kk, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SI ANSION-HOUSIL only person that horse ,trampled on; his shoe and pan t dorms were tint; immediately afterwards the second horse came up, rode by the prisoner Palmer, at a much quicker pace twin the first horse; the two Brownes were then on the ground, and witness was sitting up; after the fall, the second horse trampled on the deceased over his eyes, or on has forehead, with the cock of the hoist? , shoe; both prisoners rode on at a quick pace toward• Thomas-street after the occurrence took place, winch was about 12 at noon; witness then to. k the deceased into Dr. P.issmore's shop, in High-street; decease.: survived only about three quarters of an hour. There were no saddles on the horses; they had snail! bridles on them; about two minutes elapsed from the time ' , witness saw the horses uti:il they came up; when wit ness cams out of the shop, he saw the prisoners at the shop door, having been brought back by some persons in the crowd; he ordered them to dismount; they remained in his custody until the return of a Gen tleman 'from the head police-office, with assistance.— Before the arrival of the police the prisoners seemed anxious to get away, but were prevented by witness, who went to Audeon's watchhouse for a constable, leaving them its custody of a Gentleman till his se turn, and when _he came back he perceived both . prisoners mounted and riding towards Thomas-street. Witness pursued them, and unassisted again seized them and their horses, and gave them all in charge to the police, who brought them to the head police office.. The deceased was, at the time of the acci dent, apparently in petfect health. He had in his hat a pocket-book containing bank-notes 'arid family papers, which, together wits his sons hat, were taken away by some person in the crowd, and never returned. The witness here identified the prisoners as the persons who rode the horses, and stated that Brown • rode the first horse, which threw witness and'his two friends on the ground, and the prisoner Palmer„rode the kecond. Cannot sAy whet: er the prisoners were sober or not Palmer Said his bone was running away with him. • To a question from the Court, witness replied, " It might be so." Witness and the twn Gentlemen were walking arm-in-arm within about two paces of the flags when they were rodenver by the prisoners. Juror—Was there sufficient room fur the prisoners to' pass without coming in contact with you or the other two persons? Witness—There was sufficient room; there was a vacant space of about six yards; if the prisoners bad contßiued at the same pace as when witness first saw th:m, the occurrence would not have taken place ; the second horse was about three or four perches behind the first when it happened. Mr. Marmion was cross examined by Mr.GRAYDON, but his direct testimony remained unshaken. Patrick Passmore, examined by Mr. STACK. con firmed this testimony ; the latter said he is a medical man; was looking through his shop window in High street, on Saturday the 6th of September last, when be saw two horsem , n riding by in a furious manner, as if they were running on a race course. Two officers were produced who gave the prisoners good characters, and the owner of one of the horses swore that it was a spirited animal and difficult to nsanage.—Bo - th prisoners were found Guilty. We understand the unfortunate Gentleman who thus prematurely met his end bad been a Captain Com mandant of the Cheshire Fencibles doting the war, and for the latter part of his life was a Captain in the 68th Regiment of Foot. He had reached the age of 77 yams, and resided near Celbridge with his family, who are highly respectable, and are now, by this severe visits tios,,plunged Into the greatest distress. Atli family consists of - a widow, fi ve daughters, and an only son, who, at we have already mentioned, is blind, and, as it will be perceived by our report, bad, as well as Mr. Marrnion, a most miraculous escape. • The Justice-room was crowded to excess yesterday, the final rumination of Mary atan Walters, who , stands charged with a robbery, and upon whose evidence a young woman, named .dits .

Mr. &evens, of Blsbopsyste, said, that a subscription was set en Met bar the ustonnitate Ann Crawley, and stated that the greatest =slaty prevailed that an immediate application should be made to the Secretary of State. The Prisoner was leaning so the bar, with her fate in her hands, while those statements were made. Mr. Humphreys appeared as her solieltor, and advised her not to say sword. She acquiesced. Tbo conduct of Mts. Baton and her daughter reflected the greatest credit upon them. Nothing could exceed their anziere that Arts Crawler:6mM be released from her unmerited inw pelseousant.

