GREAT FLOOu AT CIIEsTER. Monday, in this . city., toe people wele . obliged to taka• shelter in the tows (a -species of piazza ;set tillar ts Chester); and some idea of thrviolince of the rain and 'bail nary be formed from the fact, that an impetuous torrent of water, suf f icient format a boas, floweii from the High Cress through the East-gate. The live, rose to an unipasat bright. and trio of the boats of the Chester Yacht Club brokelrom their moorings above the bridge, and sustained considerable damage. Ever the ancient ramparts themselves, Oat resisted the re peated assaults of the'Putitans, have been forced ro ) ield to " the pelting of ;he pit less storm * About 15 or 16 yards of that pait nest. the Piste six ToWe , (from the sum mit of which King Charles witnessed the defeat of his army on Rovrtimmaor) gave way with.* tremendous crash on Monday afternnol , , the foundation being 'quite undermined by ttse effects of the heavy rain,. The accounts of the crops from all parts of the couary sore Most ciisttes,ing s aid if the wet weather continue for a week of ten days longer, the %%heat will be Ore coverably gone. Tuesday two large porpoises came up as tar as the bridge. Tkey were chased by a mul• titude of boats and men, armed with vasious missiles, but without avail ; they made good their retreat again at the trffix of the tide. The accounts lions IVrexham and the neightoboing part (.f the Principality of Wales are most disastrous. A little brook that fl iws through that town, and ruts into the Dee, suddenly rose to a height unprecedented in the mernoty of the oldest in hah.tant, and washed do a n several houses, and corn pkely inundated the low parts of the town. In some sns:ances breaches were made in the roofs of the hooves t rescue the inmates from pens:sing. A gird portion b' king's Mills, on the same stream, was wast,ed assay, and the bridge, and two neighbouring cottages, were totaly destro)el. One s.f the Oswestry coaches had hilt in. , passed along the bridge, and another was within is se= ty ) ards ref it, both heaysly.laden, when it gave way. Set ei al other bi idg'et were Ilan cartied away, and among the re-t Leebviood bridge, in Flititbhite, along which 'lie Rev.

CORON kligirsr4DESTS. Yesterday an li , que,t was held at the Rising Sun, in Shi,ernakes-row, Broadway, Blackfriars, on the body of George Rose, aged 70. It appealed that the deceased, who was infirm and quite deaf, was knocked down by the Heist it moil cart, the evening of the 10th March last, as he was crossin . 4 Llidgate Hill. Ti e cast was driven at the rate tit twelve or fourteen miles per hour, though there could not be the slightest necessity for proceeding at ttrat speed, as the cart was returning hoMe, having delivered the bags to the mail. After the deceased was knocked down, the driver, whose name is William Lea, continued to drive on, and was with some difficulty stopped. The deceased's right ancle and arm were fractured. and tour of the ribs on the right side were broken. He lingered until Tuesday last, when he, died, and it was the opinion of the Medical Gentle men who had opened the body that those injuries had accelerated his death. A Juror said: that it was matter of great surprise to hint, and he believed it was to many, that accidents of • this description were not ut more frequent occurrence, . when he considered the dangerous rate the mail carts were-allowed to proceed thrisugh the most crowded stre.ts in the metropolis. It was a circumstance that bindly called for an investigation. • The ConoNka observed, that it had been too long the practice of the drivers of the mail calls to proceed at the rate r f 14 or 15 miles art hour ; and he himself had often wonvered that ac._ideuts had not more lte vently o;:nt ed by them. The .Jury had beard the evidence, mid tt would be for diem to give their verdict *teen. - Ifie Jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Witham Lea, and levied a demi:old Of 301. upon a Knail cart and horse ; and hoped that their decisson would abate the practice of radid driving for the !mule. Last evening, at seven o'cl ck, an inquisition was tato at Whi!e Dig Tavern. Widegate-street, Bishops gate.street, before THOM AS SHELTON, Esq. Coroner, on •iew of the body of a line boy, only 15 years of age, ti . iimed Charles Atfield. The deceased, who had been' aftrentice to a grocer in Bishopsgate-street, wa•. AC cn• Ang to tt e evidence of hi s f e ll,, w apprentices aid the servants of the family, remarkable fOr a lively and cheerfu! disposition. On Monday night he was f tui d si.spended by his apron from the hallusteis of the stair ca,e in his matt i's hcuse. When cut down be was • qn to de. d. From his general disposition, it was very improbable that he had intended self•destrutti in; arat none of the persons ex 'rained could th:ow any light (in she circumstance. except the fubow ing William Duirgate, in the employ of Mr. Taylor, the Slitter q f deceased, stated that with , n the last six Months the briy had practised hinging himself with the jack towel, abich be so ingeniously twisted about his • neck that he could raise himself off the };round. %%Ta nen on one Occasion seat into the 'room, and saw him baiting; haus: took no 'raise. as he was in the habit' of Oing it, and went out.

