"AN7' rivors".• PAPER&

The following is the Declaration addressed to the
dlliorent Oorornmeats of Europe by the Allied Sore-

reitris at Troppan, relatively to the affairs- at Naples,
pitch was referred to -by the late article in'Tke divo-
t 'lax Observer. It was delivered to •the Senate at
Hantbargh by the Austrian resident Minister, Baron
HADSL.
" The overthrow of the order of things in Spain, Por-
tagal, and Naples, has necessarily excited the cares and
tits uneasiness of the Powers who combated the revela•
tion, and convinced them of the necessity of puuing a
chick on the new calamities .with which Europe is
threatened. The same principles which united the great
iiiivers of the Continent to deliver the world front the
military despotism of an individual issuing from the re-
rotation, ought to set against the revolutionary power
which has just developed itself.
" The Sovereigns assembled at Troppau with this in-
'teation venture to hope that they shall attain this object.
They will bike for their guides, in this great enterprise,
the treaties which restored peace to Europe, and have
united its nations together.
" Without doubt the Powers have the right to take, in
common, general measures of precaution against those
States, whose Reforms, engendered by rebellion, is
openly opposed to legithnate governments, as example
has already demonstrated, and. especially win-n this
spirit of rebellion is propagated in the neighhouring State
by secret agents. In consequence, the Alonarchs as-
sembled at Troppan have eiincerted together the men-
s rres required by circumstances, and have communi-
cated to the Courts of London and Paris theirintention of
attaining the end desired, either by meditation
Of by force. IVith this view they have invited
the hang of the Two Sieilies to repair to Laybach, to
alpear there as Conciliator between his misguided
people and the States whose tranquillity is endangered
by this state of things ; and as they have resolved not
to recognise any authority established by the twill-
tions, it is only with the King that they can confer.
" As the system to be followed has no other founda-
tion than treaties alre.dy existing, they have no doubt
of the assent of the Courts of Paris and Loudon. The
only object of this system is to consolidate the alliance
between the Sovereigns ; it has no view to comities', or
to violations of the independence of other powers. Vo-
iuutary ameliorations in the Government mill not be
impeded. They desire only to maintain tranquillity,
atm protect Europe from the Scourge of new revo-
lutions, and to prevent thews as far as possible."

HO USE!. ESS POOR.
At a meetipg of the Ueneral Committee, yesterday,
an advertisement, explanatory of the intention to
establish permanent receptacles for the Homeless Poor,
was produced by the Secretary and agreed to.- We
have no doubt that the furtiter appeal to the genero-
sity of the benevolent, which this appeal has rendered
necessary, will be promptly and liberally answered.
The rota, liavon, oho presided, assured the Com-
mittee they might rely upon his utmost assistance at
all times in furtherance of the very laudable objects
of the association. His Lordship, at the commence-
meat of his Mayoralty, informed the Committee that
the use of rooms at the Mansion-house, or any other
accommodation in his power, should be continued to
be afforded.
The charity was certainly under great obligations
to the late Lord Mayor, and the kindness of the present
Chief Magistrate will leave the Committee nothing to
regret. It is one of the most pleasinf features of this
Institution, that individuals differing widely in poll-
Cial as well as religious opinions, are labouring in
perfect harmony to promote the great object in view.
Both asylums continue to be filled with inmates
every night.
Some of the theatres have again offered benefits in
aid of the fond, and collections for the name purpose
sill be made on Sunday next at several churches.

