The following is an extract from the Newfoundland Gazelle of the 29th of November :—" The British Board of Surveyors have reported that there are above '2.000 islands in Lake Huron." Yvaterd.ry evening, about six o'clock, a firs broke out tut the premises cf bit...Snot:max, a glover, in Basing lane, which raged with great fury for a short time, and considerable apprehensions were felt for the salety of the Gerard's-ban lie. YSOAS the speedy arrival of the engines, and the promptness of the supply of water,' however, the ptigswes of the flames was soon checked, and their ravage nesrly confined to the Itemises in which they easement:ed.

A few days ago, as some workmen in the employ ment of Mr. Ch adwick, the architect, were digging near the foundation of the jiew Trinity Church, they discovered a Roman vase of a very peculiar form. Shortly afterwards, the pickaxe struck against a vase of very considerable dimensions, which could not be accurately described ; but from an examination of pieces which were picked up, it was judged that it was about four feet high. Many fragments of Roman. pottery, chiefly of a light sort 4if stone ware, have been dug up there. It is• supposed that this spot is contiguous to that which Bagford mervions in his letter t.i Hearne, as the place in which a number of Roman remains had been found. Mr. Gwi't, the architect and antiquarian, has formed a small museum of the various Roman Antiquities which have been recently discovered in the betough of Southwark, by the labourers who arc em ployed in digging the sewers near his own house in Union-street, in which many Roman remains were found, and amongst them was a vessel of a singular shape, bearing some resemblance to a gallon stone bottle. The aperture is perforated with small holes, and it is evidently adapted as a sort ot watering pot acting upon the principle of the common implement used in taking samples of liquor from casks, in which the fluid is retained as long as the orifice at the top is kept closed by the finger, but from which it flews as soon as the finger is removed. It is conjectured by the workmanship, that the utensil is the Roman Silules. A Samian cup, and several specimees of Samian ware, were found near the same spot. S ,me of the frag ments resembled those dug up in Lombard-street, near Birchin-lane, is 1786. While some workmen were digging for the erection of a steam.eagine, at Messrs Barclay and Perkins' brewery, they found a human' , skeleton, between the legs of which they discovered a vessel containing several Roman coins, chiefl • o r the Lower Empire. Near the Dissenters burying ground was found a short time ago, a Roman bypocaust, or flue. In the, whole line of Union-street and Blackman-street, vat inus remains were discovered. On the south side of Sr. Saviour's Church, a Roman tesselated pavement was l dug up, by some of Mr. Gwilt's workmen; but he was, only enabled to remove a few fragments. A number of Roman coins were also found in the same place. A copper coin of Antoninus Pius, with a Britannia on the reverse, was found in St. Saviour's Church-yard. The head is in excellent preservation, and the execution is, perhaps, not excelled by any model n coin, certainly not by any of our own. In the course of the excavations for the new London bridge, a quantity of Roman mortar was found, which, it was conjectured, had be longed to some Roman embankment, which had fallen into the river at the same time. From the remains found in various places in the neighbourhood, it was conjectured, indeed no doubt seems to exist, although the circumstance is not mentioned in our histories, that Southwark was once a very flourishing Roman station. Amongst the works carried on in the course of the res toration of St. Saviour's Church, to the progress in which such absurd impediments have been presented by a party of the learned parish dignitat ies, a quantity of Roman bricks were dug up rear the Spiritual Court, and were ascertained to have been worked in with the flint in the walls. The grerer part of the anti quities have been collected and preserved by Mr. Gwilt. Indeed, his success as a collector has raised up many rivals, who narrowly watch the woi lc% carried on at any new sewers, drains, or excavations, in the hope of meeting with something curious.