pound in theory. Nay, more, he has struck a new light
in the philosophy of rhetoric altogether, "beyond all
Greek, beyond all Roman fame." He has not only
given new and varied applications of Whately's
idea that action ought to precede words, but
be has reached the sublime discovery, that
action may be made so rhetorically efficacious,
as to dispense with any words at all Lord
Burleigh's shake of the head must henceforth rank
second, longo intervallo, to the Hon. Mr. Grantley
Berkeley's punch in the head. And he has this advan-
tage over former rhetorical theorists, that "he is himself
the great sublime he draws." His precepts have been
tested by experience. The Hon. Mr. Grantley Berkeley
has come forth, at this the eleventh hour, with a " De-
fence of the Game Laws." And we should be disposed to
concede to him, that, if all country gentlemen were of his
caltbre, they might be defended. Defended, that is to
say, de facto—withont too curious qnestion of de jure.
1 t is the nou-übiquity of Grantley Berkeleys that
creates the insufficiency of game-laws. " Qnand on
suit ce qu'on vent," says a French historian, "et qu'on
le vent vile et Lien. on l'obtieut toujours" The misehief
is, according to Mr. Grantley Berkeley, and we
quite agree with him—that all the world are not up
to his mark—that gamekeepers of his nerve and
muscle are not to be had for the money—that there is
only one Hercules to so many Caci ; and that Hercules
cannot get on, all the year round, without his club. Mr.
Grantley Berkeley is, therefore, like Mr. Newman, un-
willingly reduced to reason with opponents, from the
sheer impossibility of universal appliance in his own per-
son of that rhetorical action in the efficacy of which he
alone confides. But alas, like Mr. Newman, he
can have little hope of the (game-keeping) Church.
Grantley Berkeley's don't grow on every hedge,
and don't lurk in every thicket. If they did,
there is no doubt in the world every poacher would
find his match. Country gentlemen would abandon
the milksop idea of sleeping o' nights in their beds ; and
arouse themselves—not in Puseyite fashion for nocturne
or matins—but pro aris et focis (hares and foxes)—for
manful conflict with midnight prowlers for game, or
malicious foes of vermin. And the perfect gentle
knight, or! honourable, will find a most perfect
gentle pattern of all that be ought to be, and must be,
to preserve the Palladium of " a large head of game."
As Imlac convinced Rasselas that it was impossible to be
a poet, so Mr. Grantley Berkeley has all but convinced
us that it is impossible to be a game-preserver.
And this results from the irreceptivity in the game
keeping mind of right principles of 'rhetoric. If
these misguided men would but listen to Archbishop
Whately arid Mr. Grantley Berkeley ! " I never,''
said the former—we beg pardon, the latter —" shake
till I had struck, and then everybody else but two ran
away, simply because they did not know how many more
there were behind me to play at the same rough game.
However, talk to them as you will, teach them as you
may, keepers never can be made to adopt this simple and
humane plan, and that is the reason they get hurt."
" Here let me make a passing remark on a very great
error into ihich magistrates, as well as the public, are
apt to fall. ,They are quick to blame gamekeepers and
policemen, if a prisoner shows any marks of punish-
ment, there being no corresponding appearance of
blows on the persons of the captors. They are also
(especially the publie) sure to cry down as unnecessary
the use of handcuffs. Now, to speak in homely
downright old English phrase, there is nothing which
banishes an:inclination to commit murder or to be dan-
gerous, froni a brutal mind, half so much as a simple,
well directed ' punch in the head.' " All, or nearly all
murderers are cowards : the sight of their own blood
will prevent-their shedding the blood of others. A game-
keeper, or a constable, need not wait till he is struck ; if
he sees that! a blow is thought of, he is justified in strik-
ing, to prevent his being struck ; for if he stands still to
receive a;blow, the force of it may prkvent his fulfilling his
bounden duty. Let me ask the public, which is the truly
humane mah, he iwho, by a timely, but not a serious
blow, prevents an offender, whose custody the law
demands, from committing murder, or the man who,
from a false feeling, or from timidity, in any sense of
the word, refrains from stepping in to thwart malevo-
lence, and so permits the larger crime to be committed?
A little sharp and necessary severity does infinite ser-
vice ; it protects the servant of the law, and often saves
an offender, from plus ging body and soul into deeper
guilt. I api convinced that if there was more fighting
and fewer
men
on the part of those legally assailing
armed there would be infinitely fewer murders on
the face of the criminal returns." " I have been per-
sonally engaged," says the heroic Mr. Berkeley, " with
poachers in twenty-six instances, by night and day, and
always with success, having. made it a rule to be the first
to pky at the roughest game. The old adage—' that one
sword drawn keeps others in their scabbards,' would
apply well on all these occasions."

