. 1 „r her heart's bloat ; and true, indeed, was the stateinent, for he (31r. 0 . C.) had never known the Parliament to grant anything to Ireland but what had been wrung from it. He should go on to do his utmost, he would endeavour to imitate the Brownie's of 1782. a name that would only be eclipsed by the brilliancy of those who, in 1830. voted with him for the repeal of the union. (Cheers and laughter.) And again, as to the hon. gentleman's speech opposite, there was slowness and a creeping about it that showed from whence it came; but let those who receive the country's money—tax consumers, and burthena upon the people, attack him as they pleased, he who was born in Ireland would go on to discharge his duty aright, and he trusted that he would live to see the day when Ireland would be a free legislative country, Lord ALTHORP said, the information which the hon. member for Waterford had received of the eight hundred persons was equally un founded with the statement of the eight bundled families. Lord Milton had sent him (Lord Althorp) the information which he had received from Mr. Challoner in Ireland—that information was,that there wereonly tour families under notice to quit. Three of those held about 30 acres in common, and the other was in a different lordship. Those were under notice to quit, r.ot in consequence of any thing relating to the sub letting act, but because they were now, and had been for a considerable length of time, in great arrears of rent. In consequence of the state ment made by the hon. member, Lord Milton had sent over to Ire land, and this was the answer he had received, and which he (Lord Althorp) had been authorised to state to the house. Mr. Challoner was at present with Lord Milton, and as this information had been sent to him (Lord Althorp) only on Saturday night last, the house must be satisfied with the accuracy of Lord Milton's conduct, that if there had been any mistake in the answer, he would have lost no time in forward. ing a correhon. Mr. O'CONNELL, in explanation, observed, that the document had made a directly different impression on his mind. He was per. fatly willing to submit the documents he had in his hand to Lord Milton, and also to the house, nor did he ever intend to throw out any accusation on Lord Fitzwilliam. Mr. DAWSON did not mean to indulge in the use of offensive language. Whatever the hon. member for Waterford thought proper so say of his (Mr. D.'s) public character or public services he had a perky right to do so either in that house or elsewhere ; he therefore did not hear the observations as to his being a clerk in a public office, receiving such large salaries from the country, and so on, with any indignation, because they were observations which every public man might have made upon him, and only those which occurred to every vulgar mind. (Loud Laughter.) But when the hon. member for Waterford chose to attack his private character, and to allude to his not now being member for Derry, and which was the consequence of his supporting the principles the learned gentleman had )always advocated ' • when he presumed to touch any thing affecting his private character, he (Mr. Dawson) had every right to say he had had the misfortune to receive his encomiums both publicly and pri. vately, and he had now the good fortune to receive his abuse. (Laughter and cheers.) Well did the hon. member for Waterford know that he durst not utter one-tenth of what he has done if he were not covered with a disgraceful impunity. I will not follow the subject farther than to say that I perfectly despise any thing the honourable member may say. One of the hon. members who had spoken had said that great complaint existed in Ireland, because Englishmen were sent over to fill offices in Ireland. If this were so not only that honour. able member, but all Ireland ought to recollect that the same coin. plaints, or more bitter complaints of the same nature prevailed in this country, for it was in every mouth that a vast number of young men from different parts of Ireland fill both the Customs and Excise Offices, to the general exclusion of Englishmen. The public ought to consider this, because without recollecting it the subject was calculated to excite discontent in the mindsof the Irish. 