The object of the Directors in forming this Company is to esta.
blish a regular and frequent communication by means of steam
vessels, calculated for the conveyance of passengers and merchan-
dize, between this country and the principal ports of Spain and
Portugal, particularly Corunna, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and
Gibraltar, in the conviction that the undertaking will only yield
a profitable return upon the capital invested, but prove of important
benefit to the general mercantile interests of each nation.
The Directors have obtained the promise of certain highly bene-
ficial exclusive privileges from the Government of Portugal, and
have good reasons to anticipate a similar grant from that of Spain.
It is proposed that a deposit of 5/. each shall be paid upon the
issue of the shares, and that no subsequent call shall exceed the
like sum per share, or be made at shorter intervals than two months.
Applications for shares may be addressed to any of the Directors,
to Messrs. Willcox and Anderson, 46, Lime-street, or to the
Secretary, at the Company's Offices, No. 6, Broad-street-build-
ings, where prospectuses may be obtained, and applications will be
received.

THAMES POLICE.

It will be recollected that a few days since, Mr. Leach
the vestry clerk, and Mr. Rateliff, the churchwarden of the
hamlet of Ratcliff,applied to Mr. BALLANTINE for a warrant
to apprehend a man named Rogers, who refused to comply
with a order of affiliation made upon him in June last by
the Magistrates for the payment of 3s. 6d. per week for
the support of an illegitimate child, of which he was proved
to be the father, but towards the support of which he has
never paid one farthing, alleging that he is relieved by the
new Poor Law Amendment Act. Mr. Ballantine refused
to grant the warrant on the ground that the former laws
relating to bastardy were relieved by the new Bill. On
Wednesday last Mr. Ratcliff and Mr. Leach made appli-
cation to Mr. Broderip for a similar purpose, and Mr.
Broderip said he should feel no hesitation in granting a
warrant for the enforcement of the order, being of opinion
that there was nothing in the new Act to prevent its being
carried into effect as it was made under the old law.

Yesterday Mr. BALLANTINE took occasion to revert to
the suLjeil,--which is one of some interest to tae parents of
bastards born previous to the new law. Mr. Ballantine
said that the 4th and sth of William IV., c. 70, s. 69,
enacted that, from and after the passing of that Act, so
P.rilarrmin-Tbutiug me Whale of the
Bastardy Laws, " shall, so far as respects any child which
shall be likely to be born, or shall be born, a bastard after
the passing of the Act, the mother or putative father of
such child, be and the same is hereby repealed." The ques-
tion, be thought, was, whether those words, "so far as res-
pects, &c.," be words of limitation, or restriction, or not.
He thought not. Supposing those words, "so far as res-
pects, &c.," had been left out of the Act altogether, would
the effect have been the same " so far as respects any child
which shall be likely to be born, or shall be a bastard after
the passing of this Act, or the mother or putative father of
such child," what difference could it possibly make in the
construction, whether the necessary conclusion be declared
in the Act, or whether it be left to the necessary construc-
tion, the conclusion being the same ? The object of the
Act of Parliament was obvious, but that had not been ef-
fected for want of one limitation or restriction. The pas-
sage should have run thus—" So far only as respects any
child which shall be likely to be born a bastard after the
passing of this Act, or the mother or putative father of
such a child."

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. 8.

(Before Mr. HALSEWELL and a Bench of Magistrates.)
Mrs. Mary Blachburne, a good looking, well-dressed fe-
male, was indicted for assaulting Miss Jane Hollington on the
21st of August last.
Mr. PRENDERGAST appeared for the prosecutrix, and Mr.
HEATON for the defendant.
Mr. PRENDERGAST, in stating the case for the prosecutrix,
observed that the whole affair had arisen from a fit of jealousy,
the defendant and her husband having some time since resided
in the house of the prosecutrix's mother.
Miss Jane Hollington stated that she lived in the service of
Mr. Nicholson, and on the day in question she went, accom-
panied by a fellow servant of the name of Platt, to the house
of her mother, who resided at York-place, Barnesbury-park,
Islington. On returning they had to pass the house of the
defendant, in Wilson-street. She was standing at the door,
and the moment she perceived the complainant she commenced
a volley of abuse, and took up several brick-bats and oyster-
shells, which sbe threw at the prosecutrix, which injured her
very much. She became very much alarmed, and endea-
voured to get out of the way of the defendant as quick
as she possibly could. After the prosecutrix and her
companion had got some little distance into Copenhagen-
fields it began to rain, and Platt went back to prosecutrix's
mother's for an umbrella. As soon as Platt had left her,
Mrs. Blackburne' the defendant, proceeded to the Fields, and
again commenced her attacks upon the prosecutrix.
Cross-examined by Mr. HEATON.—The defendant and her
husband had resided in the house of prosecutrix's mother, and
had the first-floor. She had never said that she would have
the defendant's husband in spite of her teeth, or dressed her-
self in his clothes, or any part of them.
Mary Platt, the fellow-servant of the prosecutrix, gave evi-
dence corroboratory of her testimony.
Several other witnesses proved the assault.
Mr. PRENDERGAST here intimated that it was not the wish
of his client to be vindictive, and if her husband would give
sureties for her good behaviour to the prosecutrix she would be
quite satisfied; with the additional understanding, however,
that she admitted there was no truth in the statement of any
improper connexion between the prosecutrix and the de-
fendant's husband.
The defendant, with apparent reluctance, consented to these
terms, withdrew her plea of Not Guilty and pleaded Guilty.
The husband was then ordered to enter into sureties, him-
self in 401. and two sureties of 201. each, that his wife should
keep the peace towards the prosecutrix for twelve months.

