INTERESTING CASE.

BOW-STREET.—Yesterday morning an application was
made by a person calling himself the head assistant at a Pri-
vate Asylum for insane persons at Richmond, requesting to
know from Sir R. Bra ar IE, whether, on the following facts, he
was entitled to seize the person of a Miss Illink.nsop, then
Lesent, who had escaped the evening before, and come to
ondon?—Sir R. Br RNIE said, he could give no authority to
any pesaon to seize a British subject, unless he had committed
some crime. The present case, according to the applicant's
statement, was peculiarly for the interference of the Lord
Chancellor. Sir Richard asked if lie had got a certificate of
any physician as to her insanity ?—One was produced, signed
by a person, calling himself Dr. Ferguson, but, on referring to
the Medical List, no such name could be found.—Here Miss
Blitikinsop said, that she was the victim of a foul conspiracy.
She had endured, misery, from her earliest infancy, of so
poignant a nature, that the hardest heart must pity her. She
was by no means labouring under the malady represented ;
and nothing but the extreme necessity of her case could have
obliged her to come thus into a public Court of Justice.
Mr. Knight, who accompanied the lady, now stated, that,
on the preceding day, she had come in a post chaise to his hotel
during his absence, she had nuule a statement there, which, on
inquiry,. he found to be perfectly correct. She had informed
him that she was the sister of a lady of title, and this he found to
be the fact. His servants had attended upon her and they could
perceive nothing in her manner at all confirming what the ap-
plicant had mentioned. 111 iss B. said, she had never been allowed
to see any of her friends since she was first confined. There
were two persons, calling themselves her cousins, residing in
Devonshire-street, Portland-place, one of whom was in the
Auditor's Office. Her only hopes was in the justice of the
Worthy Magistrate, and trout him she was convinced site
should obtain it.

Sir R: BIRNIE told the applicant, that if he took the lady,
he did it at his peril. He should grant .him no authority so to
do. If the fact was as he stated, he must obtain proper certi-
ficates, and the authority of a Magistrate at Richmond ; and
when all the requisites were complied with, the law would au-
thorise him in taking the legitimate method of again putting
her in confinement.-111r. Knight then said, that the Lady
should remain at his house as long as she thought proper, un-
til a legal authority was obtained for her removal.—she parties
then left the office.

troops on board not bei►►g accustomed to the
usual inconveniences arising from being kept ou
ship-board, an application was made to the
Officer commanding our garrison, for permission
for the French soldiery to be accommodated
in one of the vacant Barracks on the Heights,
which being assented to, they were accordingly
marched to the Heights on Friday last, and took
possession of the Barracks adjoining those in
which our soldiers are quartered, and have
bee►► remaining there ever since, and will so con-
tinue until tl►e wind and weather permit their
departure in the ship, which is now nearly in
readiness to receive them on board again.
Our Barracks.are now, therefore, tenanted by
British and French soldiers, and what makes it the
more singular is, that the numbers of each
country are, within two or three, the same. Their
conduct is extremely good, and it is pleasing to
see the association of the two parties—the British
(Artillery, Major TAyLoit's Company) many of
whom formed part of the Army of Occupation in
France, and consequently have a sufficient know-
ledge of the French language to become the in-
terpreters and guides to the French soldiers in
their excursions about the town and neighbour-
hood. We are not aware of any circumstance of
this kind having before occurred, that of our
garrisons having been jointly occupied by British
and French soldiers in modern times, and it
therefore may not be considered undeserving of
publicity, in proof the accommodating and Mend ly
disposition on our side, when necessity requires
it, and in the hopes, that if it should ever fall to
tl►e lot of any of our gallant countrymen, in their
voyage to or from distant clinics, to be obliged to
seek an asylum in any of the ports of France,
that they may meet with the same hospitality as
has been 'shown to those of France in the present

POETRY.

TILE LUTE.

BY MISS Ti. E. laawromi, Author of The bitpro::iiatrice.'
(From ACKERMANN'S Forget Me Not.)

