FATAL AFFRAY AT CARLISLE. -THE MILI- TART OBLTGED TO VIM CARLISLE, Jun 6. " I have just returned from witnessing a most me. lanchr ly occurrence. Sir Philip Musgrave. of Edenhall. the ministerial candidate for this city, was on hit can vass this morning in C.ldewgate, one of the suburbs. Caldesvgate is principally inhabited by persons con• cerned in the cotton manufacture, who arenow in a state bordering on starvation, earning from 2s. 9d. to 4s. per week, and whose feelings respecting the Corn Lows are , most acute. The sight of Sir P. under such circum stances caused great irritation, and he and his friends were pelted with stones by the rabble. He took refuge , in a private house. The mob increased to some bun. dreds, principally, however, women and boys ; but their appearance was sufficiently formidable to prevent Sir P. attempting to make his way through them. He con t:nued a prisoner until afternoon, the Mayor all the time busying himself with swearing in special constables. About half past one I was coming into the city from that quarter where I had some business, when I met W. Hodgson, Esq. the Clerk of the Peace for the County, and Mayor of the City, proceeding to the place of Sir P.'s imprisonment, with two or three constables, and a dozen or so of Gentlemen. I turned and followed them at a distance, and saw them advance to the front of the mob; and here I mry observe that I, and everybody near me, remarked the temerity and foolishness of this attempt at rescue, as this small party would infallibly be driven back, and a greater disturbance be raised than ever. Mr. H. and his party advanced, preceded by a resolute constable. The rabble slowly retreated, but a party of them, esconced behind a wall which enfiladed Mr. Hodgson's little party, suddenly poured such a vol. ley of stones among them as compelled an instan taneous retreat. Part of Mr. H.'s little party betook themselves into the neighbouring houses, which were hospitably opened for them (for only a very small part of the population participated jn this outrage) and part betook themselves to the city ; but I do not think that any of them were taken prisoners or otherwise ill-used, than as I have mentioned. Sir P. continued a prisoner all this time, and I and two or thre.f acquaintances posted ourselves at a sufficient distance to be out of danger, and near enough to see the further proceedings of the mob. The rabble now began to pour from all parti of the town, and I think, about half an hour after the re pulse of Mr. Hodgson, an officer, serjeant, and three artillerymen, marched to the scene of action; they were followed by a company of the 35th ; then came another company of foot, then a few Magistrates and private Gentlemen, and after them a body of special constables. The whole party then halted on the bridge of the Caldew, which separates the suburb from the town. They paused a few minutes, forming into march. ing order, and then pushed forward, the soldier: with bayonets fixed and swords drawn. When within about a hundred yards of the rabble they paused for a few minutes, when I was told the riot act was read, but I was not near enough to ascertain the fact, as I kept aloof near the bridge, where I was out of danger, and , could see all that was going on. They then charged, and the mob retreated, pouring on them vollies of stones, of which indeed they threw a good quantity during the pause above mentioned. They cleared the area opposite the house of Sir Philip's imprisonment with the bayonet, and then fired three vollies up two small streets, called Shaddongate and Queen street, in quick succession after the retreating mob, the hindmost ranks of which continued after the bayonet charge, to pour vol ies of stones upon the soldiers. Sir P. his friends, and the special constables, then marched up, tire street together, and in a short time the troops re formed themselves, and returned to the Castle, meeting in the way a troop of horse, who had also been called out to quell this tumult. So far the matter seemed tri fling, for every one near me believed that the vollies were nothing but blank cartridges fired over the heads of the mob. But to my great surprise I was overtaken , on my way home by a woman in the greatest agony of grief, who requested me to visit her son in law, who was shot. I went with all speed, and found him shot through the chest, and bleeding profusely. After doing what was necessary, I left him to see a young womar. She was shot through the temple. I then hurried to a young woman, whom I found under the care of a surgeon, who happened, like myself, to be on the spot. She was in the house at the junction of the two streets. A ball had gone completely through the house, entering at one indow and going out at another ; in its passage it made a terrible fracture of the upper part of her Skull. She was trepanned, and the depressed pieces extracted or elevated ; but it is very improbable that she will survive. I returned to the woman I mentioned before, and found her dead ; the man shot through the body seemed something recovered; there are hopes, but feeble ones, that the ball has not touched the vital organs. I also heard of another individual being , wounded, but did not see him—five in all." EXTRACT' OF ANOTHER LETTi R.

