kick the beam without that assistance, perhaps more
necessary elsewhere.
The Queen's army at Cartaxo remains in a state of
irksome inactivity and repose. Saldanha continues in
the command, and, I believe, is cured of his fretful
longings for changes and extension of powers. The
enemy having received reinforcements of two veteran
regiments and new levies of troops, the Marshal must
carefully watch him in his strong positions, and will
hardly be able to undertake any extensive operations
until the combined movements in the north and south
begin to tell. Simultaneous risings in five different
places in the north in favour of the Queen are now
preparing. The parties have applied to government
for assistance, which, in consecucnce thereof, despatched
the George IV. steamer the night before last, with
arms, money, and leaders, to Oporto and other ports
on the northern coast. There is no doubt but that
some, if not the whole of these intended risings will
succeed, and that Don Miguel will be compelled to
detach a large portion of his army at Santarem, to
save the important fortress of Almeida, and other vital
points, when Saldanha may seize the opportunity to
pounce upon any of the marching columns, or, if he
should find a chance, on the main body of the army
itself.

Amongst the various combinations now in progress,
I ought to mention also the secret mission of Mr.
Chester, Lord William Russell's Secretary, to the
island of Madeira, which, of course, must have the
sanction of the British Government, as the Ambas-
sador would hardly interfere in such a matter, without
that concurrence. The inhabitants of Madeira,
though divided in parties for and against the Usurper,
are said to be determined to await the issue of the
contest in Portugal, before they declare in favour of
either belligerent, and the Governor-General Alvarez
is equally determined to maintain Don Miguel's autho-
rity, as long as the Usurper retains an inch of ground
in the kingdom of Portugal. Mr. Chester sailed,
therefore, it is supposed, to negotiate proposals for an
amicable arrangement.
Desertion continues from the Miguelite army,
though only on a moderate scale ; but the rank of the
parties coming over makes up for the smallness of their
numbers. A colonel, two privates, and a corporal of
cavalry, having presented themselves on Thursday, at
the Palace of Necessidades, coming from Salvaterra,
and a Surgeon and Ensign of the 23d Regiment, from
Santarem, arrived at the head-quarters at Cartaxo.
The abovementioned Colonel was Lopez Matta, of the
10th Cavalry. Yesterday only two deserters came
over.

HOUSE OF LORDS.--(THIS DAY.)

SCOTT V. STEWART.
Their Lordships proceeded with this part-heard ap-
peal the arguments in which had not concluded when
our reporter left.

The Lords present were the LORD CHANCELLOR,
Viscount MELBOURNE, and the Bishop of HEREFORD.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY).

James Hennessey was brought before Mr. HALLS
and Mr. WILLIAMS, charged with interrupting a police.
man in the execution of his duty.
Police constable Wakerley, F 138, stated that he
was in Holborn yesterday between one and two o'clock.
He saw a crowd, and when he arrived found that it
was caused by two orange-stall men fighting. Ac-
cording to his instructions he ordered both to go about
their business, which they were about to do quietly
when the prisoner interfered, and said the witness
had exceeded his duty, and strongly recommended
the men not to go away, as in his opinion they
were perfectly justified in stopping where they were.
Witness told him he was only doing his duty, and
advised him also to go on and say nothing. Prisoner
then got very violent, and threatened to report his
conduct to the Commissioners ; and if that did not do, he
would then go to Lord Melbourne. The mob took
courage, and began to hiss witness, and he was obliged
to take prisoner into custody.
The prisoner said he considered he was perfectly
justified in what he had done, and he would do so
again if he saw a policeman behaving in the same
way.
Mr. HALLS said he was of a different opinion, and
he must teach him that such conduct would not be
allowed. The police, when in the strict discharge of
their duty, were not to be meddled with by every cox-,
comb that pleased..

The pri;oner (who said he belonged to a morning
paper), complained most bitterly of such an 'epithet
being applied to him, and he was still of opinion that
he was right and the magistrate wrong.
Mr. HALLS said, in order to teach him better in fu-
ture, he must pay a fine of 5/. or be committed to the
House of Correction for one month.

