'l i re sergea n t held in his hand a pike taken from toe Radicals; and Charlesworth, it appears, had that same morning received a visit from a party of them, who had broken open Isis house, which rendered him familiar is ith the weapon they carried.

Some of the by-startlers, attempted to drag Charlesworth away, and to carry Into him a blacksmith's shop close adjoiniug; but, in the act of doing so, the sergeant made a tlit tot at lion, aunt wounded him in the side. Part of thus story is from the lips of Charlesworth himself, who could hot tell the whole, because he was insensible alter the fir-t blow seas struck. The rest is confirmed . by eye-w.tnes,es, which, as the affair occurred in the inidole of the towel of Overton, were sufficiently tionterous to IcAtv Rule doubt of the mato I.et•. The wound Chart snorth received was so severe es lor some time to be considered dangerous, but lie is now recovering.

De.drudive Firc.—An alarming fire broke out at Iklansel Cottage, the residence of Capt. I3agot, near Bagsln, on Monday afternoon. It was an ancient maiden building, and was reduced to a heap of ruins in less than an hour. The coach-house and stabling and two hay ricks were also destroyed, and two cottages were partially burnt. The tire was first discovered in a drying-room over the kitchen, and the conjecture is, that it anise from a beam in the kitchen chimney. The hiss is heavy but providen tially no lives were lost. The premises were insured. Saturday evening, about hair' past eight o'clock, as the Chatham coach was driving through the Bo rough, a woman, named Morgan, attempted to cross oppcsite St. Thotnas's-street, the leaders unfortu nately knocked her down, and the coach passing over her body, killed her on the spot.

" ♦ Tenn. teU. "J. G. Secretary." Lord Elelio's Edinburgh troop of hussars, and twenty of the Glasgow troop, with a piece of flying artillery set off at 11 o'clock on Thursday right thr Kilmarnock ; this detatehment proceeding to Kil marnock, Galston, and Newmilis, apprehended 16 radicals, who were sent off prisoners to Ayr, under the escort of the Edinburgh troop. The inhabit ants of the d;lfcrent towns slimed no disposition to resist the military. We understand among the persons apprehended for treasonable practices, in Glasgow and the neigh bourhood, are several persons above the common ranks of life; and some, w 'lotion' their employments. might have been expected to have acted differently ; a clerk in a public office, and a stajeant in a res pectable corps, are said to be of the number, and wine, who, by industry, have raised themselves to a respectable situation in life.. By the annual account of the number of broad cloths milled at the several mills in the West Biding of York, it appears that there has berm a decrease since the last year of 61,061 pieces of broods, and of :20,614 of narrows—in yards, a deficiency of 2,672,102. The greatest number of broad pieces milled was in 1813, being then 269,890 ; and there W 3:: a deficiency from ihat quaotitf in the six following years of 106,51:2, pieces At Carnarvon Sessions, an action was brought for a breach of promise of marriage, Hughes v. Rowland. The plaintiff is the daughter of a respectable farmer, and the defendant also a iitrui•sr, reshling in Llvn, in the same county. The damages were laid at 3001. The ca , e was clearly proves('; and the Jury, after a short consultation, fimad a verdict fir the plaintiff—Damages 51. At the late Cornwall sessions, in the case of Wm. Hodge, for publicly exposing his wife fitr sale at Redruth, and William Andrew, fl,r purchasing her, the husband did not appear, and his recogniaances were forfeited. The woman, who appeared as a witness, stated, that her husband had so frequently ill treated her, and expressed his determination of sellin her, that she was induced to submit to the exposure to get rid of him. She, however, admitted that she had lived with the defendant, her purchaser, i-litre she was publicly sold to him,—lt is Laval that the puniAnnent inflicted in this case, and the dsteranuation of the Magistrates to visit every such °flume ut future with the severity of the law, will pat a stop to a practice which has latterly oceurred in different parts of the country. Wedaesday afternoon a number of persons col hsicti upon Beacon Hill, near Halifiex, with a flag :tai music ; they met again about nine o'clock, in the stone place.

His wife is a very respec table woman, and keeps a chandler's shop three doors from the residence of the late Mr. Parker. They have six children, the eldest of whom is a bay, about fifteen years of age, who was taken into ell:;. tody tiller the apprehension of his father at Ports. mouth. This so afflicted his mother, that she attempted to hang herself' but was fortunately saved, and the lad's innocence of any knowledge of the murder was su evident, that he was immediately discharged, and a gentleman in the neighliourhood ha.s since taken the lad into his service. Nesbet, since his committal, appears to be in good health, and not dejected by his situation. His appetite is good, and he expresses himself satisliM with the treatment he receives.

Flov'ging the Ribboumesi.—On Tuesday last, the six deluded men, who were convicted at the last Longthrd Assizes, arrived at Ballymena, 'tinder an escort of a part of the .1.3 d regiment, and the Stall of the Antrim Militia. They were met in town by the Rasharkin and Ahoghill corps of Yeomanry; who, together with the military composing the escort, thrilled a circle round a platfiirm, which had been erected on the Fair Hill for the occits:on.