31r. GRATTAN said, if every landlord in Ireland was as kind and considerate as Lord Fitzwilliam, there would be much less of poverty and complaint in that country. He knew that sonic of the tenants on his lordship's estate had been served with notice to quit, but it was not intended that they should be removed (hear). Sir H. HARDINGE said he had also reeeived a lctter,contradicting, in the most positive manner, the hon. gentleman's assertion respecting the turning out tens*ts. Mr. BROUGHAM said, he hardly ever came into the house with out hearing such lam used as was used in no other house in England. Hon. gentlemen had got into the habit of giving each other the lie, sometimes more and sometimes less directly; he hoped the practice would be discontinued (hear, hear). Mr. LYTTLETON presented a petition from the parish of Hales. owen, Staffordshire, against the payment of wages in truck. He would here mention a fact which required to be stated in the house. When he brought in a bill on this subject last session, it included Ireland. The learned member for Waterford asked him to omit Ireland, and in reply he happened to say, ” I don't care for Ireland." This expression had been mentioned by the learned gentleman in Ireland, as if he (Mr. L.) did not attend to the interests of Ireland; but instead of his using the words in a contemptuous meaning, as had been represented by the hon. and learned member, he used them meaning to say that he did not care whether or not the bill he had proposed was extended to Ireland or not; and that, from a subsequent communication which took place the same evening regarding the bill, the hon. member for Waterford must have been fully aware of his meaning. Mr. O'CONNELL contended that he had understood the expression to be used ins contemptuous sense. Mr. PORTMAN said he wished to ask the secretary of state for the home department, what measures, if any, he intended to bring forward, with a view to relieve the extreme pressure of distress which was daily increasing? He contended that the people were in such a state of ex citement that it was desirable something should be done ; and if the government would not do any thing, they should say so, and individuals would then have an opportunity of making propositions to relieve the pressure of distress. Sir R. PEEL declined to answer the question of the hon. member, and said it was unfair to call upon him for a detail of the measures which lie might have in contemplation to relieve the condition of the labouring classes. Lord NUGENT remarked that the country would be ♦ery much dis appointed if the Government did not do something to relieve the op. pression of the working and middling classes. Mr. SLANEY said, the condition of the labouring classes in some of the southern counties was such that they could not be safely left much longer without some reliel : but he was confident that ministers would, on an early day. introduce measures for the relief of the country. Sir R. PEEL, in explanation, said, that though he refused to answer the question, he was anxious not to have it supposed that he was in different to the condition of the labouring classes; for, on the con. trary, the subject engaged his most anxious attention. So many measures were connected with the question, that it was impossible to give a specific teply as to one specific measure. He would suggest that the fittest form to bring forward the question was for some county meiniter, who was versant in country affairs, to bring forward some spe cific measure. Mr. POR I'MAN, in ciplanation, said. he had no intention of ask. Mg for indiscreet disclosures; but he wished to impress upon the right lomourable gentleman that delays were dangerous, and that the worst consequences would arise if he did not take some measures, and that speedily. Slr J. WROTTESLEY alluded to the tumults in Rent. He said, that when a constable was found to be insuificiartgo discharge his duty, and preserve the peace, it was the common practice to lend him more assistance ; and he begged that ministers would immediately take mea. sures to check the disturbances. Nor would he be contented unless that ministers also probed the causes of these disturbances to the bottom. Sir R. PEEL said that it was rather a hard request after government had been called upon to reduce the military force to the most limited scale to be called upon to furnish the assistance of military. He de. I fended the government from the charge of supineness with respect to the disturbances in the county of Kent. He had authorised the Lord Lieu. tenant of the county to re-organise the yeomanry. The Solicitor of the Treasury was at Maidstone, making inquiries, and he had sent down every police officer who could be spared from the metropolis under pre- sent circumstances, with a view to.come to some solution of the mystery which prevailed respecting the fires and other alarming proceedings. Sir Robert concluded by expressing an opinion that the fires were not the work of the resident population. Sir IL KNATCHBULL also expressed his opinion, that the con flagrations were not the work of the peasantry. Mr. BRISCOE regretted that fires had also broken out in the county which he represented (Surrey.) Mr. C.W.WYNN brought in a bill for the repeal of the oath of abjuration. Read a first time, and ordered to be read a aesond time on Friday next. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for leave to bring in a bill for the extension of the statute of frauds. and Mr. O'CONNELL spoke in support of the motion. _ - - 31r. CAMPBELL, after animadverting on the state of the law with respect to wills, observed, that the law commission, of which be was a member, intended to propose, that twenty years' possession should establish an undisputed title. He was opposed to the code system ; never had a code been Introduced which bad not produced more litiga. turn than previously existed. Mr. O'CONNELL explained. Mr. HUME said, he would ask the-learned gentleman whether the twenty years' possession liw was to be applied to Church property ? 3lr. CAAIPBELL said, that the law should not be the same for Church and for lay property, as the former was not hereditary. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL explained. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. Mr. HUME moved for a return °hire number of unattached officers, and the annual eipetise thereby incurred.—Ordered. Mr. HUME moved for a return of the number of officers who had been promoted' by brevet since the accesion of his Majesty.--Ordered. Mr. HUAI E moved for a return of o ffi cers receiving half-pay from tht regular army, and half-pay from the militia..—Ordered. On the motion of Mr.. HERBIFS, the report on the Trade with the Shish Posseslions Abroad Act was ordered to be brought up on Thursday. _ _ • Mr. BURRELL 'nosed the second reading of the Sussex Special Juries' Bill. Mr. CAMPBELL said, the Bill proposed that there should be two ' divisions of the county of Sussex, with two different lista of Juries. — Now why, he asked, matte a particular code for that county P The objection that the anuses were held sometimes at Lewes and sometimes at Horsham applied to Somerseishire, to Surrey, and to many other counties. Small jurisdictions were detestable, as they were under the influence of prejudice and partiality. Ho would propose as an amend ment, that the Bill be read that day three menthe. Mr. H. HUGHES seconded the amendment. Redid so, he said, foe three reasons ; because the bill applied to special, and not at the same time to common juries; nest, because it applied only to Sussex, whereas, if a good measure, it should apply likewise to Surrey, in which the assizes were also held at different places; and thirdly, because the juries should be chosen when the causes of action arose in the vicinity of Horsham, in the vicinity of Lewes, and vice versa. Mr. BURRELL said, that the juries had usually been chosen from the immediate naghbourhood. Mr. O'CONNELL observed, that if the improvement was not made with respect to the common juries, that was not a reason for not makin it with respect to the special juries. With respect to the smallness of the jurisdiction, it was not denied that each division would find a suf. &dent number of juries After a few words from Sir J. Shelly, Sir E. Knatchbull, Sir C. Burrell, Mr. J. Wood, Mr. Curteis, lewd Morpeth, and another member, Mr. CAMPBELL said, that though his opinion was not changed, as the sense of the house seemed to be in favour of the bill, he would with draw his amendment. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. Petitions against slavery were presented from eight different places in the county of Derby, by Mr. Munday ; from Selkirk, by Mr. Pringle; from Stafford, by Mr. Gisborne ; from numerous places in the county of Norfolk, by Sir W. Folks. ; from a place In Oxfordhhire, by Lord Honeys • from Harrow.on.the-Hill, by Mr. Hume • from Eye, by Sir E. leerrison ; from a place in Cornwall, by Mr. Pendarvs.. Mr. SHAW presented a petition from Dublin against duelling. Lord MORPETH presented a petition from Martyn Stayleton, Esq. against bribery in elections, and anotber from a private individual against the flame Laws. An election petition was presented from Queenborough.—The House then adjourned at a Quarter to Eight o'Clocit. LAW REPORTS. ROLLS' CO[ Nov. 9. TATHAM V. WRIGHT. _ Mr. 810170114131 Mia it was his duty humbly to move the Court, that a new trial on the issue devisavii re, now should be directed in this case. MASTZIL Of the RoLts—l wish to apprise you that I have attentively perused all the Judge's notes of the trial, and that I have made copious abstracts from the testimony of each witness, to which I can, if news. airy, refer. The particulars ofthis case have been frequently before the public, it is therefore only necessary to state that Mr. Brougham and Mr. Duck. worth were heard in support of the motion, and Mr. Bickersteth and Mr. Pollock against it. The Master of the Rolls gave the tbllowing judgment: His Honour, in giving judgment on this important case, repeated that he had carefully read over all the Judge's notes, abstaining, how. ever, from his summing up, because he considered the canvassing of it unnecessary to his decision. The testator in this case had been in the constant