K __ A7'H A RINE DOCK COMPA NY'S STEAM PACKET W 114819. ill , ' great risk and inconvenience which have hitherto attended the mode of landing from, and embarking on board of steam.vessels in the port of London, and the extortion and abuse to which passengers have too frequently been subjected from the mis cor.duct of watennen and others, have long been matter of most Fe. ?lOUs ::rd well-founded complaint. Thousands of persons who would have been delighted to partake of the cheap and healthy mode ot recreation which steam-navigation affords, have been pre.' ve-iuti from availing themselves of it on account of the fear which is penendly felt at being exposed to the personal risk and incon venience alluded to, whilst no means existed along the banks of he River Thames by which accommodation could be afforded tt, :team-vessels so as to enable them to proceed alongside and delw at all periods of the tide ; besides which, all they/hies in the v.t :rift , of the Tower and L ondon-bridge are crowded with mcr . ha. , t ships. i7tider these circumstances the St. Katharine Dock t'vnipr.ny have at a great expense appropriated a spacious wharf, j .c•Ft Sting about 170 feet river frontage, adjoining the dock entrance, to the porposts of steam vessels, and the wharf, with the buildings,. Ice. will be completed in the eourse of the present month. The ar.siety. however, displayed by the public to avail themselves durieg the holydays ot the means which will be thus afforded for rife landing and embarkation, and at the pressing entreaties of the steam packet companies, the Harlequin, belonging to the General Steam Navigation Company, being one of their largest vessels, was permitted to go alongside the wharf yes terday morning, from whence she started at about half an hour be fore low water, with about 400 persons, upon an excursion to the Note and back. The tide being down, the g em s embarked from the intermediate platform constr u c te d in trrfr e t i r i nt of the wharf, which platform is 160 feet in length and 14 feet wide, communi eating with the wharf by two handsome and commodious stairs, pro tected by iron railings, and to which it is intended to fix four drop stages (one of which was in use yesterday,) which, by means of ma chinery, communicate with the deck of the vessel, according to the state of the tide. In the centre of the wharf a strong drop-bridge of 40 feet in length and 9 feet wide, has been erected, the drop being suspended by chains and iron plates, worked by machinery, by which, and with the greatest facility, the bridge may be lowered or raised to suit the deck of the vessel according to the state of the tide. This bridge is intended to be used principally for the landing or shipping of car riages, horses, cattle, &c. which may be done without the use of cranes ; and whenever the intermediate platform from the state of the tide cannot be resorted to, the bridge, with the addition of accommodation-ladders, will be employed for the convenient landing or embarking of passengers. Two brick buildings are erecting at each end of the wharf, which will afford separate places of deposit for baggage, &c. landed from steam-vessels ar riving foreign, as distinguished from baggage, &c. landed from river or coasting boats ; and convenient waiting-rooms, with offices, &c. will be prepared for the use of passengers frequenting the wharf, the platforms of which will be well lighted with gas for the safety of passengers arriving after dark. It is understood that, from the ar rangements which have been entered into between the St. Katharine Dock Company and the General Steam and Margate Packet Com panics, the public will be exempt from charge upon embarking or larding, including one hundred weight of baggage. The steam. packet companies have also engaged that no addition is to be made to their fares on that account. DEPTFORD DOCK-YARD. The establishment of this ancient and celebrated arsenal is nearly broken up. Most of the artisans and petty officers have been discharged or superannuated, with the exception of about one hundred and fifty, who have been drafted into the other royal yards. 3lr. Byrne, the boatswain of the dock-yard, is the only officer who still holds his situation, which he vacates as soon as the Worcester, a frigate of thirty guns, now undergoing the operation of coppering, shall be launched. This, it is expected, will take , place in a few weeks. The extensive range of buildings forming the left side of the yard are now occupied by a strong piny dm*. tines, several hundred in number. Deptford will still be used as a rendezvous for his Majesty's yacht, and a receivingand atom house for the navy ; and we believe it is intended to permitmerchent vas. ads to be repaired here. The breaking up of the yard. and the consequent dispersion of so numerous a body of men, has thrown this once flourishing town into a state of severe distress, the inhabitants. In a great measure depending upon the