OLD BAlLEY—('l'ms DAY.)

John Gibson, the young man who was tried.and
acquitted on an• indictment for a • burglary in the house of
Dennis Doyle, was again put to the bar on an indictment
charging him with burglariously breaking and entering the
dwelling-house of Benjamin Blaby, the Thames Police-officer,
and stealing therein a quantity of casks, staves, &c. on the
of February.
The witnesses for the prosecution failed to bring home the
charge to the prisoner, in consequence of a person named Walker
having shpt in the same room with him, and the Jury acquitted
him.
_ •

Mr. A.DoLPirus said there was another indictment against
the prisoner for stealing a stock and- a centre-bit, the pro-
perty of the East India Company, but as the Jury had
acquitted him on the ground above stated, he should not
proceed with it. There was another indictment against him,
however, for receiving the property in question, knowing it to
be stolen.
On this question considerable argument arose, which ended
in the Court proceeding with the case, and the prisoner was
accordingly arraigned on it, which charged him with feloniously
receiving certain goods, knowing them to be stolen, the pro-
perty of Dennis Doyle.
The evidence adduced on this occasion was merely a repiti-
tion of that given on the former trials.
Mr. LAW submitted that this was not evidence to go to the
Jury, that the prisoner received the goods. This was over-
ruled, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty:

before Next Tuesday, 20th April, it must be
from their not knowing of the opportunity of

rantees that all who apply before 20th April,
may receive back at least the value of a -PIO
Prize at the Office where they purchased, if they
miss all the more valuable ones, and £20,000
is sure to be added to the first Prize drawn ;
thus the utmost that will be risked is £5. I Os.
in a. Whole Ticket, and Us. in a Sixteenth, other
Shares in proportion, whilst, from the advance in
the Funds, these trifling sums may absolutely
gain considerably more than a £20,000 Prize.

SOLbM Buis DicERE FALSUJI dUDEJT

LONDON,
THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 182.4.

In a preceding column we have given extracts
from the Foreign Journals received since our last.
An article, in the Journaldes Debuts, represents the
condition of Spain as being still very distracted ;
and, consistently with the too probate design of
tl►e French Ministers to put forward pretences for
conti►►uing their troops in the Peninsula, even
in the Paris Ministerial Paper, the Spanish
Royalists are unceremoniously execrated as the
authors of the disturbances ! What can be more
amiable and disinterested, than the conduct of
France, in thus keeping an army in Spain, for
the sole purpose of protecting the persecuted
Constitutionalists from the murderous fury of her
own old and worthy Allies, the fanatical rabble
who composed the bands of the Faith ? All the
world, after this, must surely admit the wisdom
of that policy which first suggested to the Cabinet
of Paris the rr►agnanimous idea of over-running
the territory of a neigbouring and an unoffending
nation, and must be filled with admiration of that
unexampled disinterestedness and generosity
which France now displays in preventing that
very party from exercising power in Spain, whose
investment with authority was her alleged motive
for entering on the war.

It appears that the custody of all the posts in
the garrison of Madrid, had actually been given
up by the French to the troops of the Faith,
preparatory to the departure of the former from
the capital, when suddenly a new disposition
took place ;—the Spanish soldiers were displaced
from the posts entrusted to them, and the French
once more mounted guard throughout the city.
The news of the disturbances at Cordova,
Valencia, Seville, &c. which so conveniently
arrived just before the intended departure of
the remains of the French garrison, no doubt
had a considerable influence in producing this
change of measures.

A Bayonne letter, received last night, contains
a report of an affray at Puycerda, between a
party of Spanish Royalists and a corps of French
troops, who came to take possession of the place.
The Spaniards forcibly resisted this measure, and
the result was an action, in which some blood
was spilt.

There are several reasons for believing that the
accounts to which we adverted yesterday, re-
specting the disasters said to have befallen
the Patriot forces in Peru, were not only greatly
exaggerated, but that there is no foundation
whatever for the alleged defeat and of Ge-
nera! BOLIVAR. We shall be happy if the more
favourable views of the actual condition of the
Independents are speedily confirmed.

Boston Papers to the 21st March, and New
York to the 19th March, arrived this morning ;
but they do not contain any further information
from South America than that previously re-
ceived.

NEW ENGLAND COFFEE-HOUSE, APRIL 15.
The American ship Emerald, Capt. Fox, sailed
from Liverpool, and arrived at Boston in 16
days, and is now arrived at Liverpool in 21 days.

Curl-, Twelve o'clock.--Consols opened this
morning At 961-i for the Account, and for Money
9G;, with little or no businrss doing ; nor is it

expected that any thing of consequence will be
done until'after the blolidays. Ido not hear of
any Express from Paris up to this hour, nor are
there any reports in the City.
FOREIGN MARKET.--Very little business doing
in the above Market this morning, except in set-
tling the accounts, it being Settling Day for all
Foreign Securities.

From an account just printed by Order of the
House of Commons, it appears that the Foreign
Tonnage, imported into the Port of London,
m 269,834 tons ;—in 1815;
to amounted, in itttoiilsB;l-4, to
in
1822, to 106,099 tons ;
and in 1823, to 161,705 tons.

