WORSHIP-STREET. Ames Paley, an elderly labouring man, was charged with !wiz cruelly beaten his daughter, a little girl ten years of age. It Wda proved, that in 1823, the prisoner was apprehended tur a similar offence, and the child was taken from him. He bad since regained possession of her, and has treated her with the greatest creek% The neighbours having heard the child's screams, went into kit house, and there saw the child lying on the flour, and the pi nona beating her with a thick rope. At one end of it was a loop for the convenience of holding it, and the other end was fornird into a knot.—The prisoner was ordered to find bail for his appearance at the Sessions, and the child was sent to the workhouse. QUEEN. SQUA RE. A man named Xing was charged with having assaulted a Gentle. man, named Brooks. The defence was, that the complainant had seduced his daughter, and that the fruit of their intercourse had been an infant, which the young woman held in her arms. The alleged assault was committed st a time when the defendant was applying to the complainant to pay something towards the sunset of the child. King was held to bail for the assank, and the Magia. crate told him that if Mr. Brooks was the father of the infant, ins daughter had better affiliate the child, and he would be compeller by the parish to allow it a maintenance. MARY-LA-BONNE. ••—• Wright was charged with obtaining four sows, under false pretences, from the farm of Mr. Parkes, at Edgeware. it ap peared b e received a written order to get from Mrs. Lee, Ow keeper of the farm, two sows, upon his giving one of a preultar breed ; instead of this be presented the order, and Mrs. Lee de sired him to read it, being herself unable to do so, when he sub.n. tuted the word " four," in reading the order, instead of " tau" and accordingly obtained the animals, drove them elf, and .ukl 1 1 them, without performing the conditions.—Fully committed. UNION HALL. , . Two men, named Willis and Lawrence, were charged at this office with having committed a higbfway rubbery. Mr. Tomlinson, the prosecutor, was walking through Union -street, on Monday night,. when two men stopped him at the corner of Red Cross -street, and. said " Come, master, lees have a drop to drink." Mr. Tomlinson passed on at a much quicktr rate without noticing them. He had not, however, proceeded £0 yards, when he was knocked down by a blow on the back part of his head. He was insensible from the effects of the blow, and when he recovered be found himself in a surgeon's shop, and on examining his pockets, his purse, containiog four sovereigns, a ses.; note, and les. was gone, and a silk handker-• chief had been stolen out of his hat. He gave information of the circumstance to the next watch-house, and from the description he gave of the men, the officers apprehe nded the prisoners, who were lying under the Mint He found nothing on them except a si.k handkerchief, which Willis claimed as his own. This lunditercbief was muddy, and was exactly like the one stolen from Mr. Toinlizi sons The officers, however, gave it back to Willis, and when they searched him for it at the watch-house, it could not be found. Mr. Tomlinson swore to the person of Willis, and to the beet of his be lief he swore that Lawrence was the of:ker.—The pitmen were remanded for further examination. TOWN-HALL William Jaws, a Police Ulcer, of Union Hall, was summoned for assaulting Robert Perry Sellers. The complainant was sparring at 11 o'clock in the middle of Waterloo Road, with the gloves, and oc casioned an assemblage of nearly 100 persons. The nicer inter fered, took the gloves from Mina, and admitted striking the com plainant for insolence. Mr. Swasar, from Union Hall, sat with Mr. Alderman Samo s and both concurred that she Offictx ex ceeded his duty in striking 'the complainant instead of taking hint into custody, upon his refusing to desist; but discharged the carne, on the conviction that the Miser had not exceeded his duty from improver motives. Quills were used in the sth century. Reeds continued to be used long after quills hid began to be employed; quills were so scarce at Venice in 14JS,that it waswith great difficulty men of letters could procure them The ancient inks were greatly superi6r to the ink of truldein times; a curious evidence of such fact was adduced ..be fore a Committee of the House of Commcns on the lub ject of " Engrossing" Bills.

