E SIG E 1. ( ) N. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JoUR:s ALA FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) In the hope of obtaining a refo: ni, or retire abolition. of the system of exacting enormous costs from pen persons convicted of trifling offences l.efore magistrate i in petty sessions, we have from time to time extracted some of the cases from the provincial journals, as at, illustration of the injury which the present system works both to the individual sufferers and to the law itself, which is brought into general disrepute by the imprisonment of the persons, or the distraint of their goods, to satisfy— not the sentence of the law, which is frequently light in amount, but the fees of the Court, which are often ten, twenty, fifty times greater than the penalty inflicted It is unnecessary for us to continue to furnish indi vidual instances. The practice is universal —it per vades every county in Enelind. and in Scotland, too. The remedy required is obvious. The system of paying the magistrates' clerks by fees must be abo lished ; and a salary proportioned to the duty be sub stituted. Until this long-called-for change be effected we shall see petty charges preferred for the purpose of bringing grist to the mill of the functionary, the emo luments of whose office are made to depend oa fostering a litigious spirit among the poor people of the district, and whose agents, in the persons of the parish con stables, also share in the spoil in the shape of charges for serving summons, executing warrants, attending hearing, and—if the poor offender cannot pay the ac cumulated expenses—conveying him to the gaol. The whole of this machinery of mischief, derogatory from the dignity, and opposed to the purity, which should characterise the administration of the laws in every Court of Justice, must be swept away ; and the punish ment awarded by the Magistrates, after a due consi deration of all circumstances, as a just visitation upon the offender, be expressed in terms clear and intelligible ; and not, as now, in the ambiguous, undignified, and ir ritating form of a fine of " sixpence," or a " shilling ;" and costs of twenty shillings, or more, as the clerk has managed to swell the amount by the mode of prosecut ing the information. (From the Standard.) As the fortification of Paris is likely to be the only ostensible result of the late diplomatic broil excited by M. Thiers (less obvious results are known at the Bourse), it may be worth the while to consider the tendency of the conversion of the metropolis of France into a fortress and a gaol a little at large. .s we happen, fortunately, to be Englishmen, we can • look at the matter more calmly than Frenchmen ought to look at it ; questionless in a more sedate temper than any man of English feeling would con template a project for surrounding London with forts and garrisons, and likening the Londoners in condition to the well-ordered inmates of the great buildings at Milbank and- Coldbath-fields. „First, when we talk of the fortification of a city, containing 800,000 inhabitants, and—though Paris is closely built—extending in a circuit of nine miles, what do we mean? A simple wall ? Why, Paris has that already—a belt of ordinary Works, such as that which circles Amsterdam and most other continental cities ; mere rampart and ditch, with bastions at short inter vals. Why, the fate of Amsterdam, perk ‘ps the strergest city of the kind, and the fate of nearly every of e: city thus fortified, proves that such fortifica tions are perfectly useless in the modern system ',of war.

(From the Courier.) The Chronicle returns to-day to the subject of Re ieu! agitation, in an article evidencing more sobriety of tone and manner, though no less obliquity of vision, than those that have previously appeared in its columns on the same subject. Not but that the object of the writer is equally clear, namely, the exculpation of Ministers, whether he handles the topic of Repeal in the spirit of fierce partisanship, as he last week did, or treats of it with an apparent effort at impartiality, as he now does. '('he task undertaken by our Contemporary is indeed a difficult one, being nothing less than a justification cf the apathy, indifference, and connivance exhibited by the Whig Cabinet towards the " seditious and trea son:ble movement" that is daily gaining ground and gathering fresh strength in Ireland. But how, can our readers guess, does the writer in the Chronicle attempt to palliate, if not justify, such an n'iiandocineot of duty ? Is it by pointing to what Ministers have clone—to the steps they have taken—or th:_e swqns they have resorted to. for the purpose of re st the formidable movement, or even of meni feting their sense of the impropriety (to use no stronger oe more appropriate term) of the conduct of those en ge,c d in a pro;,..et so full of mischief and peril ? of the kind. 111inisers have abstairied with more i caxion than prud e n ce f rom any inter/ere:we' with the ,peal iegitatioLi—tot a murmur of d.sapproha!ion re ga,tinig it has escaped them, and even their organs tone): upon it with that lightness nanl reserve, denoting to tiwzn its sacred n:t4ure. Oar Contemporary, with aff:etat;on of si:np:icity asks " what steps have. they (the Ministers) failed to adopt in order to di;.eounte tenanco an agitation, the existence of which (the same aun'enrity assures us) they sineerely deplore ?" Now here we have an interrogatory artfully framed and put, involving a pre-supposition that some steps had already 11 -' l.ll taken by M.iiiisters in order to discountenance Re p,,al agitation, 'be very reverse _being notoriously the fact; nay Ministerial Evening organ, a few da)s NlO. claimed. credit for them on the grounds of having nwintaiee I " dignified abstinence" from interference with tau sayings and doings of repeal agitators. ra ries v.) ort:f A pen..sion of 971., granted by the Duke of during his Gra,y's administration, to Lady Duro- Cochraue, daughter of the late Etri of Dundonald, eiot sis er bs halt blood t p the present Pe , :r, has reverted by the death of that y;Anig lady.

