POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARYLEBONE-OFEICE.-ROBBERY AT TUE COUNTESS
or PostrnEfs.—Yesterday information Was received at this
Office, that the residence of the above Lady, 21, Portman-square,
had been entered by thieves early that morning, during the tem-
porary absence of the housekeeper; the Countess and family
being sojourning at Brighton. It appears that the person who
was left in care of the house is an aged female, and on this
morning she arose ut about 7 o'clock, when she went out on
some household business, taking the street door key with her,
in order to let herself in. On her return which was in
a few moments, she discovered the hall door standing wide
open. Staples, a very intelligent officer, was deputed to inspect
the premises, and on his survey, he gave it as his opinion, that
it was that sort of robbery called' "on the sneak," committed
by fellows who prowl about the west end of the town, watching
the servants out, and then they enter the house, and plunder
it of whatever property they can lay their hands on. On a
close inspection he gave it as his opinion that the robberi must
have got over the area, descended the steps, and entered the,
house through the kitchen window; they then proceeded up
stairs, and stole from. the hall the bracket clock, which had'
-been before attempted to have been stolen, and for security was,
fastened by a chain, which was broken in two by the robbers.
All the rooms in the house were untouched, and no other pro.
perty was missing.
Usiow HaLL.—Yesterday James Diggks was charged by,
Mr. George Drake with having stolen a travelling coat belong.
ing to himself and his partner, Mr. 'Woollen. On Wednesday
last he had ()erasion to leave the counting-house for a few
minutes, and, on his return, met the prisoner, who had, in
that short time, gone into the counting-house, taken the coat,
and was walking off with it. He was immediately taken into
custody, and given into the hands of an officer. The officer,'
in searching him, found upon hint a petition, purporting to be'
under the auspices of " Mr; IVm. Sykes, banker," which 'he'.
had been in the habit of carrying about with him, supplicating
assistance.—The prisoner said be had a wife and two children
y
and being in great distress, did not deny having been tempted.
to take the coat. He was committed to take his trial at the'
next Quarter Sessions, which will begin onllonday se'nnight.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

WARSAW, JAN. 23.—This morning early his
Majesty the grnperor left this city to return to
St. Petersburg. On the 20th there was a grand
review of all the troops in garrison here, at which
both the Emperor and Prince Constantine wore
the Polish uniform.

BERLIN, FEB. I.—The disorder of the Mini-
ster of State, Von Voss, took so alarming a turn
that all medical aid was vain, and this worthy
Statesman was snatched from his country on Thurs.
day, Jan. 30, in the sixty-third year of his age.

There is not at present the slightest conjecture
respecting his successor as President of the Mi-
nistry ; but, considering the extraordinary press
of business, it is probable that his Majesty's
choice will be shortly decided. His Majesty has
been pleased to confer on M; Von Gentz, in
Vienna, the insignia of the Order of the Red
Eagle of the Second Class, set in diamonds.
ST. PETERSBURG, JAN. 21.—0 n the represen-
tation of Count Gurjew, Minister of Finance, the
Council of the Empire has resolved that the value
of the silver rouble shall 'be continued for this
year at 3 roubles, 60 copecs. There never were
such complaints in the commercial Nvorld as at
this time of the want of ready money and credit ;
our manufacturers complain equally of want of
demand for their goads. Several of them have
discharged half their workmen.
11A FEB. 4.—Three English mails, viz.
those of the 21st, 9.40, and 28th of last month,
have arrived here by way of Holland.
BATAVIA, AUG. 31.—8 y order of the Governor
General no licenCe shall for the present, and till
precise regulations are laid down, be given to
vessels not belonging ta the Dutch possessions in
India, to take in cargoes and to clear out from
Samarang or Sourabaja.—Reports have been re-
ceived that a ship, supposed to be English, was
cast away on a rock near Goea, one of the
islands belonging to, Sumanap. No part of the
cargo was saved, but the crew got on board a
ship that was mder sail at a small distance, and
which afterwards directed her course to the South.

LAST DAYS OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL 130.