This Gallant Officer, who has been in the military
service of the country since November, 1779, when he
obtained his first commission, an Ensigncy in the 26th
Foot, died at his house in Ilertford-street, May-fair. on
Saturday, haring Leanly reached his 80th year, 65 of
which he had held the royal commission. He had held
the Colonelcy of the 13th Light Dragoons since 1811, and
the date of his commission as a General was May, 1825:
He was the ninth General in seniority in the service.
He was removed from tho Line to a Cornetey in the
19th Dragoons, and served as Aide-de-camp to his
father, the late General Earl Grey, at Plymouth, until
1783 ; he was also for some time, while in the 17th
Dragoons, Aide-de-camp to the Duke of Rutland, during
his Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland.
He served at the following places :—At the siege of
.Nieuport ; as DepUty-Quarter-Master-General in the
West Indies ; at the reduction of Martinique in 1794,
and on the staff at home as Assistant-Quarter-Master-
General until September, 1795, when he again went
out to the West Indies, in command of, his regi-
ment (the 18th Dragoons), with the expedition
under Sir Ralph Abercromby, and served at St.
Domingo, until April, 1787, when he came home with
the 17th Dragoons as its Lieut.-Colonel. Ile was
nominated Aide-de-camp to George HI. in 1798, and in
1805 Major-General. From this date he served on- the
staff in England until July, 1806, when he was appointed
Commander of the Forces at the Cape. He returned
home in 1811, and from that time to 1814 commanded a
district. In December; 1811, he got the Colonelcy of
the 13th Light Dragoons, which is of course at present
at the disposal of the. Horse Guards.
General Grey was also a member of the Consolidated
Board of General Officers.

STATE OF TRADE.

!From the Manchester Guardian.)

The market continues quite as firm and buoyant as it
was last week. For yarn, especially, the demand is very
good, and spinners find no difficulty in making
contracts for six weeks or two months to come, in
many cases st a trifling advance on the current rates of
last week. Goods are also generally in excellent demand,
and very scarce, with the exception of the better quali-
ties of 27-inch printing cloth, which are rather quiet,
though perfectly firm in price.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MuNDAY, JAN. 13.—To-
day is what is called the new or first market; but there has
been no extra quantity of business transacted. It is gene-
rally more a day of bringing in and settling of accounts,
than of buying and selling. The prices of flannels re-
main the same as last week, notwithstanding the raw
material continues to advance. The manufacturers are in
good spirits, and are expecting a further improvement in
trade this spring.

been deaf for some time, I was induced, in the mouth of No-
vember, 18.19, to make trial of your Invisible Voice Conductors,
and, although at my advanced age, at that time past any 77th
year, I had no hope of obtaining any relief, yet immediately I
applied them I could hear the general conversation, and my
hearing has become so much improved by their use, that I cam
now hear acutely without their aid. I am Gentlemen, your
most obedient servant, J. Sawyer. 22d am,

the late Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tewen Waters, Herta, to
Messrs, S. and. B. Solomons:—Geatlemen, having been deaf
for many years, I was induced to try your Invisible Voice
Conductors. They enable me to hear persons in company,
and at a ply.e of worship most distinctly. The Spectaeles and
Handglass which you have sent me are very excellent, and
suit my sight perfectly, the transparency of which is se bril-
liant, that although I have passed my 86th year the 22d of
May last, yet they enable me to read, and by candle-light, with
the greatest ease and comfort to myself. I return yeti my best
thanks, and remain your obedient servant, Henry Cowper.

