ARRIVAL OF THE EX-REGENT OF SPAIN.

Her Majesty's war steamer Prometheus, commander
Frederick Lowe, arrived off Woolwich dockyard on Wed-
nesday morning, having on board General Espartero and
suite.

Sir Francis Collier immediately proceeded on board the
Prometheus, and having been introduced to his Highness,
Sir Francis, on the part of the government, at once ex-
plained to the regent that every accommodation, both to
himself and his suite, would be most gladly rendered,
carriages for the conveyance of himself and suite to town
being in readiness.
His Highness, however, declined the offer, having pre-
viously arranged to embark in a small above-bridge
steamer for Hungerford-wharf, where the carriages of the
Embassy would be in attendance to receive him. His
highness added, that he wished his visit to be as private
as possible.

His Highness, who appeared to be in remarkably good
health and spirits, conversed in the French language for
some time with Sir Francis Collier, and took occasion to
express to that gallant officer in unmeasured terms his
gratitude for the extreme kindness he had experienced
from the British authorities, from the moment he placed
his foot on board the Malabar ship of war.
The Duchess of Victory and the Lady Elidia Espar-
tero (the Regent's daughter) also expressed their acknow-
ledgments.
Despatches were immediately forwarded to London,
announcing the Regent's arrival at Woolwich.
Lord Bloomfield, commander of the Royal Arsenal,
arrived at the Dock-yard shortly after 12 o'clock, and
went off to pay his respects to General Espartero.
Shortly before two o'clock the Waterman Company's
steamer (No. 9) went alongside the Prometheus for the
purpose of receiving his Highness and suite, and having
taken the whole of them on board, at once proceeded to
Hungerford-wharf, where carriages were in waiting to
convey the noble exiles to Mivart's Hotel.

The Duke of Wellington, Sir R. Peel, and many per-
sons of consequence called on General Espartero imme-
diately after his arrival in London.
In compliance with a requisition from the Common
Council of London, the Lord Mayor has fixed Friday
next for a special Court, to welcome Don Espartero to
this country.

COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH BRAZIL.— Chevalier
Aranjo Ribeira has arrived in town. This ;gentleman is
charged by the Brizilian government with authority to
re-open negociations with her Majesty's government for
the purpose of effecting a new commercial treaty between
Great Britain and the empire of the Brazils.—Globe.
IMPORTANCE OF WATER TIGHT BULKHEADS.—The
Margaret of Hull, a large and powerful steamer, intended
for the African trade, struck on a rock near ()ban, on
Tuesday, when on her passage from Hull to Liverpool.
The damage sustained was so great that the water in-
stantly rushed in, and in less than ten minutes the fore-
hold was completely filled. Fortunately the vessel was
divided into water tight compartments, and being thus
saved from sinking, was got into port at Oban. The
Margaret is quite new. Sh had a cargo on board for Li-
verpool, but no passengers ; and the forehold being filled
with casks of oil, the'cargo is little injured. The whole
damage will, we are informed, be repaired at a cost of lit-
tle more than £loo.—Leeds Intelliyencer.

CROWN COURT.-TUESDAY.

Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN took his seat at nine o'clock.

BURGLARY.

Benjamin Kino, aged 24, and George Crossley, 18,
were charged with having, at Todmorden, on the 31st of
October last, feloniously and burglariously broken and
entered the dwelling-house of James Scholefield, and
stolen therefrom six knives and forks, twelve pairs of
scissors, and other articles, the property of the said Jas.
Scholefield.

George Medealf, now a labourer at Manchester, stated
that he was, on the 9th of November, under sentence in
the New Bailey prison, at Manchester, when the prisoners
were placed there. Three or four days after they were
placed there, King entered into conversation with him in
the presence of two men, Roose and Potts. King de-
scribed to him the manner in which they got into Schole-
field's shop, and the property which they t,,ok. They
said they had pawned the goods at various places. They
pawned one half-dozen knives and forks at Peirson's for
sixpence; a Macintosh, a pistol, and a dozen knives and
forks, at a shop in Withv-grove ; and a top-coat at ano-
ther place. Crossley took part in the conversation occa-
sionally.
The jury found the prisoners guilty, and they were sen-
tenced to ten years' ti ansportation.
Jesse Howarth, 26, Robert Milburn, 35, John Hughes,
31, Richard Entwistle, 22, and Benjamin Ingham, 48,
were charged with having, at Tottington-Lower-End,
feloniously and burglariously broken and entered the
dwelling-house of Ann Heap.
It appeared by the evidence that traces of footsteps were
found from Ann Heap's house in a direct line, with a slight
interruption, to a house where the whole of the prisoners
were proved to have been together.
Mr. Sergeant MURPHY and Mr. Wmcnis addressed
the jury in favour of the prisoners, and the jury acquitted
them.

John Scholes, aged 24, was charged with having, on
the 2nd December, 1840, at Tottington-Lower-End, fe-
loniously and burglariously broken and entered the dwell-
ing-house of John Barlow, and stolen therefrom a shawl
and handkerchief, a pair of stockings, &c., the property
of the said John Barlow.

It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution, that
on the 2nd December, 1840, Mrs. Barlow in the middle
of the night saw a light through some chinks in the floor
of the room in which she and the family slept ; thinking
that the house was on fire she gave the alarm, and her
daughter got up, ard, looking through a hole in the floor,
saw the prisoner. He was known by the name of Lomax,
and as he ran away, Miss Barlow called after him—" Ah !
I know thee, Lomax." He had been employed by Mr.
Barlow. He absconded immediately after, and was not
apprehended till July last.
The prisoner was sentenced to twelve months' impri-
sonment and hard labour.
