THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER-
CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis),
POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex-
clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c.
&c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying eur material
so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through-
out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles
that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference
to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver
supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE. C. WATSON (late ALDERMAN)
41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the araal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chemical process, by which all that is nauseous in mixed metals is
entirely extracted—resist ng all acids, may be cleaned u Silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board.

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his own, and that. silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there-
fore have no difficulty in discovi ring the animus which directs
the virulent attacks made against him, by a party who is daliy
offiving from the unparalleled success which has marked the
progress of His New Plate since its introduction. C. W.,
unlike this party, courts comparison, feeling confident that the
result will establish its pre-eminence.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.
GLOBE.—The intelligence received this morn-
ing from the disturbed districts is of a character
which will, on the whole, be regarded its satis-
factory. The large military force now distri-
buted throughout the principal scenes of actual
or threatened outrage, and the generally judi-
cious and energetic arrangements of the local
authorities, have succeeded in awing the
insurgents into abstinence from further open
outragss. The preservation of property
from the extensive destruction that was
threatened early in the week, and the truly gra-
tifying escape from any considerable conflict be-
tween the military and the mobs—these are
sources of satisfaction in which all will partici-
pate. They relieve the public mind from much
of the anxiety so deeply felt at the commence-
ment of the disturbances; and justify hope
that the portentous appearances of determined
resistance to authority, which were at first
exhibited by the misguided multitudes, will
pass away, without any more serious re-
sults than have already happened. Still there is
sufficient to show that the sources of disturbance
in many places are not exhausted. Large bodies
of the unemployed continue to parade the
streets, and assemblages are collected in open
spaces in the neighbourhood of the towns, for the
purpose of listening to incendiary harangues.
It is obvious that the disaffected are only
restrained from actual mischief by the vigi-
lance of the Magistrates, and the presence
of a strong civil and military force, ready to
act with vigour if occasion call for its employ-
ment. The force of the tempest has, we have
reason to believe, spent itself. What yet re-
mains will, if prudently dealt with, subside into
quietness. The " turn-outs" will gradually be
brought to feel the madness of their scheme, and
return to their occupations. The Chartists have
generally failed in their attempts to induce the
workmen to connect their insane demands for " the
Charter," with the endeavour to coerce the masters
into a compliance with their terms. This is so
far satisfactory. The dissatisfied, because deeply
distressed and suffering, operatives, have, as a
body, resisted the Chartist demagogues, who
insidiously used their distressed condition as an
argument to induce them to lend their aid
in advancing an object which, if ever it be
attained—an event we have no reason to appre-
hend—would bring with it certain anarchy and
suffering. The body of those who clamour for
the Charter do so, not from any abstract or spe-
culative affection for universal suffrage, annual,
Parliaments, or other of the "six points"
which it is made to consist; but because they have
been taught—we- think very falsely taught—to
regard them as the means of their deliverance
from great and real evils. They are suffering
under grievous distress, for the relief or allevia-
tion of which they have looked to the Legislature
and to the Government, and they have looked in
vain. That there is much of this distress which it
is not in the power of their rulers to remove, we
most readily admit. It is ridiculous to suppose
that it depends on Government, however con-
stituted, to procure them at all times full em-
ployment for their labour, and fine seasons to
secure abundance of food. But they may think,
and honestly ask, that the Legislature should
remove the artificial restrictions which it has
imposed on the free course of industry, and thus
enable them to find a fair market flir it, and a
steady supply of the necessaries and comforts
which should reward it.
STANDARD.—AII the accounts received this
morning from the disturbed districts are satisfac-
tory. I u nearly every place lately the scene of
disorder and alarm the mass of the people are
cheerfully resuming their work ; and if the coun-
try is still kept in a state of some anxiety, it is by
the more desperate few, who have, in their own
opinion, committed themselves too far to hope for
amnesty, or by the still fewer profligates, who,
having joined the movement solely for the
sake of plunder, persist in their original purpose.
This is nut what was expected by the movers of
the sedition : they knew, indeed, that any
great popular movement must in a few days
wear itself out (for the subsidies of" the League"
would little more than cover the cost oforganisa-
tion) if the insurgents should not resort to a scheme
of wholesale robbery for their support; but they
calculated that to such a robbery the insurgents
would have recourse. Upon no other hypothesis
can their conduct be explained. The people
have, however, we rejoice to say, disappointed
them. Many have been guilty of rashness and
folly, but the number is very small indeed (and
generally composed of strangers) who have dis-
graced themselves by robbery or any other
crime of a deep dye. If we could find
gratification in any dissolution of the
bonds of • order, we might feel gratified
at the result of the wicked experiment tried
upon the simplicity of our labouring population.
The result proves the innate love of justice, and
the innate humanity of the English character
—when we see men prepared to confront the
terrors of the law, in a cause which they have
been taught to believe a good one and essen-
tial to their happiness, still abandon that
cause, and place themselves at the mercy
of their offended rulers, rather than prolong
the contest by means which honesty and huma-
nity will not approve of: Such a people deserve
in their errors that paternal Government that
the country happily. possesses in the crisis—a
Government for which we predict the singu-
lar, we believe the unexampled, honour of
conquering a rebellion by the mere force of
reason and good temper ; a lesson for which
mankind may be grateful through all pos-
terity.
,We speak this confidently, because
we are .ksatisfied that the rebellion, such as
it has been, is already at an end, although
here and there we must anticipate partial
disorders. The suffrages of the manufactur-
ing population have been fully taken,
however rude and irregular the process of
taking them, and the suffrages of the great
majority are already given for peace; so that
peace we shall have, in defiance of the ill humour
of the discontented minority. But how is a re-

