THE PRINCIPAL OFFICERS of his MAJESTY'S ORDNANCE do hereby give Notice, that they are ready to dispose of to such Persons as may be willing to Tender for the same a Quantity of BRASS and IRON ORDNANCE, and other Metals, in Store in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, consisting of Brass and Iron Ordnance, Old Iron Shot, and Shells, &c., the whole of which have been divided into Lots, and may be viewed upon application to the Ordnance Storekeeper at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, on any day previous to the day fixed for the delivery of the Tenders. A Catalogue of the several Lots may be obtained by persons willing to become pur chasers, on application at the Secretary's Office in Pall mall, where the Tenders for the whole, or any number of the said Lots, are to be delivered on or before Tuesday the 18th September next. By Order of the Board, R. BYIIAM, Secretary. Mr. DYER considered where a man's name appeared on a coach, he must always be taken to be a proprietor. Mr. Charlton, when he applied for his license at the Stamp-office, mentioned the fact of Mr. Nibb's name be ing on the coach, and inquired if it was necessary it should appear in the license, he not being a proprietor, or having any interest whatever in the coach ? He was an • swered by the clerk who gave the license, that the Act did not require it ; and though Byers might give him some trouble, yet he could not succeed in obtaining a conviction if he laid any information. Mr. DYER, however, considered that the fret of the name being on the door was a sufficient proof that the party was a proprietor, and he should therefore inflict a penalty of five pounds, with the hope the decision might be appealed against. A similar information against another coach was with drawn on payment of the costs. The remaining infor mations were for not having painted on the coach, in some conspicuous part, licensed to carry a certain number of pas sengers with, and two additional without, luggage. Oa the foot-board it was proved the words "licensed to carry seven outside passengers without luggage" only appeared. As two former convictions on a similar point had on appeal been confirmed, Mr. DYER said lie must convict in the present case, as it had been satisfactorily established • that the law required the number of passengers allowed to be carried with luggage, and the number without, should appear on the coach. The penalty affixed was fifty shillings. _ _ LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1832. (PRICE 7D.) (Ao. 12,181.) NEW WORK by the AUTHOR of " HAITI BABA." Just ready, in 3 vols. post Bvo.

RIGOR, sen., inquired if Mr. Brougham was favourable to an immediate abolition of negro slavery, upon which, Mr. BROUGHAM felt in common with the great body of abolishionists, that the sooner the measure of emancipation is accomplished the better ; that he always had a horror of slavery in every shape ; and more particularly to that immoral, impolitic, abominable and irreligious system at present practised in our colonies.—(lmmense cheering.) CHAIRMAN-Allow me now to propose " the health of Mr. Barham." Four times four, and immense applause. the way.--(Laughter.) The defendant was ordered to find bail. A man named Bean, porter to an auctioneer, was brought before the Loan MAYOR upon the singular charge of having smashed his goods and chattels because day were seized for rent. Mr. Edwards, the landlord, stated that the defendant was indebted to him 21. 1 ls. 9d. for rent, and showed no disposition whatever to pay it. Witness at last was obliged to send in keepers to prevent the defendant from " cutting" with the furniture, which was worth about a pound ; and when the keepers had been on the premises two days, the defendakt said he would •see the law --- before he would let his bits of sticks go, upon which he let fly the tongs at the plates and dishes, and slashed away at the ch lir and tables with the poker, until he much di minished the value of the only security, except the honour of the tenant, for the payment of the arrears. The police interfered just in time to save the heads of the land lord's party from the fate of the furniture. The defendant said, that the furniture was his own pro perty, and lie had a right to do what he liked with his own. He denied that the landlord had a right to Ouch the goods until a certain time had expired, and asserted, that it was with the view of keeping his property that he croaked a few of them.—(Laughter.) The Loan MAYOE—My good fellow, the law does not give you any power of the kind over goods seized ,by the Sheriff. TO PUBLIC SPEAKERS—MEMBERS OF THE BAR, &c.

