He was apprehended, and , upon searching him, .6;-.1 Was found, loaded with ball, ta the 1)-:,!ches.

My dn'mg is have been several times 'P' 4 l :tad ill-ucated, for what :won I don't know. ercepting that I belong to the Lanca shire Militia. It was but the other night I was pushed off the kirb-stone, and nearly knocked down, and I am determined to defend my life. MAGISTRATE—What are you by trade ? Prisoner—l am a silk-weaver. MAGISTRATE—How came you by these pistols ? Prisoner—l bought them for twenty shillings, a few days ago. • MAGISTRATE—And how did you manage to raise the wind to buy them ? Prisoner—l pawned my watch for that purpose. The pistols were here produced by Mr. Nadin, as well as the ball, which had been taken out of the loaded pistol, and a powder flask, also found on the prisoner, nearly filled with powder. Mr. Nadin here observed to the Magistrate, that the pistols were town-made, and were worth more than twenty shillink. MAGISTRATE—HOW came you to fire the pistol ? Was that loaded too? Prisoner—No, that was not loaded, or I should not have fired it. MAGISTRATE—IS this all that yon have got to say for yourself? Prisoner—l bought the pistols to defend myself, as I tell ; that's all I have to say. MAGISTRATE—Have you bail here? Prisoner hesitated for a moment, and then.he said that he had no bail here at present, , MAGISTRATE—Then let him be taken down.— The lad was immediately taken down, and lodged in the prison. A man, calling himself a Special Constable, was brought up, and ordered to find bail, for having dragged a poor woman out of her house, and ,for having beaten her with his truncheon about the head and body. While beating her, the fellow cried out, " The Magistrates have given me a truncheon to use as I like, and, depend upon it, I will not be idle with it r The evidence of the poor woman, (whose arm was in a sling, so badly had she been treated), was corroborated by several of her neighbours, who were witnesses of the fact. The MAGISTRATE told the prisoner, that he had acted most improperly, in committing so violent and outrageous •an assault upon this poor woman, and that he must find bail for the offence. Not being provided with bail, the man was con veyed-to pains, till he could procure it. blissbeggar,. who has been in custody fotsomb ,days, wu brought w on Monday, charged with having grossly abund several, prsont; and crying out, " Hunt for ever r By the evidence of one of the o f f i cers, who had apprehended him, it appeared that, when taken up, he violently abused the man, called him all sorts of names, and swore at him terribly. As he was being taken to the New Bailey, he attracted a mob round him, by crying out, "'Hunt for ever I" and abusing Government. MAGISTRATE—WeII, prisoner, what have you to say to this charge against you ? Prisoner—Vt'ell, Sit, I was drunk that's all I MAGISTRATE—Take him down, and let him bel flogged, and then discharged. Another man, of respectable appearance; was then , placed in the dock, and charged with having cried out in the street, " There go two of Nadin's blood hunters ; they will murder any one they meet !" He was intoxicated when he said this. Upon the pro mise that he would behave better in future, he was discharged. Sunday night, at New-town, a place about half a mile from this town, the residence principally, of the lower Irish, a disturbance took place, which, how ever, was quelled without much difficulty ; and, we are happy to say, no material injury was done. Trade in this town is now very flat ; a great num ber of hands are thrown out of employment, and these poor wretches, many of whom have large fa milies to support, are compelled to beg in the streets, or to starve. COURT 07 COMMON COUNCIL.