During that year a person calling himself Charles Bedford, Esq., s'.oppcd at the hotel eight or nine nights, but not more than two tiglqg at a time. A number of letters were received for him, on which " Chels,a Hospital" was printed, and he took thrtse letters. Some letters wore also receivei by him, addressed to Mary Anne Bedford. Witness has no doubt titet tke prisoner is the persoa who represented himself to l)e Mr. Bedford. There was no female in his company at any tiree whi ehe was at the hotel. She afterwards saw the prisozcr at Duegenetis, where she had a letter to de. to " the Officers of the Coast-Guard Station," and al , eti she saw the prisoner acting in that situation, she Paid, 1 1 ln•g your pardon, am I not addressing Mr. Bed ford ?" To this the prisoner replied, " Dear me, what a singular thieg—l have been taken for Mr. Bedford before." When site first mentioned the name of Bedford, the F ei,,paee coloured like scarlet, and then be smiled, and said he had been taken for Mr. Bedford before, and added that he had once been taken for the Viear of Lidd. She a!terwards had some conversa t.ion ab , :ne. Margate, and the prisoner said ha had never stor , d there n-ore than two nights, and the bteel he stepped at was the Globe. Witness told him the did not know such an inn, and he then said it -wee the Ship where he stopped. The letter in crvestion wa:l merely a pretence, in consequence of some ret'ormat•ior that had been received, to enable her to see all tire 17'411 belonging to that station of the Coast Guard. Cass-e‘xemined—She saw the prisoner answer sonic of the letters. hot not all. About eight came altogetaer, but the printed letters were generally accompanied with a private letter. The prisoner took the answers himself to tee Post-iilice. Is pes!tive that the prisoner was the man wh , t represented himself to he Mr. Bedford.

Mr. Cu ADWICK JONES trusted the Court would not con scut to i►oatpone the trizt. The prisoner had already been maath• in gaol, and during that time the prosecutor land amp`,:• opportun►ty of getting up all the necessary cvi• acne:. Lord AnINGER 3aid he did not think he ought to consent to the applicatioo. 11r. i7LAnKsoN sated that he ghould offer no evidence i won thiu ind , etrnent, and the prisoner was consequently erwi'vcd. m r . .1,-,szs then addressed the Court, and said that 'Lieutenant Flynn had served in the Royal Navy thirty :o,-t2 years, and had been present at more than fifty en gsgereenls. He hoped that, under al the circumstances, .;;), extrt would order him to be discharged forthwith.

Mr, SON 1.3--This is the first time I have heard of it. Lord Ar:NOF.P. then said that be would make no order up(r) !ht.. ribjeciof the prionet's discharge. CROWN COURT—Mines 13. (Before Lord Abinger.)

Evidence was then prove the charges, when Lord Abinger summad up. and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Lord AIIINGER observed that he quite cencurrel in the vlrdkr., awl the Jury could not come to any other con , elusion than they had done. The prisoners were then gen retread t , , be transported for fourteen years. 'lnc prisoner Boreila, upon hearing his sentence, be_ catuu almost frantic, and it was with difficulty that he ecxild be appealed, and removed from the Court. ThVro was another charge of a similar kind against Q. , nentin, but no evidence was offered upon it. The pri. 'inners were young men of genteel appearance, and it was 3.tat:id that they are respectably connected upon the Cor _ vinent. It appears that frauds of this description have been carried on at Dover, by foreigners, to a very great extract. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION.JJO USE.

It was as follows : " My Lord—About a fortnight since I was called on by a sail respectable man, apparently about 60 years of age, who reA4uested the favour of my taking in any letters for biro thlt might come to my shop, addressed to Samuel Rutherford, stating at the same that he was engaged in the publication of a religious work, an d these lettors were con nected with !t, : and I, of course, assented. Many letters have 'f.ime through the post, which he regularly called or sznt for. It struck me as rather singular that they all bore the Belfast post mark. Yesterday I was called on by a gentleman, whose name and address I have, who stated to me that he wished to have an interview with the party to whom the letters were addressed. himon my informing him I that I had no knowledge of beyond his havin g requwj'ad me to receive them for h im, he asked nee if I knew the business in which the party was engaged. . - The LORD MAYOR —I know you perfectly well, Mr. Wit church, and I knew you when you were in very flourishing circumstances, as connected with the mails. It vas never in sinuated that you had the least knowledge of the transac tions to which the public attention hat ben called, but I have received daily letters from Scotland and Ireland, referring to the person whose letters have been addressed to your house, and who has been notoriously engaged in defrauding- poor people. Mr. Witchurch said that all coffee-houses and public houses were liable to similar visitors. The person, who it now appeared, ',VRX engaged in the scandalous tro.rsactions alluded to had been in the habit of calling at the house, and taking a pint of ale, and one day stated that, as be was going into the country, he would be obliged if a few letters addressed to him could be taken in. His request wes readily complied with, as the customer said the let ters would be post-paid, and a great many were received. SJrnetirnes a man, and sometimes a female called for them ; but he (Mr. Witchurch) had, the moment he heard that foul play was going forward, given directions that not one more letter should be taken in. The Leers M AVOR said he c:as convinced that Mr. Witehurch would do all in his power to punish arid detect the fellows engaged in plundering the poor people whose expectations were so woluily disappointed.

