QUEEN-SQUARE.

A fellow named Jilarey, lodging in Ridley-court,
Regent-street, Chelsea, was brought up in custody,
for a dreadful assault on his wife, whotiAscreams had
drawn a mob round the house. It waS apprehended
that she had sustained internal injury; but a certifi-
cate from a surgeon stated that she was out of danger.
The prisoner was, however, discharged.
Elizabeth Dodd was charged with an assault on
Jos. Tucker and his wife, of 10, Elizabeth-street,
Pimlico. The defendant, with another woman, it
appeared, had gone late at night, and knocked vio-
lently at Mr. T.'s door. He at first refused to go
down stairs; but they proceeded with increasing vio-
lence, for twenty minutes, so as to compel him to
rise and open the door. The other woman then cut
off their retreat, and the defendant seized Tucker by
the collar and tore his coat, and then assaulted his
wife and tore her bonnet and shawl, and struck her
twice on the face. It appeared that Tucker had
lived with the defendant six years befdee, and the
wife and she exchanged bitter reproaches. Tucker
stood between them to prevent mischief. The de-
fendant claimed a gold ring, which Tucker said was
in his father's possession. It was sent for, and de-
livered up to the defendant, who was discharged.

LAMBETH-STREET.
Mrs. .Rachael Wilkinson, who was charged some
time ago with ill-treating her daughter, and even
with denying her the common necessaries of life, at-
tended before the Magistrates, to explain why she
had not fulfilled the condition on which sbe was be-
fore discharged, namely, that she should provide
her daughter with suitable apparel, to enable her to
accept a situation offered her in a respectable board-
ing-school at Bow.

The Magistrate told her, that as she persisted in
acting with cruelty, he should at once bold her to
bail to keep the peace towards her daughter. As
nobody came forward to bail her, she was locked up,
and finally discharged, on promising to pay a to
equip her daughter fir her situation.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—Oct. 24.

We have not had much business transacted at this day's
market; but on the small sales effected there was an ad-
vaice on Wheat of 2d. per bushel (4701 b. obtained on
Tuesday's prices, and the holders generally appear more
firm, with a prospect of further advanced prices being
obtained ; and the country markets also appear better.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

VERRING AND ANOTHER V. TUCKER AND ANOTHER.

This case, which has been already twice before submitted
to a Jury, occupied the Court the entire morning, and was
not concluded when our Reporter left. It is an action to
recover possession of some title deeds which belonged to a
person named Wedger, previous to his bankruptcy and to
whom the plaintiffs are assignees.

DOVER, SEPT. 2.

The weather having proved delightfully fine for
the last two or three days, has induced numbers to
sojourn at this delightful watering-place, and enjoy
the cool sea breezes, and the various amusements
going forward in the town. The Rayner Family
(Tyrolese Minstrels) exhibited their attractive
powers yesterday, at the King's Arms Assembly
Rooms, and a repetition► takes place this evening.
Mathews and Yates obtained a bumper house at the
Theatre, on Friday evening, and are gone to enter-
tain, by their inimitable abilities, the good folks at
Boulogne and other parts of France, where there
are large quantities of cousin Bulls. The alteration
in the weather appears to have a great effect upon
the passage to and from the Continent, no less than
17 noblemen's and gentlemen's carriages having
been embarked to-day for Calais and Boulogne.

His Majesty's packet Salamander sailed with the
mail, despatches, nine carriages, and between 80
and 90 passengers, to Calais; atnnngst whom were—
Colonel Bentinck, Col. Blackburn, Dawson,
Stephens, Bruere, Potter, and
Richardson, Esqrs. The carriage of
Richardson, Esq., being, as is supposed, mistaken
for that of Mr. Rothschild, two attempts were made,
on different parts of the Kent road, to rob it, by
cutting through the back part with sharp instru-
ments. Both attempts were detected by Mr.
Richardson, who alighted, and knocked the first
fellow down with a stick. In the second attempt,
which occurred at the distance of three miles from
the former, Mr. Richardson gave the fellow a com-
plete drubbing, so as to occasion him to remember it.
The Medusa steam packet sailed with two car-
riages and a number of passengers to Calais, amongst
whom were Mr. and Mrs. Archdeckne.

