The village of• East Mtiulsey,•in Surrey, was a short. time since greatly disturbett by a melancholy occur.; Trine, which happened at the cottage of Mr. Savory,• chymist, of New B,rnd•street. This serious affair has al ready been fatal to the life of one man, and two others were so dreadfully injured, as to make it ♦ery doubtful whether they will ever be restore) to their former health, in consequence of the serious nature of the in juries they have received. The following is an outline of the particulars: Two or three days after Christmas Day, John Fre derick Taylor, the son of a respectable bricklayer in Moulsey, together with two other young men, named William Brown and Samuel Martin, mechanics, in the same place, called at the cottage of Mr. Savory, to beg a Cloistmas..bnx. Anthony Dukin, a powerful young Irishman, told them that his master was not at home, and therefore he could give them no money; but said he would give them some beer, if that would sa tisfy them. The three men expressed themselves per fectly satisfied with the offer, ands ere taken into one of the rooms and left there, while Dukin went to draw a pitcher of ale. On Dukiu's return, he filled a horn to Taylor (the deceased), and they joined in drinking the merriments of the season to each other. About this; time, Dukin had occasion to leave the room fora few minutes, and on his return, Taylor said " ^ my eyes you'll give us another pitcher; we have not had two a-piece yet." This expression was understood by Dukin to have been meant offensively to him; and on his ex pressing some dissatisfaction at what had been said, Martin interposed, and begged that there might be no disturbance, and at the same time proposed that lie and his associates should leave the house; but Dukin had by this time got very angry, and seizing the tongs, struck Martin across the loins, and repeated the blows with severity on the head and other parts of the body. Having left Martin insensible on the floor, he attacked Taylor, and by the violence of Iris conduct, fractured his arm, and otherwise se shockingly maltreated him, that he "was speedily compelled to forego the contest. Brown was next attacked; but though he was less in jured than either of the other men, he was unable to withstand the vigorous efforts of his assailant, and' escaped out of the house into the grounds of the cottage, and got through the rails into the park of Sir George Berkeley, adjoining, and there cried out" Murder!" He was followed by Dukin, who took Martin into his arms, and threw him over the rails into the road. Tay lor ar►d Brown had at this time got from the house, and perceiving the cruel manner ►n which their com panion was treated,' Brown said, " For GOD'S sake don't murder us;' to which the servant replied, " D—n your eyes, I will murder all three Of you." The three men, in this miserable plight, a ere driven to the Cannon public-house, at a small distance from the cottage, and there Dukin gave them into the charge of a constable, for having behaved disorderly and riotously at his mas ter's house. The villagers, who were collected round the house, seeing the condition of the men, said they were more in need of a doctor than a prison, and medi cal assistance havingbeen obtained, their wounds were examined, and they were conveyed to their respective homes. Taylor lingered in great tortures until last Wednesday evening, when he died. Martin received a ♦ery severe injury on the spine, and it is yet doubtful whether he will recover. Brown was less hurt than either of the other men, but is still in a weakly state. Mr. Baker, the Gentleman who attended Taylor in his illness, was present at the Inquest, which was held before Mr. Jamaterr, at the Bell Inn, at Moul sey, and describedthe fractures in Taylor's arms. He also produced a portion of the bone, which be took . 'from the deceased's arm, after his death. The wounds Taylor received on that occasion the surgeon had no doubt were the cause of his death, but from the exter nal appearances, he expected Martin would have died first, and his being inexistence at this time was-only to be attributed to the strength of his constitution. This serious affair was examined into soon afterwards by a Bench of Magistrates at Kingston, but as the issue was then doubttul, Dukin was permitted to go at large on his giving bail to appear at the Sessions to answer such charges as should be brought against him. After Taylor had died, and the Jury had returned a ver dict of Manslaughter against Dukin, he was taken into custody on the Coroners warrant, by Phillips, the corn stable of Moulsey, and as he apptared perfectly re— signed, and chewed no disposition to evade justice, the constable set off • with him in a chaise, with the inten tion of lodging him in the county jail, without having fettered him in any other way than single handceffs.— When near the French Horn, in the Wandsworth-road, the prisoner requested to leave the chaise for a short time, and while the constable was also engaged, Dukin leaped over a fence, and set off - at full speed, across B attersea-fields, and it being quite dark, a pursuit was uselessly made, and be for that night escaped.- Phil lips instantly returned to Moulsey, and having informed Mr. Palmer, one of the parish officers, of the circum stance, they left Moulsey at two o'clock in the morn ing, fur London, with letters addressed to Mr. Stafford, of Bow-street, and Mr. Savory the prisoner's master. At Mr. Savory's house, it was ascertained that Dukin had been there very late oa the preceding night, and directions were given to the porter, with whom he bad been, to find him. While the porter was on the search, Phillips learned that Dukin had been to Union-hall to surrender himself. He had also been to Horsemonger lane prison for the same purpose, and as he was return ing along the Borough, he was met by Phillips, who took him into custody, and safely lodged him in the county jail.