The business on the Civil side concluded on Wednesday night, and in consequence of the number of prisoners re inaieirg to he tried, Lord Abinger sat in the Law Court :iesterrle,s to essist in disposing of the business.

(Before Loan ABINGER.) ALLE3EII FRAUD UUPN T 5 COMMISSIONER! OF C HELSEA NO-IPITAL.—John Turner Flynn, aged 49, a Lieutenant the Royal Navy, was indicted for having forged and publia'ied a certain certificate, well knowing the same to be forged, with intent to obtain the payment of certain prize etoney, and to defraud the Lords Commissioners of the Royal Hospital, at Chelsea. The indictment, which was of very great length, also imputed other criminal intents to the defendant, and he was also charged generally, with obtaining a certain sum of riaoriey b; ialse and fraudulent pretences. Mr. Clarkson, with Mr. Bodkin, conducted the prose 7ution; Mr. Chadwick Jones defended the prisoner. The '3riZ eppear eel to excite a great deal of interest. Mr. Ceeracsos addressed the Jury, and said that he had the honour to appear on behalf of the prosecution, which wasinstituted by the Lords Commi s sioners of Chelsea Hosfetal against the defendant, f o r havingdeft auded that eetereisarre - : • , nt of a sum of money by meana of false pro t;eneee. Ine circumstances of the case, it would apneas, we'c, that a certain sum of money was due to a Captain Jahn Collins Overhead, who was on military duty at the cseptare of Pondicherry, as prize money for his share of the eaptere. His legal representative was a person earned . Mary Anne Bedford, and the alleged fraud con wsted in a person being brought forward to repres ent tnat ineisidual. The prisoner at the bar bad for many year; bean an officer in the Coast Blockade, and he was instructed on the part of the prosecutors to state that up to the period of this transaction, he bore an unblemished and hoiiourab!e character. They still, however, felt that under lot eireunaseances of the case they bad no alternative bat to i present the facts before a j ur y , for public nvesti geon. The witnesses would detail the nature of the fraud that had been practised, and one Flynn,f the witnesess would peeve that the prisoner, Lieutenant F had represented is resell as Mr. Bedford, the relative of the female in ques tion, tc whom the m oney was accordingly paid ever. He s'sc.ald pectluce the witnesses before the Jury, and he was afraid that they woul d find it their painful duty to return a verdict The Learned Coensel then called the folow'escs erenecses:— ILle.hard Bellamy, Esq., deposed that he was the eenio: eiesrk is the prize department at Chelsea liogpiLsri. A list is kept of prize-money due to offi eyre and oteeie. The money must be claimed within SiC scars aster it is paid into the Hospital, or becomes forfeited, and is applied to the fund far gerrarai purposes. In July 1335, the name of Captain Jelin Collins Overhead was on the books, and a sum of 4d. was due to him for prize mor.ey. The six per.' interest of the claim on this sum expired on the 3d March, NUS. A cariey of letters on the subject of the claim mule by pf:sori reprasenting herself as Mary Ann Bedford, the legal Teprocntative of the deceasei, were here put in and re',d. I informed him what I believed to be the case, that be was engaged in the publication of a religious work, and I concluded that, from the depot of " the Society for pro moting Christian Knowledge" being at my house, he bed wished his letters to be directed to it. I was, however, greatly surprised en my being informed by the gentleman that he called by request of a friend residing at Belfa.t, who bad written to him concerning an advertiserneht which had appeared similar to the one alluded to in the Mansion House report of yesterday, with the difference that the 60,0001. was to be lent to persons of Conservative principles residing at Belfast. No letters have been re ceived since yesterday morning, nor have I seen anything more of the parties. The report of what took place at the Mansion-House yesterday, which I have just seen in the Times, has convinced me that Andrew Jackson and Samuel Rutherford are the same, and I have thought it my duty to acquaint your Lordship with the facts, in the hope that by exposure some mischief may be prevented, as well as shopkeepers put on their guard how they allow parties to address letters to their houses. " I have the honour to remain, " Your Lordship's obedient servant, " JOSEPH BINSTED. " Bookseller, 20, Sidney-place, " March, 11, 18W. Commercial-road. " To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." The LORD MAYOR had scarcely read the letter, when Mr. Binsted, the writer of it, entered the Justice-room, and said that a letter which he produced had been just left by the postman at his house, addressed to Mr. Ru therford, and the post-mark on it Glasgow. As he sus pected that the contents would serve the ends of public justice, he had taken the liberty to open the letter, which was as follows, and contained an order on the Post-office for the sum of 11. 10s. : " Sir,—Owing to my leaving for Glasgow before yours of the 2d came to hand, it is delayed to the latest date. I hasten, on having it, to send from Glasgow, and remain your obedient servant, " JAS. " BALLYMAN. " Mr. Samuel Rutherford, 28, Sidney place, Com mercial-road East, London." Mr. Binsted stated that he had given directions, if Mr. Ruthe:ford should call for any more letters, that that gen tleman should be taken care of and introduced to the Lord Mayor. The LORD Mavoa said that the public were much indebted to Mr. Binsted for the course he had adopted, upon finding that the party was connected with the cele brated 60,000/. loan, and asked how many letters had been addressed to the house in the matter. Mr. Binsted replied that he supposed two or three dozen had been received at his shop. The LORD MAYOR said, that it it had not been for the press, the injury inflicted would have been most extensive. A great deal of