POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MA NSION-HOUSE.

Yesterday morning Mr. Alley appeared before the Loan lloraeos
with Mr. Wilkes witnesses, in order to point out the parties that
ought to be held to hail for the recent alleged riot and forcibly en-
tering Mr. Wilks's house, when after examination his Lordship was
clearly of opinion that De.' Mitchell was not one of the parties, for
Whatever acts he might have done was after Mr. Verbeke had got
possession of the house, &c.
The parties recognised then gave bail.
The LORD MAYOR (addressing himself to Mr. Wilks's party).—
Then, now, I hope, I have done with this business?
Mr. Alley believed he had.
The LORD MAYORl"fhank Goo, I am delivered from the
hands of Messrs. Wilk, and Verbeke"—(Loud itughtto).
PERPETUAL Morton.—A thin dark-eyed person, passed the mid-
dle age, presented himself before the Loan MAYOR with a letter.
The applicant was dressed in a sailor's jacket and trousers, and a
check shirt, which was manifestly the gift of some charity, and had
never been made' for him. The shirt front was open, and disclosed
a meagre frame; and his sharp countenance was one which
bore the appearance of being worn by mental labour rather than
from want of food.—The letter (for he could not speak English)
disclosed that be was the " Signore Dottore Francesco Aleglioli,
Doctor of Criminal Laws, front Modena ;" and the writer of the
letter, the Secretary to the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Dis-
tress,
said that he had left Italy for the purpose of communicating
to the learned in this country (who were the only persons who
could appreciate grand discoveries), the discovery of a perpetual
motion. When he applied for relief he had scarcely a rag to cover
him. The Society humanely offered hint a passage back to Modena,
front which place he had a certificate of his rank and character. He
refused this, as he attached the utmost importance to the discovery
which he imagines he has made. He strenuously pressed for an
introduction to the Chief Magistrate, that through his means be
might be introduced to the Admiralty, or some of the learned
Societies with which this Metropolis is ornamented.
The Loan Mavoa received the unfortunate individual with great
kindness, and promised to have a private interview with the Secre-
tary of the Society of Foreigners in Distress on the subject.

recovery. Nothing can be• better contrived, more safe, or more
convenient than this Remedy, fur such is are obliged to go journies
or to sea, as it needs no confinement nor restraint of Diet; and
sixty years experience (in an extensive practice) has proved that it
will effect a' Cure when repeated Salivation and all other methods

By Letitenant•Colonel Edward Porde°, of the Royal African
Corps, administering the Government of his Ma}esty's Settle-
ments on the Western Coast of Africa, commanding his Ma-
jetty's Troops, &e. &c.

Whereas certain informations having been received
from may neighbouring Chiefs in alliance with Great
Britain, that the King of Ashantee has organised a
strong force to act hostilely against the British territo-
• ries and those of our Allies, and is now within three
days march of Accra, and supposed to meditate an
attack upon that place, and subsequently the rest of the
forts and settlements on the Gold Coast; and as positive
confirmation of the above, the King, or person having
in different skirmishes absolutely engaged our Ally, the
Qieen of Ackim, and, from a preponderating force,
compelled her to retire from her own country to a vil-
lage in the Aqoapim country, called Mampong, within
one day's march of Accra:—
Now therefore know ye, that by virtue of an appoint-
ment to administer the Government of the forts and
settlements on the Gold Coast, and in pursuance of the
authotity, vested in me by the same, to levy, arm, mus-
ter, coinmand, and employ all persons whatsoever re-
siding within the said s ttlements and territories

march them from one place to another, or to embark
them for the resisting and withstanding of all enemies;'
and, if there should Ire occasion, to pursue and prose-1
cu e, in or out of the limits of the said Colony, and to

MEDWAY LIME AND COKE COMPANY.