POLICE INrELL'GENCE. GOLD) ALL Cowman ,o Jbatsuresten PRlNTlM.—Although the Combination 'Laws are repealed. artificers and workmen of all descriptions, will ,4 well to remember that air %ct of Parliament '(4th of Geo. IV. cop. 34.) has been passed, enlargiug the powers of Magistrates is. determining complaints between masters and servants ; and whiiii enacts, that it any artificer, or ether person, shall absent himself `from his service before the time of his contract shall be completed, whether such contract he or be not in writing, the Magistrate may issue his warrant fur his apprehension ; and upon proof of the com plaint, commit any such person to hard labour, in the House of Correction, for any time not exceeding three months. Under this statute, James Wagon, Henry Moore, and James Pa radise, three compositors, late in the employ of Messrs. Spottis woode, printers, were brought up on a warrant yesterday, before the sitting Alderman, Sir JAMIt Suaw, Bart. Mr. Andrew Sputtiswoode said, he charged the prisoner with having left his employment before the expiration of the implied term of their respective contracts. It was the 'universally understood agreement between the Masters and Journeymen . Printers, that a fortnight's notice should be given whenev e r a Master ;mended to discharge a Journeyman ; and in like manner by the Journeyman when be proposed to quit his Master's service; but since the repeal of the Combination Laws, he was sorry to say, that the men seemed to think they might commit any oftegee with impenity, break all engagements, in short, that they had ac quired the right to do wrong. Several worthless fellows, as they expected, had left them at different times without any notice what ever, to the great inconvenience of their business, but they had not thought it worth their while to give themselves any trouble about them. The evil had, however, now spread pretty generally among the men; one of these prisoners had served his apprenticeship with them, and had been nine years in their employ since, and they now therefore felt it absolutely necessary to adopt these proceedings, to endeavour, if possible, to put a stop to such improper conduct. Mr. Shaw, Messrs. Spottiswoodes Manager, was then called to snbstantiate the charge against the prisoner, and from his evidence it appeared, that Moore, who bad been apprenticed there, left his employ about a fortnight ago. A note came the next day, from his wife, stating that he was conhued by illness, but would return when he got better. He had not however returned since ; and a few days afterwards the other two prisoners left in the same abrupt manner, without giving the customary notice. Mr. Shaw got pri vate information that they were at work at another printing-office ; (that of The Sunday Times Newspaper) and on calling found them all three there at work, and gave theft notice that, unless they re turned proceedings would be had against them. Two of them did call, and beg to be released front giving the fortnight's notice, but their attendance was insisted upon, yet neither of the three had returned to their work since. Application was in consequence made at this office, and Brand, the Marshalman, to whom the war rant was given, took them all three on Saturday night, at work at The Sunday Times Office. The prisoners did not deny the implied agreement in the trade, to give notice of intending to quit, and in excuse for their conduct, said that the work they were upon at Messrs. Spottiswoode's net being of the most advantageous kind for the journeyman, being Hooper's Medical Dictionary, and having heard of this situation upon the Sunday Paper, where they could earn double the money, they were induced to quit. Sir JAMES SHAW said, their defence completely allowed the offence they were charged with, and inquired of Mr. Sputtiswoode what was their general character, and whether it was his wish to press for punishment upon them? Mr. Spottlswoode said, he had nothing to object against their characters generally, but he had hoped, after their two nights' confinement, they would have been brought to a sense of their error. He believed they had been led away, and if they were now convinced they had done wrong, he should be disposed to intercede with the Magistrate in their favour. The prisoners severally expressed their contrition for their mis conduct., and the Alderman, after a serious admonition, permitted them to be discharged. BOW-STREET. Yesterday morning, shortly after Sir Ricms RD Marne had taken Iris sett, Perry, the Officer, was called before him for the purpose of receiving instructions how to act in the evening, at the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane. Sir 'ISMAILI) Reams anticipated there would be some disturbance at the Theatre, but gave Perry strict orders not to enter the house to take any one out under any circumstances, as the public would pay their money for entrance, at the will and risk of the Manager.; bet to prevent any disturbance that might take place at the outside of the Theatre. Perry said they were employed by the Theatre to attend. Sir Rictus* observed, that the *Meets were not to be ordered by the Managers, and to pay attention to the instructions he received. The Theatre, no doubt, would be crammed inevery quarter, and it might be dangereus to interfere with the audience. Perry left the office to regulate the patrole for the evening. The other Magistrates concurred with Sir Rscuaao Bums. Piccsouxrr.