-40. '

GUILDHALL—(THIS DAY.)

intelligent-looking black boy, was placed at the bar
charged with begging in the streets.

defence that he was a native of Barbadoes. •In the
spring of the present year he was bathing in the, sea, •
and the Captain of a vessel called the Triumph, which
was lying at anchor in the bay, came to him and
asked him if he would go with him to sea. He (the
prisoner) said he would not, and then the Captain
brought a boat and took prisoner's clothes, 'and told ;,
him to swim after them to the ship. He swam to the
ship, and then he was seized and kept on board, and
the vessel sailed that evening for England. The
Captain discharged his cargo, and then' :refused to
take him back to Barbadoes.
Sir G. CARROLL askedwhere the ship wiii.'iinloaded•
—The boy said in Liverpool.
The Magistrate after consulting some time with
Mr. Payne, said he would send the prisoner to the .1
workhouse until a ship could he procured; when 11°
should be sent home.

MARYLEBONE.--(THIS DAY.)
For some time past the respectable inhabitants of
Charlotte-street, Portland-place, and Frederick-street,
Connaught-square, have been much annoyed by the
existence of low disreputable houses in the above
localities, and the nuisance has at length arrived tit
such a height that the parochial authorities have, 14
the repeated requests of householders, taken up,the
matter, and intend indicting a number of the occupants.
This day two females, conducting establishments of
this description, were brought before the Magistrate,
Mr. Long, and on their being identified as the parties
against whom warrants had been taken they were
held to bail for their appearance at the next sessions..

By. !the Forth, West India mail steamer, letter
have been received from Mexico, and Jamaica, and
some other of the West India islands ; the dates of the
latter are to the 9th of August. By the last twe
or three mails the accounts of the crop, and the gene'
ml condition of the colonies, have been extroneV
favourable ; these, however, are still more so. The el'
tent of the crops had been ascertained, and had been for
larger than had been anticipated. Much of this in.
crease was attributO to the assistance received troll,
the African immigrants, who, it is stated, are lye'
satisfied ; and greater exertions were bell
made to provide an extra number ag the ensuing season. This improvement in the
produce of the. estates had given an impetw
to commercial affairs, and, although embarrassments
in trade continued, still they were rapidly disappearil
Complaints are made of the want of shipping, an
these fully bear out the remarks which have front tivie
to time been made of the loss to merchants consequent
upon the-irregularity of the communication betweel
this country and the West Indies. It is stater
that on Bth August a considerable quantity of suge
remained in the warehouses. This cannot nowl/
sent forward without great risk and high premiums°
insurance, on account of the hurricane months liavi%
arrived : had, therefore, letters been • despatch
in the former regular course, vessels tuigh'
have been ordered out to have brought
away before the Ist August, after which no vessel i 5
considered to be insured at the old rate, the polici
being looked upon as void, if she sail after July 31.
The intelligence from Demerara is rather better,
but still sufficiently bad to create some alarm. 'l-116
negroes appear to have come to a determinatlon 11°",..
to work, but to support themselves on tbn produce
of small plots of ground, which they have acquired
by savings from their wages. This want of labou`,
having been supplied, the quantity of the staple or'
tides has not generally been sufficient to meet the e:'"
penses of the estates.
The dates from Mexico are, from Vera Cruz to the
Bth, and Tampico to the 9th August. Scarcely 04
matters
alteration had taken place in commercial or politica!'
