Goodlad then dsh&l the eonstablc K 59 why it was
he had not apprehended the prisonet: Oti hi., return to his
situation seven months ago, and brought. him to Itisfice ?
The policettiah ennsidered the case to belong to his brother
officer Davis, and therefore he diti not wish to interfere.
Mr. Goodlad should feel it to be his duty to write to
Lord John Russell, and acquaint him with all the facts of
this case ; for if oiteefEl in high, as well as low, station in
the police were as capable, as in this instance, of lending
themselves for reasons best known to them, to screen a cr►-

the better, . _

two feet, a etin§itiPi•Ald Miff:tiger Of litifilati bones were dis-
covered, which, from the itteStilat thEinheY.hi which they
were laid, there is reason to suppose must bare been the
conseqUence Of some skirmish ; not, however, any regular
engagement, as appeal's kin the comparatively small WM-
WI- Of them. . Only very few article t tYPre found to enable
us to eOttiOttliro at what time they had been deposited there.
An iron pencil-case, 611 the top of which appears a crowned
head, perhaps one of the Henrys, inny lead to the supposi-
tion that it must have been during some of the disturbances
which took place in that unsettled period, but of which we
have no account. In the immediate neighbourhood stood
a Catholic chapel, though the site of the discovery does not
appear to have been a burying-ground attached thereto,
owing to the irregular disposition of the bones found. In
Stark's " History of Gainsborough" it is mentioned that, in
making a drain in Lord-street, a similar discovery of dead
bodies was made, " which appeared to have been promis-
cuously interred, as if' of persons who had fallen in battle,"
and which he seems to suppose took place in 1643, when
the town surrendered to the Duke of Newcastle, and from
the loose manner in which the capitulation was drawn up
or carried into execution, the prisoners in the absence of all
restraint began to pillage the inhabitants, which the Duke's
soldiers perceiving, soon joined in. The pillage continued
for some time, despite the attempts made to suppress it ;
and it may be that numerous murders were perpetrated,
and the bodies afterwards promiscuously interred in this
spot, a suspicion which is rendered not unlikely from the
circumstance of no weapons of war having been found with
the remains.—Hull Observer.

THE CLAIMS OF THE RIVER MEDWAY NAVIGATION
London, England, 1835-12-25

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday Mary Ann Hedge, a young female, was
brought up charged with stealing a 10/. note from Captain
Pinnock ; and John Smith, who sweeps the crossings at the
Post Office, and Mary, his wife, were charged as acces-
saries after the fact.

The prisoners were all remanded, in order to give Capi
Pinnock an opportunity of attending to prosecute.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

Ernest De Mircourt, a young man dressed in the first
style of fashion, wa-s brought before Mr. CONANT, charged
with having robbed about thirty jewellers and goldsmiths,
residing at the west end of the town, of jewellery and
watches to an immense amount.

On the prisoner beinc, placed at the bar, the office was
crowded by tradesmen who have been robbed by him.
Mr. Warwick, of No. 125, Regent-street, deposed that
on Tuesday afternoon the prisoner came into his, shop, and
asked to look at some diamond-rings. „Having no suspicion
of him from his appearance, be showed him a tray of rings ;
after looking at them for some time, the prisoner requested
to look at another article, which was produced and exa-
mined ; the prisoner then said he would call again, and left
the shop. Shortly after -his departure, a diamond ring, of
the value of 201., was missed, and information was then
given to the office.
Mace, an active officer of the establishment, in conse-
quence of information which he received, went round to
several pawnbrokers, and ascertained that a person answer-
ing the description of the prisoner, had called at Mr. Ruch-
fort's, a pawnbroker, in Brewer-street, on Tuesday, and
sold the diamond ring now produced for 151., 101. of which
was paid, and the remainder was to be paid yesterday after-
noon. On hearing this he waited at the house, and in the
evening the prisoner came in, and he then took him into
custody. On searching him he found two diamond pins,
a diamond ring (each single stones), and five sovereigns.
A person from Messrs. Howell and James deposed, that
on Monday afternoon the prisoner came there and looked
at some diamond rings and gold watches. On his leaving,
a ring of the value of thirty guineas, and a gold watch of the
value of twenty guineas, were missing.
Mr. CONANT asked the prisoner what be had to say to
the charge.
The. prisoner, in French, said, " I have EtJlen nothing."
He was then remanded until Tuesday next.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday, for the first time, public business was trans-
acted in the New Office, Mr. TWYFORD being the sitting
Magistrate.

