,er son.

Smith is a shoemaker, and lives in Wych-street, Strand. On
Thursday, the 20th of May, he and his wife were from home,
and when they returned he discovered that the door of his
sleeping apartment had been opened and two drawers forced,
and the articles mentioned stolen. There are several lodgers
in the house, and the street door is generally fastened with a
latch only in the day time. lie set out soon after to search at
the pawnbrokers' shops for his property, and at the very first he
entered, Messrs. Megwood and Lawrence, in Drury-lane, he
was informed that they had been pledged there that day by a
woman of the name of Brooks, an actress, whose name was
ormerly Hatton. He then procured a warrant at this Office,
but the officer was unable to find her until yesterday.

Wm. Wainwaring Fenner, shopman to Megwood and Law-
rence, deposed that the prisoner, on the evening of the 20th of
May pledged the articles which he now produced.—(These
were identified by Smith.)—She asked to have 31. upon them,
but he gave her a lesser sum. She gave her own name of
Brooks, which he wrote upon the duplicate.
Mrs. Brooks protested her innocence, and her husband stated
that they were in comfortable circumstances, and that therefore
besides her general character for integrity, she had no tempta-
tion to commit such an act.

The witness however was positive, and stated that he knew
Mrs. Brooks well, having often seen her both on and off the
stage; that she stt. gl in a strong light, and that she sang part of
a song, and appeared intoxicated. Mr. Brooks asserted that
she was addicted to no such habit, and, in answer to a question
from Mr. MixsituLr., that she was not at all disordered in
her intellects. _ _

Fenner still continued positive, and Mr. 31iNsirtrr.r. asked
if any one else was in the shop at the tints? He said that Mr.
Lawrence and an apprentice were present. They were sent for
and the apprentice came, Mr. Lawrence being from home.—
The former, the moment he entered the office and saw Mrs.
Brooks, declared that she was not the woman who pledged the
things He saw the woman but for a short time, and he wet:
quite positive on the subject.
Mr. Milistrur.L—There is a very strange mistake on one
side or the other.
Fenner—l hope it is not supposed that I came here to swear
to a falsehood. I know that lam right, and I hope the case
may be put off until Mr. Lawrence can attend. He knows Mrs.
Brooks well.
Mr. Brooks said, that his wife was so much altered from M-
I health within the last two years, that some of her friends scarce-

ly knew her when they met her.
After some further conversation, Mr. MINSTIULL Said he
could not make up his mind to decide upon the extraordinary
testimony before him, and the case must be postponed.
Mrs. Brooks was suffered to go at large upon her husband
undertaking for her appearance, and Mr. Lawrence was ordered
to be summoned to attend this day.

UNITARIAN ASSOCIATION.

A General Meeting of the Members of this
Assciation took place yesterday at the Old City of London
Tavern, for the purpose of considering the expediency of apply-
ing to Parliament again for the passing of the Dissenters'
Marriage Act.
The Report, after adverting to the unsuccessful application
made to Parliament this Session, went on to argue the advan-
tage which had been obtained by the voice of public opinion,
and concluded by urging on the Meeting the necessity of per-
severing in their application to Parliament.
Mr. JONES, Mr. TAYLOR, and several other Gentlemen,
spoke in support of the measure proposed, and in the result it
was unanimously agreed that the Committee should be instruct-
ed to persevere in their exertions, and that the proceedings of the
meeting be advertised in such Daily Papers as the Committee
see fit. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, after which
the Meeting dissolved.

SINGULAR. CASE.

BOSV-STREET.--A striking instance of the mis-
takes which are sometimes made by a witness as to personal
identity occurred at this office yesterday. Mrs. Brooks, a re-
spectable looking woman, who was for some years an actress of
considerable note at the Surrey and other minor theatres, was
brought up by Gardner a patrol, on a warrant charged with un-
lawfully pawning several silk and other dresses, the property
of a man named Smith.—The prisoner appeared dreadfully
agitated, and was several times nearly sinking to the earth.
She was accompanied by her husband and a youth, we believe

ENGLISH RESIDENTS AT PIRA.

By the Ileac, Capt. TEITST, arrived at Powey,
advises from Para (Brazil) to the 3d of March
were received yesterday. It appeared that the
English residents at that place have been unex-
pectedly placed in a situation of much difficulty
and danger, and have been compelled hastily to
embark with their goods and families for Bat ba-
does. The following letter, addressed by Capt.
TtIIT to his owners, Messrs. PINT°, URQUIlititT,
and Co. will best explain the state of the case:—

" FOWEY., APRIL 18.

