The deliveries of sugar, last month, from the West-India Docks alone, were nearly 4000 hogsheads less than in October 1828, and this is equal to 60,0001. of duty in the first month of the quarter. From this fact the natural inference may be drawn, that the de liveries from the other Docks and in other Ports have diminished in a corresponding degree. The discovery made by a cotemporary of the great improvement which is visible amongst the manufacturers, affords great satisfac tion to all who know nothing about the subject ; and the autho rity on which our contemporary rests his information, a London Monthly Review, must surely be considered sufficient to convince all but those who are incapable of conviction. Amidst all these symptoms of growing prosperity, however, the frequenters of the Corn Exchange were treated this morning with a fact, which we should think quite as good authority as any London Monthly Re view. We allude to the failure, last Saturday, at Norwich, and at Yarmouth, of two of the oldest and most eminent malting es tablishments in the empire. If we are not much deceived also, not many days can pass before something will occur in Norfolk, which can only have arisen from the wants of landed proprietors.— Naming Paper. We are very far from denying or concealing the oppressive difficulties under which trade has been and still is to a great degree labouring. The depreciation of all commodities within the last ten months has been very great, and must have ly tried the merchants and dealers, who had considerable stocks of goods.— Those who have continued to manufacture or to sell have done it to little or no profit, and often to heavy loss. Foreign markets have been glutted, and the home market has been dull and insecure. Money has been extremely scarce, and bad debts fearfully abun dant. No acknowledged improvement has yet taken place in prices or wages.—Leeds Mercury. DARNHAT. THURSDAY NIONT.—This once flourishing manufac v.:ring market-town is now as quiet as a country village. I have just returned from a meeting of the unemployed weavers, held on Barebemes ; and, although it is now about twenty weeks since they have had any employment, they appear as determined as ever to stand out, should they, their wives and families, perish with hun ger. At the meeting this afternoon the 2d of June list was exhi. hired, on which three cheers were given, and they all declared that they should forfeit their existence sooner than work for any prices less than those. One of the weavers, named James New ton, addressed the meeting at considerable length. A resolution was passed, that no journeyman was to work with any " black sheep," and that all strangers coming to the town should be urged to pursue the same course. They declared that, if they were all to be taken to York Castle, they were prepared to go there cheer. fully. After being exhorted to keep the peace, the meeting ad journed to the following day.— York Herald. If proof were wanting of general distress amongst the trading anti manufacturing classes it is to be found in the present ruinous erices of several of the principal articles of consumption with them. At the late fair at Lancaster the best lots of cheese brought only 425. per cwt, a lower price than has been known for the last forty years. And in our own market pork is selling at 4s. per stone, bacon at ss. 6d. a stone, and hams at 6d. a pound. Yet, in spite of all this, the ministerial prints are assuring their readers that there are decisive symptoms of returning prosperity. We are sorry to state that within the last few days there has been a sad crash among the little manufacturers of Galashiels. No less than thirteen, we hear, have " gone down"—probable extent of engage ments from £20,000 to 425,000. They operated upon a system of credit, and each, in a great degree, depended upon the other. The banker. indeed, by reusing discounts, had them completely in his power.—Carlisle Patriot. Gtesoow.—The improvement in business is more decided. The sales of cotton yarn have nearly cleared the market of Numbers below 100. Large purchases have been made both by the manu facturers and exporters. This vivacity has occurred very oppor tunely before the dead of winter, when exportation to the Conti nent is impracticable. Such of the power loom factories as had in the spring ceased- working altogether, have resumed business • and the cotton works in general are working twelve hours a day.— Hand loom weavers are beginning to get a choice of work. On the doors of several manufacturing houses, there is the cheering notice— " weavers wanted."—Gkugore Chronicle. A reduction in wages, of a general nature, has just taken place in the linen-manufactories of Aberdeen, varying from five to ten per cent. A stagnation in the demand, and the progressive fall in the price of the manufactured article for some months back, are assigned as the causes of this unavoidable measure. We regret its necessity, and trust it may prove but temporary. At the same time, when we look back to the seasons of depteuon with which the manufacturing districts in England and the west of Scotland have been periodically visited since the termination of the late war, we cannot but congratulate our fellow-citizens that the sources of employ and rate of wages in Aberdeen have stood up as they have. It is matter of thankfulness, also, that meal, and the other neces saries of life, are likely to remain moderate, owing to which the pressure that might otherwise be left from the present reduction in wages will be so far mitigated.