■ d' ‘T of the COEMISSIONERS CoNckRNING CHARITIES. • by a Olneunission under the Great - day of Motet in the Arm year of your Majesty's Tilsit, to inquire concerning Charities in Ragland and Wales, do further report, That they have proceeded with the inquiries intrusted to them , and that the result of such investigations as they have been enabled to complete since the presentation of their last Report will be found in the ensuing pages : PARISH OF ST. MARTIN VINTRY. VELLOWES'S CHARITY. By indenture of demise, dated letb November, 1720, made betwee2 William &Rime', Esq. and Sir Jobs Fellowes, executors of the wIl of Thomas Coulson, of the one part, and Sir John Ryles, Bart. and eleven others. of the other part, eciting, that Henry Ilaylin, Esq. had, for the consideration of £5OO, by indenture of bargain and sale, dated Tth March, 1622, granted to the said Thomas Coulson and his heirs, to the use of him and his heirs, two me‘sttages and tenements, with the appurtenances, situate on the west side of Nicholas-lane, in the parish of St. Nicholas Aeons, London • and also reciting, that Thomas Coulson, by Ms will, dated 11th 0c;.1697, had devised all the residue of his real and personal .tars to the said William Fellowes and Sir John Fellowes, and their heirs , and further reciting, that at a vestry held for the united parishes of St. Michael Royal, and St. Martin Vintry, in 1712, it had been agreed by the then Rector of the said parishes, with the approbation of the churchwardens and principal pa rishioners thereof, that the said William Fellows.. and Sir John Fellowes should have liberty to build a vault on the north side of the chancel of the church of St. Michael Royal, to be a place of burial for themselves and their families • and that the said William Fellowes and Sir John Fellowes, at th eir own costs, had caused a vault to be built in the chancel of the said church, in which vault the said Thomas Coulson had been since interred : It was witnessed, that in pursuance of an agreement made some time after the death of the said Thomas Coulson with Montague Wood, the then Rec tor, and the parishioners of the said united parishes, and in honour of the memory of the said Thomas Coulson, and to the intent that the said vault might always thereafter be appropriated by the said William Fellowes and Sir John Fellows,, their heirs, &c. as a place of burial for themselves and their families, freed and discharged from the payment of all duties and fees of burial in the said vault, except such as were thereinafter mentioned, they, the said William Fellowes aid Sir Jobn Feilowes, demised unto the said Sir John Ryles and others their executors, &c. the aforesaid two messuages or tenements is ;he said parish of St. Nicholas Aeons, with the ap- purtenances to hold to them, their executors, &c. from the Christmas ensuing the date of the said indenture, fur 1,000 years, at the yearly rent of 65.8 d. payable at Michaelmas. And it was by the said indenture declared, that the said demise was upon trust, that they the said Sir John Ryles and others should in the fire place, out of the rents and profits of the said premises, pay to the said Montague Wood, and his successors. Rectors of the said united parishes, the clear yearly suns of £5, by two half-yearly payments; and on further trust, that they should dispose of tbe re sidue of the rents and profits of the said premises towards placing out and apprenticing such and so many poor children, male and female. born within the said parish of St. Martin Vintry, to such honest trades and employments as the said Sir John Eyles and others, or the majority of them, should think fit ; and it was pro vided, that the money paid on apprenticing any one such poor child should not exceed the sum of 210, with a proviso, that so often as the trustees should be reduced to the number of five, the survivors should assign the term to so many other persons, officers or inha bitants of the said ward and united parishes, as, with the surviving trustees, should make up the number of eleven persona, of which number the Alderman and Deputy Alderman of the said Ward of Vintry, and the Rector of the said parishes for the time being, should always be three. The above statement is taken from a recital in a trust deed, bearing date 14th March, 1775. The last trust deed bears date the 20th October, 1820. and at the time of our inquiry there were twelve Trustees living, including the Rector of the united parishes an.i the Deputy Alderman of the Ward of Vintry. The trust property at present consists of a warehouse,which was built about forty years ago upon the site of the houses above men tioned, and is now in the occupation of Sophia Hackett Crank, under a repairing lease for 21 years from Midsummer, 1819, at a gond rent of £65 per annum. Mr. Crank, uncle of the present tenant, was the lessee, under a building lease for 42 years, which expired at Michaelmas, 1818. at the rent of 212 per annum. The present lease was made in pursuance of an agreement with him, a the highest bidder, at a Meeting held by the Trustees, of which public notice was previously given by Advertisement in the News r vers. 