I'OLICr:.

GUI I.DIIAL.
A commitment for fraud of a very ailutsry nature took place at
this office yesterday. It has generally been held that where a per-
son parts with his goods or money under a false pretence, if the
fraudulent representation be not aided by the production of some
false order or token, the statute will not reach the offender, and that
where a person submits to be gulled by a verbal misrepresentation
—a mere naked lie—the law will not afford him redress, Kid cover
his want of ordinary caution. In the consideration of the case of
yesterday, however, as well as in another which occurred last week,
the old definition of a false pretence was cast aside, and it was held
to be legally, as we all know it to be in fact, a false representation,
no matter whether made in writing or by word of mouth, or merely
understood, without being actually made at all ; as where a dis-
carded servant takes up goods, as though he were still in his former
master's employ, carefully avoiding the use of that master's name..
Jams Stnith. a countryman, dressed in a smock-frock, was
brobght before Mr. Alderman A sBLE r under the following circum-
stances :

' iilr. Seth NS offal' has very recently opened an oil-shop in Gilt-
spur-street, and being from home one evening about three weeks
ago, the prisoner came in with a bundle of heath.brooms, contain-
ing two dozens, and stared to Mr. Worrall's sister, who had the
care of the shop, that he had brought home the brooms according
to order, and requested that he might be paid for them. Miss
Worrell replied, that she was not aware that any such order had
been given, that her brother was not at home, and that he might
leave the brooms and call for the money on a future day. The pri-
soner remarked, that he had come a long distance with these goods,
but he must take them back again if he could not have the moo.
Upon hearing this Miss W. asked him what sum he demanded?
The prisoner stated the value of the goods to be 10s., and Miss W.
paid him Bs., desiring him to call again for the remaining 2s.
When Mr. NVorrall returned, it came out that he had never ordered
the goods, and that the brooms for which the prisoner had de.
mended 6s. and received 4s. a dozen, were sold in the trade for
Is. 6d., and even retailed to the public at 2s. a dozen. Notwith.
standing the glaringness of the imposition he had practised, the
prisoner called again on Tuesday morning last to solicit orders,
but he tonic no notice of the balance of 2.5. lie was immediately
recognised, and given into custody. Ile strongly denied that he
was the man who had committed the fraud, but asserted that he
very well knew who it was.
Mini Worrell, however, being quite positive as to his identity,
the Alderman deemed the case a fit one to go to the Jury, and
committed the prisoner for obtaining the Be. by false pretences.

Mfr. XICO.

The fcllowing intelligence was received yesterday:—
Mexico, SEPT.

M. Altman, tincting his duties as President of the United
Mexican Company interfere too much with his public duties, has
been obliged to resign as Minister of Foreign Affairs. No event
could have been more regretted, for no man is more respected here
for ability and integrity, Ile is succeeded by M. Gainacho, of
Nahum said to be a very able and respectable man. However, the
mining concerns have nothing to regret in this change, as it must
enable M. Alaman to give hit attention more exclusively to them.
The epidemic, with which we have been visited here, is fast sub.
siding. In public matters all is quiet, and money getting every day
more plentiful.
VERA CRUZ, SEPT. 25.
On the 23d, the Castle sent a flag of truce, offering to enter into
terms if this Government would allow them to send an officer to
flavannali to learn the real political state of Europe and Cuba—
when, if they turned out to be in the situation represented in General
Barragon's letter of the 22d, they would deliver up the Castle on
an honourable capitulation. General Barragon answered yesterday.
Raying, too much time would be lost in a voyage to Havannah and
beck, and unless they resolved on accepting of honourable terms
immediately, he should commence operations with the squadron
now lying at Saeraficios, which will be fully provided in the course
of four days. It has been reinforced by the arrival, a few days
since, of the 4 t gun frigate Libertado and the sloop of war Bravo.
The latter spoke a fishing-boat °tithe Havannah, from which he
learned that preparations were on foot to send supplies to the Castle,
and that a squadron would shortly sail to convey them. IVe are
all prepared for its appearance, and our naval force Is anxious to
try what the Spaniards are =decor, confidently anticipating a suc-
cessful re.ult. _ _