—Aberdeen Journal. The Michaelmas cattle-markets throughout the kingdom are ge nerally the most important in the year, but this session they have turned out badly. The failure of Mr. Rennie, of Phantas.ie, a short time since, and more recently that of the great Yorkshire dealer, Mr. Armstrong, have diffused a general gloom over the prospects of the farmer, besides involving many in irretrievable ruin. Some failures have also taken place in Aberdeenshire, which have tended to increase these difficulties, and to make both buyers and sellers doubly cautious. Another great cause, to which we al luded in our last, is the unproductivenesa of the turnip crop, an article of such importance in the feeding of cattle and wedders, and in dunging the land. This year the turnips have failed over all Scotland and the north of England. Above ground they make some show, but when taken up are invariably found wanting. This inferiority is, undoubtedly, to be attributed to the heavy and long continued rains, which struck at the root of the turnip, checked its growth, and rendered the article of very inferior quality. The only good crop of turnips that we have heard of in the north is that on the farm of Humberston, near Dingwall, which consists of fine dry land, and is situated on a gentle declivity, with a southern exposure. Here, however, there are net above twelve acres a modicum too scanty to have any general effect . — lnverness Courier. No one ought to feel surprised that the day for the com mencement of the next session of parliament has been again post poned. It is true that the Irish newspapers teem with the most unequivocal proofs of the precious fruits of the " healing measure." It is true that the enemies of religion have united themselves into an 4 • unholy alliance," and are using their most strenuous exer tions for the purpose of effecting the overthrow of the church establishment. It is true that gaunt ruin stares the agriculturist and the landholder in the face. It is true that the unemployed manufacturers continue to combine, arid equally so that the crav ings of hunger and the chill of nakedness, are producing their full measure of misery, despair. and insubordination. It is true, in short, that all our national interests are drooping at home, and that our influence and power are rapidly declining abroad. In a word, • it is inset too true, that the liberals and the economists are revel ling in the full jubilee achieved by the lamentable success of their pernicious measures. No one, we are sure, can venture to deny the truth of all this, or justly brand us with the reproach of being alarmists in thus stating it (for indeed we are not such)—yet if there be one spark of that honest. straightforward, vittions. indig nation which was wont, of old, to characterise the British pe"ple, still remaining unextingui.bed 'in the country—we repeat nu one ought to consider it as a matter of surprise that his Majesty's Mi nisters should reel alotione..tet postpone to the latest possible mo ment the re-assembling the " colkctive wisdom."—felix Farley's.

Much observation has been latterly excited by a cir cumstance of a nature too domestic and common-place to make a conspicuous figuie in the pages of a Daily Journal, and yet far too important and of too general application to be altogether passed over in silence. The subject will be best understood and most properly introduced by a little anecdote, for the accuracy of which we can vouch to our readers. . A Baronet, whose usual residence is in the west end of the town, but who posseses a considerble estate in Leicestershire, at his late audit merle a reduction of twenty per cent. at the same time ob serving to his tenants, that the complaints of the pressure of the times upon the occupying agricultural interest were so general, that it was impossible to deny its existence ; but, that for his part, judg ing from the expenditure of his own establishment, he could not perceive that any reduction in the price of articles of prime ne cessity was made by the retail dealers commensurate with the sacrifices expected from, and in many instances made by, the landlords. The tenants (principally graziers) observed, in reply, that they did Hot know how the retail dealers acted in Lon don, but, that they would undertake to supply his family in Leices ter with prime meat at four-pence a pound. The Baronet returned to town, and immediately overhauled his butcher's last account (his butcher lived In the same district of the metropolis as himself) and found he was charged seven-pence halfpenny. As he was de termined to see things with his own eyes, he drove to White chapel, and there discovered that he could be supplied with meat