. PIRACY.
PROM TILE RICHMOND &QUIRE&
The atrocities which have been practised on the
co.t-ts of Cuba, by pirates, on our commerce, ought

, .
r.:): only to be resisted by our cruisers, but by the
rno-t urgeft remonstrances to the Government of
The Executive of the United 'States have

r: laitcstcd no inconsiderable energy in sending out a
teal force An the Vest Indian seas. .Much has al-

_ . .
loady been done by our vessels. Many a pirate his
teen taken; and many a prize saved from his fangs.
it romains-for us to treat the bucanier who falls into

our power with the severity which is necessary to
snike an awe into his companions.
But the evil goes on. Cut off one head of this
another grows up in its place. The rich
tn,oty presented by the extensive commerce of the
West Indies tempts the idle and profligate seaman
to embark in the. enterprize. The immunities held
out, princip.illy in-the island of Cuba; the facilities
of fitting -out the pirate, and disposing of his booty,
encourage this nefarious speculation. The scenes
are horrible to relate. Passengers are :clipped of
their all; females are insulted, and violated; the
crews and captains are hung up and tortured to ex-
tort confessions oftoncealed money.
Our naval force hai done its duty. What, though
the Spanish navy has slept upon its oars, and seen in
the very sight of their harbours such atrocities perpe-
trated upon their friends, or even upon themselves !
What, though the 1000 ships cf Britain have remained
inactive, while their merchant-ships have fallen vic-
tims, or been only sawed from rapacity by the exer-
tions of our seamen ! The disgrace is their's, the
glory is our's. Oat little navy has done its duty—
they have done all that they could do—unless our
large ships were commissioned with corps of marines
to land and cut up-the nests of blicaniers on shore.—
But whatever doubts may attend this expedient, both
as to its policy and expense, there is one measure'
which the Government is bound to pursue. Where
are the nests of these pirates principally found ? Let
the following extract of a letter from on board the
United States' schooner Grampus, at Havannah, in-

form Os.:
" The principal establishment of the pirates is near Principe,
the capital of the island, and it hardly seems possible for the
"United States, without t hr aid of Government (honestly afforded),
to put These marauders down.. Most of these expeditions are
fitted oat, in the first instance, at a village called Regales, oat,
quarter of mile horn this city, and under the eye of the Go-
. -vernnictit. More than one hundred persons belonging to this
place are known to be concerned in this infamous and abominable
business: however, but little can be expected from the present
rulers here, while they keep the men of war in port, and suffet
the little patriot cruizers to capture their merchant-eessels almost
-under the guns of the Moro, and on all parts of the coast. The
British cruizers seem to be as careless of protecting their defence-
less merchantmen from the pit ates, as they are anxious to run
from port to port, carrying specie."
And are we to suffer in patience this lion ible weak-
ness, neglect, connivance (state it as you will), from
Spain? Cuba (where the Villa del Principe is) belongs
to Spain. She is liable for the use that she makes,
or suffers to be made, of her jurisdiction. If she
wants the will to drivt the pirates away, she is liable;
if she wants the power, she is equally so. She is as
much so, as if we were to suffer belligerent vessels
to equip and arm in our ports, for the express pur-
pose of going out to plunder our friends. This is the
law of nations ; it is the language of ccmmon sense.
We have a right, therefore, to redress from Spain, as
witch as we had a right to indemnity for the French
spoliations committed under her cloak or connivance.
We demanded indemnity for this wrong—we obtained
it. We must make a similar demand for the piracies
which she is either too weak or unwilling to prevent.
If she refuses it—if she will not put forth her strength
to prevent their repetition—we should even be justi-
fied in taking temporary possession of the obnoxious
places. We must speak a plain language to her—
and no tine might to be lost (if any has been actu-
ally lost) in making our demand.
Have our unfortunate merchants laid the details of
their complaints before our own Government?
Ilave the Insurance Offices stated their losses?
}lave our Chambers of Commerce come forward
—as they did in 1801, in the very ca-e of Spain, and
in many instances which are to be found in our
*. State Papers ?"
The slave trade and piracy arc an opprobrium to the
age in which we live. All civilized maritime States
ought to combine together for their suppression.—
lt others forget their duty, let us, at least, be true
to ourselves.

At the late Winchester Assizes, after passing sen-
fence of death on various prisoners, and various de-
trees of punishment on others, the Judges retired
horn the Court, preceded, as is usual at Assize towns,
by their trumpeters, who pidyed to them the truly
appropriate airs of " Away with melancholy," and
ilagune dtU caa."

