APPREIIENSION
OF JAMES HILL FIELD, eau EILvEa, THE Dram,
ItECTION MAN.

Hall, of the public 'office, Union Hall, received a warrant
specially directed to him, for the apprehension of the above
noted character, and another person not yet in custody, for a
burglary committed on the premises of Henry Sewell, Esq.
at Blechingly, in Surrey, on the 17th December.
Mr. Sewell on the above evening received information that a
cart and horse had been seen ira a chalk pit on a stmaill corn-
men, near his house. Mr. S.. paid no attention to this
telligence, imagining that the can belonged probably to some
trampers. However, about twelve o'clock at night, he was
awoke by the noble of persons on the premises, as if
endeavouring to break open a door; he got up and
took , his
,pistols, which he recollected were out of order ;
he then returned to his room and loaded his gun, which he
fired on getting into the garden, when be heard some persons.
run off. On proceeding towards the common, he found a
cart, containing five hundred weight of lead, which bad been
stolen from his premises. Mr. Sewell sent for Brown, a
constable, at Alesterham, who, could gain no trace of the
robbers. The Rev. Mr. Kendrick, a Altagiamite of that dis-
trict, issued his warrant to Hall, and he dispatched 'Pople and
Rice, two Union-ball officers, in pursuit of them. These Mb.'
cers for the last fortnight have been active .itt their endeavours"
to gain information respecting Field ant his accomplices ; and
on Tuesday, Rice succeeded in apprehending the former, at
lilt lodgings, Sir-street, Lambeth.
The officer took his prisoner to. Blecitiogly, there to be iden-
tified, which the ostler of an inn at Afesteeliatrewas able to do
the prisoner and his companion having Slept at his master's
beuse the night preceding the tobbery.
These burglars had gone down to Blechingly for the purpose
of robbing the church-yard, but bting disappointed in that ob.
ject, committed the robbery in question. •
Field was fully committed to take his trial at the next Sur.
re y Assizes.
Great praise is due to the officers for their zeal in this bu-
siness.

TRISECTION OF THE SLIERIDAN,
Principal of the Academy, 68, Stephen-street,
Dublin, has invented a mathematical instru-
ment, by means of which this problem, hitherto
considered impossible, is solved, with the
greatest facility ; it will trisect any assigned
arch, involving the consideration of no higher
curve than the circle, with one chord and t
diameter. This instrument has been submitted
to the Royal Irish Academy, who have returned
Mr. SHERIDAN thanks, by their Librarian, the
ltev. Dr. ROE, for the invention. The instru-
ment may be seen any day at Mr. SHERIDAN'S.
The spirit of speculation and improvement ex.
tends itself so rapidly in this highly-favoured
watering-place,that we have almost weekly to re
cord some act of great public importance. We now
have the pleasure to inform our readers that 50
acres of that delightfully situated vale surround..
big the ferny-yard about half-way between the
Marine Parade and the Race-courae, is immedi-
ately to be walled in, and the ground to be taste.
fully laid out for tea and pleasure gardens, which,
with a sum to be expended on superb and appro-
priate buildings, and forming a wide and commo-
dious road to the sea, will form another elegant
retreat and recreation for our fashionebles, and,
we sincerely hope, realize the most sanguine
wishes Itlld expectations of the promoters and
principals in this truly speculative and extensive
investment.---(Brighton chronicle.)
On Wednesday the Bth a party of °facers
from Newhaven, assisted by a dragoon and
Mr. F. STONE, the comptroller's clerk, fell in
with a gang of smugglers laden with ee,k,
of spirits, in the parish of Beddingham, n hen
edesperate resistance was made, but the officers,
after hard and real fighting, succeeded in cap-
turing sixteen casks of spirits. During the
affray one of the smugglers had his hand sev,t re-
ly cut ; one of the officers' sword was broken,
and that pint remaining in his possession wise
covered with blood, so that his antago-
nist must have been wounded; another presented
his pistol, which scaoped, or his opposers would
have paid dear for tkpir determined oppositiott to
the officers in the performance of their duty. We
trust that this lawless conduct will be frlivt by
proper increase of force to counteract sikch pro.
cecdings,—( Brighton Gazette.)