• The prisoner was removed from the bar, at the same
time protesting against the decision.

PORTSMOUTH, JULY 8.

The Russian brig Carolina, J. M. Arenant master, arrived
this afternoon in thirty days from Lisbon, having on board 177
refugee Spaniards, of whom 92 are officers. From circum-
stances Admiral Parker suspected, that the cruisers of the
Queen- Regent of Spain would intercept this vessel, and there-
fore to insure the safety of persons who had sought a sort of
refuge, and had embarked under the guarantee of the British
flag, he sent the Rolla brig of 10 guns, Lieutenant Glasse, to
escort her to England ; but strange to say, no sooner does she
anchor here, than the Russian Vice-Consul delivers a letter to
the Russian Commander, from Mr. Bankhausen, the Russian
Consul-General in London, telling him that these Spaniards
will not be allowed to land at Hamburg, to which place they
are destined, nor at any of the Hanse towns. Surely this
must be a gratuitous assumption on the part of Mr. Bank-
hausen ; or is it a secret Article in the late Continental Con-
ferences, that all the free towns in the Germanic States are
to be under the commands of the tri-partite Powers ? As the
ship wants provisions, the Spanish Consul has written to Don
Carlos, stating the dilemma these refugees are thrown into.
Perhaps they may be compelled to land, in which case it will
be an odd coincidence if they should be obliged to partake of
the 10,000/. grant to the Poles—a sort of olla podrida refu-
gees from absolute pursuers in the North, sitting down at a
charity dinner at Portsmouth with refugees from liberal pur-
suers in the South.

ESTABLISHED CHURCH.

Petitions were presented in favour of the Established
Church by Earl FARNHAM, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and the
Duke of GLOUCESTER.

CHIMNEY-SWEEPERS BILL.

The Duke of SUTHERLAND brought up the report of
the Committee on the Bill.
SLAVE TRADE.

Earl GREY laid papers on the table respecting the Slave
Trade.—Ordered to be printed.
IRISH COERCION BILL.

On the order of the day being read for the receiving of the
Report on this Bill,
Earl GREY hoped the House would allow him to defer the
receiving of the report till to-morrow, when he moved that the
Lords should be summoned.

The Duke of BUCKINGHAM said, that although the
motion of the Noble Earl might be considered as a matter of
course, yet as he considered it in this instance a most extra-
ordinary step on the part of the Noble Earl, he
could not allow it to pass without some observations.
(Hear, hear.) The day was just arriving when the Act
now in existence would expire ; the necessity of the measure
had been strongly pressed upon the House by the Noble Earl,
who stated that it was essential to the safety and peace
of Ireland, and yet after all he had stated, he came down to
the House and asked to delay a measure for twenty-four
hours, on the passing of which, according to his own state-
ment, was balanced the peace of Ireland.—( Hear, hear.)
He thought the request so extraordinary that some explana-
tion ought to be given why it was made.
Earl GREY said that if their Lordships were called
upon to risk, even by the delay of twenty-four
hours, the safety of Ireland, there might be some
reason for the observations of the Noble Duke ; but
he was quite sure so short a delay in the further progress of
a Bill which had only two stages to pass through, could have
no such effect, and that being the case, he should persevere in his
request that their Lordships would delay the receiving of
the report till to-morrow. He had sufficient reasons to ask
their Lordships for that indulgence ; but he desired that be
might not now be asked to state what those reasons were.
The Duke of CUMBERLAND—AIthough he had no
doubt that the Noble Earl had sufficient reasons for the course
he had adopted, he still thought the Noble Duke was justified
in the course he had adopted.
The Duke of BUCKINGHAM thought it extraordinary
that the Noble Earl should advocate the great necessity of the
measure yesterday, and come down and ask for the postpone-
ment to-day.—( Hear: )
London, England, 1834-07-09

POOR. LA-W
AMENDMENT BILL.

