This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of Children, when thought past re covery, from Convulsions arising from painful d ntition. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the Gums the Child will be relieved, the Gums cooled, and the inflammation reduced. It is as innocent as efficacious, tending to produce the Teeth with ease; and so pleasant, that no Child will re fuse to let its Gums he rubbed with it. When Infants are at the age of four months, the Syrup should be rubbed on th e Gums ; and Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young Children; fo r if a Child wakes in the night with pains in the Gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers, &c. The great success of this Medi cine during the last Twenty-five Years has induced un principled persons to imitate it, under the name of Aineri cm Soothing Syrup, and copying parts of Mrs. Johnson's Bills, &c. Parents will, therefore, he very particular to ask for JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP, and to notice that the Names of Barclay and Sons, 95, Farringdon.street, London (to whom Mrs. Johnson has sold the recipe), is on the Stamp affixed to each Bottle.

THE NEW SPORTING WORK.—" Hunting, shooting, fishing, eccentricity, fun in its wildest moods, merry tales of tragic stories, sketches of country which now remind the reader of C aude, and anon of savage Rota—pictures of character both rude and civilized, Worthy, we had almost said, of old CHAUCER himself— new facts in natural history, and a new co 1e of instruc tions for the lover of field -sports, constitute the materials of the amusing volumes _ entitled,' Wild Sports of the West.' To use an expressive word, though it savours of sang, our author is a complete ' out-and outer,' whether on the lakes among the wild-fowl, or pursuing the red-deer in their lonely haunts, or exploring the precipitous rocks in search of the eagles' aeries, or sailing in the estuaries for s -~,.~ (No. 12,529.) ROLLS COURT, Nov. 5. MERCY V. ROBERTS. This was a bill filed by the assignees of the estate of an insolvent legatee, for the purpose of recover ing a legacy of 400/., bequeathed under the will of his father for his sole and absolute benefit. The will vested a discretionary power in the executors as to the mode, extent, and time of the application of the property; and the question turned upon this circumstance—whether, on the principles of the Court, this discretionary power over this equitable property of the insolvent should defeat the claims of creditors. His HoNouß said if this property did not vest in the assignees, it would remain in the executors, to be exercised at their discretion in favour of the in solvent. The policy of the law, however, did not permit the property to remain in a state to be ap plied in any manner to the insolvent's benefit, and the discretion of the executors was therefore at an end. In this case a question incidentally arose of consi derable nicety, and on which there does not appear to have been a very clearly-expressed opinion in any of the authorities, as to the power of the assignees of an insolvent to commence and prosecute.a suit without the consent of the creditors of the estate, or a majority of them. His HONOUR expressed a wish that the point should be argued by Counsel on a future day, and he would afterwards communicate with the other Judges, in order that a uniform principle might be adopted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 5. MELLISH V. RAWDON AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a member of the firm of Messrs. Gore arid Co., against Me=srs. Rawdon and Co., of Liverpool, to recover .540/., the amount of a bill of exchange, drawn by the defendants at sight upon Messrs. Guamaraens and Co., of Rio Janeiro. The action was tried before Lord Chief Justice Tindal, in the London sittings after last term, when the Jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant TADDY now moved for a new tr'al, on the ground of misdirection on the part of the learned Judge. The COURT granted a rule to show cause. GOODMAN V. BEAUMONT AND ANOTHER. This was an action of libel, tried at the last York shire Assizes: it was brought by the plaintiff, an Alderman of Richmond, against the defendants, the printers of a pamphlet, which imputed to him that he had been guilty of peculation in putting 2d. a bushel into his pocket when charging for coals which he had supplied to the poor during his office of mayoralty. The defendants pleaded several special pleas in justification, and the Jury having found a verdict for the defendants on four of those pleas, Mr. Sergeant JONES to-day moved that judgment be entered for the plaintiff on all the pleas, not with standing such verdict, on the ground that they fur nished no answer to the declaration, the charge in the libel being that the plaintiff had put 2d. per bushel into his own pocket, whereas the pleas only alleged that he charged Bd., when he might have bought them for tid. One was a charge of pecula tion; the other only a charge of improvidence. The COURT granted a rule to show cause.