On Saturday a trial took place, in the London Docks, to test the respective powers of the large floating fire-engine belonging to that Company, and the floating engine thual:y stationed near Southwark-bridge. The engine belonging to the Company is worked with a fly hei.l by forty-eight men, whilst the other is worked in the usual manner by ninety men. The former engine will throw about three tuns of water per minute, and was worked with great effect, carrying a powerful stream of Water completely over the warehouses, which are nearly seventy feet in height; whilst that of the Southwark sta:lon scarcely reached to the top, and threw only two tuna of water per minute. A great number of the Direc tors of the Company and scientific p e rs on s, with M r . Braidwo,d (the Superintendent of the London Fire Estab lishment), were present. The b r i ga d e men , o f w h om there was a full muster, were dressed in uniform, arid the trial was complet e l y satisfactory.

(Before Mr. WARRINGTON ard other Justices.) THE LATE INVASION OF FRANCE BY FRINCE LOUIS BONAFARTE.—A Frenchman of military appear ance, named Jean Baptiste de Bouriot, was brought be fore the Court by Mr. Collier, the inspector o the P division of police, charged under the followin circim stances :•—• Mr. Collier stated that he received information that s Frenchman bad been inquiring in various directions .ibout the town of Croydon for the residence of Prince Louis Bonaparte, and that he had represented himself as having escaped from a French prison, in which he had been placed for taking part in the late invasion of France by Prince Louis. He also received information that he had exhibited letters, and had applied for pecuniary as sistance from several parties, and in consequence of what he he a rd h e ma d e searc h after the person in ques tion, and he met the prisoner in the High -street, and upon questioning him he told him that he had just got a letter for Prince Lucien Bonaparte, who, he was in formed, resided in the neighbourhood of Croydon, and asked if he could tell him his address. In the course of the conversation having ascertained that the prisoner had no settled residence or means of subsistence, he thought it his duty to take him into custody, and also to take charge of his papers and place them in the hands of the Magistrates. The Inspector then handed the papers for the peru sal of the Bench. The first was a copy of a minute issued by the Juge d'lnstruction of the Tribunal of First Instance (or pre liminary inquiry), of Boulogne, authorizing the keeper of the prison called the Chateau de Boulogne to receive and keep in his custody Jean Baptiste de Bouriot, upon a charge of high treason, or attenelat a le emeute de l'etat, and to keep him so in custody until diicharged by due course of law. The following is a copy of the letter addressed to Prince Lucien Bonaparte : " To his Royal Highness the Prince Lucien Bonaparte. "My Prince,—l beg you to pardon the liberty of a stranger addressing you ; but I trust that, when you know the circumstances under which I do so, that you will excuse it. " I bad the honour to belong to the expedition of Boulogne, under his Highness the Prince Louis Napo leon, and at its unfortunate termination, I was taken prisoner, and placed in the prison at Boulogne, where I and my companions suffered the greatest misery. The day on which I and my unfortunate companions were to have been removed to Paris, I was fortunate enough to make my escape, and succeeded in getting to Eng land. " I arrived in this country without money, or any means of obtaining a subsistence, and I have not a single friend or acquantsnce to whom I can apply. I trust, therefore, that your Highness will take into considera tion my unhappy position, and I assure you that nothing but the greatest distress and misery could have induced me to trespass upon your generosity. Hoping for a favourable answer, I have the honour to be, &c. " BOURIOT." There were some other documents found upon the prisoner in reference to the same subject, but their con tents were not material. The CHAIRMAN asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge of going about to obtain money by begging ?—He replied that he was not aware that he was committing any offence. H• had suffered a great deal of misery in the cause of Prune Louis, and having understood that his uncle resided at Croydon or some where in the neighbourhood, he thought he had a right to try to obtain some assistance from him. The CHAIRMAN asked him where he came frm ? He replied that upon making his escape from the autho rities at Boulogne, he made the best of his way to Lon don, and he there received information of the residence ut Prince Lucien. Tile Inspector said that some relations of Prince Louis did formerly live at Croydon, and he believed the Prince himself lived there for a short time, but none of the family were at the present time living in that neighbourhood. The Prince died some months ago. The Magistrates told the prisoner that the law of this country did not allow persons to go about collecting money in this way, but, under the circumstances, if he would promise to leave the town immediately no pu nishment would be inflicted upon him. Bouriot said that as he found Prince Lucien did not lire at Croydon be had no wish to stay in the town any longer, arid he, therefore, willingly made the required promise. The Magistrates then ordered him to be discharged. He afterwards applied for hi 3 papers, bat the Beach said they had better remain for the present in the hands of the Inspector. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Mr. Stockdale, in the early part of yesterday. ad dressed Alderman Hooper, who sat for the Lord Mayor, on the subject of the petition which he (Mr. Stockdale) which he intended to present to the Court of Aldermen against the election of Alderman Harmer as Lord Mayot of London. He had, he said, been told by the Lord Mayor to attend the Court of Alder men on Tuesday, in order to present the petition, but he had, since that appointment, very much to his sur prise, received notice that the sitting of the Court had been postponed from that day, and he thus teas prived of an opportunity of bringing before it a matter of the utmost importance to the Corporation of Lon don. Alderman Harmer was perfectly atvare of his in tention, having received a communication , o the effect of the meditated opposition to the election, and stating the time and place. Alderman HOOPER—The affair is one of which cannot take cognizance. Mr. Stockdale—l know that. My object. in corning here is to state publicly that I shall attend here on Wednesday next, for the purpose of bringing- forward the matter before his Lordship, so that Alnicrrmsn Harmer may be perfectly