UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE:

CAMBRIDGE, JAN. 26.—Our Senate House
Examination is just over. The numbers are
unusually large. The honours, &c. amount to-
gether to 206. Some years ago 100 was thought
a large year. The Senior Wrangler is a son of
CHARLES SHAW LEFEYRE, Esq. of Trinity. The
Syn:licate, which was appointed to consider of the
most eligible site for the FSDZWILLIAM Museum,
have reported that the most convenient place is
between KING'S COLLEGE and CATHERINE HALL.
Some arrangement, however, mast previously be
made with King's College, to whoai a consider-
able part of the ground belongs.

KEW PALACE, SEPT. 23... Her MAJESTY was
much composed on Tuesday, and received a visit
frimi the Prince Regent. After the interview
with his affectionate Mother, the Prince Regent
left Kew for London. Sir Francis Malan, Sir
Henry. Halford, and Mr. Brand, the apothecary to
the King, at whose house the Queen's medicines
have been made up since her long and of
indisposition, remained in attendance dining Tues-
day night. Yesterday morning, the Queen being
better from the refreshing sleep she had enjoyed
during the night, Sir Henry Halton' left Kew Pa-
lace after breakfast, for Windsor Palace, to take
his waiting on the King, and visit the Princess
Sophia. Sir Henry was expected to return to
Kew yesterday evening to attend her Majesty
again. . The Queen's appetite, we are concerned
to say, is very indifferent, and she takes but very
little refreshment. The weather proving remark-
ably 'fine yesterday morning, the Duchess of
Glnucesier and the Princes Augusta, after break-
fast, retired from their attendance on their afflict-
ectParent, and walked in the gardens attached to
the PalaCe. -The inquiries at Kew Palace respect-
ing the state of her Majesty yesterday were very
numerous.—(Court Circular.)

arising from the factions and virulent conduct of

SAVINGS BANKS.

• WC last week gavean-Extract from the -Ilan.;
able `Tract on this subject* writtrn by lust
liowLEs,E4,4q. and it is t subject of in,eresting a
description that we rake an eariy*opportmii7y
of insertifeg more observations of the same truly
public-spirited Writer. In the ,tnetin time we
state with pleasure, that at 'the last (being the
eighth) General -oUarterlY Meeting of the Ma-
naging Committee of the SOuthamplon Bank for.
-Savings,.held at the Guldhall, attended by most
.of the very respectable Gentlemen who have taken
an interest in the welfare of the Institution;: the
,nceounts were examined and balanced, when the
savings deposited.since the Ist.of „January; 1816,
were found to amount 0,512.01 3s. 1_0(1 and the
SUMS drawn Out by' the depositors, including in-
terest, amounted to 7661. 18s. 4d. The regula-
tions of the Institution„prev ions. to the passitkg of
the Act for Encouragement of Banks for Savings,
did not allow any depositor to invest or hold so
much as • 251. Many individuals, however,: not
knowing of suet) a restriction, and not knowing
how otherwise to secure their savings and reap
therbenefit of them, carve with sums of 251 -and
hirwards,•- and finding that the ;Antonin could not
-be received into the funds of the Institution, in-
vested their monies, tlitough the hands of the
Directors, in the publiC'funds, and the amount of
these investments was- found to be 22571. 83 11,1,,
The regulations have since undergone alteration,
under the direction of seyerd Noblemen G;m-
tlemen of the Trustees and Managing Committee,
so that depositors'are.now allowed to invest to
the extent prescribed by the Act of Parliament,
viz. 1001. the first year,, and 501. in every sub-
'sentient year.—The funds of the Institution are
wholly invested Government debentures.

FEVER IN IRELAND.

Sir J. NEWPORT gave notice, that on the SOth of April he
would move for a Committee t inquire into the state of Ire-
land, so far as related to the Contagious Fever which had of
late been so fatally prevalent in that country, and also rela-
tive to the situation of the unemployed poor in that country.
He was sensible that a measure of this kind would be much
more advantageously brought forward by the Executive Go-
vernment of Ireland, and therefore he would be very happy
to :esign his motion into such hands.
Mr. PEEL said, that he would long ago have brought be-
tore Parliament the subject mentioned by the Hon. Baronet,
but for the absence of the greater number of those Irish Mem-
bers whose presence was most desirable in the discussion of
it.. The l-pormurable Baronet would do hint the, justice to ad-
mit, that this subject had not escaped him, as he had sonic
eionmunications with the Honourable Baronet himself upon
it, and their opinions perfectly coincided. As to the state of
the unemployed poor, it was a question which be thought
certainly ought not to be mixed up with one so extensive and
important as the other`. He was satisfied that the matter
could not be in better hands than those of the Honourable
Baronet, and therefore be should leave it there.
Sir F. BURDETT presented Petitions from certain inhabi-
tants Irma Macclesfield, Preston, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
praying for Parliamentary Reform.—Read, and ordered to lie
on the Table.

