Ilse CHAIRMAN said, that the best way would be to proceed by lle could not confine the woman fur insanity, as it would be imprisonment for life. 31r. PHILLIPS said, that the woman hail taken a particular holism into her Iliad that there was a charm in drawing blood, and put tier notion into execution, by wiiuuding Mr. Thornton's hand, which took a long while to heal. She had lately expressed a strong desire to repeat her cliarmiog operation, as being abso lately necessary to complete the enchantment. It was fur pro tection from this magic that 11r. Tlornton applied to the Court. The l'mAteMAN asked if a bib of indictment was not now before the Grand Jury ? .Nr. Pititties.—]'es. but— t a Ala what Inure can CW.I want?

Thornton was now called—On coming forward his ap ;earatice, which was Jahn Bullish and gigantic, excited bursts or Loiehmr. The CLIMB lea:4 Said, be thought the little woman was really more afraid than the complainant. (Laughter.) Her sister said she would be answerable fur Susan's behaviour in future if the Court would now forgive her. Ilex recognizance was Shen taken in 201. and the case was discharged John Watson, a tax.collector, was charged with assaulting Edward Cvans, an oil and coloorman when calling for 4s. Ikl. H,g the watch-rate due. It appeared that the tax-man hail called the dly before, and had some words with the colaurnian's wife, wod the vilittaman resented the next day, by ordering the of la..dei out of the shop. This led to a scuffle, in which the tax niaii Ilisuiled the colournum, threatening to murder and daineate lain. Mr. AboLones—A very arposite tom indeed fir a colour man ! (Loud laughter.) Mr. PHILLIPS—The colotirman means anuihaste, only he •I'ilolts the word. (Continued laughter.) Mr. AHoLtHus—A very pretty colouring, truly ! (Bursts of laughter.) It4becea Evans, a beautiful yellow-haired girl, was called to' prove the assault. On her going into the box, Mr. PHILLIPS isb moved, " There Mr. Adolphus is colouring for you now !--(Smiles, Washes, .ind laughter.) •• "Fis beauty truly blent, whose red and whi:e " Nature's own sweet and cunning hand laid an." Lross.examined by Mr. Avotrties.—Surely you did not go taco the shop for sand ?—No, Sir, I went for paint. Very proper. For rouge, I suppose; but a chandler's shop does not sell rouge.—(.l. laugh). How long was the defendant en the shop ?—A little time. As long as you were ander examination ? 'The CHAIRMAN—That has been tai long. Mr. Anot.runs—Shc is so pretty that I reel a pleasure in ask ing her questions. (A laugh.) This was really a trumpery case, but his Learned Friend had coloured it up into importance, by dint of oil paint and sand ! A tax-collector was a sail Yellow to John Bun, and he hid no doubt the case would be coloured up in the papers with all his Learned Friend's flowers of rhetoric. (A laugh.) It would afford a fine theme fur public-house debate ; the enormity of a um-gatherer going into a titan's shop, and there as -1 moulting him, alter taking his hard-earned gains ! and then drag- Phillips's him across the flour, strewed with hit own sand and Mr. Phillips's Bowers of rhetoric ! (Bursts of laughter.) The defendant was found Gni/ty, and lined :Ws.

