POLICE. Ni‘NSION BEFbRE THE LORD MAYOU. His Lordship, having complied with - the request of Mr: Daniels, the Stock Exchange defaulter, who was-brought up for examination on Wednesday, to' _postpone that, business till ten yesterday mornng, the Justice Rooal was before that hour crowded by Gentlemiak of the Stock Exchange, and many others attracted i)y curiosity on the occasion. Mr. MAR RYATT, as Counsel on behalf of Mr. ID:inlets ; attendee), and stated, that his client had been suddenly seized with. so severe a degree of Hitless ) in the course of yesterday evening, as to be utterly incapable of attending this morning. In support .of this statement Mr. MARRYATT adduced the eertincate of Dr. Hodson, and hoped his 'Lord . ship would have no objection to defer the examina tion till Saturday. The LORD MAYOR most readiiiy acceded to the request. On tuntuter inquiry, we understand Mr. Daniels's incapability arose from kstate of mind bordering on a&ual derangement, in consequence of the refusal of certain of his late most intimate friends and near • relations, 'with whom he was extremely desirous of conversing previously to his examination, to hold any comintinication whatever with him. This cir cumstance, combined with the degraded situation in which • his conduct had otherwise involved him, waS beyond all his' fortitude, and Las driven hint almost ,to distraetion. A _distressed female, who had the appearance of a reputable elderly servant, was brouglat before the Chief Magistrate by one of the nightly yatrole, who said he had found her on Wednesday night upon the ' battlement of BLick friar's-bridge, - just on the point Of plunging into the Thames, for the desperate VA - pose of self-destru&ion. The poOr creature ap peared much distressed and agitated ; and on being interrogated, said she came lately to town from some place below Maidstone ; that she had beti several days in town, without employment, friends, money, or any lodging but the streets.. On searching - her pocket,-there was found a certificate of her Marriage • at- Lambeth Church ; -butshe said her husband, who: was a seaman, had deserted her. The LORD MAYOR ordered her for the prsent some temporary relief, and gave direaions to the Of. , ficers to have humane attentiop paid to her for a few days, until her mind is more tranquil ; when . she is , •to be sent to - her last 'parish. The American Mariner, and the other Seaman, from the Bonthay Castle Indiaman, who had thrice , before attended with their complaints against Ed waroL, the crimp, for obtaining, under false 'pre tences, the possession of their chests and bedding, by carrying them away from the :public-house in liarkhouse-lane, Billingsgate, where they were de posited, to his oWn house, and refusing to surrender them without being paid a guinea for each, attended now.again, to sustain' their charges; and were ac companied by the' hoStess of the public-house to which those chests and two others were brought from on board the Gravesend Boat by one of those Seamen, who said he paid all ,the expences of con veyance up, to the Captain of the Hoy. Edwards was on board the Boat along with him, but had no charge whatever of the goods, nor any concern with the Boat that he knew of, except merely as a pas- senger, and utterly a stranger to him. He left the four chests, with his bed and bedding, at the public house, safely in care, as- he imagined ; and went to tell the persons to whom two of the chests belong ed, where they were left; on his return he found that Edwards had come to the house and carried them away and afterwards refused to deliver • them up, on his application, without paying a guinea for each. The hostess said, that Edwards came to her house on Sunday, and pointing out the chests, which were not marked with any name, said they belonged to sailors to whom he was agent, and he must carry them away. -He paid the usual storage of twopence tbr each ; wrote with chalk upon each the initials of his name, and ordered the porters, whom he brought there, to carry them away. The American said, he was most severely in jured, as well as inconvenienced, by the deten tion of his chest. The Captain of the Bombay castle Was so kind as to give him his passage home, in consideration of the distress he had'auffered in India, and afterwards was pleased to give him a gratuity for ailing as a seaman on board the Ship. 