On the order of the day for the second reading of the Bill
being read,
Earl GREY said that it was with great reluctance that he
felt it also necessary to move for the cancelling of the order
for the second reading of the Bill. He would put it off till a
further opportunity. He would name the day to-morrow.
The Earl of MALME SBURY said he was put in a diffi-
cult situation by the course pursued by the Noble Earl.—
( Hear, hear, hear.) He had come down prepared to submit
his resolution to the house, but he was so circumstanced
that he did not know whether, on a future occasion, he
would be able to do so. He would determine, in the in-
terval, whether he would do so or not.
Earl GREY would indeed regret any circumstance that
would postpone the passing of
i the bill until another ses-
sion, for he considered that t was one of very great
importance. He could assure the Noble Earl that it was not
out of any want of courtesy that he had not given him notice,
for he had only learned it himself that morning.
The Bills on the table were advanced a stage, but amidst
such confusion from the Noble Lords leaving the House, that
we could not hear the names.—The House then adjourned.
London, England, 1834-07-09

The prisoner had nothing to say and was fully committed.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

ASSAULTING RESPECTABLE FEMALES.—A practice has
lately become very prevalent amongst a parcel of low
blackguard fellows of insulting respectable females after
nightfall, whenever they can meet with them unprotected
in the public streets ; the excuse for such cowardly con-
duct is, generally, that they were intoxicated at the time.
Yesterday several assaults of the above, description were
heard before Messrs. WHITE and BUItRELL at this office.

A fellow named William Kill, of James-street, New Cut,
was charged with being drunk, and assaulting Mary Car-
penter, of 13, Bernard-street, Blackfriars-road.
The Magistrates ordered him to pay a fine of 20s. to
the King.
George Peter, of New-way, Tothill-street, another valiant
hero of the same stamp, was charged with assaulting Mrs.
Gurr, a respectable married female, of Lewisham-street,
Storey's-gate.
The defendant denied the charge, and called two wit-
nesses, one John Mooney and a fellow named Burton.
As soon as the witnesses entered the office, they were
recognized as two persons who had assisted in the assault,
and Mr. WHITE ordered them also to be placed at the bar,
with the defendant ; and the magistrates fined them all
three 20s. each, to the great discomfiture of the two
witnesses.
London, England, 1834-07-09

WAGGONS ON SPRINGS.

Mr. F. BARING brought in a Bill to alter and amend the
3d of George IV., for the regulation of turnpike roads, so far
as related to weights carried by waggons on springs.
Read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on
Monday next.
Adjourned at half-past nine o'clock.

A barber's apprentice, in the neighbourhood of the
Mint, becoming jealous of a young sempstress to whom he was
paying his addresses, induced her on Wednesday to accompany
him to the Bois de Boulogne. On coming to that part of the
wood called Le Fond des Princes he placed a pistol to her
head and killed her. He then reloaded his pistol and at-
tempted to shoot himself, but only succeeded in breaking his
lower jawbone. He was arrested, and is in prison.—French
Paper.
THE THAIS PACKET.—It is well known to our
readers that this vessel has not been heard of for some months,
and the conclusion arrived at is that she is lost. If this wanted
confirmation, it is possible that the following may in a great
measure suffice :—On the sth of April a strange boat was dis-
covered by the officer of the preventive station in Roundstone
Bay, on the coast of Galway, Ireland, high and dry on some
rocks a short distance from the land. They immediately rowed
to her, and on examination thought she was a foreign-built
boat, being, as they reported, " sealed outside with diagonal
planking," but on opening_ a piece of the painter which was
attached to the boat, the king's mark was discovered ; and
on further search being made, additional proof was found of
her identity as belonging to his Majesty. This they reported
to their officer, and by him to the Board of Admiralty, who
immediately wrote to this yard, where the Thais was fitted
out, to ascertain the nature of the boats which were supplied
to the Thais when she was fitting here, when it was found
that a 21-foot boat was issued to her of Mr. John's, the
master boat-builder's, new construction—namely, double
diagonal planking. This being so stated, the Board ordered
the boat to be sent round for the purpose of being fully
identified, and which the Jupiter landed this week at the
dock-yard, when it was identified by Mr. Johns.—Plymouth
Journal.
London, England, 1834-05-03

TRADE WITH PORTUGAL.

