1N CAVENDISH-SQVARE.

A distinguished Freehold Residence, with large Garden and
• Offices of every description.
mR. GEORGE ROBINS is entrusted to
SELL by PRIVATE TREATY, (or to LET for
a period of years),
A NOBLE FREEHOLD MANSION,

erected in the good old times, when substantiality was
voted an essential appendage ; it has recently been decorat-
ed in a manner corresponding with the best taste, and is
most delightfully situate on the
EAST SIDE OF CAVENDISH-SQUARE.

It comprehends an entrance hall, in which there is a
porter's lodge. The entrance hail communicates with a
morning room, 19 feet by 21, and that with a library 22
feet by 19, and both with an eating •room, SS feet by 23
feet, also with a new back stone staircase, from the base-
ment story to the attics, on which back staircase there is
a water closet for every story, and water is laid on to the
highest attics. Over the eating-room there is a drawing
room, 38 feet feet by 23, that communicates with three
other rooms of smaller dimensions, all communicating
with the spacious drawing room, and each with the
two staircases; over these are bed rooms, with dressing
rooms, and large convenient closets. The attics are
newly built. The basement story consists of a spacious new
kitchen, apart from the mansion, a large convenient
housekeeper's room, butler's pantry, wine and beer cellars,
°sc. ; also a fine spring of pure water, and a store at the
bottom of the back staircase, to warm and air the whole
mansion. The stables and coach houses, with servants'
rooms over them, are in a superior style, situate at the
bottom of a spacious garden, which is in view of all the
rooms in the back of the mansion, as the front rooms are
of the garden of the Square. The Premises are freehold,
and in the most perfect state of repair, fit for immediate
occupation ; and it is supposed there is not in the Metro-
polis, and to he disposed of, a mansion so well suited to
A FAMILY OF DISTINCTION.
From this description it will be seen that the arrangement
is altogether so complete as to leave nothing to be desired ;
in fact it would partake of the work of supererogation to
add one word beyond this simple expression—that it
was remodelled and completed under the direction of Mr.
Jeffrey Wyatville.
Cards to view may be had at Mr. George Robins's Offices,
London.

FLEET PruSON.—Last week a person named
Carew was discharged by the Insolvent Court. He had
been confined in the Fleet Prison, and was of a very seri-
ous disposition, and connected with the sect of Methodists.
The scenes he witnessed and the language he heard, to •
getter with the state of his own affairs, preyed upon his
mind to such an extent that for several days prior to his
discharge he was insane.. .A felluw-prisoner, who has had
much experience in cases of madness, rubbed some pre-
paration into his head which had the effect of restoring
him to reason, but on his road home to his friends, a few
days afterwards, he died. Cases of madness and premature
death, produced by imprisonment for debt, are much more
frequent than is generally known. One of the last deaths
in the Fleet Prison was a clergyman, whose end is solely
to be ascribed to this cause..

We have again to notice a fair show of farmers' Wheat,
which met a very (lull sale, and although we do not alter
our quotations, yet the prices of last week were hardly
supported. Our supply of foreign is again considerable :
this will now be our last arrival until spring, of any con-
sequence. By our last advices from abroad, winter had
set in severely, and no more shipments would be made
until an alteration in the weather took place. The best
parcels of Foreign Wheat fully support late prices; in-
deed, in some instances, more money was demanded, and
the trade generally, assumes a firm appearance; we there-
fore consider this article without alteration. All Spring
Corn remains without inquiry, and consequently only
bears a nominal value. Rapeseed and Linseed remain as
last noted.

RKETS.—Jan. It.