habit of communicating with men of business end intelligence in his county, and he had been engaged in and concluded a vast number of important transactions with them, executing bonds, mortgages, &c. making and receiving conveyances, in all which the soundness of his intellect had been amply proved by the best evidence. The only diffi culty was, whether the principle of Bootle and Blundel applied to this case ?He (the Master of the Rolls) was of opinion that it did not. In this case, the evidence was not to apply to one period or transaction, but to the entire life of the testator ; the testimony, therefore, of those who signed his will, who might never have seen him, or known any thing of him, was of little comparative importance. The general evidence was quite sufficient for the necessities of the case. Under these circum stances, the conscience of the Court had been sufficiently informed, and he should not grant a new issue. It had been sail, in the course of the arguments, that an ejectment could not be brought on account of an outstanding legal estate. He rather considered that that difficulty might be got over by an application to the Court. COURT OF KING'S BENCH,• Nov. 9. ! (Sittings in Banco.) The civic officers came into court about 11 o'clock, and the Rs- CORDEa handed in the usual warrant to Mr. Le Blanc, which was read and ordered to be recorded. IIIIIINZISS OF TB! COMM. Lord TENTEZDEN intimated to the :bar that the Court would take the new trial paper Instead of the Crown paper on every Wed. needy during the tem. They should sot, however, they thought, be able to take the paper to-marrow, as the motions for new trials from the circuit and the late sittings would not probably be die. posed of. BILL V. TUE MANCHESTER AND . lIALVOILD Wi12114101118 COMPANY. The ATTOANZT.OENZZAL --- ;;;011 foes rule to show cause why the verdict for the plaindir in this ease should not he set aside, and a nonsuit entered or a new trial had. The action, which was on two bonds under the seal of the Manchester and Salford Water-Works Com pany, was tried before Lord Tenterdsn, at the late sitting at Guildhall., when evidence was given on the part of the defendants to show that the bonds had been issued without their authority ; and it was contended that they were invalid, as not being given for an actual advance of money for the purposes of the company, according to the act of Parliament. The learned counsel now went into some of the facts as proved at the trial, and referred to the act of Parliament under which the company had been formed, for the purpose of showing that the bonds had not been issued in the manner prescribed by the act ; and he produced an affidavit showing, that the seal of the company had been affixed without the authority of the Court of Directors. Lord TZNTILDEN said, that the Court would look into the evidence before they came to a decision. CLAIM V. FEICIVAL. Mr. Baortsxm moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the plaintiff in this case, which was tried before Mr. Justice Bayley at the last assizes for Lancaster, should not beset aside, and a nonsuit en tered, on the following grounds : it was an action on a promissory note, made by Thomas and Mary Perceval, for the sum of 1,2001. in favour of Mr. George Clark, the plaintiff, who is the father of Mary Perceval, and the father-in.law of her husband, Thomas Peseeval. The note was couched in the following terms :—" On demand, we promise to pay Mr. George Clark, or his order, the sum of 1,2001. valuereceived, in stock of ale and brewing utensils ; this being to stand against me the undersigned Mary Percival, as a set-off against that sum left me in my father's will above my sister Anne's share." The learned counsel con tended that it was clear, from the words of the note. that the father had made a will, in which he had left 1,2001. more to his daughter Mary, than to her sister Anne. He subsequently wished to place them upon an equal footing, and took this method in order to save the expense of making a second will. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said the note admitted that it was given for a _valuable consideration.' iir.,l3Rouortax said that it did so, but then the father being still alive, and .ihe will, of course, ambulatory, it followed that if the pay ment of the note were to be enforced, the plaintiff might subsequently alter his will, in which event the defendants would have received no con. sideration for the bill. Air. Justice BAY Lz v— es, they would hare the stock of ale and beer barrels, &c. . . . . . . . Mr. BROUGHAM said that the note admitted of the eonstruction that' payment was not to be required during the lifetime of Mr. Clark. Mr. Justice J. PARKE said, it certainly did admit of that construe- ' tion, and that, in fact, the note was intended as a part of the share of the other sister, in