IKEY SOLOMONS.

The Grand Jury for the City of London completed
their labours by returning four bills for felony against
Isaac Solomon:, the fugitive, who lately escaped from
the turnkeys of Newgate.
The Foreman then said, the Grand Jurors of the
City of London humbly submitted, that the conspicuous
dress (red waistcoats) worn by some police officers,
frustrated the ends of public justice, by causing se-
veral notorious thieves to escape. There was rine more
observation he (the Foreman) had to make the
course of their inquiries it had been elicited, that a
young, and apparently a meritorious officer, named
James, who lives in Shaftesbury-place, Aldersgate-
street, had been tampered with by a senior officer of
St. Luke's, Old-street. who had held out a bribe as ad
induLement, that he (James) should not let his evidence
bear hard against one of the prisoners, whet e he would
be a witness.
Mr. Sergeant ARABIN said, the communication was
a very important one, and it should be forwarded to
the parish officers of St. Luke's.
'Mr. ADOLPHUS (addressing the Foreman) said, that
it appeared the Gentlemen wished to deprive the thieves
of one of their latest and best jokes, for they called the
Bow.street officers scarlet runners—(loud laughter).

.The adjourned meetiog of the Freemen of this bo.
yeses, resident in .Lon, . was held last evening at
Vre Crown and Magpie. Mdgate, to learn Mr. Quintin
tick's determination whether he would stand candidate
Ise its representation, vacantty the death of the Hon.
Mr. Winn.
By eight o'clock about 150 freemen had assembled,
'lnd some time after .Mr. Dick, accompanied by his
younger brother Hugh, Mr. Horace Twiss, and a few
ether friends, entered, and were hailed with cheers.
The Chair was taken by Mr. Broaavi, who read the
enduring to which Mr. Dick had come, drawn ep in
the form of a motion. It was to the effect that Mr.
Thintin Dili being unable to resign the borough of
o;ford, for which he is at present member, offered to
tFie coe,ideration of the electors on the present occasion,
his brother Hugh, and should the freemen decide to
topper him. he (Mr. Q. Dick) was resolved to spare
neither exertion nor legal expense in affurdieg them an
bpportunity of exercising their elective franchise. This
resolution was put to the meeting, and carried una-
birentliii•
bir. Dice addressed the electors.. He regretted that
he could not on the present occasion come forward :1
his engegemehts with the electors who had returned
him to Parliament were such, that he could not,
consistently with those principles of honour which
every Gentleman should maintain inviolate, offer
hinbelf—(Hear, hear, hear I) He could assore them
that his biotber's principles differed in nothing from
his own—they were true bloe--(Cheers). It was not a
desire to advance his family, or gratify an over Ween
ing ambition, that he offered his brother to their notice.
but as a n turn for their unflinching fidelity at the last
election so himself. and because he had heard that the
representation of the borough had been offered to sevez,
rat other Gentlemen it: Es ex; and be wished to pre—

serve his connexion with !bent unbroken—(Applause).
Mr. Hosioca Tarns spoke at considerable length, sad
with much animation.• Though he darted on some
points nom Mr. Dick, still, he hoped the freemen of
'Walston would return a blue candidate for a blue va-
cancy. The principles of the younger Mr. Dick were
exactly similar to- those of his brother, whose undeviating
consi►tency even his opponents must admire. He could
say for Mr. Quintin Dick, that at the nest election he
would come forward in place of his brother as their re-
presentative—(Cheers).
Shortly artier Mr. Dick and his friends left the room,
sad the Meeting separated.

ARCHES' COURT, Nov. 28.
BARRETT V. BARRETT.

This was a cause of separation and divorce, by reason
of cruelty, instituted by the wife against the husband.
Application was made on the part of Mrs. Barrett for
a new citation to be issued against Mr. Barrett, on ac-
count of certain facts tending to establish a case of
adultery against him, and which facts were alleged to
have but very recently come to her knowledge.
Sir Joins NICHOLL held, however, that an additional
citation would be unnecessary, Mr. Barrett having al-
ready appeared in the pending issue; and that it would
rill be competent for the Lady to propound an addi
tional alltgation, or in some other way to set forth the
other facts in question, whereupon the Court would
pronounce on the admissibility or inadm'ssibiky of such
additional plea.

