GERMANY.
HAMBURGII, OCT. B.—The Nicholas I. steam-boat,
which left Cronstadt on the 2d at six o'clock in the morn-
ing, arrived yesterday morning, at half-past one o'clock, at
Travemunde, with 12 passengers, among whom are the
Baron Burante, and the English Cabinet messenger, Kaye.
But little has been done in the funds to-day.
AMSTERDAM, OCT. 1 I.—Conformably with Art. 97 of
the Fundamental Law, the Session of the States General
will be opened on Monday next, the 17th of October, by
his Majesty the King, with the usual ceremonies.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 10.—His Imperial Highness, the
Grand Duke Michael, will go to-morrow, as we hear, for a
few days to Amsterdam, and at the end of this week, or the
beginning of the next, will embark for London.
FRANKFORT, OCT. 7.—The garrison of Mayence in time
of war is fixed at 24,000 men. On the breaking out of
the July revolution it had been reduced to 6,000. It has
since been raised to 15,000. It has now, however, been
resolved that it shall be reduced to 8,000 men, and this re-
duction has already commenced. The Prussian troops are
now reduced to the proposed number. The troops in
Frankfort arc considered as detachments of the garrison of
Mayence.

BL RAREST, SEPT. 14.—According to accounts from
Galatia the reigning Prince of Moldavia was expected
there ; he intends to have great improvements made at that
place, which is of great importance to the commerce of the
Danube. The nomination of Colonel F. Balch, as Gover-
nor of that town, is a happy event for the merchants, who
congratulate themselves upon it.
Baron Ruckmann returned to this place three weeks
ago. The affairs of Moldavia seem to he finally adjusted.
LErpsfo, OCT. 2.—Our Catalogue of New Books for
*Michaelmas fair is larger than ever. It has 324 pages ;
.509 publishers announce 3,467 works, and 39 maps, as pub-
lished ; and 83G others as nearly ready, among which latter
is the edition of Sanconiathar, by Wagenfeld.—Journal de
Frankfurt, Oct. 10.

NORTHAMPTON, OCT. 12.—This morning we
were visited by a dreadful hurricane, which commenced
Aunt six o'clock, and continued till nine, levelling every
thing befre it, bay and corn-stacks, trees, cattle, &c. The
property of lsted, Esq., of Ecton, a little village be-
tween Weliingboroug►h and Northampton was considerably
damaged.

Yesterday evening, between five and six o'clock, a
gmtleman of the name of Simpson, accompanied by two
youths, one 15, the other 13 years of age, was rowing be-
tween Vauxhall and Battersea, in a small wherry, when he
came in contact with a barge moored on the river. As
soo❑ as the boat struck the two lads became alarmed,
jumped from their seats, and, overbalancing the boat, caused
it immediately to fill. Mr. Simpson, being fortunately a
very expert swimmer, soon caught hold of the eldest boy,
whom he placed in safety upon the barge, whilst he went
after the other ; but it was not till after a lapse of some mi-
nutes that he succeeded in reaching him, he having fortu-
.

nately caught hold of one of the sculls, by means of which
he was enabled to keep his head above water, and the tide
running very strong at the time, carried hire a considerable
distance. Mr. Simpson, though almost exhausted, succeeded
in reaching the barge with him in safety. In this unfortu-
nate predicament they were compelled to wait till a water-
man passing in his boat put them on shore, when they
made their way to the nearest coach-stand. Mr. Simpson's
coat and hat were lost, as well as the wherry, which was
said to be Mr. Simpson's own property.
Sunday evening last, Mr. James Kay, son of John
Hilton Kay, Esq., of Heywood Hall, put an end to his
existence by cutting his throat in his bed-room. He had
been in a low state of mind for some time ; and had only
that day returned from a journey with Mr. Goodlad, sur-
geon, of Bury. He was about 25 years of age.
Mr. E. FORREST.—(From the United States Ga-
zette.)—Early yesterday morning the avenue to the box-
office of the Chesnut-street theatre was crowded with ap-
plicants for seats, and before five o'clock, p.m., the whole
front of the theatre was filled with anxious expectants for
the opening of the doors. The house was soon filled, even
to the orchestra, the musicians having been banished by
the crowd to their old quarters behind the scenes. When
the scene was prepared for the entrance of Mr. Forrest as
Damon, the greeting commenced ; and when he presented
himself, the uprising of those who could rise, and the deaf-
ening shouts of all, showed how much esteemed was the
man and the actor. There were no rounds of huzzas and
clappings, but all joined in one long shout, until the hand
ached with applause, and the throat grew hoarse with wel-
come. Such a welcome never met an American actor—a
better one never was deserved.
The following case came before the Court of Con-
science at. Bath, last week :—A female vender of oysters
summoned a man for the value of seven score of oysters,
which he had devoured. The man resisted it, on the ground
that he had made a bargain with the woman, to pay her
half-a-crown for as many oysters as he could eat, and de-
clared that instead of seven score he could have ate seven
hundred ! The woman denied having made any bargain ;
she said the man asked her how many oysters would fill his
belly, she answered " half-a-crown's worth," but did not
undertake to fill his belly for any particular sum. The Court
decided that the woman had made out her case, and that
the man should pay the demand.

