L A MBE7'H- STREET.

Mr. Thaekery the assistant-solicitor of the Board of
Customs, waited upon Mr. Hardwicke on Saturday, and
had a private interview on the subject, it is is supposed, of
the removal of the prisoners, Jourdan and Sullivan (who
are charged with the extensive Custom-house robbery) from
the New Prison, Clerkenwell, to the Court of Kinfts
Bench, this morning, on a writ of habeas corpig, which
had been granted by the Lord Chief Justice, and with the
view that proper means may be tqlicait to guard the pri-
soners from one place to the Wier, and prevent all attempts
at such a rescue as Was successfully made in the case of the
notorious Roy Soiomons,

UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.

The article in this number which will be read at the
various military clubs with most interest, is a sketchy
narrative of the proceedings of General Evans's bri-
gade, which goes by the name of the " Westminster
Grenadiers," in the Peninsula, by a gentleman who
signs himself " Miles." According to him, this bri-
gade is far from being in that high state of discipline
which we in England suppose it to have attained ; and
many weeks must elapse before .it can take the field
against the Carlists, with any hope of achieving a
decisive victory. As, however, there is decidedly an
animus in the writer's mind, who speaks throughout
as if under the influence of strong personal disappoint-
ments, we will not pin our faith too closely on his
statements. " A Midshipman's Reminiscences" ale
amusing, with a spice of personality, that gives them
a relish, inasmuch as it is perfectly good-natured.
" Lord Exmouth and Sir Hudson Lowe" gives the
details of a correspondence which has little or no pub-
lic interest to recommend it.

UNION- MALL.

An investigation was gone into, relative to the alleged
misconduct of some policemen, belonging to the M divi-
sion. It appears that three men were sentenced to three
months' imprisonment on the evidence of a policeman named
Rowley, for carrying on an illicit glass manufactory in
James-street, Gravel-lane. The prisoners subsequently
sent to the Magistrates, giving information that Rowley had
known of their proceedings for some time past, and had
frequently, when on duty, visited their place in the night,
where he stopped, eating and drinking at their expense,
and that he had also received various presents in articles
f glass.

The Commissioners of Police ordored an investigation,
and Sergeant Gubbitas, it was ascertained had also a know-
ledge of the prisoners' carrying on their illicit trade. Both
were consequently ordered before the Magistrates, and
the evidence fully proved that the allegations were not ill-
founded.

The MAGISTRATES convicted Sergeant Gubbitas in the
pena' of 51., and Rowley was fined 40s. under the new Act.

TOWN-HALL.

Mr. Wilkinson, the master of the Protestant Dissenter s'
School in Maze-pond, was charged with severely chastising
the child of Mrs. Ferguson, aged seven years.
Mr. 'WILKINSON had received a: letter complaining of
the boy having trodden upon a Gentleman's toes, and on
his entering the school he was stopped, pulled over a ,large
box, and five boys were employed in holding down his
head, arms, and legs, while the defendant cruelly beat him
with a large rod.

The defendant said the boy had used bad language to
the Gentleman, and he considered it his duty mildly to
chastise him. The defendant acknowledged that ho did
not know the party wbo wrote the letter complaining of
the boy.

Alderman FAREBIIOTHER censured such a proceeding
upon anonymous information. Mr. Alderman Farebrother
then sent for one of the guardians, and Mr. Hart, of
Union-street, attended, who promised, if the case were ad-
journed, to communicate with the member of the committee.
This was agreed to.

On the case again coming before the Bench,
Alderman FAREBROTHER informed them that it would
stand over for magisterial investigation. He could not see
why the reporter was not admitted at the private inquiry ;
but the facts should be ascertained, and full publicity given
to them.

MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

This patriarchal periodical still goes on, not like
Maturin's " Melmoth," " conquering and to conquer,"
but prosing, and to prose. The number before us is
inspired by the very genius of twaddle. What, for in-
stance, is to be said for the following Address " To
the Moon," further than that it affects to be a poem,
on the same principle that Dogberry affected to be an
orator—on the strength of his talking nonsense ?

