A house at Liege was set on fire last week by a
cat. Some armourers, when they went to breakfast, left a
candle burning, which the animal ran away with into a loft
filled with hay and corn. The hay soon caught fire, and
the whole, with the roof of the house, was destroyed.
It is rumoured that more than one vacancy is likely
to take place in Westminster Flail, previous to the Spring
Circuit.

DOVER.-THURSDAY.

TRIUMPH OF LIBERALISM.
The recent unforeseen result of the election for Town
Councillors in this borough, inspired the ever hungry and
devouring Tories with a hope that an invasion of the rights
of the people could be easily accomplished, by securing the
return of thirty-five of the " right sort" as Commissioners
of Pavement. Elated with the cheering idea of having a
Tory Mayor—Tory Aldermen—Tory Town Clerk—Tory
Town Crier, and all the other underlings formerly attached
to the defunct Corporation, the " intellectual" party (as
now designated) resorted to every device and stratagem in
a fruitless attempt to foist upon the rate-payers men, some
of whom are almost unknown in the town—others who are
better known than trusted, and many so well known as to
be wholly obnoxious. The drunken orgies of those Church
and State men, as well as the pot-house, inflammatory pla-
cards which were so numerously circulated, might have had
the effect of creating a species of revolution in this place,
wore it not for the good sense and sound discretion of the
Liberal party, who, knowing its own strength (in the ab-
sence of bribery, intimidation, and undue influence), relied
upon a successful issue. The thirty-five Liberal candidates
have been returned by a majority of 180.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are the Dutch mail and ship
letters from Canton and Bombay : and from the Cape of
Good Hope of the 10th of November.
A French mail has also arrived with the express from
Paris. It states that notwithstanding the American Ques-
tion was deemed in a fair way of arrangement, Admiral
Mackau is to leave Paris for Brest in a few days to proceed
to the West Indies, to act as circumstances should require.
French prices—Five per Cents, 109 f. 15c.; Three per
Cents., 81f. 30c.; Spanish Active, 494 ; Passive, 16k.
The Cape of Good Hope Papers received at the North
and South American Coffee House have the following :
" CAPE TOWN, Nov. 7.—By the latest intelligence re-
ceived from the frontier, we are gratified to learn that the
general tranquillity has not been disturbed in any direction.
The danger from without is past, and now the sufferings of
the Colonists in that quarter will receive the undivided
attention of Government and their friends."
" AFFAIRS OF THE FRONTIERS.—On Tuesday last his
Excellency the Governor quitted Graham's-town to return
to the Cape, from whence he has been absent 9 months.
No one ever filled so large a space in the esteem and
affections of the Community as our present Governor.
Many of the inhabitants of Graham's Town were anxious
to mark their respect for his Excellency, by escorting him
a part of the distance on his route ; but they were pre-
vented from having this gratification, in consequence of the
silence with which his preparations for departure were con-
ducted. We are glad to say that the frontier continues
comparatively tranquil. One or two instances of robbery
have been committed, and two of the plunderers were a
few days ago shot ; but in general our farmers have been
unmolested. Still our affairs are by no means in a tran-
quil state.; nor is it in human nature to sit down contented
with absolute ruin staring you in the face, while the dis-
turbers of your peace, and plunderers of your property, are
protected in the enjoyment of their ill-gotten booty ; but
still we would entreat our fellow-colonists to bear their
privations with temper and fortitude. They may be as-
sured the British Government will do them ample justice?'
The New York Price Current of the 23d of December
states, that contracts have been made for the immediate
re-building of many of the stores destroyed by the late fire,
and the works upon the foundations are already begun ; and
before the arrival of the Spring, business will commence,
and the merchants will be again located, and ready to serve
their customers.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

