CURTIS V. CURTIS.

Dr. LUSHINGTON stated to the Court, that he had an
application to make in the case of James Curtis, of
Hackney, in the county of Middlesex, who died in
December, 1823, leaving the whole of his property, by
will, to his sister, Mary Curtis. In this will there was
an extraordinary passage, which Tan thus :—" I leave
the whole of my property to my sister, Mary Curtis,
in consequence of the cruel and murderous conduct of
my wife to me during this illness, and at all other times."
This passage she consented to have expunged out of
the-will, before taking probate.
Sir JOHN Nicsiou. said, that unless the passage was
proved not to be genuine, the Court had no power to
omit it in the will.

Dr. JENNER, on the part of the widow, said that she
had no disposition to waste the property, which was
extremely small, by litigation, and had, therefore, no
objection to the will ; but was ready, if necessary, to
prove that there was no foundation whatever for the
imputations cast on her.

Sir J. NICHOLL observed, that it was impossible for
the Court to omit the passage in question. There was
a case before the Court to erase from the will of a per-
son certain words containing slanderous reflections upon
some relatives, but the Court could not interfere here.
Application refused.

QUEEN.SQUARE

Yesterday, Thomas Ensmerams, a private in the 85th Foot, in the
recruiting department, was charged before Messrs. WHITE and
MARKLAND, the Sitting Magistrates, with unlawfully enlisting a lad
named William Bassett, who stated that he was under age, and
also an apprentice.
The account given by the complainant, who is rather defective
in his speech, was that he was sitting on Monday night drinking
at a public-house, near Queen-square, when the defendant, who
had taken a pot of porter, asked him (witness) it he was willing to
have anothet ? Witness said yes, if the defendant would go with
him to the Black Horse; hut the defendant here enquired whether
he had any money ? observing, if not, he would lendliim a shilling
for a weskit. The defendant then put the money into witness's
hand, and dosing it with his fingers, added, it was given in the
King's name.
Mr. klwagLann--Yon should have asked him, soldier, if he
was both " willing and able to serve ?" for you ss ou!d then hate
learned that he was an apprentice, and consequently unable to serve
at all.

The complainant now called two witnesses to prove the facts.
Hobert Langan said he saw the parties drinking together at the
public-house on Monday night. lleard the soldier, Einmerson,
say he would lend Bassett a shilling, which be put into bis hand,
as witness then understood, to be paid back again on the next
Monday.
Another witness, named Keane, confirmed the above testimony.
Mr. WHITi--Well, soldier, this is not the way in which the
King wishes to have soldiers got. His Majesty would, I am cer-
tain, scorn such transactions with sovereign contempt. The affair
is, in my opinion, a most improper entrapment of an apprentice lad,
and is most scandalous to you.
Bassett was then ordered to return the shilling, and for the fu-
ture to keep himself out of such company.

VINO V. JONES.

-
Thin was an applitation for an injunction to restrain the defendant
from proceeding to sell certain property named in the cause, and
also to prevent proceedings at law pending the hearing of the case
before this Court. The question arises out of the sale of property
in which the title is disputed.—lnjunction granted.

Mr. CUING moved for an injunction to restrain a
Gentleman, named William Wells, a pupil in medicine,
who walks St. Bartholomew's Hcspital, from making
suit to a Lady of sevent,e, years of age, named Su-
sannah Adams. The application was made by Mrs.
Anne Jenner, the mother of the young Lady, who
stated, that on the Bth of July last the lover had sent
her a letter, avowing his passion for her dauAter, and
requesting her acquiescence as the only thing wanting
to secure the mutual happiness of him and his fair one.
Upon this vie mother consolted with the other relations,
and they were all of opinion that a Lady of 28,0(W. and
of such connections, was too go.•d a match for one who
had no other title than that of a student walking the
hospital. She wrote to him accordingly, and so did
her solicitor, to inform him that the Lady was a Ward
of Court; that his pretensions were by no means ad-
missible, and that if he meant to act as a Gentleman
he would hot disturb the peace of a quiet family, and
prejudice the young Lady's education (which is not yet
finished) and prospects in life, by urging them further.
Tile solicitor, in consequence of no answer being re-
ceived to either of the letters, called upon him about the
26th of July. Mr. Wells admitted that he had received
the letters. The solicitor entreated him to spare the
Lady and the family the disagreeable consequences of
an application to the -Lord Chancellor, wluch must
inevitably take place if he were to persist in his suit.
Mr. Wells gave him plainly to understand, that he
had no intention of desisting ; and as to the Court of
Chancery, he seemed to think that he knew how to
manage matters so as to evade any exercise of that
authority. It was also sworn that he had, by bribery,
induced one of the servants at the school to deliver a
card of his address, and a request to writelo him, to
the young Lady ; and that the governess of the said
school threatei,ed, that if the parents and friends did
not take effectual means to prevent the recurrence of
such conduct, she must be returned upon their hands.
The affidavits also conveyed an assertion, that the father
of Wells was likely to give hii.concurrence to the pro-
ject of his son upon the person and fortune of the ward.
Injunction granted.

