SPAIN.
Madrid journals of the 6-h have arriv. d.
These journals announce the departure from Ma-
drid of General Joed de la Concha for Cadiz, nom
whence he is to embark for Cuba. The postage on
Spanish newspapers during the month cf August
amounted to 48,572 reals, of which nearly 30,000
were paid by the Madrid journals. During the same
month the postage of letters amounted to about
2,000 000 reals.
A Madrid letter of the 6th again revives the ru-
mours of a Alinisterial crisis. General Narvaez, it is
said, had recommended G,neral Serrano to epp* ar at
the lest re,eption for kissit:g hand, nett lily their Ma-
jesties. The General, it appeared, fanc ed he nail
reason to complain of the coolness of their Majesties
to him, and he wrote an angry letter to General Nar-
vaez. The latter, having had a little before an alter-
cation with General Cordova, is repre,ented to have
declared that he was so pestered with annoyances
that he would resign. His colleagues strongly recom-
mended him not to execute the design, and it was
believed that he would not persist in it. The Minister
of the Interior had been summoned to Madrid by te-
legraph, The 6th being Sunday, the Stock Ex-
change was not open, but the Threes were at 34k.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

Thomas Brett and William Ahern, alias Barry, were
brought before Mr. Alderman Sidney, charged under
the following circumstances:—
It appeared that, in consequence of information re-
ceived by Messrs. Benjamin John Eling and Frederick
Pargeter, officers of the Inland Revenue, they went to a
fish shop in Golden•lane, and, after searching some time,
found a trap-door leading to a series of cellars, in
which were the two prisoners, working a large still,
capable of producing 330 gallons of spirits of wine per
week, which would defraud the revenue of about 30/.
per day. The prisoners had been in the habit of work-
ing day and night, being relieved at fixed periods.
There was a considerable quantity of wash, and also
some molasses. The still belongs to a company, who
have an immense number of similar establishments in
various parts of the City, having regular agents to dis-
pose of their illicit spirits.
The prisoners said they were only labourers.
Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said the prisoners had been
found at illicit distillation, and the Act distinctly stated
the penalty to be 301., or three months' imprisonment.
If the prisoners could show anything mitigatory they
must do so in a memorial to the Commissioners of Inland
Revenue.

TUE ARGYLL ROOMS.

The CIIAIIIMAN stated that he hsd this morning re-
ceived a letter, i❑ reference to the above rooms, from the
Re-v. Mr. Jackson and the churchwardens and overseers
of the parish of St. James's, Westminster, with reference
to the part they had taken in opposing the application
of Mr. Laurent. The note commenced by stating that
a meeting of their body was held last night, and they
took the opportunity of defending themselves from the
statements made by the counsel for the application.
They bad opposed from the well-founded experience
of the bad results arising from such places, and they
thought the conduct of three or four vestrymen wrong
in presenting a petition in favour of that place, and thus
en lbling counsel to make an unwarrantable attack upon
them.

Mr. WINN, a magistrate, said he thought the conduct
of the authorities of St. James's highly commendable.
The Clerk of the Court having gone through the
whole of the appl'cations the Court adjourned.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES,

A letter from Hamburg of Oct. 8, in the Indepen-
dance Beige, says After the sanguinary 'catas-
trophe of l'riedericlostadt, the Holstein army resumed
its old positions at Suderstapel, where Col. Von der
Tann holds the chief command. General de Willisen
returned on the 6th to Rendsburg with some bat-
talions. To-day a Danish corps issued from its en-
trenchments and resumed the offensive by attacking,
without any marked result, two battalions of the
Holstein rear-guard. During the 6th the flames
were still seen rising up from the unfortunate town
of Friederichstadt ; at that time only 24 houses were
standing, the rest of the town, with. its edifices and
its churches, having been reduced to ashes
by the Holstein bombs. A great number of soldiers
have been suffocated by the heat and smoke, and many
of the inhabitants shared the same fate. Yesterday
Baron Durbing-Holmfeldt, charge d'affaires of Den
mark to our Senate, notified to it that its Government
would never recognise as of value the treasury bonds
created and thrown into circulation by the Lieute-
nancy-General; and that also it would consider in
the same light all money without the King's head and
arms that might be struck in Holstein. A great part
of the paper money in quesrion having been thrown
into circulation here, apprehensions are entertained
that a marked depreciation in its value will take
place."

MANSLAUGHTEIt EY A FA.rnsn-IN-Law.—John Marriott
was charged upon the Coroner's inquisition, with killing and
slaying James Plowright.
Mr. Miller conducted the case on the part of the prose-
cution.