well acquainted with the ap pointment. I come here because, whatever may b. , the cause of it, the Court of Aldermen appoiated for Tuesday has been postponed. Alderman FloorEa—lt is not Alderman Harmer's fault that there is to be no Court on Tuesday. Mr. Stockdale—l don't know that. 1 know that the Mayor appointed that I should attend at the Court on Tuesday, and I find that a postponement has taken place. Alderman HOOPER—WeII, I tell you that Alderman Harmer ha 3 nothinto do with the postponement. Mr. Hohlor said that p9.llponements of the Courts of Aldermen were by no means unusual, especially when appolutments in the Calendar followed closely, the one upon the other. Mr. Stockdale—l ,7,ive this public intimation, that on Wednesday I shall attend here to make my statement so that Alderman Ihrmer, or any body i❑ his behalf, may be present upon this occasion. Alderman HOOPER —I. dare say the Lord Mayor wil be here. Mr. Stockdale then withdrew. The list of charges contained several cases of drunken. neis, for most of which the Aldermen considered the punishment of imprisonment, from Saturday night till Mandl), morning, and the disgrace of exposure, sufficient. One of the " disguised in liquor" was a decent-look ing man, who described himself as a commission agent for the business of chemists and druggists. The policeman who picked him up stated that the gentleman was so drunk that he lay gasping upon the broad of his back in a court, and that he had not even the power to turn himself on his belly. Alderman HOOPER expressed some surprise that a man who had a respectable appearance should degrade himself to such a brutal condition, and asked him whether he wished to say anything on the subject ? The defendant said that after having been engaged in transacting business during the day, ,he had unfortu nately drunk a little ale, and afterwards a little rum. Alderman HOOPER observed that if the defendant had any professional sagacity in his moments of recrea tion, he must have known that he had swallowed a very discordant compound. The defendant said that he had taken but little of either ingredient ; for in fact his medical friends had assured him that if he did not abstain from drinks of the kind, he could not fairly calculate upon a long stay in this world. Alderman Hoot , Ea—And so you are determined to take their advice? The defendant—l fell into a fit in consequence of having taken the mixture ; and I think, if I persist in drinking liquor of this kind, I shall go off in an apoplexy, as my medical friends have informed me. Alderman Hoop Ea—l think so toe, and I advise you to be influenced by that apprehension. The defendant —You may depend upon it that I shall take y•ur ad vice, my Lord. Alderman HOOPER—Do so. You live by com pounds. Take care that you do not die by them. You see m to be pursuin g both courses. Was he quiet, po liceman ? Policeman —Quiet enough, my Lord. He neithe r spoke nor moved. but I most seri Alderman HOOPERWeII I shall not fine you ; intoxi afeunfdant teetotalism, went ous y if to ou l av a e dv a i n se y v y' a o l u ue no f t o t r o ) d ,o r u in r k lit a e n . ything The defend s ug st h ro t n h g e t a h Y the virtue e ly sy i s gi te p m res i s i e w d } w m i l t ly at varian ce w i t h the prosperity y of th e business by which he is supported. inlo r rn m w t 't SPiTtal6elds' . • _ 1 Mr. Levy, of White row, to came to the hi l s e ab L d ord Mayor that a i swindler, who had taken up soonelointimcehrbiestnCheuarrcryh.- : fnigicoe'n in na Dublin,moa most e x tensive h i iIP e a scheme for of do l : depredation upon Ida LordshipP London houses. He handed to signed John Barber, which stated to Il a l followingletter effect : As a citizen of Dubl i n and a merchant, Mr. B ar b er begged to apprise Mr. Levy, though he was afraid too late, that there was o ne of the most deter mined swindlers in the City of Dublin that had been known t o t h e world for some t i me , A fictitiou; firm under the name of Messrs. Whyte, fii:Ninbottom , and Go., No. 9, Ch r i st Chun:ll6 , w, bad been got up. Tuvre was no such party as Higginbottom. Whyte attended the office to ; receive letters in the morning, but was not seen on the same day again, and all goods that arrived were at once sold off at whatever they would bring. The mode of procedure was to order goods, and state that they ,could be paid for on delivery, and reference was given to some persons who were known to whatever menu facturers were applied to. The pickles ordered from Mr. Levy, to whom the letter was addressed, were sold at fourpence per bottle. Fine old Windsor soap, which cost 80s. per cwt. in London, was sold at 50s. by the trader of Christ Church-place, who bad, it was believed, . swindled every respectable firm he could find out. Hops were ordered from Sewel, in the Borough ; isinglas from Mr. Mobbing, Great Winchester-street ; Roman cement from another ; hair-seating from Hull, silk and cotton hose from Nottingham, hardware from Birming ham and Sheffield, hair-seating from Scotland, silk vei manufactures from Glasgow, &c. &c. Major Sirr, one of the Dublin Magistrates, had upwards of 150 of the swindlers' replies to letters. It was supposed that the fellow had received goods from upwards of 1,000 houses, for not an article of which he had paid one farthing. He had received two shipments of sewing thread, amounting in value to upwards of 601., which had been obtained from two manufacturers in Paisley, in Scotland, and sold for less than half the value. The letter to Mr. Levy concluded by requesting that the facts might be laid before the police of London without delay. Mr. Levy stated to the Lord Mayor that the loss he sustained did not, very fortunately, amount to more than 6/. or 81., but he knew several respectable trades men who were sufferers, and he was anxious to prevent further extension of the plunder, which seemed to have been carried on with remarkable boldness and success. The Loan MAYOR said that be should give all the aid in his power to check and expose the system. GUILDHALL. James Glennon, a very old and feeble-looking man, was charged with committing a nuisance by emptying a pail of filth on the pavement of St. Andrew's-hill, The Churchwarden of the parish said that similar nuisances had been frequently committed, and in conse quence he placed a policeman in plain dress to watch the parties so offending, and in the present instance the prisoner was observed to come up to the door of the Rector's house, and empty the pail down the area. He must have done so for the purpose of annoying that gentleman, as he passed several houses in coining from his own to that where he committed the nuisance. He was sentenced to imprisonment for one month in the House of Correction, with hard