of the same quality for fivepence. He called upon his butcher, stated the facts to him, and informed him, that if he did not reduce his charge to sixpence a pound, which he considered a fair remu nerating price, he would make an arrangement with his Leicester shire tenants to be supplied by them directly from the country, and that until that arrangement was completed, he should deal with the tradesmen of Whitechapel ; the butcher finding his co— tomer was not to be cajoled, consented to the proposal, and the Ba ronet is now supplied with the same quality of provision at a di rect reduction of twenty per cent. But the business did not ter minate here, for he has made no secret of the affair, and the consequence is, that all his neighbours have determined to adopt a similar line of conduct, and the result will of course be the same. Our little narrative applies, midair+ esotondis, to another class of dealers in commodities of an universal and primary necessity— the Bakers ; and we are assured the same mode of proceeding will be adopted with them which has already proved so beneficial. We shall for the present abstain from any commentary ou this subject, which comes home to •' the business and the bosom" of every father of a family. We are in possession of the name of the Gentleman who makes the prominent figure in our little history, and we repeat that our readers may implicitly rely upon the accu racy of every particular stated.—Morning Paper. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 3. IN TIM MATTES Of EDWARD DAVIS, A SUPPOSED LUNATIC. The LORD CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat, delivered judgment in this matter to the following effect In this case of Edward Davis, which was heard before me the other day at my house, I expressed, at that time, my wish, and from the moment I heard the case up to the present moment I have been desirous, if possible, to avoid the necessity of issuing a Com mission, on account of the great inconvenience that will result from it in the particular business in which Mr. Edward Davis is em ployed, and also the great expense that must attend the inquiry, consequent on the issuing of suck a commission. I was desirous that the business, if possible, should be carried on under the super intendence of Mrs. Byewater, mother of Mr. Edward Davis, and that some arrangement should be made for the comfort of Mr. Davis, in order that the suggestions of the medical men, at least some of the medical men, should be carried into effect. It is with great regret I find those suggestions have not been acceded to by the parties. It is necessary, there fore. for me, upon the affidavits before me, to decide whether or not a commission ought to issue. I have read the affidavits with attention, and upon the facts they disclose, and upon the medical evidence in those affidavits, I think I have no alternative but to direct a commission to issue ? I don't at all pretend to say what will be the result of the viva we evidence upon the facts on which my judgment is formed; but 1 think I should incur a very heavy responsibility, and expose Mr. Edwd. Davis to very great danger (on the evidence before use,) if I were not to grant a commission. I beg leave at the same time to suggest, though I don't mean for a moment to say that what Mr. F. Davis feels is well founded, yet I think, from the circumstances that have occurred, it will tend very much to keep up his irritation and excitement if he should be continued in the place where lie now is, which should be avoided, and therefore I think it will be proper to prepare another place for his accommodation. The SOLICI'ML-GRNKIAL submitted, that as the inquiry could nut be entered upon without his client having the means of de fending himself, and as there was a cash balance of £BOO in his banker's hands, those who represented him should be at liberty to resort to that fund. His LORDSHIr considered this reasonable, but hoped it would not be drawn up.,n to an extent beyond what should be found to beabeolutely necessary. The commission was then ordered to issue. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Nov. 3. Loeti, BRANDON •. LORD MELBOURNE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, to recover from the defendant compensation in damages for criminal conversation with the wife of the said plaintiff. Alr. C. Pamirs opened the pleadings. Mr. GUMMY stated the case. It would, be said, be a waste of time to descant upon the injury which the plaintiff must have sus tained from such a crime as that with which the present defendant stood accused. The plaintiff, Lord Brandon, had married Lady Brandon in 1815, and in a year after she presented him with a daughter, and in three years afterwards a second daughter. His duties occasionally called him away from Dublin, and soon after Lord Melbourne went to Ireland in his official capacity • ill health compeUed Lord Brandon to come to England, leaving L ady Bran don in Dublin. Lord Melbourne bad been introduced to Lady Brandon while Lord Brandon was in Dublin ; and after the ar- • rival In England of Lord Brandon, he heard of certain