AGAR'S PETITION. - . FROM BOWRING 5 HYMNS. ' If we may breathe a prayer to Tress, Our FATHER and our friend, Let neither wealth nor poverty Our earthly steps attend ! But Tatou, who knowest all, dust know, Andes whom—kindest—best ; We at Tile fret our off'rings throw, Do THOU direct the real ' Tuou cant not grant our td:e prayers, When evil they intreat ; Though urg'tl with sighs, implor'd with tears, • Tee mercy is too great! s THOU wilt deny Us, FATIMA ! nought good, or hind, or right, Though never ask'd, in word or thought ; Tim love is infinite !' WATCHMAN'S LAW. —Nap-- Quin custodiet ipsor custodes Since the late decision in favour of the ambulatory Magistrates of the Lan horn, these sagacious func tionaries have been determined to shew that they can appreciate the high powers in them vested. In pur suance of this determination, Mr. Burn Dale, watchman of MAry-la•bonne, made his appearance yesterday at Mary-la-bonne Office, to substantiate a charge against a couple of Gentlemen.one bearing the Milesian and euphonionk name of Timothy El Higgins ; the other the bacon devouring and John-Bullish appelation of Joke loz.ighman ; the for mer of whoin was accused of having broken the peace of his Majesty King George IV. by being disorderly.; and the latter of having insulted the dignity of Mr. Burn Dale, by insinuating that he was drunk, ar.d giving him the opprobrious title of " a Brute." How the offence originated the guardian of the night did not clearly make out ; but the head and front of the offending of Mr. Timothy O'Higgins was his having, IA a conversation much more spirited than affable, threatened to have Charley deprived of his coat. The threat about his coat raised. Mt. Dale's choler, who, though in all probability an unu why member of the Church of Rome, resisted the imposition of hands as if he were a Canieronian Elder. During the scnflle, Ploughman, who came up, apreared to think he ought to have a share in the hash, and waxing indignant, te m trked.to Mr. Burn Dale, that he was a brute. He soon found that he had. better have never " dabbled Kith this Burn''—for Charley put his rattle in requisi tion, which. like the Mountain of Adamant in The Arabian Aights' Entefiainment, drew to it a sufficient force to nail poor Ploughman safe in the " Donjon Keep" of Mary-la-bonne. Well, said Mr. GRIFFITHS, is this all you have against Ploughman? Has he only called you a brute? ifthat be all you were very wrong. I have often told the watchmen that they had no right to confine people merely for abusive language. Mr. Burn Dale seemed to think by this observation he had got into the wrong box; hut immediately came to a double recover, and put a ruler on the original bill of indictment. The thoughts of Hodges and Co. in spired him with a charge, and he ejaculated— But be was drunk, your Wership ! Will you swear that? said Alr. Griffiths. Faith, then, if he wasn't drunk he was tipsy. Ansster the question, will you swear whether be was drunk or sober? _ _ Why dun, for the matter of that, VU swear be was fresh. ♦Vas he tittuk? said the pertinacious Magistrate. Poor watchy was here hard put to it. He looked a little wistfully at the book, but at last screwed his courage to the swearing point, hesit,ted awhile, and at ,last pronounced his verdict that Plnughman was drunk. This, however, the constable of the night, on being appealed to, most positively denied,• and Mr. G merino, after a little further investigation, concluded the case by dismissing the prisoners and suspending the w.►tchman, who looked not a little astounded at finding Mr. Timothy Oil - Li:gins: threat so speedily verified. We have reported the above trumpery case, and one cu two others c f the same kind, to show the absolute necessity of a rigid surveillance of our watch. who te..:ly are becoming one of the greatest nuisances of cur greets.

