POLICE IyTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-lIOUSE.
Yesterday, Vicobeth Aulfield, the wife of a notorious brothel.
keeper in Shire-lane, underwent another examination on the
of having stolen 37M. in banknotes; and also on the chargr4
baying knowingly uttered a forged bank post bill for 151. at as
shop of Mr. Ellis, silk-mercer, of Ludgate-hilL
The principal facts charged against the pi-Lao:ter, in both case%
were some time since reported in our Paper. The case had be%
postponed to procute the attendance of a Mr. Little, to whom
bill was made payable, but who had not indorsed it. Prom nag
Gentleman it was stolen, and afterwards indorsed with his Dam%
.and passed. Mr. Little not appearing yesterday,
The Loan Mayo!' expressed his surprise, when,
Mr. Ellis, solicitor on behalf of Mr. Ellis, of Ludgate-hill, ratt
he was aware that if the prisoner were convicted of uttering 04
forged indorsement knowingly, she would in all probability he,-„,
cuted. The law made it his duty prosecute, yet his fetilkigs.
vented him from coming forward, when, for such an off:net-,
low-creature might be deprived of life. Under these rim:nut:ea,
wavering between his duty and his feelings, Mr. Ellis taeggee tot.;
allowed not to press the charge further.
The Loan Marisa intinuted that it wined be his duty to etfi.,ce
the prosecution. If he were to allow his feelings to come haul:l4j,
be would not be then sitting in that Chair.
Some conversation then took place between the parties, la te
course of which, Mr. Autry, who attended for the prisoner, Film
tinned that if the prisorrer were convict,!. of the larceny,s:k wo4
in all probability be transpclrte.l for life.
Mr. Ellis, solicitor, said that would be very desirable, and !!-.
Ellis would willingly prosecute in such a case.
Mr. Auutv observed, that he knew the feeling against pre*.
curing in cases of forgery and uttering, where the punishment of tker
offence was capital, was very general, :Intl that but for that 61.4
the piosecutions would he incalculably multiplied.
The Loan MAYOR remanded the prisoner, and gave directions that
the partits•be summoned to attend and give evidence aJainat her.

DARMSTADT, NOVEMBER Is.

The first Committee of the Second Chamber pre-
poscsto request the Government actively to continue
its exckiolis for the conclusion of a commercial con-
vention with the neighbouring States, and to bring them
to a termination favourable to the welfare of the whole
country. On the discussion of this proposal, M. Hoff-
.snal:n, Commissioner of the Government, on the ques-
tion being put to him, declared, '• that such a termina-
tion was not only possible but probable, and that as soon
as the other Governments interested were seriously.in-
dined, our Govesthnent would make no difficulty."

attempts at revolt had been' snide et Pasto and Santa

which excited. much indignation. A decree has there-

niards who have not rendered important services td

departure from Maracaibo and Laguira; in the former
only eight will remains and in the latter only two;

The Mexicans are said, iii letters from Vera Cruz, to

if a gun was fired at the said island, he would open a
fire on the city, and lay it in ashes. But all hostilities
had been suspended until the arrival of General Vic-

BOXING.

The great fight between Moss, the Bath tinman, and Collins, the
navigator, took place yesterday, at Wanstead. It was a tight which
excited much interest, and was an out-and-out one, where bundles
of specuLturs agreed upon winning. Simpson, the cricketer, seconded
the unman, and Johes, from London, picked up Collins.
In the *rat round the ring rang with applause Moss hit his man
down after a gond rally. It was "na go," said the Prindpality of
Wanstead Town; but Moss taught them an extra relief.
. . .

9.d. 'f countrymen thought their adsocate, in all the bullying
quarters, tou:d give a negative to their industry. Cullina floored
his man.

a stupifying hit that made a ward in Cunicery.
In the fourth round the fight was settled. Collins went in, and
the l'intnan met him. It was the Bristol mail against the accom-
modating pair-horse coach.
5. Finish was not the order—finishing was not yet the go—the
aspiring lad got a hit under the cheek bone, which drew a cool*

LADIMI AND Garry,
ALTHOUGH the result of the Ballot this day at
the East India House has not placed me in the honourable
situation to which I aspire, I should be wanting in gratkudelf
did not embrace the earliest opportunity of acknowledging my high
sense of obligation to those Proprietors who have se zealously
exerted themselees in my favour.
Adverting to the powerful union of interests which has been
opposed to me, and to the unavoidable absence of many of my
Friends at this season, I feel a comparative degree of pride and
satisfaction that the circumstances attending the contest have in-
spired me with the most sanguine hopes of future success.
I shall persevere with unabated activity, under the confident
assurance of increased strength from those Friends who will now
feel themselves at liberty to support me : I therefore earnestly and
respectfully solicit the favour of your votes and influence upon the
next vacancy.
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen,

AMERICAN AND TURKISH PRIVATEERS.