The cases at the various Police-offices yesterday possessed
no interest. At Lambeth-street Mary Williams, an ac-
count of whom appeared in The Sun of Tuesday
week, and for whom much sympathy had been excited, was
proved to be a complete imposter, and sentenced to two
months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of
Correction for obtaining charity under false and fraudulent
pretences.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1836

more than six months ; to him a day was eternity. The
Court would bear in mind the damages, and his solemnde-
claration of innocence, and would not, he was sure, appor-
tion the term prayed for by his Learned Friend.
The Learned Chief Commissioner, after a short con-
sultation with his Learned colleagues, Commissioners
Harris and Bowen, said that, in consequence of some in-
formalities in the insertion of an advertisement, the Court
could not this day arrive at a final judgment. If the in-
solvent were guilty, he hoped he would show that contrition
to which had often exhorted others—if innocent, that his
innocence would be his support in his adversity. The
Learned Commissioners ordered the case to stand adjourned.
The case then stood adjourned. The insolvent cannot
again appear for upwards of three weeks.

PLYMOUTH.-WEDNESDAY.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
DARING SMUGGLERS.—Tuesday night, between the hours
of ten and eleven o'clock, three men belonging to the Pre-
ventive station, under the command of Lieutenant Pen-
nington, discovered about eighteen or twenty smugglers,
conveying sixty-five tubs of contraband spirits in two carts,
drawn by three horses—they were then crossing the public
road, about three miles from Plymouth. On the Pre-
ventive men endeavouring to seize the carts, a desperate
engagement ensued between them and the smugglers, the
latter being armed with bludgeons ; the three men fired
twelve rounds of ball amongst the smugglers, and then
fought with their swords. The smugglers would not give
up the carts, but made a desperate attack on the Pre-
ventive men, who, however, after some time, obliged them
to decamp, leaving the carts behind them. One of the
smugglers was run through the back with a sword, and
several of them are supposed to have had their fingers cut
off in their attempt to ward off the swords of the Preventive
men. These swords were found to-day to be all over stained
with blood ; so that the smugglers must have been severely
wounded. How they escaped alive, after so many rounds
of ball was fired into them, appears remarkable. None of
them have as yet been apprehended, but are expected to be
in a day or two.

WORSHIP- S TREE T.

A LIBEL ON. JACK KETCH'S DEPUTY BY JACK KETCH.
—An application was made on the part of the deputy Jack
Ketch for a warrant against Calcraft, the senior occupant of
that office.
On the applicant placing himself in the witness box to
state his case, and when asked by Mr. Grove his name
and occupation, he stated he was deputy executioner.
Mr. GraovE wished for a more definite explanation.
Applicant—Your Honour, I officiates the last penalty
of the law upon his Majesty's!subjects. I applies for awarrant
against Mr. Calcraft, who holds the office of Jack Ketch.
Mr. GROVE—Has he committed any assault upon you,
or does he put you in fear of your life ? Applicant—He has
committed a libel on my character.
Mr. Gaevu--You must then apply to the Court of
King's Bench, and bring an action against him.
'lle applicant's wife here stated that Mr. Calcraft ac-
cused her husband of having murdered his first wife, and
that wherever they met him he constantly charged them
with that act.
Mr. GROVE said he could not afford them any redress.
The applicant observed that it was a great hardship,
and he would spend his last shilling to maintain his cha-
racter, though times were very bad with him.
Mr. GROVE remarked that there were no executions now.
Applicant--Trade, Sir, never was so bad.

HUNGERFORD-MARKET.

A general meeting of the Hungerford-market Company
was held yesterday at the Office of the Company, Villiers-
street, Strand. In the absence of Earl Devon, Martin
Stuteley, Esq., was called to the Chair.
The Report of the Directors, read to the meeting, pre-
sented a very favourable view of the affairs of too Com-
pany, every source of revenue having materially increased
during the last half-year. The Report also stated that an
arrangement had been made with the projectors of the
Hungerford and Lambeth Suspension Foot Bridge, mu-
tually advantageous to both Companies and to the public ;
and that the erection of a suspension bridge on the pro-
posed spot, held out prospects of great benefit to the Hun-
gerford-market Company. From the statement of ac-
counts laid before the meeting, it appeared there was a
surplus revenue applicable to the purposes of a dividend ;
but after a discussion of some length, it was determined by
the Proprietors to postpone the declaration of a dividend
for the present.