ADVICE. —When Men of Education and professional skill use persevering endeavours to discover the most safe and certain method of treating a few prevailing diseases, the successful result of their expe rience is the best proof of superiority. Messrs. GOSS and Co., Surgeons, have been induced to make the cure of the following the object of their par ticular study, viz., a certain disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of intoxication, and its concomitants, Stric tures and Gleets, which, by an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured ; as also debility, whether arising from Bacchanalian indulgences, long residence in warm climates, or a secret solitary vice, too often unhappily pur sued by the youth of both sexes, in the one causing steri lity or barrenness, and in the other a numerous train of nervous diseases, which, if not timely remedied, termi nates in impotence and consumption. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, or arising from any other course, by which the powers of the constittttjon become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons of Liiindon, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. Messrs. Goss and Co., exclusively professing the cure of these particular complaints, in order that they may not be, by a mist tken few, marked with the obloquy so justly attached to the ignorant empiric, think it but justice to themselves to state, that they have been properly educated and initiated into every branch of the profession (certifi cates of which, from different HOSPITALS, and testi monials from the most eminent Professors, they have to convince any inquirer) that the success resulting from their endeavours first induced them to quit the practice of the general practitioner; and they presume that their preten sions constitute a fair ground for the unprecedented confi dence with which they have, by the Public, been so libe rally honoured. Th e result of a long and extensive practice has enabled them, by a superior method, to remove Venereal Corn. plaints however inveterate or complicated, without sub jecting the Patient to the least restraint in diet or exer cise ; and in recent cases, where an early application is Made on discovery of the infection, they frequently perform a. cure in th e s h ort space of a few clays. The unprece ',lented success of their mode of treatment, which has never een known to fail in one single instance in a practice of twentyot years, d ur i ng which period many thousand persons ri f o bus m both sexes o have b een cured, even after severe an d in od s had b een pursued by other practitioners without effect, induces them to thus publicly offer their advice. To be consulted daily, by Patients of either Sex, with secrecy, delicacy, and attention. —Letters from the country, containi ng the particulars of the case, enclosing a remit tance, duly attend e d to, and Advice and Medicine for- Warded to any part of the world.

DOVER, SEPT. 7.—A SEA FIGHT.—A most extraordinary sensation was created here this morn ing at about seven o'clock, when nearly the whole of Dover was either upon the piers, the heights, or Marine Parade, in consequence of the following circumstance :—A Mr. CualrEss and his lady had been living here, at the City of London Hotel, these six weeks. Within these two days a Mons. SOI E, a French gentleman, with a wooden leg, tall and good-looking, arrived at the same hotel ; this morn ing, at five, the lady of Mr. Cumess left his bed cau tiously, and started off with M. SOLE, for Calais, in a fine four-oared galley. Soon after, Mr. CUILTESS discovered his loss, and pursued the parties in a thirty five feet six_ oared galley ; the men were to be paid 8/. for their trouble. About three or four tidies from shore the rival boats came together after a smart chase, the husband lying in the bottom of his galley during the chase ; when along side his runaway-wife's boat, he jumped up. This so frightened the lady that she fell back as if shot ; she fainted of course, and went into the usual most appalling fits. A dreadful sea fight then ensued ; oars, boat-hooks, &c. were used with the greatest effect on both sides. The crew of M. SOLE'S boat at last gave in, in consequence of the ter ro r th ey were i n from their hav i ng h a d a h o l e stove through her bottom by the terrific agitation of M. SOLE'S wooden leg. In fact, the sailors were in the most dread ful fright of being foundered during the whole of the fight, from the action of the wooden leg as aforesaid. It was really a strange sight to see the two boats come into har bour, Mrs. CURTESS weeping salt and bitter tears, with her hair, like .Nroaa's, hanging in negligent festoons over her face and back, and the husband looking alternately savage at his wife, and fiercely at the proprietor of the wooden leg. Alons. SOLE, it is said, gained great honour and his w ooden leg during the celebrated three days in Paris. James Postlethwaite, late in business as a linen-draper at Newington Causeway, was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf of Messrs. Allan and Smith, wholesale linen-drapers, of Friday-street, Cheapside, and