We Understand that the Police are in active pursuit of
this miscreant. W hear, on authority that we deem re-
4„.ctible, that that are several serious charges against him.
It this be true, there can be little doubt that justiee must
speedily tereitake him, for he has no means of escapo. Ile
has neither money nor friends to assist him in his flight.
Various rumours are of course afloat about the active pur-
suit of the police after this criminal. One is, that he is
suspected of the murder of the Rev. Mr. Colton ; another,
that he can give some account of the mysterious disap-
pearance of Mr. White. What degree of credit may be
due to both, or either of these rumours, we do not know ;
but the quarter from whence we received the information
is so respectable, that we have every reason to believe the
officers of justice arc making strict cud diligent inquiries
after him.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
REPORTED Ammer or Pantie ay.— Last evening the
inost intense anxiety was excited, in consequence of the
prs •val lice of a report through the metropolis that the
above individual had been taken into custody, on suspicion
of having a knowledge of the extraordinary disappearance
of 31r.White, the ironmonger, late of Regent-street, which
place that gentleman left about two years hack, since which
period no tidings have been heard of him. It was also'
widely promulgated that he was acquainted with the
mysterious absence of the Rev. C. C. Colton, of which so
much has lately been adverted to. Considerable credit
was given to the report, it being well known that Probert
hail some acquaintance with Mr. White, through a per- ;
son named Beard. On this account public curiosity'
was afloat to ascertain the authenticity of the statement ;
and I:timberless persona, amongst whom were many sport-
ing characters, and frequenters of the •• hells" of the west'
end, visited all the police-offices, and made anxious in-
quiries of the officers connected with the establishments as
to the accuracy of the report ; and nut feeling at all Bads-
tied with the answer they received, which was generally'
" Probert is net in custody here," thinking that his arrest
was ordered by the Magistrates to be kept a profound
secret. Several actually repaired to the relatives of Mr.
White, to whom they applied for information, but could
learn nothing to gratify their curiosity. ll'e were, in conse-
gnome of the currency of the report, induced late last night
to allay the interest that had been occasioned, by making
every possible inquiry into the num r at every place where
it waslikely that information could be afforded. The re-
sult of our exertions was that Probert, who had been living
since his acquittal at a public-house in Lambeth, but the
exact one we could not learn, was not to be found, and that
the police officers were certainly en the alert for him. We
also ascertained that Mrs. White, soon after her husband's
mysterious departure, went to reside with her family, which
consisted of three girls and a boy, the latter about 13, at
No. 4, Upper John-street, Golden-square, but is now
cc-
sidin,: in t'amileti Town, where she keeps a respectable
preparatory school for young ladies. The house formerly
occupied by Mr. White is No. ae, Quadrant, and is now
in the possession of 31r. Tapster, furnishing ironmonger.

MYSTERIOUS I)ISAPPEAR•NCE or MR. WHITE.—!
Mealy two years NCO Mr. 11'hite, of the Quadrant, by Regent.
street. smith to his Majesty, to the tatonislituent and consternation
of all his friends and creditors, suddenly disappeared ; and all the i
inquiries that have since been made respecting him, in every pos-
.ll.le direction, have been vain. His friends, creditors, and others,
hare never been able to obtain the remotest information, or the
r.iost trifling hint, respecting him. He was in an excellent way of
business, and was well circumstanced. The last trace or know-
ledge of him was, that he left home for the purpose of going to the
Board of Works, to receive 61101., and that he did go and receive
such 0001.., not what became of hint afterwards, what course he
took, never could be ascertained. There were sonic rumours that
he had gone to Liverpool fur the purpose of proceeding to
America ; and his creditors gut Mr. Beard (a man who had exten-
sive dealings about ball. &c., with Probers and Mr. White's bro-
ther-in-lawt to go to Liverpool in search of Mr. White. Mr.
Beard immediately on his arrival announced such fact ; but five
days afterwards he wrote, and stated that he could learn nothing
"Lout Mr. White. The creditors next sent Mr. IVliite's fore-
man's non. Saunders, to Liverpool and its neighbourhood, on the
like errand ; and lie issued placards, and circulated them through-
out Lancashire. &c., foe the discovery of his master. The day
afterwards a man went to Sounders, acid said, that for 301. Mr.
‘i* bite should be prodoesid ; that he was concealed in Liverpool.
The offer was accepted—but the man never more presented himself;
nor could he afterwards be discovered. It may be needless to add,
that nothing could be heard of Mr. White, though Saunders re-
mained some time longer at Liverpool, lee. To enable the cre-,
dittos to get possession of the property, Mr. White was made a'
bankrupt, and eventually outlawed—the proceedings being elinilar
te these In stir recent, sod aho mysterious, case of the kegs 4.1. U.
Colton. Some Magistrates (amongst others, those of Bow-tureen
have afforded all possible aid to discover Mr. White, or to procure'
some titling' of hint. Recent events have given rise to fresh and
alarming surmises. 117 r. Beard, whose respectability is known, is
raced to be one of the individuals who was enured into tzansisetiona
with Probert. Mr. Beard, by his relationship to Mr. White, bad
facilities of knowing that individual's affairs and proceedings ; and
he might have incautiously mentioned, in the presence of Probert,
or of some of Proben's party, the nature of Mr. White's visit to
the Board of Works. That might account for the sodden and
nijiteriouselimppearance of Mr. White ; at least such is the sue_
none amongst his friends and creditors, since the transactions that
bare come to light in consequence of the murder of Mr. 11"eare.—
Ltrning Pular.