On Friday the Blucher coach, which runs between
Edinburgh and Melrose, was about two o'clock overturned
on the road, a little beyond the Gallows-hall toll-bar.
Luckily no one was materially injured, although the coach
went over with a dreadful crash, and all the outside pas-
sengers, together with a prodigious quantity of heavy lug-
gage, was precipitated promiscuously with great violence to
a considerable distance. As the coach lay on the ground,
one of the horses became restive, and the fate of the inside
passengers was inevitable, but for the admirable presence of
Mr. Macaulay, the sculptor, who, although unable to ex-
tricate himself in time, called to Mr. Barry, general agent,
then on his feet, to seize the horses by the reins, which he
(lid with great tact, and thus relieved them from their pe-
rilous situation.

LODGING IN PARIS AND NEW YORK.—ID
New York, the writer has a house with two drawing-rooms,
a dining-room, eight bed-rooms, dressing-rooms, four good
servants' rooms, with excellent cellars, cisterns, wells, baths,
water-closets, &c., for the same money that he had an
apartment in Paris, of one drawing-room, a cabinet, four
small and inferior bed-rooms, dining-room, and ante-cham-
bers, the kitchens, offices, cellars, &c., being altogether in
favour of the New York residence. In Paris water was
bought in addition, and a tax of 40 dollars a-year was paid
for inhabiting an apartment of a certain amount of rent—a
tax that was quite independent of the taxes on the house,
doors, and windows, which in both cases were paid by the
landlord.—C'ooper's France.
AN IMPROVISATORE.—Tommaso Sgricci, the
improvisatore poet, died a short time since at Flo-
rence, in the 38th year of his age. His talent was of the
most extraordinary kind, for it was not confined to mere
extemporaneous political effusions upon a given theme, but
extended to dramatic composition, one of the most arduous
walks of poetry, and apparently of insurmountable difficulty,
when not the dialogue alone, but the plot and characters are
all to be provided by impromptu. Sgricci recited many five-
act tragedies, among which may be mentioned his Bianco
Capello, and Morte di Carlo Primo, with which he asto-
nished his audiences in Paris in 1824. Some of these picas
were afterwards printed, having been taken down by a short-
hand writer during their recitation, and, when the peculiar
mode of their construction is considered, they astonish even
in that shape. Sgricci may fairly be allowed to have pos-
sessed the talent or other faculty of improvisatorship in a
much higher degree than the most eminent of his predeces-
sors, his subjects being such as not only required the usual
poetical estro, but a sustained flow of it, together with in-
conceivable readiness of conception and power of arranging
continued scenes and dialogues. Herein he eclipsed the
renowned Gorilla, Fantastici, Bandettini, Gianni, and
others, of whose extraordinary powers an interesting account

is given by Fernow in his. essay " Ueber die Improvisato-
xem."—Foreign Quarterly Review.

0 UR Friends, and all those who may have to write
to us, are requested to be particular in directing,
HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURG,
and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage
only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
101., 201., or 30/., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng-
land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in
two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham-
burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive
Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when-
ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England,
surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may
rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London.
To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our
Correspondents not to overlook these particulars.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1836.