—The LORD MAYOR held a Court of Common Council yesterday, for the purpose of clearing off the outstanding business. The Court directed the CHAMBERLAIN to take the necessary steps for paying off ten bonds .of £lOO each, raised under the Act of Parliament for esta blishing the Coal Market. The Inhabitants of the Ward of Bishopsgate and Cripplegate presented Pe titions for a Subscription in aid of the Sufferers at . Manchester, which were read, and, after consider able discussion, referred to the General Purposes Committee to consider and report.—The LORD MAYOR presented a statement in respeCt of the con duce of Mr. Sheriff *PARKINS to one . of the Judges, at the Sessions a the Old Bailey, which was referred to the CoMmitiee on the office of Sheriff..:-.Mr. aRIFFITRamoved that the Thanks of the Court,' to gether with the Freedom of the City, in a box of heart of 'oak t .be givrt• to. the stoat Noble the Mar quis C AIIDIN, for giving up his Tellership—(See, Advertisement ),-A conversation ensued upon this, in the course of which, Mr. TAYLOR hoped, that as all were agreed in a wish to eipreSi their approba tion of the conduct of the Marquis CAnnw, in the most respectful manner possible, any altercation as to the mode should be avoided. He heartily COD. curred in this approbation, and only regretted, that during the long time which had elaPsed since this matter had been before the Court, there had been do instances of the same kind to enable the Court to. unite others with the Noble Marquis in this t estimon y of their respect. Unfortunately there were too many cases of an opposite conduct, which might serve as foil to that of this conscientious Nobleman; such as that of the Will of a Noble Duke, who had left as nuities to his younger sons, until they should be what wise provided for by Government! Such a Will woulel for ever remain a xecord of meanness and disgrace,. He trusted the virtuous and disinterested conduct at 1 the Marquis CAMDEN would never be forgotten.- The motion was then put and carried ; and the fol. lowing, on the motion of Mr. OLDHAM, was referred - Ito a Committee: " That this Court is of opinion, that, after the Court has bees formed by the presence of the Right !loos the Lord Mayor, arta a sufficient number of Aldermen and Commoners, the departure of the Aldermen does not warrant the breaking up of the Court, so long as there are not less than forty Members present." I I After the dispatch of some routine business, the LOAD Mayon thanked the Court for their attendance Idaring the year, and took kis leave of them, the pre. sent being the last Court at which his Lordship will atoetsct before his going our of office.—The Court ' hen adjourned. . . . , A1ii037124 I'AtIL_ILIEPLO9,OI, Or COAL DAMP. • Saturday last, three tremendous explosions took I place in Yells Pit, near Whitehaven, belonging to the Earl of LONSZIALE, and occasioned the death of twenty out of twenty-two unfortunate colliers who were working in it. Notwithstanding the most prompt assistance rendered by the stewards, aided by the in troduction of air-pipes, it was with the greatest dif ficulty that the bodies were approached—fourteen of which were removed on Sunday, and six on Monday. The two survivors, Patrick M'Avoy and his son, were only rescued from their perilous situation early on Monday morning, in a most deplorable state; but we are happy to add, that sanguine hopes are entertained of their recovery. On hearing the melancholy intel ligence, the Earl of LONSDALK sent twenty-two guineas to be distributed among the relations of the sufferers—one guinea to each family ; besides %chick, they will have dwellings rent free, and eighteen. pence a week from the fund arising from the colliers weekly subscription deducted from their wages. Of the cause of, this lamentable event, whether ;t was owing to the temerity of the workmen, or to the na tural dangers attending .the re-opening of an old pit, nothing is clearly known ; but the town looks forward with considerable anxiety for the result of the Coro ner's Inquest.—Whitehaven Gazelle. , .