COURT OF NINO'S BENCH.—Jar. It

TODD V. It nlll.
This was an action on a policy of insurance on
fruit urn board the Effort, at and from Zante to Hall,
loss,averred to be by perils of the ilea'.
The plaintiff's case was conducted by Mr. Sea BLETT
and Mr. F.Pou.oca, and the defendant's by the Sou-
crrou-ticuan•L, Mr. CAMPBELL, and Mr. W. Mae ut.
The case was in substance this :-- The plaintiff, a
merchant at Hull, employed a ship-broker, named
French, to effect insurances on the goods in question.
Through his agency, the defendant, an underwriter'
of London, subscribed the policy for 200/. The ship
being lost by perils of the sear, the defendant and the
broker met to adjust the loss, and accordinyly it was
adjusted at the amount of 165/. it happened. that
the broker was indebted to the defendant, on his own
personal account, in the sum of 661., which sum he
set off against the RUM of 165/. giving the difference
in cash, being a sum an/. The plaintiff now brought
I his action against the defendant, on the ground that
. he had no right to 4rt oil the broker's debt, in claim-
' iug the loss under the policy. The question there-
fore was, whether this action could be sustained un-
der there circumstances?
The Cuter JUSTIct charged the Jury, that it clearly
could, and
Ihe Jury, under his Lordship's direction, found a
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 63/. 16s.
TCNAILES C. DRADDIcK.
This trial seemed to excite a good deal of interest,
I whether it arose from the larreness of the sum in-
volved in its Issue, or the nature of the claim which
the plaintiff set up against the defendant. It was an
action on the case, by whirie the former sought to re-
cover compeusat• fir a loss of 10,0110/. which ac-
crued to him from all adventure, in consequence of the
alleged gross neglect, or wilful default of the de
fentlant. The declaration contained a great many
counts, hat the charges might he reduced to these
three-Ist, gross neglect, that the defendant in Lou-
don, having a discretion given him to .consign to some
volt in the Baltic, a cargo of brandy and ruin, from
St. Jean de I.llz, lead made choice of I)antzie, the
omit of all these ports, it hereby the adventure turned
out a total I,,ss to the plaintill.—Secomily, that be
had not used due diligence, or made the proper in-
irides to obtain infortuation ; and, lastly, that he had
sacrificed his correspondent's goods to his own piir-
ihnifs, being induced to send them to Dant ric, because
lie had a scheme of bovine corn there on his unit ac-
count, and trading on the credit whirli the investment
of these wines could rive bins. All these allega-
tions were of course denied, and on them the parties
joined issue. After licaring evidence, and arguing
till a very late hour, the Chief Justice charged the
Jttry, who after an hour's deliberation, found for the
plaintiff--Damages tine/. their verdict being on the
Count for detaining the brandy at Dantric through
the defendant's default.
The case was on till half-past nine at night.

POLICE. I
—.........—_
Mt LIMA LT..—Three fellows of notorious charact
mete brought up yesterday, before Sir M. Iti.otta
~/1
by Hesketh, a City Officer, who had apprehended them
the evening before as suspicious characters, by virtue
oldie directious of the Lord Mayor, to take into etas. ,
Cody all persons of that desoriptiota foam* lurking
about in the City.
Heated, stated, that lie was in Long-lane, and oh. '
served the three prisoners, all of whom he knew to be
loose characters, parading one side of the lane ; and i
three other fellows, of equal notoriety, doing the same 1
on the opposite side. Suspecting them to be all of a i
gang, and intent upon some auischiel, lie immediately ;
attempted to detain them, and succeeded in appre-
bending the three prisoners, but their companions '
made their escape.
Mr. Wontnrr, the City Marshal, said the, neigh-
bourhood of Long-lane was infested by a most despe-
rate gang of thieves, and he narrated a circamstauce
which bad occurred a few -nights ago, in Aldersgate-
street, when four of these fellows, p.rceiving them-
selves watched by a man, immediately fell upon him
and beat him in a most untnerciful manner, and also
the housekeeper to whose Atop he had fled fur protec-
tion. He could net say that the prisoners were
part of this gang, bat he knew them to be bad
characters; two of them had been tried at the Old
Bailey.
Sir his: mum lia.oxam gave no encouragement to
the officer to apprehend persons of this description,
but, on the contrary, observed, that whatever orders
they might have received they were not to lay hold
of whomsoever they might chose to suspect of intend•
ing to du wrung ; if no crime was committed, officers
, were not doing properly to take persons into custody.
!" Suppose," said the Worthy llag:strate, `• a per-
-1
son should fancy I was a ll rogue, could lie .
theranre have a right to take me into custody."
I Such •being the opinion of :•lr Matthew, and no:
actual charge being preferred against them by the,
officer, the prisoners received an admonition, and were I
again let loose upon the public.
PC II LIC Of IKE. lion-s•reeer.—liesterday Helton
Joliffe, Esq. M. P. charged Thcobald Cooling with
having been constantly annoying him fur the last
three.• months ; during which time he bad made use
of some dreadful threats towards him, together with
the most opprobrious epithets, calling him whh a
loud voice, in the streets, a . monster, scoundrel,
savage, Ike. and from the whom(' of his violent conduct
towards him, Ur. Julitfe considered that lie went in
bodily fear and danger. The prisoner being called
upon by the Magistrate to account •for his outrageous
conduct, endeavoured to make along statement as to
his claims upon Mr. Juliffe--ataaerting that 1114.-Joliffe
