The Select Committee appointed to coneider`of the several Returns noade tt the Order of the House in 1094, relative to the sums .Aseeseed, Levied, and Expended, an ;lucent pf the. Poor in • England and Wale's; and to report an Abstract of the shine, to. gather withttbeir Observations thereon, to the Houre, have, put erten, to the Order of - the House. coroidered the Matters to them referred, and have agreed to the following Report : Theamount of the Poor Rates levied in the year ended on the • 43th of 31arch 1824, was 0,833,6i01. This charge is less than that ▪ of the preceding year. but the diminution is very iccurosidersble. I • la comparison with the year 11117-18, which has been noticed in . teenier Reports at the year ot highest ltmount. there loan been a de. t raise of 2.486.8101. but compared with 1821.3. the returns of the "wog levied in 18Z-4 ezhibit a declension of no more than 5 0 02-1 . The'n'e comparisons refer to the total sums levied, including aunty Rate% and other charges not appertaining to the Poor. These other charges, which in the hist triennial period had been on the increase, have within the last three year* bier/gradually reduc ed; but they still amount to more than 1.200.000. • The expenditure upon the Poor in 1813.440 p short of the ammmt ot 1832 3 by 38,7421. only.

The expenditune in the year 1823-24 being 5,734,216/., is lower than that of any yeas since 1813.16, and only exceeds that of 1816-16 by 9,7101. The most remarkable circunwtanoe attending the Returns of 1823.4 is, that although there has been, upon the whole, a dimi nution in the amount, the diminution has hren much mote partial than in former yeast; so that while one ('runty (Leicester) exhi. brut a - decrease ot eleven per cent. as compared with the erecedirg year, another County ((Vilts) returns an intense of eight per rent. ; and the unfavourable difference in nineteen other Counties, is such as to reduce the diminution, in the whole of England and Wales, to one per Cent. • The Counties in which the Poor Rates hare increased. OTC Bed. toed, Meeks, Cambridge, Dorset, Essex, Lincoln, Norfolk, Ox. ford, Southampton, Safi:lk, Warwick, Wilts,Cardigan, Gurnee. then, Carnarvon, Detobioh, Flint , 3lerioneth, Pembroke, and Rad nor. The rate of increase vaties; it is, as already stated, eight' per cent. in Wilts ; seven in Berke and Suffolk ; six in Southainp top ; five in Norfolk ; font in Essex ; three in Bedford and Car rnarthen, and less than three in the other Counties r.ntned. The only two Counties (Anglesey and !Sefton) in which in 1822- 3 the expenditure was Ineptr than in 1821.2, now exhibit a decrestee of expenditure. In these, and in Buckingham, Cornwall: Devon, Durham, Hereford, Hertford, Huntingdon, Kent, Mid:nevi, Monmouth, Northumberland, Nottiegham, Salop, Somerset. Stat . - ford,Surrey, ffuesex," 11'orceater, York, Glamorgan and Mont gomery, it is leas than five per cent.; it is fiveper cent, in Chester, Cumberland, Derby and Westmorland ; six in Gloucester; seven in Lancaster and Northampton ; cight.in Rutland ; and (as before stated) eleven in Leicester. As compared with 1817.18, the rate of diminution 'cies from ems per eent. in Huntingdonshire to forty•five per cent. in Lan. Ileeeees Leicester and Worcester; to the causes to which it is to be ascribed the check which has been put to the progressive diminu tion of the Poor Rates. Your Committee will no further Terre than by citing an observation frorn the Report of tut yetr :—" The de. gree in which the amount of the Poor Rates is affected by the vari. atiun of the price of wheat, will be more correctly ascertained when . the'expeneiture of 1823-4 is known; because, in that )ear, wheat rose stain to an average, according to the legal returns, of 665. &I." Your Conenottee hare inserted in the Appendix, a table, in which the Count's, are classed according to the degree in which their Re turns exhibit reveftively, a favourable or an unfavourable result ; they have ale, framed a table, similar to one appended to the Re port of !let year, in which a calculation Is made of the expenditure upon the Pa •r in each County, as compared with the population. I Angleeet is still the only County which shows an encreased rate ' per head, as compared with 1812.13. Sussex all appears as the County in which the expenditure upon the Poor l ears the highest proportton to the number of the people; and Lancaster contioues oat the other extremity of the scale. As the year now under review complete. a Triennial Period, Your Committee have appended, in the hope that the House will order them to be printed, a Paroch oil Abstract of the Returns. I They have also extracted the more remarkable of the observations' which the Pariah Officers have annexed to their Return,. And for the convenience of reference, they have added to this Report a Table which was appended to the Report oflait year, and intended to