Upon this occasion he asked two ladies whether they were going to clapton, and when answered in the negative, be abused them. The witness expostulated with him, and immediately re ceived a blow for his pains. - The blow was evenrepeated Wet' * fellow was put under • the charge of the watchman. The LORD Mayan, after some rentatka upon the general Ng conduct of all persons employed about stage coaches, orderkkifie defendant to find bail. .Mn Couland, the driver of one of the Blackwell stage coaches,' ' was charged with having assaulted a girl named Ann Johneoln The girl stated, that a few nights ago, about twelve o'clock, she got on the outside of a Thickwall stage, and the coachman having begun to drive, the defendant tnok. his 'seat beside bee, used very abominable and abusive language, and began to pull her about. This treatment she resisted; upon which be struck her, and dragged her about as if she was a wild beast. The Lose MAYOR ordered the defendant to find bail for the assault, assuring him, at the same time, that If be did nbt come to some accommodation with her before the Sessions commenced, the Bench would mark their sense of his brutality. Peter Turner was charged with stealing a box, containing wear ing apparel ; and William Ihdde with attempthig tq rescue him tram custody.. Turner, in defence, said, the box belonged to his brother. and that he had been to fetch it front St. Paul's Church-yard; that when the watchman stopped him he produced the key, and told him the contents; and although, on opening it, his account was found to be correct, they detained hint in custody all night. The Loan Ma ton asked the complainant if the defendant's state ment was correct, to which he replied in the affirmative. The Lott, Mayen indignantly said, 4 ' Then you ought to have discharged him immediately."—Discharged. Mr. de Pinna, a Notary, accompanied by four Spanish Gentle men, waited upon the Loan Maroe, to request his signature to some affidavits. His Lordship, finding they were written In the Spanish language, declined signing them; as, not being acquainted with that language, he was not aware of their contents. Mr. de Pinna stated, that a Spanish Officer was now lying in prison at Madrid, under sentence of death, charged with having taken part in one of the recent disturbances in that country. and that the de. patents, who witnessed the transaction, wished to make oath that be was not engaged in it. The Spanish Authorities had agreed to dispense with their attendance at Madrid, en their making the above affidavits before his Lordship ; and, as any delay might en danger the unfortunate Officer's life, his Lordship would net re fuse to sign them. This appeal to his Lordship, who is always forward in the cause of humanity, was elected ; and on Mr. de Pinna reading's trans lation of them, they were signed forthwith. IM GUILDHALL. Bartholomew Fair continues to supply charges for the sitting Alderman. James Mews, a very ill-looking fellow, was charged with stealing slew-wontan's money-box, containing the whole of the day receipts. Hunter, a shewman, saw the prieoner -weeping out from under his caravan, with a box concealed with his body. John Jones, who bad a 'hew near the first witness, stated that the box wis his; and that the box with the day's receipts, amount ing to 31. 17s. was placed in that teat after the day's 'hewing was over, and was stolen from it. The prisoner being called% on for his defence, said be bad found the box under the caravan.—He was fully committed for trial. A young man of rather decent appearance, was accused by a 1 young woman of having cut her pocket as she stood in a crowd In Wombwell's tent admiring the lions, and taking out of it ten situ. lings and five farthings. She immediately gave the alarm. and be, and a person who was with him, were taken into custody, and in.. mediately searched; there was something more than the amount of silver she had lost found on them, but no knife nor any farthings. Several persons gave the defendant an excellent character, and on inquiry it appeared, that the contplalnast did not stand equ ally well in that respect, and the defendant was in conseqoence discharged. Mr. Richard Martin appeared to prefer a charge against the driver of a cabriolet, for wantonly beating his horse on Sunday last in Cordial. The Hon. Gentleman stated, that since taking out the summons he bad inquired into the defendant's character, and found it was good, and that he was not in the habit of heating the horse be drove, and would, therefore . with the Aldesmanli permission, withdaw'the charge. The Alderman complimented the Honourable Gebtlentan en his humanity, and the excellence of his Act, and coturnted to the chaste being withdrawn. bk. Martin complained of the attacks made on him in the Morning On o ilds. and said, if the Editor, or any one else. would point out to hint any act of cruelty ptac:hed by a rich man, be would bring him to justice sooner than a poor man. He was in the constant habit of inspecting the King's stables, and never saw horses treated with more kindness; indeed, so great was his Ma jesty's humanity, that when be beard that Townsbend, the Police Meer, bad committed an act of cruelty. he would never permit him to attend at the Palace till the matter was cleared up. He declared that the Editor of the Morning Omni& should an swer for his abuse of him before a Jury of the country. BOW-STREET. Dumas st. rug Comae Baszsisr.—This was a proceeding against the Countess of Berkeley, at the instance of the contracting scavenger for the parish of St. Ilartin-in.the-Fields, for having per. muted her servants to carry away from her house In Spring-gardens a qsantity of coalinshea--to the injury of the said contractor, and contrary to the statute. Her Ladyship appeared by ber solicitor, and the offence having been proved, he submitted that the Countess sinned in ignor ance, and not intentionally. Sbe knew nothing eithter at the statute or the cuntractor ; her hoods in Spring-gardens-was so enclosed that 1 1 the sound of the dustman's bell could not be beard within it, and, as no dustman had ever applied to take away the ashes, &c. she had for several years past paid .415 per annum to a person foe' taking it away; but latterly she bad caused it to be removed to her' seat at Cranford, for horticultural purposes; and the was quite ig• natant that she was transgressing the law by so doing. _ Mr. Murantna. said be had tto doubt dd. statement was a tree' one, but ignorant* of the law was no justification. If the bell of the' dustman could not be heard by her servants, they might have ewer the contractor notice to remove the ashes, and if they were dot to moved in twenty-four hours after, he would be liable to a penalty of forty The contractor said he paid nearly Alpo() a year for the dust and ashes of St. Martin's parish. and of course he and his servants were as vigilant as poasibk to carry away the whole of it. Her Ladyship was eventually convicted in the usual penalty of £lO with costs; and her solicitor, upon paying it, observed that the contractor would get more by the pinalty than be would by the ashes of her Ladythip's house for gnarl to come—the quantity made there being so very trilling. This being the period of Bartholomew Fair, several journeymen fringe-makers, apprentices, and others, were brought before the klagistrate, for absenting themselves from their work. The lenient course of suspending the warrant, upon good behaviour, was taken towards those who :hewed symptoms of penitence. ATTO G A ADS N.

The fol lowing evidence was adduced in support of the charge: ' Mr. White deposed, that on -Toesday night, as the prisoner waist work, he said to Idol, •' My briber is more fortunate with this check than with the first one he found, as he has got it changed, and has received four .C2O notes, and the rest of the money in gal."— lie - therefore conceived it to he his duty to give thiS information, I hoping that it would lead to a detection. This assertion the prisoner denied, observing that he knew ow thing of the transaction before be was told of it by his mistress; that they were certainly talking about the draft, when, ina sort of bombast, he might have made the observation. To prove how little he was in any way connected with - the case, he was willing to go with the ofilcer to the banker's, or elsewhere, to see if any person I could identify him ; or he would, as be heartily wished to hove I done with it, go to his brother, and endeavour to get what informs. We he could from him. Mr, Dent observed, that as the case was adjourned by Sir Geo. nature, they had better defer entering into particulars. The prisoner was remanded.

Baker said that I knew nothing about the time, and be had got the original arti cles, signed by me, in his pocket, and he could prove that it was not seven years ago. He took a paper out of his pocket and pointed to niy name. I told hint it was a forgery, and he offered to lay me a bet of five pounds to one, that it was my hand-writing. It was Weed that Cribb" should bold the stakes if I instantly dubbed down my five pounds on the table. Baker seised the money, and went off with it."