THE ARMY.

It is now understood, that Lieutenant-General Lord Comm-
MIRK, G.C.B. is appointed to succeed the late Sir &saint. &rot-
atory, as Commander of the Forces in Ireland.
The Ist division of the 43d Light Infantry etibarked on
board the Succeu transport, at Cork, on the 31st ultimo, for
Gibraltar.

Two parties of the Buffs, consisting of 30 men each, with a
proportion of Officers and Non-commissioned Officers, will em-
bark at Deptford, about the 11th inst. on board the Princess
Royal and Surrey convict ships, as guards over the convict'
destined for New South Wales.

The Ist Regiment of Royal Devon Cavalry, commanded by
Lord ROLLE, completed their training for Ibis year on Saturday
last, much to the satisfaction of their Officers, both for the soldier-
like conduct they exhibited, and their 'general good•behaviour.
The. ship Phylera arrived on the 4th inst. at the Mother Bank,
front Gibraltar, having on board 59 Invalids from the 26th, 27th,
64th, and 75th Regiments. They are ordered to be landed at
Chatham.

The ship Regalia lately sailed from London for
Van Dieman's Land, having on board sixty or seventy
passengers going out to settle in that colony. When
ready to sail she first dropped down to Gravesend,
leaving behind at the Custom-House some packages
belonging to Dr. Ross, of Sudbury, and his family,
who were passengers, for inspection by the proper
officer'. It happened, upon examining the packages,
that, among other articles for domestic use, worsted
to the weight of six pounds- four ounces, the pro-
perty of eleven individuals, seven of whom were
adults, was discovered by the Customs' officer.—
For the first time the owners of the vessel and the
owners of the worsted were made acquainted, that
under an old musty law of EDWARD the Third, for.
the encouragement, protection, &c. of our woollen
manufacture, this worsted was contraband, and, with
everything else in the packages containing it, to the
value of £5O or £6O, forfeited to the Crown. The ef-
fect of this intelligence upon the minds of persons in
all the agitation of parting with their country and
friends—perhaps for ever—may well be imagined. The
owners of the Regalia, however, determined on pre-
senting a Memorial, with a statement of the case and its
hardships, to the Board of Customs, and the result
was the confiscation of the 61b. 4os. of worsted, but
the restoration of the other contents of the packages'
to Dr. Ross and his family. But in the meantime the
vessel and the rest oldie passengers were delayed for
four or five days in disappointment and suspense ;
and all the parties concerned suffered inconvenience,
waste of time, trouble, and anxiety, in order to ob-
lain a decision on the seizure, and this on account of
a law which is a disgrace to a civilized country, while
hundreds of others of a similar character still remain
on our Statute-books.
A Gentleman complaining in company that his
former servant never touched the windows, and that