He was aware that a compromise had been too often and improperly resorted to in gaming-tniuse transactions, but in this case it was one of morality, nut of injustice. The CHAIR MAN said, any person found an active tnemb , r of a gambling-house was equally liable as the proprietor. lie could not natopromise the interests of justice, but the parties might settle the matter themselves. . . After a abort conversation the prisoners were placed at the bar, and pleaded Nat Guilty, on which they wets acquitted, as Mr. Plullaps dee:ined to prosecute. !'OLICE'. MANSION HOUSE. ----- Yesterday, Mr. R. Thornton a shipowner acid merchant, resid r off at Old Swan-stairs, appeare d before the LOUD MAYON, upon an w.turrnation preferred under a meat Act of Parliament, charging /inn with haying refused to pay • seamen whom he had employe d. the wages which had become due. The case involved a question of rather is novel description and a great many persons engaged in 1 1 'nor:Lime business attended to hear the decision. _ . Mr. ROBINSON conducted the prosecution for the complainant, Edward Burns, who swore, that on the 24th of July last, having previously bee n applied to by Captain Moffitt, he went to the count. mg-house of the defendant, who engaged him to go as cook on board the Maria, a voyage to Batavia. Captain Moffat spoke of the defendant as owner, and the latter acted as such. He told wit. .ness that he vierabl_give him t"e same pay as the other men, which was twenty-six guildas, or 21. 4i. pet month. Witness agreed and went on board . The defendant came on board before they sailed, arid paid him three sovereign% in advance. She took on board a cargo of chain cables and anchors. and sailed fur Batavia. When they got out she hoisted Dutch colours to the first shill they met.— W mess had not seen her hoist Dutch colours before. Witness felt himself very uncomfortable on board, as all the crew except himself were Dutchmen: and when they got to Batavia, he requested that iss might be discharged, which was done with 'he consent of Miss Thornton, the sister of the defendant. She told hint that her bro.. thee, who wit.. the owner of the vessel, would pay him his wages._ She gave hint a paper, which he understood was a certificate of his discharge. He could not read. Captain Thatcher, of the Henry, sho was plasent, took it from him, and It.id never since given it back to him. He was immediately enrged by Captain Thatcher. and returned home with him. He was obliged to take the latter before a Magistrate, in order to obtain arrears of wages from him. NS lien witness presentinl himself on his return to Mr. Thornton's calming-fins:se the latter, after be had attended several time pm. *direly refused ' to pay him, and told hint that he might go to bell and seek redress. - Tins was the case fur the complainant, and as the ship has not r.'crned to England, *question arose whether the provisions of the dirt were applicable, except in eases where the voyage has been cJinpleted and the ship is actually in port. The Cityl.aw Authoritits were consulted, and they were of opi i,ou that the case did come within the meaning of the Act. Mr. Thomism, in his defence, denied that lie was liable, BS he is as not the owner, and had never acted othmwise than as the agent of the ship. ile denied also that the rase came within the jurisdiction of his Lordship, as the Act only related to British veisek, and the ship in question was a Acne ship. He as serted that the sailor w:oi perjured when he stated him to have acted as owner; he never did any such thing. Captain Main I.;red the seaman, and paid hint the three sovereigns. That th.: sidor had perjured himself was evident, as he must have known tkat the ship was foreign, for by the last Registration Art, the Captain and awo-thirds of the crew of every British ship must be ltutish. Captain Moiliit was called, but his testimony was objected ta by Mr. Robinson, on the ground that he WIIIS en interested wit lms; and the LORD Hama held the objection to be d. Thornton —C aptain Moffat, now tell his Lordship whether al, did rot pay this man the three sovereigns. Captain Moffat spunk his head, and replied that he did not re c.illect such a thing. The Loan Maven said, when the case came first before him the ground of defence wail; that the wages were refused b.ecause the seuman had no certiticate of his discharge. It was not now attempted to he deticd that his services had been received ; and, to avail paying him for them, it was alleged that the ease did n o t come within the Act. Now, looking at the equity of the case, he would ask whether this was an honest defence? Mr. Thomtim—No, it is not ; hut I ant not tha owner of the Jig, and nave: was. I have nothing to do with it. The stir had not behaved well ; hut if your l.ardrlup gives it as your opinion that he ought to be paid, Clown 31A:it will pay Lim. Mr. FOIIIN.Om, the Solicitor, said that the sailor had gone to great costs on obtaining justice, anti he would not consent to ace lit 111. debt without the costs. Mr. Thornton warmly denied that he was liable to oasts, neither was he liable at all, tor he never had the ship iu his charge. Nu agent was liable for the wages of seamen. Tht , boars MaToe—Sir, I believe that in every point of view, in law as well as in jwtiee, you are bound to pay this poor man. If c swears (and he is unamtratlicted by any