Placards are posted in the Metropolis, describing the
person and attire of Mr. Pierce, the Solicitor, of Bristol,
whose extraordinary disappearance we have before noticed,
and which has excited the greatest sensation in the city
where he resided. Mr. Pierce was partner in the highly
expectable firm of Palmer and Pierce, and nothing that
yet transpired has been capable of accounting for his
Apprehensions of the most awful and distres-

%nue ire entertained by his family and friends.

"A
4" ".1. RELIEF OF TOE POOR.
—......—_
Last evening the annual general meeting of this Association took
jii4 plat at ..London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill. Itacirman
Cr. • (dnunberlain of London, in the ('hair.
The tit the List year was read, which set forth that during
the last year seventeen thousand three hundred and thirty-one
bushels of coals, and two hundred and thirty-nine thousand nine
hundred and seventy-four pounds of potatoes were vended at re.
duced prices, to three thousand six hundred families. The num-
ber of individuals computed to have received the benefits of the In-
stitution amounted to eighteen thousand. The Committee pledge
themselves that from personal investigation they knew of whole
families having been saved from destruction by the advantages it
emit-erred. The society professed to make a distinction between
the industrious am', the idle and profligate poor; and concluded
I by recommending the Society to the patronage and support of the
public at large, on the Hollowing grounds :—While it issues two of
the most important articles of life, and of the best measure and
quality, it calls forth the co-operation of the poor, to purchase
them with their own earnings at reduced prices. The Subscribers
are their own almoners, and the whole of the funds are employed
in promoting the immediate object for which they are contributed.
While the Society, moreover. benefits the poor, it dues not degrade
them, and a blessing is shared both by the giver and receiver. '
A statement was subjoined to the report, of the expenditure of
last year, which shewed that the aervices which the Society rendered
in the last twelve months were equal to those of any former year.
Although the meeting of last evening was announced as general,
few persons beyond the members of the Committee attended. The
resolutions were moved pro forma, by Members of the Commit tee.
They principally related to the appointment of Akers of the In-
stitution for the ensuing year. Mr. Clarke and the Rev. Isaac ,
Saunders were requested to continue as President and Vice-Presi-
dent for the yrar 'lei. The Committee consisted of (we believe)
precisely the same members last year, and from the manner in
which they appear to have discharged their duties., the re-appoint.
ment of them n (we think) cakulisted.to give satisfaction.
- Mr. Intt.r., in proposing the second resolution, bore testimony
to the extensiveness of the exertions of the Institution, and of the
benefits it conferred on society. As an instance of its utility, to his
I own knovdedge a women, with nine children, front Paddington,
j had rxeived material benefit and relief from the advantages which
it held forth in the cheapness of its provisions. Ile could enume-
rate other instances of may persons coming from remote pans to
receive the relief which this admirable institution administered.
This gentlenian proceeded to enumerate various instances of dis-
tress and of aid administered which came within his personal
kilos ledge.
3lr. St MMONs said, that the advantages of this Society consist-
ed principally in giving to the pour full weight and full measure
both of potatoes and coals, at one-third of the price fur which they
could get :hem elsewhere. This was, independent of other advan-
tages, an important benefit in itself. There may have been sonic
abuses in the manner in which the purposes of the Society had been
carried into effect.; they were, however, few, and it would be the
pleasure and duty of the Institution to prevent their recurrence.
4 Ile concluded by moving a vote of thanks to the Reverend Isaac
j Saunders. ,

