BOW-STREET-O'l4lS 1) kY)

A young man of respectable appeal ance and connetiGn
named Antes Beai'a, was charged before Mr. Hall, with
embezzling the sum of Os., the property f Messrs Alder-
man Copeland and Garrett, porcelain and china rnanufac-
tuis rs, Portugal-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, his masters.
Alderman Copeland said that he was induced to give
the p: ironer in charge, In consequence of a representation
that had been made to him on his arrival in town this
inerning. The prisonet had been in his sersie- about
three months, as warehouseman, and it was his duty to
hand over to the clerk appointed Nr that purpose all
moneys taken for goods that he might dispose of. He
should have done so instantly. On the 15th instant, Mrs,
Booth, of Red Lion-square, sent her maid-servant to pur-
chase a hell dozen of plates, for which she had paid the
prisoner the sum in question, and which he appropriated to
his own use. As there were about forty servants in the
establishment, he considered it a justice due to them, as
well as to the public, to direct the prisoner to be appre-
hended on the charge.
Sophia Sydney, servant to Mrs. Booth, identified the
prisoner as the person who, on the day in question, be-
tween clever, and twelve o'clock, sold her the plates, for
which she paid him 95., and for which he gave her no
receipt. There was no person present when she paid him
the money.
Mre George Gerret, a clerk in the establishment cf the
prosecutors, proved that it was the duty of the prisoner to
hand over all moneys he might receive for goods, to have it
regularly entered in a book. Witness was not absent from
the establishment on the 15th instant, and the book prc-
duced was kept by him, in which there was no entry made
of the money in question. No other person could have
received the money, as the other clerk and witness's father
were absent, and in consequence of an application that had
been made yesterday, the prisoner, who had been dis-
charged since Monday last for other reasons, was taken
into custody. The prisoner heg on other occasions imme-
diately accounted for money on receiving it, as no person in
the service is allowed to keep a cash-book.
Tne prisoner said that on former occasions, when he was
employed by the same firm, the porters were suffered to
hold money in their hands two or three days.
Witness said that might have been the case two years
back, before he became clerk, but never since.
The prisoner begged leave to say that he was guilty,
and he expected that mercy would be shown to him by Al-
derman Copeland sod his partner.
Mr. Ilaen said he would not hold him down by such a
statement, as he had sot been previously cautioned as to
the consequences of making it.
The prisoner repeated that lie was guilty, and he threw
himself upon the clemency of his late employers.
Mr. FALL said that if the prosecutors overlooked such an
offence, there was every reason to suppose they would be
treated in a similar manner by their other servants, who
were very numerous.
The prisoner, who then appeared much affected, ex-
pressed a wish that he should be placed in another situa-
tion, where by his future good conduct he would prove
how penitent he was for the off nee he bad committed.
Mr. HALL said it was his duty to cnmmit him for trial,
and it would be for the Court to attend to such an appli-
cation.

Tne prisoner having signed his declaration was removed
from the bar.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THIS DAY.

John Collins, who has been twice remanded, was again
brought up for examination on the charge of being con-
cerned in robbing Mr. Gilbert Claud° Alzard, a foreign
gentleman of property, of eleven notes for 1,000 francs
each, while on board one of the Gravesend steam-bo .ts
It will be rem,mbered that John Davis, the landlord of
fte Clown public-house in Cranbourne-passage, Leicester-
.quare, was also charged with having passed four of the
stolen notes on the morning of the robbery, and held to
bail, himself in 2001. and two sureties in 1001. each, to ap-
pear when called on to ansa er any charge that might be
preferred against him. This day he was accordingly called
on his recognizences, but did not appear.
Mr. Clarkson, who attended on the part of the prosecu-
tion, prayed for an estreat of Davis's recognizance.
Mr. LONG, the presiding Magistrate, ordered the estreat
forthwith.

Mr. Alzard gave some further evidence relative to the
identification of the notes that had been traced.

Mr. LONG said that he had made up his mind to commit
the prisoner on the evidence already adduced ; but, after
some conversation with Mr. Clarkson, it was arranged that
the prisoner should be remanded until Monday, the 10th
of August next, in order to allow further time for inquiry,
and also to endeavour to re-apprehend Davis ; and the
Magistrate, not considering the evidence against Conolly
sufficient, ordered him to be discharged.

DEATH OF THE MOTHER OF THE LATE
REV. EDWARD lavnia.—Mrs. Irving, relict of the late Ga-
vin Irving, Esq., and mother of the late Rev. Edward Irving,
died at the residence of her son-in-law, Robert Dickson, Esq.,
at Coplaw-hill, near Glasgow, on the 9th of July, at the ad-
vanced age of 76. Her remains were conveyed to the family
vault at Annan, Dtmfriesshire.
The number of Spanish refugees who have con-
sented to enter the French service for Africa is much smaller
than was expected : out of 30,000, not 1,000 had entered
themselves at the date of the last accounts, but it was supposed
that the number would soon increase, as the Government had
given orders for assistance and encouragement to such persons
willing to enter the service, and withheld them from the other.
SUMMONS FOR POORS'-RATES.—INIPORTANT
TO MANUFACTURERS.-At the County Police Court, Heaton
Norris, yesterday (Friday), Mr. Samuel Richardson, manager
of the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank at Manchester,
and Mr. William Rhind, manager of the Manchester and
Liverpool District Bank at Stockport, appeared to show cause
why they refused to pay the sum of 129/. 10s. 6d. arrears of
Poors'-rates, awing by the above Banking Company, on account
of the extensive cotton mill and premises lately occupied by
Messrs. Brown and Powell, in Heaton Norris. Some time
since 'Messrs. Brown and Powell, who occupied the premises
quest on, became bankrupts, and a considerable amount
being owing to the Banking Company, the whole of the ma-
chinery fell into their hands, an the works were shortly after-
wards stopped ; but, the greater part of the machinery still re-
mains on the premises, the whole being actually in the posses-
sion of the Banking Company, and the Pours'-rates, amounting
to the above suns, not being forthcoming, the defendants, as
representatives of the Banking Company, were summoned for
the amount. the defence set up was, that only part of the pre-
mises were occupied, and what was occupied was unproductive,their de

