THOMAS THURTELL'S BANKRUPTCY.

Saturday, the tontntiisioners tinder Thds. Thnttell'a
bankruptcy, issetabled;at the Chambertein Basing Hall St.
to a ge the final examination of the bankrupt.
The room was crowded to excess, and several additional
creditors appeared to prove their claim upon the bank-
ritpt's estate.
The messenfer signified to the Cammissionere that
Thos. Thurtell ivas confined in Newgste, la consequence
of a bill of indictment having been found against hint at
the instance of the County Fire Office, charging him with
wilfully setting his house, on fire in Watling Street and
that the keeper (Mr. Woatner) would nut suffer hint to
late the gaol.
Mr. Wortrana appeared, and said he had taken profei-
sional advice, and should not produce Thomas Thurtell on
the present application.
Mr. Havrem the Solicitor of the assignees, after
consulting with the Commissioners said, that an application
would be made to the Court of Chancery for a writ of
Habeas Corpus to bring up Thos. Thurtell on a future day ;
and that the assignees had determined to have the affair
investigated as they believed the claim oa the County Fire
Office was a good one.
[We understand if the County Fire Office should ulti-
mately be compelled to pay the demand made uptin it by
Thurtell's assignees, his creditors will receive ten shillings
in the

pound.].

Mr. WALTON opened the case.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL said, this was au information
against John Hatcliff, the master of a vessel called the
Cottingham, trading to Hull. and it charged him with
making a false entry of his cargo, which, by the statuis
of Charles the Second. he had incurred a penalty of 2001.;
and .bad landed improperly a quantity of tobacco sad
pepper, by which be was liable to a further penalty of 11101.
By. the witnesses be would be able to prove the ship's
arrival at Hail on the 16th of November, 1522, from Peters-.
burg, rod after she had remained some time in the port,
the officers found secreted In ♦arious parts a quantity of
tobacco and pepper ; there were also marks as if tobacco
had been removed, and it was reasonable to suppose that
it bad been landed.
The witnesses having been examined,
Mr. BarortHuo.oca summed up the evidence, and the
Jury returned a verdict against the defendant, in the pe-
nalty of 2001. on she brat connt.

ANOTHER EXAMINATION OF MRS. STANTON.

HATTON OARDITN.—On Saturday morning, Mrs. Stan-
ton was brought to this Office, for, as was g Ily
thought, final examination. It however proved otherwise,
as its result was her being remanded back again to the
New Prison. Considerable conjecture is afloat as to the
cause of these repeated exatnivations. The examination
was conducted in the Public Otlie, from which, however,
all reporters were excluded.
The only witness examined was Mr. D'Arcy Bolton, the
House Surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, who sim-
ply gave evidence to the fact of a patient having been
introduced to their care on the 12th of October ultimo,
whose condition was as before described. The wound was
.dressed, and the man put to bed. In his opinion the
wound was of a nature not likely to prove fatal with
common surgical assistance. This witness was bound
over in a recognizance of 401. to give evidence on the
trial. Owing, it is presumed, to the indignities offered
to the prisoner on the last exatniration, she this day came
up in a coach, which was kept waiting till the close of the
investigation, when she again returned to the prison by
the same conveyance. Considerable numbers were collected
to witness her departure.
Questa SQUARE.—On Saturday there were great numbers
of non•cowusiesioned officers and privet:s of the Foot
Guards brought before the Magistrate', conformably to
the new regulations, to be sworn in. The men for limited
service, under Mr, Wyndham's Act, were re-attested for
life; and those whose services entitled them to pensions,
were likewise sworn to that fact, instead of their going
before the Board of Commissioners at Chelsea, as Isitherto,
to be examined. Thus an additional duty is imposed upon
the Magistrates, but no saving to the country is effected ;
because pensioners and their families, in coining to claim
pensions from all parts of the United Kingdom, usually
travel by p , and also in returning to their own
country. In lepentlent of this, it is no saving to Chelsea
and Westwin■ter—places always liable to maintain those
people as casual paupers, and sometimes their children
becoming chargeable to the said parishes by their birth.
Amongst the group who now appeared was a veteran
who had been 33* years in the service, and who during
that time had been in all the principal battles in which the
Guards had been engaged in active service. This man had
received 43 sabre wounds at the battle of Waterloo, where
he was suddenly cat off from the wing to which he was at-
tached by a party of Frenchcuirassiers, who surrounded him,
bat be b:avely defended himself with his musket, and hellixt
their horses, till the stock of his piece was nearly cat
to pieces, and the chance of war pat them all to flight.

AN EXCISEMAN COMMITTED POE PICKING POCKETS IN TIM
COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
Saturday forenoon the business in the above Court was ex-
ceedingly interrupted by a cry of " Pickpockets, where the of-
ficers;'• presently a man of very respectable deportment, at-
tired in a suit of black, was carried out vi ct armis by the au-
ditory, who charged him with picking the pocket of one of the
gentlemen forming the Jury, of a silk handkerchief ; when on
being placed at the bar, he gave his name Henry Gillen, hold-
ing a situation In the Permit,depertment, in the Excise office in
Broad street, and residine in Snow's Fields, Southwark.
Mr. Henry Cooper Woodhouse, residing in Oxford street,
stated that on that morning about 12 o'clock, he was standing
in the Court of Exchequer. There were several gentlemen
behind him, amongst whom he saw the prisoner. Whilst
standing there he felt his handkerchief taken out of his coat
pcicket. Witness made the robbery known, and the prisoner
held down his head as if to look on the ground for it. lie then
appeared to wish to leave the Court, but before he did so, some
gentleman detected him with the handkerchief in his posses-
sion, and culled out " Here's your handkerchief." Witness
turned round, and saw his kercaief in the gentleman's hand,
who had the prisoner in his custody.
Mr. William Watts, surveyor in his Majesty's Excise• sta-
tioned at Eticorn, in Kent, saw the prisoner attempt to leave
the Coutt. He instantly seised him, and took the handkerchief
from him, anti called for an officer. (The handkerchief was
here sworn to by Mr. Woodhouse). NVitness cootintied,—the
handkerchief was twisted round his wrist, and he appeared to
wish to conceal it up higsleeve.

married men flew to their wives, and the bachelors lissteae

The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the
desideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with liar

with bliss hereafter.
Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed- obli-

the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those
impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may
have entailed upon it. To the neglect of sueh attention are
attributable, many of those hapless instances, which, while
they excite the conimiseration of the beholder, should also
impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
