MORE MONEY THAN WlT.—Charles BarHeti, a
hawker, was charged with having stolen from Mr.
Lewcroft, a cabinet-maker, the half of a 5/. Bank of
England note.
On the preceding evening, it appeared, the com-
plainant entered the Dun Horse public-house, Kings-
land-road, in a state of semi-intoxication, and after tak-
ing a seat in a room where the prisoner was drinking
with several other persons, he called for a pipe of to-
bacco, which he lit with a fragment of paper torn from
a piece which he carelessly pulled out of his pocket
without looking at it. Upon filling his second pipe, he
handed the remnant of the paper to a lad in the room,
whom he requested to light it, but the latter chanced to
cast his eye on it as he was twisting it round, an Per-
ceived that it was part of a .5/. note, which containo
the number 29,499. He returned it to the complainant,
who then recollected that he had put in two .51. notes
loose in his pocket, of one of which it formed the fragment.
The prisoner expressed a desire to inspect the pipe-
light, but he had no sooner received it than he very
coolly thrust it into his pocket. The landlord, on being
called, sent for a policeman, on whose arrival the pri-
soner was searched, but the property was no where to
be found, and the prisoner was accordingly taken to the
station-house.

Mr. BROUGIiTON said that every individual in the
room ought to have undergone a strict search before
they were suffered to leave the place, but as it was p o-
sitively sworn that the prisoner possessed himself of the
property, he should remand him for the present.
The prisoner (who declared himself to be innocent)
was remanded until Saturday next.

CATCHING A TARTAR.—,frchn Samuel Evans, a
me-
dical student, was charged with having presented a
loaded pistol at the head of William Knowles, a porter
at a woollen warehouse in Wood-street, Cheapside.
From the complainant's statement it appeared that
he was walking quietly along Shoreditch at about ten
o'clock on the evening before, when the prisoner came
up with another gentleman and very unceremoniously
thrust him off the pavement into the gutter. As be
thought at first that it was done accidentally he allowed
them to pass on, but perceiving that they served two
young women, and afterwards a respectable looking
man, in a similar manner, he went up and began to
expostulate with them, whereupon the prisoner turned
fiercely round and asked him if he could fight, and
at the same moment pulled out a pistol, which he
presented at him with the exclamation, " Stand back,
or I will shoot you." The complainant immediately
closed with him and gave him a drubbing that black-
ened one of his eyes and brought the blood from his nose.
Mr. BROUGHTON said the prisoner and his friend had
happened to catch n Tartar, who had given them a lesson
he hoped would do them good. In addition to the sum-
mary punishment he had received the prisoner must pay
a fine of 20s. or be imprisoned for one month.—The
penalty was paid.

CONDITION OF SOUTH AMERICA.

We have received private advices from Monte Video
of the date September 20 inclusive. The information
with which they supply us indicates the speedy approach
of a crisis, by the intervention of which the disputes by
whiCh English commerce has long and grievously been
impeded, may be adjusted effectually and at once. The
Entre Rios party have advanced to the neighbourhood
of the capital, and the belligerents are within sight of
each other. The Monte Videans are indebted to those
most attached of all the allies with whom they ever
vamped up a treaty for the nonce, the French, for the
loan of 500 soldiers, whose duty it will be to garrison
the town. A conflict was hourly expected to ensue, but
the opinions hazarded as to the result of it are so various
and conflicting, that the only conclusion to which they
warrant us to arrive is, that the battle will be severely
contested, and that the superior chances of victory on
which either antagonist can rely are slight. A force
under the command of Oribe is preparing at Buenos
Ayres, to confront Lavelle, and, as the latter General is
in a condition to reinforce himself by the accession of a
numerous body of personal friends and adherents, the
result of the expedition is considered to be doubtful.
President Rosas has attempted a fresh emission of
4,000,000 of paper money. The alternatives to which
the oppressed BuenoS Ayreans have been driven are ab-
solutely fearful. In the city there did exist an establish-
ment the funds of which were provided by the voluntary
contributions of the inhabitants, and within the precincts
of which were lodged all those unhappy paupers whom
it hid pleased Providence to deprive of their reason.
The city is besieged by an insolent foe, its trade is
stopped, its tranquillity is destroyed, its internal re-
sources are closed against enterprise, its revenue, once
devoted to the purposes of internal improvement, is
clutched by the griping necessity of preparing a de fence
against an armament dispatched to secure the condem-
nation of the most dastardly and preposterous attempt
which inflated and self-complacent vanity ever allowed a
nation to dare. The merchants are bankrupt—the labour-
ing classes are perishing in the streets—and now forty
maniacs, for witt;ln it was at once hoped that a safe and
certain domicile had provided, are compelled, from
the very pauperism of its inatrons, to be turned out of
the asylum, within the walls o; which they had been se-
cluded, naked, starved, and raving, .I.;ke famished wild
beasts hunted from their lairs, " to sque,:k and gibber"
in the streets of a capital whose undeserved n:isfortunes
forbid it any longer to conceal or protect them.
It is rumoured that Rosas has dispatched an expedi-
tion to Tucuman, a dependency of his province, to check
some outbreak, of the incidents of which we are not
informed.

SPAIN.

The Correspondent of a Contemporary writes as
follows:

MADRID, Nov. 10.—The new Ministry is to be
settled this week. The plan of the Jovellanistas is-
1. To name the Marquis de Miraflores President of
the Council,r with a set of retrograde colleagues.
2. F. o send Count Toreno as Ambassador to Paris,
to maintain the influence of the Tuileries in the affairs
o 1 Spain, and to procure to the Ministry, by means of
ruicous contracts and loans, the money they want to go
on with, to the utter ruin of credit and of the whole
nation.
3. To dissolve the Cortes or prorogue them ; further
preparing for new elections bypacking the provincial
authorities ; to coerce public opinion, and correct

excesses.
4. To declare the most liberal provinces in a state of
siege, and tyrannise all Spain.
5. To name a certain personage of Absolutist me-
mory as Military Governor of Madrid to ' •mar( h
troops to the capital, and, by their removal from La
Mancha, revive the vigour of the faction there.
6. Should Espartero not be disposed to co-operate in
this plan, Generals Cordova and Narvaez are to be
recalled to the service, for which purpose an influential
Jovellanista has been already sent
otoGibralor.

of the peace, to the alarm of the peaceably disposed
inhabitants.
