UNITED STATES,

EXCHANGE, FORIIICIN.-The rates of Exchange on Europe
do not vary much from our last reports. On yesterday, which
was packet day, 1101 on England was offered ; 311 was
given ; and 11* on prime United States Bank Bills was
asked. This is a highly promising exhibit of the condition of
our foreign debt, and shows that as our crops are going for
ward, while our importations are light, that before long we
shall he free from the load of European debt, and the balance
of trade n 11 be in our favour.

EXCHANGE—DOMESTIC.—The exchanges upon the Southern
States, whence come crops of cotton, continue to promise to
be in a very favourable condition. Our merchants who hava
suspended paper in Mississippi feel highly encouraged.
Treasury notes, which are used at the south and west for re-
mittances to this city, there bear a premium, but here they
have fallen a little below par—from to ,J 7 discount. The
Secretary of the Treaury is now about to come into the
market with notes at six per cent. to raise specie. This he
will hardly be able to effect now, specie being at a premium,

BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY.)

MISFORTUNES SELDOM COME ALONE.—Shortly after Sir Frederick
Roe took his scat on the bench, a private of the let regiment of Life
Guards, at present stationed at Windsor, acquainted him that a young
man named Battersby, alias Disney, had been remanded to Tothill-fields
prison. Westminster, on a charge of feloniously intermarrying with a
Miss Stoven, a ward in Chancery ; and as he had gone to the prison to
identify him as having enlisted in the regiment, from which he some
time back had deserted, he wished to know would he be set at liberty
under such circumstances, in case the offence for which he stood charged
could not be substantiated against him.
Sir FREDERICK Rois said he could express no opinion respecting the
result of the charge against the prisoner, but should the decision of
the Magistrates be in his favour, the applicant might rest assured he
should not be discharged from custody without first sending a communi-
cation to the officer of the regiment.
The applicant thanked the Magistrate and retired.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE

FRANCE.
The Peers met to-day at two o'clock, on the invitation
of the Chancellor, to choose, by ballot, the grand deputa-
tion which will have the honour to go and meet his Ma-
jesty on Monday next, at the Royal sitting for opening
the Session.

On occasion of the death of the Count de Montlosier,
the Journals have stated some circumstances of a serious
nature, on the conduct of the Clergy of Clermont. The
Government expects information on this subject, which
will enable it to appreciate proceedings which would seem
to prove a blamable intolerance.—Moniteur, Dec. 16.
PARIS, Dec. Is.—We learn with pleasure, that public
tranquillity was soon restored at Rheims after the departure
of the Priest who had excited the disturbances, and the
shutting up of the Church. But the Moniteur
Parisien takes care to inform us that the closing
of the Church was ordered by the civil authorities,
in concert with the ecclesiastical authorities. It adds that
thirty persons arrested during the riots are in the hands of
justice ; as for the priest, who was the original cause of the
disturbance, it is said that he only uttered some imprudent
words, which perhaps were ill understood.
A letter from Milan, of 6th December, says—" Several
political offenders included in the amnesty have arrived
here, hitherto they are only refugees ; the amnesty, which
was to be general, is unhappily not yet applied to those who
have been transported, or to those who have been con-
demned, and are in foreign countries. Prince Metternich
has not renounced his project of an Italian Confederation,
but he meets with great difficulties ; one of the obstacles
would be the conscription, which has not been in
force in several states of Italy since the fall of Napoleon,
for the abolition of the Conscription was one of the means
which the Government, re-established in 181.5, made use of
to conciliate the inhabitants of the country. Another diffi-
culty is the power which Austria would wish to reserve of
commanding-in-chief, employing, and that even out of Italy,
the troops of the Confederation. As for the Conscripti, n,
Austria proposes to assist the Governments which might
wish to adopt it, with an armed force to carry it into
effect. With respect to the second question it would
substitute for the troops withdrawn from Italy, other troops
of the empire, in order to be more sure of the tranquil-
lity of the States, and in case of war, the garrisons of the
fortresses would be composed of two-thirds national and
one-third Austrian troops.—Le Commerce.
London, England, 1838-12-18

PORTUGAL.

