NEW BAILEY COURT-HOUSE, MANCHESTER.

A case was lately heard, which excited the strongest feelings
of pity and commiseration in the Court. A young married lady,
of very respectacle connexions, was charged with stealing from
the shop of a draper in this lowa, bur pieces of lace, of the va-
lue of 51. It appeared that on Saturday she went into the shop,'
and asked II look at some late. After examiniog all the eantents

A PUFF, OR A NEW WAY TO lILIND A HUSBAND.

At the Thames Police Office yesterday, the following singu-
lar case ewe before the sitting Magistrate, J. C. liroderip, Esq.
The Parish Officers of Shadwell attended to bind a boy about
ten years of age, au apprentice to a sweep. The youth had
been for some time on trial with the gentleman of the black
cloth, and liked his business, and Slaty Bob liked his appren-
tice ; all appeared ready, and the parties in the office, when the
parish officer pointed out the master, decorated in clean array,
and the apprentice ; but the Magistrate said, No! the parties
were not all present, he had not seen the parents of the youth.
Here confusion, and apparent difficulty arose ; the officer
begged the Magistrate to transact the business without the
parents bring present, and if he would look at the boy, who is
free of the city, and question him, he felt assured he would see no
apparent necessity ; but the Magistrate said No I he would
not break through a general rule; he was long pressed,
but without avail. The officer then said, the fact was, the
child was of respectable decent parents, but illegitimate ;
and since the birth the mother had married into high
respectability, and her husband was totally ignorant
of hew ever having had a child, and she could not have time to
at•end the Office without his knowledge, which would create
discord; though he said she had been in the workhouse, and
to the sweep, to see the boy; he strongly requested the Magi-
strate to proceed without the mother, that profound secresy
might be kept; but no surely, says the Magistrate, if the
person of so high respect can place her illegitimate son is the'
workhouse, and from thence bind him to the trade of a e.ins-
, sty-sweep, and in, both places visit him, most undoubtedly
she can attend the office, and be examined in a private room.—
Tile worthy Magistrate being inexorable, the officer retired
with his charge.

We understand that at a Common Hall of the Cor-
poration of this town, on Wednesday last, it was re-
solved,
forthwith, to make several hundreds of hono-
raty freemen, principally ma-residents, as a means of
counteracting, if possible, the ascendancy which liberal
opinion is evidently obtaining over Corporation influ-
ence. We have long been aware that Toryism was on
the wane in this town ; but we confess we did not ex-
pect to hear so candid a confession of the fact, as what
is conveyed in the above stated determination. Among
others, we hear, the whole regiment of the Leicester-
shire yeomanry cavalry, with the Colonel at their
head, are to be invited to partake of this honorary dis-
tinction. What the resident inhabitants of the Bo-
rough may think of this species of dragooning, it re-
mains for circumstances to show. For ourselves, we
have no fear of the result.—Leicester Chron.

The Hampshire Telegraph says—" There appears
to be no longer an/ doubt that the ships about to sail
under the command of Sir EDW. OWEN are intended
as a reinforcement of Sir ODA RLES Row LEV'S squa-
dron at Jamaica, for the purpose of being► employed
in taking possession of the island of Cuba, should
Spain be forced into a war with France. The French
have a small squadron of ships (including one line-of-
battle ship) at Martinique, whose intentions it may
possibly become recessary to thwart. Should the
deprecated event not take place, and Sir CD et KLEs
Row t.xy wish to return to England, Sir EDWARD
OWEN may, in that case, hoist a broad pendant, and
assume the command of the station for the next three
years."

On Thursday advice% from Madrid, dated the
evening of the 11th inst. were received by au extraor-
dinary conveyance. Nothing remarkable had trans-
pired ; there had been no disorders committed either
on that or the preceding day&

According to a report made by the Political Chief
of Cuidad-Real, it appears that the troop of Zaldivar
has been attacked and routed at Porzuna. Amongst
the dead was found one, which is thought to be Zal-
divar himself.
The Viscount de Zhiteatibriand arrived here yes-
terday (Friday) morning: at six o'clock, from Verona.
He was present at a Council of Ministers held at
noon. , It is natural to believe that he then made his
report on the last conferences of the Congress, and
that he communicated the definitive determinations
which have been come to.
It is affirmed that the syndics of the exchange
brokers having presented themselves to his Excellency
the Minister of Finance, to solicit from him some in-
formation on the real state of things ; M. deVillele re
plied, that the present situation of Europe required
great circumspection on the part of speculators. It
is added, that his Excellency disavowed all participa
Lion whatever in the articles of the Journal des Debats,
which had been attributed to him by several journals.
—Quotidienae.