Yesterday a Meeting of the Shareholders in the
above Company, took place at Batson's Coffee-house,
Cernhill; WILLIAM CLAMS, Esquire, in the Chair.
He stated, that the Meeting had been convened for the
purpose of adopting some plan by which justice should
be done to the unfortunate Shareholders, who had, in
an evil hour, invested their property in this bubble. He
understood that there was one of the Directors present,
who recently came into the Direction, and who would
I give every information in his power. He went into the
history of the Company. (Cheers.)
A Gentleman in the Direction when the prospectus
was under consideration said, that 10,0001. would be a
sufficient capital, but that it was all nonsense to state so
small a sum ; it was not respectable, and would not go
Idown with the public (laughter), who had sbewn such a
willingness to be bled to a greater eztent (laughter); so
that 100,0001. was inserted in the prospectus to work this
L;me Kiln, near Rochester, and if there was not much
lime manufactured, it was quite evident that the share-
holders were well burned. He said, that the Directors
had not yet obtaised an assignment of the property ; he
did not mean to say that the property was not atood
one, but he wanted to shew the Directors had not the
power to forfeit'the shares of the deluded shareholders;
one of whom was a poor footman, who had been in-
duced by the respectability of the Directors to invest his
little savings to the amount of 2001. and had his shares
forfeited, owing to his inability to meet the repeated
calls of the Directors, which now amounted to 201. per
share. He concluded,,by soliciting the shareholders to
adopt some decided flan to recover their property.
Dr. Macaw., Accountant to the Company, said,
that the establishment was conducted upon the most.
economical plan, and had no doubt bat that the shares
would ultimately tern out profitable to the holders.
A Shareholder suggested the propriety of winding up the affairs
of the Compan.
A long conversation ensued. as to the most proper plan to adopt,
when it was finally resolved that the Meeting should be adjourned
until further information should be obtained.
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting
adjourned.

Mr. Omega, from the Treasury, presented an account of the
quantity of Gold and Silver which had been exported from this
country during the last year.
Mr. HUTCHISON. from the Bank of England, presented an Ac-
count respecting the Public Balances.
Mr. Paaituousz presented a lteport of the Carnatic Commis-

A Petition was presented against the Return made fur the County
of Westmeath.

Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a Petition from a
Mr. Thomas Durntord, wine merchant, of the City of
London. The Petitioner stated that some time since,
being incapable of meeting the demands of his creditors,
lie had been made a bankrupt, but he had not, up to the
present time, been able to procure a certificate, because
he could not induce the assignees to hold a final meet-
ting. This circumstance caused him great suffering,
for it prevented him from availing himself cf any oppor-
tunity which might present itself of again entering into
business. A the time of his becoming a bankrupt he
had detivered up the whole of the property he possessed,
still the-assignees would not hold a final meeting. In-
deed, since he was made a bankrupt, some of his friends
had raised a small subscription, and presented him with
2W. to purchase some lew articles of furniture, and the
whole of acne articles bed been seized by order of the
assignees. The Petitioner thought the case extremely
bald, and prayed that the House would make such an alteration in
the taw as uould prevent any other individual in future from suffer.
lug under similar circumstances. The Hon. Member assured the
House that he had known the Petitioner and his family for a
great number of years, and could answer for his respectability and
integrity.
Mr. Alderman THONIPSON also bore testimony of the re-
spectability of the Petitioner.

The total importation of cotton into the United
dnm, up to the present period, exhibits a deficiency if
about 210.000 bags, as compared with that of the same
period last year —but,. in the first eleven months of
1824, the quantity brought to this country was abort
50,000 bags less than in the present year; so tha:, ad.
mitting the year 1825 to have been one of excessive irr.
portation, it does not appear that the decrease in the c, n.
sumption has been so considerable as might be supposed.

Sir HENRY PARNELL presented a Petition from
the Roman Cathol c, inhabitants of Queen's County,
playing for a repeal of the disabilities under which
they suffered. tie would tar the liberty of reading one
sentence of the Paition to the House, and they would
at once be able to rightly appreciate the feeling which
dictated the whole. The Petitit.neis begged to assure
the House that they did not yield to any class of tat iti.b
subjects in a sincete attachment to their gracious So-
vereign, and a tired reverence for his person, his office,
rind the Constitution of the country. He (Sir H. P.)
could undertake from the expel ience he bad had of the retitionen to
•ouch for the sincerity with which the assertion was nude. lie
would not then ehter into the subject, as the question was to be
'nought tot ward aft, r the vacation; but when it was discussed, he
certainty 6huuld nut shtick from taking his part, and enforcing the
of the Rowan Catholics in the strongest language he was
master of.