It would appear, by the following extract of • letter from the
Agent to Lloyd's at Falmouth, dated December 5, that hostilities
had actually Commenced between the Spanish and Mexican
squadrons:—
Arrived his Majesty's ship Jasper, In 61 days from Vera Cruz,
and 76 (torn llavannah. She left the Spanish and Mexican
:igasdron3 inaction, the latter commanded hy Captain Smith r and
It was fully expected in warner t would be forced to surrender. and
ill.* consequence would be, the capitulation of the Castle of St.
Juan d'Clloa immediately."

GENERAL ELECTION.

Exert/I.—Mr. Tyssen has published an address to the
'Exeter electors resident in London, stating the success he
met with in his late mugs, and requesting them to meet
him on Monday next, at the Coach and Horses, St. John-
square, Clerkenwell.
TAUKTON.—Though Mr. Baring ha q retired from

opposed' to any such arrangements.
CbUNTY OF LIME/WK.—The Limerick Evening Post
says, "from undoubted authority" that that county will be
contested at the ensuing elution by a gentleman of exten-
sive influence and fortune. _

approach of a general election. Lord Duncannon has ad-
dressed the county of Kilkenny in favour of his brother,
Mr. Ponsonhy, now absert.
COUNTY or Motiacilaw.—A new candidate starts for
the county of Monaghan, in the person of John Shirley,
Esq. a large proprietor, but who, until within these few
years, had never visited his great possessions in this
country. Mr. Shirley is described as a man of spirit and
liberality.
CouNTY or CAVAN.—In Cavan the parties appear to be
very active, and the struggle in this county promises to be
memorable as regards the Catholic Question.

Under this title a selection front the best productions of the
French Dramatic writers is now in course of publication.
Each Play is elucidated—
let. By appropriate Arguments at the heed of each scene, to un-
ravel the plot, as well as develops the subject, characters, and va-
rious incidents throughoui the piece.

arrest the progress of the young student.

Id. By grammatical and critical observations, in which will be
interspersed occasional remarks upon the beauties of the style and
conceptions.

The Drama, that exquisite and invaluable portion of French lite.
rature, cannot fail to present to the young learner many perplexities
far beyond the coroprthension of his immature judgment. By the
different illustrations that will be given, it will be the chief object
to render his path easy and pleasant, and to untold the beauties of
the scene, which.ntight otherwise lie unobserved or unregarded.
The pronunciation may be grettly improved and facilitated by a
recitation of well.chosen pieces; by this wears the memory will be
enriched with lessons of morality, and a correct judgment and taste
will be inculcated.

As the selection will consist of each plays as are performed in
the theatres of France, it is hoped that the work may prove a useful
companion to English visitors of the French metropolis, or mind.
pal towns, whose imperfect acquaintance with the language might
preclude them from participating in the enjoyment of scenic enter.
tainmente.

The selection will embrace the high and dignified character of
tragedy, as well as the refined sad spirited elegance of the conic
muse. great pains will be taken to combine pleasure with utility,
the arguments and notes will be written in an easy style, and the
dryness of observation avoided as much as possible.

POLICE.

I%IaiIIOY•ROCSE, SEPT. 20.—A boy named ,xa/beg was
brought before the Lono .I.llaYon, charged, by a fireman in the
scrstce of the Globe Assurance Company, ender the following
circumstances:—

