Joshua Smith, a young Englishman, was indicted for
stealing a gold watch, a coat and hat, the property of
1. Farrell. The prisoner came to lodge and board at
Farrell's house; he remained there for thirteen weeks,
made frequent promises, but paid. no money. He said,
repeatedly, he should have plenty of money from Eng.
land, and he wrote several letters to persons in Loudon,
who, in fact, were never in exi.teace, with a view of
lulling the suspicions of Farrell ; at length he escaped
from the house by the chamber window, and took with
him the property in question. The prisoner cross-
examined the witnesses with as much tact, and with as
much power of face as any Lawyer at the Old Bailey
could display :

Hive you not allowed me to wear your hat ? That was before
pa scale my watch.
Hera the prisoner, with a degree of coolness that astonished the
whole Court, turned round to the Jury, and complained of the total
want of candour upon the part of she prosecutor.
Prisoner—Now, I will ask you Another juestion. Upon your
oath, did you not know that my hat was locked up, so-thill, if I went
out at all, I should go out without a hat, or take yowls? Well,
now, suppose I concede that to you., what was your reason for taking
my coat (loud laughter) ?
You are not a candid man ? Candid ! Upon my word, notwith-
standing your misconduct, I have no enmity for you ; and so far
from prosecuting you hard, I wish you were in America, or in some
other place.
Why, then, did you prosecute? Becalm Iwm told by the Jus-
tice that I should not be a fair or lawful man if I did not.

Maynahata vfas dye peat witaiNs. He proee4 that the prisoner
confessed to him the taking of the property, open the understand-
ing that be (Idaynaban) would interfere.to prevent a prosecution.
Judge TOMOS, to the Jury, said, that whatever might be the
°piton of the Jury air to the moral guilt of the prisoner, in point of
law he was entitled to 'violin).

A numerous body of the Shareholders of the above
Company assembled yesterday, at the City of London
Tavern, when a Mr. Vigors, one of the Shareholders,
read to the Meeting a short account of ho!! he. under-
stood the funds of the Company were circumstanced.
It appealed• the amount received as deposits on t3hares,
by Messrs. Fry and Chapman, was 10,81Q1. and by
Messrs. Spooner and Attwood 13,600/.- and that the
Shares allotted to Direct-Ts, Auditors, and other officers,
were to the value of 9,0001. It also appeared that there
was 590/. worth not issued ; consequently the deposits
were not paid on them, making in the whole 40,0004
The actual sum received from the public is 30,4101.
Now, how does this sum seem to be accounted for ? At
the Bankers there appears a balance of 691. 19s. and for
the purchase of the College of Physicisns they were
entitled to credit for 16,8031. Cs. Now, the Share.
holders were anxious to ascertain what b came of
13,5961. 15s. that is. assuming that the purchase of the
College of Phys'cians was made properly, and under
correct delegated huthority. He (Mr. Vigors) consi.
dered oue of the chief objects to which the attention of
the Shareholders ought to be directed was, to inquire
Low the 15,5961. 15s. had been expended. It was ra-
ther a novel circumstance in this concern, that instead
of having a large balance to our credit, the concern was
in debt 2,8921. 12s. 6d. and what formed a portion of
that sum were the following extraordinary items:-
5151. to the builders. 100 guineas for plate, 201. 18s.
to the clock•maker ; even the clerks'_salarres were not
paid-1251. is claimed by them ; nor are the coals paid
for, nnr the share books ; and yet there is due by the
30 Di.ectors the deposits on their Shares, which amount
to 9,0001. However, he should not for the present
couch upon the subject, as it would become a matter
for future consideration.

•
A Suasistounta Wit:it whether, in the £ll,OOO charged for
the purchase of the of Physicians, the builder's present
claim is included I—Mr. woes said, No.
Mr. Vicsoita said, he carne to the Meeting as the
representative of several Shareholders, who held several
thousand Shares; and he thought the best that could
be done was to appoint a Committee, to make arrange-
ments for the calling of i General Meeting of the Share-
holders, to see and prevail on the Directors to come
forward, and give the Shareholders some account of
what became of their property.

Mr. irsooas was then visted.to the Chair, and a Rewinds= was
passed,s giving notice of a Meeting to be convened fora future
day.—Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting
separated.
It was stated at the Meeting, that John Smyth, Esq. M.P. bad
declined acting u a Director, compequently he could not in any way
be Identified with the concerns of the Company.

Letters from Port-au-Prince of Stb of February, say
that several rich inhabitants of that colony have offered
to President Rotas to subscribe tke 120 millions st.ll re.
mining to be paid to France, in order to participate hi
the advantages which must accrue to the lenders.
Advices from Chili uidi the United States, mention
the condition of that Republic to be very unsettled. Ba-
nishments were frequent, and many individuals of in-
fluence had been thrown into prison on a charge of 'ebn-
'piracy. The advices from Arequipa state the dude. to
Ibe the same there as at Lima.