labour. Two wretched-Inoking youths were placed at the bar, for creating a disturbance at the workhouse of the West London Union. The porter stated that they applied for admission to the workhouse, which was denied, because they had been formerly inmates, and left without permission. On being refused, they made so great a disturbance, and used such abusiv e language that be was compelled to give them into custody. The prisoners who, in their defence, urged that they left the workhouse to seek some employment, but being unsuccessful were compelled again to apply for relief, were sentenced to 21 days' imprisonment. T 1 K SUN, LONIMN, TcESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1810. ~XPULSION OF A DEVIL FitoM A WIDOW'S LEG. BmY Court,. A trial took place recently in the Su premeso singular in it s d e t a il s , an d p resen tin g E A ,uch a characteristic illustration of the lights and sha- 1 (lows of Indian life—of simplicity and superstition credulity on the one part, of craft end deliberate knavery on the other—that it deserves to be placed on record. The following are the facts proved in evidence : A pour widow, named Tukke e , w h o earne i h er live lihood by selling greens in the market, was living in a small hut with her daughter-in-law. Having been at tacked with some complaint in the knee, she applied for ' medicine to a market-gardener, named Dhondeebs, who appears to have had come knowledge of simples, in more senses than one. Dh on d ee b a, a f ter app l y i ng some remedies without any effect, at last told her that she was bewitched by the art magic of some malicious person, and that her only hope of remedy was in resorting to th e counter - c h arms o f some ot h er sorcerer, adding that he knew a friend of his who ' was very skilful in these matters, who would do her bu siness effectually. Ike accordingly introduced her to one Daood, the keeper of a betel leaf shop, who promised to undertake her cure. Daood and his partner, one Dhoolajee, repaired next day to the widow's house and held a consultation on her ca se . Af ter a f u ll examina tion of her leg , they withdrew to a little distance, and, sitting down upon the gro un d, h e ld a long dialogue, of which the patient was allowed to hear the following sig nificant portion : First Conjuror — This is not a n a t ura l a il men t— some e nemy has done it. Second Conjuror—Clearly. She is enchanted. First Conjuror—She has got a devil in her leg. Second Conjuror—She is very full of devil. First Conjuror—The detil Mahar has got into her. Second Conjuror—He is a b a d d ev il , t h at . Having come to this satisfactory conclusion, and communicated it to the bewitched widow, they sent her daughter-in-law for some limes, flowers, and leaves, a little incense and some molasses ; on getting which they went through some ceremonies and applied a charm to the suffering limb ; then mixing up a food-offering to the gods of the molasses, they made her and her daugh ter-in-law partake of it and went away. The next morning, on visiting her patient, they found the charm had wrought no effect ; from which they adduced con vincing proof to the widow that the devil in her leg was of a peculiarly malignant nature. They accordingly told her it would take seven days to combat him, and on the eight day they would cast him out. Pursuant to this plan, they continued their magical operations for seven days ; and on the morning of the €3ll day informed the widow that in the evening they would bring two other strong conjurors, and with their aid would expel the devil. At the hour appointed the four conjurors arrived, and having sent the daughter-in-law for the limes, flowers, incense, and molasses, two of the party sat at the door as tilers, to prevent the ingress of strangers, as the devil would not brook their approach. " Procul, o procul, este profani—en daemon accessit l" The other two disposed the flowers and limes accord ing to rule on a board, and burning some incense, and going through some mummery, prepared another food offering to the gods of the molasses, and giving it to the two women to eat, withdrew, and sat down near the tilers. Shortly after they had swallowed it, the widow fell down and became senseless ; her daughter-in-law also felt giddy, but retained sufficient consciousness to perceive, and be alarmed at the state of her mother in-law, she went therefore to where the four magi cians were sitting in the dark, and said to them, What is the matter with my mother-in-law ?" They replied, " Don't be alarmed, nothing is the matter , only the devil is coming out ; you will hear him speck presently ;" not satisfied with this, the girl turned the conjurers out, and, begging a female neighbour to sit at the door, got another to lead her by the hand to her uncle's home, as her head reeler', and she was unable to walk alone. As soon as she had gone the conjurors came back to the house and frightened the female neighbour away, telling her that they were casting the devil out of the widow's leg, and that if she approached he would enter into her. Having thus cleared the field, they proceeded to ease the widow —not of the devil, but of a gold nose-ring and neck lace, and then departed. When the girl returned with her uncle they found the woman lying like a corpse, and sopped of her ornaments, and shortly afterwards the dose administered in the food-offering, which in all pro bability was stramonium, began to take eff,.ct on the girl, and she also fell senseless ; towards morning they both recovered, but only partially, as it appears they cast off their clothes and went about naked to the houses of their neighbours, who brought them back and administered soma medicines ; after another day aid night, being now perfectly recovered, they went to the betel leaf shop of Dacca and Dhoolajee, and the wi dow asked why they did not come the two last days to follow up the charm ? Daood replied, ‘. What is the use of our cordng alone?—the other two conjurors are our masters in magic —we , are only disciples, and it would be useless to come without them." The widow then stated that she had been robbed of her jewels, on which the disciples observed it must have been the 1 other two master magicians that had done it., adding, 1 If you will give us 25 rupees and a horse to ride after them, we will pursue and seize them." She replied, " I am a poor widow ; where am I to get 25 rupees and a horse P Tile authorities will decide between us ;" and fcn thwith she had thein both tiken up by the police. The two tilers, 43 well as Dliondeeb,i, have ab sconded ; but the two principal actors in the scene of imposture and robbN-y, D.iood and Dhoolajec, wera brought to tried, and being convicted, were sentenced to seven years' transportation to Singapore.

