LAM BETILSTREET.

BAn INGRATITUDE.—Yesterday a seaman named Henry
Nathan was brought up from Portsmouth, in custody of Leg-
get, a constable of that place, charged with having stolen from
Affixes Bryst; an Isrealite, riding in Stoney-lane, a watch
and four sovereigns.

„•
From the statement of the prosecutor it appeared, that on
Wednesday week he met the prisoner, who had just landed
from the Repulse Indiaman, in a state ofi intoxication, and tttit
ing pity, from having knoWn him formerly, and finding that he
was completely destitute, having been robbed while under the
influence of inebriety, he took tutu into his house, and support-
ed him at his own expellee until Saturday last, when he ab-
scOnded while the prosecutor was asleep, and stole from off' his
table a watch, and four sovereigns out of his pocket. On miss-
ing them he made inquiries, and ascertained that the prisoner
had gone to Portsmouth, whither he followed and had him taken
into custody.
The officer, on searching him, found the duplicate-of
.the
watch, which had been pledged in Portsmouth, and which, on
its being produced by the pawnbroker (who was present, and
proved that the prisoner was the person who made the pledge),
was identified by the prosecutor us his property.
The prisoner denied his guilt, anti was about to be fully com-
mitted, when it was discovered that the robbery had taken place
in the city; whither he was immediately transferred.

CONSEQUENCES OF 'P•ICE M It AT BROMLEY.—Ca-
/habit! M'Carthy and Catherine Maloney, were brought from
Bromley, the scene of the late melancholy catastrophe, charged,
the first with having threatened to take away the life of Margaret
Dodd, one of the witnesses on the prosecution of the Carthys,
who were convicted of manslaughter, at the- present Sessions at
the old Bailey, and the other with having made similar threats
towards Hannah Burke.

The Magistrates commented on the very improper and cri
urinal conduct of the prisoners' and ordered them to enter into
regcognances, of the solvency of which they were to give twenty-
four hours notice to appear at the next session, and keep the
peace fur three calendar months.

SOCIETY FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF
MENDICITY,

Yesti,rility the subserilrers rind friends to 1,1114
Institution held their eightli-Stimial Meeting, at the Freon*.
sons"favern, Great Queen.:street. The /tight Honourable
the Earl of Iliabwicau in the chair.—There were-also re-
sent, Lords Rolle, Calthorpe, Dudley and Ward, De la
Gagi, Licutenant-Getieral Thorntoo, General Neville, Sir
James 'Anglian), Hart., Hon. Captain Bowles, SiUTIVeI
Crompton' 'Esq., ALP.. and seieral others.
The noble Cual 'lmam opened the business of the Aleeting
by calling on the Hon. Secretary, al r. W. If. Bodkin, to read
the report ofthe raft year.
The Committee, after briefly adierting to the progress of
the Society, submitted a summary statement of regihtere4
cases which had come under their cognizance, amounting it;
all to 1,090, comprising natives of almost every country in the
habitable globe, the great majority. of whom were either pro-.
vided for through the means of the Society, or referred .to
their parishes anti 405 were rejected as impostors and eon.
firmed vitgrante, 1915 of whom were ordered to be prose..
wed. Theeeport theti adVerted to the increased demands
upon the iniitlttion, and regretted that the income of the last
year' had so greatly declined, that it did not keep up with
the ettlie9diture. The Committee had therefore been com-
pelled to ericroach on the capital first subscribed, but did not
think themselves justified: in so doing, without having laid
before the public a statement of the case. In this statement,
which was circulated on the Oth of 151archl the objects of the
Institution were explained under three distinct licads—naniely,
First, for atibrding relief to mendicants, who appear, upon
' Investigation, to have been forced into the streets by nem..
city, or procuring such relief from proper sources. Secondly,
for restraining impostors, by the ,employment of constables to •
perambulate the streets,. for the purpose of apprehending and
enforeiog the law against such Offenders. Thirdly, the-sirs.
tem of inquiry into the Merits of begging-letter writers. 'the
annual expense of carrying on the establishment of these prin.'
ciples was computed to average about 3,5001. per annum, whilst
the average income did not exceed -40001. per annum, so that a
deficiency of about 7001. a year has been incurred. After ma.
turqy examining every item, in order to ascertain whether any
diminution of expenditure could be effected, the managers de-
cided that no rcauction could take place, without materially
injuring the operation of the society; and the total abolition 9f
one or more of these branches seemed to be the only efficient
means of conducting the institution on an eligible footing.
Great difficulty occurred in the rejection of any of these three
branches : and in order to avoid so unpleasant an alternative,
the managers deemed it advisable to ascertain how far his Ma-
jesty's Government might be disposed to sanction the grant, of'.
an annual sum equal to the expense of the coercive branch of
the Society:a proceedings, which, branch, it was thought, might
with propriety be considered as an auxiliary to the metropolitan
police. In reply to a communication on that subject, the Se..
cretary of State said, " That the utility of the society mainly
depended on its continuing a private Institution, enforcing the
existing law by its own means, and not borrowing 'any part of
its energy from the aid of the Government • that the associa-
tion had his best wishes, anti that he should hear with regref
that its efforts were relaxed, because' he believed it to be a
oseful and well-conducted establishment." Under' such cir-
cumstances, it only remained for the managers to discontinue
the first and second branches, or to endeavour to raise the re-
gular income oldie society, by the amount of 7001. per ann.,
without which it could not maintain the level of its past effici-
ency. The report concluded by noticing the attacks which
have been recently made on the institution by a portion of the
public press,.and entreated that the fru:lids to the Society would
prove the injustice of such aspersions by inquiry and nivesti,!
gis inn.

