It behoves parents and gnardinns, theiefore, to watch carefully over the watch less, and not permit him to drink the cup of pleasure to the dregs, hut wisely reserve it pottion for manhood and old age. We are no advocates for severe restraint. Yonng people require, and Will be the Letter foe, a moderate degree of indulgence in the feast and frolic of the holydays; but this most always be ithin the bounds of doing themselves injury. A nice irk plain pudding, or a Christmas pie, is a temptation to e4rge the stomach beyond its three pints, which few holy shy youths can withstand, but which TAY speedily bring • feVers or •iollanunations which nothing will subdue. These good old Knglish dainties, indeed, are exceedingly 111 adapted and very prejudicial to the young as well ss to the invalid, ito , vever much they may suit the. uninjorable stomach of a fanner or a fox hunter, or of scientific ems. . tetirs of goqd living, like ourselves, who know how to enjoy good cheer, and come off harmless. Now we advise, by way of tnevltsrriox of 'evil, that only a measured portion, according to the most waryjndement of the carver of the pndding, should he allowed to each holyday plate, which is on no account 1.4 .he replenished a second time; and. in the second place, we prohibit ;di wine or punch to he taken, it being a gross mistake that it aids in the digestion of the, pudding.—So f ir•from aiding. it will certainly retard and mar the diges tion, by hardening-the piadding,• and crisping the coats of aba Stomach, and of course preventing the proper flow of the digestive fluid, while the appetite will be whetted into liainger for a fresh helping, and good nature may be in dived to grant it, contrary to Sound jnilgment, and with infallible •iiijory to the health. No wine or pitch, there fare.-for holyday folks and invalids, unless (lie it under stood) they give up an ounce of their roast beef or plum ioiding • for every glass of wine or lmat. In that eine, the quantity of gastoir juice diminished by the wine, will late lees biter or pild, 4 in t : to dieest, snil the ca.e will stand niochthe same as with the larger portion of heel and pud dieg oithont the wine. Thirdly, we pr.iiiibit all romping, *rstiming. or violent-exercise, for at least three hours after tlineer, ihouali we have no objection to " laugh and be Gt."- to jesting, qnizzine, or soap dragon. What will our 'lacer bottle friends say to the following: On thin important point (qnoth our Ortirk,) it may he neredettry just to reprav,• that the stomach tic hold only three pints; and_ whorvor imports mere *hail this quantity. must lay his account with finding a glut in the market.' _ _ _ On the effect on the liver of too much artificial lie.it, we are told that " the wretched epicures of the continent, when they want a nice turkey's liver, eultrged by Aware to gis lime% its natural hulk, nail the poor creatures feet to a hoard, to prevent it front using any exercise, place it Fiefore a hirer fire, and feed it on grain, mixed with hot spires," It is not, howev, r (adds our Orcv.le), to he com iioithiri, !fist insit) l are no less barbarous to themselves than ttei epicates are to the poor turkeys,--rxercising. their limiss no more than if they were nailed ; whit." they live in I.Ut Worn., k-ep late hours, aid feast on spiced meats and st•ong tiq"urs. Who can wonder that the livers of such . will, like that of the turkey, rapidly enlarge by disease, and bfftlit them at lath to oppressive dropsy, and a .premature 'rave ? . • SURREY WINTER ASSIZet_ 4 4.—WEDNisDAY, DEC. 3 (Btfore Mr. Baron fit:lA.ooo 11URG1ARY. • titer; ..

