PIP' ~ _~ • I .. . • • „taa/fV P.IL4G'E. i! • • LIN tasirxrucow, Serer. 19.—We have to observe, that in consequence of nit order from the Barons of Exchequer, a ember of workmen hare of late beets employed to make repairs on the most decayed parts of the Royal Pace here, by which means this ruble structure will in future be kept its a better state of repair for the in;peciion of strangers, of whom a great many constantly resert here to tee the sof the place. The town of Linlith gnu' is r , int-red memorable for its having been the w here Iregoist Murray met his deatls from the hands of ortlotliwellha.re , t, and still more o from th,. circumstance of the Sieenin League and Cowman' haying bent) burnt on the itestorati on. In this 1 , ,,1are did ilie unfortunate Mir* of, Scotland first see ; and the room where Ifise";tas born is i..:111 shoe's. While the workmen were removing' some riiiitikti out of ore of the rooms in the Palace, the dirvovereil a lion rampant, made of wood, about two feet in length. It has beeriLof exquisite workmanship, and still retains much ,of its pristine,' appearance, and is in a high state .pf-..preservatiou, considering the very great number of years it must base buried. Its mane, which is profuse In tl abundance of curls, has been richly gilt, and its o lower parts are painted of a bright vermilion. In its dexter forepaw it holds the edge 'of a crown . (raid to he an exact representation of the Stot 3 crown), as it were in the act of placing it on its heed. The hinder legs have tiiifortunately been broken off, and a lone iron spike is fixed in its right side, by which it has most probably been fastened to the wall. The workmen entertain great hopes of finding other curin'ities, and they 'certainly have great right to be sanguine in their expectations, as this Palace was most part elegantly furnished when it was burnt by the King's troops during the rebellion in 1745, on the flimsy pretext that it had afforded a night's shel ter t o the Pretender. Perhaps the Antiquarian So ciety will be able to elucidate for what purpose this golden lion has been used. BoxING.—A regular determined railing match be tween young Baldwin, son of the celebrated Caleb, and young Barron, son of the like celebrated knocker, took place in Tothill-fields, by candle light, on Tuesday, for a subscription purse amongst a party of amateurs, who had dined at Oliver's.— Forty rounds were fought, at hit for hit, between these heroes of the bantam breed. Young Caleb rolled in mischievously in his dad's style, but Barron met him firmly, and both milled away until they fell hreatillfss in every round. Time WA4 given far fetch ing mind, and to it they went again, with claret streaming, until the spot resembled the knocker's slow:hter•hous,: on a bustling day. They kept up this gstot. for three-quarters of an hour, with equal edvatitages, still some money was won and lost at belting rotrls upon each. Baldwin fought at a disad vantage the last sis rounds, manife.ting much weak ness, and he was ultimately ohliged to yield to supp. J im , Weight. Although Baldwin was defeated, he did not sully the name. l Pnl NG ORCllAllDg.—Yesterday Samuel Baxter end James Watson were charged berme tie Magis trates of •; , trrpy with steeling two baskets full of apples from the orchard of Blades, Esq. near Peckham. fly the Stat. 43 Eliz. cap. 7. offehtlers of the above desr.ipto.n are, opott conviction, req - uired.to give to the comfilainatit such satisfaction and recompeoce for the d triage he may have sustained as to the Ma. gistrate shall apnear proper.

Carpenter denied the charge in the most -positive manner, when he was 'used with it ; hut the property heing.found in a place of concealment near his cell a detainer was lodged against him, id the . Governor's hand, for the robbery. Tuesday night the premiers of Mr. John Shaw, of Dulwich, Surrey, were broke open, and robbed of nearly the entire stock of poultry, and 13 rabbits.

