HATTON-GARDEN.

Mnrgaret Burton, a middle-aged respectable-looking
female, and Mary Ann, her daughter, a very fine girl 18
or 19, were charged by Mr. George Corbett, of No. 1,
Hatton-garden, with creating a disturbance and annoying
him in his house. It appeared from the evidence of the
elder female, that having discovered her daughter was
pregnant, she went with her to the house of the de-
fendant, in whose family she had lived for some time,
and who had effected her ruin. He admitted he was the
cause of the pregnancy, and offered 5/. towards the ex-
penses of the lying-in, and to take the babe soon after it
was born. She waited on him a second time, when he
behaved most brutally, and gave them in charge. The
complainant now denied having had intimacy with the
daughter, and said there was no proof of his offering 51.
Mr. Comm (to the complainant)—l am inclined to
to think that an action might be maintained against you
for false imprisonment, and I am further inclined to be-
lieve you have seduced the girl, and are the father of the
child she is pregnant with. I also believe you offered
the 51., since you do not deny it, but say she has no wit-
ness to prove it. Such an answer I consider an evidence
of guilt ; it is unfortunate the law is so strict that she
must have corroborative proof of your being the father.
If you are so, you are morally, if not legally, bound to
take care of it—no man would shrink from such a re-
sponsibility. The defendants are discharged.

BOW-STREET.

Frederick Hull was summoned to show cause why he
refused to pay the sum of 91. 12s. Bd., being the balance
of 101. obtained from the Joint Stock Loan Society in
1839.

J. Popplewell, Secretary to the society, proved the
defendant's signature to a promissory note of payment,
as well as those of his two sureties, one of whom has
since hung himself, and the other absconded.

An attorney's clerk attended for the defendant, and
said his (defendant's) reason for refusing payment was,
that when he obtained the loan he was a minor, and
consequently any contract entered into by him could not
hold good.
Mr. TWYFORD said, that if he could prove his minority
it would be a good ground for defence.
A certificate of the defendant's baptism at Hadfield
Church was then put in, .but Mr. Twyford refused to
take it in evidence, as, he said, the child might have
been five or six years old when baptised, for aught he
knew. He should therefore require the attendance of
some person who was present at the birth.
The attorney's clerk said that the only person now
alive who was present on that occasion was defendant's
half sister, who was only put to bed yesterday. If, how-
ever, the case could be postponed for a month, she could
come forward.

The Secretary stated that he was afraid this was only
an excuse to gain time for the defendant to get out of the
way, as he, had obtained money from at least twenty
different Societies, and endeavoured to evade payment
under a similar plea, and by reason of the disappearance
of one surety, and the death of the other, none of them
could get their money.
Mr. TWYFORD eventually ordered the case to stand
adjourned until Wednesday, the Ist of September.
Another case against the defendant, of the same cha-
racter, was also postponed.

WORSHIP• STREET.

Sarah Le Sage was charged with maliciously breaking
an enormous quantity of window-glass at the house of
her master and his neighbours. She had been for some
time in the service of Mr. Madding, a tradesman resid-
ing in Penley--street, Bethnal-green, who had suffered
by the breakage of his windows during the last six
weeks, as had also several_ persons his immediate neigh.
bours, by stones and pieces of brick thrown through the
glasi. Repeated complaints were made to the police, but
the perpetrator remained undiscovered, though 30 or 40
people were on the look-out. While they were all there
the window-breaking still increased ; one person had no
less than thirty squares broken, another twenty, besides
other sufferers. The prisoner had shown great anxiety
to discover the offender, and had passed unnoticed. At
length it was observed that stones were thrown through
the glass from the inside of a room in Mr. Madding's
house, and a person named Miller, who had gone into the
house with a view to the discovery, was himself sus-
pected, and such an outcry raised against him that he
was afraid to leave the place. He, however, from the
prisoner's demeanour, suspected her ; and she being
searched, a number of pieces of brick and stone were
found in her pockets. She said she had picked th2m up
when thrown in through the window, but at last con-
fessed her guilt.
Upon being questioned by Mr. Broughton, she said she
had no motive, and could not tell why she had done it.
She had no complaint to make of her master and mis-
tress, who gave her a good character as to her former
conduct.

The MAGISTRATE put a variety of questions, from the
replies to which it appeared that the girl had never re-
ceived any religious or moral instruction, but was in a
state of the. darkest ignorance. He committed her for
two months to the House of Correction, where he told
her she should be visited by the chaplain, and be taught
the difference between right and wrong.

roa:exGN.