mischief had certainly been done, but he trusted that it w 2.3 nearly at an end. He regretted that he had just received a letter from a poor woman, of Maxwell Town, by Dumfries, which, after giving the his tory of the Douglas Benevolent Loan, and the trustee, Mr. Alexander Fraser, stated as follows :—" My Lord, agreeably to their request, and not doubting the veracity of their as;ertion, I paid the 21. in at the post-office of the borough of Dumfries, and sent them notice, by means of a letter which was posted on the ,same day I received theirs, that they would receive the 2/..by calling at the Pest-effiee General, at their earliest (which nn doubt had been punctually attended to), and since that time I have been informed by a friend of mine that the said loan is a mere imposition, and hence the doings of worthless cha racters, in consequence of which I have taken the liberty of soliciting, your Lorthhip's protection in such a case as this, and likewise your Lordship's best advice how to re cover the two pounds which I remitted to them.' Mr. Whitchurch, of No. 64, Goswell-road, also waited upon I.e Lord Mayor. Alexander Fraser, the fictitious trustee of the fictitious " Douglas Benevolent Loan" having had letters addressed to his (Mr. Witchurch's) beer shop, as well as to other respectable places. He stated that he had been injured in his business by a report in the Times of Monday, February 24, in which a letter appeared calling his house a miserable nondescript house, between a coffee-shop and a beer-shop, and connecting it with an account of certain fraudulent transactions. Now his house, like many places of public resort, might be ad dressed to by persons with whom the proprietor had no sort of acquaintance. He knew nothing whatever of Mr. Frazer. BOW-STREET. Joseph Hall, a clerk in tae service of Mr. Coventry, the barrister, was yesterday brought up for final examina tion, charged with embezzling various sums of money re ceived by him for and oa account of his employer. The prosecutor said that it was the duty of the prisoner to hand over to Urn any moneys which he had received the moment they came into his possession, as terre were no accounts existing b.:tweet - , them, and he was in the habit of doing so for the last ttrolve months. Mr. Tenfold, 6, llarpur-strcet, Red Lion-square, soli citor, preyed that on Om 16th of August, 1838, the priso ner, whom he knew to be the cirri: of the prosecu•er, called on him for the paymenr of a bill, and he gave him a check for 13/. 1.95. on Messrs. Dixon, Brooks, and Co., bankers, payablz at sight, which he subsequently under stood was paid. The memorandum produced was signed as a receipt for the money at the time. On Tuesday hst some person called at witness's house, and poid the sum in question on Leh of of the prisoner. Mr. Coventry said th•:t such bad been the ease in al most every instance in which he had to bring a charge against the pri6ener. Mr. John Chadwick, SS, Lincoln's-inn-fields, proved that on the 13th of November, 183 S. he paid the sum of 91. I9s. in cash to the prisoner, as counsel's fees, which were due to the prosecutor, for which he gave the receipt produoad, with his signature. Witness added, that a per son called yesterday morning, and left the sum in question at his house. Mr. Thomas Kirkland, clerk to Mr. WaCe, Frederick place, Old Jewry, solicitor, proved that, on the 12th of June, 1339. he paid 26/. 9s. In cash, for which he *tot a receipt. The money was paid at the chambers of the prosecutor, and witness understood that the sum of 40/ and upwards, which related to another account, had been left with his employer on the part of thi prisoner. Mr. Coventry said that the prisoner had been in his sm.- vice for about ten years, and ho never had reason to r us poet his integrity during that time. Mr. Hall said it would be desirable to have three die tinct charges of embezzlement, which had been committed within the last six months, as the cases brought forward had gone beyond th;t time. _ _ Mr. Coventry doubted if lie could do so, having Fcarcely bad time to put himself in possession of the dates when each sum had been received. Mr. Hall considered the charges of the greatest ma?.,mi tude; and although persons, in their anxiety to serve the prisoner, had sent back seven' sums which hat 13-...cn re ceived by him, it could not purge him of the offence. Mr. Coventry said that several of his clients lived in the country, and if time ma 3 allowed him he might be able to bring forward cases La which money on account had been received withia the last six months; but if the charge could be disposed of in a summary manner he would have no objection. Mr. HALL—The cases are of too much importance, and they must go before a Jury. Mr. Coventry said that since the prisoner had been given in charge, he hal found in his (prisoner's) desk several letters, which should have been forwarded t') his clients, applying for amounts of money due to him—none of which he had received. The prisoner declined making any defence, and he was ordered to stand committed on each charge, but to be brought up again on Saturday next. John Bul!cock, a clerk, was also brought up in the cus tody of a constable from Ashford, in Kent, where he was apprehended, charged with embezzling various sums of money, the property of Messrs. Lane, Rhodes, and Beevor, 63, Chancery-lane, solicitors, for whom he was employed to collect rent from several persons in the west end of town. Mr. George Samuel Archer, 31, Duke-street, St. Jarn: , ,'S, surgeon, stated that on t.)e 29th of January be paid the prisoner on account for his employer the sum of 491. 10-. 23., for which he gave the receipt produced. Mr. Lane proved that the prisoner had been in his service about three weeks, at a salary of 15s. a week Witness and partner were agents to Mr. Atkinson, and the money in question was duo to that gentleman for a ho use occu p ied question, b c y ou th nt e e l r t for which the prisoner had not ac - he b e i n g sen t to collect the rent on the day in did not 'return, and witness never saw hi m agai n unt il he was in changed with Theewpars again charisoner made no defence, and he was fully com mitted for tri a l; of 211. 