nieJ that the cases cited by his Learned Friend (Mr.!
Scarlett) bore at all on the present question. Those
to which he refetied were cases wherein third per
sons were concerned, and were clearly cases of mere
fraud or breach of trust. But the present one was
characterized by a very different aspect. Here there
was no third person. The prisoner had received the
money and had converted it to his own purposes.
—The Learned Gentleman then quoted several
cases, which contradicted the principle of Mr. Scarlet,
that the property was vested in the person entrusted
at the moment of transfer to his hands. They went
to prove that the ultimate property of the owner
never ceased during the time it was out of his hands
in the possession of another. The prosecutor would
have had a right to seize his property wherever he
should find it, and to have taken it from the possession
of the prisoner himself at any time, 11 id he apprehen-
ded that his intentions were dishonest. He was pro-
dding to cite othtr cases to support this doctrine,
when the further hearing was ordered to be adjourned.

LATE MURDERS AT RATCLIFF HIGHWAY.—On Sa-
turday evening AMkm underwent another examina-
tion, at Bow-street, before Mr. GRAHAM, and was dis-
charged.—Pryor, the lame man, who was taken a
few days since by Clark before the Magistrates, at
Union Hall, on suspicion of being concerned in these
horrid -murders, has been sent from Union Hall, to
the above Office, and has been examined before Mr.
GRAHAM, when there not appearing any proof against
him, with respect to the murders, be was sent back to
Union Hall, to answer other charges.
A Welsh pig drover was taken ill a few days since
at a public-house in Wolverhampton, and expired in
a few hours : after his death 200 counterfeit shillings
was found upon his person.

Friday, the remains of the late Trumpet Major
LACEY, of the Ist regiment of Life Guards, who ex-
piled suddenly at Covent•Gardcn Theatre, during
i a rehearsal of the new Play, were interred in Mary-la-
Bonne Burying-ground, with military honours.
The Restrictions to the present Regency, and the
Restrictions to our cares and trouble, may both end
on the same day; the Legislature fixed the period of
the one, and the Minister the other, in appointing the
18th of this month for the drawing of the rich but
small Lottery of only 8,000 Tickets.
Ease and independence seem to be the plan of the
present small Lottery ; for a person purchasing only
two Tickets may gain ,C1.0,0Q0, and thus at once
place himself beyond the ft owns and cares of the
world. It would then be immaterial to him whether
the Minister raised new taxes, or added five per cent.
to the old, whether we had peace or war, for he would
be able to enjoy his friend and his bottle, and drink
success to Old England, not forgetting the 18th of
February, which is the day the whole Lottery will b•
drawn, and any purchaser may have his wishes reali zed.
Automatic-al Theatre, Cathernee-Aral, .Strand—This
Theatre is now opeen, with a series of Mechanism,
of that superior order which has so long since given
popnlarity to the names of Philipsdial and Maillardet,
whose ingenious powers are now united, and the pub.
lie is presented with perhaps the most astonishing
efforts of mechanism, that human ingenuity ever pro-
duced. The evening's amusement is divided into
three parts :—The first opens with gymnastic dances,
performed by interesting figures, one of which, a
, beautiful female figure, opens the scene, and performs
with such engaging elegance as is seldom equalled by
her living contemporaries ; her partner in the dance
is a Hub Automaton, whose performance is equally
superior to nature. Those are succeeded by a sweet
female figure, seated at a piano-forte, who plays
several melodious airs, with the greatest precision,
and at command; a superb mechanical bird, in natu.
ral plumage, which eats, drinks. and imitates in its
cries, actions, attitudes, &c. ;—an interesting little
artist, who writes and drat% s before the spectators,
with a correctness of execution that will bear the clo-
sest inspection ; a necromancer, who resolves ettig.
mas, and with apparent magical powers, answers a
variety of amusing questions ; a bird of paradise
which warbles a variety of imitations; a wonderful
figure, which dances and plays on his instruments at
command ; and a new instrument, called piana dulci,
the melody of which is uncommonly tweet ; we un-
derstand it has also the great desideratum of never
being out of tune. The next part consists of a very
sweet illusion, oil the principle, we suppose, of Mr.
Phillipsthal's former productions (the Phantasmago-
ria) ; the present consists of a series of landscapes (in
imitation of moon-light), VI hich insensibly changes to
various scenes, producing a very magical effect. The
entertainment closes with other superior mechanism,
rendering the whole a rich and interesting display of
human ingenuity. The Theatre has undergone a
complete repair, and is rendered fit, in every respect,
for the occasion.

The "value of Dr. FREEMAN'S GUTTA SALIJTARTS
has been so long proved, that nothing of the present
day can bear a competition with it, in all the diffe-
rent stages of a certain disease, which it effectually
cures and eradkates from the habit, without exciting
the painful feelings and exposure that attends saliva-
tion—without debilitating the constitution in any de-
gree, or even requiring confinement from business or
restriction of diet. The radital virtues of these ines-
timable Drops have proved their claim to pub' e ap-
probation for more than SO years. In all the debility
of both sexes they prove a never-failing restorative—
whether the debility is produced by too free use of
mercury, by illicit pleasures, or the effects of a warm
climate. To travellers and those going abroad, they
cannot be recommended too strongly, as they will re-
ceive a safe, speedy, and complete cure, in all old
stubborn gleets, and every weakness that affects the
bladder and organs of urine. By its efficacy Palmy
women have become mothers, who for many years
had been deprived of that happiness.—Sold wholesale