Forty-sevew couple of bounds are gone from Drove Kennel to
Findon, in order to hunt the country in the neighl hood of
Kbepp Castle, the seat of Sir C. M. Burrell, Bert. it West Grinstead,
where Colonels G. and H. Wyndham, the Hon. Mr. King, and
several other sportsmen are on a visit. As the loses are " known
good ones" in that district, frequently carrying a brush above
ground, without trying an earth, a distance of twenty miles, and
the hounds, when at Drove, well exercised and in full blood, some
dashing runs are anticipated, which nothing but the setting in of a
hard frost is at all likely to prevent.
Last week Mr. Cay's hounds, of Batesdale Lodge, turned off a
fine buck at Wetberden May Pole Inn, which, after a chase of
four hours, was killed in fine style at the Rev. K B. Barker's,
Breton, at whose house the company partook of an excellent en-
tertainment, and conviviality was held up till a late Your.

1%1 A R Y-LA-BON NE.

This Office was yesterday crowded in an unusual manner, in ex-
pectation of hearing the examination of Ireland, accused of
swindling transactions to an immense amount.
About 11 o'clock Mr. Martin, M.P. accompanied by Captain
entered the office, and soon after Ireland was placed at
the 13.,r. Ile appeared much dejected, and was shabbily dressed.
Mrs. Gravelt was also placed at the bar. The examination then
proceeded, and various charges of swindling were proved; among
others, it appeared, Ireland endeavoured to obtain above £3,000
worth of plate from Mr. Summers, of St. Paul's Church-yard, but
did not succeed. Mr. Martin, M.P. detailed the extent of his
knowledge of the prisoner, whom he knew to have bad in Galway
some marble mines, and thought him in very solvent circumstan-
ces, which caused him to give the reference that got him into Cap-
tain Burton's house. After all the evidence had been gone through,
Mr. Price submitted there was not sufficient evidence to detain
the woman, as no representation had been proved to have been
made by her. This objection gave rise to some conversation of a
very desultory kind, which was ended by the prisoners being again
remanded, to consider whether they showld be committed for a
conspiracy, or whether Ireland should be indicted alone (or a felony?
Mr. RAW LIMON considered his representations in Daniel's ease,
and subsequent conduct, plainly indicated either a fraudulent or
felonious intention.

YOUTH.

How beautiful the scenes of youth
Awaken to the mird!
Scenes, like the summer-ocean smooth,
Serener—fairer far, than Truth
Os earth ►hall ertr find !

Time is a tyrant—months and years
Pass onward like the sea, that laves
A solitary isle, which rears
Its passive bosom, and appears
Between the tolling waves!
In life there is no second Spring—
The past is gone—for ever ne !
We cannot check a moment's wing ;
Pierce thro' futurity, or bring
The heart Its vanish'd woe!

Resplendent as a summer-sky,
When daylight lingers in the West,
To Retrospection's liming eye
The blooming fields of childhood lie,
By Fancy's finger dress !
A greener foliage decks the grove;
A brichter tint pervades the Sower;
More azure seems the Heaven above;
The Earth a very bower of love,
And Man within that bower !
And ever, when the storms of Fate
Come darkening o'er the star of life,
We backward turn to renovate
Our thoughts with freshness, and create
An antidote to strife!
Thus dead and silent are the strings,
As legends say, of Memnon's lyre;
Till from the orient, Phobias flings
His smiles of golden light, and brings
Life, harmony, and fire!

