young man named Chariest Griffith, running out of Gwynn'a.build.
toga with some bundles under his arm. He for that time escaped,
but upon the robbery being discovered, Watts mentioned what
he saw to Morris, an officer of this establishment, who. from the
description, knew the prisoner, and went about the neighbourhood
in search of him, and. after considerable inquiries, found him at the
Pontefract Castle, in Chapel-street, Liason.green. Ili took hint into
custody, and found all the stolen praperty, with the exception of a
counterpane. sheet, and shirt. lie had some skeleton keys also in
his pocket. Upon being secured, he said, •• I am sorry I robbed her,
as site has b:en kind to me from my infancy." lie then desired the
officer to go to Haystack-lane, Ed ware-road, where the counter-
pane was concealed. Morris found it under some shavings. The
shirt and sheet the prisoner said he had given away to a man, but as
he was in trouble himself, he would not bring any body else into it.
The prisoner was in tears during the examination, and begged
.Mrs. Frewin to be lenient with him.
Mr. Frewin applied to the Magistrate in the prisoner's behalf ;
but the worthy Magistrate said that he could not, under all the cir-
cumstances, discharge the prisarier. Be was therefore committed to
Newgate, and the prosecutrix,was recommended to prefer her ap.
plication to the Judge on the trial.
STANLEY DE COIJEICEY IIIYLAND.—The valet to Mr. H.
Martin, M.P., applied for an order to see Stanley de Courcey
Ireland, stating that he had applied on Sunday at the prison for
that purpose, but was refused admission.
Mr. RAWLINSON said he knew that on Sunday no visiters were
allowed, but on any week day he would obtain admission.
The valet bowed, and said he would go immediately. Ile had
scarcely turned his back, however, when a gentleman named Cava-
lier also applied for an order to see Ireland, as he suspected lie was
the same person who some time since had played oft' a trick upon
him, by passing a bank of Bristol note for 5/. the bank from which
it had originally issued having stopped payment some years before.
Mr. Rawl-lir:sox desired him to comae to the office on the next
examination.

PROMPT PAYMENT.
Among the many advantages obtained from the improved sys.
tern of business, none are more apparent than those resulting
from the formation of Establishments on a scale of such magnitude
as to combine the advantage of the Purchaser in the Reduced
Price. with the profit of the Proprietors, small in detail, but from
the extent of sales and the avoidance of bad debts, sufficient to re-
pay the labour and capital employed.
It has been matter of surprise that hitherto Gentlemen have been
compelled to obtain their DRESS of those who, in giving un-
bounded credit with a certainty of an overwhelming amount of bad
debts, are obliged to make high charge', to compensate such losses,
To meet the wants of those to whom credit is not a desideratum.
and to supply them with C LOTH ES of the very best kinds, at
very moderate prices, is the object of the Proprietors of this testa.
blishment.

HAT WOOD V. PITT.

This waa an action for seducing the plaintiff's daughter. At the
last Worcestershire Assizes, the Learned Judge who presided, sug-
gested, that as the plain vil's daughter and the defendant were stated
to be still attached to,. b other, and as a promise of marrisge had
been made, a verdict tit One Thousand Pounds should he entered,
which should he set aside, on condition that the defendant married
the girl within a month. To this proposition the defendant ac-
ceded, and a verdict for a thousand pounds was entered accord.
ingly.
lilt. RUSSELL now moved to set aside the verdict, stating, that
the defendant, in performance of his engagement, had procured a
license and the wedding-ring, and went to the plaintiff's house for
his bride, in a post-chaise, for the purpose of taking her to church,
and solemnizing the marriage ; but the young lady refused to have
him, preferring the thousand pounds for which the verdict had been
entered. Upon this statement of the case the Court granted a Rule
Nisi.

At two o'clock the Judges went to the Exchequer to prick for
Sheriffs.

were—whether a power granted by a will had been properly exer-

These questions depended chiefly on the application of legal and
technical forms, and his Lordship, after giving a very learned judg-
ment upon them, declared the opinion of the Court to be in favour
of the power.

