HAMBURGLJ MAIL,

7lenos E EL, . s ault on 3i7. Lutcken
_Ain excites the public attention, and appears the more
mysterioui, because another reward of 200 dollars is
offered for the discovery of the perpetrator ; yet the
journeyman trimmer, W., is still kept in custody.
There are various reports and conjectures. W. never
worked for M. Lutcken as has been reported, nor had
any business whatever with him, nor does there appear
any reason or sufficient motive for such an act. He posi-
tively denies the fact, and has appealed to witnesses, to
prove an alibi, which their depositions seem to have
nearly established. But it is said that other witnesses
have rather shaken their testimony.
The first draft of a law on the civil right of the Jews
has been read in the Second Chamber.

COPENHAGEN, DEc. 27.—Besides the official publica-
tion in the Danish language of the Convention with
Great Britain, respecting the Sound duties, the treaty on
the same subject with Sweden and Norway, which differs
in a few particulars, is likewise officially published.—

GUILDIIALL.

A poor creature, named Williams, was charged with
stealing a leg of pork in Shoe-lane.
In reply to the worthy Alderman, the prisoner said he
was forced by hunger to take the meat, and it was quite
a matter of indifference to him whether he was seen or
not, as any fate would be better than wandering the
streets night after night, with nothing sac the flag of a
hall door to sit on.—Comtnitted for trial.

The number of unfortunate beings who were brought
before the Bench in a state of destitution was appalling.
The greater number of them broke windows or lamp:
for the purpose of being sent to gaol to get shelter and a
morsel of bread.

CROYDON POLICE, Jan. 3.
Enoch Clarke, and Thomas Clark, two boys, the first
13 and the other 11, were brought before Mr. SUTHER-
LAND, ''iarged with felony, under very aggravated cir-
cumstances :

William Field, a boy nine years old, stated that he was
engaged in minding his master's sheep, on Hamsey-
green, near Croydon, when the prisoners came up to him
and asked him if he had got a knife, and when he
told them he had nut, they said they ;must have his
comforter and his smock frock, Ike was about to call

for assistance, when they both attacked him and threw
him down, and one of the prisoners held his hand over
his mouth while the other took his shoes off, and was
proceeding to strip him, but hearing some one approach-
ing, they desisted, and ran away, taking his shoes with
them. A person soon afterwards came up, and he gave
him information of what had taken place, and he rode
after the prisoners, and they were taken into custody.
John Glover stated that hearing the boy Field cry
out, he went to him and found him very much frightened
and his face was bleeding. He told him he had been
assaulted and robbed by two railway boys, and witness
having ascertained in what direction they had gone,
went after them, and he found the prisoners walking in
the road towards Croydon, and he stopped and
questioned them. They at first denied having com-
mitted any robbery, but at length the prisoner Enoch
admitted that he took the shoes from the boy Field, and
he said he did so because they were better than his own.
The prisoners said nothing in their defence, and the
Magistrate, having ascertained that they bore a very bad
character, directed that they should be committed to the
county gaol to take their trial.

LEICESTER BOROUGH SESSIONS.—Richard
Crane, a commercial traveller, was convicted before J.
Hildyard, Esq., the Recorder at the above Sessions, on
the 3d inst., on a charge of stealing a quantity of plate,
the property of John George Briggs, of the George
Hotel, Leicester. A report of the case appeared in The
Sun at the time, and a description of the prisoner's per-
son ; several innkeepers afterwards came forward, and
identified the prisoner as the same person who had been
at their houses and conducted himself in a similar man-
ner, whereupon he was fully committed for trial. The
gaoler of Worcester proved a previous conviction against
the prisoner for a similar offence, for which he was sen-
tenced to seven years' transportation, but the punishment
was afterwards commuted to twelve months' imprison-
ment. A letter was presented to the Recorder, written
by the prisoner, stating his previous mode of life, but
the Learned Gentleman said he could papa° attention
to it, and forthwith sentenced him to fifteen years trans-
portation.

Mrs. i),i,o(-ali Jul( ,;((o. 3i, 'Xi:he llart-street, Drury'
1:1;10 said that she met the cle.,Tased aceident.dly abut
three weeks ago. She was talking to a person witneSl
knew. She stated that she was very hungry, when,
witness took her home .and gave her a cup of tea an
some bread and butter. She called to see witness at her
tea-time several times since. On Saturday she calkd
again, when she appeared almost in a dying state,
and she stated that she had not had anything to
eat all that day. She could scarcely hold her cup of test
and witnes3 thought every moment she was there she
would die. Witness offered her a red-herring to eaf
when she stated that she was too far gone to cat. Wit'ness then observed to her that a person in her state 01108
to go to the workhouse. During the conversation she
observed that she knew Mr. Short, proprietor of So'
merset House Tavern, Strand. Witness and her sister
had led deceased as thr as the passage to take her there/.
when she died in their arms.