Sir F. BURDETT then presented a petition from one James

SHIP NEWS.

MARGATE, idlltacH I.—Four higgers and a
smack, loaded chiefly with cotton, have come in
from the Marquis Wellesley East Indianian since
yesterday, and have landed and warehoused their
cargoes. The weather having now become fine
and moderate, more of her cargo is expected to
be got out next tide. The Lord
KEENE, remains.

RAMSGATE, MARCH H.—The Glory has been
got off and into the Basin the Argus remains in
the same state, but every effort is making to get
her off. The Asia remains nearly as betore, and
is unloading as fast as possible.

YARMOUTH, MARCH 11.--The vessel we men-
tioned yesterday as on shore is now stated to he a
brig of about 100 tons ; she was standing in and
struck upon the Newarp, and sunk, in seven fa-
thoms water. Our boatmen have been off to
her, and say that the top-sail yards were out of
the water, but just as they got to her she laid
down and disappeared. The masts were painted
white ; an iron buoy was floating between the
masts. It is very much feared that the crew have
perished. The Seven Brothers, IFENwicK, struck
on the Newarp last night, and the Master has
taken three extra hands on board in consequence,
to assist in getting the ship to London : she also
lost her fore-yard. The Mary, of Lynn, which
was on shore, has been got off, and into this
harbour.

LEITH, MARCH 9.—The Greenland ships got
out of the harbour on Saturday, and will sail from
the Roads this day. Notwithstanding the very
boisterous weather we have experienced, still we
have not heard of any (oases having taken place
on this coast.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Mr. BARCLAY rose to correct a mis-statement which had
appeared in a Morning Newspaper, as to what. be had said on
Tuesday night. He had not said that private individuals
who might subscribe to form a capital for a brewing concern
would be satisfied with a profit of ten per cent. What be
had said was, that such persons would probably be contented
with five per cent. The same Newspaper also represented
him to have said that he knew one Company who bad pos-
sessed themselves of leases of public-houses to the value of
half a million; whereas he had only said that they supplied
public-homes the value of whose leases would. amount to
half a million.

PURtAER PARTICULARS.—The following is the
substance of the e‘idence given before the Coro-
net's Jury, by Heztkiali Riley, the Captaio of
the boat w Bich contained the powder, anl/41 who
survived the explosion :
" That the end of one of the -barrels Was ont,
and had been matted tip; that all the barrels were
matted round, but the wood-end of one of them
had broken anti let out the powder, as this
intormAnt was carrying the barrel from the
boat into the warehouse; that the dowels, or
peg fa,venings, which bound the piece of the
end together, bad broken, and so loosened
the end and let oat the gunpowder; that he
never perceived the said end of the barrel to be
tlefect.ive, till he removed the barrel from the boat
to die warehouse; that on first setting down the
barrel from the boat on the wharf, a considerable
quantity of powters as much as 3 or 4 pounds, tell
on the what t side between the boat and the ware-
house door. He does not know whether or not
any of the powder tell from the barrel into the
boat ;, the barrels lay sidewise in the boat ; and
the barrel in question was delivered from the
boat to him, on the wharf, by,ll-eufamin Wheat-
ley, inn, .this intormant never saw, any powder
tali from the barrel moil and except upon the
landing.place of the wharf- ; that this examinant
put hack hog glue barrel the powder which so
tell taut: or as much of it as he could ; there might
be a couple of ounces or so lett amongst the d.rt ;
whether any had ta•lltu two the boat or no he.
cannot tell. Riley linving thus seen the pow'der,
as he conceived, safely deposited, Went away tn.'
Aardi the counting-house : and Joseph Musson
went across the wharf., to a boat, in which'was
Richard Alleock, and Joseph
Champion, and addressing himself to the former,
said—' `You've got a. lire in your boat, 1 want a
live coke ;' adding, Lads, going to hate a
flash or words :0 that effect. :Musson actor&
ingly took an igniied co'al,.•and.carried it a great.
part of the way between two sticks, but letting it
fall, he took it up itr. his hauls, and chucking it
from one to the. other, pi oceeded to the pot where
the ptiWder had been landed, and in a npAnent the
whole exploded, and precipitated biaiselt and 9
others into an eternal world."