Mr. ROBINSON said it was his intention, as he saw
the noble lord ( Palmerston) in his place, to ask him whether
he had received any information concerning an edict issued
in Portugal affecting the commerce of this with that country.
The SPEAKER reminded the hon. member that he
was not strictly in order by pursuing the course he was fol-
lowing, as the order of the day was then about to be read.
Mr. FINN rose for the purpose of presenting some
petitions on the subject of tithes, but was interrupted by
The SPEAKER, who intimated that the Irish Church
Temporalities Bill stood first on the list that evening.
Mr. ROBINSON said, as he was prevented from
putting his question at the present, he should embrace
he first opportunity he could obtain for that purpose. The
proposition he was about to make affected the commerce
of the country, and he considered that a subject of such
importance occupied too little time in that house.
The SPEAKER remarked, that he threw no obstacl
in the hon. gentleman's way, except what the per-
e
formance of his duty bound him to do. (Hear, hear,
hear.) Had it been the will of the house that the
hon. member should proceed with his question, he might
have done so, but as he was not actually in possession, he
conceived he did not prevent him, except inasmuch as he
was performing his duty.
Mr. ROBINSON would not obtrude himself unne-
cessarily on the attention of the house, but as he
saw the noble lord (Palmerston) in his place, he was
anxious to know whether the Government had
recognised the decree issued by the court of Portugal
to which he had alluded. If the house were not disposed
to hear him then, he should give notice for bringing it
under their consideration on Monday next.
Lord PALMERSTON observed that he understood
that the hon. gentleman had a question to propose, and
he therefore came down for the purpose of hearing it put ;
but he perceived a notice on the order book from the hon.
gentleman which he did not understand.
Mr. ROBINSON was merely anxious to know whether
the government had received any intimation from Portugal,
as he had in a private manner, concerning the decree
issued in that country, which equalized all goods im-
ported into that kingdom.
Lord PALMERSTON stated in reply, that he received
information only on the previous day, that a reduction
to the amount of 15 per cent was made on the duty levied
on all British goods imported into Portugal.

THE OATH OF THE UNIONISTS.

I [each party here to repeat his name], being in the
presence of Almighty God and this assembly, do voluntarily
declare that I will persevere in maintaining and itippOrting
a brotherhood, kno*n by the naive of the United Opera-
tive of the Grind National Consolidated
Trades' 1./nion of Great Britain and Ireland, and I do
further promise that I will, to the utmost of my power,
assist them, upon all just and lawful occasions, to obtain
just remuneration for our labour ; nor will I ever knowingly
fill the situation of, or finish the ii;-dric Of, any brother who
has left his employer in obedience to the ordinances and re-
gulationS of the consolidated union aforesaid ; and I call the
mighty power who made me to witness this my most solemn
obligation by which I bind myself that neither hopes nor
fears, rewards nor punishments, or even the law of life itself,
shall ever induce me directly or indirectly, to give infor-
mation respecting anything contained in this lodge,
—and that I will neither write, nor cause to be
wtitten anything appertaining thereto upon paper,
or upon anything else whatsoever, but for the
purposes of the aforesaid union ; and I do further pro-
mise to keep inviolable all its rules, signs, and se-
crets. Neither will I ever give consent to have any
of its moneys divided, or appro s riated to any other
purpose than to the uses of this. 1 • , and for the end of
the aforesaid consolidated union.

And may God keep roe steadfast in this my most solemn
obligation,

This day was published, in 3 vols., post Bvo.,

FIUST ACE CONWAY;
or, THE BROTHER and SISTER.