Thanks were unanitnously voted to the Chairman and the
Court of Directors ; and, the meeting, which was very nu-
merously attended, separated, highly gratified with the im-
proved prospects of the undertaking.

MEMORIALS OF MRS. HF.MANS.—The public
will learn with great pleasure that a work under this title
has lately made its appearance, edited by Mr. Henry F.
Charley. This lamented child 4IST genius is here repre-
sented as unconsciously exhibiting a rich combination of
mind and heart, in the free spirit of unreserved epistolary
converse with the most eminent literati of her day. The
editor has moreover adorned these Memorials with highly
interesting reminiscences of his departed friend, whose life
and character an almost daily intercourse afforded him such
constant opportunities of studying. He has availed himself
of these advantages in a manner which reflects considerable
credit upon his taste and judgment.
M. Dedel, the Dutch Ambassador ; Redscbid Bey,

tuguese Ministers, and the Marge d'Affaires frcm_Spain,

again," is an interesting talc, with a pleasing moral
attached to it. We should inform the author how-
ever that school boys are not in the habit of drowning
cacti ct.ber, even though the one may he the other's
" fag." Is:cithar are Can-1116dg men apt to have rat-
hunts in their rooms; notwithstanding that they can
sport their doors, and bribe the college gyp to silence.
" The World we Live in" is lively and anecdotical,
but, like eternity, has neither beginning nor end.
" Lines on Napoleon," by Mr. Simmons, are very
stately and musical in the flow of their verse,
nor less
imposing in their sentiments. The sketch of Madame
Mere's Mere's chamber, which is hung round with portri.qts
of her illustrious family of Kings and Queens, con-
tains one striking idea, which. we mark •in italics:—
" Her daughters there—the beautiful—looked down in dazzling
sheen ;
One lovelier than the queen of love—one crowned an earthlY
queen !
Her sons—the proud—the Paladins ! with diadem and plutnle;,
Each bearing on his sceptred arm, made empire of that roost`
Still more striking is the brief description of Na-
poleon. The last line in particular is quite Miltonie
in the grandeur of its thought
" How gleamed that awful countenance, magnificently stern,
In its dark smile and smiting look, what destiny we learn
The laurel simply wreathes that brow, while nations %I a tell
its nod,
As though he scoffed all pomp below the thunderbolts of God
" Foreign Military Biography" is an amusing parr
—a sort of historiette ; and the article on the " Vo-
luntary Principle" is better written than reasoned.
" Delta" contributes two or three poems worthy
of this
lished writer.

In One handsome Volume, beautifully printed by Whittingham,
Embellished with 131 Engravings, price 4s. 6d., in boards.
PETER PARLEY'S TALES ABOUT THE
SIJN, MOON, and STARS ; and also the late COMET.
" If a man were obliged to declare what has been the most lovely
thing it has beep, his good fortune to witness, I conceive that, with-
out hesitation, he would reply—' the mind of a young child.'
" We observe with what delight a child beholds every new object
that meets his eye ; and we all know for many years he feels, or
rather suffers, a thirst Which is almost insatiable.
" He desires, and very naturally desires, to know what the moon
is ? what are the stars ? Ns here the rain, wind, and frost come from ?
With innocent simplicity, he asks, what becomes of the light of a
candle when it is blown out ? Any story, or any history, ho greedily
devours."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

(THIS DAY.)

HATTON-GARDEN.
.3fary Harrinaton was this morning brought before Mr.
BENNETT, charged with being drunk and creating a disturb-
ance in the street.
Mr. BENNETT—WeII, what have you to say to this charge ?
—Prisoner—Why thin, plaze yer Honor's Wertchip, I am very
sorry indeed, but I'll take good care it shall not happen again.
Mr. BENNETT—What are you ?—Prisoner—Why, sir, I'm
a married woman.
Mr. BENNETT—Where is your eusband?—Prisoner—Och,
your Honor, 'an he's dead these two years, ever since he fell
off a scaffold.

