THE NATIONAL REGISTER 1401iCe. MANSION HOUSE. ILLUMINATION ROWS.—A young man, from whom a pistol had been taken by an officer, ou one of the illuutinatinu nights, begged that the Lord Mayor would order it to he restored to him, as he had been in fluenced, by the very general feeling that prevailed, to let off a hole powder, as a testimony that he participated in the public joy. flie Lord Mayne having ascertained that the conduet of the applicant had not been improper on the occasion, except inasmuch as he kid tired off the pistol in the air, and by the explosion invited a similar show of etmaratn lanai' on the part of others, said he should not detain the pistol. His Lordship observed, that it was with great pleasure he perceived that the City of London had fully answered the expectations generally entertained, by preserving the peace Militia the [clueings. He did got Ille.lll to compli ment the City Police, but he could not help thinking that they were perfectly qualified tinker') under any dis )) i ) ion to acts of fury among:. the turbulent, without any dangerous consequences to themselves, or requiring aid from tilos-, the very appearance of whom within the sculls of the City wairconsidered in the light of an attack impost the privileges of its inhabitants. Some fellows who had undergone examinations on Tuesday, urn charges of havina attempted to rob gen tlemen nu Conthill s mere again bought up. No per son appeared against theist, btu their fathers promised a great deal, and the Lord Mayor said he should specu laic upon their repentance, and tlissmissed them. On the nigh 111)011 I . 'hiCh these men were taken into custody, Mr. Browne, the marshal, received, in the per formance of his duties, very severe tteatmetit from the gang of piekpoektas hat infested Fleet -street, in the neighbourhood of Alderman Waithinan's house, and Ludgate-hill, opposite to that of Mr. llone. He ob served a desperate fellow dragging the property out of people's pockets its the crowd, and made over to him for the purpose of taking him into custody. Toe thief with the view of canyiug ou Ms plan, its which he was as sisted by several miters, with the better effect, cried out, "Tile Queen for ever," at every grab he made, and upon . seeing Mr. Brown, lie roared out to his companions— " Here's the bloudy Maneaester work over again—Down with him boys." The thieves, on each side of their leader opened a pass ige and as soon as he had tottered amongst them, followed by Mr. Brown, they closed bemusing ill upon all sides the marshal, who, however, seized his object. They commenced an attack upon Mr. Brown, from whom the leading thief disengaged him self by slipping must dexterously out of his coat and waistcoat, and fighting hard like a cat upon his back.— The mar shalhal was overwhelmed by the gang, and dashed upon the ground, but he used his weapon with such vigour, that in about a quarter of an hour, after having given a good many bloody noses he disengaged himself. —The gang disappeared almost with the rapidity of lightning, notwithstanding the extent of the multi tude, for the depredators have lately mansauvered with great effect. Their troopsare marshalled in such a man ner, that at the word of command they Lwow themselves into position, favourable to the escape of any of their pursued comrades. PRIESTLY EFFEMIIIACYo—An inhabitant of St Andrew's Blackfriar's, appeared before the Lord Mayor, to answer a complaint against him for refusing to pay the Parson's Tythes—he staled that the Rev. Isaac Saunders refused to christen his child, on the ground that he should take cold from the damp state of the christening pew, and lint having had what he termed a " legal notice." It appeared from the statement of the hatband that the lady (who had jest recovered from her confinement), bad been kept waiting in the said pew for upwards of au hour, and then was obliged to have tier child christened in allot her parish. 'lire Lord Mayor said he could tan enter into thecase, and the complain ant nmst pay tile tythe, or carry the case into thc Eccle siastical Court. BOW STREET. ARREST FOR H lon TREASON.—II will be recollected that dlllolipt the persons charged with being concerned with the Cato-street conspiracy, was a man named John Palin, who was often mentioned in the evidence upon trials of Thisdewood and others. lie escaped at die time, and contrived to elude the vigilance of the Police, notwithstandiog the most Strellllotls cscrtiuns were made for his ap i nehensitm. It was supposed that he had escaped nut of the country, but within the last two or three days Ruttiven, Wencott, and Ellis, the officers were an active search or him. At a late hour on Fri day evening the two last mentioned olliceia proceeded to Short's Gardens. Drury Lane, where they saw the pri tuner issue from a house, and secured him. On his being brought to this office, Mr. Birnie was sent for, and oa his arrival, lie took a short examination as to his identity, anti Well asked the prisoner ths name. Pi iamer.