Extract of a letter from Pernambuco, dated Sept. 17 :
—" A revolt among the troops broke out here two dayn
ago, and they completely pillaged the town. The loss
sustained must be immense. All business is at a stand."

We regret to hear that the banks of Messrs.
ScHown.n, CLARKSON, and Co., at Selby and Flowden,
in this county, have suspended p iyrnent. We are informed
that one of the partners, Mr. CLARK,ON, has met with
heavy losses in corn speculations.—Leeds Intelligencer.

Mr. Serjeant PELL has been appointed one
of the Judges under the new BAnkruptcy Bill. It is 'e-
ported that Mr. PANE, brother of Mr. ARIUTTEINOT, has
also been appointed.

We are sorry to hear that some anxiety is
entertained in certain quarters for the safety of Sir
CHARLES WETHERELL at Bristol. We sincerely trust no
injury will be done to the Learned Gentleman. He is
now the only specimen of the real old Tory breed, un-
mixed with a cross, remaining, and, as a Zoological cu-
riosity, is invaltuble.

THE LIVES OF THE MOST CELEBRATED
FEMALE SOVEREIGNS.-This new work, by the clever
Authoress of the " Diary of an Ennuye," contains a body
of entertaining anecdotes (many of them now first given
to the public), and interesting details of all the important
occurrences in the, reigns of the most celebrated Queens
of ancient or madern times. The Literary Gazette ob-
serves " a work equally agreeable to liltl or young could
hardly be produced. We most heartily recommend it to
our readers."

LORD FITZROY SOMERSET.—IfI answer to
a question put by Mr. JosErtl HuME, during the
late Ministry, upon the facility of General Officsrs getting
regiments at any early period, one of the connections of
the SomErtsvz family, or Sir HENRY HAROINGE, stated,
that surely the Hon. Gentleman could not object to old
General Officers obtaining regiments at sixty-six years of
age, after a long period of expectation, at their advanced
time of life." Scarcely a fortnight had elapsed after this
reply, when Lord FITZROY SOMERSET, then the youngest
Major-General in the army, and only forty-three years of
age, bei®g Military Secretary at the Horse Guards, helped
himself to the 53d Regiment of Foot, in the same Gazette
that gave Lord HILL the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards.
This single member of the SOMERSET family has three
distinct salaries from Government. The regiment already
'Hurled to, which is from 1,000/. to 1,200/. per annum,
his salary as Military Secretary at the Horse Guards
about 2,0001. per annum, 5001. per annum as a pension
for wounds, and I believe I may further add, one guinea
per day for special services in the Peninsula.—(Correspon-
dent of the Chronicle.)

quarantine, are now in Dover harbour.—Kent Herald.
THE TRIUMPHAL ARCH AT HYDE PARK.
—This very beautiful structure, which has been lately
completed, has been given up, by the Commissioners of
Woods and Forests, to the Commi,•sioners of the 'Metropo-
litan Police, for the purpose of being converted into a
police-barracks or station-house. There are some lirge
and very handsome rooms in the building, and it is capable
of containing, with perfect convenience, 200 men. A
serjeant's party, consisting of twenty men, has already
taken possession of the left wing of the archway, and that
number of men, at least, will be always on duty there as
a guard of reserve, in the event of any future attack upon
Apsley House. We are informed that the late disturbances
at Hyde Park-corner have occasioned this arrangement.

The Monthly Commentary on Men and
Things, usually given in the New Monthly Magazine,
will, in future, we are informed, discuss a much greater
variety of subjects than formerly. Among many others
in the Number for November will appear, Journalism—
The People's Secret—The Actress Countesses—The Cho-
lera in the Gazette—Low Prices—Too Good for a Bishop
—New Levy of Irish Cavalry—Servants' Advertisements
—The Reformer's Hymn—Lionisin in London—The
Bugbears of the Month—The Olympic Games—The
Dorset Election—The Bench of Bishops, &c. &c. Several
of the new and distinguished writers will contribute towards
this department of the Journal.

The Noble Marquis to whose pen the author-
ship of the caustic tale of " Sydenbani" was confidently
attributed, we understand, has been lately excessively in-
dustrious in disclaiming the honour. We suppose this
anxiety is in consequence of the singular expectations en-
tertained in reference to the newly-announced tale of
" Alice Paulet," by the same Author, which it is sup-
posed will unveil certain family secrets connected with
proceedings which (however necessary and laudable in in-
tention) might subject him to a few inconvenient questions.

