SEPT. O. The constables, however, declared moat they welt all together at that hour, and that they had nut committed the assault. Mr. Norris.-1t is clear, then, that you cannot iden tify the person who struck you. I shall dismiss the complaiut. I have no doubt that you were struck, and that you lost your white hat. If you think that this officer took it, you may suntoton him to the Court of Requests, and you may, if you please, indict him at the Sessions for the assault. The man said, 1 will most certainly indict him; for I can prove that he struck me and took away my hat, while 1 was walking quietly along. These are tile wily cases that occurred at the New Bailey yesterday. lam sorry to add, however, that two 11101 were taken to the Infirniary about I I o'clock on Monday night, whose heads were dreadfully bruised.— They were walking along with white hats on, and some of the police-officers attacked thesis with their truncheons before they could defend themselves. Front all that I heard in Court, and what I have collected from credible persons in the towel, I have no doubt that a mist Willll,oll and uuwarrantable attack was made by souse of the police-officers, me Sunday night, on several torsos's who were proceeding home quietly, but who wore white hats, and therefore were supposed to be Radical Re formers. This conduct cannot he sufficiently censured , and I am surprised that Mr. Norris, whets the white hat cases were before him, did not caution the officers publicly not to interfere with the people, merely because their hats were white. His observation, " Never mind the white hats," was delivered in so low a lone, that it could be heard only by those who were itninediat ly under him. The editor of the Maitcheshr Obstiver hat posted a bill at his shop to-day, requesting that all per sM! who have been illegally attacked by the police officers, will furnish him with a correct statement of their case, which lie intends, I hear, to publish nu usecliately. I hare no other news to communicate. Tituasuar, 2 o'clock.-1 have just returned ftom the New Bailey, where the following case was brought lot ward _ _ _ Kilby, an officer, stated, that a pistol was fired last night near tile barracks, iu King-staeet. He and the guard went ty the spot where he heard the report, and there he found Thomas Ryder, the prisoner, who, with several others were crying out " Huta and liberty r He slid not sec the pistol, nor could he charge the prisoner with any other offence titan that of joining with the rest in the cry abovementioned. The prisoner, in his defence, said, that he was not present on this occasion ; that he was at work till after six o'clock, when he went with his master, who said, Me would treat hint to tne Black Horse. From that pliace he returned home, and never cried out " Hunt." Mr. Murray, who, it will be remembered, was se verely handled by a number of prism's at the White Moss, on the 15th of August last, came fin watt', and said thatalic could swear positivisly that the prisoner was one of those who atia, ked him. Another person said, he could identify the prisoner as one of the men who attacked Murray. A third said, that he did not see the prisoner attack Murray, but he saw him pass within Cite yards. Sneweross, who was also attacked on that day, said, he could not identify the prisoner. The prisoner protested, that he was innocent of ►he charge now brought against him. tie could bring his waster fur whom he worked, and another person, to rine that he was not out of the house on tee 15th of August, in tact, he did not, evan at this moment, know where the White Moss was. The magistrate ordered, that the prisoner should be remanded till to-morrow, in order that lie might then bsiii forward his with, sses. I have nothing, else as present to communicate to yon, nor do I expect that any thing particalar will arise till the inquest is held tin the body of John I.ves. In a former letter I mentioned. that Mr. harried, the coroner, had n.dered the body to be taken asp, that it might be again inspected by the Jury belare him. To day I have heard that the gentlemen cosmt•ctcd with the public press will not be suffered to take Jny notes of she evi dence; and, indeed, it is said, they will be excluded Irma the room. The Guru rof Tuesday last seems very anxious to have them excluded ; but will the public Le satisfied with such a proceeding? . . In the absence of other political intelligence, I may just mention, for the information of your readers in London, that on Tuesday next the mail will wart from this place at six o'clock in the morning, and arrive in Loudon at hall-past six the nevi morning. On Nlonday the mail will leave London at the usual hour, and ar rive here at twenty minutes before eight in the follow ing evening, instead of ten.