Stephenson arrived in Bristol seven or eight days
before Ledbetter was despatched in pursuit of Mir:.
This officer traced him from the Gloucester hotel
at Clifton, to the Lamplighter's-hall at Fill, whets
Stephenson remained for one night. Whilst there
it was pretended that he was in a very delicate
state of health, and that, all other remedies having
failed, the wretched invalid was recommended to
try, as a last resource, a short voyage, in the hope
that sea-sicknesa might afford him some relief. So
well was the pretence of illnces kept up, that a
friend of Stepheneon'e, who accompanied him from
London, played time doctor en the occasion, and now
and again would feel h's pulse, examine his tongue,
and inquire of the patient whether he still felt that
excruciating pain in the region of the stomach. The
doctor would then give a most mysterious and pro-
fessional shake of the head, and urged still stronger
the necessity of taking the sl.ort sea-voyage. Ste-
phenson yielded a reluctant assent, and ultimately
the poor infirm man was supported to a boat by
Lloyd and his friend, the doctor. The doctor re-
turned to Clifton, where Stephenson's coachman was
left. The coachman appears not to have been in
the secret, as he, more than once, at the Gloucester
Hotel, expressed surprise that his master should
have hastened from London under such extraordi-
nary circumstances. At the doctor's return, how-
ever, the coachman's raouth was stopped. Die boat
in which Stephenson and Lloyd embarked had
not proceeded far from the shore, when Ste-
phenson began to justify the prediction of his
physician ; the sea-voyage was already work-
ing his cure, he raised himself in the boat,
and astonished the crew by a sudden accession of
health and strength. He soon satisfied the doubts
and scruples of the boatmen. They sailed to Lundy
Island, and there met the Ranger, ofß id eford, on board
which Stephenson and Lloyd got. The Ranger beat
about the Channel for some time, without falling in
with a single outward-bound ship. Lee, the Cap-
tain, being unable to continue any longer at sea, of-
fered to take Stephenson and Lloyd to Clovelly„
where his brother, who had a fine pilot-boat (the
Sally), lived, and having assured them that Clovelly
was a retired and unfrequented place, they consented
to be put on shore there. They landed at Clovelly
on the evening of Wednesday, the 31st of Decem-
ber. It was then blowing so hard, that the Cap-
tain of the Sally refused to put to sea, and Stephen-
son and his companion were obliged to remain for
inn,
or night at the King's Arms, a miserable little nn,
or rather a public-house. Their arrival, and, still
more, the circumstance of their having pistols con-
stantly on the table at the inn, excited suspicion ;
but, as there was nothing to justify an arrest, no at-
tempt was made to detain them. OR the following
day the Clovelly pilots dined together at the King's
Arms, in accordance with a custom which prevails
in that little village. The house was so very much
crowded, that Stephenson took up his quarters for
that day in a cottage belonging to a daughter of the
landlady of the King's Arms. In the evening he
sent two guineas to the pilots, with a request that.
they would drink his health. This piece of libe-
rality won their hearts, and detei mined them to do
all in their power for a gentleman who had
proved himself, as one of them said, " a
real gammon." On the next day (Friday) a
weekly newspaper, the only one that ever makes
its way to Clovelly, arrived in due course at the
King's Arms, and was instantly given to •the two
strange gentlemen. The arrival of this solitary
newspaper is an event of some considerable moment
to the village politicians ; and, as is usual on Fridays,
the principal inhabitants of Clovelly were soon as-
sembled at the King's Arms. Among others, Lieut.
Jones, who commands the water-guard on the sta-
tion, was present. This gentleman, from the first
announcement of Stephenson's arrival, suspected
that he was endeavouring to escape from the court-
try, and consulted with some of his friends as to the
propriety of arresting both him and Lloyd. Some
were in favour of that measure; but Lieutenant
Jones, in the total absence of any sufficient autho-
rity, thought the risk too great, and determined not
to apprehend them on his own mere suspicions All
was anxiety, as we before stated, to get a glimpse
of the newspaper, and the landlady was at length
induced to send her compliments to the strange
gentlemen to know if they could spare it. On the
messenger entering the room, she found Stephenson
reading attentively ; he told her that he,had not half
done with the paper. Some further time wits suf-
fered to ellipse, when the messengsr again went with
her mistress's compliments for the newspaper
" Don't you see (said Stephenson) that my
friend is reading it ?" The patience of the com-
pany outside became at length exhausted, and
having relieved themselves by a plentiful abuse
of the two unmannerly newsmangers, they drop-
ped off one by one. Stephenson and Lloyd
were still indefatigable in the studying of the
newspaper; they kept it entirely to themselves. To-
wards the evening the Captain of the Sally inform-
ed them that the wind had considerably lulled, and
in a few minutes every thing was got ready for sea.
Stephenson paid the bill, giving a very liberal al-
lowance to all the servants ; he even thought the
charges too moderate. The landlady was quite de-
lighted with his generosity. Stephenson returned
her his warmest thanks for her great attention to
him, and begged of all things that she would suffer
him to take away the newspaper. It contained (he
said) something respecting- a friend of his, and he
was, therefore, very anxious to preserve it. The
landlady urged the great disappointment which the
loss of their only paper would occasion to all her
customers, but Stephenson pressed hard, and the
newspaper was given up for a valuable consideration.
On reaching'the boat, Stephenson thrust the news-
paper into the fire, and held it down with the poker
until it was entirely consumed. " Now," said he,
turning to Lloyd, " that can tell no tales."
They congratulated each other, and with good
reason, on their management respecting the
newspaper, for it actually contained (as has since
been ascertained) a fult account of Mr. Stephen-
son's absconding, an accurate description of his per-
son, and an offer of a reward for his apprehension.
Had Lieutenant Jones but seen the newspaper, he
would instantly have taken them into custody, and
it was not a little amusing to observe the effect
which was produced by the arrival of the Bow-street
officers in Clovelly. Lieut. Jones and his men
seemed to blame themselves as much as if they had
actually thrown away 1,000/. Stephenson left at
the King's Arms a letter, addressed to a Mr.
Thomas, and directed the landlady's daughter to
destroy the letter if a gentleman of that name id
not call for it within four or five days. The officers
ascertained that a person did call for the letter. He
was described as being about 45 years of age, of
dark complexion, about five feet ten inches high,
and net very gentlemanly in his address.
We understand that nothing could be more judi-
cious than the selection of Clovelly as a place of con-
cealment. Its inhabitants had scarcely any inter-
course with any other village. It is surrounded,
except on the sea-side, by steep hills, and the ap-
proach to it affords but a dangerous passage even to
foot-passengers.
We have already stated the circumstances under
which Stephenson and Lloyd got on board the
Kingston off Milford. The Bow-street officers,
Bishop and Leadbitter, when all hope was lost of
coming up with the fugitives on land, started from
Milford for St. Ives, on their way to Falmouth. At
h.t. Ives they were actually mistaken for Stephen-
s ei and Lloyd, and the whole town was thrown
into a ferment on the occasion. The two officers
arrived in -a Pill boat at St. Ives, at about ten
o'clock at night. Their boat being too large to ap-
proach the beach, they hailed a small skiff to put
them on shore. The skiff was at the time attending
to a brig; but on the first hued they quitted her, and
came alongside the boat in which -were Bishop and
Leadbitter. The officers got into the skiff, the crew
of which were most pains-taking.in their attentions.
They took uncommon care of the luggage, repeatedly
asking if the gentlemen were sure that they had
shifted all their lu,gage from the Pill boat; their

