PZESENTATION OP A PIECE OP PLATE

TO MR. ALDERMAN GARRATT.

Yesterday a Meeting of the inhabitants of Bridge
was held at Fishmongers' Hall, for the purpose of pre-
senting a piece of plate to their Alderman. The plate,
which cost between two and three hundred pounds, was
purchased by subscription,
Mr. Attvvood, M. P. as one of the inhabitants of the
Ward, was called fib the Chair. He said the inhabitants
were desirous bf conveying, in a distinct and lasting man-
ner, some expressions of their affection and regard for
•their Alderman. It was not, however, solely on grounds
of private respect that they would feel themselves war-
ranted in proceeding so far out of the common course, but
it was because they felt that under his superintendence,
as Alderman, the interests and respectability of the Ward
had been advanied; that under his care the honour of the
Shrievalty had been maintained in a distinguished man-
ner; and that, as Lord Mayor, he had maintained the
splendour, the respectability, and the hospitality of the
dice in a manner which had secured to him the lasting
respect of the city at large. ,
The following is the inscription on the plate :

" Presented by
- The INHABITANTS of the WARD of BRIDGE,
Within the City of Loudon,
In testimony of their affectionate regard,
To their valuable and faithful Friend and Alderman,
JOHN GARRATT, ESQ.
And as a token of the sense which they entertain
Of his estimable qualities in private life ; of the unceasing zeal
which he has ever manifested for the interest of
THIS WARD ;
Of his honourable and
.independent conduct, exemplified in the
discharge of the important duties of
Clnite MAGISTILAIS Of this Metropolis;
Of the splendid hospitality displayed by him throughout
his Mayoralty ; . .

Embracing in that period the memorable act of his laying
The first atone of a New LONDON BI4IIIOE,
On which interesting occasion
A most sumptuous Entertainment was provided by him for
HIS IIOYAI. liIGJfl lea
FREDERICK, DUKE OF YORK,
Presumptive Heir to the Throne of these Realms,
For the Members of Hie Majesty's Government, and for
HIS reLLow-crrtztes.
November, MDCCCXXV."

Mr. Alderman Garrett then rose, evidently much agi-
tated. Any words which he could select would be insuf,
ficient to express his feelings. Born in the Ward of Bridge,
and a resident of it all his life, it would not be doubted
that he had anxiously endeavoured to attend to its best in-
terests, and render it services; but those cervices would
not have merited so high a reward, had not their kindness
supplied the deficiency. lle concluded a feeling address
by saying, " Gentlemen, whom I may truly call my friends,
I accept with pleasure this beautiful mark of your appro-
bation and esteem. I will hand it down to my son, and
charge him to appreciate it as highly as his father did be-
fore him; reminding him, the highest reward any indivi-
dual can receive, on this side of the grave, is the appro-
bation of the great and the good, such as those who now
surround me."—(Loud and continued applause.)
Thanks were voted to the Chairman, when the meet-
ing separated.

An Irish girl charged a man named Bustle with taking her by
the leg " like a chicken," and threatening to throw her over the
stairs of his house, when she only just dropped, in" for six shil.
links- and sixpence, which was awing her by Mrs. Bustle.
Sir RICHARD Riantx.—Well, Mr. Bustle, what excuse have
you for ill tiring this girl when she called for her own?
The prisoner denied the nom% as well as the debt ; but said
he had kept her six months from charity.

GREECE.