Wake not again, thou sweet-voiced lute !
Better for me that thy chords were mute,
Than thus to recall thoughts long since fled,
And bring to my mem'ry the false and the dead.
They remind me of one who shared with me
The short liv'd sunlight of infancy :
For when the young rose of her cheek grew pale,
And health was departed, she lov'd thy wail ;
And I have heard thy murmurs sweep
O'er the flow'rs that smile round her last cold sleep.
And thou recallest a dark-eyed maid,
With forehead of snow and raven braid,
The light of my love-dream,--one who oft
Would answer m song to thy breathing soft;
One who could love, and her love forget-
-0 waken not, lute, that wild regret !
Better thou ever shouldst silent be,
Than renew such memories of sadness to me.

Saturday last, six men, three women, and three children, em-
barked in a flshing.boat at Easington, six miles from Spurn,
about seven o'clock in the morning, intending to come to
Hull, it then being moderate weather. About two o'clock it

COLOIVEL BERKELEY.

The following, relating to the above gentle.
'man, is from a Sunday paper :
" The late Earl Berkeley, his father, when quartered in
Gloucester, one of the Regiments of the Gloucester Militia,
of which he was Colonel, conceived a violent passion for Miss
Mary Cole, the daughter of Mr. Cole, a butcher in that city.
Some time after, Miss Cole disappeared from Gloucester, and
Lord.
ship. found living in London, under the protection of his iord.
ship. Miss Cole was a line young woman of an active disposi-
tion and intelligent,mind. Devoted to pleasure, his Lordship
had 'neglected his . affidra. Miss Cole soon aquired an influ—
ence over him, undertook the arrangement of his house-
hold,. and improved himself and his estates. Dur-
ing all this time they cohabited, and the consequence
was. a numerous progeny, all bred up as a legitimate.
It is a standing rule or order of the House of Lords, for the
purpose of preserving the purity of the Peerage, that the Mem-
bers shall, when required, prove their pedigree—via. make a
true and correct return of the state of their issue. The order
was enforced in the lifetime of the late Earl Berkeley, and he
made a return of his children, including Colonel ll,keley,
then called Viscount Dursley, as his eldest son, and heir to
his titles. The accuracy of this return was impugned in the
Committee of Privileges of the 'loose of Lords., The Earl, in
its support, adduced a reinter of a marriage at Berkeley, In
Gloucestershire, onthe 30th of Alarch, 1785, previous to the
birth of any of his children,
but after a long and anxious
discussion at the bar, hearing
a variety of evidence, it
was annulled, and a subsequent, marriage between the
..s Countess, at Saint Mary's, Lambeth, on
the 16th of
Earl and leis aunt
1796, was declared valid. By the de-
cision, the children born before the said marriage, consisting
a' Berkeley is the eldest, were
of four sons, of whom Colim

FOR. THE SUN.

111 n. Marron—Your disposition to give pub-
licity to any information that may tend to public
benefit, induces me to beg insertion to the follow-
ing. So susceptible is the human mind to be led
by novelty, that personal safety is often disre-
garded.

I would remark, that those persons who pa-
tronize the PATENT STEAM WASHING COMPANY
are not aware that th►+ Company are liable to re-
ceive linen infected by different diseases ; say
malignant or putrid fever, scarlet fever, measles,
small-pox, besides a very prevalent disease.
Now, Sir, numerous are the cases on record of
resuscitation of infection in linen, after it has
gone through the process of washing, and that
too after it has been rubbed by hand and boiled.
In a recent case, brought by Dr. PArrisoN
before the Magistrates, the Company's Agent
stated, us a cause of detention, that the linen was
so generally mixed, that it required much time to
select the parcels belonging to the respected
owners.

As a medical man I think it my duty to ad-
vance this hint, anticipating your ready acqui-
esceuce In its seasonableness.

