Mr. ease, keeper of Liricoln gaol, stated that the plaintiff was agentto Mr. Fazakerley, Mem ber for the City of Lincoln; Mr. Facitkerley was a subscriber to the Lincoln Public Library. The practice .1 the Libra y was, that when subscriptions became due and remained unpaid. the names of the deiaulters should tie put -up in the Library. Mr. Faz ikesley's subscription having remained unpaid for !leaf a year, has name remained up during all that time. Dr. Charleswiirth, who WAi an intimate iris nd of Mr. Fazakinley's, inquired of the liorafiab the reams,' why it was MA paid 1 What answer he received did not appear; he, however, applied to Mr. fieethsm, - Mr. Fasakerler steward, for his au thority to pay the subscription. amounting to onei guinea, and having obtained that authority. he paid it. and afterwards it appeared that he obtained Me. Beetham's sanction to his paying it. by tepresentivig that the plaintiff bad stated he shoold.declinf paying tbbsubseription, as he had no han ds Ofidr. Faza kerky's in his hands, and that Miss' Fisher, .the li brarian, had told him on. On the day in question the parties met at the Library, whets the conduct ors Dr. Charlesworth became the subject of comerse! tion, and Miss Fisher was appealed to, who Pour Lively denied ever having told the de.endant that Mr. MAW* had said he would not pay the subscription as he had no funds in hind. Mr. Mason. upon thisyi proceeded to remonstrate . with Dr. ,Charlisswortb, who returned this remonstrance, by saying to the Plaintiff; ." Do you mead to say I have said any Cling:that's false 1" Plaintiff said.

Mr. Mason guarded, and attempted to put in blows as well as he could ; does not know that Mr. Mason is as will skilled in pugilism ai in law. Miss Mary Ann./411er, assistant librarian at Lin coln Library, was in the library on. the day this as mule took place. Dr. ebarksworth, asked witness is she bad not told bon that Mr. Meson bad *wed to pay Mr. Fasaketley's subscription.

Mr. Torritto addressed the Jury for the defendant, and obseeved, that one singular circumstance in this case was the removing this cause from Lincoln, where it slight have been tried at ttle last Assizes ; his Learned Friend had said it was removed, because it would, it tried at Lincoln, have been canvassed. and decided butte ,e west sate Court. Sur this implant titan the city of Lincoln were little obliged to those . who had instructed his Learned Friend ; the only materiel objectless to this part of his Learned Friend's instructions was, that they were not true. With re. ; spect to the assault, the most gross and irritating language had been used by the plaintiff, and the de fendant had been provoked to commit that assault, for which he bad been extremely sorry ever since, and especially for the injury which the plaintiff's person had sustained. He shouldslio call several "Awakes to prove that the words " false," and .6 it is founded in a lie," were used several times byline Dr. ,Ckatlirsworth struck bins at all.