The steam vessel Sovereign, Cap'. J. Hayward,
sailed with three carriages, freighted to Boulogne
by the Earl of Beverley and suite.
The steam vessel Royal George, Capt. W. Hay-
ward, sailed with three carriages, freighted to
Boulogne by N. M. Rothschild, Esq. and suite.
Arrived his Majesty's steam packet crusader,
with despatches, and 68 passengers. Also arrived
the Britannia steam vessel, from Boulogne, with
passengers; and the French packet, with the mail.
It is now ascertained, beyond a doubt, that the
person who arrived in the Royal George, from
Boulogne, on the 22d ult., and died, as stated in a
preceding Paper, from the effects of liquor, was a
son of a highly respectable lady, named Taylor, at
B oulogne.

A letter has been received from CHARLES
KIMBLE, dated Cork, in which he says that he intends
to be in London and will certainly attend the meeting
that is advertised for Wednesday next of the creditors of
the theatre and patrons of the drama.

DONCASTER MEETING.

The Earl of Chesterfield, who is Steward of these Races,
contributes in every way to their being more than usually
celebrated this year. His Lordship has taken four homes
near the Race Course, and sends his establishment in order
to entertain a very large party from London, to meet the
Duke of Wellington, who does Lord Chesterfield the honour
to visit him during the Race week, an event of which his
Lordship may well be proud.
_ .

The following distinguished personages are invited by the
Noble Earl to have the honour of meeting his Grace
The Prince and Princess Esterhazy, the Earl and Coun-
tess of Belfast, the Earl of Roselyn, Lady Janet St. Clair,
Marchioness of Tavistock, Mr. and Mrs. Arbuthnot, Earl
and Countess of Jersey, Lord Melbourne, Lord Clanwil-
liam, Hon. J. Townshend, and various other fashionabks.
The Earl of Chesterfield, with his usual noble feeling, drew
his horse Zingamee at Goodwood Races, and sent him to
Doncaster, for fear of causing any disappointment there.

WILD GEESE.-011 Monday last a nume-
rous flock of wild geese were observed passing over Chel-
tenham in a northerly direction, an unusual circumstance
so early in the Autumn.—Cheltenham Chronicle.

Sir ASTLEY COOPER is at present amongst
the visitors at Cheltenham. On Wednesday he enter-
tained the faculty of that town with a splendid dinner at
the Plough Hotel.—Butte Chronicle.
Extract of a letter from Borris•o'-kane, dated
August 31 :—lt is gratifying to state the excitation of the
public mind on the late trials at Clontnel is not, although
of an alarming nature, of that frightful description which
is represented in some of the public prints. It was cur-
rently rumoured that a re-action would have taken place
yesterday, and that multitudes from the surrounding pa-
rishes would have been in town, but so little did Major
CARTER credit the report that he sent the police to their
respective places of worship, a number of whom are Bo-
man Catholics, and the town during the time of divine
service never appeared more tranquil. It has been stated
that a large military force is stationed here, and that pre-
parations are at present being made for the accommoda-
tion of a still larger. There are only forty soldiers here
entirely, and it is considered that number, instead of being
augmented, will be diminished. It has been stated that
the Protestants of the place have their houses barricadoed,
in anticipation of a general attack. I have talked with
several of them, who laughed at the report, who say they
never lived on better terms with their Catholic neighbours,
and openly express their indignation at the affair at
Borris-o'-kane, which they say could be avoided, if any
man of spirit and influence had been there at the time. We
have not a single word about the introduction of the In-
surrection Act ; and I have been informed by some of the
most active magistrates, that they are under no apprehen-
sion whatso.ver re'peetirg the peace of the county.--