" Gentlemen,—TheSollowing document is my authority for
leaving Para as I did on the 3d of March, in company with all
the English inhabitants, and every person almost who had suf-
ficient funds to get away some to Ilarbadocs, others to Cay-
enne, Portugal, and Gibraltar :

" TO CAPTAIN TRIST.
"' Sir—Having-received an assurance from the Government
of this place, that it considers the and properties of the
British subjects in peril, on the departure of the frigate Imper -
atiz and brig Maranhao, and its refusal to guarantee their safe;
ty, I consider it my duty to inform you thereof ; and that if
you think fit to remain in this port after the sailing of those
vessels, being thus apprised, the responsibility of such act
must devolve on yourself. EnclOsed I hand you a passport
from the Government.

" ' I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,

(Signed) " HENRY DICKENSON, Vice-Consul.
" Vice-Consul-office, Para, March 2, 1824.'
" The English are all gone to Barbadoes, in the brig Mary
and Ellen, taken by the authority of the Consul to convey the
British subjects in Para to some port of safety. The reason of
all this anises from the evil-minded having spread a report
that the 236 rioters who wereput on board a ship in the river
in. October last were suffocated by sulphfrk, and that the Eng-
lish, who took an active part in quelling the disturbance, were
the cause of their deaths, for by them they were disarmed. In
consequence, it was determined to revenge their deaths on all,
English indiscriminately."

Caphin SAUMAREZ is promoted to the rank of
Post-Caplain.

A letter from Bayonne, dated the 14th inst.,
states that considerable umbers of the Spanish
prisoners, who are on their way home, escape
from their conductors and return to France, so
dreadfully are they alarmed at the violence of
the Royalists. The same letter informs us that
a great number of the Royalist volunteers in
Logrono, Bilboa, and Vittoria, still refuse to lay
down their arms.

DUTCII PAPERS.

IfiQUE, APRIL to.—The bulletin-of the 17th
:gives the agrreable assurance that her Royal
,inghness the Princess of Orange and the infant
:Princess are so well in health that no more bul-
-leiins will be issueeL

HArvovEtt, Apart; 10.—We lately mentioned
'that the Papal Bull had been received, containing
the arrangements relative to the Catholic,Church
in the kingdom of Hanover. „In addition to what
`we, then stated, it is to be observed, that we shall
not only retain the Bishoprick of flildesheim,
but also the ancient episcopal see of Osnabruck,
founded by Charlemagne, which will likewise
have u chapter and six vicars. The Head of the
Catholic Church and the llanoveridn Government
have fulfilled by this arrangement the general
wish, and provided for the wants of the Ca.
thalic,subjects who are disseminated over a great
-e .xtent,of country from the, frontiers of Holland
to beyond Duderstadt.

Some persons have lately been detected in the
district of Lemforde distributing little religious
tracts in that part of the country, and en-
deavouring to inculcate a belief that the perusal
of them was the only true Christian devotion,
aad that the religious instruction given ht the
'schools and churches was injurious, or, at
;east, useless. The Magistrates of the district
have adopted the necessary measures, and pub-
lished a warning against the distributors of these
pamphlets, which, as far as they are known, are
incompatible with a reasonable religion, and to
be considered as productive of delusion and-
mysticism.

• LEIPSIC, APRIL 3.--fhe rage for speculating
in,the Funds of various States continues to absorb
more and more capital, and to withdraw it from
trade and manufactures. The gain is easy, and
a houie in this place is spoken of as having
gained 70 or 80,000 dollars since the beginning
of the year, by the rise of all Public Securities,
The Royal Saxon State Paper,.and the Bonds of
the City of Leipsic, are both nearly at the same
price; the former at 105 to 1052,, and the latter
at 105, exclusively of the interest. Trade, mean-
time, is at a stand,
.and though the Easter fair
begins very late, we do not promise ourselves
much-from it, if the purchasers from the North,
and the Wallachian-s, Hungarians, Greeks, and
Russians, keep away. It is -thought that 'the
English will not be so numerous as usual. Two
more houseshave lately stopped payment. The
prices of corn have ftijlen still lower, and proxi-
sioni of.tiii kinds,arg.e.xtremelycheap.

MEETING OF POSTMAStERS*.

On Wednesday a General Meeting of the
Society of United Postmasters took place at the Freemasons'
Tavern. Mr. EDWARD IVIIITE in the Chair.

