" By the King, " Count FELIX DE MERODE." Anothes decree, of the same date, gives to Gen. Goblet the portfeuille of the Foreign Department ad interim. The two decrees on a partial change of our Ministry, were signed at 11 o'clock at night on the 17th. M. de Meidenaere will remain a few days at Brussels. Ile will not resume the Government of West Flanders till the beginning of next week. Mr. Fenessy, a British Cabinet messenger, arrived yes terday at Brussels, on his way from Vienna to London. He remained a long time with Sir R. Adair. General Nypels, with his aide-decamp, arrived yester day from the camp at Diest. The Emancipation, giving the letter of Colonel BOzen to General Chasse, infers that 'if the latter has not ex ecuted his threat of bombarding the town, though Colonel Buzen has continued his works, he must have received orders from the Hague, which is a proof that the King of Holland feels that he cannot contend against the will of Europe. The Courier Beige says—" At last the mask is thrown aside; the most pacific man in Belgium, General Goblet, is at the head of the Department of Foreign Affairs, and the man who had been made use of to deceive the Cham bers and the nation,—to snake promises which it was never intended to keep,—to make a show of firmness of pur pose which did not exist,—M de Meulenaere, is no longer Minister." SEPTEMBER 20.—The decree accepting Meulenaere's resignation way signed yesterday. `• We learn," says the Emancipation, " that several Members of the Cabinet have tendered their resignation to the King. His Majesty has not yet accepted them. It is probable that the Ministers, sensible of the inconve nience of an entire change in the Cabinet at the present mosnent, will determine on retaining their several offices." It seems certain that M. Raikem, the Minister of Justice, will remain in office only till the termination of the organization of the Court of Justice, which is nearly completed. Our outposts are instructed carefully to observe the movetnen's of the Dutch on the frontier. The accounts received yesterday say, that all was tranquil on the whole line. SErr. 21.—The Moniteur announces officially that General Merekx has been received by the King of Prussia, at Charlottenburg, as Envoy Extraordinary from the King of the Belgians, and delivered both his credentials and the King's letter announcing his marriage. It also announces in the same manner the reception of Viscount Vildin XIV., by the President of the Helvetic Confederation, on the 13th of September, at Lucerne. The Duke of Orleans is expected this afternoon at three o'clock. He will stop only four days. Sir Robert Adair yesterday morning received a courier from London, and immediately after opening the despatches went to Laecken. Proczyneki, a Pole, Lieutenant-Colonel on the staff of our army, left Brussds yesterday, to visit the whole frontier next to Holland. We learn that the troops investing Maestricht on the right bank of the Meuse, are to pass to the left bank. The Duchess of Angouleme passed through Utrecht on the 18th; on her way to Gerpany. The Moniteur of the 22d does not announce the resig nation of M. de Meulenaere.—Brussels Papers, Sep tember 22. DUTCH AND HAMBURG PAPERS. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 20.—The Queen has returned to day from the Loo. The Duchess of Augouleme arrived on the 18th, in the evening, at Nimeguen, and went soon afterwards to Üb bergen, where she will remain for the five days' quaran tine, before she passes the Prussian frontier, at the country seat of M. Van Poldersfeld, who offered it to her Royal Highness. Prince Frederick arrived here last night. It is said the Princess of Orange will come here in the be ginning of October. Boss LE Doc, Seer. 17.—We hear that the circum stance which called for particular measures of precaution has so far changed, that the troops assembled in the dis trict of Eindhoven are again separated, and for the most part return to their former positions. SEPT. 18.—The battery of 12.poundera and the pon toons have lately passed through this town, returning to their former stations. The head-quarters of the 2d, 3d, and reserve divisions are for the present at Eindhoven, Oirschot, and Helmore. It seems, however, that the marching battalions of the fortresses retain their organiza tion, and the batteries intended for them are getting ready. NIIDDLEBURG, SEPT. 17.--The troops of the 4th and sth district of Zealand (Dutch Flanders), and the garri sons of Flushing and Both, lately received the bronze crosses, on which occasion the Minister of War issued an order of the day, in which mention is made, in very flat tering terms, of the important sera ices rendered by the troops and part of the population in preserving a territory which was one of the finest fruits of the 80 years' struggle of our ancestors. BOIS LE Duc, SEPT. 20.—A report of orders having been given to our troops to advance is contradicted, though it is still thought probable that a hostile movement on the part of the Belgian forces gives occasion to the measures of precaution on our side. The real cause of these measures has not appeared. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 19.—Within these few days the Cabinet Council has met several times. Yesterday great activity was observed in the Foreign Department. At noon an officer of that department was sent with de spatches to London. It is said these despatches relate to proposals, which, if they met with the ap probation of our Government, were to be laid before the Conference on the part of England.

