Mr. Howe. then stepped forward, and Mr. CONSETT immediately started to the front of the hustings. (The Hail rung with trip.' of " no Cobbett," "no Hunt," followed by loud shouts of laughter.) The Loon MAYOR seemed puzzled. Mr. Ilroo.—Let any of the requisitionists step forward, and I , give way ; but not to Mr. Cobbett, for he is not one. air. Wmatrzsow claimed a hearing for Mr. Cobbett, as he and ether requisitionists had desired hint to prepare an address. Mr. HUNT.-1 will not give way ; when did I ever give way ? ( laugh.) The LORD MAYOR eventually decided that Mr. Cobbett ought to be heard. Mr. Connto T said he did not come forward to gratify any vanity; he was ready to give wit , if they wished it ; he did not want to be • • ilun?n here, Moor there, and Mungo every where."—(Laughter.) Ile only wished to perform a duty ; not to prevent any other Gen. driven tiom addressing them. Mr. HUNT.—It is not in your power. Mr. Corisevr said, if' his addresses were adopted, he should be rejoiced ; if not, be should bow with resignation and modesty.— (Laughter.) Ile then read the address, congratulating the King on his accession, and on his declaration that there should he re trenchment ; and adding, that all were approaching to ruin.—(Loud cries of No, no.) It also spoke of the increase of crime, the in. tolerable load of taxation, and the necessity of reform. &e. The late accession induced a hope of a change for the better. It was the accession of a man who had had considerable expetience, and hn.e judgment had not been led astray by adulation ; and if rte Livery adopted the address he was about to propose, his Majesty would hear some strong truths which he could never hear from those by whom he was surrounded. The great thing to impress upon the King was, that he could not know the state of his people except from the people themselves. if his Majesty but knew the actual extent of the miseries of his subjects, the disposition he had shown to do good would be greatly increas ed. His Majesty had spoken of his intention to abridge the ex pose* of the sovereignty, hut the expense of the Crown did not form one-hundreth part of the prodigality of which the people had reason to complain. The enormous sum of 620,0001. a year was the plunder of 113 of the King's Privy Council, a set of cormo rants whom it was impossible to satisfy ; and how could it be ex pected that the King would be advised by those cormorants to give up any portion of the taxes?—(laughter.) Ile would not detain the meeting by going into particulars, but he would ask what did a ship want of two Admirals, or a regiment of throe Generals, when we were content, at a time when we were sweep. tog away our enemies, with one Admiral to a whole fleet, and one General to a whole army. America, which was able to do won der, never yet had an Admiral. After some strong denunciations of the uniform system of Government in this country, he ridi culed the idea of supposing that any advantage arose from the most celebrated victories gained by the British army. A body would think that a conquest was a gain, and not a loss, but Wa terloo was what might be called gaining a loss, The French war was undertaken to prevent the people of England from following the example of a t'reo people. The King of France and the whole ration were always treated with contempt and ridicule, until dm piomle took it into their heads to decapitate their sovereign, and then the English government took the knaves who had fled from the popular fury under their protection. The Clergy, who had by the English government been condemned and execrated as Atheists, or worse than Atheists, were at once embraced. Mr. Cobbett pro ceeded to describe the conduct of the English aristocracy as base in the extreme, and dictated wholly by the love of plunder ; and he concluded by moving the address which very much resembled one of his Registers. Mr. 11'ir.krwson seconded the motion, and retailed some of Al derman Waithman's ideas on free trade, in doing which, he took care to speak with contempt of Bly. Iluskisson and Mr. Canning. Mr. HUNT stood forward amidst cheers and laughter. The man ner in which he looked at Mr. Cobbett, who stood by his seat, was peculiarly amusing. The Hall was frequently in &roar of laughter. Mr. littoo stated why he had taken the liberty to interrupt the modest gentleman who stood next to him, because upon looking over the requisition. he did not snd the name of that gentleman, and he thought it rather extraordinary to admit a tomes frowns for a requisitionist. He had, however, at once withdrawn his objection, and the livery had been obliged with a speech. Ile had not the most distant idea of the per son who was to come forward with the address, until he saw Mr. Cobbett on the hustings, who certainly might have refrained with a good grace from alluding to him as Mungo, here and there, and every where. But although the allusion was not at all adapted to him, it was not without its application ; and the worthy gentleman who had mentioned it had shown that he had a very perfect notion of its meaning. That worthy gentleman had been indeed Mungo here, and Mungo there, arid Mungo every where.