packages into the street. By this time a host of
had characters had assembled, for the purpose of
plunder, and one of his friends had his pocket picked
of a handkerchief and a pipe worth five guineas.
The trunks were tumbled about the street twice
more in the way to the watch-house, where com-
plainant first presented the aforesaid letter to the
night constable, who refused to look at it.
Evans explained, that Mr. Daly had not learnt to
read.

The Captain next proposed to leave two of his
friends as hostages, as he should lose his passage if
the luggage were detained any longer. The night
constable, however, insisted on examining the trunks,
and witness proceeded to open them till he was
satisfied, but with his porter disabled, his truck
broken, his ropes cut, and his luggage disarranged,
it was impossible to prcceed.
A gentleman observed, the complainant should
have had some passport given to him.
" Yes, the passport system will, I suppose, be
the next alteration," replied Sir Peter, smiling.
The Captain observed that somebody said " -
the man" when be was flung down.
Sir PETER replied, that what had been said was
not so material as the propriety of stopping the truck.
He then questioned the watchman, the inspector,
and night constable, Whose 'account of the affair
agreed with the complainant's in substance. When
the porter was asked what.he had in the truck, he
said he did not know, but his employers were close
at hand. Then the Captain came up and said a po-
liceman was coming who knew all was right, but as
no policeman did come, the watchman thought fit to
send for his inspector, and leave the case to his dis-
cretion. The inspector thought it necessary to search
when the Captain refused to open a particular trunk.
One of the Captain's friends said, he would see the
inspector----,before he should examine the trunks
in the street. The examination was finished in time
for the Captain to proceed if he had chosen, but his
friends advised him not to go, but to complain to
Mr. Somebody in- Scotland-yard. The watchman
even offered to repack the luggage, and draw the
truck.

Sir PETER said the mischief arose from the pc-
'iceman not formally giving up his charge to some
city officer, on reaching the boundary.

Case dismissed.

because he conceived it was a matter of too much
importance to be decided except by a jury, and he
had no doubt. but that the Commissioners had taken
the same view of the subject, and continued tine
man in order that his dismissal might not prejudice
the case. The defendant was then held to bail,
himself in 201., and two sureties in 401. each. Too
publicans afterwards came forward to bail him,—
a circumstance which the Magistrates observed
upon.

A young man of the name of Charles CaHeat,
and Anne his wife, were finally examined at this
office on :Saturday, before Mr. LMNG and Mr.
ROGERS, on a charge of coining.
It appeared in evidence, that on Saturday even-
ing, the 24th of April, four police-constables be-
longing to the le,ter G. division, who had previous
information given them that the prisoners were in
the habit of coining, proceeded to their lolgiags in
the front room, second floor, of the house No. 30,
Lower Northampton-street, Clerkenwell. Through
a crevice in the door, the constables first perceived
the prisoners sitting at a table by the fire-place in
the act of coining. The man was stripped, and
had his shirt-sleeves tucked up ; he held in his hand
a mould, and seemed to be pouring into it the liquid
metal, while the woman was cleaning off with emery
paper a heap of newly-made coin that lay on the
table. The constables immediately burst the door
open end rushed in together, when the male prisoner
bounced up in great agitation, and letting the mould
drop from his hand, he exclaimed," Oh, I'm done!"
At the same instant the woman exclaimed, " Oh,
you villains," and struck Se:pant Love, one of the
constables. She then trampled upon one side of
the mould, which lay on the floor, until she reduced
it to powder, it being made of plaster of Paris, and
endeavoured equally to demolish the ether side, but
was prevented. After the strictest search had been
made, the prisoners were conveyed away to the
watch-house.

The prisoners, who appeared to be greatly affect-
ed, declined to say any thing in their defence. They
stated that they were tnan and wife, but had no