HANovaR, SEPT. 13.—The First Chamber has given a new proof that it places the interests of the country above those of a class by deciding in the third debate, on section 2, chapter 3, of the constitution, to abolish, with out indemnity, the exemption from the burden of main taining the cavalry, and declaring this charge to be a bur den on the country in general. The Second Chamber has came to the same decision. STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 11.—The King arrived at Got tenburg on the 3J. Most of the houses were illuminated. On the 4th the magistrates and citizens gave a grand ball. The address (already published)seems not to have been pre sented.

The disgraceful conduct of the Alderman, whom we mentioned in our last, as having threatened, " as lie hoped to he saved, never to enter the shop of any man who voted for Mr. Macaulay," is not denied; but a paltry attempt at palliation is made, by saying that the charge is exaggerated. The charge is not exaggerated ; the unworthy Alderman used all the words we have as cribed to him, and more to the same purport. W.. are glad td find that his friends have the grace to be ,ashamed of his conduct. But he is by no tneans singular in this species of intimidation. Mr. Osborn, wine -merchant, an intimate friend of Mr. Sadler, and one of the most active members of his committee, is now endeavouring to import Newark morality and New- ark notions of liberty of conscience into Leeds, and has in three several instances which have come to our know ledge, conveyed intelligible intimations of the withdraw ment of custom if the electors applied to will not give up their consciences to his guidance, and vote according to his dictation. His words to a butcher, after asking him for a vote for Mr. Sadler, were " Well, I do not in tend any tradesman, that will not vote for Mr. Sadler, to have a penny of my money."—Leeds Mercury. There is no foundation whatever for the report that Mr. Trevor is coming forward as a candidate for the southern division of this county, in opposition to Lord Althorp. Mr. Trevor is, it is well known, a candidate for Durham ; and there are very cogent reasons for implicitly believing that the " Conservative" portion of our neighbours will liruit their exertions to the task of securing the return of Mr. Cartwright.—Northampton Mercury. Messrs. Whitbread and Crawley are canvassing Bedford. NU3IBER OF VOTERS IN' " the List of the Freemen," compiled by Robert Davies, E.ci , the Town Clerk, we find the number to be 2,246 ; and the lists pub lish,d by the overseers contain 752 names; total, 2,995. 11Ia►.y returned as 101. householders, however, also appear in the freemen's list ; but as probably there are orris. sions in both, the number of voters may be taken in round numbers at 3,000. In 1830 the number of freemen who polled was 2,725.—1 bid. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. This theatre opened with a good house on Saturday night. Cherry's comedy of The Soldier's Daughter was selected as the opening piece, doubtless because the Widow Cheerly was considered an appropriate medium for the re-introduction of the young widow of an officer (Mrs. NESBITT), or as the bills are pleased to style her, " the late Miss MORDAUNT," previously known to these boards,—to which, by the bye, the same part served ori ginally to introduce her. Her assumption of the gay and engaging widow was vivacious and agreeable, and may, we think, be often repeated during the season with advantage to the theatre. A pretty and lady-like person, with en gaging manners, and splendid attire, are great helps on these occasions, and to all of these this young lady may lay undisputed claim. Besides this lady, the comedy intro duced to us Mr. BAKER, from Covent garden, in Captain Woodley, in which he was favourably received, and Mr. MATHEWS, from the Dublin Theatre. His debut was in the unambitious part of the elder .211 r. Malfinl, the per fect performance of which would confer only the appella tive " useful" or " respectable;" to neither of these do we dispute his claim, for he spoke the part with pro priety ; and if he will for the future use both hands in " suiting the action to the word" to the total abandon ment of his left hand coat-pocket, he will look less like a teapot, and will, no