order to equalise the disposition of the father's pro. perty. Lord TENTERDEN suggested the propriety of making a special case of the whole transaction. Mr. Baovoaasr thought that that course would be the most ad. vissble ; but, in the absence of any learned gentleman on the other side, he would, with the permission of the Court, take arule Nisi,witb the un. derstanding that it should, if possible, be turned Into a special case. The Court, on this understanding, granted a rule Nisi. A person on the floor of the Court addressed their lordships, and said that be bad been taken into custody on a Judge's warrant upon an indictment against him for libel. As the indictment contained 121 counts, it was requisite that he should be properly advised upon it; ' and be therefore desired to plead. It was here stated to the Court that the indictment against the de. feadant was for an obscene libel. Lord TENTZIDEN asked what time be required /—The prisoner; Until the first dayof next term. Lord TESTIMDEI said it was quite oat of the question upon a cri minal indictment to Clinch a time. The prisoner had four days from the present time so p The prisoner said that the expense would be great in getting from the Crown office a copy of such a long indictment. Lord TENTERDIN said that the expense would be the same weeks hence asat the present time. The prisoner said that he wanted to find the means to defray the expenss. Urd TENTEILDZX said that the only Cairn be could take was 111 plead the general issue, or to put in no plea; and he might take a week to consider of it, on the condition that he should take a short no tiee of trod. If he chose, however, he might plead within the four days, which might be his cheapest and best course. The prisoner said he would adopt the latter course. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. TREGOIT AatD °TIM= V. Arraultuair. In this emue, which was tried at Guildhall a few daysag the plan. tiffs were the assignees of SoppeU and Joiner, formerly habainhsss at the West End of the town, and the defendant a pawnbroker; and the action was brought to MOM the value of a eonsideroble m o m of goods, upon which the defendant had advanced money to the bankrupt*, on the ground that usurious interest bad been token on the loan. The defends was, that the property (consisting of articles of haberdashery) had been divided into small portions of tan pounds in value, and so pledged, in order to entitle the defendant to the pawnbroker's rate of in. tercet ; and it was contended by the Pawnbrokers' Act he was entitled to do so. The answer ei the plaintiffs to this was, that the pawning was not legal, inammush as the defendant bad neglected to deliver dup. licates of the several pawns u Act required; and a verdict was re. turned for the plaintilik. Mr. Sergeant ANDILIWS, OD behalf of the defendant, now moved for l a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was not according to law, the defendant having acted, u the learned counsel contended, only in accordance with the provisions of the pawnbrokers' act. The court declined granting a rule. LEVI V. DAILIT AND °Tants, DIALCTOIII OP THE PALLADIUM leas INSIIIIIANCE COMPANY. Mr. Sergeant Tunny moved for a new trial of this cause, an the ground that the jury had missed the question. The plaintiff had sought to recover the sum of 8001. the amount of a policy of insurancefor a loss by Si., which the defendants refused to pay, believing that the plaintiff had made an exaggerated and fraudulent estimate of the amount of pro perty destroyed. On the question of whether fraud had ot had not been committed, the case went to the jury, but they missed the question, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 400 L—Aids granted. 1.111101 V. This wean action for false imprisonment, tried during the sodas at Northampton, whereby the plaintiff obtained 1001. damages. A rule for a new trial was now applied for, on the ground that the damages were exeesaire. It 'mewed that the plaintiff had some claim upon an elderly lady named Wigram, who resided in the house of the defendant ; and, having gone there, accompanied by three of his children, and with much impor tunity, endeavoured to obtain an interview with her, a servant of the de. fendant, entirely without his knowledge, as it was alleged, sent for a con stable, who, on the plaintiff's refusal to quit the premises, placed hand cuffs on him, but only for a short time; and, subsequently, on plaintiff's renewing his importunities, the defendant ordered him two guineas, in order to get rid of him. He accepted it, snd asked for and obtained an additional halterown, to defray his travelling expences. Not sada. tied with this be went into the defendant's kitchen, and represented that the defendant had sent him there to have his dinner. The cook, ac cordingly gave him a good dinner, and he went away, but was not satis fied, for after all this be brought an action and got 1001. damages. The Learned Council who made the application, said the Learned Judge who had tried the cause, had declared the damages to be just 991. 