We, tlie undersigned, do therefore publicly express our, perfect confidence in the stability of the Dovor Banks, under the Firms of J. MInET FECTOR aud COMPANY, aud LATHAM, RICE, and LATHAM, and we declare that we shall continue as usual to take their Notes to any amount. The House of MINETs and STRIDES having some weeks since announced their intention qf closing their Dovor Banking concern at the end of this month, we have only in reference to them to observe, that our confidence in their stability is fully equal to what we have expressed with respect to the other Banks.

We remained about three weeks in the waters of Smyrna. During my peregrination about the city, passing the great bazaar, or market, I came unexpectedly upon the bodies of two Greeks, just beheaded, lying before their own doors, with the heads set upon tbe posteriors, by way of derision. By a refinement in cruelty they cut their heads off, with a sword, at the door of their dwellings, where the body b exposed, and spit upon by tlie rahble Turks, until a certain hour of the night, when the friends are obliged to buy the right of burying, or the bodies are thrown into the 8ea. We sailed from Smyrna for NapoH dl Romania, the capital of the Greek Government. We were received with every demonstration of joy. I accom- panied the Commauder- in- chief, with a number of officers, to visit the authorities; we were shown a mosque altered into a senate chamber, and were entertained in the house, formerly the residence of the Turkish Governor. This place is very secure ih its fortifications, being almost ano- ther Gibraltar. They have about twelve or fifteen hun- dred men in the garrison, well armed, and partly disci- plined ; but they can make no head against Ibrahim Pacha, who has overran tlie Morea, with about ten thousand troops, disciplined and officered by Frenchmen, who, to the disgrace of their country wear a turban, aud wield the sword for the suppression of civil and rational liberty. This once brilliant people— this land of " song and story," is now overrun and laid waste, but the Greeks are not yet conquered. But if I may judge from what I have seen and heard they have no chance of success, unless the " Legi- timates," the Holy Alliance, ( France leading,) will cease to aid the Turks, as they do, snb rosa, Left to themselves the Greeks are more than a match for the Turks, but with- out speedy and powerful aid, they must sink before their secret assailants. We were visited by many of their most distinguished men, the following are all my memory fur- nishes the names of: viz.— Prince Mavrocordati, Secretary of State, and head of the Council; Prince Ypsilanti, Gene- ral, and brother to tho one who first raised the standard of rebellion in Moldavia; Condurlotti, a very wealthy citizen, and President of tbe Senate ; and Chanarius. the commander of their naval forces, and he who has blown up two of the enemy's Admiral's ships, a very brave and distinguished DR.

By Order of tbe Board. JOHN STORER. KEAn'S RECEPTION AT NEW YORK. From the New York Gazette of Nov. 15. Mr. Kean made his first appearanco, since his return from England, last evening, in the character of Richard. Great crowds had collected in front of the Theatre previous to the hour of admission ; on the opening of the doors they poured in in streams, and in a very few miuutes the house was filled throughout. On the ringing of the bell for the commence- ment of the performance, the clamour and shouting among the frieuds and foes of this individual began. Th « curtain rose, and two of the minor characters of the play appeared and commenced reciting their parts, but the confusion was too great to allow them to be beard. Kean was loudly called for, who speediiy appeared, bowed, and prepared to address the audience. The noise, however, did not abate, and after standing on the stage ftill a quarter of an hour, finding that the audience were unwilling to listen to him, he retired, when Mr. Simpson, the Manager, presented himself, and claimed to be heard. He respectfully requested that the audience would grant Mr. Kean the liberty of addressing them; he wis sure that it was not the practice of Americans to con- demn without a hearing, and he trusted what Mr. Kean had to say was such, as would prove perfectly satisfactory. On his leaving the stage, Mr. Kean ie- entered, and intimated by gesture, b » wish to be heard, but the uproar was renewed, and he was refused the liberty. After waiting upon the stage about ten minutes he again retired, and the Play was resumed, the first three acts of which were entirely panto- mimic— not a word could be heard. In the fourth and fifth acts, in some of the scenes where Kean was not on the stage, some passages weie audible, but the part of Richard was, throughout, conducted in dumb shew. During the wooing scene, in the second act, one of the many missiles that were thrown upon the stage, passed directly over the heads of Mrs. Hilson ( who represented Lady Anne) and Mr. Kean, nearly striking the latter.— Mr. Hilson, who was in one of the boxes in front of the pit, being alarmed for the safety of his wife, immediately leaped upon the stage, and conducted her off. Mr. Simpson then appeared, and with an expres- sion of countenance indicative of sorrow and indignation, seemed to implore that the audience would act with more, dccorum, and display a little more respect for themselves. After some delay. Mrs. Hilson again appeared, and the piece proceeded; but, as before, the diu of mingled ap- plause and hisses rendered the dialogue inaudible. In the following act, an orange thown from the gallery, struck Mr. Kean upon the breast. He immediately picked it up, and dis- played it to the audience a few minutes with looks of indig- nation, and finally threw it behind the scenes. After this there were few intermissions of the uproar; and the fallin g of the curtain was attended with the same tumult that ac- companied its rising. After the termination of the play, Mr. Kean was an- nounced to perform Othello, to- morrow evening, which an- nunciation had the effect of renewing the confusion. On the conclusion of the afterpiece, Kean was loudly called for, when Mr. Simpson appeared and stated, tliat he had left the house. On the Teceipt of this information, a part of the audience displayed a disposition to commit violence, and we understand some damage was done to the benches, fixtures, & c. The streets in front of the Theatre, during the whole of the evening was thronged with a number of turbulent, in- dividuals, who betrayed much anxiety to make a forcible entrance into the building, and at one time had nearly effected their object, but were prevented by the active ex- ertions of a strong police. ( From the New York Daily Advertiser of November 16./ Monday evening, agreeably to public notice, Mr. Kean made his first appearance at the Park Theatre. The boxes on the tirst and second row had been y rcviotuly taken by his friends, and early on Monday all the pit tickets were dis- posed of, and notice placed on the outside of the doora that no tickets could be had. About an liour before the time of performs nee all the avenues leading to the doors were chocked up. and the rush to obtain admittance was very great. All parts of the house were crammed long before the cur lain rose, and it was evident that it was composed of materials which would not remain quiet. At the commenceraeut of the se- cond scene Mr. Kean appeared, when the* houtsof his friend- and the hootings of those unfriendly were almost deafening. He bowed and appeared anxious to address tlie audience : but the tumult was so gTeat that nothing could be heard. Mr. Simpson, the manager, eame forward, and with great d- fficulty was heard tD say that Mr. Kean wished to be heard, and that he hoped an American puDlic would not condemn him without a hearing. When he retired the uproar was renewed, and continued throughout the whole five acts to such a degree that Mr. Kean's voice was not heard during the whole performance. He frequently attempted by his gestures, to address the house, but it was impossible for his friends to obtain for him a hearing. During the piece he was pelted with oranges, apples, kc. At the close of the play he was announced for Wednesday evening, in tbe cha- racter of Othello, amid uproar and tumult. To the Editor ofthe Daily Advertiser. Mr. Editor— With oppressed feelings, heart- rending to my friends and triumphant to my enemies, I make an ap- peal to that country famed for hospitallity to the stranger, and mercy to the conquered; Allow me to say, Sir, what- ever are my offences, I disclaim any intention of offering any thing in the shape of disrespcct towards the inhabitants of New York;— They received mc from the first with an ethusiasm, grateful iu those hours to my pride-- in the present to my inemory. 1 cannot rccal lo my mind nny act or thought that did not prompt- me- to an unfeigned acknowledgement of their favours as a public, and profound admiration uf the private worth of those circles In which 1 had the honour of moving. That I have committed an error, appears too evident from the all decisive voice of the public; but, surely, it is but justice to the delinquent ( whatever may be his enormities) to te allowed to make reparation where the ofl'enccs wore committed. My misunderstandings took placc in Boston. To Boston I shall assuredly go, to apologise for my indiscre- tions. I visit this country now, nnder different feelings and aus- pices than on a fornier occasion; Then 1 was an ambitious man, and the proud representative of Shakespeare's heroes; — the spark of ambition is extinct; and 1 merely ask a shelter in which to close my professional and mortal career. I give the weapon into the hands of my enemies ; if they are brave, they will not turn it against the defenceless. Washington Hall, Nov. 15,1825. EDMUND KEAN. We received the foregoing note last evening, acccompa- nied by a request from tbe Manager of the Park Theatre that it might be Inserted in our paper this morning. If by the remark, " tliat he lias committed an error appears too evident from the decisive voice of the public," Mr. Kean alludes to his conduct at Boston, and supposes that to be the ground of the unfavourable reception he lias met with here, we have no doubt that he labours under a very serious mistake. It is primarily his moral conduct which excites the opposition of so large a portion of the citizens of New York lo his appearance on the stage. How far this apology will satisfy the public, we pretend not to say, From another New York Paper. The most ludicrous part of the affair, was the interest ma- nifested for Kean by the blacks in the upper tier. They re- lished the sentiment of the play so highly, that they could not contain themselves, and their applause was obstreperous. One of them appeared as a kind of leader. He thrust him- self forward with a flag, and gave signals when his company was to cheer, aud cry bravo Kean. " Oh, Massa Kean, go on," He debbleish sight belter play den Hulet." " Turnout de brack rascal." " Cuffee, lookee dare, how he rolls his eye*, like two eggs in a soap dish." " Hold tongue, Toncy; how like mad dog ho foam at de month," " Take off hat, and let Missa Dinah see." " Debbie take Missa Dinah ; I want to hear him stamp his fooL" jForcigit Intelligcucc. Buenos Ayrcs Argos to the 9th of October have been received. It appears by advices from Salta, tuat the municipality of Tarlja had . assumed to itself extraordinary powers, and dismembered that district from the province of Salta, and incorporated it with Upper Peru. The Argos of the 24thof September, contains the decla ration of Independence of the Provinces of Upper Peru, dated August 6th. In the Sitting of the Chamber of Representatives, on the 26th of September, the question of th e freedom of religious worship was discusscd. The Report of the Committee on the project ofthe law was first read. This projcct consisted originally of only one article, to the following effect:— " The right of every individual to woiship the Deity, ac- cording to his conscience, if inviolable, in tho territory of the Provinces." The Committee, after stating at great length their arguments in favour of the law, proposed Ihc following article :—" The temples, chapels, and cemeteries which, in Ihe exercise of this right, each religious profession shall desire to establish in this State, shall be erected with tbe previous knowledge ofthe Government." The delwte was continued on the 28th September, but no account of its result is contained in those papers. LIMA, AUG. 8.— Bolivar is now in Upper Peru, having visited Arequipa, Cusco, and in other places, and in every part has been received by the inhabitants wilh the greatest enthusiasmandrcjoicings. He was to proceed to Peru. LaPaez, Potosi, and other departments to tbe Southwards, arid is expected to return to Lima about Dccemlier. The siege of Callao is carried on under the direction of the Colombian General Salom,. the port being blockaded by the united naval forces of Peru, Chili, and Colombia, and hopes are entertained that the place will be obliged to surrender soon. This is the last hold the Spaniards have in Peru. Their force in Callao is under two thousand men. ALEXANDRIA, Oct. 15.— Mehemet Ali who who now gives himself the title of Alexander and Napo- leon II., intends after he has subdued the Morea, lo pay a visit to the Franks, beginning with the dominions of the Pope.