his present one was always cleaning and breaking
them, was answered by a wag, " that clean windows
always cost fresh panes."
Dr. LENIGAR, a titular Irish Archbishop, a man
of very lively parts, happened, in a mixed company,,
to be introduced to a Mr. SWAN, a Gentleman of a
cynical turn, whose practice it was to attempt to
raise a laugh at the expense of some one in company.
They sat near each other at table, where the Doctor
engaged general attention by his sprightly manner.
Mr. SWAN, to silence him, said, " Dr. —, I forget
your name."—" LENIGAR, Sir," returned the Doctor.
" I ask your pardon," replied Swan, " I have the
misfot tune scarce ever to recollect names ; you'll not
he offended, therefore, if in the course of conversa-,
tion I call you Dr. Fine,,aar?" "Oh ! not at all, Sir,"
returned the Doctor, "I have the very same defect;
and it is very probable, though I now name you
Swan, I may by and bye call you Goose!"
The entrance of Magdalen College, Oxford, used to
be ornamented with boughs and other greens on St.
John the Baptist's day, when a sermon was preached
to the Society from the stone pulpit, which still re-
mains: and it is well remembered, that when Dr.
Bacon was to preach, he told his friends that he could
not promise them much entertainment from his dis..
course ; but they would be sure of Bacon and greens!'
Sunday morning last, Mr. BROCKLESBY, of the
bail of Lincoln, gamekeeper to the Dean and Chap-
ter, lost a brace of valuable pointers in a singular
manner. About eight o'clock they were locked up in
a stable at the White Hart, coupled, to be in readiness
for the sport of the following morning : on the ostler
going ;n soon after, he found them dead—the dog
having jumped over the stall, and the bitch being left
suspended on the other sids, by which they were both
hanged. They were a present from Sir R. Surrox,
Bart. who happened to arrive at the ion a few hours
after the accident occurred.
LONGEVITY-A few days since, three men, whose
ages united make 262 years, were drinking together
at the Crown Inn, Cranbrook, Kent
,; they are all in-
habitants, and their respective names and ages are
Moons, 93 ; HUNT, 89 ; and limas, 80.
A damask. weaver, in the neighbourhood of Carlisle,
is now manufacturing some tray napkins for a Noble-
man's family in Westmorland, which have the fol-
lowing inscription woven in them :—" Spun by Mary
Noble, in the 106th year of her age:'
DUBLIN, SEPT. 4.—The persons arrested for High
Treason, in Dublin, were discharged yesterday, on the motion
of Mr. WaLLacir, King's Counsel, and Mr. HAMILTON.—Mr.
SEALY TOWN SEND' who appeared for the Crown, required bail
tor Carr, himself in £lOO, and two sureties in £5O each.—
Bail was also required from the other prisoners, who were
stated to be of the very lowest class (one being a coal-porter,!,
and another a discharged watchman), themselves in £5O, and
two sureties of £sts each. These unfortunate people had been',
in confinement, we believe, during a space of two months.-1
A man of the name of Patrick Conolly was killed last week
at the Fair of Saggard, by a party of Police men, who entered
the fair, and cut and wounded the people promiscuously. One
Ilundrell Pounds Reward has been offered by Government for
the apprehension of the person who struck the fatal blow.
EXECUTION.—BANGOR,SEPT. 4.—Yesterday Lewin
Owen (who was capitally convicted at our late As-
sizes, and left for execution, for attempting. to mur-
der and lob Mr. STURDY, Supervisor of Excise), paid
the forfeit of his life at Mirfa Scont, a short distance
from our prison. A circumstance of this melancholy
description not having occurred here for many years,
caused an immense number of persons, from various
parts of the country, to repair hither to be present
on the awful oicasion ; their number is believed to
have been upwards of 12,000, and many of them
wept during the whole of the awful ceremony.—
Owen addressed them in the Welsh language, and
begged them to take warning by his untimely end,
which he attributed solely to drunkenness, the pro-
fanation of the Loon's Day, and abandoned women.

POLICE.

111.unnon-Housit—Yesterday, ilitilliin, a watchmln was brou gh t
before the LORD Maros, charred with having beaten
°his wife
most unmercifully, sometimes with a cudgel, and sometimes with
his ft .s. The whnesses who came forward to.swear to the facts,
mentioned that the dreadful treatment the unfortunate woman I
received from.ber husband had made her subject to occasional
fits of insanity. Her case was peculiarly hard, but it appeared
from one act which she had conmitted—that of marrying the
defendant—that her Intellects had been in a state of disorder bow
fore she had any reason to complain of his unkindness.
Upon entering the Justice-room, she bad one of her children
in her arms, another was carried by one of the kind women sell'
reside in her neighhourkipd, and it seemed to be much in milt
of that assistance whiCT the mother's situation prevented ktitri
from giving. She looked wildly about, and sobbed: From tee,
account it appeared that the defendant, to whom she bas been
some years married, was in the constant habit of striking and
kicking her ; that he had the night before beaten hi!, with a large
stick ; that she had often been kicked by him into a state of in-
sensibility, out of which she was recovered by the attention of
those who pitied her. She believed his intention was to take
away her life, for he began his cruelty without the least provo-
cation, and left marks upon all parts of her body, which would
not easily disappear. The poor woman then stooped her head,
and exhibited some desperate weals on her shoulders.
The defendant said she was his plague, and not bis wife. He
had beets deceived. She was the wife of another man when she
married him, and of course had no claim upon him. He admitted
that he had struck her, but he excused himself upon the ground
1 that she forced her way into his presence and made -demands
which he had no right to listen to—demands for the support
of her children.

