From the Maine, March 31.

The journal Hesperus says, that a clue has been discovered to
the family of Caspar Hauser (the orphan of Nuremberg.) His
mother is said to be a Hungarian Countess, St. M—, at Pesth,
who as widow enjoys the very considerable property which, if there
were a child, would belong to him. The first discovery is said to
hare been made by an ecclesiastic, who, being at an inn, heard per-
sons in the adjoining room speak of the affair. A waiting-maid,
now in the service of Count P. is stated to have implored him, on
the reports of an impending investigation, to afford her his protec-
tion, because this affair might bring her to the scaffold ;" that he
promised it to her, but that, notwithstanding, she had lost her senses
through fear.
On the other hand a Munich Journal, the Razor, contains, in a
pnvate letter front Vienna, the following passages on the subject:—
'• Already six months ago I had the only possible and true political
ennjectuTe respecting the birth of Caspar Hauser, and it is now
folly con...natl. A few days ago a governess in the house
of Prince in Hungary, who at a former period was
long in company of the great French General, was recently
:nested by legal authority ; accused of being cognizant of
the birth of Caspar Hauser, and also of the attempt to
assassinate him, perhaps even a 4 a relation, she pretended
to be out of her mind. A physician discovered her trick by another
stratagem." The writer of the letter here enters into farther details,
which, however, must not yet be made public. "It appears that
in respect to Caspar Hauser there has been no want of liberality
in the purchase of daggers. The disclosure of the truth must there-
fore be attended with danger to my own life if brought to light—a
fact that might perhaps, be felt like an electric shock throughout
Europe."

BRITISH COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.

Yesterday evening, a meeting was held at the Rooms
in Leicester.place, known as the Sans Sand of the late Charles
Dihdin, for the purpose of adopting certain regulations, &c. by
which the British College of Surgeons, established at the same place
a short time since, shall be governed. Mr. Facial., of Kew-green,
in the Chair.

The CHAIRMAN stated that the meeting was called to confirm
certain alterations made in the rules by which the College should be
governed. The object contemplated in the establishing of the new
College was to advance medical science It was quite impossible
that any monopoly could, in the present liberal age, exist in the
medical, or any other profession, much longer. The College of Sur-
geons, which adhered to the laws made 200 years ago, did not an-
swer the purposes intended; and it was fully expected that, by the
establishment of the British College of Surgeons, the interests of
the public, as well as of the profession, would be consulted. The
Committee had placed in his hands a series of resolutions, which he
would put serialins to the meeting.
A GENTLEMAN hete asked s hether the College had been really
established ? He was suprised to sec so thin a meeting ; and he
thought the medical profession were not yet ripe for the revolution
contemplated by the regulations. He thought the proceedings pre-
mature.

Mr. SLEE answered that the question as to whether the College
should be established was carried at the last meeting.
Mr. JENKINS observed that, from all parts of the United King-
dom, letters had been received from the profession with assurances
of support and subscriptions. It was therefore proper that they
should proceed to put the Society in operation.
The CHAIRMAN read the first resolution, which stated that " the
British College of Surgeons is established to promote the best in.
terestsof mankind, the honour and dignity of the surgical profession,
and the advancement of science."

A AlEmma thought it advisable that a resolution should be
passed, declaring that, in consequence of the inefficiency of the pre-
sent College of Surgeons, it was necessary to establish the British
College to supply the deficiency.
This amendment was over-ruled, the resolutions were adopted,
and, after come other business had been disposed of, the meeting
adjourned, after having passed a vote of thanks to the Chairman.

CROWDER, hiAVORI

A 10311110 N COUNCIL, holden in the CHABIBERfof the
GUILDHALL of the CITY of LONDON, on THURSDAY,
the 17th June, 1830 ;
RESOLVED,
THAT this Court, deeply sensible of the importance
and solemnity of an Oath, and of the injurious tendency of
..Iministering oaths, unnecessarily or on comparatively trivial oc.
:dons, (which only weakens their security,) is anxious to draw the
•t,lttion of Parliament to the subject of Oaths generally, but espe-
ially to the o•ths and Declarations the Members of this Court are
required to take by various acts of Parliament.
That this Court is of opinion, that the Clause in the Oath of
Abjuration against the Pretender, and his Successors, is useless
.md unnecessary, that Family, by lapse of time, being extinct or
unknown.