evidence) that you were represented to him as the owner, and that you exercised the act. of an trifler with respect , to him. This I. an Act forrhe Ite:tef ul itinerate Seamen, which every respectable merchant trust wish w s-c brought into the moat perfect operation ; and how is a sailor to know who is the owner unless you, who have been poit t •ti out to tint by his Captain,. and have so acted, arc to be considered as arch ? Here a poor seaman on his return front his voyage, on ap plying for his weary its the person who engaged hint. is driven Con) pillar to post ; end unless he can obtain relief under this Acr, it is a nonentity for all useful purposes. As to his having behaved id, he is not to be deprived of his wages on a mere allegation of that kind; but if it were true, it is singular that Captain Thatcher should be so prompt. in obtaining his services. His Lordship then adjudged Mr. Thornton to pay the amount of the wages. 11r. rigor:, in addition to the amount tin watt ' es, submitted that Mr. Thurnion was bound to pay the full costs. The Solicitor wen teniered a bill of costa. The Cut cr t. E said, it was unusual to allow an Attorney :oats bltere a Magistrate, or any thins beyond the *willowy fix* of the oilier. The right of the euniplainant's Solicitor, under these circum. stances, to his costs, was considered to be a question of great int. portance, and it was veferrcd to the City Jaw Authorities, to say whether they egad be included in the ordtr. Mr. Thornton vehemently protested against these proceeding*, and said he should appeal to the Covet of Admiralty. The LORD MAYOR expressed his determination to issue his warrant to compel the payment of the wages. Mr. Thornton repeated, that he was not the owner of the ship, and said, on the Lord Mayor inquiring who was the owner of the sliM, that it belonged to Mr. West, of Antwerp. The Lo MAYORon asked how the poor man was to have known thin, and how he was to get at such an owner ? Mr. ROBINSON declared, that he pursued this case from feeling as well as from professional duty, and that he would see justice done to the pour man ; he would pursue it to the High CORD of Ad miralty, and compel Mr. Thornton to pay. 31r. Thornton..—lf he (the sailor) succeeds I will give bhn all my ships. Preparations having been made for issuing the warrant, the parties separated. GUILDHALL. Batas two GAS LAS: 1.1.—1 t is not generally known, and it perhaps may be important to the interests of the grown young gentlemen who indalge themselves at night in what is termed larking in the public streets, to inform them, as well as the parents of the idle boys who amuse themselves with throwing stones at each other, that by the City of London (las Light and Coke Company's Act, power is riven to the Magistrate, upon com. plaint before him of the wilful or wanton breaking of any of the gas lamps or lanterns, to inflict a penalty of three times the amount of the dama ge done, and in default to commit the offender to the House of Correction for any time not exceed. Mg three months ; and under this statute a mischievous little urchin, named William Field, was brought up yesterday before, the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman Seholey. He had been seen in Smithfield, with a parcel of other boys, throwing stones and oyster shells at each other, and though frequently admonished to desist, they continued their amusement until an oyster shell, from the hand of the boy Field, broke a square in one of the gas lanterns. Mr. Omens, the superintendent of the Gas Company, said the loss occasioned by these sort of tricks was very considerable, and he would almost venture to say there were thirty lamps broken in this way in Smithfield in the course of a week. The value of the , square broken was 29t1.; and the Alderman accordingly convicted die bey in the penalty of :is., being three times the amount. The mother of the boy readily agreed as to the propriety of his being punished, but declared her total inability to pay the penalty. She had s sick husband and three children depending wholly upon her personal labour. The Alderman directed her to make her appeal to the superin tendent and contractor, and in the sequel, out of comtniseratson to her family, Mr. Gronous cemented not to press for the. penalty ; and the boy, who seemed to be in a great fright at being sent to prison, was admonished and discharged. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Mr. Pitt, the Adelphi Auctioneer, who has so often appeared in Courts of Justice and Police offices, as his own 'vivo. cate, attended upon a summons to answer to an information under the Metropolis Paving Act, for having refused, upon proper notice bring given, to remove a certain railing erected in front of his house, the same being an obstruction. Mr. Stately, the surveyor to the Commissioners for the pariah of St. Martin, appointed under the Act of Parliament, was sworn, and deposed, that dlr. Pitt was the occupier of a house in Adam-street, Adelphi, anti that house, until lately, Imd, as other houses in the same street have, a list railing covering the area, over which foot passengers walked, as they had a right to do. '.Vithin the last two months 31r. Pitt had chosen to erect an upright railing, surround. ing the flat one, and of course shutting out the passage hitherto en joyed over the area. ' Mr. Pitt contended that the