" Art thou pale for weariness
Of climbing heaven, and
Looking dovrit on earth ?
Wandering companionle,st
Among the stars, that hove
A. different birth?
And ever changing, like a
Joyless eye,
That finds no object worth
Its cznstancy?"
This crack-brained effusion must assuredly have
emanated from Bedlam. Grub-street, as becomes its
time-ballowad character, would indigßaMly repudiate
such tuneless and senseless drivel, We must„ lichweYeF,
in common fairness observe that the no.mber contains
one redeeming essay, entitled the " First Violet," which
displays fancy and some descriptive talent, and pro-
ceeds, as we are told, from the pen gtf hasket,maker
named Miller.

TAYLOR V. W-A1T.p.,4

The LORD CuANcELLoa also n.ave judgment in this case,
which related to disputes with reference' to the Opera House.
The facts are all well known, the case having been so re-
peatedly before the public.. his Lordship affirmed the deci-
sion of the Vice- Chancellor, and directed an inquiry of what
was due to Ml. Waters.

ELLIS V. THE ATTONEY-GENERAL.

The testator in this case, after giving certain legacies to his
different friends and relations, gave the rest of his property to
'trustees, to be applied to such charitable or other purposes
as they or their survivors, executors, or administrators might
think tit, without being accountable to any person for the dis-
position thereof. On the case being argued, the trustees
contended that the gift was an absolute gift to them, and that
even if the Court considered it not a charitable gift, its nature
was sufficiently pointed out for the Court to execute it.
His LORDSHIP this morning gave judgment, declaring the
gift not to be an absolute one to the Trustees, and that it was
so uncertain, that the Court would not execute it. This judg-
ment confirms the order made by his Honour the Vice-
Chancellor.

His Lonnstric then proceeded to hear motions.

The MASTER of the ROLLS and the VICE-CIIANCELLOR
this being the last day of Term, were occupied the whole o'
the morning with motions of no public interest.
The MASTER of the ROLLS will sit at the Rolls' Court
Chancery-lane, to morrow, and, after swearing in the solici.
tors, will proceed to hear petitions.
London, England, 1836-02-01

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

KAY P. MARSHALL.

His LORDSHIP gave judgment this morning in this case,
which was argued some few days ago. The question related
to a patent obtained by the plaintiff for a new mode of spin-
ning flax. The defendants had infringed that patent, and the
plaintiff therefore tiled his bill to restrain them from doing so.
To that bill the defendants put in a demurrer, which was
argued before his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, who directed
the plaintiff to bring his action to try the validity of his patent.
From that decision the plaintiff appealed to the Lord Chan-
cellor. His Lordship this morning gave judgment, overruling
the demurrer.
London, England, 1836-02-01

THE KING V. ISLING.

An application was made for a habeas corpus, directed to
the defendants, Joseph and Grace Isling, requiring that they
should bring up the bodies of 'Matilda Harris and - Har-
ris, the children of Benjamin Harris, who died in May last.
The object of the motion was to get these children, who
were the heirs to a considerable amount of property, out of
the custody of the defendants, wl:o were their maternal
grandfather and grandmother, and who belonged to a low
station in life, in order to have them given over to the care
and superintendence of the person who was left by their
father's will as executor as well a 3 their guardian.
Rule made absolute.

INSOLVENT COURT-SATURDAY.

MARRIED AND SINGLE.
An insolvent named Forst, of gentlemanly appearance,
was opposed by a creditor in person, who asked him if he
was not married and had a child ?
Insolvent replied in the negative.
CHIEF‘COMMISSIONER-If so, that is no ground of re-
mand under the Act of Parliament.
Insolvent—l am not married, Sir ;lam a single man.
Creditor—l-Ins there not been a marriage settlement with
your wife ?