19s. more than the plaintiff was entitled to. Rule granted. POLICE REPORTS. GUILDHALL.••••TWO lads were brought before Mr. Alderman Vs. tables, charged with throwing stones at the constables. The first of them said his name was Henry SAarkleford, and that he was living with his father, in Guildford-street, Boomabury. He was $ baker, but had been out of place three years. D. Forrester, the officer, said he saw the prisoner's band up in the act of throwing, but be did not see what came from it. Alderman VYNAILES said be should detain him till he heard some further account of him. Remanded. Theism. Doss', a firewood.cutter, In Brick-lane, Spitalfields, was charged with a like offence. James Mack, an extra-constable, saw the prisoner firing a brickbat, which struck him on the forehead, and nearly knocked him down. This was half an hour before he was apprehended by another office: for throw. ing something towards the police. Mack swore positively that he had observed him busy in the crowd for at least two hours, and the prisoner was committed for the assault. He bellowed piteously on being locked up. John James, a little boy, was fully committed, for stealing a hand kerchief in the crowd. At eight o'clock Mr. Alderman F•arsioTHE a and Mr. Alderman COPELAND came into the Justice Room to hear the charges against the prisoners who had been arrested subsequently to the Sluing Aid a . man having quitted the Chair. John Adowu, of King's Head-square, Shoreditch, was charged with striking several persons in the crowd wantonly with a stick, which he threw away on being seised.—Remanded. Stephen Bell was charged with crying " Go it !"and encouraging the crowd to rush against and annoy the police.—Discharged. George Osborn, a seaman belonging to the Waterloo Rut ludlaman, was charged with having " bonnetted" several respectable persons ; that is, beat their hats down over their eyes with his hand. His defence was, that he himself had been " bonnetted" by a drover as soon as he came up to Guildhall to see what was the matter. The Magistrates said that this fun might do on board an Indiaman, but not for the vicinity of Guildhall; but, believing he bad himself considered it merely a lark, they discharged him upon his undertaking to run without even looking backwards, to his lodgings in Ratdiffihigh. wee , and not to come again into the City. John Hill, John Cor d er, and James Kenny, who had obstructed or threatened the constables, were 'demobbed, and discharged upon their promise not to be seen in the City again. Several of the magistrates continued in attendance during the even. ing, and about 10 o'clock Sir P. Laurie and Mr. Alderman Winchester, who had been personally ascertaining the state of the eastern part of the City, reported that all was quiet there. The mob about Guildhall, which at noon amounted to 3000 persons at least, diminished gradually, and eight o'clock there were scarcely as many hundred persons. Above ten o'clock a sharp conflict took plate at Temple.bar. The new police force on the moan side had closed the gsa against a body of perhaps 300 men, who came from Spitalfields, and who had armed themselves with pieces of wood. Mr. Brown, the Marshal, insisted on , having the control of the gates as belonging to the City, and caused it to be instantly opened, which produced loud cheers from the mob of " The City Police for ever." They soon, however, lost their popularity by opposing the passage of the mob through the bar, and evouring to disarm them. In this rencontre Mr. Brown received a severe wound on the bead. The other City officers were also roughly handled. The , mob forced their way, but returned soon afteiwaids, and went quietly through the City. Ror and D. Forester, two of the City officers, were beaten with staves by the new police at this spot, between eight and nine o'dock. At eleven o'clock, Sir P. Laurie and Mr. Alderman Thorpe came to the Justice.room, and stated that they bad just returned from Temple bar, which they had passed through without meeting with the least ob. struction or annoyance on either side. At half-past eleven, Mr. Alderman Parebruther, who had w a lked to Temple-bar with Sir James Shaw, made a precisely similar report of the state of the streets. At twelve o'clock a rumour reached the Office that an affray had taken place between some rioters and the watchmen in Bishopsgate. Mr. Alderman Farebrother went immediately to the place with a large body of constables. He found all quiet, the crowd having en tire BO ly lldispersedET. -111 T IZ.