GRAND WESTERN CANAL.

The Annual Meetingof the Proprietors of this Coln.
pany was held yesterday, at the City of London Ta-
vern; SAMUEL Woons,'Esq. in the Chair.
The minutes of a former meeting, the Report of the.
Committee, and a letter fioM Mr. Samuel Woolmer, of
Exeter, were read. The Report anted, that there had
recently been held a general meeting of the country
Proprietors of Exeter, and•that They were very anzioos
for the completion of the work, especially as a Canal
from Bridgewater-to Taunton was completed, and going
on prosperously, as well as a Canal for ships from the
lea-to Exeter, which would greatly facilitate the opera-
tions of this Company ; that the state of the Company's
&trances would not admit of their proceeding with the
work ; but that they had reason to believe, that a junc-
tion might be formed withihe Ship Canal Company.
•The CHAIRMAN said, that he had-reason to believe
the Ship Canal Company would be willing to negotiate
with the proprietors, so as to effect the•object of a ship
canal between the Channels, upon a smaller scale• than
that originally designed ; and he strongly recommended
CO the Proprietors to come to a resolution which should
open the way to negrociations.
Mr. SUTTON and Mr. Daaw concurred in this view,
and a resolution to that effect was put and carried
unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN was then directroir to advertise the,
resolutionsin the London and Country Papers, and to
send a copy thereof to Messrs. King and Lukin, the
clerks of the Ship Canal Compahy.
Mr. Daaw, the Bank Director, said that he was de-
sirous of joining with the Ship Canal Company, in order
to effect their common object in the best and most
practicable manner.
The Accounts of the Company were read, from which it ap.
peered that the available assets of the Company were about 1,2031.

Auxiliary in the City of London to the Society for pro.
moting the Religious Principles of the Reformation.
The Right Hon. Lord FARNHAM ill the Chair.
The ODLE CHAIRMAN alluded to the formation of
the Parent Society at the Freemasons' Tavern
.in May
last, and stated its object to be-
1. To enable Clergymen sad others engaged id promoting the
Reformation in Ireland, to purchase such quantities of Bibles,
Testaments, and Tracts, as the increasing wants of their respective
puisbes and districts may require.-2. To supply individuals and
associations with the means of circulating such instruction and in-
formation as may best meet tbepresest circumstances of Ireland.—.
S. To enable the friends of the Reformation to defray the expense"
inclined by meetings for religious discussion, and by the publication
of their proceedings. for which no Society at present provides.-4.
To collect and circulate authentic intelligence respecting the pro-
•gress of the Reformation.-5. To promote such modes of instrue-
lion as are best suited to the condition of the lower orders of the
Roman Catholics throughout the Empire.
The Nom.' Loan stated, that the purpose of the pre.
sent Meeting was to form an Auxiliary in the City to
assist in the promotion of those glorious objects.
The Hon. GRANVILLE Rinaa, in a short speech,
moved the formation of the Society, which was se.
conded by
Captain GORDON, who took an extended view of the
state of moral degradation in which the people of
Ireland were sunk, and of the prevalence of -crime in
that country—..all of which he attributed to the Roman
Catholic religion. lie stated that the Catholics were
making great efforts in this country to propagate their
faith, and that in many districts, particularly Somerset.
shire and Lancashire. hundreds of proselytes were going
over from Protestantism to Popery; in one town in the
former county, with a population of only 1,300, up-
wards of 100 such instances had recently occurred.

Stec/A:to, of Ireland, Captain VRRNON. R.N. and the
Rev. Geo. PHILLIPS, respectively addressed the Meet-
ing at considerable length. Thanks were then voted

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

M A NSION HOUSE.

Saturday Sawn Smith, a young woman, only shortly arrived In
London from the country, was charged before the Loan MAYOR
with stealing, on the night before, the bonnet of Mrs. Anne Stewart,
of Holiven, as she was crossing London-bridge. Mrs. Stewart
stated that the prisoner met her about ten o'clock, near the bridge,
and followed her for some time. When about midway over, she
snatched at and ran away with het bonnet, value 50s. Witness
called stop thief, and the prisoner was very shortly secured. Whilst
running, she flung the bonnet over the bridge into the Thames.—
The prisoner sail not a word in her defence, and was fully coat-
mhted for trial. _

