TIIE MURDER AT COBHAM.

At the sitting of the Court Mr. DowLING applied
for the permission of the Court to allow James White,
a prisoner, charged upon the Coroner's inquisition, with
the murder of Thomas Chipps, at Cobham, to go be-
fore the grand jury as a witness, as he stated it was
necessary for the ends of justice that he should do so.
The COURT granted the application. •

The trial is fixed for nine o'clock to-morrow (this
day).

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

QUEEN-SQUARE:

UNFORTUNATE FlTS.—Henry Hawkins, ft miserable-
looking fellow, and a complete cripple, was charged with
stealing several cabbage plants from the grounds of
Mr. G. Bayley, a market gardener, at Fulham.
Mr. Bayley stated that he was crossing Fulham-
fields the precious evening, when he saw the prisoner
pulling up his cabbage plants. He immediately took
him into custody, and gave him over to a police con-
stable. Prisoner had been committed from this office
for a term of three months, which had only just ex-
pired, for robbing him of some. Scotch kail.
Mr. Taylor, the second Clerk, said the prisoner had
been repeatedly convicted of robbing gardens. The
last summer he was convicted for robbing Lord Wharn-
cliffe's garden.
Mr. WHITE—WeII, prisoner, what have you to say
to this ? Prisoner—Why you know, your Worship,
I've such fits come on me now and then, that I don't
know what I'm doing while they last.
Mr. WHITE—Fits of stealing, I suppose you mean ;
truly they are unfortunate fits, and for indulging in
them I shall be compelled to send you to prison.
Prisoner—Oh don't do that, your Worship, I'll try
and cure the fits.

Mr. WHITE committed the prisoner for two months
to the House of Correction, no doubt thinking that
that would be the best place for curing the " unfortu-
nate fits" that the prisoner was troubled with.

WORSHIP-STREET.

SMARTING FOR A " LARK."—Joh7t Farrell, a young
man of respectable appearance, who stated himself to
be a warehouseman in the city, was yesterday charged
by Richard Seaton, a corporal in the .51st Regiment of
Light Infantry, with having defrauded him of a shilling.
It appeared from the Corporal's statement that he was
passing through Finsbury-square on the night before,
when the prisoner came up to him and expressed himself'
ambitious of the honour of serving her Majesty, where-
upon the Corporal, after some conversation, agreed to
gratify him, and handed him a shilling ; but the prisoner
had no sooner received it than he laughed in his face,
and observing that he would drink her Majesty's health
at his expense, in a jorum of gin, he endeavoured to
beat a retreat. The Corporal, however, held him fast
until a policeman came up, into whose custody he
gave him.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that he
took the shilling out of a lark, and on his offering to
return it immediately afterwards, the Corporal refused
to receive it. .

Mr. Copp said that he would find it a very grave
lark,- for the Act of Parliament required that he should
be held to the engagement he had contracted for twenty-
four hours, and if he then wished it cancelled, he must
appear before a Magistrate, who would discharge him
from it, on his paying the sum of 203. as smart money,
together with all expenses incurred. If he were
prepared to pay that sum forthwith, he should be
discharged.
The prisoner, who appeared confounded at this in-
formation, begged the Magistrate to deal leniently with
him.
Mr. CORD said, that unless he paid the money, he
must be detained till the expiration of the twenty .four
hours, and if it were not then forthcoming, he
would be sworn in as a soldier, and must prepare to
marchr in four days to join his regimekst•
foe prisoner, on this, exclaimed " pay the money
your worship, I'll pay the money ;" and having handed
it to the Gaoler, he marched off in double quick time.

REFORM CLUB.—Mr. Gaskell has addressed
from the Club a calm appeal to the middle classes in be-
half of the People's Charter, which concludes thus :—" All
that the workin classes demand is, that they may have
such a share in the choice of Legislators as to be able
to check and control the undue bias which the owners
of capital would very naturally have in those few
directions where the interests of capital and labour
are somewhat at variance. Universal Suffrage would turn
attention to the permanent and common interests of in-
dustry and frugality of every kind. It would aim at giving
fair and adequate remuneration to the exertions of mind
and body, to the savings of frugality and forethought. It
ought, and it would, put down the monopolies, privileges,
and injustice, which impede the industry and degrade the
character of the country."—Country Papa.