'He had obtained, since he landed, an appointment to return to America as mate on board of a vessel •bodnd to New Orleans, but lost his appointment by delay, owing to the detention of his chest ; and out of the pittance of money be had for his support, he was under the necessity ,of purchasing apparel, through the want of the clothes locked up m the chest. - The Loan MAYoR received the examinations of all the parties, but Edwards did not appear. A war _ rant was issued for his -apprehension ; and the LORD MAYOR told Ale -parties he would dire& a prosecu tion against Edwards at the publicaexpence. HATToN-GAitom—Yesterday Timothy Coakley, a private soldier, was committed for trial, for a burglary. in the house of T. IV.P . Millan, in Charles, itrcet, • Hoxton, and stealing thereout a large quan tity of carpenters' tools. Another private soldier, an associate of the Prisoner, suspected to be con cerned in the robbery, underwent .an examination, and was committed for a re-hearing. William Lee, a seafaring man; Was charged by Thomas Kirk, au .Artilleryman, who lately came home in the Lord Gardner East Indiaman, with jobbing him of four one-pound Bank•notes, on Monday last. Kirk said, that on Monday last, .knowing the Prisoner, he took him with him to CLaring-Cross, left him standing at the corner of Craig's-court, while he went to the Agent, Messrs. Cox and Greenwood, and received the above sum, together with 123. 6d. in gold and silyer. He then joined him, and went to Bear-street, Leicester fields, where they dined together ; they afterwards went to St. Giles's, to see a persbn of the name of Barker, where they drank very copioUsly of gin.-- After that, the Prisoner and the Prosecutor walked • don Holborn, and stopped at the Coach and Horses, kept by a Mrs. Hardy, where they 'drank pod deal.. Kirk, finding hithself tipsey, to* a -conch :go to his lodgings in nutelfet.tow, East ;Smith field ; .the_Prisoner assisted him to.go into the ':coach, when it .drove away, and, at the bottom of Holborn-hill, putting his hand into his pocket, he 'missed his money ; the coachman drove back to the coach and horses, where the Prisoner was found drinking. He had changed a pound note, 'and Was accused of the theft, but derned„any know ledge of it. Trott and Ecklesa, thficers, .were sent for, when the Prisoner delivered up three of the notes to Ecklesa. Trott took the. change of the• other note froM him, which he got back from Mrs. Hardy, giving another in lieu of it, -that it might be identified at,the Agents'. The Prisoner was fully committed for trial. CURIOUS OCCURRENCE. A Gentleman travelling from London on Saturday se!nnight, .experienced ,an interruption not of a very pleasant nature :—Having stopped at Ternhill, in Shropshire, the Landlord_of an Inn, and Master of the Post-Office at Newport, where the Gentleman had previously put up on that day, with a stout fierce-looking fellow at his elbow, came up to him as he was preparing to set off, and walked round him several times, eyed him with great attention, and just as he was stepping into the chaise, accosted him with a request to speak to him in private, hav ing something particular to 'communicate ; and on going into a room, the Landlord told him they were com a e on a most disagreeable business, beino• desired by the Magistrate of Newport to folio:him, to know his name. The Gentleman answered, that " before he complied with that request, he must know his name, and the name of the person who was with him; and his authority for so extraordinary a request." The Landlord mentioned his own name, and said that the person with him was a Constable ; and then laid on the table a paper, containing merely the description of a, person " five feet six. incluo. high,- stout, and well made, very fair and full face, remarkable for its roundness, rather an acquiline nose, his voice soft, accompanied with a lisp, though net very perceivable." The Gentleman asked what it meant ? but all the answer he could get , was, that it re lated to some bills. The Gentlemaniconcluding that he.. was suspeeled of some forgery, became enraged, damned ,the Magistrates and them too; and as he did not answer the description, said, ha would not tell his name, and insisted on his being at liberty to pro ceed; which being,, with apparent reluctance, as sented to, he went on to Whitchurch, where he put up for the night, and whither, it seems, he was fol lowed by the Newport Landlord and , his Constable, and closely watched in every step he took about the town. Just as he was sitting down' to supper, a Gentleman sent in his name by the waiter, desiring permission to wait on him; and being shewn in, said he was a Magistrate of that place, and that he hoped no good subject could be offended by asking his name, when he informed him of the reason—that two men,had, by the direction of the Magistrate of New'- port, followed him on an idea that he answered the description in the Advertisement of J. E. Daniels, who rod been charged with a considerable robbery. at the Stock Exchange, and he waited on him in per son, that the matter might he as little unpleasant. as possible. The Gentleman replied, that he could not be supposed to be highly delighted at suspicions' ot the nature alluded to falling on him, and repeated what had passed at Teruhill ; yet to the personal application of a Magistrate, in the way it was made, he should not resist any inquiry that could tend in any way to public justice, or removing of doubts in respect to lihn. The Gentleman then told his name, and that he resided in Gray's