Yesterday b.iiv May day. acct rding to antient custom, groups of 'chimney sweepers appeared in all parts of the town, in their gs and; da cos:ume ; several of them were accoinp,nied by J.wk, in Ms Gam, and drums and tiles, in addition to the mu/ea/instruments of th -ir pr. fission. 0.. e party load a lad dressed ala Grimaldi. who pored himself no bad tumbler. The drivers of the .tage coacht.s to the visages round the anete.pnlis also partook of the festivity, by receiving, ace.loing to annual usage, a cockade at every public house, at which they cansta..tly stop for telreshnotnt in the course of th:nr hag journies, to the:rat/Art/ex of the passengers. liy noon, their hats appeared cu. vend with vat ions coloured ribbons. A few :says b,ck a beautiful child, about a month old, was exposcd at the doer of No. 48, Portland, Flaw, it is supposed by its unnatural mother. It was dressed in a bufffrock and flannel petticoat ; and has light hair and complexion. Ij 'was given over to the proper °Mitts. Bow.s.rnat.T.—Yesterday Ause Read was charged on suspicion of attempting to poison her father and mother, who reside in Matmouthatteet, and carry on the business of manufacturing ink. It appeared that Mr. and Mrs. Read were going to have some tea, which was made in the usual way, and in the teapot which they constantly used. On the tea being poured out into tl.e cups, they said it appeared to be white, and that it had a peculiar and disagreeable smell. Mr Read did not drink any df it, but Mrs. Read did, and she complained afterwardi of a paid and a heat at her stomach. They suspected that ,something imptoper had been-put into the teapot : what remained of it was put into a bottle and taken to Mr. Buggy's, an apothecary in the neighbourhood, who said there was arsenic in the tea ; and learning slot Mrs. Read had drank some, advised her to take a dose of salts. The tea was also taken to the sloop of Mr. Jarvis, ancOotr apothecary is that nrigisionn hond, where it was also sAid to c::ntam arse' ic.— Mrs. Read acknowledged yesterday that she 1:.1,! taken the dose of salts, as she had been desired, aad that she loam! no bad effects from the tea since the sensation which she had at expel ienced on bet stomach. Mr. Read would nut swear o.:sitively that be had not put m'lk into tl.e tea to make it look white. • The ground of suspicion against the prisraer was, that • slue does not live with them, and had bien in the room by herself where the tca•l:ot was kept about an hour before the tea was made. Sir N. CONANT ob served, that this was a serious charge of a father and mother (mother•in•law) against their daughter ; and it should therefore be seriously investigated. He therefore dirtcted an ofliva to take the tea to Mr. Duagy'i and Mr. Jarvis's shops, where Mrs. Read Lad originally taken it, which he accordingly did; but neither of them could give a positive answer, cept it was analyzed, which they were not prep are d to do. The constable, therefore, took it to Mr. Ac cusn's, in Old Costpton.street, who undertook to ana. 'pelt. but said the process would not be complete • till this evening. FINSBURY 7)YSPENS.4AZY.

A statement was read by the Secretary, from which it appeared that this Dispensary was founded in 178;4 since which about 120,000 persons had been 'the objects of its Intinarie operations; that in the course of last year 6,000 were relieved, end that 700 patients were at present on 014:hooks! When the liealths of the MAYOR and Cot. poratiln of London, with &WIWI; BELL and Timito, were given, Sir THOMAS Bets. rose and pleadA the • cause of this excellent liistitution ; in the corns's! of which he alluded in strong language to the chliga. Lions of the City to the Duke of KENT for that re markable activity whichhe had shown on all occasions in every Institution, having in view the relief of the poor and the destitute.—Mr. Ti.u►rsort rocked an Ode composed for the occasion. _ • It was a gratifying pectacle to perceive a nume rous assemblage of the fair sr% enter the room to witness the pruceudings, who subset ib ,11 most liberally, and their healths were given with enthusiasm. Among the number of strangers present were Fir Patrick Walker, Usher of the White Rod; the Sultan- Kadde-liarty-tizim-Lihery ; Doctor Mimi, of Peter:burgh, who had acconl.enied the Grand Di.ke General Liintb, of the llouse of Rtpteseniativesoilnierici; Fir Rohirt Steele; Ge ucra's Fivnine and Wetherall; 4. ,11:anl Rae Wilson, Esq. of , Fcotland; Mr. it titherford, one of the Magistrves of Glalow ; Ductor kurbes, Physician to the For:::; and Don Verillii, We canuct menti:.n all the loyal and benevolent toasts giscn dating t;.t: t•veLi:;-g. .11,e following, ill paiticular, was drenk with tap:wrens :ipplause, afar an ciccintut atieress given I,) Mr. RAE Wasoa on that gt:dlike CAICtr wlucii bat: been so urreniittingly put surd by his Royal 11i;;;Iiness pouting in," like The Sarniritan tit cid, wine and °a into wound 3," and in lei'ding the hungry and chthing the naked : " May every PALee In tl.e Globe strotT,ly irmk those inelo lati,;.tb:e iiC:b wheu are exercised by his P.4 , yal Hi t ,lter.: the Duke ei! lu the 1; .. ..eat cause ul et;:;eliti 4 ; Humanity, anti go 0.7:14 ?.::cite'" excellect 13.4nd of the Life Collards, and a igl.lay..!