It was only on Friday that this unfortunate woman applied for
relief at the Mansion House; and, as she appeared to be in great
distress, the Lotto MATO' ordered care to be taken of her until she
could be sent home by a stage coach, And that some money should
be given her to prows her necessary refreshment on the way. As
anon, however, as she was informed the money would not bA given
to herself, but to the guard of the coach, she contrived to ge• Away
from the officer who was taking care of her, and meeting some de-
praved
companions in the street, they gave her some liquor, and in-
duced
her to commit the robbery fur which she stands committed.
Michael Moore was brought up for examination, charged with
stealing a coat, the property of John Cokeley. The prosecutor, on
being interrogated as to his profession, replied that he was a " tailor
by trade." He then detailed the story of his wrongs; from which
it appeared, that the prisonet had succeeded in gaining the affections
of his better half, which caused them to lead a cat-and-dog sort of
a life; that his rib, on one occasion, gave the prisoner a pair of blue
kerseymere nomentimsolus; and a piece of black cloth, with which
the coat was made; that he met the prisoner on Friday, with the
coat.on ; and thinking, under such aggravated circumstances, that
patience ceased to be a virtue, he challenged him with the robbery
—gave him in charge to an officer, and sans ceremanie, took the coat
from his back. Poor Saip, however, could not swear to the cloth ;
and, accordingly, he was ordered to give op the coat, which he did,
and left the Justice Room, amidst the laughter of the bystanders.

unchanged. The capital, however, enjoys perfect

GUILDHALL.

Saturday, Smart, the turnkey of Newgate, brought up the wife of
a prisoner, who bad been acquitted upon an indictment for felony,
on the ground that be was Insane, but had been ordered to be de.
tained; she was examined as to her husband's settlement, in order
that his parish may bear the expense of his detention in a Lunatic
Asylum—Sir Prix' Layette asked Smart whether he and the
other turnkey, who had suffered Ikey Solomon, to escape, still re-
tained their situations in Newgate? Smart replied that they did.
Sir Press thought that an officer se indiscreet as to accept brandy
and water (with which some stupifying drug had been mixed) from
his prisoner, deserved immediate dinnission. As, however, he
(Smart) had been examined before the Court of Aldermen, be would
refrain from putting any questions td him now.

her in the Workhouse, but she wanted an allowance of money in-
stead, to which the Overseers refused to accede, knowing, from
past experience, that she would spend her week's allowance in gin
In a few hours. Betty had been a teacher in a Methodistleal Sun-
day School, and her prayer to the Alderman. now was, that the
Overseers might give her money enough to set her up with a stock
of religious tracts. The Overseer said, that although she was the
most depraved, drunken creature, he knew she was, at the same
time, the most canting. Betty threw herself upon her knees, and
begged bard for forgiveness, but the Magistrate committed her fer
fourteen days.

of South-End, Lewisham, was broken open, and two

Wednesday, as a three-masted boat, called the Rich-
ard, in attempting to cress over to Seacombe, in width were,
two watermen and a passenger, (during a complete hurricane, by a
sudden gust of wind 'catching the sail) upset, and they were at
once precipitated into the water; when one of the boatmen named
Davis, and the passenger, after in vain struggling for some time,
finally sunk beneath the waves.—Lieerpoof Courier, June 6.
Wed,,e.day last a waterman who attended hackney
coaches, named Charles Rashfield, met his death in the
following shocking manner. It appeared that about
half-pa,st twelve o'clock on the night in question, two
hackney coaches were abreast of each other, a little
beyond the watergate at Vauxhall Gardens. In endea•
Touring to avoid them, in crossing, the deceased was
struck down by the off horse, and the two off.wheels
went over him, and caused almost instantaneous death
by the scalping of the skull and fracture of the jaw ;
although he was taken up instantly and medical aid
procured, all attempts to prolong his existence proved
unavailing. From the testimony of two persons who
witnessed the lamentable occurrence, it plainly appeared
that it was purely the result of accident. On Friday
last an Inquest was held on the body of the unfortunate
man, at the Vauxhall Tap, Lambeth, before R. Caavao,
Esq. when the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental
Death," with a deodaad of *s. on the coach and horses.

FATAL DUEL.