attention; were continued to the officers on landing;
tv.-o of the crew kept strict charge of the luggage,
whilst two others posted off to the Mayor to give
him positive information that Stephenson and Lloyd
were then within his grasp. Whatever doubt they
might have had on the subject in the first iststance,
all uncertainty was removed from their minds, when
Bishop begged to be sliewn to that inn where he
would be most Ii!:ely to get a post-chaise or. to Fal-
mouth. They brought the officers to an urn, but a
knowing lnek from one of the boatmen prevented
Bishop getting an answer respecting a post-chaise.
In a few minutes the suspicions of the boatmen in-
fected every person in the house, and measures were
taken to prevent the escape of the offenders, and to
Secure the reward of 1,000/.
The Mayor was by no means deficient in energy
man this momentous occasion ; he sent instantly for
the Solicitor of the Corporation. The Solicitor re-
commended, that in addition to the civil power, they
should procure a reinforcement from the Coast Bloc-
kade Service. This was readily granted. The inn
-and,all the avenues to it were well guarded; cen-
tinels were posted in all directions, and a large
force, headed by a respectable gentleman (a banker,
Stet believe), entered the inn. Meanwhile, Bishop
and Leadbitter were comforting themselves with
some lerondy and water, little dreaming of the worll
of trouble that they were giving the good people of
St. Ives. At length a gentle knock was heard at
the door, and after the usual invitation to " come
in," an elderly gentleman shewed a very grave and
important face. " I understand, gentlemen," said
he, " that ye want a post chaise on to Falmouth,"
"We was Bishop's answer, " and a precious
long time they are without letting us know whe-
ther we can have it." "I am afraid." said the old
gentleman, " that you cannot get a chaise ; indeed
we have no means of travelling here except by
Paddle horses."

Bishop gave him to understand that he and his
friend had some luggage of considerable value, and
that saddle horses were therefore out of the question.
On the mention of the luggage the eyes of the old
gentleman traversed the room, expecting, no doubt,
to light upon the treasure of Stephenson. Their
eyes rested on two portmanteaus, and during the
remainder of the interview the old gentleman's at-
tention was divided between the portmanteaus and
their owner=. It is scarcely necessary to say, that
the object of the visit was suspected by the officers.
Leadbitter, on the first appearance of the gentle-
man, backed as he was by several others who re-
mained a short distance from him, saw what they were
at ; he and Bishop exchanged looks—they re-
frained with the utmost difficulty from laughing,
and Leadbitter, turning towards the door, expressed
astonishment that the mere circumstance of two
persona arriving at an inn and ordering a postchaise
should call together such a number of gentlemen.
The whole party now pressed forward ; there was
eviliently a hesitation as to Ns hieh should formally
announce their object ; one, after a short pause,
and with a eolemnity beeoming the capture rf Row-
land Stephenson, The fact is, Gentlemen, we
have great pain in informing ye, from the very sus-
picious circumstances under which ve landed here this
evening, we have good reason for thinking eat ye are
Mr. Rowland Stephenson and Mr. Lloyd. We have
received positive information that they embarked
some days since in a Pill boat, and we are assured
that ye arrived here this night in a boat belonging to
Pill. Our duty is a very disagreeable one: but it
requires that we should conduct ve before the
-Mayor." This was too mech for the officers to
endure, and just as violent hands were being laid on
them, a loud laugh burst from both ; the canters
were thunderstruck. " Make yourselves quite easy,
gentlemen," said Bishop, " I think that my friend
and I are mcre likely •to overtake Mr. Stephenson
than you are; and if you are really desirous that no
delay should take place in the pursuit, pray use your
influence in getting us a chaise. We are Bow-street
Officers." " The devil they are," exclaimed a voce '
in the crowd—fer crowd there actually was about
the room door; among others the Mayor's son was
there—he instantly poated off to give notice 'o his
father of the ludicrous termination of his well ar-
ranged plan for the certain capture of Stephenson.
He found the Mayor in tremulous expectation of the
arrival of the cr:minal. Every thing was prepared
for his reception, and even several of the Mayor's
friends had been speedily invited to be present on
the interesting occasion. The disappointment was
great, but still all joined heartily at the mistake, ex-
cept the poor boatmen, who were to hava bad the
large reward. Every attentioe and assistance were
given to the officers, and Bishop and Leadbitter
shortly after started for Falmouth.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Messager des Chambres of Monday.)

ANcoNA, DEC. 30.--A Russian Courier has ar-
rived in this port, coming from the fleet in the Me-
diterranean, and proceeded- on his way to St. Peters-
hur4h ; at the same time an English Courier em-
barked for Corfu.

The Plenipotentiaries for the Anirs of Greece
must by this time have left Poros for Naples, where
they will remain for some time, end then return to
Greece. It is, however, thought possible, that after
some weeks' stay at Naples, Mr. Stratford Canning
may return to Corfu.
Notwithstanding the bad weather at this season
of the year great activity is observed in the English
fleet in the Mediterranear, and every thing indicates
that important events are at hand. y It is said thet
a North American squadron will appear in the Archi-
pelago next spring ; a circumstance which gives rise
to all sorts of reasonings and political conjectures.
The English who trade in the Levant, end especially
those who are ready to freight vessels, are alarmed'
at these reports. It would not be at all improbable
that the Porte should concede great commercial ad-
vantages to the United States of North America,
that they might assist it in their contest with the
Greeks. These Englishmen, who are so much it:-
terested in the preservation of the most perfect
harmony between their nation and the Turks,
long for the return of the Plenipotentiaries to
Constantinople. The French have philanthropic
views, and .cannot persuade themselves that the
most powerful free State in the New World can
consent to assist, with its naval force, in the oppres-
sion of a Christian nation, even though that Stare
should derive the greatest advantages from it. It
seems very certain that the North Americans are
seeking greatly to extend their commerce in the
Archipelago, and that. with this view they are nego-
ciating with the Porte, without interfering in any
manner- with the affairs of Greece ; but it is not to
be supposed that the policy of the United States of
North America thinks of counteracting the projects
of the three principal maritime Powers of Europe.
Notwithstanding the declaration of the blockade of
the Dardanelles, numerous cargoes of articles riot
contraband continue to be sent from all the ports of
Italy for Constantinople.

