favourable for the busiest, which has become very ge.
neral in this county and Cheshire. The crops of wheat,
though light in straw, are of excellent sound quality,
and will weigh well in the bulk. Oats are of gold grain,
bat very short of straw. The grass fields promise a
good after crop ; and potatoes look very promising.

PORTSMOUTH, Auo. S.

The private trader Sir Edward Paget, Capt. Geary,
R. N. has put into Plymouth..with foul winds, from
Bengat'and the Cape of Good Hope; left Ca'cutta the
4th of February, and the Cape the 23d of May. The
following is an extract from our Coiresponde:t's lette:
at the latter place:—

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, MU 41.

The Wm spite. 74, Rear Admiral Gage, Captain Car-
toll, C. B. and Volege, 28,. Hon. Captain I).tudas, ar-
rived this day from England, la-t from Teneriffe in
eight weeks ; also the Hind, 20. Ciptain Futneaux,
from Plymouth, and the Cyrene, 20, Captain Alexander
Campbell, from Portsmouth, last from Rio Janeiro.,
These ships are Al bored to the East Indies. We have
received news of the Burmese having made some suc-
cessful. movements since they recommenced hostilities ;
and that Sir James Brisbane was so extremely ill as to
be obliged to give op the command of the naval opera-
tions, leave Rangoon in the Boadicea, and go to Pinang.
We have no Colonial news of moment. Things go
on very smoothly with our Lieutenant-Governer
(Bourke). There have been lately two curious trials,
which have excited some attention, because they ori-
ginated in a practice which requires revision. Both
were for a breach of the fifth article of the Port In-
structions, about giving bond twelve hours after an-
choring. Captain Willens, of the Deitch ship Concordia,
was acquitted ; but Captain Purdy; of the brig Gwent, y,
was,,convicted. The ship Sir Edward Paget (which
t ikes this letter) has been nearly lost in Sinson's Bay,
having broken four anchors, and nearly drifted cn
shore. The Dutch vessel Concordia has had a thoiough
repair, having been nearly lost in a hurricane near the
Mauritius. the Castle Forbes is discharging her cargo
into the brig Coventry : it is not expected that the
Castle Forbes will prove worth repairing.
The &mann& 26, Capt. Dunn, is lying here, with
the Southworth transport, tatting condemned stores, for
England. Commodore Christian, in the Oaten Glen-
dower, and the Helicon, Captain Arland, are gone to
visit the Islands of Mauritius and Madagascar. The
Helicon lately went am cruise tit Port Natal, and found
Mr. Farewell, R.N. and patty, all well. King Chakka
was.very kind to them and to the English in general.
They are engaged in the ivory trade. The crew of the
brig Mary were building a sloop, of about 40 tons, for
the purposes of the trade.
The Ifir Edward Paget left Calcutta 14 days before
the Sir Thomas Grenville, which arrived on the Bth ult.
consequently does not bring any news. She did not
touch at Madras, but at Masulipatam on the sth March.
Thirty-eight Officers of the Royal Marine Corps,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Two men, named Nighley and Thames, were charged with in-
decently exposing their persons by bathing at twelve o'clock on
Friday, close to London Bridge. _ _

The Loa, Mws•oa said to the Officer, you don't mean to charge
than both with bathing—why, one of them looks as if be had not
washed his face these six months. The Officer assured his Lordship
he actually saw him in the Water. Why, then, said his Lordship,
let them both have a week's exercise at the Tread Mill, and kt that
ditty fellow be well washed before he comes out.

GUILDHALL.
Saturday, a young female, of very interesting appearance, called
Badcock, was brought before the sitting Magistrate of this office.
charged by her husband, a gingerbread baker, with asnulting him
on Friday night.
It appeared that Mrs. Badcock was of a very troublesome dis-
position, so mach so, that articles of separrion had been signed
between them for five years; at the same time she was bound over
for 201. to keep the peace to her husband and all his Majesty's sub.
jects. This salutary bond Mrs. Badcock utterly disregarded, and
Lad repeatedly, when intozicated, assaulted her husband.
The MActstasas said he sincerely pitied her, but be would dis-
charge her cm her promising never again to molest her husband.

31 A R LBO SOU G 11-STREET.
Saturday, a poor miserable looking wretch was brought into the
once, preceded by two street-keepers, one of whom carried, with
something like au air of triumph, about one-etch of a truss of straw,
whilst the other held in his hands no small quantity of printed
papers, the paper being somewhat similar in quality to the bills of a
celebrated and infallible doctor. The beadle with the straw stated,
that he found the prisoner in Grosvenor-square, with the straw,
which be now held in his band, calling nut—" If you will buy my
straw, I will give you my book--only a halfpenny, a halfpenny, a
straw-who will buy M—This novel mode of selling straw drew
together a large mob of persons, and C..iding they were determined
to remain, be, lane eeremonie," took the straws:ller and his books
into custody. The literary beadle then laid before Mr. Dyer, the
counterpart of his companion's bundle.
Mr. Drza—.Selling of straw, what is the use, this is quite new
tome?

Prisoner—l was not selling the straw, I was singing a song.
Mr. Dvms—What is the use of the straw, for I cannot discover
anything in the book relating at present to the straw?
Prisoner-4t is the custom of the trade.

Mr. Drica—l want to know what has the selling of the straw to
do with the book ?

Prisoner—•l did not wish to mention the Lady and Gemman's
name, fearing they might be known.
The book was then read, preceded by the following pompous
title page:—" The military Captain and the naughty Baronet's
Lady:" after which it continued to reLste, in grave strains, the
late faux pa:.
He was discharged on promising not to offend again.

Saturday, a young woman, named Margaret Drew, who was tier.
vent to Mr. Godfrey Lazarus, High Holborn, was charged with
attempting to destroy the house by fire.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. Lazarus, that he was
awakened between one and two o'clock on Friday morning, by a
strong smell of fire. He hastened down stairs, but it was with
difficulty he could proceed to the lower part of the house, where
the fire appeared to have commenced. Ik, however, recollected
that he left Mrs. L. in bed and asleep, and before he endeavoured
to extinguish the fire, he hastened to his room, where he found his
wife quite overpowered by the smoke. He carried her down stairs,
where also soon revived. The lower part of the house was then
searched, and it was discovered that the fire originated in a small
closet under the stairs In this closet was kept the utensils used
by Mr. Lazarus at the time of the Passover, and to which no one
had access but the members of his own family. A lighted link was
found there, which had been placed on a beam, but it .appeared to
have fallen on a shelf, which was burnt, and the flames had comm.
nicated to other parts of the place. There was no positive evidence
against the prisoner that she had placed the link in the closet, but
Mr. Lazarus said that, for the last three nights, the prisoner had
slept on a sofa nearly over this closet, and she had requested to be
allowed to sleep there during the warm weather, instead of sleeping
in a more confined room at the upper part of the house. Mr. La-
zarus also said, th.t whin he came down stairs, he found the pri-
soner in her room, nearly dressed. The watchman was then knock.
ing at the door. Mr. Lazarus added, that a short time ago, he was
alarmed in the middle of the Opt by the cry of " Fire !" and,
strange as it might appear, the only article on fire was a table, which
stood in the middle or the apartment. Tills circumstance had never
been explained. The prisoner declared she was innocent. She was
remanded until Wednesday.
