Fneent-Banagtee.—lfis said that in Nottingbata and the Vicinity, before any frames are broken, one of tie Committee Imictites waits on the owner of the machinery, ordering bits to desist from using it ; and in ease of a refusal, the ma eafacturer is threatened with the destruction of his property, a threat which Seldom or never falls to be carried into effect. What enlist appear estraordiliary, these Conrnittermien are suffered quietly to depart, anti the landlords liarleunring meetings of the sort are permitted to retain their licenses. Committee, in order to carry on their lawless practices, lay every workman in the trade under contribution ; and it is worthy of notice, that a few days ago, by a strange colii cidenee, the collector for the Committee, and the collector of taxes, met at the same moment at a workmate's license to hr paid. The man had only means of satisfying one of them ; therefore, without hesitation, he discharged the demands of the Committeeman, and told the collector of the taxes he might call again at a more convenient opportunity. Mr. Whiter, who had the last two frames broken, was first waited upon by a Committee-man, to apprize him of the conmi quencen, provided he persisted in making the goods he had in hand. Mr. Winter resolutely refused to obey, and the .tesult was that which was predicted. - - - ANOTIISK Outhr.—During this and the last week the ad mirers of the sapernatural, and lovers of the terrific, have bad a grand opportanity of indulging their favourite taste in hearing and trembling at the wonderful stories of a soldier in our garrison, who affirms that, fur 3 weeks, whenever on slaty betwixt the hours of • and eleven in the evening, he has Leen favoured with the company of some airy nothing, which generally assumes the form of a WQ111:111 in various at titudes, but once amused hint uuder the form of two men with glittering swords in the act of savage eumbat, which sided its the decapitation of one of them. Sometimes, he says,he has heard it speak in us faint low voice, which lie affirms he beard amidst a crowd of people, many of whom were nearer the place whence the sound came than himself, but did not hear it. He says, that the phantom a:ways dis appeared in one particular spot, cud that he has several Ware run it throagh with his bayonet, which of course re quired no great virile ettOrt, nor left any stain upon the murderous steel. One night. the sergeant of his company sifter a considerable effort was favoured with a sight, holding fast by the man's left hand, and looking over his right shout- • der; but his corporal, a nnan either of less faith or fear, whilst traversing the ground, the man continually exclaimiug, 0 ' See theta it is, don't you see it," returned to his lodgings ungratified. We have been at the trouble of interrogating the man himself, who expresses no alarm at the recollection of his companion, nor reluctantly at meeting with it again, though lie confesses that on the first interview he did Bog u s away. We have also seen the ground on which this noc turnal wanderer takes its walks, indulged milli lves in a hearty laugh at the sight of a hole which has been deg in it, but, as might be eapected, all in vain. Like all other ghosts, this is very capricious, mud, we may say, unpulite, for It invariably refeses to come when called lie- by its runner s/Ms friends from town, who have, night by night, repaired to the scene of action, in hopes of an interview. We hardly treed to say, that we believe the apparition altogether a de lusion; but whether to think it a phantom of the mind, a trick, a phantasmagoria, we hardly know; it lIRS features of all three. The place is peculiarly suited for the opt-rations of a magic lautern. The peculiar song froid of the mail is most extraordinary. His fainting away at first, his repeated subsequent visions, and no other person being able to see what lie sees, lead to the suspicion that he is under some mental hallucination.—hull Paper. ArreserT Ti) ROB AND IVIURDEIt.-011 Tuesday night, be tween nine and 10 o'clock, the following desperate occurrence took place on the premises of Mr. tat Hoop, of York-place, bile-end-road --The family retired to test at an early hour. Soon after nine, however, they a: I the whole neighbourhood were diesturbesi by a noise which seemed to proceed from a passage between the flower and cabbage gardens, where vans, Mr. La Hoop's gardner, was accustomed to lay up his adeosils. 