—(Loud laughter.) Mr. NICHOLSON very loudly denounced Mr. Hunt when he Tittered this opinion. Mr. HUNT, to Mr. Nicholson—lf you are opposed to my views, you had better stand here and speak. You were my bull-dog some years ago, and I ask you whether I ever abandoned a single princi ple in my life; and what will you say it 1 ask you the same ques tion about the person whose bull-dog you now are? (Laughter.) Mr. Hunt then adverted to the spirited conduct of the Livery in 1775, when they addressed the King ainst the American war, and his Majesty refused to receive the ad dress, whereupon they voted !ionic very strong resolutions, expressive of their feeling at the refusal of the King. This address and those resolutions having been read, he stated, that it was hie intention to move that the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs, should present the amend ment he held in his hand to his Majesty if the Livery should think proper to adopt it. Ile spoke in terms of great derision of the Court of Common Council, whom he designated as the scavengers of the City, and not at all recognized as a political body. and he every now and then drew the attention of the Livery to Mr. Cob bett in a comical way. He concluded by moving a very long and strong address as an amendment. The Amendment was carried by a very large majority, and Mr. Cobbett retired, evidently much annoyed at hue defeat. Mr. HUNT then came forward to move a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, for his readiness in calling the meeting, and the impartiality with which he acted in the chair. In doing this, he took the oppor tunity to say, that he had been invited to stand for the representa tion of Preston in &moat urgent manner. He had twice declined, but ea that day be had received a moat pressing request to permit him self to be returned. He, however, determined to persevere in bin selection of the honour, except the Livery recommended the tbing.—(Cries from the Hall of " (30, Hunt, get into TParila. went.") He should certainly go as the Livery desired him, but without their consent he would not think of ito(Loud cheers.) Ile had been solicited to stand for three other plane, lately, inde pendently of the county of Somerset; requisitions had been sent to him from the city of London, the city of Westminster, and another place, but be had declined in all the instances.--(Cries of •••go to Preston, and you certainly will be returned.") Mr. H ttwo.—l shall go off to-night or to-morrow morning. The Loan MAYOR then dissolved the Hall. DREADFUL OUTRAGE IN MANCHESTER. We are extremely concerned to have to state to our readers that a moot daring and a l mo st murderous outrage was on Sunday inotning committed by a party of Irish Catholics on a poor family. on some ground connected with the late Orange riots. As far as we can understand the matter, the first indication of this tumult was about five o'clock in the morning, when a party of *dme eight or ten men disturbed the whole neighbourhood of Cropper.street, by running through the streets, armed with bludgeons, and yelling out '• The lives of the Protestants ;" The lives of No. 61 (we believe.) They at length stopped at the door of a house, where one of them, a man named P. itittesan, caned nut. " Will you follow me ?" and on receiving a reply in the affirmative front leas companions, broke all the windows, and leaped through one of them , followed by the teat. Their unrortunate victims, three in number, were conveyed to the In firmary, where their wounds were at first thought likely to have a fatal termination; but subsequently they were found not to be so dangerous. About eleven o'clock, the lioeoughreeve and Constables, the Churchwardens, Mr. Lavender, moat of the and a large body of special constables, went up to Crop. per-street, and there succeeded in apprehendlug five men, of whom they had information as being of the rioters. This great force was considered absolutely necessary, from the known dui. positton or the Irish in that neighbourhood to resist all law of smthority where practicable. These men were brougnt before the Magistrates yesterday, when some of the neighbours de posed to what they had seen, the victims of this outrage being quite unable to leave the Ipfirmary ; and three of them, Wil. harp Am:strong.