That this Coutt agree in opinion with the law Archdeacon Paley,
•ehn considered that the " levity and frequency with which an oath
is sdministed, to have brought about a general inadvertency to the
,Aligation of Oaths, which, both in a religious and political view, is
nu& to be lamented, and it merits public consideration whether the
tegciring of oaths on so many frivolous occasions, especially in the
Customs and in the qualifications of the Petty Officers, has any
c•thct effect than to make them cheap in the eyes of the People."
That this Court is further of opinion, that (laths should only be
iiministered on important and solemn occasions ; and that the fre.
pient and often trivial use of (laths in the Customs, Excise, and
cater departments of Government, has an injurious and demoraliz.
.ng tendency.
iThat Petitions be presented to both Houses of Parliament, pray.
ing to be relieved from the Clause in the Oath of Abjuration
,sgainst the Pretender and his Successors, and against the too coin.
mou use of Oaths generally. WOODTHORPE.

BERKELEY PEERAGE.

Their Lordships sat on Wednesday morning in a Committee of
Privileges on the above-named Peerage, the Earl of Shaftesbury, as
usual, being the Chairman. In addition to the Lord Chancellor
were the Duke of Richmond, the Earl of Hardwicke, the Earl of
Ifarrowby, the Duke of Beaufort, Lord C,althorpe, Viscount Strang-
ford, the Marquis of Clanricarde, Lord Sheffield, the Earl of Rad-
nor, the Marquis of Cleveland, and the Earl of Rosshn, with four
or five other Peers.
The simple proposition upon which Colonel Berkeley grounds
his claim is the possession of the freehold and castle of Berke-
ley, the possessors of which hail, in early times, by virtue of their
tenure, been summoned to attend the King in his Council and Par-
liament.

When the cave was last before the Committee, the Enrl of ELDON
submitted several hypothetical propositions, which might result if
the claim were held valid.

------
The noble and learned Lord said it was obvious that the claim
rested on tenure, but of what kind or nature ? Was it tenure in
fee ? and, if so, did the claim depend on the equitable or legal
estate ? S:uppose a person vete tenant in fee of the castle and ba-
rony of Berkeley, would he be thereby constituted a Peer ? Sup-
pose the tenant, having the legal estate, should mortgage It, and the
mortgagee was in possession, would the mortgagee, as having the

ORANGE V. IRENT.

Mr. Sergeant WILDE resumed his argument this morning in sup-
port of a rule for a new trial in this case, the facts of which must be
fresh in the recollection of our commercial readers—on the ground
that tlw e edict which had been obtained for the plaintiff was con.
trary toe eidence. The whole question arose out of the wording of
a chatter-party, and the learned counsel maintained that the con-
struction put upon the word " impediment," by Sergeant Taddy,
was not correct, he having stated it to the jury as implying accident.
The argument this morning all went to prove that the provisions
of the charter-party in question had been chiefly complied with.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, that although he was corn.
pelted to confess that he should have been perfectly satisfied had the'
Jury brought in a verdict for the defendant, yet he did not see that
their not having done so was sufficient to warrant the Court in grant-
ing a new trial. The question for the consideration of the Jury had
bee:;, whether or not the vessel had been delayed by " stress of
weather or any other unavoidable impediment," and he knew no fitter
tribunal for such a question to be tried before than a Jury of Lon-
don merchants, and therefore, although he Wright himself have felt
inclined to have drawn a different conclu.ion from the evidence ad-
dewed on the trial than they had done. he still thought that he was
not called upon to say that he was so dissatisfied with their verdict
as to induce him to give his concurrence to the granting of a
new trial. _