London, England, 1823-11-06

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

It is with On that we lay before our readers
he following extract from a Letter received per
ost this morning, doted

" NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Nov.
" It Is with deep concern that I take up my pen to acquaint yo
that another of those dreadful accidents attendant upon mining
has • t occurred in our neighbourhood. Yesterday morning,jus
at about six o'clock, the hydrogen gas exploded with trcmen-
dous effect at itainton Colliery (near Houghton-le-Spring), in
the County of Durham, one of the Coal Mines, belonging to
the Marquis of Londonderry.
" I am not qute sure that I am accurate in describing the full
extent of the injury sustained, but I have reason to think I
speak too nearly the truth, when I report that 55
men and
boys have on this melancholy occasion last their lives I It is
true, that of the number mentioned four or five were brought
to bank living, but their wounds are of so serious a nature that
no hopes are entertained of their recovery.
" As may be supposed, this afflictive news,has produced a
very deep sensation in Newcastle ; but, alas ! sympathy is of
little avail, except in as far as it tends to the relic. of those un-
fortunate beings who are left widows and orphans by the sad
casualty.—Though nothing is known with precision as to the
origin of this heart-rending catastrophe, it may be taken for
granted (judging from previous occurrences of the same na-
ture) that negligence is at the bottom of it. It is certainly
haven
only de-
that all these distressing events (such was
theer
a week or two ago) happen on a
Monday. It would seem, therefore, that there is somehow a
de-
serving of
atre snviahrikte,
slackening of vigilance on the previous day, which ought never
to take Rlace in Collieries where there is any dispositton to ex-
, plosion."'

No. 2.

Seville, July 11, 182:1,
The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Alinistdr Ple
nipotentiary of his Britannic alajesty, has the imoottr to AV knowledge the receipt of the note frent his Excellonce Senor
Pando, Secretary of State for Foreign Affiiirs to his Catitolo
Majesty, tinder the date of the Itlth of .rune, which was not de-
livered to hitn until the 4th of Chi. Month, The undersigtoW
will lose no time in making his Governmesit aettosinted with
the note,and in procuring instructions as to how bets to proceed.
If Senor Pando's communication had been received' in due time,
according to its date, the undersigned would probably, by this
time have received instructions how to act in the event of his
Catholic alajesty's resuming his authority, and of his (Sir W.
A"Court's) being invited to present himself to Cadiz. For want
of these instructions, he' must now await the arrival of another
courier. With the view, however, of avoiding any TniscOn-
struction which might he giVen to this delay, the nottersigned
intends to quit Seville immediately, to proceed to Sao Locai
and thence to embark for Gibraltar, where he will await the
orders of his Government. From this neutral place his cOtn-
inunications with Cadiz will be much more easy, And irA
circumstances should in the mean time occur to induce ;he Spay
nish Government to procure the intervention of the 'British Mi.
nistry for the purpose of addressing propositions to the I,Yenci2
novernment or to the Army, the undersigned has no scruple
iii
assuring Senor Pando that he may, without hesitation, apply
to that Ministry, and that he may rest assured that he will al-
ways find it ready to become the channel for conveying such
propositions, in case the Spanish authoritive should desire and solicit the intervention, 'rile undersigned take this opportu-
nity of repeating to Senor Pando the assurance of his blifhest.
consideration. WILLIAM A'COUBT.

to his Britannic Majegty has done hint the lioncur!to 'direct to

it his ditty, in reply, to inform him that the Involuntary delay
experienced in the delivery of the official communication which
the undersigned hastened to make to his Excellency on the
pith of June last, has been BO much the more disagreeable to
his Majesty's .Government, as it has given occasion to tta:
contioutinceof;-Sir William AlCourt's stay in that city during

unexpected °termination athipted by Sir William ' A'Court
to transfer his residence to. Gibraltar, in awitithk-g fresh in-

YORKSHIRE.
A Provincial Meeting of Free and Accepted Masons, WAS
held in the Grand Hall at Wakefield, on Monday, Oct. ad,
which was very respectably attended ; the business was gone
through in a masterly and truly Masonic manner. The Grand-
and Royal Arch Chapter was opened and supported by the
'Companions of the Loyalty Chapter, from Sheffield, in the pre
sence of Lord Viscount POLIAMITON, Provincial Urand Mas-
ter for the district, and many other respectable companions.
In the course of the day the regular parts of Craft Masonry
were exercised by different Brethren, who were known to be
well qualified in the Union System, and which supported the
business as to do credit to themselves and honour to the lAidgea
to which
.they arc members thereof. The business of the day
being over, the Brethren spent the evening in a pleaurit manner
over an elegant repast prepared by Brother Atzistt
packs Inn, 'Wakefield.

THE THEATRES.

