NORSH STEALING.

James Maar, aged 27, was put to the bar on
an indictment, charging him with the capital of-
fence of stealing, on the 7th of September, a
gelding, the property of John Rolfe, in the
parish of Beaconsfield.

The prosecutor was called up on the night in
question, and informed that something wrong
was going on. He saddled his nag, and went in
pursuit of the prisoner, and overtook him on the
Loudon road, near Ealing, about 17 miles from
town. The prisoner was then mounted on the
stolen horse, and seeing the prosecutor, he alight-
ed, but was collared by the prosecutor, who was
obliged to let him go for the moment. Ile, how-
evei, kept up the chace, and eventually secured
the prisoner.

Witnesses were called to prove that the hors.
was safe in the meadows on the previous even-
ing. it was also proved that the prisoner was ira
the neighbourhood on the evening of Monday the
tith of September.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE summed up the evi-
dence to the Jury, who found the prisoner
Guilty—Death.

NEW COURT.
EMDEZZI.ZIIIEXT.—.Ernest Jacob Carl Rudelrak', a native
of Germany, was indicted for embezzling the sum of 291.115, tid.
the property of his employer.
Mr. John Grant, an Officer in the Army, deposed, he resided
in Craven-street; the prisoner had been his servant for nine
mo 'tbs. tin the 20th of April last, witness gave the prisoner a
Be .k of England cheque for 291. Ils. tid. to get cashed at his
bsdker's in Charing-cross, and requested hint to return imme-
diately. However, he did not, anti witness never heard of him
after, until the tith of May, when he was apprehended. He
had taken the prisoner into his service on account of distress,
an I knowing he had performed his duty as a soldier.
Mr. NI ilson, cne of the cashiers at Messrs. Cockburns•
Banking-house, proved receiving the cheque of the prisoner,
and giving him 29 sovereigns in part payment.
Lunt, a constable belonging to the Alien-office at Graves-
end, said, on searching the prisoner a second time 7 sovereigns
dropped from his left boot the money, he said, belonged to
him, and that he had brow ht 102 dollars front Germany.
Bennett, another constable, proved apprehending tie pri.
soner at the Duke of York public-house, Gravesend ; he found
a purse and 3 sovereigns on his person.
The prisoner made no defence, but called upon Mr. Grant
for a character, who declared that before this transaction he
considered him an honest man.
The Cost NOW SERGEANT summed up, and the Jury pro.
nounced hint Guilty.--The prosecutor strongly recommended
hint to mercy.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.—(rms DAY.)

James Barker was brought up by Baker for a
daring robbery in the Chambers of John Stuart,
Esq., the Barrister, New-square, Lincoln's-inn,
where it appeared the robber entered the premises
from the area window, and stole a handsome
mahogany writing desk, of considerable value,
and supposed to contain a quantity of plate froni
ifs weight. Mr. Stuart, however, being in the
country, its contents was not ascerta►ned. The
prisoner, on being pursued with the cry of stop
thief, threw away the property, and was instantly
apprehended.—lie was fully committed for trial.

THE,. LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Pliers, Sept. 21.

[NEW TIMES.]
We have received the Etoile dated on Sunday.
This, as well as all the other French Journals,
continues to be filled with Addresses to the ne'w
King, and his answers, which are at once modest
and dignified, manly, and feeling. 13y the pri-
vate accounts of Saturday's date, several private
transactions in the Funds are stated to have been
done at mor. 20c. to 40c. which, considering the
recent deduction of the dividend, makes the price
equal to nearly 3 per cent. above par. These let-
ters repeat the belief, that upon the meeting of
the Chambers in December, after the preliminary
proceedings consequent upon the commencement
of the new reign Are completed, a modified plan
for the reduction of the Rentes will certainly he
attempted. The plan wilt, it is said, exclude
the must objectionable points contained in the
former ; and it is considered that if such a plan
had been attempted in the first instance, it must
have been carried. Consols yesterday reached9si,
but finally closed at 051. Although there was
no additional intelligence from the South
American Republics, the Securities experi-
enced a further advance in price. Mexican-
ponds at one moment had reached GO, but they
closed at bBi. Colo'mb'ian Scrip was at 61, but
closed at 7f discount. Chili Bonds were about
one per cent. higher. The Brazilian Scrip ad-
vanced one per cent. premium, but closed at one
per cent. discount. It was not generally known
that the Sparrowhawk had so nearly reached her
port of destination with the specie for the Bra-
zilian Government. Her arrival will doubtless
produce a very favourable impression at Rio
Janeiro. Some purchases in the French Funds
were made here at 1001. ex. dividend, and the
French Scrip at I I premium. Russian and
Prussian Bonds maintain their prices.---A failure
to some extent was announced—a Member of
the Stock Exchange, and whose losses have arisen
in the foreign market. Several others of a less
extensive nature also took place.