ALEXANDRIA, NOV. 20.---(From a Commercial
Letter.)—Some French transports have brought to
this city the troops which composed the garrison
of Patras ; 'he object of the Allies appears to he
to occupy the Island of Candia. A very numerous
European Te-e having assembled at Sudo, as if to
invite the Turks to evacuate Candia, two French
vessels sailed from Pcros, escorted by a French brig
of war. These vessels had on board 300 Greek
slaves redeemed from the Turks at the expense of
the King of France. It has been discovered that
there are at Cairo a great number of these unfortu-
nate people.
TRIESTE, JAN. 7.--It is but now that the block-
ade of the Dardanelles begins. North winds of ex-
traordinary violence have also prevented for some
time the arrival of vessels in the port of Trieste.

The most enlightened Viceroy that Ireland
has ever known, who by the dignified impartiality
of his Administration secured the affections of
the Catholics, and extorted the esteem even of
the Orangemen—whose munificence was un-
wearied, discriminating, and splendid—who
threw more of heart and soul into his public
conduct than any Lord Lieutenant had ever
done before him—the Marquis of ANGLESEA,
SO loved, so respected, so we may almost add,
idolized, took his departure, from Dublin, on
Monday last, amid the tears and blessirgs
of the greatest concourse of people that had
ever before assembled on the shores of Ireland.
The scene was by all accounts unprecedented.
A whole nation seemed concentrated into one
vast mass, holding but one opinion, and inspired
with but one feelinli. Even Sir HARCOURT
LEES, the ten or of the Papists, the Coryphmus
of the Orangemen, partook of the general emo-
tion, and presented his Excellency with an ad-
dress from the inhabitants of Kingstown, which
was characterized, in an eminent degree, by
courtesy, good feeling, and judgment. But,
in fact, party spirit was wholly laid aside
on this memorable occasion; for all classes,
whether Papist or Brunswicl•:er, or Dissen-
ter, felt, that with the departure of their
Viceroy, departed also a great share of their
future peace and prosperity. Further comment
on this subject is unnecessary—" when a whole
nation," says SWIFT, " speaks out as one man,
and responds with equal energy to one feeling :
it must, as a matter of course, be right. Sects,
facts, communities, may be wrong—an

mows country never."

The Prussian State Gazette of the 13th inst.
contains the following account from Varna of
the 23d December, which must put to rest the
misgivings of those, who supposed that it had
fallen into the hands of the Turks :
BERLIN, JAS. Li.

A Supplement to the Odessa Gazette contains
the following extract of a letter from Varna of the
23d of December :

Rear-Admiral Kumany has returned to us with
two cannon and 100 prisoners, taken on the little
island opposite to Sizeboti. The Turks at Burgas
were much astonished at the appearance of our ships,
and the Grand Vizier hastened to the spot.
On the 18th of December see had divine service,
and an ilitnination, on account of the completion of
the repairs of the fortress. The Turks admire our
work, and confess that the place is now more
strongly fortified than it was when in their posses-
sion. In fact much has been done in the short time,
for riot only the works destroyed during the siege
have been restored, but new ones added. Bazartjik,
Pi,ravadi, Gebudshy, and Duero, are also well forti-
fied, and able to sustain a siege.
Yesterday two Lirre..?k Doctors from Shumla came
to our outposts; they were in the service of Halil
Pacha, who is now Seraskier in Shumla, Hussein
Pacha having' gone to command the troops at
Aidos. According to the account of the,e two
p..-rsons, and of many Bulgarians who have come
over to us, the Turks at Situmla di 2 in want of
many things, and the mortality among the soldiers
is very great.

BRUSSEL, JAN. 17.

The Chamber of Commerce at _Antwerp informs
the merchants, that"by a decree of the Emperor of
Brazil, of 21th September, a duty of 15 per cent.
was from that date to be paid on all foreign goods

and ►uerchandize imported into Brazil, without any
distinction of importers.
(The Brussels papers of 21st January contain no

news.)

The French Papers are barren of news of any
particular moment. The sudden departure of
the Prince de POLIGNAC for Paris, will cause a
good deal of speculation, and his mission is no
doubt of an important nature, relating either to
the present posture of affairs in the East, or
to the Secretaryship of the Foreign Department.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 15th con
talus the following respecting the mission of M
JAUTERT,

VIENNA, JAN. 9,

Some persons affirm that M. Jaubert, who passed
through this city on the 10th Dec., on his way to
Constantinople, is the bearer of proposals to the
Porte, " to declare that he will negociate on the basis
of the convention of 6th July 1827, and of the pro-
tocol of the conferences of 16th Nov. 1828," upon
which the Ambassadors of England and France
would immediately return to Constantinople. It is
hoped that the Divan will accede to this proposal, in
order to obtain the renewal which it has so long de-
sired of the diplomatic relations with those powers.
It is said that Count Joseph Von Metternich,
brother of the Prince Chancellor, is to be god-father
to the young Prince, who was born the day before
yesterday.