_ .
The answer was, that it did not appear that any
spoliation had taken place, except in the instance of
eatables and drinkables: whoever did Miss Wheeler
the favour of visiting her over the rails, certainly
was indebted to Providence for a good appetite.
It was further stated that Miss Wheeler was,
without question, in the habit of spending her nights
out of the house, and in elegant disguise too. It
was found-that the clothes of a young lady who had
been on a visit to the house, were very much soiled
and dilapidated, although they had never been worn
by the owner. The clothes were, however, all re-
stored to their proper place.
The LORD MAYOR asked whether the prisoner's
boxes had been searched ?

To this it was answered, that the search after
stolen property had been quite unsuccessful ; but
there was found in the corner of her box,. mapped
up carefully, a document which might have led to
those unseasonable and unfortunate assignations,
which at last terminated in the watch-house. Here
a paper was handed to the Lord Mayor, in which
was folded a card, on which were written the fol-
lowing words;—

" Mrs. Smith, No. 49, Went worth.street, dress-
maker. " Lawful questions resolved."

The paper was evidently an answer to the ques-
tion—a What sort of a husband shall r have, and
how soon shall I have him ?"

The LORD MAYOR ;;;d the answer aloud. It
stated, that the interrogator should have a nice re-
spectable tradesman, who should be a most tender
husband, and be the father of six children, of which
she should be the happy mother; that certain planets
were visible at their birth, and in conjunction at the
time, a symptom which betokened feliCity, and that
the union should take place as surely as the prophet
who wrote the paper had the power of predicting.
The LORD MAYOR thought the last condition a
very reasonable one.

'i'he prisoner did nothing all this time but weep.
Mr. Austin acted with a great deal of humanity.
He showed not the slightest disposition to have the
girl punished any further, but hoped that what had
taken place would not only serve as a caution to the
masters of houses, but to the servants.

The LORD MAYOR, whose countrywoman she is,
directed that the young woman should be sent home
to Wales, after having advised her never to take
the advice of a ruler of the moon and stars again.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, SEPT. 3.

These sessions commenced this morning before
F. Coast, Esq., and a Bench of Magi,trates.
Thomas Barrable was indicted for stealing a
watch, value 305., the property of James Postill.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN told the prisoner the Court was
not disposed to deal over rigorously with him, and
therefore only sentenced him to be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for six calendar months.

Several youthful offenders were convicted of pick-
ing pockets and other petty larcenies. Such of them
as were known to be hardened thieves, were sen-
tenced to be transported, and the rest to various
minor punishments.

SHERIFFS' COURT, SEPT. 3.

lIARDING V. ALLEN AND OTHERS.

Mr. C. PHILLIPS stated the case. The plaintiff
was a butcher, residing near the Regent's-pack, and
carried on an extensive business, by which he de-
rived a profit of about 5/. a-week. Two of the de-
fendants, Messrs. Allen and Anthony, were, he
would in justice to them state, respectable solicitors,
residing in the city of London. The other defend-
ant was a sheriff's officer. The circumstances that
gave rise to the peseta action were as follow I—On
the 29th of April the plaintiff was sitting at home
with his family, when the defendant Sloman and an-
other officer called, and producing a warrant, ar-
rested him for a debt of 801., alleged to be due to a
Mr. Norris, an attorney, at Manchester, for his bill
of costs under a certain commission of bankruptcy.
In vain the plaintiff declared to them that he knew
nothing whatever of Norris, and that he was
not the person named in the 'warrant. In vain
he called up his landlord and his son-in-law,
who confirmed his statement; .the officers would
not listen to him, but dragged him off at once to
Whitecross-street prison, where he was kept six
weeks and two days before he obtained his libera-
tion. Ile then called several witnesses, who proved
the case for the plaintiff.
The Jury, af7er a short consultation, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1501.
The damages were laid at 5001.