—Mr. Mileson, a lieutenant in the navy, was brought before Mr. HALLS, charged vith having committed a riot at the Admi ralty yesterday morning. It appeared that about ten o'clock, the defendant called at the Admi ralty with a letter for Mr. Croke; but b.ing told that there was no answer, he rushed up stain, and brandishing a great stick, swan that he would see Mr. Croker himself. He was stopped, however, before he entered Mr. Croker's room, and given into custody. The defendant, ' in answer to the charge, said that in the year 1827, he forwarded some documents to his present Majesty, then Lord High Admiral, and since then he hadrepeatedly applied for them, but without success. and he called that morning for the purple of getting them. He went on to state that he conshlered himself a very injured man. Mr. Minimum. said the explanation in no way justified his con. duct, and therefore called on him tor bail. The defendant, whose conduct was very violent, said he would remain in prison rather than give bail, as he would not be answerable for not repeating his application. He was then removed. Dr. Collier, of Spring Gardens, and three of his pupils, named Bradford, Hanson, and another, were charged, Bradford with having assaulted a young man named William Creasy, Hanson and the other with an attempt at rescue ; and the Doctor with aiding and assisting. It appeared that the four gentlemen were walking abreast in the Strand, when they came in collision with the complainant opposite So. merset House. 'The complainant was knocked down by Bradford, and the clothes were torn from his back by the other parties. Bradford was then taken into custody by the police constable F. 136, and the other defendants attempted to rescue him, aed in the course of the scuffle that ensued, the policeman, and a porter belonging to Somerset House, who I had come to his assistance, received several blows front the defendants, one of whom, a Mr. Hanson, used a stick across the shoulders of the policeman. The defendant endeavoured to explain away the matter, and Dr. Collier denied that he had taken any part in the matter, except as peace maker. Mr. MINIIIIVLL not being satisfied of that, however, held all the parties to bail on the three distinct charges of assault. The defendants gave the required sureties, and Mr. Thomas empres. sed his intention to indict the defendants at the Sessions. Usriox.Hatt..—.Yesterday, Ply Co. was charged with stealing a piece of silk, containing 83 yards, the property of Means. White and Greenwell, Blackfriars-road. Mr. Oreenwell stated that the prisoner purchased some trifling arti. des. As she was on the point of quitting the shop, Mr. Greenwell's suspicions were excited. When accused of stealing a roll of silk, she betrayed gran agitation, and taking the piece containing 83 yards, from underneath her cloak, sne placed it on a chair, and falling upon her knees, implored forgiveness, and saying that she was was walin g t o pay any sum if she was permuted to leave the shop and return home. The prisoner was committed. Monday two men named Wilson and Edwards, were brought been Mr. enametans charged with behaving in a dosses manner, and dia, tubing the con at on assembled at a Dissenting ineeting.house in ICollier's.rents, Southwark. From the evidence of the clergyman and other individuals, it appear. that during the morning strike, at the above placej of worship, the coupe were disturbed by the noise of the defendants, who int rt .d, d tic yes for the purpose of creating a disturbance. The Loise n,, de by the defendants completely drowned the voice of the minister, , r ,, t when the clerk interfered to eft them, he was threatened. At l ength the uproar became so greet, the dareedints both hallooing and sin.., : . indecent songs, that it was found necessary to have further asaisti4 e l and after great resistance on the part of the defendants, they wer e b oth locked up. At the station-besse they were equally boisterous in theft conduct, and kept bawling and bootleg the whole of the night, t o tie r great annoyance of those persons living in the vicinity of th e pl ae , of dick confinement. The defendants said they were sorry for what they did, and were n ow willing to make any atonement fa their conduct on the occasion. Th e , added that they were intoxicated at the time. The Magistrate said that excuse did not palliate their offence. The minister said they did not want to behave rigorously to the de. tendons ; all they required was some guarantee that the oongregati o would not in future be disturbed. Mr. Czawssas said, that the may way to guarantee order and d e . carom in future, would be to indict the defendants at the sessions, ,:n,; they were accordingly held to bail. QuEsw.scauartz.--Yesterday, Winfarn Elder was charged by C. Hibbard, • with striking him, at half-past twelve o'clock o r Monday n ig ht, opposite the Horse Guards. The witness deposed, that the prisoner was in the mob, with his hie in hand, waving it, and shooting to the man who bore the tricoloured flag, " This way, my boy !" pointing towards the Strand. On the po. 