DIARY-LA-BONNE.

J,hn Case, a match-vender, who occupies a cellar In Mitcham-
street. Lisson.grove, was charged en Saturday with assaulting and
beating Sarah, his wife.
The old man, who walks with a mop-stick, makes good brim-
stone matches; but certainly bis matrimonial match was badly
made, for he took to himself a wife young enough to be his descen-
dant in the fourth generation.
The young woman complained to Mr. Hoaews and Lard Mom.
FORT of his ill-treatment, in terms the reverse of straight forward,
by declaring that be beat her yesterday, was at it again the day be-
fore, and had always been doing it ever since he married her.
Mr. Hosictiis asked her with surprise—" Do you mean to say you
are married to this old man?'

" I mean to say she is my wife," replied old Cove, interrupting,
" and a bad one she is, for she takes my things away from me."
" I take nothing but my own," answered the young woman ; "you
know that very well—and you know you keep another woman and
starve me."

Whether old Cove was vexed at this disclosure, or whether it
pleased him to have his gallantry made known, did not appear ;
but in pulling up his shirt collar he lost his perpendicular, and dis-
covered to the Magistrates that be had but one leg, such as nature
gave him, the other being made of wood.
" IS it possible," said Lord h10)17/01tT, " that you are really
married t• this old man with one leg?" looking alternately at the
moderately handsome features of the girl, and the immoderately
ugly phis of the old man, ornamented by a beard of six days growth,
like stubble in a white frost. "Is it possible?" repeated his Lord-
ship? In answer to which the young woman replied, that she did
it for the sake of support, and earnestly supplicated the Magistrates
to grant her a divorce. Nor having this iu their power, they at-
tended to her request as far as their ability went, by binding old
Cove to keep the peace, and advising her to keep out of his way ;
and, if be did not maintain her, to apple' to the parish officers, and
they would compel him.
TOWN-HALL

Irns. Laompshire, a mariner, was placed at the bar, on a charge
of robbing John Roberts, mate of the schooner Falmouth, of Fal-
mouth, lying at Hayes' Wharf, of a silver watch, a shin, and silk
handkerchief. The offence was attended with aggravating circum-
stances; the prisoner being out of employ, had wandered the streets
all night, and at seven in the morning went on board the prosecu-
tor's ship, and begged of him, as they had been old shipmates, to
let him rest in his cabin for an hour or so, which was granted, and
he remained there till eleven, and then went away. At seven in
the evening the prosecutor discovered his Ims, and had the prisoner
taken at a !abuse In Bermondsey-street, carousing with several fe.
males. The prisoner stoutly denied all knowledge of the property,
but the Alderman telling him there was very little doubt of his guilt,
committed hint fur further heating, that search might be made fm it.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Awn: Is.

Although yesterday was the last day for hearing
causes in open Court, his Lordship, in pursuance of
notice to that effect, 3,d in compliance with the earnest
request of several Counsel, sat in his private room,
and was there engaged for a few hours.
Mr. MONTAGU' made several motions of an urgent
nature in bankruptcy, but of no public interest. Some
matters in lunacy were also mentioned by Mr. Whit-
marsh, and a few orders were made upon them.
' No judgments were delivered by his Lordship, but
we understood that it was his intention to give judg-
anent; on stated days during the vacation, and due no•
tice would be given to the different part;es concerned.
His Lordship intimated, that next week he would ap-
point a day for the delivery of some judgments. These
will not be given in open Court, and the parties inter-
ested only will have notice of them.
After having disposed of all the applications, his
Lordship lett his private room, and proceeded in his
carriage to hi, country seat.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Aug. 18.

P. Goldsmid, Esq. was opposed, in endeavouring to
obtain his discharge, by Mr. BARRY, for thirteen cre-
ditors, on the ground, that, as he had not accounted, in
his special balance-sheet for the expenditure of the pro-
teeds of his estate, he could not pass the Court. The
CHIEF COMMISSIoNER directed the facts of the whole
case to be inquired into, reserving Mr. Barry's objec-
tion for further consideration. From questions put to the
insolvent, it appealed, that his agents had, in 1824, re-
ceived 18661. out of the Court of Chancery,which was not
accounted for. whereupon the creditors' Counsel raised
another objection to an immediate discharge,urging that
the creditors ought, at all events, to be apprised of the
manner in which these assets had been applied. The
insolvent was ultimately remanded, sine die, to ffle an
agount, and give due notice of his next application.—
e CH= Commtaalowsit said, that there was nothing
proved against the insolvent, which shewed that he had
bees guilty of fraudulently contracting debts, or that
he, (the Chief Commissioner) thought would ultimately
throw any stigma on his character.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