being Zit to 61. 10s. These prices, however, were Considered
higher than those in London, or more business would have
been done. Our duty is still called 13,000/. • but some ex-
perienced persons think that sum is rated too high. In Stour_

The day before yesterday, in the afternoon, at four o'clock,
the master of a house went up to the first floor occupied by
some English ladies of the name of D--, to receive the rent
of the apartments. He had scarcely entered when two Eng-
lish gentlemen, Colonel L-- and Mr. D-, suddenly ap-
peared, and, double-locking the door, fell upon the master of
the house. The latter, -after being insulted and ill-treated,
escaped with difficulty. He has brought the affair before the
Court of Justice.--Brussels Papers, Oct. 6.

FRACAS IN THE SMOKING WORLD.

A fracas which took place a few evenings ago in
one of our crack cigar shops has made some little
noise, and is likely, we hear, to progress in so doing
in more quarters than one. It may therefore be well
to record what we know of the matter. We must,
however, in the onset say, that " rumour with her
hundred tongues" is our author, and that therefore
we cannot vouch for the correctness of all our details ;
they must be taken, as auctioneers say, " with all
errors of description." We believe, however, that they
will be found tolerably correct. Thus, then, is the tale
retailed to us':—On a certain night, a Saint-ly baronet
Who is an M.P. and an amateur cricketer, and a young
gentleman living in the immediate vicinity of Brighton,
and belonging to the Sussex County Militia, met in
a divan where cigars and coffee, and the ordinary small
talk of such societies, were the order of the night ; but
before we go any further, we will stipulate with our
readers, that when we use the letter S we mean the
latter, and when the letter C, the former of these par-
ties. Well, S. said—Cricket being the " game up,"—
he could produce two players from Brighton who would
bowl against any other two that could be brought. He
would back them for .50/. " I take you," says C.,
catching the other " off the tip" of his tongue. S.
thereupon drew in his horns, but still continued to
talk largely. C. said, that if the offer of the bet was
to be considered withdrawn, S. had better be silent,
and say no more on that score. S., however, rejecting
this prudent advice, blustered a good deal, and insinu-
ated that he knew better than to bet with such as C.;
the insinuation seeming to imply the belief that C.
would receive, but would not pay. Upon this, C.,
although very cool, waxed wroth, and declared that if
the offensive allusion were intended, he would " shy"
his coffee (he held a cup in his hand) in S.'s face.
"If you do," retorted S., " I'll knock you down."—
" Done," rejoined the other ; and no sooner said than
done—for the coffee, grouts and all, from C.'s cup had
already irrigated S.'s face. S., however, overcome
perhaps by the soporific potency of the coffee, forgot
his part of the contract. He did not knock t'other
down ; and as t'other, like a strict cribbage player,
conceived that every point of the game ought to be
counted by one party or the other, he floored S. On
his legs again, S. showed any thing but fight, where-
upon C. gave him a "second floor."--(N.B. There is
no story in this—it was a regular floor.) S. now
thought it was high time to cut his stick; he appealed,
while he moved away, to those around, to witness how
patient he had been—to observe thait .he had not at-
tempted to commit an assault—and finally withdrew,
assuring C. that he shbuld next day hear from--his
attorney ! and we have since heard that the law has
been or is about to be resorted to. " More of this
peevish broil" can we not tell ; but the wags do say,
" that the Sussex Militia do not fight."—Brighton

THAMES- OFFICE.

Yesterday, Robert Bristow, fore-cabin steward of the.
Royal William Edinburgh steam-ship, and William Richard-
son, a labourer, were charged with an offence against the
Excise Laws, under the 6th of Geo. IV., c. 118, for having
in their possession four gallons and a half of whisky with-
out a permit.