We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of
Wednesday. An extraordinary sitting of the Repre-
sentative Council of Geneva was held on the 7th inst.
to deliberate upon the dispute between France and
Switzerland, when not a single voice was raised in
favour of submission to the demand of MONTEBELLO.
On the contrary it was unanimously voted by the
Council that the Deputies should be instructed to
inform the Diet that the Canton of Geneva, even
when she gave a negative vote on the decree of the
Diet of the 23d of August, did not the less consider
that such decree ought to be carried into effect, as
soon as it was adopted by a constitutional majority
of the States. The Deputies were likewise to represent
to the Diet the expediency of placing the Cantons in a
state of defence. We may here observe that the
Canton of Geneva is among the most aristocratical of
the Federal States. M. le SYNDIC RIEU, Pre-
sident, who addressed the Representative Council in
the name of the Council of State, animadverted in
severe terms upon the words of MONTEBELLO'S
note—" We appeal from Switzerland misled and en-

slaved, to Switzerland enlightened and free !" " These

are hard words for republican ears," observed the
President, repeating them a second time ; " they are
severe towards you, Gentlemen, and severe also to-
wards the people of Geneva, who know no other
liberty than that allied to order, who have no other
master than the law, and who have so lately given
more than one pledge of their wisdom. But these
words we will neither admit for ourselves nor for our
confederates. We only acknowledge and serve a
Switzerland truly free—a Switzerland which grants

no more than it can grant without humiliation, and
where, without doubt, the passions have sometimes
spoken ; but where they have kept silent, and always will
keep silent, as soon as a common danger menaces its soil."
The French journals contain various accounts of the
severity with which the French gendarmerie enforce a
non-intercourse along the entire frontier. Every per-
son, Swiss or foreigner, attempting to enter France
from the Cantons, is driven back by force. Even
women were not excepted. Hundreds of waggons,
laden with goods for the use of French merchants,
have been stopped at the Custom-offices, to the great
detriment of the frontier trade. The effects of the
system of non-intercourse already begin to be felt at
Lyons. The following extract from a leading public
journal of " the second city in France," will be found
to embrace the prevailing opinions of the principal
merchants upon the non-intercourse system :
" The commercial men of Lyons are beginning to be
seriously disquieted at the coercive measures adopted by
the French Government in order to punish Switzerland,
and revenge the honour of MM. de Montebello and Con-
seil. The Genevese merchants, who form a class apart
from our bankers and manufacturers, both rich and power-
ful, who have a voice in the Municipal Council, the
Chamber of Commerce, and the Bank, who have always
been devoted to the juste milieu and exclusively to the
Bourse—these men arc loud in their outcries, and find no
words severe enough to characterise the equally unjust as
unskilful conduct of our diplomacy. Our commercial re-
lations are compromised ; the diligences and waggons still
continue their intercourse, but with distrust. Travellers
who wish to go into Switzerland remain here, waiting for
the conclusion of the affair ; all the merchants and French
travellers hurry back, and fill the public vehicles. Our
merchants are afraid lest the Swiss, who derive from our
entrepots almost all the colonial productions which they
consume, should give their orders to Holland, and there is
no doubt that the German Princes on the right bank of the
Rhine, notwithstanding the blockade, would not prevent
the establishment of commercial relations which might be-
come so advantageous to themselves. We may conclude
from all this that France has played the part of the cat,
and taken the chesnuts out of the fire for the benefit of the
Hob' Alliance."
We have not the least doubt but that France will
soon manifest her disapprobation of the policy of the
Government, with respect to the Swiss question, in a
manner far from satisfactory to the present Cabinet.
The principle of centralization adopted by the French
executive necessarily weakens the power of the Go-
vernment towards the extremities. On all ordinary oc-
casions, to govern Paris is to govern France ; but this
principle does not hold good when certain local inte-
rests are forced, in self-defence, into opposition to the

tiovernment.
The French Ministerial Journals are silent respecting
the convocation of the Chambers. With all their
boasting, Ministers are in no hurry to meet the De-
puties. It is probable that the meeting of the Cham-
bers will not take place before the middle of Decem-
ber, unless the Swiss Diet adopt a system of repri-
sals, or otherwise menace France. In that case the

