MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

PLATE ROBBERY BY A BUTLER.—Sansuel Browne was
brought up for final examination, charged with having
stolen a large quantity of plate belonging to Mrs. Mansfield,
of No. 51, Grosvenonstreet, in whose service he had been
ellarre butler.
Mansfield said the prisoner had been in his mother's
service for about five months as butler. The prisoner war
discharged a few weeks age, in consequence of being found
one afternoon in a state of intoxication, and also because it
was discovered that a considerable quantity of wine had been
abstracted from the wine cellar. After the prisoner had
quitted the house, the plate, which had been In hie care,
was examined. Alamo quantity of plate was ascertained to
be missing. The articles consisted of spoons, forks, a silver
cup and cover, silver teapot, silver teakettle, =dither candle-
sticks, altogether in value exceeding 1601. Information was
given to the police, and Police-sergeant Gray was employed
to trace out the prisoner and the property. The constable
soon succeeded in apprehending the prisoner, and in dis-
covering the greater part of the missing plate to be in the
hands of the pawnbrokers.
The constable also ascertained that the prisoner kad,so me
years back, been in the service of the late Lady Capel, of
Chester-terrace, and that he had been guilty of stealing 2001.
worth of plate, but was forgiven by his meist. The pri-
soner had also obtained the situation of butler in Mrs. Mans-
field's family by means of a false character. The constable
further discovered that the prisoner was in the habit of
driving about in a tandem with a person named Jones as his
livery-servant, and it was in consequence of the fashionable
figure he made that he succeeded in imposing upon the
pawnbrokers, and inducing them to take In valuable pro-
perty with a crest upon it.
It appeared that since the robbery in question the prisoner
had addressed a long letter to Mrs. Mansfield, wherein he
made use of the following language :—" I pray that your
natural indignation at my conduct may give place to that
heaven-born virtue, mercy, and that your pillow may here-
after be solaced by the reflection that you bad the power to
destroy a guilty servant, but that you stayed your hand, and
afforded him a chance to become a reclaimed and reformed
man." _ . .

It; defence, the prisoner said he only borrowed the plate,
intending at a future time to replace it.
He was fay committed.

UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL.

CAMBItDOI.—Mr. Archibald Sandeman, of Queens' Col-
lege, calls our attention to a paragraph relating to it, which
appeared in the Daily News of the 14th. Mr. Sandeman
says—" I believe I am the mathematical tutor referred to.
I should sufficiently answer the correspondent wko commu-
nicated the article by simply denying that the person to
whom he refers was my pupil. But, to prevent any ambi-
unity in the matter, I may state that in the capacity of col-
lege tutor I occasionally give private militant* to men whom
1 vinsider likely to reap advantage therefrom, and who, by
reason of limited means or on other accounts, are prevented
from having private tutors. In this way I did help the indi-
vidual referred to, in common with other men of his year,
but in no other way." Mr. Sandeman is anxious that this
ezplanation should go forth to the public.

Wright, shepherd to Mr. Wych, of Poetised Fen,
has recently been married, and he has ls. dd. SI

child, the mother of which resides at Crow land. A few lo
days since a bottle of milk was brought by the carrier for the
child, end • enp full of it was instantly drunk by an aunt of

once turned very sick, and said " she felt as if her flesh was

then Ids is a state between life and death ; for two or three 30
dare her skis was perfectly black ; she is now however expected e.
to recover. It appears that she took an over-dose of the Fa
poison, and to that alone the safety of her life con be attri-
bated. The carrier received the bottle of milk from a boy, who 20
stated that it was given him to take to the carrier by • V

wife, who it is supposed grudged the le. 61. which her hus-
band had to pay, and tried to relieve him from further pay-

Sodding, and the case is deferred for the present until it is
seen whether the child's aunt lives or dies. Several per-
sons were invited to tea at the hones the same afternoon that
the milk wee sent, and bad the discovery not been made in

BERLIN, JULY 21,
The results of the indirect elections, so far as they

MARRIAGE§ BILL.

On the consideration of this bill as amended being moves,
Mr. OOULBUItN intimated to his right boa. friand (MS.
S. Wortley) that he would not offer any opposition to
the bill being passed through this state, if his right hem.
friend would then consent to withdraw it. If, however, A.
right hon. gentleman persevered in passing the bill through
the further stages, he would adopt every means of oppoalag
it that the forms of the house would admit.
Mr. S. WORTLEY said that he was anxious to have the
report wandered this evening, in order that it m;ght be
put on the paper for a third reading this session,
but attar the statement of his right honourable
Mend he considered that it would bo fully in
him to hope to carry the bill this session, as he under-
stood that it was her Majesty's intention to lease for
Ireland in the course of next week. He would, therefore,
adopt the suggestion of his right hon. friend.
After a few words from Mr. R. PALMER and Mr. LAW,

