Cosaxr and Mr. llitt.sitt, Ow tinting Magistrates. charged- with exictiti4 nrue for bi. rare from Kensington to Hsdv Park.cC.trrE '1:A!I is allowed by the Hackney-cnach Act 1 P riian-ient. The qiiestion on which the dis pute arose , s of ennirderable importance to the public. Wife Gelitl,.man who hired the coach desired the dri. vcr to t tie: him an eighteen-penny fire towards Hyde Park-co:few ; but itt..teAd of that, he drove through the turtipike.glte, and insisted upon having two slid hags, accunip.r.ied with , buiive language; the coaclim k n in,tifying himself by .saying he held the check-string in his hand and drove nn till the Gen- tleman pelted it. He was asked whether he would have drie-n as far as Shoreditch if the string hail not been pulled ? he admitted he should not have gone a) far However, the principle upon which he had acted was exactly the same; and in the last , Act of Parliati eta for regulating hackney.coaches, a clause is introduced to oblige the drivers to act agreeably. to d;rectiens similar to those given in thie case, and to protect eersons from inattention and insolence who ive such directiOns. The Magistrates convicted th e defendant yesterday with costs- Their decision upon the point is of considerable importance, as it este- Viahes the principle. that a person may direct a coachman to drive a shilling fare, or a mile, which is the lame thing, towards any place; an eighteen wont fart-, or a mile and it half ; and so ias propor tion for any sum or distance within the limits of the Nickney coach Act, and the driver is bound to go accordingly ; And if he goes beyond, he. is not entitled toany more; it he takes any more, he is liable to be prosecuted for extortion; and if he don't drive the distance directed, he dequally liable. blaaLsoauueur svalurr.—An affidavit was made in order to enable the next tif - kid of a pauper woman to recover a considerable sum of money under the fol. lowing circumstances s—A short time since a poor old woman, unknown, was brought oat of the street into St. Giles's watch-house, scarcely able to articu late more than that her name was Smith. She re ceived the meet humane attention. but-she died, and was buried without her Christian name being known. Very shortly afterwards a near relation of the de. Ceased died in Devonshire, possessed of very consi derable property. said to be some thousands, and to' which the next of kin was entitled. An advertiae rneot 44 that effect led to inquiries, and it tut ned out that the poor t ld woman was the next of kilt ; the affi 'avit, therefore, went to prove that such a peon died in the workhouse. The money devolves to an infirm sister with a large family. The former inhe. ritor of the property aas a farmer; he had hoarded the greater part of it in guineas. Pads M.Nal4.cf Church.street, was fined 40s. un der the New Paving Act, for keeping pigs in his Mime. Willi an De.u,, inspector of nuisances in ihe parish of St. Geurge, charged a man, named Marius, with an attempt to ITECIIC some barrows which he had seised in the discharge of his duty as inspector, under the,New Paving Act. The prosecutor stated, that babad taken so resny barrows as to load a cart with them. On his way to the watch-house. he was met oy a crowd of persons to the number of about lot). ne of them, whom he believed to be the prisoner, took out the lyt.cli.rin, by which means the contests of the cart were upset. He could not positively swear that Martin was the person by whom this was done. Two witnesses appeared, who proved that the priso ner, so far from.being guilty of what was laid to his charge. endeavoured to prevent it, and only put his band to the cart for the purpose of keeping it steady-. The Magistrate informed the prisoner. and wished it, he said, to be generally understood, that any attempt to, obstruct an officer in the' ischArge of his dirty, on. d i p the New Act, rendered 'the person so offending gable to a penalty of '45 fat the first act, 410 for the sewed, and £2O for every bubsequent one. The prisoner was then discharged. dee fraseitte, the owner of one of she barrovis, was fined 40s.

He said the property was his mar, • who was remosing floes Ratcliffe-highway to Temple-bar, and that he was assisting him. This Account not satisfying the officer, he took him to the wateh-house,when on searching the bundle, it was fonnd to contain 16 - pieces of brass rods and six cur tains.