by Mr. Bentley in person. The insolvent had formerly compounded with his credi tors at Horsham, where, up to 1829, be had carried on business, and paid, on 2,000/. or 3,000/. worth of debts, 10s. in the pound, to the greater portion of them, and to such as would not consent to the composition, he paid 20s. in the pound, in instalments. In 1830, he recommenced business at Newington Causeway, and contracted a deb t with Messrs. Allan and Smith, to the amount of 3301. for goo Is. At this time, it further appeared, that there was a warrant of attorney against him for 3501., in the hands of a Miss Greenfield, of Tivo Mile Ash, near Horsham, whom he represented as a relative and a creditor, of which circumstance Messrs. Allan and Smith were ignorant when they f.irnished him the goods. In March, 1832, when he was indebted to them nearly 4001., one of his bills was returned dishonoured, and another in the April following; but they continued to have some transactions with him notwithstanding, on his representations that his business was going on so well that, with a little indulgence, he would be in a situation to meet his obligations to them. Ultimately an execution was put in on his premises, under the warrant of attorney, by which all his property w as swept away, and they lost ell hopes of recovering their debt, " considering themselves," in the words of Mr. Allan, " in the hands of a rogue." The COURT adjourned the case, for the production of the insolvent's lawyer, the insolvent's ledger, and of Miss Greenfield, with the warrant of attorney. ALLEGED MURDER OF A FATHER BY HIS SON. Yesterday, a young man, named Robert Richards, about 21, was brought to Hatton Garden Police-office, from Rosomond Street station-house. The prisoner and his father occupied an apartment at the house of a Mr. Tanner, shoemaker, of No. S, Portpool-lane, Gray's Inn lane, and were in the habit of being on the most com fortable terms with each other until Sunday morning last. The prisoner had been out of work, it appears, for some time past, and was supported by the deceased. On Sa turday morning last, the prisoner and the deceased left home together, when the former took the key of the room door along with him, and did not return home at the usual hour of his father's going to bed. The deceased inquired everywhere after him, but could not find him, until at length he met him in the street, rather the worse for liquor; they proceeded home together, and prisoner hav ing procured a light, they entered the apartment, whe❑ high words commenced between them, and the inmates of the house were disturbed. The deceased was beard to exclaim—" I will not suffer you to remain out till these late hours" (the time being half-past one in the morning), the moment after the words were repeated a blow was struck, and struggling was heard in the room. The landlord and a lodger, named Parsons, forced open the door, when they discovered the deceased and his son on the floor struggling desperately, the latter being under neath. The deceased was in a dreadful passion, with a cut over his eye. They were extricated from each other, and placed upon their legs, on which the deceased aimed a blow at the prisoner, and seizing him by the neckerchief, he threw him down a second time. An alarm was made, and several policemen entered the house, when they found the prisoner's father lying upon the floor, apparently dead. Medical gentlemen were instantly called in, when, on ex amination, life was found perfectly extinct. The police felt it their duty to take the prisoner into custody and lodge him at the station-house. Mr. Basaine, the Inspector of G. division, stated that information of the circumstance had been forwarded to Mr. Stirling, the Coroner, for the appointment of the Inquest ; and the prisoner was detained until the result of the inquiry be made known. REFORM JUBILEE! (Abridged from the Kendal Chronicle.) Thursday last was the day appointed for the celebration of the passing of the Reform Bill in Kendal ; and we may say without fear of contradiction that the town displayed a demonstration of feeling worthy of the inhabitants and unparalleled in the annals of its history. The day was exceedingly fine, and the morning was ushered in by merry pells from the Church bells, which were occasionally continued during the day, and several beautiful banners were suspended from the windows of the club-houses of the different trades. The day was to be celebrated by a grand procession of the trades and gen tlemen of the town ; and accordingly about 1 o'clock, the time appointed, the different bodies met in Stricklandgate. To give a faint idea of the splendour of the scene is ab solutely impossible; upwards of sixty flags and emblems of various colours fluttered in the breeze between Strickland gate and Kirkland, while the whole length of the way was completely crowded with a dense mass of hum , n beings. We should think there were more than 8,000 people present. After the procession had reached Spittal They halted about half an hour, until the horsemen went t) Shaw End, the seat of Arthur Shepherd, Esq., where James Brougham, Esq., the