DRURY.LANE.—The tragedy of Macbeth was
represented at this Theatre last night, and Mr.
MACREAD Y was the hero of the piece. It is so
unpleasant to censure, that we should forbear to
say much on the subject, even if we had room at
present. As a whole it did not appear to us to
be a masterly performance. It Was indeed
much applauded. Actors, however, should not
take the suffrages of the ignorant for popularity.
Mrs. Buss was really highly respectable in
Lady Macbeth. The part was throughout well
conceived, and supported with dignity and force.
Et is gratifying to see an actress, in the very prime
of life, with such strong claims to public encourage.
cent. Mr. WA ',LACK was so good a Macduff,
that we should like to see him is Macbeth. He
is among the very few actors who do not imitate
the starts, pauses, tappings, hotels, &cc. Sec. which

have in a great degret injured the modern stage,
and which would have been hooted from it at a
wiser period. Pores Banquo was judiciously
supported.

COVENT GARDEN.—Mr. YouNa, for the first

time, ventured last night as Penru in
The Wheel of Forlune. He kept the excellent
original in his eye ; but while he followed the
correct outline of that regretted original, he
obeyed his feelings, and avoided all servile in&
.tation in the detail. The rest of the Characters
had such adequate support from Messrs. CoOPKR,
W. FARREN, AABBOrr, FARLEY, EGERTON',
BLANCHARD, Miss FOOTE, and Mrs. FALICIT,
as to deserve a larger audience.

A recent letter from Frankfort says, the cele-
brated naturalist, the Prince of N Euwiro,
it is understood, shortly undertake another voy•
age to the Brazils. Ills object, which is purely
philanthropic, is to extend the boundaries of
science in those distant territories, a labour in
which the zeal and talents of the distinguished tra.
yeller have already been crowned with consider.
able success. It is further reported that he will
be accompanied by Mr. von Buot, another cele-
brated naturalist, of Berlin.

Thu French Papers state, that one Michel, a
clopmaker at Dijon, in the Department of the
Cote d'Or, who has twice been sentenced to

death for murder, had rontrilied to elude the
vigilance of the G ens d'Armes, and was at large.
The Minister of the hitt!liar has in consequence
offered a reward of 3,000 francs (1"201. Sterling)
for his apprehension.
A Monument is about to be erected at Camenz,
the birth place of the Poet LESSING, to the me-
mory of that great man, which will embrace a
benevolent object, inasmuch us ays alms-house
will be built at the same time, to be designated
cr LESSING'S FOUNDATION."

H ATTON.-GA R D EN--(THIS D A (SeriOUS
disposition of Mrs. Stanton.)—This unfortunate
woman, who was to have been examined this
day, and who has been so often remanded,
charged with having mutilated her husband, is
now so seriously indisposed as to leave no hopes
of her recovery ; in consequence of which the
examination was adjourned to this day fortnight.
Mr. Stanton is perfectly recovered.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURTS OF CHANCERY (THIS DAY).
This being the first Seal of Michaelmas Term,
the Courts resumed their sittings in consequence,
The Loan CuANcEr.r.on appeared in excellent
health and spirits, and took his seat at half past
ten o'clock. A few motions only were disposed
of, possessing no public interest ; some cases
were also adjourned till the next Seal, by the
consent of all parties ; and the Lord Chancellor
having intimated that he should be unable to at-
tend on Monday, rose in half an hour.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR also took his seat at
half-past ten o'clock, and continued hearing
motions throughout the morning. His Honour
appeared in excellent health.

"COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 31.
-THE XING v. CLARK, OTHERWISE JONES.
Mr. MARRIOTT opened the case for the prosecution, and
stated that this was for a libel of an impious and blasphemous
nature against the Holy Bible, to which the defendant had
pleaded not guilty.
Mr. GURNEY addressed the Jury. He stated that the book
in question was published by Carlile, at 55, in Fleet-street, up-
wards of 2 years ago, but it was not on the part of the prosecu-
tors a stale prosecution, for it was delayed by the defendant him.
self, who for a long time refused to give his name, and rather
than do so, lie went to prison for a considerable time. Now
the book in question was entitled, " Observalions on Letters
to a Friend, on Evidences, Doctrines, and Duties, of the Chris..
than Religion ; by Olinthus Gregory, LL.D. of the Royal
3lilitary Academy, Woolwich. In a letter to the Rev. Wm.
Wait, A.B. King's-square' Bristol. By Richard Carlile."---
The Learned Counsel would riot occupy the Court's time with.,
either reading the blasphemo•:s paragraphs (which would have
to be read by the Officer of the Court), or by any comments
upon it., for it would appear to every man, immediately on being
heard, to be precisely what was. stated in the declaration, and
u njpotbrittis ibe ,
such as the law of the country could not possibly sutler to go
i
ncirlon was then called upon, but no answer was made.
After the Court had stopped nearly ten minutes, without the
witness making his appearance,
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE told the Jury, that from what'
he had read of this publication he had no doubt of its blasphe-
mous nature, but of the character of the defendant they could
know nothing.
•
Mr. FRENCH appeared for the defendant, and stated, that
he meant to admit the publication, and then to defend the
publisher.
The Coy RT—Then, Gentlemen of the Jury, you must fad
the defendant Not Guilty.
The verdict of Not CON was accordingly recorded, and in
about two minutes afterwards the witness arrived—but was told
he might take a walk home again.

