EVENING EDITION. MONE I MARKET and CITY NEWS. (THURSDAY EVENING.) TIMES.—A letter has been received on a subject of some interest—namely, the disposition of the Burmese Government towards the British. The writer's ob ject is to remove the current impression that Thara waddee, the present King of Burmah, besides being a treacherous, false, and cruel usurper, cherishes the most hostile intentions towards the British Govern ment. The correct history of the !evolution that placed Tharawaddee on the throne is, he asserts, still wanting, hut nevertheless, as he has been raised to his eminence by events that were forced upon him by his taking necessary measures for the preservation of his life, he is improperly considered an usurper. The writer also states, that notwithstanding he may have uttered hasty expressions, he never intended to vio late any treaty ; that he has shown the most awie.able feeling towards the English, and that he is a man of enlightened views, whose chief design is the improve ment of his country. It seems that, aware of his own weakness, and that his whole military force could not maintain any contest with us, he considers a rupture with the British as the greatest calamity that could befall him. At the same time he naturally feels alarmed at the large British force on the borders of his dominions, and it is supposed that he might be induced to adopt precautionary measures, which might be con strued into hostilities, and that, with all his partiality for the English, be is not altogether free from the Chi nese notions of European " barbarism." Hence his refusal of all diplomatic intercourse with the British Minister, which is by some considered an infraction in spirit of the treaty of YandabDo, it being argued that this is a legitimate cause of war, though the expediency of such a war is considered to be doubtful, since by en larging the frontier we should come into collision with other Powers, and after the victories gained in Affgha nistan a refusal to destroy Tharawaddee could not be interpreted into weakness. CHRONICLE.—The resolutions of the Commit tee of Spanish bondholders, which we publish to day, in regard to the mission of Count Lara, have given rise to some discussion, and an anxiety to know more about the matter. We shall have occasion soon, perhaps, to enter upon the subject of the plan pro posed by the Count. At present we have a few words more to say upon the resolutions of the Committee, because the bondholders are anxious to know what kind of plan is to be brought forward, and complain that the Committee should conceal it. It would not an swer, we fear, for the committee to make known every proposal made to them ; but they ought to do so with all reasonable speed, and we question whether they should not have declined negotiation with Count Lara until his proposals, as the fully authorised and accre dited agent of the Spanish Government, were placed upon their table. That would have been the direct and proper course. Instead of doing so, however, the Committee have received the proposals of the Count, and postponed further proce dure until he is accredited by the first competent Go vernment which may exist in Spain. Although the Committee do not say so in precise words, that is the only meaning , which can be attached to their second re solution. We have approved of that resolution, hut we should have been able to have expressed our concurrence in a much wider and more comprehensive sense if the Committee also told Count Lara that they could not expreas any approval of his plan until a competent Go vernment was established in Spain, and until he pro duced his authority to act as their financial agent in effecting a settlement of the foreign debt of Spain with the English bondholders. There eould have been no room for doubt or exception if they had so acted, and stated besides that even then they had no power to do more tha❑ recommend the scheme to the favourable consideration of a general public meeting:; if, on its ma ture consideration, the measure should appear to them worthy of support. In passing a resolution, the third of the series, which we publish to-day, the Count Lara, after he has corn rounicated with a duly organised Government in Ma drid, " may rely on the zealous exertions of the Com mittee to carry his project into execution," the Com mittee will probably find they have gone a step too far. As individuals, they were perfectly entitled to give Count Lara any assurance of assistance which they might deem right ; but in their collective capacity, as a Com mittee representing the bondholders at large, they were not authorised to say that they would exert their in fluence to carry out the project until they had obtained the sanction of a general meeting. If the scheme should turn out favourable and practicable—it Count Lara be duly accredited, and obtain the sanction of the Spanish Executive, this stretch of power by the Committee will probably be overlooked. POST.—The quarterly meeting of the Court of Proprietors of Bank Stock was held in the course of the present day. when an almost unexpectedly favour• acle account was given of the state of affairs of the in stitution, a nd the usual dividend was declared, at the rate of 3i per cent. for the half year. Though u small sun] of 15,22.5/. was required for this purpose to be taken from the the " Rest," yet this fund wes shown to have largely increased, amidst all the recent dif ficulties of monetary affairs, and notwithstanding the e xpenses incurred in the arrangements with the Bank of France. Those of our Contemporaries who have have been recently amusing - themselves and the pub lic with announcements of the sales of the dead weight annuity, describing the diferent fire and in surance companies which were on the eve of complet ing the purchase of this large moneyed investment, may now have the opportunity of finding out some other equally well-founded story, and equally purport ing to come from behind the curtain of the Bank. Not only has the dead-weight annuity not been sold, but the explanations rendered this morning prove distinctly that not a particle of necessity has ever existed for its sale, the very Rest having increased, and the whole of the borrowed money having been repaid to the Bank of France. Respecting the future prospects of the Bank of England, it is to be observed that though the harvest has not yet been secured throughout the whole of the three kingdoms, yet the duty on foreign wheat bas this day advanced to 10s. Sd. per quarter, and sufficient is known of the progress of the harvest in Scotland and Ireland, that at least no extraordinary prices of grain can prevail throughout the ensuing twelve months ; nor is there the probability that foreign grain can be required beyond such a quantity as that the payment could be compassed by a re-opening of the credit with the Bank of France. So firm is the posi tion of the Bank of England considered to appear from the explanations rendered this morning, that some parties in the City have remarked that this would have been not an improper opportunity for the proprietors of Bank Stock to have requested the Ministers not again to apply, under any circumstances, for credit from the Bank of France, the lending of money by which in stitution has been so boastingly put forward, amongst the other insults towards England, appearing in the journals of M. Thiers. It is observed that there are always millions of money in Hamburgh and Amsterdam which the Bank of England could obtain from capitalists, who would be even grateful for the preference, at such a rate of interest and on such securities as those which have been given to the Bank of France. SUN.—We had no intelligence from the French metropolis to-day, hence there was a paucity of news in the City. 'The expose at the meeting of the Bank of England Proprietors to-day was considered rather more favour able, though still, as compared with the good old times of Bank monopoly, showed a great falling off. Stocks and Shares were all better to-day. Consols closed at 881 for Money, and 88i for Account ; Exchequer Bills, at .55. to 7s. prem. ; India Bonds, at 103. dis. ; and New Three-and-a-Half per Cents at 971. The Foreign Stocks have been dull, except Spanish and Portuguese, but improved in value. The former closed at 224 1 for the Actives, and the latter at 33 for for the New Five per Cents. Colombian Bonds were 22 to 22i, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents rose to 511. Shares were in request, as respects the favourite lines. ---......„ PROFITS OF TEETOTAL CORDIAL DEALERS. —...A. boy named John Maxwell, was brought up t o College street Office, charg e d with unlawfully making away with a gallon of creme de 'The Seville, a mi xture i ntende d for the use of Teetot a l ers. complaina n t of\s, was a person in the employment of Mr. White, l e d x b f o o t rd h - o str s e a e id t, f h ro is m m w a h s o te se r premises the beverage waslakeAn did not wish to prosecute. iatlion er o m f an oor D di a a r l le w y h i i n o lui w re a d 3 what Mr. White paid for the purchased in Liver_ stolen ?