" The characters who figure prominently in this work
are drawn with great truth and spirit. The effects of
experience and the first lessons of society are well deve-
loped in each. It possesses a vast deal of talent. The
sketch of Kieu:zner, the German scholar, is so original,
so peculiar, and so national, that we wonder how it
could have been written by an Englishman. This alone.
would mark the talent of the writer."—Literary Gazette.

MISS EDGEWORTH'S NEW WORK.
This day was published, in 3 vols. post Bvo ,
H E L E N.
By MARIA EDGEWORTH.

" Miss Edgeworth's novels tell of no change, no age in
the authoress ; there is no wrinkle in her page. ' Helen'
is quite worthy to rauk with her happiest productions."
—Morning Herald.
" The qualities which have placed Miss Edgeworth in
the first rank of English novelists will here he found in
all their excellence. Pictures full of truth and beauty,
situations often dramatic, always iuteresting."— Quoti-

,‘ We are not aware till we try to ley down her volumes
that we are on charmed ground, and under the spell of an
en chantress."—Athenm3m.

TRADES, MANUFACTURES, AND PROFES-

This day was published, in one thick volume•, price 84.,
THE BOOK OF PENALTIES;
or Summary of the Pecuniary Penalties inflicted
by the Laws of England, on the Commercial, Manufac-
turing, Trading, and Professional Classes, in their sever,'
Occupations and Businesses. With an Abstract of the
LOCAL ACTS AND CUSTOMS OF LONDON,
Relative to Commerce, Trade, and Residence.
By the Autbor of " The Cabinet Lawyer," &e.
" The great object is that of showing the public the
various snares to which the law exposes them. Such a
work was grievausly wanted ; it must become a manual
in the bands of all clan-es. It is recommended by the
great wilily of its matter and its accuracy ; to persons in
business it is indispensable, and to persons out of business,
who imagine that they can enjoy their golden leisure un-
molested by the troubled spirit of the law, it will be
found quite as necessary as the Almsnack."—Atlas.

LADY'S MAGAZINE.

The great recommendatory feature in the num-
ber before us, is the portrait of Mary, Queen of
Scots, which is very richly and gracefully coloured,
and the countenance of which is marked by infinite
sweetness and delicacy, dashed by a shade Of rtieiah-
choly, such as Scott has remarked on in his fine
romance of the " Abbot."

COURT OF CHANCERY, MAY 2..

The Long CHANCELLOR, after hearing the argu-
Lents in two appeals, gave judgment in the following

case :

LOUGH V. PETERS.

His Loans'in. said that Mr. John Eason, the bro-
ther of Elizabeth Eason, by his will, dated June, 1816,
after making different bequests, devised his property
to his sister Elizabeth, who, by her will, dated Oct,
16, 1828, gave to the plaintiff, Mr. John Louch, an
annuity or clear yearly sum of 5001., to be paid out of
certain land, specified in her will to have been be-
queathed to her by her brother; and the testatrix also,
directed that the annuity in question was to be paid
free from all taxes and deductions, and gave the usual
power of distress, to the amount of 500/., on the land.
The question now before tilt Court was, whether the
annuity was subject to legacy duty, and his Honour
the Master of the Rolls, from whose decision the pre-
sent was an appeal, had been clearly of opinion, when
the matter had come before him, that it was exempted
from legacy duty by the directions in the will. He
agreed in the conclusion to which his Honour had.
come ; consequently, he should affirm his Honour's
decree, with- costs.

intended to lead from the Strand to York-street,
Covent-garden, with a view of facilitating the build-
ing of the new houses, to be erected there; so that
when the new theatre is erected, the approach to the
grand entrance will not be impeded, nor the public
inconvenienced. It was intended to macadamize the
street, but the intention has been abandoned, and it is
to be handsomely paved, and the obstructions which
interfered and retarded its progress being now re-
moved, it will be finished without delay. The two
houses that abutted opposite Charles-street are taking
down, so that Tavistock-street and York-street, when
the improvements are finished, will be in a straight
line, and the present unsightly obtrusion will be re-
moved. This improvement will cost 70,000/.

