KINGSTON SESSIONS, Oct. 17. 'The Rev. Mr. MANN, the Chaplain of the County Prison in Horsemoager-lane, reported the state of the prisoners under his spiritual charge. It described, that prior to July last, he had every hope that the exertions that had be-w made to improve their minds by education would have been attended with very beneficial advan tages; but that since that time, the observations he had, made, induced an opinion, that the favourable results he had anticipated would not be realized. Mr. BRISCOZ said, he was altogether incapable of accounting for the change which had taken place in the mind of the Rev. Mr. Mann, as it was totally at variance with his former Reports. He was himself firmly per suaded, that to give instruction to the prisoner, was the way most calculated to retrieve him from the paths of 'viciousness. The worthy Chaplain had said, that before July last the attempts that had been made to improve, the moral characters of those in confinement, had been' attended with happy consequences ; and why, therefore, he would ask, if the same system had been followed, was not the same result to be expected ? Without mean ing to convey the slightest censure on the Rev. Mr.' Mann, he should move that the Report be referred back to the visiting Magistrates, to see if any obstacle existed in the adoption of the course of instruction cyclered to be used in the Prison, and if any, to see if the same , Could be removed. Sir TIioNIAS TURTON could not see that the Report 'was at vat ',ince with those formeily made. He always held the opinion that a gaol was not the place to give tducation to a felon. To give the prisoners moral and 'religious instruction would be rendering them a service, but to force education upon them by constraint, was more likely to be mischievous than good. He would oppose the motion. Ur. RANDAb JACKSON seconded the motion. The Rev. Mr. COURTNEY was decidedly inclined to think that no good would result by an attempt to edu cate prisoners, from the short time they were in con finement. He other wise wished that every man in the kingdom could read and write. HENRY DRUMMOND, Esq. the High Sheriff of the County, was not an advocate for education in prisons, except as to► their moral and religious in , truction, and irny education that had not these points in view was a detriment to the State, and to the man who possessed it. Mr. Suratiatt could nut avoid conceiving that the proposed motion was conveying an indirect censure on the Chaplain, which he was fully convinced he (the Rev. Mr. Mann) did riot deserve, as the course of in struction ordered to be adopted in the Prison had, to his knowledge, never been varied. His own belief was, that no good would ever be derived by teaching pri toners to read and write. Moral and religious instruc tion aas all they required, and was the belt education they could receive. Mr. PALLMICR thought the motion was totally useless, insomuch as the Act of Parliament which related to the instruction of pi isoners gave the visiting Magistrates the same authority to inquire into every point relerred to in the Re, rt, as fully as if a special motion had been made on the subject. The motion, after sume further discussion between Mr. Denimn, Mr. Briscoe, and others, was put and negatived by a majority of about seven. A mc mot ;al was presented on behalf of many of the iallabitants cf Kennington and Vauxhall, complaining that for many years past they had been inconvenienced by Vauxhall Gardens being kept open at unreasonably late hours; that the most indecent behaviour was in• Bulged in, in the public roads, and thrit the language and conduct of many who frequented the Gardens was of the worst description. Indeed, so great had the evil grown, th , t it was beyond the power of the police and magis:racy to subdue it, and outrages of the most vio lent nature mere committed, without there being any means of detecting them; and these again were in creased by the crowds that collected to see the fire wor ks go off after the hour of midnight. Another evil was, that it kept all the public houses in that neigh bourhood open during the greater part of the night, and tl e most d rring violations of tl:e peace were committed. The housekeepers were also greatly annoyed by the excessive noise of the fire-works, and they not untie— Trendy endangered the safety of buildings in the neigh. br;urhood by the body of fire which often fell upon', them. The memorialists were not desirous of imposing I 11 vexatious or unnecessary restraint on public amuse talents, but merely desired the preservation of the peace, and t!:e protection of property. It was proper to ob serve, that a man could be seen from the high road,, dancing on a Tr pe amid the fireoworks; and this, added to the show of a balloon ascending from the Gardens on several nccarions, brought crowds of people in the neighbourlvod, mho remained there, making a tumult and disorder for the