'The illness of the master of the house prevented bins ascertaining the cause of the disturbance; but his tiismils proceeded to the spot, and saw Evans lying on the ground without motion or sense. His head was bleeitiug profusely. and three of his ribs were found to have been broken. A spade, the weaponwith which the i violence was committed, lay on the ground close to him : and the passage between the gardens, which is long and narrow, bore the appearance of being the accuse of a violent struggle. Upon a wooden pa ling, which intervened between the gardens, were the marks of feet; and in a small building appropriated to the gar dener's implements, &c. was tumid his desk broken °torn, from wldeh his papers and tools seemed to have been thrown upon the ground. In a few hours the gardner was able to election the following circumstances :—He had just returned from the cabbage garden, and was in the set of fastening the door, when he saw a bundle of plants lying in the passage, which he knew be had not placed there himself. He was confirmed in Lis suspicion that something wan wrong, upon hearing the breath of sonic concealed person, who appeared to be much agitated. He pushed at the door of the tool. house, but met with resistance. He called upon the per son within to come forward ; lint the door still was closed. " Then." said be, " I'll bring you forward," and stooped down to look for some means of attack or defence. At that mo ment a man burst from the tool-house, and, swearing he would 1,;-at his brains oat, wade a blow at him with a spade. The blow broke his ribs, but still he struggled with the ruffian, who again struck him with the spade. The gardener fell backwards, but providentially staggered against a door at the aide of the garden, which tiew open and presented to the view of his assailant two or three lonises, which appeared to be inhabited. The fear of detection prevented hint from vatting the threat which he made at every blow he struck snto exeention. Insincdiately after the occurrence two or three men were seen by the neighbours running across the fields behind the gardens with great speed. Daestnaut ACCIDENT.—On Saturday afternoon a shock ing accident happened in the Haymarket. These were only two Minima which were to be pulled flown to form the new street left standing. Both adjoined the Opera House. The one nearest the ruins suddenly fell, abort a smarter past four o'clock, with a tremendous crash, carrying with it the party wall. 'lhe horse being very old, the dust which aerie from the ruinstilled the Scorer part of the Haymarket and Cock emir-street. smd entering the shops and homes, proved for some time very annoying to the inhabitants. Two penile men, who were walking on the foot-path, very narrowly CA- L:Ted beiag buried in the ruins. The house, which had been sitiocenpied some time, was formerly tenanted by a perfumer and hair-dresser, and the cellar by a basket-maker. A poor Aged woman. who get her living by grafting silk-stockings, hied been persoitu:ti to live in Bahl:else till it milted the work- ' THE NATIONAL REGISTER. 'lieu to co tttttt cure pulling it &nen. Shortly after the acci dent, it occurred to sonic of the neighbours, that the poor women was buried iu the ruins. T h is seggestinn being quickly circulated, the workmen at the new buildings has tened to the spot, and began to ilig their testy through the emus to the earloor, or room behind the shop, where they not I only found the uld woman, but two other women, and a girl I about five years of age, buried in the rubbish. Most provi- &fluidly, the wainscot of the room tinder which they were found, felling on a slant, and lodging on the opposite side of the room, they were preserved alive, but wounded and hntis tel, and in terrible alaren : they were all extricated, thongo not without been rescued so quickly they moat have been suffocated. No sooner was the old wetting) safe, thin' she became extremely anxious to recover her silk stoekialge. and some guinea pigs, I which, to her ;vent joy, the workmen likewise got out. At the time of the accident, it appeared that the eld woman was drinking tea with two female acquaintances; and the third sufferer, accompanied by the little gill, had come to inquire after some stockings which had been left to be grafted. CHILD STLALING.—The following circumstance should operate as a caution to servants having the care of children in the sheets :—The daughter of Mr. Wadkin, a gentleman residing at Walwurth„ was on Monday aftersoiou enticed away from the servant, who was walking with her and an ' infant in Kennington-lane; she was addressed by a re etteetable looking woman, about 40, who poet tided great fondness for the child in question, who is about four years old, said she nursed her when at the bread, and requested the servant would permit her to take her little darling into a shop and bny her some fruit. The girl imprudently a'sented to her proposition, and toe pretended name took the child into the shop, which itbe watched her opportunity of leaving, with her booty, unperceived. This she was better able to do, in consteptence of a strange man entering into conversation with the g irl. The poor little infant was timed about three hours after wandering abort Waleol-place, needy naked.— Information having been given to the. Police, a part of flue child's apparel was found by the Officer at a pawnbroker's in the neighbourhood, where it had been pledged for les. This eireetustairee, it is hoped, will lead to the detection of the offenders. Iwunicsers.