At the island of Milo we took pilots on board each ship, and the next morning ran into a fine little harbour called Assan, in the island of Paros; next, westerly, to Naxos. and cele- brated for its marble. Here we found Rn almost unmixed Grecian population, in abject wretchedness. In apprehen- sion of tlie Turks they are afraid to sow, where they may not reap, and are thus in extreme poverty, and I fear moral debasement. From Paros we sailed direct for Smyrna, in Asia Minor— we passed so near as to have a good view of Sci6 and Ipsara, tbe two places so horribly conspicuous for the recent barbarities of the Ta » ks, many instances of which were related to me by gentlemen residing in Smyrna, too devilish to repeat or think of.

M. Reymond, the confidential agent of M. Rothschild " in Paris, has absconded, being in arrear to the extent of near one million francs on the Parisian Exchange. It is also said that he is indebted to M. Rothschild to the amount of two million of francs, 011 account of the last Neapolitan loan. A French Paper states the following facts respecting his arrest:—" By a very singular chance the driver of a cabrio- let, carrying to M. Rothschild's house u, person who manages part of his business, said, when stopping at the gate of the Rue D'Artois, tint he had taken thither some days before a man > vho appeared much disturbed in his mind, and whose description was the same as tluat pf Reyraond ; at this time a breeches- maker who had heard of the robbery committed on M. Rothschild, came to tell him that be Irad been ordered a few days before to make a belt fit to contain banknotes, and that the pei^ on who wanted it was to come for it on a particular day, and at an hour which bad been fixed upon. This twofold " intelligence led to the discovery of the hiding- place of M. Reymond. M. Rothschild went thither, and, without manifesting any anger towards the offender, used all imaginable efforts lu iuduce him to confess his crime.— Notwithstanding his most anxious efforts, Reymond refused everything, and M. Rothschild seeing all his representa- tions disregarded, was about to leave the house, when tlie agents of the police, who had also discovered Revmond's retreat, made their appearance to seize him. M. Rothschild in vain interceded— he was not listened to, aud Reymond was taken to prison. It is said that M. Rothschild has de- clared to Reymond's wife and children, that they need not fear being deprived of their livelihood, as he would take upon himself toprovid fear them." On the night of the 6th Instant, the waters of the Loire suddenly rose to an alarming height and inundated the town of Nevers; overturning many houses so suddenly tliat tbe Inhabitants had scarcely time to escape over the 1 oofs ; many lives it is feared are lost, and a great quantity of cattle have perished.

Private advice from Rio de Janeiro states that on the 12tii of October the birth- day of the Emperor of Brazil, something of importance relative to his Government was expected to transpire, his Imperial Majesty seems in- defaligable in the Organization of tbe military and naval forces; and lojks int . the minutia of every thing with tbe utm- Tst scrutiny ; he trusts to no one.

MENDICITY IN THE NETHERLANDS.— Ac- cording to a report presented to the Government in 1814, there were then nearly 700,000 paupers living scattered a- bout, which, in a population of 5,500,000. is more than 12- tooths, or 1 in 8. At tbe end of 1823. there were, moreover. 31,000 paupers between 700 and. SOOpoor- boOses, at the cliarge of tlie Government, and 42 work houses, in which more than 7,000 are employed; but the system of colonization lias succeeded to well, that very soon there will be no more occasion for these work- houses. 1 here are al- readv ten colonies, ( we believe the. have been planted on the waste lands which are found in the Netherlands.) of which eight are in rhe Northern Provinces, and two Southern0. They contain 000 houses, and between « , 000 au j 5,000 persons, who have already brought a great deal of land under cultivat ion. In general these colonies ha ve suc- ceeded beyond expectation: they lave lwth scliools and churches, " and present an appearauee of contentment. The nnmher of poor in the Netherlands leads to a remarkable conclusion. If among ! 00 individuals there are 12 paupers, tbe latter must be nourished by tbe remaining 8d. But of t hese, not above 44 will be males; but supposing some of tbe females work, we must slill deduct tbe children and tbe aged. But'we must also dedUtt tbe members of administra- tion, with all tbe subalterns of government, the military, the clergy.

SUICIDE AT SOUTHAMPTON.- --• : " Tills; town wasjtbrown into agitation 011 Monday se'night by the following horrible occurrence:-- About four o'clock iu the afternoon, one of the under- performers of tbe theatre, named Morgan, was seen by two women attached to the house to go to the closet where the theatrical artillery is kept, and load ana prime a pistol. They remarked the cir- cumstance to each other, and seeing him take it down the smirs, leading frcrn the stage, immediately felt a presentiment that all wa- not right. They followed him softly down the stairs, found that he had extinguished the light in the room, under the stage, and the darkness that prevailed intimidated " them from proceeding further. While they were in a stale of considerable agitation for the consequences, oue of the per- formers came up. They related what liad occurred, and at the Very instant the report of a pistol was heard. Tlie per- former mentioned immediately rushed forward, and in the passage leading into the pit, close to the pit door, found the unfortunate man, perfectly dead, and presenting the most horrid spectacle that can possibly bo conceived. He had dis- charged the pistol with so exact an aim, that the upper part of his head was completely blown off, and blood and brains covered the wall and ceiling. The event being known, the theatre was beset with crowds for some time. The perfor- mance, which was for the benefit of Kelly, one of the mana- gers, and was expected to be most brilliant, was of course put off. Various causes are assigned for the act. Some say il was to revenge himself on Kelly, who had affronted him; but this istco incredible, and Want of money is more likely; as he was a man of dissipated habits. An inquest was held on him on Tuesday;' and there being no evidence of any thing like insanity, the Jury brought in a verdict of felo desc, and he was accordingly interred late in the evening, in the church- yard, without any service. MURDER AND RObbeRY AT BIRMINGHAM. Dec 7.— last night the neighbourhood, of Livery- street was thrown into the greatest consternation and alarm by the cries of murder from a female, wife of the unfortunate indi- vidual. tbe subject oftbe following account;— Mr. Perry, a respectable grocer and cheesemonger, who has for many years carried on the above business, was about closing his shop windows, when an Irishman named Michael Ford, entered, and required to be served with several arti- cles. It wasabout half past ten, and tbe family were about to retire to bed. Ford, it appears, has lately come to this town from London, and is a bricklayer's labourer. He has e lie resided in Birmingham, lived at a lodging bouse a doors from Mr. Ptrry's and Ford !: ad been a weekly omer of the unfortunate Mr. Perry. On Tuesday night he came laughing into the shop, and talking to Mr. Perry about twenty minutes or half an HIT. During tbe conversation. Ford observed lie had re- ived a wound ou his left cheek with a ball. He requested Mr. Perry to put his finger to the inside of his cheek, ts a large substance had remained ever since the wound had been healed. Mr. Ferry consequently did so, and after that the wretch seemed shuffling, as though lie was restless ; at last, as he surveyed tlie shop round and round, lie desired Mr. Perry to let him have a hock of bacon; Mr. Perry took down a side of bacon, aud from a drawer lie took a large Iron cleaver, for the purpose of breaking tlie bone. During tbe time Mr. Perry was weighing the bacon, Ford snatched up the cleaver, unobserved by Mr. P. and endeavoured to pos- himselfof the till from behind the counter; lie r tubed on P. aud inflicted such a dreadful blow on his head, that ut hts hat asunder, and made a dreadful Incision on the back of his bead. An attempt was made by Mr. P. to dis- his antagonist of the deadly weapon, but in vain, and the unfortunate man received two more desperate wounds in tlie front. At this moment a niece of Mr. Perry, hearing a scuffle, entered the shop, and darted at tlie assas- [ sin, and forced the cleav er from him, with which he liad the instant before, threatened her annihilation. Here Ford II, or was forced down, but before Mr. Perry's niece .11 Id give tbe alarm, or secure him, be escaped. Mrs. P. had gone to the cellar for the purpose of fining some ale.— She heard a slight noise, but not bearing any words, she went on with her work. Shortly afterwards sin- was alarmed by tbe screams of her niece, and she came up and beheld her husband weltering in his blood. One of his breeches pock- ets was turned inside out, and tlie contents taken by Ford. Messrs. Ekington and Partridge, the surgeons, after making every exertion for stopping tbe blood, declared Mr. Perry to be in imminent danger, and that it was impossible he could survive many hours. Mr. Perry survived u'H Friday night, when he expired. He was about 60 years of age. Michael Ford lias not yet been apprehended; he is about five feet seven inches high, light hair, and sallow com- plexion, of a downcast and repulsive countenance ; on his left cheek there is a scar; his visage is thin and sharp; he has lost two of the joints of the middle finger of his left or right band, his dress it that of Irish labourer generally. MURDER AT GLASGOW. Monday night, a young woman, Sally M'Vicar, w ho lived near the Barrowfield road, Glasgow, was stabbed in the neck in a public company, aud expired iu about half au hour afterwards. Tliere was a raffle and dance In a public- house In her neighbourhood, and she was induced to join the com- pany. On coming into tbe room she was recognised by Claries Campbell, a cotton spinner, to whum she was mar- ried, but seldom lived with him. They both joined in a dance, but with other partners; and in the course of tlie dance Campbell patted her 011 the cheek in a familiar manner, and without any appearance of animosity. After the dance had finished, Campbell observed the deceased sitting on tbe knee of her partner, for which be reproved her, and desired her to leave her partner's company, observ- ing, it would be more becoming if she liad been with himself. This she refused to do, and remarked, he ought to be with his wife at Johnston— alluding to a connection be is said to have formed there — whereupon he took up a small breakfast knife, and attempted to strike her about the face, but was prevented by tbe persons present from doing any injury. He made a second attempt, and succeeded in inflict- ing a deep wound in her neck. She then ran out of the » . ra, but fell after getting through the kitchen, in an attempt, it is supposed, to leave the bouse, She bled pro- fusely, and fifteen minutes having clapsed before a surgeon could be got, his endeavours to save her were unavailing. Campbell was much intoxicated when he committed the fatal deed. Upon being apprehended, lie was carried to the Police- Office, in which he soon fell asleep, and slept soundly till morning. Upon awaking, he inquired of the person in attendance, wliat tlie news of the morning were V He was answered, very bad. He inquired what?— you have killed your wife, was the reply. What, said he, have I killed tbe only person for whom I had any regard V He was assured tbe fact was certain, His sister afterwards visited him, and it was intimated if he would wish lo see libs mother V He said jealousy of his wife had instigated him to commit the fatal deed. It would appear that the danger of disturbing, the graves of the dead in this neighbourhood, does not deter the midnight thieves from attempting the robbery. Early yesterday morning, the guard at the Calton burying- grotind were repeatedly alarmed by persons scaling the wall on the south- side, opposite to tlie burying ground of the ill- fated Mrs. Campbell. They were pursued out of that quarter by the guard, when they re- appeared on the north wall several times, apparently for the purpose or distracting the attention of the guard. The vigilance of the watchmen completely defeated the unhallowed object in view. Between two and three o'clock, a person came to the gate and asked If a sub- stitute was wanted, and entered into some frivolous con- versation, which led the guard to suspect he might be one of those concerned in disturbing them. He was taken to the police- office.— Glasgow Chronicle.