VIENNA, JAN. 10.—Metalliques, 96 ; Bank
Shares, 1110.

Since the convulsion of credit which took
place in 1825, every threatening cloud in the
commercial atmosphere is viewed with alarm,
and appears to the sensitive imaginations of mo=
nied men to be fraught with tempests. A mer-
cantile community is no doubt subject to various
perils and calamities ; and the fear of these is
itself a serious evil. But when we consider the
state of trade at present, we do not see any real
foundation for alarm. The causes which occa-
sioned the mercantile calamities of 1825 have
been already satisfactorily explained—they were
the fruits of misplaced confidence ; and this again
arose from the extraordinary abundance of capi-
tal ; in consequence of which, it was rashly lent
to those who employed it in dashing adventures;
i:► which great part of it was irrecoverably lost.
In the extensive ruin thence arishig consisted
the mercantile distress of 1825. But we have

nothing of this kind to dread at present—a slight
scarcity of cash—a fall in the price of funded
property—a moderate depression of the foreign
exchanges—and an exportation of bullion, are
the circumstances which have given rise to the
present agitation. Now it is certain that money,
like every other commodity, will occasionally
fluctuate in its value. It will be scarcer at one
time than at another; and although a great
scarcity of cash is the never-failing accompani-
ment of all mercantile convulsions, yet it does
not follow that every agitation in the money-
market, and every inconsiderable rise in the value
of money, is the certain prelude to such
calami-
ties ; these fluctuations are continually occurring.
Money or capital varies in its value ; but these
variations do not necessarily agitate the whole
mercantile community ; and we see no reason
therefore at present for the apprehension of fur-
ther evils. With regard to the depression of
funded property, that is the certain consequence

of a scarcity of cash, and exactly measures its

extent. But the foreign exchanges, which are
generally in favour of this country, have at pre-
sent turned against it ; these however being go-
verned by the course of trade, it may often hap-
pen that they are favourable at one time, and the
reverse at another. But when the exchange with
Hamburgh, for example, is unfavourable, this

implies nothing more than that there is a greater
demand in London for money—in Hamburg!),
than in Hamburgh for money in London, and
that bills in Hamburgh sell in consequence in
London for a premium. Now there is nothing
surely very alarming in this, nor do we hear that
there is in Hamburgh or Paris any alarm when
the exchange with London is against them, as it
generally is. The exportation of bullion, as it
is the necessary consequence of an unfavourable
exchange, so it is its corrective ; an unfavourable
exchange encourages exportation both of goods
and of bullion ; r.nd it is by this means that it is
brought back to par. It oscillates on both sides
of this central point, according to the impulse
which it receives from the course of commerce ;
but it continually tends to it) and because it hap-
pens not always to be on one side, because it
happens sometimes to be unfavourable to this
country, is there on this account the slightest
around of alarm ? even though large exportations
of bullion should take place ; is there any evil in
this ? We export bullion as an article of trade
when we have too much of it, just as we export
any other commodity of which we have a surplus.
But why should this occasion any alarm ? We

have often before exported bullion to Europe, as
well as to the East Indies ; nor did these remit-
tances ever produce the least alarm, or in any
degree derange the course of trade ; and we do
not see therefore how an inconsiderable exporta-
tion of specie should at present produce any ill
consequences.

There is no doubt, that where banks are esta-
blished for the circulation of paper, its own issue
and depreciation will lead to an exportation of
specie. But such an over• issue and deprecia-
tion can only take place where a bank, by the
restriction of its cash payments, is closed against
any return of its depreciated notes. At present,
when the bank is obliged to pay its notes in
specie, it is impossible that any over-issue, or

any depreciation can take place, as the excess
would be continually returned for specie ; if the
notes were re-issued, they would be immediately
returned, and the bank would be speedily ad-
monished of its error by a constant drain of
its gold, and would thus remedy the evil by
contracting its issues. The present unfavourable
exchange cannot therefore arise from any over
issue of paper. It must proceed from the state
of trade; and is one of those occurrences which
must frequently happen, and need occasion no
alarm. That there is any thing unsound, as
was the case in 1825, in the present state of our
commerce, we do not believe ; and, in this case,
the temporary agitation which has accidentally
arisen from slight causes, will, we doubt not,
speedily subside.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TwzLra o' CLocr.

The winding► up of the account has had the effect
of causing the price of Consols to be higher for
money than for account; they opened this morning at
86i for money, and 861 for account, since
which they have declined it per cent., and are now
for money, and 86k for time ; Three per
Cent. Reduced are 87i ; and Money stock con-
tinues scarce ; the Commissioners paid 861 for
Consols. Exchequer Bills and India Bonds are now
both at the same premium, 68 9.
Notiting has occurred in the Foreign market to
vary the uninteresting state in which it hae been for
some time, and in the absence of business prices are
nominally as stated below.

In Mining Shares nothing has occurred to alter
the prices, which are equally devoid of interest.

who absconded with 1,300 sovereigns belonging to
his employer, Mr. Davis, to that town, and although
he was not then in actual custody, they had got pos-
session of one of his trunks ; and as a dense fog had
prevented any vessel from sailing, there was little or
no doubt of his being taken.

FRENCH THEATRE-ENGLISH OPERA

Mx:E.—A comedy, by Marivaux, in three acts, entitled
Le Jett d'Ainour a du Hazard, was performed last
night at this theatre. It was throughout highly applauded
by a full and fashionable house. La Porte, as Pasquin,
the valet, was admirable.