At a little after twelve o'clock, Messrs. BROUGHTON and
GRAVE arrived in the carriage of the former, accompanied
by Mr. TWYFORD, who was provided with a seat, and was
present during the investigation of the cases which were
heard in the public examination room.
There are six rooms on the ground floor apportioned to
the Office, viz., the Magistrates' room, the private examina-
tion room, the public examination room, the private waiting
room, the constables' room, and the clerk's room for taking
depositions. The area of the public examination room is
20 feet by 32 feet, the depth being about 20 feet ; the area
ef the private examination room is about 10 by 15 feet, and
that of the waiting room about 23 by 30 feet. Rather more
than half the public examination room is set apart for the
Magistrates, the clerks, and counsel or solicitors, which is
enclosed, and on an elevation of about a foot and a half
from the ground-floor, there being several ventilators to ad-
mit air fixed in the skirting. In this apartment there are
three separate desks, one for each Magistrate, such as are
erected in Courts of Law, rendering the appearance of the
public examination room similar to a Court of Law. The
Royal Arms, which were in the Old Office, have been re-
gilt, and placed in a conspicuous situation in the new one.
The public waiting room is a very important improve-
ment in the establishment of a public office, where police
constables, witnesses, prisoners, &c., can remain free from
exposure to the weather, and in this room is a splendid
pendant gas burner. The yard, in which are the cells, is
surrounded by a lofty wall, and which is surmounted on the
top by a chevaux-de-frise, giving it all the effect of a prison
boundary. The front of the office is of very plain con-
struction, the only ornament being the Royal arms of Eng-
land, and which are elevated on the top.
The old office has been in the occupancy of Government
about half a century.' Previous to the Act which consti-
tuted the stipendiary Magistracy, before which time the
Magistrates themselves enjoyed the fees of their office, and
on which account they were called trading Magistrates, the
office was in existence ; and in the year 1780, during Lord
George Gordon's riot, the mob paid it a visit. At that
time Worship-street was known by the name of Hog-lane ;
and even to this day, when any oflicer_of the establishment
pays a v;a4 t. Potticoat-lane, the thieves and fences, in in-
timation of their approach, give a grunt as warning f their
presence. The lease having expired the premises fall into
the hands of Mr. Mills, the lessee, who lives in Russell-
square, and who is a county Magistrate.
There was no business of public importance.

AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL
TREATISE on SYPHILIS, its Consequences, on Suit-
tures, Eruptions, Nodes, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mis-
taken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety
of hig-,hly interesting eases, together with the miseries of a secret
vice, so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes.
In the one it will be found an unfailing source of barrenness, in
the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state
of debility which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotency
these are its remote and ultimate effects ; whilst Consumption,
Loss of Muscular Power, and various other complaints, usually
characterise the earlier stages of these distressing diseases, for the
Cure of which the Author has laid down a plan of treatment which,
during his experience of upwards of thirty-five years' extensive
practice, has invariably proved successful; with concluding remarks
on the evils resulting from attempts at self cure.

warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise; and
we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with
much delicacy and morality."—lnspector and Literary Review.

By JULES CLOQUET, M.D. - -
" It has been my purpose to displaY Lafayette in his private life,
to depict him at least as I have seen him ; he owed every thing to
his good natural disposition, to the purity of his feelings, and to the
developthent of his exalted intelligence ; that he never acted a part,
inasmuch as he always displayed himself in public as he appeared in
the bosom of his family, his private life having been really the
counterpart of his political career. The quotations made from his
writings, some of his hitherto unpublished letters, which ,are now
submitted to the public, and the materials collected from his cor-
respondence with his friend Masclet, fOrm the most important por-
tion of the work."—The Author.

The COURT MAGAZINE, already exhibiting in its pages
articles which entitle it to rank, independent of its fashionable
character, with the leading Monthly Magazines, the Proprietor is
anxious to place it upon the same level of general reading, and, as
an earnest of his intention, at once announces a reduction in its
price, on the Ist of January,
From Three Shillings and Sixpence to Half a Crown,
a reduction which he hopes to accompany with an increase in its
value. _ _

In order to give complete effect to this design, the proprietor
has arranged with many of the first writers of the day, so as to re-
ceive a continuance of contributions of a high order of talent.
The Embellishments will embrace, as usual,

Portraits of the Female Nobility, Landscapes of the Seats of the

Nobility, and English-and Foreign Costumes.
Every care will be taken to render this department perfect, and
as a guarantee for exertions which will be made, the proprietor has
the satisfaction to announce, that a series of Portraits from paint-
ings by
.Sir T. Lawrence is in preparation, and will be produced,
from time to time, in the forthcoming Numbers.
A Critical History of the Literature of the Month, Music, Fine