Two young meta. named Drains and Halls, were charged with stealing the following valuable books from the shop of Mr. Hodson bookseller, Mary •12-bonne•street viz. Dr; Granville's Travels in St: Prtersburgh, History of the Seven Years' War, Memoirs of the Duke of itovigo, and the Memoirs of Bishop Heber.. The books in question were stolen from Mr. Hodson 's shop on Tuesday even ing, and shortly afterwards the prisoners offered them In pledge at the shop of Mr. Aldous, pawnbroker,. of Berwick-street; but Mr. Aldous having'snme suspicion that the books bad been improperly obtained, questioned them upon the subject, and they stated that Mr. Hodson bad desired them to pledge the books and bring him the money. Mr. Hod-on was sent for, and contradicted their statement, and the prisoners then said t hat they bad received the books front a man to pledge, as he did not wish to p into the shop himself. They were remanded. WORSHIP-STRBBT. W Lewis was charged with .highway robbery. G. Bell stated, that about one o'clock on Sunday morning he was passing tbroagh Brlck•lane, when he was seri-minded, knocked down, and des. perately beaten by a number oi tellows, who raised him of his bat and 16s. On recovering hr passed into James-street, when be saw the prisoner with a hat in his hand, ?.intilar to the one he had lost. The fellow then struck him. and several others again beat him, till he was in a senseless state. The ruffians then threatened the watch . man, if he dared to come out of his box, sod the prisoner, When e:se rest were gone, attacked the watchman, who kept him at bay till a constable came to his assistance, and he was secured. Th e prosecutor was so greatly injured as to be :carried to the watcbhouse, and was then incapable or giving any evidence; but the neat morning de scribed the prisooertothe constable. and he was fully cotnntitted. LA Al BKIH-STRRET. W. Desoto was finally examined, charged with horse-stealing. It appeared that the prisoner on Saturday offered a horse fur sale in a horse slaughterer in Whitethapel-road ;• and he suspecting that it was stolen. detained both prisoner and horse, which turns out to be the property of a person at Kensington, and which was turned nut to grass on the evening on which it w, offered for sale by the' . prisoner, into a field near Hattle.bridge.—Fully committed for trial. A potter at the Spread Eagle Inn, Gramehurch-ureet, was fined 20s. for illegally detaining a parcel, which was sent by one of the stages to that s dice. UNION-HALL CLANDISTIPIC 51Aniataari.—A gentleman named Cook, attended fur the putptp.e of soliciting the advice of tl e Alagistrates as to. the heat mode of recovering a runaway daughter. The applicant stared that font days ago his daughter, who is only siltteen years of age, absconded from home unknown to her family ; and withke ° the last few hours be had ascertained that she had eloped with al man, and was residing at his house in the Dover-road. On dis covering her retreat he proceeded thither, •accompanied by &- friend; but the individual with whom she eloped refused to de., liver her up. or even to allow an interview. The applkant added. that he had every reason to believe they were not married. Mr. (*traumas said, that if the applicant felt confident that his daughter was not married to the person who bad her under his roof, he would be justified in making a forcible entry to get her back.—Clarke, the officer. then accompanied the applicant to the house where the young lady was staying ; and on the inmates briny apprised that he was an officer, they were admitted ; and the mo ment the young lady saw her father, she banded him the certificate of her marriage at St. Giles's Church; her husband at the saute time entered the apartment, and both solicited forgiveness; when a reconciliation took place between all the parties. WATEIthiEN'S—H ALL. Upwards of 120 more watermen were gbt ep before Mr. Driokald, the Master, and the Wardens and Assistants of the We tenures Company. • The offences with which the defendants were charged were chiefly abuse—not taking their title turns in landing passengers from steam boatr.arroskhig without names or num bers on their boats—carrying more pauengers than yes safe, ur than the law allowed them to carry in their boats. The fines were mostly 5.. 10s. tbs. For the second offence the lowest penalty was doubled; for the third offence the full penalty was billeted Only six out of the whole number summoned escaped punish ment. Nearly three hundred watermen were present, and the impression produced by previous rigour operated to the main tenance of better order than had previously been exhibited.— There was only one exception _to the generally exemplary conduct, and that was in a Waterman, who let loose his tongue in outrageous abuse of one of the beadles, for which. be (the defendant) will no deabt be punished the next Court. Three beadles are engaged riming abort the river during the whole day, to enforce the new sagallatiasta and take proceedings &pallet defaulters. Mr. Drinhald. the master, congratulated his colleagues that the Act would in all probability be in perfect operation, and the watermen brought into a habit of conforming to it, which smell be no less beneficial to disatirtves than to the public.

