FRENCI I PAPERS.
(From the Journal des Debats.)
PARIS, DEC. 23.—The Tribunal of Correctional
Police of Versailles yesterday gave judgment in the
case of M. Moritt, Curate of the English Protestant
church established in that city, who brought an ac-
tion for defamation against three other English
Clergymen, Messrs. Cowling, Hervey, and Cald-
well. The substance of the judgment was, that
placards put up, and writings published and distri-
buted by the defendants, present altogether allega-
tions which, though not containing facts, were of a
nature calculated to bring a stigma on the honour of
M. Moritt, and that therefore the defendants were
guilty of defamation. But taking into considera-
tion the motives which seemed to have actuated the
defendants, and the steps they had taken to require
an explanation from the plaintiff, and finding the
want of proof of injury done to him, the Tribunal.
condemned each of the defendants to 50 francs fine,
and the three together to 150 francs damages to the
complainant.

(From the Moniieur. )

Notwithstanding the breaking off of the negotia-
tions trariquillity has not been disturbed, and the re-
lations between the Porte and the subjects of the
Allied Powers are not broken. The French, Eng-
lish; and Russian rnerchaqts, will not be disturbed.
At Constantinople they will remain under the pro-
tection of the Ambassador of the Netherlands, and
thus if any new means present themselves of a mu-
tual understanding on the Greck Question, they will
not fail to he taken advantage of. The Powers who
signed the Treaty of London, who are only occupied
with the general interests of society, have declared
in Article sth of the Treaty, that the; seek no aug-
mentation of territoty, eo es elusive influence—no
advantages of commerce for their subjects which
thnae of any other natidh may not equally obtain.
iroW can war break out with such dispositions ?
On shei.- side, the Turks have no interest in exposing
thernsoves to the terrible consequences of an aggres-
sion, whleh nothing seems to announce on their part.
(From the Constitutionnel.)
(I.Riv ATE CORRESPONDENCE
. Ltspos,t, DEI/4:. 8.-We are informed that the
Princess de Beira, and her son, the Infant Don
Sebastian, will quit the Court of Spain to fix their
residence at Lisbon: Our Absolutists already sec in
' this Princess an Envoy of iFerdinand, to prevail, if
possible, on Don Miguel to enter once more on the
right way. The marriage of the Marquis de Loule
with the youngest of our Princesses, still forms the
subject: of every conversation, both at Court and in
the city; but we are informed that, to put an end to
all reports, and for other reasons, the new married
pair are about to embark and fix their residence in
the United States. It is also said that the Queen
Dowager has given the young Princess all the pre-
cious stones which she received at the death of
King John, who was the wealthiest King, in pre-
cious stones, in Europe, and one of the wealthiest
also in money and bullion. The merchant brig,
Santa Rita has just arrived from i'sio ideeiro, with
despatches for Government.
MADRID, DEC. 13.—Amongst the papers which
were seized at the house of M. Saes, President of
the Royal Court of Grenada, there were some which
give important and very serious news respecting the
affair of the Intendent Marco del Pont, who, accord-
ing to the new documents, will be obliged to give an
account to the Apostolics for about 18 millions of
reals, which he had received to forward the revolu-
tion in Catalonia and in different parts of the king-
dom. But a circumstance which is still more re-
markable, and which throws new light on the sub-
ject is, that amongst the papers seized are found a
number of notes accounting for the exchange of con-
siderable sums both of French and Spanish money,
which leads to the belief that the money received by
M. Marco del Pont had quite a different origin than
that of the Spanish Apostolics.

(From the Quotidienne.)