independent candidate for the representation of Kendal, and John Barham, Esq. the in dependent candidate for the representation of the county, were sojourning. The two candidates, accompanied by C. Barham, Esq. M.P., Arthur Shepherd, Esq. and the party of gentlemen on horseback, then left Shaw End, and met the procession at Spittal, where they were greeted with the most enthusiastic cheering. The whole party re turned to Kendal in the same manner, and on the candi dates arriving in the front of the King's Arms Inn, they addressed the assembled concourse at considerable length. Mr. 13itouciram observed that a large majority of the electors had done him the distinguished honour of select ing him for their first representative, he had now, there fore, clim e to Kendal to participate in their festivities; and with the intention of paying his respects to all the electors. After the candidates had concluded speaking, they re tired to the Inn, to dinner ; and the people in front almost immediately separated. THE DINNER. About 5 o'clock, nearly seventy gentlemen sat down to dinner at the King's Arms Inn, JACOB WAKEFIELD, E,q. in the Chair, supported on his right hand by James Brougham, Esq. M.P. and on his left by John Barham, Esq. M.P. After dinner the following toasts were given from the Chair:— " Lord Brougham"—Drahk with 9 times 9, and im mense applause. Mr. BROUGHAM returned thanks for his brother : and p elt proud to see that he still retained their good opinion. A report has gone abroad prejudicial to him, which I am anxious to contradict. It has been said that because he, when a Member of opposition in the House of Commons, gave notice of a plan of Reform immediately previous to the breaking up of the Wellington Administration—willch plan was m uc h more mo d era t e t h an t h e measure which has just been carried—he (Lord Brougham) was only a luke-warin reformer. I think you will agree with me, that a Member in opposition has but lisle chance of carry ing as efficient a measure as a Member in power—this was the situation in which he was placed : but when he be came Chancellor, he aimed at that which be could not ac complish as a M em b er o f t h e oppos i t i on ; an d I sta t e it fearlessly, that there is not a keener reformer in the Cabi net, nor one who was more anxious for the safety of the Reform Bill, than the Lord Chancellor.—( Applause.) The VICE-CHAIRMAN—In proposing the health of Mr. Brougham it may not be amiss to mention that but for his exertions and the exertions of his friends, the town of Kendal would not have had a representative given to it at all.—(Applause.) Drank with four times four, and great cheering. Mr. BROUGIIANI—As to my being the cause of se curing to the town of Kendal a representative, I claim no merit for it—it was only what its opulence and manu factures deserved ; indeed, as a proof, I may state that it was at °He time a matter of consideration whether two Members should not be given to Kendal ; but the idea was abandoned for this reason, that many other towns of equal magnitude, though not so wealthy, might make a claim for a similar number.—(Applause.) It will be a high honour to me to be chosen r e p resentat i ve f or a place, which I have been associated with for the last 15 years ; and I can only say in return that I shall endeavour to make myself worthy your choice.—(Applause.) It remains with the people, now that they have got the machinery, to work it in the way best calculated to promote the public good. The Reform Bill gives the power of choosing pro per persons to represent the various interests of the coun- MANSION-HOUSE. EXTRAORDINARY HEROISAL—Mr. Leverage, a gen tleman who has been for several years in the army, begged to introduce publicly to the LORD MAYOR'S no tice, John Pobjoy, a young seaman, whom he described a s one of the greatest heroes that ever appeared in this or any other country. He regretted that the extraordinary services rendered by this young man, although acknow ledged by some of the first authorities, were wholly unre warded by the Government, but he trusted that the Bri tish public would supply the deficiency. Mr. T. S. Duncombe, the Member for Hertford, bad brought the case before Parliament on the last day of the Session.— Mr. Leverage then described the service which Pobjoy bad rendered, and the utmost universal admission that the exertions of that person were unparalleled. Pobjoy had been a transport from this country, but had acted at Van Diemen's Land in such a manner as to become trust. worthy. In August, 1829, the gaol of Hobart Town being filled with convicts, it was thought proper to send over to Macquarrie Harbour a number of those who had been found guilty of the worst offences, and the Hon. Mr. Carew was appointed to the command of the vessel, which was called the Cyprus, and which Pobjoy was employed to navigate. Near Hobart Town the vessel lost her anchors, in hard weather—a loss which would have been irreparable had not Pobjoy volunteered to dive for the anchors. The Commander, however, would not permit the experiment to be made, as Pobjoy was known to be an excellent swimmer, without taking