DANGFROUS MODE OF CORRECTION —Patrick Saul, a stout Hibernian, was charged with throwing a lad named Emmett into a well, with intent to drown him. Robert Emmett, the proventor, deposed, that he was acquainted with the prisoner, and that they both worked under the same master, a gardener, at Walham-green. On Wednesday afternoon, as he was crossing one of his master's fields, he met the prisoner, who asked hint to fetch half a pint of beer. He consented, and turned about to execute his errand, when the prisoner seized him round the waist, and carrying him to the month of an adjar ent well, he plunged him in head foremost. The well had !even feet of water in it, and it was with the utmost difficulty that he saved his life by holding fast by the sides and climbing up until he reached the top. Patrick, in his defence, said the complainant and other boys were constantly plaguing him because he was the only Irishman among them, and he could get no peace of his life. The boy Emmett was particularly active, and was calling out " Arrah, Pat! which way does the bull run )" &c. where% et- he met him. He had borne this until the patience of mortal man could stand it no longer, and so he just took him gently by the middle and carried him to the well to give him a small taste of a ducking : " and when I got hint to the prink, your Honour," continued Patrick, " he made a sudden spring and sprouted clean tan of Inv arm into the water, and the d—l a hit could 1 held him at all." Minshull.—Poit the least you could do was to helit him out, Patrick. Patrick.—God bless your Honor, and so I would; but I only just stepp.'d hack a yard or' two, to keep out of the splash that he made, and the urchin was out upon dry land in the twinkling of a bed-post I The d—l a help he wanted, depend upon it. The patrol who apprehended the prisoner said, that when he asked him why he adopted such a strange mode of punishment, his answer w ts, " Why, you see, I did not like to take the law into my own hands and beat hint with a stick, and so I just soused hint into the well by way of a cooler." The Magistrate observed, that he would recommend the prisoner to try a different method another time. If the boy had been drowned, he would have stood in a very dangerous situation. Patrick was ordered to find good hail for the assault. Ezekiel Lovell, his two sons, Arthur and John, and Mansfield Lee, four of a gang of the tribe called Gipsies, who have long infested Tottenham, were brought up anti remanded on a charge of stealing a quantity of hay from Mr. Rhodes, a farmer there. The apprehension of these men has had the effect of breaking up a regular encamp ment of this description of marauders. QUEEN SQUARE. A Ilackncy C'oachmanageinst an Aliorney.—The former summoned the latter for not paying, hint ins full fare to the place of destination, and back to the hest coachst and on the stones. The attiorney took the coach from the stand at Moorgate to Winesor-terrace, City-road, and tendered Is. in payment of the hire; this was refused, and 2s. de manded for the (are, and hack fare to the stones —The a torney offered IL 6.1., but the coachman would not tike less than 2s. and summoned him for that amount, when the Niattistrate (Mr. White) decided that it was a full fare to Windsor -terrace, and a full fire back to the first coach SLIld on the stones, awl consequently the c )achnuati was entitled to two shillings with the costs o suit, which no doubt the attorney would hate laxcil by the clerk of court. UNION lIALL. EX I RAOli In NARY Tmavas.—Otaliorsclly last John Plice and 't% 111 win Grain, two young men M very decent appearance, were brought before C. Chamber', El. the sitting Magistrate, charged with having broken into anti robbed the house of Susannah Kahl, of No ($4, South ampton.street, Camberwell. Mrs. Kahl slated, that she and her daughter went out at eleven o'clock tits Tuesday mor g, having previously fastened the house. She had ea) servant and intended returning at an early hour in the evening. Upon their return about seven o'clock in the evening, Mrs: was struck with astonishment at seeing a light appearing and disappearing at the windows of her house ; and as she had never authorized ally person to take care of it under such circumstances, she immediately imagUnd the worst that could happen; but instead of making U se that might alarm the thieves, as most other females would have clone, she quietly went to some of her neigh boars and communicated ,her suspicions, and promptly received their assistance. They could see no • marks of violence on the doors or window shutters, nor could they hear I oices or footsteps in the home. Mrs. Kalsl's 1. irnds nitwit ing to disturb what was going forward within, o the prejudice of justice, procured a ladder, and quietly placed it at the batik pit of the !nose, reaching the THE NATIONAL REGISTER window of the first floor, where several of them entered without making the least noise, and upon walking down stairs, and opening the front parlour door, saw to their great surprise the two prisoners playing a game of back gammon. They were sitting together on a sofa, and had a backgammon table between them. One of them in instantly started tip and said, " NVe'll make no resist ance." They accordingly submitted quietly. On ex atnination it was found that the house had been Tans-ticked from top to bottom, and some plate that had been tied up in a small bag was found on the table. In the hag were several spoons, which Mrs. Kahl had left locked up in a cupboard. In different parts of the house were found an extensit e assortment of phosphorus and snatches. One of the keys which lay out the table opened the ball door, joist as if it had been made fur it, from which it was presumed that the thieves had entered at that door. Several of Mrs. Kahl's neighbours who had come for ward to her assistance confirmed the most mportatit parts of her statement. _ _ Tile Magistrate complimented Mrs. Kahl very highly WI the prittlettt in:11111er in Which she had ileLed (or ap prehtliding the prisoners. The y were both fully com mitted for trial. Cat IM.

