduced to a state which beggars description, the people have no confidence in their rulers, and those in authority are sur• rounded in their hovels by armed men, on whom they can not rely. Commerce is at its lowest ebb ; as for money there is none. By the last a rrivals from St. Jago de Cuba, a letter was received by a gentleman in this city, dated Aug. 24 , , stating that the Restoration frigate of 50 guns bad sailed from the Havannah with arms and ammunition for Oma ; it also mentions that the Spanish squadron had orders to get ready with six months' provisions for a secret expedi tion, and it was believed that an attempt would be made on the coast of Colombia, as it was known at the Havan nah that Cartbagena and Santa Martha were but thinly garrisoned, and the fortifications in a wretched state. THE FUNDS. We are still without any fresh intelligence from Oporto or Lisbon, which cannot otherwise be accounted for than the state of the weather off that coast. In respect to the state of affairs with Holland, we must wait a few days before the decided measures will be enforced. The estafette from Paris is not of importance. Consols opened at the same price they left off at yester day, 831 sellers; at present they are 831 buyers. HALF-PAST ONE. In the absence of arrivals and official information, it may be as well to inform the public of the various reports afloat in the City and the Stock Exchange. First, that a courier had arrived from the Hague, despatched by Count Dornhoff, announcing his first interview with the King of Holland respecting the Belgian question. Report says it is of a favourable description.-- Secondly, That accounts are in town, from Opor to, of the Miguelite array havi ng b ro k en up before Oporto, and gone into winter quarters. Up to the present time we cannot trace the above to any au thentic source. It is possible that the packet has arrived from Oporto, and that some private express from Fal mouth has been received, as the Portuguese Scrip im proved about % per Cent. The Consel Market has also improved since the early part of the morning from 83i to 83j 84, at which price they are at present. We also bear, as a report, that one 'of Don Pedro's steamers, the Soho, was burnt last night off Blackwall. She is not insured.

Private accounts have been received from Madrid this morning, stating that a continued attack was made on Oporto on the 29th and 30th September and Ist October. The Miguelites were obliged to abandon their outposts, and have retreated five leagues from Oporto. The Miguelite squadron entered Vigo Bay on the 29th September. Sartorius arrived off Vigo on the 3d Octo. ber, and was blockading them at both mouths of the bay. There has been posted at the North and South Ame rican Coffee-house an Extraordinary Gazette of New Granada, dated Aug. 7, in which is given the landing of Santader, President of New Granada.

John Smith, Henry Brittain, George Williams, and John Stevenson were prosecuted by Mr. Powell, of the Mint, for passing two counterfeit crown pieces. It appeared that on the 15th of September the prison( re were all seen together on Finchley Common. Two went one way and two another. Smith and Brittain scent into a grocer's shop and bought some bacon, for which they gave a 56.-piece to the woman who served, and she gave them the change. Soon after her nephew came in, to whom she gave the crown piece, and it was the❑ found to be a bad one. The other two had gone to the Greyhound public-house, in Hendon, where they were joined by the others, and where they had a pot of beer, for which they also tendered a bad crown-piece, for which they received the change. Notice was given to the constable, who came and took them into cusmdy. On them he found good money to the exact amount of what had been given in change at the two places where they bad been. 4 Smith and Brittain pleaded guilty, Williams was found guilty, and Stevenson was discharged, with a caution from the Chairman. The other prisoners were sentenced to one year's imprisonment and hard labour. The Mint had eight other similar cases, which occupied the whole of the morning. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. George Chilson and George Chandler, two sweeps, one aged 20, and the other 19, were indicted for stealing a quantity of silver plate, consisting of spoons, &c. the pro perty of John Ersthope, , M.P. The prisoners were of the description of thieves gene , rally denominated sneaks, who lurk about the fronts of areas, particularly at the west end of the town, and take every opportunity of plundering the kitchens and pantries. On the present occasion the prisoners were detained by Mr. Downes, a jeweller, of Long Acre, into whose shop they went to dispose of the property very shortly after the robbery, and who sent for Fall, a Bow-street officer, into whose custody he delivered them on suspicion of having dishonestly possessed themselves of the plate. The prisoners were found Guilty, and sentenced to be transported for life. Mr. Serjeant Axentx and the Jury expressed their warm approbation of the conduct of Mr. Downes, in being the means of bringing two such offenders to justice. Archibald Warden, labourer, aged 24,, was capitally indicted for having, on the 12th of October, in the parish of St. Marylebone, committed an offence of a most abo minable and disgusting nature, to which it is impossible more particularly to allude. The case was proved by Samuel Rslph, policeman, 36, Divisio❑ S. After a most perspicuous summing up by Mr. Justice TINDAL, The Jury retired, and on their return found the prisoner G u ty—Death. Peter Charles Chalmers, a young man, aged 31, of most respectable appearance, who was convicted of forgery at the Sessions in May last, and whose case was afterwards referred to the 12 Judges, was brought up to-day, to re ceive the deci'ion to which the Judges had come. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said the indictment against the prisoner charged him with having on the 12th March, 1630, feloniously forged an acceptance to a certain bill of exchange therein set out, which offence was stated to be " against the peace of our Lord the King, his crown and dignity," On reference to the time when the offence was alleged to have been committed, it appeared to have been on a day during the reign of his late Majesty, and it was objected by the Counsel for the prisoner that no judgment could be entered up, because of the contradictory allegation; that " against the peace of our Lord the King" must be taken to mean the present King, whereas the offence was, ire fact, committed in the reign of the late King. The L earned Recorder, who tried the case, reserved the ob jection for the opinion of the Judges. In June, eleven of the Judges met to consider the objection, upon which oc casion two of them were of opinion that the word " against the peace of our Lord the King," must be fairly taken to mean against the peace of that King in whose ieign the offence was stated to have been committed. The other Judges were of opinion that if there were, in fact, a variance in the indictment, it was fully answered by the Act of the 7th of George IV., chap. 64, the 20th section of which provided, that for the better remedying the inconveniences arising from technical objections to indictments, no judgment should be stayed or reversed for want of the averment of any matter not necessary to he proved, or for the omission of the words " against the peace of our Lord the King." The nine Judges were of opinion, that if there were any contra diction in the indictment, the whole of the words " against the peace of our Lord the King" were surplusage and not necessary. Upon those grounds the whole eleven Judges were of opinion that the judgment should not be stayed or reversed, but that the conviction was good. NEW COURT. Rosanna Webb, a middle-aged woman, was indicted for stealing a silver watch from the person of a young man named Routledge. The prisoner, on being brenght t., the bar, exhibited the strongest symptoms of insanity, and stared with the utmost vacuity at the Court and Jur,. When the indict ment was read over by the clerk, the prisoner repeatedly culled out, " Yes, yes ; I had it this morning ;" and on turning round, and perceiving the chain of the turnkey's watch, exclaimed, " H, re it is, here it is." Mr. M'Murdo and Mr. Wontner were clearly of opi nion that the prisoner was insane, and the Jury concurring in that opinion, she was ordered to be detained during his Majesty's pleasure. George Guesden, a young urchin eleven years old, was indicted for stealing from a gentleman named Phil lips a silk pocket-handkerchief. The case was clearly proved against the prisoner. On the COMMON..SERJEANT inquiring if the prisoner was known, Mr. Wontner stated that be had been confined in the House of Correction for two months, and since bis re lease had kept company with nothing but thieves. The COMMON•SERJEANT directed Mr. Wontner to make the usual mark against the name of the prisoner, in order to his transportation. John Jacobs, a Jew clothesman, was indicted for steal ing, on the 19th of September, several articles of wearing apparel, the property of John Cox. Mr. Cox stated that having an old wardrobe to dispose of be directed his servant to procure a purchaser. The pri soner came on the day stated in the indictmeot, and after looking at the articles agreed to purchase them for 51. Pro secutor wanted 81., but ultimately agreed to take the lesser sum. The prisoner said he bad a 101. note and wanted change. Witness refused to take the note, and said he would have nothing but sovereigns, suspecting that a person of the pri soner's appearance could not have a good 101. note. The prisoner then gave witness five half-crowns as a deposit, saying be would go to the next public-house, get the note changed, and bring the difference immediately. Witness, suspecting the honesty of the prisoner, retired:into his dress.. ing- room ; immediately after whi c h h e h ear d a great bustle, and on looking out of the window, he discovered the pri soner running off with his clothes ; but being in deep negligee, he could not follow him. Witness afterwards went down to Cutler -street, accompanied by City Police 36, where he discovered the pri.oner with his clothes, in company with others, under a gateway. On the pri soner's second examination at Hatton-garden, a friend of the prisoner's put Si. into his hand. Witness mentioned this to ,Mr. Serjeaot Sellon, the sitting Magistrate, who directed him to keep it. Mr. Pommes appeared for the prisoner, and by his cross-examination of the prosecutor excited a good deal of laughter in the Court, but elicited nothing materially favourable to his client. The prisoner in his defence said, that he had bought the clothes in two lotedothe one that he had taken away not being worth more than 10s., and he had left with the prosecutor 12a. 6d. The prosecutor stated that be positively:refused to sell the property in lots, and that the value of the clothes taken away by the prisoner was 50s. and upwards. Seven or eight Jews of respectability gave the prisoner an excellent character. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The Comatow SER3KANT ordered the prosecutor to re turn the five pounds he received at Hatton Garden to the person from whom he had it; and the officer of the Sheriff of Middlesex claiming the 12e. 6d. given to Mr. Cox as a deposit by the prisoner, as the property of a convicted felon, the prosecutor was obliged to return that also. em murder l d e l dr extr e mea ofy Countylyefa Er years, G I as C ou K lff, e f — r o e r d °t the e i h l MAuarcE CONNELL ' of which he was convicted on Wed nesday, before Baron PENNEFATHER. lie acknowledged the justice of his sentence, but declared it was not a p e meditated act of his, but the effects of intoxication.