!.ord DE LA NVAnn moved that the Report be adopted
and printed. fie was glad to find, that in consequence of the
statement: alluded tn,in -the report, many 'of the-subscribers
had agreed to double the amount of their contributions. With
respect to the discontinuance of any one of the three branches,
he should be most aorry that the begging-letter department
should be given up. Every one knew, that before this was
established, public generosity was exposed to a continual sys
tem of fraud anti imposition.
SAMUEL CHO3IPTO4 Esq., M.P., seconded the motion.
Considering the comparatively midi income of the Society, it
was quite evident that it had done a vast deal of good. bon.
don wits, of course, the great resort of persons seeking employ-'
ment, and, when disappointed in their expectationi, and
thrown on the world without the means or support, they
had hereon nnfailing.refuge. it was also' admirably calculated
to snatch young and ignorant females from ruin and crime.
Lieut—tieneral THOnNT6N agreed generally in the prin-
ciples on which the Institution had been conducted, but con-
sidered that the begging letter department did not form, one
of the primary objects for which the subscribers had given their
money, but had been subsequently added; and was to be sup-
ported by separate contributions. The' great object he eon--
coved was to keep common beggars out of the street; end if the
first branch was to be placed on an efficient footing, this object
would be fully accomplished. NVith respevt to the em.
pluyment of constables, for the apprehension of sturdy vagrants,
he thought that this was often hazardous, as it trenched on the
prerogative of the metropolitan police ; but he begged to im-
press on the attention of the meeting, that it great deal.of the
evil was to be attributed to the defective system of education
pursued in the great national schools. It wallowing to the youth
of both sexes not being instructed in some useful labour, that
so many Idle characters were constantly parading the streets. If
these were remedied, he was confident the evil would soon. e

The Noble. CHAIRMAN, in moving the Resolutions, took nto
elution to observe that he considered the begging letterdtpartr
meat to be one of the most valuable branches of the institution,
and he earnestly hoped that the funds of the Society would en.s
sure its continuance.

Lord DUDLEY AND \Vann proposed the second Resolution:
His Lordship trusted that all the branches would be continued,
because he could hear testimoney to their good effects. He
agreed with the Noble Chairman, that the begging letter de-
partment was of the first importance, because it detected impos-
ture, and directed the current of public benevolence into a pro.;
per channel. It had been objected that when letters were re-
ferred to the Society, the decision was unfavourable to the
writers; but that he would most distinctly deny. No applica.:
tion of this kind was ever rejected, but on the strictest examina
don into the truth of the writer's appeal ; by this means the
fraudulent beggar was detected, and relief always afforded to
the deserving,
Lord CALTrionrE felt persuaded that the more thi advan.
tages of this institution were- inquired into, the mores abundant
would its resources become. Charity, bestowed through such
a medium, was More the result of the judgment than a mere
surrender of importunity. Nothing was so calculated to steel
the heart against the claims which, genuine distress; possessed, as
the conviction of continual deception ; and it was well known
that in the metropolis there were a vast number of petunia whose
whole subsistence was created by praitices on the best feelings
of humanity by a fictitious display of suffering and destitutiom
The resolution which he had the honour of seconding, was a
vote of thanks to the illustrious patron of the Society, his Royal
Highness; the Duke of York t and if any thing were wanting to
raise it in public estimation, such patronage would ensure its
success.