Witieis replied, that he would by ', if once too ofeeti,iod do it effeq.taally, like the pain broker's boy, wbohad bang himself in joke. He made no answer to that. but invited witness to try the experi ment, bet he declined. Mi. Samuel Taylor, the masier Oldie deceased, could not account for the act; he never saw any thing about the boy like insanity. He really believed he w as trying the sensation hanging would produce, and unfortunately for him he had carried the expel iment sou far. Cot oner—Was he an ingenious lad? Mr. Taylor ,raid he was very singularly ingenious, and was never happy bot when he was trying or find ing out experiments. It was his firm belief that it was his anxiety to discover the feeling suspension would produCe that had led to his unhappy end. The Coroner said, that during his experience of 30 yeats, certainly a few such ca.es had come to his knowledge. The Jury returned the following verdict—" That the deceased unwittingly, and against his own intention, strangled himself.

A dreadful accident occurred about half-past seven yesterday evening. A child, named Farrows, about two years old, was playing at the mood floor window of Mr. Allen's. greengrocer, in Clare -court, when it 'fell qui, and wits taken to Mr. Weaver, chemist, in Black aLool-)treert.where it aspired Loon after.. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M A NSION-HOUSE. WEHTESAll.—:Yeiteday, a fisherman, who if called the Leader of the Whitebait Gang, was brought up. charged with havior assaulted one of the Assistant Water Bailiffs, in the executtoti of his duty. The defendaot said he went to fish to keep his family from the workhouse. lie denied that he had resisted the authority of the Water Bailiff until Nelson threatened to do him an injury. Toe I.oao Ilevoa said, that the Essex Conservancy Jury had represented to him that if a stop were not put to whitebait fishing. the poor fi%hei men of that county would certainly starve. He had also received a strong petition from upwards of fifty fishermen, cmnplaining of whitebait fishing, and tracing all their wants to the practice.. _ Defendant—Why. sny Lord, should we be punished for supplying the Nobility with whitebait ? Isn't it a shame for Noblemenjo he greedy after the fish, and to encourage us to catch it, if we are to be punished after all? The loan MAYOR-4 can't help it. I eau oily punish those who are caught fishing with illegal nets. If any Lord yr Lady is caught fishing with a net of the sort I'll punish. them as well as you—( A laugh). Defendant—Why not punish those that eat whitebait, my Lord? If you would be good enough to do that, my Lord, I'll show you olive you can do justice. Only just east your net over the great roost of the Clown and Sceptre, in Greenwich, and you'll catch his Grace the Duke of Wellington, and several others of his Ma. joity's Ministers, hard at work upon whitebait, at six or seven o'clock this evening—( Laughter). The LORD Mayors advised the defendant to write a petition at once to the Duke of Wellington, while he was at dinner at Green wich on whitebait, soliciting his Grace to attend to your atgu ments—l think there is strength in them. If I ate whitebait you should not have to pay the penalty. The defendant said he would try the experiment. GUILDHALL. Thomas Allen, a mechanic, was charged with assaulting John Squires. The complainant said he had let some apartments in hiq house to a young widow, and after be had slept about an hour the night before, he was untried by hearing some strange man scum Wing up the stairs. He listened a moment, and was soon satisfied that the aforesaid widow had introduced the man, and that they were bath drunk. He asked the man what be wanted ? The pri soner answered, that hr was the woman's husband. Complainant told hint he was sure he was not, and that he would have no im. proper goings on in his house, and that he had better at once go peaceably out of it. Witness struggled to push him back, but he caught hold of one leg, and attempted to throw him over his head down the stairs. Witness, however, pushed him out of his house, and gave him into custody. Aud what did the widow say for herself? Inquired the Alder man.—Why, first she said the man was her husband—then that he was nut, but that she had a right to do whatever she pleased in her own apartment. Mr. Alderman FARIMOTHER said, while the widow continued a tenant she had a right to the use of the room; and the landlord could nut say, although be might suspect, with what view she had I hroughi this man home with her. His remedy was to give her warning, and get rid of her as soon u he could.—The prisoner was then discharged. Charlash/tries, a youth about nineteen years of age, was charged with stealing a box containing Geneva watch materials, &c. value twenty-five pounds, the property of Mr. Peter Gottheimer, of No. a, aldermanbury.