Bow.svalutr.—Friday the Court of Etchetpwr was extremely crowded to hear - the cause of the Sing v. Mosley. The Foreman of the Jury, as soon as he had entered the Jary-boi, discovered that he bad been robbed of his pocketbook, cOntsiniug Bank of England notes and bills of exchange to a cooed,. r.ble amount. and also a silver snuff -bog, which had „heat effected by cutting his pocket with a sharp in. strutitetit. He in cunpequence complained to the ' r attlers of the Court, and it was ascettained that se. l l 'veral other Geatkmen had been robbed. Inform*- , doh was sent with all speed to the above office, when Mr. BillNlto the sitting Magistrate, dispatched Bond and Humphreys to attend the Court, to endeavour a. detect the robbers. On the constables getting to the Court they did not perceive any suspicions clot. ratters. They attended again on Saturday, and particularly noticed a well dresied young man pees. sing upon Gentlemen ; at length' they observed him put his hand into a Gentleman's pocket. take out a ilk hankerchief and put it int, his breeches. Bond ironsediately seized him and took him out of Court, giving notice to the Gentleman who had been rob bed. Bond proceeded to search his prisoner ' , when he found a sharp knife and a pair of sewers rounded at the points, of clue description used by thieves in coning pockets, two large valuable silk handker. chiefs and other property. He was brought this Office and underivent an examination, when 'Mr. Griffin, of Golden-square, who had been robbed in the Court of Exchequer, attended and identified his property of which be had been robbed. The prisoner said his name was John Fisher, and that he was a servant out of place. He was remanded. Serjeant Barr, Mr. Warnamo.t., and Mr. ScaNate. •are retained as Counsel on behalf of the State pri soners,• on their approaching trial. Their friends propose to retain a fourth Counsel, who will probably be Mr. Aimee. Mr. BeOVGIIAMi it is said, has been applied to, but has declined. The prisoners have been for some days more closely watched than usual. They are allowed to hold no conversation, even with their female relatives, except in hearing of the Yeo men who guard them. Early on Saturday morning Mr. Brown, the keeper of Newgate, was informed that attempts were making in one of the cobvict wards fur escape: he Went to the bed room, and the prisoners pretended to be asleep ; soon after he had left the room, they gave three cheers ; Mr Brown called up some of the two.. keys : they took out a few of the transports fur seven years who had not been engaged in the attempt; as soon as the others were let down in the day.room, they broke all the windows and trames. The Loan bilovost was sent for. Several persons that went in to persuade them to desist, were threatened with knives, &c. &c. The Loan MAYOR went in without a constable c and demanded four of the ringleaders; they came out and delivered themselves up ;—they were immediately put in cells. The whole surren dered, and declared, as they were to be transported for life, they were tired of being in Newgate ; they 1 1 bad no complaints to make, and only desired liberty. Coaosees lirmieets.-4aturday on Inquest was' taken at St. Giles's Wotkbouse, upon the body of la newly born infant, found dead in a heap of rubbish, on Thursday morning, in Keppel Mews, Russel.' square. The Jury were of opinion the child had been murdered, but there was no absolute evidence to that effect before them, and after deliberating half an hour they returned a verdiet—Feund upon a heap of rubbish. supposed to have died through the wilful' neglect of ths mother, or some person os prom unknown. There was another Inquest held on the body of J. Perchuse. The deceased was a shoemaker by trade, and resided in Tower.street, Sued Dials. The week before last he was in a continual state of drunkenness. On Monday morning he got sip, saying he would throw himself out of the window, add continued in a aisle of madness all Monday. when he was taken to StiGiles's Woikhouse, andin a abort time after the 1 Wive left the ward. be jumped out of bed and coati raving till a strait-waistcoat was put upon him and be was tied to the bed ; be refused nourishment or medicine. and on Friday night the jacket was taken off. in order to prepare hum to be sent to a mad-house in Bethnal Green, when a monification was discovered on his arm. His master was then sent for, to whom be told that be was screwed down I to his bed, and be died in a few boors after. Mr. ' Kasen, tbe deceased's master, thinking he died in consequence of ill treatment, insisted upon this inquiry being made. Mr. Burger, the workhouse surgeon, Mrs. Jackson the nurse, and some of the patients were examined, and. they proved that no restraint was put upon the deceased. farts er than what was necessary for persons under similar circum stances. Tie surgeon proved be laboured under a typhus (ever, which caused the derangement of his mind . ; that be had seen him daily, but be had not complained 2 being bound tight. The gangrene is his arm increased the fever ; the mortification acce lerated his death. The Jury, after a long investiga tion. returned a verdict of :Died by the Visitation of GOD. Monday evening about seven o'clock, as William, Davis, nservant of Messrs. Ralph and King, of Ips wich, was incautiously riding a horse full gallop on the road kading from Ipswich to Wherstead, he came in contact with a donkey cart driving towards Ipswich, which the horse ran against with such vio lence. that Davis, and the horse he was riding, tell to the ground, and the young man was killed.

