MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday a tall, well-dressed man White. residing
in the New-road., end who described himself as an agent to
the Glass Works Company at South Shields, was brought
up in custody of a constable of the S division and placed at
the bar before Mr. HOSKINS and Lord MONTFORD, on the fol-
lowing charge of highway robbery
Mrs. Ann Wheatley, a respectable widow, of advanced age
and very infirm, deposed that she lived at No. 16, Upper
Park-place, Dorset-square, and that on the previous evening,
about seven o'clock, as she was walking along the New-road
towards home, she was accosted near Trinity Church by the
prisoner, who, observing that she was holding against her face
a handkerchief, asked her if she was suffering from the tooth-
ache? She replied that she was not, and he then asked her
how far she was going, at the same time proffering his arm.
She refused to accept it, and desired him to leave, but he still
kept close to her, and forcibly dragged her into the Regent's
Park, at the entrance called Park-gate, when he conducted
himself towards her in an indecent manner, and, introducing
his 1194 fttto her pocket, stole therefrom 17s. in *aver,

THE LATE DREADFUL STORM.
The Courant of Thursday reports no case of shipwreck on
the coast, nor does there appear to have been any loss of life
en shore, although the storm raged with great violence. About
four O'clock on Monday morning the gale somewhat abated,
but at intervals blew with with great fury until noon of that
day, when it gradually died away. Had the storm occurred
through the day, instead of at night, the consequences would
doubtless have been much more serious.
The Glasgow Chronicle contains a long list of vessels
on shOre, or damaged, at Troon, from which port most
disastrous details are brought. A Correspondent of this
Paper writes :—" The storm began about eleven on the even-
ing of the 6th, at S. by W., and gradually increased, and
veering round to West. When about five on the morning of
the 7th it seemed to have assumed more of the hurricanes
or tornados of tropical climates, than even the most
violent storms that have ever been experienced here. The
harbour was unfortunately full of vessels, and some of them
large for coasters ; and I am sorry to say, that in about an
hour after the tempest appeared to reach its height, the ves-
sels began to break adrift from the harbour. To the
seamen on board the feeling must have been awful : for
though the moon was up. there was little light, and the
vessels were crashing against each other fearfully, carry-
ing away masts, bowsprits, &c. A dozen had got adrift
nearly about the same time, and several others soon fol-
lowed. At daybreak the scene was truly distressing.
Upwards of twenty vessels on the strand, some filled
with water, others filling, while shortly afterwards the
seamen of some were seen on the rigging. There was great
apprehension that there might be a serious loss of lives, as
it was thought no boat could be pulled off to them, and the
life boat was sent for to Irvine; but, dreading its late ar-
rival, eight brave seamen manned a boat, and proceeded to
the vessels where the crew appeared to suffer most. The
attempt was daring in the extreme at the outset ; but after
landing one boat full, there came a lull, and about forty sea-
men were thus landed. The life boat came in the after-
noon, and was used to take off four seamen from a vessel
ashore in a more exposed situation, where a boat could not
have been sent.

About one a small sloop was seen approaching a rocky
shore, and soon came on with a terrible crash, where she is
likely to go to pieces. The crew were fortunately all saved.
It is uncertain whether there are any drowned ; we think there
cannot be more than one or two. In the afternoon the storm
abated, but towards night it increased, and has now for some
time been raging at N. W. almost as heavy as ever, accom-
panied with heavy snow showers, and I am afraid the work of
destruction, only half begun on the previous night, will, by
this morning, be completed. Many have lost their little all
particularly sailors." ,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Jr hrt Boileau, a person formerly holding the rank of Lieu-
tk-nant in the 90th Regiment of Foot, was brought before
Mr. DYER, charged with having defrauder' Mr. Grace, pro-
prietor of the Colosseum Tavern, by means of a fictitious
halflpayinstrument,

M. Grace said he had known the prisoner slip.htly for
about two years. On ascertaining that the half pay certi-
ficate was quite valueless, he caused the prisoner to be taken
into custody.
The spurious draft was upon Cox and Greenwood, a clerk
from whose house proved the fraud.