After dinner, •• Nun Nobis Doniine," was sung in admirable style by Messrs. EVANS, INCLE• D 314, LELT, DIGNUS/, ELLIOT, ;Mt! SHIELD. After the usual patriotic toasts, his Royal }Ugliness the Duke of SUSSEX begged leave to propose one toast to the company, which he was sure would meet their decided approbation—it was the health of her Royal Highness the Princisv CharLitte and his Serene Highness the Prince of Saxe Cohourg. As vi-mor tow was the Anniversary of their happy marriage ; and as she, his lovely and dear relatioli, was much adored by Britons, hr hoped the return of that happy event would be drank with much pleasure—(Leud j and reheated elseering.)—After the toast, which was drank with three times three, the song of Here's a health to alt good lassea" was sting and much ap plauded.--His Royal Highness then übservesl, that it became him as Chairman to say a few words on the object for which they were met. No man could feel more deeply than lie cl:d the high importance of so benevolent an Institution es the present. In every class of society, woe, to a greater cr le,s event, was 1 1 felt s but when we considered, that to literary eha ract rs we were surely indebted for the profound dis coveries in science, etc. which had happily been made, hews persuaded tin re t:.ere none prustnt who would. nit cheerfully lend their aid in support of struggling virtue. Now, when the glass of pleasure was Wore them, they were apt to forget the miseries of their poorer brethren, but he besought tht n, to think of the hargari looks, the miserable hovels, and the teanty nrepls of many valuable, but unfuiiunate an. dims. After a most interesting and animated appeal to the benevolent feelings of his audience, his Royal Highness concluded by proposing as a tom.t-•• 4 1 Sac ..ess and prosterity to the Literary Fund." In the course of the evening, Mr. FITZ3ERALD, according to clistom, recited a poetical address tor ?lie anniversary of the Fund. The Secretary also made I a statement of the present state of their finances ; by which it appeared, that since the last anniversary, ' the aggregate b sluice of rubicriptions was 401,535 :Si. Bd. The folloviinst, among other subscsiptions, were also announced a—the Prime Rroer, patron of the Society, £210 ; the Duke of Sussix, 20 guineas.

Mr. JERVIS applied tor a Habeas Corpus to bring up the body of Mr. Stephen Adams, a silversmith, who had been committed to Warwick jail, chargad, on the oath of John White, with having, on the of April last, wilfully discharged at him, a three barrelled pistol, two of which bands were loaded with pawder and ball, and the content; of which lodged in his shoulder. The affidavits produced in fay.iur of the application stated, that the misfortune had been cccasioued by mere accident ; the prisoner was on a kairney of business routid the country, and arrived at the Woolpacik Inn s where the man who had been wounded was a helper in the stables. Mr. Adams was unpacking the seat of his chaise while White was standing at the door ; and taking up a pistol, he asked White if he were tired of life ? White replied, not jet ; when the pistol went off, and two balls lodged in the shoulder of the man against whom it was directed. Adams, seeing what be had dour, said—"" Long have mercy upon me, what have I done ? I would rather have given a thousand pounds, than that it should have happened." White was immediately carried to a surgeon, where one of t!.i: balls was extracted, but the other has not yet beet found. The affichvits of several prisons prmnt at the time were produced, to shew that the was entirely accidental ; and the surgeon swore, that about two hours after the wound was in flicted, White said be was sure Adams did not intend to shout him. The affidavit of the prisoner Adams accoi,nted for the accident by stating, that as he tra veLed with valuable goods, he used the precaution of carrying a three barielled pistol ; and that having procui rat the fellow to it for a friend, who admired it, he took up the loaded one, and presented it, think ing that it was the new gaistbl he had recently pur chased.—The Court granted the writ, and a certiorari. TDB KING V. lIIUSIIATT AND BOYD. The defendants in this case, John Mushatt and Ilinnah Boyd, were brought up to receive judgment, having beets found Guilty at the Sittings alter last 'feint, of publishing a libel, defamatory of the cha racter of a Gentleman named Woodmas and his wile. In this libel tke defendants imputed to Mr. Modena* a design to seduce Hannah Boyd, who is the sister of the prosecutor's wife—and the libel also charged Mrs. Woodmas with labouring strenuously to inJuce her sister to comply with the desires of her husband. The defendants put in two affidavits, in mitigation of punishment. That of H/1111.111 Boyd set forth, that the matters contained in the libel acre strictly true. That Mr. Woodmas had made dishonourable proposals to her, and that her sister had endeavou-ed to petsuade her to agree to his infamous proposition. 'Tat she iiiJiguantly refused, and threatened to pro stcute--in consequence of which the parties offered her two hundred pounds to abandon this intention-- a which sum she had received one hundred pounds. ;!':).it on a ce:tain evening she called on Mr. Wood mas, who took tier into his parlour, and made her drink br..r.dy and water till she was intoeicated That whi!e in this state he reduced a paper, and caused her to sign it, tlitoi; 4 lt she was ignorant of its • contents—but she now verily believed that it was a relt.ase from the payment ul t!:e remaining one bun ere,' pound:. Tie a11i...••• 7 t of Mushatt set forth. that he believed H.enr..zh Boy ,L to be an injured young woman, and that, in espousing her calm... he believed he was sup portiog that of oppressed innocence.. Both the par ties ,fated that they had already beeu•ten months in confinement. The Avronxzy CzxnnAr. said, if he were left to his own discrolon, he. would immediately pray judg .ment against the defendants, whose affidavits greatly aggravated their original offence ; but his clients wt.hed him to act otherwise, being desirous of having an opportsuity to contradict every statement taincd in the ALF:davits. This they could easily Lbs.— for they were quite ready to give a positive denial to the whole of then ; he, therefore, requested that time might be given, in order to procure a eery of "the afliJavits: The Court ordered the defendants to be brought up for judgment this day week. LORD RIVERS V. BIRO. The Court was occupied nearly the 'oriole of the day in hearing the Judge's Report upon this impor tant case, in which the boundaries of Crnticurne Chase were called in question.