—The prisoner was fully committed for trial. Iluntphry Murphy, a little urchin apparently not more than nine years of .ge, was charged with obtaining goods under false pretences. Mr. Charles Tilt, bookseller, in' Fleet...street, said, that the pti saner came to his shop a few days since, and stated that he came from Mr. Kelly, a bookseller, at the west end of the town, and one of Mr. Tilt's customers, and that be wanted two copies of Oniniunt Gatherssos fur Mr. Kelly. Witness let him have the books, taking him for one of Mr. Kelly's errand buys. Next day the prisoner came again and had two copies more, in like manner; but soon afterwards Mr. Kelly biniself called for a copy, which led to an eclaircisaemene, and the witness determined to stop the boy the next tune he saw bin,. He went again yesteiday morning for two copies more, on toe same pretence. They were again handed over to him, aiml he was taken into custody by an officer as soon as he got outside the door. The officer said that the prisoner bad given him information by which he thought he should be able to find the person who bad set the boy Oh to get these goods. Mr. Alderman FAIIIIIIO7IIIII ordered the boy to be remanded, to give time to bring forward the principal offender. BO W-STItEET. _ _ _ Mr. ,h/.,s illldinaills. tieteq;;;FThe . free-liat and boz.book at the English Opera House, was charged by Mr. A. Crockford, jun. with assault.—Mr. Crockfotd stated, that on Saturday night last be went to the English Opera House, and having paid the entrance money, he stopped in the lobby immediately within the cheek taker's place, and carelessly turned over the !easel of the free ad mission book, which was lying on a table. The defendant came up to him, and told him he had-no business to look in that book, and desired Mtn to desist. Witness said he was merely looking to ascertain if they bad the same number of free admissions that the Haymarket Theatre had. The defendant, however, said be should out look at it, and shut the book, and iota' it front him,and he (the complainant) then turned round and said he had a right to look at the book, and that he had often done it before, and he put his tongue . 4 slightly" out of his mouth. That, however, was not intended as an insult, but was a mere gesture. Mr. Wildsniith then slapped him in the lace. Mr. Wildsmith, in answer to the charge, said, that when Mr. Crockford entered the Theatre, he had a woman of the town with him. When he was examining the her admission hock, he (Mr. W ) told him it was contrary to the nil.y of the house. but the complainant still kept pusseasion of it, end it was With conild, c able difficulty he could get it from him. Tile complainant then turned round. and with a mean, said. " supposing I were to knock you down." For bis personal safety, I said, he had better not attempt it, and he then put out his tOl•gtle, in the' Inon offensive and de* gu-ung manner, and putting his face almost close to mine, exclaimed " bah." My hand was rased at air moment, and it very naturally went into Mr. Crotkford's face. I admit that I slapped bit face, and I am now very glad I did so.—Mr. Crockfurd declared that he dick not say, " suppose I were to knock you down."—. Mr. Wild smith, however, repeated that he did, and his statement -gas come burnt. d by fir. Thomas, the constable, wan was in the Theatre at the t.nie the affair took place. S:r It. LlItt•It: said, that although there might have been great provocation, yet slapping a man in the face was certainly a Moab ut tile peace, and Mr. Vi ildsmith must put in bail. Mr. Crucktord's Solicitor—Perhaps, Sir Richard, you will not give the parties the trouble of going to the Session, hut exercise the power winch the late Act gives you, and pi tiered summarily. Sir It. liinare•-1 have great doubts about that Act, arid have never yet is ti.cted a penalty under its authority. It is a Penal Statute, and I think that, at all events, before we proceed on it, there should be a regular information drawn up, and a summons issued. it ought to be very strictly construed. Mr. Peake and ainither Gentleman became bail for Mr. Wild smith, and the parties left the office. ULratric Tiiitetau.— Air. John Scott, the proprietor of the Olympic Theatte, attended before the blagigrates of this Office; and stated that he last night attended at a meeting of the pariah officers, at the Vestry Room of St. Cluipent's parish, to complain of an increase of tate levied on Dis property, and which they re• tubed to reduce. It appearedltom Mr. Scott's statement that he toot the Olympic Theatre from the late Mr. Asdey, since which he paid the poor's rate on a rout of 1501. a year, but lately the parish officers thought proper to increase it 501. a year more; so that he is vow levied at the rate of 2001. per annum, although the actual rent he pays is but lOW. Mr. Scutt here handed in a receipt Signed by the agent to Lord Craven, the landlord. Two of the parish officers attended on the part of the parish, and stated that they lately ascertained that the property was worth ton- Niderably more, and thereby the raters increased it fifty pounds a year; and they considered themselves justified in acting as they bad done from Mr. Scott's statement—namely, that he paid two thousand pounds for the lease.