TURTFIRR PARTICULARS. Yesterday morning, at half-past, nine o'clock, the Gentlemen employed in the Long Room at the Cu,tom house, were suddenly alarmed by nearly the whole of the centre part of the room, from the fire-place at the east end to the clock, giving way, and leaving a space of sixteen yards by ten completely open. As it occurred so early, it fortunately happened that very few of the Agents, or persons upon business, w e r e present. All the Clerks belonging to the Esta blishment were in the room, but their desks being placed at the sides, they escaped injury. • On the floor giving way, t he consternation became general, and each person seized his books and securi ties, and conveyed them to the lobbies adjoining. Two Gentlemen had a very narrow escape from destruction. Mr. Clark, of the Warrant Office, finding -the floor going from under him, made a spring, and seized hold of his desk, just in time to prevent his falling in with the rubbish ; another Gentleman was thrown upon his hands and knees, and had to scramble for his life. The Secretary to the Customs was present, and promptly issued orders for the different entrances to be imme diately closed, and adopted arrangements for the secu rity of all the official documents. A large party of the police soon attended, and kept the accumulating crowd from interfering with the property. Between three and four hundred tons of stories, bricks, and rubbish, fell upon the top of the King's Warehouse, which in stantly gave way, and the whole went through to the foundation of the building. In the King's Warehouse and the • cellaring, from forty to fifty clerks and la bourers were employed; and so sudden and unexpected was the fall of the flooring, &c. that they had scarcely time to escape; but the only injury sustained was by one of the labourers, who received a severe blow from a brick on the head. The force and weight of the rubbish were so great, that two of the principal pillars in the east cellar were completely forced away from their position. Only one of the round desks in the centreof the Long Room, where the Cii , toms Agents transact their busi ness, fell in with the ruins. The Commissioners instantly issued an order for the suspension of all business for the present, and the con fusion and disaprointment evinced by the merchants, on hearing of the accident, were beyond description. The outer walls of the building appear to be very grin, but the foundation having given way some time since, preparations had been made for securing it. An immense quantity of timber has been lately brought to the Custom-house Wharf for the purpose, and in a few days the alterations were to have commenced. It is a providential circumstance that the accident occurred so early in the morning; forbad it happened in the mid dle of the day, when the Loog Room is frequently crowded with men of business, tire loss of lives would, no doubt, have been very great. Every•measure will be, doubtless, taken to prevent, as much as possible, inconvenience arising to the mercantile interest in con sequence of this very serious accident. Proper inquiries will also, we are persuaded, take place, in order to see where the blame, if any, rests—whether from the mal construction of the building itself, cu the badness of the ground for its foundation, which is likely to produce so • large au additional expense to the nation. As soon as the Commissioners arrived, they con stituted a Beard, at which Mr. Smirke, the archi tect, attended, .when the necessary orders for the secu rity of other - parts of the building were given, and nearly one hundred men were instantly set to work in shoring up the remaining arches. The pier in the cellars, underneath the King's Ware. house, it is said, has sunk nearly three feet. The King's Warehouse contained no goods of value, they having been removed when the repairs were first thought ne cessary ; for the same reason the cellars (the receptacle for the wet goods) were also empty. Accounts from Ceylon state, that the season there had been very bad, and a great deal of sickness had ptivailed. Many of the inhabitants h.td died of fever, and the native population had suffered considerably. The comineice of the place had been rather impeded by this event. General MILLER, whose name is mentioned in the accounts respecting the battle or sitppo,.ed action be tween Bolivar's army and the Spanish force-, was a native of Witigham, about six miles from Canterbury, where his father was a respectable baker. He sonie time since entered as a volunteer into the service of Co lombia, in. which his skill and bravery rapidly raised him to the rank of A General. The report of his death is certainly unfounded, -the battle in which he is stated to have been killed, never having been fought.

