histlbree Or four years, and on the Bth of July last, he discounted a
bill of exchange for £l5 and upwards, for the prisoner, out of
which be (witness) dedixted the sam of 1811 then owing by the pri-
soner, and then paid him the rest by a check on his bankers,
Westorrand Co. for £l3 "11;o: (now produced) ; and, upon ezami-
sedan thereof, there appeats•to have been a pen traced over the
dearticters of Ms signature, as if some person had been attempting

bad reason to suspect that he bad paid him a sovereign too into,
Witness accordingly asked him to-return the sovereigns. which !„
did, and on again counting them, witness discovered that he ri,d
paidshim £5l instead of ,CSO, which latter circumstance ss...e,d
him to take more notice of the person than be otherwiw

HATTON-GARDEN.

110 w TO DISIPZILSZ 1-esterday.A.A.----ot Hunt, whose fame
stands nearly as high as the clog Billy, as a rat-catcher, accompa-
nied by Ws wife, was brought up from the watch-houtie of the
Foundling ls:state, chargtd by Fagan, the street-hewer, under the
following circumstances:—Fagan stated, that on the evening of
yesterday Isis attuution was attracted by a Crulvl in Cronter•ttrte•,

and, on going tip, he, saw the prlioson-lying on Lhe steprefa door.
Ile lay with sonic tymp:onis of animation, bot she appeared as if
in a trance; the moment he laid hii had an her, however, she
jumped vp, sprang at hint liter a tigress, tore his face and aides,
kicked him in the body, and severely injured him; but for the b.
terference of Cadby, the other street-keeper, she would have usen
him to pieces. Cadhy also came in for his share of her favours,
and they were compelled to hire two athletic labourers, when each
raking a limb, in that manner they took her to the warch-howe.
This novel nictliod of getting a prisoner to the watch house
tracted a great mob, which, however, was very quickly disper:ta
by accident. The rat-catcher (whose only crime was intnxica i-n,.
and en,jeavotiring to rescue his energetic spouse) bad a bag of r.:!:
with Lim, which in the general confusion made their escape. Thr

SPAIN.

The following intelligence from Spain has been re-
ceived, via Bayonne:
MADRID, JUNE 17. _ _

The prisons, which are full, in consequence of the
Leva, are surrounded the whole day long by an im-
mense number of persons who are relations or friends
to those confined. Au almost impenetrable veil is
cast over the affairs of Portugal. All letters from that
country which mention politics are intercepted with-
out distinction. The Apostolic Junta, notwithstanding
the check it has lately received, exerts itself more than
ever. The King has just re-established the general
superintendence of the Depets (Positos), or public Gra-
naries, on the same footing as previous to 1820. His
Majesty has made numerous promotions in the Royal
Guards. The procession of Corpus Christi has been ce-
lebrated with extraordinary pomp; persons had in-
scribed their names, doubtless for form sake, in the corps
which are to go out on the conquest of the Colonies.
We learn from Saragossa, that the prisoners are set
at liberty.

FROU THE ETOILE OF MONDAY EVENING.
MADRID. JUNE 17. _ _ _

Colonel Quintanalas, who is arrested for having been
guilty of sacrilegiously laying bands on the sawed
person of the King, to compel him to accept and pub-
licly proclaim the Constitution, has been transferred to
the prison of Barcelona.
The authorities of Grenada, Malaga, Carthagena,
&c. interpreting the decree of amnesty after their own
manner, have caused to be arrested many citizens clan
classes, and even several Generals and superior Officers;
among whom are a great number of those included in
the Capitulation of Ballasteros, among (abets, the Aid-
de-Camp who signed the Capitulation, General Zarco
del Valle, the Marquis de Campo Verde, Prince Pio,
the two brothers Montes, &c. &c.

PARIS, JUNE 28.
We have received by Express, journals and letters
from Madrid, of the date of June 22.
Letters from Panama announce that the Royal troops
have entered Lima and Callao, and thus the whole of
Upper Peru is again under the dominion of Spain.

MANSION-HOUSE.

TITHLS OF THE CITY or LcNnox.—Yesterday, a Gentleman con-:
nected with the Law, named Monkhouse, applied to the Lono
MAYOR for a warrant of distress upon the goods and chattels of one
of the Society of Friends. red.lent in the City, for arr..arq of tithes
due to the 'lector of St. Helen's, ilishopsgate. The application
was made in behalf of Mr. /WI/n:3gal', of Lincoln's Inn, the lay
impropriator of tithes in a very extensive district, who claintid the
sum of two shillings and nine-pei:ze in the pound, under the Act of
the 37th cf henry VIII. The tithe it appeared was two years in
arrear on Lady-day last. The defendant, accoriling to the custom
of the Society of which he is a member, refused pereMptorily to
pay any tithes whatever, unless upon compulsion by process of law.
After a long conversation, the LOBO M*voa declined granting
either a warrant or a summons.