distinguish the descriptions of property upon which the Rates are levied. DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION. Yesterdzy afternoon, at three o'clock, a dreadful alarm was given an the preenisev end back workshops of Mr. Cruzett. ratter and gilder. in consequence of a sudden explosion of flame, which. catch. Eng some combustibles, spread instantly upwards, and the work !ten had only time to make a hasty retreat before the lames spread throughout. the floor of the workshops, end communicated to the tire building, extending left and right, back and front, through the range of Mr. Cruzettbi building, and the hay-loft and stables of Mr. Woolley, the livery.stable keeper, in the rear of Titchfield street. From the suddenneseof the alarm great apprehersionx for the valuable stud of Mr. Woolley took place, but by great exertion and posonal risk they sere all rescued. The flames receiving no cheek bunted onwards with irresistible violence in a direction N.N.E. by lti.W., the wind from the first quarter favouring the destructive element. Plenty of water was obtained, but the flames unicorn:- palely received no check, in consequence of the absence of the en. gives, which did not arrive for Italian hour, when they came in great numbers, but the conflagration had obtaired so alarming an aseentlarcy that in lees thereat, hour the whole of theneighbeurhord was in flames. The work of dAtruction spread over the houseaon the right of lelargaret.street, Mortimet-oreet, Titchfleld.street, and Great Portland-street, and a Mews behind, including in the im- Mense tuin the houses of Mr. G. R. Wales, turner, Messrs. King, the cht.makers, the factory of Mr. Suielart, the pianoforte-menu facture., the house of Messrs. Hunt, neatly the entire of the thu ber-yard of Mr. Stoats, who is absent at Meetings. Mr. Fisher's, Mr. Wyatt. Mr. Pinells, Mr. Pearce, perfumer, Mr. Read, and others, in Well-street. At four o'clock the fire burnt with tremendous fury, although Dearly thirty engines were in full play upon the burning pile. Un fortunately most of the houses being in the rear, it was impossible to work whiten) , effect for a length of time, until the hose was in troduced through the buile:inge, and the firemen. with the most praiseworthy daring, risking their lives uncle' the burning ruins.-- At a short time be f ore four o'clock, the moat distressing scenes were witnessed in the streets in which the houses on fire were situated, by persons appearing with bedding, furniture, apparel, dec. rushing to and fro; some of them with infant children, endeavouring to save themselves and little property; and the immense crowds col sleeted on all sides, added to the general confusion and distress, caused by the calamity. Some active individuals and constable collected together, and formed avenues through the crowd to assist in the escape of the inmates of the houses, and save their property. But the immense body of flame, actually extending amnas the Mires, formed an awful and fearful canopy, which created such universal terror, that the rush of the populace from the burning streets was tremendous. Fortunatey at that moment, a strong detachment of the 2d Regiment of Foot Guards, under the eormitand of Captain Powys arrived on the spot, and under the direction of Mr. Conant. Mr. Dyer, and other Magistrates, were so placed, that the firemen continued their exertions without much interruption. The detachment being formed in line soon cleared Mortimer, Margaret, and port of Wells streets, and, forming a kind of square, firmly kept a Mitten that was not broken during the continuance of the ens meow catastrophe, and added much to the saving of the adjoining bosses In the rear of the houses we have above named the tire tlegod with tremendous fury, sod soon caught the back of Mar gore -stteet Chapel, and four other houses, including the Rear and Drummer public-house, and the remainder of Mr. Stout's timber. pate,. By much exertion the valuable pipes, dec. of the Chapel organ were paved, and some plate and valuable furniture was borne awry. About six o'clock, the wind slightly veering to the N.E., the houses in lilittimer.street, fire in 'lumber, soon were included in the general rain, and the flames extended on all sides with alarm. log fury for a great extent, and bidding defiance to every effort to check their fury. At length some of the walls fell in with a tre mendous crash, and the water being ILA in great quantities, the fire became somewhat subdued ; but as fast as the Litres 'tank in one position a fresh danger arose in another, and it seemed impossible to check it. However the firenien persevered to preserve the four following houses, and succeeded in a trifling degree in re ducing the Ham.. and preventing any further extension of this dreadful calamity. which has upon the smallest calculation caused the destruction of above 21.111,041191. worth of property.