:NIAILSEILLES, DEC. Ill.—Piracy still continues in
the Levant. The Greek corsairs appear anxious to
profit by the time in making prizes, which two
months hence it will be difficult for them to effect.
A letter from Genoa states the following :—" A
united States ship has been pillaged. The Com-
inande.r of that country's station being informed of
this fact, arid that the pirates had taken refuge at
Caraboura, entered that port and destroyed seven
armed ship."
A convoy of from eight to ten vessels has arrived
bee from Cyprus, Alexandria, and other ports of the
Levtoit. Those of Alexandria left that city on the
7th of N,vemher. The affair of Navarin had caused
a momentacy effervescence, which the firmness of the
Pacha soon calmed; but it is apprehended that it
Trill not be the same at Cairo and other places of the
interior, where the enemies of innovation are more
numerous and influential.
The French station before Algiers has been forti-
fied ; yet, notwithstanding the most active vigilance,
some corsairs escaped, which, however, did not
make any captures. All the ships going into the
interior, and beyond the Straits, leave Marseilles
twice a month, under an escort, which consists of
only two vessels, one for the front and another for
the rear of the convoy.

PARIS, DEC. 2.4.—Jep del Estangs, who played
so distinguished a part in the affairs of Catalonia, ar-
rived on the 15th at Perpignan. He is advanced in
Years, and by no means answering in exterior to the
reputation he has acquired. lie seems without any
resources, and in a state of great depression. It is
said he will be sent into the interior of the kingdom,
like other refugees.

(From the Journal the Commerce of Alonday.)

MADRID, DEC. 12.—The police employs great
activity to intercept the information from Catalonia ;
'but it is known here that Chivert and another chief
of a band have united a considerable body. Three
',hundred men have been sent to destroy them. The
tt own of Ulldecona, five leagues from Tortosa,
revolted on the 4th inst. A strong detachment has
been sent to restore order.
- -

The Gazette de Augsburg publishes two letters,
one of the 30th November, and the other of the
26th inst., stating,. that at St. Petersburgh every
thing 1001{S warlike, and a rupture with Turkey is
inevitable,

It is affirmed again that Fignieras and other
points in Catatonia, still occupied by the French,
will be evacuated in two months. Other persons
state, that the evacuation of Spain will be complete.
MADRID, DEC. 13.--M. Tader Gil, our Corregidor,
ad interim General of Police, has received orders to
cause to leave Madrid all persons being suspected,
and th: same order has been put into execution by
the Courit Espagne, at Barcelona; but this Magis-
trate returned an answer, saying that as no suspicions
or complaints were on his list, he should not put that
order into execution, and if he shonld be compelled
to put it into force he would resign. Yesterday left
this city a covered waggon, which was escorted by
a strong detachment of infantry and cavalry of the
royal guard ; it contained two millions of reals, it
is said for the purpose of repairing the roads from
Catalonia to Saragossa, at which they have been
working for some time past.

The floods have been out in every direction
this week. The whole vale of Arundel has been one vast
expanse of water, reaching in every direction as far as the
rye can discern. Few sights can be conceived finer than
that presented by the town of Arundel, with its princely
castle crowning the height above and looking proudly on
the shining surface beneath. The causeway has been co-
vered for a considerable extent with water, and the coaches
lave had to travel through it to a depth of at least two
feet. In some places in the vicinity the inundation is still
beyond Arundel the water
much as ten feet deep. The

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2/, 1827.

The contents of the Paris Morning Papers of
Monday, which reached us last night, had, been
anticipated by the Gazette de France, which we
received in the morning by Express. We have
nevertheless given a few extracts from them in
another column. The Moniteur takes great
pains to convince its readers that as the Powers
who signed the Treaty of London are only oc-
cupied with the general interests of society, and
have declared that they seek no augmentation of
territory, no exclusive influence, and no connner-
cial advantages for their subjects which those of
other nations may not obtain, war cannot break out
with such dispositions. The writer of that
article can know little of the history of mankind
to suppose that nations are not frequently in-
fluenced, as well'as individuals, by selfish views,
and that previous protestations of honourable in-
tentions are oftentimes forgotten, when opportunity
favours the gratification of a long sought for ob-
ject. If Russia should not avail herself of
the golden opportunity which she will probably
have, she will at least exhibit a proof that the
moral conduct of her Government has greatly
improved within the last few years.

We have inserted in another column a Report
made by the Directors of the Bank of Lisbon to
the General Assembly of Shareholders, which
met on the 11th inst., The necessity of sus-
pending payments appears to have arisen entirely
from the transactions between the Government
and the Bank. The last loan by the latter to
the former being evidently the cause of its em-
barrassments.