Arnhem and Joseph lan btothers the latter a chimneyswiteper,
were charged with enticing away J. Welsh, aged seven years. The
child was on Friday passing near the Town Hall, when the pri-
soners asked him to go and take mese tea, to which he consented,
and afterwards they induced him to go to Peckham, where they
resided. On Saturday and Sunday they supplied hint with abun-
dance of food, but on Monday they put on him a sweep's garb, and
made him ascend a chimney. Not, however, likidg his new trade, he
in the afternoon ran away, and oa reaching the .Kent-road acci-
bentally met his uncle, who, on hearing his story, conveyed him to
his mother, who was in a frantic state, supposing some fatal wel-
-1 dent had taken place, having in vain inquired at the different watch-
houses, workhouses, Stc.—The prisoners made no defence, but ap-
peared much dejected on being told that their crime subjected the
to transportation.—They were remanded. •

West when be bad got it? He replied, at the St. Katharine's

it. He heard that the other prisoners were in a public.house
opposite, and he went over to them, and brought them to the shop,
and they all admitted that they bad brought the rope front the St.

FOOLISH TEMERITY.

It has been said of Empedoeles, that he plunged into
the crater of Mount Etna, to acquire immortal reputa-
tion, and of Herostratus, that he set fire to the temple
of Ephesus (tom a similar motive. The same principle
of ra,h ambition seems to have influenced a modern
traveller g few years since, who, anxious to acquire
fume, disdained to pursue the common path to glory,
which bad been trodden by vulgar feet. About 200
yards before the land terminates at Cape Cornwall, the
ground rapidly declines, and the Isthmus becomes nar-
row, ire greatest width not exceeding 50 yards. Ap-
proaching this tremendous spot, below which the waves
are about 250 feet, every rider is requested by his guide,
as well as by a common prudence, -to alight and walk
to the awful extremity. But the traveller of whom we
speak, scorning the admonitions of both, spurned on a
valuable and spisised horse to the precipice, which
'commas, mortals scarcely visit on foot without feelings
of dismay. The animal, prior to his descent over the
earrthr batman, wanted him of his .danger by mani-
festing strong symptoms of terror and affright. The
guide in vain attempted to dinnede him front his wild
attempt, and the horse was with much difficulty pushed
forwacd. Aniving near the point, the mingled roar of
the winds and waves, the horrid forms in which the
rocks appeared, tied the wild scenery everywhere exhi-
bited, so terrified the animal that be became ungovern-
able. The Gentleman now began to find that he had
carried his foolish ambition too far. He, therefore,
attempted to regain the ground be bad indiscreetly left;
but on striving to turn the animal round, it snorted,
plunged, :eared, and seemed insensible to everything
but the impression of dread, which was now fully com-
municated to its rider. The horse running backward,
curvetted to the very brink of the precipice, when the'
rider, whose fate depended on the moment, threw him-
seW with desperation *ache ground. The very instant,
the Worse plonged down the precipice, and falling on
the crags below, was dashed to pieces. The rider was
taken. up half stepified with terror, and for a consider-
able time .afterwerds he suffered from the effects of his
contemptible vanity.—Lartsr Gazette.

Posting in Prussia is a Government job, and is in a

par* os through Westphalia and Pomerania, not more
thskt three, without sptings, over the roughest roads.
They sue for the mo,t part ragged, dirty, clumsy care-
vans, and would be deemed disgraceful in this colintry

DREADFUL EXPLOSION.