eurrence of such calamities as the late explosion
to be obviated? Every one's common sense will
reply, by first punishing with calmness, but with
impartiality and rigour, the immediate authors
of the mischief; next, by providing, as far as
possible, against the condition of the people,
which has exposed them to be the dupes of such
incendiaries.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, Aug. 20.

IN RE JOHN PEIRCE.

The insolvent in this case, had been partly
heard on Monday last, came up again to'-day. Ike
was opposed by Mr. Cooke, and supported by
Mr. Creswell.

The facts of the case have been already made public.
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER , ex-
amination of the insolvent and his attorney, said the
o after the
insolvent's evidence seemed to be given with candour,
but still there was strong suspicion of a fraudulent
disposition of property. For the reasons already
assigned he should order the case to stand over until
Mr. Buchanan's costs were taxed. -
THE " COURIER " NEWSPAPER.-IN THE MATTER OF

CH:iRLESr aowcnoFT.
Mr. Cooke applied in this case for the appointment
of an assignee. The insolvent was editor and part
proprietor of the late Courier newspaper. The pre-
sent application, on Friday, after the hearing of the
cases, the Learned Counsel made the application on
the part of a Mr. Walton, who had been recommended
to the office by creditors to the amount of 3,7471., out
of creditors to 6,0001.
The Chief COMMISSIONER said he recollected Mr.
Rowcroft had said his insolvency arose from the fall-
ing state of the paper.
Mr. Cooke remarked that it had now fallen into the
Globe.

It appeared that some of the credit Ors held shares
in the Courier, which, Mr. Cooke said, were of no
value.

Chief COMMISSIONER—Upon my word great things
were expected of the Courier at one time. The Com-
assignee. missioner appointed Mr. Walton

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(SATURDAY.)
MANSION-HO USE.

HOUSEBREAKING.—John Slora was placed at the
bar, before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, this morning,
charged with breaking into the house of M. Ibbison,
of Nicholas-lane. _

Adam Gozard, police-officer 476, deposed that he
was on duty at one o'clock this morning in Nicholas-
lane, and he saw a light in the bar of the house oc-
cupied by Mr. Ibbison. He listened at the door and
heard a noise as of a person breaking open a drawer.
On proceeding to a back-door he found it open. He
went into the bar and the light was immediately put
out. Witness then, with another policeman, took
him into custody. A box containing tobacco was
found upon him, and a silk handkerchief.
Mrs. Ibbison swore to the articles found on the

prisoner.
The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and he
was committed for trial.