ROLLS' COURT—JOLT 28. at.vsawnrit V. THE DUKE OP WVI.EIWOTOW. Mr. STEWART applied, on the part of Sir T. Hislop, to have the b ak rire of this use which was to have taken place on Friday, tie. ferred till the first Say of Michaelmas Term. The case ariiws. from Maims upon that portion of the Deccen prise fund to which the late Marquis of Hastings had been entitled. The ground of this appli cation was the impossibility of examining, on the part of Sir Tho. man Hislop, MT. Henry Russell. of Reading, whose testimony was of importance to that Gentleman's claim. The Learned Gentleman also mentioned that Sir Charles Wetherell was retained in the case; and he, too, being engaged in the country,would be unable to attend. Mr. PEMBERTON,on the part of Messrs. Alexander, complained of the delays by which this case had been retarded, an d shin of Mr. Stewart's having concealed the reason offered by Mr. Russell for his incapability of attending in London, which was, that he was en. gaged in canvassing for his brother at Reading. This was an excuse to which the Court could not listen. With respect to Sir Charles Wetherell'a absence, he (Air. Pemberton) should regret that any Learned Counsel ahould be inconvenienced by his attendance on the Court or his client by his absence; but that was no reason for the further postponement of this case, the delay of which was most in. convenient to his clients, who were merchants. Mr. WRAY mentioned that the Solicitor.Heneral was also en. gaged in this ease, and would be desirous to attend at its hearing, but would be unable to do so on Friday. His liowova thought that as this case would terminate in a re. ference to the Master to ascertain the claims on the fund in ques. Lion, the delay asked for could not prejudice 111 r. Pemberton's client, and he should therefore concede it. ROBERTS V. WALKER. Mr. TIMMY appeared for the plaintiff. In this case a testatrix had devised all her real and personal estates to nosier* to convert them into one fund of money, out of which she directed all her debts and legacies to be paid. Under such a disposition of pro perty, according to the doctrine of that Court, the debts and be. quests fell upon the two funds derived from the reality and pawn alt pmportionably to their relative values. Here, however, the hetr.at.law had set up his claim to the produce of the real estates, maintaining that it should only be made to contribute to the debts, &c. on the exhaustion of the personalty. Mr. PEMBILaTON and Mr. Lirricu, for the heir at law, main- Wined this proposition, and submitted to his Honour a considerable number of cases to prove that even where a testator had directed a common fund to be made out of the two species of property for the purposes of his will, the rights of the heir-at-law had in tact been sustained by the decisions. His Honour was of opinion that the claim of the hetr-at.law could not be sustained in this case. He thought that it wss alto gather a case of intention, and it was clear that it had been the ob ject of the testatrix to render both her real and personal property equally liable to her debts, funeral expenses, and legacies. He should look into the authorities, although even if be should find them to be such as Mr. Lynch had presented them, he did not think he should abide by them. 111 r. WRAT stated that in this case, as in two others which had lately been before the Court, one of the legatees had been a person convicted and transported for a term of 14 years, for an aggravated larceny, before the interest to him had accrued. On this point, although the Court seemed to have little doubt that a forfeiture of this legatee's estate to the clown had taken place, yet as his Honour has the first of the cams which lately occurred still under his consideration, he reserved his decision till be should dispose of both cases at once. His Howotrx took occasion, in the course of the day, to state to the bar, that he wished to correct a misrepresentation which had been made (by the regular law Reporter) of his opinion upon a else which bad lately been before him. He did not recollect the precise circumstances of the case, but the facts upon which the error had arisen were these :—A Mr. Thring (or some such name) had be. come the purchaser of the larger part of an estate. On that oeca. sion the title deeds of the whole were delivered to him, on his con. tracting to produce them at any time, at the request of the vender or his assigns. The vender subsequently sold the other part of the estate to a person named Slade (the name was immateriaL) He did not covenant to produce the tide deeds, but the contract of Mr. Thring went with the land. This smaller portion of the estate was again sold, but on that occasion the person contracting to pur chase was not satisfied to complete his agreement, on the ground that the deed of 111 r. Thring had been in part eaten away. No attested copy of it remained, and he conceived he could not acquire the benefit of the production of the deeds which had been secured by it. An application was consequently made to Mr. Thring, to execute a new covenant. He, however, had, in the mean time, sold his part of the estate to a person who had not paid all the purchase, and had given a mortgage on the land itself for a remainder. Mr. Thring consented to enter into the new contract for the production of the title-deeds, for so long a period as, in hls character