"It has all the taking points of an annual. Its plates, in excel-

ber. The latter is the pleasantest piece of reading this year has
produced; as capital a bit of comedy as has been written in our
century. The subjects and characters are fewer than in Peter
Simple,' but, as far as they go, the scenes are animated by a similar
spirit; there is the same humour, the same keen perception of cha-
racter, an equal power of truly and quietly presenting it, as much
of point and sly satire, and the same finish down to the minutest
parts."—Spectator.
" There is nothing of the season, for embellishment and g,eneral

TERAT URE.

JAPHET IN SEARCH OF A FATHER. 3 Vols.
Saunders and Otley. London, 1835.
We are not at all surprised that the novels of Cap-
tain Marryat are such general favourites, for they
possess, in no ordinary degree, all the elements of Po-
pularity. They are humourous—sparkling--sunerficial
—full of incident—full of variety—ncver taxing the
thought, or wearying the patience of the reader, but pen-
ned in that off-hand unassuming style which' all can ap-
preciate and reliSh, and which may safely stand in the ,
stead of higher intellectual qualities. The gallant
,
author is quite an Improvisatorc in his story-telling.
He relates his tales just as an Arab would tell them
to a crowd of wondering listeners at a caravansera,
with the same indifference to nicety of language, or
exact propriety of style, being anxious only to amuse ;
and provided he , can do this, • he cares not by
. what means it is done. Hence his fictions have
all a freshness and raciness of manner about
them, which is but too often denied even to the
most practised author. True, we may object to his
occasional want of keeping in character, an,"
frequent disregard to nature- in his dialogues; but he is
always so good-humoured,
so easfer to entertain, so
utterly indifferent to t2iie mere literary part of his task ;
above all, iie is so ready to out with his joke, whether
I It be a good or a bad one, that none but the most fas-
tidious critic can have the heart to find fault with him.
Did he step forth with high, imperious pretensions,
the case would be different ; but he does nothing of.
the sort—he writes merely to amuse and be forgotten ;
for he well knows that his novels are ephemera, and
that the utmost he can expect of them is, that they
shall live their day, and then be quietly consigned to
the tomb "of all the Capulets." The tale now lying
before us is, we think, the best that Captain • Marryat
has yet penned. We remember reading it, from time
to time, in the Metropolitan,- and were much pleased
with the unflagging vivacity with which it was kept
up. Of elaborate, well-sustained plot, it has little
or nothing. It is not a work that has been carefully
digested in the author's mind before it was committed
to paper, but rests its claims to popularity on its
bustle, its liveliness, and the lavish fertility of its in-
cidents. The first volume is the best ; the scenes
wherein Melchior the gipsey is introduced is the most
striking ; and the character of Major Carbonnell the
most natural. The second volume flags a little, but
the interest deepens considerably towards the 'close,
and all ends as it should do. As for Japhet, the
hero of the tale, he, is by no means so efficiently sus-
tained a character as Peter Simple., He wants indi-
viduality—a fault, by the way, not uncommon with
the author's pet-personages. Despite this drawback,
however, the story will be read with interest, for the
reasons we haVdalready stated.

GUILDHALL.

Yesterday Margaret Callaghan, an Irish woman, about
forty years of age, bearing in her arms two infants about
a month old, was charged with imposing on the benevo-
lence of the charitable, and sitting .down in the street,
pretending to be in great distress, and that the children
were twins, when, in faCt, she had'borrowed one of the
children. .

Inspector Martin, of the city polico, stated that a gentle-
man called at the station-house on Wednesday evening, and
said that a woman Was sitting down at the bottom of Skin-
ner-street, in apparent distress, and ha begged that the po-
lice would attend to her case; to see that she and her chil-
dren were prevented from, perishing, if they were really
destitute, or that if she were an impostor, she might be
prevented from exciting the feelings of the public. He im-
mediately went to the spot, and found the policeman of
the beat about to remove her. Upon questioninc, her, she
said she lived in Brackley-street, St. Giles, that she had no
husband, that She had only begged 7d., and that the infants
were twins. She had a girl about seven years old with her,
to nurse one of the babes, and upon questioning her;

they soon discovered that one of the children had been
harrowed from some woman in Church-street, but whose
name he could not get at. This borrowed infant, from be-
ing exposed at this inclement season, was as cold as clay,
and he did not think that it would survive above an hour.
-On searching the woman, it appeared she had collected
Gs. Sid.
Mr. Alderman KELLY said she must be a bard-hearted
wretch to neglect the borrowed child so shamefully, and
asked her what she had to pay for the hire of it ?
She made no reply.
A person present said he had seen her about-different
parts of the town with young twins for months past.
She was then remanded.