T ~lf ~' ~~~ .w • • POEICr aI'ILLIGEATE. , • DI ANSION-HOIJSIL Clarks May, an Attorney, was brought bef o re the Loan MAYOR, charged with having defrauded Messrs. Clifford and Shaw, of the Temple, of the sum of ,as under the following circumstances. )Jr. Clifford stated that the defendant walked into the witness and his partner's shop, which is a law-stationer's, and said he -wanted a thirty shilling stamp. He said he knew Mr. Shaw, and that he wanted the difference between £5 and the price of the stamp. Mr. Shaw then entered the shop, and the defendant int. mediately said to him _ " Ab, my good friend Shaw, how do you do ? I want a stamp for upwards of .00, and you must give me change of a checque for £5. Mr. Shaw said he knew Mr. May by sight, and not doubting that he was a respectable man, did not hesitate to give the stamp and the change of X 5. The defendant told him he hugged at Sir -John Pinhorn's house, and gave him sechecque accordingly. When the checeue was offered at tke counter it was refused, and the witness was told that Mr. May was in_the habit of mewing himself in that way(tueaning 'le drew upon the house without having effects). Dlr. Weston, a partner in Sir Juhn Pinhorn's house, stated that he did not know the defendant personally, but he knew that the defendant kept cash at the house four years ago. Witness was positive that as long ago as that time the house refused to take the defendant's money, no account of his having kept his accounts so irregialArly. There was, he believed, a balance due to the &fen dant of eight shillings, hut since February, 1820, he believed there had been no cash transaction with him. The defendant here declared that the house had never refused to receive lifs money. Mr. Weston stated, thit the money had certainly been related, but whether over the counter, or whether notice had been sent to the defendant - to that effect he could not tell. The prisoner said, in his defence, that he believed he had more money at hie bankers when he gave the checque than proved to have been the fact. He also stated that he had expected the sum of at 7.00 immediately after, which k was his intention to pay in at the banking-house, and hich would, of course, have prevented any disappointment to Messrs. Clifford and Shaw. As for the sum of £5, he could have easily raised it had he been driven to ex tremity, and could never have entertained a thought of defrauding. The LORD MATOS said, it would be fora Jar , to decide wise ' tber the defendant had given the chccque to Mr. Shaw with a consciousness that there were no effects to meet it with at the bank. ing house • and bound over the complainants to prosecute at the nest Sessins. Yesterday an information which was exhibited against Messrs. Bogges and Savage, corn-factors, on the 4th instant, for making a false return of the quantity of con sold by them, and adjourned in sonsequence of the non-attendance of the defendants, came ea to be heard, when Mr. Law, as Counsel for the defendants, stated that they were not in attendance, and that their presence was un necessary, of which he cited several cases. Mr. Bourn., for the prosecution, said be should, before be proceeded to rebut these arguments, call his witness, and if he was not in attendance, be 'would withdraw the information. lie. George Walker was then called, but did not answer. Mr. Bottum said he should withdraw the information, but that the defendants would be proceeded against on other cues is another Court.—lnformation quashed. BOW-STREET. The Chief Magistrate of this Ofike, yesterday morning, soon after he had taken his seat, expressed in strong terms his disapprobation of the conduct oldie officer, whoever he might be, who was stated to have dragged a Gentleman from one of the boxes of Drury-lane Theatre on Monday evening, during the contest created by the appearance of Mr. Kean. He hoped that no officer of this esta blishment had so misconducted himself, and be could hardly believe that it was, because he on Monday gave positive orders that not one officer should be seen within the house. He was determined, at all events, that the offender should, if possible, be identified and properly desk with. The three parties of patrol who were ordered to be in attendance on Monday night, were then sent for, and the conductors, and as many of the men u could be found at the moment attended. Sir R.Beasse said that his orders on Monday were, that they should be in attendance at this office in case of a disturbance at the doors of the Theatre, and that thuhe ct uld, on no account, enter the house unless they had farther ions from him. In the evening, Mr. Winston, the Stage Manager, came to him, and represented the crowd to be so tremendous , th at there was reason to apprehend that the money-takers would be overpowered ; and be then ordered one officer to be stationed at each pay box, to assist the money-takers in the necessary performance of their duty ; but with directions to leave the Theatre the moment it Was filled. It had been stated to him that some of the men had been seen in the lobby of the Theatre during the performance, and he wished to know how it was that his orders had been disregarded ? One of the conductors said, he believed that Mr. Winston, ap prehending a tumult, had taken some of the officers into the l obby, after the house was full. - . Sir R. Banana observed, that Mr. Winston had no proper autho rity to de any such thing. The Public were divided upon a ques tion arising out of recent transactions in which a Public Performer was said to have bad a principal share, and the Public alone were the fit judges in inch a matter, and must be left totally free and uncontrouled, long as se open violation of the peace was com mitted. The police should not lend itself in aid of the views of any Manager, or any other person or party. The duty of the officers was to keep the peace and to that their duty as regarded the present matter must be saltily confined, or heavy consequences would fall upon them. He understood there was likely to be a re petition of the scene of Monday night on Friday next, and the officers would do well to bear in mind what' he had just id. Sir Rscnaas then asked if either of the conductors knew what man it was who had dragged a Gentleman from his seat 1 and being ao swered in the negative, he gave them orders to ascertain it as quickly as possible, and report the offender to him, Whether he was a Bow-street officer or a parish constable. MARY-LA-BONNE. Szessulo.