Inn. " Then," said the Magistrate, " you are of the profession, I presume ?" To which the Gentleman answered in the affirmative, and said he had been a Member of that Society above _3O. years.. The Magistrate, said be had himself been a Barrister, and remembered the name ; and after asking several questions about professional men, &c. they entered into some legal anecdotes of- their common acquaintance, and the matter was concluded by the Magistrate intreating the Gentleman to 'ac company him to his house, where be hoped to make the rest of the evening more pleasant by a party he had to supper. The Newport Innkeeper, and Con stable, with an additional force, who had all ibis time been planted round,the door of the roorn, and the house, were dismissed by the Magistrate, and' bad to.measure back their steps, twenty-one miles, on a bad road, and dark night, much disappointed at the loss of the large rewards which were offered 'for the apprehension of Mr. Daniels, which they had before looked on as safe as if in their own pockets. FAUX .Pas.—A circumstance has ()Calmed within these few days, not far from Brighton, which has excited atood deal of surprise and vexation. The wife of a tradesman in the vicinity Of St. James's went to' pay a visit to her relations, a few miles from Brighton, about a fOrtnight since ; and, in taking her pleasure, it was not unfrequent for her to visit Brighton. The husband of the Lady in question took an excursion to see her last week, and his in tention was to take her back to Londori ; but being pressed by herself and relations to let her, remain, be did so, and on Friday last he had the mortifica tion to hear - that she was an absentee. The bus band,-on hastening to Sussex, found such to - be the Case ; -and he was informed that she had-gone off with a dashing beau, who had been some time at Brighton, but whom no "one knew. Every step was taken to find the retreat of the fugitives : they were traced to town, and having alighted and taken a hackney-coach at Westminster gridge, no farther information could be had. Conscience, the inflexi ble-warner of what is wrong, induced the wife to seek succour again under the roof of her injured husband, who, having received a note of informa tion from her, expressing contrition, complied with her reqUest, and she has returned home. As a'preof of the imbecility of the frail sex, tae woman, in this instance, was .prevailed on, by the insinuating manners and address of a man whom she knew no thing of at the thoment,-to desert her husband, her family, and her friends. The herring-fishery, on the coasts of the Isle of Man, was more produ6tive last week than it has been since the commencement of the present season. One boat, on Thursday se•nnight, caught fitly maize of fine large fish—twenty five thousand!

GENTZ to HAUTEU/VE'S s' Etat de la France A la Fin de l'An 8." " The colonial trade of the English, notwithstnnd ing its magnitude; is only a scvondary objca in the general mass of British industry. It*own manufac tures arc by far the "most, fruitful source of that part of the power and riches of this nation which is de rived from connuexe. After having . endeavound to point .out the real nature of the colonial monopoly of de-English, arid to shew with how little justice the tornmercial su periotity of Great Britain can in that respeEt be termed tyrannically oppressite, or even prejudicial, to other nations ; I have only now to:examine whe ther such complaints are boner founded when ap plied to.dealiiigs.of the English in their own Mann - faCtures. • " The Author of the .tat de la France, and a thousand writers besides, have described the prefer ence obtained by the English manufadures in every market of Europe as an insuppOrtable yoke, a pain ful and humiliating servitude to all other. nations. It is only by the impoverishment of Europe, say they, that England rises to,vn unnatural degree of wealth ; as this wealth increases, the power is like wise augmented.of straitening, confirming, and per petuating the galling fetters in which all Govern ments and Countries languish in helpless inactivity. The annihilation of independent industry leiids to the destrudion of all liberty : the commercial sove reignty the English is made the foundation of their political despotism, and England becomes more and more the law-giver and tyrant of Europe. A very slight examination of this unfavourable picture issuflicient to shew that the grounds of com plaint upon which it is founded are in many respeds 'equivocal, arbitrary, untenable, and absurd. The' decided and almost exclusive preference given to English ManufaCtures in the - Markets of Europe is not the effeet of compulsion, but of choice ; it is a preference freely given, continued, and confirmed ; for England has no means of introducing her produc tions, and putting them oft by force in any part of Europe. Were the success of these produetions as' de;truelive to the. industry, .and as conducive to the degradation