By the CORONEkt—I sent to the deceased's sister, who
lives in Tipper Bland-street, a letter on the SaturdaYt
in which she was told that the deceased was dying from
want. The letter was returned, and some pieces of printed
paper were pasted on it, to the following effect Peat'
tent sinner ! On earth to-(lay, to-morrow in hell.
Seek pardon—delay not." When she read the cot,'
tents she was almost immediately seized with death.
Witness has since seen the sister, who stated that the'
deceased left her husband thirty-five years ago with two
children, and that she had been frequently relieved by
them. She was brought to the state she was in owing W.
her own misconduct.

Other witnesses %were examined, when it appeared that
she was bequeathed 500/. at her father's death, and that
she had been supported by her family, from whom she
had alienated herself by her own misbehaviour.
Verdict—That deceased died from want, brought 00
by her own stubborn temper.

NEW COURT.

Edeea:•d Carter was indicted for stealing, Sibs. weight
of cigars, value ti, l Os., the property of John Weston.
From the evidence- given, it appeared that the prisoner
met the errand-boy of the prosecutor, as he was taking
the cigars in qnestion to a house in the Edgeware-road,
the boy had the misfortune to let the bundle fall, and
the result was, that the cigars were strewed about the
road. The prisoner came up to the lad, and assisted him
in tying up the cigars, and accompanied him to the Edge
ware-road, but the party refused to receive the cigurs„ as a
considerahle portion of them were missing. The prisoner
then took the lad to ,a coffee-house in St. Giles s, told
him to go in and inquire for a perion named Johnson,
and that ►►hile he did se he would hold the cigars for
hint. As was to be expected, on the boy's return the
prisoner had decamped; he ITas, however, subsequently
secured by a policeman. • •
The Jury, without any hesitation convicted the priso-
ner, and •
The CommoN SEUOEAvr.Sentenced him to four months'
imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction.
Philip a;flfrey, aged 36, described in the calendar as
a saddler, was indicted with obtaining money under false
pretence?. From the evidence given it appeared that the
prisoner was employed by Messrs. Reeve and Hatton,
who carry on the business of engravers and printers in
King-street, Covent-garden, to obtain orders at a cem-
mis:ilon or 101. per cent:
_Messrs. Reeve and Hatton were
in the habit of paying their servants every Saturday,
and the prisoner, for the purpose of obtaining money on.
account, represented to them that he had orders from
Messrs. Truman and Hanbury, and Messrs. Charringtorc
for card-plates. Upon the representation of the prisoner
the orders were got up at considerable expense,
but before the plates were sent in the prisoner decamped,
having obtained his commission from the prosecutors.
From the statement of one of the prosecutors it appeared
that they estimated their loss, in consequence of the false
orders given by the prisoner, at between 2001. and 3001.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Ballantyne .defended the prisoner.
The COMMON SERGEANT summed up, and the Jury
found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him tJ mercy
The COURT sentenced him to four calendar months'
imprisonment and hard labour. •
London, England, 1842-01-04

M DDLESEX SESSIONS.

These sessions commenced yesterday, before Mr.
Sergeant ADAMS and a full bench of Magistrates.

SERGEANT having congratulated the
Jury on the lightness of the calendar, both in this
Court and at the Old Bailey, the Court proceeded with
the hearing of the trials, which were very few and en-
tirely without interest.

A tariff was expected at St. Petersburgh with
the new year of a more rigorous kind than the existing
one. It is said that many articles, especially woollen
goods, will have to pay the double duty.

MISCELLILNEOIIS.

The Duke of Bordeaux has recovered from his late
accident, so as to receive visits in his arm-chair from
the nobility and gentry at Vienna.

It is a remarkable circumstance that the heirs of three
Earldoms should, after only enjoying seats in the Lower
House during the short session of last autumn, lose their
seats by succeeding to Peerages—we allude to the pre-
sent Earl of Falmouth, the present Earl of Elgin, and
the present Earl of Malmesbury.
London, England, 1842-01-04

ECCLESIASTICAL.

