SPORTS AT WINDSOR.

The annual revel of the Bachelors of Windsor, in honour of his
Maassry's Birth •day,was unTeesday attended by a great number of
spectators. The day was uncommonly fine, and the different prizes,
given as rewards for the various sports, were ably contested. At
nine o'clock a Royal salute was fired, after which lads under fifteen
years °Page played at cricket-rat the conclusion of the game, they
partoot of a substantial dinner, provided for them in marquees
erected in the Acre. 13ack.swording, wrestling, jingling, and gra-
tesque amusements, succeeded until evening, wino a brilliant dis-
play of fireworks, under the direction of Mr. Southby, terminated
the festivities of the day.
TROTTING.

Mr. Harrowby, of Leads; rhead nok, on Monday, to ride
his galloway, 28 miles in two hoots, upon the trot. The ground
selected was five miles on the Epsom road, sad the hones performed
half the distance in two minutes within an Isom The whole was
completed in ens minute within time. The walkway tarried list.

The Hamhurgh Papers of the Bth of August state
that ample contributions continue to be received for
the suffering Greeks, so that a second remittance of
40.000 rix dollars will soon be sent to M. EINAID. M.
EYNARD feels highly fl Apred by the honour done hint
by the Society here in confiding to him the ca►e of
sending the Prussian contributions to Greece. He has
become member of the Berlin Society, and as such sub-
sctibed a large sum.
The following circumstance occurred during a trial
at the late Hereford Assizes, highly illustrative of that unutterable
repugnance which, on that Circuit, Welsh witnesses have to give
evidence in English:—Lewis Williams. a wimees of this description,
being put into the hoe, was asked," How old are you?" Witness—
" You most speak it in Webb." This was a poser for the Learned
Counsel who put the question, fork was completely out aids lati-
tude. The question was repeated over and over again, but no answer
could be obtained, u the witness " stood mute by the visitation of
Welsh." Mr. Justice Butanntall, by a little nut de k lei, obtained the
desired object. The Judge—" Don't you understand English?" Wit-
ness—" No, I don't understand it at all"—(laughter). " No ! where
did you come from?" Witness--" From Merionethshire, my
Lord." The Judge—" Do you intend to go home by the same road
as you came r Witness—" Yes, to be sure I do, my Lord"—
(laughter). The Judge—" Come. I think you will do; how many
brothers and sisters have you r Witneas—to Four brothers and five
sisters"—(laughter). The Judge—" That is very good English.
Now you are sworn, and you must go on, and speak the truth." The
case then proceeded.

LANCASTER—TUESDAY Nzo HT.

After the argument yesterday, which terminated in
allowing Edward Gibbon Wakefield to traverse, be was
admitted to plead to the indictments. To the charges of
misdemeanour and conspiracy he pleaded " Not Guilty."
He was then admitted to ball, Mr. Williams for the prosecution
having first applied to the Court that the parties should give twenty-
four hours' notice of bail, which was refused. Dr. Davis, whose
daughter is married to the father of Wakefield, and Mr. Wakefield,
the Chancery Barrister, wesQ'then both tendered. The bail re-
quired was K. G. Wakefield himself in 2,5001. and two good sure-
ties in 1,2.501. each. Mr. Williams wished for time to inquire into
the solvency of the sureties, but Mr. Justice Park observed, that
the best mode would be to swear the persons themselves. Dr. Davis
and Mr. Wakefield were then sworn, and examined by Mr. Williams.
Dr. Davis said his property consisted chiefly in land. lie had one
farm, a new purchase, on which there was a mortgage, but that
was the only incumbrance upon Lis propert,t, which amounted close
upon 2,0001. a year. Mr. Wakefield said Le had Chambers worth
2001. a year, and a house which be had lately built in Berkshire
worth 3,0001. besides his library. Mr. Justice Park thought this
sufficient, and E. G. Wakefield was soon after liberated. Mts.
Frances Wakefield, the mother-in-law of the defendants, and
daughter of Di. Davis, appeared, and pleaded Not Guilty to the
charge of conspiracy. E. G. Wakefield was also bound over to
keep the peace towards Mr. Turner and Ms farnUy.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.
Therms Annie was charged before MR Loam Maros, With having
fraudulently obtained a bill of exchange from John Thomson. The
prosecutor, who is a poor illiterate baker, deposed, that the defend.
ant came to him to sell bim some Sour, and got two bills from him.
on the pretence that the Sour should fallow immediately, but it
newer cause, and the prosecutor was arrested fur the amount,
thrown into prison and compelletrto take the benefit of the Inuit-
, vent Act. One of bills was drawn by him en the 17th April,
and the defendant bad altered it to the 27th of May.
The Chief Clerk said, this was a forgery. The alteration was
palpable.
The prisoner Annis said, the bills were given him in discharge of
an old debt, due to him by the prosecutor. The latter, when it
became due, requested further time, and be had Made the alteration
at his request.
The prosecutor solemnly declared that be had never given any
such authority to the prisoner.
The Loan Maroa asked a Gentleman, who attended as Solicitor
for the prosecutor, what object the prisoner could attain by the
alteration ?