cured by Holloway's Pills. There is also no doubt but
that they are a sovereign remedy, when taken, for any

THE BOY JONES IN GREECE—HIS VISIT TO TUB
PALACE OF KING OTHO.—The following is an extract
of a letter from an officer on board her Majesty's ship
Warspite, Smyrna, Dec. 23, 1844, to his friends in
England :—" The boy Jones, who belongs to this ship,
disappeared one nighrat Athens, and every one said he
was gone to call on King Otho. I believe that was his
intention, as he was found near the 'palace, and brought
back very much disappointed, to think that he could not
pay his intended visit. He is a strange-looking fellow,
appears half asleep, and seldom speaks to any one. It
is the custom to punish when a man deserts, but Jones
is put on the black list, and his grog stopped as long as
he remains in the ship."—Shipping Gazette..
THE FRENCH AT OTAIfEITE.—The communication.
of the King of the French was read at the meeting of
the Directors of the London Missionary Society last
night ; but the contents have not been allowed to tran-
spire, and we are-informed that it will not be determined
whether the document shall be published until the next
fortnightly meeting. The inference drawn from the de-
termination not to publish is, that the reply of the King
of the French is unfavourable.
SHOOTING ExTßaottrarran-r:—.Yesterday week,
shooting match of a very surprising character took place
at Bardsey;- hear Wetherby. Mr. Waite, of Burley,
snatched hiraelf to shoot 100 pigeons in 100
minutes for a wager of 100 guineas ;" to have
two traps and four double-barrelled guns, and fifteen
yards rise. Instead of occupying 100 minutes, the
match closed in favour of Mr. Waite in the short space of
48 minutes, being 52 minutes under the time. 125 birds
rose from the traps ; of these .14/3 fell within 60 yards,
the distance stipulate, 13 fell out of that distance, and
9 got away, missed, or slightly hurt. We understand
that soon after the match commenced, Mr. Waite offered
to kill 100 birds within 60 minutes. It is said that he
cleared by the match about acoi. He suffered some-
what severely from the great physical exertion required
in accomplishing this task and the recoil of the guns.—

make their terminus in Victoria Park, close to which

probation of the Board of Trade, we hope, in the course
of a few months. to see both of them commenced.

ADMIRALTY COURT, Jan. 14.
THE VENERABLE—COLLISION.
This was an action by the owners of the brig New-
castle Trader, against the barque Venerable, to recover
for damages suffered by the brig in a collision between
the two vessels in the night of the 11th of July last.
The brig was of 79 tons, coal laden, bound from Middle-
borough to Rouen. The barque was of 379 tons, and'
was proceeding to Hull from a voyage from North
America. The wind was west-north-west, or west-by-
north. The brig had the wind free, and was coming out
of Hasleborough Gap, when the barque, which was close
hauled on the larboard tack, on a course north half west,
was reaching to the north. The case of the brig was,
that, on seeing the Venerable, she kept to windward, in
order to go under the barque's stern (having the wind
free, it was at her option to go to windward or to lee-
ward), supposing that the brig would keep her reach ;
but, instead, the helm of the Venerable was" put down,
and she shot into the brig's larboard quarter.
After hearing Dr. Addams and Dr. Curteis in support
of the case, without hearing Dr. Bayford and Dr. H. J.
Nicholl for the Venerable,-
Dr.•LUSHINGTON said that the two gentlemen from
the Trinity-house (who assisted the Court upon the
nautical points) concurred with him in opinion, that the
brig had been in the wrong throughout the whole pro-
ceedings, and therefore he dismissed the action with costs.
THE MONKWEARMOUTII.—SALVAGE.
This was an action by the owners of the Stockton
steam-tug, for a remuneration fur salvage services ren-
dered to the brig Monkwearmouth, bound from Hartle-
pool to Bayonne, which had suffered damage in her sails
and rigging, and was seen in that state by the Stockton,
about a mile from the Tees bar, on the afternoon of the
4th of March, the wind blowing (according to the
salvors) a heavy gale from the east to the east-north-east,
with a heavy sea. The tug proceeded to her assistance,
and towed her into the Tees. The value of the brig was
1,0001., that of the cargo (coals) being small. A tender
of 301. was refused, as insufficient with reference to the
risk of the vessel and the merits of the salvors.
After hearing Dr. Addams for the salvors, and Dr. R.
Philiimore for the owners.
Dr. Lu SHINGTON held that the tender, under the cir-

