NEW COURT.

H. Cartwright, a soldier, was indicted for robbing
Peter Stamp, a sailor, of four 51. notes. The prosecu-
tor had been a sailor, on board the Bustard brig,
which was paid off at Chatham, on the 9th ofittirie.
On that day he came up to Tower-hill, and went
into a public-house and drank with several strangers,
among whom was the prisoner. They t liked .4 of bat-
tles lost and won," until the sailor laid himself down
and fell asleep. When he awoke, he missed his mo-
ney, which he had incautiously displayed when drink-
ing ; but his companions had all left the house. The
following day, Cartwright changed a 51. note, which
excited suspicion, and the fact being communicated stn
the Commanding Officer, Cartwright was secured,
and thete %vele build on his person 121. or 141. besides
the 5/. which he had changed. The prisoner in his
defence said, the prosecutor gave him the money to
cake care of, as he was very drunk, and he intended
to have returned it.-1-le was found Guiky.
Anailsan Proud stood indicted for stealing various pieces of slab
marble, the property of Mr. Chadwick.—Guilty.
During the examination, a question arose as to whether marble
was stone? and after a great deal of desultory conversation, it was
decided that marble was a species of stone.
G. Coates and T. Dellis were indicted for stealing, on the 21st of
May, one handkerchief, value Is. the property of Thomas Brown.
—The Jury returned a verdict of Gutty against both prisoners.
Charles Tamia was indicted for having received and appropriated
to his own use two sovereigns and See shillings, the property of
his master, John Colson.—Guilty.
W. Wildesnass was indicted for stealing, on the 251 of June, a
pocket handkerchief, value live shillings, the property of John
Ilaxard.—Ussilty.

There is at present residing at Brussels a Brazilian
Royal Family. His Majesty's name is ACDOLA, King
of a tribe called the Puris. his consort was wife to the
King of another tribe, whom he slew, and thus became
posse,sed of the widow. They are accompanied by
their son. They were visited, we understand, by
Prince MAXIMILIAN, in his travels in Brazil.

Sunday evening, in the absence of the servants, who
were attending a place cf worship, the house of Mrs.
Weston, 32, Upp .r Baker-street, was broken open,
every room ransacked, and a great quantity of plate,
jewellery, &c. stolen.
A crocodile, measuring 18 feet from head to tail,was
killed at Barrycore, in the East Indies, a short time
since. It bad committed great havock on the banks of
the river, and in the stomach was found part of a wo-
man, a dog, a cat, and part of a sheep, besides several
rings and other ornaments worn by the native women.
A few days since, several acres of land, tear Nelson's
Crescent, ltamsgate, were purchased for a sum exceed-
ing one thousand pounds per acre !
A case of great importance to French printers was
decided a few days ago, by the Cour ltoyale of Paris.
M. Firmin Didot, a celebrated Parisian printer, bad
printed, for the South American market, a work writtt n
in Spanish. The packages containing the work were
about to be embatked for their destination, when the
police obtained notice of the transaction, and seized the
copies, as a contravention of the law which imposes on
printers the obligation of inserting their names and
address on every work which issues from their press.
This regulation, which would be injurious to a work
destined wholly for foreign use, was not complied with
in this case. The Court of Correctional Police, there-
fore, decided against M. Firmin Didot, and confirmed
the seizure of the books by the Government Officers.
This eminent printer appealed against this sentence to
the Cour Royale, which decided that there being no
rublication in France (a; all the copies which had
issued from the press had been sent to the Custom-
house), there was consequently no infraction of the
spirit of the law, which requires the formality of the
printer's name as a security for the contents of the
work. French printers may, therefore, by this decision,
print foreign books of all kinds not intended for circu-
lation in France, without becoming liable for the nature
of the contents, or offering the guarantee of their names
, for the accuracy of their labours.

ELECTION FOR SFIERIFtS.
Though the contest virtually terminated on Wednes
day, the Poll continues open, as a matter of course, till
this afternoon. Mr. Dove, who resigned on the pre-

that he had not been altogether well treated. At the

thanks for the distinguished honour conferred- upon
them by the votes of their fellow-citizens. The num-

DEATH OF ISAAC LEVY, ESQ.