• GUILDHALL.
Ariststrests, a watchmaker, of Liverpool, applied at Guild-
hall on Friday, for a warrant against a watch and clock ma►er, in
order that he might account to tbe Magistrate for having posseedon
of three watches. supposed to have been stolen. Mr. Armstrong
stateikthat on the 10th of March last the warehouse of hiumegand
partner, at Liverpool, was broken into by thieves, who carried off
watches, chronometers, and Materials for watches, of the value of
470 L When 'key Solomon. was apprehended, one of these stolen
watches was found upon his premises, and one of the charge' upon
which he was afterwards committed was for stealing this watch.
He (Mr. Armstrong) having received private information that the
watchmaker had purchased the whole of the watches stolen front
him, went to the shop on Wednesday last, and found thtee watchea,l
which he had every reason to believe were his own. They dM
not finally obtain the search warrant until four tido& in the after-
won of Thursday, although deponent had set out upon the byli-
nes, at eleven in the morning. He then went to the shop and im
<mired fur the watches, but was told that they were sold. Hawkins
and Foster, the Mushalmen, then came in with the warrant, Mt;
the watchmaker was not at home. When they said they were au-
thorised to search the house, the female, who answered them with-
out the least alarm, said they might search if they pleased' When
asked to whom and forhow much the watches had been sold, the
female replied, that was their own business. Not a vestige of do-
peosnesproperty could be found. - - -

Mr. Alwaireong pressed for a warrant foe the watchmaker's ap-
prehension; and it was suggested that the shopman ought to be
detained upon the evidence already given.
Mr. Harmer's Clerk insisted that there was no pretence foi'
charging the abopman with purchasing the watches. The master,
who did make the purchases, surely, could be alone responsible ;
and be begged to ask Mr. Annswoug to explain why he did not
claim the watches at the moment he recognised them to be his own
ProPeny ?
Mr. Armstrong said, be acted under the advice of a police officer.
Sir Jams Panama consuked the City Solicitor, and then declined
granting the warrants, seeming to bold, that Mr. Harmer was
pledged to produce the watchmaker on the day named; but the
sitopman was told he would be required to enter into bins own re-
cognizance for his appearance spits.

Saturday Air. Magnus Jackson, a linendraper, was fined forty.

Mr. Jackson entreated the Magistrate to remit the fine, baying
been confined to his country house at Brampton by illness at the

Mr. Dyes said, the Magistrate bad no discretionary power on
the subject ; and it was well known that the exposure of goods oat-
side the shop afforded great encouragement to thieves, and the
Judges at the Sessions had lately come to the resolution of not
'granting the expenses of any shopkeeper who might be robbed of
hie property in the manner above seated.

Pit entrance, had refused to return him Ms admission money, when,
owing to the crowded state of that part of the hawse, he could not
obtain a sight of the stage. Mr. Robertson said, that it was inva-
riably the practice, when a party could not be accommodated in the
Theatre on his presenting a pass indorsed by the money taker' at
the box 'Mee, on the following morning, to give him an order for
another night, or to return him his money, if such were his wish.
Mr. Robertson added,. that, as an imperfect statement of the Wait
had gone forth, he trusted that publicity would be given
explanation, in Order to Counteract the effects of any prejutithat
might otherwise operate against the interests of the Theatre.

THEATRES.

HAYMARKET.

