HAMBURGII AND BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BERLIN, JUNE 13.—His Majesty the Emperor
of Russia has left this city to return-to Warsaw.
On the 11th, the marriage of his Royal Highness
Prince William, and her Royal Highness the Prin-
cess Augusta, Duchess of Saxe Weimar, was so-
lemnized with great pomp.
VIENNA, JUNE 10.—The Collti Gazette of the
23d of May announces the surrender of Misso-
longhi and Anatolico to the Greeks, on the 17th
May, by capitulation, the terms of which were
punctually observed. It is said that a great quan-
tity of ammunition and cannon, &c. was found in
Missolonghi, the Seraskier having left there the
greater part of the artillery employed in the siege.
After the surrender 3,000 Greeks marched towards
Athens, and the remainder to join the troops in
Egypt.
The Corfu Gazette of the same date also says,—
Accounts from Alexandria, received in 17 days, say
that the Egyptian land expedition, which was to go
to Asia, is deferred. A ship of the line, and four
frigates belonging to the Sultan, and twenty cor-
vettes and brigs belonging to the Pacha of Egypt,
were in the port of Alexandria ready for sea, and
were to go to Constantinople. The purchases of
corn were suspended till the Government should
have completed the shipment of 300,000 kilos; for
Constantinople, which corn was to be sent to the
ports of Asia Minor, near to the Dardanelles.—.
Neither Alexandria nor Candia was blockaded. The
importation of all kinds of goods, except ammuni-
tion, and also of troops, into the island, was per-
mitted. There was a kind of truce between the.
Greeks aad Turks. A letter from Corfu, of the
25th May, says, " the blockade of Prevesa and
neighbouring coast is raised, in consequence of the
Proclamation of the 13th of May ; and on the 15th
most of the Greek ships withdrew. However, by
way of precaution, the Government here has sig-
nified that merchantmen bound to Prevent would be
convoyed by the Etna. The Ferret brig is also
gone to.the coast of Prevesa, for the protection of
merchantmen."

Governor-General of the Indies, left the Hague on
the lath, to embark in a few days for Java, on board

FROM THE NERVA, MAY 26.—Since the departure
of their Majesties, the capital is very dull. Our di-
plomatic relations: with Persia are not yet broken off.
It appears that the Saab expresses, in the strcngest
terms, his sorrow at the unhappy event that has taken
place, but the mass of the people, and even many
persons about the Sultan, do not participate in his
feelings.
They are too short-sighted and conceited in their
weakness, and the danger to which another..breach
of peace would expose them. however, large rein-
forcements of troops have been ordered to that fron-
tier, so we cannot be taken unprepared. Russia has
resources of every kind in abundance.—Hamburgh

CAMBRIDGE ELECTION.

(Froth a Cerrepolticut of the Times.)
It is understood 1::,t the 1 tter of " Rips" in Sa-
turday's Times, excellent as it. was in spirit, has given
offence to some of the supporters of Mr. Cavend:sil.
" Rips" asserted broadly that none of Mr. Caven-
dish's voters looked upon the contest as one between
Whig and Tory. No doubt the academical grounds
were strong, and are rightly put forward as very
greatly conducing to his victory ; but as it cannot
he denied that Government took part against him
(Lord Lowther, Mr. William Peel, Mr. Goulburn
actually voted against him), it seems too much to
say that it was not in any respect a contest between
Whigs and the ultra-Tories, in which the latter, with
a part at least of the Ministry, have been defeated.
You have not noticed that the Rev. James Henry
Monk, the Dean of Peterborough, paired off with
the Rev. John Hopkinson, a minor canon of Peter-
borough. This extraordinary proceeding on the part
of Monk has disgusted his best and oldest friends. A
Mr. M'Arthur was desirous of pairing off with Mr.
Skirrow ; but Mr. Cavendish's Committee objected
to the pair, on the ground. that M'Arthur had no
vote, his name being off the boards of his college in
1821, 1822, and 1823, between his 13. A. and M.A.
degree ; and as he had not kept three terms since it
was put on again, he has no vote. These facts are
probably of no great interest or importance out of
the University, but here they tell in language which
every body understands the direct or indirect influ-
ence of one part at least of the Government, and
of the Tories generally, in favour of Mr. Bankes.
I must not conclude, however, without mentioning
one admirable exception, in the person of Sir James
Fellows, a well-known 1 ory, but who, in a case
which he felt concerned the essential character of a
learned University, did not hesitate a moment be-
tween his party and his duty, and at considerable
inconvenience came forward to support the candi-
date whose academical distinctions formed in his
mind a claim infinitely superior to the pretensions
of mere Toryism, unsupported by eminent personal
merits.