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The Trident, Hamburg steamer, arrived in the
river early yesterday afternoon. Captain Morriss
reports having passed the Danish squadron at the
month of the Elbe. The British brig Derwent, of
Sunderland, and two British schooners had been
warned off. The Trident passed several vessels run-
ning for the Elbe.
The Hamburg Mindels Zeitung, of the 20th inst.,
mentions that though the ratification of the treaty
was generally known at Copenhagen on the 16th,
no intimation of the fact had appeared in the Gazette
up to the 19th, and the conditions were not generally
known. Oa the 17th it is stated in the Barren-Halle
there was some sharp fighting in the Bay of Kiel,
between the Schleswig-Holstein gun-boats, supported
by a s earner, and the Danish line-of-battle ship
Skiol. Several were wounded on both sides.
Our Hamburg correspondent writer, on the 23th,
respecting the tasks of Denmark and the Duchies, as
follows :
The Schloewig Holstein Assembly, at their secret
sitting, and in a subsequent public sitting,
adhered unanimously to tho lbgency's letter
to Count Brandenburg, declaring that the duchies
cannot accept the armistice. The Assembly also
paned a vote of thanks to the Brunswick Chambers,
who have requested their government not to sign the
armistice, and to leave its troops at the disposal of
Sohleswig-Holstein. The blockade, if all goes right,
is to be raised in about 12 days; in the meantime the
Danes take vessels wherever they find them.

The first public meeting of this society wag held
yesterday evening, at the lecture room of the Western Lite-
rary Institution, Leicester-square; CHAS. Lrsumarox,
Esq., M.P., in the chair. The lecture room was crowded to
excess.
The CHAIRMAN explained the object of the meeting.
Mr. G. 1117GGE FT then proceeded to read the report of
the provisional committee appointed on the 14th of May last,
which explained the working rules of the society, and read
letters from Sw Ds Laq Evans, !L.P., W. Scholefield, Esq.,
M.P.. Sir J. Welmeley. Lord Dudley Stuart, Col. Thomp
son, M.P., and W. J. Fox, M.P. ; who all expressed their
sympathy with the object of the meeting, and their regret
at not being able to take part in the proceediogs.
Mr. W. OESSIN moved the first resolution :
" That freehold land societies are highly beneficial, as •
mesas of elevatiog the moral and social condition of the
community ; as • profitable inveatment of the savings of the
industrial claws ; and as a grans of enabling its members to
acquire political independence."
Mr. R. R. MOORE seconded the resolution, and observed
that during the close of the free trade agitation, be had
&Made fifty two great meetings for the purpose of explain-
ing to the people the necessity of obtaining the means of be-
coming county electors, and therefore having taken to Much
interest in this question, he viewed with peculiar
satisfaction the movement which wee now progressing so
favourably. (Hew, hear.) To convince them of the ne-
t:mite of effecting a change in the representative system, he
would mention the contest for the representation of South
Lancashire, where one of the first merchant, in the county,
and one who was well qualified to fill the position of mune
ber of parliamen was nominated in opposition to Mr.
toroth'. The rest, ult was, that the fret trade candidate was
rejected ; not beaus' he bad not the gympathy of the mit
majority of the people of South Lancashire, but beeaum
their names were not on the register. The result ef that
dation had proved that they must courier* the people et
the suessity of en extension of the franchise, if they wished

Oa the motion that this bill do peas,
Mt. REYNOLDS said he wished to know from the hon.

poscd to add to t►e bill.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL Isla that the bill provided
for the distribution of 6,0001. on account of the parliamen-
tary expenses of the Dublin Improvement Bill, and as no
provision was made for the apportionment of 1,6001. to the

clause to have that omis' sioa rectified.

Mr. REYNOLDS said that notice should have been given

SYMPATHY WITH THE HUNGARIANS.

On Saturday, a public meeting of the inhabitants
of weetioiosiu, was held at thrinville's Hotel, North-street,
Westminster" on behalf of the Hungarian reluxees at Folke-
stone, and for tr're purpose of expressing the sympathy of
the people of Eng land in the cause fur which Hungary is
now struggling."
DANIEL MALLt'tCK, Esq , M.A , was called to the
chair. He related the circums•ances which have compelled
these Hungarian 'oldie."' to take refuge in this country, and
stated that the object of the fund which they were endea-
vouring to raise win to send them back to their native land
to fight for its iudependen le. He concluded by en earnest
appeal in their behalf to tle 3 meeting and the British public
at large.
Mr. WRIGHT moved the first resolution, which was u
follows :
That this meeting feels the deepest sympathy with the
Hungarian nation in its pr-sent .strug&le fur liberty and in-
dependence."
Mr. THOMAS Me ENTERIC asconded the resolu ion,
which we. carried unanimously.
Mr. HUOGETT moved,
" That a subscription be now enters. into for the Pewee
of assisting the Hungarian r, fugue in 1 Ingland."
He said they should net only egitare fur the support of
the poor refugees at Folkestone, but in t avour of the great
cause itself. A large subscription would be the best way to
show that they did not disregard the Kenn al question—that
was, between civilization cud barbarism. if they had, as
no doubt they would have, many such in, es inga as the pre-
sent, the government might be induced to intertere in a