RIOTS IN TAR 'SLR OF MAY:

In consequence of the riotous proceedings on the Isle of
Man, of which we gave an account on Saturday, the fol-
lowing Proclamation has been issued by the Lieutenant-
Governor :
.4 Whereas a number of persons did, MI the eveningot Friday,
the 2ffili of October inst. assemble themselves, in riotous manner,
in the parish of Kirk Christ Rushee', and did then and there coin.
mit various outrages against the public peace, and cause various
injuries to be done to the persons and properties of certain of his
11Iajesty's liege subjects ; and whereas several of the persons sup.
posed to be engaged in the said riot are now imprisoned in the Cas.
tle Rushen, to abide a trial for such offence. The Lieutenant.
Governor, therefore, deeply impressed with a sense of the disgrace
and calamity which a repetition of such daring and lawless conduct
may bring on this island, hereby orders the Captains of Parishes,
High Bailiffs, Coroners, Constables, and other officers, to use their
utmost endeavours to preserve the peace ; and he strictly enjoins
the inhabitants to demean themselves as becomes peaceable sub.
jects, and by rendering due observance to the laws, show themselves
deserving of that favour and protection which his Majesty's Go.
vernment is ever ready to extend to a loyal people.

wetrott: V. SANDS.
This was an action against a stakeholder, to recover 555., the
amount of a wager lost noma a cricket match. At the trial before
Mr. Serjeant Onslow, at the last Assizes for Hertfordshire, the
plaintiff' had a verdict for the amount claimed.
Mr. ANDREWS now moved to set aside the judgment, on the
ground that the Learned Sergeant ought not to have tried the cause,
inasmuch as it arose out of an illegal wager. Ile cited the case of
Egerton v. Furzman, where the Lord Chief Justice, about a year
since, refused to try a wager respecting two fighting dogs.
The Loan CUTE'. JUSTICE—ShouId you not have objected to
the cause being tried at the time it was called on ?
Mr. A. said, it was suggested that it was not a cause proper to be
tried, and the case of Egerton r. Furman was mentioned to the
Learned Judge, but his bordshlp said he could not determine whe-
ther it was a fit case to be tried until he heard the facts proved, and
the cause proemial
The LOAD Curer JUSTICE—But if the Learned Judge has
exercised his discretion in allowing the trial to proceed, can we dis-
turb the verdict ? It is for the Judge codetermine whether he will
try a cause. Mr. Justice 13a1ley adopted this principle, and said
he was in the habit of exercising such a discretion as to cases which
he thought unfit for the dignity of a Court of Justice.
Mr. ANDREWS contended, that as the waget was clearly illegal,
the Judge ought to have stopped the cause.
The LORD CHIEF .1-nsTICE—I am by no means clear of that.
Mr. ANDREWS submitted, that at all events the plaintiff could
not retain the verdict, the wager being illegal. A cricket match
was held to be one of the illegal games contrmplated by the Sta.
Lute of Anne ;so was a foot race, and all gainea at cards. Here
lie alleged dishoneety in the transaction. A match had been made
between eleven gentlemen of Enfield against the same number of
gentlemen of Cheshunt, at five pounds ahead. The stakes rare
deposited In the defendant's hands. It turned out that the Ches.
hunt men had imposed upon the Enfield men, by clandestinely in-
troducing two players from another place, who were better cricket-
ers than they could produce in their own parish.
The Cove T, however, said that the sum being under 101. it was
not a cue within the statute of Anne, and therefore refused the
rule.

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT in PENKNIVES.
—The usual manner of manufacturin Penknife Blades has
long been a subject of complaint. The edge is made too steep and
the angle too obtuse; the consequence is, that the edge in cutting
Is sometimes unmanageable and driven into the quill nearly across,
This inconvenience almost every person, in the habit of making
Pens, has frequently experienced. To obviate this entirely, T.
CLARK, of Exeter 'Change, has introduced a Penknife Blade
nisnufactured entirely on a new principle; the line of the edge
being parallel with the side of the blade, forms a very acute angle ;
the monument, therefore, even in Inexperienced hands, may be
taSil, governed ; no cutting, but what is intended, can take place,
and the pen is formed with the greatest nicety, and the utmost fa.
sdi c• fhe blade of this Penknife is beautiful in workmanship,
Ind rto be recommended with centidence, as superior to any article
pre, :ously introduced into this branch of Cutlery. Also, it can be
4tetl with the right or left band.

A REAL BLESSING TO M()TifERS.
rTHERE is not, perhaps, in the whole Mstetia Metlica

was proposed with great solemnity to our great gran:.

years ago. A project, similar in its principle, was the pr,?.

AUSTRIAN NEUTRALITY.