—On Tuesday in inquisition was taken at the Trium phant Chariot, Grosvenor-place, on the body of Elizabeth Pember ton, to years of age, who died in consequence of setting fire to her clothes. G. Dewey. of Spring-street, Portman-square, deposed, that the deceased was on a visit at his house, on the edi inst. and was toasting some bread for her tea, when witness was alarmed by hear ing his daughter exclaim, " Betsey is on fire ?" he tried to extin guish the flames with his hands, anal then run for a blanket, but in the interim the deceased made her way into the street, where one of the neighbours put out the blaze by wrapping her in an apron; a surgeon was immediately sent for, who attended her until Saturday. when she was removed to St. George's Hospital, by order of Sur Everard Hume, where she died on Monday. Verdict, Accidental Death. Another Inquest was held at the same house, on the body of J. Walsh, servant to Mr. Hall, stable-keeper, in Pembroke-mews. J. Bullion. servant to Mr. Quinine. Deputy Usher of the Black lied, stated, that on Tuesday morning he was standing at hie master's stables, when he heard a groan, and crossed over to find the object On entering the stables he beheld the deceased stretched on the grornd ' • he unbuttoned his shirt collar and raised him up, when he groaned again. On further examination. an extensive bruise was di-covered near the temple. He was shortly after taken to the Hos pital, but died before his arrival there. Mr. Pepper, Foreman to die Stables, added, that the deceased was a very sober man, and was sub ject to a swinuning in the head. Under these cireumetancee the Jury returned a Verdict—Died by the Visitation of God. An inquisition was held et the London Hospital, on the body of P. Hansworth, late a sawyer in the ship yard of Sir H. Wigram, at Blackwell. who, while assisting to haul a piece of timber on a new saw-pit, the rope broke, when the deoeased in jumping out, his foot slipped, and he was caught between a spoke of the wheel and a post, by which he received a violent bruise on his chest. A medical Gen tleman stated, that fire of his ribs were broken, and his liver mate rially injured. He died on Monday night.—The Jury returned a Verdict, Accidental Death. An Inquisition was taken on Saturday sennight at the King's Head Tavern, James-street, up en the body of a niau about 511 years of age, whose death was caused by the wheels of the Weymouth Union Cieeit passing over his body on Tuesday last, at the end of Spring-gardens. The Jury took a view of the body, which lay at the Westminster Intirnuiry, and afuirwanls the fiillowing evidence was adduced —W. B. nercy, House Surgeon to the Westminster Infirmity y, said, that the deceased veis brought to the Hospital on on Tuesday, about five o'clock in the evening ; he was in a senseless state at the time. He divided the temporal artery, and took eight ounces of blood from him ; but it did not at all relieve hint : he had him undreseed. and put to bed, on purpose to examine hint more minutely; he tOund the back of his neck very mutts injured, his collar-boe brute through the middle, and through the protuberance of the bones pressing against the spine, the lower part it the body was in a state of eleianese; and so violent wag the contusion, that he was snip 'teed the deceased was not dead when brought to the Infirm ary, and the only way he accounted for it was, that the spine was only pressed by the holies of the neck, and not bruised, or it would have caused immediate dissolution ; there was no probability of his recovering. He used every means its his power to render him assist ance; but lie land but one interval in which he was at all sensible; he took the opportunity to ask his name, and if he felt much pain He said, with much difficulty. •• My name is William Wood; I feel no pain ; but I can no longer wag." He was surprieel at the expression; but lie thought the di:viewed being free frein pain was the cause of his having no idea of his dangerous situation. Ile lingered until to o'clock on Wednesday night. and died, in his clear opinion, from the injury he had received on Tuesday. It. Warner, shopman to Alr. W. Crisp, portable disk mentitheturer, Corkspur :erect, ( haring-ernes, Paid ' that on Timidity a ft ernoon. near tour o'cloek, he saw the decease d!d at the end of Spring-gardens; he was apparently intoxicated, and leaned against a poet opposite the Cannon Coffee-house. He saw a stage emelt coming from towards Charing crass, in a snixlerete puce: and just at the moment the hauling horse had 'teased by the &mead, he fell backwards with his liced teeter the feet of the wheel-horses, his hat fell off, and before the coachman ' could pull up the reins the near wheel had passed over his body. Ile thought no blame could he imputed to the coachman, as it was im possible for him to have avoided the accident —J. Mir% guard to ' the coach, and elm Mary Smith, of Charles-wort, Strand, en , roboratel this evidence.—The Jury, after consulting a short time. meanie' the following Verdict—Accidental Death; with a detelend of is. upon the wheels.