[VI 14 TIMES.]
By the same conveyance which brought 'Fues•
drty's ►'rench papers, we received a private letter,
which states that the Minister• of Foreign Affairs
ws's in hourly expectation- of a courier from
'Madrid., as M,' de La Garde, in his last Note,
which reached Paris on Sunday, had promised to
send- €►pother communication in two days. We
learn also, that M. Pon() di Bprgo has caused
the three Notes of Russia, Prussia, and Austria
to, be priMed, and intends to publish them imme.
diately. They will scarcely repay the expellee
oVprinting ; for the circular already published
contains of course the marrow of these egregious

documents.- .Our correspondent further informs

Quvrard was called on last Tuesday before

Paris Journals to the 15th inst. reached us
yesteiday, by Express. 'they do not confirm
the assertion of the QUOildieWie, that the answer
of the Spani.di Government to the French note
had been received. The Drapery, Blanc and
the other Ultra Papers continne t.Q speculate on
the supposed violation of the territory of France,
and cannot conceal their delight at the horrors
with which they state that occurrence to have
been pccompanied, conceiving that the ipnre
terrible it appears, the more powerfully it will
assist their purpose, and cbntribute to render
war between the two countries inevitable,—
That the French territory, however, was not
violated, has been cleaily explained by the
Journal des Daats, which;' from its connection,
with the Ministers, must be considered good
atilhorify on the matter. And that the act which
has been represented as a violation, was,attended
with the circumstances of cruelty which have
been deseribed, continues to be denied in so many
quarters, thn considerable doubt must exist on,
the subject. At all events, supposing the worst
have been the car,e, the, offence, us it has been
Astly observed by an intelligent contemporary,
could only be charged on the Officer by whom it
was committed, and not on the nation and army
to w hich he belonged, unless on complaint having
been faid before them, they should have refused
to make duo reparation; and should thus have
appropriated his act to themselves.

Th, more we look at every thing which has
hitherto emanated from the Congress of Verona,
and at the same time, reflect on the progress
made by the variOns, nations of Europe, within
the last twenty"years, in knowledge of their po-

wt rt. roLeivett ye,,ftrfiay. One; or i WO .1 °mull Is
-pretili that the aoskvvr laf Spain to the *lmo of
the- Vrt.nrit Government reached 'Paris, but with-
out preteudin4 to knowany thing of its coutentL.
It is scarcely possible that it could have arrived.

The mistake may have arisen from confounding
with it the acknowledgment of the receipt, which
must have been made without delay, and was
forwarded to Paris by the French Ambassador.
The chief topic upon which the war Journals vent
their political bile is the alleged violation of the
French territory. After this !.‘ barbarous and
anti-social act," they say, petice or fellowship,
between France and Spain Li out of the question.
There is, they say, no longer wanting ab act
of provocation. It is a plain proof how little,
even with the' worst faith, they can charge
upon the Spaniards, with the least hope of
belief, when they grasp this trifling circum-
stance as the main prop of their declamations.
The statement of it, in its true colour, has already
been given in our extracts from the Paris Papers.
"An inconsiderable party of the Constitutional
troops entered a frontier village of doubtful
-ownership—obtained guides, with the sanction of
the local authority, and committed not the_ least
violence. Even if the Spanish Officer had COM-
prpmised himself, that would not commit his Go-
vernmeht—and the total absence of damage or
offence would make it a trivial matter of expla-
nation. The shock which the French Ultrati
affect to have received from the mere violation of
the soil is rather entertaining. One would think
France had an untrodden purity of at least three
centuries, instead of having had her soil so re-
cently trampled by Cossacks.