Numbers of men have been employed in tl►e
yard ever since he calamity happened, but. the
rtti►is are 'not yet all removed. The amoukit, of
damage it is impossible, to calculate. The inquest
tsas held on, ;he bodies of the.untortuwite .suf-
ferets, ,at,the Navigation inn, on Tuesday last,
before lipury Enfield Jonathan Dunn, Gents.
Coronets, for the town and after a vtry minute
inquity into the circutiustances of the case,
the verdict returned was, that they all " did ac-
cidentally, casually, and by misfortune, to-wit,
by the explosion of a quantity of gunpowder,
come to their several :nd respective deaths.

Pnrcba,;e-tnoney is aid to be five miltions of dui-
iars, only one-third of what France received toy
the transfer of Louisiana. 'This report is SallC-
ti.tted by high commercial anatomy at home,
And corroborated by a paragraph in the New
york Papers, which states that the treaty is
ac' pally concluded, and "only waits the ratifiers-
tbm Ot the heads of the two Government's '*—
It is possibl-. however, that the late Revolu-
tion in tiie Spanish Ministry may prevent that
ratification from being giveo. I'or it is not tin-
likely tliat the charge of undue partiality towards
America, bi ought tors,vard against the disgraced
Ministry, was founded on the evident dispro-
portion between the value of the provinces to
he ceded, and the plice to be paid tor them.
In fact, the advantages gained by America in
the purchase %void(' be incalculable. Her States
would now form one sweep of undivided and un-
disputed territory, from the St. Croix to the Mis-
iissippi, a range of sea-coast, of unparalleled ex-
rent, as belonging, to a single Govet nment. While
the Floridas were s.pattish provinces, her south-
ern frontier was necessarilv exposed to hostile
irruption ; hot it is less it) a military than in a
naval a, d coinmereial point of vit,v that the ar-
quisitioo is precious. The additional harbours,
the admirable stations for dock-vards, the in-
creased facilities of commitoiemion with the kV sr
Indies and Smith Ametica, to the latter of which

markets the United States look with an soxiim,
eye ; these are the immediate and positive benefits
which would at ise from the annexatiun of the
Floridas (Ibid )

GUILDIIALL.

ISFAnOUS TRANSACTION.-Yetretday jOil
Al-
dirr, a ‘vatchinaa of St. Dunstan's, Flect-street,
and Mora Anderson and Suraft Taylor, two com-
mon pipost it ut es, were brought for re-examin-
ation before Mr. Alderman I.Voob, charged upon
suspicion of being concerned in a Most atrocious
highway robbery.
The facts of the case were briefly these
respectable young man, baMeti Baste!, was in
Ship-yard, Temple-bar, at an early hour on Fri-
day morning last, somewhat intoxicated, and
while standing there he was attacked by three or
four women of the town and two men, by whom
he was severely. beaten. Among these women
were the two female prisoners, who wet e most
active in the attack ; and Sarah Taylor struck him
ss ith such violence with some instrument, as to
cause the blood to gush from his eyes and mouth
in torrents. He pursued the woman Taylor into
Fleet-street, and here he was again attacked by
her and companions, and beaten almost senseless.
By a desperate effort, be succeeded in extricat-
ing himself from their grasp, and the prisoner
Aldin coming up, he desired him to take charge
of the woman Taylor. Instead, however, of doing
this, he seized hold of the prosecutor, and, in
conjunction with the gang, dragged him up Bell-
yard, and while the prostitutes and the two men
were busy in rifling his pockets, Aldin struck
hint several severe blows with a bludgeon in the
fncc, and on the breast• In this period the pro-
secutor was robbed of a 5/. and a 11. note with a
quantity of silver. The work of plunder hating
been completed, the prisoner Taylor, turned to
Aldin, and gave charge of Mr. 'Tassel for assaulting
her. Aldin immediately seized him, and with the as-
sistance of the gang by whom he had been robbed,
dragged him along the street to St. Dunstan's
watch-house, where the constable of the night
took the charge from Mrs. Taylor, and the prose-
cutor still bleeding in a dreadful manner, and
completely exhausted from the beating he had re-
ceived,
was locked up for the night. He was, on
the following day, • brought before Alderman
Wood, who, upon hearing his tale, ordered him
to be taken from the bar, and the three prisoners
to take his place.
His statement was further corroborated by a
Mr. and Mrs. Hathaway, two respectable persons,
who were going to Covent-garden market on the
morning in question, and were induced to follow
the prosecutor and the gang by seeing the blood
upon the pavement.' They spoke particularly to
the conduct of the two female prisoners and that
of Aldin.