Insolvent—My wife ! What wife ? I tell you I have no
wife.—(Loud laughter.)
Creditor—lndead you have. I can prove it.—(Renewed
laughter,) .7.
CIIMP COMMISSIONER—Then put up the parish clerk.—
(Roars of laughter.)
Insolvent—The man labours under a great mistake. I
am not married.
The creditor repeated he was married, and mentioned the
name of a female.
The insolvent ejaculated " Oh," and denied that ho was
in any other state than that et being poor, and in single
blessedness,
The case was ultimately adjourned to perfect certain
4fects,

A New Orleans Price Current of Dec. 26, has been re-
ceived at the North and Suuth American Coffee-house. It
has the following remarks :—" The actual condition of our
markets at this moment would be very difficult to describe, and
would occupy a large space. Persons at a distance, totally
unacquainted with its character, might be led to suppose—
judging from the excessively high price of a great many arti-
cles here—that the market was quite lively, when, in fact, it
is rather in a drooping state. Western produce, which con-
tributes so largely to render it active, is arriving but sparingly
—the receipts generally not being more than sufficient for
home demand. This state of things cannot continue a great
while; but we do not expect to see an immediate change, as
our last accounts from the Upper Country represent both the
Ohio and Mississippi as not being in a condition to let out the
needed supplies. On Sunday evening last we had some rain,
but Monday ushered in fair weather, which lasted up to yes-
terday, when it was again overcast and wet. The Mississippi
continuedto recede, being now six feet eight inches below high
water mark. After a lapse of more than five weeks, during
which, and particularly the latter part of that time, the Cot-
ton market has remained in a most deplorable dull condition ;
but operations on Wednesday last were at length resumed ;
since that a heavy business has been going forward, but at a re-
duction of from IA- to 2 Cents. on prices given ten or twelve
days back ; while tine Cottons, on account of their great scar-
city, have not fallen near so much."

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

Two men of sable complexion, dressed half like sailors
and half in an oriental style, were placed at the bar,
charged with being found on Saturday wandering about at
the west end, holding out their hands, receiving whatever
passers-by might choose to bestow on them.

- The MAGISTRATE inquired what account they gave of
themselves, and was told that they were_ unable to speak a
single word of English, and had remained for some hours
at the station-house, without being understood, until the
policeman, 158 E, happened to come in, and addressed
them in Hindostanee. He appeared to-day, and stated
that they had come from Bombay, as sailors in the good
ship the captain Cook, and were to return to India in five
days in another vessel. They had on Saturday clandestinely
left the vessel, and had advanced into the regions of the
west-end, to view the wealth and curiosities of the English
King. They were desirous of finding out the residence of
their Serang. (boatswain), but were unable to find it. They
had held out their hands, after the fashion of their country,
to receive whatever might be placed in them, but they had
no intention of demanding alms. The Magistrate demanded
would they remain quiet at their vessel until the day of
sailing, if he let them depart. On the question being asked
by the interpreter, one of them placed his hand most sig-
nificantly under his throat, to intimate that he would give
them leave to hang him if he was caught out again. They
were placed under the guidance of an officer to conduct
them to their ship.

FIVE BOATS SWAMPED.