GREECE.

ATHENS, FEB. 2.—The Acheron English Government
steamer arrived here on the 26th inst., conveying from
Malta many travellers of high rank. The Duke of De-
vonshire and his suite have entirely occupied one hotel, and
the Earl and Countess of Carnarvon and family another, so
that many passengers have been obliged to remain on
board, from the impossibility of obtaining accommodation at
the hotels. Captain Walker and other English naval offi-
cers are on board the Acheron, on their way to Constanti-
nople, where they have been solicited to enter the service
of the Porte. Owing to the main shaft of one of the en-
gines having broken just as the Acheron arrived here, she
will be detained some ftw days to repair it.. A very
discontented feeling still continues to exist against the
acts of the Bavarian rulers of this country, and at present
they appear to take almost a pleasure in making all par-
ties, whether Greeks or foreigners, dissatisfied. General
Gordon, who, it is well known, has devoted the best part
of his life and a large portion of his immense fortune to
the service of Greece, from the very commencement of
the revolution in 1821, has just met with such marked
indignity from King Otho, that he has resigned all his
appointments in disgust, and will immediately depart for
Scotland. _ _ _ .

The General had been recommended by the Minister
at War for the Cross of Grand Commander of the Ssu•
veur, and his name included in a list presented to his
Majesty on the occasion of the anniversary of his acces-
sion to the Throne, but, to the astonishment of every
one, King Otho drew his pen through General Gor-
don's name, and substituted that of a known Russian ad-
herent. The General's resignation was accepted, and
the situation of Commander-in-Chief of the troops in the
Peloponnesus abolished altogether. The Grand Cross
of the Order was, however, afterwards sent to Thomas
Gordon, Esq., but unless proper explanations are given it
can hardly be expected that he will retain it. It is re-
ported here that the British Government has demanded a
constitution for Greece, in consequence of having been a
party to the proclamation which guaranteed it. It is also
very generally stated that the English Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs has declared, that, if the money due
to England is not paid, means will ere long be taken
to compel a just settlement thereof. It really does ap-
pear as if a fatality existed against this beautiful coun-
try ever remaining free from political strife, or ever ob-
taining such a Government as will enact and enforce
wise and good laws, and thus permit the vast resources of
Greece to be fully developed, and make her people happy
and contented.

SINGULARLY VALUABLE PROPERTY

is brought into the market solely by means of the decease of the late
proprietor, who originally embarked a small property, with almost
fear and trembling, in respect to the probability of a favourable
result. However, success was not even one solitary season at all
equivocal, and the result has been that during five short months
only in every year,
A RAPID FORTUNE HAS BEEN REALIZED.

It is probably one of the most elegant as well as convenient build-
ings in any town in England.

The STYLE of the BOULEVARD

is marked with consummate skill and judgment. It is two hundred
feet long, including
The SPLENDID CONCERT ROOM,
and a Refreshment Room recently created. It is especially adapted
to Balls and Concerts, independently of its mercantile advantages,
and there is 100 feet of counter on each side of the entrance to it.
There is also a comfortable Dwelling-house in Cecil-square, and
the taxes for the whole do not exceed 201.
It would be difficult to find a parallel case, where the prospective
view of a certain fortune is so apparent. To illustrate this fact it
may be remarked the receipts have varied from Eight to
TEN THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR;
and although Mr. Robins is not anxious to disclose the " secrets of
the prison house," he must in candour admit the profits to exceed
40 per cent.
The purchaser may have on moderate terms all or any portion
of the Stock, which is modern, and of the best quality.
Principals of respectability will be treated with great liberality.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.
etittIgTIVIAS SUPPLIES. •
T. BETTS, and CO. respectfully request their
elo • friends not to postpone giving their Orders for the PATENT
BRANDY beyond the 20th instant, as the multiplicity of erders
from that time to Christmas, renders it impossible for them to re-
gulate their deliveries with that punctuality which it has ever been
their anxious wish to observe.
The Patentees in consequence of the numerous imitators of the
Patent Brandy avail themselves of this opportunity to state that the
pzculiar wholesome properties of their Brandy, attested by many
eminent Chemists and frequently published since its introduction in
IS2t4, are secured by Patent Right, which in itself forms a sufficient
guarantee, if purchasers be careful to establish the identity of ihe
article.

