summer, observed the following notice on a board Horses
taken into grass : long tails, 3s. 6d.: short tails, 25." She

He answered—" You see, Ma'am, the long tails can" brush

that they can hardly eat at all."

OLD BAILEY—(Tins DAY.)

ALLEGED MURDER.—JuIia Barry, aged 18,
was tried for the wilful murder of her infant
child on the 18th of November last. _ _

The prisoner lived servant in the house of Mr. Wesdy.,
grocer, in Lamb's Conduit-street, and on the night in questzon
she was particularly anxious to get the other servants to bed.
The next morning, on Mr. Wesdy going into the privy, he
saw the child in the vault. It was picked up, and found to be
quite dead. The prisoner was observed prior to this to he very
large in the waist, and in the kitchen there were those proofs
that placed it beyond doubt she was the mother of the infant.
However, the indictment charged her with smothering the in-
fant, and the witnesses not supporting it by their evidence, the
Jury acquitted the prisoner.
John Thorpe was put to the bar, on an indictment charging
him with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling..
house of J. Tibbs, and stealing therefrom divers articles, his
property. The short facts of the case were, the thieves having
obtained access in the night to the premises, ransacked the whole
of the lower rooms and decamped. The prisoner, however, was
stopped on his way home, and secured. 'Verdict, "Guilty."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY—(Tus DAY.)
HABEAS CORPUS.
TN THE MATTER OF BROTHERTON. _

This case was again proceeded with this day.
Our Readers are aware that Mr. Brotherton had'
stood committed to Newgate by the Commis-'
sioners of Bankrupts, for, refusing to answer cer-
tain questions put to him, relative to the accounts
of his employer. On that he appealed to the
LORD CHANCELLOR, and was discharged, having,'
offered to submit himself to another examination.
That examination, was gone into, but Mr. Bro-
therton haying declared he was unable to state
what sums of money he had paid,without communi-
cating with his Master, the Commissioners again
committed him. Against this committal he now
appealed. The hearing of this case occupied the
whole of the morning, and when our ReporteC.
left the Court, Mr. Heald had to reply, in sup-
port of the motion for his client's discharge.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT—(This DAY.)
JONES V. YARVELL.
This was an application for an injunction to restrain the de.
fendant from infringing on the patent right of the plaintiff, re.
lative to certain articles of cutlery.—The VICE-Cmfroicnt Loa
asked if notice had been served on the defendant, and haring
been answered in the affirmative, granted the injunction.

" the rent no longer reaches the foundation."—
The King of Naples has, it appears, displayed
some singular acts of clemency in honour of the
Queen's birth-day. He has commuted the sen-
tence of death pronounced upon two or three
rebels, whom he himself headed as Crown Prince,
into perpetual imprisonment and hard labour.—
As his Majesty was the chief of the Carbonari
while they committed their acts of treason, this
indulgence of some of the brethren could scarcely
have occasioned any great struggle between seve-
rity and mercy in his Royal heart.

ANCIENT IRISH GOLD CROWN.-The workmen
employed in quarrying on the strand near HA-
heny, for Mr. Mitchell, of Ilenry-street, disco-

laid to it on the part of the Lord of the Manor,
this valuable relic has been deposited with Mr.
Rorke, publican, of Dollymount, until the
ownership shall be decided.—(Dublin Evening

_
TAuNToN.—Thoue,h Mr. Baring has retired

OLD BAILEY—(Tuts Dar.)

ROBBERY AT THE ALPHA COTTAGES.
Edmund Edgar alias Edmund Edgar Butt, a
very genteel young man, aged 21, was played at
the bar, charged with stealing, on the 12th inst.,
a quantity of silver plate, a gold watch, gold
watch chain, gold necklace, silk dresses, &c., to
the amount of 1301., from the dwelling•house of
Miss Elizabeth Smith, residing at No 16, in Elio
Alpha Cottages, Regent's Park.—Jane Good-
child, the servant to the prosecutrix, deposed
that on the evening previous to the robbery being
committed, the house was securely fastened, but
in the morning she found that some person had
entered the premises, and plundered them of the
above articles. J. Cull,n constable of Mary lebone,
stated that lie met the prisoner a bout six o'clock on
the morning of the 12th instant in Lisson Grove ;
he was carrying a valuable silk shawl and a large
bundle ; he, suspecting the prisoner, looked at
him, asked some questions, and then stopped
him ; he would not tell witness what property
he had got, but asked him what it was to him ?
and turned away as if to make his escape, when
he secured him. On searching the shawl and
bundle he discovered a quantity of plate, gold
trinkets, silk-dresses, &c. to a large amount.—
The prisoner, in defence, said, he found the pro-
perty in a ditch.—Miss Smith swore to the pro.
perty ; and the Jury found tire priioner Guiky—