circum stances which induced him to imagine that an improper intimacy had taken place between Lord Melbourne and Lady Brandon. The Learned Counsel then stated the circumstances of the case in support of which he subsequently called the following evi dence : • blr. blagrath produced the extract from the parish register of Ratbfarnham of the marriage of Lord Brandon, then the Rev. Mr. Crosby, to Elizabeth Latouche—l have since known them—l have visited at the house, and Lord Brandon was friendly and af fectionate towards Lady Brandon, but Lady Brandon was not quite so affectionate towards him. Cross-examined—l do not know how old Lord Brandon is—he may be about 36 years older than me—l have heard that he is 58 years of age—l do not know how old Lady Brandon is—Lord Brandon was not very much in Dublin—l have known him to stay a week there—l visited there only when he was in Dublin—l did not visit her Ladyship—l have known him to be absent from Lady Brandon for two or three months at a time. The Rev. Edward Moore—l am a nephew of Lord Brandon's, and was present at his marriage—l have seen them constantly since then, down to 1828—they appeared to live in great harmony, and he kept up an establishment for her in Fitswilliam square, far greater than his limited income could well afford. The Arroascay Gassaam. postponed cross-examining this witness for the present. George Latouche—l am brother to Lady Brandon—l have seen a great deal of Lord and Lady Brandon subsequent to their marriage--they lived together on good terms, as far as I could judge—l recollect Lady Brandon's leaving Dublin in June or July 1828—Lord Brandon was not in Dublin at the time. Cross-examined—l am the brother of Lady Brandon. but did not leave Dublin with her—my brother did so—she left Dublin because she understood that Lord Brandon intended taking her daughter from her. She came to her sister's house, the wife of Capt. Hatton—•l followed her, and my brother returned to Ire land—this was by previous arrangement—Mrs. Hatton is living— Mrs. Hatton then lived at 1 unbridge Wells, and Lady Brandon remained with her for two or three months—she was afraid her daughter would be taken from her, and she took a feigned name— the reason she left Mrs. Hatton's was because Captain Hatton was apprehensive she would be discovered there by Lord Brandon. Edward M'Cue—l was in the servive of Lord Brandon in 1827, in Dublin. In the summer of din year I knew Mr. Lamb (now Lord Melbourne)—l first saw him dining with Lord Brandon, who bad at that time a paralytic attack, which soon after caused him to come to England. He returned to Dublin, after having been to Harrnwgate, Buxton, and Bath. This was in May 1828 He after wards went to France, from whence he returned in March last. I went with bins to France, and I was afterwards employed to go with a police officer to take the daughter of Lady Brandon away from her—Lady Brandon was ties in lodgings near St. Joint s wood—The child was taken from her, this was on the 9th April. Cross-examined -a-When Lord Brandon returned to Dublin, be fore be went to France, she remained there about See weeks— when I went into his service I remained only a few days in Dublin, benne I went to his cottage at Killarney, where be then was—this was in March, and Lady Brandon was in Dablitt—he remained at Killanivy until June, when he went back to Dublin, and stayed there until August—Mr., Lamb was then in the habit of visiting Lola and Lady Brandon -they then received a good deal of com pany, hut not more than might be expected in a gentleman's house—l was present at taking the young lady away—l had no pistol—the peace officer bad a pistol—the glebe house of Lord Brandon was on Castle Island, about two or three hours ride from the cottage at Killarney. John Andrew Wilkinson—l am the husband of Mrs. Cardinal, the dress-maker in King-street, Soho. I recollect Mrs- St. John being a customer of Mrs. Cardinal last November—she was re commended by Mrs. Mars, who keeps a lodging-house in Northum berland-street—l saw the maid servant at Mrs. Mars's,where Mrs. St. John lived—she was a foreigner, and her name was Rosetta— inquiry was afterwards made about her, but after she left Mrs. Mars, we lost sight of her—in the latter end of December, we again found that she was living in Parliament street, No. 21—when she left there we entirely lost sight of her, and afterwards, in April, found her in St. John's Wood-road—l did not then know her real Name, but I have beard since that she is Lady Brandon-1 once saw her in Northumberland-street, but I have seen the French maid twenty or thirty times. Lord TOITERDIN—CaII somebody who will prove something. Mrs. Struthers—l reside in Parliament-street, where I let lodg ings—l remember Mrs. St. John coming to lodge there In Nov. 1828—her maid came with her and her daughter—she resided there ten weeks and a few days—very few visited there—l know none of the persons who visited her, nor do I know where she went afterwards—l have since been told she is Lady Brandon— there were two or three gentlemen who visited her, but her own maid attended her—l do not know Lord