dock-yard. This dock was one of the earliest established in England, and is the scene of many remarkable events. It was founded by Haney VIII. at the commencement of his reign; and in 16168 k Themes Spert, commander of the great ship Henry Once Dieu, here founded the patriotic and benevolent Trinity Society. Queen Elizabeth, in 1581, visited Drake at Deptford after. his return from his first voyage round the world, and conferred ea him' the honour of knighthood; and in the year 1896 Peter the Great of Russia worked in the dock-yard as a shipwright. It consists of two wet docks, one two acres in extent, the other about one and a bait, with all the requisite storehouses, lofts, and for a great naval arsenal. Vessels of a minor clam, as mail sloops of war. and bomb-ships, have generally been lucre, though occasionally many stately ships have issued from its slips—as the Windsor Castle and Neptune, second rates of 90 guns; Abe Bombay, 74 ; and the Queen Charlotte, 110. The presnt state of Deptford is most deplorable. The poor rates have increased to a frightful extent in consequence of the numbers rendered destitute by the alterations in the dock-yard. A peat number of houses are untenanted, and there appears little a their being again occupied. Indeed this lately busy and populous town presents a melancholy scene of misery and distress. ALARMING FIRE, ATTENDED WITH LOSS 'OF LIFE. On Tuesday evening, between the hours of eight and , nine o'clock, considerable alarm took place in Thornhaugh= Bedford-square,in consequence of a fire being discovered in the floor of the house, No. 11, in the above street, occupied by an elderly widow lady named Jackson. An immediate alarm being given the do mestics, with some of the neighbours, proceeded up stairs to the front room second fioor,which they found enveloped in smoke, in the midst of which was Miss Caroline Jackson, daughter to the lady of the house, with her clothes completed consumed from het back. By pest exertions she was brought from her dreadful situation, and in an insensible and agonised state conveyed down stairs to the back drawing-room. Mr. Hardy, a surgeon, residing in (lower street, was immediately sent for, and arrived promptly. The flames bad pined great ascendancy in the room when the discovery was made. By the intrepidity and exertions of Sergeant Cole, of the police, and some of his men, they were extinguished, having ex tended no further than the room, the furniture and walls of which were wholly destroyed. The unfortunate Miss Jackson lingered in great agony until the following morning (Wednesday), when death put an end to her sufferings. She was about forty years of age, and a maiden lady. Thursday evening, at eight o'clock, an Inquest was held in the drawing-room of Mrs. Jackson's house, No. before T. Sainting), Esq. Coroner, and a v4 1" = 1 117, on view of the body of the unfortunate lady, whoa the following evidence was taken : Eliza Eyre, servant to Mrs. Jackson, depestdooThe amend had been indisposed for some weeks, and kept bar chamber, which was the front mom on the second floor. On Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock, her bell rang violently, and an my running up to her room found it was full of smoke, and Miss Jackson in flames. I was dreadfully alarmed, and tam down is the street, and called out for assistance • and a gentleman residing opposite and tune others came in, ad, proceeding up to my young mistress's room extinguished her clothes. I had been up in the room a short time before she rang the bell, when she wee sitting before the fire, and a lighted candle was on the table. Before her death she became sensible, and informed me that some soot came down the chimney, which causing a blaze caught her clothes. Mr. J. Simmons, of No. 28, Thornhaugh-street, deposed to being alarmed by the servant, and running up stairs and extinguishing her clothes, and assisting is throwing water over the furniture in the room, which was in flames. The police were most efficient upon the occasion. Mr. W. Hardy, surgeon, of No. 70, flower street, said--I was tent for, and found the unfortunate lady on a couch. She was in blankets and totally insensible. On examination I found she was most severely and extensively burnt. nearly all over her body. I had little hopes of her recovery. I adopted the usual-means on such occasions, but she sank gradually, and died about seven o'clodzhn Wednesday morning of the injuries she had received. The jury, after regretting the sad citastropits, returned a verdict of " Accidental death." By a statute pass in the lBth year of the late king, it is declared that " we will not levy any taxes or dudes on the Colo nies, except for their own use." Much dissatisfaction has, we understand, been produced in the medical department of the Grenadier Guards, by the abolition of privileges which that regiment has enjoyeed for centuries. semi resignations have been, or will be the eonsequence.-8,404,4 Gasetts.

