UNION-HALL.

' CAUTION TO BUlLDERS.—Lastriight Mr. Cragg, Dis-
trict Surveyor, with Messrs. Meyrnott and Porter, att,:nded to
ascertain the opinion of the Magistrates on the Building Act,
as it related to a lodge now building in William-street, Kent-
road. A Mr. Hay had erected a large first rate building called
a ". Refuge," and since the completion of it had united the
building or lodge before mentioned to it ; in consequence of
this alteration it became necessary under the Building Acts :o
increase the thickness of the walls of the large building from.
the bresummee upwards one brick. Against this construc-
tion of the Act Mr. Robins, the Surveyor, who conduc:s
the building for Mr. Hay contended at great
—The two Magistrates, Messrs. Allen and Chambers,
after a most patient consideration of the cue, and after
hearing a very ingenious argument from Mr. Robins, who
quoted every section in the Act, decided that the Act was
framed expressly to the public against fire, and they
considered that Mr. Robins had taken a wrong view of use
case, therefore the building should be altered within ten days,
according fo the opinion of Messrs. Cragg arid Meymott. 1:
Mr. Robins felt dissatisfied with that decision he was at liberty
to appeal to the Oessions.
Mr. Robins said that he was perfectly satisfied with the Ma-
gistrates view of the case, and it was not his intention to carry
it any further.
ROBBING 'FURNISHED LODOINGS.—A woman about Sit
years of age was charged by her landlady with illetTally taking
away the sheets and counterpane from a ready furnished lodg-
ing. The ease was proved against her in the strongest manner,
when Mr. CHAMBERS recognized her as an old offender. She
acknowledged it to be " her second appearance in, that cha-
racter," having been two years ago committed to Brixton far
one month on a charge of a similar nature. The Magistrate
told her, that he would give her a week to consider whether
she would make known where she had disposed of the articles;
if she remained silent at the end of that time her punislini,ent
should be three months at Brixton, if not, only one month.

William 'Jewett, a shipwright and' warrant-
officer, was brought up by Orossmith to Union-h.tll, who suc-
ceeded in tracing him to Bristol (where he went by different
names), charged with having disposed of a great number of ar-
ticles,_ the property of Mr. Boggts, of Rotherhithe. With so
much ingenuity did the prisoner and his wife decamp, that it
required the most unremitting 'perseverance on the part of the
before-named Officer to discover their retreat, and no small cre-
dit is due to the zeal and activity of this Officer, that he suc-
ceeded, in so populous a city as Bristol, in capturing the pri-
soner just as he was on the point of embaiking for Canada.

ACCIDENT.-Yesterday afternoon, nho,it t
o'clock, an Islington coach was overturnt.ll at the corner a
Chancery-lane, in Fleet-street, by a coal waggon running
spinst it. There was one passenger, a very lusty Laxly, ia_
aide, who was, of course, much alarmed, but neitker the ccacit.
pan nor she was much hurt.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY

Xxtracts front the Mornittg Papers, Dec. 3, 1825.

[MORNING POST.]
We received last night, by Express, French
Papers to the Ist inst. and the Etoile of Thurs-
day.. The decline of the Funds had at last
ceased, and they were beginning slowly to reco-
ver. According to a letter from Rio de Janeiro,
given in the Etoile, there is a secret article in the
treaty lately concluded between Brazil and Por-
tugal, by which the Emperor Don Pedro re-
nounces for himself, and all his successors, all
claim to the Portuguese Crown. This is highly
probable, and in that case the next Sovereign
of Portugal will be the Infant Don Michel,
who has already shown no little impatience to
ascend the throne ; but who may derive instruc-
tion and wisdom, if not filial piety, from his
travels through the Continental States. The
Brazilian Minister for Foreign Affairs, M. de
Carvalho, was busily occupied in the formation
of a new Diplomatic corps, the names of some
members of which are given. The Emperor had
written an autograph letter to the Pope, whom
be addresses as " the Supreme Monarch of the
Christian Republic," and to whom he declares
" that he has taken the resolution of continuing
to answer the intentions of the Most High, by
preserving to the Church and to the holy legis-
lation of his ancestors the finest portion of the
globe." The Brazilian Ambassador at Rome is
also said to be charged to solicit the erection of
the Bishoprick at Rio into an Archbishoprick,
and a Cardinal's hat for the Abbe Boiret. Ac-
counts from Pernambacco, Bahie, and St. Paul,
stated, that-the intelligence of the Treaty with
Portugal had been received with great joy. All
Brazil was tranquil ; and it was said the Em-
peror would pay a visit to Europe, when his
Empress would be appointed Regent during his
absence. The opening of the Brazilian Cham-
bers was expected to take place on Wed-
nesday last, the Anniversary of the Corona-
tion of their Imperial Majesties. Intelli-
gence from. Vienna to the 20th ultimo, says,
that great activity prevailed in the department of
Foreign Affairs, from which numerous Couriers
were dispatched to Paris, Petersburgh, Berlin
and Madrid. The diplomatic correspondence
with London had been extremely active for some
time past, whence it was presumed that the ne-
gociations respecting Greece continued. It was
observed that Sir Henry Wellesley; the British
Ambassador, daily sent dispatches to Corfu and
the Mediterranean, and kept up an incessant cor-
respondence with Sir Frederick Adam, Lord
High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. The
extraordinary mission of Mr. Stratford Canning to
Constantinople had attracted the attention of the
Austrian Cabinet, which, it was affirmed,
had received a communication from the Eng-
lish Government, relative to the principal ob-
ject of this mission. M. Tatischeff. the Rus-
sian Ambassador Extraordinary, forwarded his
dispatches directly to the Emperor Alexander,
instead of sending theM to St. Petersburgh. On
the departure of the last courier from Jassy and
Bucharest, the order of the Sultan for the evacu-
ation of Wallachia and Moldavia by the Ottoman
troops had not yet been carried into effect. It
was probable, says the Vienna article, " that
the Foreign Ministers at Constantinople would
be obliged to transmit fresh notes on the subject
to the Reis Effendi, or that the Russian army on
the Pruth would make a threatening demonstra-
tion to force the Divan to perform its promises."