We received last night Hamburgh Papers to
the 18th inst. inclusive ; they contain no politi-
cal news whatever, excepting a statement, on the
authority of letters from Toplis, that the Russian
troops have entered the city of Khir or Khoi.
Accounts from Cronstadt mention that the navi-
gation was closed by the frost on the 29th ult.,
which had set in so strongly that an English ship
had been surrounded by ice and frozen in about
eight miles from Cronstadt. The following are.
extracts :

MEININGEN, DEc. 2.—Three Commissions are at pre-
sent assembled at Gotha. Two of them are composed of
deputies from the Courts of Coburn-, Altenburg, and Mei-
ningen, for the regulation of severalb affairs relative to the
Finance and War Departments, since the change of Go-
vernment in the principalities of Gotha and Altenburg.
The third is rather of a peculiar kind. The late Ministry
of Gotha and Altenburg insured the life of the deceased
Duke Ferdinand IV., for a laudable object, in some Lon-
don insurance offices. Since the sudden death of the
Duke, one of these companies thought itself injured, and
on being called before a Court of Justice, sent commis-
sioners of its own to Gotha to collect upon the spot argu-
ments to support its refusal to pay the sums insured. The
decision in an English Court of Justice is expected next year.
ST. PETERSEURGH, DEC. s.—According to accounts
from the Custom-house at Cronstadt, the navigation was
closed for this year on the 29th November.
An English three-masted ship, lately arrived, was sur-
rounded by ice eight miles from Cronstadt. Since the
commencement of the navigation, the number of ships ar-
rived at Cronstadt was 1;243.
ST. PETERSBURCII, DEC. B.—On the 341 of this month
Mr.Omns Morgan, an English traveller, and Dr.
Granville, physician to his Royal Highness the Duke of
Clarence, had the honour to be presented to the Emperor
and Empress Mother.
Letters from Toplis say, that our troops have entered
the city of Khir. The official despatches of General
Paskewitsch, relative to this event, hays not yet been
received.

STOCKHOLM, DEC. 7.-The Court has put on mourning
for three weeks, fin• the late Queen of Saxony.
The Aulic Chamber has lately brought an action against
the Journal, called the Wesby Argus.
At the end of last week several more ships were stranded
on our coast.

Madame Catalani, after leaving this city, had the mis-
fortune to be overturned in her carriage on the road to
Jonkopping ; however, she received no injury.
WIESBADEN, DEC. B.—All subjects of the Duke of
Nassau are prohibited to play at the game of Hazard of any
description, under heavy fines ; and on a repetition of the
offence, hard labour in the House of Correction. Only at
the baths and watering places these games continue to be
permitted, under certain restrictions.

The Allgenzeine Zeitung, of the 20th instant,
has reached us this morning. It contains the
following article, from Corfu, giving on authority
of commercial letters from Alexandria, an ac-
count of the effect which the news of the battle
of Navarin had on the PACHA. We know,
however, on better authority, that he has acted

with great propriety towards English residents—
and the interests of our countrymen generally.
The Austrian Funds are rather lower :

CORFU, NOV. 25.