The supplies of foreign Corn are good, of English mo-

of fine weather has made the Wheat trade se very heavy,
that scarcely any sales can he effected this morning, even
at lower prices than on Monday. Barley, Beans, and
Pease, each yrn take of the general dullness. There is
little doing in the Oat trade, and Monday's tate,: are with

EXPEDITION AGAINST MEXICO.

The following notice respecting the expedition
against Mexico appears in the French Papers

" MADRID, AUG. 20.

" Our Government has recived despatches, which
announce officially that the expedition left the Ha-
vannah on the sth of July,—that it was composed
of 3,600 men, a company of artillery without can-
non, 100 officers, but n) officers or engineers, as the
chief of the expedition had declared that he did not
want one. The fitting out of this expedition has
cost half a million of dollars (two millions and a half
of francs) ; and the treasury of the Havannah is in
such a state, that if any extraordinary expenses were
necessary, the Intendant-General would find himself
in the greatest possible embarrassment, as it appears
that during the season of the dog-days he will have
great difficulty in meeting the ordinary expenditure
of the island, as during that season the arrival of
foreign merchant ships in the island diminishes very
much, from she dread of the yellow fever—and, in
consequence, the receipts of the custom-houses fall off.
" The Government has received pretended copies
of the proclamation that the Chief of the expedition
is to circulate in the country as soon as he shall have
landed. The place of landing is not known, as in
the copies printed there is a blank for its insertion.
" Letters from the Havannah do not augur well
of the result of the expedition, in consequence of the
smallness of the force and the incapacity of the Ge-
neral ; for the commanding officer is General liar.
radas, and not General Miranda, as has been assert-
ed, the latter having declined.
" The principal reliance of the Spaniards is upon
the partisans they have in the interior. It is ex-
pected that they will declare themselves as soon as
they see the Spanish flag displayed.
" The packet-boat which brought the despatches
for the Government did not quit the port of the
Havannah until the expedition was in the open sea,
and tap to that moment the place of landing was not
known."—Journal du Commerce,

Several families which had left town for the
sea-side, it is paid, have been driven back again by the late
tempestuoes weather.

BURKE THE MURDERER.

(Prom the Edinburgh Evening Post.)
As every thing relating to the ruffian Burke may
be interesting at present, we add the following par-
ticulars about him during his residence in. the pa.
rish of Peebles :—He and Helen M‘Pottgal resided
in that burgh in the years 1825 and 1826, and part
of 1827. " I find," says our corTespondent, 4 that
he is a native of Armagh, in the north of Ireland;
that he was a Roman Catholic; was labourer, and
employed ia.working on the roads and in cutting
drains. He made considerable pretensions to reli-
giOn; as I recollect, on my first Visit. to his house, he
. had one or two religious bockt lying neat
which; he said, he read,--.being,: at that time; 'Con-
fined by a sore leg. He teetned a Man of quietmanners-; and, on my queitioning him about hia
country and profession, there appeared a mystery
about him. Since he has gained A guilty notoriety,
I .haye Made inquiries among his neighbours- of hit
character : and I:am informed that he was arcin.
offensive man, but that he kept suspicious hours.--
On the Saturday .nights and the Sabbath-days his
was theteene of riot and drunkenness. with
the lowest of his countrymen. -When' he left_
place he owed the woman from whom hi rented his
room between' 40 and 5(1 shillings. He was.,thea
-going to the' harvest, and promised to return' and
pay the rent, which he never did. On application:
being made to him afterwards in Edinburgh for pay-- •
ment, he sent word to the woman to Meet him at
the head of Eddlestone Water, a wild and desolate
part of the road leading from this place to Edin-
burg. The Meeting was to be at ten. o'clock at
night, when he would pay her. Recent disclosures
have fully proved for what purpose such a meeting
was to take piaci. He is now about 37 years of age.
" Helen.M4Dougal told me she was his wife, • •
and always passed as such in this parish. She had
no children by Burke, but a daughter of the name
of Dougal by a former marriage, as she pretended.
She is a native of Muiravonside parish, in Stirling-
shire; Her character was not so good as Burke's.
She it about his age.
• 7" In the Post of Saturday last you term Burke's
4' a, pretended trade as a shoemaker, and I consider
you are correct. 'He passed 'here as a labourer; and
I believe he was no trade whatever."