The fetes of July have passed over peaceably this
year. Our advices from Paris, dated Friday, convey
the gratifying intelligence that, save a few idle shouts
from some drunken workmen, not the smallest attempt
was made to disturb the peace of the French capital.
Since the King had the good sense to disap-
point the miserable vanity of the maniacs who
attempted his life, by allowing their silly heads to re-
main upon their miserable shoulders, regicidal plots—
infernal machines—and the exercise of pistol-practice al
I-loyal carriages, have gone out of fashion. How oftet.
when the guillotine reeked with blood, did we not pre-
dict that such a result would follow the exercise of Royal
clemency ?

We find the following in the Chronicle of Saturday
morning The Hanoverian Deputies who refused t,
vote the Budget, and who protested against the King':
conduct, have been warmly received by their constitu-
ents ; but the police force them to pay a fine of twelv,
groschen for every vivat. The fines are willingly paid.
Thus his Majesty of Hanover makes money of his un-
poputarity." Our Contemporary is mistaken. King
Ernest makes no money by his unpopularity ; for ever
groschen he receives as a mulct for a shout in praise ol
a patriot Deputy, it costs him at least ten to obtain the
slightest symptom of popular applause for himself. The
most loyal people in the world no longer shout " God
save the King" without being well paid for it ; and the
better class of Hanoverians will not sell their voices to
swell the regal-blessing cry at any price. King Ernest
proceeds on a very business principle. He is a King,
and as such he insists that his subjects shall not give
that to others for nothing which he can only obtain, and
of an inferior quality too, by purchase.
The Hanoverian Minister of the Interior, by com-
mand of the King, has authorised the functionaries of
the State to prosecute and imprison all persons whatso-
ever that attempt to obstruct the exercise of the new
Constitution by an observance of their oaths to maintain,
the Constitution granted them by King William the
Fourth. The King is angry that the Hanoverians con-
tinue so stupid as not to know that he can grant as
plenary a dispensation from oaths as was ever claime,
by the proudest pontiff claiming to sit in tht
chair of St. Peter. But the Hanoverians have good rea-
sons fur exhibiting such obtuseness of intellect. They
rightly appreciate the value of the liberties of which King
Ernest would rob them, and are resolved to maintain
them inviolate.

The war preparations in the arsenals of France are
not discontinued, although the Eastern question i:,
allowed on all hands to be settled. The fact, except
as regards the navy, gives us no uneasiness. The evil
will cure itself. The more taxes are spent in prepara-
tion for wars the less there remains to carry them on.
Guns and ammunition are never wanting where there is
plenty of money. Ships and sailors to man them
are the only defences of a country which an overflowint:
Treasury cannot command in any emergency.

It would appear that the commercial crisis in Germany
was not yet over. The
.shares of the National Bank of
Vienna had fallen 20 florins in consequence of the failure
of rive more houses at Trieste.

A letter from Berne, in the Helvetie, says that the
failures of the houses of Steiner and Geymulle:, at
Vienna, have caused many victims in Borne, Geneva,
and Basle. The shares of the Vienna Bank had fallen
20 florins, owing to the news of five houses having failed
in Triete.

At Dartmouth, on Wednesday last, a dinner wa

The parties were dangeroithly ill for several days, but
they all survived. The daughter, grand-child, and son-
in-law, were the principal witnesses. Baron Rolfe passed
sentence of death on the prisoner.
At Norwich, William Buck, an agricultural la-
bourer, was tried for shooting at Richard Goode; bailiff
and gamekeeper to a gentleman in the neighbourhood of
Little Snaring. The Jury acquitted him of murder, but
returned a verdict of shooting with intent to do the pro-
secutor grievous bodily harm. Sentence deferred.
At Maidstone, on Friday, the Court was occupied
upwards of ten hours in the case of Thomas v. Bird, and
another. The action was for false imprisonment, and
forcibly taking away from the plaintiff 5001., her pro-
perty. The plaintiff had been housekeeper for eleven
years to an old man of the name of Bird, and alleged
that she had received the money from him previous to
his death, but the jury seemed to be of a different opinions
and returned a verdict for the defendant.

The Cambrian gives an account of the inquest held
upon the body of Joseph Bentley, who was killed by the
collision of the " Merthyr" and " Dines" engines, on the
Taff Vale railway. The deceased was the driver of the
latter engine, and the Jury were of opinion that he_was
the main cause of the accident, from not having obeyed
the instructions given him.
—A singular inquiry took place lately before the
Chancery Commissioners at Dublin, in the case of Mr.
William Robert Sherlock, a man of property, and son of
Captain Sherlock, He labours under the impression that
his wife was daughter of William IV., and George IV.,
and that he was entitled to the Throne, and consequently
that the Queen is an usurper. He sometimes drives into
Dublin with a coach and four, which has frequently the
addition of an ass. The Jury have pronounced him
unfit to manage his affairs.

