MARLBORO UGH- STREET.

Yesterday Alfred Grant, a lad about nineteen years of
age, of sullen aspect, was brought before Mr. DYER,
charged with having attempted to stab his mother, and also
with having stabbed his brother with a carving knife.
The mother, a very respectable person, shortly after-
wards entered the office, and with visible reluctance ad-
mitted that the prisoner had made a stab at her, and that
her life was saved in consequence of the knife coming
against the bone of her stays. The mother further added
that it was not the first time the prisoner had attempted
to stab her. He was, unfortunately, addicted to drink,
and when he was under the influence of liquor he was
like a madman.

The prisoner said he was not in drink on Monday ; he
was irritated at some expressions used by his brother rela-
tive to his not having been at work.
Mr. DYER said it was a most fortunate circumstance for
him that his matricidal intentions had not taken effect, for
had his mother's death ensued he would infallibly have
been hanged, amid the execrations of all who were ac-
quainted with his crime.
Mr. DYER then inquired of the mother what punish-
ment she wished him to inflict. He was ready to hold the
prisoner to bail, either for two or twelve months.
The mother seemed to wish to have the prisoner re-
leased, and with what appeared to be foolish lenity merely
required the prisoner to promise " to be a good boy," as
the price of her complete forgiveness.
Mr. DYER, however, would not allow the prisoner to
escape so easy, and accordingly held him to bail until the
next sessions ; at the same time intimating to the mother
that he was satisfied her kindness was entirely thrown away.

the decks lashed one to the other, to keep them down.
On the 15th the pressure was still more severe, we being
then among very heavy ice, several masses of which came
in contact with the ship, and carried away her main keel
and stern-post, besides all her stern-frame under water.
leaving the keel projecting two feet on the left side, where
it still remains. This pressure lifted her out of the water—
fortunately for us, as she was making from six to seven
feet water in an hour. She remained thus until the llth
of July, when she was cut out by a 34-feet saw. During
the nipping season you may fancy it very pleasant, with a
temperature from 50 to 60 degrees, besides a great deal of
sickness. We buried three men, and had already a large
sick list of from 25 to 30, out of a small crew of 60, men
and officers. We have at this moment ten who are unable
to do any work, all from scurvy. As for not going on
with the expedition, when I tell you that we have had
more than once five feet water in the ship, and all the
pumps working, and never less than two, I do not think
you will blame us, as we had no one at hand to give us any
assistance ; besides the ship is only held together by her
chain cable being passed round her in three pieces, as well
as the run being secured by rope-lashings, &c. We were
very fortunate in having fine weather from the time of our
starting to within 400 miles of the Orkney Islands, where
we fell in with a very heavy gale at north-east. We suc-
ceeded in keeping the ship afloat, but that was all—she
having very nearly gone through our fingers ; indeed, she is
so had, that we were obliged to run for the nearest land,
which is this place."

BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY

The half-yearly meeting of proprietors of the Bristol
and Exeter Railway followed the meeting of the Great
Western Company on Thursday, and was held at the Mer-
chants' Hall. The meeting was the most numerous and
respectable of any we have witnessed since the undertaking
was projected. Amongst the company we observed many
of our leading merchants, and several of the Grctlt Western
Directors.

F. RICKETTS, Esq., Chairman, having taken his seat,
opened the business of the day by requesting the Secre-
tary, Mr. Badham, to read the notice by which the meeting
had been convened, which having been read,

The CHAIRMAN said, it was with much pleasure he again
met the proprietors ; but knowing, as he did, that the Re-
port about to be submitted to them contained much matter
of interest, he would not occupy their time with any obser-
vations, but at once call upon their Secretary to read it.

GREECE.