THE STREETS OF LONDONi MR. EDITOR.-.—YoUr Readers in general are pretty well acquainted with the manocrs of the Me tropolis displayed in the streets of London, yet you will perhaps consider certain details published in the Gazette de France of the I 3th inst. on the subject, rather amusing. The writer, it appears, left P..ris a few weeks since, to scrutinize the habits and be haviour ofJohn Bull, to descant uptit his deformity, anti bestow praise where it is due. I low far he has faithfitlly discharged that task, your intelligent readers will judge. The writer has headed his letter " Les Ines de Londres." He says—" The first thing that struck me in my walk throughout the metropolis of Englund, was a thick smoke from sea-coal, which obscured the sky. This awoke affected my throat in a disagreeable manner. ':'he English are not sensible of the same inconvenience, because habit has reconciled them to it. All the English, without distinction, use this combustible ; the tire of which is more equal, ar dent, and lively than any other. If it was inju rious to health, the rich would expel it from their houses. I walked over the pave, not knowing where I went. Every street was indifferent to me, because all that I wished to we, and all that was presented to me, had the appearance of no velty. I read the names of the streets, and viewed the shops and equipages with an air of astonishment. In less than twenty minutes I arrived at Piccadilly, covered with dust, having been jostled by ut least a thousand persons, who forced me to make way quicker than I wished. The English, and particularly those born in London, are as rank badaubs (Cockneys) us the Parisians ; but I must do them the justice to admit, that they do not show their cockneyism in any thing su much as their public pleasures and diver sions. Business is the leading feature of an Eng lishinun's character. He goes out in the morning to transact matters of trade or commerce, and he does not expect to meet in the street one idle per son. From ten in the morning to three in the after. noon, every ',Oily is busy. Thu mall who walls out between those hours from curiosity only, is tin. fbrtunate. He is pushed rudely by all he meets. Every one knows how to use his elbows and his Srsts. They allow no time the excuses. They dis pense with civility in the streets as tiliperilOolls. I own I was astonished to find the people of Lon don in that respect not so ridiculous as the Pari sians. -' cast my eyes upon a great street half built, which appeared to be composed of magnificent ho tels. I asked an Englishman to tell me the name. He answered Waterloo, and supposing I did nut understand him, repeated the word. The English have multiplied that word in a singular manner. They have raised many monuments to its glory. They have Waterloo Bridge, Waterloo-place, Wa terluo-house, &c. &c. We have in Paris similar instances of baptisms. We have had Places de Jeminapes, of Fleurns, and of %Vagrant. The bridges of Austerlitz and Jena, the Barriers of Marengo, Lodi, Itivoli, and Arcole streets. Piccadilly is one of the most brilliant streets of the English capital. It is a fashionable street, having at its extremity the two line promenades, the Green Park and Hyde Park. '1 he hotel of Lord Burlington is remarkable thr taste and de gunge---it would do honour to a French architect. Two doors modestly open in the English style, at the residence of the Marlborough of 181 E. If a crowd of lazy servants, in livery, indicate the abode of a great man, we may look in vain for him here. Curto,ity 'mule me entcr the hall of this palace. which I had been told, contained the finest chefs d'asuvres of art. There must be many, since the proprietor has placed one the finest works of Canova, the statue of Buonaparte, thrtnerly in tended for the Salle de Alarechaux, at the foot of the staircase i►t that part of the hotel, appropriated to servants. This want of taste struck me with disgust. I did not expect to find other objects of art better ar ran.,ncd nod I left the hotel. -A short distam,e from this illustrious Palace, I found Albemarle-street, and the modest hotel, occupied by Louis the Eigh teenth, when the wisbcs of France cilted him to the Throne of his Ancestors. Here he remained after he leti Ilartwell—here he was saluted by the ite elamaii,,:.s of a free people at the moment he pro ceetlesi to give liberty to Franci.—here a deputation from the Litizens of London came to oiler ho mage to the grandam of Louis the Fourteenth. It was one o'clock, and I had taken no other refresh ment than some tea and rolls (slices of build and butter)! I saw remiss passing about me, eating fruit in a wicker basket. I met an Englishman, who lodged in my hotel; he infiirmal me that I was in New Dombstrect, and that it l i ps the ens • tom of England, at that hour, to ke what he culled a lunch. Ile told me it' antetudihe shop of the first pastry-cook, I shouldotle sure to find not only re'reshment, but.the liest.comlutny ia London. nli The person► who ornamented the pave were ut th same time men of high distinction. Nleinbers of the Commons, Peers of the Realm, and Ladies of the first class; the latter in plain dresses were attended by lisitmen in splendid liveries. 1 was surprised to see these Court Ladies addressed with so much fa miliarity by the Lords and young fashionables, whq never moved their hats. In England they never take off their lists to any perion. This politeness, so habitual to a French man, is considered plebian, and the characteristic of a servant. Footmen alone have the privilege of be ing polite, and they never abuse it. The Hotel Marlborough, near St. James's, is oc cupied by Prince Leopold of Saxe Cubourg. I stopped belbre this Palace, but could see nothing worthy the companion of Prince Eugene. I stopped before a Pala e of dismal appearance, with sentinels stationed at both gates. A range of columns formed a screen in trout, and en closed the court of a building of tolerable architec ture. This was Carlton House, the residence of tete heir presumptive to the crown of the Three Kingdoms.—The Prince Regent receives little com pany. His friends alone have the privilege of vi siting him. His ministers arrive generally on f ou r, and without servants. Carlton House stood some years ago, amidst old delupidated houses. They have been removed to build the Circus of Waterloo, the walls of which being white, are covered by inscrip. tions written by the canaille of London. The Prince may open his window and cast his eyes 'won the devices which convey ideas of liberty. Upon the walls of the palace of the future sovereigns of England appear in large characters, not two paces from the centinals on guard.—" Long live Sir Fran cis Burdett"—" Burdeit and liberty"—Liberty or Death."

The military were compelled on Tuesday last to fire upon the mob, but no person was woun. ded. Nearly all the windows of the houses inhabi.. ted by Jews have been broken.