Air. H. GRATTAN presented a similar Petition from
the Roman Catholic inhabitants of the palish of Gra-
rood, County of Lo:rglord. It had been assented by
bo.i,e who Mete adverse to the granting of the prayer of
the Petition, that the Roman Catholics were desirous to
see the Act of Scutt ment destroyed. Than such an ak
&mon, nothing could be more unjust. The very land
which he was possessed tit had tornerly been held b)
Mre ancistor s tit the Teti inners, and he declared ino.t
nuuusly, that it ever SUkb a thing as the repeal
of that law should take place, he bil()Uld .00k with per-
fect confidenCe to such men as the Petitioners for l.ro•
tection. His Majesty's Ministers had expressed it to
be their intention nut to act upon the question, and
from whet had been already said, he feared that the
proceedings of that House atter 'the vacation would

produce but a miserable result for Ireland. There was
but one thing which could restore that distracted coun-
try to any, thing like prosperity, and that was the grants
ing of the prayer of the Petitioners. It was idle to ialk
of the measures of Government having any good effect.
It was impossible that they could have any. The Lord
Lieutenant was of one opinion, and the Secretary was
of another; the Lord Chancellor had one opinion, and
the Attorney-General had another:, Under such cir-
cumstances it was in vain to hope for improvement. It
was the I.yalty of the Roman Catholics alone that pre•
served Ireland to this country, and not the forty thou-
,and soldiers, and six thousand police spies, which in-
fested that country. It was high time that the oppressed Roman
Catholics were relieved, and he begged the House by performing
that act of justice to comply with the request of the Peitioners.—
They said, " We implore your Honourable House to grant peace
and happiness to this distracted ceuntly." Ordered to be printed.

FRANKFORT, Noinms 27.
The late rise in the prices of corn in the Dutch sea-
ports, where wheat especially has risen from fifteen to
twenty florins per last, in consequence of the recent
favourable accounts from the English market, have also
caused a considerable advance here and at Mayence.—

On wheat, rye, and barley, it is about thirty kreuzers
per quarter, and on oats from fifteen to twenty kreuzers.
The demand for colonial produce, especially sugar, is
considerable in our market. Last week there were ex
tensive sales, chiefly of loaves, of which the ordinary
sorts were sold from 12 to 22i rix dollars ; the finer
sorts 23 to 23i rix dollars. Fine Hamburgh two rix
dollars higher. Something has been doing in Indigo,
and G florins has been given for Bengal.
There are buyers of fine Royal Cotton at 25 rix dol-
lars, and fine Georgia may be had at 32 rix dollars.—
According to the accounts from America a fall is not to
be expected, as well because the produce of preced-
ing years has been almost all sent to Europe, as because
frequent rains in September had mach lessened the ex-
pectations of the new crop.

YIRI INSVRANCIG

Alderman THOMPSON presented a Petition from
the Royal Exchange and Sun Fire Insurance Compa-
nice, praying for a reduction of the duty on policies.—
The petitioners stated, that while their highest rate of
charge was ls. 6d. per cent. the Government duty was
Ss. and that in consequence of this high duty, but ls.6d.
in 1782, raised twice during the war, and not reduced
since the peace, the business of fire insurance was much
injured. They also stated, that if that duty of Sc. were
reduced one half, or even two thirds, the revenue
would be, so fat from injured, considerably iniproved,
as many, who ate deterred by the present high duty
from insuring their property, would do so then; so that
the quantity of business would make up for the dimi-
nution of the rate. This would be particularly the case
with the middling classes, and the owners of small pro-
perties. He fully concurred with the sentiments of the
petitioners. As he was on the subject, he would suggest
the importance and necessity of a total revival of the
present system of commercial stamp duties; they were
now so high in thin country, as seriously to affect its
trade, and, unless reduced, would be ruinous to one
branch of our commerce. Formerly, all the merchandise of the
world was insured in London; but now, in cbnseciaencs of our
high policy duties, even British merchandise was insured in foreign
countries, where there was no policy duty. This was a notorious
fact that came under his daily observation, and in itself forcibly
suggested to the Government the necessity of revising these duties.
Mr. BERNAL hoped the Hon. Alderman would
font's,/ up his able statement by some measure that
might give commerce relief from the present high
policy dudes (five shillings per cent.) which were actually a tax
upon Paovinerice and discretion and which bore so particularly
upon the industrious poor and middling classes.
Mr.WA It BURTON considered the law required revision, were
it only from the severity with which it bore upon the shipping in-
terest of the country.
Alderman THOMPSON said, that he awaited the
result of a negotiation now pending between the Mer-
chants of London and the Government, on the subject
of Marine Policies, before he proposed. any measure to the effect of
the Petition. After a few words in support of the Petition from
Alderman Waitbman, it was ordered to be printed.

