NEW COURT

(Before the RECORDER and Alderman IkonEs.)

. ~
Sarah Diprose was charged with hating stolen a table.
cloth and other articles, the property of Mr. J. Clay.
worth, her master.

Mr. Doane conducted the case for the prisoner.
The prisoner, it appeared, had been employed on va-
rious occasions by the prosecutor in the capacity of char-
woman, and that whilst so engaged she had access to va-
rious parts of his dwelling, in which property of consi-
derable value was kept. After she had been in his ser-
vice for some time, several articles were missed, and sus-
picion fell upon the prisoner, and on a search being made
duplicates were found which led to the discovery of the
stolen property.
A pawnbroker produced the stolen articles, which were
identified by Mrs. Clayworth as her husband's property.
She missed them while the prisoner was in her house.
The RECORDER summed up, and the jury found the
prisoner Guilty.
There was another charge against her of stealing linen
from another eraployer, but she was not tried upon that
indictment.

It appeared that the prisoner had been previously con-
victed of felony, and had been tried and convicted in this
Court.ibis was proved by a certificate, which stated
that in May, 1841, she was convicted in this Court, and
sentenced to seven years' transporiation by his Lordship.
The REconnEn inquired how it was that that sen-
tence had not been carried out ?

The gaoler said that, after having been confined for
the period of three years, in the Millbank Penitentiary,
she was liberated by the Secretary of State for the
Home Department in May last.

The RECORDER, in pass-ing sentence upon the prisoner,
told her that she had abused the lenity which had been
shown t) her by that high quarter, and that there was
no hope of reforming her in this country ; the sentence
of the Court, therefore, was, that she be transported
beyond the seas for ten years.

REPRESENTATION
MOUTH.

OF DART-

DARTMOUTII, FRIDAY.—Both Mr. Somes and Mr.
Moffatt have returned here to complete thir canvass. As
the day of election approaches, both the candidates ap-
pear confident of success, and each gives out that the re-
sult of his canvass leaves his return beyond a dcubt.
The constituency of the borough does not, after deduct-
ing deaths and removals, exceed 250. Of these not more
than 235 are expected to vote; and both parties state
that they have more than half that number of votes pro-
mised them. There is no doubt, whichever party may
gain the day, it will be a small majority only.
At a meeting of Mr. Moffatt's friends, which took
place on Thursday evening, a correspondence between
the Vicar of Dartmouth and the Chairman of Mr.
Moffatt's Committee was read, in which the former gen-
tleman declared that " he could not allow the church
bells to be rung for any election matter in which that
gentleman might be concerned, if Mr. Moffatt, intended
to vote against church-rates;" and the latter replied that
" Mr. Moffatt could not be in favour of the continuance
of a payment which presses hard upon those who differ
conscientiously from the tenets of the Established
Church. At the same time we must be allowed to ob-
serve, that we cannot understand how you can be justi-
fied in making a coincidence with your own sentiments
a necessary condition for a service which is, on these
occasions, invariably given to either candidate without
reference to the party to which he may happen to
belong."
Mr. MOFFATT, in the course of his speech, "pledged
himself to that meeting, in the event of his being re•.
turned to Parliament as their representative, to do every-
thing in his power to obtain the speedy abolition of this
obnoxious impost.—(Cheers.) Mr. Moffatt in the course
of his address ably advocated the principles of free trade,
as did also the Chairman of his Committee. His is
the good cause, and he has every probability of suc-
ceeding.

BATH AND WEST OF ENGLAND SOCIETY.—The
Marquis of Lansdowne has offered two premiums of 501.
each for the most improved system of draining on a farm
of not less than 100 acres, of which not less than 15 acres
shall have been thorough drained.

MISOII.I6.LANVIOI7II.

At a meeting of Middlesex Magistrates, held at the
Sessions House on Thursday, Mr. Pownall was elected
Chairman in the room of Mr. Sergeant Adams, resigned.
A ballot took place, as Mr. Rotch was also put in nomi-
nation, when the numbers were—For Mr. Pownall, 70 ;
and for Mr. Rotch, 25.

The recent decease of the lion. Robert Otway Cave,
without issue, will cause the right to the Barony of Braye
to devolve, after the present Baroness, upon her four
daughters, amongst whom it will be in abeyance, her
Majesty having, by letters patent, limited the same to the
present Baroness and the heirs male of her body.