LISBON, DEC. 7.—The Iberia steamer, which ought to
have arrived here with the mails from Falmouth on the
Ist instant, is yet missing. The weather has been tre-
mendous on this coast. On the 24th ult. the English
schooner Sappho, Bassett, master, from Plymouth, in
ballast to Seville, and the French brig Jules et Juliette,
from Havre to this port, were lost at Nazareth, about
fifteen miles north of the place where the large vessel men-
Coned in my last wets wrecked. The crews of these two
had the good fortune to escape, but, it is painful to add,
were robbed and narrowly escaped being murdered by the
natives, who crowded down to the beach attracted by the
prospect of plunder. The Dutch galliot Mars, from
Hamburgh to Lisbon, with a cargo of butter, was lost on
the following day a few miles south of the Tagus, and all the
crew perished. From Cadiz we learn that several vessels
have been lost in or near the hay ; amongst others
the English schooner .Experiment, which went on
shore near Santi Petri. On the 30th ult, the Liver-
pool packet (steamer) arrived here from Falmouth,
having on her way been providentially the means
of saving upwards of 140 lives. On approaching
Ericeira Captain Brooks, her commander, seeing a large
barque with her foremast and bowsprit gone, struggling in
vain to beat of from a lee shore, only three miles distant,
against a furious gale from the westward, immediately made
towards her, and took her in tow at a moment when every
other hope of escape had fled. In one hour more she
would have been on the rocks. She proved to be the
Dutch transport Banca, with 130 troops on board, from
Rotterdam to Batavia. When they got within about a
mile and a half of the entrance to the Tagus, the tow-ropes
broke, and in a moment the steamer shot a-head. The
Dutch Captain, who was totally ignorant of the navigation
of the bar, and saw no pilot-boat anywhere. immediately
began firing signal-guns, and the people on board cried out
most piteously, imploring their English friends not to aban-
don them to their fate. Their distress may be conceived,
and so may their joy on seeing the steamer turning round
and making towards them again. The sea running too high
for it to be possible to fasten on new tow-ropes, Captain
Brooks with much difficulty made the Dutchman under-
stand his directions, which were to follow him closely, and
he would lead the transport in safe.

CRIMINAL COURT-MONDAY.

OLD CO UR T.
The second session of this Court of the present Mayor-
alty, was :opened yesterday morning before the Right
Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Sergeant Arabin,
the Sheriff, and other City officers.
James Jiggins, about forty years of age, was indicted
for receiving .591. 10s., the money of Samuel Solomon,
under false pretences.
The circumstances of the case were shortly as follow :
The defendant was the steward of the Garrick Club-
house, and in that capacity became acquainted with the
prosecutor, who is a fruit salesman in Covent-garden. In
July, 1837, he obtained cash for a bill for 32/. from the
prosecutor, and subsequently in October in the same year
he obtained cash from him for two bills of 301. each.
These bills were accepted by Messrs. Fairbrother and Co.,
house ar.d estate agents, but when application was made
at their office for payment of the two latter bills, a clerk
stated that they were forgeries, and that they would not
be paid. Upon this a warrant was obtained by the prose-
cutor and lodged against the defendant, who had in the
meantime become an inmate of the Queen's Bench. In
November last the defendant served notice upon the pro-
secutor that he was ready to meet the charge against him
ail jievr-street, and after an investigation he was held to
It was under these circumstances that he appeared
at the bar in this Court.
In support of the case, the prosecutor stated that when
the defendant brought him the bills in question ho reprc-
kiented that they were given to him by the acceptors, who
he said were respectable house and estate agents, for pro-
nor; y belonging to himself and his brother in Cambridge,
which be had mortgagee.
The Faso,-
wtor's son corroborated this statement.
A witness Rated Fillingharn was called, who deposed
that he was the party who traded under the firm of Fair-
brother and Co. He said that he. became acquainted with

HA YMARKET.