off the iron, which was upon one of his legs, and adding it to the iron which was upon the other, to prevent him more effectually from swimming to shore, a distance of more than a mile. Equipped in this style, which would have decided the fate of an ordinary man, Pobjoy dived for the anchors, and after 13 attempts, in 36 feet deep water, succeeded, by bringing them up, in saving the Government an expense of 1,300/. Soon after this oc currence, Mr. Carew went from the ship on a fishing party, and on his return received notice that the ship was in the hands of the convicts, by being put in irons himself. The result was, that Mr. Carew, his family, and the crew were abandoned on a desolate island. Pob joy, whom the mutineers were most anxious to keep amongst themselves, contrived to hide himself under the clothes of Mrs. Carew and another lady, and thus became one of the wretched party on the rock, where they were all left, with scarcely any provisions. By Polijoy's exertions in fishing, however, life was kept in every one of them. At last he constructed a machine, and, accompanied by a man named Morgan, he put off to sea in quest of assistance. After having experienced the most severe hardships, he succeed in reaching an island, at which the aid lie sought was willingly rendered, and the lives of forty-five persons, who, but for him, would have perished, were saved. Mr. Le verage detailed various acts of heroism performed by Pobjoy during the stay on the island or rock, acts in which not one person could be prevailed upon to second him, except Morgan. Under those circumstances, and aware that a long delay must take place before Lord Go derich could receive such intelligence as was required at the Colonial Office, the poor sailor found it necessary to appeal to the Chief Magistrate. The Loan MAYOR said that no person could hear of the extraordinary feats of Pobjoy without being surprised, and struck with the greatest admiration at his heroism. His Lordship added, that he was convinced his Majesty's Go vernment would, as soon as the necessary forms were com plied with, amply reward the conduct of the man. Mr. Leverage said, that in the interim the poor fellow who had saved so many lives might starve. He had not now the value of a mesh and, in fact, nobody could con template the whole of the circumstances without being struck with the manifest and cruel injustice of the delay and indifference which had been exhibited towards so brave an individual. The LORD MAYOR said, that, in such a case, a repre sentation might with effect be made to his Majesty, who had always shown the strongest inclination to reward merit, particularly that which distinguished so great a friend of humanity. The sailor, who is almost crippled with the hardships he underwent i❑ saving the lives of his fellow-creatures, then lett the Justice-room, gratefully returning thanks to the Lord Mayor. ATTACK OF CHOLERA.—•The Loan MAYOR was in formed that a female pauper, named Ellen Grayley, who had been frequently brought up on charges of disorder, drunkenness, &c., and was well known as a most ungo vernable spirit, was carried off that morning by a violent attack of cholera. The unfortunate woman had been a participator in some extraordinary scenes. Some years ago she fell in love with the grave-digger of Bishopsgate, and soon had to swear a child to hint. Yesterday, as one of the parish officers was going to the workhouse, he met the grave-digger with a spade, and was addressed by him :—" I say, Master Booker, you know my Nell Gray ley, she what swore the child to me. Blow'd if I a'nt a going for to make her last bed for her. They tells me she died of the maubus, but if you believe me, she died of her last shilling's worth of gin--a great deal a better thing." Upon further inquiry, it was ascertained that on Saturday last Nell Grayley was at the Nlansion- !tense, where she received a shilling, with which she went direct to a gin shop, and after having about a quarter of an hour's soli• tary enjoyment, she departed drunk. She was soon found in all the misery of spasmodic cholera, and which finished her before she became sober. It is believed that the poor wretch was in the very arms of the disease when she ap plied at the Mansion-house, and that in her terror she drank off an immoderate quantity of that which she had long considered a specific against disorders of all kinds. Patricia Sweeney, an Iri•lt tailor, was charged by his wife with having beaten her in a desperate manner. The defendant, it appeared, in his anxiety to remove from his calling the charge of disproportion in the rank of men, quarrelled with everybody the moment be took a ninth part of the quantity of gin which an ordinary man would take. His wife, of course, came in for a share of his valour, and on the present occasion she presented two black eyes and a swollen face, the work of his hands. She vowed that if some terrible vengeance were not held over him, murder must be the consequence. Mr. Smith, the wharfinger and Common Councilman, said, that the tailor resided in his ward, and so desperate a man, when tipsy, never was beheld. Although the de fendant