I Alt. JEnv/s, for the deleittlani, said a few words in mitigation of punishment. Mr. Tat.tronD, on the part of the prosecution. said that thc un fortunate bid who stood in the situation of prosecutor, was a total sarauger in this country, without either a relation or a friend ; but this circumstance, lie was sure, would rather operate on the minds ofeheirLardships to his favour than to his prejudice ; he hoped theethe Court would, by its judgment. say, that even a poor black lad, like the prosecutor, should not be unstilted with impunity, particularly when it was recollected that the defendant wee not sa tisfied with striking him in the • irritation of t:te moment,but that lie afterwards ticked him up, and then, in a pretneelitatedenensicr, inflicted punislatient r.: him. Mr. Justice Bev Letv, in passing judgment, said, that even ad mitting that this lad had behaved improperly, yet the conduct of the•defentint had also been highly improper : the rights of all persons must be protected ; the judgment of the Court therefore was, that the defendant do pay a fine of 21W. to tl.e Kirg.• After the judgment was pronounced, the defendant, in broken English. endeavoured to address the Court : he said, that it their Lordships knew this boy, he was sure they would not punish him st all, for he was the worst buy in all the parish, as the church warden would certify. THE SING R. SAMUEL HARDT, JOHN WEBB, SEN., AND JOHN IV EBB, JUN. Thin wi•s an indictment preferred by the Mayor and Corpelretion of the City of London, against the detendents fir a nuisance, arising from certain gas works erected at Woolwich, from which a quantity of poisonous mutter ran into the River Thames, whereby the fish were destroyed, and the fishermen on the river were grievously injured. The trial took place before the Lord Chief Baron, at the last Kent Assists; when the three defendants were convicted ; but Mr. Linsey, who was also is cluded;in the indictment, was acquitted, in order that his evidence might he taken. Mr. GututEr now prayed the judgment of the Court against the defendarts. The affidavit of Mr. Hardy stated. that he hail formerly had an interest in the gee works, and ouperintendel the!doperations ; but that previously to the trial of the indictment, he had disposed of the whole of his interest therein ; and that, if any nuisance then ex isted, he had no means whatever of abating it. The affidavits of the other two defendants stated, that they had only been employed as labourers at the works; that they had both discontinued to work there before the trial ; and that if any nuisance rusted, they had ro means of abating it. Mr. BRODERICK, en behalf of the defendants, said, that the Lord Chief Baron at the trial observed, that this was a civil rather than a criminal prosecution, as the object was merely to have the 1 t sauce abated. lie agreed with his Lordship , and he was there. fore surprised that the defendants should be brought up for judg. ment. at could only be for the purpose of obtaining rook which lie trusted :heir Lordships would net allow, as none of the parties had any interest eitaicver in the premises at the time of the trial, and they could not therefore have abated the nuisance, for which alone the indictment was preferred. The evidence was altogether vague end general; it was stated, that some Mot:mends of fish were destroyed; but tiny could mention no specific time when such a circumstance occurred. There was, in fact, a total misapprehension as to the nature of the nuisance; the drain which was complained of had no rommuuicatiort• with the gas works : there was no nuisance at preterit. . Mr. Justice fievi.tv—lfave you any olijection that a person should see wittier such is the fact a IlnonEatcx—Not the' least, my Lord. Mr. GURNEY believed the nuisance had at length been abated ; bat it persons who erected gas manufactolies would not take tare that nuisances did not @list they had no reason to complain it those pewit s,whom they inure d Isms-et:tett them for it. It had been said by his Learned }fiend that neither of the defendants - had any interest in the works, ar.d ought not therefore to pay the costs. Tne tact was, he had submitted to the Learned Juege at the trial, that Mr. Liresay ought not to be acquitted until all the evidence had been heard againat the other defendants ; but the pertinacity of his Lem n d Friend prevailed, and the consequence was, he &amine(' Mr. Liresay's acquittal before it was ascertained that Mr. Hardy hsd disposed of his interest in the premise.. Had the Learned Baron fo.lowed what he (Mr. Gurney) humbly submitted was the usual course, Mr. Livesay would not have been acquitted, because, as it was well known he had an interest in the rrernime., the prose- cutor would Lave ceaainly secured the costs by obtaining his conviction. The COURT s , ggested that the !woke ought to go before the Muter, t.r elae that Mr. biresay should give an und.rtaking to pay thr cots.