The complainant, in passing, along Tharoes.street, was bitten
just above the heel by a sort of bull-dog. As he had given no pro.
vocation to the animal, he apprehended that the wound might be
fatal to him, and he was anxious to get hold of the dog, in order to
learn the extent of his danger, by ascertaining whcthcr it was mad.
Several persons who saw what had taken place, called out to hint to
cut the dog's throat. He had no knife, but was accommodated
with one by a friend, and having opened the blade, he. was deter-
' mined to do as he was advised. The doe, Immediately after the
mischief was done, ran to the defendant for protection, which was
*forded, and the fireman endeavoured in vain to get hold of It, and
attacked It knife in hand, but with no other eff.:ct than that of ex-
asperating the animal to the highest pitch of fury. As the fireman
made one plunge with the weapon, he was seized by the thigh by
the dog, and two worse wounds than that he at first received were
the consequence. His alarm for his life increased greatly, and he
caused the defendant, who appeared to be the owner of the dog, to
be taken into custody.
The defendant declared that he was not the owner, and gave the
address of the person to whom he said the dog belonged, to the Lord
Mayor. He also stated that the dog was perfectly quiet after the
attack had been made, anti that it never showed symptoms of hy.
drophobia or of any other disease.
The complainant, who seemed to he extremely fearful of the con-
' sequences of his wounds, hoped the Lord Mayor would order the
dog to be given up to be destroccd. He knew, he said, two young
men who had died of hydrophobia, and the manner of their death
was terrible.

The Loan 31sxost did MI in hi% power to remove from the poor
fellow's mind the dread of so horrible a disorder.

The complainant shook his head. The two
_persona whom he
saw die had been bitten just as he had been. Tile dog that de-
stroyed them snapped at them from under a cart, and hid no
mptom of madness about him, neither did he ever show any, and
still they went off in agony.
The defendant was discharged.

MIDDLESEX SES'IONS, Sim 20.

• UTTERING COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
WM. Summer, and Matilda Harery were indicted as utterars of
counterfeit money.
Mr. Mackie, the landlord orthe Vine, In Broad-street, Ratelitre-
highway, deposed that on the 19th of July, the male prisoner en-
tered Jima house and called for a grass of gin, for which he tendered
half-a-crown, and received the change. Soon after his departure
witness discovered the half-crown to be a bad one. On the 23d he
Again called, accompanied by the female prisoner, and asked for a
pint of ale, which witness served him with, and was tendered
another bad half-crown in payment for it. Witness then gave
them both in charge. In answer to the. questions put toliim
by the Court, the witness stated that he was confident of the iden-
tity of the male prisoner, as his attention had been particularly
called to him on his first visit, from the circurnataneaof his haring
asked after his family in a familiar manner, as if he had been melt
acquainted with them. Ile did not give him into custody imcosoi-
ately on his entering the house the second time, as he was curious
to see whether he would attempt to pass another piece of base coin.
' Mrs. Mackie corroborated her husband.

John Lemming, constable, took the prisoners into custody, and
searched them, without finding auy base coin an their persons. fit
then took them to the watchhouse, and placed them in different
cells, and shortly after he overheard the woman say that she had
got a bad half.ctown, which they had not found out. Witness then
entered the cell, and Ow a further search, found a base half.
crown on the person of the female prisoner, and which he now
poduced. . .

Verdict Guilty.—Sentenced to six months' imprisonment.
A number of other prisoners were tried, and convicted, for si-
milar offences.
London, England, 1825-09-21

OBSTRUCTION AND ASSAULT OF AN OFFICER.

Win. St.), ey was indicted for an assault on Henry Wellan, the
beadle of the Court of Requests for the Tower Hamlets.
Henry Wellan deposed, that on the sth of August he had a war.
rant of distress intrusted to him to be executed on the goods of the
defendant, and he accordingly went to his boost on the same day
for that purpose, when he found him asleep. His wife awoke him,
and apprised him of the nature of witness's business, when he got
up in a violent passion, and commenced breaking all the furniture
in the room with a poker. Witness remonstrated with him, and in
return was himself struck several blows on the arms and shoulders
with the same weapon, and was glad to escape out of the room to
avoid the prisoner's fury.
Other witnesses confirmed the latter part of this statement.
Verdict—Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN, in pronouncing ,judgment, remarked on the
aggravated nature of the offence ; but in consideration of his having
been In prison some time, sentenced him to only one month's
further imprisonment.
John Waken:: was found guilty of assaulting J. Nathan, one
of the headboroughs of Whitechapel.
Mr. Nathan, it appeared, had attempted to disperse a mob, who
had collected to witness a tight in that neighbourhood, and in so
doing, was most violently assaulted by the prisoner and others, not
yet in custody.
The COURT sentenced him to be imprisoned for four months and
kept to hard labour.
The Grand Jury having finished their labours, applied to be
permitted to visit the House of Correction in Cold Bath-fields.
The CHAIRMAN at once assented to their applicatioa.