convocation of the Chambers cannot be delayed an

instant.
The Swiss military force is calculated at 202,000,
including federal contingents, cantonal reserves, and
troops serving in foreign countries, liable to be recalled
in the event of a war. In addition to this force, the
Government would readily obtain the support of all
the men between 40 and 60 years of age, who, though
exempted from military service, would cheerfully take
arms in defence of their liberties.
The Paris Papers contain some advices from Spain,
which, however, are of no importance. The follow-
ing extract respecting the navigation of the Danube is
deserving of attention :
" The brig the St. Joseph, which was freighted at Bole
for Galatz, having declined to submit to the customary
visits, and to pay the Russian tolls on entering the Danube,
was threatened to be fired upon. The brig was anchored
to the south of the last branch of the river at Kera Ker-
man, and the Turkish authorities, who considered her firman
insufficient, disputed her right to carry French colours.
Being threatened with annoyance from every quarter, and
being unable to hold any communication with the land, the
St. Joseph sailed for Anatolia, where her freighters will no
doubt take the necessary steps to obtain redress."—Courrier
Francais.
PARIS, OCT. 12.—Baron Rothschild had, this morning,
a conference with the Charge d'Affaires of Switzerland. It
is believed that the Baron was authorised to speak, on this
occasion, in conciliatory terms on the part of the Ministry
and Court of the Tuileries ; yet, in spite of all the in-
trigues, matters do not seem to take so pacific a turn as
might be wished. The people of Switzerland are animated
by a high feeling of honour and independence. The
question at present is to allay this fermentation, and to
free the Diet from all the influence of anarchy, which can-
not fail to injure credit, and revive the confidence of the
enemies of order. M. Rothschild and the Charge d'Af-
faires have drawn up various instructions for agents, who
were to set out for Switzerland in the course of the day.
After the conference, M. Rothschild waited on M. Mole,
and the Swiss Charge d'Affaires on Count Appony. An
approaching conference between the High Powers is also
talked of, which would exercise on Switzerland the influ-
ence which weighed on us during the first year of the re-
storation.—Journal du Commerce.
A letter from Milan, of 2d October, says—" The army
in this kingdom is augmented by 20,000 men, who will be
in the cantonments by the end of the month. Ten thou-
sand of them are to be on the line of the Po, including
Parma, Cremona, Mantua, &c., to Rovigo. A new park
of field artillery, with a regiment of Hulans, will be placed
at Rovera ; 6,000 or 7,000 more than at present on the
line of the Navarrese. Some new battalions will be be-
tween Sandro and the lakes, with two small batteries."—

Letters from Bayonne to the 9th inst. have been re-
ceived. They rep.resent the loss of the Carlists in the
engagement of the Ist inst. as very serious. The cou-
rage of the Legion is warmly applauded, but unfortu-
nately the French authorities are disposed to throw
every obstacle in the way of its success. Mo-
ney is still very scarce, and ME ND IZA BA L
has not succeeded in raising the supplies as
quickly as he expected. The Bayonne Cor-
respondent of our Contemporary, the Chronicle,
gives a somewhat ludicrous account of the tricks of the
Carlists to obtain soldiers at the expense of the QUEEN,
and likewise to foster a spirit of disaffection in the Le-
gion. We quote the passage for the information and
guidance of the QUEEN'S Agents in this country :
" While on this subject of desertion from the Legion, I
may as well mention a circumstance which has come to my
knowledge within the last few days, and which it is per-
haps fitting should be at once disclosed. I shall now only
allude to it in general terms, as in the course of a few days
I shall have to forward you some documents for publica-
tion, in which not only this matter, with every circumstan-
tial detail, will be stated, but several other not less im-
portant disclosures of Carlist manoeuvres detailed, by an
individual who, having been a prisoner in their camp
for many months, has just managed to escape. It ap-
pears that there is in London a Carlist agent, a fellow
of considerable shrewdness and ability, whose sole em-
ployment is to recruit both there and in the neighbouring
counties, deserters from the British Legion. This sounds
oddly, but still it is the fact. There has been scarcely a
vessel dispatched of late from England with recruits for
the Legion which did not contain a number of men
pledged to desert to the Carlists as soon as possible after
their arrival at St. Sebastian. Take the case of the
Glasgow steamer for instance. It was announced that
that vessel was carrying out 210 recruits for the Legion.
Out of that number there were 47, who having been
first enlisted by the Carlist agent in London (and from
him received a small bounty) were then enlisted by the
recruiting agent for the Legion, on the express under-
standing that they should go out to Spain as Christina's
soldiers, and, having arrived, pass over to Don Carlos's
camp, when it was stipulated they should receive 20 dollars
bounty, and in the event of their bringing over any of their
fellow-soldiers, an additional reward of ten dollars each
man. This, I repeat, is a system in full operation, and
so perfectly is it arranged, that each of the principal
outposts of the faction, in the vicinity of San Sebastian,
know exactly the names, ages, and description of every
man who is to desert, and on their, arrival, either together
or singly, they are ensured a warm reception and safe con-
duct. Thus is accounted for the desertion that has taken
place, and it is by means such as this that the character of
the Legion has been assailed. I mention the circumstance
thus generally for the present, though in full possession of
the names of the several Carlist agents engaged in the trans-
action, because I think no time ought to be lost in ap-
prising the Christino recruiting agents in London of the
deception hitherto practised on them, with the view of
their being henceforward more cautious as to whom they
receive. I should mention that I have had the informa-
tion I now give you forwarded to St. Sebastian, for the in-
struction of the General.

