The account of the execution of Bonet and twenty-three

from Madrid of the 11th inst. The Madrid Gazette contains

themselves, and decreeing the punishment of death on any
one found guilty of concealing them. A new municipal go-
vernment has been chosen at Alicant.
Queen Christina was not expected to reach Aranjuez be-
fore the 19th. There were current rumours at Madrid of a

which the Queen would have accomplished her 14th year.
M. de Saint Priest has submitted to the Chamber of Depu-

hereafter all religious executions. After the arrival of

a conference was held between Sir Stratford Canning and
Baron de Bourqueney, the Minister of France, subsequently
to which, the first interpreters of the British and French Le-
gations proceeded to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, with a
new communication relative to the subject. On the following

surveyor, to recover from the defendant, a builder, residing
near Blackheath -hill, the sum of 71.185. W., expenses incurred
in the sale in June, 1843, of a house, formerly the property of
the defendant, who was employed to dispose of it by auction.

incurred by the plaintiff, on behalf of the defendant, amount-
ing to 41. 10s., which the defendant, by his solicitor, contended
was the real amount in which he was indebted to the plaintiff,
no further work having been done, and consequently no further
expenses incurred. The plaintiff, however, contended that
4/. 10s., contained other inclosures containing the

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

BOMr-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Two boys, named Ford and Fitzgerald, were sentenced to
fourteen days' imprisonment each, for stealing coals from the
wharfs along the Adelphi.
It appears that great complaints have been made by the
whartingers of the depredations committed by boys. They
go down to the vessels which are laden with coals, and, under
the pretence of playing about the barges, kick from time to
time pieces of coal into the water. As soon as the tide re-
cedes their gambols cease, and their labours commence#
each being provided with a bag, in which they deposit the
coals they find in the mud. The persons in charge of the
barges state that they lose several tons of coal weekly in
this manner.

UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Stiff and John Peacock, two young " sprigs of
fashion," with riding whips and spurs, were charged with
being drunk and furiously riding along. the streets.
The defendants, it appeared, had been at the London
Docks, " tasting" wines, on leaving which they got on horse-
back, when one of them (Stiff) in riding along East-cheap,
was thrown into the road. He was picked up, and having
re-mounted his steed, they both galloped over London-
bridge, and when they got to St. George's Church, Stiff was
thrown off again and stunned, and the policeman, seeing
they were both under the influence of liquor and very abusive,
took them into custody.
Mr. 'hunt, said that Stiff had been before him on three
other occasions for furiously riding in the streets. He fre-
quently had observed kin gallopping along the town to the
danger of the passengers.
Stiff said that he lived on his property, and that he
" tasted" rather too much wine at the London Docks ; that
his horse shied, and that was the way the accident happened.
The other defendant said he would not visit the London
Docks again for some time.
Mr. TRAIL!, held Stiff to bail to keep the peace ; and the
other defendant was held in his recognisance to be of good
behaviour.
Amelia Grant, a young woman, was charged with at-
tempting to commit suicide. •
The defendant was supported by some of the Thames-
police into the Cotut.
From the evidence of two men, named Weller and Duncan,
bargemen, it appeared that about four o'clock this morning
they were aroused from sleep on board their barge, lying near
Waterloo-bridge, on hearing cries of " a woman in the
water," and had just time to jump into a boat alongside,
when they rescued the defendant from drowning. It ap-
peared that she had jumped off the bridge, and was seen by
two gentlemen who were at some distance from the spot from
whence she precipitated herself.
Mr. TuntiA. said the bargemen deserved the rewards from
the Humane Society. He then held the defendant to bail,
herself in 40/. and two sureties of 20/., and in default com-
mitted her to the county gaol.

DEATII FROM OYER-EXERTION:DIA evening, at
a late hour, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the White Lion,
High-street, Shadwell, on the body of Mathew Brady, aged
forty-six. It appeared by the evidence that deceased was a
ballast-heaver, and on Friday morning, after partaking of a
hearty breakfhst, he proceeded, in company withd
his brotherseveral
,

hours in lording a vessel with 40 tons of ballast. On his

induced by the severity of his exertions in the way of his
husiness.—Verdiet,