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 14.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FAxx.) -
THE WESTMINSTER LOAN SOCIETY.—C. KNART NICHOLL'S
BANKRUPTCY.
The bankrupt in this case had been the manager and
secretary of the above notorious concern, and, on it
breaking up, became bankrupt. His. case has been the
sebject of protracted inquiry in the Court, and his final
examination was adjourned from time to time. He came
up to-day for his adjourned final examination.
Mr. Sturgeon appeared for the bankrupt ; and Mr.
Lloyd, solicitor, attended on behalf of several creditors.
The amended balance-sheet, on being submitted to the
Court, exhibited a total o: debts and liabilities to the
amount of 15,896/. 13s. 4d.; to meet which a sum of 251.
only had been given up to the assignees, the rest of the
deficiency being made up of liabilities, bad debts, and
law expenses.
The bankrupt, on beingexamined by Mr. Lloyd, stated
that he was the original founder of the bank, which con-
sisted of twenty-four partners, one of whom, Sir William
Dugdale, had since made off with 500/. lie admitted
having sworn at Croydon Assizes, in March last, that
he was a gentleman, and perfectly solvent. He believed
that to be the case, but not that he was able to satisfy all
the creditors of the bank. He had received 845/. in
March last, a legacy from his uncle.
Being examined by Mr. Sturgeon, he said that he
commenced the Westminster Loan Bank with a capital
of 5001., which he received from various branches of his
family. That had all gone- in the common ruin. His
position was that of manager of the bank, Cornelius
O'Brien, M.P., being chairman. He declared solemnly
to God that more than 200,0001. had passed through the
bank in two years, and the final deficiency was only
3,0001. The bank was broken up by the attacks of the
press, which he withstood for five months, but was
obliged to give way at last. His private debts did not
exceed 1501.
Mr. Sturgeon having been heard for the bankrupt,
His HONOUR said, that the accounts were most extra-
ordinary and unsatisfactory. He should adjourn the
examination sine die, and without one day, one hour, of
protection.
The bankrupt, on leaving the box, exclaimed, " I am
the most fearful victim that ever left this Court."
Several victims of the. Westminster Loan Society were
present, and seemed to take a deep interest in the pro-
ceedings.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Yesterday William Flood, the brother of Noah Flood,
who lately committed suicide in Whitecross-street,
leav-
ieg an orphan daughter, nine years old, again appeared
before the magistrate to claim possession of the child, or
at least to have 6/., which he had expended while staying
in London to prosecute his claim to his brother's effects,
repaid to him.
Scott, the City policemen, said he had also expended
money, but he was content that the money should be
wholly invested for the benefit of the child.
Mr. Alderman FARNCOMBE thought this was completely
arranged on Saturday, and that the applicant had re-
turned home.
The applicant asked if the Alderman would not let
him have a bit of the stuff (cash)?
Mr. Alderman FAUNCOMBE said " Not a bit."
The applicant said he was in a pretty state, as he had
spent all his cash.
- The ALDERMAN replied, this showed the 'poor child's
money would have been in a pretty state if it had fallen
into his keeping.
The applicant then asked for his brother's watch, but
the Alderman refused to give it up, and the applicant
retired, much chagrined.
BOW-STREET.
Yesterday a man named Dennis George Connell was
charged with defrauding Mr. Davenport, of the Olympic
Theatre, by using and distributing false checks, or
tickets of admission to the gallery of that establishment.
The circumstances which led to the present• charge
were somewhat unusual. The prisoner had been em-