latter gentleman was not competent to exhibit the present information, lie not being legally appointed under the Statute.; or if he were, that he had vitiated that ap pointment by acting in violation of the law under which he was appointed. One section of the Statute enacted that no surveyor ap pointed under it, should be a unison, or a dealer in stones, or en. gaged in any . masonry work, or have any interest in any work of that descrip tion in the parish Mr which he was surveyor under the' Commissioners. Now he would ask Mr. Stutaly whether he had not, within the last two years, performed mason's work for Mr. Winchader, of Buckingham -street, one of the Commissioners of Pavements, and whether he had not delivered a till, charging 91. l and upwards, for that very work ? Mr. Stutely objected to answer this question. Mr. Pitt—But you roust answer it, Sir. )Ir. Stutely said he should still object to answer the question, and would throw himself upon the protection of the Magistrate. The Magistrate said, that if Mr. Stutcly hail offended against the Statute in the way insinuated by Mr. Pitt, he was liable to heavy penalties, and an itiforniation might be exhibited against hint ; and that being the case, he could nu: be called upon to answer the question. Mr. Pitt's next ground of defence was, that the erection com plained of, so far from beilig an obstruction or inconvenience, was the very reverse; and in support of this position he called two witnesses. . . The case occupied more than two hours in the hearing, during which sir. Pitt defended his ground inch by inch, and in spire of the repeated hints of the 31agistrate that other parties were waiting to be heard. At length the 31agistrate was obliged to stop further discussion by deciding the question against Mr. Pitt, who was convicted in the penalty of Ws.—The 31a4-istmht, in awarding the conviction, observed, that, by the Act of Parliament, it was sufficient that the erection complained of should be, 6 ` in the judgment of the sur veyor," an obstruction. 3lr. Pitt said be should certainly appeal, and gave notice accordingly. lIATTON-GAIWEN. THE EFFECTS --------------- frorartr. a decent ion of &little uu4l Irish personage, resident for the last 16 years in Jacob's -court, Cow-cross. was brought up in custody of Dennis Riley, watchman, of the same place, charged by him with having on Saturday night last kick'd up a tidy/ A hit of is row, in the afore said court, to the whiffed annoyance of the gentlemen and ladies resident therein; singing songs, lie., being mad drunk with the , crater. Molly Worater baring limed the charge, instantly fell on her knees before Dennis, and exclainual--" lied love the Lord! 1 never dill the arm, D ennis, and I'll never do the like again." She NM of course ordered to stand up and look to the magisterial bench, which she immediately did, and exelr.imed--- I'll river do the like, your Maj, sty, niece ; I were a washing on Saturday, and got a little o' the et atue, could I help its de fear, your Majesty, or that me nose was broke ?" Thereupon she measured her num with due ceremony, with her fingers. She was asked how old she was ? but could not tell whether she was 30, 40, 'Olt, or 70; but believed she was newest seventy. She assume! his Majesty she nicer was at an office before, or her mother before her; and the Magistrate, in consideration of her age, her promises of amenthuent, and after giving her a word or two of advice, discharged her; for which she duly thanked him, and as she went out of the office exclaimed—•• God bless your Majesty !" ErrEcTs OF Tlt E NEW 3100E.—Georze Musters, who stated himself to have been coachman to the lata.,Lord Towushend, was brought up by Ball, one of the Bow. suet" patrol, charged with haviog rubbed, in conjunction with the moon, a fellow-lodger, of nineteen shillings in silver and four sovereigns. It appeared in evidence, that complainant, a servant out ut place, lodged with two ethers similarly circumstanced. at the Gower Antis, in Gower. street, Belford square. The defendant slept in a separate bed in the room with the complainant. On the defendant coining home lost at neatly twelve o'clock. the complainant was um bed. when he was mused by the defendant to comply with a very old superstition. namely, to turn his money in his pocket toward the New Moon for luck's sake. For luck's wake he did so, and com posed himself to rest, antictinaing a happy issue from his conforming to this ancient usage. Ott awaking, however, this morning, he. discovered that he had not '• turned a penny " by the business, fur rovereigns and silver were not only mental out of his pocket, but out tit the room, and both 111.10:1 and fellow-lodger hod vanished. Ile immediately gave information to Ball, of the patrol, who took the defendant into custody aLcam he returned to the public-house, but discovered nothing on his remelt which could explain satisfactorily the failure of the experiment, nor that he was at all under the influence of the moon, as aiding and abetting. Sergeant SELLOV expressed his regret that the aberration could not at present be satisfactorily explained ; to give time, however, for the solution of this phenomenon, he ordered the defendant to be confined until 'Thursday nest, when the planetary system may in some degree be comprehended by the rotatory inution of a • wheel." 51ARLBOIMPOIL.STREET. _ ...