THE MANAGER'S LAST KICK.— The
Cheltenham theatricals, always in a declining state, have
at length received their death-blow. For a considerable
time past the receipts have bee❑ so small, that the ma-
nager thought it useless to divide them, and very pru-
dently placed all in his pocket. On Thursday last, Mi.
HAY (the Liszort of the company) took his benefit, and
there must have been at least 201. in the house. With this
sum the manager decamped, so that when the performance
closed, Mr. HAY discovered he had realized a .loss." Pur-
suit was instantly commenced, and the manager captured
two or three miles from the town. The culprit was placed
for the night in the custody of two of the performers,
from whom he contrived to escape. A second chase took
place ; but the fugitive made good his retreat in the neigh-
bourhood of Fitville, and has not since been heard of. It
is proposed to as•ist the unlucky performers, by opening
the theatre by subscription for six nights ; in addition to
which, Lord SEAGRAVE has bespoken a performance for
Monday night.

In addition to the incendiary fire at Barkston,
near Grantham, which we noticed in our last Paper, we
have to record another calamity of the kind in that neigh-
bourhood. The premises of Mr. Wm. WI2iTER, of Fos-
ton, were, on Saturday night last, discovered to be on
fire ; and had not the flames been discovered instantly after
they broke out, his whole stack;yard must have fallen a
prey to the devouring element. Fortunately, both build-
ings and stock were insured, and the loss sustained has
been already paid by the County fire-office. Large reward
are offered for the discovery of the incendiary.—Stamford
Mercury.

Monday, a funeral from the neighbourhood of
Grimshaw-park took place at St. Paul's church, and se-
veral of the individuals attending were observed to be in a
state of intoxication. The service being concluded, the
church was locked up as usual, and about nine o'clock an
alarm wls created in the neighbourhood, in consequence
of a bawling noise heard within the church. The clerk
was sent for, when it was discovered that a female, who
had tasted too freely of the juice of the vine, had fallen
asleep during the service, and had been looked up in the
church for several hours.—Blackburn Gazette.

Reports Were extensively circulated in Dublin
on Tuesday, which created alarm in the minds of mall
that two eases of Russian or spasmodic cholera had, within
the last two days, occurred in this city. We are happy to
have it in our power to remove all apprehension on the
subject. We have been assured by an eminent medical
practitioner, who was in attendance in one of the cases,
that it was the mere ordinary species of cholera that is met
with eve' y year; and as to the other ease said to have oc-
curred, we have equal authority to assure the public that
the rumour was quite groundless, and that all apprehen-
sion may be dismissed upon the subject, so far as these ru-
mours are concerned..—Dub/in Freeman's Journal.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE,

A young man, named John Morgan, the h►is-
band of a girl who was said to be respectable, but
whom adversity had driven into the condition of
•cevant in a family, was charged by his wife with
having assaulted her mother.
The complainant's statement was as follows:
S e had a few years ago married the defendant,
who, from the commencement of their acquaintance,
regarded every one who spoke to her with extreme
jealousy, and made her life one unvaried scene of
misery. She would have made every effort, how-
ever, to reconcile herself to the opinion which he
did not hesitate to avow of her fidelity, if he did not
follow up his suspicions with threats and blows,
,ifid sometimes even with attempts upon her life.
Unable to bear such harsh treatment, she had gone
into service in a very respectable family, by which
she was kindly treated, but he constantly annoyed her,
even when she was living wholly independent of him.
At la,t,after having persecuted her in the many ingeni-
ous ways which the green-eyed monster is ever pointing
out to his votaries, he followed her to her mother's
house, and, se'zing her by the hair, dragged her to-
w•ards the bed, as if, according to the evidence of a
,vitness, " to slip the wind out of her with a pillow."
tier mother, however, not fancying the spectacle of
her daughter dying the death of a DeBdernona, inter-
posed,and effectually prevented such a catastrophe;
but the poor old woman received such a douce in the
chops at the same moment, that her memory of all
previOtiS transactions was impaired.
The LORD MAYOR said that he regretted to be
obliged to be an arbitrator in eases of this kind, but
he must say that in the great majority of instances
the husband gave cause of jealousy, not the wife,
The complainant said that her h►tsb.nd had no
cause whatever to be jealous efiser,but she believed
that, the more free from stain a woman was, the
more desperate would be his suspicion of her virtue.
Defendant—Tut, tut I you know I have cause,
and good substantial cause. Recollect the bonnet !
the bonnet ! Oh, woman, woman ; recollect the
bonnet !

