POLICE.

WORSHIP-STREET.
On Saturday the informer Johnson appeared at this office, in
support of several informations.
The first was an information against Mr. Rainbow, baker, under
the &I Geo. IV., cap. 106.
The informer's witness stated, that on the 29th of April he saw
the defendant and his man in a cart, with bread for sale, ar.d pur-
chased from them the loaf produced. He asked the defendant to
weigh it for him, but he only laughed, and said how could he
weigh it when he had neither weights nor scales.
The defendant pleaded that the Act had expired, having been
passed fora period of two years only.
Johnson said, he knew It was generally supposed by bakers that
the Act had expired, but they were mistaken. The fact was, that
the 6th and the 7th sections were no longer in force. The ninth
and the conducting sections, however, were not limited in cicir
duration.
The Magistrate was of opinion that the ninth section, which
requires that every cart, or other vehicle, in which bread might be
sent nut for sale, should be provided with scales for the purpose of
weighing it, was not limited.
The defendant said, cases of a similar nature had been decided at
Queen-square against the infomier.
Johnson said, he supposed the defendant alluded to a case at the
Marylebone-office; but in that ease the bread had been sold in a
shop, and air. Alley (who was for the defendant) then distinctly
admitted that the Ninth anti other sections were still in full force.
Mr. OSBORNE was clearly of opinion that the defendant was
liable to the penalty ; but if he thought he should be able to bring
forward anything else. the case should be postponed.
The defendant availed himself of the Magistrate's suggestion,
and the case was adjourned.

IVe regret to hear that Mr. King, the very distinguished
tutor of Queen's College, Cambridge, has met with a serious acci-
dent. It appears that this gentleman, having in the ilineas of one
of the Proctors (Mr. Venn) undertaken to supply his place, re-
ceived, in a quarrel of drunken gownsmen, a tall, by which his
co:Lr-bone has been dislocated.

CORN TRADE.

FRANKFORT. MAT ii.
The result seems to confirm the opinion that has been already
expressed, that the modifications of the English Corn Laws would
not have any sensible etre& on the price of grain in the south-wen
of G-rmany. Barley and oats are, indeed, rising, but more from
an increased demanJ for hntna consumption, than from the expects.
tion of a greater demand from ■broad. Rye still remains extremely
low, and the advance in wheat is not worth mentioning. It is
affirmed besides, in many quarters, that though large qualities of
wheat are really accumulated in the hands of some individuals, yei,
on the whole, the amodrit is by no means likely to prove too large
for the supply of the home markets, and the.depreciation of the
prices of wheat does not proceed front a real excess of the stock
in hand, so much as from thy very great distress art' the powers,
who ire eager la sell, in order to obtain the ready money, snitch
they cannot do without. In the Dutch ports, however, wheat has
already risen ten florins per lest ; yet, as we now learn, the stock is
these ports is stated to be extremely large, so that even in nautili
bonded corn in England, which Is now to be sold, should be
epee lily bought up, fresh supplies might be immediately sent from
Holland. They also expect fresh importations from the Baltic,
the arrival of which would be hastened by the news from England.
We are not yet certain whether the House of Lards will adopt iht
second part of the Ministers' proposal, respecting the permission m
allow the sale of 500,090 quarters more. Should this be decided
as it is hoped, some rise in the prices may take place in Holland,
but it still remains doubtful whether they will ever rise so much at
to prove advantageous to our part of the Continent, considering
the great expenses of carriage from hlayence, or other plum sat

BY HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT.

THE SELF-ILLUMINATING NIGHT or DAY
LAMP, producing PERMANENT LIGHT by touching
a string.
This invention combines utility. econom y,durabillty, and safety ;
it is equally adapted to the drawing.room, the library, the'
chamber of the invalid, and the office of the man of business,
and is expected to supersede everything of the kind now in use.
%When required for the night, the Lamp may be placed in any
part of the room, and the string attached to the bed, by merely
pulling which, light is produced. In the day it may be used for''
scaling letters, &c. without the string.
To the army, the navy, the law, and the faculty, the student
at the university and in chambers, to merchants and bankers, to
public offices and private families, for every bed-room, to Cap-
tains of ships and travellers in general, and for the insides of
carriages, it is particularly recommended ; and to the lovers
of novelty and the curious in science, it may form an accept-
able present.
If allowed to burn, the Lamp will yields steady light for
eighteen or twenty hours, without trimming. It is so portable,
that it may be carried in the pocket ; so simple, that a child may
use it ; and so cleanly, that it may be packed with the finest
linen immediately after use.
By shutting the box, the works are so nicely fitted, that nothing
can escape, in whatever position it may he placed. As a proof of
his, it has been sent, when fully trimmed, and charged with oil,
acid, and matches, from London to Edinburgh, by the mail-coach,
as a loose parcel, and arrived in perfect security.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.