WhenlMr. Baker went there, he was told he could not have his box unless he paid nearly the full value. Mr. Quaife, of the Stamp-office, now attended with the box in obedience to Mr. Laing's summons. Mr. LAING told him to give the box into the custody of an officer. Mr. Quaife—l shall do so, hut not with the consent of the Commissioners, who object to parting with it until the Act of Par liament is complied with. Mr. LAING asked Mr. Baker how much was de manded of him at the Stamp-office ? Mr. Baker replied, half the value of the box itself, and two thirds of the value of the contents. Mr. LAING—Had you an interview with the Commissioners? Mr. Baker—l had not, your Worship ; but I saw a clerk or secretary. 111 r. Quaife said, it was usual to ask two-fifths the value of the contents, and half the value of the box, in order that the coachman might be rewarded for his " honesty." Mr. LAING said, if the prisoner did not take the box with a felonious intention, he had been guilty of an attempt to defraud Mr. Baker, by carrying the property to the Stamp-office under pretended honesty. He ordered the box to be delivered over to Mr. Baker, which was accordingly done, and he quitted the office. TV 0 RSHIP-S TREE 7'. AN 'sus!' Row.—Daniel Bond, Sarah Bond, and Mary Hughes, all Irish people, living in Whitecross•streer, were charged with wounding Patrick Lee, and brutally assaulting his wife, Sarah Lee. The prosecutrix, Sarah Lee, who appeared in a very weak state and far advanced in the family way, stated that the prison er Mary Hughes, without any provocation on her part, entered her room, and kicked her in the abdomen, and— Prisoner (interrupting her)—l did not, I only gave you a douse in the mouth. Hands, an officer, banded to the Magistrate a surgeon's certificate, a'ating that the woman had been kicked in that part of her person, but that it was not of a dangerous nature. Patrick Lee, the husband, who appeared with his hand dreadfully cut, stated that, ou his going to the prisoners' room below, to remonstrate with them, on the brutal attack on his wife, they all three sprang at him, when one of them cut his thumb to the bone with a knife. Which of them did it he could not say. Mr. TWYFORD—Mary Hughes, what have you to say for yourself ? Prisoner—Why, tell you. On Saturday night, mother Lee and her palls had a dance just over our heads, and while we was taking our suppers, part of the ceiling fell into our plate , .. So I just went up to her and gave her a " stroke in the mouth," and that's the truth. Mr. TWYFORD—CaII your witnesses. Prisoner— They are all gone away. They have been bribed by our accusers. Mr. TWYFORD said it was one of those common rows in which there was a difficulty in getting at the truth; and, therefore, he should hold both par ties to bail to keep the peace towards each other. LOMAX V. JADIS. This was an action on a bill of exchange, tried before Mr. Baron Vaughan and a Special Jury at the sittings after last term, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff. Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS now moved for a new trial. The bill was drawn by the defendant on Lord Foley, in May, 1831, at ten months' date, and Mr. Samuel Sutton, the principal witness who proved the case, and what consideration was given for the bill, ad mitted that he had it from November until the sth of May, and that both the defendant Jadis and Lord Foley on one occasion declared that the bill had been stolen from them, and frequently complained that they had been swindled out of it. Sutton also said, " I handed over the bill to Lomax ; knowing that the bill was stolen, I was desirous not to pass it myself I" A stronger case to call for strict proof of consideration could not be. Now, Sutton said he rook it of Gompertz; Gompertz might have been called, but was not. Lord LYNDHURST—Who is Mr. Gompertz ? Mr. WILLIAMS—That, my Lord, we are very sorry to say we can give you no information about. Mr. Sutton said he gave him 9401. in cash and a horse for this bill, but he could not tell us a word about what he did, or where he lived; he knew no thing of him. Then, as to the reason for passing it to Mr. Lomax after it was due arid had been disho noured, he stated that he had had large transactions wiih him, that frequently he was owing him from 5,0001. to 6,0001., and at the passing of the bill the balance was upwards of 3,0001. Well, what was Mr. Lomax ? Oh, a gentleman of very large pro perty who took a fancy for adding to it by discount ing bills and no more could be got from Mr. Sut ton. Then, said the Learned Gentleman, I have also to object to the notice given of the