It has been publicly stated that at least 1,900 mechanics and tr.anufacturers have emigrated to France, where they are said to have completely fixed themselves; and the steam engine•manafactory in Paris has been mentioned as an establishment filled with English• men, who were thus laying the foundation of the ruin of their own country in one of its most important branches of industry. We now find that in this establishment there is not a single English workman, and the same incorrectness in the statements which have been published in the London papers as to other establishments abroad, has been clearly pointed out to us. That there have been many attempts to establish manufactories in France with English workmen, we do not deny; but they have nearly all failed, from the unwillingness of the workmen to remain, except at wages at least double in amount of those which they received in Eng land—an advantage which appeared to them scarcely sufficient to counterbalance the inconvenience of their situation—shut out from their friends and connexions, and cut off as it were from so ciety; and the inability of the masters to pay suck wages—the period of credit for goods beings° long, that only a colossal fortune could support the expenditure. So feeble is the spirit of enter prise in France, that there appears to be no prospect of our manu. facrures being injured to any extent by the competition, although we know vety well that it has become quite the fashion to talk of danger from the increasing resources of that country. From the same cause also it is impossible tbat any consiaerable number of our artisans can attain profitable employment there. Our spirited and enterprising manufacturers have little to fear from the French, and that little can only stimulate to farther enter. prise.—Macclesfse/d Herald. Wednesday the good people of Birmingham were entertained with the theatrical vagaries of an amateur Richard. This aspiring candidate commenced, " Now his the winter of hour discontent," &c. He tumbled over his spurs—almost killed King Henry in right earnest—and dropped on the stage his humps, of which he made foot-balls. His performance produced shouts of l uproarious laughter, and his death was encored. We understand that when &LISTON was lately re commended to extend his trip to France, and visit Bur gundy and Champagne, for the sake of his health; he replied that, for the sake of his health, he had seen too many drawings of Burgundy and Champagne already. A city law has been passed in Charleston against riding or driving by places of public worship on the Sabbath, at any gait faster than a walk. White men and free negroes are to be fined five or ten dollars, and slaves to be whipped not more than twenty lashes. The Bayadere French corvette from Toulon has sailed to make a cruize in the Mediterranean, for the instruc tion of thirty pupils of the Angouleme, that they may have an opportunity of adding practice to theory. The French corvette arrived at Genoa on the 10:h, whence it will sail to visit the other coasts of Italy. Some years since a stag was hunted from Whin6eld Park, Westmorland, until by fatigue or accident the whole pack were thrown out, except two foxhounds, bred by Lord Thaner, who continued the chase during the greatest part of the day. The stag returned to the park, from whence he had been driven, and as his last effort leaped the wall, and died as soon as he had ac compl6hed it. One of the bounds ran to the wall, but being unable to get over it, laid down and almost im- Mediatikly espired : the other hound was found dead about half u . mile from the park. They were supposed to have ran not less than 120 miles. _ _ _ Tuesday, a Gentleman lost his pocket-book, between Castleford and Pontefract, containing sundry notes to the amount of 1,5001.

Mr. Brougham and Mr. Denman had taken the case in their hands, and had agreed to put him in possession of it, provided they were handsomely remu nerated far their trouble. He had been offered 30004 for it. and an annuity of 1001. per annum, but he de- I ennui the offer, and relied upon his title to the estate. The prisoner's master, a Mr. Perry, of Islington, repre. sented the Insolvent as the Fortunate Youth," and also informed the creditors that there was but little doubt of the Insolvent's success in obtaining possession of his estate. The Common Serjeant, who was on the Bench, was examined, and he stated that he had not the slightest recollection of having been applied to by the Insolvent, or of undertaking to conduct his business in the manner he had represented. The Cuzir Commission's, after hearing Counsel on both sides, aaimadvetted on the Insolvent's conduct, and sentenced him to eighteen months' imprisonment, for contracting debts by false representations. MOMBASSA ISLAND. It is net generally known that an English establishment has been formed in the Island of Mombassa, on the East Coast of Africa, where a trade in ivory and gum copal is extensively carried on.— It appears that Captain W. F. Owen, of the Lever, who has two surveying ships under his orders, put in there, in February, 1824, for water, when he found the place under a strict blockade by the Imaum of Muscat's vessels. On his landing, the Chiefs and prin cipal inhabitants of the place, escorted him to the Castle, when they solicited from him permiiaion to put themselves under the Sag and paternal Government of his Majesty George the Fourth, with which request Captain Owen complied (until his Majesty's plea sure should be known,) as a measure most likely to conduce to the total suppression of the Slave Trade on the Coast, where it bad been carried on to a must lamentable excess. lieutenant Emery, R.N. with a party of men, was left in command, since which se veral ships have been captured : the poor slaves released, and the cargoes of the vessels, consisting of grain, cocoa nuts, and ivory, re stored to the owners. The following is an account of this new esta blishment, just received:— " Mombassa is an island in 4. 