The a,licitor said, that at the time the prisoner got the bill dis-
counted, it bad but a few' days to run; and in order to get the
money upon it, and other circumstances, rendered the alteration
desirable tb him.
The LORE MAYOR remanded the prisoner on the charge of forgery.
Tats THAMES FISHERY. —John Deer and Wm, Haywood were
charged with having used unlawful nets.
Rough, the Assistant Water Bailiff, deposed that he had found
the prisoners at work near Fulham Bridge, about two o'clock in
tb. morning. They bad got inside of the stakes which the Gentle-
men Anglers had fixed in that part of the river for the protection
of the brood of fish. Their mode of catching the fish was by dis:
turbing them with long poles from under the arches, and the holes
in which they took shelter—chains were attached to these poles,
which made a great noise.
The LONE MAYOR condemned their nets.
The Chief Clerk announced, as a symptom of increasing pifty
amongst thieves, that several of the testaments used in the Justice-
room, for the purpose of administering the oath, had been stolen.
It could hardly be said, he presumed, that they had been stolen fot
the purpose of profit, since they were so worn and dirty as not to
be even of the value of Waste paper.

FRENCH PAPERS.

The Etoiles of Friday and Saturday state that the
copy of the Treaty between France and Brazil, pub-
lished on Thursday, having been translated from a Pop.
tuguese Gazette, contained some expressions which were
not in the original. It was not, in consequence. to be
given in the Moniteur till the arrival of M. de Chabrol
from Rio Janeiro, with the authentic document, should
ensure a correct insertion. The Drapean Blanc and other
Papers having asserted that Ferdinand had changed his
Ministers, with the exception of the Duke de Plnfan-
tado, the E.toile contradicts the rumour, as to the indi
viduals mentioned, but seems to allow that some altera-
tions had been made in the Spanish Cabinet. It also
denies the existence of a conspiracy said to have been
discovered by Mr. Recacho (the Minister of Police,)
the object of which was to prevent the King's return to
Huh id. The intelligence from Constantinople is of an
older date than that brought by the Allgentehte Zeitung,
but an article from Metelia says, that the Turks were
masters of the oink country in Western Greece, and

With this solemn appeal to the ALMIGHTY, he should
leave his case to GOD, his Lordship, and to the Jury.—
Tbey bad no witnesses to produce, arthey had not had
the means of procuring their attendance.
The prisoset's master was clear and collected, and be spoke
with apparent sincerity.
The Jury being about .to retire, Michael M•Keand
again addressed them, repenting his former defence, and
adding, that he had repeatedly slept where large sums
of money were kept, without incurring suspicion.- Had
he had means of procuring evidence, he could prove that
he had not been intoxicated but twice since he had left
home, a period of ‘is years. He begged the Jury not
to be prejudiced by the false statements that had ap-
peared in the newspapers.
Mr. Justin PA ltx said, that be was igtorant of any thing that had
appeared upon the subject in the newspapers; he was sure the Jury
would decide the case strictly upon the evidence.

FRENCH VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY.
_...,......

