HAMBURGH MAIL.

VIENNA, SEPT. 3.—Count Von Mittrowsky, the
chief Aulic Chancellor, died yesterday evening.
Count Von Medoni, the Russian Ambassador at
his Court, is going immediately to Johannisberg, in
consequence of instructions from his Court, which is
so far worthy of remark, as none of the representa-
tives of the other great Powers has this time followed
Prince Metternich, owing to the present tranquil state
of political affairs. •

WARSAW, SEPT. I.—The journals of to-day say
that a telegraphic dispatch, the date of which they do
not give, has been received from St. Petersbuqh,
announcing that the Grand Duchess Mary, consort of
the Imperial Prince Alexander, has been delivered of
a Princess, who has received the name of Alexandrina.

DRESDEN, SEET. 3.—The scarcity of water, in
consequence of which the mills can grind much less
than usual, has not only caused the pece of bread in
this city to be doubled, but has even caused breed to
be scarce. A baker who sold bread of bad quality and
short of weight was driven out of the city by the people.
Scarcely a day passes without bringing accounts of
some great fire.
The Leipsz,g. Gazette has a letter from Libentz of
September 1, which says, "An awful conflagration,
which broke out yesterday at noon, is ravaging the
noble forests on the frontiers of Saxony and Bo-
hemia. •It commenced on the Bohemian side, and in

The most rational motives to Lzfe Assurance are found in
the plan adopted by this Society ; viz. joined to a secure
provision at death for inheritors of the Assured, the Society
affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-

WATCHES by WEBSTER AND SON,
Chronometer Makers to the Lords of the Admiralty,
established 132 years, 3, Birchin-lane. The finest description
of Watches at the lowest prices, consistent with maintaining
that character for superiority of workmanship which has dis-
tinguished their establishment dining so long a period. The
Compensated Duplex Watch, upon the principle of their Chro-
nometers, to which Government awarded the prizes three suc-
cessive years, combines perfect accuracy with the utmost ele-
gance, and is not surpassed by the Pocket Chronometer. W.
and Son have devoted considerable time and attention to the
manufacture of the Patent Lever Watch, and considerably
reduced the price; likewise the small Horizontal, for ladies.
They car, offer a large selection of Second-hand Watches, at
little above have the original cost. The utmost value allowed
for old Watches, in exchange. The most experienced work-
men in the repairing department are employed on the premises,
for foreign and English manufacture.

MARYLEBONE.

Robert Drummond, a most respectably dressed man
was placed at the bar before Mr. Long on a charge
of assaulting police constable 102 D, while in the
execution of his duty. .

The complainant stated that while on duty yester-
day night a little before 12 o'clock in the Harrow-
road, he saw a person standing, in a
scorner caused by
a projecting house, on the opposite side of the way,
and he crossed over to look who it was. While
glancing at the defendant's face, for it was he, he re-
ceived a violent blow in the stomach, from the effects
of which he was yet suffering, and as he also used
abusive language and threatened further violence he
took him to the station-house. The defendant had
evidently been drinking.
There were no other witnesses present at the time.
The defendant denied the truth of the complainant's
statement, and said that he had been supping with
Mr. Gore, a neighbour of his, and had left him about
half-past eleven. On his way to his own house he
dropped in at the " Crown," where had one glass of
ale, and spoke a few words to the landlord; he then
left, and was standing upon the step of his own door,
having just rang the bell, when the policeman came
over and collared him, saying—" What are you doh).-
there ?" He (defendant) then did what he conceived
any respectable man would do in the same
circumstances, pushed off the policeman rather
smartly, telling the policeman at the same
time that he was at his own door. There was no
other person near, and he would call a neighbour as
witness to his sobriety at the time.
Isaac Toun said he saw Mr. Drummond while
standing at the bar of the Crown, and he was per-
fectly sober.
The defendant said he could also call the landlord
of the Crown and Mr. Gore, but Mr. Long wished to see
the Sergeant who took the charge at the station-house.
Sergeant Conolly was called, and said that the pri-
soner, when taken to the station-house was very tipsy.
Mr. LONG said he believed the constable's: statement
to be the correct one, and would, therefore, fine the
defendant 405., for the assault.
The money was paid, and Mr. Drummond left the
Court.

THE MARKETS.-(YESTERDAY.)

COHN EXCHANGE.

Although we have, received a very moderate ar-
rival of English wheat up to our market this week,
the demand for that article to- day was excessively
heavy, and Monday's quotations were with difficulty
supported, without affecting advances. Scarcely any
foreign wheat has come fresh to hand, yet so heavy
was the sale for it, that the prices remained nominally
unaltered. Barley was a mere drug, and might have
been purchased on easier terms. The same may be
said- of Oats. Malt, Beans, Peas, and Flour com-
manded little attention.