Couto, Sinn 20.—A11 sorts of rumours are abet at to poor
Greece ; the cannons of the barbarians have been beard knelt
under =noses, and each shot a death-blow to liberty. It is the '-
general opinion that Greece must yield. The flower of her troops,
the best, the bonestest of her warriors, hare fallen with. Misso-
-longhi: The whole (or nearly so) of the lowlands are over4unt
and the remnant of this wretched nation must be subdued, if not
exterminated.
" It is in vain granting freedom to a race so degenerate, so to-
tally devoid of the solid virtues, as these brave and faithleAs
scoundrels. Still, however, their fate is most wretched ; for
their struggles will arm all nations against them. This is r.o rid-
dle, but a very uzitural consequence of their proceedings ; for the,
fact is, the whole a the Greek islanders, are turning pirates, and
pir,Aes from absolute necessity. They say that they respect the
British flag, but that has not hindered Captain Hamilton of the
Cambrian from taking several hundreds of their light cruisers
that infested the narrow seas. Ti,sis is an on dit, and I collet
answer for the absolute truth, but is is probable, for such appeal*
to be the natural course of things.
" Yet no one that visits their shores beet mutt
'Dream that Greece might still be Ire.'
"Every thing is characteristic of the dew ent of the peoples
and a very slight glance is sufficient to convince you that the dark .
keen eyes, bushy jet locks, and athletic forms, Oelong to Greeks
as resolute, and crafty, too, as in the days of old, Almost the
moment after I landed I saw a porter of a fellow klarnwing
body into all sorts of attitudes, and swearing at anotlusr "By the
soul of his fathers," with just as much energy as Deinnathenet
himself when conjuring his hearers in the names of the ):boss
of
Marathon. Their dress is singularly handsome, and admirablY
fitted for showing off the figure to the greatest advantage."

[THE NEW TIMES.]

The following apparently official notice appeared in
a Morning Paper of Wednesday, and was copied into
the Chronicle of Thursday :
" Government, it is understood, are at length convinced, by
the representations which have been made to them by gentlemen
engaged in the northern manufactories, and from their own ob-
servations, that public subscriptions are quite inadequate for the
relief of the distressed. In answer to some application on the
subject,v ises thLloyd'., Mr. Peel, it is said, ad-
vises raising a new subscriP-
em tt
oeCommitteeake any
attempt. a t
tion, as the Government have determined to adopt a more exten-
sive and efficacious measure."
We cannot say by what mistake or misrepresenta-
tion this pretended piece of intelligence was given to
the Public. We are authorised in the most unequi-
vocal manner to state, that nothing can be farther
from the sentiments of his Majestys Ministers than
the wish which is here imputed to them. Of the
plan of relief, by subscription, they were, in the be-
ginning, the warmest advocates, and their opinion of
the fitness and propriety of that plan remains un-
changed: Whatever stimulus the cordial approval
and cordial co-operation of his Majesty's Ministers
can give, to the exertions of the Humane Public, for
the relief of the distresses of our manufacturing bre-
thren, they therefore most heartily and unhesitant-
ingly give. It is almost needless to add, as his muni-
ficent gift to the Spitalfields' weavers sufficiently
evinces, that the feelings of our beloved and benefi-
cent Sovereign are in,perfect accordance with those of
his faithful and judicious servants.

HAT TON- GA RDEN. —(Tti is DA T.)
Thomas Barnett was charged with stealing a quantity
of wet linen. The prisoner said he was driven to the theft.
by the moss abject distress, and begged for mercy. He
had, he said, a wife and five children, He was, notwith-
standing, fully committed for trial, and the parties bound
over to prosecute.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET—(This Diy.)
Two French egg-merchants applied for Sir G. Farrant's
assistance under the following circumstances :
A fortnight ago they sold a case of eggs to a cheese-
monger in Crown-street, Soho. Two days since they sold
him another ; after he had got them he said there had
been 800 bad ones in the first case, end he would pay no
more than 21. 2s. lid., deducting 21. for the bad ones.
Complainant had offered him 42 eggs, which he con-
sidered a fair allowance, but nothing less than 2/. would
satisfy the cheesemonger.
Sir G. Farrant said, that he could not enforce the pay-
merit, but he would send an officer with them, if possible,
to arrange it. Clements was accordingly sent, and they
shortly afterwards returned with the cheesemonger. Cle-
ments stated, that when the tatter produced the bill of the
first case to prove that he bought it of the same party, one
of the Frenchmen snatched, and tore it to pieces.
The cheesemonger stated, that the complainant hau
warranted the first ease to him, and they were so bad that
he did not make 10s. of the whole 1300, and that he
thought his only remedy was by stoppage.
Sir George advised a settlement, which was agreed
to, the cheesemonger paying the 21.25. 44d., and promising
to arrange the difference with the French Captain, when
he returned from France. •

TURKEY.

