THE LAW OF ARREST IN ENGLAND.

A curious circumstance, exemplifying‘the law of ar- rest in the city, occurred a few days ago. A mercantile house in Jamaica, having determined upon a speculation of shipping a large quantity of goods for the markets in ,Central America, engaged a German, who was proceed- ing to those parts on some business of his own, to under- take the managementof.the speculation. '1 he Germon accordingly proceeded on his errand, and the house. in Jamaica received frotn him several letters, announcmg sales from time to time made, until it appeared that near- ly 5000!. had been received, when the correspondence suddenly ceased, and the house could get no more ans- wers to their letters. Under these circumstances, the firm naturally became alarmed, and set on foot inquiries coticerning the German, when they learned that he had gone to New York, and, subsequently,’that he had sailed for England. They forthwith despatched one 'of their clerks for England by a steamer, which was fortunate- ly on the point of starting, in search of their party. The clerk arrived in London late on the evening of the 11th

' May, and on the following‘ morning proceeded to the house of the cot-respondents of his employers. The cor- respondents, without delay, accompanied him to their solicitors, an eminent firm in the city, and on. their way, to adopt means of frustrating the palpable object of 'the German, they were lucky enough to meet the ‘identical

erson coming out ofthe office of the Colombian Min- ing Company. A messenger soon learned that the Ger- man had called at the oflice ofthe company in order to obtain an introduction to a bullion broker, and that he had been referred to it Well known city house of that description. At this critical time the parties ran off to the bullion broker’s, who informed them that the German had left with them to be assayed a very 'hrge-‘quantity of bullion and gold dust, and was to call at two o’clock that afternoon to receive the value.' Application Was

of genius, whose works I knew be admired. He lisltened without displeasure to the tale of suffering, and l hat soon after the satisfaction ofhearing that the appeal had not been made in vain.

DISSOLUTION or THE DusLin CONSERVATIVE Soars“:— The Metropolitan Conservative Society has, for the reu- sous set forth in the notice calling the meeting, dissolved itsele Captain Shirer Ball, late hiin slierifi'ot Lotigfortb presided iii. the dissolution of the_society ; and V here is the sketch drawn by this gentleman ol the present pusitiongifh'ig party, so far as Ireland is concejfiiied:—“I shall not, Stilt Mr. Ball, “detain you now repeating what our opponents. and every friend ofthe Conservative cause in the ctty, are well aware of, but shall come at once to the thIGSIIOIlr—\y‘lly have the Conservatives of'Dublin lost all confidence iii Min- isters? Because, from the day they entire into power un- til this time, they have treated their must tried and Zealous supporters with ingratitude and contempt; because gentle- men who have expended their incomes and in many in- stances risked their lives, in fighting the battles of Conscr- vntism, have been marked as partisans, and excluded lroin Ministerial patronage and favour. The recent 'debate in. the House of Lords on the subject of the appollllmellt Ol stipendiary magistrates in Ireland must have attracted your attention, and every one must applaud the Marquis of Clan- ricarde for denouncing the appointment of a gentleman (Mr. .O’Brien) who but a short period past was 11 Violent Repeal- er, but having changed his politics, and Written some strongly worded epistles in the newspapers, condeiniiatory of Mr. O’Connell and the repeal agitation, was for this rea- son selected fbr 11 post of great trust in preference tonn- merous deserving candidates.

As might be expected, the German was punctual to his appointment, and on making his ap- pearance be was shocked and astonished at being grab- bed for the sum of50001. On being arrested, be ex- claimed, “ Hang dis England; half an hour more and it would have been all right.” He could not, of course, procure bail, and the only alternative he had was to make a full acknowledgment, and togive up the keys of hisl age, which, upon being searched, was found to conta 'bills and securities, amounting, together with the bullion and gold dust, to nearly the full sum for which he had been seized. The not less curious part of the story is, that the German arrived in London only a few hours before the-arrival of the clerk of the Jamaica house, and that both put up at the same hotel, neither of them being aware of the laws in qua of the other. The business of the clerk, it will be observed, was completed in the most satisfactory manner in two hours; and in less than two days from that of their arrival, they were both passengers in the same vessel for Jamaica—Lon- don Paper. ‘

