CONFESSIONS OF A THUG.
By CAPTAIN MEADOWS TAYLOR,
Of the Service of his Highness the Nizam.
" Characterised by all the startling incidents of romance,"--
Nlorning Herald.
" Every page of these volumes is replete with the deepest
interest. The reader will be wrapped in amazement at their
tales of horror."—Dispatch.
" These confessions, though given in the form of a story,
carry with them the full impress of their authenticity. The
work must necessarily excite great interest."—Sunday Times.
" The admirers of romances will have a treat in this work,
such as they have not had for years ; for not one of those
publications contain so many fearful scenes ; while the truth
and reality of these will lend them an interest such as no mere
fiction can excite. "_Atlas.

present at a riotous meeting forsooth, when the only riot
was caused by the irruption of the yeomanry, and the bru-
tal and illegal conduct of the special constables. That
those apprehended, who are working men, may stand no
(chance of bail, 2001. is required by the Magistrate for each
person.
The first intimation given that the peace of the town
was to be disturbed was given on Sunday evening, by the
arrival by post of twenty-five of the A division of police,
who were forthwith quartered in the barracks. On Tues-
day morning the Magistrates held a meeting, and hand-
bills were circulated in the afternoon, cautioning all per-
sons that a Chartist meeting, of which notice had been
previously given to be held in the market-place, would
not be permitted in the town ; which meeting was on this
account adjourned. About four o'clock a party of police
was marched into the market-place, armed with pistols
and cutlasses, who surrounded the house of Mr. W. Potts,
surgeon, &c.' of this town ; and he not being at home,
they carried his brother, Mr. F. Potts, before the Magis-
trates, where he was charged with having been present,
the last evening at Westbury, and while he was waiting,
the arrival of witnesses to prove his being in Trowbridge,
during the whole of the time he was alleged to have been
in Westbury, Mr. John Clark, one of the Bench, contrary
LO all gentlemanly and just feeling, was endeavour-
-12.1_2* to prove he must have been there. During the
and one
time hie house was searched by a constable
'ln° of the police, without any warrant

Whtle this was about a policeman knocked down
a yeunger brother in the shop, and for some time kept a

Mr. W. Potts had gone to meet with W. Roberts, Esq.,
of Bath, who was to have addressed

that he might give him notice o its the

arrested him just as he was entering wn, and carried I
him before the Magistrates, where, after a short examipa- I

A report prevails that the first operations of the new
Ministry will be to put into commission ten or twelve sail
of the line; in case of need, in some parts of the country,
the yeomanry to be called out to act against the Chartists,
in case the regular troops should be wanted for Ireland;
and a loan to defray the expenses.
In the early part of the morning Consols had a buoyant
appearance, and reached 931 to for the Account, owing
to the Bears being alarmed that a further rise would take
place, they purchased stock, which caused the market to

this evening. There is a rumour of some disturbances
having taken place in the Potteries ; but as nothing defini-
tive has been ascertained, we forbear from giving currency
to the reports that are afloat :

Champion Office, Half•past Three o'clock.
We have stopped the press to announce that a report
has just arrived in town of the military having fired on
the people in Birmingham, and having :created a great
slaughter. We do not know what credit to attach to it,
as we have not time to make inquiry, but we are not with-
out our apprehensions upon the subject.
We are told that Mr. Rogers, the celebrated poet,
will shortly lead to the altar Miss Claike, a young lady of
great personal attractions.

POLICE PERSECUTION.

Mr. 'WOODHOUSE, a Delegate deputed to attend a
meeting to be held last night at the Birdcage-walk,
Bethnal-green, reported that no meeting was held, in
consequence of the interference of the Inspector of Police.
That official waited on the landlord of the public-house
where the meeting was intended to be held, and told him
that if he should allow any assembly in his house, he would
run the risk of losing his licence.—( Shame, shame.) This
threat had such effect on the landlord, that he would not
permit the meeting to go on.
Soon after the thanks of the meeting were given to the
Chairman, upon which the meeting dissolved.

JAMAICA.