remainder of the night. Mr. JACKSON said, that he believed the Magistrates had nothing to do st ith a part of the memorial ; he knew not that tl:ey had any jurisdiction over the fire work,; and it would be unseemly for them to know that such things were. There was, however, an Act of Parliament under which the patties who complained Might probably obtain relief ; and as to any noise, if it existed to the extent of being a nuisance, they might apply to a (limner from which they might assuredly obtain redress. He did not know that they (the Ma. gistrates) had authority to grant all that was required, but he thoughtit right that the Bench should let the complainants know that they had a remedy. Mr. Summit said, it would be better to reserve discussion till to morrow (this day), when the licence was applied for. Mr. Scants+ hoped the memorial would make a due impression on the Court, and that every member would attend and deliver his opinion when the licence was asked for. He was the last to at tempt to put down this kind of amusement, but he thought It might be much qualified.—The memorial was then received. When a person takes up his freedom in the town of Abiwick, he is obliged by the charter of that place to jump into an adjacent bog, and sink.up to his chin.— This custom was imposed by King John, who, travelling that laity, and his horse sinking fast in the hole, took this method to punish the people of the town for not keeping the road in better order. Among the projects which the trench Ministers have in contemplation for the ensuing Session, is one upon the Game Laws. It is said, that the duty upon a licence to carry arms will be raised to 1(1l)fr. it is now but 30. The right of sporting will be confines' to estate owners possessing a certain numbbr of acres; Sporting will be entirely interdicted in the vicinity of forests, plantations, and enclosures, where the Royal Hunt takes place. A married woman, named Mary Mann, the wife of a labourer at Itochford, was committed to Essex gaol on Friday, charged on the Coroner's Inquest with the wil ful murder of her own child, which, shortly after her delivery. LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Om 17. THE SOLICITOR (ANIMAL. A Few minutes after the Lord C•iief Justice took his seat, Mr. Tindal, accompanied by Mr. Scarlett, entered the Court. when the Lord Chief Justice, addressing him, said :—" Mr. Tindal, his Majesty having been pleased to appoint you his Snlicitor.General, yon will take your place within the Bar." Mr. Tindal took his seat accordingly - . OLITHWA4TE V. WILSON. This was an action in-trover brought by the assignees of a bankrupt, named Payne, lately carrying op busi ness at Stdmouth in Devon, to recover from the defend ant, the proprietor of Carpenter Smith's Wharf, a quan tity of gozds, formerly the property of the bankrupt, and detained under the following circumstances: The bankrupt carried on the business of a linen draper at Sidmouth, and held a similar establishment at Lyme. In 1824, the bankrupt being in embarrassed circumstances, was under the necessity of quitting Sid mouth. Previous to his departure he transferred his stock to a brother, who was a minor. He some time after engaged with a tradesman at Lyme, named Leo nard, to purchase his stock for 3001. Payne then went to London, but finding Leonard's acceptances not ne gociable, returned to Lyme, and took possession again of his stock. He transmitted the same to the defendant's what f, to await his order. Leonard becoming a bank rupt, his assignees considered themselves entitled to the stock which Payne had transferred, and they instructed Payne to hold the same for them. Payne was then made a bankrupt, and his assignees brought an action against the defendant to recover the goods. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintif. TH A VIES IN N.—MA RODEN 9. WA ITHM AN AND ANOTHER. This was an action of trespass to try whether Thavies Inq is extra parochial. The declaration set forth, that on the Sin of January, 1825, the defendants entered a dwelling-house in Thavies Inn, and there took and dis trained certain articles of furniture of the value of 71. and wrongfully detained the same until the plaintiff consented to pay cettain rates. The defendants pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. GURNEY stated, that the action was brought by a tespectable inhabitant of Thavies Inn, Holborn, for the purpose of trying the validity of certain rates made on the above Inn. The plaintiff would prove that it had been many years occupied by persons following the law, and at all times considered extra parochial. An at tempt had been made on the part of the pas ish to rate the inhabitant% and the defendants having, as Magis trates of the City of London, signed the warrant . under which a distress was levied, the plaintiff had brought his action. Mr. SCARLE/T, on the fart of the Parish Officers, admitted the trespass, and