—Mr. Scott denied having said so— he said he took the prsmises from the late Mr. Astley, who rented the ground from Lord Craven, with whom he entered into an agreement to expend the suns of two thousand pounds on a theatre, or build four houses on the site of the Queen of Bohemia public house; and that on payment of the above sum he should have a lease at sixty-one. years. Mr. Astley accordingly laid out nearly the above sum, which be expended on the theatre, intending to keep his horses there during the winter, but subsequently he trans ferred the lease to Mr. Scott, who pays the rent of 1001. per annum and the ground rent. • Sir IL HIPAIS and Mr. Ileat.listated their opinion, which was to the effect that they considered there was no ground to justify the parish officers to raise the rate; but they wished it to be understood, as they had no power to dispose of the ease, what they said was only their opinion, and advised Mr. Scott by all means to appeal to the Sessimis. The officers said, they were willing to reduce it, but without an appeal to the Sessions they had no power to do so; but if Mr. Scutt would swear that he did not give soy money for his lease, they would report the fact to the neat meeting of the vestry. Mr. Hafts said be would tender no such affidavit; and he had no hesitation in saying that be Would at soots belittre Mr. Scott's word, as he was a highly respectable Gentleman. • ' The parties then left the Office. gaTToN.G A ADEN. Mr. Menkhouss was charged with a violent assault upon his see vane, T. Johnson—Thu complaisant, who ethiblted some Aare, bruises on the face, deot-ed to the t.l.l . ‘: , LLut hint:king hioi Lim down on Saturday night, only for saynrg he it .d itecn taking a pint and a pipe with a friend to an adpi ))))) g hou..e. The fact of the assault was proved by two witne.ars, and the MagiArates or-• dered him to find bail. Information was given at this Office of the premises of Measrs. Vrfgg and Mansfield, builders, of Gray's Int:Anne, being been broken into on Tuesday night, and ripest); to a COllli.dCi abie .mount taken thereout. WORSMP-STIIERT. R. Pitkix, C• ✓ones, alia. 112 ~idard, and J. Smith, well known to the Police, were charged with being in the crowd at the Eagle Tavern, City-road, at the accent of the balloon, with intent to fathom the pockets of the lii-ges there assembled; but their intention. appear to have heen fru•trated by the officer. as only a solitary silk handkerchief wa► found on 011 c of them. They were, however, sent to exerci.e their industry for three months at the Tread Mill. • TOW N—H A LT.. Marten Haypen and Isaac Hunt were charged with several assaults. Mr. Long, of Russell.street, llorselydown. st .ted, that on Monday evening the defendants, who had been drinking in his house, began beating a poor man, named Wood, in the passage, merely, as they said, nut of a lark. He interposed to put a stop to it, and wa struck by both.—Wood itoiroborated the statement. Whit are these youths? inquires! the Alderman. Apprentices to a fellnionger. your Winship, t eptieJ Mr. Long, and able to earn 254. a week for their masters, and as much for themselves. It is the inform or the trade to allow them this, said another ; and a very bad custom it is. said the Alderman, to allow apprentices such means of dot' and dis- sipation, and ordered them to hod bail. UNION HALL A'man named Usher was charged with having robbed a Gentle man named Kelly of his watch and seals. It appeared that on Tuesday afternoon, as the complainant was ?ming along Westmin ster Bridge, be took refuge front the rain in one of the alcoves, awl bad not been there many minutes before the prisoner at.d three other men stood up Aso. The rain continuing, Mr. Kelly sat down on the bench, and being fatigued with walking he became drowsy and fell asleep. While he was in this state a mechanic on the nth, r side, observing the prisoner and the other men in the act of rohhhi' the complainant, proceeded over to his assistance, upon which the four men all ran away. The prisoner, however, was overtaken at the foot of the bridge by a constable, but the watch and seals were not fantod in his possi-ssion. The prisoner's companions were known as reputed thieves.—He was SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. '-....- BRIGHTON RACES, JULY M.