The other Judges were of the opinion expressed by the Lord
Chief Justice, and the rule was accordingly refused,

messes of passion " take the reason prisoner," it is an evil
mote to be lamented than wondered at, if, in the vortex of decep-
tive pleisuse, the unhappy traitor again.t the laws of nature pays
In lowly disappointment a fearful exaction for his rebellion, in the
corovromise of his mental as well u bodily powers. To all per-
tons so circumsonced as to require the professional aid of men of
experience, whose time has been for twenty years studiously and
suce,sitilly devoted to the complaints arising front nervous de-
y,whether natural or acquired, GOSS and Co. proffer the most
consolatory assurances. The youth who has enervated his frame by
the strangely fascinating sin, which the poor victim of folly will
kw readily comprehend without further description, may find re-
lief irons his misery, and be kindly taught to regain his lost place
in the scale of creition. The sufferer who, from another extreme
of indulgence has, with unbashful forehead, wooed debility, may
learn to renovate ti3tlite and repair his abused constitution. The
man of pleasure exposed to and suffering from Luca Venerea,
boviLver aggravated by malpractice of the quack, or the conceal-
ment from diffidence, may find a certain restoration; and finally
in C4`4.5 where the delay of a connubial pledge has almost extended
dii pp°, ntmenr to dispair, they offer to the married female those
hopes which she can reasonably appreciate.

symptoms in the Spring.
The success of the VEGETABLE SYRUP of DE VELNOS,

GIPSIES.

Conjecture bee been exhausted in assuming a plausible
origin for this esleacedinary race, and the greatest number of opi-
nuns seem to be in favour of eh:Gipsies having been driven from
India by Tinny Beg,
ofwhen that successful warrior overran liln.

words resembling each other in Hindostannee and Gipsy languages.
and coincidences traced, or perhaps fancied, between the habits and
manners of the people. These proofs, however, are far from sa-
tisfactory ; and,- if the Gipsies really did come from India, it
seems certain they were only pariahs or outcasts. Gulhaan,
a learned German. who has very laboriously investigated the
subject, thinks the Gipsies were those wandering tribes
which are described by the early writers on India as strangers
and shepherds in that country, whose origin was unknown.
and who strayed from place to place, carrying their flocks and
herds with them, and pitching their tents here% er they felt in-
clined, without having is
any settled habitation ; while others have
adopted the same opinion, and, carrying it so much further as
to suppose these wanderers to be the lost tribe of Israel, they
have endeavoured to find points of resemblance between the Gip-
sies and the Jews, totally overlooking, [warm. ere essential
point of difference, via. that the Jews eat no animals but those
which have been killed in such a manner as to have their flesh
thoroughly drained from the blood—their law expressly Rebidding
them to eat it—whilst the Gipsies prefer eating the flesh of cattle
which have died a natural death, because, as they say, the blood is
in them. The supporters of this hypothesis say that the Israelites
were sojourning in Egypt after their expulsinn from their native
land, and thence came to Europe. Whatever the Gipsies may have
been, however, or wher.cesoever they may have come to Europe,
there is no doubt but that all the tribes now existing sprung Item a
conarrosi origin, since they all nearly correspond in habits arid lan-
guage, and never working but when compelled by necessity ; art,
all deal in fortune-telling and other occult sciences. This last quali.
fieation accords well with the suppositious of Clapperton, Denham,
&c. that they come from the ancient Isybia. or the regions berdetirg
on the modern Tripoli, since the north of Africa was celebrated in
' the middle ages as the chosen abode of the studies of unlawful arts;
and the famous seminary (if so it may be called) of Dom Daniel
being supposed near Tunis, the words African and sorcerer seem to
have been long considered almost synonymous by most of the era.

THE ENGLISH ARISTOCRACY.