A meeting of Noblemen, Gentlemen, Planters, and
Merchants interested in and connected with the colony of
Jamaica, took place this day at the Thatched House Ta-
vern, St. James's-street, for the purpose of considering
what steps it might be necessary to take in reference to the
Bill lately introduced into Parliament for the suspension
of the Constitution of Jamaica. Among those present we
observed Earl St. Vincent, the Earl of Harewood, Sir
Alex. Grant, Sir Wm. Dalling, Sir E. East, Mr. God-
son, M.P., and Mr. R. Bernal, M. P.
At half-past one o'clock, the Earl of HAREWOOD was
called to the Chair, and read the advertisement calling
the meeting.
Mr. BURGE, agent for Jamaica, said it had appeared to
him after the proceedings in the the House of Commons on
Monday night last, that the occasion presented itself, and
that it was exceedingly important that the great pro-
prietary interest of Jamaica should express to the people of
England, that the result of these proceedings had not,
in the slightest degree, altered or diminished the anxiety
they had at all times felt to promote that spirit of legislation
in the Colony of Jamaica, which was best calculated to
promote the beneficial working of the great measure of
emancipation. That so far from that anxiety being di-
minished it had rather been increased, because it was ob-
vious that these proceedings might lead individuals to ex-
ercise various opinions upon the motives which influenced
them and the people of Jamaica. It was therefore of the
greatest importance that the great Proprietary of Jamaica
in that country should set themselves right with the public,
and set the public right with regard to them. It ap-
peared also important that they should avail themselves
of the present occasion, to convey to their fellow colonists
the impression which they had received from the recent
proceedings, and the reasonable expectations which they
formed that the House of Assembly and the people of
Jamaica would carry out that spirit which, or. several oc-
casions, they had expressed their confident belief would b'
successful in promoting that legislation. However painful
it might be to the people of Jamaica to have their
conduct and motives misrepresented, yet it would be gra-

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—(YESTERDAY.)
The room was so crowded from an early hour until a quarter
to seven, that it was as difficult to move as it was to understand
what was going on. The early part of the afternoon was occu-
pied in comparing books, after which there was some betting at
prices which varied more than once in the course of the day.
At the opening Ceesar was backed for a hundred and fifty pounds
at 7 to 1 ; this: had the immediate effect of diminishing the
offers to 13 to 2, and to increase those against Dragsman to 6
to 1; two or three parties would have taken 6to 5 between the
two. As the evening approached fhe Cmsarites displayed less
confidence, and Dragsman's friends " coming up" in force, the
odds changed to 11 to 2 against the latter, taken to a consider-
able amount, and 7 to 1 against Cmsar, without takers. Euclid
was in some force at 9 to 1, to which price Clarion gave way
with a small and feeble party. The Corsair declined to 11 to 1,
and was without backers. The Dey of Algiers received his coup
de grace, as the figure affixed to his name will make plain
enough. Sleight-of-Hand, Melbourne, Deception, and Valain-
court, at the prices given below, had a host of friends. The
other changes were too slight to require notice.

ably to Act of Parliament ; being the Manufacturers in all its

Tho system upon which this is conducted precludes the pos-
sibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as
no house in London can manufacture at their prices. 'F he
Society wishes it to be thoroughly understood that they do not
receive hawked goods for sale, like the baracers and haber-
dashers, but they make every article themselves, which enables
them confidently to warrant their goods of the best materials,
and if any fault appears within twelve months, it will be made
good free of charge. A trial is earnestly solicited of those about
to furnish, as the only criterion by which the merits and de-
cided advantage of purchasing at this establishment can be fairly
estimated.
The funds of this Society provide for the members in sick-
ness, old age, and burial ; they therefore sincerely hope that
their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage.

PRICE sd,

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Last evening will be celebrated in the annals of the
Opera as having witnessed the first appearance on any
stage of Mademoiselle Pauline Garcia, the sister of poor
Malibran. This young lady possesses a good
figure, and a very expressive countenance ; her eye
is beautiful, although not quite so brilliant as her
sister's ; her complexion is dark, and her hair a beauti-
ful dark brown. Her hand and arm are finely moulded.
Her voice clear, powerful, flexible, and of very
considerable compass, three clear octaves, at least, ac-
cording to some accounts. The part of Desdemona,
In Rossini's opera of Otello, was the one chosen
for her debut. The music was composed ori-
ginally for Signora Colbran and on her retire-
ment the opera was laid on the shelf, until revived by
Pasta, because no prima donna could be found possess-
ing sufficient compass of voice to execute the
music allotted to Desdemona ; yet this music
was admirably and efficiently executed last even-
ing by this young lady, who is only just nineteen,
and executed correctly and without apparent
fatigue or effort. In the earlier part of the evening she
was evidently suffering much from timidity and ner-
vousness, in consequence of which, she rather
under-acted the part at the commencement, but
she acquired courage as she proceeded, and
got through the second and third acts triumphantly ;
her " Che Smania" in the second act, drew down thun-
ders of applause, which it richly merited ; and her man-
ner of giving " Contenta io moriro " at the conclusion,
was worthy of Malibran herself. Throughout the
third act she was admirable, and her " Assisa a pie
d'un salice" was surpassed by none of her predecessors.
Althogether we consider this the most promising
first appearance on these boards for a long time
past. She was led on at the end of the
second act by Lablache, and was received
with waving of handkerchiefs and loud plaedits.
At the conclusion of the opera she was called for a
second time, and led on by Rubini, when she again met
with a most enthusiastic reception. Rubini, Tambu-
rini, and Lablache, were the Otello, lago, and Elmira, so
that nothing could be better than the cast of last evening.
The ballet of Une Nail de Bal concluded the evening's
performances. Her Majesty was not present. The
house, although well filled, was not so crowded as we
have frequently seen it during the present season.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 20.
SMALL V. ATTWOOD.