Messrs. Booth and Copeland the present She-
riffs of London and Aliddk..s,ex, have discovered a disposi-
tion to maintain the dignity of their office with becoming
spienuour and hospitality, and have also given proof of
their charitable feelings towards the unfortunate and dis-
tressed, by granting supplies of coals and clothing to the
poor prisoners, with a liberality which has exceeded that
of any of their predecessors.

NEwronT.—Died on Monday the 12th, Miss
E. Upward, youngest daughter of 11r. W. Upward, silver-
smith, &e., after a long illness, occasioned by fright.
About seven years ago a military officer caught the girl up
and tossed her into the air, catching her again as she came
down. The child, however, was influenced by fright to
such an extent, as brought on a palpitation and enlarge-
ment of the heart, of which she ultimately hied.—Brigh-
ton Guardian.

We regret to record a fatal accident which
occurred a few days since to Mr. White, auctioneer, of
Sittinghourne. The deceased went out on horseback, and
was nuind shortly afterwards lying on the ground,-between
insisted and his own house, severely injured, having been
thrown from his horse. Every assistance was instantly
rendered to the unfortunate gentleman, but we regret to
say it was unavailing, as he expired yesterday morning,
leaving a widow and four children to lament their melan-
choly condition. He was very generally respected, and
his unfortunate end is much regretted by his townsmen
and many friends.—Muidstone Journal.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF. KING'S BENCH.
DELLER V. CUAPPEL.

This was a motion for a new trial. The caw
had been tried before Lord Tcnterden, and a verdict
of 50/. damages returned, the action being brought
by a dyer against some persons who had made a
distraint upon his property, and had thrown away a
quantity of cochineal liquor, which was sworn to
be worth 801. The defendant, however, now moved
for a new trial on the ground that he was then in
possession of evidente which would have contra-
dicted one of the plaintiff's witnesses, and have in-
fluenced the verdict, if he could have produced it
at the last trial.

The COURT refused to grant a new trial, observing
that it was the duty of the defendant's attorney to
have provided himself at the trial to have met all the
points of the e:lse.

COURT OF' COMMON PratAg.
CRIM. CON.--PILFOLD V. BEET.

Mr. COLERIDGE opened the pleadings in this
case. It was an action to recover compensation in
damages from the defendant, for criminal conversa-
tion with the plaintiff's wife;
Mr. Sergeant WILDE addressed the :flirt for the
plaintiff. In the present instance it would not be
his duty to occupy their attention for any great
length of time, but this was not because the case
Was unimportant but rather because the case he
had to lay before them was of such a nature, that it
would be unnecessary to do more than merely to
state to them the facts, in order to enable them to
deal with it. The plaintiff and the defendant were
both officers in the army, the former a Lieute-
nant in the 21st, and the latter a Captain
in the 67th. The plaintiff married
.a Miss
Chapman in 1825, and she subsequently resided
with him at the barracks at Sheerness. He was
afterwards sent with a detachment of his regiment to
Kew, where he was relieved by a detachment of
the 67th, under the command of Captain Beet.—
Frequent communications necessarily took place.
and subsequently the defendant visited at the house
of the plaintiff. The, plaintiff afterwards went to
Paris, and while there it was that the criminal inter-
course took place. After his return his wife was
taken dangerously ill, and believing herself to be at
the point of death, she made a disclosure of her
guilt. A challenge was in consequence sent to
Captain Beet, but was withdrawn upon his posi-
tively denying the allegation. The plaintiff, how-
ever, had now the means of proof in his possession,
and had accordingly brought his action. The Learned
Sergeant then called the following evidence :
William Blackman, the parish clerk of Wybering
produced t he marriage registry of Alexander Pilfold
and Elizabeth Chapman, on tile 21st of January,
1825.
Mr. Hebbage proved the handwriting of the par-
ties to the registry.
Thomas Davey--Knew Lieutenant Pilfold of the
67th. Was in his service in January, 1827. He
was then stationed at Kew on detachment. His wife
was with him. Witness knew them before at
Sheerness and at Gosport, at which place he was
with the regiment. There were many married
officers in the regiment, and they visited occasionally.
Knew Captain Beet, and he came to Kew with a
detachment of the 21st. Captain Beet used to
come to r. Pilfold's house. Three or four months
after the arrival of Captain Beet Mr. Pilfold went to
France. Mr. and Mrs. Pilfold lived very much to-
gether before then, and on the most affectionate
terms. When he went away Mrs. Pilfold remained
at Kew. They parted at Kew Bridge. She re-
ceived letters afterwards, wh:ch she delivered to
Captain Beet to forward. Those letters were writ-
ten by Mr. Pilfold, and witness gave them to Capt.
Beet by her order. Captain Beet then frequented
the house more than usual. He used to knock at
the door, ask for Mrs. Pilfold, and walk up stairs to
the drawing-room. The girl's bed-room is next the
drawing-room, and her own room over it. He used
to come about four o'clock, and atop until eleven.
Mrs. Pilfold had a cousin with her, a female about
eleven years of age, and she was always when Capt.
Beet was there ordered down stairs, or to bed after
tea was over. She used to go to London every
week after her return from Bath,. where she went
for a short time. When Captain Beet was there
witness received orders never to go up stairs without
rapping or being called for. Had been sent out on
messages, and on his return found the maid servant
out. When she went to London Mr. Beet never
called. After he went to Windsor to join his regi,
ment he came to Kew again two or three times
Witness left Mrs. Pilfold's service in Nov. 1827
She discharged witness until his master should re.