Mr. BENNETT—WeII, never let me see you here again.
Prisoner—Oh no, yer Wertchip, that you may depind upon.
She was discharged.
Francis Mitchell was charged with having stolen a coat, the
property of Edward Lawrence, a builder, Woodbridge-street.
From the evidence of the prosecutor, it appeared that the
prisoner applied to him for a job in the plastering line, but not
being wanted, he left the premises, and immediately after..
wards the property was missed.
Policeman, No. 3 G, took the prisoner into custody some
time afterwards, but had not found the property.
Mr. BENNETT remanded the prisoner, in order to give time
for that purpose.

HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday having been appointed for the final examination
of William Alfred, on various charges of felony, a turnkey,
belonging to the New Prison, attended at the office, with a
certificate, stating that the prisoner was in so dangerous a
state in the infirmary of the prison, that he could not be
brought up.
Mr. LAING—What ails him? Turnkey—He is in a con-
firmed consumption. He cannot take the least sustenance,
and his bones are actually protruding through his skin.
Mr. LAING said it was very extraordinary. He appeared to
be in that state at Worship-street, when Mr. Grove was in-
duced to relieve him, and order an officer to see him set down
by an omnibus, in the neighbourhood of Battle-bridge, where
he said he had friends ; but he was sufficiently well and strong
enough to proceed, the moment after he was put down, to two
different places, and commit robberies. He (Mr. Laing) had
an impression that he was practising a cunning deception by
assuming illness.
The turnkey said if that were the case the prisoner was per-
forming his part so cleverly that every body in the place was
imposed upon ; he was so wasted away that he did not expect
to sec him alive on his return to the prison.
Mr. LAING then ordered that the examination should be
postponed until Monday next, and, if possible, the prisoner be
brought before him.

TVORSHIP-STREET.

Ellen Derry alias Ellen Dacey, an Irishwoman, of fresh
complexion, was placed at the bar, before Mr. GROVE, charged
with robbing Mrs. Bartholomew, landlady of the Weavers'
Arms, Brown-lane, Spitalfields.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.
London, England, 1836-09-16

UNION-HALL.

Frederick Broughton and William Broughton, two young
men of respectable appearance, and who described themselves
as residing at No. 8, Belmont-place, Wandsworth-road, were
this morning brought before Mr. TRAILL, charged with steal-
ing a diamond pin, value 101., the property of a Mr. John
Price.

From the evidence it appeared that the prisoners, together
with the prosecutor, were at Mr. Price's the Mason's
Arms, in Horsemonger-lane, playing at skittles last night
about 10 o'clock. Mr. Price fell asleep in the skittle
grounds ; shortly afterwards the boy who picked up the skittle
pins observed the prisoner, Frederick Broughton, go up to
the prosecutor and take something from his breast; previous
to this the boy had observed a diamond pin in Mr. Price's
shirt, and when the prisoner went away from him, the boy
discovered that the pin had gone. He instantly run to tell
his master, who stopped the prisoner, Frederick Broughton,
who stoutly denied the robbery, but on searching him, the pin
was discovered in his right-hand breeches pocket.
The officer who took the charge said that Mr. Price had
been drinking, but was not intoxicated. Had seen the pin in
Mr. Price's shirt, five minutes before he took the charge.
Mr. TRAILL directed William Broughton to be discharged,
there being no evidence against him, and committed Frederick
Broughton for trial.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTEESALL'S-YEsrERDAY.
DONCASTER ST. LEGER.
Yesterday was the last public betting day in London pre-
vious to the Doncaster races, which commence on Monday
next. Owing to the number of departures the attendance was
less numerous than on Monday, and tho betting not so brisk.
The Brother to St. Giles was in increased favour, 2to 1
having been taken in the first inssance, and 200 to 110 after ;
the last offers against him were 7to 4. Elis was equal in de-
mand, at half a point less than the odds quoted on Monday.
Trapball also advanced. Business was almost exclusively
confined to these three. 20 to 1 was betted against Wedge,
and 30 to 1 against Gladiator to small sums ; but, from the
general anxiety to bet against them, it would appear that their
chances are out. It is not expected that the field will exceed
fifteen. Closing prices :-
7 to 4 agst Mr. W. Scott's Bro. to St. Giles—take 75 to 40
4 to 1 agst Lord Lichfield's Elis—take 9 to 2

AQUATICS.

