POLICE I N'FF,LIACt ENC

BOW.STREE'r—(TtIis DAY.)
" Which is my mother ?"
This curious and interesting question was propounded to the
Worthy Magistrate by a very decent young woman, who ape
plied fora summons against a person whom she supposed pose
sensed of the required information. From the scarcely audible
statement of the applicant) we gather the following romantic
particulars of her peculiar circumstances :
! Of parental tenderness, or parental relationship, her me.
mory bore not the slightest association, and the only he.
i man beings at whose hands she had experienced kindness
were two females, sisters, by whom jointly she had bon
brought up and supported until recently. 'j'heso females
are now about fifty years of age, and each had ever taught
the object of their apparent affection to consider her as
her aiu:t. One of thei,c was now an inhabitant of the
workbags° of St. Ann's Parish, her name is Jane Smith,
and she had recently. told applicant that she was her mother, re,
fusing however to give her any intelligence of htir father, the'ree
gistry of her birth or her age, which however she believed to be
about thirty. Notwithstanding this declaration of maternal re..
lationship, applicant had reason to suppose to that Jane Smirk's
sister (of whose residence she is ignorant) is her mother, Viit
that having appropriated to her own use the annuity arising
cult of the sum of 2,0001.1 which applicant has ground for be.
Veving to have been bequeathed by her father, to herself and to
deceased sister—the aunts or the mother and aunt have
evalesced to deceive and defraud her of the only property to
which she has any right to consider herself entitled.
Applicant stated that she was unwilling to enter Into further
particulars, adding that the brother of her aunts was a highly
respectable solicitor, who she was convinced is entirely blame.
less in the transaction to which she had alluded. She therefore
implored the worthy Magistrate, to grant her a summons
against Jane Smith, declaring herself her mother but whom
she believed her aunt; that it the former, she might give her
that information the so ardently desired.
0. R. lIIINSITULL, Esq. after devoting much anxious atten.
tion to the poor girl's application, inforttied her that he would
send for and privately examine the person in St. Ann's work-
house, requesting the subsequent attendance of the applicant
who, with every appearance of asrateful sense of the "000
Magistrate's kindness left the office.

We yesterday stated the Bank to have come
to the resolution of advancing Four
it seems that the limit of assistance to the public,
will not extend beyond Three millions. In the
House of Commons last night, the Debate turned,'
not on the necessity of relief—but the princi-
ple of the means by which it should be afforded.
Mr. Trs:ttiely and Mr. Banns° reprobated the
proposed advance by the Bank—contending that
the issue of Exchequer Bills would, in every
point of view, be preferable. The principal grounds
of such preference were the power of ascertaining ,
the necessity of loans, that might be asked by
examining the applicants on oath—and the
probable liberation of private capital now lock-
ed up, inasmuch as Bankers and other Cnpi-
talists, would readily lend on the deposit
of Exchequer Bills, who steadily refuse to make
advances upon goods. It cannot be denied, that
this has been an invariable feature of the money
market—Capitalists being very naturally ap-
prehensive of the legal difficulties which nre
so frequently arising, on questions as to the
actual property in goods. As, however,
it is proposed to accelerate the operation
of the Act passed in the last Session, by
which possession is, from October next, to be
held evidence of property in goods, that
scruple might be overcome. Nevertheless, the
superior facility with which Exchequer Bills can
be negociated, must at all times insure a pre-
ference to that species of Security. To the a rgu-
['lents in favour of Exchequer Bills, the Cu ANcur,
LOR of the Exerts:our:lt went over nearly the same
ground as Lord Li v EILPOO a on Mondayin the House
of Lords----the present depreciation of Exchequer
Bills iu the money market, and consequent dill'''.
culty of conversion. And if, as might be expected,
they should fall to a great discount, it would
naturally follow, that the new would how
hack to the Exchequer in payments for duties.
On this point of argument, the Castles:Limit of
the ExcliEQuEtt has decidedly the advantage.
If, with the present limited amount of Ex•
chequer Bills, they are kept at par, solely by
the Bunk purchases, what hope could there be
that an additional issue of five millions would not
still further depress the market ? Would the af-
fection of private capitalists be generated for Ex..
chequer Bills, by such additional issue, for the
present depression of Exchequer Bills in the
market must, e fear, be taken as decisive proof
that no such affection exists ? The direct ex-
change of bank notes for deposits of goods, is cer-
tainly a more summary mode of administering re•
lief. Our apprehension is, however, that the pro-

land," winch lately appeared hi one of the
Edinburgh Joutnals, under the signature of