doubt, be considered as a " useful" accession to the company. The younger Malfort was enacted by COOPER. Governor fleartall, in FAR REN'S hands, left Us nothing to regret on the score of early prejudices ; neither did HARLEY'S Ti mothy Quaint, though we well remember Cor.Litas's. In the farce of the Irish Tutor, which followed, Powxa, from Covent-garden, came out here in Doctor O'Toole, which he sustained throughout with his usual excellence. In O'Hara's burletta of Midas, which concluded the even ing's entertainment, Miss FERGUISON, not unknown to a London audience by her performances at the English Opera-house, made her first appearance on this stage as Apollo. She was at first much alarmed, and we think would have fallen, but for the happy intervention of a cloud against which she leaned. She rallied, however, afterwards so as to secure an encore in "Pray Goody," and in her trial song, "Follow, follow, over mountain," which she introduced. Her reception may be said to have been very favourable. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Preparatory to its opening under the new management this theatre is undergoing interiorly complete renovation, and, in many respects, very considerable alterations. The present appropriate devices, the national emblems of the the three United Kingdoms, are retained, but the interior will in other respects assume an entirely new fsce. The prevailing colour• is a French, or pearl, white, which con trasted with the highly-burnished gold, has a very light and tasteful effect. The ceiling has been entirely new painted, and ornaments in gold relief, interspersed with wreaths of flowers, make it harmonise with the front of the hosts, and give a completeness so the whole which has not been hitherto achieved. The most important of the alterations is the conversion of the ten centre boxes of the dress circle into stalls, neatly and commo diously fitted up into single seats, which may be secured at the box-office, and, if not previously iet, are to be thrown open to the visitors of that part of the theatre. These will consist of four, instead of five rows of seats, as at present, and will thus allow greater accommodation to the legs of visitors than heretofore, and will also render easy the egress and regress to and from the seats. The passage directly at the back of the dress circle, in which, it will be remembered was a bust of Milton, is now converted into a retiring room for the occu pants of the stalls. It will be brilliantly lighted, and hand somely fitted up with drapery and ottomans. In the centre is erected a place from whence refreshments of every de scription may be obtained. A box on each side of the first and second tiers has been converted into four private boxes, which, if unlet, are to be used under the same regu'ations as the stalls. Toe King's room, now so seldom used, is to be opened as a retiring and refreshment room, for the accommodation of the visitors of the dress-circle Over the pit, in the centre of the ceiling, an entirely new and splendid chandelier, at the cost of 1,2001. is to be affixed. It is so constructed as to be raised or lowered as occasion may require, and is expected to obviate the necessity of having any other light before the curtain. The whole of the seats in the boxes, pit, and galleries, have been restaffed and are also newly covered with scarlet cloth. The fronts of the boxes will be newly cushioned, which will be co vered with scarlet plush, and the backs of the boxes will be newly covered with a richly embossed geranium-coloured paper, relieved by gold mouldings. Besides the audience part, the entrance halls, staircases, saloons, and passages, have been repaired and painted throughout, and the dingy imitative drapery which surrounded the pit has been painted in imitation of granite. There is a call of performers for this day, and on Monday next the theatre will open with the Merchant of Venice, in which a young aspirant for dramatic fame will essay the pact of Shylock. He is said to be a native of Glasgow, by name HEDDERWICK, and, although but seventeen years of age, report speaks highly of his talents. In this play Miss SYDNEY, from the Olympic and Haymarket, will make her first appearance here as Nerissa, and FORRESTER, from the New Strand Theatre, as Gratiuno. The play