But this is no thing compared with the circumference of the great chestnut•tree on Mount btu', m Sicily, which measures within the hollow of the trunk about 204 feet. ADELPHI THEATRE.

I have indeed proceeded with new spirit, which your patronage has infused into me, I shall prepare to meet you again, when it will• be my endeavour to deserve success.—Ladies and Gentlemen, with the sincerest gratitude for your kindness.

DANCINO AND SKAITINCIe...A brother of Stnor Giordani was with him when in Dublin : he was a first-rate dancer. They had their Italian Opera at the Smock Alley Theatre ; and soon after the opening Giordani, the fine dancer, who could not speak Eng lish, came to the pit-door, and, as lie was free of the house, expected to be admitted to sit an.l see the play. The door-keeper, not knowing him, refused to let him in ; at the same time people were entering, paying their money, &c. Giordani suddenly hit upon his expedient— stepping back, he gave a apt ing and caper in the fist style of his graceful and elegant talent. The door keeper immediately knew who he was, and with a low bow admitted him into the pit. This fine dancer Gior dud was also a fine skaiter. He skaited a mile in a minute ; and, on one leg only, faster than the most expert could upon two. He had a string stretched about four feet high from the ice, and in his full course used to go fairly over it. When he had his benefit at die theatre, lie put in his bill that he would skait on the stage; and thus he managed it : he had a number of grooves made, and gliding tilt ough these, with his great proficiency in his dancing at t, displayed all the attitudes of skaiting to the perfect delight of die vectators.— VlCeilfes Ifecolic:tions. The first stone of the great sluices fornfng the en trance of the Canal sat Ghent, at Ternenzen, was to be laid un Tuesday last.