The Brazil packet has arrived, bringing Ga.
tales an'd letters from , Rio de Janeiro to the
17th of February. The French Consul-General
at Rio had addressed a note to the Brazilian Mi-
nister for Foreign Affairs, stating that the King
of FRANcr having been informed .that many fami-
liesz of distinction in Brazil intended to send
their sons to Paris to finish • their education, his
Majesty had ordered him to afford the pa-
rents all. possible- assistance, not only in
procuring for the young people, even
inwarbut also in facilitating the
ships
o ar
passage
means of correspondence. The Minister is
ordered by the EmPettoft to signify to the Consul
how muck he is gratified by the wise and generous
proceeding of the King of F,RA:4icE. The letters
from Rio represent Lord CocuttAtic as likely
soon to quit the Brazilian service ; but as this
belief rests chiefly on the difficulty he had expir..-
rienced of •procuring a condemnation of the .Por-
tuguese vessels he had captured, it seems to hare
very slight foundation, no decision having been
pronounced by the Board appointed for that pur-
pose. Lady CocuitANE and her daughter have
arrived in England by the packet. This ar.H
rival has not furnished any authentic
intelli-
gence of the situation of Peru. Some alarm
was excited in the City yesterday afternoon, by
the contents of one of the letters from Rio,
which stated that a vessel had arrived from Lima,
which brought unfavourable news, but with-
out any details, or the mention of any time or
place where the supposed disasters had occurred.,
On consulting the list of arrivals, however, it
appears that the only vessel entering the port of
Rio from Lima, was the Union, which had been
four days in the harbour at the departure of the
packet, • thereby allowing of course ample time
for any intelligence brought by her to become
generally known. She is also supposed to have
sailed from Callao as far back in date as.the 10th
of December, later advises than w hick, by ten
days, hays already reached England. The alarm
in this case, therefore, mast have been rrholly
without foundation.

THE KtNa.--•-Yester-Clay afternoon, about a
quarter before four o'clock, his MAJESTY left
his Palace in Pall-mall in his travelling carriage
and four for Windsor Castle.

The Dublin Star states,, that the Marquess of
WELLEsLEy's grandmother, and the grandfather
of Mr. DUDLEY COLLKY, a respectable tanner in
High-street, Dublin, were brother and sister.—
But .surely this is no stain upon the ancestry of
the Noble Marquess. From these joint families
descended CoLLEY Ciunxtt, a strong proof that
frith genius. CoLLEY
tist, a wit, a good
an
apir:igenaDter;dlin
scholar, and au admirable actor. The improved
liberality of the times renders the latter capacity
by no means a blot on his escutcheon. His
answer to CoNYEits -MIDDLETON'S Life of ClcEao
proves that he was a scholar, a man of learning,
and a judicious critic
and that his abilities
provoked the ridicule of Poet, who had treated
him unjustly, and drew
on himself a retort from
CianEtt, which, according to RicnAansos, the
with agony, though he' affected to read it with
made the Poet writhe
composure.
Painter, a friend of oDt."1:::::m of LEEI)s had a more
pointed origin, for the head of the family was ap-
prentice to a Pin maker on London Bridge, who
by gallantly rescuing his master's daughter
from a watery grave,
Was married to her, and
his family by degrees rose to wealth and honour.
The story is related iu COLLINS'S Peerage. The
Dukes of LEEDS were too wise and too liberal
to affect to despise an origin founded upon huma-
nity and heroism.

The Prince of LvnucNcrx arrived at the resi-
dence of the Duchess of K ENT, at the King's
Palace, Kensington, on Monday morning from
abroad.

The Princess A ITGUSTA received visits yester-
day from the Duchess of GLoticEsTi.n. and the
Prince of LctmuNnEN.

Yesterday the Princess AuuusTA visited the
Princess Soi'HIA at Kensington.
On Monday and Tuesday 800 poor men and
women were relieved with his MAJ EST Y'S bounty,
called the Small Almonry,-at the Almonry Office,
Whitehall, which was delivered to the men and
women by Mr. llArtur, the Secretary to the
Lord High Almoner.

Last night Mr. DRAFFEN, one of the Cabinet
Messengers, arrived in town, with dispatches
from Sir CHARLES BAGOT, our Ambassador at St.
Petersbur;l►. Mr. D►tAVFEN performed the jour-
❑ey in the short space of 15 days, an i►►stance of
almost unprecedented rapidity, considering tl►e
distance.

Advices from Carthagena (Colombia) to the
Gth of February state, that the first steam-packet
ever seen on the Magdalena had crossed the bar
and entered the river. The first passengers she
conveyed up the river were Mr. ITENDEttsos,
the British Consul, and his family, who em.
barked in her for Honda. They had been heard
of from the town of Mompox, all well. The
passage up the Magdalena, owing to the currents
and the periodical swelling of the river, occu-
pies flout 40 to 50 days ; it is calculated that
the steam-vessel will accomplish it in fourteen.
Honda bring only three days' journey from Bo-
gota, there will then be required only seventeen
days to communicate between the capital of Co-
lombia and the Atlantic.