PHRENOLOGY.

The following brief analysis of this system is ex-
tracted from the third edition of a clever tract by Ed-
win Saunders, and published by Renshaw, entitled—
" What is phrenology ?" The plan followed by the
writer, is evidently that of the celebrated Spurzheim

The phrenological organs are thirty-five in number,
and are distributed in the following order :—viz., into
Feelings and Intellectual Faculties. The former are
again divided into Propensities and Sentiments. The
latter into the Perceptive and Reflective Faculties.

THE HOLY BI B L E,
WITH NOTES,

By the Rd-v. H. CAUNTER, B.D.
Illustrated with One Hundred and Forty-four Engravings,
From Drawings by
R. WESTALL, Esq., R.A., and J. MARTIN, Esq.
TO THE PUBLIC.

No apology can be necessary for presenting to the Public a New
Edition of the Holy Bible ; it will therefore be sufficient to mention
the principal object in view in the present publication.
There being no good editions of the Bible with notes, except
those which are sold at so high a price as to exclude the middling
and poorer classes from having access to them, the first aim is to
supply what has long been felt to be a serious desideratum.
The notes by the Rev. Hobart Caunter, 8.D., will be exclusively
explanatory ; some idea may be formed of their extent, when it is
stated that (hey will contain as much matter as three ordinary
sized octavo volumes, they will be written in a plain and concise
manner, so as to be intelligible to all classes of readers.
The Illustrations (in number one hundred and forty foUr) will
be from Drawings by R. Westall, ILA., Esq. and J. Martin, Esq.
the celebrated painter of Belshazzar's Feast.
The Work will be published in Weekly Numbers, containing
two Engravings, and twelve pages of Letter-press, at the low price
of three pence each Number, and will be completed in seventy-two,
forming one :splendid octavo volume.

THHISTORY of SPAIN and PORTUGAL,
from B.C. 1000 to A.D. 1814.

The History Of the Spanish Peninsula affords a variety of
interest, unparalleled in the annals of most other countries, the lofty
and daring character of the people, from their early struggle against
the Carthaginians and the Romans, and their late resistance to des-
potism, command our admiration. In a history so extensive, com-
pressed within limits narrow as those of the present work, much of
this can of course be little more than indicated : it may tempt, how-
ever, many readers to pursue the study at greater length, and those
who do may rest assured they will never regret the interesting in-
vestigation.

COURT CIRCULAR.

The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria's apart-
ments in Kensington Palace are ordered to be prepared for
their Royal Highnesses' return, which it is expected will be
on the 17th of next month. It has been incorrectly stated
in some of the papers, that great repairs and considerable
embellishments are taking place in their Royal Highnesses'
apartments ; but the papering and painting the King's
Gallery, and the putting up double sashes on the upper
floor, constitute the greater part of what is in progress.

CARMA.RTIIEN, JAN. 7.

The polling for the united boroughs of Carmarthen and Llanelly
commenced here yesterday and closed to-day. Toryism has, I am
sorry to say, triumphed, but by dishonourable and disgracefulprac-
flees. It. is said that 101. and even 20/. have been given for votes
by the Tory candidate's hirelings. The Reform candidate, the
lion. W. H. Yelvcrton, had a majority in Carmarthen; but the
Tory candidate, Mr. Lewis, had a majority of 44 in Llanclly. Not-
withstanding we have been defeated, there is no re-action here •
had we the vote by ballot, we should have a large majority, both
here and at Llanelly.
Gross majority for Mr. Lewis
Majority for Mr. Yelvcrton for Carmarthen borough 8
P. S. Mr. Lewis lives near Llanelly, and had the interest of the
copper manufacturers there. This circumstance accounts for the
large majority he had at the above place. Had the Reformers at-
ter:led properly to the registration in time, the Tory candidate
would in all probability have been ousted.