Mahal Malagrowther, is at length published in
the more dignified form of a pamphlet. There is
no subject, however dry and discouraging it may
be, that will not become attractive and interesting
in the hands of Sir Walter Scott. On the present
subject the fascination of his style is much
greater than the force of his reasonings, and his
invective, is much keener than his argument ;
but both are at times powerful, and are made to
tell with considerable effect. He charges the En-
glish with being proverbially jealous of innova-
tion. Nolumus loges Anglia. mutari, he says is
written on the skirts of their judical robes, as the
most sacred texts of Scripture were inscribed on
the phylacteries of Rabbis. The belief that the
common law of England constitutes the perfec.
lion of human reason is a maxim bound upon
their forehead. He does not find fault with
this prejudice ; on the contrary, he admits it to
be a prejudice honourable in itself, and useful
to the public. 66 I only find fault with it,"
says he, 44 because, like the Friars in the
Duenna, these English Monks will not tolerate in
their lay brethren in the North the slightest pre-
tence to a similar feeling." That the complaints
of our lay brethren on this score are well found.
NI, would not, we think, be very easily proved.
He insists, however, that the old saying is still
true in all its points—Touch but a cobweb in
Westminster Hall, and the old spider will come
out in defence of it. But, we would ask, is not
Sandy, in his turn, as faithful to his own preju •
dices, whether of law or gospel, and does he not
bolt the ,door as strongly against all innovation ?
The fact is, that human nature is the same every
where ; every miller draws the Wafei' to his own
mill ; and we fear it is as true of nations as of in-
dividuals, that wiles is a source of profit
never be surrendered as long as it can be kept.
Sir Walter complains bitterly of the recent con-
solidation of the Revenue Boards of Scotland
with those of England, on .the recommendation
of the Commissioners of Inquiry.

Extract ,qf a Letter, dated calcutia, Sept. 30.
" We are anxiously looking to the operations
of the Free Sager Company, and we are certain
that the introduction of machinery for grinding
the canes,would be attended with most salutary
results, both in cheapening the article and im-
proving the grain. The attempts of the West
Indians to poison the minds of the public at
home, with regard to East India slavery, have also
been the subject of some discussion in the
newspapers here, and the West India interest
has not wanted an advocate even in this free
ceuntry ; but their arguments have been almost
altogether too absurd to, require notice. That
slavery does not in India is most certain,
with the exception of one description of-domestic
mule and females, that are to be purchased in
the upper districts of Ilindostan. From a resi-
-6116: of seven years in the heart of the largest
sugar district in India, we can safely aver that
no such thing as slavery exists among the Ityots."

CRANBOURNE CHASE.—This chase is said to
extend over half a million of acres, and the present stock of deer
is at least from ten to twelve thousand. The right of chase, the
greatest ever possessed even by any Monarch of this country, ex-
tending over not fewer than 500,000 acres of land, is the sole
property of George Lord Rivers, who has repeatedly refused offers
of purchase made by other Noblemen, but has recently proposed
to the land-owners to disfranchise it, on tkeir binding themselves
to a payment to him and his heirs, Of 1,8001. per annum. Th.-
gentlemen of the Hunt, however, expressed themselves as rather
desirous that the stock of deer ghoul,' be reduced to about 0,090,
than that this ancient and splendid right should be given up en-
tirely by hie Lordship. -

LORD GIFFORD.