This morning Mr. K. BRUCE continued his defence
of the judgment of the Vice. Chancellor, and the fur-
ther hearingof the appeal was postponed until Tuesday.

HOLLOWAY V. TREVANION.

This was an appeal against the decision of the Vice-
Chancellor' who had ordered the tenants of an estate inp
Cornwall, belonginc, to the defendant, who had paid
their rent to Mr. Coode, the solicitor, who was a mort-
gagee, to attorn to the receiver appointed by the Court,
and to repay the money. The defendant, Mr. Coode,
appealed against this decision ; he was a mortgagee in
fee of a part of the estate called Nine Stones, and in
that character had received his rents ; the decision of
the V;eo-Chancellor was contrary to several cases quoted.
In defence of the judgment it was contended that no no-
tice had been given to the plaintiff in the suit of the
mortgage, nor did he at this moment know the property
over which Mr. Coode put forth a claim ; and even if
the claim existed, it could not be enforced until the
Court was in possession of a description of the part over
which the defendant's rights existed.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the order of the
other Court was wrong : a mortgagee in possession
could not be deprived of his legal right over a property
by a motion for a receiver, but in this case he would
make an order that it should be ascertained over what
part of the estate the defendant's right extended, and
that the receivership should not extend to that.

AT ATHENS.

FREEHOLD ESTATE WITHIN a MILE of the ACRO.
POLLS and CITY, a CHATEAU and HUNTING VILLA,
with 380 ACRES of LAND.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS, with feelings of
unmixed pleasure and satisfaction, makes known that he
is' honoured by having been selected as the humble individual to
OFFER for SALE by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Mart,
London, OTI TRURSDAY, the of AUGUST, at Twelve, a SIN-
GULA ELY DELIGHTFUL FREEHOLD PROPERTY. And
he is proud to add that it is the FIRST ATTEMPT at a SUB-
MISSION to PUBLIC OPINION and COMPETITION of a
DISTINGUISHED ESTATE SO FAR REMOVED FROM
ENGLAND.

THIS IMPORTANT ESTATE
is within one mile of '

it embraces nearly

THE CITY OF ATHENS,

FOUR HUNDRED. ACRES OF LAND
Within its plains, and a
CHATEAU AND HUNTING BOX,
WITH EXTENSIVE GARDENS,

Before Mr. Robins ventures upon his fearfully difficult task, h e
may well ask for a little forbearance with a kind public, in not
criticising too earnestly ortoo severely this, his first essay as connected
with an attempt to describe a splendid estate so nearlyallied to

THE CLASSIC CITY OF ATHENS,
and so far removed from the usual sphere of his vocations—the city and
its vast renown he may safely leave to those who are well read in
the history of Greece ; his task, fortunately, is only to give in
the language of truth, however imperfectly told, an unpretending
description of the property under review. As it would require
the pen of the immortal Byron to do it adequate justice, the
writer may be well excused for approaching it with fear and
trembling; he will however venture only at a round, un
varnished tale, leaving to the imaginative powers of those who seek
such a splendid repose, to fill up the vast, immeasurable space, which
his feeble effort must leave unaccomplished. The Villa may be
thus succinctly described : L. is suited to a family not very large,
but whose minds are embued with reminiscences of the glory of this
once famed city.

SOUTH AMERICA.

FROM RIO DE JANEIRO. —NEW BRAZILIAN TARIFF.-By
the William Price, from Rio de Janeiro, the editors of the
Baltimore Patriot have a letter from their correspondent,
of the sth of May, which advises us of an important altera-
tion in the tariff of Brazil. We make the following extract
from his letter:—

" Rio de Janeiro, May 15.
" We have to notice a decree materially altering the du.
ies on some of our principal articles of import, These

alterations are—

" Ist. On wines and all spirituous liquors, the duties on
which will be raised to 50 per cent., except on such as
may be the production of countries with which Brazil has
at present treaties in force.
" 2d. The duties on liquids in general, and on flour,
will be levied on weekly valuation, fixed by a commission
specially nominated. These alterations to be enforced
from the Ist July next, and to continue for the following
financial year.
.6 We beg to call your attention particularly to the law,
as it will, for the present at least, very materially in-
crease the duties on flour, which article at present bears
a Custom-house valuation of only 1211000 dols per barrel ;
or much below what it will be undoubtedly valued at in

*uture.
" With regard to politics we have nothing new to ad.
At Monte Video nothing very important has trans

vise.

pired.
At Rio Grande affairs are rather more favourable for
the imperial cause, although the change of Ministry here
has given a•check to active movements in that quarter for
the present."
London, England, 1839-07-22

THE MARKET.

Ashes—Without any material change in price. Cotton
—The sales quite moderate, and the prices of the lower

Without any great change since Wednesday. Naval
stores as before noticed.
