HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday Inspector Campbell, of the E division, was
brought before Messrs. LAING and BENNETT, charged by
Robert Rowe, late landlord of the Welch Harp, Fulwood's-
rents, Holborn, with having been concerned in compromis-
ing a felony.
The prosecutor, on the night of the 23d of March, 1836,
kept the Welch Harp public-house, when two young col-
legians were taken into custody, the one for an assault,
and the other for stealing a lobster. They were both taken
to the station-house and locked up, and in the course of the
night they felt anxious that the matter should be amicably
settled, and he had been informed by a person named Small
that Inspector Campbell, then a sergeant, had received a
certain sum of money to assist in the compromising of
the case.

The Magistrates then subjected the prosecutor and a
witness whom he brought forward, to a strict examination,
in the course of which it appeared that the prosecutor's
house had been reported (as ill conducted) by the defendant,
in the disch►rge of his duty.
Another witness (a police officer) stated himself to have
been cognizant of the alleged offence, but bad not men-
tioned it for several months.

Mr. LAING was convinced it was a trumped-up case, for
the purpose of destroying a respectable officer, for having
strictly performed his duty in exposing the illegal practices
of Rowe's late house. The defendant was discharged with-
out being called upon for any defence.

THE IRISH DRAGOON.
AlR—Mrs. O'Daisy.
When first for Ould England I left Killarney,
And footed it merrily over the sea—
The folks they so bother'd me all with their blarney
I wish'd myself back with sweet Judy M'Cree;
But I hit of a honey, who tipped me some money,
And 'listed me, faith ! in the twink of an eye
A loyal dragoon soon I strutted so funny,
And devil a soul was so merry as I.
A pair of jack boots, oh ! they bade me be claning,
As rough as a badger their surfaces were ;
" But, arrah !" says I, " and what is it you're maning
Botheration ! I never can polish these here.
That boon they convineed me of sense I was lacking,
And wasn't half up to the best of their fun ;
For scarce had I touch'd 'em with Warren's Jet Blacking,
Ere they shew'd my nate features as bright as the sun.
Sure I thought 'twas Ould Nick, that deceatful rapscallion,
Had play'd me some trick, and the phiz was his own;
But I learned from the mature that drill'd the battalion,
'Twas the beauty of Warren's Jet Blacking alone;
So I carry the face of each lass that passes,
On both my jack boots ; and, no longer a loon,
When I visit Killarney, the swate Irish lasses
Will simper and sigh for the Irish Dragoon

CALAMITOUS FIRE AT QUEBEC

By the arrival of the ship Samuel, in twenty-three days
from Quebec, we received the particulars of a most de-
structive fire which occurred at Quebec on the 10th of
September. This day at noon, a fire broke out in the up-
per store in the Queen's Wharf, occupied by Mr. Vass,
which speedily communicated to the stores of Mr. Buteau,
and the landing warehouse near the Cul-de-Sac, and to the
dwelling-houses in front. The fire is now (three o'clock)
still raging, and has extended in the direction of St. Peter's-
street as far as the house of Mr. Marrett, and along Rue
Sous le Fort to Mr. Arnold's new house, the interior of
which is consumed. The wind is from the east, and blow-
ing freshly, and the burning flakes are carried to a great
distance ; there is no saying how far it may extend. The
house at the corner of St. Peter's-street and Rue Sous le
Fort has also taken, and a house in Chaplin-street was set
on fire by the burning shingles falling on the roof, but the
flames did not extend to the adjoining house. The roofs
of several houses and buildings in the Upper Town have
also been set on fire by the burning shingles, but, from the
inhabitants being on the alert, the fire has been extinguished
without doing much mischief. The flakes were carried
completely over the town, and fell thickly on the esplanade.
The tide was unfortunately out when the fire com-
menced, and six large schooners which were aground in the
Cul-de-Sac have been consumed, with their cargoes. The
whole town is in confusion, and the streets thronged with
carts removing property and goods. No estimate can be
formed of the amount of property consumed, but the stores
of Messrs. Mason, Strang, Langevin, and Co., and the
other stores on the wharfs, are said to have been full of
goods. So awful a fire was never before known in Quebec.
Half-past Four.—The flames have somewhat abated,
and it is hoped that the ravages will not extend beyond
their present limits. The risks taken upon the several
properties by the Quebec Fire Insurance Company amount
to 15,1951., viz., 6,5001. on buildings, and 8,695/. on
merchandize.

