NEW WORK by the AUTHOR of VALENTINE VOX.
Now ready, price One Shilling, the Third Part of
GEORGE ST. GEORGE JULIAN,
THE PRINCE.
By the Author of " Valentine Vox, the Ventriloquist,"
" Stanley There," &e.
With Three highly finished Illustrations on Steel.
" This is indeed a most, valuable work, and as interesting as
it is valuable ; rich in conception, novel in execution ; the re-
sult of profound observation, cast in a humorous mould. It
should be read by every class. Neither the aristocracy—from
time immemorial the peculiar prey of ingenious knaves—nor
those who are occupied in mercantile pursuits, should fail to
peruse it. George himself is a lair, upright, honcurable
man ; extremely generous and benevolent; and his as-
seciatien with persons of an opposite ca‘te is ascribed
to accident purely, not to choice. The Soup Asso-
ciation in the that place is irresistible, and the quick-
silver project is richly described ; but • while the cele-
brated Po} ais bubble is commenced with a spirit which
crettvd the conviction that the author is conversant with all
the minutiae of that memorable scheme, the most striking chap-
ter which has hitherto appeared is that wherein it is proved to
demonstration that, even in the present day, any man by
causing himself to be indicted, may with perfect impunity com-
mit the crime of bigamy, and secure to himself the property of
his victim. The grand design of the work is, to put the inex-
perienced on their guard ; and the well known tact of the author
affords a sufficient guarantee that that praiseworthy object will
be effectually accomplished. To the commercial world it is in-
valuable, and must becoMe univzrsally popular when its exist-
ence shall have become universally known."—Argus.

The Morning Post of this day observes, with reference
to Lord Morpeth's.Bill now under'diseuasion in the House
cf Commons :—" We will assume that Ministers may
carry the second readirg cf their Bill by the tnejurity of
four or five upon which they reckon. They must still
remain as certain as they are now that the Bill will he re-
jected. We might assume that the five pound frar.ciiiac
clause a be carried, which it will not, in the Committee
tf the Hausa of Gnomons ; and still Ministers must re-
main as cert tin as they arc at this mown', that the Bill
will be rejected. The warmest advocate or Ministers has
not the effrontery to pretend that they have proposed the
measure with the expectation that it will become law, and
with an honest view to its i.racfcal application. The
Morning Chronicle, recur. ieg to Lord M irpeds's Irish
Registration Bill, remaiks as fcllaws :a—" The Bill is is
every respect so immeasurably superior to that of Lord
Stanley, that bitter 'motility to the pdaple of Ireland, and
a determiaation to getarn that country by the bayonet,
can alone cbtaia him supporters. His remedy is werse
than the disease, while she Government measure goes to
the root of the evil." The Morning fiend' observes, in
the course of a leading article suggested by the late melan-
choly catastrophe off the coast of Liverpool:—" We
haveof ten expressed our opinion that the Legislature has long
beets supinely negligent in providing proper, and not
only , but in tier practical working.

few years °et:tined ; but tho cruel evils of a shameful and
reek' mss syStem of deportation to our colonies and . else-
where, still remain, not unmitlgatcd, but unremovial.
All a counts concur ia showing that the passengers on
hoard the Guse'aor Fenner LA c,c of a very superior claw
of emigrants. If blame in his instance exist anywhere—
and that question we caenot pretend at present to deter-
mine—then is the reapanaitility,da offie"al quarters most
tremendous. ....Mach good may folio* from a de-le-Mined
and strict investig ttion into all the particulara and rela-
tions of this meencholy catastrophe." The Times thua
allude.; to Lord Ho-wick's and Mr. Wood's late speeches
its the Commons on Lard Morpeth's B.11:—" Since they
are hopeless of any fivour from the Conservatives, and
find that tlio biitile is tuning to a close, they feel
themss hes ob iged •to retrace the steps by which they
were not long ago separated from the Whig-Radicals, to
av mitt being sent to Coventry ley both. Hence their re-
cant paltry exhibition."