Coworralsrtnori,t, JUNZ have, AO doubt, been in-
formed, through our legation, of the events of which this ca-
pital has been the theatre. They were a long time meditated
in silence, and the first idea, if not of total dissolution, at
least of an important modification of the corps of .Tanissaries,
is referred to a period five years back. The influence of Hus-
sein Pacha brought about the immediate execution of a plan
so necessary to the security of the empire. It is said that
Hussein Pacha, commander of all the troops on the Euro-
rail side of the Straits, had formed a plan for this purpose
with Reschid Effendi, agent of the Pacha of Egypt, lately
returned from the Morea, and who, since his arrival, had
many conferences with Hussein. It is said that the taking
of. Missolonghi, and the recent successes in Greece, had imme-
diately determined the Divan not to delay the execution of the
plan. Hussein Pacha is a man of great decision of character.
He is much beloved by the people, and his participation in any
operetion was always the prelude to success, a circumstance which
must operate powerfully on the Mussulmans, who are complete fa-
talists. Hussein has nothing of the barbarian. Hii manners are
almost European, and he has, for a considerable time, commanded
the Tahschi br artillery corps, organised by the Sultan upon an
European principle. The agent of the Pacha of Egypt is said to
be a reneged° Christian, of considerable talent, like most of those
who serve under him. He distinguished himself in the war of the
Mores.

Extract of a letter from► one of a party of Miners, dated Mompox

After an agreeable pastihge of six weeks, I arrived at Santa
Martha, a port an the Spanish Main ; the town contains about

whose emaciated appearance is walling ; they go on parade with-
out shoes or stockings, and thew clothing of all colours. we

THE ARMY.

The Depot of the 9th (East Norfolk) Regiment of Infantry
has received orders to proceed from Winchester to Plymouth.
The Depot of the 64th (2d Staffordshire) Regiment of Foot is
ordered, on being relieved at Plymouth by the Depot of the 9th
Regiment, to proceed to Jersey.

The 17th (Leicestershire) Regiment of Infantry is shortly ex-
pected to arrive at Liverpool from Scotland.
A Detachment of the 39th (Dorsetshire) Regiment of Foot,
recently embarked, as a guard, on board the Spehe convict ship,
which will proceed in a few days, with 154 male convicts, from
Woolwich for Sydney.

The Bishop of Durham arrived at his Castle at
Bishop Auckland on Friday last. On his entering
into the county at Croft Bridge, which separates it
from the county of York, he was met by the Officers
of the See, the Mayor and Corporation of Stockton,
and several of the principal nobility, and others of the
county. Here a sort of ceremony was performed,
which had its origin in the feudal times. After this
the procession, consisting of between 40 and 50 car-
riages, and a great nuinber of horsemen, which alto-
gether had a most imposing aPPearauce, moved for-
ward to its place of destination. When it arrived at
Darlington, his Lordship anti company halted at the
head inn in that town, where they partook or an ex-
cellent cold collation. At this place his Lordship's
frank and generous disposition was manifested by his
affithility, and &minority with 'every one. They then
resumed their progress, and, on approaching his Lord-
ship's beautiful and ma„ouificent Castle at Auckland,
he was hailed.with every demonstration of, joy. His
Lordship will make his public entry into the city of
Durham, on Friday the 21st instant, and proceed to
his Castle there. The people of Durham, Auck-
land, and the neighbourhood, look upon this as the
beginning of an-auspicious period, as it is !understood
his Lordship Purposes to lot the greatest part of his
time at these two places.—Tyne Mercury,

MARQUIS OF NITATI:RFORD.

It is with great regret that we announce the death of the Mar-
quis of Waterford, which melancholy event took place, on Sunday
last, at Carmarthen, on his way to Buxton.
His Lordship, the Right lion. Henry de Is Poer Beresford,
succeeded his father as Marquis of Waterford, Earl of Tyrone,
Baron de la Poer and Baron Beresford, on the 3d December,
1800, and married on the 29th August, 1805, Lady Susan
Hung. Carpenter, only daughter and heiress of George Second
Earl of Tyrconnel, by whom he has left several children. His
Lordship is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son,
Henry Earl of Tyrone, now Marquis of Waterford.
His Lordship was a Knight of the most illustrious Order of St.
Patrick.

tunate persons who we are well' aware are severely suf-
fering, to reflect upon the consequences of any hostile
acts towards their employers. They not only in that
case will paralyse the efforts of those who can render
them temporary assistance at least, but they will

inevitably make their condition worse than it is at

AT'rEIVIPT AT SUICIDE.