The lovers of sport reluctantly separated wi h an anxious wish to revisit, on a future occasion, the now celebrated Newcastle Course. On Wednesday there was an excellent race be. tween five horses, over a three-mile course. Mr. Fitzgerald's Mis take took the lead for some time, closely followed by Mr. Scully's Dolly, rode by Mr. W. Quin, and Mr. Stoney's Fiddler, rode by Mr. Smyth, who had a tall after running about two-thirds of the course ; almost immediately afterwards blistake fell, and Fiddler kept the lead to the winning post; Dully came in second. The race was well contested by Mr. Royse's Chesnut mare, rode by Mr. Dickson, but she fell at the last ditch • Mr. Leahy's Cigar, rode by Mr- O'Dwer was the fifth horse, a nd kept close to the other four nearly during the whole race, until he lost ground by a fall.

Islington, we are informed that there are likely to be some stormy proceedings. By the Act regulating the slain of that pariah, the Trustees are required to print the accounts at the perish after they have been audited. This year, the audi. ton found it neocsoary to disallow several items, and, to make we. tal ohoonatima on the expenditure of the parish, and the trustees bon, to oomegasnot, taken upon themselves to print the unsu. dited, liaised of the audited, accounts. This departure from the lotterand the spirit of the law, will occasion great opposition to the toodoction of the old °Seen of the parish.

AGEWCY-NZIT ♦. 0011INII. This was a case brought before the Commissioners, for the reco very of a sum of money from Messrs. Cohens, merchants, of the I City of London, by Mr. Belt, the agent of a Hamburgh merchant, named Hulbert, under the following circumstances : About two years ago, Messrs. Cohens were at Hamburgh, and became acquainted with Mr. Hulbert, who proposed to them a spe culation in silk hats of foreign manufacture, as likely to succeed in England amongst persons going abroad. There being a heavy duty' upon the article in this country, it was determined to dispose of them, if possible, to the planters in the West Indies, where no duty is imposed. A case of hats was sent over experimentally, and they remained a considerable time in the docks for the purpose of sale, but no purchasers appeared, the article being manufactured at home upon terms which rendered the application to the Hamburgh market quite unnecessary. In the mean time, Mr. Hulbert drew upon Messrs. Cohens for the share of (we believe) the original cost of the bats, and they accepted and paid the bill. After which they shipped the hats for the Cape of Good Hope, in the expectation of finding a market there. Mr. Belt applied to Messrs. Cohens subsequently, as agent to Mr. Hulbert, for a sum of money, amounting to about 41. Itts. which he conaidered to be due to his principal upon the issue of the speculation. He produced the accounts of the trans. action, and complained of undue treatment upon making his appli. cation. Mr. Ront.tit, jun. for the defendants, objected to the demand as one not to he recognised, as far as regarded an agent. In the Acts of James 11. and George IL and 111. for creating the Court of Requests in the City of London, the party suing in that Court was described by the word "person," the word "agent" never being used in any shape. Consequently the summons having been taken out in the name of Hulbert, who was not present in person, the cause was out of Court. It might appear un c =s in a Court of Conscience to take such an objection, but thean un gracious and preposterous one, be did not hesitate to beingav himself of the Act of Parliament. One of the Commissioners having referred to the Act, stated that the objection appeared to him to be sustained. It ap , how ever, that on a former occasion Messrs. Cobens tted the facts which Mr. Hobler's arguments went to invalidate. Messrs. Cohens said they were now better prepared to go into the merits of the cue. A Comussrowza--According to the custom of trade, an agent has no power to export goods entrusted to him by consignment. These goods have been exported, and the demand appears to be correct. Mr. Hosurn, jun. said, he admitted the justness of the Com. missioner's doctrine, supposing this to be the cue of a consignment to an agent ; but in the present instance, it was a joint adventure