Capra, Nov. 3..—A race which bas extited extraordinary in terest in this neighbourhood, was decided on the Race Course this day, between West one of Lord Grosvenoes footmen and Lewis better known as the Antelope, from the neighbourhood of Dela: mere Forest. It was for £lOO aside; the distant. 160 yards. West is a fine sthledc young man, measuring nearly six feet; Lewis is much shorter and very slender. Hods prinks were sanguine, and betting was eyes at starting. The distance was run in 16 see. West winning by a little more than the diameter of his person. Many thousand persons were collected to witness the rlie, and the disappointment of Lewis's friends, who bad come to town in great numbers, is more easily conceived than described.

Larisilown, formerly a slave in Jamaica, who had come to Strompess on board the brig Traveller of Aberdeen, botusti for that island, and of which vessel he had been steward. The point for decision was, whether this in dividual, who lately came to Britain, and lived a short' time in. Aberdeen, could be obliged, contrary to his prepent inclinations, to return to a piece where he might. be claimed by his master,ami again subjected to slavery The Justices found, chat Lansdowb was entitled to the liberty be claimed ; and in respect of his ezpOsure to slavery should be return to the West Indict, and alsoin consequence of his not barring signed the ship's articles of agreement, found that he coo Pot be compelled to proceed thither without lite own COMM.

In the news papers it was inquired when the managers Ofthethe lire intended to give MoLtana's Tarityfr I and in the Riff • gerfreund there appeared a regular attack upon the Priest. His name was bawled nut in the theatre, and he received so many anonymous letters. that he wai obliged to get up an opposition party.

A Hoau.—During last week a hoax of the least amusing and most puerile complexion was attempted to be played off on the deuce's of Edinburgh. An Advertisement lately appeared in an Effinbutgli Paper, headed " To Single Ladies," in which the advertiser professed himselt reedy to enter the bands of matri mony with a young Lady in possession cd Mi. a-year ; and, that everything might be fair and caddid k be inti mated that he wonld be seen every day . last week sit ting on a particular seat On the Calton Hill, from twelve till one o'clock, dressed in mourning, and read ing a newspaper. This notice excited little attention s it was generally considered the production of a person who had some money and time to spare,, and who had such a plentiful stock of brains that he could not for his life stumble on any other mode by which they could be hat mlessly squandered. On Monday last. pre cisely at the appointesi hour, a very respectable Gentle manl)-looking person, in mourning, took his sea, pi 0- duced a newspaper. and sat the preset ibed time on the: stone seat tete/ern the Observatory and Nelson's Mo nument. On this day, however, this Nimrod—this " mishit hunter" of a Lady " possessed of 1001. a-yea'," was fairly beat at his own weapons. In a private pasty, a frolicsome bentleti.an, who had observed the notice, got a wager made with one of his fiiends, that he would not sit an hour on the day, at the time, in the dress, anJ near the place specified. The Gentleman (kit w ing nothing of the matrimonial advettisement) ap peated, pulled out his newspaper, and commenced reading, and instantly be was surrounded by scotes of, people. He continued to read and ruminate; and though Ise marvelled much at the almost spontaneous assem- Msge of such a crowd of gaping gazers, he could not possibly divine how he, so unostentatiously and so hat m -104 employed, should be the object of such a' partt cul ir scrutiny. On the other hand, the " Ladies joy, tbe darling boy," the •' real Simon Pure," appeared to be highly mortified at the intrusion, and sat aini scowled his time away and went off. .On Tuesday the " little ginkaowie took his seat, and was visited by an increased crowd. Among the spectators there were a few te- Males—sotne of whom would be candidate., of cows.; .but it must be Mentioned, to the credit ot the Edin burgh spinsters at large, that they kept their homes, and most of those who gauded their hour out on the ground, bore no distatic resemblance to the nymphs who figure at the bar of the Police C00n..0.t Wed-' nesday the Gentleman resumed his seat, as pet right of previous intimation. Several police officers 'attended, for the double purpose of apprehending thi, vex mid pro. Meting the tender green sward in front of the Obser vatory. Scarcely a sane of females appeared. Ac cording to the tales of travellers, few among them re sembled the natives of Circassia; and judging from their appearance, more of them were in pursuit of 1001. a year, than had that sum to bestow. When one o'clock chimed, he toe, pocketed his newspaper, and alter making a low obeisance—which was any thing but a gentlemanly bow—to the spectators, endeavoured to make his escape. The crowd, however, were not willing to part w.th him so abruptly. They followed him with huzzas, yells. Arid catcalls; and though he ran with the speed of an antelope, the crowd crossed as be crossed, circled as he wheeled, and kept him doub ling up'and down the hill like a hard chased fox for nearly twenty minutes. Though sorely exhausted. and theacifully alarmed no doubt, he scorned to imitate a recreant of oW, and cry " A kingdom fora horse;" but, running up to a police officer, he implored him to direct him to a public-house with a back door, so that he might in the meantime het some refreshment, and eventually give the slip, to his noisy followers. The officers promptly checked the' crowd, drove them back, and allowed the" gallant gay Lothario" to disappear by the Easter Road. Thursday bring the fast day, a large crowd assembled, b..t he did not appear, and he has not intimated whether he has found a Lady to his was faction, or was apprehensive of another chace...-Of this male monster we can give no account. He is a perfect stranger in Edinburgh. Some people say be is an officer of dragoims, who has a thousand pounds pending on the issue of his probation . ; others, that he is a Sir Benjamin Booby, an English Baronet, who lately exhibited him self, in the same way, in a church yard in London, and Who is really in match t f a moderately-dowered help. mate. If the affair is a mete sporting frolic, it is par atonable: it a serious speculation, the hero of it must be at.once an impudent and a worthless varlet.—Edinburgh U6server.. . At the smithy of Burn, .near Brechin, two swallows had for a number of years built their nest in the inside of Vulcan's domains—that is to say. in the roof of the smithy. This year the faithful pair, after migrating from the mote genial south, as usual, repaired their ancient domicile, and in due time five eggs were laid. It unfortunately happened, however, that in an evil hour, a horse, whose shoes the smith had been renew. ing, while standing in the smithy, immediately under' the beam on which the little snug tenement of the 'swallows was constructed, tossing up his head, de -1 Buoyed the nest and its contents, to the great regret of honest Vulcan. who had taken a mighty liking to his feathered neighbours. As the season bylliis time was or. tne wane, and the time of their migration at hand, it was supposed the swallows would not attempt to re construct their frail tenement. To the no small *tin piss, however, .of the width, on the following morn. ing, and after, no doubt, as the' event shooed, a consultation among the tribe, about a score of svral loirs.were observed busily engaged in constructing another iiest upon the ruins of the old one, which was completed in dm course of the forenoon.