was a very small man, and " somewhat descended in the vale of years," be was able, with the assistance of a cup or two, to resist the attacks of a multitude. He (Mr. Smith) saw him without coat, waistcoat, or shirt, fighting with several persons ; upon whom, although they beat the skin off his neck and shoulders with sticks, he re taliated in such a manner with his fists, as to cause the utmost astonishment. If compulsory measures were not adopted, the Ward would not be safe from the attacks of this " magnanimous" tailor. The defendant said, it was true his wife was a good one, and t h at h e forme d a j ust est i mate o f h e r good quali ties; but it was likewise true that liquor had the effect of turning i n hi s i mag i nat i on a ll t h ose goo d qu alities into bad ones. One drop above the quartern did the trick, and he was determined iu future never to exceed that measure, except when some of his brothers of the thimble should come over, and that wouldn't happen more than once a year ; and at that time his wife might easily keep out o The defendant said, that at that rate the law wee a very bad one. Besides the severity thus exercised, be complained of the demand now made for the expense of putting him to all this annoyance. The distress would cost 84. already, and one day more would swallow the value of his few poor sticks, so that the broker must come in for what he might call his house and borne. The landlord spoke of a great variety of disappoint. ments which he had endured with the patience of Job, and was still disposed to act with indulgence, if security were given for the payment of the broker's fees. The LORD MAYOR regretted that be should be obliged to commit the defendant until a settlement of the tees should take place. It was much to be lamented that tilt last Act of Parliament upon the subject had regulated the broker's fees so as to add greatly to the distress of an un fortunate defendant. MAR YLEB ONNE. MANAGER STRUT IN TROUBLE.-Mr. Grim-nen. the ex-proprietor and manager of the Royal Sussex The atre, in Bell-street, Portman-market, was charged with deserting his wife. Some years Ago Mr. Grimmen was only a poor sti utting player, but by " doing the agreeable" to his present wife, who is nearly double his age. he got possession of her band and a small dowry, by the assistance of which he aimed at higher distinction in the histrionic art. The Royal Sussex was to be let. Mr. G. became the proprietor, but met with misfortunes, and he was soon treated to an apartment in Whitecross-street. During his confinement, Mrs. Grimmen sold all her trinkets, and even her bed, to support him. Ten days ago he came out, thoroughly white-washed, but instead of returning to his own home, he hied to another lady, and his poor wife sought refuge in the workhouse. 11r. Grimmen admitted that he had been unfortunate, ungrateful, and faithless, but he promised to pay the parish expenses, and to contribute to his wife's support. Having, however, nothing at present to substantiate these promises, he was locked up. MARLB 01?0 U OH- STREET. A fashionably attired young man, the junior partner in a firm in the City, carrying on an extensive business in the French lace trade, &c. was finally examined on sus picion of stealing 180 yards of French satin, the pro perty of Mr. Fuilot, of Conduit -street, Regent-street. The particulars of the case have already appeared, and are briefly as follow : The property in question was handed over to a Mr. Morgan by the prisoner, to dispose of ; and, in consequence of the silk being cut into various lengths, suspicion was excited that the prisoner (who had formerly lived in the service of Mr. Foilet) had purloined the property from that gentleman's stock. He was, consequently, taken into custody, and several examinations took place at this office. The prisoner, in his defence, said, that in the way of business, he was in the habit of purchasing what is techni cally termed, " trade jobs," and that the satins produced had been bought by him from a Frenchman. Mr. DYER, the Magistrate, observed, that there was a want of evidence to authorise the prisoner's committal. but it was one in which he should rsquire bail for the accused to answer any charge which might be brought against him at the Sessions. The prisoner's solicitor begged that his client might stand remanded until S iturday ; for, as the sessions were sitting, the parties might, if they thought proper, go at once and prefer an indictment. This was acceded to, and the prisoner was again placed at the bar, when he pro duced evidence to shop" that it was possible to purchase similar pieces of silk as those Mr. Foilet suspected to have been stolen from him, at other warehouses. Mr. DYER, after a few observations, discharged the pri soner, much to the satisfaction of a number of his friends. The case excited great interest in the trade. Two tradesmen, residing in Oxford -street, named Bird and Gilbert, the former a boot and shoe-maker, and the latter a jeweller, applied to Mr. DYER, jun. for advice under the following extraordinary circumstances : It appeared from the statement of Mr. Gilbert, that on