According to merchants' letters from Alexandria, the
first news of the battle of Navarin was brought there by a
Sardinian merchantman. Though the declaration of the
Sardinian Captain, respecting this event, was not wholly
credited, the European Consuls however judged it advisable
to take their measures accordingly, and to give notice of it
to the merchants of their nation, recommending secrecy, in
order that they might be prepared for every possible event,
put their affairs in order. About 50 ships which had
completed their cargoes immediately put to sea, and even
several which were not laden left the harbour. The
Government received the bad news officially some time after-
wards. The first impression which it made on the Viceroy
is said to have been accompanied with a fainting fit, and to
have made him keep in his private chambers, where he
could be persuaded to speak to nobody but to his physi-
cian: At the expiration of that time, he sent to invite the
English Consul to come from Alexandria, who at first is
,uid to have made some difficulties; but on the persuasion
of the French Consul, who accompanied him, he went to
Cairo. The reception of these gentlemen at Cairo is said
not to have been the most agreeable, which may be easily
imagined.' After the Viceroy had given vent 'to his
ill humour in bitter reproaches, and beeome a little
cooler, lie expressed his opinions respecting the situa-
tion of the empire, his own connection with foreign
Powers, and patticularly with England and France, whose
policy he severely blamed. Mahomet Ali declared that he
could not form any clear notions of the Allied Powers, nor
find, either in the interests of policy or commerce, any ex-
cuse for this conduct. He saw nothing but passion and
intolerance in the Christian Cabinets. He was averse to
entering upon this career, but would know how to defend
his own interests and those of his nation; and in case no
indemnity was given him for the loss of his fleet, he would
take such measures as would be severely felt by England
and France. He dismissed the two Consuls with the com-
mission to signify to their Governments how indignant he
was at the event at Navarin ; and that, till he receives entire
indemnity, all property belonging to the Allied Nations
would be sequestrated, and a general embargo ordered. At
the same time expresses were sent to the Morea and Con-
stantinople. Since then several French ships of war have
been seen off Alexandria.

The news that the Russian Admiral (Count Heyden)
has sailed to Smyrna is not confirmed : he is gone to
Malta, where he will repair his ships, and perhaps re-
main for the winter.

Dutch Papers to the 22d inst. inclusive, have
also come to hand this forenoon. They contain
nothing but the following account of the
proceedings in the Second Chamber of the
States General :

SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL.
HAGUE, DEC. 20.

In this sitting the debates on the branches of the budget,
were concluded, several Members having spoken both for and
against them. The proposed laws were afterwards de-
fended by the Ministers of Marine, the Interior, and
Finance, after which the question was put on the three
laws in the following order:—
I. On the law fixing the sum to be applied in 1828, in
the redemption of the debt.—Adopted by a majority of
96 to 4.

11. On the law fixing • the expenditure for 1828.
Adopted by a majority of 77 to 23.
111. On the law fixing the Ways and Means.—Adopted
by a majority of 84 to 16.
The laws so adopted will be immediately sent to the
First Chamber. The Chamber; adjourned to the 16th of
January next. We learn from the Helder, that on Satur-
day evening, a fire broke out in a wooden building, in
the Nieuive Dich, which might have been very injurious to
the National Dock Yards, hut was happily extinguished by
the crew of his Majesty's ship Zealand, and the fire engines
from the Helder. Colonel Gustafson (the late King of
ilweden), who has passed some time at Haarlem, has left
that place, and is gone to Leyden.
AMSTERDAM, DEC. 21.---Exchange on London, 11

His Majesty's packet brig, Tyrian, has ar-
rived with the Mexican mail. She sailed from
Vera Cruz on the 25th October, and from the
flavannah on the 15th November.

A Quebec Paper of the 22d ult. (one day
later) has been received at the North and South
American Coffee-house. The following is a
copy of the Address of the Provincial Parliament,
of Lower Canada, to his Excellency the Go-
vernor, Lord DALHOUSIE. The HIGSSeDgerS
who went up with it to the Castle received for
answer, however, that his Excellency would not
communicate with the House before Friday :