PORTUGAL AND SPAIN.

Sir ROBERT WILSON said, that understanding the
Right Hun. Secretary fur Foreign Affairs would, in all
probability, he suffic;ently recovered from indisposition
to attend the House on Tuesday next, begged to give notice that
he should on that day move for the production of ceitain papers,
respecting particular transactions which had recently taken place on
the Tagus, and in Portugal.

EMIGRATION.

Mr. wiLmoy HORTON apprehending that the
Hon. Baronet opposite (Sir James Graham) had not
rightly understood what he had stated last nign, beg-
ged to read to that Hon. Baronet a copy of the letter
which had been sent from the Colonial Office to the
Gentlemen who had been deputed to wait on his Ma.
jesty's Government by the Emigration Society in Scot-
land—(The Hon. Member read the lever, which stated
that no other answer could be returned than the one already given).
The answer alluded to was a printed circular,which certainly could
not fairly bear the construction which bad been put cn it. He was
not aware that any encouragement had been given; but the case
could, if necessary, be again brought under the consideration of the
Committee in February nest.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM must confess he did not
agree with the Hon. Secretary, for although that Hon.
Gent. had not given the Editor of the Glasgow Paper
sufficient. encouragement .to entitle him to make the
report, he did to a meeting of the Glasgow Society;
still he was of opinion that some influential Member of
his Majesty's Government had done so. With respect
to the case being brought before the Committee in Fe-
bruary, he feared that before that month the opportunity for effect-
ing any good in this particular instance would have passed away.
The Honourable Baronet read the Report which had been made
to the Glasgow Emigration Society, and declared his opinion to be
unchanged. - - -

Mr. S. RICE, moved for returns of the quantity of
Coal, Coke, and Cinders imported into Ireland during
the last year. Also, a copy of the Memorial addressed

back duty on exported whiskey. Also, returns of the payment to

Mr. HUME gave notice of a motion for Monday, for returns of
the income and expenditure of the Colonies. The lion. Member

• .• POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
M ANSION-HOUSE.
RAO Di LA PLATA Assoctaytost.—Mr. Cotterell preferred a com-
plaint against three of the Trustees of the above Association, on the
ground of an alleged breach of contract
He stated that in 182.5 he had embarked for their settlements at
Entre Rios as an independent settler' and paid for his own and his
son's passage; that on arriving at Ensenada all provisions and ac-
commodations were denied to them ; that he had never seen an inch
of land belonging to the Company, and did not believe that they
possessed any; and that the 400 or 500 unfortunate persons who
had gone there as settlers, had been obliged to sell themselves as
slaves to Buenos Ayres proprietors, to procure the means of sub-
sistence. He had paid 175/. to the Agent in England for 200 acres
of that promised land, and together with his passage money, and that
for his sun and brother, property to the amount of 5001. or 6001.
had disappeared, and no satisfaction had been made.
Mr. Peaks', Agent for the Association in this country, positively
denied Mr. Cotterell's assertions. When that Gentleman arrived
in the river Plate the blockade had commenced, and it was impos-
sible to convey him or the other settlers come at the same time to
the Settlements of the Association, without danger of being taken
by the Brazilian squadron. Hence until they could be passed up,
the poorer settlers hired themselves for employment to Buenos
Ayres Proprietors, and Mr. Cotterell having come as an independent
settler, was left to himself to act as he thought proper, and had pre-
ferred returning home and receiving 451. as part of his deposit on
his share in the Association, to staying in South America and claim-
ing the advantages offered n the settlements of the Association,
which Mr. Peake declared to consist of thousands of acres.