1-1 6s. belon binagketro the prosecutor.ithfurther Nteldthat embezzling the sum Mr. Kir he kbY r ' en ag ts his 'residing a t 45, C raw f or d -street, stated brother-in-law to th e pro house e under th e R ev. M r . B arne tt, Mr. 1 - 14t.t. asked the prosecuto r cutor. if he was authorized to receive the rent of the house in questi on . Mr. Lane replied th a t he was, and h e h a d paid over to his brother-in-law the sum i n as if he h a d rece i ve d h from ciu spe e cl ma al instructio ns to ta k e i t up, as m winhl adao h tdireetio n on other business of he the w prisoner, a s asimilar the sum of 21/. 63. on th e 29 t h of January, t e is nature. paid ‘vn being a quarter's rent, for which the prisoner gave him the receipt produced. Mr. HALL inquired in whale name the money had been received. Mr. Lane proved that the receipt was signed as if coming from him, and he had directed another clerk to send the prisoner to collect the rent. Mr. HALL, after giving directions that the other clerk should attend at the Sessions, to give evidence, ordered the prisoner to be fully committed for trial. Frederick Town Fowler, described on the police she e t as a printer, was charged on suspicion with attempting to set fire to the Editor's box of the Morning Chronicle, in the Strand. A Solicitor attended for the accused. Henry Vernon, a clerk in the service of Mr. Po. (lot, the publisher, of Tavistock-street, Covent•garden, was charged with embezzling several Sums of money, the property of his employer. Mr. Humphries appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutor proved that the prisoner had been in his s:rvice for the last five years, at a salary of 333. a week, and his busness was to account to him for all monies re ceived. The several sums mentioned in the receipts pro. duced were never so accounted for, nor were they ever en tered on the books as having been received. The several witnesses tt ho had paid sums to the pri soner on account for the prosecutor, produced the receipts ,hick he had passed to them, and the facts being proved in four distinct charges, he was fully committed for trial. Mr. Humphries said that when the prisoner was made acquainted with the fact that a wi.rrant had bean granted tur his opprehension, he went to the house of the plose cutor and surrendered himself.. PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. CORRESPONDENCE RELATING TO CHINA. The bulky volume of correspondence relating to China, lately laid before Parliament, commences with Jan. 1834, and ends Sept. 2:3, 1839. The beginning of the present great. opium dispute may be dated from Decsember 1838. A despatch of Captain Elliot to Lord Palmerston, numbered 133, and dated the Bth of that month, recites the particulars of a seizure of opium on the 3d, and the " remarkable increase of activity" displayed against the trade by the Go vernor of Canton, who" has lately incurred the severe displeasure of the Court, en the ground of a lax execu- Con of the ot dors concerning the more effectual pleven lion of the traffic in opium." No 134, from Captain I.,fflot, dated December 13, 1838, reports the distur ipnces caused by the attempt to strangle a criminal necused of selling opium in front of the foreign fac tories. On April 15, 1830, No. 135, Lord - . ) .ilinerstor, requests to know whether the foreigners who " resisted Iles intention of the Chinese authorities to put a criminal to death," as stated, were "British subjects " only, er other foreigner; also, and upon" what . alleged ground 1 of right they considered themselves cnt'tled to inter fere." Is No. 138, dated Jan. 2, 1839. Captain Elliot urges the necessity that he should be " forthwith vestcl with defined and adequate powers fer the reasonable con trol of men whose rash conduct cannot be left to the opera tion of Chinese laws" without much inconvenience and risk ; that he should be " known to stand without blame in the estimation of her Majesty'sGavernment ;" and " whet her I litre a claim to such an expression of support as I mar be permitted to publish to the Queen's subjects in this empire." In No. 140, dated Jan. 21, he states that there was no " relaxation of the vigour of the Goverii went" against the introduction of opium. No. 141, Jan. 30, states that he had received information of the romi nation and " expected arrival of a very high offleer from Court, to bold equal rank with the Governor," in order to follow up the " measures lately deter mined upon at Pekin for the suppression of the opium trade." No. 142, dated June 13, 1539, from Lord Palmerston, acknowledges receipt of Captain Elliot's despatches to 31st Dec., 1838, and 30th Jan. 1839, and with reference to the interruption of trade, and steps taken and detailed for its re-establishment, he signifies to Captain Elliot the "entire approbation of her Majesty's Government of your conduct is these metiers." No 14:3, dated Feb. 8, contains the Go vernor of Canton's proclamation to foreigners against trading in opium. No. 145. dated March 22, covers Commissioner Lin's vroclatnaeion to the same, and another 0 the Hong-merchants. No. 146, with inclosures dated Mareh 30, details Captain Elliot's proceedings on oc casion of the demand that Mr. Dent should appear be fore the tribunal of the High Comm'ssioner, his own ar rival at Canton, his correspondence and remonstrances with the Chinese authorities relative to the public exe cution of a criminal before the factories, and finally, his own forcible imprisonment with that of all the mer chants, which led to the surrender of the opium, with all the particulars of which the public have long been familiar. No. 148, dated from April 6 to May 4, re peats Cae.tain Elliot's conviction that "trade with China