tharjuvenile delinquency has arrived at a very high pitch; but we will tell Mr. Halls, that it is Dot so kept under by putting the dealings of mankind in fetters, nor by sending a respectable tradesman to Newgate, to be locked up with felons till the sessions arrive, or by compelling him to spend 501. or 601. on a journey into the country, with lawyers and officers of the law, to give bail before a judge for his appearance there; when after 111 this heavy mortification and expence, he le to be told by the Common Sergeant that " be cannot think for a moment of putting him upon his defence." No: The number of juvenile offenders will never be reduced till the taxes which keep some of their parents in a state of such titter destitution, that they are careless where their children fotsge for bread, and compel others, more fortunate, to tabor so incessantly to provide for.the cravings of nature, that they have not time for that care of their offspring that the labouring man formerly bestowed. If our readers want any means whereby to gage tbe intellect of Mr. Swahee, we refer them to his letter to Mr. .Lawson, the clerk of the peace for Sorry, enquiring whether the reports of that gentleman's observations upon Swabey's .conduct wen correctly gives. Mr. Lawson's veply jaalloost as clever a thing; but it wants the Dublin+ e obscurity of the worthy magistrate. Sines Mr. Lawson ventures to talk of the " hireliags of the press," may we ask bias -what he thinks of a hireling of the magistrate! The :spoilers are assuredly as respaetable a body of den as the, cierkt of the peace. We are end& we must say anthiag,of.the comparative talent of the patties. lit.

On bring taken to Bove Street, they were fined 201. each. for distributing printed papers without the printer's name; with the understanding that the fine would not be levied, 1 if they desisted from obstructing the avenues of the Theatre. Yesterday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a roan invested, as it would seem, with some brief parochial authority, to pr even t the pro fanation of the Lord's Day, slily pounced upon the standing of an oyster wench, at the comer of Little Russell Street, Drury Lane.

[IRON " THI IRIAL JOHN DULL'] Er lona def ftes."—Deieription at the Alms' 0 04.0% ldeWerth• Sta,—There is a subject of moment, which I take the present opportunity of communicating for your pages, and the general utility of citizens. To any person who takes his walks round this increasing Metropolis, and who ob serves, as he loiters among the decaying and old buildings, it will strike him of the many neat and comfortahle Alms Houses, which smoke their domestic time away from the business of life, and " the busy buts of men.' In those Alms Houses, perhaps, hundreds of men and women, who were well educated, industrieourly employed, and highly respected, but whose misfortunes, of every shade, prevented them from accumulating wealth, have spent tranquil years and left the turbulent world full of age without a groan.— unless for the return of some prodigal son, who, in the blossom of hope, was the first cause of the flight of success. and the sting in an affectionate parent's anguished bosom. How, Mr. Editor, do I wish, that this generous practice of bequeathing sums of money for ever ; and freehold asy lums with sufficient comfort attainable, to protect our on. fortunate fella* creatures from indigence and wretchedness, were as sedulously cultivated as it wee in the last and an terior century. The reyolution of property is essential. i ' Amid the various speculations of trade, the incidental fluc tuations of property, the elucidating discoveries of sciaoce, and the progress of art ; some persons neressaridy become rich ; others, poor. The brightest gold in the purse of gain, is that which relieve, the beaten spirit, and makes the virtuous heart beat with gratitude to the giver, and Heaven. Of Wlll4 use. Sir, is it to be the amasser of mil lions, sod yet not the benevolent dispenser of huodrads.— The pride of posthinnons fame, which misers inherit, to he thought worth dying for so much mom than other misers, is vain and cruel,insemuch as it hath robbed the possessor of the milk of human kitidaass, and deprived the worthy of the good Which they milt lit Mrs done in their sphere of a-lion. A fortune which it lost at a pebbling table, and which robe thennlileinan of his dignity and. resources, is eqnslly won by a wmtbleib desperado; whose end is miserable, and desponding suicide. But, Sir, to the dreg. of fashion, and to the wortislessadventureraf-foltrand crime, I do not .appeal—l am writing to the man of reflection; he. who ,bas warmed his interests in flie genial sun of virtue. and .therefore.the happy Inheritor of well .begotten mean s ; he, . who, however prosperous at this moment„inay be influenc ed by the change of Forteee's wheel, and be reduced from affluence, unseenly and unavoidably. Let him open his 1 !wart and his hand—let him, while it is in his power and ditty, raise the pleasant street - Iff houses, with its long walks of gardens and reteetsting•ihsfew of trees--let ',kin, say to his fickle 1at1y....'