--Hesery Maggisias, a young man, seventeen years of , age, was charged with stabbing Wm. Sheppard, a street-keeper.— it appeared from the evidence given, that the prisoner had been on board the Prince Regent, at Chatham, and bad deserted. He had been confined in the Oerkenwell Prison fir a month, and having obtained his release a week ago, be returned to live with his mo. eser, who resides in Tottenham-mews, Tottenham-street. His Mother, who has been in the greatest distress on acc ount of his bad habits, had tried every means to induce him to lead a more regular kfe r but finding her attempts vain, she sent for Manning, a ailmlehii of St. Pancras, to take him into custody. The constable came chest half-past ten. The prisoner was then-sitting en a chair, with aOw in one hand, and a knife ht the other. On seeing the conga* be said," Who are you? stand *way; I'll be hung for some we to-day :" and then rushing upon* him, he struck Manning a severe blew on the arm. The poker was bent about three inches by the blow, and he was. quite disekled from the effects of ft.— William Sheppard, street-keeper, shortly afterwards came in, with some others, for the purpose of arresting the prisoner; and while Mr. Richardson, another street keeper, was' in the act of seiz ing him, Shepp ard came behind him to assist, when be struck him a most violent blow with the knife on the brew. The knife penetrated through both his coats and clothes and struck him on the first rib. There was a considerable effusion of blood, ind the surgeon, to whom he instantly applied, informed him, that but for the knife striking on the rib, the wound must have been fatal. The prisoner was instantly secured by the other attendants.—His mother, an aged woman, said, bee son bad frequently said be would murder some one, and should be banged for it. lie had be haved ill lately, and when she tried to correct his habits, his conduct became 'violent. Mr. Itawunscoo asked Mr. Lewis, the landlord, whether there was any appearance of Insanity about the young man ? he answered in the negative; be bad known bins for eight or ten leant, and though there was something odd about him, he always considered him sane.—From other evidence given, it up pealed the young man had been in a violent state of agitation for some time; on Tuesday night be had torn use of his hands is a shocking manner with his teeth. Mr. newsmen asked what be bad to say for committing thq offence with which be was charged? He replied, in a careless manner, " I have nothing to say." He appeared quite careless - of anythng that might happen, and was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Saturday an elderly, respectable looking-man,, with but one leg, was brought up on tile 'following charge : William Latham,. a young man tin the service of Mr. Barber Beaumont, who resides in the County Fire-OSce establishment, in Regent-street, stated, that on the evening before, the prisoner knocked at the street-door in 'klieg-street, and inquired if a girl named Jane lived there as 's Servant? Witness replied; that there was no female of that name in the house. The prisoner said that was very odd, and walked away. When witness went down to the kitchen, he mentioned to the female servants the description of the . man that called, saying that be bad a wooden kg p and on bearing this, one of them (Sarah Batchelor)• ezelaim.d, that she bad no doubt he was the impostor who called and inquired for her mister., a few days before, at the hastee,of se Harry Calvert, at Chelsea Cot lege, where obeli in service ;And under the pretence of being a re, lation of her's, got 10s. fkl. from her. This-turned out to be a fact I: . --.~--. I • ' 'Mr. Dees, the Magistrate, now tidied the prisoner what h is name was? He replied, Willlko, E a d a je. Plank, the chief °Meer, having cast a sharp look at the prisoner, .went up to him, and addressing him, the following,dialcgue passed : Plank—Pray, Sir, did yoti know rEspial frigate? Prisoner — Why do you ask? Plank.-Ilecause I think I know yono---If you know me, what is my name? Plank—lf lam right, your name is Darla-' , That is my name I wbere did you know me? Plank—l knew you on board Fsplol, in the years i794 . and 1796. • Prisoner (much confused)—What do you know of VE,piol fri gate? Who commanded her at that time? Plank—She was then commanded by Captain. Dixon, now Sir Mealy Dizqn, yice.Ad miral of the lied, and cruised off Ushant. Prisoner—Who wai her first Lieutenant ?—Plank named him. Who was her Second ?—Plank named him. Who was the Sur geon ?—Plank named him, and added," you were the Purser." Plank, who has been several years in the Navy, then stated to the Magistrate, that when he was on board l'Espiol frigate, which had been captured from the French, and just then commissioned in the English service, in 1794, commanded by the present Sir Manly Dixon, the prisoner was then the Purser of that vessel, and was un derstood besides to have had a handsome private fortune ; he was much respected on board the ship, and associated with all the Officers of the first rank. There was certainly then nothing preju dicial to his character, but that being thirty years ago, it was im possible to say what might have happened since. • Mr. Demi said, that it was very painful to see a man who had been in so respectable a situation in life, descend to such practices as those charged against the prisoner; or although he succeeded in .obtaining the different sums as loans, the means he adopted were not the less reprehensible. lie (Mr. rza) would, however, advise him to refund the money, and t* enable him to do so, he would li berate him on his own recognizances until Wednesday ; when, if the money was not returned, the parties might attend again. The prisoner then entered into his own recognizances, and gave his real name, William Davis, No. HP,- New-row, Kent-road, and was discharged. UNION-HALL A fashionably-dressed young man, named George Ivory, was re manded, charged with practising the old trick of getting money front a Mrs. Robson, on pretence of paying the Customs of some valuable presents from a rich relation is India, with which he pre tended he was entrusted for her; and with stealing a silver spoon and a pair of new shoes during the communication of the happy tidings. A poor woman in the alms-houses in Park-street, South.- vrark, was also menus a chemise and other sundries, from a similar visit adds •• fashionably-dressed" rascal.