Our market to-day was but moderately supplied
with Beasts, in the quality of which a trifling im-
provement was apparent. Those on sale, with the
exception of about 50 horned and polled Scots, by
sea, from Aberdeen, were the refuse of Monday's
market, and in which may be included four from
Portugal. The best Beef sold at full rates of cur-
rency; but the middling and inferior descriptions
were much neglected. Although the number of
Sheep was comparatively small, the inquiry for them
was dull, at previous quotations. Calves were in good
supply, and heavy demand, at in some instances a de-
cline of 2d. per 81bs. The Pork trade was in a very
sluggish state. Milch Cows went off at from 16/ to
19/ lOs each, including their small Calf.

WORSHIP-STREET.

George Johnson alias "Black George," William'
Styles alias Bayes, and Alfred Herring, lads under
18 years of age, were finally brought up charged,
conjointly with Rosina Homer, a young prostitute,
with having been concerned in stealing from an
omnibus a quantity of ladies' mittens, the property of
Mr. Wright, a purse and mitten manufacturer, in
St. Thomas's-square, Hackney.
It appeared that on Saturday last the property
was entrusted to the care of one of Saunders s Hack-
ney Omnibus conductors with directions that he was
to leave it at the booking-office attached to the
Flower Pot in Bishopsgate-street. On reaching
Cambridge-heath turnpike, the conductor got off the
steps of the omnibus for the purpose of soliciting a
fare, and the instant he had turned his back, the
prisoner Johnson who had been lurking in the neighbour-
hood, jumped into his place and called out " All right,"
to the driver, who proceeded on his journey. There
was only one passenger in the omnibus, who got
out at the corner of Houndsdith, and as he was going
away, called the attention of Johnson to the box con-
taining the property which was lying on the seat, and
the latter answered that is was "All right." On the
arrival of the omnibus at the Flower Pot, the prisoner
Johnson had disappeared ; but the real conductor
came up soon after on another omnibus, and on mak-
ing search for the box he found it apparently undis-
turbed, and delivered it into the care of the book-
keeper. On the same evening the prosecutor called
for the box, and being struck with its lightness of
weight, he removed the lid, and found that it was
empty.
Evidence having been given against the parties,
who were all implicated, they were committed for
trial, with the exception of
,Herring, who was ad-
mitted to bail on account of his youth and iaexperience,

On Friday, the 11th ult., the guardians of the

CORONER'S INQUEST.

Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Higgs- held an inquest at
the Horse and Groom, Whitcombe-street, Suffolk-
street East, on the body of a newly-born female
child, of parentage unknown. An investigation has
been instituted by the police authorities of Queen-
square, which, it is feared, will implicate a woman
of good character, and the mother of six children,
with the present alleged murder.
Henry-Telfer, 8, Whitehead's-grove, Chelsea, said,
that on Wednesday evening he saw, in one of the
watering places in Duke's-Court, at the hack of the
National Gallery, a small deal box, which he lifted
.up, and tried to open. It was nailed, however, and
he;carried it away, and gave it to the first policeman
he met, who took it to the Gardiner's-lane station-
house, where it was opened in presence of witness.
The box contained the body of a female child, wrapped
up in a linen apron. There had been a mark or
number upon it, which had been picked out.
Thomas Cope, 156 A, said that Inspector Par-
tridge, who was on duty at the station-house, re-
quested the attendance of Dr. M'Cann, surgeon to
their division, who ordered the child to be sent to his
surgery. Witness carried it there, and a post mortern
examination was made before him. The surgeon said
the child had been born alive, and from the appear-
ance of the face and a mark around the neck, he
should say it had been strangled. - One of the apron-
strings was missing, and the supposition was, that
with it the murder had been done.

One of the Jurymen asked the Coroner whether
Inspector Partridge had any authority to send the
child's body for examination to Dr.' M'Cann ? and
being answered that the proper course would have
been to have sent the body to St. Martin's work-
house, there to be seen by the parish surgeons, a long
discussion ensued, and the manner in which In-
spector Partridge and Dr. M'Cann had acted being
commented upon pretty freely, the result was, that
an adjournment of the inquest was ordered till Mon-
dav, that the opinion of the parish surgeons might be
had in evidence before them.

