RIOT AT SHADWALL.—Yesterday, betwees three and four o'clock in the afternoon, a serious Affray and riotctook place at ShadwelL A Sailor, in a state of intoxication, passing by the residence f the Lascar seamen, gave one of the latter some offence. A quar rel consequently ensued, and the sailor heat his anta gonist, who ran into his quarters. The whole of the Lascars, nearly 400 in number, then sallied out to at tack the sailor, armed with bludgeons, pokers, &c. —The sailor, finding himself likely to be over powered, made an obstinate resistance, and fought desperately with a knife in one hand, and a bludgeon in the other. ln the scuffle the sailor stabbed one of the Lascars in three parts of his body, and finally ' effected his escape to a p ublic -house. The Lascars toh:r hey n stroun,hd.oed d th h e av tau c se on , r a e n ye d dhi brought ro the ir sailbr quar ters, where he would doubtless h ave falle n a -sacrifice to their fury, had not the funeral train of a:Volunteer, which happened to be near, obstrncted their progres , . The Volunteers, who belonged to one of the White chapel corps, hearing the shouts of the Lascars, and being informed of the cause, immediately cut the retreat of them, by pushing forward with fired i bayonets on each side the greet.

Kidd insisted upon his accept i ng t he loan of h alf a crown'to treat them, which poor Levy very unwillingly did. After treating them, Kohl began a series of injuries which he inflicted upon Levy, by knocking him repeatedly down, breaking his box of trinkets, trampling upon them, and at length hand cuffed him as a deserter, and carried him off in a coach • but by the interference of some' gentlemen poor Ileiy was liberated. Kohl, in. his defence, insisted, that he had enlisted Levy at Gravesend twelve months before, and that he deserted, with part of the bounty money. Upon Levy being questioned as to this fact, he denied it. The Jury found Kohl Guilty, and the Court or dered him to pay a fine of 40s. William Booth, a gamekeeper to Lord Berkeley, was / indicted fur assaultmg T. Moore, and forcibly taking from him a ferret. The prosecutor, Moore, stated, that On the 14th of January he was going on the mad lead ing from Hesson to Uxbridge; he had a bag and a ferret, having had permission from some neighbouring far mers to kill the rabbits on their grounds. - He met Booth, ''Whom he knew to be gamekeeper to Lord Berkeley. Beath asked him what he had got there ? he replied, '1 ferret. 'Booth immediately ordered him to give it 'v tohin ; he replied, he would not. Mr. Booth immediately knocked him down, and took away the ferret. At the same time he ordered his assistant to search the prosecutor's brother-in:law, who was in company with him. The proseCutor told him he would 'go to a Justice, and make complaint against him.— • Bt oth replied, if he did not immediately get off as fast as he could, he would give him a worse drubbing. —lt was argued by the Defendant's Coun sel, that a amekeeper, by law, was authorized to take away a ferret from any person found with it on the manor. But the Court said there was no legal proof that the Defendant was a gamekeeper. He was found -guilty, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment. .