will be followed by a new military spectacle, by PLANCHE, founded on an inci dent in the early life of JOHN CHURCHILL, afterwards Duke of Ma at.noao', called His First Campaign. In this piece LAPORTE himself will appear, and the cast em braces the favourites of former seasons, and amongst whom may be mentioned Misses TAYLOR, H. Cawsr, and POOLE; Messrs. BARTLEY, WA RDE, &c. On Wednes day, The Hunchback is announced, in which SHERIDAN KNOWLES will resume his character of Master {Yalta, and Miss ELLEN TREE is announced for the first time as Julia. It is not true that a Christmas pantomime is abandoned ; there is one in preparation. One of SHAKES PEARE'S comedies is also in preparation, with music, in which Mr. JONES, after an absence of some years, will make his reappearance. Durin g the last week the thermometer in London fell as low as 41 : in the country there have been two or three nights of severe frost. THEIR MAJESTIES. (Fr= the Windsor Express of Saturday.) At the Castle every thing is now in a state of complete quietude, and the Cnurt appears to be enjoying a little :repose after the dazzling gaieties of the past season. There is no company whatever visiting their MAJESTIES, except ing some of the members of the family, and no visiters are expected for some time to come. The KING and QUEEN remain in good health, and continue to take their rides and drives in this delightful neighbourhood, gene rally once a day. • The Duchess of GLOUCESTER has left, and although her Royal Highness is better, her health c,intinues still extremely delicate. NVe do not hear that there is any foundation for the re port, that thel(ING intends forming a gallery of busts of all the Kings it( England, and distinguished men, their contemporaries; nor can we learn that his late MAJESTY entertained any such design, had it been even practicable. GEORGE V.'s object was to form a gallery of paintings of all the distinguished men of his own time, many of which were executed, and are now placed in the Waterloo Gallery. We understand that the KING has employed an eminent artist to paint the costume of all the different regiments composing the British army, similar to the collection made by WILLIAM, Duke of Cumberland, in the middle of the last century, and which is now placed in the Equerry's room at the Castle. The accident which occurred on Tuesday morning to Prince GEORGE of Cumberland has caused the greatest solicitude at the Castle. The blow was a severe one, and as it was on the only eye of which his Highness retains the sight, great fears were entertained for the consequences. This day, we understand, the account from Kew is very favourable. Lord PALMERSTON is expected to dine with the KING this evening. His MAJESTY goes to town as usual on Wednesday to confer with his Ministers. - --- - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER MEETING CONCLUDED. FRIDAY NIGHT.

Fang had a capital start, and led them along at a smart pace to the distance; here Bird catcher, Physician, and the Figaro filly went up to him, and the four ran in company to the Stand, where Fang and the filly died away. The few lengths remaining were severely contested, Physician winning by a short half length. We presume the difference in the course was the occasion, or we should be induced to wonder how Physi cian was beaten by Birdcatcher and the Figaro filly in the Leger race. Ludlow ran about as well as he did on Tuesday, and Fang not much better. The winner ridden by H.

Our advices by the Skylark inform us that trade was at a complete stand, still at Tampico and Vera Cruz, without any prospect of improvement. General SANTA ANNA was at Mount Orizaba, about twenty-five leagues from Vera Cruz. A Tampico pilot-boat arrived at Vera Cruz on the 23th July, with the news that Saint Louise bad been taken, upon which a salute was fired by the guns of the fort. The French barque of war Ceres, 18 guns, with the French Consul of Tampico and family On board, was lying at anchor near the I-le of Sacrificios. The town of Tampico had been rendered more healthy by the cl ear i ng of the woods, &c., in its neighbourhood. Rear_Admiral LABORDE, in the Hero, 74, with a large frigate, corvette, and brig of war, were at the Havannah. The Bishop of Cuba, Dr. D. JUAN Diaz DE EsPADA, died on the 14th of August.

