the English ships boarded by ours have escaped from
our grasp, and owed their safety to a fault in the con.
struction ; but thanks to the more wall-sided build of our
modern ships, the passage of the deck of one to that of
the other may be effected with extreme facility, our
sailors making but little account of the personal resist-
ance of their adversaries. Our sailors have not forgotten
their former brilliant victories, neither have they for-
gotten their glorious defeat., the causes for which no
longer exist, and which they keep in remembrance only
that they may avenge them. We shall see whether
they have in rain nourished in their hearts a hatred for
England."

MORTALITY DI THE METROPOLIS.—There has
been a considerable decrease in the number of deaths
during the last week. The total number was 934
previous week 1,014 ; average of five summers, 900.
The excess over the average is chiefly attributable to
small-pox, scarlatina, diarrheea, and typhus, which,
taken together, exceed the average by 118, the num-
bers being 227 and 109. In consumption, inflamma-
tion of the lungs, and old age, there is a considerable
decrease. The following is the analysis of the lists
of violent deaths :—Fracture or contusion, five cases,
of which three were by falls ; dislocation, one case ;
wound, two cases, of which one was suicide; drown-
ing, four cases ; poison, two cases, of which one was
suicide ; and murder, one case. Tutal, eight males
and seven females. The thermometer was highest
on Tuesday 68, and lowest on Saturday 48 deg. The
barometer had ranged low during the whole, the
average being about 29.5, and the rain in inches 0.44.

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
William Boultle, a hair-dresser, was brought up,
charged with having, in June last, while in the service
of Mrs. Taylor, of Craven-street, stolen a quantity of
articles, her property.
Mr. Henry Henshall, the superintendent of police at
Bury, in Lancashire, stated that the prisoner applied to
him for relief on Saturday last. He said that he had a
statement to make as he was very uneasy in his mind.
He said that in June last he was in the service of Mrs.
Anne Taylor, of Craven-street, Strand, as hair-dresser,
that on• Sunday, in the month of June, he remained out
all night drinking, and on the following morning, before
any person got up, he went to his mistress' house, and
stole a quantity of razors, fourteen or fifteen in number,
a quantity of hair-brushes, combs, &c., two boxes, and
sundry other articles. Several of the razors belonged
to Mr. Chiffney the jockey, who had left them to be set.
He went to Liverpool from London, and on his road sold
the razors for drink at various public-houses, that he was
in great distress, and had come to the determination of
giving himself up to justice. After the prisoner had
made this statement, the witness said he should detain
him on a charge of felony.
Mr. HILL committed the prisoner for trial.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
An elderly man, decently attired, and of demure look,
was charged with stealing a newspaper and other articles
from the Lady Owen's Arms, in Goswell-street.
The prisoner went into the tap-room on the previous
evening, called for a glass of ale, and, whilst drinking it,
pocketed the evening paper, snuffers and stand, and
everything else that was capable of concealment on his
person. The potman followed and arrested him, and the
prisoner offered him a sum of money to allow him to
escape; but a police-constable came up and secured him.
He was committee' for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
John Williams, who refused to give his address, was
charged with having the care and management of a
certain common gambling house, at No. 2, Bennett-
street, St. George, Hanover-square, and (so entered on
the police charge sheet), Thomas Watson, of Northamp-
ton, currier, Williom Brown, of No. 2, Bennett-street.
St. James's, wine-merchant, John Thompson, of Charles-
street, Euston-square (no occupation), and Charles
Crayen, of No. 1, Great London-road, tobacconist, with
being found in the same without lawful excuse.
In pursuance of the very laudable intention of the
Commissioners of Police to put down all gambling
houses, an entrance to one of those dens, No. 30i,
LT. Ts. es inienf two a Pfrprtwi
afternoon, between five and six o'clock. The parties
had, no doubt, received information, by some means, of
the intended visit, and consequently no person or
gambling implement 3 were found within.
Superintendent Hughes, of the D division, produced
the order he had received, signed by one of the Police
Commissioners, to enter the house, No. 2, Bennett-street.
He went there, accompanied by Superintendent Beres-
ford, of the C division. Mr. Beresford rung the bell, and
it was answered by Williams.Beresford then asked if
there would be any play that night. Williams said "No."
The police then entered:the house. In the:parlour a gas-
light was binning. A door on the stair-case, leading
to the first floor and the upper part of the house, was
found to be locked. Beresford asked him how he
was to open it, and Williams produced the key. The
other defendants were found in different apartments of
the house. There were not any gambling tables or im-
plements on the premises.
Superintendent Beresford said that there was a tele-
graphic communication by means of bell wire with the
outer-door, and they only played hazard now, and it
was easy on the slightest alarm to "plant away" the box
and dice used in the game. The house had been en-
tered before and the defendants were the known fre-
quenters of such places and the associates of common
gamblers.
Mr. HARDWICK said there could be no moral doubt as
to the character of the house in question, but there was
not the legal proof necessary for a conviction ; the de-
fendants must, therefore, be discharged.

DEPARTURE OF THE RUSSIAN FRIGATE AURORA.—
On the turn of the tide on Tuesday forenoon, this fine
ship weighed anchor and left Gravesend, where she has
been lying for nearly a month, on her return to St. Pe-
tersburg'', with dispatches for the Emperor. On Friday
last a splendid fete was given to the Admiral, Captain,
and her officers, by G. Combes, Lq., the town clerk of
Gravesend. There were also present Commander Flew-
inz and the officers of her Majesty's ship Ocean, lying
off Sheerness ; Major Harold and officers of the 76th
Regiment, Major Kelly and officers from Tilbury Fort,
the members of the corporation, and about 150 of the
neighbouring gentry and their ladies. The lawn and
gardens attached to Mr. Combe's residence were in the
evening most brilliantly illuminated with variegated
lamps, and altogether the entertainment was one of the
most brilliant affairs that has taken place in Gravesend
for a considerable period. Dancing was kept up till a
late hour, and on retiring, the officers of the Aurora
expressed themselves in a very warm and grateful man-
ner for the attention and hospitality shown them.
THE DUKE or DEVONSHIRE.—It is entirely with-
out foundation that the Noble Duke contemplates dis-
posing of his Lismore estates. From that property being
entailed, his Grace has not the power of sale ; which is
the best refutation we need give of the several misstate-
meats that have gained circulation.