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY,--WC, his Ma-
jesty's dutiful and loyal subjects the Asseinlly of Lower
Canada, in Provincial Parliament assembled, having taken
into our most serious consideration the communication
made to us by the Speaker of the Legislative Council, by
order of your Excellency, respecting our choice of a Speaker,
humbly beg your Excellency to be fully assured that we
sincerely respect the rights of his Msjesty and his Royal
prerogative, which we acknowledge to be annexed to his
Imperial Crown for the benefit and protection of his
people. We are fully assured, that your Excellency
could intend nothing which could destroy or dimi-
nish our constitutional privileges, without which we
cannot fulfil our important duties towards his Majesty
and his people of this Province ; and in this persuasion,
we in all humility submit to your Excellency that it is the
incontestable right of the Commons of this Province, to
have the free election of one of their Members to be their
Speaker, and perform the duty of their House. That the
Speaker so elected, and afterwards presented to the King's
Representative according to usage, ought always in
uniform practice to be continued as Speaker, and fulfil
his office as such, unless he be therefrom excused
from corporeal infirmity, alledged by himself, or on his
behalf, in full provincial Parliament : that according to
that usage Louis J. Papineau, Esq. has been duly elected
and chosen in consideration of his great ability and fitness,
of which we have had experience during several Parlia.-
ments, and has been by us presented to your Excellency
as a person worthy our confidence, and who, we
conceived, .would be agreeable to your Excellency ;
for which reasons we humbly hope that your Excellency,
after having considered the old precedents would be pleased
to remain satisfied with our proceedings, and not deprive us
of the services of the said Louis Joseph Papineau, as our
Speaker; but that your Excellency would be pleased to
give us a favourable answer, such as his Majesty and his
Royal predecessors have ever given to their faithful Com-
mons in such cases, in order that we may be enabled to
proceed, without further delay, to the despatch of the im-
portant and arduous affairs for which we are convoked, in
which we hope to give convincing proofs of our affections
fin• the King's service, and of our solicitude for the peace
awl welfare of this province.

On the 21st the resolutions were proposed and
seconded, that it is necessary, for the discharge
of the duties imposed by the House, to give its
advice to his MAJESTY on the enactment for the
laws, for the peace, welfare, and good govern-
ment of the Provinces, conformably to the Act
of British Parliament under which it is con-
stituted and assembled ; that its Speaker be a
person of its free choice, independently of the
will and pleasure of the person entrusted by his
MAJESTY with the Administration of the local
Government for the time being; that Louis J.
PAPINEAU, one of the Members of this House,
who has served in six successive Parliaments,
has been duly chosen by this House to be its
Speaker in the present Parliament.

idly.—That the Act of the British Parliament, under
which this House is constituted and assembled, does not

require the approbaiioft of such periiiri et Dien as Speaker
by the person administrating the Govertiment of this pro-
vince in the name of his MAJESTY.

4thly.—That our presenting of the per on so elected as
Speaker to the King's 'Representative for approval is
founded on usage only, and that such approval is, and has
always been, a matter of course.

sthly.—That this House doth persist in its choice, and
that the said Louis JOSEPH PAPIHEAIb Esq. ought to be,
and is its Speaker.
After some discussion the nods() was ad-
journed till the following day, when the above
Resolutions were taken into consideration. The
Solicitor-General moved the previous question
—shall the question be now put ? upon which
the House divided—Yeas 41, Noes 4. The
Solicitor-General moved the previous question
on the subsequent resolutions, which were car-
ried, and also the main question, in favour of
each of the resolutions by the same division.
Upon the fifth Resolution being passed, Mr.
PAi-rWEAU was again conducted to the Chair
as Speaker, and the four opposing Members
retired.

A humble Address to the above effect was
moved to his Excellency the GOVERNOR-IN-
CHIEF, which was unanimously agreed to, and
the House adjourned.

Gibraltar Chronicles of the 6th (three days
later than our last advices) have been received,
but they contain nothing worth extracting.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TIVBSVK 0' CLOCK.

The English Funds have been rather uneasy this
morning; Consols opened at the same rate they
closed at yesterday, 831 became sellers at 4, but
have since recovered to 84, buyers, and are now
83i 4 for account; Reduced are 83. We have no
fresh intelligence which is likely to affect the Turkish
question, but news is expected hourly. India Bonds
are 80 ; and Exchequer Bills, 52 4 pm.
In the Foreign Funds Mexican Bonds have at-
tracted the more particular notice of speculators. It
was known in the evening of yesterday, by express,
that his Majesty's packet, the Tyrian, had arrived at
Falmouth from Vera Cruz, but as she sailed a week
or eight days before advices received from thenee
via the United States, she has brought nothing new;
the letters by her are only to the 12th Oct. from the
City ofvas daily x

Conducta, for the conveyance of specie, would start
at the end of the month. Our next arrivals from the
United States will supply information as late as the
15th November; in the mean time the Bonds have
fluctuated considerably, having been done as low,
last night, as 44k, sellers, and this morning at 444,
since which they have been 464, buyers, and may
now be quoted at 451. Russian and Danish Stock
appear to be drooping, the former being 894 90k,
and the latter 584 94; Colombian, 26k 74; and