ployed originally as a painter, and afterwards as a ge-
neral workman in the theatre. While in this capacity
ho had met with some loose checks, which ho turned to
account by presenting them to his friends, with a caution
to avoid the money-taker. On the 6th of January, the
discrepancy between the treasurer's cash account and
the number of checks taken the same evening, led to an
investigation by Mr. Silvester, the cashier, who caused
the prisoner to be taken to Bow-street, and on the fol-
lowing morning (the 7th) he was placed at the bar to
answer the charge. But no one appeared against him,
and he was therefore discharged ; the proprietary of the
theatre having in fact declined to go on with the pro•
secution. The prisoner's case was then taken up by an
attorney,' who commenced an action against the prose-
cutor for instituting a false charge, &c., whereupon the
latter turned round, took the man again into custody,
and now attended with his witnesses to proceed with
the case.
The evidence went simply to show the possession of
the checks by the prisoner, and their being tendered
by parties who said they had received them from
him, and
Mr. JARDINE, after some little hesitation, arising from
an inquiry into the above circumstances, committed him
for trial at the Middlesex Sessions.
MARYLEBONE.
Yesterday, shortly after the disposal of the night
charges, a woman named Rester Anne Bates attended
at this Court, accompanied by her son, a boy about 13
years of age, when she made a statement to the effect
that her son had for some time been employed to clean
knives, shoes, &c., by Mrs. Emily Grattan, a lady re
siding at 15, St. John's Wood-road, and that his said
mistress had pulled him on to the bed in her chamber,
and there induced him to submit to her unlawful desires.
The MAGISTRATE, after listening to all that had been
stated, and receiving replies to numerous questions put,
by him, came to the conclusion that the case was one in
which he could not interfere, and the, mother and her son
then went away.
At about three in the afternoon Mrs. Grattan was
driven up to the front entrance of the Court in her car-
riage, and on alighting therefrom and proceeding into
the justice-room, the woman Bates was placed at the
bar, charged with having, soon after her application as
before given had been disposed of, created a disturb-
ance at Mrs. Grattan's dwelling, and also with having
sent letters to her (Mrs. Grattan) with the view of ex-
torting money.
Mrs. Grattan and Mary Cliff, her cook, proved the
disturbance in question, and the former handed 0 the
magistrate some letters which she bad received fe•om the
prisoner ; they were couched in such terms as to lead to
an inference, taking all the circumstances into consider•,
ation, that money was the grand object sought for. The
boy had, it appeared, been dismissed from his employ-
ment a week or two ago.
Police-constable Maddox, of the S division, produced
a letter which was found upon the prisouer when searched
at the station-house. It ran thus :
" It is with shame and disgust I sit down to inform
you that at last I am fully acquainted with the most
disgraceful connexion, if I may so call it, between my
child and yourself. Little did the transport's sister think
when she heard her boy speak of the kindness of his
mistress, the price that was paid for that kindness ; little
did she think that her child, not thirteen years old,
would be a bedfellow to his mistress. Little does his
Lordship know that the time when he asked admission
to his bed-room, my child was there. You may make
what you lil e of this."
Mr. RAWLINOON (to Mrs. Grattan)—Who do you
imagine is meant by "his Lordship ?" Mrs. Grattan—
No doubt the Count Bathyany.
The most positive• denial was given with regard to the
disreputable allegation as affecting Mrs. Grattan, and
the prisoner was ordered to find good bail fur keeping
the peace.