On Wednesday night some gentlemen who Were pre-
sent at Drury-lane Theatre, and made acquainted with
the praiseworthy conduct of M'Carthy on Saturday
night last, at the late dreadful catastrophe, raised a pri-
vate subscription among themselves for the poor fellow's
relief,'•which amounted to upwards of 101.
On Sunday, the Bth, and last Sunday, the 15th inst.,
sermons were preached in the churches of Tottenham
parish, in aid of the funds of one of the parochial schools,
when the amount received was 51/. In 1843 it was 70L,
and in 1842 71/. 9s. Such are the blessings of Puseyism.
The Lord Bishop of St-Asaph has distributed clothing
to upwards of 400 poor families in St. Asaph and the
neighbourhood, and is giving food daily to those who
are in need.

The Regalia were removed a short time since to
Messrs. Garrard's, the Crown jewellers, in the Hay-
market, for safe custody, while the necessary works
were going on in the new fire-proofapartment,which has
been constructed expressly for them in the Tower. On
Tuesday last they were removed from the premises of
Messrs. Garrard to the Tower. The public are now ad-
mitted to view them as usual.

This day, being St. Thomas's-day, the usual ward
motes will be held in the various City wards for the
election of Common Councilmen for the ensuing year.
Most of the wards will be represented by the same Com-
mon Councilmen. The wards that will be contested are
Portsoken, Cripplegate Within, and Farringdon
Without.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTILATES.—A spe-
cial meeting of justices of the county of Middlesex took
place on Thursday, for the election of a chairman, at the
Sessions-house, Clerkenwell•green. There was a very
numerous attendance of magistrates. Mr. Tulk took
the chair. The two candidates put in nomination were
Mr. Pownall and Mr. Rotch. The first was proposed
by Mr. Wilks, seconded by Mr. Walesby ; and the last-
named gentleman was proposed by Captain Bague and
seconded by Mr. Whiskin. The ballot commenced
shortly after twelve o'clock, and terminated at three
,'clock, when the scrutineers, Mr. Witham and Mr.
Orm, announced the result, namely :—For Mr. Pownall,
70; and for Mr. Rotch, 25. Mr. Pownall was accord-
ingly declared duly elected.

DUTCH MAIL.

LUXEMBURG, AUG. 31.--llis 'Majesty the King of
the Netherlands, Grand Duke of Luxemburg, by a
resolution of the 18th of this month, having con-
, sidered the sentences passed in the month of February,
1833, by the Court of Assize of the Grand Duchy on
several persons at that time holding public offices,
who had left the Government of the Netherlands and
gone over to that of Belgium, has granted to all such
persons full and entire amnesty in respect to those
sentences, which are declared to be null and void.
BERLIN, AUG. 30.—From the latest accounts from
St. Petersburgh, it seems doubtful whether the
Emperor Nicholas and Empress will come to Berlin
this year, as was expected, since the Imperial family
means to pass a strict seclusion during the three months'
deep mourning for the Grand Duchess Alexandria, and
after the expiration of that time, the bad weather
which generally sets in at that season will not allow
the Empress, whose health is not strong, to undertake
so long a journey.
THE HAGUE, SEPT s.—llis Majesty the King re-
turned from Weimar yesterday.
SEPT. 6.—Our readers will recollect by the regu-
lation of the American tariff in 1842, while Java
coffee can be imported wholly free from duty into the
United States, when brought in American ships from
Java direct, coffee imported from the Netherlands is
charged with a duty of 20 per cent. Our Govern-
ment has succeeded in obtaining the reimbursement
of the duty paid since tbe 31st of August, 1842,
with an order that Coffee imported from the Nether-
lands in Netherland ships, 'shall enjoy the same ex-
emption from duty as was given by the tariff of 1842
to American ships exclusively coming from the places
of production.
The day before yesterday there was a meeting of
Spanish bondholders at Amsterdam, at which M.
Lipman, advocate, presided. After some discussion,
the following gentlemen were chosen for the commit.
tee for attending to the interests of the holders :
Messrs. A. B. Roothuan, Louis Drucker, S. de J.
Teinera de Mattos, J.Westheim, and J. M. Kirkhoven.
M. Drucker read a letter from M. Mauguin, Mem-
ber of the French Chamber of Deputies, in which he
announces that he will come to Amsterdam in a few
days to communicate with the holders of Spanish
bonds, and to determine on the measures to be taken
for their interest.

STEYNING, SEPT. 6.—The harvest in this neigh-
bourhood may now be considered as closed. The wheats
have been housed in excellent condition, and prove one
of the finest crops, both as to quality and quantity, ever
known. The barley and oats are not so good ; but far
better than was expected.—Brightozi Herald.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 6.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.)
K. T. WHITNARSECS BANKRUPTCY.

The bankrupt was an hotel keeper, having one esta-
blishment at Blackheath, and another in George-street,
Hanover-squara. his debts and liabilities are said to be
between 7,0001. and 1,0001., and his assets depend much
upon the realisation of furniture, ke.—the fitting up of
the hotels.