Earl BATHURST entertained a select party to
dinner yesterday, at his residence in Great Cumberland-
street.

Accounts from Liverpool, dated Saturday,
state, 'that, though business has not improved during the
week, the slight amendment which had been experienced in
the course of the preceding week had continued.

Mr. HusKlssoN is expected to visit Liver•
prol in the course of August next

A ludicrous caricature has made its appear-
ance, representing one of the Candidate's drawn into Cam-
bridge by certain long•eared animals (portraits), to the
tune of" Ye Banks and ye Braes."

A few nights ago, two men of the names of
1-11xEsort and LOCKWOOD were drinking at the sign of the
George Canning, Heckmondwike, till a late hour, but late
as it was they left a neighbour behind them, and went to
his house, where finding the door open as they expected,
LOCKWOOD called to the mistress, and told her, that he had
brought her husband home drunk. She leaped out of bed,
came down stairs, and in the absence of light, did not per-
ceive the trick put upon her. She desired Locxwoon.to
help her up stairs with her supposed husband, and with
much trouble they got HINEsON, in a state of feigned in-
toxication, into bed. LOCKWOOD retired, and the woman
went to bed to HINESON ; but in a few minutes she heard
the well-known voice of her husband at the door, wh?n,,
leaping out of bed, she opened the door, and on seeing him
exclaimed, " God bless me !—I thought thou was in bed
with me." She then related what had passed, and with
his help, dragged the spurious husband out of bed, and
down the stairs, who still pretended to be drunk, and did
not resent the well-merited kicks which be received. These
facts were subsequently proved before MICHAEL STOCK!,
EN., and Ilzwxson and Locxwoon are now expiating their
offence on the tread-mill.—Leeds Mercury.

Mr. Giffard's b. c. by Banker
The Boycott Hunt Stakes was won by Mr. H. Bradley's
Pandora, beating two others.
The Darlington Cup, value 100 sovs. with 50 added.
This race excited great interest; Euxton had won it in
1827 and 1828, beating both times Euphrates, who had
won the same in 1825. The odds at starting were on
Euxton against the field. After as fine a race as ever was
seen, it terminated as follows :
Mr, Mytton's Euphrates, 13 yrs
Mr. White's Euxton, 6 yrs
Mr. France's Mufti, 4 yrs 3

After which there were three good heats for the Ladies
Purse, won by Mr. Giffard's Barabbas, beating The Crofts
and two others.

ROWING MATCH.

The annual contest for a new Wherry and other prizes
came off yesterday. The terms were, six pair of sculls,
three heats. The gift had been bestowed by the ladies and
gentlemen of Queenhithe Ward. To start from buoys
moored rather above the stairs, row round a boat moored
off Messrs. Calvert's brewhouse, up the north shore,
through Blackfriars-bridge, down through the centre arch
round the abovenamed boat, and up to the Prize Wherry
moored off the stairs. At a quarter past three the follow-
ing men were placed for the first heat :
Benjamin Bird Pink.
•
James Thomas Scarlet.
George Martin Yellow.
And came in thus—Yellow first, Scarlet second, and Pink
third. At half an hour afterwards the following men were
placed for the second heat
Charles Hathaway Blue.
Joseph Jsfi's ..Light Green.
John Davis Dark Green.
Blue was first, Light Green second, Dark Green last.—
The two first of each heat were then placed for the grand
heat. Blue took the lead, and maintained it the whole
way, winning by two hundred yards. Yellow was second;
Scarlet was third; and the other was any where.

THE DUBLIN THEATRE.

