VAUXHALL BRIDGE COMPANY. 'Yesterday, the Proprietors of Shares in the above un -dertaking held a general Meeting at the George and Vulture Tavern, L mbard-street, for the purpose of re• ceiving the Report of the Committee on the state of the Company's affairs. Mr. DAVIS having taken the thair,the Secretary read the Report. It stated, that owing co the unfavourable 'condition of the times, not nearly so many carriages,fcc. bad passed over the Bridge, consequently the tolls had been lessened considerably. The Committee, therefore, recommended that no more than a dividend of IL per share should be paid for the last year. The total amount received for tolls from the Ist of May to the R4th of 'October, was 4,9181. Ss. 7d. which, added to other items received, made the whole receipts 10,6031. 6s. 10d. The whole of this sum had been expended, in current expenses, dividends, *c. with the exception of a balance of 681. Is. ld. The Company have a reserve fund of '6,0001. consols, but is indebted to the amount of 7,0001. or 8,0001. Mr. CWALISIRS objected to a dividend of only 1/. when the last laid was 11.55. per shire, and moved a resolution that it. Ss. per 'Aare be declared as a dividend. The CHAIRMAN said, if more than U. were paid, the Proprietors would, in fact, be eating the calf before it 'was calved, for they would be encroaching on the nest half•year's dividend. *Met ommittee had recommended 'that only It per share should be paid, as the state of the receipts only warranted such a dividend . After some disttission, an amendment was proposed and adopted, 'authorising a dividend of 11. per share to be declared. A long conversation ensued, on agreeing whether 118 shares purchased for the Company, should or should not be again sold. Many shareholders objected to any lobbing being allowed in the shares of the Company. Ailtimately resolutions were carried, restricting the Com mittee in purchasing or selling shares, which could not in future be done wlthout the consent of the Proprietors. Thanks wete voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting adjourned. The Complainant—Oh, no, my Lord, it is impossible that I can be mistaken, though other people say I am. I shall not give up my claim on the word of lottery office clerks. if there's any mistake, it is on their part, I trust to my awn sense.. The LORD Mayo& observed, that there was scarcely any trusting even to the senses on such an occasion ; and asked her whether she did not almost feel the money in her pockets at the same time she fancied she heard her number announced ? The Complainant assured his Lordship that she heard the an nouncement as calmly as eouU be expected, and that she by no mean, fainted away. She certainly made sure of havin g the pro. petty ; she sat in the Hall, and went out when the other expectant' came away.

He concluded by throwing himself upon the mei cy of the Court, and prayed its interference with his Majesty to procure some mitigation of the sen tence, and save his family and friends, with a widowed mother, from grief, ruin and despair. The COMMON SEJIGEANT said that he did not - like to interrupt the prisoner in reading any paper he might thiuk advantageous to his case. He must tell bim gow however, that the proper course was to petition the Judge who tried him, and if he saw anything favour able in what he might think proper to state, be had no doubt that information would be immediately conveyed to his Mplesty's Secretary of State, whose interference alone could be effectual. For his part, he felt bound to say, that nothing could be dune in that Court on the present occasion.

Tut SManill Ala Itsuast Rerebres.—The Loth Marna ex. premed his oratilication at the circumstance of having received a number of applications for teachers of the Continental languages, from amongst the.lisfugees. One was from the Town Clerk of Cambridge, who UnaUy offered to defray the expenses of any Refugee of education who might be sent down, as competent to teach the Spanish bagasse to the Students of that University.-1 Similar proposals were liberally made from other quarters; but his Lordship was glad to avail himself of this opportunity to state, that Mr. Waterhouse, the coach proprietor, bad handsomely renewed his offer to take down, carriage free, any of the Refugees, to any part near which his coaches travelled. His Lordship expressed himself now, as be always had done, eitrelitely sollcitiOS t. .b. tam relief for these uefortimate Gentlemen, rather by any kind of employment than by means of pecuniary advances, which how ever ilberal, could only be temporary. The Refugees generally chewed a laudable desire to live by their labour, rather than the latter mode; but they had no alternative. Yesterday, a respectable-looking woman appeared before the Loan MA yea, and made the following curious complaint against a lotterroMce-keeper. She said that she bad purchased a sixteenth in the last Lottery, and that it had come up a prize of 20,0001. and was declared also entitled, under the scheme of drawing, to an ad ditional 10,0001. but that she bad applied to the lotterrollice-keeper, who refused to pay her share .f the prize, but offered six shillings and three half-pence only, which she refused. The LORD Maven said that the applicant must have been mis informed as to its being drawn one of the capital prizes. Applicant—Oh ! no, I am no:, for I was present at Coopers' Hall when the Lottery was drawn, and 1 beard the number call e d out, with my own ears, as a 20,000/. prize, with 10,000/. in addition, and I think it very hard they did nut pay me, as my share would he above 1,8004 and therefore I hope, my Lord, you will assist me in getting it. The Loan Ma vox had no doubt but that the applicant would be very glad to get the 1,8004 but he was certain she must be mistaken in the ticket.

