THAMES' POLICE.

J. *lye, the boatswain of the ship CAlicrine Stuart Forbes,
trading from St. Helena, was brought before the sitting Magis-
trate, charged with having killed J. Fe-arson, the butcher of the ship,
on the '24th u. April, en the voyage homeward. It was stated in
evidence he three or the pris.,:;er s messmetes, that he and the de-
' ceased had bad various disputes on the passage ; that the prisoner,
upon the occasion which concludtd fatally for the deceased, charged
the I,r!er with naving acted, ever since the vessel left Gravesend,
a lazy lubber, and wilt having left the brunt of the labour to
his mesamates; that the prisoner and the deceased were at this time
sitting close to the hatcißvay, and that the deceased said he was as
rand a man as the other, and able to prove it at that moment; that
the language between theni became more and more violent; and
that at length the prisoner seized a tin por which lay ntar the spot
on which they were sitting, and struck the dece”ed, who tumbled
down the hatchway, the batches being up. The witnesses could
not swear whether the fall of the deceased was to be attributed to
the blow, or to the endeavour to get out of the way of it. Neither
the pr:soner nor the deceased were remarkable for engaging in quar-
rels of any kind, and the prisoner exhibited upon the occasion a
considerable degree of sorrow and apprehension respecting the de-
ceased. - For two days the unfortunate butcher lingered under thy
bands of th surgeon, and then died.

The Magistrate, under all the circumstance:, committed the pri-
soner upon the charge of Manslaughter.

The stiro it cost last year to collect the Tax on Salt,
amounted to £32,000.

The number of steam vessels now'employed in Great
Britain is 160. The largest in size are the packets
which ply between Leith and London, and next to those
are the packets which sail between Liverpool and
Greenock, and between Liverpool and Dublin.
The Leeds Mercury says, " The Petition to Parlia-
ment for the reversal of the sentence of the late Mr.
SMITH, the Missionary to Demerara, and for the future
protection of Christian Missionaries, has received about
5,000 signatures in this town, in the coarse of the pe-
t sent week."

W. Batting, a boy belonging to the National School
in Baldwin's•gardens, was on Monday cleaning the win-
dows of the Establishment, preparatory to the Anniver-
sary Meeting of the Governors, when he fell therefrom,
and was killed on the spot.
To EXTINGUISH FIRE.—We have, on a former occa-
sion, mentioned the idea first conceived at Rome, of ex-
tinguishing fire in chimnies by throwing flour of sulphur
on the fire in the grate. Recent experiments in France
I have fully confirmed the success of this method, which
is in fact perfectly consonant with this theory. But the
person using it must be careful not to throw too great
a quantity,:bf sulphur, because he would be exposed to
inhale the noxious effluvia, which destroy animal life,
on the same principle that they extinguish the fire.—

this grrat fight for the Ath June, nnd takers left off at two to one.
Spring, who had a touch of (pulsey last week, has recovered, and
he is training on well at his old place in Surrey, and regards gin-
ning to a tolerable certainty. Langan is training on to the best pitch,
and he, like his antagonist, thinks of nothing but winning. Ihv-
match being quite out of the line of traders in selling, excits tee
greatest interest. A further deposit, making .501. a-side towar.i.

There was no betting, but the Sheaces offered tc back their promising

JOINT STCCI: COMPANIES.

Mr. ALEXANDER moved the third reading of the
Alliance Insurance Company Bill.
Mr. GRENFELL leizretted that he did not see the
Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Huskisson) in his
place, *clic. resisted the establishment of these Joint
Stock Companies.
The Bill was read a third time, and passed.
Mr. S. RICE moved the third reading of the Patriotic
Insurance Company of Ireland Bill.
Mr. GRENFELL referred to the opinion expressed
on a former night by the Right Honourable the Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, that these Bills giving liberty
to Companies to sue and be sued by their Secretaries,
dad not do away with the liability of the subscribers
under the Bankrupt Laws, and that their names most

be registered et the stamp Office. If this were correct,
it was Important for the public.telnowfurther whether"
the party transferring his- shales continued afterwards
responsible for all debts contracted daring the period
the share stood in his name? If it were otherwise, the
House would see how little security the public had, and
how impolitic it was to encourage the establishment of
such Companies; for the moment a shareholder found
that the concern was a losing one, and was likely to
fail, he would have only to make over his shares to some
man of straw, not worth a penny, and thereby free the,
whole of his property from the peril in which it would
otherwise be placed. He begged, therefore, to put it
as a question to any Honourable Member on the other
side, whether in law such a transference of property
would not also transfer liability?
Mr. BERRIES said the question was too important
Ito be answered without the aid of high legal authority.
Mr. BRIGHT and Mr. HUME thought the Bill ought
not to pass until this point had been cleared up.
Mr. S. RICE spoke a few words in support of ate,'
Bill, which was then passed.
Mr. HUMP. presented a Petition from the oe4piers of Tene-
ments in St. Catherine's, against the Sr. Catharine's Dock Bin.—
Referred to the Committee.

vinsr FRUITS IN IRELAND.