We have received a file of Quebec papers to the
24th ult. inclusive. Their contents are uninteresting,
with the exception of the speech of Lord GOSPORD,
his Majesty's Chief Commissioner, upon opening the
third Session of the fifteenth Provincial Parliament of
Lower Canada on the 22d ult. It will be seen by the
following extract from this document the only pas-
sage it contains of general interest—that it has been
framed with a view to reconcile, if possible, the two
great parties whose contentions have proved so detri-
mental to the repose of the colonists :

In compliance with the injunctions of his Majesty, I

have again to recommend to your attention the estimates
for the current year, and also 'the accounts, showing the
arrears due in respect to the civil government, which were
laid before you during the last session. The King has ob-
served, that you were induced in that session to grant sup-
plies only for six months, and to prefer the complaints con-
tained in your address apparently in consequence of the pub-
lication of a few detached passages from the instructions to
which I have alluded, and of inferences drawn from them
which a knowledge of their entire contents must be expected
to remove. His Majesty thinks it, therefore, but just that
you should not be held to be committed to a course adopted
under a misconception, and should have an opportunity of
reconsidering your conclusions, with the full information as
to the views and intentions of his Government which you
will derive from the perusal of the whole of the documents
to be laid before you ; and he trusts, upon your becoming
acquainted with their general tenor and spirit, you will
accede to the application which I made to you at the com-
mencement of the last session, and which I am commanded
now to renew, for payment of the arrears due on account
of the public service, and for the funds necessary to carry
on the civil government of the province.
" That the business of Government cannot be carried
on successfully whilst the salaries of the public ser-
vants remain unpaid, is too obvious, I hope, to leave
room for a suspicion on the mind of any one that, in making
this renewed demand for the liquidation of these just claims,
either his Majesty's Ministers in England, or I, who bear
his delegated authority in this province, can have any object
in view separate from the public good."
M. PAPINEAU and his supporters are in no mood
to pay much regard to these recommendations of the
British Government. Lord GOSFORD thus speaks of
his own conduct as his MAJESTY'S representative :

" From the day I entered on my arduous duties, I have
to the very utmost of my ability, acted up to the princi-
ples I professed ; nor have I ever ceased to remember that
the two first objects of my Government were the removal
of abuses, and the reconcilement of opposing parties. By
caution, by forbearance, and by the exercise of what I be-
lieve to be a liberal policy, I have sought to promote the
welfare of the country, and to gain your confidence. If I

succeed in this latter object, I-shall rejoice at it, princi-
pally because it will afford me the means of doing the
greater good ; and if I fail of success, I shall always be
consoled by the consciousness of having laboured earnestly
to deserve it."

At the Court of Common Council yesterday, the
resolution passed on the 15th of September last, for
adjourning the report of the Committee of the whole
Court, " till the report of the Commissioners of IVluni-

cipal Inquiry on the Corporation of London shall have
been obtained," was rescinded, on the motion of Mr.
CHARLES PEARSON, by a majority of 24. We are
glad of this result, for the original resolution had
obviously no other aim, than to throw obstacles in the
way of Municipal Reform, under the specious pretext
of proceeding with all due caution. The very eager-
ness of the City Tories to stifle, or at ally rate, to pro-
tract this reform, to the latest possible period, is a
proof of its imperative necessity; for if there were
not " something rotten in the state of Denmark,"
they would not be so zealous in their endeavours to
put a check to all discussion on the subject. The
summary rescinding of their resolution yesterday will,
we trust, have the effect of teaching them a lesson of
wholesome discretion. Manoeuvre as they may—and
we are far from undetrating their innate genius for
intrigue—they cannot stop the progress of Corporation
Reform. They had far better, therefore, sail with the
stream, instead of attempting to make head against the
current.

