i'.„/ NY Messrs. Hooper and Askew wrote down to Mr. Pike to
acquaint him with that circumstance, and Mr. Pike lost
no time in apprising the Post-office of the loss, and furnish-
`".....• ing the numbers and description of the notes missing.
Mr. Peacock, the solicitor of that establishment, immedi-
ately sent to Messrs. Mesterman and Co., bankers, in
Lombard-street, at whose house the Glastonbury notes
were made payable, apprising them of the numbers and
Oates, and requesting that any person by whom they might
lie presented should he detained. These precautions led to
the apprehension of the prisoner, who, on Wednesday last,
presented the four notes in question, and requested
sovereigns in
payment. The prisoner stated that he had
received them in payment for wearing apparel of different
d2.criptions, from two men, who said they were about to
embark in a vessel then in St. Katharine's Dock, f .r. New
South Wales. The prisoner, on being taken to the
office of Mr. Peacock, was recognised by him as having
been before charged, on three several occrsions, with
having stolen notes in his possession, a het which I e did
not deny. His house was searched, but nothing was die •

He trusted, however, that the meeting would have the pleasure
of hearing that Noble Lord before they separated. It had bee
said that they were not to introduce politics ; but he hoped they
might be allowed to introduce domestic politics, provided they
were not English politics. It was impossible that they could
direct their minds to consider of the cause of Poland,
without at the same time connecting it deeply with politics,
and with those great principles by which nations should
be governed.—(Hear, hear.) If ever there was on the
face of the earth a nation ill used, or if in the history of man-
kind there was ever a people in whom there was a greater de-
gree of energy, zeal, and patriotic devotedness, and at the same
time a nation devoted to the loss of every thing in the world
save their own honour, that was the Polish nation.—(Cheers.)
Therefore, it was a question of national politics.—(Hear.)

He was remanded for a week, to give time for inquiries.
MARLBOROUGH STREET.

On Saturday James Hood was brought before Mr.
DYER, charged with having committed a violent assault on
his wife on Sunday evening last.
The complainant, whose appearance afforded a singular
contrast to that of her husband--she being of very lady-
like deportment, and delicate appearance, and he having
the air and manners of a cab-driver, stated, that for the
last four or five years she had supported her husband by
her indurery, frequently working 19 hours out of tne 24 ;
and he, in return, had been accustomed to use violence
►towards her. To her great astonishment and disgust, on
last Sunday evening she discovered that her husband bad
been for the last seven years carrying on an incestuous in-
tercourse with her sister, by whom he had several children,
and whom he actually had the heartless effrontery to ring
to her house, in Duke•street, and to inform her that for
the future she must receive her in the house as her com-
panion. When she remonstrated on this treatment, and
attempted to prevent the entrance of the abandoned female,
the defendant rushed at her, and struck her a violent
blow on the face.
" Have you got any mark to show ?" said the de-
fendant, gruffly, " 'cause when I hits I always leaves a
mark." The complainant said the bruise bad gone off, as
the blow bad been inflicted a week.
Mr. DYER attempted, without apparent success, to con-
vince the defendant of the heartless nature of his conduct.
The defendant merely answered, that he did not strike
his wife, but gave her a push, because she refused to admit
the woman into Ihe house whom he had introduced to
her. He was ordered to find good bail.
LAMBETH-STREET.

On Saturday Mr. Hamilton, a respectable tobaccanist
in Leman-street, Goodman's-fields, was summoned by th
officers of Whitechapel to show cause why he should not
maintain his daughter-it:law and her three children,
which had become chargeable to the parish in consequence
of the desertion of her husband, the alleged son of the
defendant.
Mr. Bodkin, for the defendant, said his client was c.ern-
pelled, with much reluctance, to offer a defene which.
however, could not be answered—the defendant's son was
illegitimate, and therefore his wife had EN/ legal claim upon
the defendant.
An aged female, named Anne Mole, then came forward
and said she had lived several years with Mr. Hamilton
as his wife, but she had never been marrieJ to him, and
his son was illegitimate.
In consequence of this defence, the case was dismissed.
T HAMES-P 0 LICE.