turn. They had two children, both of whom died
young. I took two persons to see Mrs. Pilfold.
Cross-examined by Mr. BRouallAm.---I entered
Captain Pilfold's service in Jan. 1827; I first saw
Captain Beet when he came to Kew ; I was in
the same detachment as Mr. Pilfold ; his detach-
ment went to WindEor, but Mr. Pilfold remained at
Kew; this was about six weeks before Mr. Pilfold
went to France ; I saw Capt. Best on the first day
he arrived in Kew, and about a fortnight after I saw
him with Mr. Pilfold on Kew-bridge; about six
weeks after I saw him at Mr. Pilfold's house; Mrs.
Pilfold went to London oftem, and sometimes staid
two or three days ; it was before that she went to
Bath, where she staid a fortnight ; Captain Best was
constantly calling on her; that is to say, once, twice,
or thrice a-week; I was an in-door servant ; they
lived very friendly together ; they lodged first with
Mrs. Kirby, and Mrs. Kirby lived about a month
or two in the same house with them ; I do not
know what made Mrs. Kirby go up stairs when Mr.
and Mrs. Pilfold were locked in the room
together. I do not recollect Mrs. Kirby say-il
ing that she heard a scream, and that she was
sure that my master was beating my mistress. Ido
not recollect saying in reply, " Oh no, he is only
giving her a bit of a pat." Such a thing tnight have
often happened, and I not to recollect it. (A laugh.)
I saw Mrs. Kirby yesterday, but I did not tell her
that if she gave her evidence for Mr. Pilfold, he
would give her any money. I said nothing to her
about giving her money, or about her giving her
evidence. She said she did not know what she had
to say ; she did not know what she had come for.—
She did not turn me out of the room, nor did Mrs.
Beet. I did not tell Mrs. Kirby that if she gave
evidence against Mr. Pilfold he would have her into
the custody of a constable. I did not say to Eliza-
beth Allen that Mr. Pilfold would do right to take
Mrs. Kirby into custody. It was in this Court,
and not at the King's Arms, and Mrs. Kirby or
Mrs. Beet were not present. I used to sleep at the
barracks at first, but Capt. Beet would not allow trie
to sleep there any longer. This was before Mr.
Pilfold went to France. I was charged with pawn-
ing some property of my master's, and taken into
custody, but was let off on giving up the duplicates.
Re-examined---Elizabeth Allen \va s the servant,
and I told her that Mr. Pilfold ought to take Mrs.
Kirby into custody for her scandalous talk.
Elizabeth Allen--I lased to do needlework for
Mrs. Pilfold, at Kew. I afterwards lived with 1-er
as a servant, and remained with her until November,
but Mr. Pilfold was then in France. I knew Capt.
Beet; after the return of Mrs. Pilfold from Bath
he often called, and used to stay until hail-past
eleven or twelve o'clock. She brought a little girl
with her from Bath. This little girl used to spend
the evening with Mrs. Pilfold, except when Capt.
Beet was there, and on those occasions she spent
the evening with me. I was told never to come
into the room without knocking at the door when
Capt. Beet was there. Mrs. Pilfold was often ab-
sent ; she used to go in the moining, and generally
staid in town for a day or two. I have been at the
King's Arms since Monday. Capt. Beet has called
when Mrs. Pdford has been in London.

By Mr. BROUGHAM—I was examined by the
attorney for the plaintiff, and Davey was examined
at the same time. I have not said that Davey and
I gave a different account of what paed, but I
have said that I frequently contradicted Davey.
Charlotte Hodson—My father is a solicitor• at

Bath. lam between eleven and twelve years olcU
Mrs. Pilfold is my cousin; I remember her comiti
on a visit to my father in the sunsmer of 1827;
returned with her to Kew; I know Captain Beet'
and I saw him about three days after our return'
he used to come to the house often, and on those
occasions I used to be sent to bed earlier than usual'
or else to the kitchen ; I did not like this, but ,
did not cry about it ; I complained about it to the
ser rants.

.....
Lieutenant Beaufoy--I am in the 67th regiment;
I occupied the next barrack to Mr. Pilfold at Sheer'
ness; he and his wife appeared to me to be living
together on the best terms; he lived in a retired
manner, but some of the officers visited him ; this
was in June, 1826 ; I was at Sheerness about five
Months.
Sarah Jones—l lived at the Angel Inn St. Cie;
ment'a, as chamber-maid; I know Mr. Pilfold en°
Mrs. Pilfold they came to the Angel Inn, St.
Clement's, and remained therefor five days. About
October, 1827, I saw a lady and gentleman in their
bed-cotta at the Angel ; I took some water to then
in their bed-room, The lady was Mrs. Pilfold, and
the gentleman was Captain Beet. I saw him after'
%yards at Winchester in cornp:my with the officers/
and immediately recognised him. They did not
stop to breakfast; they had no luggage, and walked
away. I wits surprised at Mrs. Pilfold's being thete
with a gentleman who was not her husband, and I
rernarke% upon it to the other servants.
By Mr: BROUGIIAM—It was about the 12th 01
July that Mks arid Mrs. Pilfold came to the Angels
and it was about the middle of October that she
came with Captain Beet. I have once seen MO.
Pilfold since at an eating house in Holborn. I have
not seen Mr. Pilfold these two months. It was ie
August that I saw Mrs. Pilfold at the eating-house;
it Was in March last that I first told Mr. Pilfold of
this tic&irrence.
Wm. naitteto..-i was waiter at the Angel Inn
in 1827. I remember Mr, and Mrs. Pilfold stop'
ping there, and subsequently saw her there with
Captain Beet ; they came on a Sunday evening, and
went away the next morning; it occasioned a great
deal of remark.
John Lynd—l was a porter at the P..nth Hotel
in 1827; I remember a lady and gentleman ;:ti4ling
to the hotel and sleeping in No. 5. They had nd
luggage.; they breakfasted there next morning; I
was in an eating-house in Holborn, and saw two
ladies there, but I cannot positively swear that one
of them was the lady, but I believe she was; the
gentleman was Captain Beet, to the best of my
recollection.

