POLACK.

M ANSTON-DOUSE.—YPlterday, Mr. Levi, a re.
spertable silversmith in the Miriories, appeared upon
a summons granted upon the following statement :
Thomas Bayles, Esq. deposed, OA be resided at
Woolwich. On the night of the 14th of February
last, his house was plundered of wearing apparel and
plate to a considerable amount. Suspicion rested
'upon the servants, and they were all examined sepa-
rately, when it appeared, (baton the night men-
tioned, the groom had suffered an acquaintance of
his, a servant out of place, to sleep with him. A 1
search was instituted for this man,• but he could not
be found, nor could the property be discovered, un-
til a few days since, when a part of it was in—rather
a singular manner found at the shop of Mr. Levi.
A young man, who had formerly lived with the
deponent, was passing by Mr. Levi's shop, when he
stopped to look at a gold seal of peculiar workmanship,
which he wished to purchase. lie was about to enter
'the shop to enquire the price, when casting his eye
,on an upper shelf, be saw several spoons, two castors,
and a mustard-pot, which he immediately recognised
to he the property cf his late master ; he had heard
of the rubbery only the day before; he wrote to Mr.
Zs) les to inform him of thediscosery, and the latter
went to Mr. Levi In claim the property.
Mr. Levi produced the articles, and said he had
purchased' them about a mouth ago of a young man,
who was dressed in the style of a country Gentleman,
at the usual price of ss. 6d. per ouuce ; he should be
able to identify the man if he saw him, and was anxi-
ous to rive every essistarice in his power towards his
detection. The LORD Mayon was of opinion, that
'not the slightest imputation could rest upon the rho-
rector of Mr. Levi, arid recommended a strict search
for the depredator.
GUILDHALL.— A man of very respectable appear.
anco, named Robinson, was put to the bar, charged
with uttering a forged note of the Bank of England,
forsl —Remanded for further examination.
• QUEEN•SOUARE.—James 'Hooper and William
Major were charged by Gilmore the Officer, on sus.
picion of divers felonies. Hemet them at the horse;
ferry yeitterday morning, betweeu two and three
o'clock, and knowing that Hooper had only been a
few days liberated from lior.emongor-lane prison, he
and another officer took them both into custody.
On searching Hooper they found a chisiel of a curi-
ous construction on him. Atinet nine o'clock in the
morning, witness heard that Mr. Stetit's house, a
butcher, in Tothill-street,, hart beeu broken open ;
and on going there and comparing the chissel with ~
the marks in the door and window-shutter which
had been cut through, it was found iu fit and con.
Irespond exactly. The Prisoners were remanded for
a further examination, arid the Magi.trate desired
1 notice might be given to Mr.grent to attend.
Monday night the Coaeh.house of Mr. Coortenay,
of South Lambeth, was broke. ripest/ and the coach-

German Papers to late dates reached us this fore-
noon. The Austrian Observer contains a very long
article on the Congress, in reply to the Courier's, of
the 6th of August., " This article," says the Ob.
server, " though it is right in asserting peace to be
the object of the Sovereigns, sees the Congress in a
very wrong point of view, and its conjectures re-
specting the objects of it are therefore ill-founded.—.
It is the more necessary to notice this, as the Courier
is very generally, though falsely, supposed ou the
Continent to be an Official Paper."
The Flanders Papers, however, which are received
to the 30th ult. and from Brussels to the 3d inst. bring
the latest intelligence from Aitt-la.Chapelle. They
announce the arrival of the Emperors of RusstA and
Avner A, the King of PRUSSIA, the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON, &c. at the scene of Congress, the delibe-
rations of which were on the eve of commencing.
• Constantinople seeps to have been thrown into
great consternation by a fire on the 15th of August,

• Ltresre, Nov. 20.—Though nor Michaelmas fair
did not turn out so well as was expected, from the
want of buyers and of money, it however passed
over without any bankruptcy. But a week after-
wards a bankruptcy took place, which makes a great
noise here. Messrs. Albrecht and Bluer have
absconded, leaving debts to the amount of .near-
ly 300,000 dollars, by which Leipsic loses
100,006 dollars. They had carried on business for
only two years and a half, and enjoyed such reedit,
that they obtained money the very day before their
flight. The blame of this bankruptcy is chiefly laid
upon Albrecht, who wanted to carry on business to
an immense extent, and to ruin all his competitors;
he is besides said to have lived in a style fa► above his
ability. This bankruptcy has indented the want of
confidence, and cowed an extraordinary stagnation
in trade, which it is supposed will not be removed by
the approaching fair at Nsumberg. At the Michael-
mas fair, the want of money was so great, that it
was necessary to have money brought from other
places. Thin continued want of _money is no little
anopedirnent to trade. In ail Saxony little is to he
teen but Pruslian money. The Saxon dollars and
florins, as soon as they are coined, find their way to
the Mint at Berlin, where they are re-coined, with
a profit of three or four per cent., and thus trans-
formed they come back to us.

IMPORTANT DECISION IN SCOTLAND.
The reformation, so mach desired in the election
of the Magistracy of the Scottish Boroughs, is likely,
to be very generally advanced, in spite of the obsta-
cles that have been attempted to be thrown in the witty
of its progress, and the pompons declarations of
Mr. MAconocrttE, the Lord Advocate, that he
is not to be influenced by the precedent of Mon-
trose, or by any general principle whatever. By
a decision of the Court of Session on Toesday last,
the late Election of Magistrates for the City of Aber-
deen has been totally set aside, and the Ltoroogh
consequently disfranchised. A Provisional Msnsge•
went has been established until a new Charter,caa be
obtained; *for which a Petition to his Royal Higls.l
ness the Parscc Rcutsre in Council will be forts.