We have engrossed so much space in our obser-
vations upon the Whitwell Estate, that a very few
words must suffice on this occasion, and we lament
it less than we otherwise should do, inasmuch as in
spite of all the exertions and ingenuity of Mr. Geo.
Robins it was not actually sold. This fine property
cost Mr. Harris, about ten years since, more than
50,0001.; besides which he obtained a Patent, and
had the advantage of a previous expenditure by the
Dublin Society of 75,0001., making an aggregate of
125,0001.; and yet this splendid theatre, which,
during Mr. Harris's administration yielded a profit
of 7,0001. a year, was afterwards let for 5,0001.
a year, and is now producing a clear rental
of 30001. a year, was knocked down for 17,900
guineas. What a fatal corroboration does this fact
present of the deteriorated state of theatrical pro-
perty. Judging by the result of the Dublin sale,
what would become of Covent-garden Theatre, if
the Lord Chancellor were to order it to be sold,l
and yet, amidst so many conflicting interests, and so
little desire on either side to conciliate, this will pro-
bably be the case.
Mr. Robins took the opportunity to compliment
the liberality and kind feeling of the Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland, who had engaged a private box, and fre-
quently honoured the Theatre by his presence; when
it is quite full the receipts have exceeded 5304

QUERIES.

1. Whether the University of Oxford has not repeatedly
expressed a strong opinion, that the settlement of the Ca-
tholic Question in the way now propoled involves great and
certain danger to the Church Establishment ?

.•
2. Whether Mr. Peel has not himself avowed the same
opinion since the commencement of the present Session of
Parliament ? And whether he took any other ground in
defence of his change of policy, than the excess of immediate
danger which would be incurred by further perseverance ?
3. Whether any thing has been produced to show thy•
greatness of that danger, which was not well known to the
public long before the opening of Parliament ?
4. Whether, consequently, the proposed re-election of
Mr. Peel must not be grounded on one of these two reasons,
viz. either on a change of opinion in the University concern-
ing the principle of the question ; or on such degree of con-
fidence in their representative, as disposes them to admit the
necessity of the case upon his bare assertion?
5. Whether, considering all circumstances, it will not be
safer and more creditable in the University to make a new
choice, than to give an implied sanction to a measure which
it has so recently and so earnestly deprecated, upon the met e
authority of any person whatever ?
6. Whether, on occasions like this, we are not bound to
look forward, and consider not only how our academical in.
terests may be affected at present, (allow our conduct will
appear in the pages of future history?

QUERIES.

1. Whether the University of Oxford did not repeatedly
express a strong opinion that the settlement of the succes-
sion of the Crown in the House of Hanover was a dangerous
innovation on the Constitution, and involved a great and
certain danger to the Church Establishment?
2. Whether Doctor King, the organ of Oxford Tories,
did not avow the same opinion ? and whether he did not
even secretly visit the Pretender? and whether he and the
Tories took any other ground in defence of their compliance
with the state of things established by the Revolution, than
the excess of immediate danger which would have been
incurred by further perseverance?
3. Whether any thing can be produced to show that
the danger to our Church and Constitution is now really
greater than it was thought by the University of Oxford to
be at the Hanoverian Accession ?

4. Whether, consequently, the opposition of the Uni-
versity to all concession to the Catholics might not be mo-
derated, on one or both of the two following reasons--%
that the University has found, by experience, that its pre-
judices are not always just, nor, consequently, always
tnaintainable ; or, secondly, that it has such a degree of
confidence in the King, the Ministers, and the Parliament,
as disposes it to admit the necessity of the measure on
their joint assertion and responsibility.
5. Whether, considering all the circumstances, it may
nut be safer and more creditable to the University to pause
before it agai❑ and for ever pledges itself to the etei nal
maintenance of opinions, which so many other persons,
parties, and bodies corporate, the Parliament, the Heir
Presumptive, and the Sovereign himself, have seen reason
to abandon ?

6. Whether, on occasions like this, it is not bound to
look forward, and consisler not only how its academical
interests may be of at present, but how it shall look,
by-and-by, when the Catholic question shall have been dis-
posed of, and whether its conduct will appear in the pages
of future history more rational than that of its Jacobite pre-
decessors does now?

BOW-STREET.