'l'he premises being in very bad repair, one of the Trustees, who Is by profession a builder, was appointed at a meeting of the Trustees to survey the premises, report their state, and to give notice to Mts. Crank of the repairs required to be done. The survey was accordingly made. and notice given, and the repairs have been commenced by Messrs. Babington and Co. who are under tenants of bits. Crank. The sum of 25 a year has been regularly paid to the Rector of the two parishes, and the residue of the rent has been applied In occasionally apprenticing poor children of the parish of St. Martin Vintry, except that the sum of sel was annually paid out of it from the year 1812 to 1816 inclusive, to the Vestry clerk, who is stated to have received the rents, and kept the ac counts for a former Treasurer of the Charity. The premium al lowed was formerly £5, but the Trustees have lately, in some instances, increased it to 210. The cumber of apprentices placed out during the last eight years has been nineteen; there is now (July, 1848), a balance in favour of the Charity of £416 7.. The balance is in the bands of Mr. Thomas Whitby, Deputy Alderman and Trustee of the Charity, at Interco. at five per cent. and that Gentleman has kept an account of the sums received by him, and the sums dis posed of towards apprenticing. We think it our duty to recommend that the balance should be invested in the Public Fund., in the names of some of the Trustee., and that the dividends should be applied for the pur pose of apprenticing. The annual rent of 6s. Bd. has not been paid to the grantors of the lease for many years, no demand having been made of it. MUST TRRYILIAN'II CHARITY. It will be seen on reference to our Statement of the Charities belonging to the Dyers' Company, that Henry Trevilian, by will, bearing date the 24th of September, 1636, gave to that Company 4100, to be disposed of to the best advantage ; and directed that out of the benefit of the said 4100. 44 should be applied every other year to buy eight gowns of 105. price a-piece, to be given by the Master and Wardens of the Company to four men and four poor women of the parish of St. Martin Vintry, that should he of the age of 50 years at the least, or otherwise lame or impotent, on the 2d February, every second year, for ever. The Master and Wardens of the Company do not bestow the gowns in the specific manner directed, but every other year 44 is paid by the Company, which is expected In the purchase of gowns given to poor widows, expended by the Churchwardens. The distribution of this Charity has been for many years confined to women. roux SZYDOII S CNAIUTT. It will be seen, on reference to our account of the Charities nder the management of the Merchant's Company that John Illydon, amongst other charitable bequests, gave to the Company, an% to be lent to six young men ut the Company, at interest, amounting in the whole to 410 per annum, of which 43 per annum was to be applied to the poor of St. Martin Vintry ; and that that sum, together with 42 6s. 7d., being the dividend on 477 14s. Td. Old South Sea Annuities, which had been invested by the Company In respect of arrests due from it to this parish on account of this benefaction, and another of 416 Ad. a year, given to Martin Barrett to this parish, as hereinafter next men tioned, is annually paid to the parish. The entire sem of 45 Is. 7d. is annually received from the Company, and is carried to an account including the distribution of bread, clothes, and money. to the poor. MARTHA BAIIIIITT'S CHAIM. It will • be seen also, on reference to our account of the Cha rities connected with the M ' Company, that Martha Barrett, by will, bearing date 25th September, 1534, gave to the said Company, 41 . 100. to be lent to youag men thereof, at the interest Of ik3 6s. ed. of which the sum of 16s. id. was to be paid to the poor of St. Martha Vintry. This sum is annually paid by the Mercers' Company, and la curled to the above mentioned account. HOMY slurries QUAILIIT. It appears front an entry in a Court-book of the Company of Stationers, bearing date the 4th December, 1604, that the Com pany received a legacy of £52 fruni the executor of Henry Billage, in respect of which they were to pay yearly to the Churchwardens and Overseers of St. Martin's Vintry 525. the same to he distri buted by 12d. every week, in bread, to the poor and needy of the said parish. It further appears by an entry in another WO of the Company, dated 7th February, 