POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

loice, the carpenter, was re-examined yesterday.
Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Spencer attended for the
prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Hobler,jun.
for the prisoner, who was charged with having
forged a half share of a lottery ticket, with intent to
defraud Mr. Durant, stock broker, of the sum of
10,0001.

Henry Punter, a clerk in Mr. Durant's office, de-
posed, that on the 18th inst. Bloice presented a
share in the lottery of the 2d of Geo. IV. at this
office. Witness asked him who had been altering it,
to which Bloice said, " I have not ; I know no-
thing of it. It is as I cut it out of a hammock be-
longing to my brother, who died in the West Indies.
There were two bank notes in it also." Mr. Du-
rant was sent for, and he pronounced it a patched
up thing, and sealed it up, telling Bloice that every
fair play should be shown him. The number, which
could be with much difficulty deciphered, was
7,839. That number had been drawn a 20,0001.
and a 10/. prize.
Mr. Durant had been 46 years a partner in the
house. The share in question was shown to him
and another, which was at Bish's office, and a blank.
He at once perceived that the former was a forgery,
and said, " This is a pretty thing. Who has been
at work at Ihis ?" Bloice then replied as had been
stated. Witness said, " Pray, what became of the
hammock ?" " I don't know," said Bloice. "To
whom did you sell it ?" asked the witness. " That
I cant't tell," answered Bloice.
Alderman HUGHE, HUGHES—Is this a forged and
fabricated ticket ? Witness—l swear it is.
Alderman HUGHES HUGHES—How was it fabri-
cated ? It is made up of a part of the sixteenth of a
blank, as is perceivable from the check number,
and of other numbers.

Joseph Matthews, a glass-engraver, of Red Lion-
street, Christ-church, Middlesex, was a two years'
acquaintance of Bloice, and always considered him
an honest man. He has brought up a family of five
or six children very respectably.
The prisoner was, after a further hearing, fully
committed for a forgery upon Messrs. Hazard and
Durant, with the intent to defraud them of 10,0001.

RASH Vow.—Every one must rejoice that
the determination said to have been expressed by a Noble
and Learned Lord, never to enter the House again should
the Reform Bill pass, has not been considered binding.

WAVES OF TII E OCEAN.-The largest
waves procee I at the rate of from thirty to forty miles an
hour; yet it is a vulgar belief that the water itself ad-
vances with the speed of the wave. The form of the
wave only advances, wlii!e the substance, except a little
spray above, remains rising and falling in the same place.—
(Arnott's Physic.)

The Clare Journal says—"We have no ap-
pearance of market—neither turf nor potatoes—and this
moment (half past nine o'clock on Saturday) there is one
butcher's stall open, and twc carcasses of mutton and two
of lamb are all that is to be seen, in the way of fresh meat,
for the entire population. An opinion may bo formed of
our situation when we mention that there are only fifty-
nine houses open in the town during this day."
SOONER LOST THAN FOUND.—In a shop-
window in Fleet-street, is the following notice in writ-
ing :—" Seals engraved, and arms found." A sailor who
happened to be minus an arm, and who knew little more
about writing than just to distinguish between B and a
huh's foot, said to a shipmate, after reading the bill, " I
wonder, JENKINS," says he, " if the gentleman could say
where I lost my arm ? eh !"
THE COUNTY OF DURIIAM.—The free-
holders in the northern division appear to approve of the
two candidates, Sir HEDWORTII WILLIA:itsoN and HED-
WORTH LA3IBTON, E,q , who have offered themselves as
re'ormers. But the freeholders in the southern division
do not seem to be equally satisfied with the two gentlemen,
Mr. Bowas of Streatlain Castle, and Mr. R. D. SHAFTO
of Whitworth Park, who have come forward on inde-
pendent principles. The electors residing at Darlington
and the neighbourhood at least require older and more ex-
perienced men as their representatives.—Tyne Mercury.

A pleasant story is related of Madame DE
STAEL, that, on her arrival in London, she eagerly inquired
for the tomb of 'he " immortal Richwaososr," the author
of " Pamela." The person of whom she made the inquiry
did not, however, node' stand her, and referred her to
RICHARDSON'S Hotel in Covent-garden : the hotel-keeper
was likewise at a loss, and sent her to RICHARDSON'S
lottery-office, in Cornhill ; this gentleman, it is said, con-
sulted a bookseller in the neighbourhood, and found that
RICHARDSON, the author, was buried in St. Clement's
Church, in the Strand. Thither the lady proceeded, but
the doors of the church were closed. She had then to
look for the curate and the sexton ; and after the doors
were opened, she, with difficulty, found a small tablet in-
scribed with the name of him whose memory she so en-
thusiastically cherished.
EXILE OF NECKER.—" It was on the 11th
of July," says Madame DE START., " as my father was
sitting down to table, with a numerous dinner party, that
the Minister of the Marine came to his house, and taking
him aside, presented to him a letter from the KING, re-
quiring him to resign his office, and to withdraw from
France as quickly as possible. Aly mother, though in
delicate health, departing without a female attendant,
without even a travelling dress, entered with my father