From the Report it appeared, that notwithstanding the clear-
ness and simplicity of The new law for regulating the Post-
horse Duties, many. attempts bad been made by the framers of
those duties, in various parts of the country, to pervert its moan-
ing, for sinister purposes ; and, in order to frustrate such
attempts, it strongly recommended the appointment of au
officer, with a permanent salary, to whom all Members of the
Society might apply in cases of doubt or difficulty ; and whose
duty it should be to communicate with the officers of Govern-
ment upon matters which might require their interposition.
This recommendation was unanimously adopted, and the
Chairman was immediately elected to fill the 'office. A great
number of Postmasters attended from the most distant parts of
the country. '

The CHAIRMAN addreSeed the Meeting, stating that they
owed the new Bill relating to their trade to the alteration in the
Cabinet. 11ir. Robinson having framed the new Act for their
relief, which Vansittart had repeatedly promised. Mr.
Sykes, the Solicitor of the Stamps, had also given very power-
ful assistance to the trade.

Two hundred and fifty sat down to an excellent dinner at
four o'clock ; Mr. 'White in the Chair. The healths of the
several Noblemen and Gentlemen, who were mentioned in the
proceedings as having assisted the Society, were drank ,with
onthusiasm, and a very harmonious Meeting was passed.

WINDERMERE REGATTA.

- -
On Thursday week, the charming exhibition of the Queen
of the Lakes, decorated with the pomp and pageantry of its
living ornaments, was unveiled to a host of enraptured specta.
tors. The beautiful situation of Low Wood Inn was the ap-
pointed station. The whole of the proceedings of the day were
under the direction of I'rofessor Wilson, of 'Edinburgh. The
grandeur of the mountain scenery, the splendour of the fiats
waving in the breeze, the firing of cannon, the melody of muse,
and the blaze of beauty and fashion, all conired to render the
Regatta most enchanting to the senses: The grand aquiltie
procession of the barges, and numerous row-boats of the lake,
was the most beautiful sight ever witnessed on Windermere.
The other amusements of running, leaping, and wrestling,
were admirably conducted. The yoting Duke of Ruccleuch
was of Colonel 'Bolton's party in this exhibition, as was also
Air. Wordsworth, the poet.--(Carlisle Journal.)

Yesterday the LORD MAYOR and Corporation
Officers proceeded in the City barge up the Thames, for the
purpose of holding a Court of Conservancy, and inspecting the
state of the embankments upon the River. The City barge on
this occasion having undergone a repair, made a gay and stately
appearance. .A complete set of new civic flags and emblems
were displayed, and-the elegant company on board added much
to the splendour of the exhibition. On the arrival of the barge
above Westminster-bridge' the LORD MAYOR was saluted by
a discharge of 2Q guns, fired from N.g.t.swr's (the. Water
RIM!) Causeway. The Ciiurt-was to be held at Staines.

MAJIZEIT is expected at Carlton.llouse In
the course of the present week, when an order
will be issued for the further Prorogation of Par•
liarnent, which at present stands adjourned to the
24th instant.

We have received the Paris Papers of Sat►►r•

day, and the Etoile of Sunday, and have given
extracts from them under the usual head. The
Telegraph had announced the arrival of the Eng.
lisp cutter, The Express, at Marseilles on the
3d instant, with the intelligence of Peace having
been concluded between Great Britain and the

Regency of Algiers on the 224 ult. No park•
culars are given as to the terms of the arrange-
ment, nor of the causes which have produced it ;
but it is reasonable to conclude that it was not
preceded by a bombardine9t, as so Important a
circumstance would scarcely have been omitted
even in a Telegraphic Dispatch. It is sup-
posed that The Express may have been the
bearer of dispatches for our own Government,
which she would probably land at Marseilles,
for their more speedy conveyance, through
France, to this country. The confirmation of
this agreeable news will be looked for with
anxiety, particularly by the relatives of the
brave men forming the blockading force off Al-
g. rs, who, we trust, have been spared the perils
of a conflict with the barbarians.

The Etoile gives the substance of a letter con.
ained in the dugsburgh Gazette, dated Constan.

tinople, July 15, which asserts that an officer had
arrived from the CAPTAIN PAcu t, announcing
that he had subdued the island of Ipsara, after
an obstinate resistance by the Ipsariots, and had
taken a hundred vessels and a great quantity of
artillery. This news is not to be depended upon.
The last accounts of the CAPTAIN PACHA repre.
seated his fleet as being in a very bad condition
from the ravages of the plague, and as awaiting
in inactivitroff Mytilene the arrival of the long
expected Egyptian 'squadron with reinforcements.