Yates returned from Paris, where he has been ;some weeks on th e l oo k. ou , for novelty, on Tuesday last. it seems that the Adelphi Theatre itself has not bu been t 'touched i n t h e alterations that have been in g rogress; the a p proaches to the boxes, pit, and gallery, ana the ven tilation of the theatre, are much improved. Last week William Hindle, Thomas Bates, and the driver of Kidd's omnibus 2,601, were fined by Alder man Fa her an d Alderman Harmer, for cruelty to their cattle, and John Favell, a cab driver, 63. costs, for omitting his badge. Thomas Gibbons, the agent of the Animals' Friend Society, at Norwich, gives a sad account o f the cruelty committed at the last Norwich races. He ja w one horse there urged on so that it broke its leg, and it was in consequence immediately shot, He also states that a boy had just been charged before the Mayor and slu Captain the M y, iatter of which one for having set a d og on a cat and her • o, it tore to pieces. Th e case e 15 , we grieve to say, dismissed. THE EARL OF CARDIGAN AND THE 11th HUSSARS. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.—Abridged - from the Globe.) Mr. Harvey, about the same time with Captain Rey nolds's last letter, wrote a letter to Lord Hill. The folowing are the chief passages in this document : " Athenwum Ciub, June 4, 1840. My Lord—l had the honour of an interview with your Lordship on Thursday last, respecting my rela tion, Captain John W. Reynolds, of the 11 th Hussars, who was consigned to my friendship and protection by his last surviving parent, a charge of which his conduct has given me every reason to be proud. I have to thank your Lordship for your very courteous reception of me, and for assurances which left on my mind the conviction that the whole case between Capt. Reynolds and his Commanding Officer would be completely in vestigated by your Lordship. Captain Reynolds has since been released from arrest, and after an interval of some days there is no evidence that your Lordship's attention has been directed to anything but the insula ted and comparatively unimportant point referred by the Commanding Officer of the regiment, and to Captain Reynolds' behaviour on that point. " Knowing, therefore, as I took the liberty to men tion verbally, your Lordship's kind and paternal feel ings towards the younger branches of the army, I am forced to the belief that your Lordship is still unin formed of the bearings of the whole case My age, disposition, and retired habits, render me pe culiarly averse to every species of dissension or publi city ; but under a full view of this case, I have ad vised Captain Reynolds to make another appeal to your Lordship, and to submit a distinct statement of all the facts and circumstances under which he feels himself aggrieved. " I say all,' because, however strong individual facts may be, the accumulation of circumstances appears to me stronger. These, in my humble, but cool judgment, arc of such a nature, as if fully and fairly investigated before a General Court Martial—which I venture to submit with the utmost deference, justice requires— will completely bear out this course of proceeding. . . " My Lord, with every feeling of respect, " Your Lordship's most obedient humble servant, (Signed) " HENRY HARVEY. '°To General Lord Hill, &c., &c., &c." Mr. Harvey not having received any reply from Lord Hill to this letter, again addressed his Lordship as fol lows : " Athenmum, June 16, 1840. MY LORD,—I take the liberty of recalling your Lordship'i attention to my letter of the 4th instant, which, after having been ten days before your Lord- ship, remains, equally to my surprise and regret, un noticed, unanswered. If this be accidental, I pray your Lordship's pardon for the remark ; but though unknown to your Lordship, I beg to say, that I am a private gentleman ; have for many years of my early life had the honour to hold my Sovereign's Commission as an Indian Officer ; and that I came legitimately before your Lordship as the guardian and protector of a❑ orphan, in whose situation and prospects I am most deeply interested. " My Lord, a very small portion of the correspond ence in the affair between Captain Reynolds and Lieu tenant-Colonel the Earl of Cardigan has been shown to me at the Horse Guards, and I have now the honour, with all respect and deference, to solicit, both for my self and for Captain Basil Hall, the young gentleman's uncle, who wishes his name to be joined to mine in this request, that your Lordship will have the goodness to direct that we be furnished with all the documents touching this unfortunate affair, for our own satisfaction, and for that of the relations and friends of Captain Reynolds. " I beg distinctly to amid that Captain Reynolds is no party to this request, and that he is in no way privy to our intentions of making it. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, &c. &c. (Signed) " HENRY HARVEY. " To the Right Hon. Lard Hill, &C. &c. " Horse Guards. " P.S. As I am not resident in or near town, may I beg, as a great favour, an early reply." The following is Lord Hill's reply ; " Horse Guards, June 17, 184 C. " have the honour to acknowledge the re ceipt of two letters from you, dated the 4th and 16th instant, and to acquaint you that the case of Captain Reynolds was put into a due course of investigation as soon as it was brought to my notice, and has now been finally disposed of ; but I did not feel myself justified in entaring into a correspondence with you or any other gentleman unconnected with the army, upon a point ex clusively affecting military discipline, however desirous I may have been in this instance to have shown you a ' mark of my personal respect. " With regard to your application to be furnished with all the documents touching this matter, I beg to observe that it is not usual to give papers from the Office to any individual whatever, unless required to do so by the proper legal authority, in the regular course of judicial proceedings. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient servant, (Signed) " HILL. " Henry Harvey, Esq , Athenwurn Club." Upon the receipt of the above, Mr. Harvey addressed the following letter to the Secretary at War. We subjoin the most important passages : " To the Right Honourable T. Babbington Macaulay, Secretary at War. " Sir,—l have the honour to lay before you state ment of facts supported by every document which I can obtain, respecting transactions which have recently occurred between Lieutenant-Colonel the E irl of Car di; an, commanding the 11th, or Prinee Albert's Own Hussars, and my relation and ward, Captain John W Reynolds of that Regiment, son of the late Lieutenant - General Reynolds, a distinguished Indian Officer ; and I implore you, Sir, to exert the prerogative of your high office of Secretary at War, to do justice, and pro tect the weak against the undue exercise of arbitrary power. " I am aware of all the disadvantages under which this appeal is made. On the one hand rank, power, station, and all the influence which deservedly belongs to the high character of the General Commanding the Army in Chief. On the other, a young Officer, making most serious complaints against his Commanding Officer. The only manner in which I can meet this, is by a sim ple reference to the details of the case. " Captain Reynolds has distinctly complained of the Earl of Cardigan's conduct throughout this transaction as arbitrary, unjust, and offensive to tie feelings of a gentleman, in first sending him an improper message by another Captain of the regiment, and following up this by unbecoming and insulting language ; by confin ing him to close arrest for four days, without reporting it to head-qu'arters ; by illegally detaining him in arrest upwari'as of eight days, contrary to the Articles of War ; 'ay reporting to head-quarters that he had made a qualified concession, which Captain Reynolds denies to be fact ; and by conduct quite improper dur ing certain discussions which took place. Such, Sir, are the complaints which Captain Reynolds has pre ferred. For which, his conduct, motives, and character, have been stigmatized in a manner unworthy of an offi cer holding her Majesty's Commission to bear ; and a Court-Martial, by which alone the truth can be ascer taiaed, has been refused both upon Earl Cardigan against whom the complaints are made, and upon Cap tain Reynolds for making them. " I am told, Sir, that a prejudice is to be raised against my young friend, in that he is fractious, trou blesome, insubordinate ; that he has endeavoured to raise a party in the regiment ; that all the other officers of the regiment are cordial with Lord Cardigan ; that he has employed a lawyer, and various such insinuations. " As to dissensions in the Regiment, and the cordi ality of the Officers with the Commanding Officer, I have nothing to say , but I deny the insinuations against Captain Reynolds. If, however, presumptions from past conduct are applicable on one side, they are equally to be applied on the other. In regard to a lawyer having been consulted, I deny it, both for Cap tain Reynolds and myself. Captain Reynolds, in a very important stage of the business, when released from arrest, naturally consulted me, and I recom mended him to state his grievances to Head Quarters ; but his letter was written when at a distance from me, and I did not see it until it had been delivered in. Moreover, Sir, I am not a lawyer ; I have had the ho nour, for eighteen years of my early life, to hold com missions as an ' Indian Officer ;' and I am now on half pay, with a pension for a wound received in the earliest and not the least glorious of our noble Duke's victo ries. In short, Sir, Captain Reynolds has throughout trusted to the justice of his cause, and to his own honest heart, which is the best casuist I am told, Sir, an argument is to be raised to the effect that Captain Reynolds, having once acceded to the terms of Lord Hill's recommendation, was bound, both in duty and honour, to drop the discussion, and to forg e t all that had passed. And so he would, S.r, so he had engaged to do, honestly and without subterfuge ; but the terms were not kept with him. " An attempt has been made to cover Lord Cardigan from elle very seriou s charge brought against him, that of illegally detaining Captain Reynolds Adjutant-General in arrest up wardsTnat o w f heeignhat case days' is once reported inferiorcivart quarters. releaseß y mtrre from ta head-quarters, e ad - q u a . writes— ` r t e t e s r — s , o v r e a r n yt d u tem. arrest.' This cannot be denied, but it is denied thath head o ad a m ff s a i r n fwas the A dj reported nta n t t o . General's original thme, Commander-in-Chief affair was still in Lord Cardigan's hands, and was officially not informed of it.ornmoarndder-in-Chief power of dealing with it is also proved L by his having Ichanged the manner of the arrest from ' close' to ' ar g - I rest at large,' and also by the opening of the Adjutant- General's Y, wherein it General's letter, dated 26th Ma dis tinctly said, that Lord Cardigan, by his own authorit y, had detained Captain Reynolds in arrest. If, Sir, any doubt should be suggested to your wind of your power to interfere in an affair concern. ing the discipline of the army, I beg you to refer to Article of War No. 120, which, though sufficiently am . biguous, will adapt itself to all ease, of a Royal Duko holding the high office of Commander-in-Chief; and of a General on the staff only, commanding the Forces. " It will not fail to arrest your attention that in the present case the General at the bead of the army has neglected to do that which the clause enjoins ; viz. to examine into the case' in any legal or liberal sense of the term. And that he has done that which he is not empowered to do ; viz. he has adjudicated and finally disposed of the case,' without having reported to, and received the orders of the Sovereign. " Sir, this is matter for grave reflection, and permit me to add, for your interference, as the legitimate ad viser of the Sovereign " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your mast obedient and humble servant, (Signed) " HENRY HARVEY. " Athenaeum Club, Pall Mall, June 20th, 1840." The reply from the Secretary of NVar is as follows : " War Office, June 23, 1840. " Sir,—lt is, in my opinion, clear that the Article of War, No. 120, does not authorise me to take any step whatever in the case of Captain Reynolds, ex cept under the direction of the General Commanding in Chief'. According to that Article, which does not ap pear to me at all ambiguous, Captain Reynolds, if he thinks himself ill-used by Lord Cardigan, may apply to Lord Hill, in order to obtain justice. Lord Hill is then required to examine into the complaint, and to re port upon it to her Majesty, either by himself, or through the channel of the War-office. The Secretary at War is not authorized to make any inquiry. On the contrary, he is by implication precluded from acting, except as an organ for transmitting the opinion of the General Commanding in Chief to the Crown. This construction is, I believe, sustained by the invariable practice. Ido not believe that, within the memory of the oldest officer, any Secretary at War, when there has been a Commander-in-Chief, has ever taken upon himself to pass judgment on a question like that be tween Captain Reynolds and Lord Cardigan. " The finance of the army is the proper business of my department. The discipline belongs to the depart ment of the General Commanding in Chief. Of course the line which separates the two provinces cannot be drawn with perfect accuracy. Some questions which conceits the discipline of the army concern also the public purse. On such occasions Lord Hill would not think himself justified in acting without reference to me. If, for example, a paymaster were sentenced to dismissal for negli;ence or dishonesty, Lord Hill would not mitigate the sentence without consulting the Secre. trary at War, who is the guardian of the pecuniary in terests of the State. But the case which you have sub mitted to me is not one in which the pecuniary in terests of the State are either directly or indirectly concerned. It lies entirely within the jurisdiction of the General Commanding-in-Chief, and whether his decision be, or be not,: just, I have no pretence for in terfering. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) " T. 13. MACAULAY. " Henry Harvey, Esq." Mr. Harvey then again addressed the Commander. in-Chief and Lord Melbourne, and also Prince Albert, on the subject of Captain Reynolds's arrest. The fol lowing answer was received from Prince Albert's Pri vate Secretary : " Buckingham Palace, July 11, 1440, " Sia,—l am commanded by his Royal Highness Prince Albert to acknowledge the receipt of your letter addressed to me, forwarding copies of all the corre spondence which has taken place upon the subject of Captain Reynolds's misunderstanding with Lord Car digan, and I am to acquaint you, that had this matter been referred to his Royal Highness at an earlier stage, it. would have been his Royal Highness's duty, as Co lonel of the Regiment, to have given every considera tion to it, and to have forwarded it, with any observa tions that might be necessary, to the Commander-in- Chief for his decision. "The question, however, having been already brought before and decided upon by the Commander-in-Chief, his Royal Highness cannot interfere any further re specting it. I remain Sir, " Your faithful and obedient servant, (Signed) " G. E. ANSON. " Henry Harvey, Esq., &c., &c." Lord Melbourne also made the following reply : " Downing-street, July 16,1840. " Sir,—l beg leaee to acknowledge having received your latter of the 4th inst., with the enclosures, and remain, Sir, " Your faithful and obedient Servant, (Signed) " MELBOURNE. " Henry Harvey, Esq., Athenaeum Club." Mr. Harvey addressed a second letter to Prince Al bert's Private Secretary ; in the course of which he observed--' So deeply have these indignities wounded the minds of this high-spirited young Officer and myself, that I had advised him to claim his undoubted right of requiring that the whole case should be reported to her Majesty—or to lay his com mission at, her Majesty's feet, with a Memorial of the injuries he has received. But the assurance which I now feel from the knowledge that the whole of the facts, as far as they can lae stated in writing, are understood by his Royal Highness, and that my young friend's character and honour will be duly appreciated, has induced me to pause in that my original intention, and to place our i whole reliance upon his Royal Highness's gracious con sideration, without presuming to point out the means which his Royal Highness may think best calculated to restore Captain Reynolds to his own self-respect, or to expect any immediate interference on the part of his Royal Highness, as Colonel of the Regiment, for the reasons which you, Sir, have been so kind as to communicate by his Royal Highness's command. " I have the honour to remain, with all duty, sub mission, and gratitude to his Royal Highness, " Sir, your faithful and most obedient Servant, (Sinned) " HENRY HARVEY. " The Hon. G. E. Anson, Private Secretary, &c. " Carlton Club, July 21, 1840." SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Standard.) We rejoice as sincerely as our respected Contempt). rary of the Morning Herald can possibly do, that the life of the unhappy prisoner Garrett should have been spared, but we are not, therefore, disposed to impugn for one moment either the propriety of the remarks made by the Learned Judge upon his case, or the verdict which succeeded them. " A man fondly loving his children (says our Contemporary) is driven to desperation by absolute want, and in a state of frenzy resolves on destroying their lives and his own. He might, to be sure, have resorted to the alternative of an union workhouse, but he preferred death to the tender mercies of the Bastile system ;" in fact he murdered his children, and at tempted to destroy himself, rather than submit to the degradation and discipline of a union workhouse. This, however strung a proof it may supply of the dreadful repugnance of the poor to enter a new Poor-law bas tile, offers little that can extenuate his crime, If the desperation which stimulated him to 'murder his child, amounted, as our Contemporary appears to suppose, to insanity, a different verdict might have been expected. But as acts of premeditation were, if we remember aright, proved in evidence on the trial, they deprive the case of any such extenuation. Nay, the fact inferred by our Contemporary, that the prisoner having duly weighed the miseries inevitable from a modern work house, with the dreadful alternative he contemplated,and feeling that "separation from his children was tog dear a price to pay for the miserable pittance of a poor-house," determined to destroy them ; would lead us to believe that he acted with a degree of premeditation wholly inconsistent with the frenzy of desperation. Deeply, therefore, as we must commiserate this unfortunate man, and willingly as we admit the propriety of remitting the capital punishment (43 one of those instances in which this privilege of the Crown is most fitly exercised), we cannot but believe that any other course than that pursued both by judge and jury would have been per nicious, (From the Courier.) We noticed some days since the letter of Dr. Chal mers to the Rev. Mr. Buchanan, of Glasgow, which, for a very obvious purpose, found its way into the Tune,. We do not think that purpose has been answered. There is nothing in the letter to give assurance that there is no split among the Non-Intrusionists ; and since its appearance the Procurator of the Church has entered the field, and expressed his belief that the Church intends to repeal the Veto -law ; from which we may gather, that any attempt to do this will meet the opposition of the powerful Whig party in the Kirk, of which the Procurator is now the head. In the letter itself there is something like a " retract," when the Reverend Doctor tells his friend that nothing said by him in his last pamphlet is to be regarded as asking the Church to enter blindfold on the rescinding of the Veto, " without a prospective reference to the steps that follow." We expressed a hope, in what we formerly said in regard to Dr. Chalmers's pam phlet, " \‘, hat is the Church to do now that we had not mistaken the Reverend Professor's meaning,. We begin to fear now that we must have done so. We cer tainly imagined, that in proposing the repeal orf the Veto law, he was looking rather to the past. than to the future, as dictating the suggestion. W e undersiood him to have come to the conviction Cult the Veto was illegal ; and that consequently, like art lioncst man and good subject, he was led to propose its being rescinded, without reference to the steps that are to follow,' Let these be what they may, we imagint :d the doom of the Veto was sealed. But it would t ippear, from the letter to Mr. Buchanan, that if the Cal 1, which requires the assent of a majority, to make goo, 1 a presentation, cannot be obtained, and to which, it • would seem, the Church is to attempt returning before she seeks the re peal of patronage, then the Veto is at ill to remain the I law of tl,e Church 7 . Now, with his enthusiasm, and surely with his dear-bought exvirience, Dr. Chalmers must kr,nw well that the CAD-I.A i ha s n o ,more chance of carrying the Call through Pe,rlinnent th u a she had of gaiisiog the Veto. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1810. LAW INTELLIGENCE. SHERIFF'S COURT, GUILDHALL, SRrr. 16. HAMILTON AND GRANT V. SLATER. Mr. Hyland appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Chad wick Jones for the defendant. The Learned Counsel said this was an action brought for the recovery of the sum of seventeen guineas, alleged to be due to the plaintiffs under the following circum stances. They were the proprietors and publishers of a work called " London and its Environs," which gave a description of its particular localities, in separate num bers, and was used as a medium of advertising by the tradesmen residinr , there. Thi s wor k was a continua tion of a book called ' " Street Views," published by Mr. Tallis. The defendant was an upholsterer, residing at No, 3, Queen's - building", Knightsbridge, and agreed with the plaintiffs to pay the sum of eight guineas for two a dvertisements, and a further sum of six guineas for inserting a vignette of the defendant's premises in th e publication. The defendant was likewise suppled with 1,000 cards struck off from the vignette plate, for which the plaintiffs claimed a suns of three guineas. In support of the case he called a number of witnesses. Mr. Jones characterised this action as a gross and fraudulent attempt on his client. He should be able to p r ove, by a host of witnesses, that numbers of re spectable tradesmen in the neighbourhood of Knights bridge and Belgrave-square had been imposed on by the last witness, who represented that the work in question had a most extensive sale (50 000 copies), when it never averaged more than 300 copies. In fact, it was rather apoeryphal if there were such per sons as Messrs. Hamilton and Grant in existence at all. A host of witnesses were accordingly called. Upwards of twenty highly respectable tradesmen, in the nighbourhood of Knightsbridge and Belgrave-square, proved that they tad paid various sums, from three to fourteen guineas for advertisements in the work, on the strength of Walker's guaranteeing a circulation of 60,000 copies, but they never by any chance could see one, save those which they got themselves as subscribers. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant, with out quitting the box. CENTRA.L CRIMiNAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Matn.n and Mr. Baron ROLFE.) John Hollingswort/z, described as a surgeon, aged 20, was indicted for assaulting and wounding Thomas Smith Hollingsworth, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. Payne appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner, at the sittin; of the Court. pleaded guilty to the charge before Mr. Sergeant Arabin. Mr. Payne now said he had received instructions that at the time the offence was committed the prisoner was of unsound mind ; and he had the permission of the Learned Sergeant, before whom the prisoner had been arraigned, to ask their Lordships whether his plea of guilty ought to be recorded. Mr. Justice MAULE said, that if the prisoner was of unsound mind, he ought not to have pleaded. Mr. Gilbert M'Murdo, the surgeon of Newgate, and Mr. William Rayner, another medical gentleman, were then examined, and they both expressed their opi nion that he was of unsound mind. The Learned Judges, after consulting together, al lowed the plea of guilty to be retracted, and the priso ner pleaded Not Guilty, and the evidence was gone into. Thomas Smith Hollingsworth deposed that he re sided with his father at Torrington- place, St. Pancras. On Sunday, the Gth of September, witness was at din ner with his father and mother and the prisoner, who was his brother. The prisoner suddenly took up a glass and threw at him, and then seized a knife, and wit ness ran out of the room to escape from his violence. The glass cut him on the head, and the wound was dressed by Dr. Hunter. The prisoner had threatened to murder him on the evening before the Sunday in question. Witness gave him no provocation before he threw the glass. _ _ John Biggins deposed that he was the second husband of the p:isoner's mother. He remembered the day in question, and he remarked that when the prisoner came down to dinner he seemed like a person endeavouring to suppress his raze. He sat down for a few minutes, and then took up a tumbler and threw it at his brother, and at the same time said he would have his revenge while one of the family was alive. When he had thrown the tumbler he took up a carving knife, and witness, with assistance, wrested it from hire, and prevented further injury being done. By Mr. Justice MAULE.—Had known the prisoner for four years. By Mr. Payne.—Thought the prisoner was insane at the resent time, and also when he committed the act. Upon one occasion the prisoner said he would go to church and address the congregation, and another time it e threw up the window and called out " police," and said he would go to prison. Mr. Hunter, the medical gentleman, who had been called in, described the wound as one of a contused click \meter, and said that it might have been inflicted by a tumbler. He saw the prisoner after the occurrence, and he considered that he was not of sound mind. Mr. William Rayner deposed that the prisoner was his apprentice, and he had attended him while suffering under a brain fever. This description of malady fre quently led to insanity, with, however, lucid intervals ; and in witness's opinion the prisoner was occasionally insane. He had the strongest affection for his brother; and it was a remarkable medical fact, that affection was frequently turned to hatred, when an individual became insane. The brother of this witress gave similar testimony. The prisoner on being called upon for his defence, burst into tears and said, that when he committed the act he could not help it. He then exclaimed, " Oh, I'm sure I love my brother." The Learned JUDGE then summed up the evidence, and told the Jury that if they believed that at the time the prisoner committed the act in question, he was in such a state of mind as not to be cognizant of what he was about, or to distinguish between right and wrong, it would bo their duty to acquit him out the ground of insanity. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty upon the ground of insanity. The prisoner was then ordered to be detained until the pleasure of her Majesty should be made known re specting him. - A man named George Diamond, fifty-three years of age, was capitally convicted upon two indictments, of an offence, the character of which may not be further alluded to. The prisoner was left for execution without any hope of mercy being extended to him. (Before the RECORDER.) Timothy Sheehan, 49, was indicted for cutting and wounding Robert Hood, with intent to murder him, or to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Phillips defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor was 15 years of age, and the nephew of Mr. T. Mar tin, a lithographic printer ; in Long-acre. The prisoner had been in his uncle's service, but was discharged about a fortnight before this transaction took place. The as sault took place on the 22d of August, about nine o'clock in the morning, when the prosecutor opened the shop door to let a person out ; and when he had done so, the prisoner rushed in, and immediately commenced a vio lent attack upon him with an instrument called a bas ket -maker's knife, which is a sharp pointed iron instru ment, about a foot in length, and fixed in a handle, and with this he struck him several tremendous blows on the arm and head, and then ran away, but was pursued and taken into custody. The wounds bled profusely, and the prosecutor was for some time under the care of a surgeon. There appeared to have been no provocation for this outrageous proceeding, except that the prosecu tor had been instrumental in getting him out of his si tuation, but for which, it appeared, there was not the slightest ground. In ans wer to a question from t h e C ourt, t h e w i tness said that the prisoner made no other observation when he commenced the attack upon him, then calling him " a - heretic ;" and he added that he supposed the prisoner meant that he was a Protestant, the prisoner, who is an Irishman, being a Catholic. The evidence of the prosecutor was corroborated by other witnesses ; and it also appeared that the prisoner had borrowed the tool in question of a basket-maker named Higgins, on th e same m orning the assault was committed. The Jury On cros s - exam i nation the w i tness es stated that the prison er appeared to be either ma d or di uuk, at th e time of th e occurrence. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character. the pros ecutor, v.ith intent to d o him some grievous bodily harm found th e prisoner guilty o f an assault u p on ; and the Recorder sentenced him to be transported for fiftee n years. Charles Mitchell, twenty-three, was indicted for steal ing, a gold watch, eh ' &:e the property of Mary Anne Iver s . atn, " l'hc prosecutor was the keeper of a brothel in York square, Regent's Park, and she lost the watch in question on the 15th of August. On the 29th the stolen watch was found in the pos session of the prisoner. The Jury found the risoner Not G uilt y . The G ran d Jury h p aving concluded thei: l a b ours, made a communication to the Court to :oat effect, and at the same time made a presentrue , ;;,, expressing their high opinion of the efficacy o r the New Police, and clear and excellent manner they gave their evi- Gr ' a r n li d e 1 1 1 . it said he was glad to find that the dence. ~r ary concur re d i n t h e o pinion that had been so r e rently expres se d by other Juries. file Grand Jury were then discharged.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Mr. Jones, the restry-clerk of the parish of St. Ste phen Coleman -street, applied, upon the part of the parish, to the Lord Mayor, relative to an Irishwoman named Mary Piunket, who had, with two of her chil dren, been a burden upon it for a considerable time ; and although she had no claim, could not be prevailed upon to remove, but was determined to stay, and still further to increase the pauper population of the neigh bourhood. The LORD MAYOR observing that the woman was a person of a very clean and decent appearance, asked whether she had a husband Mr. Jones said that the parochial authorities under stood, from what she had stated to them, that she had a husband in Ireland, although, no doubt to suit her own views, she now denied, or rather doubted, that she was a married woman. At all events, she occasionally lived with a man named 11PLochlin, who was a labourer in England, and by whom she had two children, who had been supported in the parish of St. Stephen's Cole rAan-street, and two who were in the parish of Shore ditch. There was, as a matter of course, no settlement for her or her children in England. The LORD MAYoß—Certainly not, if she has a hus band in Ireland. Mr. Jones stated that he had taken her examination at considerable length, and entertained not the slightest doubt as to her having been married in Ireland. INPLochlin, the father of her children, would willingly marry her if he thought she was single, according to her own account, but she would not satisfy him on that par ticular. In the meantime she was an intolerable burthen to the Union, and had already cost upwards of lOW. in one way or other, and would become a standing nuisance if not sent to her own country, or if the parish were not exonerated from the charge. The Union, he was authorised to say, would not only send her to Ireland, but give her money to put in her pocket, fur her assist ance upon her arrival there. Mary Plunket said that she could not think of going to Ireland, as she had neither friends nor acquaintances there. The Loan MAYOR—You have got your husband there. Mary Plunket—l don't know any thing about him. He was never a husband to me at all. I don't think I was married to him at all. The LORD MAYOR—What do you mean by not being married to him ? Mary Plunket—Why, it wasn't done in a chapel, whatever was done, was done in a room. The LORD MAYOR—Do you mean that the marriage ceremony was performed in a private room ? Mary Pluuket—l do, my Lord. The LORD MAYott—Well, what then ? The mar riage was not illegal on that account. The priest was at liberty to marry you in a room. Mary Nunket— But sure I don't know t hat he was a priest at all. How do I know what he was ? The LORD MAYOR—Oh, you knew very well what you were about. Mary Piunket—Sure nobody knows anything at all about it. There's no proof, no witness ; besides we were not married with a ring. The LORD MAYOR—Was there not a ring put on your finger ? Mary Plunket—Not at all. We had no such thing as a ring. So that, for many reasons, it was no marriage. I had only a room key put on my finger, and it was taken off immediately after. The Loan 11IAvott—No doubt the priest was a judge of his business. The ring of the room key had as much efficacy as any other ring ; but certainly they have odd ways of doing many things in Ireland. Mary Plunket —I can't go to Ireland. The man I have lived with is able to support me and his family when he is in work ; but he is now out of