d'slionour of the bill. Mr. Sutton, on whose shoulders rested the whole case proved that at a certain hotel called Hertford-house he wrote a letter to the defendant giving him notice, but the contents he had forgotten; it had been sent to the twopenny post. The plain tiff's case having been closed, he ( Mr. Willrains) took an objection that the notice had not been suffi ciently proved as there was no evidence of its ever having reached the office, when Mr. Sutton, who was in Court, stood forward and said, " I have the waiter here who took it to the twopenny post." He begged the attention of the Court to the pro- noun in - this remark, it clearly showed who was the real plaintiff in the case, and here was the waiter, of whom the plaintiff's Counsel knew nothing, kept in the back ground, and only produced on an emer gency. He had been instructed to cross-examine a little about that same Hertford-house, and into the manner in which M r . S ut t on got hi s living, and as it was, or rather might seem, a little imperti nent, he told him that he was so instructed, and he hoped they would not quarrell. Mr. Sutton said lie should be extremely glad to answer any of his questions. He then asked him was he in any business or profession. No. He (Mr. W.) might then have been a little impertinent, for he sail, " May I beg to be allowed to ask you how you maintain yourself ?" Upon this Mr. Sut ton got extremely angry ; there was an imme diate explosion of the greatest indignation, and an appeal to the Learned Judge whether he was bound to answer such a question, which was not one that ought to be put to a gentleman. However, he after wards proceeded to say, that he had money ; that a great number of years ago he had been a clerk, or something of that sort, in the Opera•house, but since had had no settled employment. Mr. Williams then asked him whether he was the master or keeper of Hertford house ? No, he was not, and though be was always there, he did not know who was. Was it a gambling-house ? He did not know what a gambling-house was, and when he asked him whether Oxendon-street, where he lived, was not a sporting neighbourhood, he said he (Mr. W.) might go there to sport, but as for him (the witness), he generally went to some other neighbourhood. Now, the Court would THAMES POLICE. Yesterday, Eliza Wild, a woman in very dis tressed circumstances, aged 35, was brought before Mr. BRODERIP, the Sitting Magistrate, charged with at tempting to drown herself in the London-dock. William Wheeler, a po ice -constable, No. 160, K, on Saturday night, between 9 and 10 o'clock, was on duty in New Gravel-lane, Shadvvell, whet► an alarm was given that a woman had just thrown herself into the dock from the swivel-bridge. He instantly proceeded to the spot, and saw the pri soner struggling in the basin, which is more than 20 feet in depth. Before any assistance arrived she sunk ; but the drags and boat-hooks were quickly procured, and, after more than ten minutes had elapsed, she was caught by the clothes with a long boat-hook, and with great difficulty dragged out of the water in a state of insensibility, and to all appearance dead. He immediately conveyed her to the shop of Mr. Croucher, a surgeon, in Shad well High -street, who paid her every attention, and suc ceeded in restoring suspended animation. He then, with the aid of Sergeant Shaw, conveyed her to the station-house. Inspector Fagan questioned the prisoner, and she said that extreme distress compelled her to make the attempt on her life. He had since ascertained that her husband was a sawyer, and lived at No. 43, New Gravel-lane, but for some time past had not been able to obtain much employment. About two years ago the prisoner had three children at one birth. They all lived for several months. She had now three young children living, and they appeared to be much in want of the common necessaries of life. The prisoner, who appeared overwhelmed with grief, and was in a very weak and pitiable state, was truly sorry for what she had done, and implored forgiveness. The sight of her three children cry ing around her for food, and the distress of herself and her husband, who was unable to obtain mutt employment, grieved her so much that, in a mo ment of despair, she left home and threw herself into the dock. Mr. BRODERIP said, it was her duty to have ap plied to the overseers, and in case of failure there, to that office. He should allow her to depart, for he believed her penitence was sincere ; and he di rected Wheeler, the policeman, to represent her case to the overseers, and keep his eye on the pri soner and her family. CORK ASSIZES. COUNTY CRIMINAL COURT, Ocr. 30. ASSAULT ON GEORGE LOW BOND, ESQ., AT CASTLE TOWNROCIIE, ON THE 4TH OF JULY. William Reynolds, William Ronayne,Roaer Rey nolds, John Hennessy (publican), John Hennessy (labourer), John Quinlan, and Paul Harty, were all severally indicted fur having on the 4th of July, it the town of Castletownroche, assaulted and ob structed, in the discharge of his duty, George Bond Lowe, Esq., Justice of the Peace. Mr. Bennett, King's Counsel, stated the case and examined the witnesses for the prosecution; and Mr. O'Connell conducted the defence. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 31. Mr. Justice Moore charged the Jury, who retired, and after a long consultation found the first six tra versers Guilty; T. Harty, Not Guilty. Between thirty and forty prisoners in the Castk pook affair were brought up and arraigned. They pleaded by their counsel, Mr. O'Connell, that they could not be justly tried in the present excited state of the country. Mr. O'Connell also confessed that he was not pi epared. Their trials Here then postponed till next assizes or commission. The trials of Mr. Hodnett, and all others in dicted for similar offences, are all postponed. Messrs. Twiss, Rumayne, Dunally, aud O'Lo masse, had submitted, it is said, by the advice of Mr. O'Connell. No sentence has yet been pronounced. The power and resources of Denmark have considerably improved within the last 10 years. The po pulation of Copenha,en, which, during the 19 years, frbm 1802 to 1820, was almost stationary, increased in the 10 following years by one-tenth, and amounted in 1830 to 111,793 souls. The uumuer of buildings has increa.td in the same proportion. The price of labour an the numb, r of labourers have also augmented, whilst the prices oi piu visions have diminished. LONDON, 'HIES DAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 0, 1832. see that this Sutton was the mainstay of the action. His manner and answers at the trial were none in his favour. The defendant had now an affidavit that Sutton, with three or four other persons was convicted of a conspiracy about six years ago for selling an office in the &Ist India Company, and that he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. The COURT observed, that that did not disqualify him from appearing as a witness. Mr. WfwAms was aware of that; but that fact, with some others they had learned since the trial, being laid before the Jury, they might not put such implicit faiih in the testimony of Mr. Sutton, the only witness, as they did before. The COURT granted the rule on the first and last grounds. As to the notices, they thought Mr. Williams should have inquired more into them on the trial. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The Assistant Overseer of the parish of An-Hal lows, London-Wall, applied to the LORD MAYOR to sign an order to compel a resident of Bishopsgate parish to . pay the usual rewards to the firemen, who appeared foremost with their engines at a fire in No. I I, Broad-street Buildings. The LORD MAYOR, upon looking at the order pre sented for his signature, and perceiving that it was not signed by either the Alderman, Deputy, or Common Council of the Ward, could not, in accord ance with the Act of Parliament, compel the payment of the rewards without such authority. The Assistant Overseer said that the firemen who had attended were present, and ready to swear that they had gone in with their engines, and the owner of the premises hail no objection to pay, provided the Alderman, Deputy, or two of the Common Connell, as the Act required, would, by their signa ture, prove that he was responsible. He (the As sistant Overseer) had called at the houses of Mr. William Riwlins, the Deputy, and others of the Common Councilmen, but he found that Sir William was out, and the Common Councilmen refused to sign the order, as they had not themselves seen the fire. The LORD MAvon—l can't help it, and I am very sorry for it. The Assistant Overseer—What are we to do, then, my Lord, if the Common Councilmen all choose to reject upon such grounds ? How can we expect that competition among the firemen which leads to the preservation of so much property ? The LORD MAvort—Why, you must knock at the doors of all the Common Councilmen of the Ward in which the tires may happen, whatever the hour of the night may be, find call upon them to witness the fires, if they won't credit anything but their ow❑ eyes.