ARGOS, Auo. 8, 1837.—Considerable sensation has been
created lately in the political circles at Athens, in conse-
quence of the following affair. A Signor Usiglio, an Ita-
lian gentleman, lately arrived in Greece, furnished with a
British passport, granted him by the English Minister at
Florence, and regularly endorsed by the Greek Consul at
Malta, has been forcibly expelled from Greece at a few
hours' notice, without any communication being made to
the British Mission at Athens. On a representation being
made to Sir Edmund Lyons, he applied to the Greek Go-
vernment for information on the subject, which, after con-
siderable delay, was granted. The reason which Monsieur
Rudhart has given, in writing, for expelling from the
country a person having a British passport is this—that
Greece cannot be allowed to become the rendezvous of
political intriguers, and that the Government had informa-
tion of Signor Usiglio's being a member of a secret society,
in Italy 1 The English Minister is said to have pro-
tested against the conduct of the Greek Government, and
to have referred the matter home to his own Government.
Most people infer that a secret treaty exists between Austria
and Greece ; indeed it is very evident, by the uniform tenor
of Austrian diplomacy, and her acts in this country, that
she is desirous of acquiring a preponderating influence, or
of bringing Greece to a level with the petty Italian States.
It is also thought that ere long the other European Powers
may hear of a Commercial Treaty between Austria and
Greece, granting the former exclusive privileges, which
would be a fatal blow to the trade with England. In va-
rious parts of Greece brigandage is at its height, and ap-
pears to be tolerated by the Government, as an excuse for
calling in the aid of foreign troops. The Austrians have
just put into active operation a regular line of steam-vessels
between Trieste, Greece, and the Levant. A French
squadron of five sail of the line is expected in these parts.
Altogether this country continues in a sad unsettled state
as regards its internal management, and some how or other
appears to be a doomed land. Commerce is nearly at a
stand, credit is gone, and money has disappeared. Unusually
early rains have done considerable damage to the currant
crops in the Morea and the lonian Islands, just now about
gathering in. The plague, which broke out some months
ago at Poros, was entirely confined to that island, and has
disappeared ; neither has this country yet been visited by,
the cholera. The heat for the last six weeks has been un-
usually intense, and there has been considerable mortality
among children.—Moi ning Post.

other sources. The telegraphic accounts are generally
received at two o'clock in Paris, and are then sent on
to London and Antwerp, for operations in the public
funds. They are next used at the Bourse, and fre-
quently sold there for whatever they will bring, and
then they are published in the Charte at nine o'clock
unless it is deemed prudent to hold them over for the

the despatches have been published in London, and
suppressed at Paris, much to the astonishment and
chagrin of those who received the intelligence out of
the due course ; and we have known occasions where
the information was suppressed altogether, both in
Paris and London. The last announcement, relative
to Portugal, puts a seal on the character of the tele-
graph, and the public will, we have no doubt, make
up its mind not to place credit in it any longer.—

MAD DOGS.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
ELY, SEPT. 12.—Considerable alarm has been excited
here by the melancholy occurrence of four individuals and
several dogs having been bitten by a mad dog. Three of
the sufferers are boys under twelve years of age, and the
fourth a girl about fifteen, and all of them are children of
labourers. Two of the boys are bitten severely—one in
three and the other on two different parts of the body ; and
as the dog was in a highly rabid state, fearful apprehensions
are entertained for the result. A strong impression of the
efficacy of the Caxton medicine prevails in this town and
neighbourhood, arising from its having been frequently ad-
ministered within the last fifty years, apparently with effect ;
and it has been resorted to on the present occasion. A
gentleman resident here tried an experiment with it a few
years since, by administering it to one of two pointers that
had been bitten by the same dog, and by abstaining from
the use of any preventive measures with the other dog.
The latter took the disease and died, while the other
escaped. A boy was bitten last week at Soham, sixteen
miles from this place ; and it is a remarkable circumstance
that a sister of his lost her life about three years since by
hydrophobia occasioned by the bite of a cat. It is in
contemplation here to petition the Legislature against the
use of dog carts.

W ORSHIP- STREET.