The first lottery is naid to have been drawn A. D. 1500. It consisted of 400,000 lots ot 10s. each lot: the prizes were plate, and the profits were to go towards repairing the; havens of this kingdom. " It was drawn at the west door of St. Paul's Cathedral. The drawing began on the 11th of January, 1669, and continued incessantly drawing, day arid night, till the Oth of May following,' as Maitland, rom. StovVe, Informs ug in his history, vol. 1. p. 257. There wore then only three lotteryr- ol( ire~ Tp, ffihdQPu proposals for this lottery weic publls| i{; d in the yeats 1507 and 1568. /| t was at first intended to havt been drawn at the house or Mr. Dericke, Her Majesty's servant ( i. e. her jeweller) but was afterwards drawn as above- mentioned. Dr. Rawlinson showed the Antiquary Society, 1748, " A proposal for a very rich lottery, general without any blankes, contayning a great No. of goed prizes as well of redy motley as of plate and certain » orta ot merchandizes, having been valued aud prized by itlre Copulaitdanl of the Queen's most excellent Majesties' order, to the extent tlial such commodities as may chance to arise thereof after charges borfie may be converted towards the reparation of the havens and strength or this realpic, and towards such other public good workes.

In the year 1612, King James, in special favour for the plantation of English colonies in Virginia, granted i lottery to be held at the west- end of St. Paul's; whereof, oi> o Thomas Sharpley, a tailor, of London, had the ihief prize, which was four thousand crowns, in fair plate. ' lu the reign of Queen Anne it was tliought necessary to suppress lotteries, as nuisances to the public. , FORTUNE HUNTING.— Some time ago a gen- tleman of the sister country being determined to get a wife whose pecuniary circumstances bore some proportion to his accomplishments, went to France upon the adventure. , He laboured hard in the matter for some time without success) and was about to give It up, when he met an old friend w ho asked liini to hts house, . at Dieppe, informing him at the same time, that although his lady was not ceremoniously his property, she was his by all the rules of honor, and moved in tlie most elevated society. The invitation was ac- cepted,' and the hero of tills story wai surprised and de- lighted to find the sister of a gallant Admiral of tbe Eng- lish navy at the house, He . availed himself of tlie oppor- tunity, was received with warmth, pressed his suit, and was married after a very short courtship. Tbe couple lived in a state of tbe m<* t anxious hope for a few weeks; but it liap- pencd that the finances of both began lo subside at the same time, ahdllie nioment of explanation arrived at last. It then'appeared that 101. was all they had in the world; but the lady, whose spirits were extremely vivacious, desired her husband to hope for the best, and wrote to her brother upon the subject of their poverty. He consented, with a sigh. Her brother replied with all the haste tlat might have been expected. He rejoiced, that his sister had united her- self to so respectable a person but added that as his father l « d settled all his property upon bis legitimate children, there was, unfortunately, nothing for her to expect; that he hoped she had reformed her little wild tricks, and not spent the 7001. which had been given to her by her father's rela- tions This was a thunderbolt to the honor of the husband : but lu- had by this time ascertained tliat it would be advi- sable to be sileut in tbe presence of his wife. They agreed to travel over to this country. They stopt to dine at Roch- ester. on their way to London; and after having approached London a few miles more, the hujdmnd wished for a glass of brandy and water, and the wife desired him to put bis hand in her reticule, and take out some silver. Jle did so; and silver he certainly found, but it was silver spoons, which his amiable partner had taken at Rochester, as a recompense for an overcharge which she thought had been inflicted upon them by their landlord. The unfortuuatc fortune- hunter now had the additional conviction that he had a thief for his ife. The Admiral, upon hearing of the facts, resolved to > a service to his new relation and procured him a situation in foreign service of considerable emolument. A preposterous paragraph is going the round oT tlio papers, which states that a re- action has taken place in the wool- market, and that wool, which ten day* since was worth Wl., 1 HI., aud even 201. per pack, is now soiling fur 121. or 1; J|. for the prime lots. On this we have to observe, that there luus scarcely belt) any alteration in the price of wool during the lost mouth, hut that on the w hole both tlic price and the demand have improved.— Leeds Mercury.

For some time past more than ordinary anxi- ety has prevailed regarding the fluctuation of the funds, and those who were but indifferent-- ly informed, on the subject were kept wavering in opinion, now hoping and now feariifg, just as the news from France or the prices at home operated on their minds. The mixture of con- fidence and mistrust dealtrout by the Journals who had taken diflferent views, added to the field of speculation on the suliject ; but the general opinion that a precarious crisis was fast approaching^ wasloo soon realized by. the failures, in rapid succession, being announced of some houses hitherto considered among the most substantial in town; as each' house was more or less connected with a number off counj tfy banks a general run took place in every direction ; accommodations sold at higher prices! and w hat Was at first designated a panic assumed a more tangible shape; As long as the banks continued to discount at t per ( Jent. it served" as a lure'to those who hatl it iu their power to wlfbdrawlheir capital, arid- discount to the more, needy at ft per Cent, and in many cases, by the purchase , of bills, a considerable' higher interest tvas obtained, and , the usury laws rendered of no avail. And in addition to the real existing evils, the me- tropolitan market has been the victim of accu- mulated anxiety by false alarms of failures: jn, different quartors; nay, even the piqk'- ppcltets have turned the scarcity of money to their account, by assembling round the door » . of different banking- houses for the purpose of gathering a crowd, to alford them an opportu- nity of practicing their art of peculation. The state of public credit had dwindled to the last thread,— the monied men had be- come their own bankers, and the general as- pect was gloomy beyond a parallel. lu the year 1797 the public credit of tbe country was in nearly a similar state, and on that occasion as in the present instance, the exertions of tha bank were unremitting aud liberal, and in a few days tranquillity and confidence was happily Testored.