About eiglat.o'clocic.thip frisrrnipgl the vicinity of Ben
nett's Rents, BloollisbUry, " wsscthrosi7n- into the utmost
alarrn-and affrighiby a loud explosion; which had par-
-tidily the effect of a shock of an earthquake, so violent
and sudden was the noise. The cause of: this was the
explosion, in the fire-work warehouse of a Swiss named
Connod, of a parcel of fire-works, which two men and
a boy, all foreigners, were preparing, and which, it is
said, by some compression ignited, and in in instant
burst in the fearful manner described. The roof of the
building where the process of making the fire-works
was carried on was shaken to atoms ; and as soon
as any person could with safety ascertain the na-
ture of the mischief, the unfortunate men were
discovered to have been seriously injured. The
man, at whose bench the accident occurred, it is
feared will lose his sight, and his features are horribly
lacerated; and one of his hands is shattered in such a
manner, that amputation will be necessary. The boy
has received some severe wounds on the head ; the other
Man is not so much injured. The principal sufferer
was removed to the Hospital. It is a fortunate circum-
stance that the place where this accident aro e is de-
tached from any other building. The consequences of
the explosion are manifest in the immediate vicinity,
from the shattered state of the w indo*s of two or three
houses.

ANECDOTES.

`_

' ,AIIAYON 711;

The poet Campani once asked. his friend Haydn, " How It hap•
pened that his church music was almost always of an animating,
cheerful, and even gay description ?" To this Haydn's answer was,
" I cannot make rt otherwise: I write according to the thoughts
which I feel; when I think upon Goy. my heart is so full of joy,
that the notes dance and leap as it were from my pen ; and since
Goo has given me a cheerful heart, it will be easily forgiven me
that I serve him with a cheerful spirit."

REM LE

Akmanni, who died in the year 1556, chug addresses the Re-
public of Venice—" If thou dolt not become of another mind, thy
freedom, which is already on the wins, will not survive a century
after a thousand years from its birth."

it will be found on examination, that the era of Venetian liberty
may be dated from the year 697, when the brat Doge was e‘ected.
The literary meaning of the Poet's prophecy is, " tby liberty will
not survive above 1100 years;' which time, computed from Wel
first Doge's election, would expire in 1797.
Every one is aware that Venice lust her freedom.in the Sib year
of the French Republic, ur in 1796 ; so that it is scarcely possible
to find and record prophecy more defined in expression, or more
literally accomplished.

style: Dancing commenced with thewt of quadrilles from La Dame
Blanche, which was performed by With. nnnn and his band from

PRIZE WRI FERSHIP 'l'o INDIA.

Mr. C. W. Wynn his given one of the Writerships,
which have devolved upon him as President of the
Board of Controul, as a prize to be contended for by the
boys of Westminster School.
The competitor is to be open to all, whether King's
scholars or town Nis, in the two uplwr for ms, who may
be disposed to enter the lists ; and the boy. who passes the
best examination, is to bear away the prize. The election
will take place in the cour•e of the ensuing week.-1
Dr. Goodenough (the ht ad master of the school), has,
with great propriety, declined to decide on the merits
of the respective candidates; and the examinations are
to be conducted by scholars of eminence, selected from
the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, with whom
the Principal ot the East India College at Hayleyburr
is to be associated. This donation of Mr. Williams
Wynn, will speak for itself—it appears eminently to'
combine gratitude towards the seat of his own educa-
tim and mun:ficence, in the disposal of his patronage,
with very enlarged views of policy towards British India.

DREADItI. VIRE AT SIIEEItgrBS.

Tuesday night last, about nine o'clock, while the 6 e
at Fresh Wharf, Lower Thames-street, was raving rich
all its fury, another fire of an alarming and destructive
description took place in Sheerness. which, it is said,
destroyed more than sixty houses. Various accounts
arrived in London relative to the dreadful calamity,
but no account whatever could be given as to its
origin. The most general and concurring wort is,
that the fire commenced in the wharf of. a Mr.
WALING, of the Blue Town, which, being surrounded
by timber-built houses, was soon destroyed by the flames,
which spread with amazing fury, and communicated
to various other buildings. At one period of the con.
Sagration, the whole town is said to hue been threat.
cued with destruction. Two streets were in a blaze
at the same moment. and the firmament was one
continued sheet of flame, tram the powerful refire,
tion thrown by the raging element towards it.
The inhabitants were in the utmost consternation,
running with their infants and furniture in every di.
rection, in a state of nudity, Several passengers and
coachmen, who were proceeding to London when the
fire was at its height, describe it as one of the most
awfully grand spectacles they ever :witnessed. The
Heavens, in fact, seemed to be in a blaze. The fire
continued burning during the whole of Tuesday night,
when it is said several streets were completely burnt to
the ground. There was by all accounts a plentiful sop.
ply of water. We made strict enquiry in every quarter,
in order to ascertain whether any lives had been lost,
but we did not hear of any such calamity.