BOW-STREET. Margaret Murray, aged 16 years, was yesterday brought before Mr. HALL, charged with stealing two shawls, value 103., the property of Bridget Mullins, her fellow-servant, and with setting fire to the house of Mr. James Biggs, No. 2, Bow-street, her master. It appeared from the evidence, that about ten o'clock on Saturday night last, Mr. Biggs and his bro ther were going up stairs to bed, and on passing the ser vant's bed-room, observing a dense smoke issue from it, they entered and found the sheets and bed on fire, They instantly called up the prisoner and the other servants to help in extinguishing it, and while they were engaged in ascertaining how it originated, the prisoner went down stairs and left the house, taking the two shawls with her and other articles of wearing ap parel that had been laid on the bed in the early part of the day. On the following morning a child knocked at the door with the shawls in her possession, saying that she had been told by a girl, who gave her a penny, to leave them for Mrs. Mullins, and a policeman being sent for, the child accompanied him to the corner of Brydges-street, where the prisoner was waiting for her, and she was given into custody. The prisoner had been several times up stairs during the evening with a lighted cand!e, and although it was usual for her to take a lantern with her, to prevent accidents occurring, she neglected to do so on this occasion. The fire teemed to have been put under the mattress, and not to have caught the furniture by the negligence of some person who had been in the room at the time. The prisoner said she would not have left the house, but she was pushed into the sticets by Mrs. Mullins, and she knew nothing about the fire. Mr. HALL said that the evidence as regarded the arson was not quite conclusive, and the prisoner should be committed for trial for the robbery. George Marshall, a plumber, and Richard Horn castle, a printer, were charged by Efiza Braham, an un fortunate woman, with committing au unprovoked assault upon her. The complainant stated that about two o'clock, she was passing towards Fleet•strcet, through Temple Bar, when she met the defendants in a state of intoxication, and without uttering a word to them, Marshall struck her a violent blow on the back which knocked her flown, the other defendant, when she recovered herself, &so struck her twice on the back, and being stunned by the injury she had received, he threw her into the carriage. way. Robert Follet, a master bootmaker, who happfined to be passing at the time, proved that the only offence he thought the complainant had offered was. passing in side the defendants, as she proceeded through the Bar ; and seeing they had acted in such a brutal manner, he secured one of them, while the policeman, who also witnessed the assatilt, tcok the other into custody, and conveyed them to the station-house. _ _ The defendant Marshall sail that be felt his watch guard pulled, and he thought it had been done by the complainant, or he would not have interrupted her ; and the other defendant said she laid hold of him as he passed her. Mr. HALL ordered them top iy a fine of 4/. each, or go to prison for six weeks. The defendants were unable to procure the amount, and they were removed from the bar. TURKISH FRONTIERS, SEPT. s.—Letters from Salonica say that the Governor, Namik Paella, to the great jay of the people, is deposed, and ordered to Laressa, ar.:ll;ucceeded by Omer Riche, who has live? at Salonica for some time -cithout public employment. The treaty of London of 15th July, has made an unfavourable impression in all Albania and Macedonia, and in conse quence of the general apprehension that the Russians may occupy Constantinople, has excited much sympathy for Mehemet Ali. Properly speaking, this is only the vcxa. tion of the opponents of reform ; who in these province's form the majority, whom that treaty deprives of all prospect of a change to be effected through Mehemet Ali. We learn from Constantinople that the Government has or dered the chief of the corporation of butchers at Con stantinople to have 5,000 oxen and cows in readiness ; it is believed that they are to be intended for the supply of a Russian or a Prussian army, which is said to be daily ex pected in the Bosphorus. ARRANGEMENTS FOR PRINCE LOUIS'S TRIAL.-The doors of the Luxembourg Palace will be guarded by two military posts, one composed veteran sous-officiers, the other consisting of a troop of the line. In the interior of the garden sentinels will be placed at a distance from each other of 20 to 30 paces. Commencing with Monday, each of the casernes of the Municipal Guard of Paris will furnish a contingent of men to reinforce the permanent guard ; and the effective force in the Rues de Tournon and des Gres will also be strengthened. The Municipal Guard will, as at the Conciergerie, he specially destined to watch over the prison of the Luxembourg. The palace of the Luxembourg is at present guarded by a formidable array of troops of the line. These are formed in battalion, and provided with cartouches. The Prefec ture of Police will continue to be guarded throughout the entire trial by 300 of the Municipal Guard, mounted as well as on foot.— Temps. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK.—It is our pain ful duty to announce the melancholy loss of the schooner Mary, Captain Burnell, on Wednesday afternoon last. It appears that the Mary sailed from Newport in the morn ing of that day laden with coals for B ri dg water, the win d blowing a strong gale from the N.