The prisoner begged to be sent to the prison from
whence he had come until the day of trial.
Mr. DYER said he had no power to make out his commit-
ment otherwise than to Newgate.
The prisoner was then removed.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, JAN. 11.—THE COTTON TRADE.--The
spinners and manufacturers are still at sea, not knowing to
what extent speculators may deem it prudent still further to
carry their operations. On this point it is the general opinion
that the price of goods and yarns must turn, without any
special demand or otherwise. Owing, however, to the Liver-
pool market having become the turn easier for purchasers,
there was a little more inquiry for both goods and yarns yester-
da) and to-day, than on Tuesday; and for both full prices were
made on all such transactions. The amount done, however,
is by no means large. The demand for Fustians is good, and
the production of this article, large as it is, scarcely, keeps
pace with the demand. Stocks in first hands are decidedly
low. The general trade is moderately good.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—There has been only a very
limiter; business done this week, and the rates obtained will
by no means justify the expectations of the growers, high as
the manufacturers may deem them. Prices on the whole may
be called steady.
BRADFORD, THURSDAY.—.There was by no means a large
business done to-day, still the manufacturers wore very firm in
their demands ; and, though many attempted to realize higher
rates, they did not, we think, in any case succeed. It would
seem that a brisker demand for foreign markets can alone es-
tablish an advance.

YARNS.—The demand continues good, and stocks being
low, spinners readily command the late advanced rates, and
with every prospect of being able to continue them.
WooL.—There would seem to be, at last, a stop to the rise in
wool, and there is nothing different to report on this article to
that of last week.
LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FRIDAY, JAN. 11.—The
demand for butter has been by no means brisk, and as the
stocks in hand are understood to be very considerable, a dispo-
sition exists to quit, and the consequence has been a reduction
of Is. to 2s. on the best kinds, and more on inferior qualities.
The bacon market may be pronounced steady, with a fair
business doing, especially for light prime stuff. Lard fully
maintains our last quotations, with a good demand. Christ-
mas being turned, there is not that brisk demand for Belfast
hams, and such may be bought a little lower. No variation in
beef or pork.
London, England, 1839-01-12

BETT'S PATENT BRANDY.—To guard the
Public against being misled by the numerous imitators of
the Pateht Brandy, and to assure them of the utter futility of all
attempts to rival that celebrated article, the Patentees need only
state that the peculiarly wholesome properties of their Brandy—
attested by many eminent Chemists, and frequently published since
its introduction in 1829—are secured by Patent Right, which, in
itself, forms a sufficient guarantee, if purchasers be careful to esta-
blish the identity of the article.
The only Establishment of J. T. Betts and Co. is the Distillery,
No. 7, Smithfield.bars, leading to St. John-street, where the Pa-
tent Brandy may be had, either pale or coloured, in quantities not
less than two Gallons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon,
for Cash on delivery.

IRELAND.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OP LORD CASTLEMATNE. —On Tuesday
we briefly announced the death of this Nobleman. His Lord-
ship, who had latterly been in delicate health, attempted to
fasten the windows of his apartment on Sunday night, which
had been blown in, and, whilst doing so, a strong gust of wind
drove him backwards—he fell, and instantly expired.—Dublin
Evening Post.
THE LATE STORM.—We should suppose that not an eye in
Ireland was closed in sleep on the night of Sunday last, from
twelve o'clock until day-break. The hurricane was as re-
markable for the immense sweep of its operation as for its un-
paralleled violence. West, North, East, and South, the ma-
ritime as well as the inland counties, have suffered, as far as
our accounts enable us to judge, equally.—Mid.
THE MAILS.-THE PACKETS.—AII the provincial mails have
arrived. We are happy to state that there is no report of any
casualty to the mail and other steam-packets from this port.
The Avon steamer, which left this on Sunday, with the mail,
reached Liverpool yesterday morning, after having put into
Beaumaris for some slight repairs. The Thames, which left
this on Sunday for London, was safe in Milford.—lbid.
THE LANDLORDS AND THE TITHE BlLL.—Henry Villiers
Stuart, Esq., formerly M. P. for the county of Waterford, has
resigned his claim to the tithe rent-charge. Henry Winston
Barron, Esq., M.P. for the City of Waterford, has adopted
a like course. Intimation has also been conveyed to the
tenants on the Jonestown and Curraduff estates in this county,
that their landlord, the Rev. Henry Bolton, will not demand
the tithe rent-charge to which he is entitled under the Act
of last session. William Johnston, Esq., a landed proprietor
of Downpatrick, has resigned his claim to the rent-charge.
Lord Duncannon's tenantry on the Besborough estate have
been directed to pay up the rent-charge, or, in other words, to
pay tithes.