IN THE MATTER. OF THE REV. WM. HORNE.

Mr. PHILLIMORI applied on the part of the son-in-
law, the husband of the daughter of this Gentleman,
for the order of the Court to ground a commission of
lunacy. 'ft was made upon the affidavit of Mr. Ste-
phenson, Who stated several circumstances calculated
to induce the belief that the subject of the applica-
tion was not of sound mind, and that he stood in need
of the protection of the Court. He then added, that
he had been prevented from ascertaining that fact in
a manner Avhich would be satisfactory to the Court by
the people who were about Mr. Horne. He had sent
two apothecaries to Normantoo, near Loughborough,
where Mr. Horne lived, but they had not been permit-
ted to see him.

The LORD CHAIIRELLbR said he must have the opi.
nion of a physician before he could grant a commission.

THE EAST GREENWICH FREE SCHOOL.

' Mr. Rosa moved in this matter, that the trustees
should be restrained from disposing of the funds of
this school, and that they should pay them into Court,
to wait the decision of an information filed against
them by the Attorney General, as the relation of a
Mr. Townsend. The affidavits stated, that Mr. Town-
send, being a candidate to fill the office of master of
this school, had been duly elected at a meeting of
the trustees, but that an objection being afterwards
started, that he was a tax collector, and therefore ine-
ligible for the office of a schoolmaster, the trustees
proceeded to another vote, and rescinded his appoint.
ment, although he offered to give up, and had actually
given up, the situation of tax collector. The relator,
thinking that this was illegal as well as unfair; took
possession of the school•house, from which he was for-
cibly ejected by order of the trustees. He then filed
his infatuation, and the present motion was for the
-purpose of obtaining an interlocutory order to prevent
the trustees from paying another master, whom they
had since appointed, out of the trust funds,
Mr. Wusitsit was on the same side.

Mr. Hours objected, that the Court could not make
such an order on this motion as was sought by the re-
lator, because it would have the effect of concluding the
patties' rights, and either put the relator in that office
which they denied he ought to enjoy, or it would deprive
the public of the benefits of the institution, by leaving
it without a master, in consequence of the trustees hav-
ing no means of paying him.
The LORD CHANCELLOR rose before the whole of the
Connsef had been heard, to attend an appointment with
the Master of the Rolls.

WATKINS AMIE MAUL&
The argument in this case was resumed and concldda
ed. The subject in dispute arose in consequence of car-
lain estates and iron works, which had been sold by
auction, not answering the description in the particulars
of sale ender which the purchaser bid for them.
The LORD CHANCELLOR directed a reference to the
Master, to ascertain the difference between the actual
description of the estate, and that in the particulars,
together with the value of the alleged difference, it any
should be found, and with liberty to the Master testate

dent of the Ports, had been current there for some
time previously. This circumstance, so far from cor-
roborating, goes, in our opinion, to invalidate the ru-
mour, as no advices, capable of countenancing it, could
have been received at the time to which the writer
refers. We still look upon it as a specious speculation,
and nothing more:—
" The Papers have announced the project of the
Pacha of Egypt, declaring himself independent. Fur
some time past I have known this information, but for.
certain motives could not send it to you. I expect that
General Levron has proceeded to London ere this,
should the French Government have agreed to the
projects of the Pacha of Egypt. It is looked on as cer-
tain, that the arrival of the combined fleet in the Levant
will be the signal of the independence of Mahomet Ali."
We regret to state, that on account of ill health, Mr.
HIRRIZS, one of the Joint Secretaries of the Treasury,
leaves England the beginning of next week for the Con-
tinent. But we ardently hope, that the sea air and a
milder cliiNte, will soon restore him to sufficient
health and streigtb, to be able to resume those official
duties which he has uniformly discharged with so much
credit to himself and benefit to the public. It is super.
fluous to add, that his reported resignation" is a weitk
invention of the enemy.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, AIIOVIT 1.