THE BARBAROUS MURDER AT

EXETER.
CONFESSION CF BRINSMEAD.
(From the Flying Post.)
On this dark and appalling event we are happy in
being enabled to relieve the public mind by placing
before it the confession of Brinsmead, made in the
presenee of several persons in the gaol this morning.
He says, as has been communicated to us, that
there were three of them in company when they
left the Cattle Market Inn, as stated by Mr. Tay-
lor and his companion ; but that this third person wished
them a good night, and left them at the corner of South-
street. He says, he knows this person perfectly by sight,
but persists he does not know his name. Himself and
Pitts then proceeded through South-street and Hollo-
way-street, into the Topsham-road, and thence into the
road leading to the river, as before stated. When they
got to the bottom, Pitts demarided some money of Mr.
Bennett, and that gentleman gave Brimsted sixpence, as he
said, to get something to drink. He also gave Pitts a
shilling, but the latter swore he would not take so small
a sum, and with an oath he swore he would have
more, as he knew he (Bennett) had plenty of money.
Pitts then seized Mr. Bennett round the middle,
and " bang'd" him up against the rails, calling to Brims-
mead (as he held Mr. Bennett), saying, "Let go at
him." Pitts also struck him a severe blow in the
face, and then made use of his knife, which Mr.
Bennett succeeded in wresting from him. A des-
perate struggle ensued between Pitts and Mr. Bennett
by the door of the boat-house ; and in this they ap-
proached thejedge of the water, and at length Pitts pushed
Mr. Bennet into the water. Brinsmead persists he had
no hand in this last act, but "heard, the House." Brins-
mead now said to Pitts, " You've settled him, we had
better make off." Pitts replied, "---- his eyes, he has
nearly cut my finger off, and had nearly cut my
throat." It is understood that there is a severe cut on
one of Pius' fingers. They then made their way to
Sellick's lodging,chouse at Westgate (a Tom-and-Jerry
shop in that part of the city), and when they got there,
Pitts took a knife and scraped the blood from his jacket.
(This jacket, which had before been spoken of, presents
the appearance of something of this kind having been
done.) It is understood that at Sellick's Pitts changed a
sovereign, and they took 10s. each.. We also under-
stand that the watch of the deceased gentleman was left
deposited at Sellick's, and is now in the possession of the
police.

This account goes so far to exonerate the females
Dickers and Stapleton. Indeed, the statement of Brins-
mead throws an air of doubt over the whole of the story.
told by Ann Trinn. It is remarkable also that Bnns-
mead, when taken into custody by Stuckes, had a
sixpence, and one sixpence only on his person. It
is known, as we are told, that Mr. Bennett had fif-
teen sovereigns in his pocket that 'afternoon ; having
drawn that sum. We might here likewise mention that
the name of the female brought from Newton St. Cyres,
is Butson, and not Vicary ; and being confronted with
her, Trinn declared she had never seen her before ; and

The Overland Mail, whose arrival at Marseilles was
announced in The Sun of Friday, has reached London.
The intelligence is very meagre upon all questions in
which the public generally take an interest. On the 26th
of May Sir Gordon Bremer left Calcutta for Canton
with considerable re-inforcements. It was reported at
Bombay that the new expedition would be directed against
Pekin. We trust the report is well founded. By com-
pelling the Emperor to shift his quarters a stronger im-
pression will be made upon the fears of the Celestials than
if we laid Canton in ashes, and sunk Chusan in the
Yellow Sea.

The capture of the Hogue forts has been reported
to the Emperor of China. The effect of this news upon
a personage so regally decorous as the " son of Heaven,
brother of the Sun and Moon, and cousin of their little
Highnesses the stars," as reported by himself, was ra-
ther startling. It caused him to gnash his teeth " with

SPAIN.

MADRID, JULY 23.—The Minister of Finance's pro-'
ject for raising three millions of dollars, at 6 per cent.
interest per annum, has partly passed through Congress
this day, after a most obstinate opposition, by 63 against
31 votes ; but various amendments have been submitted
to the remaining clauses, which will only be disposed of
to-morrow, but it is thought that they will pass by an
equally large majority.
Despatches have just been received from Senhor
Aguelar, the Spanish Minister at Lisbon. They
confirm the suspicion that Donna Maria's Govern-
ment was to re-establish the absolute form of go-
vernment, as well as that it is intended to offer
every hostility to the consolidation of Espartero's Re-
gency. The Progressists are agitating to compel Great
Britain to give satisfaction for what they call the re-
peated outrages at Algesiras and the one at Carthegena,
as well as for drawing Mr. Turnbull from the Consulate
at the Havannah. Senor Arguelles takes the oaths as
Guardian next Monday. On Change, nineteen bargains

BOW-STREET.