Another boy died on_ Wednesday, being the 55th victim to this accident. THDT.—A few days ago a woman was charged with a most extraordinary theft in Edinburgh. No less than ripping up the flooring of her apartment, and selling the boards for fourpence. Her husband, a shoemaker, was the principal witness against her, and seemed most anxious that she should be visited with condign punish ment. She was sentenced to sixty days' imprisonment, in Bridewell, and on leaving the bar, she turned to wards the curer of soles, and expressed her iincerehope, that a worse judgment would alight upon him. Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, a clerk of Mr. Swats, a Proctor in Doctors'-Comutons, in taking home a probate of a will, with a 1001. stamp upon it, was knocked down in Mary-la-bonne-lane, by a villain, who instantly wrested the parcel from his bosom, and made his escape, notwithstanding the cries of the lad and some other persons, who joined in the pursuit. At a late Meeting of the Colchester Philosophical Society, Mr. GOOSE made a communication relative to the disinterment of the head of a human corpse,'in a state of perfect preservation, after the lapse of about forty years, from the period of inhumation , and, in an address to the Meeting, stated his views as to the pro- bable cause of this interruption to the usual progress of putrefaction. The following strange story is in circulation in Paris. The young Monsieur de Bovine was married not long since to Mdlle- Beauchamp, a name illustrated by the Vendean wars, and it: was nor possible to see a more happy-couple. Unfortunately, Monsieur de B. had the habit of walking in his sleep, and a few nights since in inc of his fits of somnambulism fancied that be was at tacked by robbers. His poor young wife became the victim of this terrible conceit, and was dragged from• her bed by the hair of her head to expetience the most outrageous treatment. Happily the occupiers of the apartment immediately below, alarmed by the noise and her dreadful cries, burst open the door in time to rescue her with life. His illusion continuing proof against every othey effort, he was at length roused by the shock of cold water, and awakened to a sense of the keenest misery at the effects of his involuntary crime. Poor Madame de B. is in no danger, though very ; but the happiness of this interesting couple is for ever troubled by a circumstance which, if not without example, is certainly very rare in the married state. A very long but most uninteresting trial took place at the Liverpool Borough Sessions, on Friday last. Four lads had been apprehended for a conspiracy and riot at the Theatre, on some occasion when a Miss Cramer, an actress, had appealed to the Public for some sup posed-theatrical grievance. Twb lads, who were tried, wei e found guilty : two others had been persuaded to plead guilty, upon whom the Recorder passed ludg ment" You are," said he, "both of you very young : but let ate tell you, young as you are, you have com mitted a very heinous offence. As to one of you, you were detected in the very act of throwing a large form into the pit, and it might have killed.some persons be. low. Many of the persons who were there 'were asto nished that something like mu: defy was not committed that night. lam happy that you have made all the atonement in your power for your offence. Let me tell you that you are materially indebted for your escape from punishment to Mr. Lewis, the manager, who has on the present occasion conducted himself in a most exemplary manner, and has shewn a degree of libe rality which has entitled him to the praise of she com munity. You will now go about your business, and nothing will happen to you; but if you are found again breaking the public peace, you.must answer for your offence in a way which will make you regret that yolt diclnot attend to the admonition which I have now given to you." The prisoners were thew discharged...! The trial lasted nearly *five hours, during which the Court was eacessively crowded: , FRENCH PROITISES.--aile QUEER Mania 41110 r.

The gfeatest pedestrian undertaking ever known was aeeom• plished at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, by Niendis, groom to - Capt. Ramstien, for 500 sovereigns. The task was to start at that • 104 mile stone year Pershore, Worcestershire, and to reach a gforsir spot (103 miles) on the London side of Bayswater, in 24 hours. The pedestrian started from Pershore at three o'clock, v. as. Oft -- Tuesday, and reached Broadway (twelve miles) a few minutes be fore five o'clock. Here the pedestrian had to encounter the two miles hill, which overlooks the beautiful vale of Evesham. I le,: however, covered his ground to Moreton in the Marsh within fi.ur hours (20 miles).