Lord- nat.'. E then moved a vote of thanks to the President,
the Duke of Northumberland. His Lordship mentioned a case
which had come under his own observation, which marked
his practical benefits of the system on which the Society was
conducted.

BIWA RI) PEN RH Y N", Esq., seconded the ruOtion, and trusted
that the labours of eight years would not now, be suffered to de.
cline front want of adequate support.
J. WEYLAND, Esq., returned flasks ou behalf of the Duke
of Northumberland.

Viscount GAGE moved a vote of thanks to the Honorary
Officers of the Society, and declared it to be Ids consclentiotra
opinion that the metropolis did not boast of a more valuable in-
stitution.

W. P. en A ti runt seconded the resolution. Ile repelled

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Rtoik, dated Tuesday, April H.)
PARIS, APRIL 10.--Missolonghi has fallen into
the power of Ibrahim. The cries of the murdered

Greeks rise against those unworthy Frenchmen
who, following the examples of Buonaparte and
Wallah• Menou, have embraced the religion of
Mahomet, and denied that of Christ ; their blood
accuses the impious philosophy of the eighteenth

. . century, which has not ceased to. declaim Against
L.: the Crusades, and which has every where de-
strayed the piety which should inspire Christian:.
The true enemies of the Greeks are the men
who have endeavoured to extinguish Christianity
in the heart, and who have terrified the world
with their detestable maxims.
The Constitutionne/ and the Courier Francois
know what we would say. The following are
all the Particulars that our letters supply of what
preceded this event :—A letter from Zante, re-
ceived at Spilt in the beginning of February,
says, that the garrison of Missolonghi had caused
3,000 women, children, and persons unable to
carry arm', to be' conveyed to the Islets of
Palala, and Warm), dependent on the, lonian
Islands; that the inhabikints of Zante had sub-
scribed 2,000 tataris, that part of the money was
employed to purchase 1,600 quintals of biscuit,
which were sent to Petala and Calarno, and
thence conveyed by small boats toMissolonghi.
The Governor of Zante has sent a detachment
of 40 soldiers for the security of the insurgents
M'ho are in 'those two little islands under the Bri.
.fish protection.
The,, Greeks in Missolonghi are Suliots and
Albanians.,
brahlin commenced the bombardment the sth
of February, which was to continue day and
nlght, - ;Nigh t. fined red bombs were to be thrown
in in 24 hours for;3o-,days, after which a general
assault was to be made.
The official journal of Napoli di Romania
says—
" Missulonghi has drawn upon itself all the
national wor—it . alone now combats—some

thotpand.men, devote themselves for all Greece ;
and alone, of ail the Greek warriors, endure fa-
mine, thirst, and misery, while the others revel
in.abunt•lance. Thanks be given to Divine Pro.
vidence, which has not permitted the demons of
hell to get into Missolongid, to do there what
they have dune in other camps.
" The, most deplorable inactivity reigns in the
Itlierea;.as if there were no more enemies to.com-
bat ; and yct the infidels remain undisturbed
in our fortresses, while our Generals repose in
Argos, when, if some thousand Moraotes would
hasten to Missolonghi to encounter Ibrahim'
Puelta, • that bulwark would not lee so hardly
pressed, and the Satrap would not be able again
to tread the territory of Pal Ups; but these ideas
ate disregarded—they do not enter into the head,
of any hody.".

SECRET DOCUMENTS.