The French frigate Thetis, and the Esperance cor-
vette, commanded by Baron Bougainville and M. Du-
camper, have arrived at Brest after a voyage of twenty-
eight months. The Thetis sailed from Brest 2d March
1824, and joined the Esperance on the 19th May fol-
lowing in the harbour of Bourbon. M. de Bougainville
witnessed at Macao the burning of the convent of St.
Claire, the nuns of which were so earnest in remain-
ing faithful in their vows, that one of them was
burnt, and in order to save the &hers froth the same
fate, the priest of a neighbouring parish was obliged
to seine in their presence an image of the Virgin,
and to call on them in the name of the Virgin to
follow him. In Cochin China the Emperor caused the
,French Captains to be assured that the French com-
merce should always be favoured in his dominions. In
the beginning of March, 1825, the vessels discovered in
the Anathbas a magnificent basin, to which M. de
Bougainville gave the name of Clermont Tonnerre. On
the Ist of July they anchored at Sydney, in New Hol-
land, and in an excursion which the two Captains made
with the Governor, SirThonsas Brisbane, they discovered
a cataract, the fall of which is 1400 feet, to which Sir
Thomas had the politeness to give the name Bougain-
ville. The French Officers were also indebted to his
complaisance for being able to erect a monument to the
'mina:cal La Perouse on the sea shore, oft the spot where
:she illustridus Navigator was encamped in the last place
where we know of his having stopped.

we were at liberty to discharge the debt contracted with
them, at any period upon our giving six months' notice
of our intention so to do ; and that the Bank had signi.
Bed their willingness to accept the repayment of their
Ivan upon the same terms. After a communication,
therefore, between the Chancellor of the Exchequer and
the First Commissioner of this Board, as to the
.expe-'
diencv of discharging these monies, an application was
submitted to, and
,sanctioned by, Parliament, in the
Session of 1824, for granting to us the sum of 400,0001.

for authorizing us to sell the sum of 168.9601. 6s. 11d.

from the Governor and Company of the Bank of Eng-
land was repaid on the 6th of September, 1824, asd
the loan from the Royal Exchange Assurance Company
on the 12th of January, 1825.
The whole of this Improvement being now cqm-

IMPORTATION OF SILL.

Sir T. LETHBRIDGE presented a Petition from two indivi-
duals, Silk Throwsters' against the importation of French Silks.
Mr. ROBERTSON said, that a protecting duty of
thirty per sent. for the Si k Trade was quite inefficacious.
French wrought silks could be had at a cheaper rate
than the English manufacturer could provide the raw
mattrial to put ioto his loom. The late measures would
destroy a trade which we had brought to great perfec-
tion. Tne French wete beyond the reach of our com•
petition, and their msdufactutes would surely be sought
after and exclusively employed by people of fashion in England.
The French had no heavy debt to burthen them, and how could
England hopeto get out of difficulties, if there were no excitement
for the industry of her population ?
The Petition was read and laid on the table.
Mr. DENISON moved that certain Noblemen should
be requested to attend at the bar of the Nouse, whose evidence
was deemed necessary to the defence of Mr. Kenrick.
The SPEAKER poi.sted out the propriety of wait;ng
to see whether or not the house could entertain the charge, a point
which was not yet determined ; and, if carried in the negative,
would render any evidence intended for the defence useless.
Mr. Secretary PEEL mile some termitic upon
having the papers reprinted in sufficient time for the use of the
Memuers.—The motion was postponed tilkTuesday next.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Yesterday, Mr. Charles Abewow Sugg, who stated himself to be
an operative chemist, well known in the scientific world, appeared
before the Lotto MAYOII, in consequence of having received a sum-
mons, under the following circumstances :—A Mr. Sewell stated,
that some time in November last, being very unwell, and unab:e
to ride out, be lent the defendant a mare, on condition that slle
should be kept by him until she was required. When, however,
he wanted his mare, he neither could get her back nor learn what
had become of her, and the defendant positively refused to give
any information respecting her.
Mr. Sugg said, that in some conversation which they had toge-
ther, Mr. Sewell said, " I can't eon her for the winter, and yo'n
are welcome to have her till the winter months are over." Upon
this he (Mr. Sugg) took the mare, whit% was wrung, and in a
dreadful condition, and he spent nearly 141. upon her, on the tine
derstanding that he was to have her until the winter months were
over; and now, because Mr. Sewell was well, be wanted he:.
back, and refused to pay the expense of her keep. He (Mr: Sugg)
wanted him to pay only U. of the expense.
The Loan Mayne said. that Mr. Sugg's explanation did not
alter the case, and he again asked where was the mare?
Mr. Sugg, after some further hesitation, admitted that the Vine
was at the Horse Bazaar, and that a. was due for her keep.
Ills Loansnur desired the complainant to apply forthwith for I; i•
property, and if he did net succeed, to make another applicati:r
at the Mansion-house.