— The foremost of these is Mr. Gaitskell, the Magistrate ; but Mr. Gwilt has hitherto succeeded, and driven away 'all chance from his competitors by the act ot liberal rewards to the workmen. We understand he has ob tained one funeral urn, with an inscription which is likely to poze the Antiquarian Society. Every an• tiquarian who has yet been allowed to see it ha, given a different construction of, and built a different hl po thesis upon it. It is probable, that in carrying on the works of the new street., and in digging to form the improvements of the metropolis, discoveries may be made, which, if they come within the knobs ledge of the learned, will serve to elucidate the site of the Roman London, or Augusta, now a matter of such wide and wild conjecture. In forming the late new buildings at the India House, a considerable extent of ground was cleared to what was considered the Roman site, where a Roman road was discovered. Mr. Fisher, of the An tiquarian Society, who gave an account of the superb Mosaic pavement discovered in Leadenhall-street, in 1803, has examined the spot very accurately, and will, we presume, give to the society a paper on the subject, fully descriptive of kis discoveries. There can be little doubt that (irony antiquities have been destroyed or dispersed on account ot ignorance of their value, and that numerous Lite: esting remains, which might have furnished matter useful, perhaps, to the historian, have recently been broken up without having for a moment excited the least degree of curiosity. Bctlind Coidbath fields prison were dug up lately many piles, and some -tone-work, which appeared to he the vestige, ril a b. idge, of great antiquity. The mounds near old Pan cras Church, which were considesed by Dr. Stukdy to be the remains ot a Roman camp, and whichot is highly probable, notwithstanding the wildness of his other conjectures respecting it, were actually what he de scribed them to be, have been all obliterated by the hand of modern improvement. The Spitalfield's Ma thematical Society learning that the Roman Camp, in the fields beyond White Conduit-house, would soon be obliteratsil by the brick-makers, have had a drawing of it taken. We were yesterday led to examine a tomb in the vet y ancient church of St. Catharine's, which workmen are now pulling to pieces, for the purpose of forming the new St. Catharine's Dock. It was the tomb , of John Duke of Eietcr, who was, we believe, uncle to Henry V. and was with hiss at the battle of Agincourt. His skull is now in thelpossession of Mr. Compton, the surveyor. The cranium is small and retiring, which those who profess to be learned in such matters say, is evidence of royalty and legitimacy as well as of valour. The teeth are remarkably perfect. It would appear that his tomb bad once btrfote been opened and plundered. His will, in which he bequeathed to the high altar of the church " a cuppe of byrol, garnished with gold, perles, and precious stones, to be put in the Sacrament," and a number of other:memorials of the Duke, are to be seen amongst the town records. Canterbury Theatre, on Monday night, was much crowded by the Christmas holyday folks, to see the new Pantomime of Hoy Avant Tout. During the perform ance of this piece, Mr, W. Dowron, who performed the part of Harlequin, had the misfortune to dislocate his and.. In consequence the Pantomime has been withdrawn for the present. ~ii~ S 1,000 5,000 4,000 POLICE DITELLICENCE. - SIANSION-HOUSg. Mr. Deputy Vale and several other Members of Farriketion Ward Without, yesterday waited upon the LOAD Abatis, by ap pointment, to complain of a statement that appeared in the Morning Papers of Monday last, which, the former said, was a Leo.' calumny. The LORD MAYOR said, that when the Gentletnen who com plained to him on Saturday were in attendance, he abstained front expressing say opinion upon the subject, being rather anxious that the Gentlemen of the Ward should themselves suggest a remedy for the evils complained of. Mr. Deputy Vale said, the part of the statement he complained of was, that the Common Councilmen were alone to blame. He hoped, if the Gentleman who made that observation was present, he would come forward and substantiate his statement. No answer being made to this appeal, the Deputy said, he would make no fur thee remarks upon the subject, but treat the observation with the contempt it merited. He then stated that an increase of the Day Police was absolutely necessary, particularly in the vicinity of Tem ple Bar, which was well known to be one of the most dangerous parts of the City. Mr. Brown,, the Marshal, said, that there were formerly four Day Patrol in Fleet-street, but that, about two years since, the number had been reduced to two. The Loan Marna said, that an additional number of Day Patrol was absolutely necessary; but, iu his opinion, the fault was not so much orasioned by a want of a sufficient number of the City Po- lice, as the want of that co-operation between them and the Police of the Ward, in which they had latterly been extremely remiss. lie had also to complain of the late hours at which certain public. houses were allowed to keep open; and had directed Marchant, the officer, to bring him a report of the time at which each house closed on Wednesday night, or rather on Thursday morning; and, from that account, it appeared that twelve of them were kept open, serving girlie( the town with gin, icc. until half-past one o'clock, while the houses in the other parts of the City were compelled to elo•te at twelve. Ile admitted that there should be an exception in gard to houses in Fleet Market, which were necessarily kept open