THE LATE Ms. Bscxrosn.—For nearly half a century Mr. Beckford had withdrawn himself from society, and lived in a state of voluntary seclusion, as complete as that of one of the old hermits in the .desert. “Solitude,” says Lamar- tine, in his account of Lady Hester Stanhope (a woman for whom, by the way, Mr. B. had the greatest reverence), “soli- tude consecrates and strengthens all the faculties ofthe mind; prophets, saints, great melt, and poets, have wonderfully un- derstood this, and their dispositions naturally incline them to seek for it in deserts, or to isolate themselves in the midst oftheir fellow-men.” This was the case with Mr. Beckford. Few, with the exception of his own family, and sonic peOple of talent, ever approached him : in truth, be was perfectly inaccessible. It may well be questioned whether any indi- vidual ever united greater knowledge atid taste in all the sister arts. Born with‘mentnl powers superior to the gene- rality of mankind, these powers were early developed by the fosterng care of the first professors in the kingdom. Mozart was if rntisic master, Sir W. Chambers instructed him in archite ure, and an eminent painter ofthe day taught him the rtidimeiits ot drnwiuu. It will scarcely be believed that many justly admired airs were originally his composi- tion, and improved on by hlqzart and other great composers ofthe time. I have seen drawings done nearly seventy years ago (sketches from nature of Italian scenery), which for cor- rectness and delicacy would not have been unworthy n'regu- lar artist. He designed almost every building and piece of furniture he possessed. A lbw years ago an eminent urchi- teet showed him a plan ofn public building. QAfter the in- terview, he told me his astonishment at Mr. Beckford’s knowledge of the art. “I should have thought him,” said he, “a regular architect; when he saw the ground plans he told me in a moment the intended size ofall the apartments.” He understood thoroughly Greek, Latin, French, Italian

, Spanish, Portuguese, and Arabic, and conversed in many of thee languages. His writings in French are so admirable in style and idiom,that Vathek was long considered the work ofa Frenchman. The episodes ofthnt singular tale excited such curiosity in the mind of" Lord Byron, that he ofl'ered ghough then in Ital ) to meet the author half way. " Mr.

eckford would gratig him with the perusal of the; original manuscript. He wrote poetry in the energetic and nervous manner of Mith rind inUch of his prose contains the very essence of poetry. His collection of pictures contained se- lections of the works of almost every painter of eminence in all ages, and his judgment as to the originality of nctures wss tliabofa regulagdealer, and not ofa mere con seur. His house was one vast library, and there was scarcely a book that was not full ofremarks in his own writing. In conversing with him it was impossible to mention any work ofrepute but he knew all about» it, and could instantly tell where it was in any part of the house. His conversation was full ofnnecdotes of the great'people and distinguished characters that have flourished in the last century. You were startled at stories about Voltaire, Mirabeau, Neckar, Madame de Stael, Egalitc, Madame Beauhurnois (afterwards Empress Josephine), Gainsborough, West, Reynolds, and others of note, With whom he was in habits of intimacy. Everything he uttered, ifcopied down, would have read well; his writings published were exactly like his conversation. Mr. Beckford’s taste in painting was formed from contem- plation ofthe glorious works of the old masters. This cor- rect taste disgusted him With the daring eccentricities of the

, modems; but he was not insensible to the geniusof many of our livmg artists. Of late years he had added to his pre- cious collection many of the works of Roberts, Laiidseer,

thty, Lee, Barker, Cope, Lance, and others; and his ‘death may be considered a loss to living art, for wherever he ob- served genius he revereiiced it. Such was W. Beckford, qu.,.whoe daughter is a mother in the princely house of

Hamilton, and who, before he died, saw his grandson united

to ythedanghter ofn sovereign German house, the PrinCess - of. Baden ; yet in dress and exterior so plain and un- , ntatious, that in the streets ofithis polite city he might have passed for'a country farmer. Many were the private liberalities ofthis great man, but always administered with refinement and sensibility._ The last time I had the pleasure of seeing him, I told him ofthe necessitous state ofa man

Tris Jaws AT FaAsxronT.—The Commerce announces that a violent schism has arisen anioiigsttiie con'iuiunity of Israelites at Frankfort. Two-thirds ofthe community had separated from the synagogue, and had formed a separate sect. They style themselves reformers. They neither re- cognise religious ceremonies nor the fundamental laws of the Talmud. In their declaration of principles they declare that they will no longer circumcise their children, and they totally renounce the belief in a Messiah. Baron Anselm Rothschild, the bend of the celebrated banking-house at Frankfort, has declared it :lctermiiicil war against the new sect, and refuses to discount any bills bearing the signature of'auy ofthe new community. The afi'air has been laid be- fore the Germanic Diet. The sectarians are accused of fo- niciitiugr and concealing-in their religious formulas political tendencies subversive ofnnd pernicious to the state. ~Not- withstanding these accusations, the Senate of Frankfort llfltl declared warmly in favour ofthe new Israelites.

Convsnsmm 'ro Isr..iiiiis:\i.—-'I‘lie .dugsburgh Gazette, in a letter from Constantinople, of the 24th iilt., states that a whole Prussian family, which has lately arrived at Constan- tinople, has declared its intention to adopt Islauiisni. It ap- pears that one of the daughters ofthe family fell in love with a young Turkish officer, who was for sotne time in Berlin ; that she and her family followed him to Constantinople, where the young lady is to be married toltlie object of her choice; and the consequence is, that not only she, but all her family, are to become Mahomedans. The Prussian Minister has taken some steps to prevent the affair, btit tip- parently without effect.

I be ceremony was attended by a large congregation, attract- ed by the novelty ofthe occurrence and the religious pomp and solemnity observed on the occasion. Two shillings each admission were charged to the gallery, and one shilling to the pave.