There was a soirée last evening (Friday) at the re•
sidence of M. de Villele, President of the Council of
Ministers : M. de POTZO di Borgo, the Russian Am-
,ltesseder, and Lord Wellington, were present. His
Grace set off this morning (Saturday), at four o'clock,
for London. The Noble Duke was indisposed at the
moment of his departure.—Journal des Debate.
On Thursday afternoon M. the Count de Villele,
President of the Council of Ministers, and the Duke
de Montmorency, successively transacted business
with the King.
M. the Count d'Esterno, brother-in-law of the for-
mer Grand Esquire (Caulincourt) of Bonaparte,
died two days ago. M. d'Esterno (nominated a De-
puty to the Chamber by the department to which we
owe the electien of MM. Foy and the Abbe de Poen-
bieres) belonged to the Coti gauche. His death will
necessitate the convocation of the Grand College of
the department of l'Aine.
We admire the force of reasoning, and the pro-
fundity of the views which distinguish the political
breviary of the Journal des Debats. One of thecon-
siderations which, according to this Journal, ought to
prevent us from exterminating the revolutionists of
Spain is, that in admitting the success of the expe•
dition, these bandits would take refuge in Portugal,
where they could not, in conscience, refuse to receive
them, and that thence they would constantly labour
to disturb the tranquillity restored to Spain. And
who told you, prescient politician, that the Royal Go-
vernment of Spain, reinstated in its legitimate power,
could not find means to preserve herself, and in-
sure peace to her subjects ? Who told you that the'
revolutionists, driven from Spain, would find in a
neighbouring State an asylum, wherein to act with
impunity ? War once declared, must be decisive.
From Spain to Portugal the journey is not long. What
will be found beyond ?—the sea.— Dropeau Blanc.
It is almost useless to say that the Etoile of yes-
terday (Friday) evening, contests the reasoning which
the Journal des Debats published in the morning in
favour of peace. if the partisans of peace enjoy their
career in the morning, the partisans of war revenge
themselves in the evening. It might he said, that all
this is a comedy, in which each plays the part as-
signed to him. Since the Ministry appear to be
amused by it, the public have only to forget what it
costs them, and also to be amused. The Etoile seems
to reproach the Journal des Debats of favouring spe-
culation in the stocks. The Journal des Debats is
enabled significantly to answer the Etoile, and to
point out to it certain official editors to whom are im-
puted the warlike articles, and who profit of the de-
cline of the funds which results from them. How
little soever these gentlemen pride themselves in this
game, there will, perhaps, result for the public ex-
planations mere curious than edifying.—Courier
Francais.

The last letters from Verona announce that the Em-
peror of Russia will not pass through Vienna on his
return to his dominions. This Prince will proceed
immediately into Lithuania, where he will inspect a
part of his at my, and thence to his capital.
Marshal Davoust is dangerously ill.

TOULOUSE, DEC. 14.

The Regency, which departed on the 7th from
Perpignan, arrived on the 9th at Toulouse. The
Archbishop of Tanstatiowa remained at Roussillon.
The ulterior intentions of the illustrious voyagers are
absolutely unknown : if conjecture may be more
or less hazarded, it is presumed that they propose to
return to Navarre; but the situation of that province
allows but little credit to such reports. We have said
in our preceding immix's that it is probably on the
eve of experiencing the unhappy lot of Catalonia, as
General Ton itiJos is about to take the command of a
division of the Constitutional Army, and to march into
Navarre with fire and sword.

GERMAN PAPERS.

TRIESTE, DEC. 7.
important news from Hydra of the 23d of November
has arrived here, which will be heard with interest in'
Christian Europe. The heroic Greek seamen, in their
slight mercantile vessels, had followed the great and
Turkish fleet to the neighbourhood of Tenedos, and
there saw, with impatience, the enemy at anchor, with
the intention of returning to Constantinople as soon
as permission should be received. The same sailors
who had caused the melancholy fate of the Captain
Pacha, offered, in their enthusiasm, to make a second
similar attempt. The Admiral gave his permission,
and 17 brave Greeks, headed by one MEIAL,Lii.
whose name will one day be illustrious in history, ap-
proached the great Admiral's ship at :even o'clock in
the evening of the 10;11 of November, with fire
ships. The people on board this Colussus al-
ready apprehended the approaching misfortune,
when MEIAULY, with his own hand, threw combusti-
bles into the fire-ships, and hastened the explosion.
The success was brilliant. The Admiral's ship, with
the Captain Pacha, on board, and 2,500 men, was
blown up. Two frigates began to burn. The Turks
were thrown into confusion, of which the Greeks tool;
advantage, and took a frigate of 36 guns, undamaged.
Thus, in the course of this year three Captain Paella,:
have perished (one of them died of the plague). Tile
last, as Christian journals affirm, was very skilful.
having served under the celebrated Captain Packs
Husserx, in Egypt, at the time of the English expe-
dition, 24 years ago. Extraordinary rejoicings took
place at Hydra on this occasion ; their joy was still
greater, because the welcome news was brought by
an English corvette, which had hoisted the Greek flag
along with its own. Lord STRANOPORD, who is now
here, sets out the day after to-morrow, for Corfu: The
policy of the English appears to have quite altered ;
at least the Greek blockade is at length recognized by
them.

Direct accounts relative to the latest events at Con-
stantinople have not xet reached Belgrade. The
Paella has no fresh couriers from that city, but has
received news by way of Nissa, respecting which he
observes total silence. Private letters from Nissa, of
30th November, are however here, which say that a
Tartar had arrived, who had only brought accounts
stating, in general, that there were great disturbances
at Constantinople and Adrianople, that the party of
HALE? Effendi was overthrown, and the Janissaries
acted as masters. It is remarkable that, according
to these accounts, the enraged Janissaries at Adria-
nople had murdered the Mufti MAN and all the adhe-
rents of HALE?, but no Greeks.—Allgemeine Zeitien.9.