Day & Son, The Dover Banks,— Messrs. I. Minet Fec- tor & Co.; . Messrs. Latham, Rice, & Co.; and Messrs Minets and Strides, The Sandwich Bank,— Messrs. Emmerson, Hodgson aud Emmerson. The Faversham Bank,--- Messrs. Wreight and Company. Aud we sincerely hope in our next to he able to say, that these precedents will lie pcrally followed; as we arc satisfied that in our part of the country most particularly, there was never less cau> e for suspicion than at the present moment; aud we take the liberty as public censors of cautioning our readers, ( and we trust that they will not suffer our caution to remain silent with them,) against listening to arid repeating with the ordinary ' exaggera- tions of common' life, the idle gosaippings of mischievous or weak persons. This advice on our part, we think, cannot be deemed superfluous, when we have such striking instances before our eyes, as long existing banking establishments, each possess- ihg halfa million surplus capital after paying all demauds upon them, broken up, by fa' j rumours in the course of one little w eek. We put it to. the good sense of tho public, and to the trading community in particular, to pause, " and consider with themselves what would be the cllect on even the most respectable, nay, we will saV on all, were a sudden simul- taneous demand to be made throughout the kingdom for payment of all the debts they owed. Ituiu must be inevitable, however wealthy the party, and whatever their real property might ultimately prove. . No man could realise where all wished to sell'; no in- stitutions could £ tand against such a convulsion as . the . withdrawal of the ordinary confidence between man und man. . TRADE AND COMMERCE. Weights and ( Measures. In consequence of the new Act of Parlia- rtient relating to Weights and Measures coming into opera- tion ou the first of January, 1820, ' and the impossibility of the public being supplied by that- period.- with the new . Standard Weights and Measures, we refer our readers ( o the 10th Clause in the Act of the 6th of Geo, IV. cap. 76, ( of which we subjoin a eopy), wherein a remedy is provided by marking the relative differences on each Weight or Mea- sure, until a sufficient sitpply oftbe new . Standard can be obtained. We have also added a Table of the proportionate differences between the old and new Standard Weights. " And whereas it is expedient that' persons should be al- lowed to use tho several Weights and Measures which they may have in their piossesMon, although siich Weights and Measures may not be in conformity with the - Standard Weights and Measures established by this Act; be it there- fore enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for any person or persons to buy and sell goods and merchandize by any Weights or Measures estublislied either by local custom, or founded on special agreement: Provided always, that in or- der that the ratio or proportion which all such customary Measures and Weights thai I bear to the said Standard Weights and Measures, shall be painted or warAerf upon all such customary Weights and Measures respectively; and that nothing herein contained shall extend or bo construed to extend to permit any maker of Weights or Measure, or any person or persons whomsoever, to make any weight or Measures, at any time after the first day of May 1925, ( since prolonged to tho llitt of January, 1820.) except in con- foi niity with the Standard Weights and Measures established under the provisions of I he Act." 41U. is 0 .3 lighter, loz., half and quarter do. varying fram one half to a quarter grain heavier.— There is uo alteration in Troy Weight. The new corn bushel will contain one quart and a fraction more than the present bushel, so $ hat a quarter of com will be rnoje by ohe peck and a fraction, than the p- esent quarter. This difference is equal to 31. Is. 6d. per cent, all which dif- ference will be against them, uuless they obtain a corres- ponding addition in. pTice, per quarter.— Ihe tlfiereiiee iu wine measure is greater still, being 201. per cent.; for one bundled and twenty gallons and one gill, of the present measi| re> will be equal to que. hundred gatlods only of the new imperial standard. The beer measure, on the contrary; ( for wine and beer measure are henctfo, lh to be the same) will be 13- 3- 41 it . pints / erjthari the present measurein tvtry one. hundred gallons. All Weights and Measures sold a/ ter the tint of January, must agree with ( he new regulations— that is, the sellers of Weights and Measures must sell ho. otheis j but parties aiay. buy. and sell by ihe old < jues," by speciul agreement, else the new Weights and Measdrei will bind tbe. pkriics in their contracts; but the old Weights and Measures mustailutthem, be painted or marked, showing the propoitibh tlit- v respectively bear- to the r. ew standards. Extract from an act Oth Geo. JV- cap. ttO. which comes in force on the 6th of Jan. next.-: Sec. 134. It is enacted. That if any Gaoler or Mister- of a parish Workhouse shall sell, or lend, or give away, or knowingly suffer any Spirits to be sold, used, lent, or given away m the Gaol or Workhouse of which he is the Governor, ( except such Spirits as shall be given by tlie prescription of a regular Physician or Apothecary, aud to be applied in pur- suance of such prescription, from the shop of some regular Apothecary), every such Gaoler or Master sliall forfeit tlie su m of one hundred pounds, and fora > ecoud offence iu like mauner, sl « ll be deemed a forfeiture of his office. Sec. 136. Empowers Justices of the Ptace upon informa- tion given on oath, that Spiiits are kept and disposed of in any Gaol or Workhouse, and if any Spirits be found there, except sueh as are directed to be used medicinally, Constable or Peace Officer may seize and destroy the Same. Sec. 136 Masters of Workhouses or their Servants may arrest any person attempting to ' carry, or bringing any Spirits ( cxcept for'medicinal use) into aiiy Workhouse for - parish poor, and take such person before a Justice of- the Peace, and if, cm the oath of oue credible witnesssuchpef- son be convicted of the offence, he sttall'fortliwitli - be com- mitted to Prison, and there to be kept at hard labour for any time not exceeding thiee months; Sec. 137.

In compliance with our desire to furnish our readers with every class of local information, we this day present them with the following case, lately decided iu tbe High Court of Admiralty, and which, from its very peculiar features, and it not having appeared, as far as we are aware, in any cotemporary print, we trust will not be uuinteresting to our nautical friends, and in doing so we beg to observe, that we shall pay peculiar attention to any ca* es similar, whieh may occur witbiu the limits of the ju- risdiction of the Cinque Ports:-— SHIP RAIKES. This was an appeal on the part of tbe salvors from an aWard of certain Salvage Commissioners, belonging to the Cinque Ports. After hearing Dr. Lushington for the salvors and Dr. Jenner for the owners,. Lord Stowell pronounced the following judgment This was a case of salvage service performed by the' Monarch Steam Vessel, belonging to Dover; and it is tlie first case in which a compensation has been claimed, in the Court, for the service of a vessel of this peculiar diameter; I am therefore inclined to give as much encouragement as possible \ to similar exertions, on account of the great skill, and the great power of vessels of this description, It appears that the ship thAt was delivered from her' perilous situation, West Indiaman of considerable value; she uns homeward bound, and with her cargo was estimated at the value of £ 12,500 ; and altho tile actual service performed is not to be measured by that value, yet it is not to be left entirely out of consideration:— it affords tbe Court an opportunity of doing that, which it cannot in many cases, giving an ade- quate reuumeration. The ship was . in the Downs— in a situ- ation of actual apprehension— tliough not of actual danger ; slie led solicited the attention of a Deal Boat— a class of bats, as is well" known,— very active aud eminently useful, iu conducting vessels in distress to a place of safety; she'bad removed tbe Vessel from ( he sand upon which she bad struck; but still there was an apprehension of danger; and provision was required to be made for the future safely of the vessel. It was recommended that a steam vessel from Dover sliouId be sent for; it therefore cannot be denied Uiat the agency of a steam boat was considered highly useful and desirable: tbe latter lias also merit from the alacrity with which she quits the liarbuur; she goes out, it would neem, at some risk,— it being a considerable time after high water ; and upon reaching the ship, she lies by her all night - a night in the mouth of " December; watdiing and atteud- ig her, mid u- ady to perform any service, that may lie required the next day, when she transports ber into Rams- gate Harbour. The vessel was of great wealth ; she resorted t- » the assistance of a steam vessel, after haviug resortid to one of a lower species; so that on the wlwie, 1 think, 1 should have given something more than the commissioners; 11- 51 dots not appear to be an adequate reward, and I slr. il! propose a luuderal^,. addition, by makir, g the rtliilution 2001. and the expeliua of this appeal. SHIPWReCKS.— During the violent gale be- ween five and six o'clock on Wednesday morning, the Prussian vessel Albert Captain Retzlaff, while between the Isle of Wight and Beachy head . struck on a substance floating beneath the surface of the water, supposed to be the wreck of some vessel; but which front the darkness could not he ascertained. . in n few minutes the Albert had five feet water in her hold, and though both pumps were immediately going, the joint efforts of the master and crew, live in num- ber were ineffectual; the vessel, having rolled on licr beam ends,.. the mainmast water made so fast no exertion coiild save her, nl- tho' a superior vesselol' her class, and well provided with every means, to render her sea worthy; the boat was now lowered with considerable difficultv, and was half filled w^ th water immediately Captain Retzlaff and crcw were however compelled to be- take themselves to it, and in a few minules more the Albert went down. The open boat in which they now were. without any means of commanding its motions, was drifted by the violence of the sea, for more than an hour and a half, during which time they were closely passed by a three masted Schooner and a Hamburg; Galiot, who shewed his colours; but both vessels bore away before the wind without en- deavouring to lend assistance to the unfortunate sufferers. At length the Doris of Oldenburgh, Capt. Conrad Allars came up, who mast humanely laid his ship to, and after many attempts, four of the sailors managed to jump from the boat into the the chains of the Doris; Captain Ketzlalf was caught underneath the bowsprit, and drawn on board with a noosed rope perfectly insensible, but the last in the boat a young man of eighteen, in at- tempting to gain the vessel was struck by her bows, and sank immediately. Captain Retzlaff is'dread- fully bruised, and with the crew have been brought into Dover, deprived of every thing but their lives. In the evening of Wednesday the 1- tth iust. tween the hours of 9 and 10, several rockets were seen ascending from the Gull- stream- light; ulicaling that somcill- fatcd vessel had struck on the Goodwin Sand ; these signals were continued at in- tervals till about 11 o'clock. but owing to the hazy state of the atmosphere the color of the fire des- cribing the situation of the wreck. conld not be cor- rectly ascertained. The boatmen at Deal. could not launch a boat to their assistance. it being low water. At the dawn of the next morning a boal descried tbe wreck of a large brig. supposed to have wards of l50 tons, ami from a quantity of oats which were discovered floating around, it is considered this grain was her cargo. A piece of one of her sails was brought onshore, on which was " Liverpool." it is feard that the whole of her crew perished. On Thursday Iast, Messrs. G. K. Jarvis and G. W. Ledger, two of the newly elected Common councilmen of Dover, gave their inauguration dinner at tlie Royal Oak Inn, to the cOrportion and their friends. The dinner was served up by Mr. Mowll, in a style which rc- flects on him the highest credit ; and the company which sisted of nearly 100 persons. was enlivrned by profession assistance of Messrs. Beckwith. Knight, Martin, and Hall, of the Dover Theatre. who, by keeping the jocund song and merry glee in constant round, contributed not a little to the harmony of the evening. and Induced a very large propor- tion of the company to defer their separation till a late hour. The Friendly Musical Society of Dover this v- a « . u li: is much improved. On Thursday Ust, uu account of the Corporation dinner. it was rather more thinly attended than usual, but the orchestra was plentifully and ably sup- plied. We were highly gratified with Vauhall's 42d and the Overture to Peeping Tom. Mr. Sutton's Flute Concerto was executed in a style that warranted the plaudits it brought down; we long to bear it again. And the Hunting Chorus of Der Friesel nitz. deservedly enchored. We were led into these remarks from hearing a comparison drawn betwixt this and other institutions of the same nature, and on visiting it must confess we were agreeably surprised. His Serene Highness the Duke of Bruns- wick, arrived at Wright's Hotel and Ship Inn, on Tuesday evening, on his return to the continent, and at sun rise on the following' morning, a royal salute wi- fired from the Redoubt Battery on the Heights The boisterous state of Ihe wea- ther preventing any vessel from putting to sea on Wednes- day, His . serene Highness and suite embarked at one tfclgck on Thursday, in the Britannia private steam vessel, and with a very fair wind and favorable weather, quitted the Harbour under a royal salute from the Height's Battery. On Thursday a heavy portion of the Cliff behind Limekiln- street, became detached, aud. fell through the workshop of Mr. Rouse, Coach- builder, destroying a chariot on which Mr. Rouse, jun. was at the moment em- ployed, and who narrowly escaped with his life. Seventeen cases containing thirty- two hun- dred weight of British gold coin, arrived on Thursday night at this port from Calais, which were immediatly dispatched by a coach and six to meet tbe present eager demands in the Metropolis. Within the last few weeks, the united Workhouse at River, lias been twice entered in the night, and considerable quantity of stores stolen therefrom; it is thought by some persons well acquainted with tlie premises, who as yet remain undiscovered. LiEuT. COLE of the Coast Blockade service, prevented a run of fourteen tubs of spirits in the evening of the 8th instant, from a boat that was swamped in the landing near Romney, which, with the tubs, he seized. LIEUT. WESTbROOK of the same service, crept up sixty- eight tubs of spirits, in the morning of the 10th instant, off Dymchurch; the whole of which have been delivered into His Majesty's warehouse at Romney. On Wednesday the Folkstone Soup Society commenced the distribution of soup to the poor, which will continue twice a week, during the winter months. The same valuable Institution during the most imclement part will distribute upwards of 30 chaldrons of coals to the poor. During the last two months four hundred and three vessels have been sheltered at Ramsgate Harbour, seven of them were upwards of three hundred tons burthen, and considerable repairs have been effected. George Finnis, Esq. Mayor of Hythe, has requested Mr. Silvester Eastes one of the Stewards of the Elham Friendly Society, to add his name to the list of the honorary members of this Society. HASTINGS.— We feel a particular pleasure in noticing the attractions of this favorite und fash- ionable watering place ;— besides the new Theatre, a most splendid establishment is just completed; the Pelham Arcade, which, with the pretty boutiques, excellent baths, and musical promenade, is equal, if not superior to any thing of the kind, we have seen ; over the Arcade, a Cresent of first rate houses is being erected, which will add greatly to the ac- commodation of next season. BreedS AND cO'S. HASTING'S BANK. Messrs. Thomas Breeds and Co. beg to inform the public, that all their notes nnd bills will be paid, demand, at Messers.