—(A laugh.) I don't know of any other way of getting justice done. The Assistant—l certainly shall do as you advise, my Lord. IV. Quin, one of the officers employed in taking care of and exhibiting some of the curiosities in the Tower of London, was charged by Kinnersley, the beadle of Aldgate, with having deserted his wife and left her destitute. Kintiersley stated that Mr.Quin had prevailed upon a lady of considerable property to marry him, and that after having run out all the property so ob tained, he thought fit to render her as little assist ance as possible. He had agreed to allow his wife ten shillings a week out of his salary at the time, but he forgot the obligation, and now owed the parish 81. 10s. for money advanced to the lady. Mr. Quin said, that his lady, if she wanted money, could easily get it by applying to her brother or other relations, who were at all times ready to give her .50/. or 1001. As for the charge against him of having wheedled her into the matrimonial state, that was, upon his honour, destitute of foundation. The fact was, there had been a mistake upon both sides. His wife fancied that he was a man of fortune, and he fancied that she was quite able to supply his de facts in that particular.—(Laughter.) Although the British Ambassador in Spain joined their hands, he regretted to say that there was very little in them at the time.—(Laughter.) Mrs. Quin said that her husband had wasted a great deal of property foolishly, and was now so ec centric in his habits that he could no t be depended upon; and that were it not for the parish officers her condition wou'd be desperate. She hoped the Lord Mayor would protect her, by compelling the regular payment of her allowance. Mr. Quin—Upon my honour it is not convenient for me to pay. lam sorry for it, but it is easier for the whole parish to pay titan for me.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—If you don't support your wife, Mr. Quin, I must send you to prison. Upon my honour I must, Mr. Quin—(A laugh)—and then you will stand a chance of losing your situation. Don't you think so ? Mr. Quin—Why, yes, my Lord; I think my place would be rather doubtful if I was prevented from attending to its duties. The fact is, my Lord, I am now in arrears, and not able to pay my wife, on account of a little absence upon one occa sion, for which I got suspended for a month. EtmKi e i rs ii t n icie e s r u s ii i in i t — hNe lt , is true, my Lord, that he was sus pended fur accepting an invitation to take a little gin, when he ought to have been waiting upon their Tower.M there was no gin in the question, —not a drop. The truth is, my Lord, 11,.r Majesty came to the Tower, and I was suddenly taken very ill. It happened that when the Queen went to the apartment of which I had the care, I was not exactly in the way, and, us I had the key in my pocket, no admission could be obtained, and I was put out of the way for a month for not being in the way.— (Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR advised the defendant to satisfy the parish•otlicers of his inclination to sup port his wife, and the parties withdrew for the pur pose of arguing the mater. UNFORTUNATE DILEMMA.—A young woman of respectable connections, applied to the LORD MAYOR for permission to swear a child to a master baker, who resides at Limehouse. The applicant had, she said, gone upon an invi tation to the house of the baker, to attend his wife, who was seriously ill. She did not go as a servant, but as a friend. The sick woman died, and the applicant remained in the house to superintend its affairs for a short time. The baker availed himself of the opportunity which her lonely situation pre sented, snd effected his purpose by force. She, however, had the imprudence to remain for a week under his protection, as it is called, and at the end of that time was utterly abandoned by him. Upon finding that she was enciente, she applied to the officers of the parish, the baker having refused to give her the least assistance, and was advised by them to go into the Lying-in-Hospital, at St. Luke s. As she was a widow, and did not inform the officers at the Lying-in-Hospital that her husband was dead, no objection was made to her admission,and she wa• brought to bed there. Upon applying to the parish officers at Limehouse, she was refused permission to swear the child to the father, and was disdainfully refused a single farthing by him. Under these me lancholy circumstances, she supplicated the Lord Mayor's interference. All she wanted of the ma" who had ruined her wag, that he would support his child; she was perfectly well able to support herself. _ .. The LORD MAYOR unfortunately could do nothing but supply her with the means of going to her de ceased husband's palish. His Lordship then gave 'ler some money, and she left the Justice-room in great distress of mind. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. JUVENILE PLUNDEREFL—XOrah Con nor, an old Irish woman, who sells fruit about Oxford-street, ovas brought before Mr. CoNANT, charged with hav ing, in concert with a number of other fruit-women, incited a little boy, named Cross, to obtain a large number of loaves, in the name of his father, from the baker with whom he dealt for bread. Mr. CONANT directed her to be remanded for the present, in order that further investigation might take place, and that the other women might, if pos sible, apprehended. " UNADULTERATED MILK."--Peggy Reardon, a cherry-cheeked Irish milk-maid, charged Thomas Hughes, foreman to a cow-keeper, in the New-road, with having inflicted several thumps and kicks on various parts of her person, on Friday last. It appeared that it was customary for those retail dealers who get their milk at this yard to send their own milkers, in order that they might secure a sup ply of the unadulterated article; and the complainant, Peggy, made her appearance in the cow-house on the morning in question to superintend the interests of one of the retail " genuine" milk venders. Hav ing milked a certain quantity, Peggy placed the pail unthinkingly too near the tail of the cow, and while her back was turned for a moment, the animal, by an act which cannot be further explained, contrived to add to the contents of the pail, without at all improv ing the quality of the milk. As soon as the " un toward" occurrence was discovered, the complainant took the pail into the measuring room, and ex plained the nature of the accident to the foreman, telling him at the same time cot to mix it with the clean milk. The complainant having finished her milking, returned into the measuring-room for the purpose of receiving her quantity, but when the pails were handed to her, she, judging from the colour, and other evidence of a more conclusive nature, that a portion of the dir:y milk had been mixed with the clean, hinted her suspicions to the defendant, who, denying such to be the fact, she passed the milk through her strainer, by which process she made manifest the fact of something more than milk being in the pail. The defendant on this got into a rage, and having applied in its most vulgar form the epithet of Irish female dog to her, she retorted, by asserting that he belonged to that class of quadrupeds remarkable for the length of their ears. This fired the Welch blood of the defendant, and the result was that he committed the assault now complained of. Well (said Mr.CoNANT), I think the girl acted very properly in refusing to take the dirty milk. It would no have been very creditable to have sold it to the public under such circumstances ; and therefore, I don't see why you should have assaulted her. Your Worship (said the defendant ), I always has a proper respect for the female sex ; but she fit me about the yard; and, though I was compelled to shove her down in the cow-house, she won't go for to say she did'nt fall stft. Is it salt you mane (said Peggy)? and may be I did fall salt; but, your Wurtchip, my gown was spoilt wid the cows any how; and I hope I'll get satisfaction from the likes of ye. Mr. CONANT suggested that the defendant should give the complainant five shillings to pay the ex penses. Both parties accepted this mode of settle ment, and the case was dismissed. Q UEEN-S Q UARE. A DESPERATE CHARACTER —Yesterday a disso• lute creature, named Ellen Stanley, was charged with the following offence :—lt appeared from the evidence of Mr. John Caddell, of the Waterloo road, that on his return home en Suaday night, with his wife, the prisoner met them, and without the slightest provocation, caught hold of Mrs. Caddell, and shouted in her face. The lady was so exceed ingly alarmed at the audacious conduct of the pri soner, that she fainted. The prisoner ran off lank k ing, but was shortly taken into custody by a police man, to whom Mr. Caddell had given a description of her person.—The policeman stated, that the pri soner was, perhaps, one of the most depraved and desperate characters that could well be imagined. She was well known at Union-hall, and he believed that upon an average she had passed nine months out of the twelve in prison for several years past. The prisoner denied being the person who insulted the complainant's wife, but as there was no doubt as to her identify, Mr. GREGORIE committed her to twenty days' hard ►abour at Brixton her way to the lock-up, she told the complainant to take care of his wife when she came out of prison. A very decent looking female, named Caroline Holland, was fully committed for trial for stealing a pair of boots from the shop of Mr. Stacey, in Lam beth-walk. It was evident from the manner in which the theft was perpetrated, that the act was not premedi!ated. While at the bar she trembled greatly, and appeared to suffer much mental agony. In her defence she stated that she was a widow with two children, and in great distress, but when she entered the shop to purchase a pair of boo's for one cf her children, she had not the slightest inten tion of c nimitting a robbery. APPREHENSION OF GUY FAWKES.