Letters from Mexico to the 221 of November were re.
ceived in the city yesterday, giving further particulars of the
late destructive hurricane at Mazatlan, and fully confirming
the distressing accouts received via Vera Cruz. The ves-
sels lost, as before reported, in addition to which were the
Pepita and Jovtn Maneta, Mexican whalers, had fortuateiy
all previoufly discharged their cargoes. The brig Indus also
had been got afloat without much damage, ar:d would repair
and continue her voyage.
(From the Baltimore Chronicle. )
A slip from the New Orleans Courier of the 17th of De-
cember states that the barque Magnolia arri%ed on that morn-
ing front Barbaeoes, bringing information that on the 27th of
November a British frigate aiid two sloops of war touched at
that place on their way from England to Vera Cruz, and they
would, it was said, be followed by seven other men•of--war from
England, which, with three frigates from the Halifax station,
and two already in the Gulf, would augment the English 11,..ct
to 13 sail on the coast of Mexico.

The object of this parade of British power in this quarter is
as yet only matter of conjecture. The course pursued by the
French as regards Mexico, and explanations which will no
doubt take place between the Government of France and Eng-
land, will probably determine whether these fleets arc intended
for anything more than a simple demonstration.
The croi s in all the Windward Islands were very promising.
Provisions and lumber were plenty, and selling at prices that.
would barely remunerate the importers.

SOUTH AMERICA.

We Isve received Rio de Janicro papers to the 11th of
November, containing intelligence from Monte Video to the
27th of the preceding month, being three days later than that
already in our possession.

The late President of the Oriental Republic had, in con-
formity with a formal arrangement made between his repre-
sentatives and persons appointed by General Fructueso Riveira
commanding the troops who have lately taken possession of
Monte Video, formally resigned his station, and the Vice- Pre-
Gident and President of the Senate h,d, agreeably to the con-
stitution, assumed the duties of the executive power. He Lai
already nominated persons to fail the diff2rent executive de-
partments, and every thing was tranquil at Monte Video.
There is nothing further from Buenos Ayres.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, .1421 r 14.

HAMPTON V CROSS.
In this action which was tried before the Lord Chief I3arcn
at the Sittings in Westminster after last Term, when the
plaintiff was nonsuited,

Mr. 111.711 FREY obtained a rule to show cause why the non-
suit should ILA be set aside, and also why the eerendant and
his attorney should not pay all the costs of the trial, on the
ground of bad faith. It was an action brought against the
proprietor of the Surrey Zoological Gardens to recover
the sum of sixty pounds for a breach of contract in not al-
bwing the plaintiff to make two ascents from the Gardens in
his balloon.

FRASER V. BONN,

Mr. HOGGINS applied for a rule to set aside the verdict in
this ewe and for a new trial, The action was tried before
Lord Abinges at the last sittings, and was brought against
the lessee of Drury-lane Theatre, for arrears of salary due for
services at that Theatre, and also at the English Opera House.
The verdict was in favour of the plaintiff for 371. The
Learned Counsel moved on the ground of misdirection by
the Learned Judge.
The COURT were, however, of opinion that the Lord Chief
Baron had directed the Jury rightly, and the rule was refused.

INSOLVENT DEB7'ORS' COURT, JIM'. 14.
PROTECTION TO INSOLVENTS.
In Bsil cases the insolvents receive a protection from the
Court against further imprisonment until the d tys of hearing,
and when their cases are further adjourned the term is marked
upon the protection. Two insolvents, whose cases were ad-
journed, had not brought their protection with them.
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said the Court, in fu-
ture instances, would order them into custody, unless they
brought their protections with them.