PIGEON MATCH,

The first of a shooting pigeon match- between Members of
the Chelsea and the Kent-road Pigeon Clubs, took place yes-
terday in the safest ground in England, the indosures at the
Red House, Battersea. The Chelsea candidate was a Gentle-
man of the name of Coke, and that of Middlesex, a Mr. Cot-
trel. ' The shooting was nearly equal, Mr. Coke having won
by one bird only. Mr. 'Come' evidently lost two birds by their
dropping out of bounds. The winner killed 12 from 16.
Mr. Willoughby,' from Esx, and Mr. Cottrel, next shot at
seven birds each. The former killed six and hii adversary five.

REOATTA.
Yesterday being the day appointed for the annual contest
between the Watermen of Queenhithe, fora very handsome
wherry, and other prizes, the gift of the Ladies and Gentlemen
of the Ward, both sides of the River limn Blackfriars-bridge to
that of London were crowded to excess.
At 20 minutes to four o'clock, the signal gun was fired, and
the following men took their stations to row the first heat, viz. :
John' Robins,. green; John Wolfinger, red ; and Benjamin
Bird, yellow. This was a very well-contested heat between
green and red, who were declared the winners.
The second heat was equally well contested, and declared
in favour of Mr. Henry, .orange, and James,Thomas, pink
George Alartin, light blue, having declined rowing the distance.
Betting ran now very high, and shortly before seven o'clock the
men, green, red, orange, and pink, were ordered off to row the
last heat.. This was a most arduous contest, and decided in
favour Of Orange. Green came in second, and pink third.
Green was entitled to 4/., Pink to Si. and Red to 11.—The
two men who did not row in the grand heat reeeived 11. each.

HOUSE OF LORDS, FEU. O.
Mr. PARYBOUSE presented the 20th Report of the Carnatic
Commissioners.—Laid on the Table.
The Lombard-street House Bill went through a Committee,
and was reported.

GAME LAWS.
Lord SUFFIELD, after alluding to what had fallen from
a Noble Earl yesterday, wished to remind their Lordships that
they had before them the ,Report of the evidence taken by a
Committee of the other llouse last year on the subject of -the
Game Laws. When the Bill now in progress through the other
branch of the Legislature should, as he cordially hoped, find
its way so their Lordships, they might refer to that evidence to
form their opinion upon the subject. Should it not be deemed
sufficient, he trusted that some Noble Lord would move for a
Committee to examine evidence; but if after he had given this
notice no such Committee was moved for, he also trusted that
it would not be brought forward as an objection to the Bill
that sufficient evidence had not been produced. With respect
to the measure, it had his entire approbation, and if every he,ld
of game were to be swept off from the earth, the Noble Lol.d
was understood to say, he should support it, so great did he
conceive the evil of the Game Laws to be, and the necessity of
its being remedied.--Adjourned till Monday.

This was an action by the trustees of the Bloomsbury Dis-
pensary, against one of the sureties to a bond, conditioned that
John Warr, the collector to the institution, should duly pay
over all monies.

John Warr, the late collector, himself proved that he received
3141. 3s. Gd. in last year for the use of the society, which he had
not paid over, but which, excepting seven guineas paid to a
singer at a public dinner, still remained due. His poundage
amounted to 121. on the sums collected.

Mr. NOLAN, for the plaintiff, agreed to allow the poundage
in reduction of damages.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the defendant, read a let-
ter from him, giving notice to the trustees that he would con-
sider himself no longer liable.
The Lonn CHIEF JUSTICE said he thought this was no
defence in point of law : at all events, it could not be set up
without being pleaded.
Mr. NOLAN begged, as counsel for the charity, to state that
if the defendant had taken steps to exonerate himself and pro-
vide other sureties, the trustees would have willingly discharged
him.