ROBBERY or AN EMPLOYER.--A boy named Wheel,
who had been formerly in the service of Messrs.
Oppenham and Co., was charged with having stolen a
Kreat quantity of squirrel skins, the property of the
firm ; and two men, named Williams, alias Sidney
Smith, and Radhins, and two women, named Guillarn
and Harrill, were charged with having urged the boy
to the commission of the robbery.
It was quite evident that the boy was encouraged to
steal by the men and women at the bar, who had
been seen upon various occasions waiting in the
street for him when he was believed to have been
carrying on that system. The proofs, however, were
not strong enough in the opinion of the Alderman in
justifying him in committing them, a circumstance
which he regretted sincerely. The men and women
were, therefore, discharged. The boy was committed
for trial.

--- -----
EXTENSIVE SWINDLING.—Herman Geiger, a wine-
merchant, of Manchester, who was apprehended by
John Forrester, was brought up for re-examination,
charged with having defrauded Mr. Hart, an exten-
sive wine-merchant in the City. The prisoner, who
was stated by Mr. Hart to have plundered tradesmen
in the neighbourhood
of Mark-lane of goods and
money to the amount of 16,0001., had been assisted in
his schemes by a man of the name of Benjamin
Dickinson, by whom the names of certain parties
were written upon bills.
Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution, and Mr..
Humphrey for the defendant.
Bail was, after some discussion, taken in two
sureties of 1001. for the
appearance of the prisoner to
answer anycharge that should be brought against
him at the Central Criminal Court.
THE RIVAL ISLINGTON OMNIBESSES.—CompIaint
was made by Wilson, the omnibus proprietor, against
Coulson, of the- same trade.
Wilson's coachman stated that he had first taken
up a passenger at the corner of Hereford-street, when
Coulson's omnibus drove at a rapid rate against the
near horse of the former, and did the poor animal
dreadful injury.

A great deal of altercation took place between the
whips ; but Alderman Gibbs ended it by fining Coul-
son's coachman 20s. and
costs, and dqclared that the
act by which the horse was wounded was most
wanton and cruel.

GUILDHALL.
TEARING DOWN PROCLAMATIONS.—CharIes Wil-
son was put forward charged with going about last
night for the purpose of tearing down from the walls
the proclamations issued
in the City by the Lord
Mayor.
A City policeman deposed that he was passing
along the Old Bailey, when he saw the defendant
come out of a public-
house, and deliberately tear
down the proclamation which had just been posted
against as he had accomplised this,
h threw
wall.
hup his As soonhat,and cried out, " Hurrah for
liberty !" and witness took him into custody.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he was very sorry
and would not offend again.—He was discharged.
IMPORTANT DECISION. Wm. Mason, a respectable
looking lad, was brought before the Court by Police
Serjeant No. 301, at the instance of Mr. Robert
Peterborough-court, Fleet-
as an apprentice.
Mr. Paris stated that the youth had been his ap-
prentice for three years, and boarded with his parents,
who live in the neighbourhood. The agreement was
Fleet-
street, a
focrb
to pay him 4s. a week the first year, and increase it i
ls. yearly, until the seventh year. The lad would
not act upon his orders, for yesterday he desired him
to fetch two cane chairs from a place, and he said he
did not come there to be a porter, and refused to go.
Mr. Alderman Humpunny—Pray, Sir, what pre-
mium did Tou receive with him?
Mr. Paris.-401.
Alderman HustPumtv—Then I think •.ou ought
not to demand of him to do the work of a porter
I'll hear what the youth has to say.
The lad admitted that he did refuse, but it was
because he was always selected from the other ap-
prentices to go on errands; he did not mind going
out in his turn.
Mr. Paris denied the correctness of this statement,
and wished to call his foreman, but he was not
allowed.
After a conference between- the complainant and
the Alderman, the latter told young Mason that he
would go back with his master, and he (Alderman
II.) had no doubt but some arrangement would be
made so as to prevent a future misunderstanding.