has every appearance of continuing so. The squadron was pre-
raring for a cruise. The Victor was to leave immediately, fur
England direct.

Corps were landed from the transports in the harbour, and march-

HORSE-STEA LING.

LA.SIDETR-STREC:7:SEPT:iiiiiOlrlal .1 OOPS, a gromn, in
the set'vice of Mr. Prosser, the proprietor of the King Harry's
Head public-house, Globe•road, was placed at the bar upon the
following charge :—lt appealed that on last Friday night the held
of ill r. Thomas Cooke, of Braintree. in Essex, was entered, and
two valuable mares, that gentleman's property, stolen. On the
following morning a person was despatched by Mr. Cooke, who, on
his arrival in town, gave informatinn of the circumstance at this
office. By the directions of the Magistrate he was accompanied
by Foster, the officer, in search of the property. After esaniining
several places they at length succeeded in discovering one of the
horses in the stables of the prisoner, which stables he rented from
Mr. Prosser; they asked him to account for its possession, and he,
amongst several evasive answers, said the horse had been in his care
for some days.
The prisoner in his defence denied all knowledge of the transac-
tion, and said that a young man whom he would again know
brought two horses to his stables on Saturday morning, one of
which he rode away, and the other he left in prisoner's care, telling
him that he would shortly call for it.
The MAGISTRATE a,l:ed Mr. Prosser if when he took the pri-
soner into his employment he brought him a character.
Mr. Prosser replied not.
The prisoner was discharged on his master becoming security for
his appearance when required.

TdR GRERZt.

The :lusts ian Observer of Sept. 8, contains `accounts
froM Constanti,:oplc of 231 Auguat, received by express.
It contains also, front the Sretattnr Oriental of the 17th
August, a letter from Napoli di Romania, dated August 4,
which gives the particulars as quoted In the French pa-
pers of the resolution of the government at Napoli to seek
the protection of England. The Austrian Observer adds
the following note :
" In communicating this articled the Oriental Spectator,
we content ourselves to-day with assuring crtte readers that
all the accounts contaiacd in it are fully confirmed by the
letters which we have ourselves received direct from Napoli
di Romania.

A new scene in the Greek insurrection has opened.
What could not fail to happen has happened : the depu-
ties of the Philhellenic committees are•at variance with
each other and with the insurgent government, in the same
manner as the heads of the government differ with each other
and with the chiefs of the several tribes of the Peloponne-
sus and the islands. Our impartiality commands us as
historians to wait for somefurther information before we
attempt more minutely the various elements of the present
chaotic state of things. Whether the mixture of so many
heterogeneous ingredients, whether the transferring to
Greece of the passions, and consequently of the errors
which party spirit brings forward in these times of fermen-
tation in Christian Europe, have promoted and served the
cause of the Greeks, or whether they have not, on the con-
rrtry, tended to its entire ruin ? This is a question which
will not and cannot long remain without solution. As soon
las we ourselves see clear enough to be able to furnish au-
thentic materials for the history of the day, we shall
step forward boldly and firmly, as we have constantly
done since the beginning of the troubles in the Fast,
without regard to a generally diffused system of imposi-
tion."

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, SETT. 20.