between Messrs. Cohens and Mr. Hulbe rt, for better or for worse, consequently his clients having paid their share of the price of the speculation, ought not to be deprived of the opportunity of dis. posing of the hats in a foreign market, if they found no purchasers in England. Here the bill of exchange drawn by Mr. Hulbert upon Messrs. Cohens was produced, as was an account which had been transmit. ted from Hamburgh, stating that the speculation was fur the joint account. Mr. Hoiczx jun. said, that his clients had thus exercised the right of partners by shipping the goods to a better market. He had a certi fi cate from the Customhouse to produce of the case exported, and the date would show that Mr. Beit's demand was subsequent. UMessrs. Cohens should receive advice from the Cape that further profit had been made, Mr. Hulbert would, of course, be entitled to his moiety. The COURT was of opinion that the plea of partnership took the case out of their jurisdiction, and, of course dismissed the summons, as far as regard ed the ership responsibility. Mr. Belt then e a demand against Messrs. Cohens for the value of certain table cloths, the property of Mr. Hulbert.— Messrs. Cohens stated that the table cloths were damaged and of no value whatever. Mr. Hostrn, jun. on this occasion repeated his first objection as to the inutility of the appearance of an agent in a Court of Con science, and urged that the Commissioners could not recognise the claim made not in person. Suppose he should answer to the Court that Mr. Hulbert had, in consequence of the dealings which took place between him and Messrs. Cohens, said, " You make what ever use you please of those table cloths." Mr. Hulbert not being before the Court himself, no decision could be given in his favour. In a matter of conscience dte ,party demanding must himself un dergo examination, or how could the commissioners judge of the merits of a private transaction ? The whole case was then pronounced by the Commissioners to be untenable. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCI — V: — .CROWN SIDE. Bore Mr. Justice BAYLEY. . William Brows was indicted under the 7th and Bth of George IV. C. W. a. 63, for obtaining 48!. under false pretences from Hannah Dean. Mr. &ISOM ANDREWS and Mr. DOWLING conducted the pro. amnion ; Mr. CLARKSON the defence. The cue was this : A custom prevailed in the manufactory of Messrs. Johnson and Co. calico printers, at Wandsworth, for one of the workmen to receive the whole amount of wages. due to all, and to distribute it among than. It was also the custom for this money to be advanced by a publican, whose house the journeymen usually frequented. Iha person so appointed to receive the money was technically called " constable." Hs was appointed weekly en the Saturday previous to the week he was to serve. A person named Thwaites was appointed to do this duty on Saturday, the 14th of February, 1829. He not wishing to do the work, employed the prisoner, another workman in the manufactory, to act for him, for a promised remunenttion of half a crown. He came to do his duty on the Mouday, but never made his appearance after wards. Bsida the mere receiving the money for the men, he had certain other litde duties to perform. On the Saturday morning the prisoner, without any authority from Thwaites. went to the Turk's Head public.house, kept by Mrs. Dean, the prosecutrix, and obtained the advance of 401. as he said to psy the men. With this he absconded, however, and was never heard of until his appre hension at Waltham Abbey, in Essex. Mr. CLAnneos addressed the Jury for the defendant. The Jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. NORTHERN CIRCUIT, Aram 7. RIOTS AT HUDDERSFIELD. Joseph Sykes, Joseph Eashrood, James Taylor, Philip Moor. house, Was. Waterhouse, Georys Cargill, and fifteen other per sona, were placed at the bar, charged with having, on the 3d of August last, together with fitly other persona, riotously assembled and obstructed the Reverend Lewis Jones in the interment of the corpse of Joseph Taylor, and with having assaulted the Rev. Thomas Sturges Mills, a Magistrate, and obstructed him in the execution of his duty. Mr. BLOOM:TONE (with whom was Mr. Deena) stated the caw. By this indictment the defendants were charged with having