Opportunity of judging whether the proposed Quay

COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS

DURING THE LAST WEEK.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. Oct. 19.
The import of Wheat and Oats from Ireland the last week
has been tolerably large, and for both articles nearly a corre-
spondent demand. The supply of other Grain was very tri-
vial, but a fair supply of Flour. At this day's market there
was a middling good attendance of both town and country
dealers, and more animation in the trade than for some time
past, when good New Irish Wheat and fine Old sold readily,
at an advance of full 4d. per bushel. Prime New Oats were
free sale, and realized a rise of lid. per bushel, as did other
descriptions, and Old about Id. Malt and Barley quite main-
tain our former quotations, and some holders are asking more
money. Beans are again 2s. to 3s. per quarter dearer, and
Flour Is. to 2s. per pack.

HAMPSHIRE PITT CLUB.

WINCH E$T E , Oc'r, 23.—The Anniversary of
the Hampshire Pitt Club was celebrated in this city on Thurs-
day, the 21st instant, being also the Anniversary of the Vic-
tory of Trafalgar, which has been selected for the occasion as
one of the glorious results of the Administration of the great
and good Minister to whose memory' the day was devoted. It
may certainly now be the pride and boast of those who have so
long and so uniformly supported the political principles of the
late Mr. PITT, that adherence to those principles by the present
Administration has brought this country to that state of prospe-
rity at home, and respect for it abroad, that it now so emi-
nently enjoys, and fixed its credit on an immoveable basis,
whilst agriculture and commerce have both in their turn
been relieved from a great part of the burthens to
which they were unavoidably subjected through the late
arduous but ultimately successful war. Nor have the great
body of the people gone without their share of relief, by the
taking off a large portion of the assessed taxes, and those too
that most affected the middle and lower classes of the people.—
It is true, as has been observed, universal satisfaction seems
now to be felt and expressed, from whence some argue, that
those meetings are unnecessary; but the disciples of Mr. Pitt
think otherwise, and that the best way of continuing the good
effects of his principles is to be frequently reminded of them,
and to show our gratitude by frequent tributes of respect and
regard to his memory,
There were present at the Meeting, the President, the Rev.
Archdeacon Hook, the Vice-President A. R. 4)ottin, Esq.,
Thomas Ilerdmore, Robert Shedder, jun. and Henry Master-
man, Esqrs. three of the Stewards. the Hon. and Rev. Chan-
cellor Legge, Lieutenant-Colonel Iremonger, T. A. smith,
William Nevill, George Hoar, George Hollis, Barnard Win-
ter, Thomas' Woodham' and Charles Wooldridge, Esqrs.
Members, and the ltev. Walter Hook and George Deane, the
Rev. Thomaa Watkins and Thomas Westcomb, &c. as visitors,
Captain Rainier, R.N. was elected a Member, and joined
the Club at dinner, and was chosen as Steward, in the place of
the ono that goes out by rotation.
" The King," " The Duke of York and the Army," " The
Duke of Clarence and the Navy," and other standing toasts of
the Pitt Club, with a succession of loyal *and patriotic tiiists,
including those of " The Duke of Wellington (%:lio last year
became a Member) and the Heroes of Waterloo," " The Me-
mory of Lord Nelson and the heroes of Trafalgar," were drank
with the respect and enthusiasm characteristic of Englishmen,
and the utmost harmony and good fellowship was kept up till
ten o'clock, when the company separated.
The dinner was served up in a manner that was creditable to
Staning, and the wines and dessert were much approved.
A. R. DoT TIN, Esq., will be the President for the ensuing
year.

WHIG, CLUB.

RETIREMENT OF LORD BELGRADE FROM THE
CHESHIRE WHIG CLUB.
f
LFROH THE CHESTER CHRONICLE.]
_ _ _

Sin—l have received the communication you were rgool
enough to forward me on the subject of the annual Meeting of
the Cheshire Whig. Club on Monday next, and I feel myself
called upon, from the objections I entertain to the intended
proceedings, to trouble you with this letter, in justice to myself,
and in fairnesslowardsthe club.