The Rev. Gentleman briefly returned thanks.
Mr. Si 111 estin moved the Committee for the ensuing year.
An expession of regret was manifested in the course of the
evening that the advantages of the Society were not snore
generally known to the public. In consequence of the igno-
rance in which it wa. stated the public were placed with respect to
the principles of the Institution it was suggested and agreed upon
that a copy of the Report should be published in the daily pa-
pers, in order to make the citizens at Large more generally acquaint-
ed with the advantages of the Institution.
pka were then voted to the Chairman.
lere?al subscriptions were announced.

The CIIAI4MLI subscribed tet guineas.
The Meeting then adjourned to the 24 of January, 1825, unless
convened meanwhile by a general call of the subscriber:.

THOMPSON a. )(ACUSON/.
This was an action to recover the tom of 1441. ffd. for goods
made to the order of the defendant. The plaintilf is a camp
ciolipage 'tinker in long-acre. The defendant is a foreign military
officer, known to the literary aced political world for his Narrative of
the last days of.loachim 3lttrat, the late King of Naples.
Mr. GASELLE stated the case. The defendant, he said, had
come to this country some time since to enlist officers in the service
of the Spanish Constitutionalists; am!, while so employed, he had
ordered camp equipages of the plaintiff to the amount sued fur.
The plaintiff, knowing nothing of the means or respectability of the
defendant, had stipulated that he should give his hill for the
amount, indorsed by Mr. George Smith, a tailor in the neighbour-
hood. On this condition the goods were made, and part of them
taken away by the defendant. Smith, however, aftetwards refused
to indorse the bill. The remainder of the goods, therefore:, lay in
the plaintiff's shop at the defo•Jant's order; and this action was
brought to recover what was due to the plaintiff, who had fulfilled
all the conditions on which he had agreed to make the gotels.
Richard Seymour sworn—l am in the employ of the plaintiff.
Towards the end of October the defendant called upon my master,
and said he wanted to ship sonic camp equipage, for which he
offered to give a bilL The plaintiff said he had no objection to a
bill respectably indorsed. The defendant said be would give him
references as to his respectability,-and wroSeisswa three names, one
of which was that of 3lr. George Smith, of Iseicester-square. lie
called afterwards, and Mr. Thompson said he would take a trill if'
it was indorsed by Mr. Smith. I went to Mr. Smith, and he said
he certainly would accept the bill. Mr. Thompson then put
.the
order in hand. In the 4th of November Colonel Marirone called
sod saw the goods ; he approved of them all, and wished to dram
the bill at four months, to which the plaintiff consented. Colonel
Macitone took away with hint a carpet hag and tarpaulin cover;
he said be would let the rest remain in the plaintiff's care till the
kill was accepted. The plaintiff drew the bill, and I went with it
to Smith, who refused to indorse it; he also refused to say where,
the defendant lived. . . . .

Uross.examined—The plaintiff would not put the order In hand
without security. %%lila the defendant took with him was worth
between too and three pounds. lle did not say that he wanted the
equipage to take with him to Spain. lle never complained that it
would be useless for him beitause so long delayed. lie was arrest-
ed at Ramsgate, and raid lIL to the Sheriff's officer as payment,
and costs of the goods actually received. The plaintiff, after in.
quiri9g of those to whom reference had been given, said that he
would not trust defendant. _ .