Six o'Clock.—The flames are now effectually subdued,
and, we are happy in being able to announce, that the Ca-
tholic Church, although several times on fire, has sustained
little damage. From the central situation of this edifice,
had the fire taken effect upon it, the dreadful element
would, in all probability, have spread through the whole of
the market square.

Comet, after having been invisible for about a mouth, was
again seen from the observatory at Milan, on the 30th of
December. It was at sunrise in Scorpio, and its course
was towards the constellation of the Wolf. The intensity
of its light was greater than when at the same distance from
the earth before it passed its perihelium, and was nearly equal
to its light on the 9th of September. It will be visible till
April. The earth approaches towards the comet in March,

ROLLS' COURT.-WEDNESDAY.

The MASTER of the ROLLS was engaged during the day
in hearing the arguments on one side in the case of the
Attorney-General v. Cullum, which related to the adminis-
tration of certain charities in the town of Bury St. Ed-
mund's. The information prayed an account, and several
references, for the purpose of ascertaining the state of the
charity property, and for the appointment of new trustees.

VICE-CHANCERY-WEDNESDAY.

RUSSELL V. BUCHANAN.

In this cause the Court had- directed a case for the opi-
nion of the Court of Exchequer upon the construction of
the will and codicil of Robert Brown, by which he devised
certain estates at Streatham to his nephew and heir Robert
Brown Russell, for life, with remainder to his children as
tenants in common in fee ; but the codicil declared no
child should have a vested interest till the age of twenty-
one. The will and codicil were very intricate. The Court
of Exchequer certified in favour of the heir-at-law.
Mr. BARBER argued against the certificate.
Mr. KNIGHT appeared to support it ; but
His HONOUR confirmed the certificate of the Learned
Judges.
TIMELFALL V. LUNN.

Mr. KNIGHT appeared in of this demurrer. The
bill as originally framed prayed specific performance of an
agreement, which the plaintiffs alleged they had entered
into with their creditors for a composition, and to restrain
proceedings at law commenced by the defendant, who was
one of their creditors, for the full amount of his debt, and
by amendment it prayed the return of a particular sum of
money which had been paid under protest, and for the de-
livery of a bill of exchange to be cancelled,
Mr. JACOB supported the bill.
His Holouli said the demurrer must be allowed.

VALUABLE TO WHITESMITHS, &C.--It iS per-
haps not generally known amongst mechanics, that the salt
called prussiate of potash, which may be had of all the
chemists, is now much used in case hardening. The pro-
cess is easy, and saves a great length of time. The method
is to powder the salt, and sprinkle it upon the iron when in
a state of redness : it will be found to run like oil, and
when plunged into cold water, will be found to be as hard
or even harder than iron case hardened in the usual way.
The Leeds and Sheffield houses engaged in the
American trade are stated to have escaped, as well as the
Liverpool houses, in the late conflagration at New York.
It was at first reported that some of the Yorkshire houses
were great sufferers, but there is now reason to hope that
that is not the case,

NEWPORT.

Our municipal affairs seem to remain in the same state
they were in on the 30th ult. The Town Clerk is the only
official—neither party can concede, so that, till Parliament
meets and :relieves them, we can have no Aldermen or
Mayor. Report says an application is to be made to Par-
liament for the Quarter Sessions for the island to be held
at Newport. This would relieve the island from a great
expense in County Rates, and hundreds of pounds, that are
now taken out of it, would be spent in it ; besides, all par-
ties, whether prosecutors, defendants, witnesses, constables,
or jurymen, would be saved an immense loss of time and
expense, and could be home every night. Now they are
kept at Winchester sometimes for a week at a time, at a
serious expense, and, perhaps, the ruin of their business.
The Municipal Bill has had a good effect on other bo-
dies. The Commissioners for improving the town of Cowes
have this year published a Balance Sheet„ being the first
in twenty-one years. Had it been done five years sooner,
the inhabitants might have been saved near a thousand
pounds, which the Commissioner's Clerk borrowed and omit-
ted to return.

MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AMENDMENT ACT.

Mr. PRITCHARD rose at a late hour and stated that it
was his intention to postpone the important questions re-
specting the Municipal Corporation of the City till to-
morrow (this day).
After a few observations the Court was adjourned till
this day, when the subject is to be discussed.

About the middle of Tothill-street, Westminster,
on the northern side, is a remarkable old-fa:thioned wooden
house of two stories, known as the Cock public-house, and
which, according to tradition, was built in the reign of Ri-
chard the Second, and was then, and has ever since been,
a house of public entertainment, under the same sign,
though in olden days bearing a higher repute than now.
The entrance to it now is by a descent of nearly a dozen
steps. It is said that the foreman of the masons employed
in the erection of the nave of Westminster Abbey lived
there for many years. Behind is a spacious coach yard,
probably at an earlier period a bowling or archery-green,
and it is a well authenticated fact that the first Oxford
coach started from this house in the early part of the last
century, performing the journey in three days. The pro-
perty, as well as much other adjacent, belongs to the Dean
and Chapter of Westminster Abbey.
WHISKY, MADNESS, AN. MURDER.--It iS
with pain we record the following most revolting outrage—
a description of crime, it is but justice to say, which is
still so rare in our rural districts, that it stands in striking
contrast to the usual quiet and peaceable conduct of the
of bot-
peasantry of Scotland. On Tuesday, the 12th current,
Old New Year's-day, the farm servants of Mr. Murphy,
tenant in Barley,. parish of Girthon, determined to
intent
merry in the- absence of their master, and with this
procured from Gatehouse a supply of whisky. They were

LOCKE V. COLEMAN.

This was an appeal from a decision of the Vice-Chan-
cellor in favour of the plaintiff.
Mr. JACOB said the case came before the Court under
rather singular circumstances. The bill was filed by the
plaintiff, as the representative of Robert Marks, the tenant,
according to custom, of certain lands in the manor of Taun-
ton Dean, in the county of Somerset, to recover certain
messuages purchased by the defendant from the heirs of
Grate Turner, who claimed to take the property under
the custom of the manor. A gentleman named South-
ton, and the Lord of this manor, had purchased a much
larger portion of the same property ; and the plaintiff
having filed a bill against him obtained in 1829 a
decree in her favour from the Vice-Chancellor. That
decree was appealed against, and the question again
argued before Lord Brougham. His Lordship af-
firmed his Honour's decision ; and the matter being
then carried to the House of Lords, towards the close-of
the last session, the House of Lords finally decided in fa-
vour of the judgments of the Courts below. In tile Vice-
Chancellor's Court, and before Lord Brougham, the cause
was called Locke v. Southton ; but in consequence of the
death of Mr. Southton it was known in the House of Lords
under the name of Locke v. Bushe. The question now
raised was, with a very slight alteration, the same as that
decided in the case of Locke v. Bushe.

Sir W. HORNE, for the defendant, said, the great hard-
ship of the present case, whatever might be its fate, was this,
that the defendants, who had been bona fide purchasers of
this property, under the advice of eminent counsel, approv-
' ing of the title, and who had, since the period of the pur-
chase, expended much capital in improvements, were now
called on by the plaintiff to give up possession, and to ac-
count for all the rents and profits since 1819. He con-
tended, however, that the settlement made by Robert
Marks applied merely to his own issue, and was intended
to cut down for their benefit the rights of his wife, but that,
after the failure of issue, these rights were intended to re-
turn to her unimpaired. This was the true construction of
the settlement ; and, read in that way, her title to bequeath
it to the children of her second marriage was unquestionable.
Judgment postponed.

GREECE.