Mrs. CHATTERLY and Mr. SINCLAIR both return
to Covent Garden Theatre, where the Manager
has engaged Mr. BLAND, a grandson of the late
inimitable Mrs. JORDAN, from the extent and

tions are entertained by the proprietors.

CURIOUS CI ucumA.A.NcE.—One of the fishing.
boats belonging to Ringsend was fishing with a thrall net, about
18 miles at sea, off the coast of Arklow, when on drawing up
the thrall-hag, there were found in it the large horns of a deer,
with part of the head. The antlers are in the most perfect state,
and of singular construction.—(lrish Paper.)
NEW IRISH COIN.—The most prompt and
efficient measures for circulating the new and
withdrawing the old Irish coin have been
adopted. Last week Commissary-General Cum-
ming and Mr. Malassez, the Commissioners for
changing the coin, arrived at Greer's Hotel,
Omagh. The same day a large train of waggons,
heavily laden with the new silver, and guarded
by a detachment of the 63d regiment, march-
ed into town. The following day, detachments
of the train proceeded for Derry, and the other
large towns in the northern district. The cur-
rency is now being exchanged at the Court-house ;
and we hope this desirable object will soon be
accomplished.—(lrish Paper.)
London, England, 1825-01-14

We have received the Piedmontese Gazette to
the sth instant, from which we are glad to learn
that his Imperial Highness the Archduke Viceroy
of the kingdom of LOMBARDY and VENICE
is recovered from his late severe indispo-
sition. The victory of the Greeks off Candia-
is confirmed in these papers by the testimony
of the Captains of Austrian and Russian vessels
which have arrived at Trieste, and the disas-
ters of the Turco-Egyptian fleet in the action,
and afterwards from a violent storm, have not been
eXaggerated in our previous accounts. It also
appears, that only two vessels of the whole of
IBRAHIM PACIIA'S fleet were able to enter the
Port of Suda, and land, reinforcements in Candia.
The projected Greek expedition against Candia,
therefore, cannot be put into execution at a more
favourable opportunity, for the Ottoman forces in
that island are by no means numerous.

We refer our Readers to a long article from
the Etoile of Tuesday last, which they will find
in our Paper this day. The article is written
with plausible sophistry, but the arguments are
vague, hollow, and 'consequently easily refuted.
In our virtual recognition of the trans-Atlantic
Colonies, we acted upon sound policy, accord-
Lug to the positive state of affairs between
those countries and the Parent States, in which
it was essentially evident that the course of events
had effected an eternal separation between them,
upon ail grounds of submission on the one part,
and of sovereignty on the other. The British Go-
vernment, with prompt and obvious policy, availed
itself of this state of things, and preparatory to
an inevitable recognition of the Independence
of the New Republics, entered into commercial
relations with them,but with a generous frankness,
not requiring any restrictions in favour of this
country, but leaving them open to form amicable
and commercial rela.tions with all the world;
Such is the plain and simple fact, and the Etoile,
with all its subtlety, ingenuity, and sophistry,
can only, by implication, blame its own Govern-
ment for short-sightedness and a want of liberal
policy, in not acting as Great Britain has acted,
and as she had ingenuously signified that she
intended to act.

Halifax Papers to the 2,lst Dec. arrived this
morning, from which we derive the following
articles of intelligence :
Extract of a letter from Pernambuco, dated
29th September, to a Merchant in Halifax :
" Lord COCHRANE arrived here (Pernambuco)
from Bahia on Saturday last, but as yet has not
been on shore • he is sick, as also many of his
crew, with the small-pox. This place is now
very tranquil, and one may venture in the streets
with safety."
Extract of a letter from Havannah, dated the
4th October :—" The whole garrison of the fort
at Vera Cruz has arrived full of scurvy, leaving
London, England, 1825-01-14

only a small portion of the reinforcement sent
from this place. Proposals are on foot for an un-
derstanding between that fortress sad the Mexi-
can Government, and we are not without hopes
of a speedy re-establishment of our trade to
that quarter."