Extract of a Letter from an Officer of the Royal Marines, dated at

Cape Town, 50th May, 1147.
" Cape Town has been quite in an uproar, about a
duel which took place between an Officer of the 55th
Regiment of Foot, and a Mr. Noble, who came out
passengers on board the Harvey transport, from Ply-
mouth. They met at Steenbach, and Noble's ball took
effect directly in his opponent's forehead, who instantly
expired. The unfortunate deceased (Lieut. Bonnes)
was only 21 years of age, and had just purchased his
Lieutenantcy. It appeared they had some dispute during
the passage, which was increased to the most deadly
hatred by the intermeddling of some of the passengers.
A Court of inquiry has been held on Mr. Noble, and
has acquitted him."

The KING has commanded that Mr. CANNING shall
have a public funeral; and on this day week his remains
will he buried in Westminster Abbey, between Mr. Fox

A RNI I COMMISSIONS.

Mr. HUME, before moving for returns of the num-
ber and rank of Offic.rs on lull and half-pay, (Ist and
2d rate) on the Ist of January, 1827, wished again to
call the attention of the House to the immense increase
of the Army expen.es, notwithstanding twelve years
peace. In 182'2 the number of Officers on half-pay
was 13,600; and in 1826 that number, instead of being
lessened, was increased by 118. He would bring for-
ward a mution founded on the returns on a future
occasion.

Lord PALMERSTON said, he did not rise for the
purpose of objecting to the motion, nor ►hould he now
repeat the arguments which he had employed so often
belore in answer to the Honourable Gentleman. When
the Honourable Gentleman said that every new ap
parturient became an additional burthen to t e pub-
lic, he must confine that observation to Ensigns and
Comet,.

Mr. HUME said his object was to awaken the House
to the necessity of effec ins a consider able seduction of

D. Denies, a dealer in second-hand clothes in Field-lane, was
charged by 3. Hellessey, a carpenter, with assaulting him on the
preceding evening. Complainant went into defendant's shop to

them on, and finding they were too small, be requested lobe 'hewn
another pair, instead of which defendant gave him a heavy blow
on the head. threw his smaliclothes and shies into the street, and
forced hint out of the shop in that state. Defendant said he did so
in consequence of his hiving exposed his person in the press:we of I
some females. This was, however, contradicted by one of his own
witnesses, and he was ordered to find hall.

LORD LIVERPOOL

The following Bulletin was 'hewn this morning:
FIFE House, FE8.21, liALT•PAST TwitvE.—" Lord
LIVERPOOL has passed a good night, and is better this
morning."

We have received New York Papers to the 17th uli
but they are chiefly filled with speculative articles on
the subject of our armed interposition its favour of Por-
tugal, and particularly upon the effect it may have on
the fate of Cuba, which the American politicians sorely
suspect is destined to become lawful prize to this coon
try. If we are not mistaken, however, they may safely
divest themselves of their anxious presentiments, though
it is no fear of what they might think or feel on the
subject, that would regulate our decision upon this or
any other subject. Should it ever become part of the
policy of this Government to seize upon that important
island, it would not originate, as the Americans might
suppose, in a spirit of aggrandisement, but in the more
legitimate desire of humbling the pride or punishing
the perfidy of the Spanish Government. In the mean-
time, there is no necessity of such an application of our
power at the present moment, it being clearly the
wish, as it is the interest of the Court of Madrid, to
avoid everything, by which it could provoke the just
resentment of this country.
The subjoined intelligence has reached us this morn-
ing through the North and Sauth American Coffee-
House :

It has been resolved by the Admiralty that another
expedition to the North Pole shall be undertaken; and
in consequence the HECLA has been undergoing repairs
for the last four months in the Dock-yard at Deptford
preparatory to setting out a third time, under the com-
mand of Captain PARRY. The vessel is to proceed to
Cloven Cliff. in Spitzbergen, latitude 79. 50. about six
hundred miles from the North Pole, which place, it
is expected, she will reach about the commence-
ment of June. Here the HECLA is to remain, and
be established as a sort of head-quarters, to which
recourse is to be had when necessary, and parties are to be
detached to explore the surrounding coasts and seas,
while the main object of the expedition, an approach to
the North Pole, is attempted by Captain PARRY'S party,
The Captain is to depart with two vessels, which are so.
constructed as to be capable of being used either as

they be able to travel on an average, fourteen miles
l.er day, and meet with no obstacles, they will hi

the HECLA after the accomplishment of their object.

