• • RIOTING. When the person+ who assembled in Spa-fields began to disperse, a nioli of boys collected together, and put a leaf at the top of a stick, and proceeded towards the west end of the town- They passed up the Strand, and stopped at a baker's near Norfolk-street,• but did not qttenipt any thing there; they look some bread Irons the shop of Mr. Alexander, the baker, near Exeter 'Change, and also *owe fish from the shop of Mr. Orantete, the fishmonger, No. 41, Strand; they then went tip St. Martin's-lace, w her e they attacked the premises of Mr. Morrison, a baker, in King street, St. Giles's; they broke the windows of Mr. Brooks bank, baker, at the cornet, and took wine bread away with them; the mob went from thence to Cranbourne.street, they broke the window of a baker he Cranbotirne.street as they were taking down the shutters, but when they fouud that cheap bread was written upon a paper, they went away with out doing any further damage, and went again towards King steret, St. Giles's, and were proceeding to further excess at a baker's shop, when the Bow-street officers and patrole Caine, up, and a general attack took place. The officers se emed five of the ringleaders, who had flambeaus and bread, but mho mob reserved them, and in so doing, beat Ashleby, one of the patrols', in a dreadful manner. Several of the officers were Inn t. The mob then went into two parties, one Sas t went toward Drury-lane, and the other remained about t. Giles's. The police in a very few minutes dispersed those who remained in St. Giles's, and went into Drury-lane after the other party, which had decreased very much, and continued to do so at the approach of the police, and in the spare of a quarter of an hour the whole had disappeared with oat any more damage than a few broken whiskies. The mob as they passed through Newport-market, cleared several butchers stalls of their meat. %Vs believe this is the whole of the outrages which have been committed. Nine o'clock all was quiet. At Lord Sidmout Ws office were assembled, on Friday, Lord Bathurst, Lord Liverpool, Mr. Wellesley Pole, Mr. Vanssittart. and Mr. C. Lone. Frequent communications were made from this office to the Nines- Regent. Sir W. Congreve, who was in attendance upon his Royal iiihgness, went to Lord Sid month's, when a polite officer had at rived, who reported the whole proceedings of the popular meeting, which he stated to be perfeetly peaceable as late as four o'clock. Early in the atoning, several troops of dragoons arrived in town from HOWIIAIOW and Bamford, and the Oxford Blues from Wind sor. Every magistrate was at his post throughout the whole of the day, and during great part of Friday night, the Bow- Street patrole, in considerable strength, were in readiness for any call. The Lord Mayor had also all the city officers and constables in readiness for service. Two hundred of the foot guards remained upon piquet duty all Saturday night. Lord Castlereagh's house in St. fames's-square, was attacked by a mob on Friday evening, and 12 squares of glass were broken : the mob had pre. ionsly attempted to tear tip the iron railing lu Leicester-square to arm themselves, but had failed. • _ _ A Winer from Bedfordshire, named Luton, was hustled by a gang.cd:piclipoekets, between Baguigge-wells and the turnpike -gate, on Friday, during the contusion in Spa-fields, acid robbed of his pocket book, containing more than 1001. in bank notes, most of which were issues from provincial bankt, the numbers of whirls are fortnnately known. The robbers, about eight in number, had the audacity to defy re sistance, and his ants were lifted up to prevent self-protec tion. He had an opportunity of identifying the whole of them, and lie gave information to one.of the police magistrates on the spot. Officers went with him in pursuit of the thieves, but they had decamped. Another audacious robbery was committed about the same time, in the fields, by a similar gang, who stole a swansdown tippet and a valuable shawl from the back of a lady in the name of Latin, of Pentonville, who had hold of her husband's ar.n at the time. The theft was committed by a boy, sur rounded by men accomplices. BOW-STREET. We have noticed the mob which on Friday evening paraded Ow west end of the town with lighted torches, with loaves of bread on the top of poles, breaking the windows of a number of shops, particularly bakers'. About seven o'clock a mob, anionniing to between 200 and 300 persons, attacked the shop of Mr. Morrison, a baker, the corner of Green-street and Castle-street. Leicester-square. Awing man was secured opposite to Mr. Morrison's house in Green•street. After being locked np in St. Martin's watch-house till the mob had dispersed, he was brought to the office, and underwent an examination; he had much the ap pearance of basing been so sea ; he said his name was John Severn ; he was of no trade , _ but was clerk to Mr. Hill, a dyer, in Great Pulteney-street, Golden-square. On searching the prisoner, were found two small pieces of mortar, resembling that found on the counter of Mr. Morri son's shop. He accounted for having the two pieces of hard mortar in this pocket. by saying it was used in dyeing. He applied to be admitted to bail; but the Magistrates not considering it a bailable offence, he was committed for fur ther examination. On Saturday night John Joyce underwent an examination at Boil-street, having been apprehended by Wilson and Maidment, on Friday evening, among the rioters, wbo plun dered the shop of Mr. Webb, baker, at 10, Great St. Andrew street, Seven Dials, of several quartern and half quartern loaves. The bread was taken under siii eat that they would have their lives or all the bread in the shop. The officers said, the prisoner was a notorious character: in defence,• he said he did not take she bread ; he was only walking after the mob. Fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUOiI-STREET. On Saturday several persons were charged with riotous and diseEderly conduct on Friday night in Oeury-lane. Among others was a boy named Cole, whose father keeps an eating-home in Russell-court. M.