Extract of a letter from Aleppo, dated May
The Egyptian Chief butAmst's efforts hitherto to
subdue Acre have proved ineffectual ; he has left a corps
of about 12,000 men before that fortress to prosecute its
siege, under the command of laktarisf junior, ABESS
PacrtA, and SOLIMAN, and proceeded through Tripoli
with a corps of 10,000 men in the direction of Homs and
Hainah, where the Podia of Aleppo, MEHEMET PACHA,
iy encamped, and having been joined by other Pachas,
may be said to amount in all to 25,000 men ; but I can-
not say much of their discipline : their cavalry is good,
and artillery better than I expected. If the reinforcements,
naval and military, of the strength of which so much
has been vaunted at Constantinople, would but appear on
the coast, it would soon turn the scale, especially if the
celebrated HUSSEIN PACIIA comes with them. Admiral
H. HOTHAM has despatched the frigate Madagascar to
this coast. She, is at Alexandria at present, and expected
at Bairout in a few days : her object is to view what is
going forward, and to protect British interests if required.
The plague has made its direful scourge at Bairout, but I
am glad to say it is subsided, leaving only a few victims.
p. S. I just now hear it reported that the Damascenes
have sent a deputation to the army of the Pacha of Aleppo,
at Hainah, offering the keys of the city and 20,000
troops, eic,

CONVENTION BETWEEN HIS MAJESTY
AND THE EMPEROR OF ALL THE RUSSIAS.
SIGNED AT LONDON, NOV. 16, 1831.

Their Majesties the King of the United Kingdom ot
Great Britain and Ireland, and the Emperor of all the
Russian, considering that the events which have occurred
in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, since the year
1830, have rendered it necessary that the Courts of Great
Britain and Russia should examine the stipulations of their
C mvention of the 19th May, 1815, as well as of tl e
additional article annexed thereto; considering that such
examination has led the two high contracting parties to
the conclusion, that complete agreement does not exist be-
tween the letter and spirit of that Convention, when re-
garded in connexion with the circumstances which have
attended the separation that has taken place between the
two principal divisions of the United Kingdom of the Ne-
therlands ; but that, on referring to the object of the
abovementioned Convention of the 19th of May, 1615,
it appears that that object was to afford to Great Britain a
guarantee that Russia would, on all questions concerning
Belgium, identify her policy with that which the Court
of London had deemed the best adapted for the mainte-
nance of a just balance of power in Europe ;—and, on
the other hand, to secure to Russia the payment of a por.
tion of her old Dutch debt, in consideration of the gene-
ral arrangements of the Congress of Vienna, to which
she hail given her adhesion,—arrangements which remain
in full force : their said Majesties being desirous at the
present moment, that the same principles should continue
to govern their relations with each other, and that the
special tie which the Convention of the 19th of May,
1815, bad formed between the two Courts, should be
maintained, have for this purpose named as their Planipo-
tiaries, viz. t

His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great
Briton and Ireland, the Right Honourable Henry John
Viscount Pahnerston, Baron Temple, a Peer of Ireland.
a Member of his Britannic Majesty's Most Honourable
Privy Council, a Member of Parliament, and his princi-
pal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs:—
And his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, the
Sieur Christopher Prince of Lieven, General of Infantry
in his Armies, his Aide-de-Camp General, Ambassador
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to his Britannic Ma-
jesty, Knight of the Orders of Russia, Grand Cross of
the Black Eagle and of the Red Eagle of Prussia, of the
Royal Order of the Guelphs, Commander Grand Cross of
the Sword of Sweden, and Commander of the Order of
St. John of Jerusalem;—and the Sieur Adam Count Ma-
tuszewic, Privy Councillor of his said Majesty, Knight of
the Order of St. Anne of the First Class, Grand Cross of
the Order of St. \Vladimir of the Second, Grand Cross
of the Order of the Red Eagle of Prussia of the First,
Commander of the Order of Leopold of Austria, and of
several other Foreign Orders :

Who, after having exchanged their full powers, found
in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded
the following articles :
Article 1..—1 n virtue of the considerations above speci-
fied, his Britannic Majesty engages to recommend to his
Parliament to enable him to undertake to continue, on his
part, the payments stipulated in the Convention of the
19th of May, 1815, according to the mode, and until the
completion of the sum fixed for Great Britain in the said
Convention.

Article IL —ln virtue of the same considerations, his
Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias engages, that if
(which God forbid) the arrangements agreed upon for the
independence and the neutrality of Belgium, and to the
maintenance of which the two high Powers are equally
bound, should be endangered by the course of events, he
will not contract any other engagement, without a pre-
vious agreement with his Britannic Majesty, and his
formal assent.