EMORNINC/ HERALD.'
Saturday's Paris Papers arrived last night.—
They contain scarcely any thing but Court news,
and public felicitations to the new King. lii the
Addresses and Answers on such an occasion there
is much of unavoidable monotony. One sentence
only which fell from Charles X. is of any inte-
rest. It is the assurance of his intention to main-
tain the Charter, and his determination to con-
voke the Chambers in December,pursuant to the
intentions of the deceased King. Perhaps it is
worth observing that the new Sovereign, in his
address to the Diplomatic Corps, states that his
tole ambition was to make his policy and reign
a continuation of the policy and reign of his bro-
ther, for the good of France and the peace and
union of all Europe. MI those'assurancts, how-
ever, are too vague to give any ground of conjec-
ture as to the course to be pursued by him. The
Court is held at St. Cloud, and the presentations
there have been numerous and brilliant beyond
example.

• [MORN 1 NC.}
We have received by express, French Papers
to the 19th inst. and the Etoile of Sunday.—
They are still filled, with details of the last me-
talents of the deceased Sovereign, and with At 4
dresses presented to the new. Theanswers to these
Addresses are uniformly kind and satisfactory,—
Charles X. whatever the expectations of the Ul-
tras may have been, or may still be, promises in
the most solemn manner not to depart from the
policy followed by his brother, and above to
respect and maintain the Constitutional Charter
given by that brother to the nation. These
declarations:are the more important as the party
lately drlien out of power , had placed its
hopes'in the death of the late and the accession
of the present monarch. The long-dreamed of
counter-revolution was to be completed 'when
Monsieur should hold the sceptre, end the
poli-
tics of the Pavillon Marsam were to become those
of the throne. These anticipations would have
created general alarm when the .health of Louis.
XVIII. began to be seriously affected, hadmot
the conduct of the Heir Apparent displayed a
considerable change.. From having been the
avowed opponent of the Ministers, he became, us
it were, their colleague.. All the measures
which they proposed to the King ,were, 'also
submitted to his judgment and decision,: end
long before he was armed with authority to esta-
blish a system of his own, he found himself gra-
dually drawn in, and completely involved in the
existence of another. Thero is no doubt, there-
fore, that the. assurances given by Charles-X. in
his replies are sincere. Ills peculiar characte-
ristic indeed is sincerity. Ile is not a man of po-
licy like his brother, but, he is a wan Who car-
ries much of the open feeling, scrupulous ho-
nesty, and romantic honour of the chivalric ages
to the throne. Ills reign, therefore, will be one
of liberality and justice, unless the vice at-
tendant ott open dispositions, too great tt confi-
dence in the-honesty of others, should betray him
into the bands of the artful and designing.

A highly respectable mercantile house in the
City has received dispatches from feline, dated
the 4th of May, from which we learn that at that
period the "Independent squadron was closely
blockading the port of Callao, and that the Pa-

time, are not idle ; they are actively employed
in putting the city in the best possible state of
defence, by repairing their fortifications, and
erecting new works, which the presence of an
additional force will give them the power of gar-
risoning, so that an obstinate resistance may be
expected. These warlike preparations have ex-
'cited considerable alarm among the merchants,
who are losing no time hi shipping their goods on
board of the vessels in the harbour, as the only
place of security, should matters come to extre-

deem the city impregnable.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]

There has lately been a singular exhibition a

Cork. A Meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary Bible
Society of the County and CitTof,Cork was sum-
moned, for the purpose of hearing the Hon. Mr.
Noel, And Lieutenant Gordon, of the Royal
Navy, now travelling in Ireland in order to pro-
mote the-objects of the Institution. On Thurs-
day,'the -9th instant, the Court-house of Cork
was crowded with ladies and gentlemen, and the
business commenced, seemingly under the most
favourable auspices; but when Mr. Noel and
Lieut. Gordon had spoken, Mr. Shiell, the
tholic Barrister, unexpectedly presented himself
to the attention of the Meeting, in opposition to
the object of it, and from thence forward its
character was changed. That the battle might
be fairly fought out, the Meeting was adjourned
over to Friday, and the Whole terminated not
Much to the edification of either party. Mr.
O'Connell and Mr.- Brie as well its Mr. Shiell
made long speeches on the occasion. Thiacombat
between fanaticism and superstition has no very
great a t tractioes for us, The one party would have
you believe that you have only to distribute
bibles among the peasantry, and they ,will at
once change their habits, and becomeindustrioui
thriving, and contented. The other party, again,
reproach the distributors of the bibles with what
constitutes the great recommendation. of Protest.
antistn to a Philosopher, namely, that freedom of
inquiry necessarily supposes diversity of opinion.
We trust.the Report of the Parliamentary Com-
missioners now in Ireland, on an inquiry respect-
ing education, will take a more comprehensive
view of this important subject than that which
is taken by either of these parties.
Mr. Sitmi.r. observed '° The lower classes of the Protestant
community are driven into a sort of Biblical insanity, by this
system of excitation, and inalbess now a days almost invaria-
bly assumes a religious character. lie (Mr. Shia]) would
state a, singular fact of the lunatics in the Asylum in this city ;
there info avast number whose mental malady was connected
with religion, and amongst those who laboured under that pecu-
liar insanity, there was not a single Catholic. This circuit.
stance was stated by the benevolent Physician who supetin-
tended the hospital, in a very able work, and that Gentleman
himself a strenuous Protestant."