—Owing to the active exertions of Donaldson, and the officers who attend the Theatres during the time of performance a pickpocket bas not of late• been seen at Bow-street office, none el. them being flaring enough to venture the exercise of their profess, ston. Yesterday morning, however, John /Hist, a youth about four teen yeari of age, was put to the bar, charged with picking the pocket of a Gentleman named Pritchard, who was accidentally pass ins Abe Brown Bear, in Bow -street, at two o'clock on Senday morning, when the prisoner very ingeniously' contrived to convey a silk handket chief out of the Gentleman's pocket to the pavement. The Gentleman suddenly turning round, caught the young delin quent in the-act of picking it up. The prisoner said be was a pot-boy in the employ of aarespectable. publican, and that this was his first offences Sir I t. Manta remanded him until his Mends bad been made ,acquainted with his present situation. MARY-LA-BONNE. Captain Purende , of the Prussian Army, was brought to this charged.with violently assaulting and threatening to stab a Ladystemed Coley*, residing in Foley-street. Mrs Eliza Colwell, stated, that the. Captain lodged and boarded with her family, and he stated himself to have attained consider able rank in his Prussian Majesty's service; be was very consider ably in her debt, and she believed he was very much assisted by Officers of the Army who had served with bim. On that day, she begged him to give her some money on account, when he not only commenced a verbal attack In broken English, but struck her se verely on the heed, and she believed attempted to stab her in the back. She was -rendered so angry by the unmanly outrage, that she in turn auackedhim wish three knives and two forks, and in flicted (only) some flesh wounds. The Lady seemed not to have got rid of her passion, as she exclaimed vehemently, " Oh, the rascal, to strike me, I world have killed him without Judge or Jury, that I would." The Captain as vehemently. protested that the Lady was a Got dam --, and that•she gqt in a big. . passion ; oh, such a big one, and because he had not got de monies, she stab him with the dam knife, and said, "by G--, I will knock yon down." She was a little tipsy, and he only gave her one little tiny shove away. Mrs. Coke*, in great rage, exclaimed, " Me drunk, you you -- rascal; why, your Worship, although he is dressed ale mitfteire, he has not got a stitch on that is not mine—open his waistcoat, and you will see• he has one of my night-gowns on for a shirt."--(Great 'laughter). The Captain, with great indignation, " Oh, de darn lie ! Oh, - rar Got !" and te.ring. open his coat, he displayed, with triumph, his shirt, exclaiming, Me wear de , oh fie ! me has de regular four shirts in de week." The colour of the one he had on would lead a.pewson to doubt this last assertion. Mrs. Colvelle most unceasingly threw out charges, couched in vituperative language against the Captain, who only replied by • shrugging. his shoulders with a peculiar expression. Mr. Hinnies at length' said, he was inclined to believe the Lady its the wrong, and, therefore, dismissed the complaint. The decision, as is usual in such cases, was received with great ill-temper, and the Captain remained, to avoid any unpleasant ren contre with Mrs. Colvelle, who seemed very much inclined to give him a beating. Yesterday, in consequence of bills of indictment for extensive conspiracy and fraud, being found against a woman named Saunders, Mr. o.o4frey, a Mr. l'arke, and others, at the last Middlesex Ses sions, several Gentlemen, accompanied by Mr. Manner ' s clerk, ap peared to enter bail for Mr. Parke. One of the persons offering himself as bail, named Plant, mlct went a long examination as to his sufficiency, by Mr. Bonzes, soli citor for the tradesmen who has.: been defrauded, and the -Magis trate finally rejected him, considering, from a variety of circum stances, that he was not then competent to enter into the recogni unces required. Mr. Parke being present, was taken into custody. The amount of bail required from each of the parties charged, is two sureties iu £l5O each, and themselves in £3OO, to appear to take their trials at the next Sessions. LAM BETH-STREET.

The con flict commenced by a simultaneous attack, in which about 400 men met by previous agreement to decide. by combat a feud which had subsisted for some time_ between them. So. furious was the onset, that the Police, constable, in charge of a party stationed near the place of action, considered it useless to interfere, and dan gerous to attempt it.