About five o'clockthis Morning, u Mr. Gaskin, one of the
Surveyors of the Thames Police, was in his boat on the River duty,
near Black friars-bridge, had observed a woman throw herself off the ,
upper steps of the south side of , the bridge into the river. Mr.
Gaskin made the best of his way to the spot, and after the unfor-
tunate woman had been for nearly five minutes under one of the
arches of the bridge, 'and from the state of the tide, in about 12
feet water, she was rescued by him and his men, from a premature
death. She was immediately carried to Christchurch watch house,
where the usual means recommended by the Royal Humane So-
ciety,were adopted with sume4sss..yearil.t,o..flellgu:tghbet,h.viefsentr,gfel:rnp,owrtears,

MINT OF THE UNITED STATES.

The annual report of the operations of the Mint of the
United States has been laid before Congress. From this
document it appears, that the coinage effected within the
year has amounted to 1,735,894 dollars, consisting of
5,178,760 pieces of coin.
Of Gold Coin 33,494 piece', making
Silver 3,621,136
Copper 1,624,100

156,385
1,564,583
14,926

£1,735,894
The gold coin of the last year has exceeded that of
1824 by the sum of 63,185 dollars; of this excess, it
may be interesting to observe, a very sensible portion con-
sists of gold bullion, derived from North Carolina. The
value of the deposits received from that quarter within the
year having been nearly 17,000 dollars, more than three-
fold the amount from the same source in any previous
year since 1804.

The value of the gold bullion received from the other
quarters within the last year, may, with a sufficien tap-
proximation to accuracy, be stated at 45,000 dollars from
Africa, and 75,000 dollars from Mexico, South America,
and the West Indies; leaving ab0ux.,19,000 dollars derived
from other sources not ascertained. •

ford, proctor, of Bedford-row, Holborn, whose family is
now residing at 14, New-steyne. It appeared from the
evidence, that the deceased and several other persons were
assembled on Monday last, to witness the trial of Captain
Manby's life-preserver, at the outer head of the Chain
Pier. The deceased was kneeling on the right hand of
the mortar to witness the experiment, and immediately on
the mortar being fired was seen to fall down. On being
taken up, it appeared that be was wounded on the right
jaw bone, and there was also a wound an inch and a half
in length in the neck, which completely divided the caro-
tid artery, and caused his death. There were two orthree
persons wounded besides, but fortunately not seriously.
The parents are inconsolable for the loss. The Jury re-
turned a verdict of Accidental Death, with a deodand on the
chain of One Shilling.

FURTIIEII PARTICULARS.
The day on which this melancholy catastrophe took
place was very fine, and numbers of persons were collected
on the Pier and Cliffs to witness the experiment of try-
ing Captain Manby's apparatus. It appears, that it was
resolved to try the experiment on the Pier head, and
for that purpose, the mortar was placed on the stone
pavement with its muzzle pointing towards the south.
At this time a gentleman was leaning on the railing near
the mortar, and the unfortunate young gentleman stood
close to him, or, as we are informed, leaning on him. The
discharge took place; but the shot must have been re-
tarded in its velocity considerably, and instead pf carrying
off the chain in a straight line, it must have dashkd it about
the tail of a kite as it left the mortar's mouth ; for it
appears to have passed round the gentleman's arms and
chest, the end of it striking the poor lad on the neck. The
gentleman is much bruised, and lies at the New Ship Inn
very ill. We are confirmed in the opinion we have offer-
ed, by the fact of a piece of the broken link having been
found on the body of the youth ; but it must not be conceiv-
ed that the whole affair took scarcely the tenth part of the
time we have occupied in describing it. It must have
been momentary, for scarcely any of the persons present
knew of the accident till after it was over; nor can a
description of the flight of shot be expected. We can
only conceive how it must have occurred : no words can
describe a motion so rapid that the eye could not observe
its velocity. The terror of the people when the accident
became known was very great ; and we have seldom wit-
nessed any circumstance that has excited more interest.—

THE MINES OF POTOSI.