We can very easily believe this statement, The
,Catholic is taught from his infancy to resign him-
self in religious matters blindly to the guidance
of his Priest, for the moment he inquires he
ceases to be a Catholic, and therefore the respon-
sibility, as it were, being thrown an the Priest,
he is a stranger to all uneasiness and apprehen-
sion. An insane man is not likely to be un-
man on account 'of what never troubled him
when in u sound state. A Protestant, on the
other hand, cannot devolve on another this re-;
sponsibility ; and as his chance of salvation or
reprobation depends on hlihself, if he is a sin-
cere believer, lie naturally feels anxiety on this
point while sane, and that respecting which
Ise was anxious while sane, will often make
him. uneasy when insane. We should suppose
.that a man who has been often at a lass to make
good his payments will, on becoming insane, re-
main uneasy respecting pecuniary matters, while
the same uneasiness would hardly be felt by one
who was always a stranger to care as to his sup-
pori. The proper, way to state this question is,
what is the proportion between the insane Catho-
lics and Protestants, reference being had to the
numbers of each religion. . Even this, however,
would hardly be fair, because there is a much
greater number of Protestants than of *Catholics
in trades and professions, in which the mind is
on the stretch. There are few insane individuals

ill lazy and barbarous nations. Nothing is more
amusing than the ussemption by all the fana-
tical speakers of a prodigious moral superio-
rity in the people of this country over all
the rest of Europe. If they mean to say, that
the lower orders possess this superiority, we deny
it. Look to our •commitments and convictions.
The peasantry of France are now and were dur-
ing the whole of the Revolution, much more mo-
ral and honest than the peasantry of this country.
Ask the people of the United States, whether
the German, S WiS9, and Dutch emigrants, or those
from this country, are the most honest, and the
answer will uniformly be the former by many
degrees. There is more spirit and intelligence
in our middle classes, and more mechanical dex-
terity among our artizans; but beyond this our
superiority does not go. We shall become the
laughing-stock of all Europe, if we continue in
this foolish manner to take credit for the virtues
to which we have the least claim.

[Tits TIMES.]
The interest exelted- in the French capital—
rather by the novelty of a Royal death, than by
any strong love for the late King's person, or
sympathy with his so flerings—has already changed
its nature and object. Little is now left to ani-
mate the public attention, but curiosity respect.
in the Measures of the new reign. With re-
gard to the inclinations of Charles X., in all
questions between a liberal policy and one the
tendency of which would be to enlarge and con-
solidate his own Kingly power, there cannot
exist much difference of opinion among men who
have made history or the human heart their
study. The instinct of despotism cannot easily

be eradicated from the soil of which rt is
a native ; and we need not dissemble that
a Bourbon Prince, born, educated, and con•
firmed in those doctrines, or rather habits, which
prevailed at the French Court before the revolu-
tion--a Prince, moreover, deeply wronged, as he
himself thought, by that revolution—wounded

by it ht his fondest prepossessions and banished
by his partisans from all his most favonred enjoy.
ments---was not likely; unless he had been gifted
with the rare capacity of tracing consequences to
their moral causes, to become less monarchical