Mr. BRODERIP—There is no doubt but the case is clearly
made out. The penalty is 1001., but the Magistrates have
the power of mitigation to one quarter of that amount.
You are, therefore, sentenced to pay a fine of 251. to the
King ; or, in default of payment, to three months' impri-
sonment, the minimum of punishment under the Act.
Mr. Mayhew, who attended to prosecute, said he did not
intend to press the charge against the prisoner Richardson,
who, he considered, was merely the instrument in the hands
of the other prisoner.
Mr. BRODERIP said that he exercised a very humane and
sound discretion, but he cautioned Richardson to be very
careful for the future, to ascertain what the loads were which
he was employed to carry.
Richardson was then discharged.

ADELPHI THEATRE.

A new comic burletta, entitled The Unfinished Gentleman,
was produced last night at this house, and met with complete
and deserved success. It is impossible, in the short space al-
lowed us, to give even an idea of the admirable humour of this
piece ; but we recommend all lovers of true farce to satisfy
themselves by witnessing it. The story is simple, and suffi-
ciently commonplace ; but it is the inimitable blundering of
Jem Miller (Mr. Yates), a gentleman's tiger, brought up in
the stable, educated on the turf, and polished in the Fives
Court, and the broad humour and drollery of Reeve, as Bill
Downey, an occasional porter and shoe-black, and the Unfi-
n'shed Gentleman, which gives it zest. Neither must we omit
to mention Mrs. Keeley, who enacted the part of a lady's
maid, with her usual tact and humour. The burletta was
throughout perfectly successful, and the announcement of its
repetition 'vas received with shouts of applause. '

CHAMPAGNE VINTAGE FOR THE PRESENT

According to the estimate of the number of bottles, which
can be procured at the different manufactories, it appears that
next year, when this vintage comes to be bottled off, there
will be a deficiency to the number of 3,390,000. The manu-
factory of M. de Poilly can furnish 2,000,000, that of M.
Dauhc, 1,500,000, that of M. de Coloul 1,200,000, that of

BAYONNE, Nov. 26.

General Manso, who was at Haro, in the Rioja, with
his column of 2,000 men, made a forced march on the 20th
at night, and surprised on the followinc, morning, the Car-
list battalion commanded by Lequi, and another of Alava,
under Uranga, at the pass of Orduna in Biscay. 160 Car-
lists remained on the field, a great number of them were
wounded, and 80 were taken prisoners. Most of their bag-
gage was captured, with about 240 stand of arms. The
Queen's troops had but a few men hors de combat, the am-
buscade they had laid for the enemy having completely suc-
ceeded.
On the 19th Erazo, the Commander of the Carlist forces
in Biscay, assembled the three brigades composing the di-
vision under his command, at the village of Villalobo, for
the purpose of communicating to the chiefs an order he had
received from the King to march two of those corps into
Navarre. On hearing this, one of the officers exclaimed
that the Biscayans would not leave their province. A mu-
tiny broke out among the soldiers, some of whom sided with
the officer ; but Erazo having caused the latter and 14 of
his men to be arrested and shot, and 80 flogged, the rest,
overawed by this example, quietly submitted to be tent into
Navarre. The two brigades consist of four battalions of
700 men each.
Lieutenant-Colonel Don Jose Boneta, an old man of 70,
while walking in the vicinity of Durango, in the company of
two grenadiers and an Urbano, was apprehended by a Car-
list band, and brought up to the mountains. On the follow-
ing morning they were found by a party of the Queen's

at the advanced posts.
Three Carlist officers made their submission to Mina on
the 18th, and gave him some useful information respecting
the faction.
Zumalacarreguy left Artabia on the 23d with eight bat-
talions, and proceeded towards the valley of Bastan, whence
he is expected to arrive to-day.
Oraa's column reached Huarte and Villalobo, two vil-
lages situate within a league of Pampeluna, on the 23d
inst. ; and in the everting twenty-eight prisoners, taken on
the 18th at Aranaz, were sent into the place under an
escort.
On the 22d, 60 soldiers of Cordova's column joined the
ranks of the insurgents near Estella. The desertions in
that corps will not, in all probability, be confined to that
defection,
General Mina was still at Pampeluna on the 23d, and
had not, as stated in several Journals, commenced opera-
tions in person.