Power having arrived at last by the Roseius, made his
appearance last night to a crowded house, and met with
one of the warmest and heartiest receptions we have known
to greet a returned fivourite. He played in the Irish Am-
bassador and The Irish Lion, and never acquitted himself
with more genuine humour, freshness, and vivacity. He
acted, in fact, with even more than his usual life and ani-
mation, and natural buoyancy and high spirits were appa-
rent in the man beyond what were required to be assumed
by the actor. In a word, he seemed glad to see everybody
and everybody glad to see him. He was vociferously
cheered at his entree and all through his performance, and
loudly called for to respond to the public welcome, which
anddid in a short and appropriate speech—thanking the
ience for their comptiments—regrettiwr that he had been
detained from them beyond the expected time—and pro-
mising, now that he had come, to make all atonement in
his power for his absence. The Haymarket will, doubtless,
now have bumpers to the end of the season,

An alarm of fire was
given three o'clock, yesterday afternoon, about
of smoke bursting from the
Piccadilly, in consequence of volumes
Egyptian
which Messrs. Reece and Hall, in the part in
Co. had lately carried on their
business as chem
i§ts.The Bayaderes were at that time
in the midst of their dance, and many large parties were
present, and in consequence great confusion was produced.
Fortunately some englnes.were quickly brought to play on
the premises, and the lire was consequently soon extin-
guished, without any material loss being sustained, the
stock of Messrs. Reece having been removed to their new
premises,

One of the first acts of General ALAIX'S War
Administration is the promulgation of a Royal decree,
dissolving the Army of Reserve of 40,000 men,
raised, or about to be raised, by virtue of a similar
decree of the 23d of October last, the command of
which was then bestowed upon General NARVAEZ.

interested in the settlement of this question. Some
alarm has been created by the warlike preparations
which Belgium is making, and which have roused the
Dutch to the necessity of counter demonstrations ;
but we are satisfied that there is not at present the
slightest real ground for it.

We are sorry to state that the recovery of the
Duchess ALEXANDER of Wurtemberg, late Princess
MARY of Orleans, whose serious illness and removal
to Genoa, we recently announced, begins to be con-
sidered hopeless. Her Royal Highness has been
removed from Genoa to Pisa, whither the Duke of
NEMOURS set out on Saturday. Her complaint is
rapid consumption.

The National indignantly complains of the brutality
with which a few weeks ago, it was compelled to con-
tradict a statement, which can no longer be denied nor
concealed—namely, the havoc made by scarlet fever
and scurvy among the French squadron in the Gulf of
Mexico.

COURT OF QUEENS BENCH-DEC. 17.

TUFTON AND ANOTHER V. WHITMORE AND ANOTHER.
This was an action brought to recover from the defen-
dants damages for alleged negligences committed by them
as attorneys and solicitors in causes in which they had
been employed for the plaintiffs in the Courts of Chancery
and Equity Exchequer in Ireland. The evidence consisted
almost entirely of documents, the reading of which occupied
the greater part of the day. Lord Brougham was called
as a witness in the early part of the case, and having given
his evidence left the Court. The question of negligence
depended upon matters of a technical nature.
The Jury returned a verdict for the defendants.

Mr. George Duppa, a young gentleman dressed in the
highest style of fashion, was charged by Mrs. Harriet Willett,
of 25, Gloucester-place, New-road, with the following felony :
—The prosecutrix said that Mr. Duppa came to look at her
lodgings on Monday last, and after telling har that he would
consider about taking them, made an excuse that he had
left his glove up stairs, and during her absence in search
of it the parlour was robbed of three sovereigns and a half.
About two o'clock this day she met Mr. Duppa near Albany-
terrace•, Regent's-park, and gave him into the custody of a
policeman.
Mr. Duppa said that, at the time the prosecutrix stated that
he was at her house, he was at his father's seat in Kent, on
a shooting excursion, and had on the day previous brought up
some game to his brother. _ .

Mr.-11 tldwin Duppa, of No. 15, Albany-terrace, Regent's
Park, a barrister, and magistrate for the county of Kent, con-
firmed his brother's statement. He said that he was a student
at the University of Oxford, where be was about to return on
Monday to pursue his studies.
Mrs. Willett positively swore that Mr. Duppa was the per-
son who uas at her house on Monday.
The Meots?aATE said there was no doubt that the prose-
cutrix was mistaken in the identity of the person; but as she
positively swore to him, he must give bail for 1001. to appear
on Tuesday.
The bail was instantly put in.

BOW-STREET.--(T lIIS DAY.)