employment, and that is the reason I trouble the parish. Mr. Bradfield, the Relieving-officer of the parish, said that the woman made a mere convenience of the parish. She and M‘Lochlin had (been lately together, and he suspected that the consequence would be another addition to the family. The number of Irish with which the city parishes are of late troubled, ex ceded any influx ever before known, and the fact was that if women like the woman before his Lordship were not discountenanced, there would be no support for the legitimate claimant for parochial relief. The Rev. Mr. Day who visited the Union poor, had distinctly stated that he apprehended much danger from the ex ample of Mary Plunket, to the young women who were unfortunately dependant upon the parish bounty. Mr. Jones—l offer her, upon the part of the Union, not only a passage to Ireland, but money The LORD MAYOR—My good woman you had better accept the offer.. If you do not the consequence may be very bad to you. Mary Plunket—l won't go, I am sure. The LORD MAyoft—Then you must get the father of your children to support you and them. Mary Plunket—l'll look to the parish. I'm sure I won't go to Ireland. Mr. Jones—Under these circumstance?, my Lord, the Union will neither receive her into the poor-house nor relieve her any further. The Loan MAyol.—l cannot at all blame them:; she has no claim whatever upon the Union. Mr. Thomas Collins, who it will be recollected charged two notorious thieves named Sarah Jones and Mary Brown with having robbed him of a bag contain ing about 231. in gold and silver, waited upon the Lofty MAYOR to thank his Lordship for the scrupulous man ner in which his Lordship had investigated the case, and at the same time to express his regret that he had been induced by the attorney to allow the prisoners to plead guilty, by which indulgence they had received a measure of punishment not at all proportioned to their guilt. . . The LORD MAYOR said that he felt convinced all through the investigation, that the women did not utter one word of truth. His Lordship never heard evidence more satisfactory than that given by Mr. Collins, and in his behalf by the other witnesses, and never saw women who deserved more to be made examples of than the two prisoners. Mr. Collins said he lamented that the two women would be let out upon the public in a few months, al though they deserved to be put away from society altogether. The LORD MAYOR—I must not say anything about what took place elsewhere ; but I sent them there from this room, perfectly convinced that the Central Crimi nal Court was the place in which they could best be done justice to. BO TV-STREET. Two well-dressed young men, named _Frederick How and Wm. Bosward, described in the police sheet as clerks, were yesterday brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with committing an indecent assault upon Mrs. Emma Dempsey, the wife of a surgeon residing in Hot born, under the following circumstances : Mrs. Dempsey being sworn, said that on Wednesday evening she went to the house of a friend to supper, where her husband promised to call for her, but he could not, in consequence of his being unexpectedly detained at borne on professional business. On leaving her friends, and when within eight or ten doors of her house, observing three men, one of whom was sober, and the defendants, who appeared to be in. ebriated, she stepped aside towards the kerb -stone to avoid them, as they stood on the footway pavement. when the defendant How attacked her in a most inde cent and improper manner, by taking hold of her person, which caused her to strike him as severely as she was able with the umbrella she held in her hand. He swung he round two or three times before he would let her go, and she continued striking him to extricate herself. Mr. JARDINE asked if she made an alarm, or spoke to him as to the improper manner in which he was acting ? Witness said that she repeatedly desired he would let her go, and upon his doing so, the other defendant took her by the arms, and pinioned her till she nearly fainted from exhaustion, while the third person stood by laughing at his friends' conduct, and reminding her that he took no part in the insult that was offered to tier. The policeman then came up, and she gave the defendants in charge. Mr. JARDINE—Have you ever had any acquaintance with either of the defendants? Witness—l never to my knowledge saw them before. The defendant How asked how it happened that he was not the first person given into custody, if he com mitted the first offence ? Mrs. Dempsey replied that when the constable arrived the other defendant was nearest to her, and she instantly gave him in charge. John Hood, a working man, proved that on his re turn home he saw the defendant Bowood holding up the lady's arms, with both his hands, threatening at the same time to give her in charge, while she conti nued striking him with her umbrella to extricate herself. Mr. JARDINE—Did he appear to to be taking im proper liberties with her ? Witness--I did not see him do so, but be was holding her very tghtly to prevent her striking him. Mr. JARDINE—Did you hear any words pass between them ? Witness—None, except when the defendant said he would give her in charge. The defendant Bewood—You distinctly heard me say so, when I held her by the arms ? Witness—Yes, but I did not see the other defendant do anything. crms!able Field, 126 F, sa id t h a t a b ou t half-past eleven o'clock, hearing the noise he went up, and the complainant told him she had been assaulted by Bowoud. The other defendant was standing by a door at the time, and she gave him in charge also for assaulting her. Mr. JARDINE—Were they sober? Witness—They appeared sober ; and on being charged, they walked quietly to the station-house. The defendant How said he was intoxicated, and re collected nothine; of the occurrence except when the complainant struck his friend with the umbrella. He was sorry for what had happened, and had he been aware of having co mmitted such an offence , he mi g ht have gone away before the constable came ur. The other defendant declared that he never laid his hands upon the complainant until he saw her striking his friend, and on attempting to prevent her she as saulted him so violently, that be said he would give her in charge. Mr. Dempsey said that his wife's arms were seriously injured from the ill-treatment she had received. Mr. JARDINE said that any person . could easily per ceive from the history of the traasactloh that the worst part of the charge was the indecent manner the com plainant had been treated, and it was a very serious mat ter if a respectable female could not walk the streets unprotected without meeting with such insults. The defendants had certainly cond acted themselves in a very improper manner, but the habits of town, and the immo rality that unfortunately prevails, might have led to the occurrence, and it was his duty to impose such a fine as would prevent a repetition of the offence. The defend ant How should therefore pay a fine of 3/., and as his companion was only endeavouring to prevent further in. stilt, and did not participate i❑ the indecency shown to the complainant, he might be discharged. The defendant having paid the fine went away. ADULTERATION OF BREAD. " That the adulteration of bread," says the writer of a useful paper in the September number of the Cie?hist, " is carried on in the metropolis and other large towns, to a most serious extent, cannot, for one moment be doubted ; indeed, the circumstance that there are, in this branch of business, which manufactures the chief com modity of life—(which,if deficient, admits ofno substitute) —two distinct classes of tradesmen, viz.