THE ROYAL LIBRARY.
Ma. EDITOR —His late MAJESTY, on his tir res.
sion to the Throne, laid the foundation of a Li-
brary, which he intended should never be sepa-
rated from the Crown; it was to be an heir-loom
of the Crown.—lt is a curious circumstance, that
this Library was entirely accumulated during the
life of the Founder; and that the person em-
ployed at the commencement of the collection
still continues to preside over it; that is, from
the year 1762 to the year 1823—a period of
sixty-one years.

Privide Correspondence from Vera Crux,
Nov. 20.--'Phis City is in a dreadful state, the
yellow fever has made its appearance, and in ad.
dition to this awful scene nightly assassinations
are committed. Individuals of all nations 'who
had resorted here as adventurers, are reduced by
poverty and distress to the necessity of enlisting

in
the Mexican ranks. Business is at a stand.
To day a Proclamation was issued by the Emperor
declaring an active war against the forces of Old
Spain remaining in Mexico. All communication
ceases between the Castle and the City, and the

The Courier Francois contends that its Report
of the Speech of M. de VILLELE, for which that
Journal is pd under progecution.,.Was substan-
tially correct. We, for our part, have not the
slightest doubt of its general. accuracy, for. the
,reasons which we have previously submitted to
our Readers. : The, Courier Francais and the
Journal du Commerce, nevertheless, will be con-
victed of the pffence with which they are 'charged ;
for it is impossible that they can offer arty legal
defence for having given unauthorised publicity
to any part of the proceedings of a Secret Com-

45.

LEGAL MUNIFIOcNcE.--The following fact
ought to be made public, in justice to one of the
most estimable characters in this country, and
who would have done honour to the best of
times. A venerable Member of the Judicial
Bench, who was somewhat involved in his cir-
cumstances, from the pressure 'of former pecu.
niary obligations, is so highly respected by
the Gentlemen of the Bar, that they raised a
Subscriptio►► in his favour. The sum required
was 10,000/.; 7,500/. was collected. The.
list was then carried to the LORD CRAN-
CELLoit, who immediately gave a draft for the
whole of the remainder. This is by no means
the first instance of the liberality of the same,
dignified character to professional gintlemen in
embarrassed circumstances ,•

" These are imperial work:, and worthy Kings."

ORATOR grand musical treat took place
last night at Drury-Lane Theatre. The selec-
tion was chiefly from HAND L,' ROSSINI, and
IlcurnovEst. We regret that we have not room
to notice the particular merits of the entertain.
t, but when we state thwt the vocal depart-
ment was supported by Mrs. SALMON, CAMPO.
RUSE, CURIONI, BRAIIAM, BELLAMY, Miss
STEPHENS, Miss TREE, Miss FORDE, and Miss
PA'roN; it is hardly necessary to add that
the whole formed a rich harmonic treat.—
Miss Dianix, a daughter of Mr. CHARLES
DianiN, came forward for the first time, we
believe, in public, and acquitted herself most
ably in a concertante for two harps with I3ocusA.
It was on both parts an admirable specimen of
instiumental skill. T e house was crowded in
all parts. •

KING's TnEATRE.--The Concert Room at this
Theatre was opened hist night for an illustration
of the EIDOURANION by Mr. ‘VALKEII, 14 member,
of that family who have long gratified the public
with Lectures on the sublime science of Astronomy,
Mr. WALKER. evidently inherits the talents and
knowledge of his predecessors, and seemed highly
to gratify a numerous audience.

added to his well-merited reputation as an actor
that of an intelligent and able Lecturer on
Astronomy, during the LENT Season, last year,
resumed his discourses on that wonderful subject
last night. He delivered his lecture with pecu-
liar distinctness, animation, and effect. The
whole was illustrated by admirable machinery,
which rendered all he said very instructive and
very gratifying. lie was most deservedly up-
plautled.