The vessel belongs to Mr. Kinsbury, of Taunton. —Somerset Gazette. For several years past it has been a matter of complaint that you could not leave a letter at the Exeter Post-office, after the box was closed, without payment of a fee of twopence, which was latterly altered to one penny for the first portion of the time, and threepence for the last, no matter whether you were indifferent whether the letter went one post or another, you were compelled either to take the letter away and bring or send it again, or else pay the pence. If you complained, Paul Measor, Esq., Postmaster, read his official eath or detailed its stringent ob ligations, of which he evidenly stood in no small awe, and you either paid the pence or took your letter away, you must have been a savage to trench upon the obligations of that solemn vow by which Paul's pence were levied.

Dr. Bowring chanced to come to the office with a letter " too late," and finding the practice be im mediately wrote to Lord Lichfield ; a mere statement of the fact was sufficient, Lord Lichfield volunteered to be Paul Measor, Esq.'s Pope, absolved him from his oath, and directed that a letter-box should be open for the CON.. venience of the inhabitants, and a great convenience it is, and one which we ought to have had years ago._ Western Times.

Yesterday Mr. Falconer, the Barrister appointed to revise the list of voters for the Borough of Maryiebone, opened his Court at the Court-house, Marylebone-lane ; and a considerable degree of interest was excited, as it was u nderstood that the claims and objections between the parties amounted to upwards of one thousand in number. Mr. Ivimey, the Solicitor, and Mr. Allen, Secretary to the Borough of Marylebone Reform and Registra tion AssoCiation, appeared to support the Liberal inte rest ; and Mr. Greenwood, Secretary of the Loyal and Constitutional Association, that of the Tory party. Mr. FALCONER said he would in the first instance proceed with the claims or objections of any gentleman present, in order to prevent giving them unnecessary trouble, and he would then proceed regularly with the St. Marylebone list. Mr. Alfred Bainbridge Daniell, the son of Mr. Churchwarden Daniell, was objected to upon the ground that he was not the occupant of the house 28, CUR bridge-street, Edgeware-road, for which he claimed, but that it was occupied by a lady named Neville. A second objection was taken to him as the joint occupier with his lather of a house No.lB, Wigmore-street. Mr. Alfred Daniell was called by Mr. Ivimey, and proved in the first case that the lady alluded to never lived at 28, Cambridge-street, but that his son was sole occupier. With respect to the second objection, that the house No. 18, Wigenore,street, was leased to him self and son seven years, since. The 'LEARNED BARRISTER said he thought the case in both instances was very clearly proved a good occu pation, and he must disallow the objections. Sir Thomas Strange was objected to upon the ground of non-occupancy of his house, No. 31, Upper Harley street. Sir Thomas Strange stated that he had occupied the house for the last twelve months, with the exception of an interval of a few weeks between the 12th of May and the 6th of August ; that during that period he had no servant in the house, or any one else to represent him, although it was tenanted. He had, however, one room which was occupied with lumber belonging to him. _ _ Mr. FALCONER said the 27th section of the Act re quired a distinct occupation, and where there was a cessation of occupation entirely, it amounted to a dis qualification. This appeared to be the case in the pre sent instance, as S:r Thomas Strange had no servant in the house to represent him. Mr. Ivimey submitted that the lumber•room, con taining lumber belonging to Sir Thomas, was an occu pation, and cited a case where Mr. Coventry decided in favour of a person who merely occupied the lower part of a house, by keeping a poney there. Mr. FALCONER said, in this case, during the interval between the 12th of May and the 6th of August, there was a distinct tenant. Although Sir Thomas might have had a lumber-room in the house, yet there was no proof of his right over the premises, either as landlord or joint occupier with the sub-tenant. Objection allowed. Thomas Halliday claimed in respect of part of a house and workshops, situate No. 35, Ogle-street, and was objected to by Mr. Greenwood. The claimant had made his claim on the 17th of July, and it was con tended that he had not a sufficient qualification, inas much as he had not paid his rates up to Midsummer. Mr. FALCONER wished to know how the rates in the parish of St. Marylebone were laid. Mr. Ivimey said that there was one rate made in the year, and that in the month of May. It was at the same time prospective and retrospective. He con tended that in Marylebone ratepayers were not liable for the Midsummer rate. In fact, it was not at the period of the claim in collection. Mr. FALCONER said in all other parishes the rates were made at the period of the commencement of the electoral year, but in Marylebone it appeared that it was made long before the commencement of the electoral year ; and the question arose as to whether a person was required to ply the Midsummer rate in order to become qualified for voting. The point was a very nice one, and he would defer his judgment thereon. Judgment in this case, which also involves that of many others, was accordingly deferred. Richard Brinsley Portal claimed for a house, No. 7, Westmoreland-street, and was objected to by the It.- formers upon the ground of non-payment of assessed taxes. Mr. Portal was sworn, and stated that before the 20th of July, the tax-collector came to his house with the assessor of the window-tax, and whilst there he of fered to pay hial his taxes. The collector replied " You had better send them to me." But it had slipped his memory until after the 20th. Mr. Greenwood submitted that the offer to pay the collector when in the claimant's house, was a good and sufficient tender of the money, . _ Mr. FALCONER took a different view of the case. Unless a person absolutely produced the money to the collector, it did not amount to a legal tender.—Claim disallowed. The c;aim of Mr. William Ford, oflo, Holles-street, was disallowed, upon the ground that he was not upon the rate-book. He had claimed last year to be put upon the Register for successive occupation, but not in the present,. and the Revising Barrister held that a fr4sh claim to be rated was necessary to qualification. Mr. Edward Clayton, of 3, Upper Rathnone-place, was objected to by the Tories on the ground of non occupancy. Mr. Clayton said he had occupied the premises, which had workshops attached to them, for thirty years. He occasionally slept there, lived within seven niies, and paid a servant to some of his lodgers a quar terly salary for taking in messages, &c. He had been objected to two years before, and the objection was dis allowed. He had furniture in the house. Mr. FALCONER said this was a ease of constructive ounpation, and one which might affect a large class of voters. The question was whether the landlord of a house having but a small portion of the premises in his pousessioa, had a right to be considered the absolute tenant, or whether the sub-tenant i4lone was to be cor.