at any point rerAote from the station of our ships is no longer a possible state of circumstances;" and his recommendation for " immediate and vigorous mea sure.," on the part of her Majesty's Government, as the only means for assuring that " immense extension of ou r peaceful trade and intercourse with this empire," which he believes to be practicable and certain. A copy of the " prepared voluntary bond " is enclosed, which he and the deputy-superintendent, at the head of all the merchants, had been required to sign, by which, under penalty of confiscation of property, and death, they were to bind themselves to cease front dealing in opium, with the correspondence betwixt himself and the Commissioner, in which substantially he states, thet " according to the laws of his country" he could not agree to sign it. No. 148, with enclosures, states, the virtual liberation of Captain Elliot, and all confined, with the exception of sixteen individuals ; and his in junction to " all her Majesty's subjects to make preparations for quitting Canton before or at the same time with her Majesty's establish ment." In No. 149, with enclosures, Captain Elliot presses upon Lord Palmerston's attention the "strong necessity of concluding some immediate arrangement" with Portugal, " either for the cession of the Portuguese rights at Macao, or for the effectual defence of the place, and its appropriation to British uses by means of a subsidiary convention." In a d:s patch enclosed to the Portuguese Governor of Macao, the superintendent " throws himself" and all British subjects, ships, and property under his protection, in consequence of the violent proceedings of the Chinese. In order to compensate the " heavy expense," and all the "other embarrassments" of such a duty, he offers the Governor, " on behalf of the British Government, immediate facilities on the British Treasury to any ex- ' cannot avail himself' tent that m a y b e d e sired, in order to place Macao in a prope r state o f d e f ence ." Th e G overnor re plies, that he o nd fo r ships of the generous offer, as his parti cular s it uat i on necessarily restr i cts h i m to t h e ma i nte - nance of an " austere neutra li ty. " N o . 149, w ith en closures,a pasdoefsp war,atc h o f No.Captainl.) o r e l a E t e l Elliot o to t theto e Lord xpu i s A i o u n c Auck land la certain British merchants from Canton by the Commis sioner, with a prohibition of return. No. 151 is a represen tation of th e British merchants at Canton, addressed to Lord Palmerston, which is a mere recapitulation of The Colonial Secretary, in these instructions, directs the new Board, as Colonization Commissioners for South Australia, to follow the directions of the Acts of Parliament, and the instructions addressed to their predecessors. In their capacity of a General Board far the sale of lands and for promoting emi gration, their duty has to be arranged under the follow ing heads :—first, the diffusion ant collection of accu rate statistical knowledge ; secondly, the sale in this country of waste lands in the Colonies ; thirdly, the application of the proceeds of such sales towards the removal of emigrants ; and fourthly, the rendering of leriodical accounts, both pecuniary and statistical. It thus appears that the waste lands of South Australia are to be administered as heretofore, and that the appli cation of all monies arising from the sale of lamb, " to wards the removal of emigrants," is guaranteed. Lord J. Russell states that the Crown waste lands must hereafter be appropriated to public uses and fur public benefit. Of these uses the first in order are ytch as respect the future improvement of the colony, by the dedication of all convenient tracts to public works. The next important use 1: the creation of a public revenue by their sale. The appropriation ~ f a part of that revenue to the ordinary exigen cies of the public service will, the Colonial Minister thiaks, probably be found inevitable in every colony. The funds raised by these sales will, however, be ap plicable to the conveyance of emigrants to the colony whence they are derived, " so far, hut only so far, it, that use of the fund may be compatible with a due re ::ard for the pressing and necessary demands of the local governments, for which no other source can be found." His Lordship, however, will be happy to find the colonies providing for such purposes of local go Vernments by import duties, and other means, and thee ;cave the produce of :he sale of lands free for the pro- motion of ernig;-ation from the United Kingdom._ . The instructions tlitn go on to show that the ',Corti. American, West Indian, and African Colonies : cannot, expected to contribute gri-atly to an emigra gration fund, and that, therefore, the Australian Colonies (Van Diemen's Land excepted, Neu. Zealand included) will be the principal field lot the operations of the Commissioners. After pointiiv out the essential distinction between the system observe(' r;garding the sale of lands in South Australia (at on, uniform price per acre) and in the other British pos sessions in New Holland (sales by auction at an upset price of 12s. per acre,) Lord J. Russell states, that m any perfectly new field of colonization he should prefel the South Austr than principle, and that it may he cot:- veniently adopted in settlements hereafter to be formed. but that to extend it to those colonies where the methoe of selling by auction has for many years prevailed. " would be a change of t reat apparent difficulty." His Lordship, notwithstanding, believes that somi. change " in our present coulee" is necessary, and dele eltes inquiry of the subject to the Commissioners. The instruction; contain such directions as to applyin l4 the Emigration Fund. MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTAINCE. ph which tG r oa Inp r a e ps ale g : aorw r e. s w m ,dw in ui ei Tournament,o ,3Nki perhaps, recollect a on at papers athe t e a r r a le o l oft tilting ground, had his pocket picked of a pocket-book. containing 71 in 1/. notes, and two hills, the one for 2-12/. 