The brig Spring, lately stranded near Bognor,
became a complete wreck during the heavy gales and high
tides of last week.—Brighton Paper.
Last week we stated that the flood was of such
a height as had not been known for many years, but a few
days afterwards it rose much higher. A horse belonging
to Mr. KNIGHT, of Off ham, wasleft in a field near Ham-
sey church, being supposed quite safe from the tides and
floods, but during their height the horse was surrounded,
and iu the morning was not to be seen, nor did there re-
main any traces of the favourite animal. It was of course
suppoeed he was drowned, but he was at last observed full
a quarter of a mile from the place, on the other side of the
river, on the farm of Mr. GRANTHAM at Stoneham, so that
he must have swam across to the distance of nearly a quar-
ter of a mile.-.—Brighton Paper,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.)

BOW-STREET.
The amateur Charley named Pearson, who figured
at Guildhall a few days since, made his appearatice
this morning in the unwatchman-like character of a
defendant. He presented in his appearance a most
successful satire upon " the sons of night," being
completely accoutred with coat, staff, lantern, trc.
On the back of his coat was a patch bearing that
imperative mandate, " move on," beneath which
was inscribed, " No. GO, Paternoster-row." The
complainant appeared in the person Of the Chair-
man of the Watch Committee' of St. Clement
Danes, who with due solemnity related that he had
given all the watchmen notice that he should visit
them last night.
Sir R. BIRNIE—You had better have visited them
without.

Complainant acquiesced, and further stated that
he found the defendant actually talking with a watch-
man, and on telling him to go to his beat that he
received an irreverend answer, and delivered him
into the clutches of a legitimate watchman as an
impostor.
To this ponderous charge the " gay deceiver" re-
plied, that he had lately published a book called
" The Nightly Watch," with a view of amending
the state of the watch in the city. He had called
them Charleys, and they in consequence took him
on the first opportunity before his Worship at Guild-
hall, who told him to " move on." He did so; and
took that as his motto on the back of what he called
his advertising coat.
Mr. MINSIIULL was of opinion that he might
move off; but Mr. HALLS said he did not think
it trifling for a man to assume the garb of a
watchman, and interrupting others in their
duty. Sir R. BIRNIE inquired if he had been
collecting Christmas-boxes, as he had heard that
two or three impostors were playing off that hoax.
He replied that he had been a sailor, and knew
that a man could not keep his eyes open, both night
and day, or live on 16s. per week. He produced
his book, and with the most amusing naivete asked,
" Will you accept of a book, Sir Richard ?" The
latter replied, that he would not, but would buy i.

Pearson—Ah do, Sir Richard, that will pay my

IMPROVENIENT.-RISE IN THE RENT OF
LAND.—During the time that Lord ERROL held the lease
of Callender estate, this extent of ground, consisting rf
nearly 500 acres, was totally covered with furze and broom.
His Lordship offered a long lease of it to a smith in Fal-
kirk at 2s. 6d. per acre, on condition that he would' clear
it from all encumbrance, and render it arable. The offer
was rejected, from a conviction that it would he a losing
concern. The progressive advance of the rent of land is
truly astonishing. The land above mentioned now lets
for Si. 41. and Si. per acre. What will equally astonish
is, that about forty years ago Lord ERROL paid only a rent
of 7801. for the whole estate of Callender, with power to
cut down and sell as much timber as he pleased; and
at the present day, this estate draws at least 20,0001.