A number of tinmen attenied. sad stated that every men in that uade might get employ if be chose, and earn Gs. or Gs. a day. It appeared. however, that the prisoner by begging could make as much as that in a morning. He WAS committed to the visions as a rogue and vagrant. MANSIOS Boost. Same/ Jacob: was brought be fore Alderman Atisue, who sat for the Lord_ Mayor yesterday, upon the following charge : —John No land, a sailor boy, stated, that he had iast alighted on Sunday evening, about eight o'clock, from the Portsmouth coach, near the Spread Eagle t in Grace church•street, when he saw, the prisoner. who is a person of decent appearance. Noland had an ac qiiaintance in his company, and was walking along Gracechurch-strert, w:ien the prisoner put his hand roind his waist, but without any violence. Noland asked him what that was for ? upon which the priso ner said. I would rather give you something to drink than hurt you—don't tear me." The sailor was .alarmed at this civil attack upon him, and baring soddenly seized with a suspicion that,the design was *virtu his pocket-ho:4, put his hand to his pocket to try whether he was right. The book was gone, and the prisoner was gone also, but nut out of sight. He had darted amongst the wheels of the co aches, and was making his way to l'hilpoolane. when the sailor set up the cry ef " Stop thief," which was at• tended to by the neighbours. Jacobs was .topped. hut he had no peicket.hook. The sailor swore to his identity, and his lodging was chalked out in. the Contort. In the mean time a baker, who heard the •cry of " Stop thief," was sauntering t awardatiis own house, without any idea a,t t +king any part in the business, his loot touched something unusual, and upon stooping he found a pocket-book, which upon beingeihibited the sailor swore to be his property. The pocket-book contained £2O in Bask notes, and some silver. These circumstances wile repeated by two witnesses.—The prisoner prayed hard to be re manded till Tuesday, that Le might consult his father upon the subject. The Magistrate objected, because the evidence was lull, and .the witnesses would be inconvenienced by attending another say.--The pri soner then wished very much to be put upon his oath as to his innocence, but finding that his assn names, whether upon oath or aches wise, wield not do, he begged the Magistrate to understand that he had not taken the pocket-book. • His object, he said, in addressing the complainant was to induce him to buy clothes; and as to character, he could call ulna the City Officers to give him that.

And his Counsel stated the nature of his intended defence to be, first, a total denial; and should that fail, that the prisoner, in consequence of religious infatuation, was subject to occasional.fits of insanity. Tile examination in the witnesses occupied a considerable time—when coded the Jury were addressed by the public prosecutor, who admitted the plea of ii , sivisty. After 'he evi dence had been suniene4 up by Lord Itzsrow. the .Jury retired for anew mc,utes, and returned a verdict -.440t Proven. The prisoner was theretot e assoilsied ; he appeared to be wholly indifferent tay the proceed ings, and continued reeding or luoki-g it; a bible dot ing the whole trial. Tuesday night the house of Mr. Fitsgerald. ball, near Dublin, was entered at a late hour by an armed banditti, consisting of 15 or 16 ruffians, with their (aces blackened, who plunders(' the house of every particle of *portable property, consisting of plate to the amount of pwards of £2OO, and other articles. Thursday, a Captain of a collier. coming on a car from Donleary to theCustomhouse,Doblin,having ne. mien to stop at the Rock, in taking from his pocket money to pay the driver, he took out also, inadver -Mays Busk-notes amounting to 113 or iil4, winch falling behind him, were picked up by a handy lad in his rear. On his missing them inquiry took place, when the property was traced to a young man, see r rant to a geat(eman in the town. The Captain called ' open Mr. powtaa the Magistrate, who accompanied )him to the gdstletnan'i home, and took the led into 'custody. His master proposed that be should be suf fered to go alone to the dwelling of his three sisters, to whom, be said, he bad green the money, to bring it whit him back; and upon -Mr. F.'s undertaking that he would do so, it was •agreed to. In c.asse. gestalt* of his not returning, .Mr. DOwLltle recom mended searching the house of the Graces io die Rack. This mansion was Sot of the most eleg..nt description. In fact, it presented a most disgusting ape pearance s so much so as to affect the oltactitry nerves (not of the most delicate nature) of the honest ter. and his seafaring friends. However, tbesd trivial impedi. omens but added additional energy to the scrutiny of the indefatigable navigator. 'Twere tedious to relate the parietal:a:tot the search. Suffice it to say, every crevice of the cock•loft, all• the tea apparatus, every jog, mug, and porringer, suffered the most strict sue v . y, and J ac k a nd his i fiends were 'retiring in despair, when iha eye of the Magistrate was caught 'by an no. explored bird-cage. " Ha, ha," quoth the Magisa Irate," hat have we !A-re, my tulips i. a cage, lots 'of seed, where is the bird ?' " Dead, your Honour died last night."