175., and the other hr 1t231. lc., drawn by a gentleman in Dublin, and accepted by a respectably tiouse in Glasgow. Immediately atter the discovery of his loss, the gentleman, of course, had payment of the bills stopped, and gave information at the Glas gow Police Office, from whence notice was sent to the various banks, and to all the principal town' , n the empire. Nothing, however, was heard of the property till last Saturday, when a letter was received in town from a writer to the signet in Edinburgh, making inquiries after the parties named in the bills. The circumstance was communicated to Captain Miller, who immediately suspected that possibly some of the ' English thieves, who, at the time of the tournament, paid us a visit, might be still lingering in the country, and th a they might have been detected in Edinburgh, as having ado with the theft of the bills. Mr. Miller, under this belief, went to Edinburgh on Saturday, for the I trpose of instituting an inquiry, when the fol lowing circumstances were brought out :—ln the month of July last the writer to the signet hired a carriage from a respectable c]achbuilder in Edinburgh, and retained the vehicle on hire u p to th e end' o October, having, at the period of the tournament, which, it will be recollected, took place in August, visited that exhibition in this very carriage. In October the carriage was returned to the coach builder, and stood i n his premises till Thursday week, without being used or even taken out. On that dad', while a strapper was cleaning the carriage, he found in one of the p oc k ets a pocket-book, con tainin g two bills, which have since turned out to be the identical pocket book and bills, above referred to, taken from the gentle man in Eglinton Park. The strapper gave i the pro perty to his emp l oyer , who again handed t over to the legal ge n tl eman a l rea dy referred to, believing it to be his. seeing that no other person had used the carriage for several months. The latter instantly wrote to Glasg o w, as a l rea dy no ticed, making inquiries after the parties na me d in the bills, which led to the development of the facts above stated. It is believed by the police both of Edinburgh and Glasgow that the pocket-book and its contents must hav e lain in the pocket of the carriage from the time of the tournament till Thursday week, and the question naturally arises, how did it get there? The most probable solution of the difficulty is that the theft w as p er p etrated by an English thief, who appropriate d the 71., and, finding that the bills were not indorse d, bethought himself of the best mode of getting quit of them, and at the same time of having them restored to the owner, a course not usual with the members of the " swell mob" in London. Having adopted this determinati o n, it would be easy to drop the book into the pocket of some adjoining carriage. All this, however, is mereconjee ture, and probably the history of the stolen bills will ever remain a mystery.—G/asgow Courier. H A REWOOD HALL —The venerable Lord Harewood, since his domestic bereavement, hasheen surrounded by a family circle, including the Hon G. H. and Lady Louisa Cavendish. His Lordship will proceed to town at Easter. Lord and Lady Postman have left for their seat in Dorsetshire The following places have been doly registered for solemniz ing marriages therein, pursuant to the Act of the 6th and 7th William IV., chap. 85 : The Wesleyan Methodist Association Chapel, Cornwall. The Baptist Chapel, Meopham, Kent. Hawley-square Chapel, Margate. John Coleman, porter in the establishment, stated that, for several nights within the last fortnight, he had found lucifer matches in the Editor's-box, in conscluence of which he received directions to watch it, and give information of the circumstance to the police. About one o'clock on the previous in g, having had occasion to call at the Morning Post (Slice, he saw the prisoner, who was in company with two others, throw the ashes from his cigar into the box, and, seeing a policeman on the opposite side of the street, he gave him in charge on cuspid: n. When the prisoner was in the custody of the policeman in the passage, his com panions attempted to force their way in, and witness wa charged with assaulting one of them. He had no suspicion that the prisoner had been guilty of poking anything into the box on other occasions. Mr. HALL wished to know who the prisonc was. The Solicitor replied that he was the publisher of the Theatrical Chronicle. Witness,the prisoner, and his companions stopped at the corner opposite to the door, and, as the prisoner was pas s;ng, he shook the ashes into the box ; and after receiving some abusive language from them, the sub-editor directed th it the charge ;hould be preferred against him. Mr. HALL—Were they sober? Witness—They appeared to have been drinking, but they knew what they were about. Mr. HALL—From the evidence, it can scarcely be con sidered an attempt to commit arson. In answer to the Solicitor, the witness denied that he said to the prisoner and his companions, " I suppose you are acme from the Times office?" and, in addition to the ashes, there was a lucifer match found in the box. Mr. HALL said that it was certainly a very indiscreet act, but there was no reason to conclude that he had at tempted to commit the offence with which he stood charged, although there were some grounds for giving him into the custody of the officer, and, under all the circumstances of the case, he might be discharged. Charles Fowler, brother to the person who had just been discharged, appeared to prefer a complaint against the prosecutor in the last case for assaulting him. The'complainant stated that he was part proprietor of the Theatrical Chronicle, and, at the time in question, when his brother was given in charge, he attempted to enter the passage, and