Sza.,—lt is with considerable surprise and indignation that i see a long account in your paper of to-day of a meeting at the Marylebone-office, between a person named Riddell and myself, and as it is a gross perversion of the truth, reflecting upon my character, I feel it a duty I ovvt to myself to lose no time in clearing away the calumny. Riddell having come to my linu•e disgustingly tipsy, and saying he would not leave unless I gave him some money, I, knowing he had no claims, found myself compelled to force him out, when he remained sitting at my door, am' compelled me to send for a police-officer to take him away . Now, Sir, on appearing before Mr. Hoskins, the Alao b is. trate, I simply stated (without reference to any exp e di tion) the above circumstance, and wished his Wurshil would restrain him from subjecting me to a repetition. Mr. Riddell was now beard, and at his conclusion the Magistrate got him to promise not to annoy me again. The object of my complaint being answered, I retired, and no sootier had I left the door when this Riddell again annoyed me, and induced me to return to the Magis trate, and request his intercession, when his Worship (certainly very much to icy surprise) gave me to un derstand he partly credited the right of the man's claims. I observed, that had I conceived for a moment that such was his impression, I should have felt it my duty to tell hint of the fact of my having a receipt now in my pos session from Riddell for an indemnification of all his ex penses ; when Mr Hoskins briefly told 1110, that to avoid any further molestation I could retire by a private door, when immediately I did so, but never dreamed that so scandalous and miachievous an account would have reached the papers. Permit me, Sir, to assure you that it is now nearly a year since I got the receipt alluded to, but regret to have met Riddell two or three times afterward., wan dering the streets in distress, with his wife, when, on whose latter account, I always gave him some pecuniary assistance, receiving, in return, his expressions of grati tude and satisfaction with my conduct at all times. I, therefore, verily believe, that the man (being distressed) has been fixed upon as a fit person by the hirelings of Don Miguel to produce this annoyance and notoriety to the friends of the liberating party. 1 really, Sir, am at a loss to know how so unjust a statement could have got into your impartial paper, but as I can vouch for the truth of my own statement upon oath, I hope you will grant me the insertion of this letter, I have the honour to remain, Sir, your obedient ser vant, CHARLES COCHRANE. Dorset-street, Portman-square, Friday, Sept. 21. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Saturday a young man, named Reynolds, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, under the follow ing circumstances : Mr. Wilson, a merchant in Devonshire-square, stated that he saw an advertisement in one of the pa- - pers of a footman who wanted a place, and wrote to the address, when he was waited upon by the pri soner, who, after some conversation, said he had lived with Captain Foy, Lord John Somerset, the Rev. Mr. Corry, of Russell-place, Fitzroy-square, and a gentleman in Hall Moon -street, &c. Witness wrote to Captain Foy, of Cheltenham, at the re quest of the prisoner, when a curious scene disclosed itself. The prisoner had said that he had lived two years with Captain Foy, and witness was surprised at not receiving an immediate answer. In three or four days, however, there came a letter pretending to be from Captain Foy, giving the highest charac ter to the prisoner, arid speaking abundantly of his capabilities as a footman. Upon this recommen dation Mr. Wilson would have engaged the prisoner, if there had not arrived by the same post the follow ing letter from the head-waiter at one of the inns at Cheltenham : " Sir—l send for your perusal a copy of a letter sent me by a Mr. Reynolds, of 33, Shoemaker-row, requesting me to put an enclosed letter into the post-office at Chel tenham, directed to Wilson, Esq., Devonshire-squire, London, which I did not think proper to do, but sent him a letter in answer to that effect. Why a letter should come from London to go by post to Devonshire-square I cannot conceive; and therefore I bave sent you, on the other side, a copy of the correspondence connected therewith.— I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " RORERT WHITMARSH,waiter at the Plough Hotel." The following are extracts from the enclosed let ters that were sent by Reynolds to the head waiter, and to one of the principals of the Plough Inn : " Mr. Whitmarsh—l shall feel much obliged to you if you will do me the favour as to put this enclosed letter (that pretending to be from Captain Foy) into the Gene ral Post. as-soon as you have read this, so that it might come up by the Thursday evening's post. I hope I can depend upon you to do it for me: and will you go to the General Post-office, and ask for a letter directed for W. H. Foy, as it has been a lying there ever since Thursday last, 6th Sept. ; and if so be you can get it will take it upon yourself to burn it, so that it might not be returned. I hope I can depend upon you, for it is of the greatest con