WORSHIP-STREET.
Yesterday Richard Duren, a stout-built fellow, was
charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing a large teunk
full of wearing apparel and other articles, the property
of a tradesman named Rose, residing in Edward-street,
Bethnal•green.
It appeared from the evidence, that between eleven
and twelve o'clock that day, as the wife of the prosoctor
was sitting with her mother in her back parlour, they
heard a Aran° kind of noise in tie adjoining room,

the sergeant in his apprehension.
Policeman Kersey, 112 K, proved having carefully
examined the prosecutor's house, and that there were no
external marks denoting a forcible entry, while on
searching the lower part of the premises he discovered
and now produced a chisel, which exactly fitted the in-
dentations in the front of the drawer from which the
stolen property had been abstracted.
In answer to the charge, Mr. Pelham, who attended
for the prisoner, submitted that not a tittle of the evi-
dence which had been produced inculpated his client, and
claimed his discharge. He had a number of highly re-
spsctable witnes,es in Court, who had known the pri-
soner fur many years, and who would not only bear
testimony to his irreproachable character, but also be-
come bail for him to any amount, if the Magistrate
thought it a case even for securities.
The MAGISTRATE said, that this was not a question of
character at all, but one of facts, and the evidence ad-
duced presented a case of strung suspicion against the
prisoner. He would, however, consent to admit him to
bail, which must be, the prisoner himself in 80L, and
two responsible sureties in 40/. each.