'i illlam Machie was opposed by Mr. CoolE, on behalf of se-
vend creditors, on the ground of having given an undue pre-
ference to his brother.

Mr. HEATH appeared for the insolvent.
The brother, in his examination, stated, that in the year 1823,
the insolvent had occasion to borrow from him the sum of :rm. to
enable him to carry on his business. This the witness lent him on
the security of a warrant of attorney, on which he had entered up
judgment, and got into possession of available assets, to the
amount of 2ill. on which he offered five shillings in the pound.
Some of the creditors accepted the composition, but others did not.
The Cotter thought the insolvent had done all in his power;
and as it appeared to have been a bona fide transaction between the
insolvent and his brother, he was entitled to his discharge; which
the Court, therefore, ordered forthwith.

SCHISM IN Tile BIBLE SoCIETY.—We understand,
that the disapprobation which some of the Subscribers to
the British and Foreign Bible Society have expressed with
regard to the circulation of the Apocrypha, in those parts
of the Continent where the inhabitants are unwilling to
receive the Holy Scriptures without that appendage, is by
no means universal among the friends of the Institution.
Manv persons who are themselves most thoroughly satis-
fied that no divine authority attaches itself to the writings
in question, yet, considering that the principle of the Soci-
ety is not to determine for any people what books are
canonical, but to circulate the scriptures in every nation,
in the form in which each nation has been accustomed to
receive them, are of opinion, that whatever may be said of
the propriety of the measure, it is at least not Inconsistent
with the rules of the Institution to allow foreign churches
to connect the Apocrypha with the Bible, if they see fit so
to do. We are further informed, that the consideration of
the whole subject has been intrusted to a Special Commit-
.
tee, consisting of some of the most respectable Members of
the ,society, from whose piety and judgment there is reason
to hope, that such a decision will ere long emanate as will'
be generally satisfactory.—Gluaceste• Journal.
AUDACIOUS Rosazay.—At Lichfield race-course on
Thursday, just as the horses were coming in in the third
heat for the Gentlenaeu's Subscription Plate, a well-dressed
man snatched an elegant reticule from the carriage of
Mrs. Beardsworth, of this town, and put it into his list, at'
the same time, with the greatest impudenc.:, staring Miss',
Beardsworth full fir the face. The ladies immediately
called out to the bystanders to secure him ; but owing to
the noise and bustle produced by the horses just coining up
to the winning-post, they were not heard, and the villain
escaped. The reticule cost SI. and contained Yl. in silver,
awl home articles of vial' value,—iiirriaincitam Journal.

COROKERr INQUISTS

Sttockixo Aectaxtres--An Inquest was held at the Middle-
eel Hospital, on the body of an elderly female named Elizabeth
Mead, who was employed by a gentleman named Pitt to take ears
of a house in Little Howland-street.

- .
It appeared that the deceased hod for some time past became
rather impaired in her faculties, but performed her avocations
regularly. On Saturday last, while occupied in sweeping the
house, she by some means lost her footing, and was precipitated
from the top to the bottom of a flight of stain; she fell upol her
head. Immediate assistance was rendered her, and she was tkkea
op in a state of ir.sensibility, and carried to the Middlesex Hos-
pital, where every medical assistance was rendered her. On exa.
mination, the scalp of the head was found divided to some extent,
the skull injured in one or two places, and the vertebra of the neck
we also nearly dislocated. She lingered in a state of stupor for a
short time and expired. On examining her clothes a sum of money
(it was stated 451.) was found, stitched in her gown and petticoats.
The deceased WM of very penurious habits, and was supposed to
be extremely poor.
A verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned.
_ _

Another inquest was held before the same Coroner and Jury, on
the body of a male child named Young, who was acsidentally
killed by a cart passing over it in High Holborn.
A similar verdict to the last was returned.

AI an instance of the lateness of the last season in some
quarters, there is to be se,:n in the valley of Strathera,
Soodanti, a large quantity of beans still exposed in the,
fields.