and dependence of all other countries as it is here desCribed, it would be impossible to conceive why so many nations snbinitted to - the yoke they might at any time throw off. For, supposing obsti nate nrejudiceS, or unaccountable fascination,7 to possess the people, would not their Governments use 'every effort to bar the access of this conspluing poison to their dominions - ? ." The force of these arguments must strike the meanest Capacity, 'although it were unable to distih ou ish the relations of cause 'and' effea in a great regular phenomenon ; and it is not a little surprising that such obvious considerations should not long since have destroyed all - the flimsy tissues of so phistry., " Upon these complaints of the tyrantous op pression connected with the industry of the British nation, it naturally occurs to ask, how does this in-. dustry, so detested and abhorred, this pretended cause of such misfortunes, such misery and ruin to the rest of Europe ; how does it maintain so peace ably its once acquired Prerogative ? Why do not all Governments and individuals combine to exclude the manufaaures of Great Britain from every market ; and thus by one manly effbrt break through the fet ters that encumber them ?—The answer is obvious —their interest fdrbids it ; for though they have no distina conception of the nature of that interest, there is a vague sentiment of advantage which impels. them . more poWerfully than the visionary hypothesis of prejudice or ignorance. Let us now endeavour to develop:: this vague sentiment ; let us,divest it of the obscurity in which it is involved. " The superiority of Great Britain in European manufaalure; likeher ascendant in colonial commerce, is founded upon two distinet principles, one positive and the other negative. " The first is the intrinsic excellence of the pro duaions of het' industry ; in other words, the result of the peculiar advantages 14 which England is en abled, with less eftbrt than other nations, to prepare manufactures of equal goodness, or with the same application of labouf to deliver them better ; by which means she brings her articles to market 'at a lower price when equally good, at the same price When .sunerior in. quality, and-very often both more perfect and more cheap. The reason of this intrinsic and peCuliar excellence of British manufactures is obvious ; it . is. owing to the progress of every art among the English, to the extensive use and im provement of machinery, to the largeness of their capitals, to the ingenuity and enterprising spirit. of the people ; it is' a consequence of the character and habits, the polity, and Constitution of the nation, which all contribute to produce and secure those ad vantages. • " The negative principle of this ascendant is .the comparative weakness and indolence of other na tions, their ignorance of political economy, their neglect of many branches orindustry, and their necessary dependence on the activity of foreigners; all, more or less, consequences of their own faults. " The demand for British manufactures in the most cultivated countries of Europe, and among 'nations which have likewise carried industry to great perfection, is a consequence and proof of the posi tive superiority of that of the English. It is by that alone they have acquired, and do still retain, the mar kets of Germany, of most of the Northern Powers, arid of France before and since the Revolution. " Upon this, which I have called the negative superiority of the English, is founded the ascendant of"their industry in Portugal, and mure especially in RuSsia. It is not merely in the shape of commercial intercourse that it prevails in those countries ; it is there internally productive. The British adventurers, with British capital and British labour, engage in the domestic trade, and develOpe the interior resources of the country : there they establish manufa6tories on their own account. Russia and Portugal would not, however, exclude the English from their mar kets by the mere improvement of their native.in dustry ; for were they as highly cultivated as France and Germany, they would still, like France and Oer many, prefer the produCe of British labour even to their own, on account of its. peculiar, excellenCe. But the exclusive prevalence of the manufactures, and "dii - iil•interferente of the inetchaniS .d, in the 'interior of those countries."---this multiprca tion of their natural advantages=-can only proceed from particular defeets of Constitution or •errot s of Covernment. " As far as the predominance of British mantrfk tures is a consequence of real intrinsic excellence and comparative cheapness, it is clearly a positive advantage to every nation, and to civil society in ge neral, as well as to England. It is the interest of every. individual in Europe to procure the commo dities he wants from the quarter where they are to by found at once the best and the cheapest." flo be continued,) NEW STATE LOTTERY OFFICE,•CIIARING=CROSS.