Frederick Hall was summoned to show cause why he
refused to, pay the sum of 9/. 12s. Bd., being the balance
of 10/. obtained from the Joint Stock Loan Society in
1839.

J. Popplewell, Secretary to the society, proved the
defendant's signature to a promissory note of payment,
as well as those of his two sureties, one of whom has
since dung himself, and the other absconded.

An attorney's clerk attended for the defendant, and
said his (defendant's) reason for refusing payment was,
that when he obtained the loan he was a minor, and
consequently any contract entered into by him could not
hold good.

TWYFORD said, that if he could prove his minority
it would be a good ground fur defence.
A certificate of the defendant's baptism at Hadfield
Church was then put in, but Mr. Twyford refused to
take it in evidence, Its, he said, the child might have
been five or six years old when baptised, for aught he
knew. He should therefore require the attendance of
some person who was present at the birth.
The attorney's clerk said that the only person now
alive who was present on that occasion was defendant's
half sister, who was only put to bed yesterday. If, how-
ever, the case could be postponed for a month, she could
come forward.

The Secretary stated that he was afraid this was only
an excuse to gain time for the defendant to get out of the
way, as he had obtained money from at least twenty
different Societies, and endeavoured to evade payment
under a similar plea, and by reason of the disappearance
of one surety, and the death of the other, none of them
could get their money.
Mr. TWYFORD eventually ordered the case to stand
adjourned until Wednesday, the Ist of September.
Another case against the defendant, of the same cha-
racter, was also postponed.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

The following protocol of the Conference was signed
on July 10, 1841, and is published by the Augsburgh
Gazelle :
" As the difficulties in which his Highness the Sultan
was involved, and which induced him to accept the
aid and support of the Four Powers, are terminiffed ;
and as Mehemet has fulfilled the act of submisston to
the Sultan, which the Convention of July aimed at,
so have the Representatives of the Powers signers of
that Treaty, thought fit to recognise and consecrate
the old usages of the Ottoman Porte for preventing
armed ships of war to enter the Straits of the Dar-
danelles and Bosphorus. To give a common and perma-
nent sanction to this, and, at the same time, to give a
mark of the harmony and unity which guide the inten-
tions of the Powers, it is agveed to guarantee this and to
get the Sultan to invite France to join therein. As this
agreement is intended to give Europe a pledge of the
unity of the four Powers, the British Foreign Secretary
has undertaken, in concert with the other plenipoten-
tiaries, to communicate them to the French Government,
and to take part in the arrangements, by which the
Sultan declares his determination to uphold the said
rule, the five Powers on their side making known their
resolution to respect it.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PAms, FRIDAY, JULY 30.—The despatch of yester-
day brought up the news to one o'clock, P.M. From
that hour to midnight the Champs Elysees were crowded.
The illuminations of the avenue, like a Moorish gallery,
were superb. The fireworks were brilliant. At the
concert, in the Tuileries gardens, some seditious cries
were heard ; and the " Marsellaise " and " Parisienne "
were played on the demand of the people. All paseed
off quietly except this little incident. The opposi-
tion papers persist in the statement that the Paris
Municipality has declared, by a strong majority, that
the fiscal measure of M. Humann was illegal,intolerable,
and an attack on municipal privileges. Some disturb-
ances had taken place at Strasburg, owing to the foot
Chasseurs taking offence at some squibs, in the shape of
advertising placards, which they tore down with their
bayonets. The King this morning, at half-past seven
o'clock, went to Corbeil by the railroad, en route for Fon-
tainbleau, and will return this evening. Baron de Bu-
low arrived on the 22d at his scat near Berlin, and will
shortly go to Frankfort as Envoy to the Germanic Diet.
The provincial journals state that the fetes concluded
on the preceding night in the best possible spirit. Re-
sistance to the new fiscal measures of Government had
been manifested at Nimes, at Strasburgh, and elsewhere,
but nothing serious had occured in any part.
The weather in Paris continued to be magnificent.

EASTERN NEWS.

