Several incorrect accounts of the late examination before the Lotto M n YOR, relative to the above Office, having appeared in some of the Daily Papers, on the '27th April, we are requested to insert the fol lowing A Ilida sit :- 6 ' Whereas several erroneous statements have been inserted in some of the Daily Papers, purporting to be a report of a complaint exhibited before the Loan MAYOR, against the Proprietor of the Echo Office, Newgate-street, falsely setting forth, • That the Complainant was a servant out of place, and having applied to the above Office, was told, that by paying five shillings or half-a-guinea, they would get him any situation he wanted! That, after calling several times, they gave him a direction from their book for an Under Butler; and that Complainant not succeed• ing, demanded his money back, which was refused l' &c. &c. " We, the underigned, Nathaniel Aveling, Thos. O'Neil, Christopher Crawford, James Nebbs, John Hobson, and Thomas Tibnem, having read the above statement, and having been present at the examine. (ion alluded to before the Lord Mayor, do volunta rily make oath and declare, that no such charge or complaint, as above stated, was ever made during such examination. (Signed) "Nathaniel Aveling, Thomas O'Neil. Cbriqtopher Crawford, James INobbb, John Ho Tibnem. • S woro at the Mansion House. tMs 44th day of Ma), 1815, before me, SAMUEL BIRCH. Mayor." It appears that the Proprietor was summoned 'be fore the Lord Mayor, to answer a complaint exhi bited against his Clerk, for inserting in the Echo List a situation as Butler, which the Complainant stated was not vacant. His Lordship. in order to procure proper evidence, ordered 1111 adjournment : when the person who sent the notice to the Office coming forward, and a note being also produced from the Gentleman in whose family the Butler was wanted, acknowledging the fact ) the summons as of course dismissed. . - STEAM ENGINE. A vessel of this description suddenly made its ap-. pearance at Portsmouth, and coming into the Har bour immediately against the wind, produced, with a little surprise, a considerable degree of curiosity. She was built lately on the Clyde. and was brought to Portsmouth, for the purpose of showing the uses' to which she may be applied. She is a very neatly. l fitted vessel, has the appearance of a yacht, is 75 tons burden, answers to her helm with ail the cele. rity of the best sailing vessels, and goes through the water at the rate of from seven to eight miles an hour—which is produced by the steam from the en-' gine erected in her, it being of 14. horse power : one ton of coals is sufficient fuel to produce the ne cessary force of steam for impelling her 100 miles. She came to Portsmouth from -1 9 Iymouth Sound, in 24 hours. The machinery in her, we suppose, is constructed upon the common principle of most steam engines : the steam produced by the boilkg water is condensed into a piston or pipe, which acts upon two wheels that are fixed upon the sides of the vessel, and these touching the sea, propel her for ward in any direction, at the rate mentioned. It was intended, had the wind not heen fair, that she should have towed the Etulymion frigate out of the harbour on Saturday morning. The vessel went out at between nine and ten o'clock, when Admirals Sir Edward Thornbrough, Halkett, and Fleming, Cep- tains Boger, Tower, &c. went on board to ascertain her qualifications. She continued to work about Spithead nearly two hours, when she departed for Margate and the River. The Admirals, with Lady Thornbrough, Sir George and Lady Bingham, Mrs. Beaumont, .v;e. who were much gratified by the ex- , perinients made, afterwards proceeded on board the Guracoa, with Capt. Tower, and partook of an ele gant and sumptuous repast. We are always happy to hear of whatever has a I tendency to promote the benefit of mankind; and most sincerely do we congratulate the country, and the world at large, on the invention of a System, Apparatus, and Publication, that, with application, cannot fail of making thousands of families happy, and terminating that horrid system that has reduced to misery, wretchedness, and want, the working classes—artizans, mechanics, and (riders, through out the British Empire.