The following is en account of the various alterations
which have been, and still are, making at this delightful
summer retreat:—
The Rotunda has been eomplettly metamorphosed ; it
has been stripped of all irs gaudy eastern embellishments,
anal is now fitted up as a concert room, capable of contain-
ing about 4,000 persons. A capacious orchestra has beers
erected, on the left-band side upon entering from the gar.
dens, mm
sufficiently large to accommodate a very numerous
band,
which will be constituted of a considerable portion
of the Opera House orchestra, led by S2agnoletti ; and
Bishop, the composer, will preside at the pianoforte.
The Picture Saloon, which led from the Rotunda to-
wards the Theatre erected for the Ballet, has at the hack
of it a large Gallery, which holds some hundreds of slit c.
tators ; and on each of the sides bearing from it towards
the Orchestra, are two tiers of boxes, resembling those at
the Opera ; most of which will bold about a dozen per.
sons, and two or three of them will contain, perhaps,
twenty.
We understand that no extra payment for admission,
into the body of the room will be exacted, which will have
rows of benches for those to sit upon who do not choose
to go to the additional expense of paying for a box,
for the use of which, of course, some slight charge will be
made.
The entrance into the Concert Room haa been materially
widened, and the whole of the interior decorations are
in perfect keeping with the general design ; they are mat
and elegant, and, by candle-light, will have a most heauti.
ful effect.
The long room, leading out of the Concert Room, has
also experienced a great change; it now represents a grove
of fine trees, and the walls On either side have some vreli-
executed paintings on them, one of which (the Bay of
Naples) entitles the artist to great praise.
At the end, where the Scotch band has latterly sat, is
contrived, with great ingenuity, the Fall of the Tivoli.
The effect of this grove, when lighted up, is so managed as
to give the spectator an idea of walking between two rows
of trees, the boughs of which have, through age, become so
closely interwoven at the top as to preclude almost the en.
trance of day-light. We should notice here that the mode
of imparting to the room this species of light is entirely
out
of sight, which makes it appear as though it were the gift
of enchantment.
Among the present vocal engagements we find the names
of Misses Stephens and Love, and Madame Vestris ;
Messrs. Brahatn and Sinclair, Signor de Begnis, and last,
though not least, our old friend C. Taylor. Alany other
engagements are still pending, and the arrangements
altogether are of such a liberal character, and so judiciously
wade, as to entitle the proprietors to that support and en-
couragement which a British public is at all times ready
to give where the merit of the parties is such as to de-
serve it.

IMPOSTURE UNMASKED.

TILE progress of merit, although frequently assailed, is
not impeded by envy and detraction. The aggression of
ambuscade terminates in defeat; and conscious rectitude tilt!.
snidely triumphs in the attainment of the grand object—public ap-
probation. The teat of experience in the guarantee of favour, and
has established WARREN'S BLACKING in general estima-
tion of which there exists not a stronger proof titan the tacit ac-
knowledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously
obtrude on the unwary a spurious preparation as the genuine
article, to the great disappointment of the unguarded purchaser,
and manifest injury of Warren, whose character and interest by
this iniquitous system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes
therefore an indispensable duty to caution the Public against the
manoeuvres of unprincipled venders, who having no character to
lose. and stimulated by avarice in their nefarious pursuits. aim at
the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honour.
The original and matchless Blacking bears on With, bottle a short
direction, with the signature " Robert Warren." All others ere
counterfeits; and in many instances the imposition labels are art-
fbily interlined with a different address, in very small characters.
between the more conspicuous ones of " No. 30," and " Strand."
It is earnestly recommended to Shopkeepers and others who are
deceived by base fabrications of NVarren's Blacking, to return the
detected trash to the source whence it came, and expose the na-
chinatione of rascality to merited obloquy.
WARREN'S BLACKING is surpassingly. brilliant; it ex-
cludes damp ; gives pliancy to the leather ; retains its pristine vir-
ue in all climates • and, combining elegance with comfort, is an
article equally of indispensable fashion and utility.

PRIVY COUNCIL.