A letter of the 29th ult., from Prague, states that
Charles X. was about to proceed to Linz from Kirchburg,
and that he will return next year to Bohemia.
A new kind of robbery was committed a fess nights
since on the diligence which passes between Paris and
Rouen. When it arrived at Pontoise, a passenger on the
imperiale got down, but did not again make his appear-
ance. The conductor could not wait for him, and did not
discover the end of the matter until, on unloading the dili-
gence, he discovered that a bag containing two thousand
francs had disappeared. It is supposed that the thief had
thrown it from the coach a short distance before it stopped,
and that he afterwards picked it up and made off. He has
not been caught.—French Paper.

LIVING IN FRANCE AND AMERICA.—Food of
all kinds is much the cheapest with us, bread alone ex-
cepted. Wine can be had as a whole better and cheaper in
New York, if obtained from the wine merchant, than in
any European town we. have yet inhabited. Even French
wines can be had as cheap as they can be bought here, for
the entrance money into the country is actually much less
than the charges at the gates of Paris. The transportation
from Bourdeaux of Champagne or Burgundy is not, as a
whole, essentially less than that to New York, if indeed it
be any less. All the minor articles of table luxuries, unless
they happen to be of French growth or French fabrication,
are unmeasurably cheaper in America than here. Clothes
are nominally much cheaper here than with us ; but neither
the French nor the English use habitually as good clothes
as we, nor are their clothes, generally, as well made.—
Cooper's France.

A young lady, under twenty years of age, eloped
from her governess at Brighton, on Wednesday last, and it
is supposed has taken the road for Gretna Green. Her
companion is suspected to be the son of an apothecary, a
young man, not twenty years of age, who had been con-
stant in his attentions to her. The lady, when of age, will
have a fortune of at least 6,0001. per annum.
A boy about 14 years of age, the son of the land-
lord of the White Hart public house, in Millbank-street,
accidentally fell into the river yesterday morning, whilst
playing on some coal barges, and in falling he caught hold
of a schoolfellow about the same age, named Fowler,
whom he pulled into the water, and both were drowned.
CANINE ATTACHMENT.—About six months since•
a funeral took place at Clerkenwell Church, when a small
black terrier dog, who had been long attached to his de-
ceased master, was found pressing through the surrounding
mourners while the funeral service was performing in the
church. After the burial it was found impossible to drive
it away altogether, for it always took the first opportunity
of obtaining ingress, and has now become regularly domi-
ciled under the protection of the sexton.

SIR J. M. DOYLE AND COL. SAAVEDRA.—An
article which appeared in the Revista, reflecting upon the
conduct of the British officers engaged in the service of
Portugal, has excited some interest at Lisbon. The author
of the article was Colonel Saavedra ; and Sir J. Doyle
and some of his brother officers taking fire at the affront,
the former sent to the Colonel to demand an apology.
An apology was refused, an appeal to arms was also refused,
upon which the Colonel was told to consider himself
horsewhipped, but the Colonel not considering any such
thing, stuck to his first determination, and so the affair has
ended in—nothing.
On Wednesday, the sth instant, a match came off
between the Earl Kilmorev, Mr. Clive, of Stych Hall, and
Mr. Broughton, of Tunstall Hall, for 50 sovereigns a side,
on his Lordship's estate, at Broomhall, near Nantwich, to
bag 30 brace of partridges in twelve hours, to be walked up
to without the aid of pointers. His Lordship accomplished
the extraordinary tusk of bagging 301 brace from half-past
six in the morning to half-past five in the evening, with
comparative ease, besides several brace which were killed,
but not found.—Salopian Journal.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)

JAn Finn was indicted for stealing a pewter pot, value
Is. 4d., the property of Mr. Bowman, of the Red Lion pub-
lic-house.

There were three other indictments against the prisoner,
charging him with similar offences, to all of which the pri-
soner pleaded—Guilty.
The Learned CHAIRMAN sentenced him to three months'
imprisonment in the House of Correction.
Joseph Storey was indicted for stealing 3lbs. of sheet cop-
per, the property of William Cordwent. The prisoner pleaded
gully, and was sentenced to seven years' transportation.
John Harris, 20, was indicted for stealing a jacket, trowsers,
and a pair of boots, the property of Felgate William Dennis.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to one
month's imprisonment.
Anne Wilson, 17, who was indicted for stealing a gown and
other articles, value 55., the property of Eliza Day, also
pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to one month's imprisonment.
John Juman, 15, was indicted for stealing a watch, value
65., the property of John Juman, sen.