—The subject alluded to most incontrovertibly demonstrates, and Nature clearly exemplifies the incalculable advantages of well-regu lated tenantry, and the means of procuring an im mense increase of provisions, evidently designed by a bountiful Providence far the use of man. Without depreciating the value of landed property to ttle rightful o Nners of the soil, the whole of the comfort'• uity may be participators in the giftg of Heaven, tail less the i.rteded Proprietary at once .lefy the intel} tions f:on himself, and the cperatioua of Nature, by cootinning that most terrible system of mono lizin , l' the occupancy of farms. The roily indivitMl the knifed Kingdom, who gave evidence before the Louts of the Committee in behalf of Petitioners nr s aiott the Corn Bill, and who has, on many neva sinus, deserved the thanks of the human race, is the Author and Inventor of the System and Apparatus of the Land Delineator, by which common workmen may take the * Survey, Contents, and Flan of Estates, however extensive. The Plan thus taken with the Publication, momentarily shows the means that the owners of estates, and extensive domains, have of restoring tens of thousands to happiness, of reple nisning our markets, towns, and cities, with abun dance of she necessaries and comforts of life, and of harmonizing the order of society. Noblemen and Gentlemen may be furnished with the Apparatus and System, which will be explained in one hour, Terms, Five Guineas, on application at 24, South Aodley-street, Grosvenor-square, London. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Saturday an Inquest was held before T. SHELTON, Esq. at the Rose Tavern, io Ctipplegate, upon the body of George Tidbury, au ostler, belonging to the Bell Inn, who lost his life in the fire in Wood-street, on Friday morning.—lt appeared that the deceased had been out until an unusually late hour on the preceding night, but had retired to bed quite sober, and without a light. The fire broke out at a considerable distance from where he slept, and, it appeared, was burning an hour and a half before it reached his apartment. This was an attic, at the remote end of the Bell Inn yard; and notwithstanding the noise and confusion %thick pre vailed on every side, the deceased was not awaked to his danger, until the fire had actually reached his bed. Soon after this, dreadful sties were heard, and he was seen bursting open the window with a sheet in flames about him. No assistance whatever could be given him in this ituatien: and an attempt being made to estlicate him through the roof of the apart. ment, it was discovered that the floor of his room had fallen in, carrying with it his body into the ruins beneath. From thence be was in a few hours taken, hut in so mutilated a state, owing to a piece of burning timber lying upon him , that he could not • be recognized.—TheJury lamented that while every other person was thought of and sued, the decealeal should have been wholly forgotten for nearly two hours.—Verdict, Accidental Death. The Ponfeigh colliery, on Douglas Water, in Scot. land, took fire a few days ago, and continues to burn with astonishing rapidity. An attempt is now being made to turn the water into the burning pit. Should this fail, it is apprehended that the whole village of Ponfeigh will be destroyed. The abutments of Chcsford bridge, in Warwick shire, gave way on Monday Last, whilst a waggon, heavily laden was crossing aver it. The waggon, horses, and a boy who w,s leading them, were pre. cii)itated into the Avon. Tice boy was Carried away by the stream, and must have been drowned, had not a dog, who was tied to the waggon, broken the rope and safely brought him on shore. By a prompt assistance all the horses were saved but - the thiller.— The bridge, at the time of the accident, was under repair. PEDESTHTINIcM.—Saturday morning a Young man of the name of Bowman, lately from Yorkshire,• for a wager of ten pounds, engaged to g oon foot from Whitechapel e'er to Brentwood inEssex,and back, again, in four hours and a half, the whole distance being thirty-six miles. lie arrived at the slatting post in good spirits, and wan the wager in taelte minutes less than the time. . . .~.:_.. PO LICE. Bow.STREET.