The Lotto blavoa said, that there was no proof of bad intention
on the part of the Trustees, and dismissed the complaint.
Two young men, the one named Lathan, who was in the em-
ployment of Mr. Warner, of Rood lane, the other a clerk in a pub-
1k office, were brought before the Loan Maros, the first charged
with having embezzled the sum of 7.501. and the ether for aiding
and abetting him.—The prisoners were remanded.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Alamtder Watt and Jana Drummaul were brought up at the
instance of the Mendicity Society, charged with hvgging in the
streets.—lt was proved that both the priioners were in the habit of
soliciting public alms. Watt was formerly in the army, from which
he had deserted, and of late years was constantly annoying the
Governor of Chelsea Hospital, by his application for a pension, to
which he was by no means entitled. He wrote a threatening letter
to the Governor sr the above establishment, and stated in it, that he
would never go to his grave till he had revenge on the person who
prevented him from obtaining a pension !_

• Watt, in answer to the Magistrate, said that h e WAS obliged to
beg, as be had no pension. With respect to the charge of desertinr,
that could not be true, as he was " in the same King's service all The
time." He merely quitted the Army for the Navy, and wcnt uu
board the Indefatigable.
_ _ _

The other prisoner Drummond, who has a pension of 6d. a day,
admitted having received charity in the streets, but he said it was
very difficult for him to live on the above allowance, as " he was
obliged to pay is. Bd. a year out of it for the wooden legs of the
Duke of York's school."

Both the prisoners were committed to the House of Correction
fur one month.

MARY-LA-BONNE.

Mtn Joseph was charged with endeavouring to cheat a coachman
of his fare. He took him up with two Ladies, in Piccadilly, at le.
o'clock on Sunday night, and when they got out, in Che.terlield-
street, May Fair, neither of the party could, or would, pay the fare.
in reply to questions from the Magistrate, he adinittEd he was a
married man, kept a house, and knew not who the Ladies were.

. .
Mr. RAWLINSOM threatened to commit him if he did not forth-
with satisfy the coachman, which he effected by giving up several
duplicates.
&mud Darby, a hackney-coachman, was committed to the Tread-
mill for a month. for defrauding his master of his earnings, and
damaging the coach, by driving it over the posts, in Trinity square.

CORONER'S INQUESTS.

An inquest was held at the Westminster Infirmary,
on the body of J. Dye, aged 23, who died in conse-
quence of filling from a scaffold at tire north wing of
his Majesty's Palace now building, at wh;th he was em-
played * a bricklayer. Verdict, Accidental death.
Another Inquest was held at the 'turf Tap, on the
body of R. Spooner, who lost his life by descending a
well, which he was employed to dig on the premises of
the Earl of Belmore. The deceased had been employed
about a month in increasing its depth, which was about
140 feet. It had been customary to lower a candle
previous to descending, which was done on Monday
morning, when it was extinguished on reaching about
half way; nevertheless, the deceased eentured; and, on
reaching the platform, he said, through the speaking
tube,•' All's right ;" but soon after called for help, when
his brother descended, and brought him up thirty feet ;
but he was so much exhausted as to be compelled to
let him go, and was himself drawn up in a state of in-
sensib;litya On further application, the unfortunate de-
ceased was found to be suffocated. The Jury, after ex-
pressing a hope that his Lordship would desist from fur-
ther experiments, returned a verdict, Accidental death.
A third Inquest was held, on Tuesday evening, on
the body of John Ta) lor, who died, as was alleged, in
consequence of being bit by a dog on the 2d of August.
Tne wound, it appeared, inflamed, and ultimately be-
came gangrenous; in this state he was admitted as a
patient in the London Hospital. Amputation was per-
formed on Saturday last, and the unfortunate man ex-
pired on Monday.
After a great deal of desultory conversation, in which
there appeared considerable discrepancy of opinion as to
the cause of the deceased's death, whether arising from
the bite, or the delay in amputation, the Coroner de-
sired the Foreman to bring the question to issue by a
shew of hands, which being done, and there appearing
a majority in favour of the former, a verdict of "Died
by the bite of a dog," was recorded.