An elderly woman of respectable appearance, named Ann
Lander, 10, Pitt-street. Tottenham-court-road, was brought
up by Parsons, 111 F division, who stated that on Saturday
night, about ten o'clock, in consequence of information he had
received from two gentlemen, he watched the prisoner in a
beot and shoe-shop, 60, High-street, Bloomsbury, and on her
coming out he laid hold of her, demanding to know what she
had concealed under her shawl, when the pair of childrens'
boots produced fell at her feet. On taking her before the
proprietor of the shop, the articles were identified as his pro-
perty, and had not been sold by him on that or any former
occasion to the prisoner.
James Roberts, the shoprean, proved that the prisoner had
been in his employer's shop at the time in question, for the
purpose of inquiring for a pair of slippers; but as she could
not be suited, she went away without making a purchase. The
boots produced had been safe in the back part of the shop
when the prisoner entered, and they were not purchased by
her, but were delivered to him by the policeman.
The prisoner accounted for her possessing the boots by say-
ing, that while she stood at the counter two men rushed into
the shop and drove her against a quantity cf boots and shoes
which lay on the counter. She was in the act of picking up
the articles from the floor, when the policeman came to the
door and took her into custody.
Having no witnesses to support her statement, Sir F. Rog
ordered her to be sent for two months to hard labour in the
House of Correction.

Information of the following robbery has been received :
Stolen, on Friday morning, the 12th inst., between the hours
of eight and nine o'clock, from the Northumberland Arms
public-house, Strand, a double-cased gold watch, capped and
jewelled, Roman figures No. 5,451, with a cairngorum gold
seal, gold key, and metal key, attached by a gold curb chain,

Li NARRATIVE of the EXPEDITION of DISCOVERY
into the INTERIOR of AFRICA in 1837, through the Countries

Auspices .f the British Government.
" In this narrative we find Sir James Alexander, as hitherto,
lively and entertaining. Struggling through some 4,000 miles of
a wild and savage country, he has greatly enlarged the bounds of
our geographical knowledge, and done much towards the accumu-
lation of natural history ; but the chief interest of the work lies in
its personal adventures and vicissitudes • the gallant Captain having
encountered all the dangers of lion, elephant, rhinoceros, gnu, os-
trich, and baboon combat "—Literary Gazette.

THAMES-OFFICE.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF CRUELTY AT SEA.—Thomas
Clerk, mate of the ship Tropic, from Barbadoes, was brought
before the B^nch on a warrant charging him with a series of
violent assaults on John Craeknell, a seaman on board that
vessel. Cracknell, who has gone mad through the ill-treat-
ment he received, is confined at the Lunatic Asylum at Beth-
nal-green.
John Johnson, an able seaman on board the vessel, stated
that Cracknell sailed with them from Barbadoes, he being
then in good health. About five days after leaving the island
the mate struck Cracknell and kicked him, a❑d on the fol-
lowing day, as he was going down the hatchway, he again
assaulted him, and threw a handspike at his head, which
hitting him inflicted a dreadful wound on his head and eye.
Cracknell fell down senseless, and on animation being restored
became a lunatic. Clark, finding the man troublesome,
lashed him down on the deck, where he remained twenty-four
hours, tl,e defendant striking him as he passed. The wretched
man having called out to the defendant repeatedly to be re-
leased from the cords, the mate undid them, but had him
lashed to the butt of the bowsprit, where he kept him exposed
to all weathers, tied down by his hands and feet, for three
weeks. In his cross-examination, witness denied that Crack-
nell had shown any signs of insanity before the defendant's
ill-usage of him, the man having done his work well, and be-
haved himself reasonably and properly.
Two surgeons certified that Cracknell's body was covered
with wounds from the ropes with which he had been so long
tied to the bowsprit, and with contusions from blows.
In his defence, Clark sa'd lie was induced to act harshly
in consequence of the man's violence whenhe became insane.
The Magistrate ordered him to find bail in 2001. to appear
and take his trial at the Admiralty Sessions.