RbyAi ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
Natiy.of the pupils in this Establishment proceed
most successfully in their labours. Another morning
Concert was given yesterday, at the King's Ancient
'Concert Rooms, which was fashionably and numerously
attended. H. G. Blagrove and C. A. Seymour again
distinguished themselves on the violin; and D. Smith,
a pupil of Spagnoletti, was effective on the same instru-
ment in a Concerto. The instrumental performances
were certainly excellent, and gave much satisfaction.
The different parts were played with spirit and preci-
sion, and would have done credit to any concert.

BOW-STREET-THIS DAY.
ROBBERY AT EARL COWPER'S.

Armes Harvis,Jayses Davis, Wnt. Sullivan, Was. ]larch, and Henry
Hadley, were put to the bar, charged with being corcnn:d in the
late burglary at Earl Cowper's stewards The prisoners were appre-
hended this morning, at a house in Chaneery-lane, by Bishop,
Nicholls, Avis, and Morris, the officers, who, as we before stated,
Lave been in active pursuit of them. With respect to Davis,
Harris, and Iladley, the evidence is very strong, but not so with
respect to the others, whose friends were sent to, and in the event
of their story being correct, Sir RICIIA tin Blame .::..lid he would dis-
charge them. The others, however, he observsd, were not so for-
tunate ; as the Magistrates knew they were tight with respect to
them, he should commit them.
There is anothtr in custody, on another charge, in the City, and
information was sent off, stating that he was charged with a capital
felony, and to detain hies.

DEURY-LA A E THEATRE.

Mrs. BLAND, whose distressed condition has ex-
cited so much sympathy in the minds of her fellow•
performers and of the public, took a benefit, or rather
had her name put up for one, at this Theatre last night.
It is a curious fact, that the benefit of a reduced actor
or actress is almost the only charity which the London
people will go to a playhouse to support. Most of the
" nights" attempted for general benevolent purposes
fail; while the appeals of direct theatrical origin, nine
times in ten, are decidedly successful. Mrs. BLAND'S
bill last night was a very attractive one; and her re-
ceipt, independent of presents, mutt have been consi-
derable. Euarrrorr acted in the Liar; and his Young
Wilding is agreed to be beyond all price. MATHEWS
played Morblest, in the farce of Monsieur Mason, with
very great applause, and good effect. With great eccen•
tricity and humour, and above all, liveliness of limb,
throughout the part, he makes a half pathetic touch of
the " reduced Generale de Division" effective now and
then; and, as a favourite (absolute), he can venture to
throw in his own jokes occasionally, some of which are
not unhappy. Among the good things of the evening,
Kt4rowr did justice to the old favourite of Kitty Clover,
and in his encore, introduced the following verse at the
conclusion:

" Sweet Iraq Clover, my bliss does not know,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
For she never has heard the rapturous hand
Give justice and pr.ise to our favourite Banat,
Whose voice always made all our bosoms to glow ;
But why need I speak what our patrons well know r
The performances of the night concluded with the
farce of The Mayor of Garrott, supported by Mr. Hui-
SELL and Mr. Dowrow. Almost all the leading L .n.
don actors who could be spared horn other Theatres,
and several of the leading performers of the Italian
Opera, contributed their aid towards the entertainment.
The whole—though it lasted very long—went off in a
tray to give general satisfaction ; and the house, we
was pleased to see, was crowded in all parts.

" The Newspapers never hesitate to criticise the rtrt--
sures of Government, and, if one were to credit them,
affairs would go on much better if they were at the
head of them ; I do not know whether this *mild be
the CASC with the Editor who gives us Sir Charles Bagot
for Sir Charles Stuart, as Ambassador at this Court.—
Even if the English Government meditated any diplo-
matic changes, it would hesitate a long time before it
changed Sir Charles Stuart, whose diplomatic skill and
sound judgment, and whose intimate knowledge of the
whole arcana of French politics would render him very
difficult to replace ; for any one to be Ambassador at
this Court and do justice to the interests of his own, he
ought to serve a noviciate of a year at least under Sir
Charles Stuart."

cerning Sir Alexander Wilson, in his capacity of an
officer of the Chepstow Yeomanry corps. Defendant
was printer and publisher of the paper iu question.
Several affidavits were put in on both id, and after,

be imprisoned in the custody of the Marshal for one
month, should pay a fine to the King of 1001. and givp
securities for his good behaviour, himself in 2QOI. and
two others in -1001. each.

Mr. BALE now 'hewed cause against the rule; the

GARLAND- JULYiL.