Complainant—Well, what of the bonnet ? YO9
know I never permitted any man to take liberties
.with me. Defendant (with a hysterical laugh)—
Liberties 1 Oh, no, kissing is no liberty; bat, of
all things, kissing with a Captain is no liberty.—(A
laugh.) As I live, my Lord, I saw loins kissing her.
Complainant—Never I. I never kissed him. He
is altogether mistaken, my Lord. He supposes that
if a gentleman speaks a civil word to me I hare
been guilty of a crime.

you,
woman,l do
accusen't
why did you write that letter? I suppose you will
say you know nothing about it ?
Here the defendant produced several fragments of
a letter, some parts of which lie had picked up out
of a corner of his wife's mother's room, mid other
parts out of the dust-hole.
The complainant did not deny that the writing
was her's, but declared it was a letter merely 01
gratitude, and not of a more intense feeling.
Defendant—Wasn't she grateful, my Lord ?
(Laughter.) In her gratitude she not only kissed
him, and I saw him at it, but she called him
her dearest fellow in this letter, and actually tlirGws
herself into his arms ? Do you call that nothing ?
(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—Da still you must not at-
tack her in the brutal manner described.
Defendant—Listen to this letter.—He the read
the letter, vvhicti certainly was caictiiated, especially
'viten combined with the kissing, to raise a husband's
blood. The Captain was addressed by her in the
most familiar manner, and she described a new bon-
net which she was about to put oa, and with which
he should he the first person to see her features
shaded. The epistle concluded with the expression
of an impatient desire to see the dear person to whom
it was addressed.

The complainant most solemnly asserted that she
never sent the letter, although she had written it,
and that she never wrote it with any bad intention.
The LORD MAYOR told her that she was applying•
d bad remedy to her husband's disea,e, and advised
her to give up the Captain at any rare.
She said that her husband had once cat her across
the neck with a knife, and that she knew he would,
some time or other, destroy her, if not bound down
by some strong obligation.

The LORD MAYOR ordered the defendant to find
bail in the sum of 501.

LORD ELDON'S JUDICIAL CHARACTER,

His knowledge of common law is but limited;
and even his understanding of equity far from sys-
tematic, prompt, arid masterly. His mode of rea-
soning no one was ever yet found so hardy, or so
greedy of ridicule, as to attempt to vindicate—or
to deny that, when he bad pronounced judgment,
the powers of confusion and obscuration could go
no further. His Lordship's idiom of abjudieation
was (for it will, on individual collation of a selec-
tion from his judgments, be found that he had an
idiom) to commence by leading forth, with ludicrous
solemnity, a train of truisms, or at least of each pro-
positions—some of them, however, not enjoying the
merit even of relevancy—as form the stock of half
year's noviciate; from this he proceeded to declare
the difficulty and distress which the necessity of
decision had caused him, then he rambled about
among the previous cases similar to that to be ad-
judicated, but not, as in the end it would appear,
for the sake of any light which they might yield, but
of the darkness, and to assist him in justifying ano-
ther of his judicial failings (proceeding from the
same source as his indecision, timidity), that of de-
clining at all times, a general judgment; then, in
pursuance of the same purpose, he fastened on some
lateral, and almost alien, and, at any rate, insiEni-
ficant peculiarity in the ease, and professed to decide
in reference to that only ; taking pains to leave it
understood, that, in what he had done, he bad not
intended to contravene fernier determinations. lie
would take into his bands the previous eases,
chafe and strike them together until he bad eva-
porated clouds, and evolved smoke enough to fill
with darkness the atmosphere of the present case;
then complain of the darkness, their pretend to see,
and be delighted with the sight of a farthing candle
glimmering at a distant, and then profess to have
extricated himself by the aid of the farthing candle,
without intending, however, the least disrespect to
the sue. From this his Lordship would proceed to
renew his protestations about the difficulty of deci-
sion, and the distress of mind which the necessity
for it bad coat him ; then to expatiate on that
infirmity of his, his it:decision, and habits of procras-
tination, for which he has been always so justly re-
proached by- the public; season all this wnh sonie
of those tears in which he had at all times a vested
interest, and conclude with deprecating all confidence
in his decision, and an earnest invitation to the party
to whom his judgment was unfavourable to appeal
to the House of Lords or in fact to himself again I
