{ BOW-STIZ EFT. have been forced to believe that . theie Gentlemen, like the children of the Hindoos and Pagans, have been taught mysteries and not facts, that in conse qtience they have been brought up in ignorance, and trained to force the same ignorance upon others, and that by reason of this grievous error, ignorance, po verty, vice, and misery are unnecessarily perpetuated among mankind. My real offence, in their eyes, is that I have consi dered it my duty to follow an opposite course to thilt which they recommend; and that in consequence, the inhabitants of New Lanark have derived the greatest benefit, even from the very partial change bf system which I have introduoed. 1 would here distinctly state my conviction that the children here, and the population generally, are as much inferior to what they would become under a completely rational system of training, that should surround them with favourable circumstances only, as they are at present superior in habits, dispositions, and general information, to the most neglected Indi viduals to be found anywhere in society. My principles I have no wish to disguise. They are true or false; agreeable to facts or opposed to them : and I am willing to meet the General Assem bly at any time and place they may appoint, for the purpose of discussing, in an open and friendly man ner, those points wherein the principles which.l ad vocate may differ from those which they have been taught to entertain, and which, in consequence, they deem it their duty to teach to others. Should these Gentlemen convict me of holding one principle which is not in strict accordance with every known fact, or of which the practical application is not directly calculated to increase the knowledge, the virtue, and the happiness of mankind, I will at once, before the world, acknowledge my error. But should I be able satisfactorily to prove that the system which 1 recommend will soon place every individual be yond the reach of poverty, will effectually exclude temptation to evil, will permanently establish the vir tue, and continually promote the happiness of the world, then shall I expect that the time is arrived when that reverend body will no longer regard my advocacy of such a system as an offence, but will cordially unite with me in rendering their fellow.' creatures daily and hpurly wiser and happier. If the General Assembly will not adopt this short and decisive step, to bring before the tribunal of the! Public what they must now consider a dangerous heresy, I must conclude that they are not desirous of having the principles and practices of the two sys tems placed on a fair and open comparison, if fair it can be called, when every possible advantage is pro posed to be given to the old system, and when the' new shall be advocated against their united learning, by one unlearned individual. My extreme anxiety on this subject arises from a desire that the errors which now prevail in society, and the miseries which are experienced by so many millions of our fellow -creatures, even in the British empire, should not continue to exist one day longer than is absolutely unavoidable. New Latuirk, 30Lb August, 1823. ROBERT OWEN. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. TREADMILL SITCULATIONS.—Mr. Cook, a constable of Norfolk, came to town on Saturday, for the purpose of studying treadmill ogrophy, preparatory to the erection of such a machine in his own constablewick. On Sunday he was invited to dine with the Governor and study the treadmill at the Brixton House of Cor rection. On his way thither, he went into the military chapel at Whitehall; and whilst there his pocket was picked of his hand kerchief by Tam Corduroy--a youth as well versed in treadtnill ography ainlzonseyancing as any going. Several persons saw Tom 0 do the trick," and he was instantly handed over to the patrol— the Norfolk constable undertaking to attend and prosecute, him before the Magistrate. Yesterday morning Tom Corduroy was duly brought before Sir Rica/MD; bat the Norfolk Constable—probably ashamed of having been initiated into one of , the mysteries of the treadmill in so uneonstablelike a manner—never made his promised ap pearance; and Tops Corduroy was therefore committed underl the Police Act as a rogste and vagabond, instead of a thief. His sentence was two months' labour at the treadmill—so the Nor-' folk Constable may, if he choose, have the satisfaction of study ing the operation with a particular interest. A Nice Pona.—Yeiterday a hackney-coachman appeared to answer the complaint of a Gentleman for charging two shillings as his fare from near the end of Bedford -street, in the Strand, to Buckingham-gate. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE thought the coachman was right, and recommended the parties to put down live shillings each to have it measured. Coachee complied, but the Gentleman thought it -better to bear the evils that be had than to Sy to others that be knew not of. The Gentleman was asked if he had not had it measured? but he made no reply, .until he was called on to pay the expenses; when, taking out his purse, he dropped the money into coachee's dark brown fist; at the same time observing, in contemplative mood—" Two shillings the fare, and two shillings the summons, and two shillings now, make six shillings which this confounded job has cost me." • Thanlee Sir," said coachee—thrusting the money into his pocket—" and the ground is just sir yards over the mark." • —Which unfortunate six yards have cost you, Sir, just one shillingper yard !" added his Worship. • MANSION•HOUSF Mary Cagey summoned John Clark aid John &oil, members of the Society of Friends, to answer for having turned her away from the (bakes' Meeting-house, 13ishopsgate-street. Mary Catley said that the went, according to custom, to the Meeting-house, but was refused admission by John. Cl ark, the door-keeper, who was assisted by John Shoil in keeping her out of the Meeting. _ It appeared that Mrs. Cathy has an unoonquerable desire for extemporaneous preaching, and has annoyed the congregation of Friends since the year 1801 ; and the rules of the Society not pertnittiut indiscriminate harangues, they at length endeavoured to put a stop to her oratory. No proceeding was taken in the affair, end the Lady declared that she wohld persevere, even unto death. _ GUILDHALL. 3lr. Alderman CROWDER, in the regular course of the rota. took his seat at this Justice-room yesterday, for the first time since his elevation to the Magistracy, and was occupied a considerable time with the cases of persona who had been remanded on charges of a trifling nature from Bartholomew-fair, all of whom were, on the appearance of persons to their character, discharged with suitable admonitions. There was, however, one committal, in the case of John Cannon. Regaling at the " Fortune of Wei," he had taken some silver out of his pocket to pay fur the oysters he had had, when the prisoner Caroline Higgins, a beautiful brunette, made a grab at it, and succeeded in getting tis. 6d. which was found down her bosom when she was secured. She said she was a ser vant out of place, and not at all di.henest.—Committed for trial. QUEEN-SQUARE Salomon Victor Jacques, a Frenchman, who has resided in Lon don since January; 1820, wets brought up in the custody of An derson, the messenger of the Alien Office owing to an irregularity in the registry of his certificate, and ordered to find ball. This proceeding arose out of some threats uttered by him of shooting the fa th er of a young female of whom he had become ena moured, who, disapproving of the connection, had ttmoved his daughter to a situation where the prisoner was debarred of access to her company. _ TIIAMES POLICE. . • Nivanza or Ma. SMITH, or Lzwraltati.-00 Friday, informa tion was received by the Officers of this Police, front Goff and • Lawrence / . cotistableior Lanibeth, which led to the opprehen lion of another of the persons summed to have been implicated in this horrid'affair. Yesterday, between one and two o'clocic, lie was put to the bar, before J. C. licontetr. Esq. the Sitting Magistrate, and give his name Joh* Timothy, and was appa rently about 35 years of age. The Magistrate declined entering into a minute examination of the case, and remanded the pri soner till a communication of his apprehension is made known to the Magistrates of Greenwich, and ordered him to be kept from any intercourse. UNION-HALL. Saturday, Jarratt's Hastingswaggon,which goes from the Spur 'lnn, in the Borough, was robbed whilst standing in the Inn yard, of notes and cash, belonging to _Messrs. Smith and GUI, of the Hastings Bank, to the amount of 2,3001. The property was deposited in an iron chest, at the bottom of the waggon, secured with five patent locks. Upwards of three tons weig ht were loaded upon it. The robbers cut the tilt and unloaded the wag gon, and then broke open the chest, and succeeded in carrying off the prize. Suspicion has fallen on two men one of whom is in custody, and was examined yesterday. lie was remanded fora week. LAMBETH-STREET. E. Howard, a boy, was fined 20s. under the Act for punishing malicious injuries. He had wantonly fired a piece of iron from a small cannon• through the parlour window of Mr. Wren, in Chapel-street. when Mrs. W. while placing her infant in a cradle, narrowly esimped receiving the charge in her bead. J. Hope was charged with an audacious robbery. The land lord of the Magpie and Stump, St. George's in the East, was turning the prisoner out (he having cheated him of a halfpenny), when he made a snatch at the landlord's watch seal, which he obtained and ran of with, but was overtaken. The prisoner said, he meant to lay hold of the complainant's waistcoat only to save himself from falling, and caught the watch-ribbon acci dentally.