Commissioner BOWEN remarked that they might be
taken in execution, and not having the protection with them,
the order of the Court would not avail them in the slightest
degree.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.

CTESSRS :SCOAN and CO., Meobers of
the Royal College of Surgeons, No. 4, Argyll-place,
Regent-street, and No. 28, Ironmonger-lane, Cheapside, may
be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the Morning until Ten at
Night, on every variety and stage of Syphilis with that deli-
cacy and secrecy they have hitherto observed. The treatment
thty pursue is the result of twenty-two years' extensive and
successful practice in London, and will not subject any patient
to confinement or hindranco from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expenss. Seminal weakness, Gonor-
rhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so prevalent,
are treated upon those unerring principles which have insured
to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public patronage,
and which it will be their future exertion to maintain.
N.B.—Letters, post paid, enclosing a fee, will be answered
by return, and country patients corresponded with until re-
covery.

There is one point of view in which, if we steadily
regard the termination of the civil war, it would
appear that the French and British Governments
have acted wisely in leaving Spain to decide un-
aided the pretensions of the rival claimants for her
throne. The utter defeat of the Carlists by their
own countrymen attests the hopelessness of any
future insurrection ; and the sufferings of the in-
habitants of the northern provinces during the
civil war will leave behind them recollections favour-
able to tranquillity which a century will not efface.

THE SKELE

ON

FOE

STRAND SEWER.

(FURTHER 1-ARTIOI3LAUS.)
The publicity which has been giv,ln to the extraordinary
finding of a human skeleton in the common sewer of the
Strand on Friday morning, has led to many applica-
tions for a sight of it by persons whose relatives and
friends have been long missing, but their oleatb, whether
violently or by sneident, has remained a perfect mystery.
Amongst others who have applied at the ship hell,
in
Essex-street, where the remains are now lying in a s
is a middle-aged woman, of the name of Porter, re.Nidng
at No. 8, Dream's-buildings, Chancery-lane, who nade
the following singular statement to Mr. Terry, the bet
of St. Clement Danes. Her husband, she said, was' as
labouring man, who generally found employment in th,e
parish, was of industrious and frugal habits, and lEft his
home as usual M an early hour to proceed with his daily' 1;
labour. As nearly* as possible eight years ago, he west
from his lodgings in perfect health, and was expected to
his dinner, but from that hour to this he has not been
heard of. As soon as Mrs. Porter was told of the find.
ing of the skeleton, a strong fe,-.lieg possessed her that it
must be the remains of her husband. as he was in the habit
of working by the water side, and s.he at once applied to
the landlord of the Ship to be permitteu4 to see it ; but so
many persons had been to that gentlE.man on a similar
errand, that he directed her to Mr. Terry,, the beadle,
to whom she went ; but he being engagooi with the
churchwardens, she was directed to call w hen he re-
turned. She, however, stated that there was a- peculiar
mark on the forehead of her husband which would
enable her at once to identify it. In order to a seer-
tain how far her description corresponded with v 'hat
had been so singularly discovered, our corresponcklit
went to see the skull and bones on Saturday evening, any
pt appearappear
vaen.d
e s indentation
eiihed. The
ef
ra4

appears posit that her statement, and the appearance on
the skull, fully 17rove its identification. The deceased
person was probably 5,t or 60 years of age, if the teeth can
be taken as a criterion, a'td Mr. Wakley has often said
they arc as good a test in the human being as the horse ;
there are, however, but five rema.oing, three in the upper
and two in the lower jaw. The house of the legs, ribs, and
vertebrae have separated, probably in 00 transit from where
they were found, as no readier means :could be adopted
than placing them in a sack.

other Medicine or the kind. The trial of a Single Box will
satisfy any person of their pre-eminent value, as a perfectly safe
and effceltial Aperient Medicine.
They are prepared without a particle of mercury or any
other mint ral, ;Ind their qualities are not injured by time, or
any changes:l climate whatever. They require no confinement
nor alteration of diet., and moderate exercise promotes their

restore the tone of tly. Stomach, strengthen the digestive or-
gans, and icy mnrate the general functions of the whole body,

The Rev. Mr. HAwTREE said that the Abo
rigines instead of being hunted down as in other
Colonies, would be civilized, and every means
would be used to induce them to amalgamate with
the settlers.
" The Ladies."