undertook to prove the lan was liable to pay the rates in dispute. The Learned Counsel addressed the Jury. The only questiOn he said wa•, whether it was extra parochial? and tie should she* it bad been rated from the earliest period. A former trial of the same question had taken place, but another inquiry being deemed nt cessary, this cause came again before the Court, with additional evi dence. It would appear that a great part of the property of the kingdom had been released from the payment of some of the rates, enumerated in the statute of Elizabeth, but no one had ever contended that the sAme was extra parochial. The It gal documents to prove a place extra parochial, wet e first, proof that the place in question pad tithes to the King. In the next place, by tke st.itrite of King William, in all places extra parochial, there must be two assessors appointed. His Loatned Friend would hive to prove, in answer to the defendants' case, that tithes were paid, and that two assessors had been ap pointed. The Inn had been rated to the paiish from the time of the statute of Queen Elizabeth, down to 1786. It had been considered in the parish as early as the reign of Edward the Third. In the will of a re spectable citizen of L -ndon, named Thaive, to w!iom the Inn originally belonged, it was described as being on the south side of Holborn, a:id in the parish of Sr. Andrew's. In succeeding conveyances, it had always been described as a part of the said parish. Having got into the hands of the Bencliers of Lincoln's Inn, it was sold by them again, and conveyed by Lord Mansfield, their trustee, as being in the palish of St. Andrew. It had, in shot t, been so long liable to tams, that nothing hut an Act of Parliament could make it extra parochial. The Learned Counsel t' is -at produced a deal of docu• mentary evidence, as well as living testimony, to prove the Inn had been rated ; but it was admitted, that since 1776, no parochial rate of any kind had been paid by the inhabitants of the Inn. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE left the Jury to say, whe ther it was made out to their satisfaction that naives Inn, not oaly stood in the parish of St. Andrew, Hal horn, hut that it had been made liable to rates. His Lordship observed, that the circumstance of theie having been no rate paid since 1776, notwithstanding so many new houses had been erected, was proot they had no right to rate. • Ths Jury found a verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages £4 Ios. 6d. The Inn, by the declaim'. is not liable to be rated. Among the first acts of the SPEA KER of the House of Commons, will be his issuing new Writs for Members, to s.tve in Parliatnent, for those places where seats have become vacant since the General Election. • MANCHESTER, OCT• 14.--There has not been so much animation in the market this seek, either for goods or yarns, as for two or three weeks past; partly, perhaps, owing to the little softening of the cotton mar ket; partly owing to the circumstance that the fall shipments to Russia are neatly over; and partly to the advance, in particular species of goods, having induced buyers to suspend operations. We do not hear, how ever, of atty actual reduction in prices having been sub mitted to ; nor is our opinion of the healthful condition of trade shaken. The husband and family of the itinerant show-woman whose death was occasioned by eating lino holesome salmon at Wallingford fair, have all been seriously ill. A woman named Nichols, of Benson, has died from the same cause; and a man named Wheeler, of that place, has not yet been able to resume his labour. Beer is sup posed to have been the medium in which the doctoring substance was added to the salmon.—Reading► Mercury Should we be favoured with a short period of dry weather, the present will prove as fine a wheat seed time as this country ever had. The heavy rains came just is time, and suitable to all lands, by compressing the soil, and making it in a firm state to receive the seed, instead of a hollow one, (unfavourable to wheat), in which it was left by the hot summer. In Sweden it is no uncommon thing to see the men employed in knitting stockings, while the women may be seen spinning wool, weaving, heating the oven, and teaching the children to read, all at the same time. PIRACY. BREST, !acmes 8. About the 15th January, 1826,The cutter the African 'was sent on a trading voyage to the different factories on the coast of Africa, from Senegal to Prince's Island and St. Thomas's. We sailed from St. Louis (Seoegal) on the 19th January, going at first to Goree to water; after which we anchored at Sierra Leone in the begin ning of February. Till then we had nothing to com plain of, but the ex rbitant dues levied there by the English Collector, for selling some dried vegetables, and replacing some of our water. On the 13. h we weighed, with orders to keep as close in shore as pos sible, taking the