" Dull Impious trash."—Literary Gazette.
•' virulent, but vapid attack, which a contemporary has made
upon this novel,induces us to observe,that the philosophical spirit with
which this work is Elled, has been ever of the most essential service

of superstition and fanaticism, and to the inculcation of tolerance
and religious freedom.. ..... Those who wish to contemplate
a ;lortnus model of disinterested virtue, patient perseverance, and
divined forbearance, must seek them in these interesting volumes."
—l.itcrary Chronicle. _ _

" To all who are interested in the grand subject of religious
education, an the nature of the human mind, and in the process of
she formation of opinions, this work will be a source of deep in-
ter,st, and a topic of lasting consideration. Like the author of
Tremaine, the writer has considerable power of drawing character,
and represents scenes of interest and humour with a very striking
pen. Accurate and lively pictures of manners, conversations of
spirit and life, delineations of the finer shades of character ;—there
is enough of all this in these three volumes, to make 'bent accept-
able to the common reader."—Atlas.

" The work abounds with scenes of point and vivacity. It
possesses the charm of a strong interest, and excites an involuntary
anxiety to pursue the story—one of the certain rewards of ori-
ginality."—Examiner.

" The present publication being clothed with many of the attrae-
riot.: of a novel—such as graphic descriptions of character, striking
incidents, and an engrossing story—is almost sure to involve its
readers in religious controversy. 'fhe author is acute, eloquent ;
he assumes and sustains a tone of high and pure moral feeling; and
displays much practical a lod sense."—Scotsman.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday, Daniel Sutton, Esq. a Gentleman of independent
fortune, residing at Earl's-terrace, Kensington, appeared at this
ofilct to answer the complaint of Thomas Beans, bricklayer, of
New-street, Kensington, for refusing to pay him a balance of
wages for work and labour done.
The complainant stated that be had been engaged by Mr. Sutton
to build a coach-house. He had received some money from him,
and he now refused to pay the balance, which was 11.35. 9d.
Mr. Sutton then addressed Mr. Geraoate, and said be would ea-
plain every thing satisfactorily. The fact was, be had contracted
with Thomas Bean to do the bricklayer's work in building a coach.
house, on the 5d of August last, and was to pay him Us. per rod,
including gauge work; at the sad of the first week he advanced
him 11.25. the second week he demanded 41.155. which was refused,
on the ground that the work he had done did not amount to so
much. He was, however, paid 11. Iss. but on the Monday follow-
ing he refused to work any more, without a further advance made
him, which, of course, was refused. The work being measured by
Mr. Cutbush, an eminent surveyor, it amounted to 11. 13s. 7d.
altogether, and he now had the impudence to summon him for a
balance for what he called day-work.
Mr. Sutton farther stated, that Beans had shamefully neglected
the work, and would only work when he pleased, as be said he
never neglected an odd job in the neighbourhood when he was
working by contract ; his servant was present when the agreement'
I was made, and he had brought him to the office.
Mr. Glti.oo/1114 on hearing this statement, immediately recom-
mended Mr. Sutton to give the complainant in charge for leaving
work contracted for unfinished. (Here the tables were completely
turned, and Beans being given in charge by Mr. Sutton, he recapi-
tulated his statement, which was fully corroborated by the evidence
of David Curtis, who was present when the contract was made.)
Mr. Gasoorus—This is the most impudent proceeding I ever met
with. Do you wish me to punish him (to Mr. Sutton), or do you
think you can trust him tannish the work?
Mr. Sutton—l wish him to be punished as an example to others.
He was then sent to the House of Correction for 14 days.