—'• My name is John Palm. ' Mr. Birnie.—" Are you aware or the nature of the char a c upon which von are apprehended?' Prlsoner.—" No,'l ant not at all eware of it." Mr. Binue then hammed him that be was charged hint with being concerned with Tlintiewood,'fidd, slid ethers, in conspiracies fur wnich they were tried and executed. The prisoner said—" I deny the charge and shall be able to rebut it." Mr. Birnie then made out a warrant of commitment, and the prisoner was conveyed its a coach, well-guarded to the House of Correcaon. He is a tall wall of meagre aspect, and shabbily dressed, ffirmerly a soldier in tie List Lonaon - On Tuesday night last, some fellows discharged a pistol down the urea of Mr. Baker, picture dealer, iii St. Martin's-lane, mid broke i G pane 6 of glass in the kitchen window; :► quantity of sin:.►l shot was scat tered along the kitchen. A reward of 51. is oitiled f.r any of the fellows who cumuritted 11:e net. The following is an affecting instance of severe Ms tress, aggravated by the mischievously exaggerated reports of improvemenis in the cotton-trade of Glasgow : " One day, last week, a stranger, in a miserable forlorn condition, and whose ' tonerit.g frame' was scarcely able to blippori itself, was oh,eive4 by some workmen near the will of Johnston, In Annandale, to droll nown on the high roan. A 4 first lie teas sitiloae.i to be (lead, as no pulsation was discoverable; but, nn being re moved to the miller's house, he was placed before good fire, his body was chafed, ant! as animation beam to return, a few tea-spoons Mil or oatmeal and water were introduced down his throat. In a snort time he was 60 much revived, that he suddenly se:aed the basil' that held the meal and water, and ravenously devoured the contents. It) about an hour's time, he was enabled to Mimi» his humane preservers, that he was a calico printer, who had gone Iron% Pieston to Glasgow in search of work; being disappointed, anti on Iris retort) to England, necessity had compelled him to sell his great coat and other parts of his clothing. His funds ut last failed hint, and he had not lOr three dap tasted any Mod, except a turnip that he found on the toao. Such was the simple but affecting wiry of this 'tour uran ; the miller and his family afforded In:i, e‘ery attennon, and at parting on the next morning (h..i.ein a theti sullicieni ly recovered to be able to resume I itittriley), ',resettled him with it, shillings, that be had col!ecteett fur Mtn in the neighbourhood.

The loss cannot be ascertained till Mrs. F.'s return, as no one was acquainted with what was left in -the house but themselves. A fiddler depredation was likely to be efictell on the following night on the furniture, had not this discovery taken place. The house stands by itself, but at a very short distance there are reveral houses, streets, &C. and nearly close to Selliy's Howl, Greco Bank. PROVIDENTIAL Pit ESER•ATIoN.—The Irish packets being all on other side of the Channel on Saturday the 3d of October, a small vessel was en4aged at Uuuulute to convey a mail to Milord. She was navigateil by lour men, and two gentlemen and a lady embraced tile op portunity of coining over in her. When about midway,. a violent storm cattle on, and the crazy bark was soon stripped of her sails and part of her rigging. its this atvutl dilemma, it was discovered that tine crew were all completely ignorant where they were, or how tiny should act, and the most absurd and contradictory opi nions prevailed ainutigst them. All however, agreed in the probability of tiwir being speedily buried in tile deep. After consulting the passengers on the course to he steered, from venom they could receive little or no nifiri mation o: advice, these four worthless fellows finally abandoned all charge of the ship, had recourse to litio;, and at leogt.l became wraps its deer, leaving the pas sengers its agony of mind easier to be conceived than described.

OUTRAGE.—A brace of handsome pointers (value 35 guineas) ran from their master a few oats back into a wood in the neighbourhood of Tittleshall, in Norfolk, when a fellow who sometimes assists the keeper to kill rauhits, was seen to follow them with a double barrelled gun, and as soots as he was in he tired at one, who came out shrieking and wounded, he then tired the other barrel, and, as he staid in the wood a little time, and was there again in the afternoon, it is conjectured that the other was shot dead, and is eon ceoried, as it nag not been seen or heartl of since.