you may remember was hit by Colonel Snvell in a similar
affair some years since. The quarrel not having been a
deadly one, the !twat!, interfered after the first fire, which
had fortunately produced no bad effect. ' Now,' said Hall,
a very spirited young man of fashion, ' I fired purposely
wide, let use show you what I ran do ; put up that hat on

as you please.' This was complied with, anti he drove

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of English Wheat this week is very small,
but of ail other Grain consider&de, especially of Foreign
Wheat and Barley. There is also a good arrival of Fleur
coastwise. The briskness of Monday in the Wheat Trade
has entirely subsided to-d iy, as the supply from abroad is
so very large ; and, although prima cannot be stated lower,
there has been very little dune this morning. Barley is
very heavy in sale. Beans and Pease are unaltered. Oats
maintain the terms last quoted, with a slow sale. Flour
continues to meet a very shark demand.

It appeared that on Saturday forenoon, the pri-

house, stating that it contained 204 worth of pro-
perty, which she was about to send to a gentleman
at Van-Dieman's Land. She went away, and after-
wards returned with, inother " valuable " parcel and
her fellow-prisoner,
,and they partook of a luncheon
(of bread and cheese, brandy, &c. Dinner succeed-
ed, and Mrs. Collins and her " brother," as she
called her companion, passed the afternoon hours in
an agreeable tete;a-iete,ln the, course of which they
shared five shillings'•worth of wine, five glasses of
brandy and water, and in due time an order was
given for tea. Tea was accordingly. made, and by
way of tonic each cup was strengthened by a glass
of brandy. Their bill now amounted to 14s. 9d.,
and the landlord intimated his wish fora settlement
of the reckoning, but the:parties had no money,
and Mr. Hopgood, a respeetable tradesman, of whom
the female had spoken very familiarly, was sent to.
He accordingly attended, and said the man was a
stranger to him, but he recognized Mrs.• Collins as a
worthless person whose former paramour had been
transported for life, and he advised the landlord to
send both the prisoners to the watch-house. The
advice was followed, but the lady, as she was led
from the house, demolished all the glass within her
reach. The 20/. parcel, on being opened, was found
to consist only of old newspapers not worth so many
pence, and the other parcel contained some cotton
articles of no value.
A conversation had been overheard bet Ween the
prisoners while in separate cells at the watch-house,
in which the female said, " Henry, Mr. Hopgood
don't know you're in England :" and on referring
to the Hue and C,y, it was found that a convict,
named Watson, whose description corresponded
with that of the prisoner at the bar, was found to
have escaped from Botany Bay in 1827. He was
therefore remanded on suspicion of being the escaped
convict. Yesterday, however, some of his relatives,
who appeared to be respectable persons, proved, to
the satisfaction of the Magistrate, that lie had never
been so situated; and his brother having defrayed
the landlord's charges for eatables, drinkables, and
about 7s. Oil, for the glass broken by Collins, both
the prisoners were discharged out of custody.

COBURG THEATRE.

Monday night a new Melo-drame, in t acts, under
the title of Zandodura, or the Vengeance of the fie
deemed Captive, was produced at this theatre. The
plot is simple, and is evolved with considerable
ingenuity, so much so as to have commanded, ill,
most of its incidents, the acclamations of a crowd
house. Mr. COBHAM, as Don Juan Yriarte, di
tinguished himself by the spirit and judgment with
which he seized on, and gave prominent effect to
the leading traits of the character. Altogether the
play was well, and deservedly so, received, and bid
fair to become a favourite. It was repeated lost

