' ,i. - ' 1: Yesterday the avenues leading to Mary-le-bone office . were completely thronged in tmoseqaenee of the sp prehension of 24 persons (Irishmen), who were appre hended by the officers for being concerned in a despe rate riot on Wednesday evening last, in which the Beers and many other persoat were dreadfully 'e inem'. On Christmas Day, as we stated yesterday, a most desperate fight took place in the neighbourhood of Peter -street, Gold's-square, between two low Irish men, and one of them named Welsh was vanquished. The following eveaing, being in the Apollo public bonse, Paildingtosstreet, the subject' of the fight was mentioned, and some remarks not suitable to the taste of Welch were made, on which he quitted the place threatening to" serve out the parties who made them : in a short time," and his conduct convinced the land-' lord that he intended some mischiof. Information was immediately forwarded to this office, '- when Stupks and Stowell, active officers, were dis patched to the Apollo, where they concealed them . sekes, in order tq apprehend any one who might dis flub the peace. .They bad not been there ten minutes, when a most formidable body of me., apparently Irishmen, amounting to about sixty, arrived opposite the house, armed with tremendous bludgeons, &t. and they commenced a most shameful attack upon the &ease : some went inside, while others remained out, and i/s a short time, the whole of the persons in the house were beaten .dreadfully, and the windows and . frost of the boas* destroyed. Staples and Stowell contrived to make their escape out of the window, and sired theist lives. On witnessing the most brutal con duct on the part of the desperadoes, who knocked down indiscriminately every body they met with their sticks, man, woman, or child, bring without their cutlasses, or other arms, they instantly went back to the office for extra assistance, and returned with llackeridge, Day, &c. armed with pistols and cutlasses. T. ring this tiros the militia were exercising their fe city on every body they came to, and even bad the audacity to eater some houses, and they laid on some backoey coachmen near their stand without the least , provocation, and beat them until they were senseless Amid dreadfully wounded. One of them was so ill-treated, ',thee lie is placed in a precarious situation. On the • mourn of the °Seers, they found that the party had in- Qreased in numbers to the amount of between one and two hundred, and brandishing their sticks, and bid ', fiag defiance to the police, who were almost afraid to interfere.- However, the officers rushed in and seized 'Welch, who -was the most active in the affair, and while taking him to some place of safety, they were followed. by the mob, and very much ill-used by them. Stinrefl gave one of them a severe blow with his cut herr, and the fellow immediately retreate4, bleeding rotneely; • • After securing Welch, the ' officers, who . destine/ell . 0 quell the riot, found it absolutely int ?to • 44possible withitutthe aid of the military, sad the Whs , Intents entreated the officers to send to the barracks.

Stowell received a bad wound on his band, and a number of persons were carried away for assist ance, in consequence .of the injuries they received.— Staples seized on a man who was also active, and he was surrounded and belaboured over the arms with stick, until he was necessitated to leave go his hold, he ran into a baker's shop for safety ; they followed him, and the owner of the shop was threatened for barboaring him in his house. The soldien in a short time after the riot had been quelled, repaired to Cato street, where they were informed sometf the persons were that headed the mob, and at one house they were refused admission. The officers, however, for ced , tier way through the windows, followed by the mili tary. In the apartment there were about twenty I risk nien sitting down together drinking tea Idth their faces and heads ctft, ten of them were recognised as being of the party, and were handcuffed and brought to the office. The officers afterwards returned and apprehended 13 snore of the o ff enders. The whole of kbe prisoners were dreadfully injured, but especially one Of the , name of Bradley, who was covered with wounds and bruises. • t Milkers and several other persons gave evi denauf the outrageous and brutal conduct of some of the prisoners, - who were positively sworn to as being very active in the affray.

GUILDHALL.— By Tug BRIMS E STAR It Assocurok.-:-Mr. Charles Murray, the Se krisary iett Siliciter*this Astociation, attended yes terday before 'Elie ~Pitig Magistrate, Mr. Alderman Thompson, fog the purpose of procuring a warrant for the appreimasion of a person acting as a shopman at Mr. Carlile's, 53, Pleet•street.