On Tuesday night, Mr. James Neale, an engraver
in the Strand, appeared before Mr. MINSIIULL, to
charge his wife with having assaulted and threatened
to do him some bodily harm. Mr. Neale was ac-
companied to the office by his uncle, a solicitor, and
commenced his statement by saying, he had no other
resource to save himself from the fury of the de-
fendant, who was a woman of the most violent and
jealous temper.
Mrs. Neale here interrupted her husband, exclaim-
ing, " Oh, you false man, you cruel wretch, how
can you say so ? Your worship, I have been married
to this man for ten years, and have borne him four
children. The truth is, he goes with other women."
Mr. Neale declared that this was totally untrue.
Mrs. Neale—Why, you know you told me your-
self that you have had four or five children by a
cousin of your own.
The uncle of Mr. Neale assured Mr. Minshull that
there was no truth whatever in Mrs. Neale's asser•
tion. Amore prudent or virtuous female could not
exist than .the person to whom allusion had been
made.

Mrs. Neale, with increased vehemence, asserted
that she heard the tale from her husband's own lips,
let him deny it if he could.
Mr. Neale—l do deny it. There is not the least
foundation for such a calumny. Mrs. Neale—Oh,
you false man. Did you not yourself tell all about
it, and did I not catch ber kissing you in the ball,
and declaring that she was the person who ought to
have had you ? Did she not say, " Oh, James, my
dear James, you and I ought to have been united."
Was that proper, I say ? Was that conduct which
a faithful wife ought tamely to submit to ?
Mr. MlNsuum, requested the lt.dy to be more
moderate.

Mr. Neale said that the husband of the female
of whom Mrs. Neale had spoken was in the hall
when the transaction took place. He was about to
enter into some further explanation when Ifs uncle
told him to proceed at once to the charge of assault.
The complainant accordingly stated, that on Sunday
afternoon a friend and his wife, Mrs. Neale, and him-
self, went down to Queenhithe. They were stand-
ing by the water-side, looking at the steam-boats as
they passed, when Mrs. Neale, without any sufficient
reason, began abusing a waterman. He (complain-
ant), fearing that she might get into some scrape,
requested his friend to see that she was not insulted.
Mrs. Neale—Oh ! you cared much about me. Why
did you not tell his worship that you walked oil' arm
in arm with another man's wife ? Was this proper
conduct ? Could flesh and blood bear it ?

Mr. MINSIIULL—You do not mean, I hope,
Madam, to cast any imputation upon the lady,
because she took him by the arm ? Mrs. Neale—
Oh ! by no means. I believe that lady to be quite
virtuous.

The complainant went-on to state, that his wife
left him at Queenhithe, and he saw no more of her
until the night following, when being at Dome in
London, England, 1829-08-13

QUEEN-SQUARE,

Yesterday John Potter was fully committed by
Mr. MARRIOTT for trial, on the charge of forging
and uttering a bill of exchange, drawn on James
Burton, of Cowley, near Uxbridge, and paid by the
prisoner to Mr. Neale, of Battle-bridge.
Charles Jarroms, a watchman belonging to St.
Margaret's parish, and whose beat is in Parliament-
street, brought before the Magistrates an unfortunate
girl of the town, named Ann Wylie, whom he charged
with being drunk on the previous night.
The watchman began his story, but was so drunk
himself that he could scarcely stand or speak ; and
both parties were ordered to be locked up.
After the watchman had recovered, they were
again placed at the bar, when the girl was dis-
charged, and the watchman was fined ss. for being
drunk, and ordered to be discharged from his situation.

The affrays between English and Irish la-
bourers, of which frequent mention is made in the country
papers, and the attempts of incendiaries in the country,
are signs which it would be folly to neglect. " Can such
a state of things be borne (says the Newark Times), that
one parish should be burthened in one week with five hun-
dred and thirty-two paupers, in addition to four hundred
persons in the workhouse, anti perhaps half that number
already working on the roads for the same parish ? Our
streets and towns are filled with Irish peasantry, seeking
employment, and finding employment to the injury of our
0111 workmen; and yet, in one parish, the above appal-
ling fret exists." The people of England may rest assured
that so long as Ireland remains a prey to anarchy, they
will be overrun wits the victims which it creates. Ca-
tholic Etnimcipation is only valualdr, as it leaves a clear
course for entering on the improvement of Ireland. It is
time, however, that something should be done- The land-
lords of Ireland have had their way long enough, in con-
science.—Morning Chronicle.