—From the circum , tance of a number of boys assembling rouud the office in the early parr of the morning, the curiosity of the passengers was excited, and they were induced to make inqurries. The result caused no inconsiderable degree of laughter. It appeared that several boys had determined upon " making up a Guy" yesterday, being the .sth of November, and one little urchin, not " sixpenny worth of half pence" high, suggested among his companions that more money would be gathered if they dressed up a " Guy" to represent a policeman. 'I his was unani mously agreed to by the others, and Master Guy was adorned with a policeman's old great coat, oilski It cape, and bearing a truncheon in his right hand. The plan was exceedingly successful, the coppers being ga thered in at a quick me from almost every passer by, who could not refrain from laughing heartily at the figure. At length an Iri-h policeman, not on duty in Tot hill-street, consid, red his cloth d sgraced by such an exhibition, and " screwing his courage to the sticking point," he rushed among the motley tribe of little urchins, brandishing his truncheon, dispersed the supporters of the chair, and captured " master Guy," which he bore off to the station house. Several of the leaders in this conspiracy were also lugged, neck and crop, into the presence of his superior officer, to answer for their offence— the policeman, no doubt, recollecting the old pro verb, " That what was sport to others was death to him." The Inspector, on hearing the nature of the charge, which was delivered with peculiar so lemnity by the policeman, burst into a fit of laugh ter, in the midst of which he took hold of the " Uuy " policeman by the collar, and bundled him into the arms of the anxious crowd ofj uveniles out side, who were not a little pleased at the result. Not 90 the officious subdltetn, who looked " unut terable things " at the inspector, for the manner in which he treated the charge. The boys, who were taken to the station-house, were of course sent about their business; but a rumour prevailed that they were taken to this Office, and hence the crowd which had assembled. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday, Price, the hackney coachman, was re-examined, charged with having stolen a box be longing to Mr. Baker, who left it in the prisoner's coach. When he asked the prisoner for i , he re fused to deliver it up unless he was paid a shilling. Mr. Bak er d ec li ne d giving this, and the prisoner DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, NOV.

It is affirmed that these communica tions contain a demand that the citadel of Antwerp shall be evacuated by the 12th of November, with the intimation that if this is not done, England and France will begin on the 15th to use coercive mea sure:. This agrees in many points with an article in the 21rourelliste. A letter from Dordrecht, of the 31st of October, says:— " In consequence of the advice given on Monday by the English Consuls, to the ships of their nation to leave the Dutch poets, we hear that they have ;ill left both Rotterdam and this port. We hear that the French Consul at Rotterdam, yesterday, advised the ships, under French colours, to with draw."

THE HAGUE, OCT. 31.—1 t is aili med that the Government has resolved not to reply to the ma nifesto sent by France and England, and that Baron Van Zuylen Van Nyeveldt is expected from Lun d on.—Rotterdanz Courant.

I.—The First Chamber of the States-General met to-(fay, and we hear adopted unanimously the project of law for placing ten mil !ions at the disposal of the Government. To-day there was a Cabinet Council, which sat a long time, and in the department of foreign affairs there is great activity. We learn that our G)vert.- ment has been summoned by the Conference to evacuate by the 2:1 instant the territory assigned to Belgium by the 15th of November, threatening, in case of refusal, the blockade of our ports. We learn from good authority that some Po.vers,includ ing Prussia, will not consent to further hostilities against this kingdom, and will by no means allow the entrance of French troops into Belgium.