How (said Mr. Oastler) can it be expected that the people of
this country should regret the laws or the constitutions which
countenanced such tyrannic infringements on the people's li-
berty. Mr. Stephens had sent one of his ermons to the offi-
cers of the cavalry regiments to whose custody he had been en-
trusted. That officer received the sermon, and said he thanked
Mr. Stephens for sending it, and he would peruse it. When
the messenger was coming through the barracks the soldiers
said that in future they should not be called the Queen's Body
Guards, but the body guard of Mr. Stephens. —( This announce-
ment was received with the most deafening shouts, which
lasted for a long time.) Have they not reason to put
themselves in a state of self-defence, when a lady, he
was sorry to say it, said in Manchester at a ball, in the presence
of a great many persons, that Mr. Stephens should be hanged,
and that she should feel gratified if the Radicals were put down
by fire and sword.—(Name, name.) He was too old to be
caught doing any such thing. He had before stood his trial for
a libel. Mr. Stephens had told them to arm,e d
andid hneohtadhaildseo
done the same thing, and thank God Yorkshire was
nearly all armed.-(Hear, hear.) H

SURREY SESSIONS.

TUESDAY, SEPT. Lo.
(Before Mr. Hedger, and a Bench of Magistrates.)
HIGHWAY ROBBERY. —Jokn Ansel!, aged 37, and Henry
Ladd. aged 24, were indicted for feloniously assaultitig
John Lee on the Queen's Highway at. Albury, and steal-
ing from his person a five pound Bank of England note,
three sovereigns, and one shilling, his monies.
Mr. CHAMBERS appeared as counsel for the prosecution,
and Mr. GAZELEE for the prisoner Ladd.
John Lee examined—l am a travelling man, and get my
living at times by gathering bones. On the 20th of Au-
gust I was reaping in a field belonging to Mr. Shaw at
Shezr, and about four o'clock on that day I went to a
beer-shop, kept by a person named Grove, in company
with a man named Mundy. The prisoners were there
drinking, and I remained until nearly ten o'clock. I told
the landlady, in the presence and hearing of the prisoners,
that I would lend her a five pound note, if she would give
me good security for it. I afterwards paid for the
beer Mundy and myself had had, and also for the
prisoners', as Ansell said he bad but three
halfpence in hi; pocket—l paid with some silver
which I took out of my breeches pocket. When I
left the house I proceeded towards Albury, and on reach-
ing that place Ansell jumped out of a hedge and struck
me on the left shoulder and knocked me down. He then
took bold of my legs and doubled them up and bent my
head under me, while Ladd unbuttoned my trousers. I
begged they would not hurt me as I was the man
they had been drinking with, and Ansell having
rifled my pockets of a five-pound note and three
sovereigns and some silver, I succeeded in getting
upon my legs, and saw the prisoner Ansell, by the light of
the moon running away. I gave an alarm at a flour-mill
close by, and the prisoners were subsequently apprehended.
Cross.examined by Mr. GA ZELEE—I had been working
all day with Mundy, and I first charged him and Ansel'
before a Magistrate with having committed the robbery.
After some further evidence had been heard, the CHAIR.
MAN summed up, when the Jury found Ansell Guilty, and
Ladd Not Guilty.