The following melancholy ad'air occurred nt the Western Watch- house, Priory. Hustings, on Monday last:— A young, unmarried man, named Thomas Bogg, a seaman in the Preventive Service, having just returned from off duty, put a period to his existence with a pistol charged with power nt the entrance to a room in which his comrades were at dinner. The force of the explosion and the wadding dislocated the lower jaw, destroyed the left eye, and blew away a great portion of the unhappy man's skull: portions of tbe brain and its membranes were scattered in various parts of the building. A Coroner's Inquest w as held on view of the body, be- fore Frederick Fountain North, Esq. Coroner, on Tuesday lost. It appeared that the unfortunate man was of a reserved and serious disposition, aud had latterly been in a desponding state; the Jury, in conseqmence returned a - verdict of LUNACY.

On Tuesday last, there. were 43 prisoners in Horsham Gaol for trial, at the ensuing Winter assizes, the business of which will commence next Tuesday. The Ordnance Powder Mills at Faversham, sold by auction by Stephens and Brenchley. ( lately let by Government at 510.) fetched £ 14.500. At the same time less than three acres of Garden Ground sold for £ 1,423. Three houses in the to of Faversham and a house at Davington Hill, realized £ 1950 Rye.— Li the dreadful gale of Wednesday, the Busy London, laden with oranges'from St. Michael's, drifted shore about two miles to the westward of Rye Harbour. Hopes are ' entertained that the cargo will be saved, and that if the weather continues moderate, the vessel may be got off. It is with much regret that we have to state, that the whole of the Crew, except the master, perished. They quitted the vessel before she struck, in the hope their lives in the but. but it upset before it reached the shore, and the master only was saved. I An accident. which might have been attended with then most calamitous results. occurred yesterday morning near Bapchild, to tbe heavy night coach of MessrS Minter and co. on its way from London to Dover. when near that place, the coach ran against a loaded waggon, which was travelling on the road, am! the shock, was so great as to precipitate from their seats— the coachman, guard, and only outside passengcr. The horses fortunately stopped of them- selves a short distance further on. and upon the in- side passengers getting out they found the coach- man. Atherden. in the road with his thigh broken, --- the wheel of the coach having gone over it.— and the guard. Coleman( with an arm broken ; the pas- senger fortunately escaped without injury. The mail shortly After came up. and they both proceeded o: i thrir journey. Their disasters. however, not yet at an end. for the Mail, on entering Faver- sham. encountered a post, but which was attended with no other bad effect than merely breaking the pole of the coach. We arc happy to find that both the men are doing well - A foot race between Samuel White, of Can- terbury. and John Marden, of Favershnm, took place on the Dane John Field. on Monday after- noon. which was decided in favor of the latter. The parties, it will be recollected, ran 40 rods on Sheldwich Lees a short time since, which also was won by Marden. This match has excited intense interest, both at Canterbury and Faversham, and a great number of persons were assembled to witness \ great deal of money changed owners - on the occasion. On Saturday se'nnight, about 12, o'clock, Bryant and Dawson, two of the watchmen of Maid- stone, were called to the Plough public- house, to clear the tap- room, there being several persons whom the landlady, who is a widow. could not get rid of. While so engaged, the watchmen gained some information that led them, with two others, to visit the house of Samuel Knight, in Stone- street : knight is one of the men who. last week, along with one Blunden, had been Apprehended on a charge of assaulting George Pearson. Mr. Charlton's game- keeper. but had broken out of the watch- house. The watchmen, searched, the house; and at last found Knight concealed in a coal- hole under the stairs. On attempting to secure him, three of his brothers swore he should not be taken, and a' contest took place, which was at laSt terminated by Knight be- ing- secured. The prisoner was, then taken to the Plough, and was followed by his brothers, and a battle again took place, but. after nearly an hour's contest, the watchmen were victorious, and conveyed Knight to the watch- house. About five o'clock on' Sunday morning, the same party went to Bearstead. here Blunden lodged. On searching, they found Blunden's half- boots in bed with a young woman, and shortly after, they discovered him up the chim- ney, he was dragged down, covered with soot, and having- on only his shirt and a round frock. He made no resistance, and was conveyed to Maidstone.— Yesterday both the prisoners were examined before J. Jacobson, Esq. George Pearson was sufficiently recovered to attend, and he swore to the men as be- ing those w ho so cruelly beat him. They were ac- cordingly fully committed for trial at the approach- ing Assizes. Faversham, Dec. 16. A numerous and most respectable meeting neeting of the inhabitants of Faversham and its vi- cinity, took place this day, to express their conviction of the stability ofthe Commercial Bank at that place. Samuel Shepherd, Esq. in the chair, w ho stated the bnslnCss on which he had called the meeting. H. Oldman, Esq. in a clear and comprehensive manner, proved the futility ofthe panic, under which the pub- lic mind at present labours; the injury the commer- cial interest must suffer if confidence is not restored, the necessity of every one possessing influence, using every endeavour to ensure its restoration, and con- cluded by moving two resolutions, declaratory of the regret the meeting felt ut the Want of confidence, which bach been manifested in the country gene- nerally. and of their firm conviction ofthe stability of • he Commercial Bank, and their determination to to take the notes of that Bank to any amount: the resolutions were unanimously adopted, and signed by upwards of seventy of the persons present, among whom were J. Hyde, esq., J. Ford, esq., H. Old- man, esq., S. Shepherd, esq., W. Rigden, esq.. J. Pcrkins, esq.. Rev. J. Dix, and the Rev. Mr. Jones, & c. See. . • . The Farmer's Journal contains the following article:—" DISTrESSIng CASE.— Amongst the victims to the distress which prevaded the whole Agricultural hemisphere up to 1823, was Mr. Tho- mas Curling, a most respectable farmer, in the isle of Thanet. Those awful times compelled him to leave his native land, accompanied by his wife and numerous family. With the wreck of his property he hoped still to provide for those so dear to him. hut his misfortunes broke his heart; and we had the melancholy duty to record his death in the place of his exile ( Van Dieman's Land) a few weeks since. " The object of re- stating this circumstance, is to have the opportunity of making it known that a subscription is about to be proposed by a few friends of the widow and fatherless, now left in a totally destitute condition— in the hope of saving a worthy and exemplary woman, with nine children, from famine and despair in a distant land. In the mean time it is respectfully requested, that gentlemen who may be disposed to promote and aid the proposed subscription, w ill have the goodness to transmit no- tice of their kind intentions to the Editor." Sandwich, Tuesday Dec. 13. Our Fair closed 011 Saturday last, but, as is usual, being allow ed a day for " packing up" it finally closed last evening— it has this year been thinly attended and consequently but very little busi- ness done among the " fair folks," although we were favored with unusually fine weather, on the Wed- nesday, Thursday and Friday, but on Saturday on which all dependance seems to have been placed, it turned out any thing but a r vj a day, as it conuuenccd raining early in the forenoon and contiuued with very little intermission throughout the day, and fol- lowing night; although we had but few visitors, the fair was by no means deficient in point of attraction, indeed it rather exceeded that of late years; we had an exceedingly- good supply of jewellery, fancy arti- cles, hosiery, Tunbridge ware, & c, & c. and lots of shows,— for independent of the " penny peeps," we had the Liverian museum— the renowned Mid- dleton— the philosophic dog Minerva— the sapient Toby and many other " wonders ofthe age," in short every attraction that could possibly recommend it the favor of the public,— the dancing booths were nearly deserted, nor has the Theatre- been well at- tended, although the proprietor ( Mr. Paul) has much improved it since last season, he has been at some expence in decorating and otherwise rendering it convenient and comfortable ( at least to what we have been hitherto accustomed), and has evinced both taste and judgment in the selection of dra- matic pieces he has produced ; the whole of which have gone off with great eclat, he has provided the the- atre with some NEW and superior scenery, and most excellent dresses such as are seldom equalled in a provincial theatre— the company of performers ( taken altogether) is decidedly a good otic, and we were happy to lind our old favorites Messrs, Knight. Green. Martin and Hall among the number,— the musical department has also been much improved, and in fact neither pains nor cxpence has been spared on the part of the proprietor to render the whole worthy a liberal patronage and remuneration ; and as the season is not far advanced and some good •• bespeaks" anticipated : it is confidently hoped that l, e may yet from the spirit lie has manifested meet wiih that patronage of tbe public he so justly merits. j A common assembly was called yesterday for the | | purpose of allowing those gentlemen to take up the freedom of the corporation who have been actively . engaged in furthering that desirable, undertaking, I the Sandwich Harbour and Stour Navigation, when the following only were present Sir E.

