POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

CHARGE' OF ARSON.
BOW-STREET.—Robert Ball, who stands charged with hav-
ing set fire to a room which he occupied in the house of Mr.
Fearn, tailor, in the Strand, yesterday underwent a second
examination. Mr. Alley and Mr. Harmer were in attendance
for the prisoner, and a solicitor appeared to conduct the prose.
cution on the part of the Sun Fire-office.
Mr. Fearn repeated the evidence which he gave on the former
occasion. In cross examination, an attempt was made to shake
his testimony, and to insinuate that the fire had been oc-
casioned by himself; but this failed, inasmuch as it appeared
that he was not insured, anti could not obtain any advantage
whatever by such an act. The discovery and subsequent pre•
vention of the progress of the flames, was proved by Mrs.
Davis, a lodger in the house, and by Win. Bond. a tailor, who
was at work in a room over that in which thl flames burst forth,
and who furnished the prisoner with a light shortly before the
alarm was created. Mr. Woods proved that he had been called
up to the prisoner's room; that he broke open the door, and
with water succeeded in extinguishing the flames; ho also
proved that he had discovered fire in different places. Part of
the things which had been burnt, were also produced.
The grounds of suspicion against the prisoner being ex.
tremely strong, he was committed to take his trial.
UNioN-Hatr..—A Medical student, named 'Rooker, was
charged with parading up and down in front of the Cobourg
Theatre, on Saturday night, dressed in women's clothes. His
tall and lanky look attracted much notice, and one of the
officers requested that she would move off, he conceiving it to
be a visit from a girl of the town, nicknamed the " Monu-
ment." In a squeaking voice the defendant said that he had
as much right to walk there as any body- else ; but his black
whiskers discovering his sex, her Ladyship was walked oft' to
the watch-house, followed by an immense crowd, who desired
he would let the Lady go.—The defendant said, that on the
night in question he was at a party, and a number of ladies
being present, it was proposed that he should dress himself up
in one of their clothes. An interchange of dress then took
place—the lady putting on his, and he the lady's. After having
exhibited himself for some time, to the great amusement of the
company, he thought he would have a " bit of a lark," and
accordingly slipped, unperceived, out of the house, and walked
down to the Coburg Theatre, where he was, so unfortunate as
to be picked up by a constable, and lodged in the watch-house.
He now saw the folly of the thing, and hoped the Magistrate
would look over it. The Doctor was their discharged, and the
clothes given up to hint, on his promise of not publicly appear-
ing in them again.
QUEEN-SQUARE.—A red-headed, broad-shouldered Irish-
mant with a bandage over his right eye, and a longitude of
heard that would honour a pubescont Jew, was brought up be-
fore the Magistrate on a charge of riotous conduct. Mrs.
Fleming, a comfortable-looking matron, proprietress of a mis-
cellaneous lodging-house, opened the case against the prisoner.
" The man is a coming-and.going lodger of mine, your Wor-
ship ; he axed me to shew him to bed; I did that ; in the room
he laid hands on me, and hauld about my clothes, and --."
Prisoner—" Oh, Mrs. Fleming I" Mrs. Fleming—" Yes,
you did; I tauld him to gi'e o'er his gallimaufry ; he wad na ;
then cam a row, and then the watchman, and that's all.
Mr. MARKLAND—Was he drunk 2—Mrs. Fleming—Not
precisely, your Worship; he was freshisit ; betwixt and be-
tween; titstneither. drunk nor sober. The watchman kens the rest.
The watchman deposed that lie heard the prisoner cry watch ;
went to his assistance; the prisoner insisted that lure. Fleming
should repay hint the price of the bed (fourpence); was exces-
sively riotous ; abused every, body, and struck the watchman.
Mr. MAUKI.AND (to the prisoner) From what part do you
come ?—O'Gorman From the watch-house, your honour.
Mr. MARKLAND: I know that; but I mean—O'Gorman :
Och, I know ; from Ireland, your honour.
Mr. MAW:LAND: I know that too; where were you be-
' fore you came to Mrs. Fleming's ?—O'Gorman: At Lewisham.
Mr. MAnYLAND: What have you to say against this
charge ?-o'Gorman : What's the use in my saying any thing ?
Mr. :UAW:LAND: Very little, I fear.--O'Gorman: Sure I
can't swear against three of them.
Mr. MAIIKLAND: 1 don't want you to swear.--O'Gorman:
They'd sell God Almighty for sixpence. 1 am as innocent as
the pig unborn.
Mr. MARYLAND : Yon struck the watchman ?-o'Gorman :
called him to help me ; he came up and tack me into cus-
tody. Was that the way to help me ? •
Mr. MAIIKLAND—I must'. put you up, unless you find
somebody to answer for your good behavtour.-o'oorman—
rs. Fleming will answer for me.—Mrs. Fleming—Nei I whine.
O'Gorman—Ves you will, jewel' ; you'll tell his honour 111
be on my good behaviour, and be a good boy and take care of
me, and I'll do the like good turn for you when you get stuck
among these peelers. Yes you will " answer for me. 1-311.5.
Fleming hesitated—O'Gorman whispered—Mrs. Fleming still
wavered and shook her head.—O'Gorman took her hand, looks
ed significantly into her eyes,
" And winked and squeezed unutterable things."