Mr. Coe having made an application for leave to vary
the terms of an order of the Court,
The Vica-Csrawcuxon, in granting it. said he would
take that opportunity of repeating what he had before
said on this subject—viz. that in every case where he
found that obstacles had been thrown in the way of the
performance of orders of the Court. and that those ob-
stacles tended to no other purpose than to swell the bills
of costs of solicitors, he would take care to throw the
casts upon the parties with whom the delay originated.
In the present case he should make the party who had
rendered this supplementary order necessary, pay all the
costs of it. His Honour also intimated, that for the
relief of the seitors of tire Court in lessening the enor-
mous expenses to which they were not unfrequently put,
he should state it to the Lord Chancellor as his opinion,
that on taxing bills of costs before the Master, all charges
for supplementary orders should be struck out. He
hoped that he should be able to persuade his Lordship
to give the Masters directions to that effect.

PROM Tug CLAIIENDON PAPBRS.

In the year 1734, I was in company, with Colonel
Scott, at B ulogne-sur-filer, in France,w.lien the Colonel
called me to him, and said, 4, Mr. Browdler, you are a
young min and I am an old one, I will tell you some.
thing worth remembering. When the Duke of Mon-
mouth was in the Tower, under sentence of death, I had
the command of the guard there, and one morning the
Duke desired me to let him have pen, ink, and paper,
for he wanted to write to the King. He wrote a very
long letter, and when he had sealed it, he desired she,
to give him my word of honour that I would carry that
letter to the King, and deliver it into no hands but his.
I told him Lwould most willingly do it if it was in my
power, but that my orders sA ere not to stir from him
till his execution, and, therefore, dared not leave the .
Tower. At ►his he expressed great uneasiness, saying,
he could have depended on my honour; but at length '
ked me if there was any officer in that place en whose •
fidelity I could rely. I told him ;hat Capt. was
one on whom I would willingly confide in any thing on
which my life depended, and more I could not say
of any man. The Duke desired :'te might be called.
When he was come, the Doke told him the affair.
He promised on his word and honour that he.would
deliver the letter to no person whatever, bu: to the Ki.tg
only. Accordingly he went immediately to Court, and
being come near the door of the King's closet, tOnk the
letter out of his pocket to give it to the King. Just then
Lord Sunderland came out of the closet, and teeing him
asked him what he had in his hand? 11e said it was
a letter from the Duke of Monmouth, ts Web he was
going to give to the King. Lord Sunderland said, give
it to me, I will carry it to him. No, my LTA, said the
Captain, I have pawned my honour to the Duke that I
would deliver the letter to no man but the King him-
self. But, said Lord Sunderland, the King is putting
on his shift,-and you cannot be admitted into tbeeloset,
but the door shall stand so far open that you shall see
me give it to him. After many words, Lord Sunder.
land prevailed On the Captain to give him the letter,
and his Lordship went into the closet with it. Alter
the Revolution, Colonel Scott, IA ho followed the fortunes
of King James, going one day to see the King at dinner
at Sr. Germains, in France, the King called him to
.and said, Colonel Scott, ,l have lately heard a. thing
that I want to know from you whether it is true. The
King then related the story, and the Colonel a•su red
him that what his Majesty had been told was exactly
true. Upon which the King then- said, C.. 1 ,nel Scott,
as I am a living man, I never saw that Icter, nor did I
ever hear of it till within these few day'.

The dulness its trade which has thrOugh all expe-
rience connected itself with the present season, ii now
felt as usual. There is nothing unexpected id it, but
the inactivity which is apparent in the manufacturing'
districts, compared with what was the state Of things
a short time ago, hai caused some public writers to
imagine that depression w•as again experienced amongst
them. This, however, is not the case, it appears. Stag-