.Pussrisn 1N SCOTLANn.—The Scotch I’useyite party have been attempting to erect a new Episcopal Chapel in Edin- biirgb, on the plea that it is required for the poor. The Rev. Messrs. Coventry, Ferguson, Jessop, and Suther have isstied a statement denying that the poor require any such accommodation, as the free seats reserved iii their chapels have never been fully occupied. It was understood that the projected chapel had the sanction of the bishop. Is not this, therefore, incipient schism?

JEWisri SYNAGOGUE.—-A synagogue in it style of splen- dour surpassing anything hitherto attempted in England, is about to be erected in the west of the metropolis. Sir Moses Moutifiore has contributed £5,000 towards the build- ing, on the understanding that the worship is to be accord- ing to the usages ofthe Spanish and Portuguese Jews.

Am‘iisccric EXPEnirioN.——Sir Robert Peel has granted £9,000 to asSist in the publication ofthe collection of natural history triads in Sir James Ross’s voyage, &.c.; one moietv to be expende‘d on the botanical, and the other on the zoo"- logical plates ofnew plants and animals.

NOVEL IMPORT.‘—A new trade has sprung tip in Hull, to

from Ireland arrived by railway at seven o’clock, with u thousand and forty ducks, which 'were in Liverpool at seven the preceding eveninv. He sent them out in droves of fifty in various parts of the town, and by Monday evening had disposed of the whole (excepting the. odd forty) at Is. a couple. The speculation was so successful that he imme- diately sent offfor a further supply.

In the Court of Common Pleas, last week. Mr. Elliot a gentleman of education and acquirements, the son of a Judge in India. obtained a verdict, with £400 damages against-one Allen and seven other persons, connected witli the. parish of St. Mary, Islington, for ptitting'him into a strait waistcoat, taking him to the parish workhoti'se, and‘ confinintr him there for the space ofii week. The reason alleged to? this imprisonment was, that the plaintiff, (who had ceri‘tainly shown great eccentricity,) was a lunatic, and dancerous to himself and the police. The trial occupied three days.

The race for the Derby, always an object of great‘interest to anumerous body in England, has been thisyear involved in sad perplexities. A horse—Running Rem—which, as far as the betting market formed an index to lllS‘niel'ltS, was long an outsider, was the fi come to the Winning post. A few days before the racedfiifn which vast sums ofrnoney depended, it was buzzed about that lie was not what was represented—u three-years old, and accordingly a, protest against his running was lodged with the stewards'by Mr. Crockford, a sportsman, the owner ofthe first favorite, who has since paid the debt of nature. The horse, however, was permitted to start; but,after the race, Col. Peel, the proprie- tor of'the second bore, Orlando, claimed the stakes, amount- ing to upwards of£4000. The sage beads of'Westminster- ball will have to decide mu the matter ultimately. The case is now in the lawyer? hands, and, pending the deci- sion, all payments on the race as regards the winner remain in abeyance. ‘

fleet in 1778, commanding the Thames; was present in Sir James Saumarez’s action in the Straits, in 1801; and, in the Standard, commanded in the capture ofthe Island ofAnholt, in the Baltic, in 1809; served at the defence of Cadiz, in 1811. His commission as Vice-Admiral of the Red was dated 10th Jan. 1837.

Three Regiments are shortly to proceed to the East Indies as reliefs. The corps selected forthis duty are the 53d Re- giment, the let battallion ofthe 60th Rifles, and the 61st Foot.

HAYTI.

A letter from Cape Haytien, dated May 28, represents that place to have been quiet for the lust fortnight. The Council of State learning from Port on Prince, that Rivere, or I'lc ‘ard, as he is called indifferently, had been deprived of all office, and Gen. Gerrier appointed President in his place, concluded to accept Gerrier as President of the North also.

The government is to be changed, and the several divi- sions ofthe Island erected into States,similar to those ofthe (United States. It is said that the proposition will be made.

to the Dominicans, tojoin the new government as a State, I which il'tliey reject, another expedition will be sent against ’ them.

i H. ll. M. frigate Spartan,36 guns, Capt Elliot, arrived here on the 16th inst. from Port au Prince, whence she sailed on ftlie 23d June. The officers report every thing quiet there. "The ex-President has been ordered to leave the Island, and (his kiusman Herard Darueslc, late president of the Consti- ltiieiit Assembly, has also been banished.

) Aux Cayes and the South generally continue submissive to the government of Gerrier, and no new expedition is at proseiitdesigned against the Dominicans, by whom Hernrd’s ltroops were severely beaten. Both men and horses are lsaid to have snfi'ered severely on' the return march, from ‘ hunger, nakedness, disease and vermin.

The Small Pox prevailedto some extent, and many sol‘ Idiers were left in the woods, their bare feet being so much ldisnbled by jiggers as to prevent them marching. It was lnlso found necessary to bandage the eyes of the horses to (prevent their being literally eaten out by a peculiar species IOI‘IIV which attacked thorn—Phil. Car.

The ex-Presulent Iierard fled on board II. B. M. ship Spartan, with a few of his followers, in the night, and the vessel immediately departed with them for Jamaica. The black General, John Jacob Acaan, had returned to the 'mountnins with his ragged followers.