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—CARLISLE, FEB. 23.
Harrison Flather was indicted for stealing five sovereigns,
and other matters, the property of Morris Davis.
The prosecutor is a Pole, but has for a period of about 15
months carried on business as a furrier in the ci'y of Car:isle :
the prisonee is the teacher of writing in the grammar-school.
Mr. Davis being very imperfectly acquainted with the English
language, especially with the mode of writing it, as well as of
keeping. accounts in the English manner, was induced to em.
ploy the prisoner to give him the necessary information. In
the month of August last . Mr. Davis became attached to a
young lady of the name of Moore, resident in Carlisle, with
whom, however, he had no acquaintance further than having
on two or three occasions seen her in his shop as a customer.
On this basis, however, he ventured to write, and being unable
to compose his epistle in English himself, the assistance of his
friend Flather became indispensable. Two letters were sent,
which did not, however, come immediately to the hands of
Miss Moore, who was absent from Carlisle on a visit, but
immediately on receiving them she returned them to
Mr. Davis. Two days after Mr. Davis met her in the
street, and asked her if she was aware his letters had been re-
turned? She replied she was, and there, so far as Miss
Moore was concerned, all correspondence between them ceased.
Shortly afterwards, however, Mr. Davis received a letter, pur-
port.ng to come from Miss Moore, and informing him that the
letters had been returned at her parents' desire, expressing re-
gret at the circumstance, and a wish to renew the correspond-
ence. Such at least were the contents of the letter, as read
by Flather, whose assistance was called its for the purpose. Mr.
Davis of course wrote in reply, and Flather undertook its de-
livery. In this way about thirty letters were received, all.
containing protestations of love and affection, which grew more
intense as they proceeded, and many of them (what might have
excited Mr. Davis's suspicions) making requests for money.
With these requests Mr. Davis always complied, and the en-
closure was always committed to Flather 's bands for safe
delivery. In this way money to the amount in the whole
of from 801. to 901. was handed over. Matters went on in this
way till the month of December. Mr. Davis being induced
to be satisfied without any more direct communication with
the object of his attachment, by the entreaties contained in the
letters purporting to come from her, that he would not en-
deavour to see her lest her parents should become acquainted
with the circumstance. There were, however, at his request
several appointments for an interview, but these were
always countermanded on some plausible pretext. All the
letters received were carefully treasured up by Mr. Davis,
and placed in a bundle together. One day, however, the
bundle was left for a moment in his private room while he
was called into the shop, leaving Flather there. It was for-
gotten at the moment, and when inquired for, the bundle
was missing. An anxious search was made, a reward
was offered, but all in vain, and Mr. Davis dismissed his woi k-
people in consequence of his suspicion of their dishonesty.
Two snore letters, however, were received subsequently, and
were produced at the trial, when it appeared little wonder that
Mr. Davis had been obliged to call in the prisoner's assistance
to decipher them, there being hardly a word from one end to
the other that could be deciphered by anybody. The first of
these contained, as the prisoner read it, a further request for
money—namely, 101., for a purpose which made the request
irresistib'e—namely, to hire a coach to take her to Dumfries,
where she would meet Mr. Davis, and become his wife. Mr.
Davis could not command the 101. at the moment, but inclosed
Si., and promised the remainder on the next day. This letter
also Flath. r took away to deliver, and returned in about ten
minutes, saying he had placed it in the hands. of Miss Moore
herself. The next day a letter was received through the post,
which was equally illegible with the former, but which the
prisoner's translation made to say that the money had been re-
ceived. Before, however, the remaining 51. were forwarded,
Mr. Davis learned that Miss Moore had been for some time ab-

sent in Liverpool, and that consequently he could not be
the party replying to his letters. He mentioned this to
Rather, who was very indignant at the charge thus implied
against his honesty, and unmediately threatened an action
for defamation; and the day following a letter, intimating his
intention to commence legal proceedings, was received by the
prosecutor. He, however, had in the mean time applied to
an attorney, and on inquiry a warrant was issued for the pri-
soner's apprehension. On searching his house there was
found a shining marked with the letter A, similar to the one
which the prosecutor had enclosed to Miss Moore, and a so-
vere;gn, which the prosecutor recognized as one which had
been forwarded in a similar manner, and which he had marked
in testing its goodness. Cards and pink paper similar to those
in which the sovereigns were enclosed were also found. The
shilling in question was also spoken to by the party who paid
it to Mr. Davis ; and further evidence was given of, the pri-
soner being frequently in the prosecutor's house, of his bring-
ing letters purporting to be from Miss Moore, and taking
away others in reply, containing enclosures of money.
Miss Moore* deposed to.the receipt of the two first letters, of
their boi,g returnel, and of there having been no further com-
munication whatever between them. _ _ .
