POLICE. MANs/nN House.—Yesterday the Right Hon. C. Sarni, the newly-elected Lord Mayor, commenced the performance of his duties as Chief Magistrate, and went through the usual routine of business in the Justice Room. Two young men, having the appearance of Busk If the first water, were charged with the commissions of a most indecent assault upon two respectable fe males. Two watchmen, who witnessed the affair, said, that the conduct as well as the language of the young men was most disgraceful. One of them re peatedly made an attempt upon the younger lady, of too gross a nature to b,: described. The defendants attempted to deny the charge, but admitted that they were both somewhat 4 , fresh with wine." The Loan Matron thought the conduct of the defendants enti tled to the severest reprehension, and assured them that he would not stiffer such outrages to be com mitted with impunity. His Lordship ordered them to find sureties for their appearance at the Sessions; which they did, and were liberated. Mary Cole, Seymour, and Charles Duprey, were biouplit up under the following circumstances: On Sunday evening, between seven and nine o'clock, the shop ot Mr. Key, druggist, Aldgate, was entered, and the till plundered of a pocket-book, containing a .check tor $l9; and gold and notes to the amount of £24.. On Monday the mother of Deproy came to the shop, and stated that her son, who is net more thAn twelve rats of age, had lor sonic time past been connected with a gape of thieves, and she had every reason to tear that he was concereed in the robbery in question. The Officers, in censequeece of some direcouils-given by the unteetuliate mother, went to a house of ill fame in Gcorge.strect, Spital fields, and were thence directed to a skittleegrinind in the neighbourhood. On their way thither, they met the three prisoners together,' and apprehended the whole party. The boy Duproy immediately confessed having been concerned in the robbery of Mr. Key's shoe, and said that his share of the booty amounted to £2, %%Lich he had laid not in weitting apparel. A circumstance strongly tending to impli cate Seymour was, his having been seen at an early hour on Monday morning, in company with Duproy, enter the house in George-street. The pocketbook was fouod, stripped of its contents, lying near a ware house in George-street, a few hours alter the robbery. Armstrong, an Officer of Worship.sueet, knew Sey mour to bel - mg to a gertg of most notorious ChArAC ten, and that be was himself one of the most desire. rate. On the way to the Mansiun Honse, he nude an effort to escape, and, a' teithstanding there were lour Officers opposed to him, he was very MAT effec ting it. His bead exhibited - strong sleeks of the se venty of the contest, as did those of the Officers.— The prisoners were all rernandeiL HAMM Ganoi.e•—Deetee L'ueeeene.—Yester day Thomas Chandler and George El4licn were charged by Mr. Joseph Cutley,coach-master of Leaflet:J.l4er, with feloniou.ly eutering his dwelling-house, with intent to carry away various articles ul wearing a p. panel, his property. Mrs. Cutley, wife to pro:tett:or. deposed that on Satutd.ty evening last, about six o'clock, a young man knocked at the street deem, and on witness opening the door, he said, I have brought you very sneraticholy news; your husband has met With a very s..ad accident, by the alittree of his coach Ineakieg, by which he has a leg broke and two of his tibs ; and - tile young man repteseeted himself to be son to one el the nurses at St. ilertho lumewiti /14spitel, where her husband was taken.— Witness immediately fastened the door and went u) the Hospital, when sh 4 eliscevrred it to be a false tale.—Joseph Cutley deposed,. that about half past six o'cleck the same evening, he came home with his coach, and went into his stable, when lie heard a `great noise over head, and Lite.% ing it ceutei not be his wise. he went to the street door, but could not gain admittance. Witness then looked up at the window, and saw_ two men snit a lighted candle looking at the clock, which stands close by tit.. wio dqw. Witness made an alarm, and two of his neigh bours came and made their way - into his house, and the prisoners came in the kitchen ever the stables.— They attempted to make their escape, but were pre. vented ; the officer apprehended them in the stable. On searching the house, it was discovered they had empt:ed the drawers of all their contents, which they bad tied ep in a bundle ready to carry away, but were prevented by the arrival of the prosecutor.... Committed for trial. Usuon HALL.