THE UNITED KINGDOM NEW SPAPER.

In consequence of the report of the application made
by Mr. Smith, newsvender, of Milton-street, Cripplegate,
which appeared in The Sun of last night, two gentle-
men from the office appeared this day before Alderman
THORPE, for the purpose of negativing the assertions then
made by Smith.
The applicants stated, that the real facts of the case
were, that he, Smith, had subscribed for twelve papers
regularly, and had had the same number of maps ; occa-
sionally, however, he had taken a few more—and the Pro-
prietors, knowing his litigious character amongst the
trade, had liberally given him eight additional maps,
rather than enter into any contention with him ; hut
when be demanded seven more extra, because he had taken
27 papers on the first day of the delivery of the map, and
on that day only, they considered he was practising a fraud,
and were determined to withstand it, The case had been
heard yesterday in the Court of Requests, and Mr. Smith
had been decidedly told that he bad no claim. In fact,
he did not attempt to swear that he...had regularly taken
the 27 papers.
Alderman THORPE said, in giving the opinion he bad,
he was only actuated by the statement made by Smith, and
did not mean to infer the least wrong to the proprietors of
the paper.
The applicant said the proprietors were ready to meet
the charge on oath. All they wished was a refutation of
the statement which was evidently only done with a view
to injure the paper, and if it remained uncontradicted,
might injure their property to a great extent.
Alderman THORPE said, the man had certainly pestered
him a great deal; lie was happy that an early answer had
been thus given, and he had no doubt the Papers would
contradict the first report.
The applicant said, that was the only wish of the pro-
prietors, who were anxious that every subscriber should
receive the map. The respectable body of newsvenders
had not made one complaint against the delivery, and the
proprietors would, in every case, see that the map was
duly presented ; they at the same time felt bound to have
those itinerant newspaper dealers who had obtained and
not delivered the maps, brought to justice.
The parties then retired.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 Cir.

We are informed that the Nautilus, from Oporto,
brings accounts that the whole of the British fleet from
Lisbon have assembled off Oporto, which is supposed to
he in consequence of the arrival of the Marquis of Pal-
inella at Oporto, with a British messenger, when a vessel
was immediately despatched to our Admiral at Lisbon:
many conjectures will be afloat on the subject. We may
almost say, that Oporto may he called a British colony,
for the property belonging to British merchants in that
city is immense; therefore our Government is desirous to
prevent any further bombardment of the town.
Hobart Town Papers to the 4th March have been re-
ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house.

(From the Paper of the 3d March.)
The estimated value of British goods imported by the
recent arrivals to this port exceeds the great amount of
100,0001..

The progress of improvement in the vicinity of Hobart
Town was never more rapid than at this moment ; in
every direction houses are building.
The influence of tie harvest begins particularly to be felt
in the value of wheat, and the highest prices are ss. per
bushel. English barley continues in demand.