One of the officers here stated to the Loan- MAYOR' that the
miserable woman was the wife of a person connected with the
policewas when

of the woman, whose intellects were always subject to lapses,
and who was not aware of the offence she was committing when
she consented to become a bigamist.
The complainant • lid, that whatever objection the defendant
might have to her, he ought at least to support his children.—
She was willing to work like a slave, but he deprived her of the
power to work by his dreadful attacks upon her.
The Loan MAYOR said the case was a very lamentable one.
As for the defendant, be was a brute who did not deserve to have
the society of a woman ; and with respect to the poor woman,
no individual who had come before him during his mayoralty
was more deserving of compassinfi or protection. She had sub-
jected herself to punishment at the criminal bar by an act, of the
importance of which she did not seem to be conscious, and had
thrown upon her first husband the terrible obligation of giving a
livelihood to her children by another man.
The defendant declared that he would not supply a halfpenny
towards the support of the children.
The Lome Meroa ordered that. the fellow should be detained
in custody to give securities for keeping the peace towards the
complainant.
"The complainant's distress was Indescribable. She did not
know to whom to look for a shilling. Her first husband is ex-
tremely poor. Her second refuses to perform what he is morally
bound to do. She cannot look to the parish for support, the
officers being unable to render assistance, except they first deter-
mine to imprison a man for not contributing to the support of
children who have no natural claim upon km.
The poor creature received some temporary assistance from
the Loan Maros, who desired her at all events to apply to her
parish. Even a conviction for bigamy would be preferable to
the condition in which she was now placed, being destitute of
comfort or hope.
GUlLDHALU—Yesterday the driver of the cart Na. 99,422,
was summoned on the complaint of Mr. R. Martin, the Mem-
ber for Galway, for having obstructed the highway unlawfully.
Mr. Martin stated, that on the day before, as he was driving
from Cateaton-street towards Ironmonger-lane, he was stopped
by the defendant's cart, which was placed lengthways across the
street, so that no vehicle could pass. Mr. Martin requested tte
man to move aside and let him pass ; but the carman replied, in
an abusive tone, that he had let one man pass, and that he would
not move his cart again to let any one pass—" no, not for
nobody." Mr. Martin expostulated with him, but that only
brought forth abuse, and confirmed the prisoner in his course,
and he said he would not be bullied out of it by any Magistrate.
Mr. Martin took his number.
The prisoner's master attended in his behalf, and contended ,
that the offence was not made out according to the Act.
Alderman Cox explained that this proceeding wan not under
the new Street Act, but under an old City Act, and convicted
the defendant under it; but, in consequence of his good charac,l
ter, sentenced him to pay only the mitigated penalty of 10s.
Iforraphry Price, who was detected in endeavouring to pass
counterfeit silver, was remanded, and notice directed to be sent
to the Solicitor of the Mint.
A young man, the servant of Mr. Griffiths, the jeweller in
the Old Bailey, was charged by his master with having robbed
him. The prisoner was in the employment of Mr. Griffiths as a
porter, and in that capacity was frequently entrusted with goods
to a considerable amount. As Mr. Griffiths had missed a quan-
tity of his property, his suspicions were excited towards the pri-
soner, and, after having watched him for some time, he caused
him to be apprehended, when some articles, which Mr. Grif-
fiths swore to be his property, were found upon him, together
with duplicates of others. The prisoner was remanded, to give
his master an opportunity of tracing the property.
Two young men were committed to Bridewell, to hard la-
bour, for one week each, for indecently assaulting females in
Bartholomew Fair.
The driver of the Farnham coach was summoned to answer
for having neglected to deliver a parcel belonging
.to Mr. G.
Taylor in due time.
Mr. Taylor stated that a friend had made him a present of a
young pig, which was seat by the defendant's coach on Monday
morning, and bad it been delivered within a reasonable time
after the arrival of the coach, would have been in time for din-
ner. But the defendant did not deliver it until the nest morn-
ing, when it was found to have been spoiled by the delay.
The defendant pleaded that it was an oversight.
Alderman Cox said he should receive a lesson that would
make him more vigilant in future, and sentenced him to pay the
value of the pig and the costs, and to refund the sum he had
taken for the carriage and porterage. .
Bow-svervr.—Mr. Isaacs, a Solicitor, employed in behalf of
some persons brought here some time ago from a gaming-house
in Palimall, waited yesterday upon Mr. DdINSHULL, for the pur-
pose of making some inquiries connected with the case.
The worthy Magistrate, after answering the inquiry, said he
was glad of this opportunity of mentioning publicly something
which he thought it would be extremely important to all per-
sons in any way connected with gaming and gaming-houses to
know. The new Vagrant Act, among its other previsions, en-
acted, that " all persons found betting or playing at any unlaw-
ful game shall be deemed rogues and vagabonds, within the full
intent and meaning of this statute, and shall be liable, upon con-
viction thereof, to be committed for three months to the House
of Correction, there to be kept to hard labour ;" and if any per-
sons, be they who they might, were again brought before him,
who had been detected in gamingyhe should certainly deal with
them under this Act of Parliament.
Mr. Isaacs said the provisions of the Act applied, he believed,
only to those who played for hire or lucre; and it would be ne-
cessary to prove distinctly that they were actually playing, and
at an unlawful game.
Mr. eliesnett. said, it would bo a matter easy of proof, as to
whether the game was an unlawful one or otherwise, and he
should convict all who were caught playing as rogues and vaga-
bonds.—Here the conversation dropped.
A great number of the fruiterers in COvent-garden market
were fined ss. each, under the statute called the Lord's Day Act.
for following their occupations on the Sabbath.
Usens-Hem..—Yesterday, Messrs. Clarke and. Caine,
coel-
merchants, appeared to a summons on an information exhibited
against them under the Coal Trade Act, for neglecting to carry
in their cart a perfect bushel measure at the time of delivering
coals, contrary to the statute of the 47th of George 111.
Mr. Heenan attended on the part of the firip, and took an
objection to the writing of the information, the defendants basis
therein described as carriers of coals, but it did not aver that
they were the carriers of the specific coals now in question.
The information was then read. It averred that the defend-
ants, being carriers of coals with 25 miles of the Royal Exchange,
had not, on a certain day, placed in a conspicuous part of the cart
poeporting to belong to the defendants, and laden with coals to
t 4 delivered to a purchaser, a perfect bushel measure, as de-
scribed in the Att. The Magistrates, however, overruled Mrs
Hartner't objection.
The informer, Oxley, stated, that on Tuesday, the 3d instant,
he observed a cart delivering coals to i house on Swan-terrace,