Mr. David Ring, assistant to Mr. Adams. perfumer of this place, who sat on the front I was uhfortunately thrown under the coach, which fell upon him, and some minutes elapsed before he could be ex ideated from this dreadful situation. His collar-hone is broken in two places, his face and head much cut, and he is otherwise so dreadfully bruised, that he is considered to be in a very dangerous state. Another of the outside pas' sengers, a female, was also considerably hurt. The same coach was overturned on the preceding Tuesday. by the furious driving of the coachman, when the axle-tree was broken, the insufficient repair of which has occasioned the present more serious accident.—(Leede Mercury.)

Asa Holmes, servant of Mr. Doyle, stated, that in colitis.- queen of Jennings' having told where he sold the pin, she went to Mr- Bury's shop, awl saw Miss Bury, who, on being asked about the pin, frankly told her that she might have it back when it came from the workman's, who had it to repair. Charles Allen, a Row street petrol, deposed that be after wards went with the last witness to Mr. Bury's, who he jaw, and who told bias he might take the pin, which was then brought home, and that he would attend sea witness on the examination of the boy. Mr. Bury did attend as a witness, and was then taken into custody, and afterwards committed, and sent to Newgate as a felon. This was the whole of the evidence for the prose:nation: on hearing whicb the Couatuor Sergeant said" he cowl., mot think for a moment of putting Mr. Bury on hie defence. There was not a tittle' of evidence against him. Mr. ADOLPHUS, who was counsel for Mr. Bury, expressed himself indignant that his client. who had at least 1.50 witness's. of the highest respectability is Court, to bear testimony to his character, should have been put to the expense of getting bail-, ed before a judge to answer such an accusation as this.

CORN EXCRAN6R, Oct. a.—There was a good supply of most descriptions of grain last week, but this morning the' quantities of oorn, fresh in, are only small. owing to the farmers having of late been so much engaged in field operations, as to prevent their threshing. The small quantities of wheat that appeared for sale, occasioned more money to be asked for prime samples, and the prices of this day se'nnight are fully obtained for them, but other kinds did not meet with so free a sale. Barley for malting is again rather dearer, and grinding parcels sells freely at last quotations. Beans meet bnyers readily at present, and are rather higher in price. Boiling peas support the terms last quoted, Gray peas are Is. per quarter dearer. There is nut much business doing in oats, but last week's rates are fully maintained. Flonr remains unaltered. SMITHFIELD M•acst, OCT. 27.—There was an abundant supply this morning at market, particularly of oxen; but the trade was let, and it is expected a great many will return un sold.

It appears that Mr. Parker, who is a fire work Maktr. was incautiously drying a quantity of com p isi , inn before the tire, when, a spark falling among it, It ignited, and communicating with an additional quantity in a cupboard, the explosion was dreadful: There was in the room at the time, Mr. Parker, his son's wife, (fir ad• vanceil in pregnancy.) her mother, Mrs. Tandy, and a pongee sister seven years old, besides his son's child, two ' yews old, all of which were more or less injured. Parker and the child seven year. old, were cooreved to the Hos pital, and both are since dead. His son's wife was kindly received and every attention given her at the adjoining public house, where she was delivered next day of a son, • which is since dead.

A train was formed by this : - , wrens from the powder that fell on the ground, which accidentally exploded the flask, and his hand was nearly blown off.

He had not been up stairs more than five minutes, before Isis wife observed something 'armee in his coon• tenancy, and all of a sudden he began to rave ins most terrific manner, foaming at the month, and portraying other symptoms of insanity. Several nefighbours were called up stairs to the assistance of Sirs. Sherlock, who was placed in the most imminent danger of her life, the unfortunate man basic; attempted to force her out of the window. Two men, on entering the r;orn, endeavoured to secure his hands ; but they were overpowered, and one of them was pitch*l over the staircase, by the maniac, and was most re o 'sly bn t ; the face and bands Of the other were dreadfully lacerated.