One of the men fell upon him and held him. he then fired his pistol, and the ball entered the neck of his assailant, who loosened his hold and surrendered. Some of Pratt's party then called out to him to keep the wonnded man down. That person was the prisoner Dare. A des perate conflict then emoted between the poachers and Pratt's party. The former fought with the but end of their ?tins, and shattered them over the beads of the litter, who without using their pistols, overcame the poachers, several of whom ran off. The gamekeeper swore to Dare, Gunner, Wheatley, and Williams, who were secured on the spot. Mr. Justice PARK summed np the case with great im partiality, and suggested to the Jury every topic which was at all favourable to the prisoners. Ile told them, that in point of law, if only one of the prisoners was armed with intent to kill game, still they must, in the spirit of this Statute, be considered as being all armed. This had been solemnly decided by the l'welve Judges. If they had any doubt of the prisoners' intention fro:n the evidence adduced, the prisoners were entitled to the benefit of the doubt. The Jury retired for about half an hour, and returned all the prisoners Guilty, but recommended Windebank, trud wick, and Holdforth to mercy, on account of their passive comluct in the affair. Mr. Justice PARIS, in an impressive address to the prisoners,aid m adverted in strong terms on their outrageous conduct.—Whatever doubts he himself might have original ly entertained as to the Statute on which they Were in dieted. he'could . not but now think that, as applied to their case, it was. highly beneficial, considering the desperate lengths to which their low habits had incited them. (here were shades of difference in their respective cases, which he should certainly notice in the judgment he should pro nounce. Towards some of them the severity of the -law must he carried to its utmost extent. Under all the circum stances, he adjudged Dare, Gunner, and Wheatley, to seven years transportation, and t he remainder of the prisoners to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. George 11l itthews, John Vickery, Thomas Twiny, .and Thoinas Monk, were indicted on the same statute as in the last ease, for being found armed with guns, in a wood, with intent to kill game, in the parish of Cobham, on the night of the 19th November, and assaulting James Prince. Th e Jury found the prisoners'ol.oellty t• and Vickery, bring the most active in the ttanfOnit, was sentenced to., seven years transportation; Matthews was sentenced to 18 months, Twiny to six months, and Monk to three months' imprisonment and hard labour in the house of Correction.

Sir THOMAS TURTON addressed the Court in the name of the Grand Jury, and informed the Learned Judge that they wished to bring a matter worthy of notice to his Lordship's attention. At the last Assizes the Grand Jury had been informed that certain persons. had compounded a felony, anti the Grand Jury had thought it their duty to direct the High Cons.able of the parish in which the transaction took plaCe, to prefer an indictment against the alleged offenders for a misdemeanour. The High Gonsta ble had defrayed the expense of the proceedings out of his own pocket, and the Grand Jury wished to know whether, under such circumstances, the High Constable could be defrayed out of the county rates. Mr. Justice PARK confessed his regret that he could not allow the constable's expenses in a case of this description, which was only a misdemeanor. His Lardship hid had frequent occasion to lament a deficiency in the law is this respect as to cases of this deoomination, and he, fee one, should be happy to see misdemeanors placed on the same footing with felonies; but as the law at present stood, bb Witt no authority to award the expenses. Thomas Hack and Edward Wrigiti, the defendants in the case just alluded to, were indicted for unlawfully compounding a prosecution against Richard Hack and Parker Wright, their sons respectively, fur robbing one George Stone, on the King's highway, by paying to the latter a sum of moneyfor forbearing to prosecute. • Mr. LAW appeared for the prosecution, and opened the case, but as Stone; who had been indicted with time defen dants, did not appear, he was unable to establish the fact of the alleged robbery, and therefore the merits of the cast were riot gotle into. Mr. Justiee PARK directed the Jury to find the defend. anti Not Guilty, for want of evidence. Verdict—" Not Guilty." "Jahn Pugh was charged on the Coroner's Inquisition with feloniumily killing and slaying a person unknown on the 18th December, at St. Agnes the Martyr. Mr. ADOLPHCS appeared for the prisoner,. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner was drinking at a public house, No. 10, Upper Thames street, iu the afternoon of the ISO inst. The deceased came in very drunk, and became quarrelsome, lie charged the prisoner with robbing him, and abused him in gross teams. The prisoner put him out of the house into the street ; sl.ortly afterwards the prisoner went out, and the deceased began again to abuse and charge him with robbery. The prisoner pushed him with his hand, and he fell on the pavement. '1 he de ceased, who was very drunk, attempted to get up,. but in doing so, fell again in the middle of the street, and at the eionient, a wagon coming by, went over his body, crushed all his ribs, and broke his unifier jaw, He WAS carried to St.Tholnas's Hospital, and died in two hours. Upon tkii evidence the case ag4net the, prisoner waistopped, and the Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. POLICE. Mansion Ilonse.