—Mrs. Ware, the-kes per of a brothel in Johnsoa's-coort, Westminster-road, charged Mrs. (White, the wife of Mr. White, of No. 21, Regency place, Kennington, with entering her Noose on the night of Thursday last, and stealing a curtain and counterpane belonaieg to her bed. Mrs. Ware said, that she went towards the prisoner's house, and met her with the property, wrapped in a bundle, she gave her in charge. The Magistrate, Mr. Smote, thought it singular that the prisoner should steal no- thing but such property as was found upon her, wlien she might have taken property more valuable and portable.—The prisoner, who is a respectable woman, in her defence said, that on Wednesday, the sth instant, the parcel WAS bun ght to her house by a man who she knew was acquainted with the com plainant, site expected that scare trick was b e i ng played her by Mrs. Ware, for she had sworn in the p res eaee ofsnany persons that she would be revenged, because she complained against her before the Ma gistrate some time ago. She therefore took the par. eel, and was going with It to Mrs. Ware's house, an d on the way met Mrs. W. and called to her that she bad a bundle belonging to her. Mrs. Ware called a constable, and charged her with robbing her of the property: She had delivered the property up to Mrs. Ware before she spoke about sending for an officer. Me. John Davis, constable of Lambeth. said, that he was going a long,Kennington.lane, un Friday morn ing last, and saw Mrs. Ware and the prisoner; Mrs. Wire-bad a bundle in her hand, and said that sib would gut a constable and charge the prisoner with, robbing her of the bundle. He was called to by Mr,. Ware, and she me Mrs. White into his cus. cross-examined. Mrs. Ware held the hostile. Mrs. White said at that tune, that the bun dle bad been left at her house by a man (whom be had learnt will an inmate in Mrs. Ware's house), on, Thursday night. Mrs. White said she was going to take thei rs. die to Mrs. Ware's house ; she bad covered M Ware's name on the property, and was • LONDON IrdRXET3, NOP&MBEA 11. afraid there was something unfair going forward; she thought she was doing the best to prevent any injury arising from it to herself, by taking the pro perty to those it belonged to.—Shergold, an officer of St. George's, said, that the complainant bad kept a brothel a long time—had been imprisoned for as saulting Mrs. White, and had threatened to take away her life. On the night the robbery was stated by Mrs. Wire to have been committed, ,Mrs. White had numbers of persons to prove she was at home. And the man that brought the bundle to Mrs.Wbite's house, is a man who lives mostly at Mrs. Ware's.— The Magistrate examined several other witnesses, and took great pains to thoroughly investigate this case ; at the conclusion he discharged Mrs. White, and said, that he bad no doubt but there had existed a most base conspiracy between Mrs. Ware and her man to convict Mrs. White of a felony, and to make her case appear clear, she had sent the man with the property to Mrs. White's house. The Magistrate ordered the officer to apprehend the man, and to prefer an indictment for conspiracy against him and Mrs. *are. HORRID Mortozns.....Extr.tct trout a private letter. " I have just heard that Mr. Chent►rlls of Godal ming, in Surrey, and his Housekeeper, were mur dered in his dwelling-hoarse, en Monday night.— They were found yesterday morning, dead, the bodies quite cold. Mr. Chennell was found in his bed, with his head nearly severed fratn his body; the body of the Housekeeper was found in the kitchen. They were both far advanced in years, being upwards of GO. Great hopes are entettained that the perpetrators of these horrid deeds will be discovered; one man is ut custody on suspicion. Lord Middleton, with a mo►t laudable alacrity, attended on the spot the mo went he received iotelligence of this shocking cata strophe, to make personal inquiry into the circum• stances, and examine such persons as should be brought before him, or could gile any account of this horrid transaction." ' Conosna's lmkorter.—FAvar. EFTFCTS FROM FIRE• WORK&—Mr. Tidy, a respectable inhabitant ot South gate, Middlesex, met his death on the sth of No vember in a very unespected and lamentable Ulan• ner, owing to the discharge of some squibs and crac kers, which occa.iuned an Inquest to be held ou Fri. day last. From the statement of the witnesses, it appeared that Mr. Tidy had been out with his chaise, and had reached Southgate.on his return; that while walking by the s'de of his chaise, the discharge of some squills by a number of children who were playing with them on the green by the road.side facing the post-Afice, frightened Mrs Tidy's horse, which suddenly tuned round, and went off at fall gallop; and whether the carriage or the horse struck the deceased, could not be ascertained ; but be was, shortly afterwards discovered by the roaJ-aide in a state of insensibility. Being