riotously assembled on the 3d of August last. It eas, perhaps, necessary that be should state what it was which ltd to the riot. There could be no doubt but a riot did take place on the day named in the indietment,,so the only question was, whether any of the psi. miners were the persons concerned in it ? The Rev. 31r. Armisted was Incumbent of the chapel of Sieltham, and had been so many year., until the year 1828, when he died. Mr. Jones, the vicar, had then the right of presentation to the living, but did not exercise it. The Archbishop of Yolk, however, preferred Mr. Jones, and on the 3d of 31ay he went to take posses. eon when he met with a formidable and successful resistance ikon the inhabitants who were desirous that Mr. Kean, the late curate, should have been presented to the living. The consequence was that no service of any kind was performed at the chapel for some time ; application was made to the magistrates, and a number of special constables were sworn in to Veep the peace. The party in favour of Mr. Kean also applied to Mr Stock, a magistrate, and at their request peace officers were appointed. This was immediately price to the 3d of August, on which the day the riot took place. On that day Mr. Stock, of Catherine Slash; the Rev. Th o m as St es of P3obness ; and the Rev. Mr. Barstow, three magistrates, and the Rev. Lewis Jones, met at the Fleece Inn, at Melthatn. Mr. Stocks revoked the warrants which he had issued, as he found he bad acted under false representa ions, and Mr. Jones went up to. the chapel for the purpose of interring a corpse. When they arrived at the chapel they found a crowd of about 1,000 persons ; the chapel gates were doted, and they were desk(' admittance, upon which they retired to the inn, and the magistrates and constables afterwards went back to the chapel with them. Mr. Mills was on horseback, mad the others on foot.

The plaintiff v Mr. Oates, a celebrated trainer of race horses ; the defendant, Ali. Noel, a gentleman of large property in the county, and the menu. 01 several race horses. Mr. ALEXANDER stated the plaintiff's case. The action r a . brought to recover the sum of 8361. for the expenses incurred in th, training of seven race horses, which in the course ,of lika and were placed under his care by the defendant. Mr. Scott, of Halton ; Mr. J. Smith, of Mitldleham ; Mr. J o , . Maroon, and a number of other witnesses, were called to prove In plaintiff's case. Mr. lisowLEs addressed the Jury foe the defendant. The Learned Counsel said, that his client had not the slightest wish to deprive Mr. Oates of any sum the Jury might consider justly due to him ; but it was not bemuse Mr. Noel was a wealthy man that he was to be made the prey of horse-jockeys and trainers. The fact was, Mr. Noel's horses had been neglected in the hands of the plaintiff, and on that account the defendant had resisted the plain. tiff's charges, because when the treatment the horses received was taken into consideration, he considered the charge exorbitant. It was for the Jury to say whether 21. a week was not too much for the training of a hone, and whether 161. for physic was an expense which could have been incurred with advantage, or even safety to the hones. The Jury returned a verdict for 526 L giving credit for 3001. whicii the defendant had paid on account, and deducting 101. for the chem.: for physic. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Two young men, nearly iii feet in height, of fashionable appear. anee, and whose connections are highly respectable, named Edward Filagerald and John Macdonald, were brought to this office be. fore Mr. hltarsuuta. yesterday, charged with committing an as sault upon the person of Mr. James Sadler Thomas, the Su n. tendent of Police of the Covent garden Division, attended with rather unusual circumstances. Mr. Thomas stated, that on Thursday night he had been in par. suit of a person who had stolen a valuable watch, and it was neces sary that he should go incognito. He mentioned this fact to account • for his not wearing his uniform on theoccasion. Soon after the hour of twelve o'clock he was in Villiers-,street, Strand, and saw the de. fendant Fitzgerald with a female of the lowest description, and a • drunken man, who had the appearance of a mechanic, against