As he was entering a house near the pliee, with the expecta tion of discovering the whisky, he was lustily called to not to cuter the house, as there was a woman in bed danger ously ill of a typhus fever, and that he would in all pro bability catch the infection. Mr. Gray, however, after preccnding to possess not a little skill in medicine, boldly approached the patient, and, without ceremony, turned Idown the bed-clothes, when, to his delight, he discovered an anker of good, whisky deposit:A in a very peculiar situa tion, and of which he safely delivered her. So very un grateful, however. was she to her accouchcur, that, having started to lwr legs, she only repaid him with curses.— ' S vtsciaa. i s . CC EN Tam T IL—SOUlCtillle since a sailor, on his ship being paid off at Portsmouth, hired a post-chaise to convey him to town, and particularly ordered the postillion to keep a look oet a-head, and he sure to inform him when they touched upon Bagshot-heath, for (to use his own ex pression) he had heard, that that coast was " damnably in fested with pirates." Jack had rovided himself with a quantity of pistols, and other deadly weapons; and armed " from top to toe," he crept into the vehicle, bidding the driver shove of," with a voPey of imprecations. Nothing notorious occurred till they reached the borders of the piratical province, when the postillion turned round and informed " his honour" they were upon the heath : " Then damn ee," quoth he, thrusting both his feet through the front glasses of the chaise . " Down with the bulk heads, and stand prepared for action !" and iu this position, with a pistol in each hand, to give the enemy a broadside in case of his appearance, the eccentric tar con ' tinned to the; nd of his journey.

It Is said that considerable beta were depending on the first race on Wednesday. The weather was fair during the sports, but neither the company, nor the spectators ou the ground, were so numerous as on some former years. Spring and Cribb have been exhibiting in the Exchange Rooms, to very numerous and fashionable audiences. Mr. Sinclair and Miss Rallande have been also well attended at the theatre. . . , Among the company present at the meeting were the following —The Duke of Gordon, Marquis and 31archiuness of Bundy, Lord and Lady Kennedy, Lord and Lady Saltoun, the Earl of Aboyne, the Earl of Kintore, Lord Arbuthnot.

Arbuthnot, Mr. Farquharson, of Finzean, M.P. ; Mr. Farquhar, of Johnstown, \l.'.; Mr. Fraser, of Lovat, etc. The lfarnbledon Hunt, rhicli during the last four years has been succeasivelr in the hallils of Mr. Nunez, Sir B. Graham, and Shard, is now without an owner. The scarcity of foxes is as.ignrd as the principal cause of this interregnum. This day, the celebrated tinman, Moss, and Bishop Harris, will fight off their trick-anal-tie match, both having conquered each, and both attributing their loss to accident. This event will put them nearly right upon the suit. The appearance of the young hop plantations at Orchard Portman, near Taunton, justifies a reasmable expectation of success in the important experiment of growing hops in the western counties. The trials have been made on three different soils, the plants on all of which indicate an equal promise of successful cultivation. The experimeAt is making by Mr. R. Harn. Some years ago, a man namod Collins, formerly a teacher, went outdo America. His wife, who is disordered in her mind, was left behind with her relations in Dun dee; but with the understanding that as moon as he ob tained ii settlement she was to be sent for. In March last year, she and her daughter sailed for New York from Greenock ; and, on their arrival, were met by Collins, who, as himself communicated by letter at the time, carried them five hundred miles up the country. 1 o the utter amazement of her friends, however,_ the unhappy woman made her appearance among them yesterday (ll'ednes day). How she made her way through the trackless paths of America—by what means she got across the Atlantic— or how she reached Dundee from the. British port whore she first landed—are mysteries not yet penetrated. All that can be gatherei from her incoherent story is, that she laboured under a delusion as to the identity of her hus band; and the person she took for him having, as she imagines, threatened her with violence, she left him— /Jun(l'o. Advertiser. On Friday sennight, Vowles, a most notorious character, was discharged from Rath City Gaol, and on the followirg day was again apprehended, in company with Horton and Holding, two other desperate thieves, for stealing a watch from the premises of Mr. Harris, of Sydney-buildings; but there not being sufficient proof against them, they were discharged. IFithin one lioursfter their discharge, they entered the dwelling-house of Mr. &race, attorney, Bloom field-place, and stole a great-wwt. The incorrigible offenders were apprehended, and the same day committed for trial. In conveying them to gaol, the constable was alarmed about two miles this aide of Ilchester, just as it' was dusk. One of the culprits gave a shrill whistle, and two men instantly appeared, one on each side of the cart. ' Collins, the officer, presented a pistol, and swore he would fire if they attempted to touch the cart ; upon which llor ton observed, " There's nothing the matter, Mr. Collins, they won't touch us—they are °lily going to (7revckerne fair to try to draw stai: of the fartrets. - ---Gleacester Jou rnal.