Alcohol occasions a feeble coagulation, or rather
renders the juice more easy of filtration. • The
recent juice slightly reddens litmus. Its boiling
temperature is the, same as that of water. Ex-
posed to heat, it exhibits at first the same phe-
nomena as cow's milk. A pellicle 'is formed at
its surface, which prevents the disengagement of
aqueous vapours. On removing the successive
pellicles, and evaporating it at a gentle heat, an
extract is obtained resembling franchipane ; when
the action of heat is longer continued, oily drops
are formed, which increase according as the water
is carried off, and finally afford an oily liquid, in
which a fibrous matter floats, which become dry
and horny, or the temperature of the oil is raised.
Then is diffused the best characteristic of meat
frying in grease. By the action of heat, there-
fore, the milk is separable into two parts, the one
fusible, and of a fat nature, the other fibrous, and
of an animal nature. If the evaporation of the
vegetable milk is not pushed toe far, and if the
fusible matter be not raised to ebullition, it may

when the fusion is completed, the thermometer

gr. 0.817), dissolves it totally by ebullition, and
it precipitates on cooling. It saponifies with
caustic potash, . anti with ammonia forms a soapy
emulsion. Nitric acid heated on it, dissolves
and converts it into oxalic acid. It resembles
refined bees wax, and servos for making candle*.
The fibrous substance is procured by decanting
the melted waxy matter, washing off the last
portion of it with an essential oil, squeezing the
residuum, and boiling it a long time in water, t 4
volatilize the oil, the odour of which cannot, how-
ever, be thereby completely discharged. Thus
obtained, the fibrous matter is brown, hav-
ing been somewhat altered by the tempera.,
ture of the incited wax. It is tameless. Pineed.
on a hot iron it twists itself and :wells up,
and is carbonized, diffusing the smell of broiled
meat. Alcohol does not dissolve it ; and hence
by treating the extract with the vegetable milk
repeatedly with hot alcohol, the fibrous matter
is obtained white and flexible. In this state, it
dissolves readily -in diluted muriatic acid. It
possesses the same properties, therefore, as ani-
mal fibrine. Fibrine had already been formed
in the milky juice of the carica papaya, by %Tau-
quell:). Besides these two main constituents,
the vegetable milk contains a little sugar,
a magnesian salt (not an arrtato), and water.
It contains neither easeum nor caoutchonc. By
incineration, some silica, lime, phosphate of lime,
and magnesia were obtained. The ‘fax forms
about one-half the weight of the milk.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(Fro►» As Monittur of Saturday, Aug. 21.)