conveyed home, he was attended immediately by Mr. Hammond, surgeon, who found him insensible and labouring for breath : be died in about half an hour. Mr. Hammond ap prehended his-death was occasioned by some sudden blow upon the aorta, which produced spasms and the rupture of some large artery ititernaliy. The pupil the eye was greatly dilated. The deceased was 42 years of age, and has kit a widow and five chil. dm. The Coroner, in substance, observed, that the letting off squibs and crackers in the vicinity of a public road was highly dangerous, cnd being in vio lation of the public tranquil ty, oas illegal, and when such a breach of law, after due caution; termi. nated fern, to an individual, he thought it consti tuted a criminal offence. The offender here cannot be identilied, and if he could, there might be diffi culty in imputing a charge cf criminality to a child, unaware of the volsequeni!es, and who might con ceive himself trjoyirg a co:rimon and innocent diver sion. This nits:lnch( ly the:ef:•re. pressed with the greatest weight upon the parochial authorities, who ought to have prevented such practices in their disttict, and he hoped this fatal event would operate as a warning and caution to them ; for in the recur. rence of a similar event, whatever might be the ef fects as to others, they wuuld subject themselves to a prosecution for gross, it nut criminal, negligence. Verdict—Accidental Death. LAMENTABLA ACCIOENT.CAUTION TO EQUTS-• TRlANS.—Another loquest was held yesterday after noon, at the Committee Room. Middlesex Hospital, on the body of Charles Bainbtidge, a boy about 12 years of age, who was killed on Sunday morning last, 13y falling from a horse. Thomas Bainbridge, bil liard marker to Mr. Hardaway, the proprietor et the billiard rooms, Great Windmill-street, Haymarket, being swam said, that on Stioday morning last his master sent him with a horse to give him an airing in the Regcnt's ; on his way he met his brother (the deceased) going to church ; I e asked him to I take a ride instead, and they wei.t together into the Long Fields, Tavistock•square, and each rods the horse alternately. There was a fight in the field be• tween two young men, and he left his brother riJiag, while he wept to see it. After several rounds there was a shaming made by the mob, which formed the ring. He heard the deceased call to some person to stop the horse ; he turned to lus•it, and saw the horse in lull gallop : the deceased fell off the saddle on one side the horse, his foot stuck an the stirrup, and his head fell on the ground. The horse ccntintred lopping, and the deceased was trailed along the ground, with his head beating ag.tins.t the stones, front the Long Fields to Russell-square. the distance of halt a mile. His loot came out of the st.rrup(in Rus sell-square, but the horse follupped out' a cuusiderable distance further. The deceased was apparently dead when taken up from the ground. Mr. Wyatt, house surgeon of Middlesex Hospital, stated, that the de ceased was brought ta the ht.spital on Sunday ; he was quits dead, he was covered with lacerations, concussions, and fractures; his brain was badly in. jured, and that alone was sufficient is have caused his death. The Jury were in consultation from six o'clock till near nine; four of thew were of opinion that the Jury ought to be adjourned, and the owner of he horse brought forward, and the horse forfeited. The other eight Jurymen thought it was unnecessary to adjourn. Verdict—Accidental Death. Monday, a man, named Philip Lynch, an Irish man, between forty sold fifty years of age, wbe has been for many years a labourer in the West India . Docks, died from a compound fracture he received in his right leg by the falling of a piece of tip Mer. The deceased had sawed in the Company's service Aso% which are in the free per cent. stock: Corros.—The sale at the East India House on Fri. day consisted of 1660 bats Surat Cotton, subject to the duty of Id. per pound, if taken for home consump. tion ; only about 200 bales were sold • the remain der being taken in at high prices by die proprietors, who would submit to no depression to facilitate sales. The particulars are-06 bales, fey superior clean and bright, 19d. to 190.-44 sold ; 50 rather infe sior,l7o.vo 18d.-27 bold ; 281 very good current quality, 160. to 1711 872 fair average 15d . to 16d. —BO sold ; 534 interior, 14f d. to 15id.-40 sold ; damaged, 1411. to 16%d. The purchabes of Cotton by private contract since our last are-450 Boweds 211 d and about 100 Suri nams 2s. a few sold at 2s. 21. COTTON WOOL.—lmports of Cotton Wool dating the present year, up to October last : London. 12,969 bags; Liverpool, 3146; Glasgow, 4935; Total, 51050 bags.