Marevrnw-nousk.—Yesterday, a young woman named Gonnoi, was charged as fellows : Mr. Thompson, of the firm•of Thomson, Gordon, and Thomson, seedsmen, in Fenchorch.street, staled, that a f• -•w d4ys ago the Prisoner was hired by him as a geneial servant, at the recommendation of a Mrs. Saunders, who gave her an eeceltent character. The Prisoner, however, had been only three days in the house, when she get intoxicated, and behaved other wise tfatreately ill. Witness gave her warning to quit the house the day following. On the same nighl, as the watchman was going his rounds, he discovered the door of the house standing open, and heard the Prisoner in conversation with a man in the passage. The next morning, she was found in a state of the most beastly intoxication ; several things were missed from the warehouse, and on the cellar stairs, five parcels of seeds were found packed in a handker chief belonging to the Prisoner, ready for removal. The LORD MAYOR asked Mr. Thomson if he had sten Mrs., Saunders upon the subject? , The Prosecutor said, he had endeavoured to find her for the purpose of punishing her, for giving a false character, but she had absconded. Mr. Teague, the Keeper of the Compter, said, that the husband of the Prisoner was executed at Maidstone, in 1816, for being concerned in robbing a hoy upoit the River Thames of a large quantity of dollars. The LORD MAYOR observed, it was dreadful to reflect, that with such an awful esample before her, this woman should still persist in vicious courses. — She was remanded for a week. . . found the glass and other cloths, oird he bar4a small desk to keep thion in. A. he was going to leave the place, no persnn had any right to the cloths, and .he was going to take them away, when his master clime, up to him, and insisted that he should not take the cloths or any of his property away with him, till Inv had settled with him, at the rate of a year. At' this time he gave him a violent blow antis breast. Mr. Taylor, in his defence, stated, that on the . Prosecotor's return home, oir Wednesday, be had been drinking till he considered him to be int oxicartid, whkh was the cause-of their dispute. Ile persisted, that the Prosecutor agreed to pay him 301. a year for his place. -He denied striking the Prosecutor on his breast in the way he had described. Sir N. Coarser, the Sitting Magistrate, told him he was not' justified in •forcing Gore the Prosecutor the cloths, which were his property, for arty disputed question between• theM. Several Gentlemen, who were in the coffee.rootn at the time, attended, and one of them having ob. served, that the parties had better make it up, they retired for that purpose, the dispute was soon settled, and the warrant was discharged. MARLBOROUGH- STREET. —A tradesman in Oxford. street, charged his daughter, a young woman about eighteeu gears of age, with creating a riot at his , house, and facilitating the escape of his other daugh ter, aged fourteen. It appeared, that the Prisoner, for the last two or three years, has conducted herself in a very improper manner, courting the company of loose characters of both sexes. She was frequently admonished, but she was too _hardened to listen to the advice of her friends, till she fell into that snore which her bad conduct bed led them to anticirste. She lived al art from her relations ; but from her conduct it was suspected that she attteropted to seduce her sister to the same course of life, and this suspicion was yes terday morning verified by the sudden disappearance of the girl. For some days past she was kept under re striction by her father, who caused her clothes to he taken from her when she went to bed, and returned each morning, notwithstanding which she contrived to , escape nut of the windoiss quite naked, before any of the family were up ; but, as she could not walk the streets in that condition, it was naturally supposed that her escape had been effected by the Prisoner thad her confederates, as she was seen in the course of the • Clay its St. Giles's. The Prisoner was in consequence brought before the Magistrates, and questiossod wifh regard to her sister's retreat, upon which she threw i no light, and she was discharged. She iromediatei y proceeded, after leaving the office, to her fitheos house, assaulted her mother.isi-la a, and, by the I violence of her conduct, caused a riot, and a large mob to assemble. A constable was wkh difficulty (hood, into whose custody she was consigned.— Every enquiry after the runaway has proved fruit. less. The Prisoner said, she only went to her father's house to get some clothes, which she had there, and that they beat her with a stick.—She was held to bail. Au interesting female, neatly attired, and whose appearance altogether bespoke an afflicted heart, was introduced to the Sitting Magistrate by Gen tleman, who found her wandering on London. bridge in a dejected state, on Wednesday night, and who compassionately hired a berifor her at anion in Gracechurch-street. She told her story as fol lows : Her name was !Webster, and she was seduced from her home at Lichfield, Staffordshire, about a fort night sinte;by a traveller from the George inn, who brought her to London, and after leaving her unpro. tected, a Staffordshire woman, whom she had rev•r before seen, came to her, affected to pity her case, and offered to introduce her to a friend's house, where she would be taken care of until /he could hear from the country. This asylum tarried out to be a brothel, in ilittford-itreet, Fitzroy-square.; bet is she refused to *Coin' an . ..soda te In the iniquities Of the other inmates, else was 'desired to quit the boose, and her linen, &c. was stopped I r k in alleged' sum of thirty shillings for two do's' board.