This Was an action brought by the Lord of a Manor
against the executer of the celebrated Sir Charles Ban-
bury, to recover the value of fourteen horses; claimed
to be due as heriots, in respect to fourteen parcels of
copyhold land, held by Mr Charles is his life as tenant
of the plaintiff As all these fourteen parcels of land
had descended to Sir Charles, and were united in his
person, it was contended for the defendant that his
estate was only liable to the payment of two heriots. It
was replied. on the tart of the plaintiff that the land
having been once divided into several reechoes held by
different tenants, end having thus become liable to-the
payment of several !series, those heriots were still of
right demandable. although the different estates were
united in one possession. One of the horses originally
claimed as a heriot, was the famous horse Smolensko,
which was valved at 2,0001. but as it was not on the
ground at the time the claim was made, it was de-
cided on the trial of the cause that the plaintiff was not ,
entitled to it.
The Oita JUSTiCa gave judgment in the case at
great length, and decided that in their opinion only two
heriots were payable to the Lord of the Manor. The
Learned Judge gave a luminous history of heriots, which
he said of iginated in a state of pure villanage, and was
the tribute which the heir of the copyholder paid to his
Lord, to be compromised in the interest which his an.
seater bad held. At the time it originated the villain,
had no permanent interest in the land, that interest had
not been changed by any statute, but he spoke it with
pride, the change bad been effected by the Lawyers in
Westminster Hail they bad in effect abrogated the
feudal system of villanap, and so long as a copyholder)
performed suit and service, he had now a permanent in-
terest in the land which could not be taken from him.
The plaintiff is this case had originally seised, on they
death of Sir Charles Illunbury, above twenty race horses
which were on the estate at the time; and among them
the famous horse Smolensk°.

The following has been is►ued by Bolivar, from Trusillo:
" PROCLADIATION.
" Peruvians—The disasters of the army, and the contentions of
parricidal parties, have reduced Peru to the lamentable condition of
thawing recourse to the tyrannical power of a Dictator to preserve it.
The Constitutional Congress has confided to me this odious autho-
rity, which I could not have refused without treason to Colombia
and to Peru, intimately connected by the bonds of justice, liberty,
.ind national interest. I should have preferred never to have come
to Peru, and I should even have preferred your kiss itself to the
odious title of Dictator. But Colombia was comproniised, and I
could not hesitate.
" Peruvians, your Chiefs, your internal enemies, have calum-
niated Colombia, her brave defenders, and myself. They say that
we intend to usurp your rights, your territory, and your indepen.
dence. I declare to you, in the name of Colombia, and by the oath
of the liberating army, that my authority shall not exceed the time
indispensably requisite to prepare ourselves for victory ; that at the
moment the army leaves the provinces which it now occupies, you
shall be constitutionally governed by your own laws and your own
Magistrates.
" Peruvians, the field of battle, which will be a witness of the
valour of our soldiers and the triumph of your liberty, that fortu.
nate field shall see me throw from my hands the Dictatorship; and
from that field I and my brothers in arms, having given you liberty,
will return to Colombia, without taking a grain of sand from Peru.

NORTHAMPTON, JULY ft

tint LINO V. ROBERT JOIINSOR.
'This was an indictment consisting of two omits, the
one charging the defendant with a violent assault upon
the person of Mary Sivins, with intent to commit a rape.
The other count charged him simply with the assault.
Mr. N. C.CLARK addressed the Jury, and stated, that
the prosecutrix was a girl about nineteen years of age,
the daughter of a cottager residing at Claycoton, in
Northamptonshire ; the -defendant was a lad of the
same class of life, aged about 17, and residing In the
adjoining parish. The Jury would find, that on the
15th of April last, the prosecutrix was employed
in a field or close, collecting scraps of wool drop.
ped at that time of the year by the sheep, before
they are sheared; the prisoner was then out of em-
ploy, and was loitering about the fields ; he approached
the prosecutrix, and adirised her to go and look for
wool in a pen, which was at the corner of the field.
—The prosecutrix proceeded in the direction which
the prisoner had pointed out, but turning round,
she found that he was following her ; he then taxed
her with having circulated reports injurious to his
character—an accusation which she strenuously denied,
but which he continued to urge against her in the most
-positive manner; at length he laid hold of her, and
threw her down, and attempted a violation of her pet-
son—an attempt in which he would, in all probability,
have succeeded, but for the approach of some person
passing through the close. The gill, immediately he
had released her, flew home, and rel-"ed to her mother
and sister the brutal outrage to which she had been so
unhappily exposed. On the next day the paretic ac-
companied her daughter to a neighbouring Magistrate,
and eventually the prisoner was committed to take his
trial for the offence. Upon inquiry, it appeared that
the offence had not proceeded so far. This apparent
discrepancy could be easily accounted for by the youth
and inexperience of the prosecutrix, which little enabled
her, in a moment of alarm and trepidation, to make any
accurate distinction between the attempt and the actual
commission of the crime.
Mary Sivins, the prosecutria, was then called and swerno—She is
a girl of vary ordinary appearance, and of rather a forbidding as-
pect. Her evidence confirmed the opening speech of the Learned
Counsel.

Mr. Gomm:nue addressed the Jury for the prisoner, turd com-
mented on the improbability of the evidence.
The Learned Judge Ho&aovu amused up. and the Jury, after a
short consultation, foundthe prisoner guilty of only the assauk, and
the Judge sentenced hint to one year's imprisonment, and us be pri-
vately whipped. _