.Although, Sir, I fully think that public meetings and dis-
cussions,out of Parliament are not only to be tolerated, but
are highly useful on particular measures and occasions, I have
yet always falt,averse myself to attendance at political clubs
and periodical meetings, but it is a great additional objection
m
to my mind where, asthe present instance, it is attempted to
form a precise standard of principles, particularly at a time.

am too little confident of the successful results of most expe-
riments that have been suggested, to be a sanguine reformer ;
and I should certainly thin,e,a recurrence to 7'ricnnial Parlia-
ments one of the must doubtful experimentt that could be tried
with that view.
I do not wish, Sir, to enter into detailed opinions which
would be difficult to state, so as not to be liable to misconcep-
tion and cavil—but as.l have, as far as regards •myself (parti-
cularly as a Member of the Legislature) a .very decided objet_
.lion to abstract declarations of opinion generally, out of Par-
liament, it would be muniftst inconsistency on my part to con-
tinue to &twig to the Club.
Trusting
.that some practical system of Reform, which it
will be consistent with my opinion to support, may result from
,the united talent and respectability of the numerous Members
who compose the Club,
I have the honour to subscribe myself, Sir,

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—(Tms DAY.)

Mn. FAummEnoY.--The Court was thronged
to excess in the expectation that the Chairman,
in addressing the Grand Jury, would make some
allusion to the case of the above individual, but
such was not the case, as the Grand Jury had
been sworn on Wednesday last, and of course

that ceremony was not again repeated, and
the Petit Jury being sworn, the business pro-
ceeded in the usual way. It was understood
that Mr. FRI:SIIFIELD would not present the bills
of indictment against the accused for the conside-
ration of the Grand Jury until the after part of
the day.—Mr. FRESHFIELD, at half-past eleven
o'clock, attended by Mr. FITZPATRICK, the Clerk
to the Grand Jury, entered their room with the
depositions ; the witnesses were in attendance.
Josiah Philps was indicted for assaulting
Mathew Burns, who was, by a cross indictment,
indicted for assaulting Phelps and his daughter.
Mr. ALLEY stated the case as proved in evi-

deuce. It appeared that Phelps is a stone-mason,
residing at Islington, and the other is a Captain
in the Army. The defe'ndont was employed to
erect a marble tomb-stone for some relation of
Captain Barn, which was found at a subsequent
period not to be marble. Capt. Burn then called
on him, and on stating this, Phelps seized him by
the collar, aim j the assault complained of then
took place. But the witnesses for Capt. 13ur 11
gave a totally different account of the transaction,
and he appeared to be the aggressor ; therefore
the Jury acquitted Phelps.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yegterday a Court of Common Conn was
held, for the purpose of electing a person to ?terve the office of
High Bailiff of the Ilorough of Southwark ; and also for Ulf
purpose of receiving the iteport of the Bridge-ilouse Com-
mittee, as to the cause of the deficiency of the supply of water
on the occasion.of the late fires in the city. The Court was
extremely full.

paOPOSED SHIP CANAL from the ENG-
LISH to the BRISTOL CHANNELS.
• •
At a Numerous and 'Respectable MEETING of the SUB-
SCRIBERS, held pursuant to Advertisement at the London
.Coffee-House, Ludgate-hill, on THURSDAY, the 18th day
of December, 1824;
JOHN BENT, E3q. M.P. in the Chair,
The Reports received by the Committee from Mr. Telford
and Captain Nicholls having been read,
Resolved Unanimously,
That this Meeting are fully satisfied, from the interesting and
luminous Report of 111 r. Telford, as to the practicability of con.
strutting the projected Canal.
That the two able Reports of Captain Nicholls are calculated
to remove every doubt which could have existed as to the prac-
ticability of constructing proper Harbours in the English and
Bristol Channels, to insure the certainty of rendering the pro-
posed Canal a measure of the most extensive benefit to the
Country, and that the information which has beep collected and
arranged by him as to the Revenue and the uses of the Canal,
appears to be such as to have no doubt that an ample income
will be derived from it to afford a valuable remuneration to the
Subscribers.
That further Subscriptions be received until they shall amount
to 1,750,000/., the sum required by the Estimate of Mr. Tel-
ford for the completion of the undertaking. in such manner as
the Committee shall deem to be most advisable.
That it is the opinion of this Meeting that application should
be made to Parliament in the next Session for a Bill to enable
the Subscribers to carry the proposed measure into effect.
That the Committee be requested to continue their services
with the powers already vested in them to cause a 11111 to be
llepared with such provisions as they shall deem most ad-
!l'able and to prosecute the measures necessary to be adopted
In Parliament and until the Act shall be obtained.
'That the Report of Mr. 'relford, together with the whole or
such parts of that of Captain Nicholls as the CoMmittee shall
d eern necessary, be printed and circulated for the information ~
the Subscribers and the Public.
That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to the Committee
fur the attention and ability they have shewn in promoting the
Interests of this Concern.
That the Thanks of this Meeting be also given to Mr. Tel-
ford and Capt. Nicholls, for their able and luminous Reports,
and for the valuable information they have collected.
That the Resoloticins of this day be inserted in such News-
papers in Town and Country as the Committee shall think fit.