There are letters in town, announcing the
death of the King of NAPLES.

In the night of the lOth ultimo five chocks of
an earthquake were felt at Reggio, the capital
of Calabria Ultra. These were, however sli,ht
and caused but little alarm.

It is reported that an extensive forgery has
been committed at Brussels in Falconet's Neapo-
litan Bonds, and we understand the parties have
been detected in consequence of the forged Bonds
having been printed on paper of a blue, instead
of a white colour.

The Duke of Yonx left town yesterday
for Broad lands, Hants, on a visit to Lord
PALmcusToN. His Royal Highness is expected
to honour the Duke and Duchess of BEDFORD
with a visit on Sunday next at %Vooburn Abbey.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL is expected to arrive
at Fife House this day, from Bath.
Mr. Secretary CANNING slept at Oxford on
Wednesday night, and is expected in town to-
morrow.

Earl BATIIURST was expected in town last
night, from his 'Lordship's country seat at Ciren-
cester.

PARIS, JAN. 10.

The Quot;dicnne observes, to-day, as an important fact, that
Mr. Stratford Canning did not proceed to St. Petersburgh until
he had held some long conferences with the Austrian Cabinet.
This journal concludes therefore, that the destinies of Greece
depend on England, Austria, and Russia. It remarks also, en
Pasraut, that this Minister did not think it necessary to come to
Paris.

We extract from the Supplement to the Allge-
meine Zeilung of the 3d instant, the following
article respecting the state of the trade between
this country and Prussia, which will not be de-
void of interest to the commercial community :

BERLIN, DEC. 22.

The Course of Exchange in London has fallen, within a few
months, from 7 dollars 6 groschcn to 8. 18., which is certainly
a considerable difference, especially when we find that on the
7th Dec. the Exchange on Berlin was in London at 7. 10. This
must be considered as an indication that the balance of trade
`between the two countries is in favour of Prussis, a very rare
~•ase certainly in the history of Commerce, but for which pro-
bable grounds may be assigned. Among them are, Ist. The
permission to bond German clothes in England for exportation
to other parts of the world. Many English houses have made
speculations of this kind, and at the last fair at Frankfort
purchased large quantities of Prussian cloths. 2dly, The re-
duction of the import duty on German wool, which has greatly
increased the importation of that article. 3dly, The temporary
importation of oats. 4thly, The circumstance that Colonial
produce has been for some years imported more and more from
the Colonies themselves, than through the medium of England.
These circumstances alone are sufficient to make it probable
that the balance is at present in favour of Prussia. To this
must be added, that many bonds of the first and second
loans contracted in London, (which, during the French cam-
paign in Spain, were sent by English monied men to
the Continent, and sold at very low prices,) are now sent
tn. London for sale, or purchased here far English account.
As the exchange now is, this operation affbrds deductio dedu-
cendis, three or four per cent. profit, which is certainly very
tempting, as the whole may be completed in a month. This,
however, can of course last only for a short time, as the amount
of the bonds of the English Loan in the hands of spe-
culators will probably soon find the way to England, and
Other Prussian 'Paper is not a marketable commodity
in London. Should, therefore, the exchange on London at
Berlin continue so much lower than that on Berlin at London,
this would be the most infallible proof that Prussia exported
more to England than England to Prussia.

THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, JAR. 14.
The arrivals of all sorts of Grain this week are good, and the
quantity of Flour is very large. The trade for Wheat is t till
very dull, although there is not much of fine quality at market.
Barley sells heavily, and hardly maintains Monday's prices.
Beans fully support the last quotations. Pease find a very
heavy trade. Oats find buyers slowly, yet the prices are not
lower. The Flour trade remains very dull.
ARRIVALS.—EngIish Wheat 7,400, Barley 15,700, Oats
13,200 ; Irish Wheat 300, Oats 100 qrs. ; Flour 16,500 sacks.

THE SALTEES LIGHT VESSEL.

[Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Dublin,

" The Sea-gull Floating Light, that was driven from her
station ofithe Conybeg Rock, on the coast of Wexford, on the
12th ult., was replaced there on the 7th instant."

Cllll.llrX TS of THE A TLANNIC. —Extract of a letter from
the Agent to Lloyd's at Sydney, Cape Breton, dated Nov. 18.
The current which sets from the westward and eastward
near Cape North would deceive the most cautious seaman, and
which would, in a great measure, be avoided if a light-house
were fixed on St. Paul's Island, when ships coming out or
entering the St. Lawrence, after making land on either side of
the Cape, would with greater confidence proceed on their
voyage. At present they dare not do so, but are obliged to
lay-to in long and boisterous nights, and subjected to the cur-
rents, which never can be correctly calculated upon. I have
known many vessels to be wrecked, from the want of a mark
to guide them, in getting round Cape North; and all tha
masters of ships consider the most essential service would result
if a light were established."

On Friday evening, the 7th inst., the Theatre

Vie lively Play. of Speed the Plough was very
efficiently sustained:throughout, and the laugh-
able Farce of The Turnpike Gate went off with
he greatest eclat. The house has not been so
crowded for a long time ; it was an absolute
bumper,-the boxes, moreover, being graced by all
the beauty and fashion of the town and neighbour-

he seemed very anxious to go into her apartment,

THE THEATRE.

COVENT-GARDEN.--WO consider the crowded
and elegant audience that attended the represen-
tation of The Inconstant last night at this Theatre,
as a good test of the revival of public taste for
sterling old comedy. Young Mirabel finds in
Mr. C. KEMBLE an admirable representative,
through all the artifices that are employed to
entrap his affections for Oriana; and his acting in
the scene with the Ruffians, was a most interest-
ing mixture of affected mirth and real alarm.
On the removal of all danger, his hysterical
joy for his delivery was deeply interest-
ing. JONES'S Duretete is a very diverting
and characteristic performance. FARREN'S
Old Mirabcl also deserves a very commen-
datory notice. We should have been more grati-
fied by Mrs. CIIATTERLEY'S Bizarre, if there had
been more appearance of ease in her action,
but it was evidently too studied, and did not
seem to arise from the character and the situa-

tion. MISS JONES displayed great feeling and
good sense in Oriana, and the Play altogether
was so well supported and so much applauded,
that it is likely to become very popular and at-
tractive during the season.

The tragedy of 0 RESTES, founded on the Greek
Drama, which is soon to be brought forward at
Govent Garden Theatre, is the production of the
late Mr. BAILEY, a gentleman of welt-known lite-
raryta lents, who unfortunately died of apoplexy,in
the carriage which was taking him with his wife to
the Opera House. This melanchfy event must
excite an interest in favour of the play, which,
however, we are assured promises to support it-
self by intrinsic merit.
TUE YORK THEATRICAL CIRCUIT.—The long-
contested struggle for this Circuit, which includes
the York, Hull, Leeds, Wakefield, and Don-
caster Theatres, has been at length decided in
favour of Mr. DowNE, of Drury-lane Theatre,
and Mr. FAULKNER, late of the Haymarket ; and
in consequence of the presence of the former
Gentleman being therefore necessary in York-
shire, an arrangement has, we understand, been
made between him and Mr. ELLISTON for the re-
linquishment of his London engagement.

PARIS, J. JO
The ministerial writers confirm, by their invectives °6
abuse, what we have already advanced relative to the want
foresight in M. de Villele, with regard to the affairs of s°tit