DUMFRIES, OCTOBER 51, 1519. Oar gay week is just finished. We have had fine weather, and admirable sport. The name under which the Sporting and Fashionable Circles of this district used hitherto to hold their Annual Meetings was that of the Dunyiies and Galloway Hunt; but this year they have' assumed the title of the Southern Meeting, in appropriate contradistinction to the Nor thern MEETING of the " Heeland Lairds and Leddies," ' held usually at Inverness, Aberdeen, or Perth. Lady , DALRYMPLE HAY was chosen Lady Patroness, the Marquis of QUEENSBERRY, President, and the follow ing Gentlemen Stewards, viz. Sir Joint GORDON, Bart. THOMAS Calms - row, of A uchenskeoch ; ROBERT TAYLOR, of Broomlands ; and W. D. W. H. SOMER.. VILLE, of Fingask, Esqrs. We need not say, that under sach auspices as these the most spirited hilarity must have been, as it was, the order of the day. On Wed nesday, Thursday, and Friday, there were Races, some of them admirably contested ; and every night there was an Assembly, as well as Theatrical Enter tainments. Mr. KEAN was the grand attraction : he played successively, to crowded Houses, Richard, Othello, Hamlet, Shyrock, Macbeth, and Douglas.— The company, during the whole of this week, was numerous, though chiefly connected with this district. Ettract of a letter dated New York, Sept. 18 :- " The die is cast ; the yellow fever is proclaimed, and New York is declared a fellow-sufferer with her sister cities, Baltimore and Boston. Philadelphia is, as yet, -stated to - be free from the devouring pesti lence. The alarm which lately existed here is now become a woeful reality: thousands have -already left the city ; and in .a day or two hence the probability is, that the lower part of the city will be completely deserted, which, in fact, is in a great measure already the case. In Pearl, South, Front, Water, Hall, and Piste streets, with -all the intermediate parts, form ing the principal section of the town for business, not one store in fifty remains open. For the present, I many have located.themselves in the hikhest part of the town, particularly in Broadway ; but of those the greater number will follow the-current, and remove out of-town entirely. At Greenwich, a village abont i three miles distant, an attempt will be made to rally' and concentrate business. The Banks, Post-o ffi ce, and Auctioneers, will fi x at . it ; and there we must look•for business, if any is to-be done." •SEPT. 20.—" It is almost impossible to describe theuproar of the town to-day; all is bustle and con- 1 fusion; cart•loads of furniture and goods moving in every direction. After all, perhaps, the danger is deemed greater than it really is. But Mr. G. Aspin wall and one of .his clerks having been carried off, and the former being a man so generally known, and of such high standing, has tended not only to increase' the alarm, but to cause a general panic.' MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. —Thursday night, the 21st ultimo, at Clovelly, in DevonsLire, owing to the sudden storm, a fishing-boat was dashed in pieces, and seven men consigned to - a watery grave ! This occurrenceis much embittered by the reflection, that six of them - have lett behind them wives and twenty six children, to deplore the loss of their husbands and tender fathers. To see and hear the weeping and shrieks of the wives, children, friends, and neigh bours, beggars all description. Four of the sufferers belonged to Clovelly, two to Appledore, and one to Cornwall. THE Ar,litg S t --;.. DfttntY•Ltiest.-- r " 7%e Beggars Opera," perfortned last night, brought Mr. PEA rtstAtt before the Public in a very favourable light, as the representative of Maeheath. His voice filled the Theatre much better than his most sanguine friends could expect. _Miss CA REWwas very successful in many of the airs cf Polly. " CeaJe your funning,' was encored, and her efforts throughout were greeted with marks of pecu liar favour. Miss KELLY depicted the spite, impetu osity, and love of Lucy, with great strength and hu mour. And DowroN, leueuzar, and KNIGHT, in Lockit, Peachum, and Filth, were all that could be wished.