ULTIMATZ DECISION in THE Lanal. DITTICULTY —John Paints" and John Nightingale, whose ease was stated in our paper of Tuesday, were again brought np. Upon investigating the facts of the case, it appeared by the evidence of Drinkwater, that he bad taken them into custody by the direction of Mr. Wright, the solicitor for the prosecution. ppun the charge of having committed perjury, without any other warrant or authority whatever. The City Solicitor obrerved, that the Magistrate could have us authority to bold them upon this eel. re, the offence of perjury not being within his nuance, The certificates, signed by Mr. Cox, the associate, of the direction of the Judge, that they should be prosecuted for that offence, gave us autho rity to detain them, and were merely such as were re quired by the statute for the prevention of offenders escaping from punish•ueut through the unwillingness or poverty of persons to prosecute. A gentleman who attended fur Mr. Wright said, that the prisoners had been by mistake given late the custody of Drinkwater, when they should have been taken by the officer of the Court to the Fleet prison, the fact being that they were committed for contempt of Court. An officer, from the Fleet prison was now in attendance. The City Solicitor replied, that if that officer would take them into custody the Magistrate would make no objection, but he could make , no order or direction in the matter.

By this mistake, therefore, a sufficient is terve' is afforded them to abscond, if they are desirous of io doing. Bow-eraser.---We hive seldom to record a rob bery of more aggravated circumstances than the fol lowing :—Mr. John Frost, s jeweller, residing at No. 33, Arundel-street, Strand, some three or four solsotbs back hired an errand-boy, named Henry Brown, with an eight months' good character, bat who was con nected with a desperate gang of thieves, and had been once tried at the Old Bailey, for stealing a pair of shoes, the property of his former employer. On the morning of the 20th of November last, &bona 20 mi nutes before eight o'clock, the prosecutor insealarined by his errand-boy, who came to the door of his bed chamber, crying aloud, e• Master, master, get up, you are robbed ; every thing in the shop is turned topsy tarry." With that Mr. Frost went up stairs to his workshop, where he found a cabinet, containing the chief of his stock in trade, completely ransacked; the doors were broken open, and gold watches. diamond rings, and jewellery stolen, to the amount of 2,300/. He gave information at Bow -street, and Davis, one of the officers, accompanied Mr. Frost to his house, and strictly questioned every one of the workmen and servants. The suspicion fell upon the errand-boy. i who denied all knowledge of the robbery. Davis not being satisfied with this, put him into the Watch house, bet.still tbps boy would not acknowledge any thing till he was taken to Bow -stmt. where he told the gaoler t4at he wanted to speak is his tosstara accordisigly . Davis and Mr. Frost went with him, when he tonfessed that he let three young men into `Mi. Frost's house, on the morning of the 19th of No vember (Monday) and that they. remained in a cock loft over the shop all the day. In consequence of this, one of the young men, named John Brown. was taken up. The ease being here at a stand still, it was thought adviseable by the Magistrate to allow Mtn to turn King's evilleoce, and in consequence of his reve lation, 'Henry Brooks, John Stokes, alias Williams, Moses Soloinon, and I. Nathan, aid Mary Ann Sates. were apprehended. The witness Brows stated, that several days ph vions to the roblpery„ he, H. Brown, C. Newan, and James Thomas. proposed to the prisoner. livery Brown, to hello ipto his master's house on Saturday, the 17th ult., after the workmen had kft their week.