Melbourne. Cross-examined—l saw no ladles call on her—l do not know Mr. Maurice Fitzgerald, the Knight of Kerry. Mrs. Mars—l live in Northumberland-street, and let lodgings— Mrs. St. John, and a young lady with her maid, came to lodge with me in the autumn of 1828—she was visited there by two gen• tiemen, one was a Mr. Dickinson, but I do not know who the other was-1 do not know who he is, but he was a middle sized man—l remember a present of pine apples coming, and it came front Lord Maryborough, or Madeborough, or something of that kind—the servant who brought them was in livery, but Ido not know what kind the livery was—he came at eight o'clock, and stopped until eleven—this happened twice only, and when he came he said the lady expects me. Henry Hall—l am a hackney coachman—l recollect taking up two gentlemen at Grosvenor-square, in April last—one of the Gentlemen had a cloak on—one got out in Albemarle-street, and the other drove up to St. John's Wood, and alighted there— he told me to wait, and be returned about one o'clock, when drove him to the house of Lord Melbourne, where he told me to knock—l did so, and be went in, telling the servant to pay me, which was done accordingly. Joseph Healy—l was the driver of Mr. Akehurst's coach—l re member taking a gentleman up in St. James's-street, and taking hint to Lisson-grove—he desired me to wait, and he returned about half past one o'clock, when I took him to Melbourne House—he was a short gentleman. Lord TIN/ZROZN said, that there was no proof that the gentle man was taken even to the lady's house. The Arrounav-Gasiseas—lf there be any suspicion, it affixes only to the short gentleman. (A laugh.) Another hackney coachman deposed, that he was taken from the stand in Charing Cross by a gentleman, whom he took to Lisson Grove—he waited there for two hours, and afterwards took the gentleman to Melbourne House—l did not see what house he went into at Lisson Grove. Lord TIIITERDIN then directed the plaintiff to be nonsuited. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, Nov. 3. OLD COURT. Before Mr. Justice Pau and Mr. Baron GARILOW. Gorge Carman ' aged 45 years. stood capitally Indicted for bay ing uttered on the 29th September last, a forged bill of exchange for 4147, with intent to defraud Mr. J. D. Child, wine-merchant, residing in Bishopsgate-street Without. Mr. Child stated that he was a wine and spirit merchant in Bishopsgate-street Without. The prisoner was formerly a publican, living in Old-street-road. On Tuesday the 29th of Sept. last the prisoner came to prosecutor and asked him to discount a bill of exchange,which was drawn on Mr. James Ellis, of Barkbatn, Kent, for the sun' of 471. Prosecutor asked the prisoner if it was Mr. Ellis, the great hop planter? Prisoner said, Yes, and that be had told Mr. Ellis he intended to take a public-house, and Mr. Ellis, in kindness to him, had given permission to draw on him (Mr. E.) for any sum under a hundred pounds. Prosecutor then took the bill in his hand and noticed that " Excepted" instead of" Accepted" was written across the bill. Prisoner said that was no matter, as the bill was as good as the Bank of England. Pro secutor then gave the prisoner two pounds on account, and sent his brother to Mr. George Heath, in the Borough, where the bill was made payable, to ascertain if it was a genuine acceptance. Westaway Sholey, the landlord of the George Inn, Borough, proved that the acceptance on the instrument produced was not in the hand-writing of Mr. Ellis. Mr. Ellis gave similar testimony, adding the fact of his never having permitted any person to accept bills in his name. The forged instrument was put in and read. Mr. Baur, for the prisoner, put In a long written defence, in which he alleged that the bill was given to him by one Smith, an itinerant hawker of Init. Nine wit were called to speak to the prisoner's character ; none of them had known him for the last eighteen months. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty—Death, but recom mended the prisoner to mercy. STEALING IN ♦ DWILLING-MOUSK.--HEIG, 1110111116 CT, aged 19, stood capitally indicted (or stealing two sllvei watches, a ring, chain, and other goods, the property of Mr. Drake, a watchmaker, living in Crispin -street, Spitalfields. The prisoner was a single man, lodged in the prosecutor's house, and had access to a drawer in which the stolen goods were deposited. On the 30th of September the prisoner asked for a sheet of paper, stating that be was about to write to his father. He shortly after left the house and did not return. The watches were then missed, and on enquiry it was discovered that the prisoner bad pledged them at a pawnbroker's shop in the neighbourhood. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty—Death. Ira. am, aged 16, was indicted for stealing a gold watch, value se2o, and other articles, from the dwelling-house of Mr. A. C. Mann, a fishmonger, at Paddington. Guilty—Death. NEW COURT. Before Mr. Common Sergeant Duxes and a Middlesex Jury. Burdett Rogers, a youth aged 16 years, was indicted for stealing, on the 24th of August last, certain coins of the value of XI lls. the monies of George Morgan. The prosecutor is a waiter at Clark's Club-house, St. James's street, where the prisoner was also employed in some menial capa city. On the day mentioned in the indictment, Morgan missed the moles above stated from the pocket of a pair of omen which were banging over a chair in his bed-room, and having some sus picions against the prisoner, sent for an officer and gave him into custody. On the prisoner being searched, the sum of 1L I Is. was found on his person. The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, stated that his father, who was a dentist and copper, and highly connected, had for some reasons unknown to him turned him and his mother out of doors five years since. Mr. Coxneri-Sasozerrr having summed up the evidence, the Jury found the prisoner guilty. Henry Lefton, aged 25 years, was found guilty of stealing a silver watch, value L 3 and upwards. on the 24th of October, the property of Henry Sampson Hadwicke. Wes. Thompson, a private soldier of the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards, was indicted for stealing, on the 29th of October, a silver watch and its appendages, value ,C 6, the property of J. Ingram, a camp bedstead-maker, in Lambeth. The prosecutor stated, that on the evening in question be was proceeding along Cockspur-street, half-seas over," when the prisoner and another private soldier came up to him, and volun teered to see him safe home. To this he agreed ; and on their way the prisoner contrived to steal his watch. The case being clearly proved by several witnesses, the Jury, without troubling the Common Sergeant to sum up, found the prisoner Guilty. The prisoner received an excellent character for honesty and general good conduct from his pay-sergeant, Robert Duff. ACCIDENT AT MESSRS. COMBE AND DELAFIEED'S DRZWILIr.—On Monday Morning a mos lamentable occurrence took place at the brewery of klessts. Condit, Delafield, and Co. in King -street, Long-acre, which it is feared will prove fatal in its consequences. For the last few days, one of the largest vats on the premises has been undergoing some internal repairs, and , several persons, friends of the workmen employed in the estab lishment, have called to descend to the bottom. On Monday morning, about seven o'clock, Mr. James Dorsett, a res pectable butcher in Union -street, Southwark, went to the brewery fur the purpose above stated, and descepdrd a ladder with the stew of getting down, when, the moment he reached the top, his foot dipped, and be fell bet:dforernost to the bottotni a height of S 3 fret. Many of the men ran to Ida assistance, but great difacolty arose as to what plan could be adopted to exit icate him; at length one of the labourers d•scended with a rope round hii ifilddle, and, having grasped the Unfortunate man in his arms, they were both hauled up by a windlass ; and Mr. Dorsett; who was quite ittsetrd ble, with the blood gu-hing Irani his satoula, was . Oseed is a coach, and c o nv e yed to St. Thomas's Dospital,yibire be was put to bed, and every attention paid to him; but such is the extensive injury he has sustained internally, that not the dijhtest Wipes kre ate tabled of his recovery. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Yesterday, an old woman, dressed after a most grotesque fashion, and wearing a lilac cockade with long streamers upon an old black bonnet, which surmounted a dirty crimson handkerchief tied in the manner of a hood over her bead. was brought before Mr. 'Aluisaut.t. by one of the new police constables, charged with having knocked at the door of a surgeon in Bedford-street. Covent-garden, and creating a riot. Mr. Muumut t. asked the old defendant why she wore a cockade ? Defendant—Why, your Worship, then to tell you the truth, I wear it for joy that Mr. Roach is out of office Mr. Minimum.: But why should that be a source of joy to you ? Defendant : Because, your Worship, we will have no more washing of hands in rose-water, and gorgeous banqueting., and Champaign guttlings : (roars of laughter.) Yes, you may laugh. but I know very well that these t►inggs were going on ; the poor were neglected. hiusn't ft then be cause of pleasure to all of us, that Mr. Roach, who was an encourager of these things, should be out of °Mee? _ _ _ Mr. Missimu.: You need say no more about Mr. Roach, but go about your business, and offend no more. The defendant made her acknowledgments, and withdrew. HATTON GARDEN. Yesterday, John Mallow, 12 years of age, was charged with havin g let off fire-works in White Lion-street, Nicosialle. The boy pro fessed great contrition for the offence, and his mother, wh o i s a poor woman, Wab much distressed, when she entertained that the pena lt y is 401 . s e rjeant Suyolg. in commiseration of the woman's poverty, and the son's contrition, after admonishing the boy ear nestly, liberated the prisoner without punishment. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Vas. ilk.rander Malcolm, a gentleman fashionably attired, was yesterday brought before the presiding Magistrate, F. A. Rog. Esq. charged on suspicion of having received some pictures, knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. John Hunt, a picture-dealer, stated that be had some pic tures sent to a coach-office in Basingball-lane, from whence they had been stolen. The prisoner was one of the parties to whose posses sion they bad been traced. Mr. Hoe inquired if the prisoner wished to say any thing, st the same time informing him that be was charged with a transportable offence, and had better not say any thing to criminate himself. The accused said, he could refute the whole of the prosecutor's evidence, and could bring a host of respectable witnesses to prove his innocence. . . Mr. Roc, with his usual liindueu, advised the prisoner to say nothing in his defence, but reserve it for Thursday, as be should remand him until that day. The gentleman inquired if be would be allowed to put in bail ? Mr. Roe regretted to inform him, that in the present stage of the busine4 he could not accept bail. He was accordingly remanded until Thursday. MARY-LA-BONNE. Stephen Donee and Benjoatis Bream. two ill-looking fellows. were yesterday placed at the bar before E. Gruenrus, Feq. the Sitting Magistrate, charged with feloniously entering the dwelling. house of Mr. Harris, the Proprietor of the White Lion, at Pad dington. and stealing one sovereign and a half, the property of Mary Burnes, a servant in that house. The prisoners were shewn to their room in the house about nine o'clock on Monday night, and the servant's room on the same floor was then locked, and also a door at the bottom of the stairs ; and on going up stairs three quarters of an hour afterwards, it was dis covered that the servant's door had been forced and the girl's hos broken open. The prisoners were fully committed for trial. LAMBETH-STREET. Thos. Soppy, a well-dressed but ruffianly looking fellow, an old acquaintance of the police, was brought before the Magistrates. charged with rioting, assaulting a number of the local constables of Stepney, and gambling. Bennett, a green-grocer, stated that on the morning he observed a young man sitting on the Mile-end road side, playing the thimble-rig, and the prisoner and a number of his associates surrounding him ; suspecting from their maturates that they were all thieves, be called outzo the crowd of persons who had assembled, to take care of their pockets. Scarcely had he done so, when the player exclaimed" Muzzle the b—!" and he was in stantly attacked by ten or twelve of his companions, who knocked him down, and would, he had no doubt, have done him some se rious injury, were it not that Mr. Draper, and other Gentlemen, came to his assistance. Mr. %raiz : Your making the remark was incautious ; it was. in fact, placing your hand in a hornet's nest. Did you see the pri soner take any part in the game? Witness : I did, sir; he bustled in amongst the crowd, and laid down a half-crown on the event of the game ; but this was merely a decoy, and something to induce the strangers to bet. Mr. Draper corroborated this witness's statement, adding, that they had secured three or four others of the gang, but that being overpowered, they were rescued from their custody. The prisoner offered a lame and incredible defence, and was committed, under the Vagrant Act, for three months to the House of Correction. On being removed to the strong-room, he expressed much chagrin to Shields the gaoler, at being lumbered (confined) at so awkward a juncture, and so near the approach of the Lord Mayor's-Jay, when, as usual, he expected reaping a plentiful hat- Veit. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday David Hall, charged with embezzling two looms work of silk, the property of Messrs. Buttress, of Steward•street, was brought up for final examination, with Mary !fall and WI/lines Hall, his brother and sister, as particeps eriesinis. The loss of property was stated to be about thirty pounds, besides three pounds ten shillings in cash advanced as wages The landlady of the house in which David and Mary had lodged proved that on the 15th of August the latter complained to her dist their employers refused to advance ten shillings more, and she said there would, be no harm in cutting out the work and retsruing it ; it was accord• Ingly taken away, and, as the landlady supposed, returned to the employers, and she afterwards heard David say, as he went up stairs, " Its all right, Mary, my dear." The prisoner David, when called on for his defence, said he admitted that he took out both the leorns work, and that he had disposed of the silk, but be was in great distress at the time. He had worked seven years for Mr. Buttress, he said, and never before bad a blemish on his cha racter. Mr. Buttress admitted that the prisoner had worked for them that time, and was a good workman ; and bad therefore ad vanced 10e. more to him than they would have done to any other workman. The Magistrates sent him to Brixton House of Cor rection for three months, as be lived in Surrey. lii. wife and brother were discharged.

The unfortunate man was going up the ride, where the horses are exhibited fur sale, when he received a tremendous kick from a horse which fractured his thigh.