The preceding table shows that Whitehaven will be
by much the nearest railway port to Ireland. From
Whitehaven to Donaghadee is only seven miles more
than from Holyhead to Dublin, but the less turbulent
sea will make it a much easier passage. It may hence
also be noticed that Belfast is thus only 31 miles farther
distant from London, via Whitehaven, than Dublin is,
via Liverpool, consequently Belfast will be more than
70 English miles nearer to London by Whitehaven than
by way of Dublin.

RAILWAY DISTANCES.

Greater distance of Preston 4:;

Preston to Lancaster
Lancaster to Whitehaven
Greater distance from London to Whitehaven than

to Liverpool Bl
This additional railway distance of 81 miles will not,
at the present rate of travelling, require more than three
hours. In ordinary weather the mail is conveyed from
Liverpool to Dublin in 14 hours. From Whitehaven
to Donaghadee would be performed in between seven
and eight hours, or to Belfast in nine hours ; hence the
London mail, via Whitehaven, might be delivered at
Donaghadee three hours and a half earlier, or at Belfast
two hours earlier than at Dublin via Liverpool. ...

The Ulster railway, now partially in operation, will,
when completed, afford an inlet from Belfast to an im-
portant central position at Armagh, where the London
mail will thus arrive as early as at Dublin ; and from
this point mails can be dispatched in various directions,
as the following tables will show

EVENING EDITION.
London, England, 1839-09-11

OF THE INTEhIOR.

" They write me from Basle on the 7th—
" • A popular movement, in which four persons have
been killed and seven wounded, has forced the Govern-
ment of Zurich to give in its resignation. A Provisional
Government composed of four members of the Council

and three othc-r persons, has taken the reins until the new
elections. AU this took place yesterday morning. In the
evening tranquillity was re-established.'"
Vie have received various details of this melan-
choly affair, but the most simple as well as the
most copious is the following extract from the
Zurich correspondence of the Morning Chronicle,
dated the Gth instant. After recounting the dis-
putes between the Executive, and the peasants act-
ing under the direction of the Priests, the writer
proceeds as follows :
The Zurich Executive, feeling itself menaced, raised
troops to the amount of 1,100 men; but the other party
knew well that the finances of the Canton would not bear
the keeping up of such a force, and accordingly it was
disbanded in a few days, and reduced to its criginal dimen-
sions. But whilst the Executive was diminishing the
troops. their opponents had spread the report in the eastern
districts of the Canton, that they had called in the aid of
contingents from Luce' ne and from Berne. Enraged
at this, the peasants from these districts flocked into
Zurich this morning, most of them unarmed. The Go-
vernment regretted but too late that the old walls and for-
tifications were destroyed. In the olden time it would
have sufficed to have shut the gates and raised the port-
cullis; but nothing prevented the peasants from entering
the town, and, as their passions were up, they instantly
made for the arsenal to get arms. Hereupon the dra-
goons were ordered to charge. They did so. Such of
the peasants as had &Oaks immediately opened a fire en
the dragoons, who returned it. There were several
killed and wounded—more among the people, who were
crowded, than the dragoons. Unfortunately the first
victim was Councillor Hegetschweiler, one of our most
esteemed citizens.

Though opposed to the Radical party, and considered a
Moderate, Hegetschweiler was so popular, so beloved by
the peasantry, that he was instantly sought out and sent to
appease the mob. He was in the act of reading a procla-
mation, in which the Government promised to leave the
question of its existence or duration to the Grand Council,
which was to assemble on Monday, when he was shot by
a dragoon. He was carried home, and his wound is con-
sidered mortal. This greatly increased the irritation.
The peasants from the side of the Lake crowded in late
in the day, and the Government was obliged to abandon
all idea of resistance. It announced its own dissolution ;
and a Provisional Government has been formed, comprising
some members of the old Executive, M. Muralt being at
its head.