—one called "full-priced bakers" from their selling bread at the regu lar trade price, and the other " cheap" or " low-priced" from their selling it at a low rate—naturally leads to such inference." The writer, however, says, that the low-priced bake: s account for their price, by alleging " that the reduction is dependent on their keeping no men to carry out the bread." The adulterations, ac cording to the writer of this paper in the Chenzist, are of two kinds, noxious and innoxious ; the former are such as may, by repeated action, become injurious ; these are alum, sulphate of copper and zinc, chalk, plaster of Paris (sulphate of lime), and bone dust. Alum may be detected in bread by treating it with distilled water, filtering the liquor thus obtained, first through calico, and then through blotting paper, till it is quite clear, then dividing it into two portions, into one of which is to be poured a few drops of nitrate or muriate of baryta, and into the other a few drops of liquid am monia. Chalk, plaster of Paris, or lime dust may be detected by incorporation of the bread containing them, and treating the ashes with nitric acid, which will dis solve the chalk with effervescence, and the plaster of ' Paris and lime dust without. In each of these cases the lime may be rendered evident in the solution either by oxalic acid, or in preference by oxalate of ammonia. The innoxious adulterations are chiefly inferior flour, rye flour, and also that of bran, peas, and potatoes, substances which, in possessing less fecula that wheaten flour, are very inferior in their nutritive properties, and therefore their introduction into bread is a fraud on the public, which requires the strictest vigilance to pre vent, and should be punished by the highest penalties when detected. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES.-WEDNESDAY EVENING The St. Leger settling took place this morning at the betting-rooms, and went off much in the old way—a great deal of money changed hands, and a considerable sum was left unpaid. There were one or two absentees for small deficiencies ; but on the whole things went off quietly. It would have been different had Gibraltar or Maroon been the winner. The losers on Crucifix appeared to be a little sore on the subject, and some complained that the declara tion ought to have been made sooner, forgetting that they had laid out their money with a well-understood risk, and at odds which never would have been obtained had there been much probability of her running. In fact, nine out of ten backed her simply with the idea that she would see a better day in the odds, and enable them to hedge to a profit. They lost their money with their eyes open. The assertion in a weekly paper that she was not amiss on the day of the declaration is groundless ; she actually broke down with both fore legs, and the one that had pre viously been sound is now the worst of the two. To re turn to the settling:—Scott': party arc not by any means large winners. They laid large sums against Ma roon, and at the last moment were obliged to back him on bad terms, and lay off part of their Launcelot money, strong doubts having been entertained whether his off fore leg would stand. The backers of Maroon are not a little mortified that the declaration to win with the " crack" should alone have prevented his winning ; for that lie was the best horse in the race seems to be the opi nion of nine out of every ten who saw it. Some of the betting men are good winners ; but except in one or two cases, the balances arc moderate. The racing this afternoon excited very little interest, and does not call for any lengthened notice. It came off as follows : Sweepstakes of 200 sous. each, h ft ; for two.year-old fillies, Bst 3lb each. Red House in. (3 Subs.)

Abraham Newland went front to the gravel road, where Juvenile passed him and carried on the running to the distance. The Trumpeter colt then went n-head, but was passed by Alonzo and Abraham Newland half way up it. A fine race between the two, and was won upon the post by half a-head.

Second heat-6 to 4on The Shadow, and 2to 1 agst Humphrey. The race was confined to these two, the horse leading to the stand, where the mare went up and beat him cleverly. The weather was cold and wet nearly the whole of the afternoon, and the company thin ; the betting, as of old, was carried on in the principal room of the stand, greatly to the annoyance of the ladies. Eleven o'clock, Wednesday Night.

(Further Particulars of Tuesday.) To take up the thread of our preliminary, which was broken by the railway people detaining our second parcel. On the breaking up of the betting ring in town a general move was observable, and, after ruining the gauntlet of " How many will start ?" and " Who's to win ?" in every imaginable variety of dialect, we reached the course in time to select a comfortable berth—not in the betting in_ closure, for that, as we have stated before, was a decided failure—nor in the balcony on the first floor, which was chiefly devoted to the fair sex, and which commands an excellent view of the race from the start to the final struggle. We cannot say that the assemblage was in any respect equal to what we have seen at Doncaster in ize " high and palmy state," nor was there so much :excite ment as might have been expected, albeit there was a goodly show. Besides some hundreds whose names we were unable to ascertain, there were present the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, Marquis of Normanby, Marquis of Titchtield, Marquis of Westminster, Earl Fitzwilliam and the Ladies Wentworth, Earl Spencer, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl of Wilton, Earl of Scarborough, Earl of Eglinton, Marquis of Clanricarde, Lord and Lady Mil ton, Lord G.

Mrs:Anson; and all the gentlemen whose names were given before. The following are fuller details of the sport : Cleveland Stakes. —Betting-5 to 4 agst Sleight-of- Hand, 7 to 4 agst Dr. Oliver, and 3 to 1 agst Orelia. Bolus made the running, followed by Orelia and 6mollett, to the distance, where Sleight-of- Hand went up, headed them in a few strides, and won cleverly by a length ; be was ridden by Scott.