Edward Mills, a young man, about 20 years of age, was
placed at the bar, before Mr. Broughton, having been found
in the act of breaking a gas-lamp, for the purpose of being
taken into custody.
It appeared from the evidence of police-constable Henry
James, G 41, that he was on duty in Castle-street, Bethnal-
green, about half-past seven o'clock that morning, when he
observed the prisoner, who was at a short distance before
him, take up a stone which he wilfully flung at a gas lamp.
He missed it, when he took up another stone, with which
he aimed at the glass and broke it. Witness instantly took
him into custody. On his way to the station-house the
prisoner said that he had been three days without anything
to eat, and that he broke the glass in order that he might
be taken into custody, as he could get no employment, and
had no place of residence.
The prisoner, who was without either shoes or stockings,
enlisted about three years ago in the Portuguese service,
where he remained about three years. Sometime ago he
left the regiment. Since his return to England he had en-
deavoured to obtain employment, but without success.
Mr. BROUGHTON asked him why he did not enter the
British army ?—The prisoner -replied that he had offered
to enlist in the East India Company's service ; but they
refused to take him, in consequence of an injury he had in
his foot.

Mr. BROUGHTON then told the prisoner that he should
send him to the House of Correction for six weeks, where
he would receive the best medical attention.

The prisoner was ordered to be provided with food ; but
he stated that they had given him some victuals at the sta-
tion-house. On being removed from the bar he burst into
tears.

STABBlNG.—Yesterday an elderly man, named William
Dairs, a gardener, living at No. 54, Praed-street, Padding.

ton, was charged with stabbing in several places his wife
Jane.

A certificate from Mr. Philpot, the surgeon who at-
tended the poor woman, said she had received two flesh
wounds, and although they were not dangerous she was
not in a fit state to be removed from her bed. _

The prisoner said he took up a knife to cut the candle in
half. The cat put the candle out, and, having a knife in
his hand, he was not aware what was done in the dark.
The prisoner was then remanded till Saturday.
After being a short time in the cell the prisoner went
into a fit, and a surgeon was sent for, who bled him, and
pronounced him to be in a very ill state of health ; in con-
sequence of which the sitting magistrate, Mr. Hoskins,
accepted his son's bail for his appearance as above stated.

Yesterday the inhabitants of the Strand were terri-
bly alarmed by a loud explosion, resembling gunpowder,
taking place in the premises of Mr. Burgess, the old-esta-
blished oil and fish sauce warehouse. On inquiry it was
ascertained by Mr. Burgess that a large 'vessel filled with
pitch, which had lately been. placed in the shop, had ex-
ploded and ignited, and the fire fearfully spreading ; but in
consequence of the timely information given to the fire bri-
gade stations of Chandos-street and Crown-street, the
men and engines from which were in immediate attendance,
the serious destruction of property at first entertained was
prevented.
After a Tory tea drinking at Ratcliffe, the follow-

BALLOONING.

Yesterday there was what is now called a fete day, at
Lord's Cricket Ground, and amongst the promised amuse-
ments there were to, be several partial ascents with Mrs.
Graham's balloon, for the purpose of exhibiting the powers
of a newly invented parachute by a Mr. Hampton. The
exhibition had drawn great numbers to the ground, and
some disapprobation was expressed when no parachute ascent
appeared likely to take place. The fact was, that the in-
flation of the balloon up to six o'clock, was very incom-
plete ; but at last-it was determined- to -make an ascent,
and Mrs. Graham got into the car ; the balloon went a short
distance across the ground, but the ascending power was
evidently insufficient. Mrs. Graham then got out, and a
Mr. Adams, we believe, having divested the car of every
thing it contained, even including ropes and ballast, made
another attempt. The balloon cleared the wall of the ground,
but came with great violence against the chimneys of a cot-
tage at a short distance, some of which it smashed to pieces.
It got clear, but had only proceeded across a bye-lane when
the car became entangled in some trees in an- adjoining gar-
den. Mr. Adams contrived to alight, and amidst great
uproar and confusion the balloon was secured without da-
mage, and conveyed by the Greve-road (about half full of
gas) to the ground. Great complaints were made by the
parties present ; but a promise to attempt the parachute
ascent to-morrow (this day) restored something like order.
The parachute was on the ground, and appeared like a large
chaise umbrella. It is composed of oiled silk and covered
with netting. In principle it does not materially differ
from Garnerin's ; but the crowd around was so great at
the time we saw it, that we are unable to give a very exact
account of it.
THE NASSAU BALLOON.—After a voyage of fifty
minutes, during the latter portion of which the rain fell
very heavily, Mr. Green and his companions effected a safe
landing in a field at Little Haddam, in Hertfordshire, thirty-
six miles from Vauxhall Gurdens. A large number of per-
sons witnessed the descent, and rendered the aeronauts
every assistance. After packing up the balloon, the party
repaired to the Angel Inn, which is situated about a mile
from the place of descent, where a large company were as-
sembled to celebrate " Harvest Home," and they were re-
galed with good old English fare—beef and plum-pudding.
The party returned to town by post the same evening, and
arrived at Vauxhall by half-past twelve o'clock.