The monastery on Mount Carmel is to be repaired,
and the King and Queen of the French have given 1,500
francs for that purpose.

ELECTIONEERING.
The signatures to the West Riding address of York-
shire to be presented to Lord Morpeth on his return to
this country, already numbers 25,050, and the subscrip-
tions amount to 1,430 E 9s. aid.
The succession of Lord Boscawen (son of the late
Earl of Falmouth) to his father's honours, creates 2
vacancy in the representation of West Cornwall.
About twenty individuals of the citizens of Dublin, at
a meeting held there last Friday, subscribed 1,0001. to
secure Lord Morpeth's return. The determination ex-
hibited by the Liberals to start bis Lordship has caused
Mr. Vance to retire. The Lord Mayor is active in these
admirable proceedings.
NAVAL AND lIIILITAILT.
A Liverpool man last week, anxious to enter the East
India service, but unqualified by being one-eighth of an
inch under the standard height, fixed a ball of wax
covered with hair on his head, avid thereby passed, but
on detection was discharged from the corps.
fahe decoration of the Red Eagle has been conferred
on Admiral Walker, of the Turkish service, by the King
of Prussia.
MAW AND POLICE.
The session for the Central Criminal Court commenced
yesterday at the Old Bailey, being the 87th, and third
during the present Mayoralty. The calendar contains
about 120 prisoners : two cases are of a very serious
nature, the others are chiefly common larcenies.

FINE ARTS.
Charles 11., when pensioner of the French Court, had
given orders that the national bust of Britannia for the
coin of the realm should be an exact likeness of the
Duchess of Portsmouth, the French Courtezan, and her
Grace was about to sit for it, but Nell Gwynne prostrated
herself in the King's way, and admonished him against
it. Accordingly the bust of Miss Byron, a celebrated
beauty and virtuous lady, was adopted in its stead. This
coin is esteemed a gem.
LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC.
A scientific soiree was held by Dr. Mantell on Clap-
ham Common last week-250 persons were present.
Of Literary Ambassadors, three have of late been very
eminent men, viz. Niebuhr, the historian at the Court of
Rome; Dr. Bunser, his successor, author of " The Ro-
man Forum," whose wife, Madame Bunsen, is an English-
woman, and one of the co-heiresses of a wealthy Welsh
iron-master, the other daughter married Sir Benjamin
Hall, the Member for Marylebone ; and, lastly, Mr. Eve-
rett, one of the most distinguished of the American
literati, the new Minister for the Cabinet of the United
States.

NAVAL AND MILITARY.

Forty convicts for a penal colony, as also those for
Van Diemen's Land, were embarked on board the Isa-
belle, on Saturday, for transportation.

LAW AND POLICE.

At the Thames Police Court Archibald Leslie, a
Scotchman, about thirty years of age, of respectable ap-
pearance and good address, was committed to take his
trial for defrauding Michael Henry Hart, a Jew slop-
seller, of 201. in goods and cash, by means of a forged
order, partly written and partly printed, purporting to
be an award in favour of William Bouch, by the British
and Portuguese Mixed Commission, for his services
during the war of liberation in Portugal.
William Robinson was also committed to Newgate, on
the charge of administering oxalic acid to his wife in the
town of Greenwich on Christmas eve. It did not appear
that the unfortunate woman had taken any of the poison,
but as she was dying of consumption her deposition was
taken by the Magistrate.
At Union-hall yesterday William Yates, a man ad-
vanced in yeurs, was brought before Mr. Trail!, charged
with obtaining various sums of money by means of forged
cheques, from several charitable institutions, amongst
which were those of the Magdalen Hospital, the London
Asylum for the Protection of Young Females, the Found-
ling Hospital, and the Seamen's Hospital. He was soon
recognized by Mr. Knevit, the Secretary to theMendi-
city Society, as the notorious begging letter-writer, and
had been discharged from gaol only about a week before
he changed his made of " doing business." After one
case had been proved against him, the forging of the
name of Sir H. Fletcher, of Ashley Park, Walton-on-
Thames, he was remanded fur a week.

FOREIGN.

The French Court took up its residence at the Tui-
leries for the season on Wednesday.
The Arabian horses sent by the Pacha of Egypt to
the King of the French arrived on Tuesday at the
Turkish embassy. They are eight in number, and
one of them is said to be the horse which Ibrahim
Pacha rode at the battle of Nezib. Although very
warmly clothed, they appear to hive suffered from the
cold since their arrival in France.