Gaskell, solicitor, nominated J. H. Kearsley, Esa., and the
nomination was seconded by Mr. gekersley, no other candi-
date being proposed.
CHARLES • STAND/S/, Esq., proceeded to address the
electors. I-Ic said he was, in every sense of the word, a real
and rational Reformer.

vour of Messrs. Potter and Kearsley. A poll was demanded
on behalf of Mr. Standish, and the proceedings were Imme-
diately adjourned, with a view to the Immediate opening 'or the
poll.
The following was the result of the poll at four o'clock :

PENRYN AND FALMOUTH.
Mr. Rolfe's return is beyond question, and there is As little
doubt of Mr. Preshfield's election. The Bedehamber Lord
will be floored, notwithstanding the Most unblushing bribery
on the part of his agwits, of which the clearest proof can be
adduced. If tim Tories bleed as freely in other places as they
have in Penryn and Falmouth, they will in this crisis spend
an immense sum, which the country no doubt will be called on
to repay, with ample interest, if they obtain the power to hold
office for the short space of three months.

RIPON.—NOMINATION.
JAN. 7.—The nomination for this borough, which, prior to
1832, had been a close borough in the hands of the Studley-
park family for 114 years, took place yesterday.
Mr. Starelcy, the late Liberal Member who won at the last
election by a bare majority over the Tory, was proposed by F.
EARI.E, Esq., and seconded by R. LIME, Esq.
General D'Albiac, of Bristol notoriety, was proposed by
Mr. Alderman FANER, and seconded by QCINTIN RHODES,
E3q.
Mr. Pemberton was proposed by Major OXLET, and se-
conded by Mr. COLLINS.
Mr. Crompton, one of the late Members, finding the in-
neence of Studley-house so strong as to endanger the return
of both the Reform Candidates, should he stand, has nobly
retired.

The show of 4-. ands was in favour of Staveley and D'Albiac.
Mr. Pemberton demanded a poll.
Tl:e:e is a system of making cow-house votes here, which
completely swamps the borough. Had we the ballot, Ripon
would return two Reform Members triumphantly.

DEVONPORT, JAN. 7.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,--Thinking•you might be glad to have the earliest infor-
mation of the progress of the Reformers in this place, I have thought
it right to state to you that our nomination took place here yes-
terday, when, after a very long meeting, the Returning Officer de-
clared the majorities to be in favour of Sir Edward Codrington and
Sir George Grey (our two late Reforming Members), and, of
course, a poll was demanded on behalf of the Tory candidate, the
Right Hon. G. R. Dawson, the Secretary to the new Admiralty.
In fact., I never witnessed such an immense and unanimous meeting
in this borough before, were
and I do not believe that 200 hands
up for the latter candidate. The polling commenced this clay, and
the close of our labours is as follows :--
Codrington 931
Grey - 792
Dawson .... 634
To-morrow we shall to a certainty return the Reforming candidates,
and turn out the Tory one. Mr. Dawson, I are sure, will never
show his face again as a candidate for this new and determined Re-
form borough: and I would also state that every possible influence
en the part of Government has been used for votes in favrur of
Dawson. He has addressed the men in the dock-yard, soliciting
votes, promising what he would do for them by way of promotion,
&c., in case they promoted his interest ; and threats, to intimidate
those that. refused, have been basely resorted to—that they would
be marked men, &e. &c. By these means he has got a few, but I
am happy to say that by far the great majority of them have, not-
withstanding the above, -stood forward nobly in favour of reform.
In all departments of the Government these steps have been re-
sorted to. Mr. Damon has also, while he has been here, hoisted
the Admiralty flag, at his hotel. The object is manifest.
I am, Sir, &c. P. B.
London, England, 1835-01-09

you have conferred on me, and will not detain you
longer as it is rapidly getting dark. " I must confess
that from the commencement of this conduct I felt not the
least anxiety as to the result, being confident that you would
put me as high on the poll as I could expect. Here the Gal-
lant Colonel retired amidst loud cheering.
Mr. TYRRILL came forward and stated he had canvassed a
large part of Westminster, and said that the Tories
who had not paid their taxes were put •on the list of
voters---( Hear, hear)—but that the Liberals who had not paid
their% were omitted. He strongly advised the electors to
see to the regulur registration and entry of their taxes,
as the tax-gatherers %ere Tories.—(Loud cheers.) He
complained of great unfairness in the registration, and
strenuously advised all round to attend to the regular insertion
of their names in the register, as it was all a Tory trick, and
they ( Sir Francis Burdett and Col. Evans) would have had
at least 500 more votes but for want of attention to the re-
gistration. _ _ _

The vast concourse of people then quietly separated, and
we are happy to say that no one was hurt by the fall of the
temporary scaffolding in front of the hustings beyond a few
slight bruises.