Extract of a letter, dated Zante, July 20 :—" They are
completely ignorant here of what is passing in the interior
of the Peloponnesus. Missolonghi, in spite of the appear-
ance of the Caplan Pacha in the vicinity of Patras, tie-
fends itself successfully ; but that of which no doubt can
be entertained, is the open hostility which is carried on
by Austria against Christians fighting under the banner
of the cross. The armed marine of his Austrian Majesty
convoys vessels loaded with military supplies of every de-
scription for the equipment of the Turkish armies. Her
naval station conroys the transports chartered for the pur-,
pose of pouring. Egyptian troops into the Peloponnesus.
In fine, the Turks are under the protection of the
Austrians, who publicly declare that the whole Greek
population of the Peloponnesus ought to be exterminated,
and replaced by the barbarians of Ibrahim Pacha, and that
those whom the sword shall spare when it has become smr-
•feited with massacre should be transported and sold in
Africa."—Brussels Paper.
The animosity between the (Reeks and the Austrians
manifests itself more and more. According to the latest'
news from Trieste, au unfortunate affair occurred between
the Austrian corvette La Caroline and a small Greek
vessel of war, its the port of Valona. La Caroline, accord-
ing to the Austrian account, discharged a gun, loaded with
blank cartridge, for the purpose of compelling the Greek
vessel to lower her flag. The latter, however, in place of
lying to, answered the summons by a discharge of grape
and ball, which killed two and wounded four of the crew
of La Caroline. The Captain of the latter, in conse-
quence, brought his full broadside to bear upon the Greek
vessel, and sunk her. Only forty of her crew were saved.
Forty more perished, one of whom is said to have been a
senator. This event must naturally exasperate both
nations ; and if with this we connect the building of a
frigate of sixty ians, now going on in the arsenal of
Venice, for the Paella of Egypt, the materials of which
are furnished from the imperial magazines, it must appear
quite evident that Austria is ready to throw off the mask,
and to co-operate in the massacre of the unfortunate
Greeks by the sabres of the ferocious Mussulmans.--.Parit

GREETS.

•
The following is an eaVres..--f a letter from J. Allen,
Esq. atLA:nericaa Officer in the Greek service, ;dated Va.
tics (in the Gulf of Caldqutkia), June 43, 1443, from on
I board the Miltiatla, Captain Sabine.:
1 I have again ao opportunity of giving you some Intl e•intelli.
genet. In my last, I believe, I informed you thst. our tIV4 Reeu
j had effected a union, and that theTurkislrand tlgyptian fleets were
in the port of Suds, in Candid. Same dam'• since, being off that
port, we discovered forty of the enemy's ships Mt the mouth of the
harbour. About one &clack in the afternoon Lite ...s.dimrsl marls:
the signal for all the brulotes to approach, and endeavour to set Mel
to the enemy's frigates and corvettes ; our ships of war were ordered
td approach and cover the frigates with our guns. We obeyed the
signal, and made all sail. and, after a fight of one boor slats half,
succeeded in burning one frigate of thirty-four guns, an driving
the enemy's ships into port, without receiving the least damage, or
!losing a single man. It was a gbirious sight for us to the crew
of the frigate taking their lofiy Eight ; the explosion was terribly
awful. The frigate was a % enetiambuilt ship ; there were 400
; men on board. We picked un fifteen ; thirteeu were Greeks who
had been forced to fight against their countrymen ; the other two
were Turks. It was our intention to have made en attempt t.) en-
ter the port at night with out bruliVes,(but atsthis time of die year
the winds are so variable that it would have been impossible to suc-
ceed. Since the commenremen tof this campaign, we have destroyed
between 30 and tIO sad of slips, which is no small business. We
only want the frigates, which we know to be coming, tp insure our
liberty and independence. Had we only four frigates, we could
then with impunity bid defiance to the whole Turkish eMpire, and
do what no other nation but the English have done namely. Neu
the Dsedanellee. When I look upon our little handful of mer.
chant vessels, and see them dauntlessly approach ar.d combat three
times their number of frigates, it makes tie long for greater meats.
and deploriour want of resources. None, my dear L but he
who lights in company wi h Greeks, and shares their difficulties and
privations,'can or ought to judge of their character and bravery.
If you hear any one, who his been is Greece, say that the Greeks
are not brave, tell him, troni me, it is false: and that he is no
friend to Liberty or Greece, whose shores motives of interest can
alone base induced him to visit.
" I have no* served as a volunteer four months, and I have
not received a Ore for my services ; on the contrary, as long as
I hetet! a pars, Greece shell be welcome to it. The bravery of
'the sailers, and the Intrepid enthusiasm of the brulotiers. in par.
tinder, has inspired me with the htmost esteem and love for them.
You shall hear from tna again shortly. In the meantime, believe
me, &c."