BISHOP STANLEY.—Our readers will find in
another part of our paper a verbatim report of a very liberal
and excellent sermon, preached by the truly apostolic Bishop
of this diocese, in the church of St. Mary Tower, Ipswich,
un Thursday last, in aid of the funds of the SuffOlk Clerical
Charity. Every man of sound Christian feeling and enlight-
ened opinion, whether he be Dissenter or Churchman, must be
highly gratified with the sentiments expressed by the Lord
Bishop in his discourse. Well may his Lordship be regarded
with love and admiration ; for never, we believe, has any Esta-
blished Church in this or any other country, possessed a
brighter ornament in one of its dignitaries. Churchmen will
do well to imitate our revered diocesan, and to look at their

Church in the same unprejudiced—may we not say impartial
light—in which Dr. Stanley views it, when he says that " That
Church may have its blots, its specks, and its failings—where is
the institution or the denomination that is pure and faultless?
How can it be otherwise ? Our Church claims no infallibility
—God forbid that it ever should! It declares that Church
after Church is erring. And why? • Forasmuch as the Council
which legislates for them be an assembly of men, whereof all be
not governed by the spirit and word of God." In the face of the
intolerant and the bigoted, his Lordship from the pulpit declares,
is the language of Luther, that "Conscience is bound by the word
of God"—and glories in the fact that the early reformers, our
Cranmers and our Latimers, took their stand upon the Bible, and
the Bible alone, denying the right of those who had previous
to and at that time lorded it over conscience, denouncing the
infallibility of human authority, and opening the Bible to the
knowledge of the people, that they might judge for themselves.
Then, as if addressing himself to our Dissenting brethren, " One
comment only," observes his Lordship, " would I make on this
Protestant privilege of judging for ourselves. Let us be well
aware of the responsibility it imposes upon us.. Let us earnestly
seek, in the exercise of it, to cast aside all prejudice, all self-in-
terest, all pre-conceived partiality for this party or that party of
the religious world, or the pride or passions of our mortal nature,
and to cleave to truth, and to truth only, as our end, our aim,
and object." Had we more Bishop Stanleys in the Church of
England, she would present a far different spectacle to what
she does at this moment : love and attachment towards her
would then supersede the Contrary passions, and she would shine
as the bi ightest jewel of the empire.—Ipswich Express.
NOTIONS OF COMFOHT.—i went once with
Mathews over Warwick Gaol, and when we came to the
" place of execution," he observed to the gaoler, that consi-
dering the extent of the country, and the number of executions
which might take place, the drop struck him as being very
small. " I don't know," said the man. " To be sure, six
'oud be crowded, but foive 'oud hang very comfortable. "

On Friday, as the Hope coach, between Bury
and Yarmouth was passing through Beccles, in consequence of
the horses taking fright at a dark spot in the road having the ap-
pearance of blood, it was overturned, and several passengers
injured. One passenger, the wife of Mr. Thomas F,lven, late
butcher, of Stradbrooke, in this county, who was wtthher hus-
band on their return from Yarmouth, was so much injured or,
the brain that she died the following day. There were four
residents of this town on the coach a' the time—Mr Deck

three latter were totally unhurt. An invest was held, and a

on to state, that if that quarrel be not speedily adjOst
the Chinese may avail themselves of the relations ti.°
evibsisting between the Court of Pekin and the Sove
reigns of Ave and Nohal, to s, it them up to attack us;
" in which case," adds tote Reviewer, " we may have t°
give battle to an army of Tartars on the plains of Behar,
in the midst of the obnoxious poppies, or among the rival
tea-gardens of Upper Assam." We quote, from the
commencement of this able article, an encouraging se'
count of the resources of India •
" The agriculture, commerce of India, arc both el
yet in their infancy. There is no limit, at least none Ott
will be reached for centuries, to her power of supplying
the great staples of cotton, sugar, silk, coffee, tobacco, sah'
petre, and indigo. Almost every year adds some import'
ant article to her long list of capabilities. Oil-seeds'
caoutchouc, ant wool, are exports of very recent date. The
tea of Assam will outstrip them all in value and importance,
and will soon, we trust, render us in a great measure lode;
ptLtelent of the monopolists with whom we have hitherto he'l
to dea.. There is no doubt that skill and care in tb°
growth and ;ereparation are alone wanting to render tee
hemp and flax of India equal to that furnished by the north
of Europe. Es periments are in progress with a view t°
the naturalization ef the cochineal insect. There is little
question that rhubarb rould be grown as well in India ss
le China, from which coentry that which is called 'I urkeY
rhubarb is now brought by iZes6an caravans. The highly
intelligent commercial communities of Calcutta and Bom-
bay, and the planters and rnerchaets settled in the interior
of those Presidenciee, are actively engaged in improving(
and increasing the old, and in discovering new, articles °(

purchasing British manufactures. And for many most
pertant purposes, the gigantic power of steam, though
yet most inadequately applied, has, in effect, brought 011,'