1673, that a sum due fur Ave yeah attars of the said Sta. per annum was ordered to he paid to the parish, and that it was also ordered that the Cupipauy gatauld be obliosi by writing for the flue payment of the said annuity in future. It does not appear that any such obliptiop is now in the pos. , session of the parish,. but the sum of sea. is annually paid by the; Company, and is sytriyd to the Chose mentioned acc. ant, which a weekly distributionsof bread is Dade. • out of Goma swanta's A tablet in the church, which contains a list of the benefacdoss which have been made to this parish, records that George Swaipe gave Ss. per annum, for ever, to the poor of this parish, to be paid by the Company of Coopers. This sum Is regularly received at Midsummer from the Coopers' Company, and is carried to the general account. maw ANTAS . II DONATION. Arnoqgst the Charities recorded on the tablet above-men tipued, it is stated that Susan Amyas gave, in the year 1650, .C 5 per &Daum, for ever, to the poor of this parish, to be paid by tip trustees of ber almshouses in Old-street, in the parish of St. Luke. • This pmn is received annually by the Churchwardens from one of the trustees of Amyas's almshouses, and is carried to the general account. PICT= THOMIGAeII CUT. It is stated in she returns made to Parliament in 17t6, that Peter Tbomegay gave, by will, the date of which is not men tioned, Z5O South Sea Annuities to the poor of this parish, then vested in the East India Company, and producing 50s. per A transfer has been made of this sum into the 3 per cents. re duced, and the sum of ASO stock now stands in that fund, in the names of Mr. Thomas Whitby and Mr. Joseph Proud, the di vidends of which are carried to the general account. SAND ' S CHAIM. John Rand, by his will, dated 27th of August, 1706, and proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, gave to the church wardens and overseers of the poor belonging to the parish of St. Martin Vintry, London, and their successors, for ever, for the use of the poor of the said parish, a rent-charge of 285. per annum, for ever, issuing and payable out of a large mesauage or tenement called Fishermen's Hall, situate in Thames.street, London, and directed that the said churchwardens and overseers, and their suc cessors, should lay out the said rent charge in buying of bread, and on every Sunday. fur ever, divide and distribute the said bread amongst the poor of the said parish of St. Martin Vintry, Leaden, not exceeding one penny loaf a piece. The tenement called Fishermen's Hall is supposed to have been taken down a great many years ago, and a warehouse, formerly used by a sugar.baker, was bulk upon its site, being No, 78, Upper Thames-street. The firm of Clemetson and Robinson are the present occupiers of this warehouse and premises, and Knowlys, Esq. is the owner of the inheritance. In consequence of the rent-charge having been unpaid fur many years, application was made to Newman Knowlys, Esq. a trustee for the proprietor, who was then a minor, and it was agreed be tweets him and the parishioners, that the arrears of the annuity for six years should be paid. The sum of £8 Ss. was accordingly paid by Mr. Knowlys, as due at Lady-day, 1828, and was carried to the general account of the present year. )lAIGACIT DAME ' S CHAZITY. The particulars of this Charity, in respect of which the sums of 7s. 6d. per annum is received from the Ironmongers Company are detailed in the Tenth Report. This small sum is carried to the general account. The following distributions are made in respect of the eight last mentioned charities; fifteen two-penny loaves, the cost of which is 61. 10s. per annum, are given every Sunday to as many poor people as apply, their number usually varying from five to eight. A sum, generally amounting to 51. is also given at Christmas, together with a share of the King's bounty-money which for the last ten or twelve years has been 51. per annum • and a sum vary. ing from 31. to 41. is bestowed on the poor at Ba iter. Of the money thus given, that denominated the King's Bounty is given to poor housekeepers residing in the parish, but the red. due is distributed among those who receive parochial relief. The last-mentioned distributions are made on Christmas-eve, or the day preceding, and in Easter-week, and all applicants be longing to the parish receive either more or less in proportion to their wants, and the numbers of their families. It is stated that upon these occasions the distributions, including the sum expended in bread, always sacred the money received on account of the re spective Charities, and that the surplus beyond such receipt is paid out of the panes rate. The Vestry-clerk and the Churchwardens enter in the minute book of the vestry an account of the sums distributed at Christ mas and