LOYAL VICTORIA YACIiT CLUB.—The silver cup match,
below bridge, of this distinguished club is postponed until next
season, and will be the opening match.
SWEEPSTAKES SAILING MATCH.—...A match amongst the
boats of this club, pounds for tonnage, will take place on the
30th inst. A steam-boat is engaged to accompany the match.
BRITISH YACHT CLUB.— GRAND SAILING MATCH.—The
annual below-bridge sailing-match between the boats belong-
ing to this club will take place on Friday, the 30th inst., for a
very handsome silver cup and cover. The following are en-
tered Hewes's Brilliant, 8 tons ; Mr. Halliday's
Water Witch, 8 tons ; Mr. Weston's Vestris, 8 tons ; and
Mr. Box's Gem, 9 tons. The boats are admirably matched.
Mr. ROBINSON'S MATCH.—There appears to be but little
chance of having the money on this match either won or lost.
It will evidently be drawn, as there does not seem to be a
shadow of chance of its ever coming off. The public patience
is tired out on the subject. This has not been a very good
speculation. " What will the Christmas-box reading-bag say
to this ?"

Coombes, the winner of the Duke of Buccleuch's sove-
reigns, has not yet found a customer. He is open to row any
man of his weight.
The crack four-oared match, between the old and new Diana,
will take place on Wednesday week, from Westminster to
Putney.
GRAND SCULLER'S WAGER.—The attention of the aquatic
circles is at the present moment completely engrossed by the
expected contest between Watts of Waterloo Bridge, and
Phelps, of Fulham. To the very few who are unacquainted
with the prowess of the respective men, it may be necessary to
state that Watts was the winner of the purse of sovereigns,
given by the gentlemen, frequenters of Lyons's, last year, and
that Phelps carried off the prize this season. In each of these
two matches Bartlett, of Vauxhall, had contended, and the
gentlemen patrons were determined to give these three a fair
start, as there was a diversity of opinion on the subject. We
detailed the particulars of the match between them, which took
place a fortnight since. Phelps was the winner; but it could
hardly be considered a victory. Watts had the worst station,
No. 3 from the North shore, and on his arrival facing Chand-
ler's, was water-logged from that distance all the way up ; he
shipped water, and at the time he left his boat there was cer-
tainly one hundred weight and a half more than he had bar_
g.tii.Ld Lr. 13:11 stc,od "like a cipher in the great ac-
count," and as regarded his merits, good as he may be, he de-
cidedly stands no chance with these men, next as they are to

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Wednesday the proprietors of Goding's:Ale Brewery, Broad-
street, Golden-square, were summoned before Mr. CHAMBERS,
for objecting to pay the reward to those firemen who attended
with their engines to put out an alleged fire in one of the
brewery chimneys.
The firemen proved that an alarm of fire was given, and
that they brought their engines to the brewery. When they
arrived there they saw some sparks come out of a high chim-
ney belonging to the brewery, but they did not see any flame.
The engines were not set to work, there being no occasion for
their use; nor, in fact, could they have been of any service
had the chimney been on fire in reality, as it was 40 or 50 feet
higher than the other part of the building.
A gentleman from the brewery denied that any fire had oc-
curred in the chimney. It was a very great hardship to be
called upon for the usual reward under such circumstances,
and more particularly as the firm had very recently submitted
to pay the amount for a similar case, and they were liable to
be called upon every day to do the same thing.
Mr. CHAMBERS remarked that he did not see how he could
refuse to give the reward to the firemen, it having been de-
cided on appeal to the Sessions, that they were entitled to it
if it could be proved that sparks' had been seen to issue from
the chimney. The proprietors of the brewery must know this,
as they had on one occasion appealed against the decision, and
the Sessions had confirmed the award.
The gentleman from the brewery replied it was true that
the late Mr. Goding had appealed, and had lost the cause, but
that was many years ago, and since then, in compliance with
the provisions of the Act of Parliament, the chimneys had
been raised to a height which precluded all likelihood of dan-
ger. It would be impossible to carry on business if they were
to be summoned every time a few sparks were seen, or if the
system adopted by the firemen was to be tolerated.
Mr. CHAMBERS said, with the decision of the Sessions be-
fore him, he was obliged to award the reduced amount (about
405.); but he was of opinion, if an appeal was presented, and
all the circumstances stated, that his decision would perhaps be
reversed.