America.
The temper of these gentlemen abundantly proves that ,
President of the Council had foreseen nothing, had adoptcjli
system, and had taken no part in foreign affairs. Whate%
may be said, the situation is one of difficulty : the Minister
to choose between the politics of the continer.t and the coliti
of England.
Spain increases the difficulty ; for if she be angry at 1:
part which the Cabinet of St. James's has taken, what g5P'
are we to play in the peninsula!
Portugal at the same time escapes from us ; for the depart
of our Ambassador giVes up, without a struggle, the Coatt
Lisbon entirely to,the English influence.
In addition to all this, we are framing injuthus financial rct
gulations ; we are disturbing people's minds and fortunes ; of
are handing over three or four millions to the benevolence
Messrs. Rothschild and Co. ; we are mortgaging the sialti
fund for five years, to a particular service ; and thus the Of
ofgeniur will be accomplished.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.
CANTERBURY, SEPT. 26.—Our Saturday's market exbi.
bited a very short share of samples, and rio business was am.,
so that we cannot quote any price. Twenty pounds was offered
by a dealer for a choice lot from Waltham, but refused; and
we do not hear of any other offer being made.
MAIDSTONE, SEPT. 26.—The picking is very general,. and
is expected will he by•the end of the week; the crop de.
plorably short. Much discontent amongst the pickers, and .a
strike for increased pay took place, which was afterwards' re-
gretted, hands being very numerous.
SEPT. 26.—The Hop market has advanced Lin
price considerably since last week, the duty falling short of what
was expected. Duty doing at £22,0e0, and not even this ex-
pected : upon the whole, we may fairly calculate an advanceef
forty pei cent. upon 1824 growth.

=MORNING CHRONICLE.]

The benevolent Lord Calthorpe last week pre-
sided at a Meeting at Birmingham, for the pur-
pose of establishing Infant Schools in that great
Town. The process of education commences
much sooner than most people suppose. In
fact, the character may be materially influ-
enced by the impressions received by a child
in the earliest infancy. The sooner, therefore,
we bestow attention on children, the more likely
we are to succeed in communicating that charac-
ter to them which we wish them to receive. The
question is not, therefore, whether children shall
or shall notreceive an education, but whether
they shall receive a bad or a good education.
The question is, whether children shall be alto-
gether neglected till a period when it may be
difficult to alter the propensities, of whatever
kind, which they may have received, or whether
we shall exert ourselves to secure them from bad
propensities. In our great towns, of which a
great part of the inhabitants is forced, from po-
verty, to abandon their children during the day,
the children are necessarily exposed to all
manner of temptation. Can we wonder that
when children are neglected, we should have
swarms of juvenile depredators ? Property is
an idea of very difficult acquisition. All the
savages with whom our circumnavigators have
come into communication, are thieves, not
; from corruption, but because they had not
acquired the idea of property, and naturally
wished to take the objects which pleased them.
If a child is not carefully watched and assidu-
ously taught to respect property, we may be
sure that it will steal, whenever the opportunity
presents itself. In like manner, a neglected child
will always lie, for it is as natural that it should
lie to escape danger, as it is that it should en-
deavour to escape from physical pain.

it evident that tr.e said charge is incompatible with the first in- 1
lefests of the nation, and with the dearest interest of the pro.
♦ince of Buenos Ayres. These interests require that the whole
attration of the Government should be. directed to the security
of the territory, to the adjustment of the internal affairs of the
province, and to the promotion of every kind of prosperity which
may render the province and the Government more capable
of affording important services to the national cause. The
Government, therefore considers it to he its duty to pray that
:I►e Co.:gregs will be pleased to relieve it from its present
charge, and to proceed to the appointment of an executive
.ewer, which may be directed exclusively to national affairs.
Tins resolution is urgent, and the representatives of the nation
are called upon to take it into their most earnest consideration,
ba order that it may forthwith be adopted.

SAILING MATCH.

The Silver Cup and Cover given by the friends of Mr. Got.'
ling, of the Swan Tavern, Battersea Bridge, was sailed for yes.
terday, by the following pleasure vessels:—
Tons.

Owners.
Sylph - . - 13 - - E. Codd,
Spitfire - 6 - - T. Bettesworth,
Don Giovanni - 11 - J. M. Davey,
Mermaid - 9 - - M. J. Crockers.
The boats started at two o'clock to sail to Wandsworth, and
back to Battersea-bridge. From the well-known superiority
of the Don Giovanni; no doubt was entertained of her ultimate
success. They had a light breeze, and the Don shot a-head,
leaving the other vessels a considerable distance in her wake.
The Sylph was nearest the Don Giovanni, and the contest be-
tween those boats afforded much admiration. The Giovanni,
however, kept the advantage, and won the Prize. -;.She was
received by the spectators with loud cheers, and the Swan at
Battersea, was all life and merriment. The Sylph is one of the
best, boats above Bridge, and when they have got her trim,
there is no doubt of her beating most of vessels of her class.—
The small sailing boats were so much astern, that they did not
get up to Wandsworth.