Easter; and the sum paid for the Sunday-bread is brought into the Churchwardens account, a general statement of which, including the receipt and expenditure of all the Charities, except Fellowes's, is printed annually, and distributed to every payer of rates in the parish, but we think it desirable that a book should be provided, in which a statement of the money received and applied in respect of the various Charities should be kept dis tinct from those in which the parochial accounts of the Church wardens and Overseers are entered. DS. HOMPIIIIM HOOT'S CRAILITT. Dr. Hedy, by Will, dated 9th November, 1706, gave to the united pariahs., of St. Michael Royal, and St. Martin Vintry ,8100 for apprenticing poor children ; and for the ordinary vhisor of that his charity he nominated the Archbishop of Canterbury for the time being. The charity therefore being thus placed under the superintendence of a special visitor, we have abstained from any further inquiry relating to it. DUMFRIES, Oct. 13. Betwixt five and six o'clock ou the morning of Thurs day last, smoke was seen issuing from the two-story tenement, si tuated in Loch:labels-gate, opposite to Queen-street, and occupied by Mr. Dawson, auctioneer, and below, as shops, by Mr. Robert son, grocer, and Mr. Dryden, flax-dresser. T he alarm was soon given, and shortly after six, the engines were brought to the spot and commenced working ; and before the lapse of many minutes, the flames reached the slates, and after melting the glass, blazed most fearfully through the windows, so much so tbat the strongest fears were entertained for the safety of . the surrounding buildings, not excepting those on the opposite aide. Betwixt seven and eight o'clock the flames became weaker, the effect of the engines more apparent, though the water that supplied them had to be brought from the Nitis, and the pipes, in tome instances, were found too short for the purposes required. Before nine o'clock, when the streets were cleared, the danger was over, though not until Mr. Dawson's house, and the premises adjoining,bad become a moulder ing mass of ruins. CORONER'S IN UEST. Yesterday morning at ten o'clock an Inquest was taken at the surgeons-room of the London Hospital, before Jose Us wim, Esq. on view of the remains of Andrew Kirwan, who died in that institution on Wednesday morning. The reason for instituting the inquiry at so unusually early an hour was in order to guard aginst the threatened attack of an infuriated mob, who had anent bled and continued immovable outside the hospital during the en tire of the previous night, vowing destruction to the building and vengeance on its inmates unless the body of the deceased was im mediately delivered up to them. The cause assigned for these violent demonstrations is as follows : The deceased, it appears, was an Irishman, and an impression having gone abroad among his countrymen, that it was the stand ing practice of the London Hospital to open and anatomize such Patients as died within its walls,—an operation to which they had a great antipathy,—they determined to preserve the corpse of their friend from such mutilation ; and for that purpose congregated in large bodies, and vociferously demanded its delivery. This was of course refused, the coroner's jury not having returned their ver dict; and a riot and disturbance, the consequence of which might have been moat disastrous, was just on the eve of commenting when Mr. Miller, the principal officer et Lambeth -street, and Mr. Almereth, the chief constable of Whitechapel, fortunately arrived on the spot, and by argument, and giving a pledge that the body should remain uninjured, they pacified their irritation. Though they succeeded thus far, they were unable to prevail on them to disperse, and they continued to assemble in the Mile-end-toad until the warrant was issued for placing the corpse in their head.. The ease itself was one of ordinary occurrence. The deceased was passing along Rucliffe-cross, when he was knocked down by a horse, and his side coming in contact with the kirb stone, five of his ribs were broken. He was removed to the hospital for assist ance; but the injuries he received were so serious, that death was the cuasequence Verdict—" Accidental death." An old woman named Pierce, who had been a pauper for 17 years of liosbam parish, lately died, and under her pillow was found 2,oool.—Brigkten Candle.

About half-past three the men appeared at their stations and shortly after the signal was given. Campbell and Nouhon shortly went a-head, and at Vauxhall bridge were six or eight boats length in advance. Their opponents strained every nerve, and although they once or twice drew upon them, they never , could come well up; and on Campbell and Noulton reaching Putney-bridge the others were le or 20 boats length in the rear.