direction of Cape Mensurado, where there is an American factory. On the 18th we saw a brig to the leeward, which came up with us, after we had been lying to about an hour, on account of the night. As she came near us she slackened sail, hailed us at first in English, and ordered us afterwards, in French, to lower a boat, accompanying the order with two mssket shots. M. Revillon, the supercargo, went on board the brig at once, where be was seized, with his papers, the boat's crew, and the boat itself. The boat returned in liAlf an hour, and we supposed that it contained our shipmates; but ten men suddenly jumped amongst us, with daggers in one hand, and pistols in the other, ordering us, some in French, some in Spanish, to .go below. The Captain and Mate retired to the c ibis, and the sailors to the forecastle. After shutting us up, and placing a sentinel upon us, they pro ceeded to rifle the store-room and officer's trunks, other pirates joining them. At three in the morning, after keeping us confined five hours, they sent back the su percargo and boat's crew, and sailed before daylight.— 'Mt vessel was left in a state of dreadful confusion, and we were obliged to return to the factory of Albreda, in the Gambia, where we fortunately found his Majesty's ship Le Toulonnaise, from the Captain of which we received the greatest kindness. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a deputation front the Spanish and Italian Refugees waited upon the LORD Al A roa, and represented, that in consequence of the funds out of which they had been supported for two years, bring exhausted, two hundred of them were again reduced to de plorable distress. 'They prayed relief. The Loan MAroa promised to call a meeting of the Committee, to consider the hest means of obtaining further relief. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, Ann Taylor, an elderly female, was put to the bar, before Sir dolor NUMMI, charged with illegally conveying spirits into the New Prison, Clerkenwt.ll. Sir Joliet PERRINO convicted the prisoner in the mitigated penalty of 10L which she nut being able to pay, was committed for two months to the House of Correction. The Overseers of Christ Church. Newgate-street, appeared to skew cause why they refused to relieve a journeyman bookbinder, named Metcalf. There was a as turn-out,' it seems. in this busi ness In August for a rise of wages, and a Mr. Remnant, on the part of the masters, advertised that employment could he given to two hundred, whereby they might earn twenty-four shillings a week, and upwards. The complainant applying for relief at this time, was ordered to call upon Mr. Ilentuant, but lie declined doing so, as Mr. Williams, the Overseer stated, on the ground that he must II •ist consult the Members of the Lodge, No. .2, to which he belonged; and he afterwards declined, on the ground that it would be an act of impropriety to accept a place vacated by a turn-out, and declared he would rather his arm should drop off, than he would work under the new price. As the man refused labour, when offered to him, and as it was known he was receiving 7s. a week from the Combination, as an Inducement to continue out of work, Mr. Wil liams thought he could nor, in justice to the parish, offer him a fur ther temptation of an allowance of Ss. a week. Metcalf, in reply, said, the only reason he had assigned for refusing to go to Mr. Remnant was, that the Bible work he should have been set to, was the most lalonious in the trade, and that he was in a very weak state of health. To prove this, he called the foreman to Mr. Bird, bookbinder, in Hamm Garden, who stated that the Bible-binding was extremely heavy Work, and Metcalf was a very weakly man, and he said the parish officers ought not to regret that he did not ac cept the work offered, as all the persons that had done so had been discharged by the masters last Saturday, and they would hencefor ward be unable to obtain employ anywhere; and, therefore, instead of being but a temporary claimant on the parish funds, Metcalf would probably have been a permanetfi one. _ _ _ , Sir Joint Prisms° said, as the man had work offered to him, and refuted it (with the close of refusal he had nothing to do), he had no power to order him rebel. The Overseers bad done all they could be compelled to do. Mr. Williams said. it was impossible that parishes could be saddled with the support of mechanics throughout their combinations to raise their wages. _ _ Dlr. Bird's foreman here appealed pathetically to the Overseers, representing the man as being in a state of starvation ; and remind ing them, that although they were now surrounded with comfurts, their circumstances might one day he altered. Rt. JOHN ritkILMG confessed de man must not be allowed to starve now, although he had misconducted himself in August ; and the Overseers promising to attend to the case, the Alderman dis missed the complaint. BOW-STREET. Thome: Brewer, alias 7onsas ;Varna Montgomery, was yesterday morning placed at the liar, charged with an offence we cannot de,cr Witnc4ses having been beard, the prisoner was desired to give 24 hours' notice of bail, himself in the sum of 2001. and two surcties in the sum of 3001. We understand that the Gentlemen whose names were nn Mon. day banded in as sureties for Mr. Charles Griudell, have since de clined giving bail. A young Gentleman, a midshipman belonging to one of his :[Majesty's vessels, came to complain of the conduct of the London Carrier Company, who engaged to convey to Woolwich his sea chest and bed for 4s. but afterwards refused to perform their con tract, unless he paid them an additional half-crown.