A copy of the Augsburg Gazette, received by extraor-
dinary courier yesterday evening, contains, in a letter
dated Paris, the 23d instant, the text of the protocol
signed by Prince Esterhazy, Bann .Neumann, Lord Pal-
merston, Baron Bulow, and Baron Brunow, at a Confer-
ence held in London, on the 10th inst. in the following
terms:—
" In consequence of the difficulties in which his High-
ness the Sultan found himself, he determined to claim the
aid and assistance of the Austrian, British, French,
and Russian Goverments, and the difference which
existed between Mehemet Ali and the Sultan, for the
arrangement of which the treaty of the 15th of
July was concluded, having been settled, the repre-
sentations of the Powers who signed that Convention an-
nounced in a formal manner that the ancient rule of the
Ottoman Empire, which declares that no ships of war
belonging to Foreign Powers, should be admitted into
the Straits of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles should 'be
observed, and invited the French Government to join in
such a declaration according to the wish of the Sultan.
The British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs there-
fore invited the French Government to join the Plenipo-
tentiaries of the other Four Powers, in declaring, thatthe
Sultan should in future close the entrance of the Straits
in conformity with the aforesaid principle ; and the Five
Powers on their part agreed to respect and support such
determination."

The Marquis of Exeter, proceeding on. Tuesday
last to Newmarket, had his travelling carriage forcibly
driven against by a waggon, by which one pannel ryas
broken, and his Lordship severely cut. At Barkway his
Lordship received medical assistance, and is not seriously
hurt.

A pension of 2001. a year has been graciously
granted on the Civil List, by her Majesty, to Lady

From a Birmingham police case it appears that the
ordinary cigars are infamously manufactured. Dadford,
a man who carried on a wholesale trade in supplying
breweries, public-houses, and shopkeepers, had the ma-
terials of his craft seized last 'Wednesday. They con-
sisted of dock-horse radish and rhubarb-leaves, jars and
bottles of pickle, and other filthy and poisonous mixtures
for colouring, staining, and scenting them.

At the Mansion House, attention has been called
lately to nuisances now existing in the City. Upon the
subject of one—viz., the increase of fires in London—
Mr. Booth, a Chemical Lecturer, has addressed a letter
to Sir Chapman Marshall, showing that they in number-
less cases originate from the combustible nature of the
warehouse stores. The Surrey side of the Thames has,
within the last month, had two, one in which four ware-
houses were burnt down, and twenty-six houses damaged
from spontaneous combustion of lamp-black ; and.in a
fire last week at an upholsterer's in the Westminster-
road, from the materials used in bed-making. The let-
ter enumerates a number of those stores which invariably
threaten inflammibilty, and mentions that pigeon's dung
was the cause of destruction of the great Church at Pisa.

PASTERN PRODUCE.

COTTON.--A few days after the date of the P.S. to our
last, there was a good demand for Cotton, and prices ad-
vanced Rs. 2 a 3 on most qualities ; but since the arrival
of the overland mail on the Bth inst., transactions have
been extremely limited, as shippers are offering lower
rates, whilst holders, having stored all their cotton for
the monsoon, evince no disposition to submit to any re-
duction. The price of Broach may now be quoted at
Rs. 110, Oomrawuttee a 106 a 110, Dollera a 102, and

other descriptions in proportion.

ANECDOTE OF NAPOLEON.

Shortly before the battle of Jena, Napoleon h td well
nigh fallen a victim to one of those accidents which may
be considered as reinforcements to the legitimtte ha.
zards encountered in the glorious " trade of war." At
Weimar theEmperordisposed his forces in order o(battle,
and bivouacked in the centre of his Guard. He had ordered
a passage to be hollowed in the rock, and t6wards
two o'clock in the morning set out on foot to ascertain
how the work was proceeding. Having r,unaie ed an
hour on the spot, he resolved to make. a rapid
inspection of the nearest outposts, before ceturning
to his hivouaelt. This solitary excursion nen: ly cost
the Emperor his life. The night was so dar k that
the sentries were unable to see the slightest oh feet .at
the distance of ten paces. One of them, hearin, r foot-
steps, challenged, and immediately presented his piece.
The Emperor, who was prevented from hearing I tile cia
wive by one of his fits of absence, made no a a swer,..
and was speedily aroused from his reverie by ' a ball
whizzing past his ear. Instantly aware oif his
danger, he threw himself flat on the ground. t No
sooner had be adopted this precaution than a s lower
of bullets passed over him ; the first sentry's fire aving
been repeated through the whole line. The mom, e ntary
danger past, the Emperor rose and walked st r eight
to the nearest outpost, where be was immed; lately
recognized. In a few minutes the sentry who had first
challenged and fired was relieved from his post; and
brought before Napoleon. The soldier was a y oung
Grenadier in one of the regiments of the line. " You
young rascal I" said the Emperor, familiarly pincbit g his
cheek, "it seems you took me for a Prussian! the! dog
does not waste his powder ; nothing lass than an Em-
peror rci ves him for a mark." The poor soldier, it tt:e