'iceman attempting to take him into custody, he aimed a blow with a thick stick at his face, but the officer guarded his face, and rewired fl across the back of his hand. Mr. Purser saw; a mob, which consisted of nearly 3,000 persons, coming down the &nod. They assembled round the statue at Charing. ants. The prisoner was conversing with two persons, and, observing the direction which the rioters were taking, called to them, " This way, my boys !" and directed them towards the Houses of Parliament, (the prisoner,) walking on the pavement, at the same tim e wa i v i ng large stick. The mob then proceeded to the House of C ommons, where, finding the House closed. they returned to Downing.stmet. At this moment, the police, who had insinuated themselves amongst them, made a simultaneous attack, and disperW them. The rioters, during their progress , cried " Down with Wellington ! Down with the New Police I down with the Ministers 1 and Reform for ever !"

SCINTILL.E. A comic poem, just published, contains the following stanzas :. Poor fallen Charles I—we pity him, And own his fate is sore ; The X that stood behind his name Is placed, alas! before. And they who called him Charles the Tenth Hare learnt to look askance, And now address him by the name Of X King Charles of France ! Voltaire had a figure of Cupid placed in the hall of h: house, with this motto— "Qui quo to sob, void ton maitre, Il Pest, le fat, on le dolt e t re: " which raut s, th us rendered into English-- a you be, that look on this plaster, LOTS is, Of once was, or Mee will be, your master. Pvw VPON Puw.—Cabri ant lait, a kid dressed in milk, N pronounced in the same manner as the word Cabriolet, a light ; whence the punsters at Paris give t o a su p er i or carr i age :r ie this kind, the name of Cabria la Creme ; a kid dressed in cream. " Why don't you wheel that barrow of coals, Ned ?'' quoth a learned vendor of black diamonds to his man ; ee it is not a very bard job : there is an ins:lW plane to relieve yrou."—" Ay, Muter," replied Ned, who bad more relish for wit than work, the " pfsnsessay be iaeliasd , mayhap, but hang me if I em." PILTDDING.—A correspondent, who is curious in trifles, wishes to know whether the old custom of eating pudding before meat at dinner still prevails b, any part of this country ? Vs—in Norfolk and Cambridge. SWEET-HEAS.II24O.—A girl named Knott, who had im posed herself on the family of Mr. Lightfoot, at Camberwell, was de tected, a few days ago, robbing her mistress of a sovereign ; and on her box being examined, a dressing case and other articles, of the value of 301. was found in it. Among the property belonging to the girl herself, was a letter from a sweetheart, containing very zealous assertions of eternal fidelity, and ending with a broad hint foe a supply of cash ; with which, it appears, he was not so well stored as with love and duty. If we could hope that these nymphs of low degree would attend to our admo. skim, we would impress on them a rule without one exception, that a sweetheart who asks for money, or for pudding, is certain to fly off the moment the money gets scarce or the pudding gets cold. A DINNER-Bzu..—The suggestion of Mr. Hume, in the House of Commons, that there should be a regular dinner-bell for the use of the members at a particular hour, reels to recollection that there have been already dinner-bells in that house, in the person of Mr. Burke, towards the end of his career, and afterwards in that of his ex ecutor, Dr. Lawrence. The latter held the office for a considerable pe riod, though there is no record of any acknowledgment of it on his pan. Let us not be understood to anticipate that the honourable member for Middlesex is likely to be his successor; nor do we for a moment sup. pose that he aspires to such an honour. We arc, however, much =led, when the obviously incompl e t e nature of his proposition was by Mr. Brougham, namely, the having a bell to summon the members to dinner, without suggesting one for calling them back again, that Mr. Hume did :not offer himself a candidate for the latter office, especially as he had previously declared, that it was perfectly indifferent to him whether he dined or not. Dr. Johnson said, that a man who did not are about his dinner, did not care for any thing ; but probably Mr. Hume is of opinion, that to sit dinnerkss in the House, enabler him the more clearly to understand what is passing. Perhaps the next proposition may be, to provide a certain number of nigliimpe in a similar manner as cocked hats are kept in another place, for c4C3- &lona use. Tuesday evening week, a Court Martial was held in Co mentry, on two privates belonging to the 80th Rifle Regiment, which passed through Coventry on their march to Carlisle.