PAUL V. WYATT

This was an action of assurnpsit to recover a sum of between
51. and 61. for work done, and goods sold and delivered. The
plaintiff was an upholsterer residing at Upper Marylebone-
street, and was employed by the defendant, a gentleman re-
siding at Portland-terrace, St. John's Wood-road, in the year
1831, to make some alterations in bed furniture, and to put up
some cornices in a house at Hastings, where the defendant
occasionally resided. The defence war, that the plaintiff was
never employed by the defendant.

Mr. F. Pou.ock appeared for the plaintiff, and Sir JAMES
SeARLETT for the defendant.

Several witnesses sere examined on both sides, and the
evidence was of a very contradictory nature.
Lord DENMAN, after remarking upon the manner in which
the witnesses for the plaintiff and defendant had contradicted
each other, left it to the Jury to decide between them.
The Sury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,
5/. I ls. 9d.

While sipping his Twankay,
Bethought him the people were getting too franky ;
And, deeming it nothing but proper and right, he
Took steps to prevent their being equally flighty,
He sat himself down, and with much force and fluency,

Wrote
A note

Of advice to his own constituency.
He liked not such mischievous doings, and, frank, he
Represented to them, like a Member that nervous is,
His personal terror.;
At their radical errors, _ _

And warned them to pause, as they valued his services.
What reward do you think received poor Sergeant Spankie ?
" Thank'e !
We will soon let you see, at a fitting occasion,
We want neither you nor your representation ;
Ere again you write letters so queasy and quackly,
Think, Sergeant, of Finsbury—Duncombe and Wakley."
Hang me !
Said the Sergeant " says he,"
Directly I sent it, I thought so exactly !

FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

WHITEHALL, DEC. 2, 1834.
A letter, of which the following is a copy, was received at the
Office of the Home Department yesterday morning, announcing the
death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester :
" Bagshot Park, Sunday Evening, Nov. 30.
" My Lord Duke,—By command of her Royal Highness the

LAMBETH-STREET.

Yesterday Mary Brooks, a middle-aged female, was
brought up for final examination before Messrs. HARDWICK
and WALKER, on a charge of stealing several Bibles and
other devotional books from St. Andrew's Scotch Church,
in Philpot-street, Stepney.
The father and mother of the prisoner, who have always
borne a most reputable character, were present, and ex-
pressed their surprise at the prisoner being guilty of such
an act, as she could have no inducement to do so, and they
could only account for her conduct, by the fact of her la-
bouring under imbecility of mind.
Several respectable persons, who had known the prisoner
for many years, gave her an excellent character, ar d corro-
borated the statement of her parents, as to her imbecility
of mind.

The Magistrates on hearing this discharged the prisoner,
after a severe admonition ; and a promise on the part of
her parents to watch her closely for the future, and prevent
a recurrence of such acts.

INCENDIARY FIRES AT ROTHERHITHE.

The inquiry into the circumstances attending the late in-
cendiary fires at Rotherhithe, and the several attempts
made last week to fire buildings and warehouses in that
parish, has been actively proceeded with during the last tw e
days, by Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, and Evans, the prin-
cipal surveyor of Thames Police. Several persons, includ-
ing those whose premises were destroyed and fired, have
been examined, preparatory to another investigation at the
Thames Police-office, and some additional evidence, it is
said, has been collected against William Palmer, the new
policeman, No. 108 R, who was taken into custody on Sa-
turday morning, and, contrary to established practice, un-
derwent a secret examination before Mr. Ballantine in a
private room, from which reporters and the public were ex-
cluded. The charge on which Palmer has been committed
to Horsemonger-lane Gaol for re-examination on a future
day, is " on suspicion of having been concerned in feloni-
ously and maliciously setting fire to divers houses and build-
ings m the parish of St. Mary, Rotherhithe." Since Thurs-
day morning, when a vile attempt was made by some atro-
cious incendiary to destroy the premises of Messrs. Smith
and Pittman, the barge-builders, by firing combustibles in a
loft, no other alarm of fire has been given in the parish, but
the nightly Association of the inhabitant householders and
others, and the extra body of police, still perambulate the
parish, to guard against nocturnal incendiarism. The in-
habitants are greatly dissatisfied that the examination of
the policeman was not conducted, as usual, in the public
office, in which case they would have been enabled to learn
whether there was any further occasion to perambulate the
streets for the protection of their pi•operty, and have also
ascertained whether the mystery in which the numerous in-
cendiary fires in Rotherhithe have been enveloped had been
cleared up.

SPURIOUS TEA.