We are rebuked in an amusing little diurnal
work, styled the " Theatrical Obser.ver," for
having censured the assignment of parts among
Gang of Gypsies,.. to Miss CURITT and Miss
Foapv. We join in commending them for
" putting their shoulders to the wheel," but we
still think that they both deserved higher sta-
tions iu the theatrical vehicle.

Medical practice of late years, having rendered it an ob.

Concentrated Syrup has been introduced as a preparation. of
much easier portability, not liable to injury by !Ong keeping,

THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER.

Est.tract of a Letter from Eastbourne; August 9, /823 :
Nothing more, up to the present hour, has transpired respect-
ing the stranger who now lies dead, and whose body has
been put in a state Of preservation by medical process for
the purpose of being more easily identified. All are on the
tiptoe of expectation of some one Nut ly arriving to take a view
of the body in order to ascertain whether or nbt it is Bortiiwick's,
who was advertised as the peison stipposed to have committed
the fraud upon the East Lothian Bank. There arc one or
two circumstances relative to the deceased, that certainly
appear very mysterious, one of which may not be improper to
name. He some time ago took his plane to London, but at
Easthoathly be was missing, and the coach went off without
him. From this circumstance, and his having three keys found
upon his person, it is conjectured by some he have hired
a room somewhere in that neighbourhood. The three keys
found in possession look not unlike the key of the room
hired, a key of a closet, ant] a key of a box ; al:„ however, re.
Mains a mystery, and willttill con lint.e so among many.
Since writing the aboYe we have been lava ured with the
Perusal of a letter from Edinburgh, which came by post this
morning (Saturday) And also a description of the deceased,
handed to us by Mr. Symes, who attended him in his illness.

the subject. I ant satisfied, however, that this veraen cannot
have been the criminal alluded to, m you mention having
been ut Eastbourne since September or October last, 'whereas
there cannot be the least doubt that Borthwick was at Dublin
and Belfast in February and March last. I beg, therefore,
that the inhumation of the deceased body may be no longer

TITE GREtKg.

Fxtract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at
Zante, dated June 14.
" The Maltese brig •Superba, CARAVANNAI
which sailed from this place about ten dap ago,
laden with provisions for the Motea Castles, %las
captured by the Greeks, and -carried into Mosso-
fungi, where her cargo was taken out ; she has
since arrived here, having been given up and her
freight paid. June 20.—A division of the
Turkish fleet, consisting of about 44 sail, among
which. it is supposed were 15 frigates, passed by
this Island on the 17th inst. for Patras and the
Gulf of Lepanto. It is reported, that on their
arrival off Missolongi, they took possession of all
•bdats and vessels they found there, and carried
them to Patras, or up the Gulf. The Master of
on# of these vessels, tinder lonian colours, who
made his escape in a small boat, reports, that he
had money on board to the amount of 3,000 dol.
It is not yet-known Nviatt is the extent of the cap-
tures they have made, or if they succeeded in tak-
ing the Greek boats which were cruizing in that
neighbourhood, In consequence of the blockade
having been broken up, this Government again
grants clearances direct for Patras. July 3d, The
Ttirkish fleet is now cruising oft' Missoloughi,
and up the Gulf of Lepanto, under the com-
mand of the Captain Pacha. The lonian vas-
seld and boats which the squadron had taken
possession of, were all given up a few days ago,
and the property restored, it having been proved
that their clearances and papers were in due
order. There are four small Greek row-boats
cruizing opposite Missoloughi, which have taken
the lonian brig Medona di Syso ; a large Austrian
brig, the Minzio, Penesich, an fordan boat, and a
Malteie, Speronasa, which sailed from this port for
Patras. The lonian and Maltese vessels hating
taken out their regular clearances for vatrasi
were immediately given up without any of the
cargoes being touched, but the Austrian vessel
and cargo have been condemned. The Greeks
have discharged the cargo into boats, and carried
it into Missolongi, in defiance of the Turkish
eruizers. Under the cargo, which consisted
chiefly of flour and rice, was found ammunition,
besides 500 dtdlars in cash, so that the vessel and
cargo may be estimated at twenty-fiver thousand
dollats."