- sid,red in that light. It, was clear that they could not be joint-tenants. It appeared to him that in the present case the person objected to had an exclusive right over the premises, and that, therefori', he had a right to be on the Register. As the point, however, was a very im portant one, he would deter his judgment. John Cooper, of N 0.44, Hereford -street, was object ed to by the same party, upon the ground that he had not paid his assessed taxes. It appeared that the claimant, being ill on the 18th of July last, gave his landlord, John Cole, a sum of money to pay his assessed taxes. He went, and brought the receipt back en the same day. The Collector declared that no rates had been paid for the house No. 44. He did not know the nude of Cooper at all, Mr. Cole paying all the rates himself ; moreover, the rates for the house, 44, amounted to 21. 13s. 9d. On the receipt being produced, it was found that it was in the name of Cole, and for the house 45, Cooper having sworn to paying the money to, and receiving th e receipt from, Cole. Mr. FALCONER said it was very palpable that the re ceipt was given in mistake, be would not sa) fraudu lently, but that ought not to interfere with the right of Cooper to vote. Benjamin Wall, jun., was objected to by the Tories as joint occupant of the house No. 28, Norton -street, upon the ground of not having an interest in the premises. Mr. Wall stated that he had been joint occupier with his father of the house for the last five years, and they carried on business as grocers, &c. The lease was granted fourteen years ago, and consequently his name was not in it, but he took his share of the profits and loss of the business. Mr. Greenwood said the license written over the door was only in the name of the father. Mr. PALCONEIL said to substantiate a joint occupancy an interest in the premises must be shown by the party elaiming. Mr. Wall—l have an interest so far, that I con tribute part to the repairs of the house ; it has recently been repaired, and I paid half the expenses. The Learned Barrister said that was not a sufficient proof of interest, and be must allow the objection. Mr. Tamer, of 3.5, High-street, was objected to on the part of the Liberals, as the joint occupant with Mr. Tilbury, of the same premises, upon precisely similar grounds, and the name was accordingly expunged. At five o'clock the Court rose, and was adjourned till this day.

WINTERBOTTOM, LATE OF STOCKPORT. —The second meeting of creditors under the fiat of bank ruptcy against Mr. J. K. Winterbottom, "of Heaton Norris, banker, money scrivener, dealer and chapman," as the fiat describes him, but better known as an attorney in Stockport,—whose fliglt, and the charges of forgery against him are too well.known to need further allusion here,—took place at the rooms of the Commissioners of Bankrupts, St James's-square, last week. Of course the bankrupt was not in attendance to " finish his examination,' and the business was chiefly confined to the proof of debts. A number of creditors were sworn, and subscribed their affidavits of debts, but there were not more than thirty whose respective debts exceeded 30/. Lord Alvanley, who is at present in Egypt, is a creditor to a considerable amount. The amount of debts of 201. each and upwards, proved during this meeting amounted to about 11,2501. The total amount of debt previously proved would be some thing under 18,0001; so that the total proved is under 30,000/. The principal debt proved at this meeting, was that of the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank, which was stated at 7,778/ (that being the amount not motscted by securities in the possession of the bank). The only other debts exceeding 1,000/ were those of Mr. John Upton (of Cheadle), 1,2901., and " Jane Martin, 1,3301." The bankrupt not having surrendered at three o'clock, a memorandum to that effect was made; and, by not surrendering, the bankrupt has now httconle liable to indictment for felony, and to outlawry.—Liver pool Chronicle. HAMBURGH MAIL. KoNIGSBERG, SEPT. 10.—This forenoon the cere mony of doing homage, by the Estates of the King dom of Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Posen, took place. All the preliminary ceremonies being performed the Chancellor of the Kingdom of Prussia approached the lowest step of the Throne and delivered the Ad dress to the Estates, which was answered by a speech for the Estates of the Kingdom of Prussia, and by a speaker for the Grand Duchy of Posen. Counsellor Zander then read the oath, which was taken by the Deputies selected for the purpose. Now came the most solemn moment of the whole ceremony. The King having risen with dignity from the Throne, and having advanced towards the assembled functionaries pronounced the following Address " And I vow here in the sight of God, and in the presence of all these beloved witnesses, that I will be a just judge, a faithful, careful, and merciful Prince, a Christian King, as my never to be forgotten father was.. Blessed be his memory. I will administer jus tice with vigour, without respect of persons. I will study, cherish, and promote the good, the prosperity, the honour of all classes with equal affection, and 1 pray to God to give me the chief blessing of a Prince which renders the hearts of men inclined to him, a man ac cording to the Divine will, the delight of the good, the terror of evil doers. God bless our dear country. Its State has been envied, often aimed at in vain. Among us there is union ; between the beads and the members, Isetween the Prince and the people, a noble unity of purpose in all classes to attain one great object ; the general good with sacred truth and true honour. From this spirit arises our power of self defence, which is without its parallel. May God preserve our Prus sian country, Germany, and all the world. Manifold and yet one, like the noble ore, which compounded of various metals, forms one of the most noble of all." A storm of joyful acclamation burst forth when the King, with tears in his eyes, returned to the Throne, and fervent prayers rose to Heaven for the father of his country. After the Minister of State, Von Rochow, had an nounced the various favours confirmed by his Majesty, the Marshal of the kingdom of Prussia gave three cheers for the King and Queen, which was several time s re peated with enthusiasm by the assembled people. A Royal salute was then fired by the guns placed in the Palace gardens, during which all the persons present sang the hymn, " Nun danket alle Gott" (Now let all praise God), in which the King, standing on the balcony, joined. Renewed cheers followed his Majesty as he withdrew to his apartments.—Hamburgh Paper, Sept. 18. DUTCH FUNDS.—AMSTERDAM, SErr. 19 Money. 8,14.