An inquiry was entered into relative to plate and fur-
Diture, but nothing of importance was elicited ; but an
adjournment of his last examination for one week was
allowed to institute further investigation if it were
thought necessary.

ANOTHER CLONTARF MEETING.

God, THAT THEY WOULD HAVE IT ON THE BTH OF
NEXT MONTH.

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN DUBLIN.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY NIGHT.—The burst of popular
enthusiasm and joy that issued forth was the most
heartfelt and boisterous display of the gladness of the
Irish heart that ever was heard within the city of
Dublin.

Mr. Purdon, at the request of Mr. O'Connell, rid-
dressed the crowd outside the gaol, and requested
them to disperse quietly, which they did.
Soon after dark tar barrels were set on fire at
Irishtown and Ringsend, amid the rejoicings of the
peasantry. At Rathfarnham and Roundtown the
cottages were illuminated, and as the news spread the
fires became more frequent. A bonfire was also
lighted in Roper's Rest, round which the inhabitants
—men, women, and children—danced with genuine
Irish animation.

With the rapidity of lightning the intelligence of
the judgment traversed all parts of the city—con-
temporaneously with the proceedings of Burgh-quay,
large bodies of the citizens had congregated in the
neighbourhood of the Liberator's residence, Merrion-
square, anxious to give vent to the feelings of grate-
ful joy which actuated all classes. Here, too, the
cheering was most enthusiastic—each man seemed
determined to outvie his neighbour in demonstrations
of attachment to their " deliverer and friend"—and
here, too, the vast multitudes, after a short time,
quietly dispersed.
From Merrion-square to Stephen's-green, and
through Grafton-street, the same enthusiasm was
observable. At every corner placards were posted
announcing the reversal of the judgment; and at
every corner the popular joy was embodied in loud
and hearty cheers.
What we have stated in reference to the other
localities is applicable to Dame-street. Several men
paraded the street, bearing on their shoulders placards
similar to those already described. The cheering of
the populace here lost nothing of the vigour which
marked it on Burgh-quay.
A new feature was given to the national rejoicing
in Capel-street. The majority of the houses were
brilliantly illuminated. In Mary-street, Bolton-
street, North King-street, &c., illumination was also
general, nor was there an absence of the other indi-
cations of triumph in these places.

TELEGRAPIIIC DISPATCH : •

THE CONSUL OF FRANCE AT MALTA TO Tllll

MINISTER FOR FOREIGN ♦FFAIRS.

MALTA, SEr T. 4.
The Indian mail, which has been expected here for
eight days past, has arrived this morning, having
left Bombay on the 19th of July. It contains only
the news of a mutiny in a Bengal regiment, and of
the loss of about 80 reapers (or harvest men) and ir-
regular horse, surprised by the enemy near Shickar-
pore, and the expectation of a plentiful harvest in
consequence of the abundance of the monsoon rains.
Lord Ellenborough was waiting at Calcutta the
arrival of his successor.

On the 20th of May last, which is the latest date
from China, Sir Henry Pottinger was on the eve of
his departure for Bombay.

MOROCCO.—Accounts received, via Gibraltar, state
that another battle had taken place between the
French and the Moors, in which the former, falling
into an ambush, were defeated by Abd-el-Kader
with much loss.

We have to express our sincere thanks to the pro-
prietor of the London Sun, for transmitting to us a
copious report of the judgment; and also to the pro-
' prietor of the Dublin Monitor for a bulletin containing
a brief summary of the same.—Londonderry Sentinel.
REVERSAL OF TIIE JUDGMENT OF THE QUEEN'S
BENCIL—The London Sun, of Wednesday evening, for
which we beg to tender our acknowledgments and best
thanks, brings us the early intelligence of the result of
the writ of error, in the House of Lords, on Wednesday
last ; that result will be found in our columns.—lVenagh
Guardian.
A daring burglary was committed in the dwelling-
house of Mr. Ge)rge Saltmarsh, of Moulsham, on Fr:day
morning last. The thieves forced open and entered the
kitchen window, and stole from the cellar two loaves of
home-baked bread and about 4lbs. of salt pork from the
tub; they then ransacked the front dwelling-room, open-
ing a bureau by means of false keys or pick-lock, keys,
pulling out all the drawers, from which they took two so-
vereigns, examined apparently all the papers and drawers
and scattered their contents on the floor, A pocket-book
also occupied their scrutiny, as, in their haste to exa-.
mine its contents they pulled out the leaves, and
strewed the memorandums about the house ; a tea-caddy
standing upon the bureau was emptied, thrown on the
floor, and 6d. in silver, and four penny pieces were taken
therefrom. A cupboard in the same room was examined,
and the spoons turned over,, but not being silver they
were left behind. They then unlocked the front door,
which they left wide open, and escaped with their booty.
Notwithstanding the vigilance of the police, not the least
trace has been discovered of these daring burglars.
They were heard of by one of the neighbours at the
bottom of the yard in the middle of the night, and one
of them said " Come on." It is supposed the thie'.es
must have been well acquainted with the premises, and
that they took their shoes off to prevent disturbing the
inmates.--Esser Herald.