the defendant struck him violently in the mouth without any provoc,ttion. The policeman was present at the time. Henry George Brooks corroborated the witness's tes timony. Constable 78 F proved that when he took Fowler into custody he expressed a wish that his friends should come into the Morning Chronicle office with him, but the de fendant would not allow it, and on their attempting to force their way, he struck the complainant on the mouth, and knocked him down. _ In answer to the charge the defendant said that the com plainant had trodden upon his instep, and considering that it vas done to provoke him he knocked him down. The compllinaut admitted that he might have done so, but he had no intention of offering any offence. Mr. HALL ordered the defendant to pay a fine of 31., and in default be committed for three months. The defendant immediately paid the fine and was dis charged. John Turner Flynn, an officer on half-pay, belonging to the Coast Guard service, was yesterday brought before Mr. TVYFORD, charged with having uttered and altered a certain certificate for prize-money, due to Richard Hen lqy, with intent to defraud him of the amount thereof. Inspector Collins, R division, stated, that on the pre vious day the prisoner had been tried at Maidstone on two separate indictments for a similar offence, but was acquitted in consequence of the proof as to his identity having facd. From information witness had received from Mr. Bicknell, solicitor to the Commissioners of Chelsea Col lege, he obtained a warrant, upon which he apprehended him on the present char;ze. Mr. TAVI FORD ordered him to be remanded until this day-. Mr. Bicknell, a short time after, came into Court and applied to have the prisoner further remanded for a :on night, on the grounds that several witne:ses should be sent for o France to give evidence against him, and others should also be brought from distant parts of Scotland for the sarn, purpose. Mr. TWYFORD said he could have no objection, and the prisoner %%Is ordered to be brought up again on the 27th instint. grievances. No. 152, with inclosures, is Captsin El lint's observations upon the breach of promise com plained of by Mr. Innes. one of those expelled, who is . stated to have misunderstood the purport of an agree ment with the Hong. No. 153, with enclosures, contains the general receipt of the Chinese autho rities for the 20,283 chests of opium delivered up, with the forms of receipts of the deputy-superinten dent and himself to the holders of the different parcels surrendered for account of the Government on his requisition No. 151. with enelesures, relates to the fracas betwixt some British and other Foreign seamen on shore at Hong Kong and the Chinese, in which one of the latter lost his life. No. 155, with enclosures, after statement before of the steps he took to bring the riote:s and murderer to trial and justice, and the compensation in money to the Chinese suf ferers by the affray, proceeds to state the violent measures had recourse to by Commissioner Lin, who would be content with no less than the " delivery of a man" and the " entrance within the river of all the British shipping." No. 156 mentions the arrival of her Majesty's ship Volage, on which Captain Elliot reite rates his application to the Portuguese Governor of Macao for protection, as the place might then be rnade tenable ; with the Governor's reply, admitting his inability to afford it. No. 157, dated Sept. 5, is Captain Elliot's account of the a'tack on three Chinese war junks at Kow June, which interfered to cut off and pre vent supplies of fresh provisions from being obtained on shore. He confesses that he was " responsible for causing, the first shot to he fired," which he imputes to those " feelings of irritation naturally excited by the violent and vexatious measures heaped upon her Majesty's officers and subjects." The enclosures contain his remonstrances to the High Commissioner against cutting off and threatening the people with pu nishment who should turnish supplies of provisions and water. No. 159, dated Sept. 23, is a narrative of the circumstances which led to the declaration of the blockade of Canton. It contains enclosures, among which is a proclamation of Commissioner Lin, calling on the people to arm and resist the English i n an y attempts to land, and the public notice of Captain Smith withdrawing the blockade. With this concludes the volume. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slll,-I have just seen a letter in your paper of yester day, reflecting on the conduct of the Magistrates in this borough, in a case of trespass. In reply, I must beg to state no such case has ever been brought before our bench, and therefore believe your Correspondent must have sent you wrong information. Would it hot be better to give the names of the committing Magistrates, in order to set the question at rest ? At all events, be pleased to contra. di ;t the statement, as having any reference to our Bench. Your obedient servant, A CONSTANT READER, and " One of the Borough Megistrates." Kidderminster, 12th March. [The names of the committing Magistrates, together with those of the parties imprisoned, were sent to us with the letter from Birmingham. On seeing this, we trust our Birmingham Correspondent will communicate with the Magistrates of Kidderminster, and state to them the par ticulars of the case. It not we shall take the first oppor tunity of doing so, on his authority.] THE INSTRUCTIONS to the LAND AND EMIGRATION COMMISSIONERS. The instructions of Lord Jahn Russell to the Colo nial Land and Emigration Board, which have been waited for with so much anxiety by all interested in co lonization, have at. last been published. To the ad mirers of Mr. Wakefield's principles of colonization, and of the reecommendations of Mr. Ward's Committee of IB3G, they have not given the satisfaction they anticipa ted from his Lordship's letter to the now defunct .ouch Australian Board.

