customary oaths to them, previously to their entering upon

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET.

Thomas Reed was charged with having some stolen
pieces of lead-pipe and several carpenter's tools in his pos-
session, in Throbald's-row, at twelve o'clock last night.—
He was stopped by a watchma❑ carrying the above arti-
cles, which he said he had found ; but the watchman de-
tained him.

The defendant persisted in havint, found them, and
stated that he had never been guilty of any dishonest ac-
tion. He had invented a dress by which persons could
enter houses on fire without being burnt. Far this ser-
vice he had received the thanks of Mr. Peel and oeveral
Learned Solicitors, but a partner had deceived him, and
he was now poor.
The things were wraps up in a carpenter's flannel
jacket. —He was remanded.

The Austrian Ambassador, Marquis DE PAL-
NIELLA, cod Sir BROOK TAYLOR (our Minister at the
Court of Berlin), had interviews with. the Earl of ABER-
DEEN on Saturday at the Foreign Office.
The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived in town

yesterday afternoon from Widmer Castle, Kent. His
Grace, after his arrival, was visited at his residence in
Downing-street, by the Earl of ABERDEEN, who had a
long conference with the Noble Duke.
The Duchess, and Prince GEORGE of CUM-
BERLAND, promenaded within the enclosure i■ St. James's
Park yesterday afternoon.
Sir GEORGE MURRAY has left the residence
of Mr. Secretary Net., at Stowe Hall, Norfolk, for
that of the Marquis of CHANDOS, at Wotton, Bucks.

We learn, with great satisfaction, that the
differences lately existing between the Head of a Ducal
House, and the Heir Apparent to the Family Honours,
which originated in an opposition of sentiment on a great
political question, are now completely and satisfactorily
adjusted It is only fair to add, that these differences
never had assumed the appearance of personality, and were
always greatly exaggerated by rumour. We wish we
could announce that the family harmony was complete in
all its branches ; hut we fear it does not yet extend to a
collateral connection of great personal weight and re-
spectability.—Morning Chronicle.

WELLINGTON BOLTED On Tuesday
week, at Doncaster races, when Minos, Jenny Mills, Wel-
lington, and Pilgarlick, were doing their best to win the
Corporation Plate, Wellington swerved from the course;
when a gentleman, deeply interes'ed in the race, exclaimed
" Wellington's bolted !" This term being alike applicable
to the levanters of the turf, the Duke of WELLINGTON,
who stood near the vociferator, was observed to turn sud-
denly round ; hut, recollecting, and assured that it was
the horse Wellington to which the gentleman had referred,
he smilingly resumed his composure, amidst the hearty
laugh of those who witnessed the circumstance.
DINNER TO LOlll3 DUNCANNON.—Lord
EBRINGTON, M.P., Sir JOHN NEWPORT, Bart., M.P.,
DANIEL O'CONNELL, Esq•, M.P., and ROBERT OTWAT
CAVE, Esq., M.P., are invited as guests to this entertain-
ment.—Dublin Morning Register.
We have heard the name of that excellent and
indefatigable magistrate, STEPHEN O'Mxawarm., Esq. of
Kilmoyler, mentioned as not having voted with the ma-
jority at the Thurles Meeting of Magistrates.— Tipperary
Free Press.

MELANCHOLY DEATH.—A few days since,
a farmer residing in the neighbourhood of Banbury, while
drinking a pint of beer, swallowed a way which was in
the cup, and so rapid was the inflammation, that he died
in a few hours.—Warwick Advertiser.

We are informed that there is at present twelve
feet of water in Lostiemouth Harbour, where it used to be
only nine.—Elgin Courier.

An uncommonly large quantity of goods were
sold in Bradford market on Thursday last, hut without
any advance in price.—Lceds Mercury.

An address was last night put forth from the
" Spinners'-room," with accusations against the master-
spinners, which, we fear, will preclude more than ever any
approach to an amicable adjustment of their differences.—
Manchester Advertiser.

The Herald yacht is expected here in the
course of next month, to embark Mr. TURNER. and family,
and Col. DAsuwooo and family, for South America.—
The former gentleman goes out as Envoy Extraordinary,
and the latter as Consul General to the Republic of CC).-
lombia. —Devonport Telegrap'i.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 26.

_We have no change to notice in any description of grain
at this day's market. The trade since Tuesday's market
las been generally dull ; our supplies, however, continue

imited.

THE II A RVEST.—The week of the autumnal
equinox, so often distinguished for its boisterous and un-
settled weather, has been one of the most calm and auspi-
cious sea,ons for the present harvest. Almost all the
wheat has now been secured i❑ this district, and far to the
north of us ; and the late oats and barley, as well as the
second crops of clover, are every (lay rapidly transferring
from the fields to the stack-yard. Another such a week
will render the joyous sound of " the harvest home" very
general.--Leeds Mercury.

DETERMINED SUICIDE.-This morning a
most determined suicide was committed by a man named
ROBERT Cantos, in the employ of Messrs. DALGLEISII
and TAYLOR, the coal-merchants in Scotland yard, West-
minster. It appeared that the unfortunate man, who was
between forty and fifty years of age, had been a gentleman's
s,Tvant, but had latterly been employed by Messsrs. DAL-
GLEISII and TArt.ott as a groom. Ile had addicted himself
to drinking, and had been intoxicated for the last four or
five days. Yesterday afternoon he was observed to be very
melancholy and low-spirited from the effects of the liquor
he had imbibed, and waa heard to say that he was a lost
man, and that he felt as if he could cut his threat. His
observations passed off unheeded, and no more was seen of
him till this morning at six o'clock, when one of the men,
on going into the stable, di•scovered him hanging by the
neck to the saddle-pet; against the wall, and quite dead.
Fortunately he has left no family to deplore his loss.

On Saturday an inquest was held at the White
Bear, Kingsland-road, on the body of HENRI- WHITE, an
infant, whose death was caused under the following cir-
cumstances :—On Tuesday evening the mother of the
deceased went into the shop of Mr. CARDINAL, oilman,
54, floxton Old Town, with the child in her arms. She
put the child on the floor while she bargained for some
article, and in a few minutes it was heard to cry, as if in
great agony, when it was discovered that it had swallowed
a strong solution of potash, which had been placed in a
cup on the counter. The child died the next day.
Verdict—Accidental death.

SINGULAR CONDUCT.—The following in-
stance of the mysterious conduct of a husband and parent,
deserves public notice. On Saturday morning, the wife
of a man who lives not a hundred miles from Cripplegate,
in this town, was brought to bed of twins. As the in-
fants were not likely to survive, those in attendance upon
the poor woman, at her request, with a view to secure
them christial burial, sent for a clergyman and had them
named. The propriety of this step was soon discovered,
as bath the childen died during the day. A coffin was
immediately ordered, which was brought to the house on
Saturday evening, by the joiner. At midnight tbe hus-
band of the poor woman, avowed his intention to take
away the bodies immediately. The mother, who, front
her sufferings and bereavement, was greatly in need of
rest and kind treatment, remonstrated against this strange
intention, and actually got out of bed with a view to pre-
vent him from carrying his resolution into effect. Her
cries and tears, however, produced no impression, and her
hush trl, in defiance of all decent custom, persevered in
his intention. Having put the bodies into the coffin, he
took them away, saying he was going to bury them. The
circumstance of a father, taking his two children away to
bury them at midnight, alone, has given rise to much
gossip, and various .rumours are afloat on the subject.—
Halifax Chronicle.