of mortgagee, he should be entitled to hold them. TIN! question which came before the Court was whether, under those sir• cumstances, the purchaser was compellable to take a title ? He (the Master of the Rolls) had expressed his opinion that he was not, as he could derive no benefit from the original contract, and with re spect to the second, it did not run with the land, but would deter. mine as soon as Mr. Thting's rights (as mortgagee) should cease. He had been represented to have stated that Mr. Thring'* contract, alluding to the first contract, did not run with the land. This was the mistake which he (the Master of the Rolls) wished to be cot. tected. His meaning had been that Mr. Thring 's second con. tract could alone avail during the time that he should be mortgagee. After a few remarks to a Learned Council who seemed to belong to the conveyancing branch of the profession, His Howoua said further, that he was of opinion that a contract went to the assignment of land, as all contracts did which ran with the land and were not collateral. ASSIZE INFELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—SoLtssu to', JULY 27. (Before Mr. Baron BOLLARD John Brookinan and Daniel Fisher, two youths, were indicted for having on the King's highway at Bradford, assaulted Joseph Bray, and robbed him of sixteen shillings. Joseph Bray.—On tie night of the 9th of June, I was going home front Bradford to Woolley ; at the time I was passing the New Bear, at Bradford, two persons came behind me and knocked me down, and I fell upon my face. When I was down, two per. SOD% whom I believe to be the two prisoners, came to pick me up. While they were doing this, they put their hands into my coat pocket, and took out my pocket handkerchief. They afterwards put their hands down my breeches to feel if I had any money ; the blood was then running from my mouth and name. After a short time, I got up and went away towards home, and when I had got within 200 yards of home I heard some one run behind me. I turned round, and saw there were three of them. I was felled to the ground. After I was down Bradman caught hold of me by my shoulder, and pulled me on my back. Fisher caught hold of me on the other side ; both of them held me, and picked my pocket. There was 15a. or 16s. I cried out murder, as loud as I could ; while I was on my back I looked them both in the face. The third stood out at distance ; his name is Draper, and has abecooded. By the JUD138...1 can take upon myself positively to say the' two primmer, are the men who robbed me. John Holbrook proved, that on the night of the robbery the prisoners were the men who helped the prosecutor up when h e was knocked down at the New Inn, and that they followed in the direction of the prosecutor. On being called on for their defence, they denied being con. coined in the robbery. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN summed up. and the Jury found both Guilty. Death recorded. HOME CIRCUIT.—CHELMSFORD, JULY 28. (Before Lord TZWIZRDEN.) Alexander Wilson and Richard Marks were capitally indicted for breaking and entering the dwellitsg.house of William Robert Trott, of West Ham, in this county, and stealing five silver spoons, one pair of shoes, twelve knives and forks, a stone bottle, half a so vereign, and some copper monies. The prosecutor stated. that he kept the Green-gate public-house, at Plaistow. On the 20th April last he went to bed at half past eleven o'clwk ; he fastened the window shutters ; the next morning he found die parlour window open. The bar till was taken awa y ; it contained some croppers; he also missed a gallon of rum, a pair of shoes. fives silver spoons, a stone bottle. and other articles. The bottle was marked " Green-Sate Inn." The articles were taken from the bar and bar-parlour. On going down a lane near his house, he found a gap in the hedge. with the footmarks of two persons, turned towards the houses occupied by the prisoners; he afterwards compared the shoes worn by Marks, and found them to correspond. John Holt met the prisoners along with another man, going in the direction of prosecutor ' s house on the night of the ro bbery. Elisabeth Bradshaw, the wife of a labourer, living next door Se the prisoner Marks, said she heard of the robbery of Mr. Trott's. on the Thursday following the night on which it was committed. On the Thursday she saw Mnks coining out of Wilson's house, with something in his apron; he said his mother would be cross when she heard she bottle was broken. He went across the read. and on his fount he had emptied the contents of his apron into the di'eh. Cross.etsmir.ed by Mr. CLAnesoto—Marks had lived in the cottage eight w ombs ; Wilson was his next door neighbour. Samuel Prentingait, an officer belOnging to Lunbeth-stron Poltce (Mee, %mitt, I apprehended Marks at Rant Ham so the 30111 of April, he was drunk when I took him. 1 i.eseclied a ditch pointeg out by the last witness. and found the remains of s ..tone bottle ; the wads" Often-gate Inn, PlaisiOw," at in the front pan of the bottle. The prosecutor said he believed the bottle to be the one he had lost. Smarms. Trott observed marks of nailed shoes abort thener floor on the morning after the robbery. The prisoners were oft at her husband's house. William Tucker said, I am a labourer, living at Plaistow, and have known both the prisoners some time. On the Sikh of April I was at Wilson's house. Mork. and