The trenilainant declared, that when she quitted the parlour she saw the watch safe in the room, and no person whatever had gone in there &ring her abience, so that no person could have taken the watch except the prisoner. Mr. Roaasketl the prisoner whets he resided 7—He replied that he lived at No. 7, Dratirwiek Tertace, Qty Road. Mr. Roe pve directions that a search warrant should be imaa diately issued, and etecuted at the prisoner's residence to see if any trace of the watch druid be discovered there; but when the search warrant was drawn up, and Avb, the officer, about to set oh' to execute it, the prisoner told him he might save himself the trou ble of going so far, as he, the prisoner, had never lived at Brunswick Terrace in his life. The Magistrate then asked hint where he really did reside? The prisoner said, he should decline answering that question. At this time a genteel looking young woman came to the °Mee, and said, that she wished to see the prisoner, who was her husband. Mr. Roe had her shewn into the Magistrate's private room, before allowing her to see the prisoner, and asked her where her husband and herself resided ? She at first replied that she should not tell, as they wished to keep their place of residence a secret. Mr. Roe said it was of no consequence, as her husband had al. ready told, and the question was merely asked of her to see if he bad spoken truth, because if he had not, it would be worse for him: She then said, that as her husband bad told, she might as well tell, and gave as the place of their residence, "Elm-place, Bayswater." Avis was then dispatched along with her to search this place ; but he returned without discovering any trace of the watch. In the reticule, however, which the young woman carried in her hand, the officer found upwards of forty pawnbrokers' duplicates for various articles of property pledged; but there was no watch named amongst them. Tbi Magistrate inquired if any communication had taken place between the prisoner and his wife, or any other person,' since his apprehension on this charge? The watehbousr.keeper of St. James's parish said, that on the night the prisoner was brought to the watchhouse, a man who oc casionally acts as asupernumersry watchman contrived, unknown to any other person, to supply the prisoner with pen, ink, and paper, and privately conveyed a letter from the prisoner to his wife, who in consequence came to visit him the nest day. Mr. Res expressed much indignation at such conduct, and said that nothing could be more scandalously improper than the negli gence of the watchhouse authorities, which allowed of such a pro. ceeding where a prisoner was charged with a felony; there could be no doubt hut this communication had in a degree defeated the ends of justice, by affording the wife an opportunity of removing out of the way anything that could implicate the prisoner in guilt.— There was, however, Mr. Roe said, although no trace had been discovered of the watch, sufficient in the evidence of the complain ant to warrant the full committal of the prisoner for trial, and he was committed accordingly. One of the officers of the ?lendicity Society said, that the pri soner was well known at their office as a writer of begging letters to Noblemen and others, from whom he has for years past received to the amount of some thousands in that way; be had been in cus tody, and imprisoned upon such charges, and there were others pending against him now. Ddr.ltus ordered that the prisoner should again be brought to the office on Thursday next, to meet any charge the \lendicity Society might have opium him: UN lON.IIALL Yesterday a roan named Jim &ugh was brought up for final et. =Amnion, on a charge of having knocked down a Captain Davidson in one of the streets of the Borough, with intent to rob him. The Captain received such serious injury at the time of the ohtrage, that he was prevented from attendiag Until yesterday, in consequence of illness. The complainant, who still seems to be labouring under the effects of the outrageous assault committed Rpm him, stated, that on Monday night, the 13th of tktober, as be was returning home from the City, in passing through Si. Saviour's Church-yard, ke beard footsteps behind him, and as the place was rather unfre; `quented at the time, he hastened forwards and got into Cutlet: .street. As be was proceeding along this street a man came running up from behind, and gave him a tremendous blow in the breast, that knocked him down, and rendered him perfectly insensible. The Captain added, that the outrage was committed so suddenly, that be he had not time to distinguish from whom he received the blow; he had a great coat on when he was attacked, which was buttoned up to the top, and to this circumstance he attributes the saving of his life, fur the blow was given with such desperate force, that had not his chest been so well protected, it was ten !eV one that he would not have recovered the effects of it. liver stage the period above-mentioned, be has been confined to his bed, owing to inflaMmation of the breast and lungs produced by the !vio lence of the assault; the inflammatory symptoms hal, however, abated, in consequence of the application of leeches and copious bleeding. When he recovered his genies, which was a considerable period after he had been knocked down he did not fi nd any of his property missin g . O n l oo ki ng at t h e prisoner he could nor Identify him, from the circumstance of the suddenness of the attack. Shepherd, a watchman, stated that on the night in question, while sitting in his box, h e observed the complainant walking on the footpath along Cutler -street, and in a few moments afterwards be saw three men follow him, one of whom (the prisoner) ran towards the complainant and gave him a blow in the breast that knocked him from the pavement into the road, where he lay insensible ; the prisoner then stooped down as if with the intention of rifling the pockets of Captain Davidson, when witness immediately proceeded to the spot. The three men on seeing him, ran away, but he fol lowed the prisoner, and kept him in view until he reached the yard of the Old Ship Inn, where be took him into custody. The prisoner was known to all the officers as a man of the Word description, having been repeatedly in custody on charges of felony. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. • Fine.—Yesterday a fire broke out in the house of Mt.