The stell was discovered about fifteen years ago, when some improvements on the pier wete in ptogttn. A want of water was severely felt by the labourers, and as they were one day lamenting their scarcity of this cheap but invaluable element of nature, an 'old man suggested that they should dig in a certain spot, where, according to* immemorial tradition, a well would be fs•und.

Aaanuarov.—Mr. Abernethy is, without ex. ception, the most celebrated follower of Galen in Err. rope. Asia, Africa, or America. He is unique, peculiar, inimitable ; every body talks of him—most people abuse him, yet he is sought after with trembling and with fear, and not without eagerness; and his room is crowded every morning. as his card expresses it, " from May to October, Sundays and Thursdays ex cepted." How is this inconsistency to be accounted for ? -We think we can tell. Dining once et iris hos. pitahle table (ft r hospitable it is, and that, too, without ostentation), he was descanting, with his accustomed eloquence. upon the advantages of a public education for boys, when he concluded by saying, " And what think you of lion ? I think I shall s a d my son there to learn manners." "It would have bees as well, my dear." responded his wife. " had you pane there too." Now, much as we dislike to differ horn any Ltd), more especially from a Lady so highly gifted as Mrs. Abernethy, yet we must, on this measioor refuse our assent to her opinion. Mad Joha Abernethy been a polished man, we do not think that he would ever have been a popular one; indeed, it could not be. He would have been then one only of a cringing pulsersfeeltng race. with no other regard for the noble science of which he is so distinguished a professor, than its subserviency to his own personal interests. Abernethy and politeness are truly antipodes of each other; but, for those external, meretricious, and artificial accomplishments, which, after all, are useful in their way, he possesses qualities of so brilliant and sterling a character as to cunrtisute him a diamond, rough enough, Heaven knows—but still a diamond of the very first " water." We have -aid, that Mr. Abernethy is only occasionally restive, and we speak from the conviction of our own experience. We hesitate not to declare that, to us, Mr. Abernethy has always eppeasedfuU of whim and drollery, replete with agreeable information, always willing to lend an atten tive ear to necessary questions, and to impart that pro fessional knowledge of which he possesses such an CP tens'', store. But one thing he cannot abide, that is. any interruption of bis discourse. This it is, in fact, which so often irritates him, and so often causes him to snarl. " People come here." be has often said to us, to consult me, and they will torture me with their loag and foolish fiddle•de-dee stories ; so we quarrel, and then they blackguard me all about this large town; bi t I can't help that."