The fog, which has enveloped Paris for some days
past, extended, it appears, to a considerable distance
in the country, and rendered travelling exceedingly
dangerous. On Tuesday evening the fog in Paris
was for some time more intense than on the preceding
days.
A new Government steamer, of 120 horse power,
called the Napoleon, and intended for the 'conveyance
of the mail to Bastia, was launched at Havre on
Tuesday. She is the first French steamer to which
the principle of the Archimedes screw has been
applied. She was built by M. Normand, of Havre,
but her engines are English, from the factory of
Mr. Barnes.

No accounts have been received yet of the surrender
of Barcelona. The latest particulars will be found
under that head.

The municipality of Barcelona was, before the in-
surrection, 4,000,000 reals in arrear for the payment
of contributions, and was closely pressed by the
finance intendant of the province for the payment.
Since then these insurgents have squandered the four
millions of reals found in the provincial treasury.
The Constitucional of the 30th publishes a pro-
clamation of Van Halen to the Barcelonese, dated the
26th, from his head-quarters at Esplugas de Lobregat.
It states that the insurrectional movement had been
essayed and put down at Vich and Girona, and calls
upon the insurgents to submit at once to the leg-ai-
-1 mate Government.

The Prussian State Gazette of the 2d inst. publishes
a Cabinet order to the following effect :—The reduc-
tion of taxes, which had been fixed at from 1,500,000
to:1,600,000 rix dollars, is, with the consent of the
Committees of she Provincial States, raised to
2,000,000 rix dollars, to commence Ist January next.
Prince Alexander Ghika, on the 26th of October
last, signed his formal abdication of the sovereignty of
Wallachia, in compliance, as the document states,
with the will of the high protecting Powers, and re-
mitted the Government into the hands of the Kaima-
kans appointed by the Sublime Porte.
The Memorial des Pyrenees says :—" It is affirmed
that, in consequence of the serious events which are
now taking place in Catalonia, the French Govern-
ment has decided that a corps of observation shall be
formed on that part of our frontiers which borders on
that province. Forces are going to be sent towards
Perpignan."

UTILITY or SClENCE.—Science recommends itself
to all classes of mankind by its practical utility, and
by the numerous advantages and benefits which it
continually brings to light. To expatiate on the im-
portance and the benefits of scientific research and
discovery would be superflnous; and it will be suffi-
cient to select from the mass of facts a single illus-
tration to prove the advantages which its investiga-
tion confer on mankind. We would therefore, select
the " Odonto, or Pearl Dentifrice," prepared by
Messrs. Rowland, of Hatton-garden, and of Macassar
Oil Celebrity, as constituting at once an indispensable
requisite for the:toilet ; and an instance of the success
of scientific research in discovering
an infallible pre
servative of those indispensable attributes of beauty
the teeth and gums, in balmy fragrance, freshness,
and beauty

SMITHFIELD.

In to-day's markets, the number of beasts offering
were by no means larger for the time of year, bu
by far more than adequate to meet the wants of the
buyers ; hence the Beef trade was very dull at barely
stationary prices. There were 12 Beasts from Spain,
and 50 Scots, by sea, from Scotland, in fair condition,
but the general quality of the Bullock supply was
inferior. With Sheep we were scantily supplied, yet
the demand for them was slow, at unaltered
quotations. Calves were by no means numerous,
while the inquiry for them was considerably re-
novated, at an improvement in prices of quite 2d per
81bs. In pigs, a fair amount of business was passing,
at full prices. Milch Cows were a mere drug, and
produced low figures, say from 16/ to 1915 s each, in-
cluding their small calf.
London, England, 1842-12-10

The Learned Counsel for the defendant said, that he
was glad the case had been herd in that Court, and
that the expense would only be a little different from
what it would have been if judgment had gone by
default, and the case had been heard before the
Under Sheriff. He was afraid the Learned Gentle-
man's client would not find such to be the case, and
he was desirous that it should not go forth to the
public that persons were not doing themselves any
injury by proceeding to trial in the superior Courts,
when they had no grounds of defence to offer. He
thought a Sheriff and a Sheriff's Jury would have
done ample enough justice in the present case.
The question now was, whether they thought the
plaintiff entitled to any damages at all beyond those
nominal damages which every person was entitled to
in cases of this nature, where there was no justifi-
cation.
The Jury retired to consider the verdict at one
o'clock, and at half-past four o'clock returned a verdict
for plaintiff—Damages, 40s.