for the accommodation of persons who arrived there at an early hour in the morning. Mr. Deputy Vale said, that one of the houses complained of was kept open solely for the accommodation of Compositors, who did net leave the ptinting-offices until In early hour in the morning. The Loan Al•TOIL mid, he considered such persons entitled to refreshment when they left off business, but that they, and they only, ought to be admitted, and not every person who chose to apply for admittance. As to what were called Watering-houses, for the accommodation of firemen, Sec. several of the Insurance Offices had declared that they were quite unnecessary. Another evil complained of was, the number of prostitutes who constantly infested fleevstreet. Ile did not with to encourage watchmen to bring such persons before him, unless they were guilty of riotous or disorderly conduct, in which case he would certaifily punish them ; but he did not like their being brought before him indis ctiminitely, as he generally found that those who could afford to fee the watchmen, were allowed to escape. The present state of Fleet-street was such that no man could walk through it with his wife and daughters without being liable to insult. He also wished that the Common Council would do all in their power to put down the houses of ill fame in the Ward. blr. Deputy Vale assured his Lordship, that all his sugges tions should be attended to, and thus the conversation ended. H A TTON.G A RDEN. lllmmo on THE RZTREAT.—Jahn Sullivan, an emaciated and de crepisl old man, was brought up (supported on crutches) under a warrant, by Lea the officer, charg.d by John Williams a brick maker, employed at the brick-fields in the neighbourhood of Bat tiebridge (during the season) with having most unmercifully beaten him on Tuesday night, with his best crutch. For some time past the Office has been applied to respecting broken beads and such trifies e arising from jealousies betweeulinglish and Irish brickmakers, bricklayers' labourers, dustmen, &c. residing in the neighbourhood of Rattlebridge. It appeared from complainant's story, that during the Christmas holidays, the opposite parties at various public-houses, gave a happy specimen of " United Kingdom," when they proceeded to din. cuss politics ; but on Tuesday night last, when they all met, th e orators were so numerous, that at length, the landlord disco vered there Was no 01 Speaker," and adjourned the Committee sine die, or even a minute's notice. When all the members got on the high 'road, a row ensued, but complainant suffered most in the engage ment from the present defendant, who first struck him with his crutch over the head, and when he pursued him, made a retreat surpassing that of the "ten thousand,' and at length succeeded la laying him prostrate at his own door. Here the complainant's case closed, though his bead had open marks of violence. - The defendant's appearance, in comparison with complainant, who was an athletic man, was a most striking contrast; and when called on to account fee hitn.rif. he hung his head, and appeared to be under the double infitinity of being deaf and dumb. Almars —I think your Lice it familiar to me. Sullivan, suddenly recovering his senses—Yes, your Honour, you know L was in the Howie of Correction for fourteen days, for being a "running dustman." The Magistrate, at the request of the complainant, who seemed astonished at this phenomenon, allowed the parties to retire for an amicable arrangement. Tna PRIDE or BInTH.—Mr. Petrick O'Brien O'Loughlin, a very formidable-looking personage, was placed at the bar. It appeared that the prisoner had been after paying his respects to the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, and had received the sum of .Cl 4 106. in consideration of sundry heroic achievements done and performed by Wm on the plains of Waterloo. This was always a day of jubilee with Pat, and he never failed to celebrate it accordingly. Having on this occasion nade a very considerable lodgment with his bankers, Messrs. Hodges and Co. he drew largely on their agent, the landlord of the Grapes, in Turns:till street : each draught was duly honoured; but Pat, not content with this, and fearing, from recent events, a suspension of pay ments, demanded restitution of the original investment, without offering to make an allowance for the credits of the house. This was, of tours, objected to, and the Hibernian, losing all patience, swore he would make a banker of him ; and, despising the or dinary process of striking the docket, he struck at the window with such good effect that he soon created a breach sufficiently wide for half-a-doaen file of men to have gone in abreast ; he then commenced a similar attack on a porter butt, from which he would most un questionably have " extracted the juice," had not a constable stepped in and led him off in captivity. When brought up, though still labouring under the effects of his recent potation, he deported himself