THE LATE DUKE OF NORFOLK.-If some-
times happened, at the close of the evening, that the Duke,
without exhibiting any symptom of inebriety, became im-
moveable in his chair, as if deprived,of all muscular voli-
tion. He would then request the bell to be rang three
times ; this was a signal for bringing in a kind of easy
litter, consisting of four equidistant belts, fastened together
by a transverse one, which four domestics placed under
him, and thus removed his enormous bulk, with a gentle
swinging motion, up to his apartment. Upon these occa-
sions, the Duke would say nothing ; but the whole thing
was managed with great system, and in perfect silence.—

HORRID MURDER AT BARNET.—Between
nine and ten o'clock this morning, a most extraordinary
sensation was created in Barnet and the adjacent places, by
the discovery of a most barbarous murder, perpetrated in a
lodging-house, kept by a person named NEAL, at the foot
of Barnet-hill. Yesterday two men, apparently acquainted,
came to the house and engaged a bed, to which they retired
in a very short time, after partaking of some refreshments.
About half-past eight this morning, one of them, who, from
his accent, was known to be an Irishman, left the apart-
ment alone, and, in a hurried manner, wished good
morning," and left the house without his neckerchief, and
his stockings about his heels. Some surprise being excited
by his behaviour, one of the family entered the apartment,
and found the other unfortunate man weltering in his blood,
and exhibiting a most horrid spectacle, the throat being cut
from ear to ear, and life completely extinct. As soon as
the terror and astonishment, caused by this terrific spec-
tacle, had in some degree subsided, messengers were de-
spatched in all directions, and a man answering the de-
scription of the supposed murderer was traced, by a re-
spectable resident of Barnet, named FIELD, as far as the
Bull, at Highgate, where, from the numerous branching
roads, all track was lost. The suspected individual was
spoken to on the road by a farmer, but hurried on without
giving an answer,apparently endeavouring to conceal his face.
lip to 12 o'clock no further discovery had taken place, but
every exertion is making for the apprehension of the mur-
derer, who cannot possibly, front the circumstance of his
travelling on foot, have proceeded any great distance.—
The parties being entire strangers, and having apparently
travelled some distance, leaves the sanguinary deed envelop-
ed in mystery, it not being known whether plunder,
revenge, or what other motive actuated the perpetratror.
At one o'clock, no further clue was discovered.

A SCENE AT C--'s.

" ' I tell you,' said the porter, ' Mr. C— don't
come here now.'

" `I know he does,' said a squalid and emaciated
being, shablq-genteelly dressed.
" ' I say he does not,' said the porter, ' and if you
do not go away, I will give you in charge of the
watch.'

" ' Do, if you dare,' said the unfortunate gen-
leman. _

....
"'Oh ! you shall soon see that,' said the two
porters, at the same time thrusting the ruined man
through the passage.
" 6 Now, what is it you want ?' said one of the
waiters in private clothes, coming from one of the
coffee-rooms, upon hearing the scuttle.
"'I am Major —,' said the gentleman, and'-
6" Ah ! ah ! ah ! yes, that is Major —,' inter-
rupted the porters.
"' Don't insult the Major,' said the waiter,—
' shut the door, and leave him to me. Now, Major,
tell me what it is you want ?'
" ' I am ruined by play,' said the poor Major.—
' I lost to Mr. C— 's bank full .5001. lam in great
distress. I wrote to Mr. C— to lend me 21. and

I left the letter myself. I stated I should call to-
night at 10 o'clock for an answer. I have been
here half a dozen times, and I meet with nothing
but indignity and insult. I will not put up with it.'
'• I will speak to Mr. C— to-morrow upon the
subject, he cannot be disturbed now,' said the
waiter. Go away quietly—that's a good man:
" I must, and will have an answer to-night,' said
the Major, for I have no bed to go to.'
" ' Well,' said the waiter, if you will go away
and make no more noise, I will give you ss. out of
my own pocket.'
" The Major's distress was so pressing, that he
accepted the money and went away, saying he would
call again to-morrow.
4" You're a precious fool,' said one of the porters,
' to go for to give money out of your own pocket.'
" ' Oh ! C-- will return it to me,' said the
waiter, and give me something besides, for getting
rid of the Major upon such easy terms.'
" Vhat vas all that noise about ?' inquired Mr.
C-- (who had been sent for in the midst of it),
of the waiter.

_ .
«' It was Major --, Sir, wanting 2/., which he
wrote for yesterday,' replied the waiter.
" Veil, give him a sovereign vhca he comes
again,' said Mr. C-; upon which Mr. C-
returned up stairs.
" While the noise continued, all the doors were
kept closed to prevent any thing being overheard by
the members. As it was, it did not wholly escape
notice.