—The Clerk of the Company attended, for the purpose, as be said, of assuring the Magistrate, that every thing was perfectly fair and proper on the part of the Company ; in proof of which he produced a prospectus, by which it appeare d that the Company limited the distance to which they conveyed property to five miles from Temple. bar ; and as Woolwich happened to be beyond that distance, he conceived that be was not obliged to perform the cnutract, although he ad. nutted that the complainant had paid the 4s. on the express under standing that his chest and bed should be conveyed to Woolwich. Mrs HALLS immediately directed the defendant to perform his undertaking, observing that if the Company had many such servants to conduct their affairs, their ruin wa, not far distant. MARL BO ROU G H-STREET. Henrietta Anna Jones, a rather pretty young woman, was brought from St. Ann's watch-house, on the charge of robbing a Gentleman, who gave his name Barangem, but who declined making his appear ance at the office to substantiate the charge. Sir G. FAIMANT having asked her what she had to say? she re plied, that the Gentleman accused her from a spiteful motive; that he was the one that personated the " Hammersmith Ghost" some years since, and through which joke her aunt was shot ; that he was in the habit of visiting a young woman who lodged in the same house with herself; that on one occasion be wanted to take improper liberties with her, which she resented; that on Monday night be abused her, and gave her in charge for rubbing him, as he said, six weeks ago. _ Sir G. Fiaamir told her, if her story was true, she could pro secute him for false imprisonment, for not attending to make good his charge. The prisoner was then discharged. itosszans av Tin Bassin,..-Otorloite Will alias Farmer, was charged-with having committed various robberies at the Ba zaar, Soho-square. On being placed at the bar, the Magistrate's table was covered with articles, consisting of trinkets, scent bottles, and purses, with an innumerable quantity of fancy articles. lilies D uckett, of the Stand, No. 269, deposed, that on Friday evening she obse rved the prisoner at Mrs. Garrett's stand, No 271, and whilst that Lady's attention was drawn off, the prisoner took up a morocco reticule, which she hid under her shawl, anti walkeL. towards anoiher stand; she instantly infuriated Mrs. Garrett of the The prisoner, in her defence, said, that she Intended to purchase the reticule,and had the money in her hand at the time she was taken. Mason—She was upwards of 100 yards from the place. The prisoner was then questioned as to whether she was married? when she replied in the affirmative, and said she lived in the K est . road. She was fully committed for trial. Mr. Flu lard Vitris was charged by Thomas Morony with ob, strutting him in his duty.—lt appeared that Mr. Vitris had be en dining with four Gentlemen, and was taking leavp of them at the corner of Drury-lane, when the watchman, Morony, came np and asked them why they did not move on? Mr. Vitris replied that he was shaking bands with his friend, urn which Morony collated and dragged him to the watch-house. Sir G7FARRANT fined Morally Ss. for being drunk, and Ins. pended bins fur a fortnight. MARY-LA-BONNE. Yesterday, Mr. Azten, a Buckinghamshire lace-manufacturer, came to make good bis claim to who: of lace, which had been lost and found under the following . .4ingular circumstances : As Sarah Williams, an elderly female , was;aiiiiigalong Oxford. street, one evening last week, an old woman, whom she never saw before, asked her to take care of a bag for a few minutes. Mrs. Williams consented; but as the old woman did not return, it was brought to this office. In it was found a box, containing upwards of forty pieces of thread lace, and a miscellaneous collection of wearing apparel.