Ireland iht'l been gtauted by Queen Anne fur the building of
chutelo, endow ment of schools, and had been valued so low by

they were SO licAtt: volt:tidy intended, moved that a Commission
should be apiloi.:teti to inquire into the value and application of the
First Frnit, in Ireland.

111 r. I' EU 7:K rrr opposed the motion ; he said, the rate at which

it woull he imploper fur the [louse to interfere with it.

The a:mouncement of the numbers was received with cheering.

AEROSTATIC EXCURSION.

Mr. Harris, the Gentleman who was the companion
of \I r. Graham in his aerial voyage from Berwick-street,
Soho, to the neighbourhood of Rochester, Kent, as.
cended yesterday, in a balloon of his own propel ty, and
Icenstructed under his own immediate direction, from
the gardens of the Eagle Tavern, in the City-road.
By Lail-past duce the gardens were nearly filled with
well-dressed persons, amounting in number to at least
1,000. About an hour before the ascent took place, a
strong degiee of interest was excited by an announce-
ment that a young lady would ascend with Mr. Harris.
The young adventuress soon after made her appear-
ance. She appeared to be about 18 years of age, of
rather delicate frame and complexion, and her appear-
ance altogether was extremely interesting. Her name
is Stocks, but the rank or situation in lite of her family
was studiously concealed.
The intrepid girl mounted the stage with but a slight
appearance of fear in her manner, and was instantly
greeted with the warmest cheers from the spectators.
Mr. Harris gave the wo;d, and the cords being
slipped, the immense vehicle ascended swiftly for a
short distance, but suddenly stopped, and it was then
discovered by the spectators that one of the four cords
by which it was fastened to the earth had not been
loosened from t:le pole.
A general feeling of alarm prevailed for a few mo-
ments, which was increased by the apparently perilous
situation of the aeronauts at that moment, and there was
a general cry of " Cut the rope—for Gon's sake cut the
rope!" but this was prevented by those who had pre-
viously received their orders, until a signal was given
by Mr. Harris, by the waving of his flag, and the rope
was then severed in a moment, and the balloon, freed
from all restraint, ascended most majestically, the peo-
ple below rending the air with their cheerings, and Mr.
Harris and his fair and courageous companion waving
each a flag from the car.
The stoppage of the balloon, when at a certain height,
was preconcei ted, and is an invention of Mr. thetas's,
we believe entirely new, in order to afford an additional
and prolonged gratification to those who might attend
to witness his attempt.
The balloon bole away in a south-westerly direction,
and was in sight about eight minutes.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held at Guild-
hall, for the dispatch of public business.
The Gaol Committee presented a report relative to a
Bill now before Parliament in respect 01 Gaols, and
suggested the expediency of the Court endeavouring to
obtain a claim to be inserted therein, authorizing the
:11agistrates to commit prisoners from the Borough of
Southwark to Newgate and the other City Gaols, in-
stead of the Borough Compter, which the Court agreed
za, and referred it to the Committee, to take the requi-
,iie measures for effecting the object.
The LORD Mayon communicated to the Court that
the ensuing Sessions at Guildhall would be held on
Monday next-, and at the Old Bailey on the Thursday
following, instead of the days originally appointed.
The Couar was occupied a considerable time in hear-
ing a complaint against James Swaine, a coal under-
taker, and Counsel were heard both for and against him.
After an investigation of the circumstances, he was dis-
charged from his situation.

HAYMARKET.

Love Laughs at Locksmiths, was the first piece in the
order of performances last night. Mr. W. WEST and
Mr. FARRNN were highly successful in their endeavours
to amuse. Exchange no Robbery followed, in which
LISTON, as Sam Swipes, did not fail to draw forth all
that was comic in his audience. The Lady Cranberry
for the occasion was Mrs. CHATTNRLEY ; and Mr. W.
FARREN took the part of Sir Christopher, with great
effect. The rear was brought up by Fish out of Water.

ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.

The interesting romance of The Devil's Bridge was
performed last night. Mr. BRANAM acted Count Bel-
lino, and afforded the audience that high gratification
which they never fail to derive from the exertion of his
extraordinary vocal powers. In If Is there a heart that
never loved," and 66 Fancy's Sketch," he was rapturously
encored, and the most fervent plaudits requited his la-
bours throughout the Opera. Miss Nozz, the young
Lady whose debut we yesterday mentioned, came for-
ward on this occasion, as the Countess Rosalvina. Her
performance realized the hopes which her first appear-
ance excited, and she was again honoured with unqua-
lified approbation. The Opera was strongly cast
throughout. Miss KELLY, fascinating as ever, was
everything that could be wished in Lauretta, and
charmed us with the varieties of playful mirth and
strong sensibility. Claudine, in the hands of Miss
Pover, was all the Author could have desired to see or
hear her. The performances were completely success.
ful, and the House, which was well attended from the
commencement of the evening, was filled in every part
before the Play finished.