EMEUTE IN A BooTH - .—A poor showman had pitched his tent in that Arabia Felix of his nomadic profession, the Champs Elysees, and a vast crowd of amateurs, attracted by the gorgeous paintings of the exterior, elbowed each other on the steps and platform to enjoy the marvels of " positively the last time of re presentation." Some impatience manifested itself amongst the audience, in consequence of delay in rais ing the curtain, when a spectator, more curious than trell-bred, spontaneously, and without being thereto in vited, lifted a portion of the curtain, and exposed to the public gaze the marvellous mass of flesh which consti tuted the personal attraction of Mademoiselle Fifine, " the fat woman." The wondrous muscular de velopment of Fiflnc monopolized nearly the entire pro gramme of the spectacle, not to speak of a very charm ing collection of serpents, destined to serve as a sort of codicil to the giantess. The first glimpse at Mademoi selle Fiflne's lower extremities raised the impatience of the spectators to the highest pitch of excitement. A lively altercation ensued, with assault and battery ; and the indignant showman described the scene in the fol lowing terms before the Correctional Tribunal : The curtain, then, Messieurs, being thus raised, right or wrong, I proceeded to explain the points of the fat woman.' The thickness of an ordinary man's body yields in amplitude to the calf of ber leg—" President—Pray come to the assault. Showman—Her hips of the magnitude of seven metres— President—Remember, complainant, that you are not now pronouncing the customary eulogium in your booth. Showman—But in truth, Monseigneur, she is an illustrious woman—an enormous prodigy, which Mon seigneur should verify with his own eyes. President (laughing)—There is a time for all things ; the assault now—the exhibition when one has nothing better to attend to. Showman—Ah, Messieurs, it is dead cheap at two sous. Well, to proceed with the misconduct of these gamins. " Messieurs," said Ito the public, " you will, no doubt, be delighted to hear that this amiable young person weighs neither more nor less than 160 kilo grammes, and this according to the new tariff. ' That's a whopper,' cried this man near me in a voice so loud as to split every ear in the booth. Your fat woman weighs no such chalk as 160 kilos. Then, as to her age, just give me a squint at her baptismal register.' " Follichon (one of the accused) —Aye, just so. I'm not one to be paid off with fine words. Showman—He gesticulated with as much violence as an election orator in a minority of votes : " Show me her baptismal register," he went on exclaiming. " wager 25 louis that she weighs no such figure, your fat woman ; 25 louis, here they are. Where is your stake ? Robber, cheat, swindler, &e." Follichon—Not one word of truth in all that he has said, mon gPresident. Parole d'honneur, not a word. It was not I who lifted the curtain. Showman—The man would swear any thing. But to proceed with the business. There I found myself with a terrible enzeute in the heart of my booth. Ma dame Felicite, my poor wife, had almost decided upon fainting away. My serpents were horribly frightened, and their hissing added dreadfully to the confusion. In vain did my clarionet blow his bear, to the charm ing tune— " Their's nought in life where'cr you roam, Like sweet domestic bliss at home." Even this did not restore peace and coaeord. I then advanced, and said to the disturber—" Monsieur, since my fat woman does not seem to please you, you will have the goodness to withdraw, and you shall have no thing to pay. If it shill seen more agreeable to you to remain, do me the kindness to honour me with your tranquillity and silence " Follielion—Not one word of all that did ho say to me, le vieux farceur He wanted to break our hones, and eat as raw. The other accused gave evidence of the showman having absolutely walked over him, and kicked him as he lay en the ground. Showman—lt's your own story you're telling, grand blagueur ! Who swelled my face with his fistycuffs ? Who tore my features and ray clothes? Did not the commissary even promise that he would get you to pay me 15f. damages? Follichon—We did not promise a son. Showman—When I asked you for the 151., in the friendliest manner; you said, like a savage—" Come with me into a corner, and I'll pay you off." Not being a porter or a gamin, but having the honour to be an artiste (0, I declined the offer. Each of the accused was sentenced to pay 50f. damages. THE PENNY POST.—On the sth ult. a pony was stolen from Milbrook, near Ampthill, belonging to the Rev. George Cardale. A considerable quantity of hand bills wire printed, and one or two sent to the police officer of almost every town in England by post. The result was, that on the following Tuesday the animal was disco vered at Egham, in Surrey, whither it had been conveyed by a person who bought him at Barnet fair, and on Satur. day evening last he was ushered into his own stable again at Milbrook, a ft er being absent only about a week.