—A letter was handed to the Lord Mayor from three shipwrecked seamen, requesting his Lordship's in terference with the owners of the ship in which they had been wrecked, for their pay, 'which was a considerable item due, and- Which they apprehei.ded woul d be ke p t out of Weir reach , unless, through the interposition of the Lord Mayor, the owners should be induced to give a merciful consideration to their ease. The Loan Mnvon, having ordered the seamen into big pre sence, asked them who had written the letter. With some re luctance they informed his Lordship that a schoolmaster was the writer, and that they had paid him the sum of. 6s. for his labour. The letter was written in the most florid style, and bore strong evidence of the nand of a pedagogue. The Loan MAYOR said that it was a practice wi•lt some impostors to assure any unfortunate man, whose distress ren dered en application to a magistrae necessary, that nothing could be done without a well written letter, which was sure to soften the heart and open the pocket. Innumerable letters had been handed to him, penned in the most nonsensical manner.— It was neeessaryto mention this circumstance, in order to ceution poor people against such imposition. It was well known that the Chief Magistrate was always aceessinte; and all applicants stood a better chalice of having injuries re dressed by verbal application than with the assistance of such contemptible knaves. The seamen then said, that their ship had foundered on an island near North America, and that after having undergone all the inevitable consequences of such a calamity, without being pain a halfpenny, they were now told that there was no= thing for them. At first, the owners promised them their pay from day to day, but their claim was now totally rejec , ed. 'Cite LORD Niavoe sent to the owners. desiring their at tendance at the Mansion House, to answer the charge. A'yoong man, named Phillips, was brought up charged' with having stolen a chest of 'tea out of a warehouse in Lime street. ' - . . . It was stated - that the prisoner and two other ow* Slier haying made atiose observation of the'. premises. 'ea* g!te eltegt of lea, which ley- edible the door. The' OHM Os the perion appolitted to carry ti a chest, and he ran off, bit was pursued and over:aken before he got to the !whim of Lime-street. Finding that he had no chance of eacaping Witk ' the chest, he threw it down, and, .Or the purpose of aerating a retreat, aimed it at the feet of tor pursuer, who immediatelg tumbled over, but was nevertheless ahle to catch the thief. I 'lite prisoner *as fully committed forma'. Row STREET.-- Charles Hides, a pawnbroker, was . 1 en mmoned for refusing to make compensation for damage done to certain property entrusted to his care in pledge. he property in question belonged to a Mr. Francis ASeiotti, a schoolmaster, residing in Hampden Street, Somers Town, who in consequence of pecuniary ember rassinent had been obligated to pawn the principal part of his household furniture , consisting of several valuable beds, tables, chairs, &c. which upon being redeemed, were found to have been most shamefully injured, the tables being so.. scratched, and otherwise damaged, that I their value was considerably decreased, and the chairs broken and cracked in such a manner that to all appearance violence hail been used to effect it. T.'e case had been bet partially gone into, when Mr. Matteis, who attended on behalf of the complainant, requested that the resent proceeding might be withdrawn, as he felt bound in justice to his clients to advise them to seek for a recom pense in another way, as he felt not the least doubt but that equivalent damages could be obtained by bringing an action, the case being of such ass aggravated ware. This 'west was of course complied with, and the parties retired to wait ulterior proceedings. lIATTLIN GARDEN.— liesterdav an application was made to the Sitting Magistrate. Mr. ROGERS, en behalf of a tnaa named George Aightiogak. who wts bronght up on tin: turday evening in the custody- of two Bow street patrol, and remanded by Mr. LAING, the Magistrate, until Satter -day next; f t he circumstances ender which Nightingale was arrested are in substance as follow :—The patrol being on their rounds, met Nightingale about six o'clock on Saturday evening with a bundle in his hand, at the farther end of tloswell street road ; his character and companions not be ing of the very best order, they were induced to appret bend him upon suspicion and bring him before a Magis trate; against that measure he stronglyprotested as illegal, and threatened them with scions ; but the patrol were impenetrable either to threats or entreaties, and the gentle. man