Fula mates then bore hint upon their shoulders, another being deputed to precede and ring a hell, an nouncing "the charge and verdict," which was colll - with great spirit and significance, in octosyllable verse. As this brilliant procession passed through the Strand, numbers collected, whose bIIZZ3S attracted poses: of woman; and " the gay Lothario" (apprehensive they might present him " with fat ours" he was unambitious of wearing) made a desperate effort to extricate himself, which the cords on his aucles prevented, and he was borne to the " house where the lady of rank" resided, (Rase-street, Long-acre.) Here the sentence WAS rei terated amidst applauding u les, and a similar ordeal observed 011 his return to the whar, with accu mulating throngs, whose " eyes were made to gaze," and " never cease to wonder."

Daring nab ry.—On Thursday night, about eleven o'clock, as Al.. J. Ditley was walking along ChirweH street, ssith a lady. on nit way home to St. John-sweet, they were tivacked by three boys, one of whom threw some snuff . into the eyes of NIT:. ll:sley, which blinded him fur a few moments; the youngest delinquent .then embraced this opportunity, and snatching a valuable 14 ,4 neck-chain from the lady's neck, the gang ran off up Whitecross Street, and escaped through the different al leys with which tile sweet abounds. Phis is a new mc• t al of facilitating plunder, and is the second instance of the kind that has been perpetrated near the same spot, and by the 4111 C gang, within the last few nights. -- 327 On Friday evening last (sth instant), about ten o'clock, as two young men were walking down the end of the East Pier, at Ramsgate, they observed a bundle wrapped up lying behind one of the stone poses; they took it up and unpacked it, when the contents were found to be a Wye instinct, Bath cloak, and a shawl, and from their not being wet with the dew they could not in all probability hare been there long. The extraordinary rircumatanco we immediately made known, but nothing transpired that even. big; the clothes were budged in the bends of Lieutenant Wood, the harbour master. On the following day public natters were potted, stating that a lady had left her home that evening about a quarter before ten o'clock, and had not since been heard of. The dress was carried to the lady's late residence, and it being recognized by her husband, there was too great reason to fear the unfortunate lady had therm° herself into the sea in a state of despondency. Too much credit cannot he given to Lieutenant Woodward for hil truly laudable zeal and unremitting attention in sending the boats and crews under his command, to search fur the body, but their attempts were fruitless, and nothing win ascertained it-spectate it, till about five o'clock in the mating of Monday the Bth, inst. when the body of the above lady was washed ashore nil the b fillip% sands, and the intelligence being coui. municated to the proper tom ter, it was ascertained that the gentleman had left Rainsgete on the same morning in search id* Oct IVednesrloy, :11r.

His first impression was, that the driver of the cart had gone to obtain as sistance, but hearing nothing of him lie became alarmed, and called at a house cm the road to beg that they would accompany him to the ;dice where he had seen the cart. With this request they readily complied, and on removing the packages, they beheld with horror Wood and his niece lying stretched upon the road, and both of them quite dead! It was tile failing of this unfortunate matt to give way to excessive drinking, and he was doubtless the victim of his own iiitemperance. Four years ago, a Cart which he was driving on the same road was over turned, and a young woman, who hail then the inisfor tutie to be in his service, was thrown out and killed on the :lam Thu fatal catastrophe had made hat nervous, but not temperate; aod it was to allay his fears, rather than to assist him in his business, that his niece accoin pained Min on his last fatal journey.

RARE INTEGRITY —Alvin six years ago a tradesman residing in Leeds fell into decay, and finditig his embar rassments insurmountable, he left the town considerably in debt. kilns creditors soon began to consider their claims desperate, and most of them had long ago placed the ominous word had opposite the entry in their I:dgers. But on Alotiday the Ist M.o. each of then received a circular, requesting that they would Inca the debtor and ' his wile on the arrival of the RI pool coach at the White Horse inn, Leeds, and bring with them their accounts.