ROBERT SAVAGE. --..•.-,. . There has not probably for some years past been 'brought to justice a more clarine t dangerous, and ex• tensive violator of the laws than Robert Savage, one of the four criminals executed yesterday at Newgate. lie began his career of crime at an ear ly age; for at the Old Bailey Sessions in June, 1821, at which time be 1% as about 16, he was convicted in the name of Charles Hall, of stealing three pair I (shoes, and µas ordered to be transported for seven years. He did not, however, go abroad, but was sent to the Penitentiary, Nlillbaok The prisoners being removed from that place, in can. sequence of the sickness which prevailed there, Savage, with o hers, was put on board the Ganymede convict ship, at Woolwich. There his turbulent spirit several times brought him to disgrace. After serving about four years, he receive.l a free pardon, and was discharged. —At this time he appears to have formed resolutions to follow an honest and industrious course of life, and actually worked hard as an excavator at the new Lon don bridge. His health becoming impaired, he found himself i capable of much exertion, and being unable to earn as much money as before, his impatient and s Went disposition di.coveaed itself by an attempt to poison himself, which rash act had nearly proved fat r 1 to him. After his recaver y, unknown to his family, he joined some of his old associates at the hulks and rather bad characters, arid followed from that period until his ap prehension no other occupation than that of a midnight plunderer, during which interval, the annals of came do not, perhaps, furnish an instance of any one having committed more numerous or wore audacious acts of housebreaking and burglary. Although of course the greater number of these instances will remain unkno some few have been particularized, in which it has been ascertained that he was a principal actor, which were as follow :—About six months back he broke into and robbed a house at Homer ton, carrying away such a considerable quantity of plate, linen, and other property, that he was obliged to disincumber himself of a part by leaving it on the road. It was he who killed the dog in a court•yard near Peckham or Camberwell, and having entered the house, stole some of the plate. He made an attempt to break open a house neat Stoke Newing ton, but on cutting through the door or window shutter panels, a spring alarum-bell was set in motion, which disturbed the family, and Savage and his companion were closely pursued by the patrols, and narrowly escaped apprehension. The risk which he encountered in prosecuting his wicked course of life, and the daring and ferocious spirit which he possessed, may be judged of by the following occurrence:—Having, in company with another, broken into .s house about twelve miles from town, he was about to retre at with a quantity of valuable booty, which be had packed up, when he saw a person come down the stairs, who, raising a blunderbuss to his shoulder, called upon Savage to drop the bundle which was in his hand. Instead of obeying this command, he instantly drew a pistol from his breast and pointing it to the party, by whom he had been addressed, desired him to do his worst; the person replied, that if Savage would not fire, neither would he, arid he immediately let fall the blunderbuss, which most probably was not loaded. Savage then ran out of the house, pulling the door after him, and went off with the wolen rods unpursucd. He told a person who visited him in Newgate, and who was desirous of as certaining whether he had been assisted by accomplices, that the robbery at Mr. Biggs's (the offence for which he suffered) was not undertaken in consequence of any information obtained from persons connected with the family, for that, in fact, he never would rely upon such kind of co-operation ; but that it was, as he termed, it a u chance job ;" he stated, that all the Bank notes which he found at Mr. Biggs's were a 51. and a 101. but that there were bills and checks to the amount of several hundreds—these he destroyed, but regretted that he had not sent them back in a parcel. He further stated, that he actually burst open the front kitchen door, where two female servants were sleeping, without awakening them ; upon some doubt being expressed as to the probability of this, he decl rred that he had often broken into bed-chambers where persons were asleep, and taken away property without their being disturbed. Not many nights before Mr. Biggs's house was entered he made an attempt upon that of Mr. Annett's, which is within a very short distance, but was unable to ac complish his design. Savage always went armed with pistols, and has been heard to say, that whoever should venture to apprehend him must take the consequences, and there is little doubt but his threat would have been realized. Beideld, who suffered with Savage, and was related to him by marriage, was by no means so vlolent and ruffian-like in his conduct; but be for a considerable time had associated with some most de. prayed and desperate characters of various descriptions. He bad formerly been In the possession of some property, and he has been heard to declue, that amongst those who accelerated his destruction were the infamous Hunt and Probert, with whom he was accus tomed frequently to consort. A paper, of which the following is a copy, was dropped by John son shortly before his execution yesterday. The lines ate from a well-known hymn. " It is religion that can give Sweetest pleasures while we Gee; It is religion will supply Solid comforts when we die. " Life is the time to serve the Loa*. The time to ensure the great reward; And while the lamp holds out to bum, The vilest shiner may return. " James Autumn." Tue Twain Twins'. —This singular and extraor dinary undertaking has recently attracted the notice of sever.il of the Nobility, Members of the House of Com mons, and many other scientific and intelligent gentle• men. On Friday the whole of the Committee of the' Port of London, accompanied by some of the leading Members of the Corporation of the. City, proceeded to the spot, and were received by Mr. Drumm sen. Mr. Armstrong, and Mr. Brunnell, jun. the Engineers, and conducted ever the whole of the works. Tuesday, an inquest was held on the bodies of Mr. Roger Jenkins, of Malpas Pill, near Newport, farmer, and his nephew, who were both killed between Crosy tying and the New Inn, on the Pontypool Road, that morning. They were going to Pontypool with a wag gon load of hay, having a young horse in the team ; they met on their way a man seated in an empty wag gon, driving at a furious rate, at which their horses took fright and :an away, and in endeavouring to stop them both fell down, and the wheels passinf over their bodies, caused their death immediately. file driver of the' waggon has been commi‘ted to Monmouth Gaol, on', the Coronet's warrant, to isike his trial. Three out of seven convicts under sentence of trans portatioo, who left Chester last week, on their way to the hulks, contrived to make their escape of the coach, in passing through Hamp.hire.

The City claict , !t for cleansing. lighting and paving. lie u.ed to pave haute own house, but the City took up the stones, and raised the grou::1 so much, that where his premises were mended by a step, !hz 7 were left a deep one below the surface of the pavement, and it c,, him 1001. to accommodate his shop to the alterations. lie wo, ; :i pay the City for paving, but he•objected to paying twice over fin lighting and cleansing.