LIFE OF THE LATE MR. SALT.—The bio-
graphy of the late Consul-General of Egypt, now on
the eve of publication, is derived from original docu-
ments confided to Mr. Halls, the personal friend of
Salt. The volumes will be rich in letters to and from
many of the distinguished personages of the day ; and
will include a narrative of Salt's life from his early
days to his death, embracing his remarkable adventures
in Abyssinia and Egypt, with an account of his im-
portant discoveries in the latter ancient country, his
transactions with Mahommed Ali, and his intercourse
with Belzoni, Caviglia, and other eastern travellers.
The life of Salt will, perhaps, be the most authentic
and important work connected with Egypt which has
ever been published.

THE MAGAZINES.

ASIATIC JOURNAL.

There is a more than ordinary spirit and variety
in this month's Asiatic. " The Origin of the Story
of Shylock," which is traced to the East, is curious,
though the story has had so many fathers; the West
as well as the East having put in its claims of pater-
nity, that it is impossible to say on Which the order
of affiliation should be Made. Italy, we fielieVe; fias
the best right to the story ; at any rate her right
is pi-escriptive, and should not at this time of day
be disturbed. For ages past the East has been a
' sort of Foundling Hospital for all traditions of un-
known or doubtful origin. Whenever historian,
philosopher, or antiquarian has been unable to assign
the true locality of any curious legend or custom,
he has invariably given it an eastern origin—an
easy mode of getting rid of a world of research and
difficulty, which *e cannot too Warmly recommend:.
Sir Wni. Jones tried it to adtaritage in his theory of
the Trinity, which he settled much to his comfort
(after having got many a headache by foolishly and
unavailingly poring for the subject) by marrying it to
the Hindoo Trimourti. On the whole, we have
been more pleased with this number than with any
that has appeared for months.

A WALKING DRESS.

A green cashmere coat, much in request for the sea side ; it has
the same skirt as a frock, with only this difference, that it drops
short of the front by four inches ; the edges are bound ; fancy gilt
buttons, and a collar of velvet the same colour. Waistcoat of broad
checked marscilla, single-breasted, with roll collar. Cossack trou-
sers, fulled in to a band, and narrow at bottom.
London, England, 1834-07-31

to bend the guard of the cutlass, and thereby to cause it
to press on the hand of the prosecutor, which it also
wounded, causing it to fall powerless by his side. Dunn
then struck a second blow at the prosecutor, which hit him
on the forehead ; this inflicted a severe wound, and at the
same time felled him to the ground, where he lay in a state
of insensibility. When his senses returned he found him-
self in the Red Lion public-house. He was then very
faint from the loss of blood. It appeared, however, by the
evidence of his wife, that upon his becoming insensible she
got the pitchfork out of Dunn's hands and ran and hid
it, and that on her return she saw Greene and Dunn
beating him with sticks as he lay on the ground. A sur-
geon was sent for, and he dressed the prosecutor's wounds
and bled him, after which he was carried to his own house,
which he was unable to leave for nine days. After the
prosecutor was taken into the public-house he was followed
by Green, who seems to have rushed in in a very desperate
and furious manner. He asked where Madan was, declaring
that "he would murder him to a certainty," when he was
stopped by one of the preventive men, to whom he repeated
his determination to take the prosecutor's life, and that of
any man who hindered him. These were the general fea-
tures of the case as sworn to by the witnesses for the pro-
secution, who were in no degree shaken by the cross exa-
mination.

For the defence several witnesses were called, the pur-
port of whose testimony was, that the prosecutor was com-
pletely drunk on the evening in question, and that he was
the aggressor instead of being the person injured.
Mr. Serjeant STORKS was about to reply, when the
jury intimated that it was unnecessary, and they immediately
found all the defendants Guilty, accompanying their ver-
dict with two recommendations—the one that Crasp be
mercifully dealt with by the Court in awarding punishment ;
the other, that two of the witnesses for the defendants, a
Mrs. Cable and John Ringwood, be prosecuted for perjury.