ATARTI N. This was a role nisi. obtained by the Attorney Genera last term, calling on the defendant to show canoe why an information in the nature of a quo warrant(' should not be tiled against him. In order to try the nght by which he held the situation of a capital Burgess for the Borough of %Vest Lone. The object of the parties in obtaining this rule was, to try the right of persons not timid ing within the Borough to hold the office of capital Burgess. A rule had been obtained by the Attomcy General last Michaelmas term, calling on the Mayor and Stewards of %Vest l.ooe to show cause why a mandamus should not brae, commanding them to enrol and swear in a person who was an in.. habitant of the said Borough, u a free Burgess thereof. This rule was obtained upon the principle, that under the chant, of Elizabeth, by which West Looe was made a Royal Borough, all the Inhabitants of the town were ipso facto members of the Corporation. In II ilary Term, caul* was shown against the rule, on which occasion the cuutitution of the borough and the history of the Corporation was very elaborately entered into by Mr. Adam, who oppored the rule, anti the Attorney-General in sup ' port of it ; when the Court discharged the rule, on the ground that the words " being inhabitant' of the Borough," which were in the charter were words of qualification, and meant only that before a person could be made a member of the Corporation, it was necessary that lie should be an inhabitant; and that a man did not necessarily become a member of the Corporation by becoming a householder, and introducing himself into theßbrough. In order, however, to hare the question tried, the present rule was obtained, upon the ground that three of the capital Burgesses, who elezted Mr. Martin a capital Burgess, were not inhabitants at the time of the election. Mr. ADAMS this day chewed cause against the rule, and eon. tended, that tilt the Charter required ass, that in order for persona to be quslified to be chosen as iatpital flurgesses, they should be re. sidmts. but it was bot necessary that they should continue to be so after their election. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, In reply, argued, that by the words of the Charter, and the 32d Geo. II I. it was requisite, that the capital Burgesses should not only be residents at the time of their own election, but also ever after, in order to entitle them to the privileges of a capital Burge's-. The Learned Counsel was about to enter into details, when he was interrupted by The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, who said, that they had already heard the facts ; and whatever might be the result of the trial, he thought facts shown were sufficiently important to require that the question might be sent to a Jury. The rule was accordingly made absolute. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Tussamr, Juxi 21. Siltivf in lento. DISCHARGe OF DEBTORS.

Sergeant Coons (on behalf of Mr. Wisby, late proprietor of Me Brut Jams Bull) opposed the dischatge of Howland, on the ground of alleged fraud. It appeared that all the effects of the pri soner had been taken in execution; that he was in durance; that a commission of bankruptcy had been sued ouparairtst him ; and that the property take.) in execution bad ht•en recovered by his a•signces. l'he questions of the Learned Counsel tended to show that the commission was collusive, anti that the prisoner had po pert y at the time he was first imprisoned. The counr over-ruled some question put to the prisoner as tending, if answered, to criminate him, for if the commission watt a collusive one, and he replied to the question, he made himself a party to a conspiracy. This was contrary to every principle acted upon in an English Court, for a man to give evidence against him. self. The prisoners took the oath prescribed by the Act, and were dis charged.