This Theatre was well attended Tast evening. The
entertainments commenced with the operatic Comedy
of The Ilencontre, in which Miss P. GLosreft again ably
sustained the part of Madame Melville. This WAS suc-
ceeded by the Comedy of inhalation, the character of
Mr. norriagton being sustained fisr the first time by
Mr. FANNIN. Mrs. GLOVIR was the Mrs Deshmore,
but her able delineation of the cluraater was much im-
peded by an annoying c,ugh and hoarseness. Sir
George Faddle and Mrs. Derrington were respectably
performed by VINING and MPS. CLIFFORD.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.
The little musical comedy of Free and Easy was
played, for the second time this season, last &ght.—
Warns' gave to Sir Joh►s Freema►s all that ease and

horrors, and there again Miss KELLY and Miss Gowsitts
stood highly prominent. The latter was rapturously es.
toted in her poison duet.

themselves laudably busy about his Lordship. His.
Royal Highness at the head of our navy could not have
been received with a mote cordial welcome, or treated
with more striking testimonials of respect. His art ival
and intention to honour the Theatre with Isis presence
were announced in the bills—c. uplets were made to
. .

'IIE sting in his praise—and a large party was made to
hail him with " rivets." On Thursday he dined with
General Stubbs, and again appeared at the Opera in
the General's box. This was not, like the former, a
subscription night, and consequently as the Corcundas
would have had to pay for their tickets, they kept away ;
but the reception of the Admiral was equally enthu+i•
astic. After the first act, the Constitutional hymn was
sung, and " rim" were proposed by Gen. Stubbs, the
Governor of the place, to the Charter, to Don Pedro, to
the Regent, and the " generous British nation." The
Editor of the liorboleta (an Oporto Liberal newspaper)
rehearsed from a box a copy of verses which he had made
on the occasion, and the zealous friend of the English
again proposed a viva to the Admiral. In short nothing
could exceed the zeal and liberality of the audience;
but I was sorry to see that the Corcundas having kept
away, the house was rather thinly attended. The Ad-
miral was invited to a grand entertainment by the suer-
chants of the British factory for the following Monday,l
but being obliged to be in Lisbon before the sailing of
the packet, he left Oporto on Friday by the steam boat,
accompanied on board by Admiral Souza and the Bri- ,
tish Consul.

I have mentioned the superior elegance and luxury
of the Opera-house in Oporto. The national drama is
unfortunately not so well treated. The theatre where
Portuguese plays are performed is a half finished build-
ing, without benches, scenery, decorations, or roof.—
Farces and buffoonery are consequently exhibited under
an awning in the day-time. The people of Oporto
should be fond of pantomime, as their patron saint is
St. Pantaloon, who must have been promoted to the
calendar before any thing was known of his pursuit of
Columbine, or his freaks with Harlequin.

The rapidity with which the General Marquis d'An;

not allowed them to send the,details of the, several ac-
tions in which they have routed them: they are flying
towards Galicia in all directions, and part of our troops
ate advancing by Monet° in their pursuit.
The Goiernor of Valence writes from that place on

the bridge of the Prado, retreated to 13arce, and were
there again •beaten with considerable 'loss. They re-
treated sin disorder by the road of Arcos to St. loao de
Longos-Valles, to take, by Magas°, the road to Gali-
cia. Torday the volunteers of the King, Don Pedro IV.
and some Militia, captured two 3-pounders, .9,500
musket cartridges, and all effects, also eleven soldiers
of diffeurat carps, 19 drivers. a woman, and two chil-

pulseda Grierilla party that came from Minecorso, with
the intention of plundering. They took, however, a
Captain of Militia of Francoso, who commanded the
Guerilla, with five of his men ; three were killed, and
the rest fled to Spain, by the road of Truxeneda. Bii-
gadier Jose Correa de Mello writes from Bares, on the
7th instant, that having been:ordered on the .sth by the
Marquis d'Angeja. to attack the bridge of Porto, which
the rebels occupied with 4.00 infantry and two cannon,
the letter fled without waiting fur the attack. The

PERPIGNAN, Avs. to.

The disturbances in Catalonia are becoming more
serious than they were at first supposed. The Bishop
of Gironne, by his Mandeosent of the 14th inst. informs
us that his Excellency, the Captain-General of the'pro-
vince, recommends that they should act in concert by
all the means in their power, to re-establish public tran•
qaillity. In consequence, the Bishop recommends to
his flock to follow the precepts of the Evangelists, and
to give to Gop the things that are GOD'S, and to Cesar
the things that are Cesar's. He then gives them the
following picture of a civil war:—" Now tell me, do'
you know what are the effects of a civil war? Hive
you ever reflected on the miseries, which ate great iek