whom the female was venting her rage in no measured terms. Mr. Thomas interfered, and desired the girl to go about ha bit. linen, and not disturb the peace of the neighbourhood. The me. chanic applied the epithet " blackguard" to Mr. Fitzgerald, and the latter seized and shook him in a violent manner. Mr. Thomas re. quested him to desist, and he abused Mr. Thomas in the grossest terms, ordered him to go about his business, and asked " why such a fellow as lie should impertinently interfere with a gentleman r He informed Mr. Fitzgerald that his name was Thomas, and that he was the superintendent of police, and was on duty. Mr. Fin. gerald exclaimed, " you arc a cursed imposter, and I will Thomas you." He then seized Mr. Thomas with extreme violence, and called to the other defendant, Macdonald, who came up, and, in spite of all remonstrance, he also seized Mr. Thomas by the collar, and both defendants dragged him along ViLlien-street, the Strand, Bedford. street, Henrietta-street, and till they arrived very near to Covent. Garden watch.house. Mr. Thomas then called to the Inspectors. Rogers and Priest. who were standing near the watch-house, to witness the outrageous conduct of the defendants, who at that time were dragging Mr. Thomas along the street, and had tom his clothes. Mr. Mt wain t.t.—lt was very extraordinary conduct indeed. ➢lr. Thomas--It was very brutal conduct. One of them, as they were dragging him along, repeatedly thrust his fist in the most cowardly manner in his lace, and he would assert that none but a coward would have treated any man who was deprived of all power of resistance or defence in such a manner. Mr. Fitzgerald asked the Magistrate if it was right that he should be designated a" coward" in a public office. Mr. Thomas—l say it was cowardly. I had repeatedly told you who and what I was, and you jeered me, insulted me, and treated me with great violence. [Mr. Thomas here produced his coat, which was torn from the collar down the lappet) The Inspectors Rogers, Priest, and Bishop, confirmed the state ment of Mr. Thomas, as to the conduct of the defendants. The prisoners being called upon for their defence, Mr. Fitz gerald, with a very aristocratical air, complained that gentlemen of their rank should have been thrust into a dark hole with a parcel of low-bred rascals; and being requested to apply his observations to the charge, said, that Mr. Thomas did not in f orm them who he was, for If he had it was not likely they should have seized him by the collar. Mr. Thomas said that be repeatedly told than who ha was. Mr. Maedonaki sahl.shat ha believed the parson who called him self Mr. Thomas to be an Imposter; he therefore joined his friend in taking Mr Thomas to the watch-house, where they could best ascertain the fact. Mr. MixsiruLL--There you discovered you wow wising; but where is the justification for your violence? Mr. Fitsgesald said that they were treated like felons and placed among drunken persons in the black hole. Rogers, the inspector, replied that there was not a single person In the lock-up room when the defendants were put there. Mr. Fitzgerald—There were four persons;—yes—five, six, wee. Mr. MixsisuLL--It's of no consequence what number there was. Mr. Fitzgerald—Yes it is of consequence ; because it proves that that ruffian has committed perjury. Mr. M nun u tr..—You complained of the epithet "Coward' being applied to you ; and now you charge the officer with committing perjury : I beg, Sir, you will conduct yourself in an orderly and proper manner. Mr. Thomas assured the magistrate that he informed the defer. dents that bail could be taken for their appearance, if they would send for their friends; and when other charges were brought into the watchhouse, he gave directions that they should be removed to the best room in the watchhouse. All. Illtxettum. said, that the defendants bad acted most toque. tifiably, and It was his duty to order them to find bail to answer ark charge Mr. Thomas might prefer against than, in the sum of 501. and two sureties of 201. each. = - Accounts from Bergen say that the spring herring' fishery has been attended with many difficulties, and it seems tbs . the result has not given general satisfaction, though the repor states that 6,000 barrels of herrings had been pickled.