LAW REPORT.
COURT OP COMMON PLILAS, JULY 111.
ADAMS AND OT3IIII V. WATTS.
This was an action of trove: by the assignees of
Thomas William Baker, a bankrupt, to recover from
the defendant the amount of the bankrupt's stock in
trade and furniture, of which the defendant took pos-
-session by virtue of a warrant of attorney fretn the
bankrupt, for a debt due by the bankrupt to him.- The
object of the plaintiffs was to prove that the execution
put into the house of Baker by defendant was with his
connivance, in order to give him (Watts) an undue pre-
ference, and in contemplation of bankruptcy. After a
variety of evidence on both sides, the Jury.fiiiund a ver-
dict for the plaintiffs—Damages, 4501.
This trial occupied the whole of the day but the de-
tails offered nothing of any interest to the Public.
ALLISON V. NAWICAN.
The Public will recollect that the plaintiff in this case
recovered against another person (Forster) a verdict for
1501. for injury sustained by his wife, in consequence of
the tax cart in which she rode being upset by the post-
chaise of Forster.
Mr. Serjeant PELL stated now that 1501. not being
sufficient compensation for the injury sustained, his
client had brought the present action against the defen-
dant,, whose servant (the driver of a barouche) was
equally culpable with the former defendant, in produc-1
mg the upset and subsequent injury. The accident oc-
curred on the return to town of the company from the

Epsom Races of 1822.
The Cuts, JUSTICZ here suggested that he con•I
caned in opinion with Lord Chief Justice Dallas (be-
fore whom the former trial was heard) in thinking that
a plaintiff could not recover against two defendants in
separate actions.
Mr. Serjeant PELt persisted, and proceeded to call his
witnesses, who broke down however, and the plaintiff
was nonsuited.

IPSARA.

" &Lows, Aran. 28, 1824.
"Brave Ipsariots!—Seamen have ever proved the
firmest friends of liberty : nobly you have supported
this character. You were among the first to resist op-
pression, and raise the standard of Greece. From the
commencement of the revolution you have sacrificed
your property and your persons to promote the public
good ; you have stood foremost in the fight, and have
humbled the proud Turk ; your free Constitution you
have supported, and Ipsara is an example of its happy
influence. For these reasons I have sent you a Printing-
press, intrusted to my charge by the Greek Committee
of England: accept it as a pledge of attachment from
your brother Islanders; exercise it for the spreading of
knowledge throughout the Archipelago: from know-
ledge emanates power, wealth, freedom, happiness, and
fame. May these blessings, brave Ipsariots, be the
portion of your children—the sweet reward of your
virtuous exertions and your honourable toils.
I am your most devoted Servant,
" LEICESTER STANHOPE."
" • If an elephant suite a branch in which there is a hive, the
bees settle on him, and he runs madly on to destruction. So the
Turks beset by Greeks allow their heads to be struck off without an
effort."

It is stated in accounts from New Orleans, dated the
21st of April last, that Mrs. WATSON, wife of the once
celebrated Doctor, of political notoriety, with her fa-
mily, had arrived there on board the Magnet, from
London, on their way to Cincinnati.
Accounts from Charleston to the 15th ult. have been
received, from which we learn that the State of Georgia
has taken great umbrage at a communication made by
the President to Congress on the subject of the claims
of that State against the United States. This circum-
stance has
given rise to a very angry letter, in reply,
from Governor TROUP, of Georgia, addressed to the
Secretary of War, in which he enters his protest, on be-
half of the people of that State, against the principles
laid down in the communication of the President.—
Governor Tacque declares that the avowal of such
principles involved the destruction of the compact be-
tween Georgia and the United States, made it null and
void, and left no alternative to Georgia but acquiescence
i 1 injustice, or resistance. The Governor, at considerable
length, proceeds to point out various instances of unkind
and unfriendly treatment received at the hands of the
United States. He complains of the absolute denial of
the rights of the people of Georgia at a moment when
it was thought they would have been most respected.
An .article from Bayonne, dated the 4th inst. says,
that in consequence of the Fair held at Pampeluna,
some French troops had been marched from Vittoria to
that place, in order to prevent any extraordinary as-
sembling of the people, or to guard against its having
any dangerous results. It would appear from this that
the state of Spain was still too unsettled to render it
safe for the French to withdraw their troops. And, in-
deed, it is clear that they have no objection to nod a
pretence for prolonging their stay.