with the course of those vicissitudes which have

ended by raising him to a throne. That Charles
X., peculiarly circumstanced as he has been, and
in the seemingly flourishing condition which legi-
timacy has now reached throughout Europe,
should conscientiously desire to see his kingdom
purged from every vestige of the revolution, by a
return as near as may be practicable to the point
from which she started in 1787, it is less re-
proach to the feelings than to the understanding
of that Sovereign to conjecture. But with such
an end kept steadily before King Charles, the
question comes as to what are the probabilities
of any marked and immediate change in the
system pursued by his predecessor. If his Ma-
jesty be not satisfied with the progress towards
despotism made within the last two or three
years, we can only say that his expectations
must be somewhat inordinate. The attempt
upon the liberties of France has kept even
pace with that upon the miserable Spaniards,
and the success has been by no means '
less complete. The power of election gone—
of remonstrance gone—of petition reduced
to a mere shadow—a debate in the Cham-
ber of Deputies is the sole resource for
an injured and complaining people. Seeing,
however, what has been done already towards
the grand triuniph of " regular government," and
how promising is the plan at this moment in ope-
ration, it seems doubtful whether the new King
will at first depart from his brother's system,
further than by making room in the Ministry
for some of his own personal friends. If M.
Villele be suffered to keep his place, lie will
of course pny the price of such an indulgence,
by sacrificing every thing but the office. It
is surmised that the higher clergy, being holders
of stock and all-powerful under the new Monarch,
will vigorously follow up the oppositiou to M.
Villele's financial measure, and that he will have
the courtesy to abandon it. In the mean time,
the Prince de Polignac is presumed to have been
already designated to a leading place in the Coun-
cils of King Charles. M. de Polignac, as the
friend of Chateaubriand, may have his quarre►l to
revenge upon Villele : but as fur the resto-
ration of M. Chateaubriand himself to the
Ministry, it must be a bold Cabinet who
would; act with him, after the vindictive and
indecent manner in which he has repeat-
edly exposed his colleagues to public ridicule.
In the meantime the demeanour of the King
since his brother's dissolution has been kind and

becoming to every class of subjects who ad-
dressed him. To one body he promises to main-
tain the charter—(so did Louis, and where is the
charter now ?) To the Nuncio complimenting
his Majesty 44 in the name of the Diplomatic
Body," and in the name of that body (not in-
cluding England, we presume) calling upon
Charles to adhere to the principles of the Holy
Alliance, he replies, that his sole ambition will
be " to continue the policy so well pursued by
44 his brother," and that " he desires to do as
well for the good of France " as for the peace,
and union of all Europe." He continues, therefore,
to oppress and torment the Spaniards, and to de-
prive his own people of the use of free discussion.
We do not believe that Charles X. is capable of
what he knows to be a bad intention ; we only

Amongst the various
.subjects of speculation
which have of late engaged the' attention of our leading Ca.
dealists, we learn that the enlargement and deepening of the
line of Canal between Portsmouth and London, so as to make
it a Ship Canal, is, one that has obtained their serious consi.
iteration, and is likely soon to become a fivoutite object with
them. As there cannot be a doubt either of the practicability
or of the Immense advantage of such an Undertaking' • we sin-
cerely wish it may meet with warm advocates and supporters,:
both in London and in the country
and we trust the time is
not distant when the present unavoiClable delays and risks of a
circuitous Coasting and Channel Navigation, will be complete-
ly avoided, by a safe and' steady communication, by ships of
large burthen, between Porlamouth and the Metropolis.
The Public are cautioned not to listen to the
story of a person, who is begging money of Dissenters, in these
towns, for the alleged purpose of finishing two chapels at St.
Austle's, in Cornwall; as it has been proved he has no cornice;

Teleirt(ph.
RUSTY Nair..--Alitien Dr. DONNE took
possession of his first living, he strolled into the
church-yard, 'where the sexton was digging a
grave, anti throwing up a skull. The Doctor
having taken it up, found a rusty.nail,fixed in the
temple, which be drew out and wrapped in his
handkerchlef. Having asked the sexton if lie
knew whose it was, he was told it belonged to
an honest but drunken man who kept u brandy
shop, and having one night drank more than usual,
was the next morning found dead in his bed.'
The man, he farther added, had a wife, who
bore an excellent character, though she had been
blamed for marrying too soon after the burial of
her husband. The DoCtor now called upon this
woman, entered into some conversation with her)
and heard from her the same account of the hos.
band's death, upon which he opened suddenly
his handkerchief and exclaimed, 44 Woman, 'do
you know this nail ?" Struck with horror at the
unexpected sight, she immediately confessed the
horrid deed, and being brought to trial, was soon
after executed.

REMORSE.—An elephant in the Deccan, from
some motive of revenge, killed his cornack, or
conductor. The mates widow, who witnessed
the dreadful scene, took her two children, and
threw them at the feet of the enraged animal,
saying, " since you have slain my husband, take
also my life, as well as that of my children."—
The elephant instantly stopped, relented, and, as
if stung with remorse, took up the eldest boy
with his trunk, placed him on its neck, adopted
him for his cornack, and would not suffer any
other person to mount him.

A MAI) WOLF.---A mad wolf lately rushed
out of the forest of Metz, situated in the corn.
munes of Tonquin and Maupertuis, in France,
ran furiously over the neighbouring country, and
bit eleven persons and a great number of cattle.
Five persons and many of the cattle have died in
consequence.