_~~-

Various complaints have been lately made by the
proprietors of merchant ships, on account of the re-
peated aggressions of American and Turkish privateeri
on the 'high seas. An American cutter, of 24 guns,
boarded three British merchantmen off the S.W. coast,
in the course of the last week, and, after helping them-
selves to whatever they pleased, in small arms, ammu-
nition, spars, sail-cloth, and cordage, the privateer
sheered off. When she first hove in sight, the British
flag was flying at the mast-head, but on nearing the
merchant craft, it was hauled down, and the United
States ensign hoisted in its stead. This was supposed
to have been intended merely as a lure to the Captains
of met chant ships, and as a protection in the event of
meeting with any armed vessels of superior force. Two
of the s essels attacked were richly laden with cotton
and sugar; and are supposed to belong to Bristol or
Liverpool—the third is a Newry vessel, and homeward-
bound from Jamaica. With the exception of the arti-
cles already mentioned, they demanded nothing else of
any value.

The captain of the privateer is represented to be an
Englishman, as well as many of the crew, all of whom
appeared to be good sailors, and most determined fel-
lows. A communication of this circumstance has been
already made to the Admiralty Board, and two frigates
are under orders to cruise off that coast, for the protec-
tion of the trade. Two Algerine corsairs have also
been seen off the coast, but they were more wary in
respect to English ships, though they did not hesitate
to attack and pillage the vessels of other nations. The
Van Schlugel, a Dutch merchantman, came into this
port to refit : the pirates had taken out her jury and
topmasts, mainyat ds, and rigging, besides arms, ammu-
nition, and provisions together with the ship's papers,
and a quantity of specie, the property of the captain :'
they are described as being vet y fast sailers, cutter-
rigged, and carrying fourteen long guns, besides a
great quantity of small arms.

Yesterday his MAJESTY, With his usual attendants,
took an aiting for a considerable time in the Great
Park. It was MAJESTY'S intention to have gone
to London at the end of this week, but his Maiasry's
departure from the Royal Lodge is unavoidably post-
poned for the present. Some threatening symptoms
of gout are said to be the cause of this postponement.
Toe Lotto SrEsva RD and his family, whose departure
was to have taken place about the middle of this week,
are also lengthening their stay at the Royal Lodge.

INSURRECTION IN PORTUGAL.

The Mote, a French Paper, gives an article under
the head of Ciudad Rodrigo, March 20, which says
that the rebellion in Portugal had been suppressed,
and Count Amarante taken: His uniform, sword;
and staff of command were taken from him, thrown
on the ground, and trampled on by the whole army
in succession, except by the regiment of Almeida,
which Amaranthe had commanded, and who were
therefore excused from inflicting this degradation.
On the other band, a private letter in a Morning
Paper, from Madrid, under date March 25, states as
follows:—" Intelligence has arrived here, which per-
haps you may have heard before now, that of the
4,000 men who marched with General Rego to pur-
sue Silveira, 8,000 deserted from him to the ranks of
the enemy on their approaching within sight of them,
and that Silveira found it no difficult matter to de-
stroy or rout the remainder. If this be true, the. Por-
tuguese Constitution is nearly in as perilous a situa-
tion as that of Spain."

b' the Corporation of Dnblin
Mr. GOULBURN said, the question to which the
eight on. Gentleman alluded was about to become
the subject of legal inquiry and adjudication.
SHIPWRIGHTS.

Mr. SYKES presented a Petition from certain Mer-
chants and Ship owners of the Port of Hull, com-
plaining of certain grievances and losses to which
ahar bad been subjected by the existing laws relative
to smuggling.
The persons who had signed this Peti-
tion were merchants, and men possessing property to
an amount exceeding 1:500,000, and the evil of which
they complained was, that their property had been
spited and confiscated by the Customs upon a plea
of their ships having contraband goods on board, al-
though they
were wholly ignorant of the circurn-
owe, and, perhaps, at a distance of some hundreds
of miles at the time such smugling transaction on
hoard the vessels took place. l'he Hon. Gentleman
s:ited several cases in which vessels had been seized
in consequence of some individual having. unknown
to the Master, conveyed a small quantity of contra-
band goods on board. He particularly called the at-
minion of the House and of his Majesty's Govern-
ment to this circumstance.
Mr. HERRIES was not aware of any cases of
abuse having occurred under this system, and if any
such existed—if any individual had had his vessel
seized unjustly, he would, on application to the Trea-
sury, have obtained the release of the vessel, on
proving the injustice which he had suffered. The
subject, however, should be attended to.
Mr. BRIGHT complained much of the system at
present pursued, as vexatious in the extreme. He
was aware that, on application to the Treasury, a
man might get his vessel restored ; but it would not
be until he had paid a considerable sum, and incur-
red considerable trouble and anxiety. This system
placed the commerce of the kingdom completely at
the mercy of the Excise.
Mr. CURWEN would support the Petition, upon
facts which had come within his own knowledge.
General GASCOYNE strongly condemned the
present system, and called on the Government to
put an end to it.
After a few words from Mr. Svtics, the Petition
was received, and ordered to be printed.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS.

Mr. BRIGHT wi tied to know from the Honour.
able Solicitoi -General, whether he intended to bring
in any measure for amending the Law relating to In-
solvent Debtors ? The Session was rapidly advancing,
and the country was extremely anxious en the subject.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, it was his in-
tention, on Fi 'clay next, to bring in a Bill to amend
the present Insolvent Debtors' Act.