Yesterday morning, between twelve and one o'clock,
a fire broke out in the workshops of Mr. Whitlock, coach-
maker, Turnham-green. The policeman on duty disco-
vered the fire and alarmed the inmates. The Brentford,
Acton, and Hammersmith engines promptly arrived, with

was a good supply of water, all exertions could not suppress
the fury of the flames ; the fire communicated to the show-
shop and dwelling-house. The premises, with the stock are
consumed. Mr. Whitlock is on a shooting excursion in the
country. It is not known whether he is insured.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

George Moulder and Sarah his wife, two wretched-
looking objects, were yesterday placed at the bar, charged
with stealing a number of articles of furniture from their
ready-furnished apartments.
It appeared by the evidence of the prosecutrix that the
woman had admitted to her the absence of her furniture,
but had said she did not know where the duplicates were.
On being called for their defence, the man said his wire
had pawned the articles to procure them victuals. lie bad
no chance of getting work, although he had walked for
hours every day to procure it.
The woman shed tears, and observed, " She could not
starve." They were remanded until Friday.

WINDSOR—T UEoDAY.

This afternoon her Majesty, accompanied by the Queen
of Belgium, the Duchess of Kent, and the Marchioness of
Tavistock, drove out in an open, barouche. The Royal
party were followed by Lady Stopford, Countess Merode,
Lady Copley, and others of the Royal suite, in carriages
and pony phaetons. After visiting Cumberland Lodge and
Virginia Water they returned to the Castle at six o'clock.
The King of Belgium visited Claremont. _

The Queen will leave Windsor for town on the Ist or
2d of November next. Her Majesty will remain at Buck-
ingham Palace till after dining with the Lord Mayor, when
the Court will immediately remove to Brighton.
Their Majesties the King and Queen of Belgium will
take their departure from Windsor on Tuesday next, and
proceed direct to Ramsgate, on their route to Belgium.

LONDON.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13,107.

A Cabinet Council will be held at Windsor on the
20th instant, at which it is understood the day for the
meeting of Parliament will be fixed.

The Journalists that labour in the cause of Toryism
have rather up-hill work of it. They roll the stone a
little way, and then it rebounds upon their own heads.
Still they are not deterred from the repetition of the
same task, useless and endless though it is proved to
he, for perseverance is the badge of all the tribe.
They have gone on jabbering about the smallness of
the Ministerial majority, and the impossibility of the
affairs of the country being carried on by Ministers so
feebly supported as they state the MELBOURNE Ad-
ministration to be, until, like the man who told the
sauce lie in the same words so often that at last he
believed it himself, they actually seem to have written
themselves into a dream-like conviction of that of which
every other person sees the absurdity at a glance.
We reminded these self-flattering scribes yesterday
that Sir ROBERT PEEL persisted in retaining office
for three months, in opposition to a majority of the
House of Commons, amounting to upwards of thirty
votes. Does it then become the creatures of the
Tamworth manifesto-monger to find fault with a Mi-
nistry for not immediately resigning when they find
themselves supported by no greater a majority than
forty ? Plus 40 is surely as efficient an instrument
as minus 85, or the deuce is in it. But how do our
opponents answer this plain position of our' ? They
try to shuffle out of the dilemma by propounding as
a sage discovery in political science the truism " that
a party numerically strong enough for victory in oppo-
sition may not be strong enough to carry on the Go-
vernment." A majority of one is enough "to stop
a measure," as the recondite writer whom we have
quoted observes ; and if that small majority be con-
stant it also ought to be enough to oust a Ministry.
What has that to do with the question ? We are not
asserting that Lord MELBOURNE would follow the
example of Sir ROBaRT PEEL in continuing to hold
office though in a minoriti. We know that he has too
nice a sense of honour, as well as too deep a veneration
for the principles of the British Constitution, to pursue
a course so much at variance with both. What we
assert is, that a majority of forty, or even of thirty-
seven, as our Contemporary states it, is perfectly suf-
ficient to enable a Minister, situated as Lord MEL-
BOURNE is at present, to carry on the Government—
aye, and to carry it on more energetically than circum-
stances have hitherto permitted him to do. If it be
not so, let us at least have something more than a
mere ipse dixit for it. Let us have some reason stated
to prove the contrary of our proposition. Let us
know the exact number of the majority that will jus-
tify an Administration in retaining office. To keep
harping on the same string—to he constantly dm-
;ling in our ears that forty is too small a map-
r7ty—is neither one thing nor another. V 4.111

INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before the Chief Commissioner and Mr. Commissioner

Harris.)
MUTILATING BOOES.—George Francis Hull, a tailor,
late of Vauxhall, whose case was before the Court some
time ago, again came up to-day. The insolvent's discharge
was opposed personally by Messrs. Gabriel, woollen-dra-
pers, with whom be had incurred considerable debt under
false representations. The insolvent was opposed on the
ground of having abstracted leaves from his books, and
inserting his mother as a creditor.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER asked the insolvent whether
he had not inserted the name of his mother, as a creditor,
for the purpose of deceiving his creditors
The Insolvent said it might be so construed.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said that it could be for no
other purpose, and the Court would take care not to suffer
a debtor either to mutilate or make false entries in his
books without passir.g upon him a most severe judgment.
Mr. Gabriel said he considered he had great cause of
complaint. The Insolvent had acted in a manner through-
out the case which he felt convinced the Court would con-
demn and severely punish.
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said that the insol-
vent bad offended against the most important Section of
the Act. It was of the greatest consequence that creditors
should be able to ascertain the true state of the affairs of
their debtor. The insolvent in the present case had not
only falsified his books for the purpose of deceiving his op-
posing creditors, but had mutilated them. For this offence
the Court would adjudge him an imprisonment of six
months from the date of his petition.

LAW INT g::LLIGENC.E

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Oer. 7.
Charles .Mason, late of Wine Office-court, bookseller and
publisher, applied upon his petition to be discharged. He
was opposed by Mr. Cooke, for Messrs. Jones and Co.,
Finsbury-square, and by Messrs. Venables and Co. ; he
was supported by Mr. Woodroffe. He had been publisher
of numerous cheap standard works, and his debts amounted
to six thousand pounds. After examining Mr. Southgate,
the auctioneer, Mr. Leighton, the printer, and several
other witnesses, with a view to trace the disposal of the
property, the case was adjourned for the insolvent to
file a complete debtor and creditor account, with seven
days' notice.

Charles Ward Roberts, a master mariner, was opposed on
the part of Sir Bellingham Graham, Bart., and some trades-
men at Portsmouth, as likewise for Mr. Kemp, a bill-
broker. The insolvent was before the Court twelve
months ago, when his schedule had been dismissed. He
had been in custody nineteen months. The insolvent,
in March, 1835, agreed to purchase of Sir Bellingham
Graham the yacht Harriet for 900/. Of that 'sum one
hundred pounds were paid down (which sum was ad-
vanced by one Jack Grig), and the remainder in May
following. The insolvent set about ordering stores
for a trip of pleasure up the Mediterranean, and for an
excursion of twelve months. He was to charge each pas-
senger 1501. He advertised for passengers, and received
three payments. He ordered wine, spirits, and other ar-
ticles for the intended voyage, but stripped the vessel of
part of the fittings, which he sold. He was arrested be-
fore the voyage took place, and the tradesmen of Ports-
mouth secured themselves by taking from the vessel a por-
tion of the goods they had supplied. The other opposing
creditor was the holder of a bill of exchange accepted by
the insolvent, which bill ho got into his possession and then
destroyed it.

The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER adjudged the insol-
vent from the date of filing his petition to eighteen calendar
months' imprisonment, at the suit of Sir Bellingham Gra-
ham and four tradesmen at Portsmouth.