ing such a confederacy as this must be esteemed a public
benefactor, and that character the present Lord Mayor is
likely to attain if he has not already done so.
Nor is it any trifling proof of, and addition to,
his claim on the public gratitude, to find that be has
already incurred, as he might naturally enough expect
to do, the abuse and insults of the parties whose ill-gotten
gains he is in the act of circumventing. He need require
no better testimony to the success of his labours than this ;
and we trust, therefore, that the very efforts which are used
to deter him in his useful and patriotic course, will become
the most powerful motives with him for persisting in it.
Nor is the time otherwise than most important. Bread
and coals are evidently the two most important articles of
purchase to the poor ; and if, while one is so dear, the
other can be made cheap, how much will the evil and hard-
ship in the one case be alleviated by the god-send of the
other ! But should the efforts of the Lord Mayor not be
found sufficient, single-handed, to abate and beat down this
intolerable nuisance and monopoly, we hope the powers of
the law will be called to his assistance ; and that, though
the pillory is exploded, there will be, in fine and imprison-
ment, sufficient terrors found to punish and defeat these
combinators. At any rate let us not hear in future of
smaller offenders being reached if the law is not strong and
comprehensive enough to lay hold of and crush these great
eviathans.—Morning Herald.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

Yesterday David Macnin was brought up charged by
Mr. Lewis Raphael, of the Crescent, America-square,
who stated that he had had transactions in Mexican Stock
with the house of Lizardi and Co., in which the prisoner
was a clerk. Between the 12th and 19th of October, Old
Mexican bonds and scrip had been sent to that firm to the
amount of about 2,0001., to be converted into New
Mexican Stock, and repeated applications had been made
for the new stock, which was not, however, received until
the 23d of November. Witness's clerk had left the old
bonds and scrip at the counting-house of the firm.
Alderman PIRIE, who sat for the LORD MAYOR, after
hearing the prisoner and the parties for the prosecution,
remanded the former till Monday. The officers had only
just succeeded in apprehending the prisoner.

VICTO1?1A.

The Christmas entertainments, provided for the visitors
of this theatre, commenced last night under the favourable
auspices of a crowded and good-humoured audience. The
pantomime rejoiced in the attractive title of Harlequin and
the Spirit of the Elfin Glen, and, according to the autho-
rity of the bill, which we do not feel disposed to dis-
pute, it was " Romantic, Germanic, legendary, serio and
operatic," The dramatis personce are really very pleasant
personages t the loves of a young German huntsman and
an imprisoned beauty excite the cOmpassion of the Elfin
Queen and the sympathy of the audience whilst the terror
occasioned by OA flat tl appdfitide of Bailin Oreathead
and the grim sorceress Mopsa, was speedily relieved by
the amusement which they were doomed to afford in the
characters of clown and pantaloon. The harlequinade was as
rich In fltn and frolic, merry symbols, metamorphoses, and
confusion; a 8 the mat eitratagAnt raticy could conceive.
ilttitnPrtot as Harlequin, and Mrs. Worrel as Colum-

Clown, displayed no small ingenuity and invention in the
modes of distorting his face and body. The scenery was

SADLER' S WELLS.

Last night this theatre was crowded in every part by the
holiday folks of the north-eastern part of the metropolis.
In addition to the attraction of the drama of Oliver Twist,
which was repeated for the 17th time, a new pantomime,
entitled Harlequin and Little Tommy 'nicker, and which is
founded on the well known poem printed by Master New-
berry, over against the statue of Queen Anne, in St. Paul's
Churchyard, and commencing thus : •
Little Tommy Tucker sung for his supper, •
How shall he cut it without ere a knife?
What shall he have? White bread and butter.
How shall be marry without ere .a wife ?

After an introduction- of the usual description to this
species of entertainment, in which two lovers are tormented
by the machinations of a young giant, the audience are in-
troduced to his father at supper, but his head and shoulders
only are introduced, and they are of such a size as to oc-
cupy the whole of the scene. The lovers are transformed
into Harlequin end Columbine, and their tormentors into
Clown and Pantaloon. The pantomime is superior to those
generally produced at the minor theatres, and many of
the tricks excited the most uproarious mirth on the
part of the audience. The scenery, too, was of a cha-
racter highly creditable to the managers of this theatre,
and included two well executed dioramic paintings by
Messrs. Marshall and Meadows. Altogether the pantomime
met with a most favourable reception, and we have no
doubt will prove a source of great attraction. The first
piece was not eery attentively listened to in consequence
of the crowded state of the theatre ; but immediately the
curtain drew alp for the pantomime a calm ensued which
continued without interruption, except by the hearty laugh-
ter and inexhaustible mirth of the crowded audience.