This toast was acknowledged by Mr. G. HUN-
TER, who is going out to New Zealand with six
daughters, and four sons.
In returning thanks for his health being drunk,
Mr. E. G. WAKEFIELD said that this colony,
unlike any other at its first settlement, would
possess all the advantages derivable from a perfect
currency, as the Bank of Australia had sent out
an Agent and Clerks to establish a branch in the
colony. The venerable Society for the propagation
of the Gospel in Foreign Parts had also lent their
assistance for the establishment of regular religious
observances. He could not let that opportunity
pass without bearing his testimony to the kindness
and assiduity of Mr. Soames, who had never been
found wanting when assistance was required, whe-
ther pecuniary or otherwise.
Various other toasts were then proposed, and
drank, and on arriving at the Fresh Wharf,
about eleven o'clock, the health of the Chairman
was proposed and drank, and the company sepa-
rated.

These are the first ships that have sailed with
settlers, but an exploring expedition left this
country in April. The ships are fully loaded, and
600 tons of goods belonging to the settlers are now
in the docks waiting for a conveyance. Among
these goods are several wooden houses, so that a
city will be erected in the settlement in a very short
space of time.

announced ON A BALLOON.—Mr. Brown
announced that he would ascend from the Park yesterday
in his balloon, a considerable number of persons attended,
when, owing to the gas-works being unable to supply the
required quantity of gas,. Mr. Brown was obliged to post-
pone his ascent. A ruffian exclaimed, " I will tear the
balloon to pieces, if you don't go up ;" and the fellow,
assisted by others, actually carried his threat into execu-
tion by tearing up the machine, and carrying away in
triumph a great portion of it.—Sheffield Iris.
UNITED SERVICE CL ÜBII 0 USE.—Mr. Fenn
still continues at the apartments at the clubhouse nearly
convalescent. He has been connected with the club nearly
fourteen years, having first filled the situation of footman,
and by degrees gradually advanced himself to the office of
Secretary. As soon as the robbery was discovered, the
Committee met, and det ermined, for the satisfaction of all
I parties, to call in (in ad( lition to Mr. Fenn's medical at-
tendant), the aid of Mr. Bransby Cooper, who, upon exa-
mination, pronounced M r.. Fenn not to have been seriously
injured. Although it is stated that there was 1271. in the
cash box, not more than about,79/. belonged to the club,
the remainder being the private property of the wounded
man. An extraordinaryr meeting of the Committee is to
take place to.merrow, i then a searching investigation will
take place into every circumstance connected with the
affair. The greatest s ecieey is still observed.
BERLIN AND RRUSSIA.-The next exhibition
bids fair to become very interesting. M. Kruger has
nearly finished his ',Tien did show-picture, made by com-
mand of the King, and which will contain portraits of the
most eminent Prussian statesmen, men of science, and
artists. The chapel, w'hich is about to be erected in Po-
sen to the memory of the two Polish Kings, Micislaus and
Boleslaus, a work which is superintended by Count Rac-
zynski, is about to bp?: fin ished. The two Monarchs intro-
duced Christianity into Poland. The building is truly
splendid. On the pitafond, figures of the Slavian Saints,
St. Adelbert, Nepon our en, &c., are painted on a gold
ground.—Art Union.
On Monday las%, an extraordinary large seal was
taken in Cliff Creek , where the fellow had run aground.
He was brought to C.ilravesend by his captors, and was pur.
chased by Mr. Ho oker, and presented to the Zoological
Gardens, where h a is now performing his aquatic gambols
in the large lake much to the amusement of the visitors.