EAST INDlA.—Bengal rather above former rates; goo( middling and good fetched 66s 6d to 635, a few lots fine lag, bright grain and strong 71s, good damps sold at 64s to 66s brown kinds continue to attract attention, and have commanders former rates ; at auction. 50 hhds very ordinary damp sold at 545, Manilla at rather higher prices, say 6d per cwt. Java full former rates offered, and in some cases rather above, bu: there are still few parcels tobe met with. FOREIGN.—YeIIow Havannah is rather higher; good mid dling at Ms, white at full rates ; Brazil at previous rates, 21s b 21, 6d have been paid for 60 chests fair hi own. This afternoon 50 chests 5 boxes 45 barrels Brazil were offered at public sale, and all taken in rather above their value, viz. low white at 23s per cwt. COFFEE.— The West India market continues very quiet the trade purchasing barely sufficient to supply their imme diate wants:, and the business transacted by private contract has been on a small scale ; but previous rates have been sup ported for clean sorts, the supply being small, and some parties are not disposed to sell at present rates in consequence of tilt rise in Tea ; for unclean kinds previous rates have been ob tained ; middling and good yellow Mocha at 130 s to 150 s. This afternoon there was little passing by private contract, but prices remain firm : at public sale 4,771 bags Padang, and 124 casks Jamaica were offered ; the former was taken in at 70s, there being no buyers; the latter sold cheaper, viz. 110: to I 27s for low middling and fine middling Jamaica, and fine ordinary 962. The sudden re-action in the Tea market has produced an increased dulness in the Coffee market. TEA.—The accounts from India caused the demand for Free Trade Tea to be very animated late on Wednesday and yesterday, and prices advanced 2d to 3d per lb. For common Congou for cash large parcels were disposed of 2s 8d to 2s and Twankay at 2s 9d. The transactions in Company's Congou were extensive, at the advanced rates of 2s Ild to 3s. for cash, aed 3s Id to 3s Qd with prompts. To-day the market assumed altogether quite a different appearance : there were very few buyers of free trade Tea, and holders were more inclined to sell, but in the present state of the market it is impossible to quote prices accurately : the chief merchants refusing to sell at lower prices, and the trade, on the other hand, not being inclined to pay former rates : the sudden cessation in the demand is to be attributed to the accounts received by the overland mail being of a contradictory and conflicting nature. The demand for Company's Congou has much abated, and prices have fallen considerably : for cash sales have been made at 2s 6d to 2s 61d, and with prompts at 2s 7id to 2s ficl per lb. Some of the private letters from Canton state that a good many vessels were loading for England with Tea, and that some were actually on their passage, and the Supply for the ensuing season would be 13,000,000 lbs. : but in the accounts published in the newspapers, no mention is made of ships loading, and in the present state of things little reliance can be placed upon any of the reports afloat, there being several parties in the market who are attempting to force prices down, and at present it is impossible to speak positively as to the real state of affairs This afternoon there was more inclination shown to buy Company's Congou, and prices are rather firmer, sales for cash made at 2s 7cl per lb ; for prompts very few buyers. The market for Free Trade is very dull, and prices cannot yet be quoted accurately. This afternoon at a late hour the market has partly recovered from the panic which prevailed in the early part of the day, an in Company's Congou there was a good deal doing at 2s 7id a 2s 8d for cash. Free Trade sell more freely, and the nearest price for ordinary Congou for money is 2s 6d, and Common Twankay 2s 7d per lb; at these low rates, however, many of the merchants will not sell ; the market closed with a much firmer appearance. Many parties believe that the accounts from China are of a very serious nature, that those published in the Newspapers to-day are substantially correct, and that prices ere long will much improve. The monthly sales commence on Monday. We have just ascertained that three ships have sailed from Hong Kong, for London; the names are J. Horton, Pekoe, and Alexander Baring, also the John O'Gaunt for Liverpool, and one vessel for Bristol ; but what quantity of Tea they have on board we have not been able to learn. Stock of Tea in London, Ist March, 1810, including the last arrivals from Canton :—East India Company's, 2,932,3C6 ; Free Trade, 35,868,746 ; Assam Tea, 86.—Total, 38,801, 138 packages. RlCE.—This afternoon 130 bags Bengal sell at 14s to 14s 61 for good white, which is rather higher; 834 bags Siam went at 9s to lOs for low white. SPlcEs.—Black Pepper is held ter previous rates, and many parties are not disposed to sell on those terms. White has VESSELS SPOKEN WITH. Wm.

MISS STRICKLAND'S " LIVES OF TKO QUEENS OF ENGLAND,'' DEDICATED, BY PERMISSION, 'To HEIL AIAJESTY.—The second volume of this important and at tractive work, which has just appeared, fully equals in intere st the first volume, and justifies the encomiums which were 5 ?, generally passed upon it by the critical press. The " Lives comprised in this second volume are those of Berengaria or Navarre, Queen of Richard I.—lsabella of Angouleme, Quee n King John—Eleanora of Provence, surnamed La Belle, Queen of Henry ll.—Eleanor of Castile, surnamed the Faith ful, first Queen of Edward I.—Marguerite of France, second Queen of Edward I.—lsabella of France, surnamed the Fair , Quccn of Edward IL—Philippa of Hainault, Queen of Ed' ward 111. —and Anne of Bohemia, surnamed the Good. firs; Queen of Richard 11. These memoirs furnish most faithlos historical pictures of the Courts of our ancient Monarchs, ona, ,f the manners, customs, and co n diti on o f our f ore f a thers ; and while they bear the strongest impress of historical truth, the many remarkable events in the lives of the Queens impart to them the charm of the most romantic fiction. A more delight ful present-book for youth of both sexes th an Mi ss Stricklands " Lives of the Queens" cannot be c once i ve d, blending, as it does, so much valuable instruction with more amusing matter than any work of an historical kind with which we are tic' quainted. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—About eight o ' cloc k on Wednesday morning, a man named John Chitterden , ;, painter, residing in Broad -court, Long-acre, attempted self destruction by throwing himself from the second arch of they lower Middlesex side of Waterloo-bridge. His fall having been= observed by a country bargeman on the coal craft, he instantly put off in a skiff, and, after great difficulty, succeeded in coming up with the unfortunate man, who was on the point of sinking* He was taken on shore, and having been restored ia sow" de gree to a state of sensibility, was conveyed to the, workhouse. He is reported to have been insane, and to have twice before attempted self-destruction by cutting his throat.