options mullion flourishes'? It is a violent tor-
rent, which carries us away and buries us in the abyss
of every evil. I cq assure you that your sufferings
in the taut witik the French Republic, in that against
Napoleon, and in that against Liberalism cannot be
compared to what you will suffer by a civil war,
for it breaks asunder all the bonds of society, re
kale,' the passions from all restraints, and, corm-
quently, there is no longer any security, either for
property or person, and all becomes confusion and
horror." It appears that this exhortation has produced
no effect; the bands have increased, and the diligence,
coming from Barcelona, was stopped this morning at
the bridge of Camang, between Figueres and the Per-
thus. The malcontents occupied the heights which
command the road, and two men, armed with muskets,
were detached, one of whom put his musket to the breast
of the Conductor, who put it aside, asking what they
wanted? They asked, was the carriage French or
Spanish f He replied French. They asked for his pass-
ports; he replied that, as Conductor, he had no occa•
sion for any; and that the only traveller he had with
him was a French Officer, who had no need for a pass-'
port to travel. They requested to be allowed to examine
the carriage ; and it appeared that they were seeking for
some particular person, as they expressed discontent at
not finding some one. They then allowed the coach to
proceed. We learn, from Moya, that there has beer a
battle between the King's troops and the malcontenta.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.

A comic piece, in two acts, was produced at this
Theatre last night, under the name of the Two Seconds.
The plot is very simple,and without any pretension to no-
velty, consisting chiefly of the old-fashioned artifice of
a duel, got up by two young empty men of fashion to
gain the hands of two girls of fortune. These girls are
under the guardianship of a silly old fellow named
Clutterbuck, a character which Mr. W. BENNET played
aptly enough. He is bent on forming an alliance for
them with men of wealth and consequence. A gouty
old man, bearing the name of Mulligatawny. who is re-
presented by Mr. MATHEWS, returns, after forty years
absence in India, laden with the spoils of the East, and
bringing in his train ostriches, apes, rattlesnakes, and
other such members of the animal kingdom. Among
these is a s rt of half natural, named Sprat, in the capa
city of a servant, whose part is well performed by Mr.
Kalmar. To this Mullig2tasony, though he seems as un
willing as he is unable to make successful suit, Clutter-
buck,as a matter of course, devotes one of his lovely wards.
A Mr. Timothy Pennyfeather, suddenly transformed
from an usher in a country school, into an Ensign of mi-
I tia. becomes the dear tormentor of the other. To bith
the Ladies, hos% ever, Captain Hastings (Mr. PEARMAN)
and Mr. Mowbray (Mr. BAKER), two young men of
fasliionable follies, are more acceptable. 'The only
obstacle to their immediate happiness are Mulligatawny
a:d Penny feather. To get rid of these, they pretend to
quarrel among themselves, and ultimately involve their
rivals, by taking them as their seconds. Captain Hastings
also takei care in such a crisis to make his last will and
testament, in which he disposes of tens •of thousands
in the new Four per Cents to his relations, and a
large sum to Clutterbuck, as the guardian of his Julia
Clutterbuck, concealed behind the screen, hears this,
will read, and feels a rising regard for the testator.—
As the parties ate going out, they are seized by Out-
skirt, an officer of police, in the hat and costume of
Townshend. In the confusion caused by this surprise, the
fair are found in the possession of the brave—as they al-
ways should be—and the curtain drops. The several per-
formers exerted themselves zealously, but the annuncia-
tion of the Piece for repetition was received by no means
graciously and flatteringly.

MARY-LA-BONNE.

Yesterday Wes. Thorp wu charged before Mr. GIIFIITII with
having game unlawfully in his possession.
R. H. Wall, a constable,informed Mr. Hunan that as be was
coming to the office through Donet-street that morning, he saw the

prisoner with two " common women," and they went-in to a public
house to avoid him. Suspecting something wrong, Wall followed
him, and said," Now, Tborp,it's of no use to abase; I want to see
what you have got in your pocket." "In my pocket!' replied the
prisoner; " why nothing but a pair of birds, and I have a right to
do what I please with them, for they were given to me.—" And
I know what to do with you," rejoined the ofilaer; "it ant
the lst of September yet, so tome along with me." As they
came along Paddington-street, the prisoner wanted WaU to
" pocket the partridges, and make no more bother;" but Wall In-
sisted upon bringing him and the birds (a plump brace, fresh shot,
so they appeared) before the Magistrate.
The prisoner told Mr. Gamer:lt they were sent to him as a pro-
sent by somebody.
Mr. Giurnvis.—Aye; but who is that somebody?
Prisoner.—l can't exactly say; but if you send for Mr. Dyson,
of the Black Bear, in Piccadilly, perhaps he es% for they were left
there for me.