The foundation of great families may, perhaps, be deemed an
inquiry more curious than instructive. Halm says, that almost
all the richest of the English aristocracy derived their vast parses.
eons front the spoils of the reformation. 'Phis is not precisely the
ease ; hut it is partly true. It is well known to have been the ease
with the houses of Cavendish and Russell. The latter, Burke, in
his most indignant letter, provoked by a most ill-timed and cruel
sarcasm., had made known to all the world,
_in terms of burning and
inimitable eloquence. The widow of Sir William Cavendish, Eli-
aibeth Hardwick, who afterwards married George Talbot, Earl of
Stitt ivsbury, amassed the greater part of the Cavendish wealth. She
set up three sons—Henry Cavendish, William, created Earl of De-
vonshire, and Sir Charles Cavendish, the father of William, Duke
of ewcastle —all with immense estates. It was not that these
estates were always gifts from the crown; but they were cheap
ouich.3.es. the circulating capital beirig, probably, in no degree
equal to the vest territories which were brought to market. But
tin Devonshire rental received an enormous accession by the Bur-
lington property, made in Ireland in the reign of James I. by the
great Earl of Cork ; and by the remnants of the Clifford property
in Yorkshire. The foundation of the Fitawilliam estates was, per-
haps, by advantageous purchases of abbey lands, in the time of
Henry VIII. but a great increase was made by acquisitions in Ire..
land in the reign of Queen Elisabeth; and lastly, b 7 the Went.
worth property, through the present earl's mother. The Lonadale
wealth has mainly sprung, we presume, from the coal mines on the
ancient estates of that ancient family. Buecleuch has been an ac-
cumulation from heiresses, including here in England almost the
whole possesaions of the Dukes of Montague.—The Gower estates
have also mainly come by marriage, beginning with the Levesons ;
but the grand augmentation was the canal property of the late Duke
of Bridgewater ; to which are now to be added the Sutherland es.
tates of the present Marchioness—a principality in themselves.
The Grosvenor riches come mainly from an heiress, who brought
in marriage the London building-land about two generations back.
The Spencer estates are the accumulations of old Sarah, Duchess of
Marlborough, added to the paternal Sunderlandproperty. The Nor-
thumberland estates are mainly the old feudal property of the
Pam. The Rutland estates are chiefly the baronial territory of
the ancient house of De Roos; the Portland are derived from that
branch of the Cavendishes who were Dukes of Newcastle ; and those
of the existing ducal family of Newcastle come from the Holleses.
The Hertford were chiefly acquired by old Secretary Conway, whose
character makes a figure in the early part of Clarendon's history.
it would hence appear that Mr. Hallam's assertion ought to be much
qualified. The Marquis of Winchester, however, and Lord Pem-
broke, were great sharers of Abbey lands, as is noticed by Naunton.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION.HOUSE.

RICCITATION Boots.—lo the course of the week several letter
were addressed to the Lord Mayor, from the members of sundry re
ligious congregations, complaining that, contrary to good order and Ow
ation of the public peace, • house in Grub-street, which had
ery
formerly bean devoted to pious purposes, was converted into a so
of theatre, in which young persons assembled and gave recitations
from the drama, and sung songs, without &licence. His Lordship'
correspondents drew alarming pictures of the consequence of pry.
mining large meetings of so exciting a description, and hoped that.
for the sake of the youth of the City of London, as well a.s for th,
security of property which might be liable to invasion from th,
system of detnoralization thus encouraged, his Lordship would ortl.l
his officers to interfere.

The LORD Miro,' said be regretted that some controul eouy
not be exercised over houses in which entertainments of the sore
were given.
Mr. Hobla observed, that if places of the kind could be towhee
by a penal enactment, the informers would long ago have appeared,
furnished with the usual apparatus for giving a check to the viciou•
propensities of mankind (laughter).
GUI L DHA 1.14.

The celebrated Miss Zouch appeared before Alderman Awmtv,
to prefer a charge against a person named James, for detaining her
wardrobe. Alia Zouch stated that she hid lodged in the defend.
ant's house, but he had brought so exhorbitant a charge against he.
that it was utterly out of her power to liquidate the demand. A
long bill was here produced by James, amounting to 501. 301. 0:
which was charged for attendance upon her and for messages.
Alderman ANSLEY asked him why he detained the property ?
James—Because Miss Zouch promised to pay me when she go..
married. (A laugh.)
Mill Zouch—l promised to pay you on my marriage, but not what
you have charged. How much have you put down for lodging''
—James : Only 21. per week.—Miss Zouch : fie, Jame', t
charge me so much when lam so poor! I'll pay what is just ant'.
legal, but no more. She said that her disappointments had ph.
vented her paying the money, when the defendant detained the
whole of her wardrobe, and left her entirely without. She was
willing to raise the money on the articles and pay him.
Alderman ANSLEY—Do you deny the debt ?—Miss Zouch : I
I do ; I dechwe he a let me have the lodgings on terms of
hospitality. The Al said he could not compel the defendant
to give up the property, but said she might bring her action.

BOW-STREET.