-s.

Newington. Whilst the men were unloiding, witness took the
bushel measure from the front of the cart, and on examining it
found it deficient In measure; the bottom was raised above an
inch.—On hircross.examination,•he.admitted that he did nut
know at whose house the coals were delivered,'aor did he know
whether Mr. Collins resided there or not.; neither did be know
'Whether they were purchased, or whether they were a gift.
Mr. Hainaut then contended, that his ,clients must be ac-
quitted, as the informer had not proved his averments on the
face of the information, inasmuch as he had not proved that the
coals were in the course of being delivered to a purchaser at the
time the measure was seized. They might have-been sent as a
' present, or delivered at a residence of the defendants themselves.

Re-
giment of Foot Guards was brought up on an assault Warrant,
for cruelly besting Mr. John Stamford, a young Gentleman, re-
siding at Pimlico.
Last Tuesday night, the prosecutor was hi Lower Grosvenor-
place, when he heard the screams of a female, seemingly in great
distress. He approached the spot, and saw the soldier dragging
a young woman along, and dashing her against the iron rails.—
When Mr.-Stamford appeared he desisted. Mr: Stamford then
went to conduct her home to her father's house, but the soldier
followed them to the door. She ‘vas admitsed,„ and an elderly
man, who came. out of the house, pushed them of the steps, and
shut the door. The soldier then asked Mr. Stamford what he
wanted? and Instantly struck him, and knocked him down.
Some persons collected, and found him bleeding profusely, and
prevented the soldier from doing him further injury.
Miss Eliza Doby, the female in question; sald,'she was going
to her sister's, towards Hyde Park-corner, when she met the
soldier, who pulled her about, and commenced beating her on
the temples, and dragging her :long. She corroborated the rest
of Mr. Stamford's statement.
The young Lady's mother was examined. She could only
state that Mr. S. brought home her daughter. She had not seen
the assault committed.
The soldier said he met the young woman in Westminster,
and treated her with gin.
The Magistrate said, that this was a scandalous act, and most
disgraceful to a soldier of the Guards. It was aSt case for a
Jury, and it was his province to order him (the prisoner) to And
bail.—The prisoner said he could get no ball, and be was corn.

Pearson, the Yorkshire pedestrian, has undertaken, for a
heavy stake, to run 50 miles in eleven hours on Pontefract
Race Course. He was to- start yesterday, and was backed at
even to win. If accomplished; it will be a master-piece of
pedestrianism.