The latter prisoner, an the present occasion,
brought forward two persons to speak in his be-
half, but their testimony tended rather to his eli-
mination than otherwise. - ' •

Mr. Basset, the prosecutor, attended, and re-
peated his former statement, without a single va-
riation, lie was still in a very faint state, and
wore a shade over his eyes.
Mr. Alden-limn IVooD, alter hearing the whole
of the evidence recapitulated by the different wit-
nesses, said he was clearly of opinion that the
three prisoners should be -committed for the fe-

BOW-STREET.

GROSS IMPOSITION.—Yesterday Jeremiah Kirke
was brought to the Office from the house of Mr.
Coutts, in Stratton-street, Piccadilly, and was
charged before Sir N. CONANT, under the following
circumstances, which appeared from the evidence
of Mr. Coutts's porterand others :—Sunday even-
ing the prisoner went to the house of Mr. Coutts,
and represented himself to be living at No. 13,
Vine-street, iVistminster, where he had six chil-
dren ; that his wife hid experienced the kindness
of Mrs. Coitus by a letter to lie-in at the Brown-
loW--street Hospital, anti that she had been deli-
vertil of twins in the Hospital on Saturday
night about. nine o'clock; that his wife died
on Sunday morning, and the Managers of the
Hospital insisted upon his taking the corpse
of his wife away that evening, and he had
a small sum of money to pay, which he could not
raise. The porter was moved with compassion
on account of the peculiarly afflicting circum-
stances stated by the prisoner, and Mr. and Mrs.
Coutts being particularly engaged at the time, so
that he could not make the prisoner's statement
known to them, be very humanely gave the pri-
soner a shilling, and collected 3s. 6d. more from
the other servants and gave him, with which he
went away. On the porter making the prisoner's
statement known to Mrs. Coitus, she caused in-
quiries to be made at the house where he said be re-
sided, and also at the hospital. The prisoner called
again at the' house of Mr. Coutts on Monday,
and represented one of his twin children to be
dead. The result of the inquiries was not then
known to Mrs. Coutts ; he was therefore desired
to call again. The particulars learnt upon the
inquiries are shocking to relate, as to the gross
impositions practised by the prisoner, under the
mask of pretended deep and affecting distress : it
turned out that his representation of having a
wife delivered of twins and dying, in Brownlow-
street Hospital, was a mere invented tale, to ex-
tort money from the humane—no such person
being in the Hospital, nor had any woman dii'd
there for a considerable time pant ; but the Ma-
tron bad heard of similar frauds having been com-
mitted upon persons by a similar invented tale of
woe: it was also ascertained that the prisoner
did not reside its the house in Vine-street, West-
minster, as he represented. The prisoner called
at the house of Mr. Coutts yesterday, when he
was taken into custody, and brought to the Office.
He was committed as a rogue and a vagabond till
the Sessions.

BOARD OF EXCISE, MAY 27.

SELLING GROUND BEANS AND PEAS FOR COFFEE.

REX V. SAMUEL HALLET.

The defendant Hallet, grocer and dealci• in tea
and (*Wee, residing in New Compton-street, St.
Giles's-inthe- fields, was charged with having
seven pounds of the imitatio❑ of coffee in his pos-
session, &c.

Charles Henry Lord,• an Officer of the Excise,
being sworn, stated, tliat he and Spencer, an 01ii,
cer, went on the 28th of Feb. last to the shop of
the-defendant, and asked for an "ounce of coffee,
at three h4lf-pence per ounce. He received the
s tme, and havii,g paid for it left the shop.—
He examined the:same at a house near where
the defendant- lived,
.and found it ' was part
coffee and part • the imitation coffee, or what
the defendant called vegetable im vder, which
13 nothing snore nor less than burnt beans and
peas ground in a mill. He went 'back to the de-
fendant's shop, and asked him to show him some
2s. coffee, not ground, which, upon examination,
'he found gennine. He the.. told the defendant
that he suspected that he commonly dealt in
adulterated coffee, and asked him if he had any of
the vegetable powder in his house : he replied;
that he had a small quantity, and took a canister
from a shell, which contain-ed'6 and 4.1 halt pounds
of the vegetable powder. He (witness) then
searched the place, and found some other coffee.
mixed with the vegetable powder, which was in
a slate apparently prepared for sale.
Spencer, an officer of the Excise, corroborated
the above evidence.