—Committed. LONDON SESSIONS. Yesterday, the Sessions for the City of London were held before the LORD MAYOR, the RECORDER, Aldermen Sir U. C. GLYN, C. &UM, COS, LUCAS, and Thomism The RECORDER, in his charge to the Grand Jury, said, he regretted to state to them that the calendar for the ensuing Sessions was unusually heavy, and that the number was greater than he remembered for many years, particularly on the London side. T. Forster, the driver of a Blackheath coach, was charged with having, on the 20th of May last, driven a certain coach wilfully and carelessly, so as to in flict an injury on the person of a Gentleman named Finlaysan. _ _ Mr. BOLLAND stated the case for the prosecution, which, he said, was the first that had been instituted under a very salutary Act, which had been passed about two years ago for the protection of the Public against the careless driving in which men of the de- fendant's class were apt to indulge. The prosecutor, Mr. Finlayson, was probably known to the Jury as the publisher of the Price Current, which went under his name. The first witness examined by the Learned Counsel was Michael Davison, who deposed, that he is the .driver of a Blackheath coach. The defendant was also the driver of a Blackheath coach. On the 20th of May last, witness was returning to Blackheath, when he drew up at the foot of Fish-street-hill, to take up a passenger. Witness drew up on the near, or left side of the road, not close to the curb, nor far enough from it to allow a coach to pass clear be tween. Mr. Finlayson was an outside passenger.-- The witness's coach was in the position described, and the passenger was about to step into it when the defendant came down the hill, and instead of passing on the off side, as he ought to have done, he drove in between witness's coach and the curb. Witness's coach was upset by the violence of the shock, and the hind wheel was smashed. Witness, at the moment of the shock, was too much frightened to observe what had happened behind, but he afterwards found Mr. Finlayson on the ground, with his leg broken. A wheel had probably gone over it. The defendant drove on, though he was called after. The cad or guard of the coach driven by the last witness, deposed, that he opened the door on the left side to let in the passenger. The passenger was just stepping in, when the defendant drove in, and obliged witness and the passenger to save themselves by' running off. The coach was then upset, and Mr. Finlayson's leg run over. Witness saw a bone from his leg picked out of the kennel. Mr. Finlayson was then examined. He sat during the examination. He corroborated the statement of the two fist witnesses, as• to the situation of their coach, and the manner in which the defendant drove pn the wrong side between it and the curb. Witness felt the coach going over, and after that was insen sible, until lie found that he had been taken up with his leg broken. It had since been amputated. Wit ness was still under professional care. Mr. Travers stated, that he found Mr. Finlayson labouring under a compound fracture, which ren dered amputation necessary. The defendant, in his defence, expressed his regret for what had happened ; but said it was owing to the first witness not drawing up his coach in a proper manner close to the curb. For the defence, one of the passengers gave a dif ferent account of what had happened : but it ap peared the witness was not in a situation from whence he could see all that happened. The defendant was conside►ed a steady driver. - The RECORDER, in his charge, said, by the new Act, which, in fact, was only declaratory of the law as it stood before, it was made the duty of these coachmen to drive with such a degree of care as to avoid danger as far as human beings could avoid it ; and if by want of due care they occasioned an injury to any one, they were answerable for that injury to the extent of their want of care. The Jury found the defendant Guilty. The defend , ant cried exces,ively, and pleaded the month's im , prisoninent he had already undergone in mitigation. The RX.CORDER said, it should be made known amongst the coachmen that the hair-breadth driving to which they were accustomed, could not be per mitted, and that they must not run any danger for their own convenience. It was the duty of the de fendant to have stopped at the least hazard, for coach= men were not to be allowed to take-the chance of danger to any one. In consideration of the impzison ment he had already undergone, the sentence of the Court was, that the defendant should be imprisoned fur three months in the Compeer. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Yesterday these Sessions commenced before FRAN CIS Cotisr, Esq. Chairman. There was a very thin attendance of Grand Jurors. James . Perry was indicted for assaulting a man named Kapol. The defendant, it appeared, is a pastry cook in Oxford -street, and the pi opriewr of a farm •• z - -h , • .. at Paddington. The prosecutor acted as his steward. Upon ,the day laid in the indictment, Perry was at the farm, and finding fault with the way in which some hay was scattered about, a dialogue ensued be tween him and Kapol, in the course of which, he called the latter " an insulting fellow ;" and was told in reply that ".he was an old pastry-cook fellow," and a 44 leering fellow; upon which he threatened to knock Kapol's head from his shoulders. Kapol told him he might do it as soon as he liked. He im mediately knocked Kapol off the stool on which he was sitting milking a cow; and seizing a pitchfork, stuck him In the jaw and hand with it; and struck . him several blows on the ribs while down. • In some time afterwards, When turning him out of the house, he held his arm against the post of the door, and threatened to break it, if he did not instantly leave the house. The surgeon's hill for attendance on the prosecutor, in consequence of the injuries he received upon this occasion, amounted to six guineas. When Kapol was first struck, he told the defendant that was all he wanted, and he should take the law of him. The Jury found a verdict of Guilty ; and the de fendant was sentenced to pay a fine of 201. Articles of the peace were exhibited by Mr. Anot.- elms, on behalf of Mrs. Chatterley, against Mrs. Christmas. The facts were not read aloud; but from one or two observations interchanged by the Court and Counsel, it appeared that Mrs. Chatterley com plained of Mrs. Christmas following her in the streets and various other places, even occasionally disguised, and molesting her wherever she found her. M. Riley, lVm. Dee, Emanuel Levi, and —Jack son, were indicted for keeping an unlawful gaming house, in St. James's ; but no evidence appearing in support of the indictment, they were acquitted. During the remainder - of the day the Court was occupied with assault cases of no public interest. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S, SEPT. 2. Tattersalks to-day was filled to an overflow, and a great deal of business was done in the Doncaster St. Le ger of next week ; this we attribute to the great change which has taken place in the state of the odds on the different horses, in consequence of the public trials at the late north country races. It will be seen that Sherwood has again becdme the first favourite ; this it was anticipated by some, and pretty well known by many, would be the case, on the near approach of theissue of this grand stakes. The celebrated Tinker of last week has taken the place of Sher wood there, and several others have varied, and many quite left out of the list to-day, as the statement below will demonstrate : DONCASTSI ST.

Mr. W. West, the pedestrian, had another failure yesterday. His task was to go on foot from London to the Stith mile-stone, close upon Uphaven, in the Weyhill-road to Bath, and return in 47 hours. The match was for two hundred sovereigns. BONING. An unusual degree of anxiety had been excited throughout the neighbourhood of West Hans by the battle between Fairchild and Todd ; both men are well known in that part of &sex, and Todd has frequently proved himself a good giver and taker hs the neighbourhood of Spitalfields. They are men of herculean size and strength, weighing nearly 15 stone each. The battle was fought in a field at West Ham, on Thursday last. Fairchild catered the ring, followed by. Charley the Tripper, as his second; and soon after Todd followed, with J. Gentle as his attendant: After the usual ceremonies, the following rounds took place: Round 1. On stripping we never saw men in liner condition; they in fact put us in mind of Cribb and GI egson at Moulsey Hurst. Fairchild appeared to be the heaviest nian. Fairchild bit short twice, when Todd gave him a tap 6n the nob, when a dote took place, and both down. 2,3, 4, 5. It was bellows to mend with Fairchild, and Todd was none the better, after the heavy falls he had received. 6,7, 8,9, 10,11. Todd was so distressed that on setting-to he caught hold of Fairchild's hands, when both went down in a struggle. 12, 13, 14, 15,16. Fairchild came laughing up to the scratch, giving the wink to his friends it was all right, when he hit Todd on the domino box. Both down. 17 to 20. These were pully-bauly rounds. (Disapprobation.) 21. TAls was a most extraordinary round. Both men came ready to the scratch, when Fairchild made a blow with his left hand and actually cut a piece out of his left listener.• Both down. Great applause. • 22, 23, 24. Todd, game to the last, came to the scratch, al though without a shadow of chance, and both fell without a blow. 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37. Todd's face appeared now like a blackberry pudding; and during those thir teen rounds he was thrown some very heavy falls. Five sove reigns to four he would not stand five minutes longer; but became manfully to the scratch next round. 38 up to 69. Nothing else but getting up and falling down.— Odds were offered Todd would not come again. 70. Fairchild came fresh to tha scratch ; and on time being called, Todd was not able to rise from his second's knee, being what may be called dead beat. BIRTHS. August 28, at Pirn, the Lady of Capt.