LATE GEORGE BUTLER.
WILLIAM JACKSON, formerly with the late Mr.
John Marriner, and now Successor to the late Mr. George
Butler, 93, Cheapside, corner of King-street, London. Esta-
blished 1616.
GEORGE BUTLER'S FLUID EXTRACT OF SAR-
SAPARILLA, now prepared solely by WILLIAM JACK-
SON, is the Compound Decoction of Sarsaparilla of the Lon-
don Pharmacopoeia, concentrated to such a degree that a dessert
spoonful diluted with a quarter of a pint of water, is precisely
the same as the Compound Decoction ordered by the Royal
College of Physicians. Purchasers are earnestly solicited to
test by dilution the relative strength of this preparation with
others sold under a similar name; and he feels assured that the
superiority of the preparation made by him and his Predecessor,
its purity, and the great care bestowed in the process of e in•
poration, will always ensure the decided approbation and pre-
ference which it has received of the Mess ical Profession.
W. Jackson is unwilling to refer to the invidious observations
annexed (for obvious reasons) to an advertisement of a similar
preparation by " an individual in the same street," but he is
anxious to maintain the credit of the above justly-celebrated
preparation, and to state that his concern has always been
known as a Medical and Dispensing Establishment, and that
" Turlington's Balsam," " Stoughton's Elizir," and other
nostrums of a like character, have never been sold at his esta-
blishment, with his name attached thereto as the Proprietor of
them.

W. 'Jackson begs to repeat the caution that there exists no
connexion between this Establishment and any other of the
name of" Butler." Please therefore to observe that the labels
have upon them in full the address, 93, Cheapside, corner of
King-street, London. Established 1616.

LORD SALTOUN.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST.
SIR,---I beg to return you my best thanks for the
manner in which you have mentioned my old com-
rade, Lord Saltoun. As a soldier I abstain, of course,
from particularising any escapes that Lord: Saltoun
has had, for, in the army, " a miss is considered as
good as a mile," and is thought of no more; but it
may be as well to say, that, at Waterloo, he had three
horses short under him, one of his spurs shot off, his
forehead laid bare by a shot in the front of his cap, his
sword broken in two, and the cloak in front of his
saddle riddled with shot. At Peronne he was hit by
a spent iron ball which buried itself, with his purse,
in hiA groin ; but, notwithstanding the pain and suf-
fering which this must have caused he marched up to
Paris with the army : this wound was never men-
tioned.

As a civilian you may, perhaps, scarcely understand
Ihe strong feeling that exists between two old soldiers
who have served so much together as we have : this
feeling must be my excuse for having troubled you
upon tFe subject. —I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

of Ministers.

The Quotodienne, in noticing a conference which
M. Conte, the Director-General of the Post-office,
had on Monday with the Minister of Finance, men-
tions a report that the object of it was to discuss some
arrangements for a uniform postage in France, and
that a Bill for the purpose will be presented to the
Chrmbers in the approaching session.
The construction of the tomb of the Emperor Na-
poleon is about to be commenced, and for some days
a model of the work has been exposed to public view
at the Invalides. An equestrian statue of the Empe-
ror is to be placed in the middle of the great court,
and on the pedestal will be represented the arrival of
his ashes at the place where they now lie.
The ex-Commissary of Police Lem-island, con-
demned by default, at the Court of Assizes of the
Haute-Garonne, for corruption in his office, and who

The Propaganda Fides of Rome received last year
the sum of 113,000/. which was employed in follow-
ing the missionaries from the English Church, where-
ever they went, for the purpose of counteracting the
effect of their labours by instilling into the minds of
the heathen the errors of the Roman Catholic faith.

The usual annual mass was performed on Tuesday

fugees who were present afterwards dined together.
The police of Lyons has been put on a track of a
band of fifty thieves, robbers and depredators of all
kinds, who have lately been ransacking that city and
its environs. A liberated convict, having been be..
trayed by one of his accomplices, had denounced the
whole confedeacy. '
Accounts from Vienna state that Prince Metter-
nich was quite,reebvered, .and had resumed his usual
labours.

A letter from Rome Nov. 17, in the Augsburg
Gazette, says—" The King of Naples has endeavoured
to induce Don Miguel to relinquish all claims upon
the Crown of Portugal, on condition of his receiving
a pension from that country. All the efforts of the
King, however, on this point have been fruitless."
According to the latest account& the affairs of Servia
were still in an unsettled state, the clergy being hos-

INsoLvENcy.—On the Ist of November the amended
Bankruptcy Act was first put in operation at the
Bankruptcy Court, Basinghall-street. Yesterday the
returns of insolvents who petitioned for protection
under the provisions of this Act were sent in, when
57 names appeared in the short space of thirty days.
This, it must be borne in mind, is quite independent
of tho numerous petitions which are disposed of in
Portugal street, where the Learned Commissioner is
occupied from ten o'clock in the morning until late in
the evening, almost every day in the week, in hear-.
ing cases, when the aggregate amount of debts is not
sufficient to entitle the petitioner to the benefit of the
new arrangements under Lord Brougham's Act.