Yesterday, an Inquisition was taken at the Cock and
Magpie Tavern, Hammersmith, on Isaac Levy, Esq.
aged 60 years, a merchant and stockbroker.
The deceased Gentleman, with his Llify, son, and
other friends, had gone in a barouche and four for the
purpose of witnessing the grand Review on Hounslow
Heath. The party bad proceeded to the Red Cow, at
Hammersmith, when the postillions stopped to feed the,
horses, and here the deceased first complained of being'
indisposed in his stomach, when a small portion of
brandy and water was given him, from which he seemed
to revive. They again went on their journey as far as
the above house, where the deceased, ssho appeared very
uneasy, Fot out of the carriage, and walked into the par-
lour. the deceased still complaining of the violent at-
tack, his son sent for medical attendance.
Mr. Mark Dewsnap, surgeon, of Ilammersm7th—On
Tue,day last I a:tended the deceased at this house; saw
him first in the parlour ; he was complaining of great
pain in his chest. I gave him some medicine, from
which be appeared much better, and I desired him to
remain quiet; for which purpose he went np stairs to a
bedchamber. I then quitted the house, but think not
more than half an hour, berate I was sent for again. I
then found him lying in bed, on his back, and he expired
just as I entered the room. I believe his death was cc-
casioned by an effusion of water in the chest. Here the
witness handed in a certificate from another Medical
Gentleman, to the following purport :
" It is my opinion, from the very frequent opportunities I have
had of judging of the late Mr. Isaac Levy's disease, that his death is
to be attributed to effusion of water in the chest.
(Signed) " R. L REED, Surgeon,
" June 29, 1825. 16, Mount-street, Whitechapel-road."
The Jury returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of Gun."

Letters from Spain state, that the provinces of La
Mancha, Murcia, and Estramadura, are ravaged by
flights of locuqs—and that the eff nts of a considerable
number cf labourers, paid fifteen pence a day for de.
stroying them, are of little avail.
The accounts from the Hop Counties are very unfa-
vourable. The hops have suffered considerably from
the fly and the honey dew. The filberts have been also
much injured, but the corn appears healthy.
A Brussels Paper states, that Mrs. BECHER, late
Miss O'NEILL, the celebrated a:tress, is now in Paris,
deprived of sight, and is about to undelgo an operation
for rata, act.

There are still many dis:iples of Joanna Southcote at
Ashton under-Lyne, and one of them has assumed the
-haracter of a prophet, and in a published rhapsody
calls upon his fellows to assume the name of " True
Israelites," to abandon such of their garments as contain
a mixture of linen and wool, and to put away all picto-
rial representations. Five respectable Gentlemen have
actually signed their names to a paper, recommending
this rhapsody to the obedient attention of mankind.
The works at the British Museum, as well as other
public places, are suspended, in consequence of the
combinations and strikes among the carpenters.
Quebec Papers to the 24th ult. have arrived. A
Public Meeting of the inhabitants had been called, for
the purpose of discussing the plan of a new Canal to
connect the lakes of Ontario and Erie, and to proceed
through a whole chain of minor lakes. -
The Royal Society for the Improvement of Prisons
held a meeting at Paris, on Friday, in the apartments of
the Dauphin, its President. The Prince opened the
meeting by a short speech, in which he declared the
solicitude of the King for the amelioration of the situa-
tion of the prisoners. The Minister of the Interior read
a report of the recent labours of the Society. Eighteen
out of the nineteen central prisons had been improved,
and the attention of the Society is directed to the only
remaining one. The Prefect of the Department gave
an account of the improvement of the Paris prisons, and
stated that seven or eight millions of francs are required
to carry into execution the ameliorations proposed. Of
this sum fire millions arc already secured, and the rest,
it is hoped, will be obtained witircut difficulty. The
Hon. Prefect added, that he had been to England for
the purpose of making himself acquainted with the pri-
son system, and admitted that that country had made
much greater progress than France. The Prefect of the
Police, and several other Members of the Society, ad-
dressed the meeting, which afterwards broke up.
An Inquest was held yesterday, at St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, on the body of James Lowe. The deceased
was returning from making hay for a Mr. Laythorpe,
on Monday evening last, in company with three others,
on horseback, in Bow-lane, Holloway, when the pony
the deceased rode took fright at a cart behind him,
driven by J. S.nith, who was standing in the cart
without reins, having two horses trotting at the rate of
five mile: an hour. The shaft of the cart came in con.
tact with the pony's flank, turned it round close under
the off wheel, which struck it down,and passed over the
body of the deceased, whose ribs were fractured, and
otherwise injured, of which he died.—The Jury were of
opinion, that the deceased's death was occasioned by
Smith not being in his proper situation, at the head of
his horses, and returned a verdict of Manslaughter
against him, and he was taken into custody.
A specimen of a New Coinage of Sovereigns has
been sent from the Mint to the Bank. The coin is ca..
tainly much better-executed than any that has been'
issued for some years. The head of the KING is plain
(without a wreath), from a die executed, we believe,
after CHANTRET'S burst, and possesses considerable
relief as well as delicacy. On the reverse are the arms
of the kingdom on a shield, surrounded with a scroll
border, and surmounted with a crown. There is no
attempt to distinguish the colours of the coats by lines
according to the rules of blazonry, (as was done in the
half•crowns and other coins,) so that the whole of the
bearings are in a plain bright ground, which adds to
the clearness and simplicity of the effect. The whole
of the inscription is not on one side, as in the old
sovereigns, but " GEORGIUS IV. DEI GRATIA. Ins."
around the head, and " BRITANNIARUM REX. Fin.
on the reverse.