some other mums were at supper. They were drinking ram and half-and-half. Reed, one of the party, sai I have paid for Ma rum, and will not pay for any more. Marks then said, never =hid, we shall not troubk you. He then went out, and moon returned with another bottle full g he was not gone a sufficient time to have fetched it from a public-house. The prisoners made no detente. The Jury found them Ouilty g and Lord TMITERDES told them they need not hope to be again suffered at large in this country. TIRE IN THE COWIT•ROUIIf. At half-past twelve o'clock, the persona assembled in both Courts were thrown into the greatest consternation by the Cries of fire Inn reeding from the lobby, under the Oland Jury-room. All fled towards the doors. The Jurymen left their seats and the Bar. Thins left their stations round the tables of the Court. Lord l'enterden, who presided in the Crown Court, appeared to be the only indifferent spectator. His Lordship kept his mat, notwith standing the smoke pouring in at all the doors, and every ap of destruction threatening the building. several ladies C a n i t il ed ner away and the greatest alarm prevailed ; some time elapsed before it could be ascertained from whence the fire proceeded. At length it was discovered that some straw placed in a room used for a temporary kitchen for the accommodation of the Court, had taken fire; plenty of assistance was at hand—the buckets were put in requisition, and an ample supply of water from the pumps soon extinguished tke flames. Neither of the Learned Judges quitted their meats, and immediately on the termination of danger proceeded to dispatch business. It was, however, ascertained that three of the Jurymen in the Crown Court were miming, and it was not until after messengers had been sent after them that they were found; they had fled on the first alarm. POLICE REPORTS. GUILDHALL.—AIe. Williams, the landlord of the Coopers' Arms public-house, in West.street, Smithfield, attended upon sum. mons yesterday, for suffering gaming in his house, contrary to the tenor of his license. Merchant, the superintendent of the night pollee, stated that this house had for many yeses been resorted to by the low Irish. " The low Irish must go somewhere," observed Sir JOHN PERRINO. Merchant said he meant to state they were permitted to carouse till unreasonably late hours, and then sallied forth to set the neigh. Nunhood in an uproar. lie had made his complaint on the repre. genial ien of two of the men under him, whom he would all. Renshaw, the night patrol, then stated that he went into this house at one o'clock on Sunday morning, sad found a number of persons sitting in As back parlour. In a room on the tiro floor, which the defendant had just quitted, he found four persons playing at cards. There was at least b 0 persons in the house. He called again at the house at half.past two, and found the defendant serving some beer in a can. He produced the pack of cavils (which nobody would own,) and from their appearance there could be no doubt they had been used a long time. The witness did not prove, however, that the parties were playing for money. Another City policeman corroborated the above statement. Defendant said he had not been uncivil to the officers on any oc. maim. Merchant said this was true, for he had received his repeated warnings with a sullen silence. Defendant continued--He clawed his house at night as well as he could ; but when an Irishman had a pot of beer in him, he was not easily managed. Mr. Figgins, the Common Councilman, lived next door to hint, but nFither he nor any other neighbour had ever complained of his house. It was untrue that he was serving any one at half.past two ; but he was up, because he had to attend to cellar-work. Sir Jour( Panama said the absence of complaint from the neighbours could not be held to outweigh the positive proof which had just been given, and if the refractoriness of his Irish customers were taken to justify the keeping the house open, no publican in London would be without them. Mr. Alderman ANSLEY proposed to fine the defendant 20s. bat Sir Jonw said that would barely take away the gain obtained by breaking the law. He named 40s. Sir PETER LAURIE concurred with Sir JOHN, and said the Maigistrates were acting, not according to their will, but the di. recuons of a law with which defendant was acquainted. . _ Defendant paid the fine. HATTow-Omtozw.—lwroamATioxis.—Baker, the cate.meat. man, has procured a fresh witness., and now confers on this Office his professional busines4. The witness is somewhat remarkable, from the very (snotty colour of his hair ; his person lank and lean enough, and a visage expressive of meaning's. He gave his name and address Thomas Mama, labourer, New Inn-yard, Shorediteh ; he was attired in very rusty black. The first information was against Mr. Bawler, landlord of the Red Lion, Coppice-row, for " selling to others than travellers, at a quarter to twelve o'clock, on the Sabbath forenoon." The witness then mood fonh.—Your Worship, on Sunday, the 17th of July, your Worship, I went into the house of defendant, your Worship, and, your ‘Vorship, l saw, your Worship_ 111 r. Luxes..—Conie, Sir, give your evidence in a propel manner, and not repeat " your Worship" every third word. Witness resumed..—l went into the house at a quarter to twelve' o'clock, and— Baker (hastily).—lle has mistaken the house, it is Bowley, Bowley. Mr. LAMO.