"NI-hereas a riot of the most serious nature was yeaterday caused
by the iniachievous and unlawful conduct of many misguided

POLICE.

3rtAWSION TlODilr, AUGUST B.—Tlamtas James, a Jebtar,
confined in Whitecrosa-atteet Prison, was brought before the Loan
MAYOR, charged with !lining committed a violent assault upon
Mr. Bunning, of 11Iolineux.street, Edgeware.road,
Mr. Bunning stated, that he went a few days ago into White-
cross-street orison to see the defendant, who had been arrested upon
a bill by a tithd party. lie went up to hint and told hint ',hat
another person would have considered an agreeable piece of news—
that he would be out in a very short time. The moment he uttered
the words the defendant struck him a most desperate blow in the
tiec_repeated the blow, and then seized him, and celled out "
the pump—to the pump " James was then assisted by other
persons. and draghing Mr Bunning to the pump he threw hint
into the trough, and would have pumped upon hint had not some
persons interfered. The complainant found it necessary immesh.
ately after his rescue to get some blcod taken from hint, and he
was confined for two days to his room.
The Lorin MAYOR told the keeper of the prison, who was
present, that he had thought tLe disgraceful rows which used to lake
place in the prison were wholly at an end, and that the last corn, ic-
hen had operated as a never-to-be-forgotten example.
The keeper (Mr. Spencer) said the inmates had behaved a :ill
the greatest propriety since that occasion up to the present assault.
The defendant thought the mere assault, without the purnpu.s,
was nothing, and said, in his defence, that he had not pumped.
The Loan MAYOR ordered him to find bail to appear a: t!.e
next London Sessions, to answer for the assault.

JENNTNGS V. KIIITCHURCTI.
The declaration, in this case, WAS tOr work rind labour dose, and

whereby he derived considerahl.; cmulament and advantages, and
the sum sought to be recovered, as a conmensation„ was 1701. The
defer.dant suffered judgment to go by default. It appeared that
the plaintiff; W11:1 was in fact a chymiat, an not a civil engineer,
was acquainted with the defendant, who was a dryer of bacon in
Gosvrell.street, and as it was suggested by the former that laical
could he dried much more advantageously by the adoption of rer.
king's pstent stoves for that purpose, he atter:led the detendant on
more occa.inns titan one, and pointed out the mode in which the
stoves could he applied, in consequence of which one of thou was
adopted. and &nattered the purposes eontemplwed, though not so
etleeteally as the defendant expected. A bill of patticulars was
put in as a part of the plaintiff's ease, wherein charges were made
fur drawings, designs, he. none of 'Lich, however, were produced,
and the only drawing e'er made by the plaintiff; that appeared in
evidence, was the definearion of an argle in chalk, on a door which
was to biggest an altairatian in one of the pipes of the stove.
Mr. Ptrktus, the sun of the patentee of the new stoves, explained
the nature of their opuation. Tim stove was one of cast-iron, sur-
rounded by latickworic, between which and the stave the external
air was admitted, and, when heated, was conveyed to any part Of
a building, fur the purpose of warming it. These stoves had been

Castle Mahon, in the barony of Upper Cameline, in thin county,
and succeeded in carryin:f away a young girl, his daugh:er. Data.

castle Bridewell. The young girl has not since been beard of.
Wednesday night four cows were houghed on the lands of Glen_
baron, within four miles of Tipperary, the property of a poor man

same lands about a year back.
Saturday night a man named Barrett was waylaid on his return
frogs this city to his reaitlznue at .11111 ford, near Gildiino, by a large
party, who met him between 04mA and BSI:limo. They best
him in a most barbarous manner, and broke his skull in serail

THE BRITISH PRESS.