Stokes told them the property ought to fetch 1,0001. They all afterwards went to the hoses of a Jew, named Solomons, a most notorious receiver of stolen goods, and then took a coach in Ili shopsgate-street, and drove to Doswell-street. Stokes bad some conversation with Solomon and Newman, and they west to the Star public-house in Doswell street, where Salmons bought halt of the property for 2001. ; he said be weeed get his partner (Isaac Mabee) to buy the other half; he took the • whole of the property sway, and advised the witness to go to sea ; some time after be brought the prisoner Lyons, whom Its called Isaac Nathan, who gave 2001. for his half of the'property ; the only evidence against the fe male prisoner, is her carrying the property to Wil liams's house in a bag. The witness said, he bad often been to the prisoner's (Lyons) lodgings in Widegate-alley, bet always un derstood his name to be Isaac Nathan, -and they bad .reed bin; other stolen property. John Davis, one of the officers, said, he found the prisoner, (Lyons) concealed under the heel. The Solicitor for the prosecution wished Sir R. Bit 'ale to postpone the examination until Monday. Sir R. Mum said, he could have no objection if it would forward the ends of justice; but, as there bad been so many examinatioas, he had male up his mind to commit for trial. Mr. AXDRIMS, who appeared for one of the pri soners, asked the Worthy Magistrate, whether he thought the evidence of the witness (Brown) sufficient to send them to trial, as there were no other corrobo rating circumstances. Sir R. Rrestrasaid, the boy's evidence was given very clearly, and he thought it quite evidence enough to commit ; hut, however, he would, under existing circumstances. remand them till Mondey. (huVANNI IN Inxt.arrn.---Thomas Baker Cox, Esq. of No. 1. Soho-square, attended to prefer a complaint against William Bond, a Constable of this Office, who does duty at Drury-lane Theatre, for assaulting him. Bond having been sent for, by order of the Magistrate, Mr. Cot stated. that he went en Wstltestlay evening the Pit of Drury-lane Theatre. and darts sit Pape_ part of the repreifentation a the pieee. — called Gi.vaem in Ireland, be thought proper (as be conceived he bad an undoubted right to do) to express disapprobation in the usual way, by crying OF, off," and hissing.— While doing so, the defendant seized him by the collar dragged Lim from his seat, and In doing so, tore his shirt. He remonstrated, and the defendant produced his staff, said he was a Bow-street officer, and gave his name. But for the interference of the audience, who cried " Shame," at the conduct of the Constable, he would have been put out of the Theatre, but the latter let bimgo. He should observe. that he had previously seen Bond applauding very vehemently. Sir R. BIOME—WeII, there is no great harm in that, sorely—one man may be much pleased with a piece, with which another is highly displeased. Mr. Cox said, that war, undoubtedly, true, and by that very rule, the officer ought not to have interfered with bin]. Sir R. Bitola_ said, Bond was there to keep the peace, and he was right to interfere, if he saw any conduct which was likely to create a breach of the peace.—Mr. Cox said, he was expressing his opinion ouly in the legitimate way. Bond, in iris defeat', said, Mr. Cox bad no sooner taken his seat than he commenced hooting, and crying Off," before he could have had time to know whether there was any thing to approve or disapprove, and be continued so long and loudly, that many of the audi ence cried " Tarn him out." He was the only person who so hooted, and cried " Off." When he took him into custody, he called him (Bond) a rascal, &c. ; he denied tearing bis shirt. _ _ _ Mr. Cox declared, that a great number joined in the cry of disapprobation ; the scene which particu larly disgnsted him was that in which singing was in troduced in a Court of Justice—a thing, which, as the worthy Magietsato mast know, was never yet beard of, and was a grass outrage upon propriety and decency. He applewied some scenes, though he expressed hii disapprobation at others ; he begged to deny calling Bond a rascal, and to assert that he did tear his shirt. Bond said, he bad witnesses who would bear him oat in all he had said. Sir K. BISNIII said, be was desirous that the charge should be fully investigated, and he would, therefore, postpone the hearing until eleven o'clock to-morrow (this day), and then each party would bring what wit nooses he chose. 111ARLsoaouammreszT.--Yesterday T. Cribb. the h exer, appeared to a peace warrant, to answer a com. plaint of exciting riot at the Tennis-court in Windmill *rect. There is a subscription Sparring Club there. and a public day on every Monday. The complaint was. that Cribb waited about the door, and told per. was who were going in that it was a hoax altogether, and this oratory of Cribb's not only sent some away. but created as assemblage of persons. Another charge yes, that he bad threatened to throw the Proprietor of the court under the wheel of a waggon, and to gin his son a manser. The defence was, that Cribb's imams hid been put into the bills of tae entertain. inens without his consent, and this the Magistrate thosght likely to breed riot. when it was fossil that Cribb did not spar. bet, on the other hulk, it was not the way to remedy it to excite tunmit, 'and the complaiit was dissnissed,on Cribb promising not to • molest the proprietor, and the latter eagaging not to use Cribb's name again. • ;$ % fi MiUltikdriOwYd a . .. . . . • . • The itislist toseliee w -7.'7- ere detained he en . the preceding d a y s i n conseqemaii of the II reads. , Ind s r lite st The Notebeeit Ugh )14t6 fic4ii 'iiiptsfii:L the inindatioes.