On Saturday the Hon. Lieutenant Keppel, son of the
Earl of Albemarle, appeared to answer a charge of assault
by Thomas
in which the lieutenant
Gaffney, a seaman be-
longingprefe preferred d
to againstth
came home a passenger from the Isle of Franc,.. Gaffney,
and two other seamen stated, that on the 13th of Dec.,
e shiphim Persian,
being then on their voyage home, the defendant and Dr.
Johnson went from the Persian to visit another vessel ;
and the prosecutor and witnesses formed part of the boat's
crew. On their return the defendant ordered the crew to
lie on their oars. They did so, but the prosecutor, look-
ing over his shoulder, and seeing the vessel waiting, said,
" The ship is aback waiting for us, and if we don't make
haste we shall lose our lives, and I don't want to lose mine
yet." The defendant instantly rose from his seat, end
struck him two severe blows on the face, with his
clenched fist. Ttie prosecutor merely said, " Thank
you, Sir ;" and hailed the ship. The defendant again
struck 1 inn two severe blows, and the prosecutor again
said, "Thank you, Sir." He bailed the ship, fearing they
might lose her.
Lieutenant Keppel said, in his defence, that the com-
plainant was very mutinous, and refused ro pull when he
desired him ; he struck him, fearing his miss induct
might lose the boat.
The Msgistrate said the assault was admitted, and 1 a
should send the case to a jury.
The defendant could bring witnesses to prove the mu-
tiny of the complainant.
The case was adjourned to give him time to produce his
witnesses.

The Regent's Park barrack is, we understand,
shortly to be converted into a public square, the portion
of the property that belongs to Govrrnin nt being about
to be purchased by a private individual for that piirpm.e.
The barrack will then be evablished on the site of the late

ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—The Committee
for managing the outfit, &c., of Captain Baces exp dition
have published a eta•ement of the sub-cription; from
which it appears that with the 2,000/. from Government,
the total amount is 6,0311. 3s. Sib—less by about 300/.
of expenses. Thus the expedition is provided against
two years' expenditure ; but, it is earnestly hoped th t
another 1,000/. may yet he raised to enable it to stay out
the full time proposed—three years. We observe, with
satisfaction, that the sea-ports of Scotland stint' distin.
guished by their liberality towards the humane and pa-
triotic undertaking :—Etinburgh gives 1461. ; Glasgow
190/ ; Greenock 1301. ; Dundee above 501. ; Srranra•r

the only Irish town mentioned (401.); and the vett com-
mercial Liverpool is little mote than 100/. ; Bristol, un-

PIGEON SHOOTING.-TO supply materials
for this not very humane sport, almost all the pigeon.cotes
in the West Riding of Yorkshire have been plundered by
a set of nightly marauders. No sooner is a pigeon match
,'ruck up in Manchester or its neighbourhood, than de-.
spatches are sent into the West Riding of York-hire, oriel,.
ing a supply of pigeons, as a man would order a bale of
woollen cloth, and cart•loads of the victims are forwarded
hence by men who make a trade of this species of plunders
—Leeds Mercury.—[The dove-cotes within 20 miles of
London are also put under contribuion in the same
manner by the thieves who supply pigeons to he shot at by
the cockney squibbing clubs in Battersea-fields.)
MEETING OF INHABITANT RATE-PAYERS
OF THE GROSVENOR-PLACE DISTRICT...-011 Saturday
-iltertxm, at three o'clock, a highly respectable and very
numerous meeting of the inhabitant ratepayers if the
Grosvenor-place district, called the outward of St. Geo- g.'s
At Pimlico, took place in the large room at the Royal
Standard Tavern, in the Vauxhall-road, to receive the re-
s
port of the provincial committee, appointed by the inhabi-
tants, relating to the Act of Parliament of the 7th of Geo.
IV., for paving, &c., the Grosvenor-place dis-
trict, and to the manner in which the said Act had been

Amicable arrangement for the present with the trusters, for
he was determined that they should not have permanent
dominion over them. I( they would not come to some sa-
tisfactory understanding, then he could only say, as
their representative, that he should consider himself bound
to take some course to assert them, either by introducing
mother private Act into Parliament, or introducing an
amendment into his Vestry Bill, and put the power into

could see the necessity of coming to terms, and save the
inhabitants the expense of adopting other measures. It
was then moved that a general committee be appointed to
~me iv the grievances compl Aim(' of, which was agreed to.
Earl FITZWILLIAM would teove a resolution that a sub-