A poor labouring man of the name of Lowe, had for a number of years inhabited a cot. tage sear the . bove-named place ; by his indu•try he was enabled ci, support his wife and two children, with his aged mother. in a comfortable manner. On Monday last, two of Lowea fellow workmen called to get a pick-axe they had left there on Saturday night; they knocked at the door. and not receiving aiy answer they forced it open. and found an old mastiff in the passage with his• head brat to pieces.— On entering the room Lowe was op the Saor with his brains knocked out, anJ a Large wound on leis side: in bed lay Mrs. Lowe, with her throat cut from ear to ear, aid an infant at her bosom butchered in the same brutal manner I To complete this li!;rrible scene; thi. aged mother. who slept in another bed in the same:arettrnent, with a child two years of age, shared the same fate ; her head was be.tt to pieces so dread. oily that not a feature could be discerned. We ate happy to state that the murderers are discovered. They ptiive to be three meta belonging to a gang of gypsies, who baying learned that Lowe had just re ceived r€3it, I.ft him by a relation, formed the hor rible determination of possessing themselves of it t-y murdering the family. Oa one at the men the watch of the deceased has, we understand, been found.— They have been committed for trial. • Friday night t as Richard Brewer,an Ems' Officer, was vet •rning from Vauxhall DistiWry, with four pipes of gin in a boat, accompanied by a waterman. pAssing under London-bridge. the waterman, by some Accident, fell overboard ; Brewer, in attempting to s.tve him, WAS laid hold of by the waterman and pul led overboard, and both were unfortunately drowned. Saturday - se st aight; in the evening, about half-past seven o'clock, as the Glasgow steam-boat was re turning to Glasgow tram Greenock, and while near GJvan, she struck a-wherry, loaded with salt, and sunk her alum instantly. There acre two men on board at the time she went down, wbn fortunately saved themselves by swimming, till picked up by the crew of the iteam•b•rat. Monday sennight ' a fine boy, etnployed to drive the gin horse at the Woodshall Colliery, near Talk, drawing an empty corve towards the mouth of the pit. vie hook annexed thereto suddenly slipped, and the unfortunate boy fell bead-foremost to the bottom of the pit.-aad was instantly killed. On the 7th inst. a singular circumstance took place at Crabs-ell Mill; near Dover. As a farmer's ser vant war at the mill unloa;!;ng a waggon with wheat, in Wag the rope round one of the sacks, his thumb became entangled, and the man was drawn up to the tap of the mill, which is a very eoasidesable height, and although the whole weight of his body was sus ' peaded univ by his thumb, yet he sustained no i jury. • L rat week, on digging a piece of. ground, lately converted into a j ,arden of a house, near the road from Colchester to Leaden, the remains of a leaden coffin. sax feet in length, were discovered, about 18 inches from • the surface. The upper part appears either to have mouldered away, or lv-en broken by the spade into small fragments. The bottom antl. l ars also-are in a very maperfe“..maue ; the latter i were perforated with esseerlingly large iron was, et/toeing that it had been inclosed in a thick incase skin of wood. The interior was filled twills earth. ..mong which three iamb glass phials, or lachry ma •os 1.11. were found—one perfect, the other two beoken •))thv spade. About a loot from the head of the c. tEn, a small calibre vtssel, without a cover, re. scrupling those in use among the Romans, was dngj up in an entire state. There is no clae for conjec toting whose body the coffin may have contained ; but, from the circumstance of lachrymatories being found therein, .n which it was the custom, in ancient tomtit, to collect the tears of surviving friends and re -1 itives, And consign them to the tomb with the ashes or body of the defunct, it is probable that it had re. al:Oiled many centuries. Saturday seintight, the post-boy conveying the mad to Behind, was stopped at Kilnaearra, about live miles fr , ,m the town, by three men, who robbed him of all the Wes. Tuesday, between one and two o'clock in the after noon, :45 Joseph Bayley, millwright, arid servant to Mr. Minos:, en, t ineer, of Bradford, float Taunton, was on his journey to Bruton, he met at the bottom of the hill, about two miles from Somerton, towards Langport, two men on horseback and two on toot, all booted, having the appearance of horse dealers The former were abreast of. each other, and the latter got between the hedge and Bayley, sons to bring him as near the horsemen as possible, one of whom threw his whip round Bayley's throat, while those on foot caught him by the poll, and rifled his pocket of his purse and lfis. ; they all tried on his hat, but threw it away, together with his purse.