A letter from an impartial and well-informed person,
now lying before us, says—" I cannot send you any very
important news from Greece. Tranquillity, order, secu-
rity, obedience to the laws, prevail in the whole country
more than ever. If, indeed, you read the Sotir which
overflows with gall and bitterness against the Chancellor,
because he was not made the editor Minister, you will form
a very different opinion, and believe that Greece is hill a
state of anarchy and insurrection. We read these articles
with a smile, and fancy to ourselves that he is describing,
not Greeks, but Bedouins or Irroquois. You may believe
such fables and pity us, but we are in good spirits, and
think that we have reason to be envied rather than pitied,
as we see in the boldness and the attacks of the Sotir only
proofs of the freedom of our press. We at least are con-
vinced that a single word of the Sotir uttered in an en-
lightened country wonld be considered as highly criminal.
This paper, however, has exceeded all bounds ; and that
the freedom of the press may not degenerate into licen-
tiousness, and open an arena to the most infamous ca-
lumnies, the Government has thought proper to institute a
prosecution against the editor. The body of advocates
here have offered to defend him, and the trial is fixed for
to-morrow. There will be thousands of persons to attend
the proceedings, which may probably be more interesting
than your theatre.

Literature is making a rapid progress. Two young men
give public lectures on penal law. Coromela, the Didot of
Greece, frequently publishes new works and translations,
among which are " Gross's Law of Nature .;" " Munro on
the Trial by Jury ;" and translations of Montesquieu, by
Ralle and Kokoni, &c. Our theatre is rapidly improving ;

AUG. 27.—Since last month's packet we have
b;e*AensTiterislaEn;Nqsu'il in Greece, and, thanks to Lord Palmerston's
generosity with John Bull's money, there is little fear of
tranquillity being disturbed—at least not until the six mil-
lions of francs which his Lordship has promised be ex-
pended. The Chancellor has been obliged to have re-
course to several very obnoxious measures to raise the wind,
and as the talent of the Count and his subalterns seems to
be in making laws which cannot be carried into effect, he
will not greatly increase his finances by the late ordon-
nances. When you think on a Government possessing
fifteen millions of acres, one-third of which are cultivable,
and these latter worth on an average 51. to 61. per acre
(some lots near large towns, especially in Patras, have been
sold for 6001. per acre !) being compelled to have recourse
to direct taxation, something must be radically wrong. Al-
ready there were—lst. The land-tax of one-tenth the gross

THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Both at the Re-
gent's Park and Wa.'worth the animals are being removed to
their winter quarters, and everything assumes a winterly ap-
pearance. Very excellent preparations have been made at both
places for the accommodation of the giraffes, in the former by
means of heated air, whilst Mr. Cross has adopted the plan of
affording additional heat by means of animals placed in neigh-
bouring dens, and in neither case do these tender animals as
yet appear to suffer from the inclemency of the weather.
Amongst the recent additions to the latter are two huge grisly
bears, from North America, of a larger size than any that have
previously been seen in this country. The giraffes in the Re-
gent's Park Gardens still continue occupants of the Elephant
House, but great progress is being made in the house pre-
paring for them, which it is expected will be ready for their
reception by November.

THE CANADAS.

We have this day received Montreal papers to the 20th
Aug. and Quebec papers to the 18th Aug. The Montreal
papers give the following, relative, to the petition to the
Royal Commissioners :
" In consequence of the slanderous assertions made by
the Montreal Herald and Gazette, as to the means which
had been taken to procure signatures to the petition now
circulating, and about to be presented to the Commissioners
of Enquiry, we, the undersigned, who sanctioned and ap-
proved of the said petition, do hereby give notice that a
Committee will be in attendance at the New Rooms on
Friday, the 19th inst., to afford an opportunity to any
person who may desire to withdraw his name." (Then
follows the signatures.)
The harvest has commenced in the neighbourhood of
Quebec, and some fields of wheat have been cut.

pleasant summer, and the weather has been very moderate,
and much cooler than our usual summer weather.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

Jose Gomez de la Cortine, Colonel of the brigade del
Comercio, Governor of the district, proclaims the following
decree, transmitted from the financial department.
His Excellency the President ad interim of the Mexican
Republic, has sanctioned the following decree, adopted by
the General Congress :-
1. The Mexican Government is authorized to levy a
forced loan on the whole extent of the Republic, not ex-
ceeding 2,000,000 dols., in order to make up for the deficit
left in the treasury.
2. The maximum of any share shall be 1,000 dols.
3. The certificates delivered as evidence of payment,
shall be received by Government, after the lapse of one
year, for all contributions and taxes.
(Diario del Gobierno.)
Extract from a Letter dated Matamoros, July 21, 1836 :
" The Cummanche Indians, a•few nights past, came into
Matamoros and stole about 700 horses belonging to the
Mexican cavalry, and committed other depredations. The
Mexican troops, between 3,000 and 4,000, have positively
refused to march into Texas, until they have been paid
what was due them ; the officers in command endeavoured
to pacify them, by saying that the conducta is daily expected
from the interior with 200,000 dollars. General Filasola's
defence was published in the Mexican papers, and reflects
great discredit on the Mexican soldiers.
The Texan prisoners in this place are compelled daily (in
chains) to sweep and cleanse the streets!