Thursday evening, about seven o'clock, a female, having the appearance of a lady from her manner and conver sation, entered the shop of Mr. Bird, and made a trifling purchase, which being concluded, she left the shop. I❑ a few minutes after the female's departure, a policeman of the F. division entered the shop, and asked Mrs. Bird what had become of the woman who had a short time previously en tered, adding, that he insisted upon knowing where she was, as he knew her to he a common utterer of base coin, and that he had wa'ched her proceedings from Finsbury. Mrs. Bird assured the policeman the individual had left her shop, and the money she had taken from her was cer tainly not counterfeit. The policeman, however, insisted that the woman was in the house, and commenced a mi nute search throughout the premises, visiting even the bed• rooms of Mr. and Mrs. Bird and the servants. Mr. Bird being from home, his wife was exceedingly alarmed, more especially as the policeman, notwithstanding the strict search he had made placed himself at the shop-door, and declared he would not allow any person to pass either wad• until he had the female in custody. A mob, consisting of a vast number of persons, soon collected ; and Mr. Gil bert, who resides next door, was under the necessity n . sending one of his servants to close the shop of Mrs. Bird, and apply to the station-house for the interference of the police. One of the sergeants attended, who prevailed upon the policeman to leave the premises. The parties had since stated the case to the Superintendent of the F. division, but, in consequence of not meeting with the sa• tisfaction demanded, they were induced to make applica tion at this office for advice bow to act. Mr. DYER, jun. observed, that the affair appeared, from the statement, to be of a most extraordinary nature, and desired the parties to proceed before the Commi,sion era with his (Mr. Dyer's) compliments, and state that it was his wish they should investigate the circumstance. The parties then bowed and withdrew. A very decent-looking female, who gave her name Fanny Tidrnarsh, was committed for trial, for obtaining bread, flour, and biscuits, from Mr. Duncan, baker, in Jermyn-street, under false pretences. The prisoner was aware that a Mrs. Reed dealt with Mr. Duncan, and by pretending to be the servant of that lady, obtained at many different times quartern and half•quartern loaves, flour, &c. until suspicion was excited, and she was found to be an impostor. When detected, she said distress bad dr iven her to the commission of the crime. Yesterday Mr. Henry Charlton, proprietor of an Ox ford coach, attended by his solicitor, appeared to s ix infor mations for various offences alleged to have been committed against the namerous Acts of Parliament relating to stage coaches, which informations were laid by Byers, the well known informer, and supported by Joseph Attwell, his approver. The first information was laid against Mr. James Nibbs, whose name, in conjunction with that of Mr. Charlton, appeared on a pair -horse coach, running to and from Oxford, for having carried one passenger more than the law permitted. Byers proved his case in the us url way, whichbllt w a sheld to be the objection, . . The next information was on a point of importance to coach proprietors generally. It was laid under a Clause in the sth George 111., charging Mr. Charlton with having incurred the penalty of 101., in not having the name ut Mr. Nibbs, which appeared with his own on the coach, put into the Stamp Office license.—Byers cont ,nded that the Act required the name and residence of every proprietor to appear in the license, and he inferred from the name of LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Anne Wilkins was, f,,r the fourth tiine, brought before the sitting magistrates, Messrs, WALKER a•id HARDWICK, and the Rev. Mr. MATHIAS. A letter, of which the following is a copy, was received I,y the magistrates, by that morning's post, in reference to her case : "Denny Abbey, near Cambridge, Sept. 8, 1832. " Gentlemen,—Seeing this morning, in the Ca;nbridge Independent Press, the Case of Anne Wilkins, I hee to say that what she has stated is quite incorrect. Her father never resided at Denny Abbey, nor is he in the slightest degree connected with any farmer who cvi r did. Nor do think he ever was a fanner. Her step lather has been receiving relief from the parish of Waterbeach, in which it is situate, for a number of years, beine, upwards of 70 years old, and incapable of work, and very poor. The girl must evidently have come by the money by some unfair means. She was working for me on the farm a year and a half ago, since which time I have never heard anything of her. She and her parents bear the worst characters we have in the parish. The letter, which was directed to Anderson, was brought here on Tuesday morning, and returned to the Cambridge post unopened. " I remain,. e entlemen, " Your's respectfully, EDWARD TURNER." " To the Magistrates at Lambeth-street Police-office," After reading the shove in her presence, Mr. «'ALTE R asked the prisoner if she still persisted in her statement ? The prisoner replied in the affirmative, and denied that her step father or family had ever received parochial relief, as they were always independent of it. On being further questioned, the prisoner's statement of the money (Meted much from that which she had before given. Mr. WALKER asked if she had ever been known by the name of " Cambridge Nance ?" and she replied in the ne gative._ _ . - Shelswell, one of the officers (to the prisoner. )—Do you know a female who goes by the name of " Dandy Bet ?" Prisoner—No, I do not. Shelawell—Nor " Cat's-meat Jack," at Billingsgate ? Prisoner—No ; I know no such persons. Shelswell—Don't you know the Black Horse public house on Tower-hill. Prisoner—No. Shelswell—Cin't you tell the magistrate the naitle of the soldier who was there last with you, and who purchased the cap you now wear, and how long you lived in Albion - street ? Prisoner—l know nothing about what you are speaking. Shelswell should be able to prove that she must, on a future day. Christian, the officer who apprehended the prisoner, was informed by a gentleman who attended the examination on Saturday, that a gentleman had been robbed at Cam bridge, about the time the prisoner said she had left there, of 100/. in Bank notes. He, in consequence, made in quiries, and ascertained that the notes which be had found on the prisoner were given at the bank of Messrs. Barclay and Co., on the day before her apprehension, with five sovereigns, in change for a 201. note of the Chelmsford Bank, but he had not time to make further inquiries into the matter.—Remanded for a week. FURTHER RESPITE OF KENNEDY AND BROWN.—" Newgate, Sept. 10, 1832.—A fin ther re spite, during his MaaEsTv's pleasure, arrived this evening for WILLIAM KENNEDY and WILLIAM BROWN, who were respited until Wednesday next." THE LATE MURDER ON THE RIVER.—The melancholy death of Mr. WILKINSON is another illustration of thesomewhat hackneyed observation, that the most trivial circumstances often lead to very serious and fatal results. On the day of his death he called upon his friend, Mr. SMALES, who was just about to sit down to dinner, but not liking the dish prepared, which was minced veal, he proposed going out with Mr. WILKINSON to dinner. They went to a tavern, and dined together, after which hey adjourned to a skittle-ground, where they spent the afternoon, and drank rather freely. On leaving this place, the deceased gentleman, finding himself a little affected with the liquor he had drunk, propo•ed walking about, in order to recover himself before he returned home. On reaching the water side, towards which they had directed their course, they agreed to engage a bo it, and take a row to the river, believing that the coolness of the evening and the exercise together would operate as an excellent resto rative, and they were on the point of landing when the affray occurred, which ended in the death of Mr. WILKIN SON, and has now placed the lives of two other individuals in jeopardy. The fire-engine and ship-pump constructed by Mr. HEARLE, engineer and iron founder, of this town, which has been fixed for trial in twelve ships of the Royal Navy, and after a use of nearly duce years, without re quiring repair, has proved, from the official reports of the Commanding Officers, to have fill), answered all the purposes proposed by the invention. On Friday last Captain SYMONDS, Surveyor of the Navy, inspected the pump fitted in his Majesty's ship San Josef, in all its parts and operation., and from the hi g h opinion expressed by him of its merits, the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, with Admiral DUNDAS, Comptroller of the Navy, accompanied by Admiral* Sir CHARLES PAGET And Sir FREDERICK MAITLAND, went on board the Sun Josef to inspect the apparatus, immediately previous to their leaving in the Lightning steamer for Falmouth, where Captain Cu itxtr, as the first trial, directed the water to be supplied from the pipes amidships, through the ship's bottom, and connected with the pump in the well, when the water in a few seconds was thrown over the fore-top gallant.mast head with great force.

BRITISH INCOME AND TA X A TIO N. A question i s o f ten as k e d, w h at proport i on o f a man ' s in come is taken from him i n t a x es ? N ow , the total in come of the people of Britain m a y b e e s timated, on data which we hav e n o t roo m t o s p ec ify, at 250,000,000/. That of Ireland we may assum e at 50,000,0001., making in the whole for th e U n it e d Kingdom 300,000,000/. Of this sum more th a n o ne s ixth is drawn directly by Go vernment. But th it is not the whole. The local taxes amount to a very large sum. The poors' rates in England exceed 8,000,0001. Other local taxes and contributions probably amount to 10,000,0 00 / , more. Then, as we have already explained, the higher and richer classes are and tanks in exempted, in a great measure, from contributing their pro per share of the national taxation. When these different circumstances are taken into view, it will hardly be dis puted that one third of every man's income, is the middle and lower classes of society, is taken away by the tax-col lector.