POLICE INIILLIGENCE.
/11ANSION-HOUSIL
A hawker of fish complained to the Loan MATOII, that a nom- It
her of mackerel, which were not it for use, had been 6014 to him
at Billingspte Market, and that the sellers refused to take than
back. The complainant brought a few into the Justice-Mom, as nk
sample, and the assistant of the clert of the market, one Harlock,.
attended to state why such Ash were permitted tab. sold.
The mackerel were not two minutes in the room, when the
1.0111 Mires was obliged to order all the windows to be thrown
up, so strongly did the fish carry sheet it the symptoms of decay.
The LOW) Mayo& ordered the salesman to pay back the hawker's
money, and to destroy not only the Ash which bad been brought
to the Mansion-hedge, but the whole cargo.
The porter of the King's Arms Inn was charged by a Gentleman'
with having demanded and received sixpence more fur the porteragt
of a parcel than be had a right to ask. It was ascertained that the
clerk of the inn had given a ticket, on which was marked the fat
price, and that the porter had substituted a ticket of his own, ad
which was the illegal demand.
ills Lordship said, the case did•not come under the Porters'
Aet, but he committed the prisoner for the misdemeanour of nba
mining sixpence under false pretences.
M ARYL A-BONNIL
Yesterday, Mrs. Sarah Bell, who lives in a Cottage at llamar
opposite the Duke of York's villa, appeared before ,Jr.' itawste•
sox, charged with grossly assaulting her maid servant, Sarah
Pickett, on Tuesday last.
The complainant, a decent-looking girl, stated, that her mistress, `
without any provocation, as she Considered, entered the kitchen,
abused her in the most improper language, accused her of over-;
boiling some dumplings prepared for her dinner, and finally felled
her to the ground with a violent blow. Sarah Furbett, a char-
woman then at work in the house, ran Into the kitchen to interpose,
when Mrs. Bell, with pugilistic adroitness, knocked her down akse:
The complainant further said, that her mistress refused to pay her
the amount of her wages due (about 41.) and detained all her clothes
The Lady, in her defence, denied the charge us gals and rather
abusively called her servants vile perjurers, infamous wretches, etc.
Mr. Itawl,resox expreesed his surprise at such violent conduct
and language from a Lady, which disposed him to give implicit
credit to the complainant's Statement. The worthy 11agistrate
also observed, that on a former occasion, in his official capacity,
Mrs. excessive warmth of passion was displayed in a similar
manner; but if the parties were disposed towards an amicable ar-
rangement, they were at liberty to retire, otherwise Mrs. Bell
should find bail for the assault.

- •, ~~~ ~A

They were in the act of leaving the office for that purpose, when
two fashionably-dressed Gentlemen (Mr. It..l,ittson and John Switt-
now, Esq.), who gave their address No. Si Holies-street, Cavendish-
square, entered the office, and expressed their astonis'iment and in-
digsation that the amiable deferdant should be so cruelly exposed
and persecuted by a set of perjurers, wretches, creatures, &c.
However, it unfortunately happened that all they said as regarded
the avault was unavailing, for this simple reason—that they were
not present when it was committed.
The Gentlemen were obliged to enter into bail for Mrs. Veil's
appearance at the Sessions, to answer for ti•e assault.

lIATTON-G ARDEN.
W. More n, was charged with obstructing the footway in Hol-
born, by placing himself thereon, with a hoard, announcing the sale
of s' The Priitestant Song," under the patronage of the King, mud
the Duke of York, price id.—Weldon, the Beadle of St. Andrew's
Parish, stated. that he had received repeated complaints of the ob-
structions occasioned by persons of this description, in consequence
of which he ordered the defendant to depart, and on his refusal, be
seized the placard, and took him to the watch-house, but he was
suffered to go home, on promising to appear at this Office.
Mr. Serjeant Sazion said, whatever other Magistrates might
think, he was convinced that the officer had no right to seize the
placard. The legal method was to lay an information before a Ma-
giurate, or indict the individual at the Sessions for a nuisance. As
the complainant had adopted a wrong course, he should dismiss the
present case, but should a similar one be brought regularly before
him, be should enforce the law with rigour.
UNION-HALL.
Batter:me Sounzas.—Captain Adams, of the 17th lancers,
cimplained to the Magistrates of the prevalent system by which
publicans upon whom soldiers are billetted, in breach of the military
law, make contracts with the men to find themselves in the one
meal, which ought, by such law, to be provided by the land-
lord himself.

Four of Messrs. Barth'', Perking, and Co.'s draymen, were fined
Ss. each. and costs, for riding on their shafts, having no person on
foot to manage the hone.

TOWN-HALL
Julia Brie*, fourteen years old, was charged with robbing Mr.
Hemmingway, leatherseller, of Bermondsey-street. The priso-
ner had lived servant with the prosecutor -between four and live
months, during which time between £4O and £5O had been missed
from a drawer in the bed-room. The prisoner was discharged, but
nothing was found upon her, but subsequent to her leaving, two
sovereigns were found concealed in some bed-side carpeting, clue
to the drawers, and a knife, which corresponded with an impres-
sion left upon them. The prisoner made no defence, and was
fully committed. .