THE KING, &c.

BRIGHTON, Firsaamit is.
The ICING, a few days since, had a slight attack 'of
gout in the left hand, but which, almost from the onset,
continued to subside, horn the treatment administered.
In the evening of Friday, however, some further symp•
toms of the malady shewed themselves ; sad, I rrgret
to state, that gout now has possession of his MAJILSTY'S
fert; but even the latter attack does not seem to be of
the virulent kind, as the KING has passed good nights
since, and hoprs are entertained of his MAJILSTY'S
speedy recovery. The report at the Palace this•morn.

'; The KIM° has passed a tranjuil night, though his Maits has
gout in both fret ; but, in all other respects, is wen."
Ma. CANUING.—.The indispositien of this Gentleman,
arising from a cold, as before stated, has been of a
severe and •ery painful kind, at intervals not unattended
by danger; but I have the satisfaction to observe that
the danger has passed, and that the Right Hon. Secre-
tat y is now in a fair way of recovery.

The Earl of &arrow is still attended by his Physician. Sir
MATTHEW Ti ; but I have the pleasure to add, that his Lord-
ship is regaining his health, and may already be considered in a con-
valescent state.

Admiral Sir EDMOND NAGLE has bean for some time suffering
here by a severe attack of the gout.
Mr Secretary Put. arrived at the Palace last night.
Monday, the Coachman of Mrs. Courrs underwent an examina-
tion at the Bench at the Town Hall, charged by Captain RUDDACC
with having wilfully and dangerously driven a carriage on the
wrong side of the road on the East Cliff, whereby he, the com-
plainant, who was on horseback, bad with great difficulty avoided
serious mischief. The defendant, when remonstrated with, added
impertinent language to rude and unfeeling conduct. The case being
thoroughly made out, he was amerced in the mitigated penalty of
60s. with 12s. costs.

Sir Joust Staniar, Bart. of Macias.ld, has had eight couple of
valuable dogs killed, in consequence of its having been ascertained,
that they had severally and collectively been bitten by a strange cur

Stag Hounds were destroyed at the Kennel here, some few years
back,owing to a similar circumstance.

BAYONNE, Fn. 12.
We have just learned, by a courier who left Madrid
-on the 9th, that news had been received there of the
junction of Generals Chaves, Sil►eira, and Montelegre,
at Braganza, and that the three corps united under
Silveira, for ming together above 10,000 men, advanced
towards the bridge of Amarante, where they met the
Constitutional troops, which, after a very warm action,
were obliged to let them pass.
The Royalists continued their march towards Oporto,
leaving a strong guard at the bridge of Amarante, and
driving the Constitutional troops before them, who re-
tired in disorder, after abandoning some pieces of artil-
lery.
A Portuguese courier arrived at Madrid on the Bth.
The contents of his dispatches were not officially known,
but it was reported that he had brought a declaration
of war by Portugal, grounded on the reception afforded
by the Government to the refugees who had left Beira,
and the facilities which it had afforded them t• effect
their re-entrance into the province of Tras-os-Montes.
This news has caused the greatest sensation at Ma-
drid. Several Spanish officers on furlough are said to
have set out with secret permission from the Govern-
mem, to serve in the litnyaliA troops in Portugal: they
will find there many of their countrymen.
PARIS, Fn. 16.

The importance of the debates in the Chamber having
hindered us yesterday (and still doing so to-day) from
communicating to our readers the letters which were
received by the last mail horn Spain, we will give an
analysis of them:—
M. de Lima, the Portuguese Envoy. was preparing
to quit Madrid. because he had not been able to obtain
from the Spanish Cabinet the recognition of the Con-
stitutional Government of Portugal.
.6 General &infield, Commander in Chief of the Corps
of Obseriation, has removed his head-quarters from
•Talavera de la Reyna to Caceras, a point very near to
the frontiers.

Ten Regiments of provincial Militia had received
orders to hold themselves in readiness to set out for the
army. There was great eagerness among the Royalist
Volunteers to enrol themselves in the brigade intended
for the Army of Observation.
" A Royal Decree, ordering a pinta (drawing lots)
of 24,000 men, was to appear immediately.
" A vessel from Rio de Janeiro, which has arrived at
Gibraltar, has announced that the fleet from Chile had
tittered the Rio de la Plata, and joined that of Buenos
Ayres."