Her sails are draggled In the brine, that gladdened late the skies; And her pennon, that kissed the fair moonshine. down many a fathom lies.— WILSON. All night the booming minute- gun Had pealed along the deep, And mournfully the rising sun Looked o'er the tide- worn steep, A bark, from India's coral strand, Before the rushing blast, Had vailed her topsails to the sand, And bowed her noble mast. The queenly ship!— brave hearts had striven, And true Ones died with her! ; We saw her mighty cable riven, Like floating gossamer! We saw her proud flag struck that morn, A star once o'er the seas, Iler helm beat down, her deck uptorn,-*- And sadder things than these! We saw her treasures cast away ; The rocks with pearl were sown ; And, strangely sad, the ruby's ray Flashed out e'er fretted stone; Aod gold was strewn the wet sands o'er, Like ashes by a breeze, And gorgeous robes,-- but oh! that shore Had sadder sights than these! We saw the strong man, still and low, A crushed reed thrown aside; Yet, by that rigid lip and brow, Not without strife he died! And near him on the sea- weed lay. Till then we had not wept, But well our gushing hearts might say. That there a mnlhcr slept; For hev pale arms a babe had pressed* With such a wreathing grasp. Billows had dashed o'er that fond breast, Yet not undone the clasp! IJer very tresses had been fluug To wrap the fair child's form, Where still their wet, long streamers clung. All tangled by the storm. And beautiful, midst that wild scene, Gleamed up the boy's dead face, Like slumber's, trustingly serene, In melancholy grace. Deep in her bosom lay his head, With half- shut violet eye;— He had known little of her dread, Nought of ber agony! Oh, human love! whose yearning heart Through all tilings vainly true, So stamps upon thy mortal part, Its passjonate adieu; Surely thou hastaDOther lot. There is some home for thee, Where thou slialt rest, remembering not The moaning of the sea! circumstance is related of Mrs. Cargill, an actress of . Old Bailey. SATURDAY, DEC. 10.— Samuel Sharpe was charged with stealing a letter, containing a number of bills of exchange, fiom the Post- office, while engaged there as a stamper and letfer- carrrier. Mr. Gurney and Mr. Bolland conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Brodrick the defence. The case was this. Some suspicion being excited with regard lo the prisoner's conduct. He was observed, on the day mentioned in the indictment, to put aside two letters, which he ought to have given to the sorter. Mr. Vander- gucht, desired him to come into the inspector's room, he was then desired to empty his pockets. He produced eight letters, and among others was the letter in question. It was unopened, as were all the othere. Mr. Will ams, the person to whom the letter wasdirected, proved I he fact of his inspecting the lettter. Mr. Brodrick said the line of defence he intended to fol- low was, that the prisoner had taken those letters, merely to obtain the postage. Mr. Williams then stated, tliat since this letter had been sent to him he had become a bankrupt. The prisoner, in his defence, said he had taken the letters intending to deliver tbem, and apply the postage to his own The Learned Judge Iben summoned up tlie evidence, and desired the Jury to consider— first, whether the prisoner bad secreted tbi- letter; aud, secondly, whether his object was to apply ibe bills to his own use, or merely to obtain the postage V The Jury having retired for about a quarter of an hour, returned a verdict of " Guilty of secreting the letter, but for tlie purpose of appropriating the- postage to his own use.' Mr. Justice Guselee directed tliat the judgment should be'iespited for the present, in order to obtain the Judges' opinions. New Court. Stanley De Courcey Ireland, who was described in the indictment as late of the parish of St. Mary- le- bone, la- bourer, otherwise Stanley De Courcey Jones, was indicted for having, on the 11th of October, stolen six dozens of knives, of the value of 101.; six dozens of forks, of the value of 101.; one snuffer- stand, the value of 20s.; and one cork- screw, of tl. e value of 10s., the property of Joseph DanieL. Mr'. Alley then stated the case. Notwithstanding the property that the prisoner had obtained was very consider- able, still be was now only indicted for a simple larceny, and the Court could not inflict a heavier puuishment upon him tlian seven years' transportation; but it was in the power of the Court to pass upon the prisoner what lightet punishment they thought proper to inflict.— Mr. Ireland, the prisoner, had passed himself off as a person of rank and fortune, and, by some means or other, he contrived U » take a large house. No. 91, Gloucester- place, at a rent of 4001. a year. The prosecutor was waited upon by a person, who said, " I have taken a house in Gloucester- place; I expect my servants shortly to arrive in town, and an order was then given for knives and forks, and the prosecutor's wife, who took them home, wished to see the prisoner. She was, however, told by the man in livery that he was notat home, and this answer she received when she called on other oc- casions lor the puipose of obtaining the money. At length she did see him, when he made some frivolous excuses— said he had cot the money then in the house, but would call on the morrow and pay the amount. The morrow came, but no visit was made by the prisoner. The poor woman was greatly terrified, not knowing what story she should take home" to her husband. Another person was sent to demand the money. He saw Ireland, and he iclused to leave the house without the money or goods. Ireland said he could not give him the money or goods, but he did not state wliat was the fact, that the goods u ere nut in the house; but he said " if you will wait here I'll bring you the money or the- goods." The person did wait, but Ireland absconded. He was not found until lie was apprehended in an obscure lodging, passing by the name of Jones. The officer asked biui if his name was Ireland < No, lie said, bis name was Jones. The officer said his name was Ireland, and that lie- lived in Gloucester- place. 1 he prisoner still said his name w is Joues ; but when the officer searched the room, he found some cards with the name of Ireland on them, and some duplicates for the prosecutor's property. Mr. laW, who, it seems, had been instructed for the dc- fe. ee, observed that every one well knew the clear and fair manner in which his friend Mr. Alley always stated a case; but he submitted, that if he proved to the very letter of the E'ateineut he had made, that it would onjy amount to a charge of obtaining goods uuder false pretences, but not Mr. Sergeant Arabin was of opinion tliat the- charge of felony could not be sustained, and directed the Jury to ac- quit the prisoner. The Jury, therefore, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the prisoner was ordered to lie detained lo take- his trial at the Middlesex Sessions, on Monday, for the conspiracy. Mr. Alley toid the prosecutor, and the persons who had been defrauded, and who attended the Court, that they would obtain justice at Clerkenwell; and he- cautioned { hem not to trust people by their looks. Tuesday, Dec: 13. The trials having all concluded, the RECORDER proceeded to pronounce sentence upon the convicts this morning. Seventeen received sentence of Death; viz.— Thomas Gis- more, Wm. Johnson, James M'Evoy, John Welsh. Thomas Johnson, Mark Cooper, Cornelius Brisnahum, James Ed- wards, John Williams, and William Dunn, for stealing in a dwelling- house j Michael Davies, Frederick Fellwell, and James Pinket, for burglary; and John Lowe, Samuel Roberts, Thomas W. Priston, aud H. T, Reading, for house- breaking. Eight were sentenced to transportation for life j three for fourteen years; thirty- six for seven years; and several to various terms ofimprisonment, hard labour, whipping, & c. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS'. MONDAY, Dec. 12.— Stanley de Courcy Ireland and Eliza Gravatt, were indicted for a conspiracy to defraud and cheat divers persons. Mr. Alley stated tlie facts for the prosecution. Tlie in- dictment contained six counts, each charging a distinct act of fraud committed by the prisoners upon different trade Mr. and Mrs. Marsh deposed to nearly the same facts which were already stated at the police- office— that Mr. Marsh was a house a^ ent iu Park- Street; that in September last the prisoner Ireland called upon him and stated that he wanted a ready furnished house; that he mentioned the house 01, Gloucester- place, which the prisoner agreed to take: he asked him fur a reference, and the prisoner referred him lo Mr. Martin, M. P. for Galway. On applying to Mr. Martin a satisfactory auswer being received as to the prisoner's respectability and capability of paying, an agreement drawn up aud signed, putting the prisoner iu possession of the house for oue year for 450 Guineas. On the discovery of the frauds of the prisoner Ireland, the posession of the house was restored to the Agent, Mr. Marsh, or rather to the owner, Mr. Barton. Mrs. Marsh bad a bundle of papers in her possession, which being proved to Iiave be- longed to Ireland, and to be in the same^ statc as when received from hiiu, were put in. Mr. Martin, M. P. stated tliat he knew the prisoner Ireland. He had his letters directed to him, and used to call for them. He knew him and his family at Galway, and believed them to be respectable. He was the near the relation of a friend of his, Sir E. Stanley, who held a judicial situation in India. He gave the character he did of him under the impression tlut he was able to pay. Ireland was the lessee of a marble quarry worth 5000L and had even meutioned that be had theu some of the produce of this quarry at Liverpool and London. When lie heard tliat Ireland was about taking a house in Gloucester- place, he was astonished at it, and questioned him about it, but was satisfied when he told him that he intended to let it again, and would make 1001. a year by it. When be went to the house at Gloucester- place, after the discov « rv of Ireland's couduct, he saw the female prisoner, and, from her appearance, be thought she was a swindler. The first count was for having conspired to defraud Mr. Danitll, a cutler, in Oxford- street, of six doten of knives, value 101., six dozen forks, value 101. one snuffer stand and a cork screw. Mr. Daniell stated tliat before all the goods were delivered he made inquires, and did not send the remainder. He the prisoner Ireland, who came to apologize for not paying for them. Weston, a pawnbroker, produced knives and forks which were pawned with him, aud proved to be the pro- perty of Mr. Daniell. Neither of the prisoners pawned George Benton the clerk of the pawnbrobroker, said tliat subsequently the woman Gravatt came with the same du- plicate to correct some mistake in it. The next charge was by Mr. William Vickey, 154, Re- gent- street, dealer in cluna and glass. He knew both the prisoner^. The first transaction be bad with them was on the 11th of October. Ponsonby ordered patterns of glass to be sent for approval to 91, Gloucester- place. He took them himself, and saw the female prisoner. The articles were a small desert service, a claret decanter, two more wine decan- ters, and one cut glass jug. He left them, and railed next morning, when lie was told lie must take them as they were not approved of. Ponsonby told bim he sb mid bring others. He did so, and a lady of the name of Cole, who was there with Ponsiuby, chose the pattern of a service of china wliicb cost 20 guineas, and ordered two more decanters. He de- livered the goods next day, but would not leave