3. S. latitude, and 39. 41. R. lon gitude, about fourteen miles in circumference, situate at the mouth of two rivers, distance from the nearest part of the Main about 200 yards ; at low water you are able to walk across; it is very fertile, and rather high. It was at one time in possession of the Portu guese, who fortified the place very strongly, but now the fortifica tions are going fast to decay, they having been driven out by the Arabs in the year 1720 ; and I firmly believe nothing has been done to the battlements since that time. The Arabs ate now inter married with the Sochilles, the native tribe of the place. The har bours are very fine; the chief commerce is ivory and gum copal, which articles are brought into the island by an inland tribe, called Whanekas. On the Main we have numbers of wild beasts, but none on the Island, except hyenas; the hippopotamus are in great numbera up the rivers." One of the letters received from Rio Janeiro states— " The Secretary for Foreign Affairs has had frequent conferences with Sir CHARLES &wain', but nothing has transpiecd here." The Leerier de Gond states that, a few days ago a considerable number of Belgian horses were embarked for England, on board the English packets and other vessels. We suppose they must be intended I to supply the losses caused by disease among the horses in that country. Saturday evening, as Mr. John Beard, eldest son of T. Beard, Esq. of ltottingdean, was riding at a very moderate pace, on the road leading to Xemptown, Brighton, his horse fell, and threw him with great vio lence; as he pitched on his head, without his hat, which had fallen off, his skull was so dreadfully fractured, that he died about two hours afterwards, though me dical skill was promptly called to his assistance. Saturday, as a tall girl, about eight years of age, the daughter of Mr. Thwaites, hatter, of the Commercial road, was crossing the road in returning from school, she was run down by the Blackwall stage. The horses went over her, when, momentarily drawing up her feet close to her body, the stage likewise passed over her without doing her the least injury except a slight COMBINATIONS IN FRANCIL-...COURT OF ASSIZE AT RoVEN.—In the month of August last, some disputes and disturbances took place at Houlme, near Rouen, and the persons who were implicated in them, four in number, were brought to trial at Rouen, on the 20th of September. The act of accusation states, that on the 6 h and Bth of August, there was a great disturb ance at Houltne, arising from a combination, having for its object to compel an augmentation of wages.-- (We gave the particulars from the French Papers at the time.) For the crimes charged against the accused, the Advocate-General requires that the degrading and severe punishments ordered by the Code, be inflic on the prisoners. The trial began on the 20th, and was continued to the 21st. It excited an intense i wrest in the neighbourhood, and the Court was antes-- ingly _crowed. Forty-eight witnesses were to be heard for the accusation, and 12 for the defence. On the 20th and 21st, seventeen witnesses were examined, who only identified Lefebvre and Gossuer as having been active in the riot. Gossuet maintained he was there only as a spectator, and Lefebvre that it was mere chance brought him there. The Mayor of Houlme attributed the disorder to the intemperance of M. Le vavasseur, who, he said, had called out to the gen darmes to fire on the wretches, when everything was restored to quiet. Other witnesses, particularly the gendarmes, denied that M. Levavasseur ever made u* of any such words. He said—" Gendarmes, do your duty." This opposition of testimony begot somewarm altercation between the Mayor and M. Levavasseur which the- Judge put a stop to. Some workmen de posed to the formation of the combination, without specifying who organized it. One witness deposed to' having heard a circular letter, inciting the people to combine, read ; and Cadot itcknowledged having heard. such a letter read. On the 18th, this witness being called, it was remarked that his testimony related to Roust, and the murder of the gendarme, and es it was late, the Court adjourned till the foaowing day. Except during the season of Lent, scarcely an eyes ing passes in South American cities without some.social terttdia.or dance, where a stranger is welcomed with marked hospitality and attention.

Thursday the foundation stone of a monument to be erected to the memory ofJohn Kittli.; in the Merchants' Park, Glasgow, in view of the Cathedral, was laid by the Rev. Professor Mac Gill, with the usual solemnities. At half-past twelve o'clock the Committee of Ma nagement and a number of the subscribers met in the Tradee.Hlll, whence they went in procession to St . GiAes Church, where 'a sermon was preached by the' Rev. Dr. Chalmers, from Jeremiah, chap. vi. verse 16, " Thus s iith the LORD, stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls." After Divlse Service, the Committee and upwards of 300 of the subscribers walked in procession from the Church to the Merchants Park. On the arrival of the procession at the s!te of the Monument, the Committee and Master-masons, &c. ascended a platform prepared for them, and as soon as the subscribers had occupied the places assigned them, silence was proclaimed, when the Rev. Dr. Burns, Minister of the Barony Parish, offered up a suitable and highly impressive prayer. At the conclusion of the prayer, Mr. Rodger deposited a glass bottle, hermetically sealed, containing specimens of the gold, silver, and copper coins of the present reign, and another glass bottle, containing six different GI isgow Newspaf ers, a Scotch Almanack, and a Glas gow Directory. 1:1 e following extracts from adand's Annals and Stati•tical I able: of Glasgow, were enclosed in the bottle: ••••••• 4 4 Population Tables tor Glasgow progressive, from 'the days of Knox to the present time.