On Sunday, about half-past five o'clock in the afternoon,
the following melancholy and dreadful accident took place
at Battersea-bridge, attended with the loss of the life of a
young gentleman named Thomas Kibble, the occurrence of
which threw the company at the Swan Tavern and Tea-gar-
dens, as well as the pedestrians on the bridge, into the
greatest alarm. At about the hour above named, a cutter,
manned by four young gentlemen and a coxswain, was seen
pulling in the direction of the bridge, and from their ex-
treme youth it was then thought by several amateurs and
watermen who observed them approaching, that they would
not be able to shoot the bridge, for the centre arch of which
they appeared to be pulling. This idea proved to be but
too correct, for just as they had arrived under the arch,
their boat was taken by the strong current then running,
and dashed with considerable velocity and violence against
the piles of the bridge, the concussion of which occasioned
the cutter to go to pieces, and the whole of the crew
were instantly immersed in the stream. Their cries
for assistance was truly heart-rending. A gentleman,
who observed their distressing situation, immediately put off
in his boat, but so powerful was the current, and his feel:.
ings so much excited, that notwithstanding his great expe-
rience, he lost the controul of his wherry, and it was thrown
against the piles and went to pieces. Three other boats,
which had also put out, on arriving at the middle arch of
the bridge, became unmanageable, and were swamped, and
the crews of each were all precipitated into the water.
There were between 15 and 20 persons plunging about at
one time, all of whom, however, we are happy to state, ma-
naged to escape death, some by swimming and others by
b clinginr, to the piles of the bridge until othr boats came to
their relief, with the exception of one of the young gentle-
men, whose name is above given, and who belonged to the
boat to which the accident first occurred, who unfortunately
sunk to rise no more. The age of the poor youth who has
thus lost his life was about twelve, and indeed those of his
companions varied but from twelve to fourteen. Imme-
diately after the accident men were employed in dragging
the river for the body of the deceased, which was found
yesterday. It awaits a coroner's inquest.

NEWSH A V E R!
OR, SECOND EXPERIMENT.
A Monkey—who shaving first tried on himself,
And cutting his jowl, the mischievous elf—
llesolv'd to embrace opportunity pat,
And operate next on the beard of the Cat

The place of a mirror adapted to suit,
There stood in the room then a high-polish'd Boot,
In which Warren's Jet, of pre-eminent hue,
Display'd the tine forms of reflection to view.

Now seizing poor Puss, to the bright Boot he bore her,
The Monkey, her shadow then gleaming before her,
And answered her struggles with chatter and blows,
Her phiz while he soap'd trom her ears to her nose.

The Cat, thus essaying in vain at resistance.
And mewing in pitiful plaint for assistance,
With wonder the same operation now saw
Performed in, or shewn by the Jet of eclat !

In front of the Boot, then, as if to explain it,
The method of shaving, how best to attain it.
The act interspersing with grin and grimace,
The Ape clear'd the Cat of each hair on her face!

And strange though it seems, yet the frolicsome elf
Was much more successful with Puss than himself;
The Shaver adroitly concluding his scraping,
The Shav'd with the loss of her whiskers escaping!

The in triumph, the parlour now sought,
bright Boot to a company brought

MIDDLESEX COAL ASSOCIATION.
The London Collier and Coal Company having obtained
the repeal of the Act of Parliament restricting more than Five
Persons from joining in the Coal Trade, and laid down a course of
management and operation far more extensive than was contemp-
lated by the Middlesex Coal Association, the Proprietors of the
latter Company have considered that it would be more advantageous
to the Shareholders generally to join the LONDON COLLIER
and COAL COMPANY, and thereby render the improvements
which they had contemplated making in the Trade much more
beneficial both to themselves and the Public ; they therefore re-
commend those persons to whom Shares were not allotted in the
Middlesex Coal Association, to apply for Shares in the London
Collier and Coal Company, the present Offices of which are No.

CORONERS' INQUEST.

Yesterday at two o'clock Mr. BAKER, the Coroner, and
the Jury empannelled on the preceding day, re-assembled
at the Caledonian Tavern, West Hackney, for the further
prosecuting their inquiry, touching the death of a new-born
male infant, to which a young woman named Jane Hale, in
the service of a gentleman in that neighbourhood, had given
birth on Saturday last.
Sergeant Barker, N 25, and Police-constable N 259,
found the body of the deceased under the bed in which the
mother (Jane Hale) was lying at the time. It was quite
dead, but not cold. They also found a knife stained with
blood under a basket in the same room, and to which Jane
Hale had pointed. The former witness had asked the
mother who the father of the child was, and her reply was,
" I shall not tell you."