was intrbditced to the presence of Mr. Laing, as al ready stated.. His person was searched, an I be bad about him at the time Batik Stock to the amount of front 2 to 3,0001. besides forty sovereigns and a valuable gold wa.cli; the bundle consisted-of several canvas bags, " curb," said the patrol, " as are generally used by burglars for convey. ing plate from gentlemen's houses." Several officers spoke of the prisoner as a person who was known to associate with common thieves. It• was proved that the canvas was purchased, and two securities of 5001 each were offered yesterday for the pat sower. As there was no further evidence against him, lie was discharged. We are in a great measure induced to notice this affair by information that an indirect offer of payment for its suppression was made to a Reporter. MARLBOROUGH STREET.—JOIIII6OII, the informer, who has for souse time beets so active in bringing to justice delinquent bakers, & c. is likely to meet with an industrious rival In the person of a Mr. Tucker, who yesterday mad, his appearance at this office, followed by a long train or bakers, against nhom be had preferred informations, I chiefly for selling bread without weighing it in the pre sence of their customers; but in the management of his Cases, he did not show that minute acquaintance with time law, or knowledge of the mode of properly wording in formations, which distinguish Mr. Johnson. On this occasion, Mr. WILLIAMS attended as solicitor lon the part of the bakers, and took various objections to I the form and wording of the ioforosations, the principal of which was, that the informal ons being grounded on the 4th clause of the act, which inflicts a penalty of 40t. for each offence, but which also exempts from the penaltieS of the act, all bread known by the name of fancy bread, should have stated 0 the same not.being fancy bread." Upon this and all the other points,the Magistrates ruled in favour of Mr. Williams's objections, so that in this speculation Tucker must have been a considerable loser. as he cannot lay fresh informations against .the same parties, the act stating that all such informa tions must be preferred within 4S bouts after the offence. and having had to pay 35. costs on each information that was preferred. Not a single conviction took place. GAMBLERS AND ROB atis.--Yesterday Bea Burnt, the re nowned pugilist, landlord of the Rising Sun, Great Windmill street, Golden square, was charged at this office, by Richard Dexter. a t out of place, with having been concerned in robbing him of eight sovereigns, &c. Burns was accompanied to the office by a Mr. Serjeant, who came to give evident:els his behalf. Dexter, on being sworn, deposed that be went to the Rising Sun about trio o'clock on Monday, and remained there till 11. While he was there he was invited to play a game of All fount fur a bottle of wine, to which he consented, having Burns for his partner, and Serjeant and a man named Evans for his op. ponents. Dexter lost, and took a sovereign out of a purse, at that time containing nine sovereigns, to pay for the- wine; Burns returned him 14s. After-some time, Evans, a professed gambles, reminded Mr. Dexter of a debt of arnsene, to the amount of which he hail forgotten to pay. Dexter disputed the Validity of the claim ; Evans seized his hat in satiifaction; a slight setae ensued. and Dexter fell on the floor, Surrounded. by the whole party. When he sees able to get up, he missed', his purse with the eight sovereigns, and observed Mr. Burnt kept his hand clenched, and refused to open it. On a tight being brought in by Burns, he, pointed to the prow:tittles . purse under a table. bet it was void of cash. Burns, on being asked what he had iu his clenched hand. replied. " Dick, do you mean to accuse me of robbery ; if you do, I'll .beat your' head to a mummy as I did Yorkshire Jack's." Mr. Reeve' confirmed Dexter's account, and added, that a search had been made, and Dexter himself closely examined. Mr. Serjeant then volunteered his evidence in favour allures, though he was cautioned by the Magistrate to be careful, as he was one of the party, how he eriminated himself. lie ad mitted having played cards, but denied being a party to the plundering transited ,n. Burns denied having played at All foists, and as positively denied the robbery. Serjeant was recognised by Sir George Farraot as having been a candidate for a vacoht place of police officer, and reminded hint that .he mist have keowa card playing. was ~He thought % how., ever, that his character was quite as good its that of the prose.' cater; who was concerned in the same illegal transaction. — Dexter persisted in swearing that he thought Burns and Evans concerned in robbing him, and that the candidate for the police officership came in for his share of the winnings. Burns was committed for re examination, and Mr. Serjeant was ordered to find two substantial housekeepers to answer for his re appearance the ensuing Tuesday, in a character somewhat less respectable than that of a witness in favour o, another. la the course of the examination, the Magistrate' hinted to Mr. B. that the character of his house was not uus swn to them.