sequence. I lived under you as waiter in 1828. " W.M. REYNOLDS." " Honoured Sir,—l was once in your service, by the recommendation of Mrs. Jervis, 15, in the Crescent, in 1828. I have written a letter to Mr. Whitmarsh, which he received on Thursday, 13th of Sept. I also enclosed another letter, directed to Wilson, Esq., Devonshire square, London, which I asked him if he would have the goodness to put itinto the General Post-office for me, but he has thought proper to keep it altogether, and I expect he has broken it open, and if so, I will prosecute him as the law directs. I wish you would see the letter, and that it is sent as directed. If this is not complied with, I will. come down and prosecute him for feloniously stealing the letter. If I had been asked to put a letter into the post office, I should have done it ; so would you, or anybody else, with any common sense, and not a stole it. I trust you will see it properly settled, without any further trou ble. Your truly bumble servant, W. REYNOLDS. " To Nayler, Esq., Plough Hotel, Cheltenham." Mr. Wilson stated, that as the counting-house anti the private house were connected, his footman would have constant access to the former, where considerable sums of money might frequently be laid hold of.---The prisoner said that he could not proceed in his defence until he had seen his solicitor. —Mr. Wilson had no objection to a postponement, but he was determined, whatever trouble it might cost him, to pursue the prosecution to the extremity, for the sake of the public. The LORD MAYOR said that he thought NIL W3l - had had a very narrow escape, arid hoped the public would be put upon their guard against prac tices of the kind. Mr. Hobler said it was a usual thing now for servants to say, upon being put away, that they did not care whether their masters gave them a character or not. Such fellows, no doubt, were prepared with some tricks like that which gave rise to the present prosecution.—The prisoner was then remanded. BOW-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF LARCENY, OR IN SANITY.—Mr. W. Clifford, a man about fifty years of age, attired in a most respectable manner, and described as a teacher of languages, was brought be fore G. R. MINSIIULL, Esq., by a policeman of the F division, charged with having that morning stolen, in the shop of Mr. Mott, a silversmith in Pickett street, Temple-bar, a silver cream-ewer, value two pounds, his property. . . The prisoner, respecting whom it may be neces sary to say a few words before we narrate the facts of the case as proved by the witness, has been for many years a schoolmaster in the neighbourhood of Soho-square, and recently a teacher of languages in Holborn. He is the author of a pamphlet addressed to Earl Grey and Lord Melbourne on the subject of the criminal jurisprudence that would, if adopted, be the means of protecting property and preventing the commission of crime. A few weeks ago the prisoner came to this office, and presented himself before Mr. Halls, one of the magistrates, to whom he handed one of his productions on the necessity of a total change in our criminal law, as a security et) property and prevention of crime. tie said that he had corresponded with the Judges of the land and the Ministers on the so(•leut upon which he had written, atm.' unless they adopted his plan in a very short time there would be no respect paid to property in the country. Mr. Hills pro mised to read his pamphlet, and he left the office ; the worthy Magistrate at the time, from his manner, and also from the contents of his work, concluding him to be, upon the particular solr• ject upon which he had written, in a state of mental aberration ; whether the Magistrate was incorrect in his opinion will be better seen in the sequel. A shopman in the employment of Mr. Mott stated the prisoner came into his master's shop that morning „.........-, and asked to see a silver stand, value about 61. Wit- i' ness informed him that he had no such article in ihe shop, and then the prisoner asked the price of a silver cream-ewer. Wi tness to ld hi m i t was 21. ; nd the prisoner, after l oo k Mg at it for a f e y seconds "-- ran out of the shop with it. Wi tness f o ll owe d h i m, ' and found that lie had gone about ten yards from the shop door. Witness took him into custody, and gave him into the charge of a policeman. The prisoner offered no resistance. • Policeman 25, F division, said that he received the prisoner in charge, and on his person he found the pamphlets he then produced, and also two silver cream-ewers, one of which was claimed by the last witness as his master's property. Prisoner—l did not attempt to escape, and had no intention to commit a robbery. Mr. Mrssuctd.— It looks very like a robbery. Prisoner—My object is to prevent robbery and pro tect property.