J. Perkins, ajourneyman plasterer, was brought up under the fol-
lowing charge:-.-A respectable attorney. of I iorset.street, Salisbury-
square, stated, that as he was fastening up his house on Friday night
he heard a violent snoring in his t'cs cellar, and on examining it, he
found the pris mer stretched at his length fast asircp. Suspecting he
hod come with iment to rob his house, as he luul lost many articles of
late, he had him t:. ken into custody. The prisoner had formerly done
wane e ..re in his house. The prisoner said he went to see the ser-
vant girl. and while they were bitting together, they heard her mis-
tress coining down stairs. The girl said she did not know what to
do with bun unless he went into the coal cellar, as her mistress
looked all over the house except that part. lie consented to becon •
(Tided there, and having had a drop of drink, he dropped off to slap.
The Magist:ate asked him it he was a married man, to which the
prisoner answered no. A shrill voice from the crowd exclaimed, "
am his wife, your worship." and immediately, a very decent woman
made her appearance, but without testifying the least jealoi
anger at the conduct of her spouse. She said she knew he did ft g •
to see the girl for the purpose of courting her, because the gig kna
he was a loathed man.—He was hound in his own recognisi rum :o
keep the peace in '2Ol. the Nlagistratc observing, that many out
were robbed by workmen employed in them becoming actin. intact
with the servant girls.

lIA'ITON-GARDEN—SATURDAY.
THE KING V. JOSEPH AND SAMUEL MOATE.—ThiII was
au inthrmation by the Commissioners of Excise, against the
defendants who are concerned in an extensive soap work
at Knightsbridge.
The information was laid under the 47. Geo 111. chap.
31. Sec. 7. which states, that, if any maker of hard soap shall
not cut his soap into cakes or bars, out of the frames, 14 ithiN
Ris floors atter it has been ',mired into them, he shall forfeit
for every such offence, the sum of fifty putimis.
Mr. Waleot counsel for the prosecution, culled
Kobi rt Cole, an Eseise Officer, who deposed that, on
Sunday the I:Ws July last, the delimil.ints had a boiling of
soap ready, and that before ten o'clock on that day, it was
poured into foot frames. On the 21st of the same months
at 6 o'clock in the morning, the SOAP in one of these frames,
remained anent. It had therefore hero in the Frame 189
hours, instead of 168 as limited by the Act.
J. Crooks, another Excise Officer deposed to the same
effect.
Mr. Andrews, for the defendants, after cross examining.
the Witnesses objected that the opposite side had failed to
prove, that, the defendants actually were, " Makers of Hard
Soap," on the day laid in the inforniation.
The Nlagistrates held this objection good; and acquitted
the defendants.

CitAxtoLoor.—in one of the last sittings of the
Academy at Rome, M. GM. Fort. Zamboni, demon-
strated in a dis.surtatimi on the Craniological system
of 1)r. Gall, Ist, That it was contrary to Physiology;
Qd, That the principle of it was fidse, erroneous, tend-
ing to materialism and finalisin, destructive of the li-
berty of man, and derogatory to the dignity of the hu-
man race, which, according to Dr. Gall, differs from
brutes only in an accidental physical conformation.—
The Diario di Roma says, that all this was proved by
reasonings equally convincing and eloquent. This will
doubtless surprise Dr. Gall, whose system, as he asserts,
no more tends tomaterialism;than that of the very re-
Fghius Lavaiter, who, it 11111 V he presumed, never
thought Of ranking himself in the class of brutes.
As in consequence of a late event at Boulogne, an
opinion is generalize entertained that persons cannot be
arrested in France for debts contracted out of that
country, unless on a judgment obtained against them,
the following iufbrmation has been received from the
President of the Tribunal of Commerce at Calais:—

• -
(70 PC OF TO E F.SI DENT'S I. ETT F
No person can he arrested in France fir a debt contracted nut of
that country, although it is acknowledged to be due by the debtor
therein, nor would evidence to that efe....ct be of any avail before the*
Tribunal. But if a Bill of Exchange csn be obtained trom the debtor
in France, and indorsed to a French House, and regularly protested,
the debtor might be ;armed upon that Bill, as it would then become
a mercantile transaction.
(Signed) -" M. AIOURON."

A person assuming the name of Captain Wallace,
and stating himself to be one of the first fatuities in
Scotland, has just been tried at the Court of Assizes at
Paris. It seems that he gave a bill of exchange for
3or 4000 francs, but I....fused to indorse it. He was
pursued to Boulogne, and threatened to be arrested,
and was there accused of having stolen three napkins
and a brush He was taken hack to Paris, where he
was acquitted. This is probably the "soi-disant," Cap-
tain Wallace, better known than trusted, in the pur-
lieus of St. Jame's and Jermyn-street.
It is said that the military establishment of the king-
dom of tlx Netherlands, is to be raised before the mid-
dle of next month, to 88,000 effective troops. The
militia are, however, to be included in this grand total.
Letters from the French frontiers, state, that the bar-
vest is iioished in the northern departments, and has
flu. exceeded the general expectation. They talk of
forming magazines ," magazins d'abandance") at Lille,
.is well for the supply of the Arm• of Occupation, as to
have at all times a sufficient supply of corn in case of
need.