An outline of the famous General Assembly which was held in the Cathe dral of Glasgow on the 21st of November, 1638, (the Marquis of Hamilton Lord High Commissioner). This Assembly, which was attended by the greater part of the Nobility and influential persons in Scotland, decreed 4 the abjuration of Episcopacy, the abolition of the I, High Commission, the deposition of the Archbishops and Bishops, the approval of the Covenant, and the rendering of Churchmen incapable of sitting in Parlia ment.' Also an extract of the declinature and protes tation by the Dignitaries of the Church of Scotland. This notable document was signed by the Archbishops of St. Andrew's and Glasgow, and by the Bishops of Eiinburgh, Galloway, Ross, and Brechin. A paper was also deposited giving a view of the comparative state of society in Glasgow at various times from the Reforma tion to the present time ; together with certain excerpts from M'Crie's Life of Knox; and a list of the subscri bets to the monument." Mr. Cleland then read the inseripdon on a metal plate, u follows:—. _ . To testify Gratitude for inestimable Services In the Cause of Religion, Educatioa, and Civil Liberty. To awaken Admiration Of that Integrity, Disinterestedness, and Courage, Which stood unshaken in the midst of Trials, And in the Maintenance of the highest objects.

The plate having been deposited over the bottles, and the opera lives and master masons having completed their part of the cere mony, the Rev. Professor Mac Gill laid the foundatimetone. After which the surrounding crowd gave three cheers. Dr. Mac Gm. having advanced to a table in front of the plat form, addressed the subscribers at considerable length, and with much ability. in commendation of the design of the monument, and the blessings which had accrued to the nation since the Re formation. The ceremony was followed by a dinner in the Black . Ball, H. Monteith, Esq. M.P. in the Chair, and James Ewing, Esq. croupier. Monday se'nnight, a dreadful accident occurred upon Ellerbeck•bridge, between Nordinßeno* and Think. The Sunderland Mail on its way to York, just at the abrupt turn of the road, immediately ap. proaching the bridge, met a waggon so close upon it, that the coachman had scarcely time to poll up; in attempting to do which the reins broke, and he conse quently lost his command over the horses, which ran the Mail again.t the coping stones by the side, of the bridge, and, just as the waggon had passed, caused its overthrow with a tremendous force, so much so, that the body was thrown from the carriage which use horses dragged forward. There were three passengers. inside and three out, the person amongst the latter who. occupied the centre seat in front of the coach, sustained' the most serious injury. This Gentleman, a timber►. merchant of London, of the name of Collings, was thrown with his knees upon the pavement, with such violence as to break his thigh in a dreadful manner, tearing open the flesh, and the bone frightfully protrud. ing through his small-clothes. The gentleman was conveyed on a shutter to a public house about half a mile distant, where he was attended by the nearest medical gentleman who could be procured, assisted by one of the inside passengers, a surgeon from Edin• burgh, who, though of course himself considerably composed by the accident, most promptly and humanity offered his assistance. Upwards of two inches of the , bone was obliged to be removed before the fractu could properly be reduced. The other passengers di not sustain any considerable injury: one young Gen tleman of York had to bear the whole weight of the body of the Mail upon his leg for a considerable time, which has produced a temporary lameness, and the guard was so much injured as to be unable to go out the next day. Mr. Collings is doing as well as can be expected, considering the dreadful nature of his mil. fo:tune. Three of the passengers stopped at Think, being unwilling, under existing circumstances, to pro ceed further on their journey. A Correspondent states, that the greatest defaulter on the Sr. Leger Race, is a Mr. F—, a countryman, who should have brought fifteen thousand pounds with him in►o the•market yesterday.

From the statement of the witnesses, it appeared that the female, who is in a dangeroar state, was crossing the road at the end of Broad.street, Gol4ke. square, on Monday afternoon, when the prisoner was driving Lai cart at a very furious rate. He did not attempt to pull up, and Li. horse struck against the unfortunate young woman, and she was dashed to the ground, and taken up in a senseless state. Her rind suffered no Injury. The prisoner, who was aware of the accitlect occasioned by his improper and most dangcrous mode of drivin g , instead of stopping, endeavoured to effect his escape; but an Ma of Dragoons pursued him and brought the fellow back, and gave him in charge to a constable. He was remanded till the loi% woman's fate is decided. II -