ri.T:ise.sipnargazi: b.eStowte4o ;Lard Gifford, just deceased,
.and
Lord Chancellor King, who died in the reign of. George
Were • natives of the sante
Exeter; both -the sons of grocers there. ,Each.was put
into the way of arriving at legal dignities by chance from a
birth and station in life equally humble and obscure- One
arose to the Chancellorship, and the other was marked out
for that station, had he lived; 'and, finally, in the dates of
their birth there was a remarkable coincidence' Lord King
being born in the year 1669, and ,Lord Gifford in 1779.
An unconqUerable love for learning enabled both to
emancipate from their father's counters, and mount to the
Peerage, and by somewhat the sante kind.of:step. Lord
King began the study of the law later in life than the late
Master of the Rolls, having served in his father's shop Until
nearly eighteen years of age ; and many persons were living
in his native city of Exeter, after he arrived at high legal
rank, who rememberadhaving the honour of receiving their
groceries at the hands Of :young Mr. Peter, though they
had no idea that they then saw in him a future Lord Chan-
cellor of Great Britain.
Being passionately, kind of re4dipgilkoo Lord King and
Lord Gifford soon acquired that intelligence which induced
their friends to think that they were born for something
above tradesmen. The first Nobleman owed his studying
for the bar to the accident of his 'being distantly related to
Locke. That philosopher, on a visit to the family, be-
coming acquainted with the extent of his reading, and,,
struck with the superiority of mind hi displayed, persuaded,
his father to send him to Leyden to. study ; and on.hiare,
turn,. greatly improved, induced him to enter himself of
the Inner Temple, where he conunenced his career of legal
!dusty, LOrd Gifford, by as mere an accident, a difference
with the solicitor to whom he wits articled, was induced to
quit a branch of the profession in which he could never
have arisen to be higher than a respectable, or, pedal*
wealthy solicitor, and to study also for the Bar. fhe re-
spective gradations of each afterwards, until they lu-rived
at the highest legal honours, and the Peerage, were as
follow :

Lord King, chosen M.P. at the, age of thirty. In
1708 chosen Recorder of .London, AO the, same year
knighted., In 1714 he was appOinted Chief Jtistice of
the Common Pleas, and sworn of the PriVy Council,
1725 raised to the Peerage by the tide of Lord King,
Baron of Ocham, in Surrey; 'and was:the same year ap-
pointed Lord High Chancellor. of Great Britain, in the
room of the Earl of Macclesfield ; resigned the , seals ,in
1733, and died in July the next year. Lord
.Prigos,d,
after practising some years at the Bar, was appointed .:soli-
citor-General in 1817, Attorney-General in 1819, Lord
Chief Justice of .the Common Pleas in 1824, anal was the
same year appointed MaSter of the Rolls, in which situa-
tion (with the Chancellorship in view), he died in Sep-
tember, 1820.

NA VAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, Dec. lB,—lt was not intended that the troops
for Portugal should sail before to-morrow (Tuarday) morning ;
hut at five o'clock yesterday morning one of the King's messen-
gers arrived with despatches to Sir Thomas Hardy, ths effect of
which was, that the Romney, bD guns, Captain N. Lockyee,
C. 8., and Pyramus, Captain Sartorious, sailed at 11 a.m. with
the 4th regiment of foot un begird, haring the Wellesley and
Melville with parts of the 2tl regiment of Guards end 631 regi-
ment at Spithead. At two p.m. the remainder of the Guards
and 63d regiment marched in, the former from 'the metropolis,
and the latter fiom Windsor, and directly proceeded to the point
of embarkation, (the King's-ettrirs, in the Dock-yard), and went
tiff to those ships in the highest order and goodAArits. At
;tkven a.m. to-day, the Spartiate, 74, Captain Warren, went
out: of harbour, fitted to receive the flag ottbs..Cotimeader-
iti-Chief in the Tagus. The wind being light, the:l4oe *teem-
pickets were pressed into the service to assist her in sitting out
of harbour. It is understood that the general.effintro-wal go out
this ship. At day-light to-morrow, .Sir Thomas Hardy will
sail with the 'Wellesley and Melville, leaving the Sliattiiitt to
bring on the general officers, and tbe staff and hones ; none of
them except Major-General Sir Edward illakeney, K.C.8., are

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

The Lord Mayor held a Court of Aldermen at Guildhall yester-
day, to receive the report of the election of an Alderman for the
Ward of Vintry, and for other business.
'Tit...Attorney in waiting attended, and delivered in his report
of .t.ho election of Henry Winchester, Esq., to be Alderman of the
Ward of Vintry, in the room of Christopher Maguey, Esq. de-
ceitiett:' •

A petition from E. A. Wilde, Esq., one of the candidates for the
said office, was presented against the return and election of Mr.
Sheriff Winchester, as also a petition from a few inhabitants of
the Ward to a similar effect.