the deceased. Between eleven and twelve o'clock on that
day (Sunday) the nurse who was attending her left the
room, when Jane Hale, addressing him, said, " Oh, dear, it's
a bad job." Witness said, " Yes, 'tis a bad job ;" upon
which Jane Hale observed, " I did not know what to do.
I had no father for the child. I kept it a secret from my
mistress. I kept it a secret all along. I did not know
what to do with it, it came so soon. I went down to pre-
pare breakfast, and was taken so ill that I found I must go
up stairs again. I took the knife and went up stairs, and
as soon as I was delivered I took the child and cut its
throat. As soon as I got well again I intended to take and
make away with it, and also to make away with myself."
Witness then asked her what the father of the child was ?
She replied that he was an omnibus driver.
Cotton:a—Did you at any time observe her exhibit any
aberration of intellect ? Witness—Not any, Sir.
CORONER—Was she aware, do you think, who you
were? Witness—l should think so, Sir
CORONER—Had you your polico dress on at the time?
Witness—Yes, Sir.
The CORONER here read over the evidence, which was
very luminous indeed, and
The Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against
Jane Hale," against whom the Coroner made out a warrant
of commitment to Newgate.

30 passengers, amongst whom are the Duke of Palmella,
Conde Villa Real, and Baron Rendorff. The Duke of
Terceira had landed, and gone to his country seat five
miles from Lisbon. The finances are in a low state. It was
rumoured that Miguel was expected to effect a landing in
the Algarves, and that Gomez's next movement would be
directed to that province. It was also reported at Lisbon
that Gomez was in full march towards Madrid. The
Liverpool called at Oporto on the 16th, but brings no news.

best quality.

Paris is 46 francs per 159 kilogrammes, which is equal to 295.
per English sack of 280 pounds. The highest price of the
best London made Flour in London, is 38s. per sack, showing
a difference of 9s. per sack, or nearly 24 per cent. ; and the

LAY V. LAWSON.

Mr. ARCHBOLD, in the absence of his leader, stated the
case to the jury. This was an action of libel, which the
plaintiff, as a tradesman, had found it necessary to bring
against the defendant, the publisher of the Times newspa-
per, to recever a compensation in damages for a libel, pub-
lished upon the plaintiff in August last, in that journal.
The libel appeared in the shape of an advertisement, stat-
ing that a writ of capias had been issued against the plaintiff,
but that he kept out of the way to avoid being served with
the writ, and the advertisement offered a reward of 51. to
any one who would discover the plaintiff's residence. Now,
the fact was, that there was not the slightest justification
for such an advertisement, for the plaintiff was not keeping
out of the way, but might have been found at any moment
that any person who really wanted him might desire to
find him.

James O'Brien had long known the plaintiff. At the
time of the publication of this libel, witness lived close to
the house of Selby, the Sheriff's officer. The plaintiff fre-
quently came to see him there, and they frequently passed
Selbv's house.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the defendant had
not rashly published of the plaintiff any unfounded imputa-
tion. The plaintiff was not so easily to be found as his
Counsel had described. Under these circumstances pro-
ceedings were commenced against him, but he was nowhere
to be found, and the attorney concerned against him, went
to the Times office with the advertisement which was the
subject of the present action. That hdvertisement was
prepared by Mr. Peacock, a very able pleader, then under
the bar, and was framed in such a manner that the learned
person had declared it not to be libellous.
Lord DENMAN summed up, and said that the advertise-
ment was, in his opinion, a libel.
The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict
for the defendant.

HITCHIN V. KING.

Mr. HUMFREY appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
THOMAS for the defendant. This was an action for a rnali-
cous presecution. The plaintiff had been in the service of
the defendant, who resides in Albemarle-street, and when
about to quit that service was charged by her mistress with
having stolen a silver spoon. On this charge the plaintiff
was taken before Mr. Dyer, by whom she was remanded
for two or three days, and when brought up again no fur•
ther evidence was given against her, and she was dis-
charged. The plaintiff then submitted to a nonsuit.