Yesterday a Common Hall was held, in order to
elect a fit and proper person to serve the office of
Sheriff, in the room of T. Wilson, Esq. who had
been elected to that office, but had refused to give
bond to serve, on the ground of his being exempted,
by his being chosen one of the Representatives to
serve for the City in Parliament.
The COMMON SERJEANT stated the object of the
Meeting to be, to elect a fit and proper person to
serve with J. Roberts, Esq. the office of Sheriff of
London and Middlesex. Two names had been handed
op to be proposed, and seconded by respectable
Liverymen. The fiat was that of Joseph Todd, Esq.
Citizen and Musician; the next was that of 'Thomas
Leverton, Esq. Citizen and Goldsmith. The Livery
would, therefore, signify, by a show of hands, on
which of these Gentlemen their choice fell.

Mr. I'. 0. Sm an proposed Mr. Leverton as a man
well worthy of filling the high office of Sheriff. Mr.
',evertor' was a Gentleman every way qualified for
it; and as he was a Magiftrate in two counties al-
ready, he was fully competent to discharge all the
duties of that important trust, it they would confide
it to him.

Mr. TUISELTON oPcotided that nomination.
.

The COMMON SERJEANT said, that since the two
first Gentlemen's names had beets handed to him,
another hid been put iii nomination ; the WIMP of
the Gentleman was Laurence Gwynn, Esq. Citizen
and Spectacle-maker.
A LIVERYMAN, from the body of the Hall.--
M Mr. Common Sinisant, the Livery would he glad
to know whether Mr. Wilson %as elected Sheriff
before or after he was chosen to serve in Parlia-
ment ?"
Mr. COMMON SERJEANT." That, Sir, is a ques-
tion which I cannot answer."
The LIVERYMAN..-64 I conceive we ought to know
how that fact is; and also, that the Livery should be
informed what the reason is why Mr. Wilson declines
serving. In my opinion he is legally hound to serve
the office of Sheriff, if he was elected to it before be-
ing returned by the City to Parliament."
The COMMON SENJEANT•—" Perhaps you are
perfectly right, Sir, but that is a question for ano-
ther place."
The LIVERYMAN had intrenched himself ton
strongly behind his legal position to be driven ou t
of
it in that manner.--Ile wished to know from the
Common Serjeant how he thought the law on the sub.
ject stood ?
The Towm acroc said, that it was not a question
for the Livery. It was sufficient for them to know
that Mr. Wilson had refused to give bond to serve
the office of Sheriff.
The LIVERYMAN now wished to know where, and
what steps would be taken to levy Mr. Wilson's fine?
Mr. SMITH.---44 In the best of all places, Sir, a
Court of Lsw."—(A laugh.)
The names of the persons pot in nomination were
then submitted to the show of hands, when the She.
riffs declared the choice of the Livery to have fallen
on Mr. Todd ; and the Hall was adjourned.

Mr. "'ALUMS', at the dose, showed that M►.
Dusorre was right in saying the influence of the

be diminished, by producing the Red Books of 1763,
1783, and 1817.

very Om man, and a Saint : so was oar CHANCEL-
Los of the EtCHIQUER ; it would not, then, be more
eztraordinary if Saint NICHOLAS were to 'see the
Devil dancing upon the Red Book. Oh ! that the
pious Chancellor woold take sample by his brother'
Saint, and order the money raised for defraying the
ressions in the Red Book to be restored to the pro.

should we pay tribute to Tories as creel as that oar

help him better in his way to Heaven than any act he

To viz EDICUIL or THE STATESMAN.

Sta,—As much doubt is entertained on the legality
of persons returned to serve in Parliament eaercing
the privilege of Members prior to taking their seat,
especially in the article of franking letters, I beg to
be i nfog wed , through the medium of your highly
esteemed Paper, on the following facts connected

with this subject :-
Ist. Do persons returned to serve in Parliament,
on the mere reterta.of the Sheriff, or other Returning
Officer, become so eo iuslaxti and de facto Members
of Parliament as to stand as fully vested with the pri.
vileges of such, prior to taking their seat, as they
undoubtedly do after actually taking their place ?
'id. in the affirmative of the forgoing proposition,
may it be permitted to enquire what becomes of the
disqualifications established by law, such, for instance,
as nonage, insofficient estate; &c. ; or how, and to
whom is it that these disabilities are intended to

apply ?
3d. Or, hi the negative of the proposition, end the
admission that such persons ere not so defacto Mem-
bers of Parliament as not to be subject to disqualifica-
tion on its just appliance, and which can be only
known on a verification of powers, it may be further.
enquired, and gravely eoqeired too, in these onerous
times, who, or whet is to compensate to the Pub.
lic the defalcation closed in its Revenue by the
Illegal assumption of the privilege of franking exer-
cised by disqualified persons
4th. If then, indeed, persons returned to serve in
Parliament are in fact and verity, end not merely in
lona and words, liable to be disqualified as Members
on proof of disability, and thereby may never take
their seat, on what ground, or shadow of ground,
do they maintain the exercise of privileges which may
►ever vest ? And hew infinitely does it behove us,
/especially as it affects our fiscal resources, the vital
=arrow, as it were, of oar existence as a State, to
restrain in Coto the exercise of these assumptions
until after the due and formal inaogeration and em.
bodyment of the several Members in Parliament as
*Offal Members• of the Commons Mouse,
I beg your pardon, Sir, for this intrusion on your
time end patience.