Mr. Sheriff Winchester attending, requested to be sworn into
the office of Alderman for that Ward.

The Court,• after considerable discussion, adjourned the eon-
aideration of the whole subject to a Special Court to be holden on
the 28th instant.

The Police Committee presented a report, with several regu-
lations, for •better conducting the police of the City, which was
agreed to and ordered.

The Gaol Committee presented a report, with the annual return
of the several prisons, to be made to the Secretary of State, pur-
suant to the directions of the Act of Parliament, which was ap-
proved, and the return ordered to be male accordingly.

Not A. day, and scarcely an hour, passes without
arrivals front France. Among them are not a few persons who
are anxious to gain that knowledge of the real state of affairs,
which they cannot obtain at home. Several merchants and ma-
nufacturers have corns over with the avowed purpose of **certain-
ing the extent and prospects of the new war—as they term it.
Last night we met with a Frenchman of rather portly mient, who
accosted us in his own language, and evinced an eager desire for
conversation. " What is likely to be the course your country
will take ?"—we asked. "My eountly"—said he—" is govern-
-114 now by the same sort of men that govern Spain, and if they
can have their will, France will defend that country, and leave
Pottugal to its fate." " But at the risque"--we asked—" a war
England ? With a violent shrug, he said—" My King cares
for the Spanish more than for England ; and I tell you ltgain,
they can 'have it so, Spain will be defended."—Cinque Ports

CORONERS' INQUESTS.

ME. NEWMAN, THE STOcIittROKEE.--•Yesterday an In-
quest was held on the body of Mr. Newman, the Stock-
broker, which was found in a lifeless state in a field near
Hampstead, with a pistol, the fatal instrument, in his
hand. This was the person said to have had recourse to
an expedient to recover his losses, which having failed, he
lost all self-possession. The Jury found a verdict—" That
the deceased had destroyed himself, being at die time in a
state of mental derangement."
An inquisition was taken at the Saracen's Head, New-'
port Pagnel, on Thursday last, on view of the body of Ed-
ward Clarke, Esq. (formerly a 'West India merchant), who
shot .himself in a bed-room at the said inn, on the Tuesday
night preceding. It appeared in evidence, that the de-
ceased arrived from London, at the &tram's Head Inn,
on Tuesday morning, by the Leicester Union coach. He
dined with the passengers, and did not appear depressed
in spirits. He took coffee in the evening; and, beforstle.
tiring to his bed-room, had a good lire ,made in the room,
to relieve, as was supposed, a violent asthmatic complaint
with which he was affected. On the dressing-table he
LThmate complaint affects toy tninil ;
left a note, written with a pencil, and fastened by his shirt

Immediately after the unhappy man's arrival et New-
port, it was ascertained that he purchased at a gunsmith's
six bullets.. He had previously provided. Wood with
a pistol and powder. The Jury, however, returned a ver-
diet of insanity. The remains of the deceased were in-
terred in the church-yard of Newport Algol, on Friday
morning, attended by Mr. Van liagetOir: Newberry, and

MR. NEWNIAN, THE STOCKBROKER.