—Silence, Sir, you shall not interrupt him ; is he not upon his oath ? Baker.-11e has mistaken—it is Bowley, Bowley. You know there are two Red Lions—it is Bewley. Mr. Lame reproved the cats-meat-man for this second interfe. rence, and the witness stuck so all that he had already stated re garding this Red Lion, and detailed the number which he saw drinking at the bar, the number he saw carrying liquor off in cans, and some in bottles, and he was of the latter class himself, being I supplied with a quartern of gin, which he carried off in a bottle. Defendant denied the allegation, and produced a person named Walker who swore that he was a lodger in the house, and was from I eleven o'clock till a few minutes to one o'clock,in a situation that he must have seen any one who catered the house ; and there was not a single person admitted, nor was any one served at the bar. A person named Leon, an optician, swore that Mr. Bowley re. I fused serving him in the forenoon, adding, that he would nut serve the best customer he had during the hours of divine service. Mr. ILat ten --I shall dismiss it. Mr. Beale, of the Coopers' Arms, Saffron.hill, was the next charged with offending In a similar manner on the same day, at a quarter put three. After hearing witnesses, this case was din. missed. Tlute were two convictions. one 40s. for permitting bagatelle— and one 20s. for selling on the Sabbath in forbidden hours. In both cases the parties had been previously convicted. Lawerru.wrazzY.--Yesterday, Mr. Broadbelt, through whose praiseworthy conduct four persons who are suspected of being con. cetned in the late extensive robbery at Manchester. were taken into custody, and are likely to be brought to justice, called at this Office, and handed to Mr. Miller, the principal officer, a letter, which makes the fourth of tlie same description that have bees sent to hint through the same channel, the twopenny post, of which the following is a copy. It was written on a sheet of royal mourning paper : " THE ZINO'S DE4TH._ _ " Stn—Upon reading It yesterday, I find that Wyatt says it is some person who wrote the letter to pre judice the case against the prisoners. He knows nothing about the writer's intentions of writing those other letters. But as I said before, yoti shall never appear at the Old Bailey. Sooner than my cousin should be lagged, I will put poison in your beer or drinit : so beware of it. Built I fail, you may depend on never appearing at the Old Batley r for you shall be stiff and d— before then. My opinion is that you would not mind what you did foe money: you are thinking of getting the reward. It will do you no good, as I said before. As I said before, I cats write DO more on the subject at present, for the less I say the better. I will not pre judice the case. I am, as l said before and aftet waggle. ' 4 A COMPAW " P.S. I will see you d— and aeragged before I 'drink even a draught of water to your b— health. 1 will frighten you out of your wit.. 1 r a may go and 'thew this to Wyatt, if you like. The object of the party who writes this abominable trash is completely detested. If they are friends to the prisoner, they could not take a more effectual way of injuring them t on the other hand, if their intentions are to intimidate Mr. Broadhelt front eons. big forward atid doing that justice which he owes to himself sod the public, they never were more mistaken. Mr. Broadbelt has trotted the matter as it deserves, with the most perfect indifference and contempt. May Widionie, a initldle-aged and rather well.lonking remelt. who has been in custody toe some days past on i charge of bigamy, Iwas bought up for final examination. . James Dozy stated that, in December Ifees, he was married to the prisoner, but had latterly ascertained that she had another hua . Wad living. . The priioner said that the complainant was perfectly well aware, ! when he married her that she had a hroband hying. In fact, he not only knew of it, but had striking proofs of It, as bar busbend on two or three secessions finding bibs at his bonus belted him . doss sates. (I.aughise.) DV his (Dozy's) entreaties, however. sloe was subsequently prevailed on to leave her husband, and Stier living with him for two years in a state of adultery, he married her, tieing conscious that her husband, Thomas Williams, was then living. He now wished for some reason or other to get rid of her. Mr. Hannericx asked the complainant if he was prepared with evidence to prove the first marriage lie replied No. On which Mr. Hardwick remarked, that, under the circumstances, and the complainant being well aware that at the time of his union with the primmer she was a married woman, he should discharge her. She was discharged accordingly. UXION.HAL t..—Some days ago, a report appeared, under the head of this Office, detailing the particulars of a very brutal assault alledged to have been committed by Sergeant M'entw, and police constable No. 166, letter M. division, on a female named Rior. den, who, in consequence of the injuries she received on that oe. notion, was compelled to be placed in one of the Borough hospitals. Since then she has tecovered sufficiently to be en. *bled to attend before the Magistrates. Yesterday, the whole of the parties were in attendance, and the woman Riordan de. scribed the manner in which she had been treated by the accuse.! on the night of the 16th instant.