them with- out payment. The prisoner said he was sorry Mr. Ireland had goue to Richmond; that he could not be paid till he re- turned. Witness lost four decanters besides two which were now produced and identified by him. The duplicate was found iu the house at Gloucester- place tlie morning after Ireland absconded. The third charge was by Mr. Saxby, a dealer in foreign china, Albermarle- street. George Hill, a servant in the employment of Mr. Saxby, stated that an order having been given at their house, lie took the things to 91, Gloucester- place. He took a tea and desert service of French china, value 55 guinea*. He left them, and never heard more about tbem— it was on the 12lh October. He understood that they were fora lady of rank. The fourth charge was by Mr. Miller, a wax chandler and lamp manufacturer, Piccadilly. The fifth charge was by Harding and Co., drapers and haberdashers, Pall- mall. Joseph Galloway, in the employment of the above per- sons, stated that Ponsonby had ordered goods from them to the amount of 441., which were never paid for. Ponsonby said he wts no judge of these articles, and desired me to carry a parcel of them to Gloucester- place, and the woman there would select them, lie took them, aud the female prisoner selected to the above amount. A pawnbroker produced ten yards of linen and some silk stockings ( which were identified by the former wituess as the goods'ordered by Ponsonby), but neither of the prison- ers at the bar pawned them; and last. The sixth charge was by Summers and Smith, St. Paul's Churchyard. — Tucker, shopman to Messrs. Summers and Smith, deposed that the pr'isonc- r Ireland ordered silver articles from them to the amount of 3,5001. which would most likely lave been delivered if the fraud bad not been discovered. Among other papers, a letter found in the possession of the prisoner 1 eland was then read. It wasbddressed to Stanley de Courcy Ireland, Esq. aud purported to be from Ponsonby, Kilkenny. It was- to the effect tliat he would have written to him earlier if he had not been busily engaged settling with his tenants— that it was his intention to return to old England again, and that he did not hesitate to apply to him ( Ireland) in preference to any of his friends; and particularly as fliev were all likely to be out of town at tliat season, to procure him a furnished house against his arrival in town the following month, in the neighbourhood of Montague, Grosveuor, Berkeley, or Portman squares. He would want five servants' rooms and three others, a place for two carriages, and stabliug for four horses, attached if possible to the house, but that was not material. The rent was not to exceed 5001. a year, and if he could get one for six montlis so much the better, as he would not remain long in London. He ( Ireland) was to take possession of it till his arrival in town. He was also desirous he should procure him a cook and housemaid, as Mrs. P. intended to leave her . servants at home. He would travel to town by post, and send his servant William with a carriage and a pair of horses. He expected to hear from him in a few days. He adds, " Your friend Lord Brandon is in Dublin enjoying the fes- tivities of tliat place. Mrs. P. joins me in regards to Lady Stanley." — Gurney examined— Was servant in the house at Glou- cester place. Knew Ponsonby and Ireland. Gravatt, the other servant, he took to be the husband of the woman at the txir. He was employed as grooui. He used to ride out with Mr, Ponsonby. Often rode in St. James's- square. Could not say that he knew goods were pawned from the house exccpt one lot of knives, which lie pledged himself. He lived with them six weeks. ' I lie female prisoner was housekeeper. She was not one of the family. Never ate in the parlour. She breakfasted, dined, and supped with us. She was a servant, and always obeyed the orders of Mr. Ponsonby or Mr. Ireland. . The Chairman here observed that he did not see any evidence to implicate the female prisoner; she was a servant obeying the orders of her master, and In taking the articles to pledge, only did what aii innocent servant might do. Mr. Alley said he would not press the case against her. They may, therefore, call her as a witness if they please. The prisoner Gravatt was fhen discharged from the bar. Mr. Phillips then addressed the Jury for Ireland, and the Chairman summed up. Verdict,— Guilty. Sentence one ' s imprisonment in the House of Correction, and to be kept to hard labour. Surrey Assizes. These Assizes commenced at Kingston- upon- Thames, on Monday, before Mr. Baron HULLOCk and Mr. Justice LIT- TLedALE. Before Mr, Justice Littledale. James Griffith was indicted for an assault on Elizabeth Bannerman, on the 20th of November, at Battersea, with a ceitain intent. The prisoner bad been indicted capitally, but the Grand Jury threw out the bill* The prosecutrix, a girl of 13 years of age, lived with her uncle, Mr, Donaldson, of Phoenix Wharf, Nine Elms; On Sunday, the 20th of November, the piosecutrix having the care of two children, missed one of them, and went to look for it in the stable, where the prisoner was cleaning his horses. He immediately seized her, and, fastening the door, committed the alledged offence. It appeared to be a clear case of violation to the fullest extent; whereupon the Learned Judge directed an acquittal, the misdemeanour merging in the capital offence. Verdict— Not Guilty. John Wiltshire, a youth of eighteen, was indicted for as- saulting Elizabeth Davis, an infant of ten years old, on the 3d of July, with a Certain intent. This prisoner was tried for a capital offence at the last Summer Assizes, beore Mr. Baron Graham, and acquitted, but ordered to be detained fora misdemeanor. The father of the prosecutrix was a shoemaker in Borough, and the prisoner was his apprentice. On Sunday, the 3d of July, the prosecutrix and a younger child tvere left by their parents in care of the prisoner, whilst they Went out to pay a visit. In the interval, the prisoner conducted himself towards the child Elizabeth in the manner alledged by the indictment. On the return of Mr, and Mrs. Davis they found the prisoner reading his Bible, and no suspicion arose as to his conduct. Soon after the child became ex- tremely ill, and in a manner which excited inquiry, when the misconduct of the prisoner Was disclosed/ The prisoner denied the charge. The Jury found him Guilty, and be was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour. Mr. Kenrick and Mr. Crawford.— Tlie Grand Jury returned n bill df indictment against Mr. Crawford, a Ma- gistrate of this county, for an alleged assault upon Mr. Kenrick, the Welch Judge, in the execution of his duty as a Justice of the peace. The transaction which gave rise to this proceeding, took place, we understand, when both gen- tlemen were sitting as Justices of the Peace at Dorking at a Petty Sessions. Essex Assises. Chelmsford, Dec. 6.— Wm. Ellis and Robert Cutts were cliarged on three several iudictments for stealiug three horses, tlie property of persons residing at Maldon. On the arraignment the prisoners pleaded guilty to all the indict- ments, and pereisted in their pleas, notwillistanding the ad- vice of the Learned judge to take the chance of trial. The prisoner Cutts is a young man of respectable connections. Abraham Easter was indicted for stealing, on the 26th, May, 1824, at Chelmsford, a bay mure, the property of R. Allen. It appeared in evidence that the prosecutor, who resides at Kingston, in Surry, lost his mare oti the 24th May, 1824, from an enclosure, and ou the 26th of the same month the' prisoner, who is a licensed horse- dealer, of Woodbridge, suf- folk, purchased it at Chelmsford fair for 71. aud in the course of the same day resold it for 81., to au inhabitant of Wriltle. In September last, the prosecutor found the mare in the pos- session of the purchaser, and in consequence of inquiries the prisoner was apprehended, but admitted to bail. Not Guilty. Elizabeth Philbrick, a girl sixteen years of age, was ii • dieted uuder Lord Ellenborough's Act, gor feloniously administering a certain quantity of arsenic to Ann, the wife of John Hurrell, at Boreham, on the 3rd of October, with intent to murder ber. The case proved in evidence was this.— The prisoner, who was the daughter of poor parents, lived as servant of all work iu the family ol' Mr. Hurrell, a respectable farmer, at Bore- ham, near Chelmsford. On the 2d of October, Mr. Hurrell had procured some arsenic, fur the purpose of destroying some rats, and having poisoned the body of a dead fowl, lie intended to put into a rat- hole, he put the remaiudpr of the deleterious drug into a paper, ou which he wrote ilie word'• poison," in large letter^ The prisoner took the paper in ber band, andjread the word " poison" aloud. Mr. Hurrell then locked up the parcel in ins bureau, and put the key into his pocket, Ou the following morning, Mrs. Hurrell being indisposed, Mr. Hurrell made tea, and desired ibe prisoner to send up a cup, and gave it to the eldest of Mr. Hurrell's children, a girl of seven yean old, to take to her mother. The child took it up to her mother, who took two mouthfuls of it, but almost immediately perceived symp- toms which gave her alarm , she sent tea cup down, and de- sired ber husband to be sent up. The child, from curiosity, drank about a table- spoonful of the tea after she had quitted her mother's room- Mr. Hurrell, upon being informed of the matter, went intuitively to his bureau, aud found the paper of arsenic was gone. Alarmed at the discovery, he- sent to tlic neighbouring village of Boreham, aud procured a large dose of caster oil, which tie administerd to his wife and child, and sent off the contents of the tea- pot to Chelmsford, to have ihein examined by a chemist. Mrs. Hurrell and her child became extremely sick in a quarter of. uu hour, and had all the symptoms cf persons who had taken poison; hut, fortunate! j, they recovered after the most violent sensations. It was discovered that there had been arsenic infused in the tea. Suspicion falling on the prisoner, her mistress taxed ber with having possessed herself of the arsenic. She was again taxed ou the suhjcct, aud told if slie confessed the truth, she should be forgiven. The prisouer then closed the door aud made a statement, which, as it was induced by a promise of forgiveness, could not be reeeived in evidence. The pri- soner was next day sent home to hei parents uuder the care of a man. servant, to whom she made a similar statemeut; but the Learned Judge would not receive it in evidence, alter the promise proved to Iiave been made by her mistress. Mr. Hurrell could give no account how the prisoner had ob- tained access to to the bureau, for he never niis- ed the key. from his pocket. No adequate motive could be assigned for tlie conduct attributed to the prjsouer. The prisoner said nothing in her defence. Mr. Baron Hullock summed up the case for the Jury, as oue of strong suspicion, but told them they, must begpvemed by the evidence legally admissible in support of the ca< e, which lie thought wns extremely doubtful as to the fact tliat the prisoner Irad adlninistered the poison. The Jury, found the prisoner Nat Guilty. William Owen and William Pickett were indicted on the 57th Geo. III. for entering an enclosed park, called Old Walk, in the parish of Navestock, in the occupat ion of John James, Earl of Waldergaave, in the night of the 24th of November, armed, with intent to kill game.— Another count described that the prisoners had entered " an euclosed ground Iji the occupation of John Fothergill, esq." The Jury fuund both prisoners Guilty. DEC. 7.