to be a defaulter early on Friday ; he„. hitl,:tt seems,_ set-
tled his affairs by drafts on his Banker, and
retired, as
usual, after business to his house, at Hampstead. The
drafts were returned unpaid, and some-of the parties who
had discovered the circumstance of the forgery, waited on
him at his country house for an explanation, and to entreat
him not to remain there, but to effect his escape while he
was able to do so. Mr. Newman was in the midst of a num-
,ber offriendu; ,whobad been invited to celebrate the anni-
versary of his wedding-day ; and the parties were request-
ed by Mr. Newman to wad, as he was at that moment en-
gaged in singing part of a duet with a lady at the piano-
. forte. As soon as he appeared, the gentlemen intimated
their discovery,. and its probable consequences, and urged
• him to conic with them, and get out of the way : he, how-
ever, declined this, saying he should be down in the City
in the morning, and should put every thing to rights. On
the parties leaving him, he joined his friends, and finished
the evening with them. We • are informed, that in the
early part of the night he complained to Mrs. Newman
of having had a bustling day in the City, and he seemed dis-
inclined to sleep. Mrs. Newman, on waking in the morn-
ing, missed her husband, and in the course of the day the
melancholy fact of his having committed suicide in a field,
at the back of his house, was discovered. The body was
found by some lads, who were playing in the field. It is
supposed that he left his bed before daylight, and had shot
himself at a very early hour. Ha bad been a man of to-
lerably extensive dealings, but an inveterate speculator, and
that he had suffered latterly some very severe losses, which
he had not the philosophy to bear up against, and was im-
prudent enough to endeavour to make them good by an act
which he doubtless intended as a mere temporary re-
source, in the hope that he could retrieve his cireum-
stances.—Times.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—The parish authorities of
St. Giles's have come to the economical resolution of •ectitlisig out
the .male paupers to " seek whom they may devour," after a re,
past of a slice of bread and cheese, and 3d. per diem, for lodging
and luxuries. Among the dissentients of Monday, to this motion
were the two.petitioners to the Sitting Magistrate, introduced by
the overseer in person, Mr. Giblett, who prefaced the case to Mr.
Roe, by saying, " This man, Sir, is one of our paupers; we have
his -wife and two children in the workhouse; last Wednesday we
discharged him from the house, and gave him 25., which be is
not content with, for a week ; he is a coach-smith—a very good
business, and a young man like him surely can get work for him-
self. We will give him sg. a day, and a slice of bread and cheese,
till he gets work."

Mr.4tox (to the applicant Harrison)—What are your weekly
wages when in good work ? Harrison—Thirty shillings, your
Worship.
Mr. Roz—Have you offered to work for any master for half-a-
crown a day—at a reduction of wages ? Harrison-1 have offered
to my shopmates.

shopmates are not. the persons to apply to; it
is their interest to support high wages. What masters have you
applied to at half-a-crown a day—name two or three? Harrison
—I hive not offered myself to masters—there is no employment
trade is very dead.
Mr. Hoz—Show me that you have offered to work fiw
crown, 6,nd I'll order you relief; but, while you stand out for
I shall order you nothing.

parish funds to be
,expended on a young man like bi'm ; we give
away 20,0001. a year.

offer to work for half price, I shall order them,oo.colief. Mr.

MEETING AT ST. PANCRAS.

Yesterday evening a numerous meeting of the Proprie-
tors of the houses, and the housekeepers themselves, of
Somers, Kentish, and Camden Towns, took place in Gee-
street, Clarendon-square, for the purpose of adopting the
best means of obtaining a more direct communication with
each of those towns, from the New-road and the neigh-
bourhood leading to it, than they now enjoy.
Mr. PATINOTON, who has been entrusted with the pre-
paration of the plans, briefly stated the object of the meet-
ing, and laid the plans ,of the intended roads before them,
which, after u lengthened discussion, were adopted. The
proposed line of road will be through Seymour-street,
Euston-square, to Camden-town ; and to Kentish-town,
through Union-street, New-road. The former proposal
was received with high approbation, inasmuch as it will
then complete the direct line of street from Covent-garden
to this outlet of the town.

Previously to any fixed resolutions being adopted on the
subject, it was deemed most advisable that a general
meeting should be convened by public advertisement, and
arrangements are making to that effect. A general docu-
ment, addressed to the Duke of Bedford, has been
most numerously signed by the resident-householders and
tradeimen, among whom are many of the tenants of his
Grace, soliciting a co-operation on his part in the objects
of the meeting, and a Select Committee was appointed to
wait upon the Agents of the Duke with this document,
previously to the general meeting tak►ng place. Liberal
subscriptions were entered into to defray the expenses of
preparing the plans, advertisements, &c. 81c., in which the
Vestry of St. I'ancras, and the Clerical Gentlemen of
the neighbourhood, have consented to participate.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING, OCT. 10

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Our Market to-day has not been so lively as it was
the last week, nor do we believe that so much busi-
ness has been done ; we cannot, however, learn that
any alteration in prices has taken place for the worse.
Confidence appears to be gradually reviving, but it
will be a work of time to place business on a founda-
tion equally solid as that on which it was before the
late shock ; and, indeed, until this is the case, we
may reasonably expect occasional fluctuations in our
trade. The inquiry, however, for goods, continues
very fair, and prices keep creeping up. Yarns are
also in good request and sell freely. We have had a
better demand for cotton to-day, and the advance
which took place in Liverpool about ten days ago, has
been fully supported here.