SERIOUS RIOT AT BRISTOL. Front the Bristol Mercury. Mr. Baillie made his public entry into Bristol yesterday, and the rot:maim was a very splendid one. It proceeded at every slow pace along Temple -street, Bath-street, over Bristol Bridge, along the Back, round Queen-square, along the Quay, Clare -street, Corn. street, and the Exchange, to the heal-quarters, at the Rummer, in High -street, in front of which the candidate immediately made his appearance, for the purpose of addressing the multitude. In the mean dine Mr. Aclabd, suirotinded by a party of his friends, had erected a temporary platform, for the avowed purpose of putting some questions to Mr. Baillie. The first outrage was committed so the procession passed by the manufactory of John Hare, Esq. Temple-gate, the windows of which establishment were beaten in. When Mr. Dm:JAE presented himself for the purpose of making his address, no inconsiderable number of persons expressed their disapprobation by hissing, and shouting " Protheroe for ever rand what was the result? Why, that several gent/einem on horse back, accompanied by others, with bludgeons in their hands, immediately commenced a most brutal attack upon them. and having succeeded in partially clearing the area, a considerable num ber of the men who assisted to swell the procession were recalled to occupy the space. These efforts to restrain the popular feeling, however, did not succeed ; and each of the gentlemen who attempted to spea k had the mortification of being received with anything but respectful attention. Mr. Baillie said, he had been called upon to represent them by a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the freemen of Bristol. He had been induced to accept the invitation by a few most excellent and revered friends ; and be should abide the contest to the last moment. Mr. limiter then came forward and recommended James Evan Baillie, Esq. as a tit and proper person to represent the city of Bris tol in Parliament. . . Mr. CLAXTON then made some observations about Mr. Beillie's humanity to his slaves in Brasil ; and when near the conclusion of his speech be declared, "upon his soul," that he could not proceed a step further without a drop of heavy trel; and while this was being procured he called for his flag. Tne flag was immediately brought forward, with the following words painted on it, in different colours :—" Ships--Colonies--Trade—.Bristol— Sense--Bread." The Rummer Tavern was then singled out by the mob as the most appropriate place on which to wreak their vengeance, and this they attacked with all the rage imaginable, destroying the shutter., ' frames, glass, and that part of it in High-street which forms the Company's ceach.office, and where the balcony had been erected. For some time the whole heart of the town was in a state of more violent disorder and agitation than we ever remember it to have been, and until a late hour at night, from the number of intoxicated persons that were to be seen in all directions, every thing scented ripe for further mischief. Even at midnight the streets were very far from being as quiet as they usually are. lATOLVEXT DIIRTORS COURT, July2B. Josephine Bartolosti, the actress, and sister of Madame Vestris, came up on her petition to be heard. Upon the insolvent's name being called by the Chief Clerk, and the usual question asked, .• whether any creditor opposed her discharge ?" no answer was given.

The Chief Commissioner.—No doubt of that ; but when I see only 121. 7s. the amount of her excepted articles, there must be some other property behind the curtain, not given up to the court. Mr. Patterson, I see, is a creditor for 1041. fur shoes only, within the last three years ; and to %tr. Weight, of Regent-street, in 1628 and 18211, a debt or 471. for embroidery articles.