—The publicity given to the circumstance by the daily Papers soon apprised the owner of its fate. It appealed by the evidence given yesterday, that the woman who left the bag is employed by Mr. Axten, of Amer ham, to tra. vel with his lace as a hawker, and she assigned sudden illness as a reason for leaving it in the care of a stranger. Mr. Gareorrks congratulated Mr. Asten on his good fortune that the lace had fallen into such honest bands; and after recom mending that Sarah Williams should be rewarded for her lante ~ ty, which Mr. Aiten promised to do, the lace was restored to him. HATTON GARDEN. A young man, named Thomas Burnett, was charged, on an in formation under the Act 39 Geo. 111. with having in his possession a printing-press and materials, against the statute, not having given notice thereof to the Clerk of the Peace for the County. ice. The Magistrate held that the printer's name was no evidence that he had types.—lnformation dismissed. UNION-HALL The officers of the parish of St. Celia appeared on the complaint of a poor woman, whose bed had been seized for fifteen shillings, poor -rates, and the expenses of the process amounted to 17s. Mr. CHAMIRTO reprobated, with indignation, such an infamous, rascally, roguish job, and said the collector had taken a circuitous way to put money in the pockets of his own friends, who were con cerned in the process, at the expense of a poor woman, who was in a state of beggary; whereas, if application had been made to that office, the entire expenses would amount to no more than 21.6 d. THAMES POLICE. Tam Wennrec Robert Capon, a watchman, stationed in the Commercial-road, appe.; red to answer a complaint preferred against him by a Mr. Henry Edward Baker, for a neglect of duty. Mr. Baker stated, that on the 15th of October, be is always in the habit of having a large party, to commemor.ite an event ever to be remembered, and never to be forgotten, which event it was then unnecessary to mention. However, up tan tb •t occasion, a great number of his friends had assembled; dinner was served up, and the guests had already borne ample testimony to its excellence, by the apparent happiness the partaking of it seemed to have in fused among them: the pies and puddings had already under gone gestation, and were succeeded by the d• table Glover and Stilton cheeses, stout, &c. The Ladies bad retired, and the bottle was beginning to circulate freely; the usual constitutional toasts had been drunk, and they were put about to give that domestic toast, " The single married, and the married happy ;" when, to! a burglarious knock came to the door; the servant imagining that it was some impatient guest, immediately opened it, and waited their entrance, hut no one entered, nor did any one appear. He shut the door, and returned to enjoy the good cheer he had left. Another knock came, which VIA; aucceeded by knock after knock. Added to that, the Ladies in the drawing-room, while sipping their tea, and masticating their muffins, were sere naded by a concert on tin kettles and old saucepans; in fact, such an uproar had been created, that the guests of Mr. B. unable to endure it any longer, were about retiring, but that was not eves kit to their option, for the hall-door, on the outside, was fastened by fixing a stick across it, and it was with the greatest possible ex ertion that they were able to force it open. The annoyance continued until about two o'clock in the morning. I He could not attribute this conduct to any one except a certain neighbour of his, who was envious of his domestic happiness, and had done it to torment him ; but what he had to complain of was, that Capon had his box exactly opposite to his house, and must have heard it, and never in any manner interfered to prevent it. Mr. BALLANTVNII-1 presume, Sir, that the 15th of October is the anniversary of your wedding-day? Mr. Baker, (enthusiastically)—lt is my wedding-day, and a day I always hold sacred. Mr. IL wisevme asked Capon what he had to say for himself? Capon said, that be did not hear all the knocks. Mr. Baker—You could not but have head them, for you cried, past twelve o'clock—all's well; during which time they were beat ing the kettles, throwing shot up at my windows, end knocking violently at the dour, and I coil's not get out, for they had me fastened in.—Mr. Baker's statement was confirmed by two of his friends, who bad partaken of his hospitality. Mr:Rasta/awns said, it was evident that Capon had neglected bis duty, and this Gentleman should not be annoyed. He, there fore, should suspend him for two months, and he was sorry he had not the power of dismissing him altogether. A Gentleman stepped forward, and begged to interfere for the watchman. He said, he was a neighbour of Mr. Baker's, and what had been done was merely a joke. Mr. liatusuersia said, the case had been disposed of, and all the parties then left the office. Friday night, while Miss Chester was making het obeisance to the audience at the close of her performance of Lady Townley, the green curtain, falling somewhat too rapidly, struck her violently on the nape of ►he neck. The wolves have lately committed great depredations in •arious parts of the Netherlands. In some instances. numbers have made their appearance even in villages, and two or three children have been destroyed by them.