HUNGARY.

PESTH, SEPT. 4.—The fair just ended was one of the
greatest that we ever had here. It was really a magnificent
sight, perhaps unique in its kind. The continued bustle,
the immense motley crowd of strangers from all parts of
Europe, from the coasts of Great Britain to the Bosphorus,
thronging the long and broad streets of our city, the pro-
digious quantity of Hungarian productions, for which there
was no room in the warehouses, and which were piled up
in heaps in the open air, forming long lines, the legions of
magazines and shops in which all the manufactures of Aus-
tria and Hungary were displayed in the cattle market, many
miles in extent, where not only bipeds and quadrupeds in
incredible numbers are exposed for sale, but where every
requisite for clothing and for the sustenance of man and
beast is to be had in abundance ; all this together has cer-
tainly no parallel in Europe. It is estimated that from
15,000 to 20,000 waggons, drawn by 50,000 or 60,000
horses, were at this fair. With respect to the business
done, it was on the whole very satisfactory.
The arrests which took place in Hungary some time
ago, and of which so much has been said in foreign journals,
are confined to four persons. They are young men of noble
families, whose papers certainly indicate very culpable de-
signs and plans. The proceedings against them have com-
menced. The King's Attorney accused them of high
treason, and proposed the penalty of death and the confis-
cation of their property. Those who are acquainted with
the course of judicial proceedings in Hungary are aware
that these proceedings may continue for years.
The persons belonging to the suite of the Turkish Am-
bassador at Vienna arrived here the day before yesterday,
and will set out again for Vienna to-day. In our county
meeting this week it was resolved, after stormy debates,
that the county seal shall have a Hungarian instead of a
Latin inscription. Now the county is saved!!

ARMY OF OPERATIONS.

The General-in-Chief of the army of operations has re
ceived by express the following decree from the War De-
partment :--
1. During the war to be carried on against the insurgents
in Texas, it will be lawful to import foreign provisions in
the port of Matamoros.
2. The duties on said imports will be paid in provisions
and stores, which will be taken at the sale prices, and ex-
clusively destined to the support of the army sent in Texas.

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday a tradesman, living in the Waterloo-road, was
charged with committing an assault on his daughter, a de-
licate girl of 15 years of age. The girl, who exhibited some
black bruises on the lower part of her shoulders, stated that
on Friday last her father beat her with one of his boots, in
consequence of her not having got up out of bed at seven
o'clock in the morning. He also struck her with his fist,
and upon several other occasior.s she had been assaulted
by him, and was anxious to go anywhere so that she would
not he liable to such harsh treatment. She added that
her father was married to a second wife, and that prior to
it he was not in the habit of treating her (the daughter)
with such severity.
The father in his defence said that he had certainly cor-
rected his daughter, but that it was owing to her improper
conduct. She was not only in the habit of committing acts
of petty theft, but she had also a propensity for going -out
at very unseasonable hours without apprising any one of
her intentions. She was fond of getting up as early as four
o'clock in the morning and going out, and in order to be in
readiness for her early rambles she often went to bed with-
out taking off her clothes. He added that he was com-
pelled to resort to harsh measures, to cure her of such
freaks, if possible.
Mr. TRAIL said that using his boot for the purpose of
correcting a girl of her age was exceedingly improper—
nothing could justify it.
The daughter admitted that she was fond of getting up
early on some mornings to walk before the business of her
father's shop commenced.
The Magistrate said that four o'clock in the morning was
a very unseasonable hour for any young girl to get up to
take a walk, and as it was against the wishes of her father
she ought not to do it. The Magistrate, however, again
said that the father had treated the girl with too much
severity, and desired that the warrant should stand open
against him for a fortnight to give him an opportunity of
sending her to a boarding-school, where strict attention
would be paid to her morals.