PAnis, Ave. /0.--Aathentic news from Cadiz,
dated tith August, state, that a party of 50 revo-
sititioraisto, who came out of Gibraltar,_ surprised
the town of Tarifa on the morning of the 3d. The
Covernht was at A lgesiras, and the Spanish gar-
eiSon had not time to defend itself. The revolu-
tionists killed an officer who attempted to defend
the Island, and immediately armed seine male-
factors, who were confined in the prisons. On
the first news of this event, the Spanish General
O'Donnell who commands the camp at St. Roch,
sepia detachment against the place.
4., soon as. this affair was known at Cadiz,
Lieut.-General Foissac Latour gave orders to
Colonel d'Astorg to proceed to Tarifa with a
battalion of infantry anti a squadron of cavalry,
to retake the place. Ills Majesty's corvettes
Diana and Pomona have sailed to Cadiz to sup-
fort the attack, and to hinder the revolutionists
from escapiug. There is every reason to believe
that the simultaneous employment of these forces
will have sufficed to chastise the authors of this
lead attempt, which is said to be conducted by
Colonel Valdez, or by Ordennez.
A similar attempt was made upon the little
town of Estapona, near Malaga, but the inhabit.
anti having timely notice, took arms and repulsed
the Revolutionists.

ORDINANCES OF THE KING.

Louis, &c. &c.

We have ordained and ordain u follows:

Art:l...There shall be formed a Committee of Revision for
the purpose of collecting and verifying the Arehee, Decrees,
and other regulatory decisions issued previously to the 're-
establishment of our authority in our kingdom.
t. The Committee of Revision shall prepare successively
according to the order of the subjects, projects of Ordinances,
abrogating especially and definitively, such of those decisions
as it shall judge ought not to be maintained.
It dull also prepare, and in the same order, projects of
Ordinencei destined to replace such of these dispositions as
shall have been found useful, and which ought to be preserved.
3. The Committee shall be composed of twelve Members
and a Secretary; the' latter functions shall be exercised by a
Mello des requites in the Council of State.
4. Appoints the Members of the Committee.
Another Ordinance fixes the vacation of the Court of Ac.
oompts for 11324.

PARIS, AUG. 21:—There is very little genero.'
sity in some Journals, in which the blank pages
of our Journal are held up to ridicule. If Wg
have not filled our sheet, it was because we want
ad matter, though we could have sent articles
enough to fill several Journals. We do not know
our Censors—we know nothing of what instruc-
tions they have received, and we cannot even
guess at their tenor by the retrenchments already
made. We were obliged, therefore, to leave
those places vacant which we could not fill with-
out violating the law, and then the Journals
%Aids censure us for the vacant places, would
have shouted for joy if we were condemned for
having done • it. In 1815, when the Censorship
was established, a Censor was appointed for each
journal; explanations could be entered into with
11101,-11nd without giving up his secret, he allowed
-.the ,intentions of the Government to be divined.
Ile was not only an overseer, he WAS a guide.—
.A.t present, wherever the Censorship exists in
Germany, it is exercised in this manner. When
the Governments suppose themselves obliged to
.haVe recourse to some guarantee, they have at
least the wish not to make it the ruin of writers.

Podterity will find it difficult to believe the enthusiasm excited
among the Greeks by the disasters of Naar*. There Is not a
single AN:lced vessel in the whole Archipelago which did not
immediately put to sea, to do whatever-mischief could be done
to the Turks wherever they could be met with, • and advsn.
toirously attacked. It is now known that a conspiracy against
thc Cross hac been planned by the agents of the Christian
Powers. What can the Franks of Smyrna answer, when it is
proved that they were the authors of the calamities of Ipsara ?
What can they reply when they are told that, not content with
having supplied the Captain Pacha with plans, with having
corrupted the mercenaries who betrayed theipsariots, they also
piloted the barbarians to the place of landing? What can he
said to 3utitify dm different European snuadronn which did not
cucemir one single Christian ? At this moment there are in
tilt Turkish fleet 10 'Walden and 14 Austrian vessels, trun•
sporting pr ov Worts from Egypt to the fleet of the Captain
ache! Thus the Greeks Egypt
not only the Barbarians of
orkey In Europe, Asia, and Africa, for enemies, but the
ships of the Christian Powers are also opposed to diem, which
is doubly pernicious to them, as they are obliged to respect
their 11-iga.