The irisciner, who has been frequently before the Court,
pleaded guilty.
The CHAIRMAN—I siderstand, my lad, you wish to be
transported? Prisoner—Yes, Sir, if you please.
CHAIRMAN—We cannot comply with your request, although
I fear you arc irreclaimable. The sentence of the Court is,
that you be imprisoned two months and twice whipped.
Anne Middlebrooke, 20, was indicted for unlawfully con-
cealing the birth of a female child, of which she had been de-
livered on the Bth Sept. last.
Sarah Cowten, a milliner, deposed, that the defendant was
in the employment of Mrs. Jones, of Regent-circus, as a ser-
vant of all work. Witness was apprised by Mrs. ones that
defendant was with child about a week before the child was
discovered. The defendant stated, after the child was found,
that she had provided some clothes for the baby, and intended
to purchase others.

Sarah Gunning, a fellow servant, deposed to the finding of
the child wrapped up in a blanket early on the morning of the
Bth of September. It was lying in a back kitchen, which was
dark, but through which the people of the house frequently
passed.
Mr. French, a medical man, who was called in the follow-
ing day, deposed that there were marks of injury on the child's
head. There was a fracture of the parietal bone, and extra-
vasation of blood on the brain. It was very difficult to say
whether these injuries occurred before or after the death of the
child, or were the result of accident during delivery, or of
actual violence.

Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the Jury for the defendant, and
the Learned Chairman having summed up the evidence, and
pointed out the provisions of the Act,
The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
Shortly after the above case had commenced, Mr. Flood, a
young man who was during the Session of 1835 committed to
the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms, for throwing papers
from the gallery of the House of Commons into the body of
the House, addressed the bench. His object was to complain
of the conduct of the Clerk of the Indictments, who had re-
fused to lay before the Grand Jury a bill of indictment for
conspiracy, which he (Mr. Flood) had prepared.
The Clerk explained that the offence was not an indicta-
ble one.

Mr. Flood maintained that it was. He had been obstructed
in a similar way when he attempted to bring the case before
the Judges at the Old Bailey. The object evidently was to
screen the Ministers of the Crown, who were implicated. He
was, however, determined to have justice, if not in the infe-
rior, at least in the higher courts. Mr. Justice Bosanquet's
opinion was in his favour, and the indictment had been pre-
pared according to Chitty's instructions.
The CHAIRMAN regretted that he could not assist the
applicant.

Nir. PRENDERGAST, the Barrister, requested to see the in-
dictment, and he would give him his opinion upon it.
Mr. Flood would not give up his opinion to that of any man.
He hoped the Westminster Magistrates were not leagued with
the Whigs against him.

The indictment was then handed to Mr. Prendergast. It
charged Viscount Melbourne, Lord Morpeth, Lord Hather
ton, Mr. Spring Rice, and others, with conspiring to slander
him, and with having employed persons to insult, waylay, and
assault him, and a variety of other matters. Mr. Prendergast
having assured Mr. Flood that the indictment could not be
sustained, the latter expressed his determination to apply to
the Court of King's Bench by mandamus, and was subse-
quently induced by Mr. Lee, the High Constable of West-
minster, to withdraw.

The Lord Mayor of London was sworn in a Magistrate of
the City and Liberties of Westminster.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

(THIS DAY.)

HA 7'T 0 GARDEN.
Thomas Gee, a soldier, was charged before Mr. ROGERS,
by Carter, policeman 78, with being drunk, and incapable of
taking care of himself; and Kitty M. Carthy, a notorious
prostitute, who for one infests that sink of iniquity St. Giles's,
was charged by M'Gee with stealing his watch, bat, an'd
pocket handkerchief.

M‘Gee stated that yesterday evening he was accosted by
the female prisoner in St. Giles's, who asked him to treat her,
which he did several times, but, after being in her company a
short time, he became quite stupefied in consequence, he said,
of some drug having been mixed with the liquor, which made
him almost insensible, during which time he missed the pro-
perty mentioned. The watch had not been found, but the hat
and handkerchief were found on the prisoner.
The policeman stated, that seeing M'Gee in a state of in-
toxication, and the female prisoner leaning over him, he ques-
tioned her as to who M'Gee was, when she said that he was
her husband; and suspecting all was not right he conducted
them both to the station-house, when M'Gee accused the
female of robbing him.
The prisoner, to account for the possession of the lost hat,
said she supposed she picked it up.
Mr. ROGERC remanded her until next Wednesday, to allow
the policeman to trace the watch.