Coachey having demanded five pounds for the scratches his vehicle had siiiteitied from the imcontrollable state of the Christian ponies, who refused being hantessed! Mr. H. compromised the demand for two pounds. Front the box of the chariot in which Mr. Hunt came to the meeting, a tri-coloured flag (green, white, and red) was dis played, which bore these inscriptions ;—" Bread to feed the hungry"—" Truth to crush the Oppressors"—" Justice to punish crimes." 'flue flag Mr. Hunt frequently waived from the window ofthe public-home from which lie /yoke.

In the case of Towle, the twelve Judges have unanimously decided, that the conviction of the prisoner is legal, and his execution, it is supposed, will not be long delayed. A horrid murder was lately committed at St. Mary Church, Devonshire. R. Finset' ' after murdering his wife by stabbing her in the body, attacked his aged father (nearly 80), in the saute manner, and, nu pposiu g lie had arcontplished his purpose, left him weltering in his blood. With his hands reeking in the blood of bis wife and father, the murderer attempted to complete his atrocity by said& ; to effect which he stabbed himself ill three different parts of his body, but not mortally. The old man is likely to recover. DEATH or . A POACHER.—Om the evening of Saturday seamight, about 8 or 9 o'clock, a body of poachers, 7 in mini. iter, assembled by mutual agreement the oil estate of the Hon. John Deton, at Slierbone, Gloucestershire, for the purpose of taking hares and other game. With the assistance of two dogs, anti sonic nets and snares which they brought with them, they succeeded its catching 9 hares, and were carrying them away, when they were discovered by the gamekeeper, and t others who were engaged with him patroling the different covers, in order to protect the game from nightly depredators. Immediately on perceiving the poachers, the gamekeeper sniumoued them in a civil and peaceable man ner to give up their names, the dogs, implements, sic. they had with them, and the game they load taken ; at the same time assuring ;hem that his party had fire arms (which were produced for the purpose of convincing and alarming Mein) and representing to them the folly of resistance, as, in the event of an affray, they must inevitably be overpowered by superior numbers, even without tire arms, which they were determined not to resort to, unless compelled in self-defence. Notwithstanding this remonstrance of the keeper, the men unanimously refused to give up on any terms, declaring that if they were followed, they would give them a " brush " and would repel force by force. The poachers then directly took off their great coats, threw them down with the game, ate. behind them, and approached the keepers in an attic:ide of attack. 'A smart contest instantly ensued, both parties using only the sticks or bludgeons they carried ; and such was the confusion during the battle, that some of the keepers were occasionally struck by their own comrades in mistake for their opponents. After they had fought this manner about 8 or 10 minutes, one of' the poachers, named Robert Simmons, rescued a s iolent blow upon his left temple, which felled him to the ground, where he lay, crying out murder, and asking for mercy. The keepers Immediately very humanely desired that all violence might cease on both sides, upon which three of the poachers took to flight and es caped, and the remaining three, with Simmons, were se ctored by the keepers. Simmons, by the assistance of the other men, walked to the keeper's house, where he was placed in a chair; but he semis alter died. His death was no doubt caused by the pressure of blood upon the brain, occa sioned by the rupture of a vessel from the blow he had rem ived. The poachers who had been taken were committed to North leach prison. The inquest upon the body of Siliceous was taken on Monday, before W. Ts igge, gent. Coroner ; and the above account is extracted frino tier eviiknee given npon that occa sion. 'fbe poachers were all armed with bludgeons, except the deceased, won had pros bled himself with the thick part of a flail, made of firm knotted crab-tree, and pointed teL the extremity. in order to thrust with, if occasion required. The deceased was an athletic musculer man, very active, and about 28 years of age. He resided at poste, Oxfordshire, and has left a wife, bat no child. 'The three prisoners were heard in evidence, and all concurred in stating that the keepers were in no way blameable, and attribated their dis aster to their own indiscretion and imprudence. Several of the keeper's party were so much beat as to be now confined to their beds. The two parties are said to be total strangers to each ether, consequently no malice iiropense could have existed between them ; and as it appeared to the jury, alter a most minute and deliberate investigation, that the coninsion Miring the affray was so great, that the deceased was as like ly to be struck by someone of hisown party as be the keeper's, they returned a verdict of—Manslaughter against wine per son or persons unknown. MOAT DOGRACETUL Earosuac—Brock, who eonnuitted Iltvicide in St. James's watch-hotter, was buried at the end of Bridle lane, at two o'clock on Tnesihry. The body was de posited about two feet from the surface of the ground, and during Tuesday there was meek murmuring amongst the in habitauts at the body being committed to the earth leclore their doors, and at might the body was taken up by some per sons and left in the street. As 'might have been expected, the place was a scene of riot and confusion, and the body was dragged about the streets in the most disgraceful man ner, to the amusement ofetaine, and to the disgust of others. Information was given at Marlborough-street of the hortid circumstance, and, 'with the assistance of parish officers, the body was conveyed to the work house, and Weduesday it was wain privately committed .o the earth.