MR. OWi;N.
This distinguished Philanthropist hat resulted to
town from• Scotland, where he stopped but a few days,
on his arrival front America. He breakfasted on Suns
day morning with the London Co-operat.rs' Society,
at their house in Pickett-street, ant gave a most interests
ing account of his proceedings at Harmony. In his
Preparatory Community he has left dine hundred pets
sons; and had, before he came away, applications foe
two hundred families besides, which he was not able as
yet to receive, not having habitations for them.---=
The Members of his 'Preparatory Community have
elected a Committee, which manages the affairs of the
establishment, and is founding different manufactories.
Next year there will be several other communities esra
blished on 4r. Oweres lands, at Harmony. The most
enlightened, as well as the operative and wor king classes
of America, are all falling into the views of ca.opera-
don. Mr. Owen, in his way through Scotland, visited
the Co-operative Establishment at Orbiston, near Glass
Row, which was began in last March, and will be
finished next October, and was highly pleased at the
progress it is making. He intends to return to Ame-
rica in some months, and will probably revisit England
next year.

We noticed a very short tame since the intention
of Government to send out English coin for the purpose
of paying the troops in theserolonies, a large qu intity
of which, we understand, arrived at B tthadoes last
week. The following are extracts from the Ord ..r in
Council for regulating the circulation of pith coin:—
" AT Tilt COURT AT C.AILLTOX ROUST, 2511 MARCH, 1152.5,
" Prapnt, the King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council,
" Wh:reas it has been represented to his Al ajesty at this Bo:1rd,
by the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Trwury, that they
have given directions that his Majesty's troops serving in the several
British colonies and possessions abroad should in certain casts be paid
in British silver and copper money, and that with a view of scout ing
the circulation of such money in those colonies, it would be expe-
dient that an Order in Council should be issued, declaring that its
all those colonies where the Spanish Dollar is now either by taw,
fact, or practice, considered as a legal tender for the discharge of
debts, or where 07e Duties to the Government are rated or col-
lected, or the individuate hive a right to pay in that description of
coin, that a tender and payment of British silver money to the
amount of Four Shillings and Four Pence should be considered as
equivalent to the tender or payment of one Spanish Dollar, and so
iu proportion for any greater or less amount of debt.
His Majesty having taken the said representation into eunsi-
&ration, is pleased, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, to
approve of what is therein proposed, and the Right Honourable
the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury, and the Right
Honourable Earl Bathurst, one of his Majesty's principal Secre-
taries of State, are to give the necessary directions ben,ln as to
them may respectively appertain.

a-zme terms a, lteretornte; that, on the other hand, the Ihanufac.
tures of these States. the Governments of which have not yet
thought fit to recognise their independence, shall pay a double, Or,
according to other accounts, a quadruple import duty.
It is evident that this measure, to be proposed to the antral
Congresses of those States, and the adoption of which will men
with very little dithculty, tends principally to thsedvantage of Ens.
land and the prejudice of France.
On the other hand, hopes are given us of the speedy einwhisicsu
of an advantageous commercial treaty with Spain, by which our
manufactures shall obtain a decided preference over the English...,
It is added, that the negotiation on the subject, which was an.
nouneed some time ago, is •ery much advanced. It is probable,
that the advantage accruing from this, will not be considered as a
compensation for the other.

This forenoon we received Getman Papers to the
17th inst. One of them contains an article from
Bucharest, of the Ist inst. which states that a Russian
Courier, who left Constantinople on the 22d July in
the evening, and passed through that city, relates
that the whole Egyptian army in the interior of. the
Morea is destroyed, and IBRAHIM PACHA himself
taken prisoner by the Greeks. On the same day that
this bad news was received at Constantinople, an Im-
perial Finnan, he said, was published in the Capital,
ordering all persons to refriin from speaking on politi-
cal subjects. The merchants'letters that have been re-
ceived by this opportunity, only say in general terms,
that with the next post a great event will be made
known, which will astonish all Europe. In these quiet
times Europe is, perhaps, more easily astonished than
it was a few years ago, but we anticipate no very great
surprise from this quarter. The defeat and capture of
laminar PACHA is stated in so many quarters that the
report assumes an appearance of truth.
The following are extracts :

tage of his tour to inspect the fortresses of the Nether-
lands, which he is co:nmissioned to do by virtue of the

GENERAL PICTOV.

The trst stone of a monument, near the town of Car-
'marthen, in honour of General Sir Thomas Picton, was
laid on Tuesday last with great pomp. Beneath it went
placed speiimens of all the gold, silver, and copper,
British coins of the present reign, together with the Wa-
terloo Medal of the late Sir Thomas Picton. They were
covered with a plate bearing the following inscription:

This,

Lieutenant-General SIR THOMAS PI CTON,
Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, and of several Foreign Orders,
Who, after serving bis King and Country

ADULTEItATED SUGAR.