—(A laugh.) I sav that my pam phlet, addressed to Earl they, will prove I had no intention to commit a felony. That pamphlet is my defence. Ido not deny taking the cream-ewer, but I had no intention to make money of ir. I had a great national object in view, and no intention of stealing. I was determined to bring the subject of my pamphlet before the country, as the only means of preventing shopkeepers from being plundered, and saving the nation from destruction. I have written to Lords Grey, Brougham, Althorp, Mel bourne, Russell, &c. upon the subject, and have sent hem my pamphlet. I have this (lay written a le:- ter to Lord Grey, but the letter has been taken from me by the policeman. Ido trust, however, that your Worship will send the letter to his Lordship, as the security of property in this country depends upon the adoption of my advice to his Lordship, contained in that letter. Mr. NiNstiull, said that he should not send the letter, and he had heard no excuse for the offence committed. The finding another silver ewer on the prisoner tended to show that it was not a single offence he had committed. Prisoner—l h.tve com mitted no crime; I intended to commit no crime ; but I do not deny taking the ewer from Mr. Mott's shop. . Mr. MINSHULL—I shall remand you, and perhaps may find out:where you obtained the other ewer. PrisOner=l will not give you any trouble on that point, your Worship. I toak the other ewer from the shop of a silversmith, corner of the Poultry, in Cheapside, a few days ago, in precisely the same way that I took the one from the shop of Mr. Mott. I walked out of the shop, and expected the shop man to follow me and take me into custody. Ile did not pursue me, and I have kept the ewer ever since, never intending to appropriate it to my own use, or I might have sold or pawned it.—[The pri soner here give the policeman the address of the silversmith from whose shop he took the second ewer.]—ln taking the property in question I knew I should be charged with robbery, and I had detei rained to sacrifice my feelings and my liberty for the good of my country. I knew I should be brought nefore a Jury, and I shall be able to convince them that my intentions were virtuous. Mr. MINgIIULL said that he could only treat the offence as a robbery; and asked the prisoner if he 4ad any friends, as he should very much like to see hem if he had. Prisoner—Friends, to be sure; who is better known than myself? No man who ever came to this office; and on my trial you will see thousands come to speak to my good intentions. I would riot rob any one. I had no means of giving publicity to my pamphlet, which is published in Frith -street, Soho, price one shilling, without being brought be fore the public. My system must be adopted, or, n the course of a few months, there will be nothing !,ut universal plunder. Mr. MlNstiuti—l shall remand you for a few 4lays, and will see your friends in the interim. The flieer will give notice to the silversmith in the Poultry to attend on the next examination. The prisoner asked for his pamphlets, and 'gain pressed the Magistrate to send his letter to Efal Grey. Mr. MINSHULL said he would attend to the wishes of the prisoner, and ordered him to be remanded. The witnesses were bound over by the Magistrate to prosecute on Mr. Mott's charge. It was stated that the prisoner had frequently ad dressed public meetings on the subject of his altera tions or improvements in the criminal law ; and hough he converses calmly and rationally on every other subject, he appears decidedly insane upon that. A very pretty and well-dressed young woman, amed Ellen Dorcas, came to the office with her aunt to ask the Magistrate's advice. She said she was a native of Exeter, which she had just left for the first time in her life. About two months ago .he became-acquainted with a young gentleman who was there for a short time, who paid her attention, tnd promised to marry her if she would come with him to London, where he had, he said, considerable property. She consented to come away without the knowledge of her friends, and he prevailed on her to pack up as much property as she could, and -end it to an inn, parcel by parcel. He next pro posed that he should come to London, bringing with him her baggage as well as his own, and assured her that on her arrival she would find him at the Golden Lion,-Golden-square. She came, and found there was no Golden Lion at Golden-square, and that she had been cruelly deceived and plundered. The MAGISTRATE lamented that he could do no thing unless the robber could be found; but advised 'ter if she Saw him in the street to give him in charge to en officer immediately. With this advice the poor girl left the office. Q UEEN-SQ UARE. UNSTAMPED PUBLICATIONS.—Coney, the in 'ormer, brought up a yornig man of the name o f Thomas Hanbury, and charged him with selling an ististamped pubttcation entitled the Poor Man's Guardian. He saw him selling that morning the above paper near Astley's Theatre, and took him nto custody. A bundle of the papers was found upon him. Mr. GREGORIE was looking at the number and late of one of the papers, when the prisoner said to him, " I'm glad to see in your hands, for the first time, a newspaper of the right sort." The MAGISTRATE askedlim whether he had any defence to make ? Prisoner—None in the world; As long as that paper was published he would sell it, let the consequences be what they may. lie thought proper to do so, and would in spite of every obstacle. Mr. GREGORIE—If you arc brought before me again I shall inflict the utmost punishment the law allows upon you. For the present offence you must go the House of Correction for six weeks.