A BARKING ISRA AB RAIIAM V. ABRAHAM. —The parties in this case ware, as may be supposed. Israelites ; and though of the sane stogoossen, were not et all related ; but for the sake of our readers understanding the matter, we must desig nate them as senior and junior. The latter was plaintiff, and his demand was for let 4s. sd. wages, Etc. He stated that he had been hired by the defendant, his namesake, at Is. a week and his wages, as he called it, for whi ch he was to " bark" at the door of his mas ter's ready-made and second hand clothes•shop, somewhere in the vicinity of the Haymarket ; be was moreover to have a week's warning or a week's wages; and over and above all this splendid saliry and excellent keep, he was to have sixpence out of the pro. fits in every case where be could " lay it on" to the amount of seven shillings on any one garment ; and part of his claim was for four good and lawful sixpences, " honestly" earned by him in his avocation of barker. For five weeks the ancient Abraham had well and truly paid him his wages ; but on the Wednesday even ing of the sixth week, Abraham the younger had occasion to go to the Commercial-road, and, as he said, had permiasloo to do so ; but . . . : • _ - - upon his return at " half at ter ten " what does his lord and master do but turns him oat into the street, and would neither pay him his wages, nor hand over the aforesaid sixpences; his account stood thus : One week's wages Ditto lit lieu of warning Four days'" whiles." at Is.6d. &day 6s. Od. Commission on four fiats noodled, at the rate of 6d. on each 7s. profit La. Od. Paid for his supper one evening when the Abrahams had company. and his was dispensed with Os. 4d. Cash lent . 4s. 3d. Hume himself could not have stated a financial matter more mi mutely ; and the older Abraham was called on to say whether the account was correct? 4 . No, bless you," was his concise reply; but though be was thus far brief, he presently showed he bad not the talent of saying " many things in few words" for himself ; wbUe his daughter (who was as fine as rouge, roses, and an immense bonnet could make her), and the turned-off junior kept up a per petual jargon. He bad been a bad boy—would go out of an taco. ing—leave or no leave—was saucy—in short, he was " black as Erebus," and anything but what he ought to have been. Miss Abraham too, with a lisp, that to be admired most be heard, beg ged to assure the Court that on one particular evening, when her " papa" was out, his namesake thought proper to absent himself, in spite of her remonstrances, and uncaring for her loveliness ; and, ruthless boy, left her to the indelicate duty of putting away the breeches, and other second-hand things, " better as new," and to shut op the shop with her own fair hands.—The Commissioners were, as a matter of course, deeply horrified at the degradation of the fair daughter of Israel ; but as it was confessed that one week's wages were due—that the sixpences also had been righteously earned, and not paid—that, moreover, be did " turn out," and pay for his supper, un the never-to-be-forgotten night when Duke's place had been invited to the Haymarket; and that the penny bad been certainly lent :—the Commissioners, probably by way of pu nishing him for leaving a lady to shut up shop, docked the Bs. for warning from his demand, and awarded him 16s. Sd. for which Abraham junior thanked them, and retired. EXTRAOithinAltY fIDE.—The strong north east wind whkh prevailed on Wednesday bad the effect of causing the waters of the river Thames to rise several feet above the u.ual level at high water that afternoon, and several streets in Wapping, Rotiserbitite. and also in the lower parts of Westminster, were completely inundated, and the cellars of a great many houses were filled with water in consequence. At the time of high water. Wapping-street, near Execution-dock, resented the appearance of a canal, and boats were rowing about, the same as upon the river, and the inhabitants of the houses were unable to move out of doors, till the return of the tide. Considerable damage. we have beard, has been caused by the overflowing . of the river in many places on the banks of the Thames. The tide has not risen so high for some time past. About four o'clock yesterday afternoon, a horse in a plasma, in which were Mrs. Clarke, of Battersea, an elderly lady; ber female attendant, and a grooM, took fright neat the Skip pub lic-house, Lambeth Stairs; and plunged into the river ; the groom was thrown into the water. but saved himself ; the female attend ant caugbt bold pf a bargr.bawse, but VIAICPIAPc4ed to let go Itcr Imld. and fell into the ,framer; she w a s believer erred by a young man slanted Read. Clirke remained In tier seat, with her head just above the water, mist was providentially saved by Mr. Smkh, jun. who caught her round the waist ; the females were put to-bed at the Ship, and may attention hewn them. The horse was saved by cutting the traces. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mem lienneff, a notorious pickpocket, was brought before •lderman Winner:so, charged by Mr. John Roberts, an artist, of Hackney, with having stolen a handkerchief from his pocket. Mr. Roberts stated that yesterday meriting he was proceeding through St. Paul's Church-yard, when be observed the prisoner with two other persons walking together ; they surrounded and bustled him, on which he saw the prisoner band his handkerchief to a fashionably-dressed woman, who immediately ran off with it, while the prisoner and his companions prevented his pursuing her ; he. however, seized the prisoner, and would not leave his grasp until he procured an officer. During this period the women (who seemed to know the prisoner) and other persons, used the most violent language, calling out to " let him go," and he (witness) every moment expected a rescue. The officer said the prisoner was a well-known character, and had been convicted before of a similar offence. He was generally accompanied in his professional perambulations by some of the fair sea, to whom be would ding (hand) the property, and they would afterwards raise the cry to" let him go."