—OR Saturday the footman of Mr. Clarke, the barrister, underwent a second examina tion before Mr. BIRNIE, charged on suspici on „f being concerned in breaking open and robbing Li t master's house of a quantity of silver plate and other property to a considerable amount. On his first ex amination the suspicion against him *as but slight, it, being principally as to his knowledge of where the VA. luable property was kept ; but on Saturday the circum. stances were much stronger, as he had denied erring out on the day previous to the notate being broke open and robbed, when it was proved that he was out, and was in conversation with a man in the street, and pointing to the back part of the House. Th e house was broke open by the back qarlour ; under these circumstances he was remanded for a further investigation. Au . si/is, pawnkroker, was convicted for taking more interest for a pledge than is allowed by Act of Parliament. Joseph Nicholson, the porter fo the Blossoms Inn, was summoned to the office, and to which he appear ed, charged by Sir Edward Knatchbull, with not delivering a parcel in due time to his house in Wim pole-street, which was brought to London by the Maidstone coach. He was dismissed cm paying the custg. John Walker, the owner of the boat 2,129, ap. peered to a summons, charging him with taking more than his fare. lie was disch trged oto returning 2s. (his overcharge), and paying 6s. costs. QUEEN-WA RE.—On Saturday the Bishop of Lon. don was summoned on an information. for having a cart in his possession,removing furniture om his house in St. James's-square to his house at Fulham, which cart had not his name property painted thereon the two first letters being defaced, it :+tond, " shop of London," and also with not being, duly entered with the Commissioners for licensing hackney-coaches, &c. at their office in Essex-street. The Bishop's steward and butler attended, but the charge being made out, he was fined in the penalty of 40s. which was paid. BREAD SHORT OF WEIGHT. On Saturday J. Churcher, a baker, of Macelel. field-street, St. Anne's, was •summoned in conse quence of 23 quarter'', 11 half-quarters►, and other loaves, having been seized on his premises by Gill. more and Cobham, Officers, they being deficient is weight. Some of the quarterns and half-quarter'', wanted from 4to 51 oz. and one three-penny loaf was short 3 oz. The baker attributed blame to his man, and added, that he had neither been before contained of, nor ever had as alum on his pre mises. The Magistrates repeated their surprise, since so many bakers of the West end had been I brought to this Office, that they should not be more anxious about reputation. On account of the baker's statement, they should on:y convict in Is. 6d. per oz. 4 The deficiency was 123 oz. and deducting 60 oz. overwoights left at the shop, there remained 63 oz.— Penalty and costs 51. VII. 6d. : HATTON-GARDEN.--At eight o'clock on Saturday evening, a venerable looking man, named Thomas .steams, a tailor by Stevie, batoratited from business,. living at No. 6, York-buildings, Somerstown, was brought up in the custody of Read and Li ''brick, officers, charged with attempting to murder Wife ; Rebecca A psom. Mary Ann Elliott, a respectable looking woman, daughter to the Prisoner, with great agitation gave her evidence. Being sworn, she said the Prisoner was the best of husbands and fathers until he retired from business, since which time he is given to drink, and when in liquor he is quite deranged, and their lives are in danger from his violent passion ; that he had once before attempted the life of her mother, and inflicted a deep wound on her arm with a knife ; that he was at another time so very desperate, that he was obliged to be confined its a strait waistcoat; that this evening, between five and six o'clock, as he and her mother were sitting at tea, without the smallest provocation, he took up the cream-put, and threw it with such violence at her head, that it inflicted a most desperate wound over her temple ; that the cry of " Murder !" brought in some Gentlemen who were passing, who as sisted in securing him, and prevented his doing further mischief until a constable came, who took him into custody. Mr. Squirrel, a neighbouring ' surgeon was sent for, who came and examined and dressed the wound, which was bleeding profusely; that Mr. Squirrel said the wound was of a very dan gerous nature, and he could not pronounce her oat of danger, or give his opinion for two or three days. The constables corroborated the latter part of this evidence. The Prisoner was then committed fur further examistAtion. There's an error in the sta'ement of Wednesday tbat a dreadful fire had broken nut at Sadlersi-hall. 'f he fact is, the file larukeent at the house of a wholeinle linen draper, adjoining the Hall.