"' What did that fel-lowe want ?' said the Hon
George Foppery, who arrived just at the moment.
" Oh, it vas only a poor man, Sir,' replied Mr.
C—, who vas very drunk, and had lost his way.
I have just given the poor fellow a sovereign to get
rid of him.' "—Life in the West.

* Transferred to the Customs.

NOTE.—Several articles were transferred from the Ex-
cise to the Customs in 1825, which occasions the great
diminution in the Excise, and the increase in the Customs,

We understand that a further exportation of
about 180,000 ounces of silver coin took place on
.Satur-
day last, by a vessel which left the river for Calais on tbat
day. There was also 2,000 ounces of gold bullion sent to
Rotterdam at the same time. Nearly the whole of the
abovequantity has been shipped through the medium of an
agent of Mr. Rorkscim.n.

At one of the largest and most respectable
Catholic Meetings we have known in this county for seve•
ral years past, held at Killarney, the Pith ult , the Earl of
KENMORE in the Chair, a Resolution was unanimously
agreed to, signifying the determination of the Meeting, to
support the Knight of KERRY, whenever a contest for the
representation of the county shall take place, in such a
manner as to secure his return without expense.

Between eight and nine o'clock on Tuesday
evening the neighbourhood of Hatton-wall was thrown
into the utmost confusion and terror by a loud and terrific
explosion, which forced the glass from the windows, and
created the most serious fears in the minds of the inhabi-
tants. In a few seconds it was ascertained that the report
proceeded from the interior of the Prince of Orange wine-
vaults, which in an instant was enveloped in utter dark-
ness, and filled with a dense smoke, As soon as lights
could be procured, the interior of the bar presented a scene
of indescribable confusion, Mrs. DEIGHTON, the landlady,
being in a state of insensibility from the force of the shock,
the windows and blinds shivered in splinters, the flooring
raised several inches, and covered with fragments of
broken decanters, bottles, and glasses. At this moment a
young man rushed up stairs from 'the cellar, in a state of
partial suffocation, and begged some person would hasten
to the assistance of the landlord, of whose fate he was
quite ignorant. Two or three individuals cautiouslz. de-
scended, and after some search, found Mr. DEIGHTON ex-
tended on the ground, which had been forced up around
him, apparently lifeless. He was instantly taken up
stairs, and medical assistance procured, and in a few se-
conds symptoms of returning animation became visible,, he
having fortunately received only a contusion in the fore-
head and a lacerated nose. His account of this eitraor-
dinary transaction is, that having some business in the
ale-cellar, he went down, accompanied by a friend (the
person who gave the alarm), and was examining an
ale cask, when suddenly he felt the ground shake be-
neath Isis feet, and in an instant lie was thrown across
the cellar, and with the violence of the shock became de-
prived of all sense. His companion, Mr. BRAND was
twice knocked down in endeavouring to escape by the stairs,
and has completely lost his hearing on one aisle. A person
who was at the bar at the moment, received so severe a
shock, that he still lies dangerously ill; three clocks in
the house were also instantly stopped by the concussion;
and x fire. grate at some distance was forced from its setting,
On examining the cellar, the ground was ascertained to
have been forced up several feet, full butts were forced
from their stations, a portion of the wall thrown down,
and a most foetid vapour pervading the whole cellar; but no
immediate cause could be assigned for the accident, which
was fortunately attended with no fatal consequences. The
premises were inspected by the Superintendent of the City
Gas Works in Dorset-street, Salisbury-square, and in his
opinion the accident could not have been caused by the
gas, of which there was no appearance of escape, and which
acted as usual on being re-lighted. On the other hand,
the cellar was in constant use, therefore no reason can
exist for supposing it to have arisen from the evaporation
of pent-up vapours. A lighted candle had also been in
the cellar nearly the whole of the afternoon. A further
examination of the main, branches, Scc., connected with
the gas supply will take plaCe immediately, such a cis corn-
stance being very likely to create an unfavourable and
ungrounded prejudice in the minds of the public. The
shock was felt at a considerable distance.