—ln the second act, where Miss KELLY, as Lucy, exclaims, " but here comes my father," some disappointment was experienced from Lockit's not entering. She waited for some minutes, but -Mr. • DowroN did not come on, and having curtsied to the audience, she at length withdrew. The Stage was now left wholly unoectipied. While Miss KELLY re mained on the Stage, the audience indicated their per ceptioa of the mistake only by plaudits, intended to assure her of their conviction that the was not to blame. After she had retired, they became very in dignant, and cries of " shame!" were heard from the boxes and the pit. DowroN now entered with M 1314 DEN, and attempted to proceed with the Play, but they were unable to do so, from the opposition of the audience; and the former Gentleman found it necessary to address them in his own person. He advanced to the front of the Stage for that purpose, but was met by calls of " Manager," " Manager." Partial silence being obtained, he declared himself at a loss to know what had excited their displeasure. . The cry of " Manager," was here repeated, and se veral voices called out "No shuffling." Mr. Dow , r.os then went on to say, that their displeasure had certainly not been called forth by any error on his part. The Play had been curtailed, and of this the Public might not be sufficiently apprised, and hence some confusion might have arisen. Some satisfac tion was here expressed, and the Actors were called upon to proceed. Mr. DOWTON begged to assure.tte House, that on no occasion had he been absent from his duty. The Play was then resumed, and peace was restored. " Three and the Deuce," and " Two Strings to yohr Bore," closed the evening's amuse= ment, with a rich display of humour and versatility, from ELLISTON, MINDEN, HARLEY, and OXBERWL. COVENT GARDEN.—Last night SH AKSPEA RE'S Play of The Tempest was performed, for the first time during the present season. The only important no velty in the cast was in the character of Ariel, which part was sustained, for the first time, by Miss TREE. This young Lady continues to improve pro• gressieely in her profession, and each new character which she assumes gives her new claims to the favour of the Public ; and she sustained the cha racter in a most effective manner: her songs were given with a sweetness and judgment which pro !cured her the loudest applause from the audience. I —Mr. TERRY'S Prospero was a very respectable pc.? - 'formance. ABBOT rendered an interesting portrait of Ferdinand. EmEtty' s merits are so we ll' know: n in the character of the non-descript monster, Caliban, that any allusion to them here is unnecessary : ha.. never played the character better. The Play went off well throughout. The House was filled at half-price. THE EAST LONDON NEW THEATRE—lately The loyalty—opened last night for the season, under the management of Mr. RAE, .late Manager of Drury - - Lane Theatre. Long before the opening of the doors, the avenues were crowded with people press ing for admission, and the curtain rose to an over flowing audience. The Gallery alone contains 1,200 persons, and was completely filled. On the rising of the curtain, the Vocal Corps came forward, and. the loyal air of " GOD save the King" was sung in ex cellent style. Mr. RAE then came forward and apo logized for a deficiency in the lighting up of the House, which he attributed to the pressure of time. The apology, indeed, was unnecessary: there was no s , defect in the preparations that could in the slightest degree mar the pleasure of the performance. A beautiful chandelier, lighted with gas, suspended from the ceiling, shed its lustre through the House, as in the Winter Theatres at the West End of the Town, and left nothing to regret as to light. The company are very strong in talent, and their exer tions were crowned with lctud and universal applause. At the fall of the curtain, the House resounded with continued and reiterated peals of applause. They were renewed with increased effect, when 'Mr. RAs: again came forward, and announced the Entertain ments for the present night. The 'Theatre has opened with every prospect of a most prosperous season. The Hon. GEORGE ANSON and the Dowager - Lady AresoN left town yesterday, on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. COKE, at their seat in Norfolk. A Correspondent states, that in travelling through Syria he received much politeness from Lady HtsrEa STANHOPE: she resides at Abra, six miles above Sidon, is styled " Princess," and has teat influence. She enjoys good health, aid has no intention of re turning to England. Her stud of horses are, per., haps, the most beautiful in the country. The Chalicellor FITZGERALD, and Mr. SAURIN, are highly offended with Mr.G RAN r (of Irelan Ll)r passing afew days with Mr. GRATTAN at Tinnehincb: They are fearful, that under the present ,*umstances of England, it may be thought prudent to secure the affection of the Irish by granting emancipation, and putting down all party distinctions. ° They say, that it is not a Statesman who is wanted to govern Ire land, but a man who will join them in opposing the emancipation of the Catholics, and keeping all the loaves and fishes to themselves !--(7l4.lrishntay.) • _ HAZARD and CO.'s sales continue to increase daily, which proves the prefetenee given to their Old Esta. blishment, and the popularity of the present united Schemes, containing Eight Twenty Thousands.— Next Tuesday the two First-drawn Frizeksvill be entitled to '1.:i0,000 each (Money and Consoro ; and it will be recollected,.