Ann Plowright deposed that she is the widow of the de-
ceased, James Plowright, and daughter of the prisoner. She
had been married not quite five months. Her husband, who
was twenty-one wears of age, had a fit about a fortnight be•
fore his death. They lived in the same house with the pri•
soner. Three sister and a brother slept in the same room
with the prisoner. The eldest is fourteen, the youngest is
9.ig. On the 25th of June last her husband returned from
his work about seven o'clock, and they went to bed about
nine. Heard her father and mother talking. Heard her
father say to her mother, " ff you don't speak I'll throttle
you." He then called out at the door, "Is your party in
bed Are you listening to me ?" He was not answered.
Heard her mother fall on the floor. Her sister Ann ran in
and called to witness's husband. Witness ran in first to her
father's chamber, and her husband followed, but he fell down
stairs as be went. On going into the room, saw the bed-
clothes on the floor. Her father had hold of her mother.
The deceased struck her father, and took her mother from
his arms. Deceased told her father to sit down, and
tell her civil what he meant to do. He said, " I have
told you, and I mean to do it to-night." He then
went up to the deceased, and took him by the feet, and threw
backwards. They both fell, the father uppermost. De-
ceased scratched his father's face, while witness, her mother,
and sister, endeavoured to draw him off; but could not move
him. In two or three minutes he got up and went down
stairs, and deceased get up. He threw his arms round his
mother's neck, and said, " Oh mother, mother, he's done for
me." He then took witness round the waist, and said, "Oh
dear, I can't see you; I can't hear you," and fell dawn in-
sensible, and never spoke afterwards. A surgeon was fetched,
but he died betbre tie surgeon arrived. There was no cause
91quarrel between him and her father, who had several times
gttf-Mptea to destroy himself. In the month of May he hack
attempted to cut his •throat, but was prevented ty th,e de-.
ceased.

testimony.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1844.

In the House of Lordi the Detached Parts of.the
Counties Bill was read a second time.
Lord CA:OYMa,', presented a petition from CHARLES
IIENRY Russgut, praying that he might be heard by
counsel against the Race-course Gaming Bill, and
gave notice that, on tho order of the day being read
for the committal of the Bill, counsel shoull be heard
against it.
Lord BROUGHAM, in reference to the Aliens Bill,
brought up from the other House, called the attention
of their Lordships to the anomalous- and unjust posi-
tion in which foreigners were placed in this country
a..; regarded the acquisition of property and the per-
formance of civil duties. In no other country was a
foreigner so ill treated as in England. Even a natu-
raLsed foreigner could not hold the humblest office
under the Crown, while a foreigner might, accord-
ing to the Act of Settlement, be chosen as the hus-
band of the QUEEN, and be endowed with all
Iltitish privileges. It did not appear that the Bill
stood for discussion that evening, end no other Lord
spoke on the subject. •
On the motion of Lord MONTEAGLE the Art-
-,ilkarots Bill was read a second tine.

LAW AND POLICE.

At Northampton, on Wednesday, William Gardner, aged
52, was capitally. convicted of having, on the 18th of March,
set fire, in the night, to the house of William Hollier, in the
parish of, Chacomb, there being no less than six persons
therein asleep in their beds. Sentence of death was recorded.
At Huntingdon, Samuel Baxter, a respectable little boy,
aged 10 years, and not unlike the celebrated General Tom
Thumb, having pleaded guilty to a charge of firing four straw
stacks, the property of Robert Daintree, of Hetningford Ab-
bots, on the 11th May, was sentenced to be transported for 15
years.

William Wilson, the driver of a Merton omnibus, was
charged before Mr. Cottingham, at Union-hall Police-court,
with committing an assault of an aggravated nature on Miss
Hannah Murrell, residing at N'o. 30, Mornington-crescent,
Hampstead-road. The complainant entered the wrong ve-
hicle, and the defendant would not allow her to leave it with-
out payment. She attempted to leave, and the assault was
then committed. Mr. Cottingham inflicted a fine on Wil-
son, the driver, of 31. and costs for the assault on Miss Mur-
rell, and adjudged Steel, the conductor, to enter into his re-
cognisance in 1001., and find two sureties of 501., each to ap-
pear at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, in
order to give the complainant an opportunity of indicting
him for perjury in giving his evidence, a step which he
strongly advised her to adopt.
At the same Court, Henry Shepherd, the driver of a Car-
shalton omnibus, was charged with furiously driving and
endangering the lives of the passengers. Mr. Cottingham,
instead of inflicting a fine, which would be easily paid, said
he should commit the defendant for a month to hard labour.
A person named Simon Simmons, who had been appre-
hended at North Shields, was charged at Lambeth-street
with uttering two forged acceptances, purporting to be those
of Samuel Abraham, the one for 29/. 10e., and the other for
451., and also defrauding several tradesmen to a very consi-
derable amount. Several cases were gone into, and the pri-
soner was remanded to a future day, when it is expected that
several new charges will be brought against him, his trans-
actions being enormously extensive.