SUTHWARK.
Yesterday Isabella Ludhum was brought before Mr.
Trail!, charged with robbing the captain of a vessel
called the Sir Robert Sale, lying in St. Katharine
Docks, of a watch and guard, together with a gold pin
and a cloak ; and William Simms, a man in business,
with whom she cohabited, was charged as an accessary
aftsr the fact.
It appeared that on the night of the 27th ult. the cap-
tain of the Sir Robert Sale was induced to accompany
the female prisoner to a house of ill-fame, in Herbert's-
buildings, Lambeth. When he awoke in the morning
he found his companion had gone off, :taking with her
the articles above specified, although he took the pre-
caution of deposting his watch, which was a valuable
oue, underneath the pillow. Having given a description
of the prisoner at the station-house, she was taken into
custody, brought before the magistrate at Union-hall,
but was ultimately discharged, in consequence of none
of the stolen property being traced. Nothing more was
heard of the charge until the preceding night, when the
whole of the facts attending the robbery were brought to
light owing to the accidental circumstance of a serious
quarrel between the two persons in custody, which will
be gathered from the subjoined account.
Policeman 33 B stated, that on the preceding night at
a late hour, while on duty in Tothill- street, Westmin-
ster, his attention was arrested by hearing a violent
quarrel between the prisoners, and on his approaching,
the man Simms immediately accused the woman with
having robbed the captain of an Indiamati, and insisted
upon giving her into custody. The parties were then
taken to the station-house, where Simms reiterated the
charge against his fellow prisoner, and entered minutely
into all the details of the robbery. and also described
where the stolen articles were pledged. The woman
against whom the charge was made did not attempt to
deny the truth of all that had been uttered against her,
and declared that she was the victim of the man who had
divulged the robbery ; that it was owing to his persua-
sions she committed it, and that having shared in the
plunder he afterwards betrayed her. The policeman
added that both the prisoners were detained at the
station-house.
Mr. Thaws here directed Simms to be released from
the bar and to ascend the witness-box, in order to give
his evidence. He stated that he was a plasterer by
trade, and lived at No. 1, Catherine-court, near the
Cloisters, Westminster, and that the prisoner had been
under his protection tor a considerable time.
He was here asked if he had any charge to make
against the accused, and he replied in the affirmative,
and then proceeded to state that at an early hour on the
morning of the 28th ult. she returned home, and on
entering the room where he was waiting her arrival she
immediately produced a watch, gold pin, and a gold
guard, and also a cloth cloak, and said that she had
robbed a captain of a vessel while he was asleep. Simms
went on further to state that the articles in question
were subsequently pledged by the prisoner, and he men-
tioned the names of the pawnbrokers with whom she had
deposited them. He added, that she had pledged the
articles herself, and that lie had no hand in it ; that they
had quarrelled the night before, and that he determined
on divulging the circumstances, and accordingly did so,
and was surprised that after such a disclosure as he had
made it should have been deemed requisite to take him
into custody.
Mr. TRAILL (to the prisoner)—You have heard what
this man has stated : have you anything to say ?
The prisoner, who is an extremely well-looking young
woman, said that now matters had assumed the aspect
they did she had no intention of denying the accusation
made against her that day by the man of all others who
was the last who ought to have betrayed her. That in
order to support him in comfort she had become a pros-
titute, and he knew it well. 'That on the very night she
robbed the captain of the vessel before she left home
Simms, addressing her, desired her to go out, threaten-
ing to beat her if she returned without money or money's
worth ; that he told her to pick up the first well-dressed
man she met, and that when he was asleep in the house
where she took him that she could then rob him of all
he had about him, and leave the house. She added that
she was now aware that she was wrong for adopting that
advice, but still she confessed she did it ; and she
solemnly protested that the man to whom she had fallen
a victim had accompanied her to the pawnbrokers',
waiting outside while she went in and pledged the stolen
articles, she giving him the greater portion of the money
raised upon them.
Simms, however, denied the latter assertion, and said
that he was always willing to support the prisoner, but
that her love of dress and company was her ruin.
Mr. TRAILL asked Sitnms why he had kept the secret
of the robbery for 10 days, and now came forward to
appear against the accused ?
Simms, in reply, said that he was only influenced by a
sense of justice in the case. That when he first threat-
ened to divulge the circumstances attending the robbery
the prisoner declared that if he did she would try all
she could to traesport him, but that having had
some high words with her on the preceding night
he thought it a very fit opportunity for disclosing
the facts.
'The captain of the Sir Robert Sale, who was in attend-
ance, having been apprised of the apprehension of the
prisoner, identified her as the person whom he accom-
panied to the house in Herbert's-buildings, and de-
scribed the circumstances of the robbery, and of his
having missed her from his side on the morni:g it was
committed.
The prisoner, who seemed to be much affected at
the situation in which she was placed, was then re
manded.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 14.—The St. Vincent, 120, Capt.
Rowley, undocked on Saturday, was brought under the
shears for masting this day.
The Mercury tender arrived from Devonport with
hands for the vessels fitting out here on the 11th.
The Britanuia, 120, advanced ship, was taken into
dock yesterday. to be completed as an entirely advanced
ship. She will be coppered up to her bends.
The Pelican, 16, Commander Justice, arrived last
evening at Spithead from Singapore, with spccio to the
amount of about 250,0001. on board. She sprung a leak
soon after starting from Singapore, and transhipped two-
thirds of her valuable freight on board the Harlequin,
which arrived safe on Sunday. The Pelican came
through the Needles, and in coming up from the west-
ward with a light wind she went too close in shore, it
being low water, and tailed on the Kicker-point, be-
tween Fort Monckton and Stoke's-bay ; she immediately
commenced firing minute guns, as signals of distress,
and sent up several rockets, but which, however, wore
not answered for upwards of an hour, when, we be-
lieve, the Victory answered the signal, and dispatched
the Comet steamer t 6) her assistance. The grounding
of the Pelican occurred about a quarter-past eight
o'clock, and assistance from the harbour did not arrive
until near eleven! The circumstance of signal guns
firing on a fine calm night, at such an hour, excited the
utmost consternation in the town, and the ramparts were
quickly thronged with spectators, anxious to ascertain
the cause of their unseasonable disturbance. The first
who put off to the assistance of the stranded vessel was
Lieutenant Grandy, of the coast-guard station, Block-
house, who, with his boat's crew, quickly got alongside
the distressed vessel, and, soon after, the Comet steam-
vessel, Lieutpnant-Commander Pretymah, with a dock.