Swifuntgo.—George Pries, a man of genteel appearance, was
charged by Mr. Wayland, woollen.draper, of 15.1, Strand, with ob.
tattling cloth, his property, value about 121. under false pretences.
Mr. Wayland said that the prisoner called at his shop, and stated
that he came from a Mr. Smith, of St. Andrew's.hill, Doctors'
Commons, a tailor, who was a customer of his (Mr. Wayland's), to
procure for Mr. Smith a quantity of Saxony cloth. Having selected
the article, it was entered to Mr. Smith's account, and the prisoner
took it with him. He called again a few days afterwards and made
a similar representation, and took a quantity of Saxon crimson cloth
with him ; and on a third visit he obtained more of the same kind
of cloth. Subsequently the fraud was discovered, and the prisoner
was taken into custody.
Mr. Smith said that he knew the prisoner, who, five weeks ago.
introduced him to Mr. Wayland as a customer. He (Mr. Smith)
never authorised the prisoner to obtain the property from Mr. Way-
land, nor had he ever received the same—The prisoner was re-
manded.

QU EN-SQUA RE.
SINOULAZ DETECTION OF A THIEF HY • PIGEON.—
Saturday, John Tierney, a notorious thief, was placed at the bar.
charged with stealing six fancy pigeons. The prisoner was stopped,
a few days ago, by Reardon, with six pigeons, which he said he
bought for !ts. The serjeant brought him to the office, where, af.
ter several examinations, he was discharged, and the pigeons given
up to him.—Cooper, an officer, aware that no one in the lane)
would sell pigeons at so low a rate, purchased them off the prisoner
for six shillings, determined to find out the owner. He selected a
a fine bald-head pigeon, and fastened the following note to his
foot :—" Sir, if you will bring this note to my house, 10, Roches.
ter-row, Westminster, you will find I have sof the bearer's mess.
mates in durance vile, who have, I believe, been taken prisoners
unlawfully."—The pigeon was thrown up at Vauxhall bridge, and
flew towards Wandsworth, to his home, and in consequence the pii.
goner was a second time taken. A Alr. &say, who resides in the
Wandsworth-road. stated that his pigeon.house had been broks:.
open and robbed of his pigeons on the night the prisoner was step.
pM. He saw the pigeon to his great surprise come home, and go
into his old quarters, and at night took him from his roost, and put
him in a small wicker basket. Next mooning lie was astonished to
find a note in the basket attached to the bird, desiring bin, to call
at Rochester-row. The prisoner repeated his old defence.— 31r.
Marriott lined the prisoner under an old Act lot. foe haring the
pigeons in his possession ; in default of eayment he was committed
for four months to the house of correction. Mr. Beasy said he
did not intend to keep any more pigeons, and desired Cooper to
keep them for his sagacity.

LETTER FROM WINDSOR.

Friday, April 23.

We have great pleasure in being able to announce, that his 31a-
J ESTI' has passed another quiet night, and is considered better to.
day. There does not appear to be any apprehension of a serious
nature in the minds of the inhabitant., and the preparations for illu.
minations and other demonstrations of rejoicing are as usual. Ms
Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE arrived on a visit to his
M A.l mitt v, and left at two o'clock. Sir AVATIIEN WALLER, who
has been for several days at the Castle, also took his departure thi.
morning. Sir H. Ilat.roan left this morning at eight o'clock, st:l
is expected to return this evening.

THE PORTUGUESE REGENCY.
TO THE EDIT(SIIST7THE STAR.

I ,—As some of your contemporaries have asserted that
the Regency of Portugal, after its installation at Terceira,
intended to grant Letters of Marque, and allow privateers to
cruize against the commerce of Portugal,—l am enabled
most positively to deny the fact, from the best authority ;
and I can assure your readers that such public writers have
been misinformed. The Regency, so far from employing
any means for asserting the rights, and maintaining the
dignity of the Queen, that could be considered opposed to
the principles adopted by every orderly government, and
which, without ameliorating its cause, would only occasion
vexation and annoyance to the general commerce of the
maritime powers, has adopted the just determination of
protecting all regular trade. Its intentions are, to em-
ploy legitimate and proper means to put down the
usurpation which now oppresses ill-fated Portugal, but
in no way to increase the difficulties under which Por-
tuguese subjects are already labouring ; tke Regency
being well aware that, of those who have apparently sub-
mitted to the yoke of tyranny and treason, many have
been reduced to their present miserable state by the com-
pulsory measures employed, whilst many others have, to
this day, been blinded by delusion.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