The Jury then found a verdict for the plaintiff, and assessed
the damages on the breaches assigned at 2941. 13s.
The other cases were chiefly matters of account, and several
were referred to arbitration.

on the regiment assembling at Doncaster
" Lieut.-Colonel Wortley informs the regiment that he has
received from Lieut.-Colonel Lord Grantham an intimation
that the regiment of Yorkshire Hussars, under his command,

ing the regiment with this circumstance, and of impressing
upon the officers and yeomen the absolute necessity, for the
honour of the corps, of a full attendance, with appointments in
complete order, andthe'best horses in good condition.
4 Lieut.-Colonel Wortley knows from past experience that
.when assembled, he can depend upon the steadiness of the
yeomen in the field, and upon their good conduct in quarters ;
and he looks forward with confidence to the regiment doing it-
self the same credit upon this as upon former occasions.
The officers commanding troops are requested to take care
that every yeouran has an opportunity of seeing this order.'

servations regarding it. He should merely submit certain re-
solutions to the Committee, as the foundation of the bill he in-
tended to introduce.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

CHARLIE OF ARSON.

DOW-STREET.—Yesterday Robert Ball, a young man of
respectable appearance, was brought before Sir R. BtßxtE by.
Snow, a constable of Waiworth, charged On suspicion of felo
niously setting fire to a certain apartment occupied by him, with
intent to defraud the Sun Fire Office.
The prosecutor was Mr. John Fearn, of 97, Strand, boot-
maker, from whose evidence, corroborated by other testimony,
it appeared that he had known the prisoner for a considerable
time. He was by trade a< carpenter ; but some time ago he told
Mr. Fearn that he was about to commence dealing in wearing
apparel and boots and shoes, and BI r. Fearn agreed to, lend him
the use of a room in his house as a deposit pro tenipore for his
stock, This was six months ago,.and the pnsoner then brought
a quantity of clothes, some woollen cloths, boots anti shoes, and
some carpenter's tools, which were deposited in, the room. For
the first two months he hid not the exclusive pOssession of the
apartment, but for the last four months he had it entirely to him-
self; and Whin he went home to his residence at Walworth at
night, he fastened the door with a padlock. Subsequently the
prisoner brought upon several occasions cans of oil and turpen-
tine, which he deposited in the rooM. Soon after he had taken
possession of .the room entirely, he effected a Policy of Insur-
ance at the Sun Fire Office' o the amount of 4061. upon goods
and fixtures alleged by hint tp be contained therein. On Sa-
turday evening last Mr. Fearn went out at about a quarter be-
fore ten o'clock, and at that time.the prisoner was sitting in an
apartment occupied by a young man of the name of Wood, a
lodger in the house. In a few minutes after Mr. Fearn had
quitted the house, the prisoner went down to the landing place
below Mr. Wood's aparttnent and balled' out," Mrs. Fearni is
Mr. F. gone out ?" Mrs,,Fearn answered in the affirmative;
and he then went to the top of the house where his store=room
is situated, and procured a light from aotne.tailors who were
at work 'upon the same floor. He left the house very Shortly,
after having padlocked the door of his room as usual. He had
not been gone many minutes when Mr. F.'s maid servant, hav-
ing occasion to goUp ktairs, perceived a strong Smell of fire, and
she asked the tailors if they had been snaking tinder ? Passing
the door of the prisoner's room She saw' a strong light issue from
the crevice at the bottom, and, she immediately gave an alarm
that Mr. Ball's room was on fire. 'Mr. Wood ran up, and with a
poker endeavoured to force open The door; but he broke the po-
ker in several pieces before he could demolish thepadlock. The
door was at length *reed, and the room discovered to be on fire
in three separate places. It was very speedily extinguished, not
hiving gained. Much ground. The room was then examined ;

A NOVEL SUITOR.

No small degree of mirth was excited this
morning by the appearance of an Arab servant in
-the Court, bearing in his hand a letter, addressed,
in Arabic, to Lord John Eldon, High Chancellor
of England. Having been introduced to the
Officers of the Court, - Butt, Esq. his Lord-
.ship's mace bearer, was requested to speak to
him. Du looking at the letter, Mr. Butt, like
many others, could make nothing of it ; but the
mystery was soon cleared by the messenger say-
ing it came from Salmi(' Khan, the Nabob resident
at Calcutta. Several Counsel were standing near,
and the question now was, whether the document
should be handed to his Lordship or not. It
was, however, resolved that his Lordship should
be made acquainted with the circumstance, and
the messenger was directed to call at his Lord-
ship's residence for an answer.

afterwards dispOSed of for tither purposes,'
whereby Mr. Gorling was never repaid.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONEit, in passing judg-
ment, said, this wa on, of the grOssest cases .
of
fraud that ever came under their consideration;
and praetised toward Mr. God log, therefore, the
sentence of the Court was, that the Insolvent
should not be intitled-to airy benefit until he had
been confined within the walls for a period of
Eighteen Calendar Months.