In July, when the cholera prevailed so alarmintly in London, a young gen tleman and lady were in the habit of driving to and from the metropolis to Southend, with the horse and chaise. They usually called at the public-house in Wickford, and were both heard to express great fear of taking the pre vailing disease. In consequence of the death of some rdatives of the female by the complaint, it became requi site for them to go to town, which they did, leaving the horse and chaise at Wickford. The horse and chaise have remained there ever since, and after advertisements in the public papers, were sold to pay the expenses of keep. Nothing further has ever been beard of the parties; but an advertisement shortly afterwards appeared in a London paper, stating that a lady and gentlem In had come one afternoon to an inn in Aldgate ; that the 1 idy was that afternoon seized with cholera, and almost immediately ,fterwards the gentleman was likewise attack,d ; that they were both carried off, and buried the next day ; but that no clue to their friends or connexions could be dia. covered.—Essex Independent. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF MR. AND MRS. PArresoN.—lt may be recollected, that about a month since we announced the death of Mr. PATTESON, the bar rister, late of the Home Circuit, and his lady, both of whom were unfortunately drowned in the Lake Couteret, in the Pyrenees, while viewing the beauties of the surrounding scenery in an open boat, which they had hired for the purpose. It appeared that the boatman, who was in the habit of rowing strangers across the lake, had died four days previous to the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. PArrEson, whose anxiety to view the scenery induced them to enter the boat alone, and row to the centre of the lake, from which situation the view of the surrounding Py renees presents the most imposing effect. Mr. PATTI.. son was observed from the shore to rise suddenly from his seat, as if struck with the splendour of the scene, and Mrs. PATTESON at the same moment arose also. The con sequence was, that the little boat was immediately upset, and both were drowned, it being impossible, it was said, to afford them any assistance, owing to the icy coldness of the water, which was supplied by the snow from the sur rounding heights. The body of Mrs. Parresosr was found soon after the accident, but every attempt to recover that of her unfortunate husband proved ineffectual until about three weeks after the melancholy event, when the body was discovered floating on the surface of the lake, swollen to nearly twice its original size. About a fin t night ago a solicitor residing in Gray's-inn, who had been deputed by the friends of the deceased to endeavour to re cover the body of Mr. PATTESON, arrived at the scene of the disaster, and finding that the melancholy object of his journey had been accomplished, he caused both bodies to be embalmed and forwarded to Bourde tux, where they ar rived in the course of last wetk, and from whence they will be conveyed to Witham, in Essex, for interment, at which place the father of Mr. PATTESOW resides. rite unfortunate couple who thus met with a premature death bad been married only six weeks. Mr. PATTESON re ceived with his bride, whose maiden name was THOMAS, fortune of 25,0001., and a similar sum was settled on her husband by his father. Mrs. PATrasor; is said to have been a most amiable young lady, and her hus band was universally esteemed and .espected on tie lloirie Circuit, and indeed by all who bad the pleasure of his ac quaintance. IMPROVEMENT IN ATHENS.-CLEANTHES, a native-born Greek, from the foot of Mount Oiympue, after studying architecture for several years at Berlin, has returned to his native soil, in company with a young German architect, and taken up his abode at Athens, where both of them have found ainp!e employment in erecting dwellings and mansions for our enterprising fellow countrymen who have transferred their homes to this classic region. The young architects have built a hand some house in the European style, for their own accom modation, on the summit of the Acropolis, which cont. tnands a del.ghtful prospect of the ruins of ancient Athens and its attractive environs. On ibis spot they are busy collecting the perishing fragments of ancient sculpture, and are gradually rescuing ti.e columns, fr,tzes, and tner remains, which are found inlaid in buildings of later con struction, from their pre.ent hazardous and ignominious sites. They have already soccer. ed, without it.jury to the buildings themselves, in recovering a consider uum tier of these relics, which belong to the remotest pe sods ~f Grecian art.—Athenceum.