THE KING'S ANSWER to the WEAV.EItS

PETITION.

.1

le l

A very numerous Meeting of unemploy,
Weavers took place last night, at the Crown !I"
Anchor, Hare-street-fields, when the following
letter, which had been received in answer to the
Weavers' Petition to the King, was read :---
" Whitehall, August 11, 1829.
" Sir,—l have laid before the King the Petitie"
to his Majesty, which was placed in my hands by
Deputation of Silk-Weavers, of Spitalflelds.
" His Majesty deeply laments the distress w01.,,c
prevails in that district, and regrets to befit. that L':
sufferings of the innocent and industrious workmen
have been increased, as there was reason to fear thq
would be, by the lawless acts, and outrages on Po'
perty, that were recently committed in Spitalfieldf•
«His Majesty has directed the Petition to be re-
ferred to the consideration of his confidential Set"
vants, who have not felt themselves warranted
1:1 in,
advising his Majesty to encourage the emigration
the Weavers of Spitalfields to any of the Colnni.sA
Possessions of his Majesty, by special pecuniary la"
for that purpose.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" Mr. John Jebb. " ROBERT PEEL." t
The reading of this letter had an evident effect
upon the Meeting, and many of them gave vent
to their feelings of disappointment.

is a charge of murder against you for murdering this
young woman, and you must go along with me."
He asked me if I would allow him to kiss her. I
said " Yes," and he kissed her. He rose up, and
putting his hands up to his head, said, " I am the
murderer. Hang me, hang me." He then sat down
again by the side of deceased, and made a grab over
at her packet, which he seized, saying, " That is

he refused to give it me; and 1 therefore tripped up

SPARRING BENEFIT FOR YOUNG DUTCH SAM.

of what the Fives Court was in " times gone by," when

the greater part of his battle money. The Court was ex-

TUESDAY, AUG. 11.

Horace Knowiden was found guilty of entering
the dwelling-house of Steward Clark, at Tenterden,
and stealing therefrom three half-crowns.—Sentence
of death recorded.
Thomas Martin, aged 19, was indicted for steal-
ing one sheep, the property of Thomas Pilcher, at
Lenham.

vv
Thomas Pilcher, son of the prosecutor, stated
that on Saturday, the 6th of June, his father had a
flock of 27 sheep. On the next morning he went
to the field with some other persons and found one
sheep lying in the gateway, with two of its legs
broken and one flayed. Its head was very much
beaten, and its eyes nearly knocked out. It was not
quite dead, and witness stuck it. In a little time
the prisoner was brought into the field : his feet
were bloody and his legs were covered with wool.
Witness charged him with killing the sheep, which
he denied. They made him carry the sheep home,
and afterwards took him to the constable's. He did
not !eetnto be so sharp as he ought to be—not quite

in his right mind.
James Whatman, Esq , surgeon to the county
prison, had examined the prisoner, and considered
him very weak in intellect, but not insane. Couhi
not say whether he was capable of judging right

from wrong.
The Jury returned a verdict of maiming the sheep,
but acquitted him of stealing, which negatived the
capital part of the crime.
His LORDSHIP sentenced him to such labour as
was suitable for him, for six calendar months; during
which time the surgeon would take care to visit him.
Charles Middleton was indicted for stealing on
the 17th of August, 1828, at Chatham, a sovereign,
the property of Ebner.
Ths prisoner said nothing in his defence.
His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, . said be had
been dealt very leniently with, as he might have
been indicted for forgery, and have forfeited his life.
—To be transported for seven years.
Three men, named Adams, Spencer, arid Fife,
were found guilty of highway robbery, attended with
great violence, on a man in Lewisham-lane, when in
a state of intoxication.

His LORDsIIIP having put on the black cap the
criminals instantly fell down on their knees, and
most earnestly entreated for mercy with groans and
ejaculations. His Lordship said the crime was of
the most aggravated nature, for the poor man whom
they had ill-treated in this horrible manner was in
such a state of intoxication that they might have
robbed him without any violence. He must, there-
fore, pass the awful sentence of the law without
giving them the slightest hopes of mercy. His Lord-
ship then passed sentence of death on the prisoners
in the most impressive manner.