FOB I'SMOU7'H, FEDRUAIIY 6.
His Majesty's ship Aurora, Capt. Henry Prescott, C.B.
arrived this day from Rio de Janeiro, which place she left
on the 18th Dec. last. She has brought to England an im-
mense freight in specie, it is said amounting to nearly half
a million sterling. She left at Rio the Spartiate, Blonde,
and Eclair. The Tweed had been ordered 'to return
to England, and was to sail in about three weeks
after the Aurora. The Briton was gone round Cape Horn.
Lieut. Kelly, first of the Tweed, had removed into the
Aurora, in the room of Lieutenant Dawson, invalided.
Lieutenant Chalmers, of the Aurora, had also invalided,
and Mr. James Lithlel appointed in his vacancy, Mr.
Gibson, boatswain of the Aurora, is dead, and Mr. J. An-
derson appointed in his room. The Fly is expected home
soon.
Courts-martial have been held on some of the officers of
the Tweed. on charges preferred against them by Captain
Hunn, of that ship. The Master, Mr. George Hanna-
ford, was reprimanded and admonished on various charges.
The third Lieut cant, Mr. Blake, acquitted, and corm
home in the Aurora. The trial of the first Lieutenant,
Kelly, occupied nearly four days; he was reprimanded
on a charge originally preferred against him by the
Master, but brought forward under peculiar circumatancet
by application of Captain florin. We understand that
the charge was for having caused two men to be started
in Captain Hunn's absence from the ship, which was
established, though the punishment was proved to have
been remarkably light.
Although the Court deemed it right to pass censure on
Lieutenant Kelly, it is hut justice to that officer to men-
tion the following circumstance, as it conveys a most satis-
factory explanation of the nature of the charges, and of
the circumstances under which they were brought for-

ward. Capt. Prescott, who was President of the Court-
martial, offered Lieut. Kelly, in the most handsome manner,
the vacancy which then existed in the Aurora, and by appli-
cation to the Commander-in-Chief (Sir G. Eyre) obtained
his appointment to that ship, and he has arrived in her ac-
cordingly.—The Tweed may be daily expected, as she was
to sail for England a few days after the Aurora. The Au-
rora left in Rio de Janeiro the Spartiate, Blanche, Blonde,
Tweed, Jaseur, and Eclair.
The Starling cutter, Lieut. Richard Stuart, and Quail.
tender to the Albion, sailed on a cruize to the westward
this day ; and the &solution tender, newly fitted out at
Plymouth, to be attached to the Ganges, arrived from that
port.
The Phaeton has been ordered to return to Spithead, u
soon as she can be provided with her iron mast and bow-
sprit, for the purpose of taking the command of the expe-
rimental squadron.

EXPERIMEN7'.4I, SQUADRON.

In our last paper we noticed the return of the squadron
under the command of Capt. Sir John Phillimore, of the
Thetis, and that the Orestes was this time entitled to the
credit of being the best ship, as respects going to windward
and fast sailing ; subsequent accounts which we have re-
ceived confirm this statement ; but while it allows that the
sloop is at present the hest of the three, it is also granted
that they are all very fine vessels of their class. The Cham-
pion, in several instances, is said to have held way equally
with the Orestes, so that it was difficult to decide at first
which was superior ; and in smooth water, with light winds,
the Pylades runs away from both the others. The Champion
and Orestes have come into harbour to prepare for another
trial; and as the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty,
with that commendable discretion and judgment which
mark their official regulations generally, and which base
been more than ordinarily displayed in respect to these
vessels, have placed it in the power of those gentlemen who
had the building of each vessel, to make such alteration in
them as they may think will conduce to their further im-
provement, it may with reason be expected, that the re-
sult of their next cruise will place the disputed question
of their superiority beyond the reach of cavilling. We
understand it to be the intention of the constructor of the
Champion, to give his vessel tauter masts and squarer yards
(the main-mast is to be lengthened six feet, the foremast
three feet, and topmasts in like proportion) so as to place
her on an equality, in those respects, with the Orestes.
What will be the effect of such alteration in her sailing qua-
Hiles we will not presume to decide; but it is certainly not
unreasonable to suppose that if the vessel can safely carry
her masts ranter than at present, the greater quantity of
canvas she will thereby be enabled to spread, must make
her go faster through the water, especially as she has proved
herself so very stiff under her present sails. In their next
cruise, the three sloops will be accompanied by the Rose,
Capt. the Hon. Charles Abbot (which sloop was built by
Professor Inman) and the Pandora, Capt. Gordon. It will
be recollected that the Champion and Pandora hare already
had a short trial together in going to windward, in which
we believe both claimed the prize. At that time the Pan-
dora bad but just returned from the Mediterranean, and
was rigged as a brig ; she has now been converted into
a ship sloop, and on this account we look forward with ad-
ditional interest to the next trial, in the hope of ascertain-
ing the advantages likely to be derived from the conversion
into ships of that beautiful class of vessels in our navy, 18-
gun brigs.—Honipshire Paper.