MPERIAL PARLIAMENT

(THIS EVENING.)

H OUSE OF LORDS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack
shortly after Five o'Clock.
Lord KENYON presented several petitions against the
union of the sees of Bangor and St. Asaph.
Tho Bishop of HEREFORD presented several similar
petitions.
Lord PRUDHOE presented several petifions in favour of
the present corn-laws.
NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
Lord BROUGHAM said he had not had an opportunity,
owing to the state of the weather, to go over the new Houses
of Parliament, and therefore he should po tpone the question
of which he had given notice respecting them, to a future day.
Lord LILFORD postponed the presentation of a petition
from certain hand-loom weavers, to Monday the 18th of March.
DISSENTING CHAPELS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table a Bill for
regulating suits relating to chapels and other property held by
persons dissenting from the Church of England. The object
of the Bill was to remove certain hardships under which Dis-
senters laboured with respect to their chapels and burial-
grounds.
Lord BROUGHAM said he would not present a petition on
this subject to-morrow which had been intrusted to him, if it
was intended that this Bill should extend to Ireland.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he should, on the second
reading of the Bill, state fully its objects, and he should then
propose that the Bill should be referred to a Select Committee.
He thought, therefore, that it would be better for the Noble
and Learned Lord to present his petition, and then move that
it be referred to the same Select Committee.
Lord BROUGHAM said he would take that course.
FEES TO CLERKS OF THE PEACE.

The l‘larquis of LANSDOWNE gave notice that he should,
to-morrow, move for a return of fees paid to clerks of the
peace, and to clerks in petty sessions, in England and Wales.
PRIN V COUNCIL BILL. . .

Lord BROUGHAM gave notice that, to-morrow, he should
move the second reading of the Privy Council Bill, with a view
to its being referred to a Select Committee.
The House then adjourned.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
tlubltt Optitton,

" Who runs may read."

rozazzaN.

The Gazette de France says :—" Letters have been received of
the 25th ult. from Goritz, which are very alarming. The physi.
cians of Goritz, however, believed, contrary to the opinion of those
of Padua, that there were still some hopes of saving the Duke
d'Angouleme. On the 23d the august patient had the last sacra.
ment administered to him with great pomp by the Archbishop."
The Seine again rose on Monday, its waters being half a metre
higher than on Sunday. It has now reached the height of six
metres sixty centimetres, the greatest elevation for the last twenty-
five years at this period of the year. The Plain of Grenelle is
covered over, and the ground floor of many houses at Bercy have
three feet of water in them. Boats pass over the quay as if in the
centre of the river. The road between the Barriere de la Gare and
the Bridge of la Bosse de-Marne is entirely under water.
Further and somewhat different details of the circumstances at.
tending the murder of Mr. Ward, in the Rue de Londres, are in
circulation. According to thee, the discovery was made on Thurs.
day evening by the servant, who, on going in between seven and
eight o'clock, found the body of his master lying near the door of
the saloon. A sort of collation had been laid out for two persons,
of which the servant knew nothing previously. The murder was
followed by robbery, as the secretary had been opened, and the
papers were in perfect disorder.
By a reeent decision of the Hungarian Deputies, the Diet is to
be held in future at Pesth, instead of Presburg.
The Emperor of Russia has issued a ukase fixing the salaries to
be paid to the clergy in the western provinces of the empire. The
priests of the first class are to receive 600 silver roubles (about
1001.) per annum, those of the second class 500, third class 400,
fourth 275, and fifth 230. _ _

IMPORTANCE OF THE LINE.

It will be perceived that the line now'proposcd, from Paris to Stras-
burg, visaing through Meaux, Chalons, and Nancy, must establish
an International Communication, traversing the richest and most
industrious provinces of France, and commercially -uniting England,
by the port of Havre and the Freach metropolis, with Austria, Ba-
varia, the manufacturing province of .Alsace, Switzerland, and the
Rhine ; bringing into readier and closer intercourse, not only France
and Germany, but Great Britain and the whole Continent, the city
of Strasburg being already the point of departure for travellers from
and to the Germanic Provinces; and the point to which the national
railwayi of GernianY are intended to converge.