On Saturday morning the Limps of his:Majesty's Most
Hon. Privy Council assembled at the Council Office,
Whitehall. Their Lordships assembled at eleven o'clock.
The Lords present were the Lord President of the Council,
the Master of the Rolls and Mr. Elliot.
The first business which occupied the attention of their
Lordships was the pronouncing of judgment in an appeal,
in a cause of French appeals, in which Mr. Boyd was con-
siderably interested, which was given in their Lordships'
name by the Master of the Rolls, who gave the judgment
of their Lordships in favour of Mr. Boyd, who was pre-
sent to hear the decision, and who left the Court in very
high spirits with all his agents.
Their Lordships then proceeded to hear the further ap-
peal of " Law and Chevalier," a French appeal to a very
considerable amount on bills of exchange, due from the
French Revolutionary Govetnment, contracted in the Isle
of France.
The King's Advocate was heard in support of the deci-
sion and award of the Commissioners appointed to hear and
,detertrine French claims.
Mr. Carr was heard at considerable length in reply, for
the appellants, anti concluded about half-past two o'clock,
when Counsel, the parties, and strangers, here ordered to
withdraw.
Their Lordships remained in deliberation about an hour,
when all the parties were again admitted, anti the Master
of the Rolls delivered the judgment of their Lordships in
open Court. The Noble Lord took a summary view of
the principal points which had been urged for their Lord-
ships' consideration in the case, and concluded with de-
claring their Lordships opinion to be, that the award of
the Commissioners should be reserved.
The Court then broke up.
It was understood that this was the last appeal their
Lordships would hear this season.

PRETENDED ATTACK OF BURGLARS.

The neighbourhood of Vi-inclare, Preston, was the scene
of great alarm in the middle of the night, between Monday and
Tuesday last, from circumstances which there is abundant reason
to believe were crested foe the purpose of deception. About
twelve o'clock, one of the maid servants of the Rev. Mr. Raven,
named Catherine Rigby, awoke her companion, saying she could
hear footsteps on the stairs, and was afruid the house was going to
be robbed ; but to ascertain the fact more correctly, she would go
down and explore the premises. She then told her fellow-servant
to remain qutetly in bed, and if she found any one in the house,
she would call out. The girl, scarcely roused tom her slumbers,
soon sunk again to sleep, but she had not remained so long when
not only she, but Mrs. Raven, Miss Raven (sister to Mr. Raven),
and the family in the adjoining house, were roused by a terrible
crash, and loud cries of " Murder," from the woman who had gone
down stairs. The girl who had been left in bed was so dreadfully
alarmed that she hid herself in a cupboard, and there remained
panting and almost lifeless with terror, until the alarm was over ;
but Miss Raven, who slept in a lower loom to the front, acted with
more presence of mind; she threw ap the sash and called for the
watchman, who happened to be within hearing, and came instantly
s the spot Being let into the house, an investigation took place,
when it was found that the yard door was open, and four squares of
a window in the back parlour smashed, and the fterne.wmk broken.
INN It seems, was done with one of the chairs, for the real or pre.
tended purpose of escape.
The account which the woman gave of the affair was as follows.
On coming down stairs, she heard somebody in Alt Raven's study,
upon which she turned the key, and locked them in. She had
scarcely done this, when she was seized by a man, who made his
appearance in the lobby. This man, she said, threw her down
upon the stairs with great force, and beat her violently. She then
called out for help, and heard the breaking of the window in the
parlour, upon which the man who had abused her mode his escape
by the yard door. Although there were no strong external marks
upon the woman, she complained of being much hurt, and Mr.
Lodge, the surgeon, was eent for. On his arrival she feigned the
greatest lassitude and pain, but could not say exactly where she
was injured. tiuppeaing that the fall might hare occasioned some
internal bruise, although this was not indicated by any derange.
ment of the pulse Mr. Lodge bled her. A few hours afterwards
he was again called, when she pretended to be almost in the agonies
of death, and to have vomited alarge quantity of blood. Still,

EXTRACT FROM LORD GREYS ANSWER TO MR. LOSM.

DATED FEBRUARY 25, 1824.
In answer to the communication which Mr. Beaumont has &-
sired to he made to me through you, I beg you will inform hint
that he must not expect me to retract an iota of the opinion I have,
expressed with regard to his conduct, and that if he shall be so ill-
advised as to persevere in his threatened action, it is neither by Sir
John Bwinburne's family, nor by myself, that the disclosures which
mutt be made ore to be apprehended. The first witnesses I shad
hive to call will probably be yourself and some of his nearest con
nexions.
[Here the correspondence terminated • and it is almost unneees.
sary to add, that no more was heard of the threatened prosecution. I

And the following explanation of it appeared in the same parer
of the 14th of February, 1824:—" We are requested by T. W.
Beaumont, Esq, M.P., in consequence of a misiepreseutation in a
Sunday Paper, to state what are the infamous allegations' alluded
to In his advertisement of the 19th of January. They relate to an
assertion, most industriously circulated, of that gentknian having
been, within a late period, ' under a mental delusion;' and to a
report, as infamously and maliciously invented, of that gentleman's
marriage with the daughter of a northern Baronet having been
broken of in consequence of a discovery of his having beat al-
ready married with a foreign lady. The allusion to an iateuAlad
marriage with the beautiful daughter of a Noble Earl is totally
unfounded."