The question or Deodand was next to be determined
on. A letter was handed in by a person present, ex-
pressing a hope that such a sum would be imposed, as
would either lead to the destruction of the ferocious
animal, or teach its master that he could not with im-
punity permit it to roam about endangering the lives
of his Majesty's subjects.

.
The Coßoweß observed, that the law of Deodand was not appli-
cable to the canine speties, and, consequently, he could not comply
with the request. He would, however, give directions to the Beadle
to call on the owner, and see that the animal was destroyed.

EXPLOSION OF A POWDER MAGAZINE.

Extract of a letter dated asiend, September 20, re-
ceived at Lloyd's this morning :—" Yesterday morn.
ing, about ten o'clock, a powder magazine, nearly a
quarter of a mile to the south of this place, blew up
with a tremendous explosion. It consisted of 1263 bar-
rels of powder, each barrel wiping 50 .kilogramei—
the whole rather better that, 60 tons E9glish. The town
is dreadful to look at ; the roofs, doors, windows, &c.
are, more or less, shattered to pieces. Several soldiers
wrre killed, and others severely rounded. The maga-
zine was a fine building, and took nearly four millroos
of bricks to erect it, the whole (.1 which passed the town
in an easterly direction. The immense large roofs of
the t a.° new bomb-proof barracks, near the spot, are all
fallen to the ground. There is nothing to be seen of
the magazine but an immense large pit."

CONFLICT AT TUC NCHANICS' INS TITC TIOIL•••=r011F journeymen
mechanics, named Jeremiah Stangrove, senior, J seave;ropec jun.
Samuel Harding, and 2'honias Smith, appeated before the 31agis.'
Crates, in order to charge each other with assaults, &c. It appeared
that, on Monday last, the room, attached to the Mechat:ics' Insti. •
totion, in Southampton-buildings, was hired for a Nleerisig of the
Ladies' Shoemakers' Society, of which Harding and Smith are'
Members. The Stangrover are also Ladies' Shoemakers; but
they had given great offence by working " under price;" and wire:,
consequently, denominated " Scabs," and excluded the Socley.--:-
The Stangroves lived next door to the house in which the lug iu:
tion is held. Some children had collected on Mhilday evening, on
the steps of the house, amongst whotri *as a child of Stangrove's,
and the doorkeeper for the night, a man named Hart, drove them
away. From this circutiastance, the quarrel originated. Tre
younger Stangrote went into the house, and came out again in a•
few minutes, brandishing a red hot poker, with which he attempted
to strike. Harding (who had come out foe the purpose of ascertain.
Mg the cause of the dis:urbance), but he, fortunately, caught it with
his hand, which it burnt severely. Another man came out of
Stangrove's house, armed with a large knife, exclaiming "that he
would rip up anybody." Several persons now came out of the Li.
stitution, and succeeded in quelling the disturbance.
Mr. Serjeant Sm.r.ox, after hearing their conflicting statements,
ordered them to go aside, and settle the affair, with the exception
of the younger Stangrove, who was ordered to find bail, fur his vio-
lent conduct in brandishing the poker.

MR. LIPSCOMBES MATCH.

This match, for 200 sovereigns, was completed yesterday, with
considerable time to spare. The match was to ride eight horses
eighty-two miles in four hours and a half. The first horse did ten
miles to Barnet in thirty-four minutes and a few seconds; the se-
cond horse reached Hatfield, the other ten miles, in thirty-five mi-
nutes; the third went eight miles to Woolmer Green, in twenty-
five minutes; the fourth did to Baldock, ten miles, in twenty-four
minutes; the fifth reached Girford, eleven miles, in thirty-four mi-
nutes; the sixth went to Bugden, twelve miles, in thirty-seven mi-
nutes. Three hours and nineteen minutes it took to do the sixty-
one miles, and Mr. Lipscombe rode the other two horses in leisurely,
and won by a quarter of an hour.

Maims DAVIE.% one of FOOTE'S hutto in ordinary,
dining with him one day at North•end, observed, that
.‘ well as he lo•ed porter, he could never drink it without
a heed." " That must be a mistake, Dibble," returned
his host, " as you have done so, to my knowledge,
above these twenty years."