Mr. Clarke, of Apothecaries' Hall, in the course 6(
some conversation which he had .yesterday with the
Lord May T upon the subject of the adulteration of
teas, stated what, he said, he thought it important the
Public should be acquainted with. A Lady, who re-
sided, he believed, in Berwick-street, Soho, applied to
Dr. Smokes to analyse same sugar, which she had pur-
chased in the neighbourhood, and the Doctor referred
her to him. She stated, that she was in the habit of
sweetening pies and pudd,ogs with the sugar of which
she produced a sample, and that the children always
fell sick immediately after their meals. She had re-
marked, that it was necessary to use a great quantity of
this sugar before it had any effect upon that with which
it was mixed, and that when the pies or puddings tasted
sweet, they alio tasted salt or brackish. The twang
which this commodity gave to tea was also very ex-
traordinary, and she felt a sickness in her stomach after
taking it. The sugar, nevertheless, was very bright.
Upon analyzing it, be found that it contained about
one half of common salt, which was about a halfpenny
a pound. This ingredient, when applied in great
quantities must excite excessive thirst and fever in chil-
dren, aad could not be very serviceable to grown peo-
ple, putting out of the questiou the immense per cent-
age gained upon the adulteration. The Lord Mayor
said, the publis were certainly indebted to Mr. Clarke
for this intelligence, and would no doubt consider the
obligation increased by the information as to the means
of discovering the adulteration. Mr. Clarke said, a
person had to do no nio:e, to detect the adulteration,
than to put a little of the suspected article into a cup,
and pour a little spirits of wine upon it, when the sugar
would immediately melt, and the salt would remain at
the bottom.

His MAJESTY, after driving about the Great Park
yesterday afternoon, proceeded in his pony phaeton,

and remained at the Castle about half an hour, when he
returned by the same route to the Royal Lodge.

BOW-STREET.

Yesterday morning 19 Individuals, charged with a misdemeanour,
the nature or which decency forbids us to mention, were examined.
They were apprehended on SJr.day night, at about ten o'clock. at
the Earley Now public-house, near Exeter 'Change, by twq of the
Bow-street patrol, who bad received information of their practices.
The neighbourhood of Bow.strect was thronged with persons during
the examination, the particulars of which are of course totally unfit
'for publication. The result was, that seven of tbtm, whose names
are Thomas armee, the landlord of the Barley !Wow, Robert Watson
Armstrong, WiGians WElatiald, Jain Lewis,-.4larander Curia, Zdia
Brady, and Willians Powell, were ordered to find bail, which not
being able to do, they were locked up. It was intended to remove
the prisoners in the new caravan, and as this became known, the
crowd increased round the office till it swelled apparently to thou-
sands. At-half-past two o'clock it had become so great that further
delay was thought unadvisable, and as the caravan was not come,
two hackney coaches were drawn up to the doer, and the prisoners
immediately placed in them, amidst the hooting. and loud execra- '
lions of the assembled multitude. It was with great difficulty that
they were got, without personal injury, down the steps of the office
into the vehicles. When there, every species of obstruction was
offered to their further progress. The horses were forcibly held
back for a considerable time, and the dours of one coach were
several times forced open, and nothing but the exertions of a strong
body of officers preserved the wretched offenders from an immediate
psnislunenG--The coach drove to Clerkenwell prison.

IMPARTS CROWDER, A BANICRUPT.

His LORDSHIP having recapitulated the facts of this
case, said, if the party applying to supersede the com-
mission wished for an issue to try whether there was a
concert between the bankrupt, the petitioning creditor,
and his attorney, to issue a commission of bankruptcy,
he should grant it.
Dir. Kusonv.—We are ready to take such an issue. my Lord.
The LORD CNANCRLLOR.—Then you can have it.
HABEAS CORPHS.IN RE JOHN WELCHMA N.