Cross-examined.—l was sent fur to the eating'
house, and I saw one of Mr. Robarts' clerks there ;
Mr. Roliarts is attorney for Mr. Pilfold.
Davey recalled.--I was at the eating-house st
the time in question, and Mrs. Pilfold was there.
By Mr. BROUGHAM.--In Nov. 1827, I left M
Pilfold, and I saw him in April following at Brent-
ford.

Mrs. Wilson—l live in the Strand. I knot
Mrs. Paoli' and her father. In October, 1821
Mrs. PiVold took lodgings at my house; she used
to be backwards and forwards to Kew. Her bus'
band was then in France. I remember her dressing
for dinner one Sunday evening, and she said She
would return about eleven that night. She did not
return that night, but she came home the next
morning to breakfast. I remember a gentleman
calling there to deliver a note, but he did not leave
the note. His coat was black, but rather shabby.
I do not know that he was an officer.

Mr. 13 ROUG HAM —What sort of an officer you can..
not say, whether a King's or a Sheriff's officer P..--
(A laugh.) Witness--No. •
She lived with me, on and oil, till her husband
returned. Itrwas in October that she went out on
the Sunday evening. She wanted a bed-room firsts
and then said that it was for a gentleman.
Mrs. Gale—l live in Craven-street, in the Strand.
Capt. Beet lodged with me in October, 1827. t
one evening expected him home, and sat up till font;
o'clock for him, but he did not came home until
next morning to breakfast. I believe this was on a
Sunday night, and in October.
Hannah Chambers—l lived with Mrs. Gale in
October, 1827. Capt. Beet slept out one night in
Oct. He came home the next morning, and said that
he had made a mistake, and gone to the wrong
house. (A laugh.) It was on a Sunday night.
Mr. Hebbage recalled--I know Mr. Pilford since
his infancy. In March last year he was in a dread-
ful state, and suspecting that he was about to have

a hostile meeting with— Captain Beet, I went to
Windsor, and . saw Captain Beet, who denied the

charge of adultery with Mrs. Pilfold. I then uw
Mr. Pi (fold, and he gave further particulars in writ-
ing, which I shelved to Captain Beet. He again
totally denied the charge. I then suggested the
propriety of his writing a refutation before witnesses.
He did so, and no hostile meeting in consequence
took place.

By Mr. BROUGHAM—I was the means of pre-
venting this meeting. Mr. Pilfold was then living
in Harrison-street, Gray's Inn-road. I stated that
it was from Mrs. PiHold herself that Mr. Pilfold

had had part of the statement. She was very
ill, and made a. confession, thinking herself about
to die. I wrote a letter to Captain Brady. who was
to have been the friend of Mr. Pilfold.
Lieutenant Hanna—l am a Lieutenant in the
Army, and am married. My wife visited Mrs.
Pi{fold, when they lived at Sheerness, and I did
also. They appeared to live happily together.
Mr. Dailey—l am a medical man. In the spring
of 1848 I lived in Harrison-street, and attended
Mrs. Pilford in her illness. She was in a very de-
licate state of health, and apprehended that she
would die. She went to Stamford Hill, to the
house of a Mrs. Wilson, and Mr. Pilfold has since
then been living with me. Mrs. Pilfold has not
been living with him since.

By Mr:Brougham—She was very ill in February
and March. I attended her after she went to Stam-
ford Hill, which I think was late in Mardi; I do
not think it was in April, but the first time I saw
her was in April.
Re-examined—She was removed as soon as it was
possible to do so.
Mary Elizabeth Welch—l lived in Harrison-
street, at No. 12. Mr. and Mrs. Pilfold lodged
there. They left on ths! Bth of April. Mrs. Pil-
fold was very ill. Mr. Pilfold did not sleep
with her during her illness, nor ever afterwards
while they remained in the house. He slept on a
sofa in the drawing-room. Mrs. Pilfold has been
there often since, and Mr. Pilfold has been with her
every time. Mrs. Pilfold used to come, and Mr.
Pilfold used then to be sent for at her desire. Mrs.
Pilfold used to stop an how• or more. The 20th of
April was the first time they were there together,
and the last time was in May. While they re-
mained in the house there was no want of kindness
on his part towards her.
Archibald Macdonnell—l am a medical man, and
attended Mrs. Pilfold after Mr. Dailey. She was
very ill, and considered herself in danger. I consi-
dered her also in danger.
Mrs. Da!!cy—l am the wife of Mr. Dailey, the
surgeon. Mr. Pilfold has been for some time living
at our house. I went to Mrs. Pilfold to Stamford
Hill. A lodging was taken for her in Staffordshire,
and I went with her in July. She came to my
house and remained a few hours, after which she
went to Staffordshire. Mr. Pilfold then came to
our house, and has been living there since. He came
after she was gone.
This closed the case for the plaintiff.
Mr. BRoueinAm now addressed the Jury for the
defendant, and requested the most partieukr atten-
tion of the Jury to the case. He set out, in or-
der to save time, by at once admitting the fact of
adultery. There were, however, in this case, none
of the ordinary circumstances of aggravation. There
was nothing to excite the feelings : there were no
children abandoned—the lady was not seduced, if
seduced at all—after a long process of art--after
great resistance on her part--after long difficulty,
and virtue hardly purchased. No long siege was re-
quisite, according to what had been proved. On