INDIGO SALE.—This morning the East
India Company's sale of Indigos, which had been adjourned
from Friday last until today, on account of the Jewish
holidays, recommenced. The attendance this morning of
persons engaged in the Indigo trade was very limited, and
the biddings very heavy. Up to this morning about 3,500
chests, out of nearly 8,000 declared, passed the sale. The
withdrawals of Indigo, as far as the sale has proceeded,
have been much larger than usual. In the markets on
the Continent there are comparatively few orders, so that
prices are expected to be lower. The holders of Indigo
do not at all appear disposed to accept the prices offered.
The prices obtained at the sale in October, last year,
averaged from I s and Is. 9d. to 2s. per lb. higher than
at the present sale.
MELANCHOLY AFFAIR.—Last week a wo-
man who lived at Carroll Shore threw herself into the
liver, a little to the north of Grangemouth, under pecu-
liarly painful circumstances. It appears she and her old
father lived in the same house, and the slanderous tongues
of some of their neighbours having blabbed forth a story
not more unnatural than unlikely, the unfortunate woman
deemed herself and her character for ever blasted, and un-
der the influence of her agonised feelings committed the
rash act. Her body was found next day.— Glasgow

ST. LEONARD'S.—SPLENDID HOTEL, EX-
TENSIVE BATAS, AND MODERN VILLAS.—JAMES BUR-
TON, Esq. the eminent builder, to whom Russell-square,
Tavistock-square, Euston-square, Burton-crescent, and all
the capacious streets in that part of the metropolis owe
their erection, has laid the foundation of an entirely new
town, on a delightful and picturesque spot, near the sea,
at St. Leonard's, about a mile from Hastings, to the West,
The first stone was laid in March, 1828 ; and such has
been the activity of Mr. BURTON, that one of the largest,
most convenient, and pleasantly situated hotels in this
kingdom is already finished, to which spacious baths, upon
a large and quite a novel scale, are appended. Many
villas and houses of the first class are likewise in progress.
The ground is laid out, and the plantations and decorative
embellishments far advanced. Not having previously
heard of this new speculation, on which it is said nearly
two honflred thousand pounds, at least, are soon likely to
be expended, this place came upon the writer of this para-
graph, on a late tour, like fairy-land. It is quite impos-
sible that St. Leonard's should not become the resort of the
highest fashion, both in summer and in winter, for it is com-
pletely sheltered from the north winds by very high rocks.

DROITWICH, OCT. 19.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stu,—Please to insert the following lines, which
will much oblige,

Your most humble servant,
WILLIAM ROBSON JAQUES, Surgeon.

A paragraph of the most vile and scandalous tend-
ency having appeared in your valuable Joernal of
the 17th inst., relative to the moral and religious
conduct of the inhabitants of the parish of St.
Nicholas, in the Borough of Droitwich, and as a
resident of the latter place, and an intimate friend
of the late Rev. Jonathan Jaques, who was upwards
of 32 years Rector of the parish of St. Andrew
(town church), which adjoins the parish of St
Nicholas, I therefore think it my incumbent duty
to contradict the major part of that statement, as
being made up of the most palpable falsities. In-
deed I should imagine that one of the infernal
deities was present at the time to direct the cogita-
tions of the author and his pen. It is true, the
church is in a most ruinous and dilapidated state,
and that the parish is also without a minister, but
nevertheless, all the rites and ceremonies of the
Protestant Church, to my certain knowledge, have
been duly performed during the whole of the mini-
stry of the much-lamented Rev. Jonathan Jaques,
who I can positively assert, was ever willing and
anxious to discharge every clerical duty for their
spiritual improvement and welfare, when required,
Considering them always as a part of his flock. It
may be worthy to remark, that the town church is
very large and commodiously built, calculated to
contain the entire number of the inhabitants of St.
Nicholas, her own population being very small.
I must also beg leave to state, that the parishioners
of St. Nicholas have received a baptismal natne, and
have been as early and regularly christened, as in
any other other parish which I am acquainted with,
which the registers kept at St. Andrew's will suffi-
ciently testify, and prove the fact.