MR. EDITOR-It seems extraordinary that the wealth
of these mines did not induce the Spaniards to inclose
with walls and a deep ditch a space for planting the seeds
of different trees, such as oak, elm, beech, Spanish or sweet
chesnut, poplar of Lombardy, and firs of different sorts.
Many of these indosures might have been made to prevent
the wild animals injuring the young plants. When the
trees grew up, the white woods would have served until
the oaks, elm, and sweet chesnut trees, were of a sufficient
growth and age. This, if ever executed, will save the car-
riage of timber, the expellee of which is so great, that Mr.
Helm (the last writer of note who gives an account of
these mines) says, " A beam of oak, thirty feet long, and
ten inches in the square, is worth, at Potosi, its weight in
gold. That the precious metals are in sufficient abundance
to supply all Europe for these thousand years to come.
That red cinnabar, of the best quality, abounds; but, for
want of charcoal cannot be fused into quicksilver; and
which would be in sufficient quantities to smelt the gold.
Two-thirds were lost by the Spanish method of doing it."
The longer the sowing seed is delayed, the greater delay
there will be in procuring a large supply of gold and silver
from these inexhaustible mines. if this is immediately
attended to, your excellent Paper will be the happy means
of rendering the greatest good, not only to your country
and all Europe, but to the Spaniards in South America.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, MAY 12.

J. Lancaster, proprietor of the Atlas Steam Packet Booking-
office, in Regent-street, was indicted for larceny, in having ap-
propriated to his own use a paper parcel, value 10d. the property
of Mr. J. Addison, the particulars of which were detailed in our
Police Report. Several favourable circumstances were adduced
in behalf of the prisoner, and among the witnesses to character
was Mr. Justice Gazelee, who is trustee under the will of the pri-
soner's grandfather, by which, at the death, of his mother, he will
come into possession of a considerable estate. The venerable
Judge said, he formerly knew the prisoner intimately when his
character was truly estimable, latterly he had nut been so well
acquainted with him, but he had never heard any thing amiis of
him. The prosecutor said, had he been aware of the favourable
circumstances now stated, he would not have proceeded. The
Chairman, however, said enough had been stated to prove the
prisoner legally guilty. In this opinion the Jury coincided,
and returned a verdict accordingly, when the Court sentenced
him to fourteen days' imprisonment, but ordered him to be kept
separate from the common'herd of prisoners.

['run TimAs.]
The majority of ministers on the late division, not-
withstanding so many of their-old friends voted against
therti', was a triumphant one. The circular threat of
resignation was, no doubt, beneficial- to the Ministerial
cause ; and though not a new expedient, will still here-
after bear repetition with similar effect. We are, how-
ever, glad the measure of admitting, if need be, a
portion of foreign grain has in any way overcome this
opposition ; and assume the victory of Thursday night
as an earnest of the final success of the bill now in its
passage through the lower House, notwithstanding
Lord 'Harewood and another peer who voted with
Ministers on the late occasion, intimated, that had Lord
Nlalmesbury.reserved his force to resist that bill on -
its transmission from the Commons, they should then
have joined in his resistance. Indeed, though the
late division substantially disposes of the bill, yet it
technically and formally supplies a stronger cause for
an opposition to it ; for Lord Malmesbury's proposal
was only to institute a previous inquiry into the neces-
sity of committing an infraction on the corn-laws,
the refusal to grant the previous inquiry may render
that infraction by the Bill iri question more fearful and
suspicious. "We might have supported the Bill,"
it may be said, t, if the inquiry had proved it neces-
sary ; but to pass the Bill without the inquiry is, of
all courses, the most hazardous. Thus thehlindfriends
of she Corn Laws may argue and act, if they find their
courage strong. But it is, perhaps, more probable that
they will not expose themselves to a second defeat.—
But if we congratulate -Ministers on their triumph,
we are sure we may no less congratulate their old
friends who opposed them on this occasion, that their
opposition has been: fruitless. For how would such
Peers as the Dukes of Northumberland and Newcastle,
how, would Lord Malmesbury himself, the author of
the motion, and the Earl of Limerick, and many
others—have felt, on seeing those under whose banners
they had always fought, beaten down and defeated on
this occasion rq The feeling would have been like that
of Coriolanus, had he destroyed Rome by the aid of
the Volscians : he would have looked with horror on
his new allies, and wished his victory had been a defeat.
The country we may congratulate, on the probability
that it will be rescued, from starving, in case the ensu-
ing harvest should fail, or the stock of grain in hand
prove lamentably deficient. But it is more particularly
desirable that the price of corn should he low for a few
weeks to come, inasmuch as increased effect will thereby
be given to the charity which is now so humanely ex-
tending to the ' suffering. manufacturers ; fbr irr what
will the money which is now to be given them be laid
out, but in bread ? Animal food -cannot be allowed ;
and if the price of corn would mount 'up, so much
less money will, in effect, be bestowed; for it will buy
hiss 'bread.