AUTOGRAPHS.

There is a strong propensity at present for
collecting the autographs of distinguished per-
sons ; and yesterday must have afforded a trea-
sure to those who direct their attention to such
acquisitions. A unique sale for these rareties
took place yesterday at Mr. Sourr.ny's, and at-
tracted a numerous body of Autograph Col-
lectors. The several articles, however, though
very curious and valuable, and their authenticity
fully described and established by sir. SOTHEBY,
did not, in our opinion, reach the prices which
might be expected, considering the impottance of
many of the writers. Among the more curious
Were-

Those of Queen Elizabeth ; Mary Queen of Scots, and her
mother Mary of Guise ; Cardinal Beaton ; the Itegent of
Scotland, Arran, Mar, and Murray • the Earls of Sussex and
Bedford ; Lord unsdon ; James Vith of Scotland ; Anne of
Denmark; Charles I. and II.; the Queen of Bohemia; the
Duke of Monmouth and Lord Chancellor Bacon; Lord Ro-
chester, &e: &c. &c.

A considerable number relate to that period of Scottish His-
tory to which the public attention has been awakened by the
powerful pen of the Author of Waverley„particularly, to " the
crafty Lauderdale, the dissolute Roches ; Dumbarton ;" Doug-
las, the twice-turned Traitor, baith to Country and king: '
and above all, one of Claverhouse, describing the Fight of
Drumclog ;—with many illustrative of Burnet's History of his
Own Times, and other Passages of English and Scottish
History.
We shall notice a few of those w hich reached
the highest prices :—Mary Queen of Scots to
.to the Lord Gray, 111. Sir Francis Bacon to
King James, 61. 7s. Graham of Cla vet house
(Dundee) to the Earl of Bothes, 121. 12s. Dr..
James Sharp, Archbishop of St. Andrew's, to the
Earl of Tweedale, 41. The Nubility of Scotland
(21 in number) to King Charles 11. 10/. 15s.—
James Earl of Perth to the Duke of Lauderdale,
31. Bs. Address of Congratulation to King
Charles (I. by the Earl of Roshes, and 18 other
1 Lords of Scotland, upon his happy escape from the
pretended Popish Plot, 51. I Os. Lords of the Conn-
' cil (6 in number)to the Duke of Lauderdale, 51.75.
6d. Sir Kobt. Cecyll (Secretary of State to Eliza-
beth) to Lord Gray, eight Letters, .511. 9i.
Francis Earl of Bedford, and Thomas Ran-
dolph° to the Earl of Leicester, 101. los. As
many of these autograph letters contain interest-
lug accounts of events of importance at the pe-
riods when they were written, and from the an-
cestors of noble and respectable families now
existing; it ,is surprising that the 4utogeuph
Hunt was not more keenly pursued on the pre-
sent occasion. If the Catalogue had been circu-
lated through the country at large, it may rea-
sonably be supposed that it would have attracted
more curiosity, and have beet; attended with
better success. But that cannot be considered
as the omission of the.; seller, 'as he, of course,
conformed to the.orders,of the respective pro-
prietors with respect Idle extent of publica-
tion.