CEL E B R IT Y.
How few in the circles of 'commerce have won
Celebrity equal to MOSES and SON !
Wherever we wander we hear of their name,
And witness their brilliant hal3 of fame.
Nct only in Britain's domain are they known,
But far.distant countries their influence own.
And even by negroes (whose hearts they have won)
Massa MOSES is talk'd of, and so is his SON.
And well may their glorious fame spread afar.
When we think what their famous habiliments are.
The beautiful garments which they have on hand,
Deserve to be known to the farthermost land.
The noble achievements which Wellington won,
Are far less than those of E. MOSES and SON.
0 may their " Celebrity" still spread around!
May their articles still to their credit redound !
May their fame still be sounded abroad and at home,
And spread like a banner wherever we roam.
May the universe tell of the wonders they've done,
And of all things connected with MOSES and SON. _

On Wednesday the half-yearly meeting of the Governors
of the City Dispensary was held in the board-room of the
institution, Queen-street, Cheapside, for the purpose of tran-
sacting the usual business—Mr. Nathaniel ginger in the
chair: It appears that during the past year upwards of 5,000
poor persons have participated in its benefits, and since its
institution in 1789, 256,054 patients were admitted. At the
anniversary dinner held at the London Coffee-house a few
days since, the donations then made amounted to 765/. 128.,
and new annual subscribers, to 291.85.

Earl de Grey and suite took his final departure from Dublin
on Tuesday.
A general Court- martial assembled at eleven o'clock on
Wednesday, in the mess-room of the Woolwich division of
Royal Marines, for the trial of Lieutenant Charles Louis, of
the Woolwich division, on the following charge :—" For hav-
ing absented himself from his guard in the Victualling-yard,
at Deptford, without due authority, on or about the Bth of
July, 1844, and not rejoining the same until the morning of
the following day."—Lieutenant and Adjutant Berney Varlo
officiated as acting Judge-advocate, and the whole of the
evidence for the prosecution was completed at an early hour,
after which the Court adjourned until this day at eleven
o'clock, when the prisoner will proceed with his defence.
We are credibly informed, says the Freeman's Joumal of
yesterday, that no less than thirty boys were expelled in one
batch on Saturday last for wearing an emblem of their na-
tional feeling, and that the number who, because of their
being Irish in feeling as well as by birth, have been thus
driven from the schools established by Parliamentary grant
for their education, within the last few weeks, amounts to
nearly 200.
The parochial authorities of St. John's, Islington, have
offered. rewards for the apprehension of the fathers of five
families, who have absconded, leaving the latter a burthen
upon the parish.
Many bullocks have been landed at Plymouth from Spain
this week. Having had a short and favourable passage they
appear in good condition, but neither in quantity or quality
—in flesh, sinew, and bone—are they, according to report, 11
to be compared for a moment with the true Devons. About ,1
40 of them were sold on Friday on the quay, and realised 1
from 50s to 55s per cwt.

After about twelve years' suspension, or rather compara-
tive inactivity, the General Annuity Society has resuscitated.
A dinner in aid of its funds was held on Wednesday evening
at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. The subscriptions
exceeded 3001.

not to wish or do not wish to titlr nest door nOghbours
all the pro-perity and happiness they can dealt for
themselves. In speaking of the settlement of Algiers,
our allusion to which is seized upon as a ground
of *offence; we gave expres:Aon to a conviction which
is, we believe, universal in. this country, and
in most other countries of Europe, arid which
is certainly held by a very great number of
inteligent men in France itself—the conviction that
the settlement cannot bo permanently maintained upon
any very extensive scale, if at all, All the circumstances
of the case considered, this conviction is riot In the
least shaken by any votes which the Chamber
of Deputes may • be compelled by " the pressure
from without" to pass, or the Government may,
by force of the same pressure, be compelled to pro-
pose. The history of the world, ancient and modern,
presents no example of a territory as extensive =half as
extensive—one-tenth as extensive as Algeria, per-
manently r, twined under such circumstances as those
under which France has acquired and now holds that
country. England, with her vast naval superiority,
and the re.nurees for military service which her one
hundred millions of talian population could sup-
ply, would deem it madness to attempt such
an acquisition of territory. But the prevailing opinion
of England in the matter is most plainly written in our
policy. An equality, if not pralominance, in • the
Mediterranean is of course as desirable to as as

it can be to France ; but how have we sought to
secure this object ? By. large territorial conquests ;
expensive in their acquisition ; more expensive, and
always hazardous in their preservation ? No ; though
in 1800 we might have laid our grasp upon Sicily and a
groat part of Egypt—though in 1816 we might have
effected a lodgment in Algeria—though in 1840 we
had the whole of Syria, to say noth;ng of the facility
with which we "might at almost any moment during
the war possess ourselves of the Balearic Islands, or
any of them ; notwithstanding all these opportuni-
ties, England contents herself with half-a-dozen islands
of the smallest size and the rock of Gibraltar, and these
she finds amply sufficient for the protection of her com-
merce. Be our opinion respecting the permanence of the
large French settlement in Algiers, however, correct or
incorrect, it is surely unjust to ascribe that opinion to
envy or ill. will.