—There were Imported at the sane places in 1816, 20,506 bags ; abewing an Increase this year of 30,511 bags. _ . SUGAR.—Tbe depression in the prices of Musco vades continued during all last week ; the prices were from Is. to 2.5. per cwt. lower. The demand for Muscovades this forenoon 'conti nues limited. The pricts cannot he stated at any va riation once last week. The deliveries from the ware house continue inconsiderable ; the stock, in conse queue, increasing. The refined market was heavy last week, bin as the supply at market was horned, and the refiners nut busily at work, tie holders showed some firmness, more especially as the prices have now declined to moderate rates ; the purchases made for Ireland and for the home consumption of the country were, how. ever, at prices a shade lower. Molast,s were in li mited request. There was no business cfrivcted in Fe reigii nr East India Sugars. Ci afar.—The demand fur Coffee, by private con. tract, in the early part of last week was considerable, but towards the close the request became very limi ted; no alteration in the prices could be stated. A considerable parcel of St. Domingo was reported to be sold at 935. The stock of C , flee in London is very limited, considerably below the quantity of pre ceding years, and as a great proportion is held on speculation, considerable interest is excited as to the probable prices at which it may be expected the ship ping season next spring will commence. The letters yesterday from Holland, the Harm Towns, &c. men tion very reduced stocks, but no improvement in the prices, which are still below the currency of London; ilie direct arrivals on the Continent from Surinam, from Java, Brazils, from Cuba, &c. tend more to keep the prices low, from arriving week slier week, I - than even the quantity imported. t r us t s Par.salass.—There is still a scarcity of new' Beef; the few parceti at market meet a.ready sale ; very little India Beef of prime quality has yet arrived. Pork continues in extensive request. Bacon is with out variation. The prices of Butter have declined considerably. Tosacca.—Tile demand foe Tobacco is conside rably increasi; , g t the trade have purchased about SOO lib& Stems for home consumption ; the quantity of that description is rather limited ; the sales are chielly 9 aid 1-od. ltict.—There continues a very considerable re quest, partictslatly for exportation. Three thousang N.igs Patna, of fair quality, newly arrived, have been s••Id at `2.is. 6.1. and 29.. 'flie imports from the East Indies are coosidera hie, but from the extensive request it is probable the whole will meet a ready sale. Oit.s.—The extensive speculators in Oil continue firm, and u iil submit to no prices below what they have fixed upon s they have made no further put. chases, and as several parcels have appeared at mar. ket, and effers received from ports in Scotland, stating several inconsiderable supplies are ready for shipment it £53 or £54 could be obtained, the prices have de clined, and the market may be stated very heavy at the depression. The quantity of Sperm Oil at mar ket is so inconsiderable, that the prices are greatly higher. Some Seal Oil has been received ; for a mixed parcel of pale and brown, mostly of the latter, £6O has been realized. Rape and Linseed Oils are ael to 42 per tun lower. NAVAL Sroam.--There are considerable parcels of 1 Rough Turpentine now offering ; the prices asked by the holders are lower, but the depresiion does not facilitate sales 1 it is stated, one or two parcels have been sent from the Liverpool market. Spirits are also lower. Tar may alsobe stated at a mall de- 1 cline- In Rosin and Pitch there is no variation. 'I Rim, BRANDY, AND HOLLAND(. —We have stated for some time past that the vintage in the South of France this season was nearly destroyed ; that the whole produce will not exceed '2 u 0 to 5000 pun cheons of Brandy,' the usual produce being nearly 40,0( 0; taking the highest calculation, the stock of Brandy in both countries, old and new, dues not ex ceed five thousand casks ; the prices, in consequence, have advanced greatly ; three months ago, Cogniac 7s. has from week to week been advancing ; yester day 12s. 6d. per gallon was realized. and as the stock is so extremely limited, and in few hands. it is impos sible to calculate to what the prices may advance. SALTPITas.—The sale took place this forenoon at she India House ; the whole sold freely at 425. 6J. and 455. Sncss..—The Pepper sale till; forenoon at the In dia House has been entirely wit! drawn ; the pur- 4 chasers not offering above 9d. the taxed price or the Company. TALLOW, Hiatt., AND Flex.—The extensive de stand for Tallow, chiefly on speculation, has sub sided ; the prices are lower ; the market very heavy at the decline. Hemp is little varied.