The lowest reward was then adjudged.
A case analogous to the above met with a different fate last
Monday. It was as follows :—A lad, the son of a respectable
tradesman in Sherrard•street, was called to prove that Mr.
Lambert's chimney, in Coventry-street, was on fire. The lad
said he saw the engines proceeding towards the fire, and he
ran along with them. When they stopped bipre Mr, Lam-

HORTICULTURAL IMPROVEMENTS.
T READ, inventor of the GARDEN SY-
• BINGE, for which, in the year 1820, he obtained a Patent,
and was honoured with a silver medal by the Horticultural Society of
London for the invention, as the best instrument of the kind ever
offered to the public, now begs most respectfully to inform Ladies,
Noblemen, Gentlemen, and the most respectable Society of Hor-
ticulturists, that after thirty-one years experience in practical gar-
dening, and nineteen in mechanical science, he has now sealed his
FIFTH PATENT for certain improvements in raising and fercing
of Fluids. These improvements embrace every species of Hy-
draulic machinery, from the new Garden Machine that may be
used by a lady, or even a child, with the greatest ease, to the Gar-
den Barrow Engines, Fire Engines, or Ship Pumps. They consist
of a new Valvular Action, by which friction is diminished, and
which cannot possibly get out of repair.
Manufactured and sold by the Patentee, 35, Regent Circus,
Piccadilly, where they may be seen and proved, and every explana-
tion given.

States, the
pretensions of the present English Government
are unparalleled, and new even in the annals of English
diplomacy.
On the 17th of March, 1824, a treaty was concluded be-
tween the King of the Netherlands and the King of Great
Britain, by which the territorial possessions of the two
Powers in the East Indies were definitively regulated.
At the same time the old colonial system was abolished,
instead of the former exclusion the possessions of both
nations were opened to the subjects and ships of each
other, on advantageous conditions, but without any men.

" 7. The law does not provide for any publicaf on of the

" 11. The law does not limit the number of branches, or
the distance of such branches from the central bank.
" 12. The law is not sufficiently stringent to insure to
the public that the names registered at the Stamp-office
are the names of persons bona fide proprietors, who have
signed the deed of settlement, and who are responsible to
the public.
"13. The provisions of the law appear insiequate, or
at least are disregarded, so far as they impose upon banks
the obligation of making their notes payable at the places
of issue. _

" All these separate questions appear to your Committee
deserving of the most serious consideration, with a view to
the future stability of the banks throughout the United
Kingdom, the maintenance of commercial credit, and the
preservation of the currency in a sound state.
" The most important facts which have come under the
consideration of your Committee are connected with the
operation of the joint stock banks on credit and circulation.
It appears that a great extension has been given to both,
and that if the operations of all banks, whether private, or
formed on joint stock principles, are not conducted with
prudence and with caution, measures adopted by the Bank
of England with a view to the state of the foreign exchanges,
"and of the consequent demand for bullion, may be con-
tracted by the advances and increased issues of country
banks. The following table will exhibit the progress
of the circulation for some time past, and it is to be in-
ferred from the increased issues of joint stock banks at
periods when the Bank of England was endeavouring to
limit the amount of paper in circulation, that a due atten-
tion was not given by them to the returns published in the
Gazette under the Act of the 3d and 4th Will. IV. c. 98.