The Second Report of the Comdtittee of the liuttee of Commons appointed to inquire into the 3t..te of the Police of the Metropolis, and to report the !lame, with their Observations thereupon, from time to time, to the House, together with the Minutes of the Evidence taken before them ; aril who were in structed to re?ort generally upon the execution of the Laws relating to the Licensing of Victuallers; dnd to whom the several Petitions which have been pre sented in this Session of Parliament, relating to Li. censed Victuallers, were referred, have, pursuant to the Order of the House, inquired into the matters to them Wetted, and agreed to their Report, which has been printed. It is of considerable length, and after a minute detail, thus coneledes In reviewing the whole of the evidence that bas been examined before your Committee, they feel that the evils to be remedied in the present system of licensing are : I. Mt facility and parlidity with which, Ir some d:stricts, rms. licenses are gran:ed. difficulty that is found in pnitirc the p•esert laws in force to punish the miseonduct of the publican, art the irrputiii which in consequence he enjoys. 3. Tie insecurity et property, which is the consequence of the arb!tmty power claimed and exercised ty the Mak:traces to slept:we old established victuallers of their liceu,es. In the remedies which they propose to the consi delation of the House, your Committee have prin cipally in view to lessen the temptations which are held out• to the poor and ignorant t' destroy their property and character by licenti , us living and in tercourse; and skile they place a bar to the further' progrets of a system, the fatal effects of which are' but too visible, they have no less in view the secu ring to the honest and sober tradesman the undis turbed enjoyment of his property, so long as he does not offend against the laws of hi•.. country. With these views, and under these circumstances, your Committee recommend that the Certificate which, on the obtaining of a new license, each victualler is required by law to praline prior to ob. mining such license, should be signed by the Mini. .ter, or the major part of the Parish Officers, and a certain number of respectable householder;, not only of the parish in which be lived for the last siz months, but also from the parish in which lie is about to open the public-house; that in all transfers of licenses, the in.coming victualler should be obliged to produce a similar Certificate ; and that notice of such proposed transfer should be given fourteen days at least by the parties to the Clerk of the Justices' meeting. That •the recognizance: should be 430 for each alehouse-keeper, and 4€20 for one security or 130 fdr two, and that no victualler or brewer should be security for another. That in case of disorderly conduct, the Magistrates in Petty Session should be empowered, upon proof being given or set before them, to fine for the first offence ;;Us. and not less than Aft.; for the second offence £3, and not less than SUs.;. and for the third offence to suspend the license till the next General Quarter Sessions, when they are required to prose cute the ponies on the recognizance:, to send the case to a Jury, and, if conviction be obtained, the Court to have the power of either - cstreating the re cognizance* or taking away thei.icenses, t.r both of them. In all events where the license is estreated, it is not to be renewed till the next licensing day, when the house is to be taken, and considered as a new house. That in the case of a Petition for a license to open a• new public-house. notice be given three months prim se the licensing day to the clerk of the licensing meeting. when the propriety of such license shall be examined in open Court and that all the parties have power to tender evidence on oath, and to be heard by themselves or Counsel. That no Magistrate shall license public-houses that are his own property, or for which he is Ma nager or Agent, or sit on the Bench while they are licensed. That the Magistrates of the different Counties and Divisions co send a return to the licensing Ma gistrate, of the different convictions had against the Public-houses in the respective Districts, and that a book be kept by the Clerk of the Justice meetings to enter the same. That the expense et • the proceedings., as well as• dint of the trial by Jury, be paid out of the County Of City Rates; and that the Clerk of the Justice Meetings carry on such proceedings. That no established victualler be deprived of his license under any pretence whatever, without a trial by Jury, in the manner above stated ; or except he be convicted of felony, or misprision of felony, or keeping . a disorderly house; when the licence shall be forfe ited, and no new license granted till the next general licensing day. That the Chairman of the Committee be directed to bring in a all for tbebetter regulation of alehouses. HYDROPHOBEA.-011 the 28th of March last medi cal aid was called in to Mr. John Wolf. near Ger mauatowa, in America, who complained .of a violent paia in the shoulder, extending to thenec Ir. It hadoeen supposed to be a rheumatic attack; and treated ac cordingly. When Dr. Runkle saw the patient, who ! was about 22 years and six months tad. lie was struck with an expression of wildness in the eye, and a gene ral aspect at alarm. These symptoms, for the first time, induced an idea that the case was very diffe rent from what it had heretofore been supposed. — The Ductcr asked for some water; as soon as it was brought, the patient shrunk back with alarm ;—the water was then taken out of sight, and poured from one vessel to another ; the sound produced a still more serious alarm in the patient, and lest no longer any doubt as to the nature of the disease. Upon strict inquiry it was found, that Mr. W..lt hsd been to Philadelphia in the month of December last, and was bit in the calf of the leg, through his woollen pantaloons, by a small dog. The nature of the disease being ascertained, Mr. Wilt felt has situation, and expressed his conviction that his death was ine. likable. He requested this father to put him in irons ; this his father refused to do ; the )(mug man him. self then had the irons procured, and - put a padlock en, locked it, and gave the key to his father. He than desired to see the Rev. Mr. Wick, with whom he had much religions conversation, prayed with ler , Tour, and resigned himself to the will of bu Cuga , To& Boon after the departure ~of Mr. Wick, the disorder auaused its height, and Mr. Wolt died about ail P.

His brother, who was in stantly let down after him, was seii:e•d in e same way. A man was then sent down after theta, alter him a av:onsl, who were immediately affected in a sin . ilar way. A third man, alter isavin , .7 filed a rope round the second man, diopped lid the laid•: by which he had descended, and became at less as the others. Not appalled by the dreadh.. scene before him, a fourth man ventured ' ` own.— Who with great difficulty succc-ded in 4ringin?, the remaining apparently lifeless b• tiie>. ot men were in a few hours restored to their despot:cling wives and families ; the third still rem'i•i , in z Eat, of great danger. The poor boys, it:io had so long been exposed to the noxious cause, were too far gone to be recovered by the useial means resorted to in casrs of suspended animatbm +h•wgh those meats were persevered in for the space of Gve hours, under the direction and application of Llr.