was the complainant, and a pawnbroker (whose name
we could not ascertain) residing in Oxford-street, was

the defendant, was heard on the 10th ult.
The defendant was called upon to show cause how
he became possessed of, and why he detained, a casket
of jewels of the estimated value of 2,0001., the property
of his Lordship.
The affair was first brought under the notice of the
Magistrate about a week previous, and on each occa-
sion Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Petersdorff attended as
counsel for the respective parties.
From the statement of the Noble Marquis, it ap-
peared that the property in question consisted of a
diamond star of the value of 1,0001., a necklace worth
6001., a pair of earrings 3001., and other articles of
minor value; they were all safe at his residence at
Richmond a short time before they were missed, and
information was subsequently received that they were
in the possession of the defendant.
The defendant at once admitted that the articles in
question were in his possession, and that he received
them in the regular course of his business, and had'
advanced upon them a fair and reasonable sum. He
at the same time stated that he could identify the
person who pledged the property with him, and ex-
pressed his willingness to do so whenever called upon.
Under such circumstances the Magistrate did not
consider himself called upon to make any order
respecting the restoration of the property, and the
Learned Counsel having expressed themselves satisfied
with the explanation given, the affair terminated.
The parties then retired by the Magistrates' pri-
vate entrance. _

The second case alluded to was heard on Thursday
last, and was a charge of assault preferred by a grocer,
residing in Drury-lane, against a young female of
the name of Jane Priest.

Mr. Bodkin attended on behalf of the complainant.

The defendant had been in the service of the com-
plainant, and a particular intimacy it appeared had
existed between them for some time, which at length
ended in the defendant becoming a mother, and she
was consequently removed from the house. Shortly
after, the complainant took unto himself a wife, which
of course had the effect of stopping the visits of the
defendant to her late master's ; at length having be-
come quite destitute, she entered the shop with her
child in her arms, in the hope that some relief would
be afforded her, when high words were used, and the
complainant, attempting to eject her from the shop,
in order to prevent his customers taking notice of the
circumstance, she lifted her hand, and slapped his face.
The defendant admitted having struck the com-
plainant, and alleged that he owed (her a considerable
sum for wages, which she could not obtain, neither
could she gel any thing from him for the support of
her child.

Mr. Twyroun, considering that the assault had
been proved, ordered the defendant to find bail to
answer any charge which might be preferred against
her at the sessions, and to keep the peace towards the
complainant in the interim.

of the balloon, we must have encountered great diffi-
culty,
in consequence of the alarm and astonishment
of the peasantry near us, who ran in every direction
but towards us. After remaining at anchor some
time, and the balloon, by the escape of gas, having
ceased its, to them terrific motion, we at length pre-
vailed on some of the distant gazers to approach us,
and we then found them most ready and willing to
render every assistance. Shortly after our descent we
received an invitation from the Rev. R. Waldy, which
we accepted; and, having been refreshed with excellent
wine, and entertained with a sumptuous dinner, he
furnished us with a carriage to Wareham, where we ob-
tained a fly, but could not reach Dorchester till near
one o'clock, having to wait the return of horses from
Weymouth to Wareham. At our greatest elevation
we had a most extensive view of the sea and promi-
nent lands. In the east, St. Alban's-head and the
Isle of Wight : in the north-west the whole line of
the Devonshire coast; and Portland Bill in the south.
On the upper surface of the clouds we observed the
same beautiful phenomena which I have often seen—
viz., the reflection of the shadow of the balloon, encir-
cled with a double halo of the most brilliant prismatic
colours. In conclusion, I must here beg to acknow-
ledge with grateful feelings the very kind and marked
attention evinced towards me by the worshipful the
Mayor, Mr. Charles Bridge, also the kind expressions
of approbation passed on me by the Steward of the
races, Mr. Thomas Grahame, as well as to Mr. Bow-
man, chief engineer to the gas works, for the able as-
sistance he rendered me, and most heartily do I wish
prosperity to the inhabitants of the beautiful town of
Weymouth.