Mr. PARKER appeared to support the application of
Mr. Welchman, who was brought up by Habeas Corpus,
that he may be discharged from Bristol gaol, to which
he had been committed by the Commissioners of Bank.
rupts, for having refused to answer certain questioni
proposed to him touching the property of his bro-
ther, Henry Welch man, a bankrupt. The Learned
Counsel contended that the ansrer given by Mr. Welch-
, man that the bankrupt had no claim to the money for
which his stock had been purchased by his brother was
sufficient, and that the Commissioners were wrong in
their opinion that he ought to state where he got the
money to purchase his brother's stock.
Mr. Knions having been heard on the other side,
His LORDSHIP said' that without giving any opinion
as to the right of the Commissioners to insist upon an
answer to such a question, under any circumstances,
he was satisfied, that from all that now appeared, the
Commissioners were not at the time justified in com-
mitting Mr. Welchman, and he must therefore be dis-
charged. This decision did not preclude the Commis-
sioners from calling Mr. Welchman before them at a
future time fir examination touching the bankruptcy.
EX-PA ant RI NHS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR—SO many points bad been
introduced by Mr. Sugden into his argument in this
case, that he (the Lord Chancellor) after the best con-
sideration which he could bestow, would not take upon
himself to pronounce a decision, without having pre-
viously obtained the assistance of the Court of King's
Bench ; and in order that no mistake should arise as to
the points upon which he wished to have the opinion of
the Learned Judges of that Coati, he should draw up
the order himself.

The ensuing Term will prciuce several matters of
interest in the Ecclesiastical Court. Preparations are
making in the case of Lo, d Pcvrateourrt to obtain
nullity of marriage, on the ground of lunacy. A Mem-
ber of the Corporation of Lvndon, who some time
since obtained damages, has air commenced proceed-
ings in that Court for a divorce.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Yesterday, Joist Grougt Muirhad, Esq. was brought before Sir
G. Answer and Mr. Cowan, Magistrates, under a serious charge,
which decency forbids us to name. After much investigation, the
charge was sufficiently proved to the satisfaction of the presiding
Magistrates, and the prisoner was fully committed. The offence
being bailable, the prisoner was required to Sod bail hi two sure-
ties to the amount of £5OO each, and himself in .21,000; and there
being two similar offences charged upon him at the same time, the
bail demanded was so high as £4,000. The prisoner stated himself
to be in his 72d year, and hoped the Magistrates would thew some
indulgence, and send him to a prison where he might at least have
tolerable accommodation. The Magistrates said every possible in-

siulgence should be shewn him. -
A medical man attended as his friend, and attributed his conduct
to a kind of fatuity, often attendant upon old age. The prisoner
was then committed. He is supposed to be worth 10,0004
per annum.
HATTON• GARDEN.
A young man, of shabby appearance, who gave his name Thomas
7nnietick Whirs, was brought up in custody upon the following
charge, preferred by Mr. Clemis, assistant to Mr. Ramsey, pawn-
broker, in Liquorpond-street. Gray's Inn-lane W. Mr. Clemis
stated that a few minutes before the prisoner was brought to the
alce, he came into Mr. Ramsey's shop. and offered three books to
, pawn, for the sum of three shillings. The prisoner not giving a sa-
tisfactory account as to how he became possessed of them, Mr.
Ramsey had him taken into custody. The prisoner, when brought
to the office, was immediately recognised by the officers as the young
man who, a few years ago, was cast for death, and in whose favour
so much exertion was made by Alderman Waithman. The prison
Der, when called on to give some account of himself, described hint.
Naito be both a musician and a dancing-master. He taught the
violin, key bugle, and clariouet. In dancing, he has instructed in
Liverpool, Mane:heater, and London. In Manchester he was bal-
let-master and harlequin, at the theatre in Spring-gardens. As to
the books, he knew not how he became possessed of them, as he
purchased them when intoxicated.
Mr. Lawn (the presiding Magistrate).—Pray, what pupils have
you got in Loudon, either for music or dancing?
Prisoner (in a very high tone).—Really, Sir, I must decline an-
swering the question t it would be great indelicacy on my part to
bring the names of my pupils before the public.
Mr. Lasso ordered him to be remanded, to give time for the dis-
covery of the owners of the property.
London, England, 1825-08-23

MARY-LA-BONNE.

*maw Gore, an Irish labourer, was chargea with a brutal as.
sault on Maurice Fitzgtralti, an Mull boy of twelve years of age,
whose arm was broken by the prisoner. The prisoner, in Lis de-
fence, said Thomas Fitzgerald was always upbraiding him with
transactions that had taken place in Ireland, and saying be had been
banished from his own country, which provoked him to commit the
assault.—He was committed fur trial, in default of bail.

Aloud Parker, groom to Colonel Roberts, of Paddington, was
charged with having robbed his muter of various articles of pro.
perry.—Colonel Roberts stated, that having missed books, wine,
itc. and suspecting the prisoner, he went with an officer, and
searched his lodging, where he found his books, and a number of
empty bottles.—The prisoner was conunitted for trial.