He requested them to desist from making such a noise at that hour; but Lord ilarborcrigh replied, that he would make we mach noise, and as long, as be thought proper; and they both still continued hal looing. lie then attempted teal" hold of Lord Harborough, alto was the most erns!, but both geestkerrien ran eff as' fast as they could, and set him at defiance. He pursued them, and came op with laord Harborough, whom he did not then know, at the door ,nf strm s 's Hotel, and seized him by the collar; but he . had no sooner done so. than he was Atwell in by rouse person from be_ hind, while having hold of his Lordship. to the passage of the hotel; and here his Lordship and the other gentleman who was with him, called out for a rescee; and Fervently a host of gentlemen came out from the coffee-room, dragged him in there, and set to beating him in a most tremendous tnanner. Lord Harborough called out fors poker, which was brought to him, by whom he could not say, and with this weapon his Lordship struck him repeatedly upon the hearLirfircting several desperate wounds, and lett him in a gore of blood; and his stick having been taken from him in the first ittstance, he had not the means awarding tiffany of the blows;, and it was with greet difiiculty that he was even able to spring his rattle, which, ho Lever, heat length succeeded in doing, and some other watchmen came to his assistance. While Lord Harborough was striking him over the heed with the' poker, and had him up against the staircase. Mr. Bailey, theother driendant present, %truck him also a blow with his fist in the fare. At one time he did rot expect even to get out of the house alive, for the violence of his Lordship's party was Rah that they had ready expelled toll the other watchmen, and closed the rrect.door ; leaving him (the com plement) inside, which had they done, he had no doubt but they would have killed him; indeed 'Lord Harborough frequently called out, " D—n him, kill him I let On kill him!" The poker which was used on this occasion by Lord Harborough was pu.k•uerd, and was bent nearly double by the violence of the :blows given with it. The complainant said, that limides the dreadful beating he re. ecived, he had his clothes, even milts very shirt, torn from his back, and the blood ran in streams down his body ; so severely was he injured that he was obliged to go to the Mount-street infirmary, where he had his wounds dressed by Mt.

Three other watchmen described the situation in which the cell plainant was placed, when they entered the hotel, as ntvat alarming. ...... In reply to the charge, the two defendants said, that any violence they had utted to the complainant ass only in sell-defence. The fellow, they said, had behaved most insolently and had had the presumption and the temerity to follow Lord larborough into the collie-room, and swore that he would take away from there to the watch-house, either dead or afire; anti it was in his rash and imphtlent attempt to do sn that lie got the blown of which he eau. pained.

The watchman, his bordahip said, might corn. plain of having his clothes torn, but he (Lord Hartorough) had his coat. waistcoat, and every thing else on him torn in ribbons. Mr. Bailey said that lie also had his clothes tattered in every part, and moreover he had been nearly choked; for one of the watchmen got his hands into his crarit, and twisted it until it was nearly all ()ter with him. As for the blow he struck the complainant, it was merely done to save Lord 11a/thorough from being anni hilated. Lord Harbomugh here referred to the head waiter at Stevens's Hotel, ■s to whether or not both himself and Mr. Bailey did not offer their mimes and address to the watchman. . ..—..... ....... ..... The waiter said. that certahily Mr. Scott, the proprietor of the hotel, offered himself several times to give the names and address. A watchman of St. James's pariah said, that he told the com plainant, before he entered the house at all, that the prisoner he had hold of was Lord liarlayough, and that he lived there. Every one about there, be said, knows, or at least has reason to know, his Lordahip.

Sir G.

Coroner, to inquire into the death of Mrs. Mary Jane Hag ford, a maiden lady, of advanced rats, who, for several years past, had, in conjunction with another lady, kept a highly reapeetable seminary at the above house, for the education of the junior branches of the nobility and gentry.