Article 111 —The present Convention shall be ratified,
and the ratifications shall be exchanged at London, within
the space of six weeks, or sooner if possible.
In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have
signed the same, and have affixed thereto the seals of their
arms.

Done at London the 16th day of November, in the year
of our Lord 1831. .

GO ET E.—A medal is now preparing in me-
mory of GOETHE, at Dresden, representing on one side
the bust of the poet, and on the other his apotheosis. In-
stead, therefore, of being mounted on a eagle, the usual con-
veyance of bards, to the Olympic realms, ever since the
discovery of the celebrated cup in the Pontine marshes, re-
presenting the apotheosis of Houza, GOETHE makes his
ascent on the wings of a swan. It is expected that
GOETHE'S MSS. will furnish fifteen addi•ional volumes
to his works. Among them will be one volume of un-
published poems ; one forming a continuation of " Faust;"
and a fourth volume of his life, comprising the period of
his last residence in Frankfort, till his removal to Wiemar,
viz. from 1771 to 1776, and said to be full of interest.

After OLIVER CRONIWELL'S death, the
regicide Colonel INGOLDSBY zealously adhered to his son
the Protector RICHARD, with whom his gayety and free-
dom from fanatical austerity rendered him a favourite.
LUDLOW, with his usual gravity, says—" Another thing
happened that proved very disadvantageous to the interest
of Mr. RICHARD CROMWELL ; for a certain inferior
officer having publicly murmured at the advancement of
some that had been cavaliers to commands in the army,
he was carried to Whitehall to answer for the same. Mr.
RICHARD CRONIWELL asked him, in a deriding manner,
whether he would hive him prefer none but those that are
Godly ? " Here," he continued, "is DICK INGOLDSBY,
who can neither pray nor preach, and yet I will trust him
before ye all." Those imprudent as well as irreligious
words were soon published in the army and the city to its
great prejudice.—" Trials of CHARLES I. and the Regi-
cides, with Memoirs of BRADSHAW, IRETON, &c."—

GREAT MEETING OF THE ELECTORS OF
THE TOWER HAMLETS.—We understand Mr. HustE and
other Members of Parliament will attend the meeting at
which the several candidates for that district will attend
and state their pretensions. It is of the greatest import-
ance that this great district should make a wise selection,
as the eyes of the public are upon them. The Tories, in
objecting to the Nletropolitan Members, stated that some
demagogue, or person unworthy of the representation,
would be returned by them. It does not appear to be the
case as far as we have heard, as the Lambeth and other
districts are disposed, as r.port goes, to m tke an excellent
choice; and the Tower Hamlets will give the contradic-
tion direct if they should determine to offer to Lord Al-
thorp, as has been rumoured, one of the seats. It will be
a glorious consuinmation of the Reform Bill, to see that
populous, rich, and important district of the Tower Ham-
lets offering their first fruits to that Statesman—an honour
equally great to the electors as to the elected, and, there-
fore, most desirable for the cause itself.

" There was one person, an Englishman, who
was always to be found at this table at the dinner hour,—
a little elderly man, with a small brown wig ; his appear-
ance was that of a mercantile man, which I understood
he had been for many years in London, where he had re-
alized something handsome; he could not speak a word of
French, although he preferred a table d'hote, which
scarcely any others but foreigners frequented. I observed
he ate of almost every dish successively ; indeed, he gave
the excellency of his fare as his reason for living in Paris,
where he had lived, he said, as well as the first Nobleman
in England, upon a moderate income. He regularly put
the same question to me every day, that is, "if I had
heard any thing of the Thames Tunnel ?" An English
gentleman, a well-known dramatist, who was, and had
been for several years, in the habit of dining at his table,
told tne he had asked hiss the same question, the only one
he ever asked, regularly for two years, whenever be
chanced to meet him ; after this he was generally silent
for the rest of the day."—Lydiard's Visit to Paris.
AN AFFECTIONATE WOLF.—The wolf,
when taken young (says BuFFoN) becomes tame, but
never has an attachment. "This" (observes Mr. Witfairr,
in his elegant edition of Buffon's Natural History, "like
most sweeping assertions affirms too much. Mr. FRE•
DERIC CUVIER gives a remarkable instance in which a
wolf manifested for his masters all the devoted attachment
of a dog. The gentleman who brought him up from a
Puppy, and who was going to travel, presented him to the
Paris Menagerie when he was full grown. For se-
veral inconsolable

disconsolate. The master once more returned, and though
it being evening, the wolf's den was shut up, yet the mo
ment the tones of his friend met his ear, he uttered the
most anxious cries. On the door being opened, he darted
towards the long absent person, leaped upon his shoulders,
licked his face, and threatened to bite the keepers when
they attempted to separate them. When the man left
him, he fell sick, rejected all food, Was long on the verge