— John Smith was indicted for steal- ing at Orsett. on the 16th of November, a Horse, the pro- peity of Robert Partridge. Mr. BrodericK, who conducted the prosecution, railed witnesses to prove the following facts:— In the night, of the 10th of November, tho stable and cart- lodge of Mr. Part- ridge, a small farmer, at Orsett, were broken open, and 1 la- horse in question, a cart, aud a set of harness were stolen. The robbery being made notorious in the neighbourhood, the prisoucr Was apprehended uuder rather singular circum- stances. A man named Saunders having been apprehended at Islington, on the 18th November, on a charge of stealing eleven sheep, which were found concealed in a stable in Sermon- lane, told the officer who had him in custody, that f he would go to the stable between five and six o'clock iu the evening, light a candle, and give a whistle when some- body knocked at the door, he would see a man on horseback. He desired him to take particular notice of the horse for there was n reward of 401. offered fur it. The officer accord- ingly went to the stable. About half- past five o'clock lie heard a tap at the stable- door, gave a whistle, aud. on'open- ins; the door he found the prisoner on horseback and imme- diately took him into custody. The prisoner, said nothing whatever in his defence, and; the Jury, without hesitation, found him Guilty. This wretched man had been convicted pf horse- stealing at the last Spring Assizes for this county, but the capital punishment had been mercifully commuted to six months' imprisonment; nnd within two months after his liberation, the offence in question Was committed. Before Mr. Justicc LittleDAle. Mary Ann Thew was indicted for. feloniously intermarrying with Thomas Clarke, at St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, and: afterwards with William Riches, at the parish of South Minster, iu Essex, well knowing at the time of such mar- riage, that, her husband, George Thew, was living at Chelmsford. It appeared in evidence, the prisoner's first husband^ having been convicted of some offence at the last spring as- , s for this county, was sent to the House of Correction for months In the interval the prisoner successively mar- ried Thomas Clarke, a batchelor, and William Riches, a married man, whose wife was then living. The case was clearly proved against ber by the evidence of her first husband, by her own ( Confession, and by tile cer- tificates of her several marriages. She was found Guilty, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. William Riches, by trade a dealer in marine stores, was then indicted for feloniously intermarrying with the last prisoner, at South Minster, his wife Mary being then living. The case against him was proved by his own confession, and by the evidence of the marring having been celebrated. It was objected on his behalf that an indictment would not lie on the statute, where a married man contracted a second marriage with a married woman, her first husband being alive. The prisoner was found Guilty.—" Sentence, one year's imprisonment. All the convicts were respited during his Majesty's plea- sure, except John Smith, whose case is above stated. Upon him Mr. Baron HullocK pronounced the dreadful sentence oftlie law, and advised him to prepare for his fate, which was Inevitable. The assizes ended on Thursday evening. police Intelligence. BOW- STREET.— Friday se'nnigbt, Cockerell, the utterer ofthe sham Bath and Bristol notes, was brought up. before Sir R, BiaxiE, and fully committed to Newgate for trial, THE soi- disant SIR THOMAS HEWITT. This person, whose real name is William Wheatly, and who some years ago resided at a place called Settle, hear Maresfield, in Yorkshire, in the enjoyment of £ 5,000 a year, with a suitable establishment of horses, carriages, and ser- vants, was brought up for further examination yesterday, on various charges of fraud; and the office was crowded to an overflow with gentlemen who knew him in the days of his prosperity, aud by tradesmen, inn- keepers, and others, who have been defrauded by him since he has betaken him- self to fashionable vagabondizing. He was placed at the bar, as sprucely powdered as on the day of his fust appearance bere; he sported a new pair of pea- greeb gloves on the occasion; at his own request lie was accommodated with a chair; and Mr. Harmer appeared as his solicitor. The first witness called was Mr. John Bennett Luce, who deposed as follows :— I am the son of Mra, Jane Luce, the proprietress of Luce's hotel, Weymouth. . On tlie 2nd of November last, tbe prisoner, accompanied by two Joung per- sons in male attire, landed at Weymouth fronj Guernsey packet, and they took up their residence at our house. We furnished them with the veiy best accommodation tbe house afforded, and they remained with us uuiil, the 17th of the same month, during which time the prisoner entered into a negociation for a house in Weymouth; and he also agreed for the purchase of a number of cows, from Mr. Air, a butcher there, which he said he wished to lave sent to his seat, Denbigh Manor House, in Denbighshire, and he gave Mr. Air a route for tliat purpose. On the evening oftlie 10th of November, his account at our house, amount- ing to £ 28 0s. Id. was made out and given to him at his re- quest; and, between ton and eleven o'clock the same night, he sent for me into the drawing- room, and told me his name was Robert Wynn, and that he was brother to Mr. William Wynn, the Presideut of the Board of Control ;--- Iie added, that he had not much cash notes with him, but lie had a draft nearly the amount of my bill, which he presumed would answer our purpose qilite as well. He then handed me a draft fir £ 39 I7s., dated Leeds, 17th September, drawn by Jas. Benet and Co.. payable to Swainson and Co., three months after date, at Jones, Loyd and Co0 bankers, l. ondop, and specially indorsed by Swainson and Co, to Mr. R. Wynn. He bad previously taken occasion to inform my mother tliat he was brother to the President oftlie Board of Control; and she ( not wishing to offend a gentleman handsomely related) agreed to take this draft in payment of our account, nnd accordingly I gave him the difference in cash, aud he indorsed the draft, in my, presence, " R. Wynn." Next morning, he ordered a cliafiot and post horses, abd drove to Salisbury. But instead of paying for tl. em in mouey, he gave the post- boy a letter containing a cheque, dated Salisbuiy, for £ 4 19 » .. upon Hoare's, Barnett, and Co. London, and Signed R. Wynn; and in the letter he re- quested my mother to deduct the expense of the chariot and liorses, und give the overplus to the post- boy, waiters, & c. I paid both the draft and the check into the Weymouth hank, and they were aftervraids returned to us dishonored—- tbe draft, with the answer" no advice ;" and the check with tbe answer " we know no such jierson." Upon getting these . » ecun7/> » backagaiudisbonored, 1 went in pursuit of " Mr. R. Wynu," taking formy guide the route which I had given Mr. Air, but when I got into Wales I could find no such place, arid beard nothing of Mr. R. Wynn rince, until I re- cognize him iu the description given of " Sir Tim Hewitt" in the policy reports from this office. The Magistrates ( Mr. HALLS and Sir R. BIrNIE) observed, that if evidence was produced to prove tliat the indorsement •' R. Wynn" was not his real name, he would be liable to take his trial for forgery. A gentleman immediately stepped forward and said he cou'd give the nect- ssary evideuce. This gentlemau was G. Lowther, Esq. of Wolsey- house, Winchester, and turning to the prisoner he said—" 1 believe you know me Mr. Wheatley 1" The prisoner slowly raised his head, and replied " per- fectly." Mr. Lowther stated that he had known the prisoner some years as William Wheatley; and had been defrauded ol 220'., by bim. The clerks from Jones, Loyd, and Co., and Hoares. Bar- nett, and Co. were next examined, to prove tint they had no connection with any erf' the parties named either in the cheque or draft. Mi. Halls observed, that as the prisoner had represented himself to be the brother of the President of the Board of Controul, it would be necessary to have that representation disproved; and accordingly he sent a note requesting the , Right Hon. President's attendance. A number of persons pressed forward to prefer com- plaints against the prisoner. A Mr. Adam ( n solicitor, we believe), who said he had a serious charge of fraud against the prisoner,'. committed at Boulogne by means of a draft upon Baring's.— Mr. Saunderaon, a tailor, in New Bond- street, complained ' that tho prisoner bad defrauded him- ot clothes to the amount of more tlian 40I.— Another tailor, whose name we did not hear, made a similar complaint.— Mr. Gillow, nn upholsterer, in Oxford- street, complained that the prisoner had defrauded hiiu of some goods lately, upon the strength of his having formerly employed him to furnish his house in Yorkshire.— Mr. Ellis, landlord of the Star and Garter at Richmond, complained that the prisoner had lived at his house many weeks, and departed without paying his hill.— Mr. Marshall Thompson, the hotel- keeper in Caven- dish- square, and Mr. John Gale, tho livery stable- keeper, iu Oxford- street, who liad taken the trouble of apprehending the prisoner themselves, as we stated formerly, were anxious to prosecute him on their respective charges. But as these were all minor cases, and some of them mere matters of simple debt, the Magistrate declined going into the parti- Tlie Right Hon. Charles Watkin William Wynn, Presi dent of the Board of Contronl. was announced, he was sworn, and in answer to Questions put to him by the Magistrate, deposed as follows:— " I am not aware that I ever saw the prisoner before. 1 have no brother or other relative, named Robert Wynn, or whose christian name begins with R. 1 never heard of any such place as Denbigh Manor- house." Mr. Halls then said he considered it his duty to send the prisoner to trial for the forgery, and he was accordingly removed from the bar in order to his being committed to Dorchester gaol, to, take his trjal at tbp next assizes for the county of Dorset. UNION HALL.— During tile last month the idle story of a ghost appearing nightly at a house in Hano- ver- street, Walworth, obtained circulation, uud, . with ' the superstitious, credit. It seems that some houses iu that street have been recently erected and occupied; at ( he one i| i question lives a Mr. Grinsell, whose family lias byen al- most nightly disturbed, at the " witching hour of night," by ijqiscs proceeding from missiles, such as, stones, . pieces of brick, Sic. being thrown at the windows - anil doors. In or- der to detect, if possible/ the party guilty of this wanton spott, men liavtf'tt- g'nla'rly been stationed on- the premises; but although the1 windows wei'efrequently broken, and the iloors knocked, no discovery wns made by whom these things were done, until Saturday night— when Ann Page, lot in the slightest degree resembling the sweet Anne ; e of our immortal Bard, either in feature, or, it would seem, in disposition,— thesorvant of Mr. Grinsell, was de- tected in throwing a hot coal, through the window, into the parlour, iu which were assembled a small party of friends. On being accused of having so long annoyed her master and family, she uttered not a syllable in justification of her conduct, but inflicted a severe, blow on her own face, and . in short, committed such acts of violence, that it bccame necessary to restrain her, She was, however, quite calm when brought before R. J, Chambers, Esq. yes^ terday, who fined her 51., under the Wilful Damage Act, and in default of payment, committed her to Brixton for one month.