We have received (says the British
.Press of
this morning) the following Secret Documents,
which the observations prefixed, from a Spanish
emigrant of distinction, now-in this country. We
hasten to publish them, in order to show what
degree of importance is attached to the affair of
Bazar( by the' persons besf calculated to judge oil
such a subject. We have merely to add that
Mina is.now at Sevenoalts, Kent. The Secret Do-
cuments subjoined serve to show the internal state
of the Spanish Government ;
Subjoined are copies of two circulars, which the police of one
of our departments has Sent to its subalterns, in consequence of
the desperate attempt of Bazan. By the language of these do.
cuments you will he able to judge of the abilities and judgment
of this superintendent of police. We need not be surprised,
however, that the agents resemble the Government which
eut-
ploys them, and it would he much more surprising if a bar-
barous and ignorant Government employed enlightened agents ;
but the superintendent might at least have written with sufH-
cient clearness to be understood by his subalterns. It' the lan-
guage of these Circulars gives an idea of the abilities of their
author, their contents and their object shew very clearly the
inaccuracy of the information which the police possesses on
the one hand, and on the other its readiness to take alarm
every moment at phantoms and ghostsi of combined expedi-
tions, at apparitions of General Mina, and at other fictions
of that nature, when we all know very well that General Mina
is very quiet in England, as well as all those whose expeditious'
could give more uneasiness to our police than that of Hazen.
—lf that unfortunate man had listened to some counsel he
would not have perished so fruitlessly. if the heads of our
police were as aide as they ought to be (for at present it must
either be blind or unwilling to see) they would answer such
intelligence and such suggestions, by spewing the Government
of Ferdinand, that these ghosts of Ilinas, and these phantoms
of expeditions, arise only in Spain itself; that the barbarity
andignorance of the Governthent creates Alines for itself every
day, by equipping expeditions, and increasing those evils which
may one (lay reduce the police .to atoms, and cause the very
memory of a goVernment so brtital and atrocious to disappear.
This is what thdee superintendents of the provinces ought to
say, who from their situation are enabled more narrowly to
observe the state, of, misery, to which the nation has been re-
duced, the miniernus families who have been reduced to the
brink .of despair, the absolute 'stagnation to which all those
branches are reduced which constitute the life of a state, and,
above all, the impotence and nullity to which the Government
has reduced itself by its reputed crimes, and by carrying
its baseness to such an extent, as to forget, apparently, that
it is a national government ut all—appearing to-day Carlist, to-
morrow Ferdinandist ; one day French, another inaoisitionis;
always vacillating, and always either foreign entirely to the
nation, or factiously opposed to its interests. The hearts of the
police ought to represent to their Government, that expeditions
from abroad and conspiracies at home, are all effects of one
cause, and, consequently, that without removing that cause, it
is impossible to prevent such things front taking place; that
neither of these purposes can be ellicted by circulars, however
secret they may he ; that the remedy is very simple, though,'
on the other hand, it' is vary difficult. if tne Government of
Spain will act on enlightened principles, it will decide at one
blow the fate of the expeditions and their projectors—theghosts
and phantoms will 'disappear; but if it will not do so, or if
it cannot do so, it will find in that very fact the cause of
all those different effects, which will undoubtedly be repeated
continually, both at home and abroad, in spite of all the
circulars of the police. But the step to be taken is difficult,
and it would oust the 'Ake and the inquisition from the
exercise of their high„ and mighty duties. • It is better that
they should go on in their career of disorder. That is the
surest way to lead to the regeneration of Spain ; and in the
meantime, though we are sufferers by it, we have at least
the satisfaction to see, and to Jet Others see, the disgrace-
ful spectacle exhibited by the Monarchy of Spain—that the
d'auttire of the wisdom of the Alliance which I will not call
holy. We shall gain from this another advantage of considers
able importance. A great number of• Spaniards, who bonn,lide
believe the deceitful promises of the French Government and
its agents, and whose fatal credulity favoured not a little the
disgraceful invasion of the Duke d'Angouleme, will now be
convinced that they have nothing to expect from the Govern-
ment but new endeavours to carry illusion and deceit to a atilt
greater extent. This result will be as fortunate and advan-
nigeotts its out former 'mistakes' were dangerous. It will tend
to unite in the same cause all those Spaniards who cherish sen.
timents of independence and of liberty, and will produce among
thou that harmony end concord which is necessary, In order to
restore our country to that prosperity of which it was deprived
by the blackest ingratitude; and, above all, to that honour.and
even Flory of 'which her Ballasteroses, her Abisvaies, and her
Mottles, so treacherously and vilely deprived her.