ST R KET. - Mr. Levy, one of the lessees of the Kensington Trust, applied ye;. terday to the sitting Magistrate , T. HALLS, F.sq. for a .ummo:.: against Messrs. Smith and Wil, for having on Mond.ty forcibly driven through Knightsbridge and Hammersmith gates, and re fused to pay the toll; thereof, alleging as their rea'on for so doing, that they were Under Sheriffs proceeding into the country w:ts, election writs, and consequently were free of toll.

Mr. HALL said the assault was of a very gross nature, and order. ed Ctiahtofndbail. After the decision of the Magistrate, Uriah turned towards hint and thanked him very respectfully, and demanded of him was th. 4 all he could do? MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday, Mr. Lardner, a baker, appeared to an information, obtained against him by Johnson, the informer, setting forth that be (Lardner) did, on the let day of June, in the parish of St. Ann, Soho, sell a piece of bread, professing to he a pound in weight, and that he refused to weigh the same, as commanded by the Ar t in that ease made and provided ; the said bread not being thefoncy bread, intended by the said Act, to be exempt from the provisions of the said Act. Sir Gnomes Rummer said he could not, in justice, as the (1.- fendant had no solicitor present, proceed upon this incorrect iv. formation. There was no such place as " St. Ann's, Soho." It shook! have been St. Ann's, in the liberties of Westminster, in the county of Middlesex. Mr. Johnson was therefore told that he must draw up another information, whichbe said be certainly should do. Jobs Joshua Peters, a wretched looking youth, was plsced at the bar, charged by Mr. West, the Master of St. Ann's poor-house, with having been taken in the act of clandestinely conveying e:'e bottle of gin into the said poor-house, for one of the paup ers th ere i. s dwelling, against the r u l es , & c . thereby incurring a penalty not ex ceeding :Ct and not less than IW. In default of payment, he was committed for fourteen days to the House of Correction. Jane Breton, a dirty squalid young woman, was charged by an elderly woman, named Howard, with having assaulted her. This assault arose out of the horrible affair which on Wednesday threw the Seven Dials and its neighbourhood into so much confu sion. The complainant, Howard, gave her evidence at the investgation before the Magistrates, and among other things, stated that Mrs. Brown bad always treated the child with great partiality.— This excited the displeasure of some of the neighbours, and yester day a mob assembled before Mrs. Howard's house, among whom. the defendant, Jane Ibown, was one of the foremost. She accused the complainant of having conspired with Mrs. Brown to murder the child; and, amongst other things, wished she had a bundle of 604 to burn them both on. She at length, in her fury, broke a pane of glass; and when the complainant went into the street to her to get her pay for it, she struck her. Thii . was the assault complained of ; and Jane Brown was or dered to find bail. IidARY-LA-BONNE. • Mr. Perkins, landlord of the Hope public-house in Tottenham street, came forward to substantiate a charge against Mrs. 31artha Bent, of No. 81, John-street, whom, between nine and ten o'clock. the evening before, he had given into the charge of Johnson, the in spector of the St. Pancras watch, for assaulting his person, and breaking his windows. Kind feelings will sometimes enter the breast of a constable, and more frequently so towards females of Mrs. Bent's occupation ; Johnson took the lady's word and honour in pledge for her person, and she now forgot to red e em it. Mr. G lumen expre ssed his disapprobation of Johnson's conduce, and ordered him forthwith to produce his charge. Mrs. Bent soon entered the office with the assumed consequence of a duchess, her hands displaying almost as many splendid rings as fingers,and her brows denoting contempt of all human contingencies. After the charge had been supported by two respectable wit nesses' Mrs. Bent said, It is all false, I can bring my elbow to prove k. Two young gentlemen robbed nay house of a ahawl, a decanter, and three wine glasses—they frequent the theatre, and use that man's house, who is as bad a man as can he, and his house is as bad a house as can be t and I bad a right to look after the thieves. You, Mr. Perkins, do you say I struck you r Mr. GairsTru.—He has not only said it hut sworn it, and I be- Um it; you must And bal. Mrs. Bent cast a look of disdain upon the Magistrate, and, with haughty step, retired to the outee office, *here some ladies belong ing to her establishment Were in attendance. John Baker, keeper of the Farthing Pie Ton Gate, in the New. ad, was charged by Mr. &pith, of Pon land.place, with °btu %tu g his carriage, abusive language, and extortion.