The following appears in a note in the number of ',"e;
Quarterly Review just published :—" The evil conseqeen:iv
which we had predicted (says the writer) have eli.re-the
begun to show themselves. The most respectable °`, re
bong merchants have retired from business, and the res3ble
either unable or unwilling to advance a shilling to e° iv,

though 40,000 tons of shipping were expected at Col:ay
but we shall, notwithstanding, have some tea, and it
well that our readers should know what sort of tea it 0.
he. Our information is from an eye-witness of ortio
tionable authority, recently arrived in England from .flee
On the opposite side of the river too, and at a short &tiled
from Canton, is a manufactory for converting tht:no
worst kind of coarse black tea into green—it is well t"-teci
in Canton by the name of wo-ping, and was always reJeil to
by the agents of the East India Company. The Plan ::011
stir it about on iron plates moderately heated, mixing'," II
with a composition of turmeric, indigo, and white levy
which process it acquires that blue of plums, and that errie'ep
appearance, which are supposed to indicate the fine g. Ite
teas. Our informant says that there can be no oustd:ot
respecting the white lead, as the Chinese supiriotenalle
called
it by its common name, yuenlun. At the ;by
time it is right to state that pulverized gypsum (kn°%.f•''tbe
the name of shetkao) is understood by the gentlemen °we
late factory to be employed to subdue a too intense rei
colour given by the indigo. There were already Prey
when this visit took place 50,000 chests of this PriTog- est
article, just enough for three cargoes of the very ',.;etor4
ships of the East India Company. The crafty PTO:, not
told our friend and the other visiters that this tell w—oball,

no doubt, have our full share of it. Nay, -80%0 Pai3 bable
lately published in the newspapers render it highly Prh°
that the importation of the well-doctored wo-Ping

PRADHOMME V. FRASER.

In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when
we went to press, the Jury, after consulting together for
about twenty minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages, Fifty Pounds; but said that the innuendos as to
the general statement were not proved, but that those re-
lating to the anecdote were proved, and that the anecdote
referred to, the plaintiff.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, DEc. 2.

IN THE RE LONDON BRIDGE ACT.-JUDGMENT.

Mr. Baron ALDEasoN, in giving judgment in this case
this morning, stated that this was a bill filed for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether the trustees, appointed by the
New London Bridge Act, were entitled to all reasonable
expenses incurred in the valuation of premises, and if they
were, out of what fund they were to be paid. He had se-
riously considered the case, and carefully examined every
authority that had been quoted at the bar, and he was
quite of opinion that the trustees were entitled to all rea-
sonable expenses, and to be paid out of the Compensation
Fund.

Mr. Arundell's " Narrative of his Travels and Dis-
coveries in Asia Minor," is a most able and entertaining work,
to which, says the Dublin University Magazine, we are
anxious to pay particular attention, not only because of the
merit with which it is executed, or the interest attached to the
scenes and countries it describes, but also because the esti-
mable and talented writer belongs to a class of individuals a ho
are engaged in the most noble work that can employ the
powers of man—that of bearing the blessings of the Gospel
to the dark places of the earth. Mr. Arundell was for many
years Chaplain at Smyrna, and, therefore, enjoyed opportu-
nities possessed by few of prosecuting his inquiries. He made
excursions into the interior of this interesting region, and has
collected a mass of curious and valuable information. He vi-
sited the Seven Churches of the Apocalypse, as well as many
other places equally connected with sacred and profane his-
tory. In fact, this is a book which will be appreciated not only
by the biblical student, and by the reader who looks for
amusement, but by the devout Christian, who can, by the
author's valuable assistance, trace the travels of St. Paul, and
examine the sites where the first great Christian churches
were erected.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday a lad about seventeen, named James Parker,
a very desperate and expert young thief, was placed at the
bar for reexamination before Mr:TWYFORD, charged with
the following audacious robbery
_:7--

George Kent, a police constable No. 82 of the N divi-
sion, stated that Thursday evening last he was on duty in
the Hackney-road, and saw the prisoner, whom he knew to
be a reputed thief, go and throw up the shop window of
Mr. Turner, a glasscutter, No. 14, Goldsmith's-row, and
take something out and run away. Witness pursued him
and raised a cry of " Stop thief ;" and after a long chase
the prisoner was stopped by a foot passenger, but he made
a very desperate resistance, and assaulted that person in a
very violent manner. The constable produced a glass
decanter and sugar basin which the prisoner had in his posi-
session when stopped, and he believed them to have been
taken from Mr. Turner's window.

Mr. C. Turner, the prosecutor, identified the property as
his, and the prisoner must be a very expert thief, or he could
not have effected the robbery in so short a time. Both the
articles were worth at least a sovereign.
The prisoner said—" Now, your YPrsh?p, you knows
werry yell, that I've been placed in this ere havikward giti.
vation before, and it's no use to deny it either ; but, how-
somedever, yer Honner's Vership, niver mind that, for it