A messenger having been sent to the Black Rear, brought back a
slip 1.1 paper said to have been annexed to the birds, with the ?li-
mner's name written upon it, and no other information.
The statute applicable to this case enacts that no person shall,
span any pretence whatever, take, kill, destroy, carry, sell, buy, or
have in his possession or use, any partridge between the Ist ot.
February and• the Ist of September, or any pheasant between
February the Ist and October Ist yearly, an pain of forfeiting, an
conviction by one witness in any of the Courtrof Record at West-
minster, 6L fur every such partridge or pheasant, with full costs.—
But this not to extend to any pheasant taken in the season allowed
by the Act, and ►ept in any mew or breeding place. And under'
this statute Mr. Gurrrrs held the prisoner in his own recognisance,
to appear when required.

DERBY, Mouse 8.
Thomas Shaw was indicted fur stealing a mare, the
property of Henry Handford, in the parish of Cope, in

nut of the yard in his presence one evening, as usual, in
July last year, that she might go either to water or pas.
t.rre in the field. He saw no more of her for some months
afterwards, when he found her near Asbbourne, in a
close belongieg to a person to whom it appeared the
prisoner had sold her for her full value, in open market,
giving at the same time his true name and place of
abode, which was in the same parish with that of the
.prosecutor. Upon being apprehended, the prisoner
caused the price of the mare to be returned to the per-
son to whom he had sold her. In his defence, he stated
that he had purchased the mare from another person;
but he offered no evidence of that fact. He called one
or two witnesses, however, who gave him a good cha-
The ptchecutor recommended the prisoner to mercy,
on the ground that the prisoner had never done him
any harm before.
Mr. Justice Hot.ttovn told him, if his life were spared,
that was the utmost extent of clemency which he could
hope for, as he should certainly be sent out of the coun-
try' for life.—Judgment of death was then recorded
against him.
The grand Jury presented the County Hall as being
out of repair, and unsuited for public business. This

FRANKFORT, Ave. S.
We learn from Dresden that a rumour circulates
there of the Greek Prince Ypsilanti, known by his long
detention in the Hungarian fortress of Mongats, having
obtained permission from the Cabinet of Petersburgh
to repair to Russia.
Advices from Carlstadt (Croatia) announce that Ab-
durzahman, former Pacha of Belgrade, and now Sera:.
kier of Bosnia, is there, organizing a considerable corps
of troops under the European exercise. It is stated at
Bosno Sarai, the chief place of the Pachalik, that orders
are expected from Constantinople to put the troops on
their march for the right bank of the Danube. It ap-
pears that in Servia, the levy, according to the new
system adopted, by the Grand Seignor, has not operated
successfully. The inhabitants of this province have re-
fused to sacrifice their privileges, according to wh;ch they
are only bound to arm fot the defence of their territory.

PARTS, Amuse T.
The publication of the manifesto of the Ottomi,
Porte has given occasion to the English Journals which
are written under the influence of the Minister, to repel
with vehemence the idea that it was Great Witain or
one of her Ambassadors, either at Verona or Constan-
tinople, who offered the Turks the succour of that Go.
vernment to compel the Greeks to return to the
yoke of the Crescent. France, one of the three
Powers which have participated in the last treaty et
intervention for the cessation of hostilities, is not less if-
retested than England in rejecting the suspicion that
the Mussulman policy is gaining ground on the Chris.
tian States. We hope that the Ministerial Journals
will explain themselves on this point with as muck
dignity and 'rankness as the English Journals. They
are not the Ministers of the Most Christian King who
ought to be behindhand when there is gnestibn of a fait
which interests in so lively a manner religion and hu-
manity. When they want tests for a polemical dis-
cussion they will find the elements in the Turkish mani-
festo. It is a subject upon which they have long ex•
excised their faculty.