—This was her Onforturtate situation, when the Gentleman alluded to found her. The 114aciirtiate referred the Appellant to the. parish, In which she slept the preceding inigta, and iK3 tted a summons to the brothel keeper for the clothes detained. LAII B ETII-STR y haac Norris wag brought up from Whitechapel watch-bottie, 'charged with an attempt at robbery, on Mr. Chitty, barrister, of the Inner Temple, on Wednesday night lost : It appeared from the evidence of -- Dungate, a' watchman, and James Harrison, post. my, in the employ of Mr. Ilenry Butts, Livery-stable-I►eeper of Carey-street, Lincoln's Irrn•fields, that on Wednes day night last, Mr. Chitty, accompanied by his piston, set out from Mr. Butts' stables in a•tiost-chaise, about eight o'Llock, to go to Bury St. Edmunds.— The post-boy holing fastened •their trunks ; which contained considerable properly, to the chaise, pro. ceeded on as far as the Mile-end-road. The Prisoner, with three other nototioes characte►s, was seen by Dungen', the watchman, running after the chaise, , and the Prisoner at length contrived to get between the *heels, and commenced cutting rometiiing - ; it was very dark, and the - watchmen having his suspi cions ran after the chaise, when it was fourith he Pri soner had contrived to cut the strap which fastened the trunks. Dungate seized the Prisoner, and Mr: Chitty ordered him to be taken to the watch-house ; the other villians, when the watchman came up, made their escape. The Prisouer was remanded for the attendance of Mr. and Miss Chitty. The night previous to the above attempt, two robberies similar to the above were committed on the same road, and considerable property lost. Vonstire•sTntLT.—An information was yesterday laid against certain• persons acting on account of the Gas Light Company, in Brick-lane, Oid.street, for' having broken up 100 square feet of the foot pave. merit in Coleman-street, St. Luke's, Middlesex, for . the purpose of le . sing down new pipes, by which, according to the New Street Act, they were• liable' to a penalty of 40s. for each foot, which aMounted to `2OOl. The information was laid at tire insta ece of the Surveyors; but, after it had- : been argued about forty tninates , the Magistrate was clearly of opinion 'het the Company, by virtue of their own Act of Parliament, had an undeniable privilege to break up the place to question, notwithstanding the strictness of the Net, Act; add cousequeutlx the automation was quashed.' 11 1 .. • -- 64, % Barrow-naaosx.— faursday fed t 0 tatwirtite for - rial,' ehargt-d with tt from the shop of John ..'impitou; jeweller, row, IJul.mrn.

GumettALL.—On Wednesday the case of Older sha w and family, came on again before Sir W. CUR TB, the sitting Alderman, when he enquired if Mrs. Oldershaw and her children were present. The Churchwardens of St. Gregory's parish an swered that they were; and to the credit of these Gentlemen, they appeared clean sod comfortably clothed. To describe the miserable state of the children is a most painful task. The *West, a boy about 10 years of age, a cripple, supported by crutches, pallid cheeks, and hollow eyes, with famine depicted in his countetsince ; the second, also a bny, aged seven years, although not a cripple, exhibited more es. pressively the want of care and proper food ; and the third, a girl, about four years of age, nearly blind— so much so, that she cannot bear the light, without a handkerchief to her eyes, and this caused by neg. lect ! The wretched mother is in the sixth mouth of her pregnancy. Sir Was. CURTIS, addressing Mr. Deputy Boa, " This is a case I must speak to you about. It has created a great sensation amongst many humane per sons. I have got some money in my pocket which has been sent me for this family, and I will get more; I want you to advise with some of your respectable neighbours in the parish, and . to form a Committee to receive subscriptions fur them, and apply it in a proper way for them, to put the family in some way of business, as 1 have no doubt but that there will be a handsome sum subscribed for them, and when the poor man has recovered his senses he will not be galled by knowing they have sunk so low as to be obliged :n take ref ge in a work•house." The Worthy liaionet and Mr. Puny had some cony. -sailor', the result of which was, that Older shaw had been for years of irregular habits, and those of his wife not much better, ■nd that the infir mities of their children were caused, if not by their disorderly conduct, by their neglect. Mr. Howard corroborated this statement, and said he had an op. portunity of knowing it, as Ire lived opposite to them. Oldershaw having been brought from the Compter, was put to the bar, and appeared in a state of great irritation. Sir W. CURTIS addressed him in the most en. couraging and humane manner, so peculiar to the Worthy Baronet. " Good morning to you. How do you find yourself to-day ? I hope you feel more comfortable than when I saw you last I" Oldershaw.—" I find myself much more comfort. able. I was shaved this morning wi'h Prince Blucher's razor. I will prosper twenty times more at conveyancing than ever I did; and 41 had some powder in my hair, I could sit opposite to Lord El. lenborough, Mr. Leach, and that other great man, whose name I forget." Sir W. CURTIS.—" I have no doubt, not only from Dr. Box's certificate, but from the man's con duct now, that he is insane. I hand him and his fa mily over to you. Gentlemen Churchwardens of St. Gregory's parish, and depend on your humane con duct towards them." At the suggestion of the Worthy Baronet, some Gentlemen who felt interested for the children now retired to the private room, where they formvd • Committee to receive subscriptions for them. Mr. God%in.—" I am directed by the Commit tee, Sir, to request that whatever money they may receive, that you will allow it to be paid into your tinnklllg•houae.rr Sir W. Custis.— r ` I cannot answer for the house which I beloug to receiving the money, but I will answer that they will pay you that check of mine for 51. which I give with all my heart ; I have also re ceived a 11. note, and a check for 51. for those poor people, which I hand over to you, and I wish you every suceess with the subscription." Mr. Godwin, in the name of the Committee, thanked the Worthy Baronet, and they took their leave . ; and the poor family were conveyed to the work house.