Hannah Thompson, the sister of the plaintiff stated, that late
on the evening of the bth of November, Smith culled on her bro-
ther, and refused to intone the bill.
Mr. SCARLETT then addressed the Jury for the defendant.
When they bean! the evidence he should call, they would be sa-
tisfied that Colonel Macirone had been hardly dealt wi.h. The
answer of the persons referred to was, that they would trust him
to any amount, because they had trusted him, and he had always'
acted most honourably. The truth was, that the credit was given
to the defendant alone. The plaintiff proposed the acceptance of
Smith, and himself asked for it ; but the plaintiff' had declined to
make the request. The goods were not rarely, and were never'
delivered. After the defendant had actually 'ailed, an officer had
been sent after him to arrest him. He was arrested, and brought
a.shore.

The bill drawn by the plaintiff, and a not, of the same date,
Nov. 4, 1822, addressed to the defendant at Nu. 21, Southampton_
row, were read. [The note stated the dottOt whether Smith would
indorse.l
George Smith stated, that die defendant's servant, Seymour,
called upon him in October, and asked whetbet Colonel Macirons
was worthy of critlit ? Witness said he had paid him large sums,
and that he would give him credit to any amount. At anotber
time, Seymour asked, in the plaintiff's mane, whether whams
would become security P Wilness said he was bound so do arty
tiling that Colonel Illaciron• asked him to do for him. Seymour
afterwards presented a paper for witness to sign promising to
indorse a bill. Witness refused, because Colonsl 31aci.-one did
not ask him to do it. Witness, in a conversation with the plain-
tiff; said he would not indorse the bill, for fear its circulation might
injure hint. The plaintiff said it would not go into circulation;
but witness refused, because the defendant lied not requested him.
After the defendant had left London no tie Bth of November.
witness called upon plaintiff for the name of the person who was
to ship Col. Mactrone's goods. He gave " Mr. Laing, Si- Mary-
at-Hill."
Cross-examined—Seymour called thrdi tiros. —l'he plsfntiß did
not remonstrate that he had accepted the order en the faith of his
security. Witness was bankrupt in 1820; 21, Southauiptun-row,
wan the defendant's attorney's address.
Cornelius Bird Fisher stated, that he recollected the plaintiff call-
ing upon witness's uncle, Mr. Andel!, lace-manutiouter, fur the I
defendant's credit; witness, in Mr. Audell's absence. said lie might
trust him ; the plaintiff said he was quite mashed, and would cer-
tainly give hint credit.
John James Caine remembered Colonel Macirone leaving a bill
'with him, with instructions to give it to the plaintiff as soon as he
should have the goods which he had ordered ready to be shipped ;
the bill was accepted on witness's desk by the Colonel. The plain-
tiff called on witness and applied to know whether the Colonel had
sailed, and by what ship. IVitness gave the name of the ship, and
referred him to the broker for further infonnation. He said lie
made inquiry in order to know whether he was in time to ship the
goods, and said it' he could not by that vessel he would by the first
vessel he could, but lie thought he would be in time for the Good
Falconer, in which the defendant sailed; he said he would then
come for the bill. _ . .

-.
Crass-examined—lle asked witness to see the bill ; he certainly
did not oak whether it was indorsed by Smith. It was shown to
him. The last time witness saw the Colonel was either on the
6th, ith, or Bth of November; he saw the plaintiff a day or two
alley.

An office copy of the affidavit of the plaintiff, upon which the
defendant was arrested, was put in. It was dated the Bth Novem-
ber, 1822, and stated that the defendant was justly indebted up.
wards of 1411.

Hannah Thompson was recalled for the plaintiff—Smith called
on the bib and said he would sot indorse the bill. Th om peon re-
monstrated, and said he had executed the order on the faith of his
security.
Mr. Sc MILE TT contended that the last witness must be mistaken
in the date, from the note of the Ith November to the Colonel,
doubting whether Smith would indorse. and from the form of the
bill, which was drawn by the plaintiff to be accepted by the de-.
fendent.
Mr. GASE LET, in reply, maintained that the evidence of Sey.
mour was unshaken, and suggested that • the conversation with
',sine, about the shipping, was only a pretence to find out where
Mapcirone was, in artier to arrest him if the bill was not indorsed.

The Loao'Ctn►:v JUSTICE iiiiiii the question for the Jury to
consider was, whether the goods were made on the assurance that
the plaintiff should receive a bill indorsed by Smith before the