The 61b. awl a half- were a mixture of beans
and coffee, and the quarter of a l!7 eras the
same kind of stuff ground and ready for sale..

• .
The defendant said, that .he did nOt 'know he
was acting contrary to. the Excise Laws'by keep-
ing vegetable powder'; iii his possession ; that
he was obliged to sell the same at a low price, ur
he should lose his ett•tom.

A Commissioner stated., that he could not be
ignorant that he was acting illegally ; that by sell-
ing such abominable stuff, he ‘vis injuring the
health of the' public ; and .the Board of Excise
was determined to punish those found- dealing in
the illicit:manner described, with the utmost se-
verity.

The defendant was convicted in the penalty of
501.

REX V. HODGSoN.

The.4lfendant, Chalks HodgFon, rrsiditig at
Windsor-terrace, City-road, was charged with
selling tea without alicense. The witnesses, Lotd
and Spencer, stated that they had seized a (ran-
City of tea at defendant's house, having.pre-eionsly
purchased one pound of him, which they paid 7-s.
for. They leatned that. be was in.the habit of
selling tea, and he had no license.

On account of the defendant having a large fa-
mily, and promising to take otit:a license, he il'd6
Convicted in the -mitigated penally of 101.

POOR LAWS.

The Earl of SHAFTBr.BURY brought up the Re.
port of the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill.
The Earl of CARNARVON proposed a clause, tire
objdct of which was, to give Magistrates the
power (.f acting for the pauper in ease no meet-
ing of the vestry took place within the time re-
quired.—Tire clause was negatived.
Earl GROSVENOR objected to the clause which
provided that the poor rates should he paid by the
owners, not the holders, of houses or cottages, of
a rent between five and twenty pounds.
Lord REDE,DALE also objected to it, as having
a tendency to transfer the ownership of cottages
from the higher orders to others who would op-
press the poor. The clause, Ire admitted, tnivht
be wanted in towns such as Birmiugham, hut let
it be confined to the extent only to which it was
wanted. His Lordship proposed an alteration in
the wording, with a view to exclude cottages
front its operation.
Af:er some ,nversation between the Lord
Chancellor, itt e of Liverpool, the Earl of
Latulerdale, Lord 4! nnd the Earl of
Hardwicke, the House and Ow chute
was agreed to by a majority or 2 to 6.
The clause, however, tinder went some further
discussion, and the result was, that the final de-
cision upon it was postponed till ,o• morrow.
The Report of the Parish Vestries' Bill was
agreed to by the house.
The Prize Motley Regulation Bill was brought
up from the Commons, an'i read the first time.
ALIEN BILL.

Lord Viscount Sir/ MOUTH moved the second
reading of the Alien Bill, observing, that he
understood it winild better suit the convenience of
Noble Lords to debate the principle of the &II
uto the yin sT ion for going into the Committee.
,hotild, therefore,. postpone his statement of
the arontids ,nd object of the Bill till Monday,
When he proposed that the Bill should be corn-
mirud

Lord IioLL‘ND did not wish to interfere with
the understanding tor doslrning the discussion,
it such an undcrstanding had taken place; but
he wishcd it 10 he distiuctly understood, that he
shoal !eel it his duty to give hi 3 decided opposi-
tion to tie Bill.

Alter ► silort coi,versation the Bill was read a
secQnd time, and committed or Monday.

REWARDS ON CONVICTION.

The Marqn;s of LANs,DowNE, on moving the se-
cowl reading of the Bill for taking away the Re-
wards given to Police Officers and others, on the
conviction of offenders, observed, that as he un-
ders,ood opuositkin would be made to the
meacure, he would abstain from the painful re-
eral Tt the calamitcius effects which had suggested
an alteration of the law, and which were rapidly
laying the foundation of a system subversive of
the morals and justice of the country.
The Bill was then read a second time.
STATE OF THE PRISONS, &c.
The Marquis of LatisnowNe gave notice that he
would move an Address to the-Crown, on Wed-
nesday next, relative to the state of Gaols and
110,1ses of Correction throughout the Country,
with reference to the accommodation they were
capable of affording. The subject appeared to
hint of considerable importance, when he 'elected
on the great increase of crime which had taken
place for some years past.