untrue, and the defendant could never he prevailed on to- restore

OLD BAILEY, MAY 12.

James Winn was indicted for stealing a pocket-book and pen-
cil-case, the property of Captain William Barton, from his person.
Captain-Barton and Sir Thomas Croft were in the Pit of the
Opera on the 15th of April, when the Captain felt some one
make an attempt to take his pocket-book out of his pocket. In
about five minutes after a second attempt was made, and then the
book was abstracted. Captain Barton immediately exclaimed,
" Good God ! I have lost my pocket-book," and on turning rouad
he saw'the prisoner deposit something in his hat. Sir T. Croft,
seeing the prisoner much confused, seized him, and he then shuf-
fled the book ont of his hat, and it was found under his feet. The
officer who searched his person, said he found a gold watch, chain,
and seals, several fine white handkerchiefs, and a silk purse con-
taining two sovereigns at one end, and a quantity of flash hair-
dressers' notes, resembling Bank notes, at the other.
The prisoner made a most solemn appeal to Heaven that he was
innocent. He called some witnesses to speak to his character, but
they had known very little of him for the last three years. The
Jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to be Transported
for Life.

Serjeant ARABIN told the Jury, that the prisoner had been
tried at Lancaster, for stealing from the pocket of a gentleman
5,0001. He was also concerned in the late extensive robbery at

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,---In your Paper, dated July 14, containing
Police Intelligence of Bow-street, for Wednesday, I
find that a woman called Crowley was charged with
annoying Captain Knox and his mother. Through
the medium of your respectable Journal I should be
,;lad' to make a few observations, with a view of hay.
nig an impression removed, which from the ambiguity
of her statement; would probably be made on other
readers besides myself.
Mrs. Crowley stated that she had left her husband
to be housekeeper to Lieutenant General Brown (the
uncle of Captain Knox), at his pressing solicitations,
and while in his service had two children; that lie pro-
mised to provide for one, and at his decease to allow
her 501. per annum. From such a statement any one
would naturally infer that the General had seduced
this woman from her husband, that she cohabited
with him, and in fact had two children by him. This
inference is strengthened by the same report, which
says, that she has a soil by her huffband, who Is; yet alive
and expected from India. If the inference, then, be
a true one, that she cohabited with the General; it
seems rather too much to expect that any female rela-
tive, who came into the possession of his ibrtunei
on his demise, would pay her the annuity, not per's by
law. If relations, executors, or heirs,: were morally
bound to provide for such women, and for their ille-
gitimate offspring, it would act as a bounty upon their
increase. Mr. Halls, the magistrate, must certainly
not have understood the ease in this light, but have
considered her to be a modest, upright, and faithful
servant, when he said, as your, paper reports,' that the
relatives of the General were morally bound to give
her assistance, and that their refusal to do so was in
his opinion disgraceful.
If any of the parties concerned would elucidate the
matter, it might not be unacceptable- to public justice,
and would oblige, Sir,