in a very becoming manner and pleaded guilty, but assured his Worship that it was all owing to the juice of the juniper, which, since his brains bad been blown out at Waterloo, always deprived him of reason. With respect to the windy, I can only say that I took some paws to get at the land lord, and I now see through my error." Alt. O'Loughlin, on undertaking to repair the damage he bad done, was discharged, with a suitable admonition. LAM BET [;.STREET. Jai w ansod, a vagrant-like looking character, was yesterday brought up for anal examination, charged with having stolen a trunk entrusted to his charge, the property of Mr. Simeon Isaacs, a Dutch merchant. The circumstances under which this roi,bery was committed involved not alone a breach of trust, but also be trayed a species of ingratitude of no ordinary description. Front the statement of Mr. Isaacs, it appeared that tlt• prisoner had for a length of time past (retreat the vicinity of his resi dence, in London, in a state of abject distress. The misery of his appearance attracted his (Mr. Isaacs) attention and front time to time be sued to bestow upon hint pecuniary assistance, and other wise contribute to his relief. Thinking, front his general de inettneur, but more particularly from the kindness he had shewn him, that be was trustworthy, and wishing to do him a service, be, on the Itth of last October, being about to sail for Amsterdam on the evening of that day, met him in the morning, and desired him to call at four o'clock in the afternoon at his roe:Ames, in or der to convey to the steam packet, at the Custom House stairs, his. luggage, (or doing which be was to have been remunerated. At the appointed hour be called, and a trunk and hat-box were de- Hewed to him; after doing which, Mr. Isaacs returned up stairs for • few minutes, thinking that the prisoner would still remain until his return; but when he came down, he found he had de parted. Supposing that be knowing the steam vessel in which he was *out to embark, bad goo. thither, ho hastened to the Custom House, and made every inquiry, but without elect; he then re turned, and searched the pawahrskers' shops, but here also be was unsuccessful, wadi be arrived at Mr. Price's,of Weatwonb.street, ' whet, he autenales4 that a person answering the description of the primate bad pawned several articles of wearing apparel, his property, a nd which were contained in the stolen trunk. The articles were produced which had been pledged at Mr. Price's, sad ideistifled by Mr. Isaacs. Poster, the oacer t proved the apprehension of the prisoner, in consequence of information received front Mr. Isaacs. The value of the property stolen was very considerable; it com prised two watches, one wvery valuable gold one, made by •Gaskin, i t to s o er of Dublin, belonging to a 13"1"nsinerutist °t,n:T.::...ck.,,,bu,:i:eshh::::ti,:: g a rlbe ba be tdiswon G ihn t i v: 9 o tr e e t: YThvta ci sen a s tP ate, erridl o ollytlt uagdaarnis,:thi,eipttt red :Iputhre,,eineeprunm'iraaiimbnurn,Pgii:"dunituTinlibr:„..usheiggltite ael i dde g ne wibrdt eu ß ins,T le niestalgedsolenibli be dieß ceh tt: a 7re"fri ! re e tnidligteaG .n r:ssidti i rallin e n.ttac d astselkacil"dh a l6M4" : l"gi t l eti rra nd r , .. deve l4 : llß l l lt i ra W p t'lli t t. tri P: : : e y tt ier h o erf t w vets7 sa tillaitt i d ionit 2t , l 7:l l, n e h ,l 49l: 6 : a ts bill l 2:ti: : . me meenill!:iteth, stealing a coat. as no trace Whatever could be discovered as to he* or velure tke dis coa dil t y w edarged a nesda s disp osed T osie e l n ot in , g Co l n ast ne: K w in a: wa for i vr em ant coil e y e, . in which question; ,m ppdkwanrooitnasokyowtheerihainil said e o i li abs i a n trr g eu w nib a cen s tobooirfnbetihsoneg kuthiant-dadt,wapanaldniie:sena nd x e l . 7 1 1 ii 1 e !! opening e oaa h ind o le: c ,hu ha ha rg rph z d ed : sin hiin uruni d w en n : f ht h n eu i v h c i et : s hid tga a r a t iu i 'fd n d c tt a h k el h t h she e h ei c i el li p lyrin harri p e e ac t ioneren i nit e on el di li a , t t hthe ha: in ra ti l he of e :: li : tu nt rip i ntsie : n , h , i , t ut, : : tt : , bled Most profusely, and there was cousiderai e :ether having used ari e aoit co aw . l 3 l , Th i . :: : a g i z d . k f ti nf : eni a h n i d in , i b n y il, th t c ;i: c it oni lli p 4: ::ni i rlts the lute of irrit.a:l..,l i said, that the assault was one of a or .! assaultedserious whichfalsely instrument ir. hivteoz,:dcwhbeaaa in tusrheesinua s ratn tr mivt i phe k ahagiarh i t n edii tore, particularly as there was strong r cs son to suspect that the wound under abialdobeene dricsuilmictstedneesiwiththeartarvri: must give hours' notice of bail. instrument oapriaer ofnl QUERN-SW ARE.

Mr. Pistor believed the timber to be his, but could not swear to it. The prisoner persisting in his former statement, which not being deemed satisfactory, he was ordered to pay a. if to partake of as pleasures of the Tread Mill for three months. UNION-HALL.