They were fully committed to New= ate for trial.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, MAY I.—The Pallas, 42, Captain
Fitzclarence, which sailed from this port on the
22d July, last year, for Calcutta, with Lord Dal-
housie and the Bishop of Calcutta on board, arrived
from that Presidency yesterday, having left Cal-
cutta on the 7th January. She has brought to
England Lord Combermere and Staff, late Corn-
mander-in-Chief in India, his Lordship having been
succeeded by the Ent of Dalhousie. The Pallas
touched at Madras, from which she sailed on the
16th January (where she left the Satellite, 18,
Commander Laws); the Cape of Good Hope,
which she quitted on the 7th March (leaving there
the Maidstone, 46, Commodore Schomberg, and
Falcon, 10, Commander Colpoys); St. Helena,
from which she sailed on the .20th March, and
Ascension on the 28th. The Southampton, 52,
was at Penang. The Challenger, 28, Captain Fre-
mantle, sailed from Madras on the 14th January,
with a freight of silver, for Calcutta. The Tweed,
28, Captain Lord J. Churchill, and Jaseur, 18,
Commander Lyons, were at the Mauritius. The
s, E poir was on her passage from St. Helena to the
Cape. The Pallas, on her arrival at St. Helena,
fell in with the Sybille, Commodore Collier, and
with the Dallas, her tender. The Sybille was per-
forming strict quarantine, in consequence of the
sickly state of her crew. Lieutenant Carrington,
Royal Marines, died at sea on the 28th February.
Lieutenant Greene, invalided from the Sybille, died
at sea on the 29th March. The Dallas had cap-
tured, between March, 1829, and January, 1830,
four Brazilian schooners, having on board 1,595
slaves.

The Sybille was to sail for the Coast, touching
at Ascension, on the 27th March. The Chanticleer
was lying at Ascension. Great consternation pre-
vailed at Calcutta on account of the failure of the
house of Palmer and Co. It was understood they
had stopped payment for three millions sterling.
The Earl of Dalhousie was sworn in, and took his
seat in the Council, and command of the Army,
on the Ist of January. The Pallas passed Terceira
or: the 21st ult., when all seemed quiet. The only
vessel cruising there was a brig, apparently a Por-
tuguese man of war. The Pallas has been extremely
healthy, not having lost one man who sailed in her
from England. She has brought home several rare
and valuable animals, viz., a Royal Bengal tigress,
so tame that she runs loose about the deck ;
cheeta, or Indian hunting leopard; a very fine spe-
cimen of the elk (the female' unfortunately died on
the passage); an Angola goat, and a variety of an-
telopes, &c.
Extract of a letter dated Constantinople, March
25, 1830 :—" We hear from Tiflis, that the Russian
troops at Erzeroum are busily employed in repairing
and strengthening the fortifications, and that they
are to keep possession of that place, it addition to
the other concessions made to theta by the Turks.
In the boon stipulated to be paid at the peace of
Adrianople, the Russians have made a considerable
abatement, but the Turks give up the fairest portion
of Armenia. Mr. Gordon, the British Ambassador,
has strongly remeastrated against this arrangement,
not only to the Reis Effendi, but to the Russian
Ambassador. The possession of Erzeroum is a great
point gained by the Russians, as it at once opens to
them a trade to India, down the Euphrates and
Tigris rivers -into the Persian Gulf. A stronger
blow could not be stiuck against India than this
arrangement gives. Tile Persians and Turks are so
completely under the thumb of the Russians, that
the trade will be uninterrupted. Mr. Gordon and
the Austrian Ambassador have also insisted on the
Porte granting the same facilities of passing the
Dardanelles to vessels of their respective nations as
the Russians are to enjoy."
We have letters from his Majesty's ship Win-
chester (with the flag of Vice-Admiral Griffith Col-
pays), bearing date Barbadoes, March 13. She was
to sad on the following day for Jamaica, leaving in-
structions at Barbadoes for Vice-Admiral Fleming,
should the Winchester not fall in with the Barham,
to join the former officer at Jamaica.
The Russian fleet, from Malta, of four sail of the
line, four frigates, and four coevettes, with three
Admirals' flags flying, passed the Isle of Wight, for
the North Sea, at day-light yesterday morning;
they were spoken with off I3eachy Head in the after-
noon, by the Nelson, pilot vessel, Buxev, master.
The following is extracted from a letter we have
received, dated Toulon, April 26, 1830 :—" It is
said here that Prince Leopold is not so anxious to
assume the sovereignty of Greece, as the Courts of
France, Russia, and England are desirous of his
tilling that high station. His Royal Highness ob-
jects to the confined limits of his kingdom—insists
on having a larger body of French troops than it is
contemplated to send, and says he cannot go with-
out money. This first objection cannot now be oh-
viated—he must be content with the range of coun-
try prescribed for him. His wish for additional
troops w:11 be attended to, and the 57th regiment
(1,600 strong) is forthwith to embark at Toulon for
the Morea, where the French force will be increased
to 8,000 men. As to motley, lie was offered on
Monday last, through a Marshal of France, twenty
millions of francs, from the Prince. de Polignae, with-
, out effect. On the other band, the Greeks ate ex-'
