They went to a lo•licing.house kept by a person named !rm. liiaby, anti asked for a satutypsui to stew some muelirootne fur their supper. Whilst in the art of preparing them, the woman of the house observed, •` they were net wuahrooms, but what she and her neigh • ours relied toad.nnols." The female, sho was a French. woman, said. "they Were thampignons, and what were commonly eaten in her country " and prepared them for supper accordingly. After stewini, for some time, they were put into a dish, and Wil pan and his wife began la eat of them. An Irishman, who was bulging in the new house, was induced to taste them, and. ate mama a spoonful ; a daughter el Ginby's (aged about I). took and tar a saucer full. The woman of the house also tasted them ; elle said she tl glit they were very sweet, and recommended a little pepper, and some flour to thicken them with, which she gave for fist maltase. The poor creatures, hungry, and tineenscioue of the deadly nature of their food, ate near two (VOWS of the stew, and vent to bed about sine o'cleck. They slept in the same room with the Irishman. After being in bed shout three hours, they were seised with a violent retching, which continued throughout the night, and csali seven o'clock the next wonting, when they were *et seen by Mrs.lllitiby ; they were in a truly deplorable situation, in excruciating agony, aril dreadfully exhausted.

This was an action to recover 12/. 24. the amount of a grocer's 15111. The plainti ff 's case ins, that the goods had been supplied to the present defendant, by his order. The defence rested, that the goods bad been stipplted by order, and for the defendant's father, a prisoner in the King's fiend'. ft appeared that on the lath of May, the father being arrested, sold all his property to his son. The father was consequently brought up by yolnyis Corptis from the King's: Bench. and together with his daughter, swore distinctly to an item of lit. Plc. being ordered by him, and ter his use, before surrendering. The daughter : spoke to the other items as having been ordered by her for her father. Much eloquence was displayed by Counsel on each side, and the Jury, after retiring half an hour, found a verdict for the plain.. till to the full amount. Mr. Frswans s instantly moved for a new trial, on tile ground of the verdict being contrary to evidence. The Learned J t•Du ri said, it certainly was not such *verdict as he conceived would have been tonne) to. his charge, or such a one as he should have f o und himself—nor did lie expect it; hut• the legislature had placed the power in the hands of the Jury, and lie could not disturb what they had thought proper to find. IRELAND. ENNISKILLEN SPECIAL SESSIONS, AUGUST 21. " Fere iternm rrispinfto." The following curious case was this day investigated before the Magistrates:— ‘ THE 011ANCIL HUCK COAT; OR, 118CABE V. VARNER. It appeared that on the day that Si . : Abraham Bradley King, like the old Roman, made his triumphal entry into Enniskillen, the prosecutor, !W('ithe, who is a butcher by trade. possessing inure humour than discretion, paraded through the town, deco. rated with orange ribbons, an old 6'tay-be:a:lW Luck ,;tat, which he was going to *laughter. The traverser, who is an Orangen an, and likewise a butcher by trade, viewing with indignation the grand procession of the rtry toverend old goat as it entered the shambles, and conceiving that the old gentleman waa intended as a mock representation of str Abraham, and exhibited for the purpose of offending the wiliest) of the Purple Knight and his associates, furiously attacked the Orange animal, and nearly kilt the prosecutor. The case did not go to the Jury, having been accommodated at the instance of the Orange usembcei of the 111 u•ivilitotic and etcaver Association. POLICE. MAN A Seaman, who said he had been in his Majesty's service nearly II years, was brought before the Loan 3laeolt, by Mr. Murray, the Secretary to the Society of the Friends of Foreigners in Distress, charged with liming called at their office, and, without offitring any sufficient claim upon the funds of the charily, being guilty of using the grossest abuse because lie was not relieved. 'I he seaman now spoke as if he had a legal claim upon the Society, and said he ens in the deepest distress. Ile had ben treatsd with injustice calculated to shuck any nation. Belied been wounded in the .twice of his Britannic Majesty, whom he had fought for II years, with the exception of one fortnight, and he had been dig mimed a fortnight before the expiration of the term which would have entitled him to a pension, in order that he might lose his claim. rraler such circumstances, and with a conetittition broken down by subsequent services in India, het is now in England, far from his native country, without a halfpenny or a friend. Mr. Murray vmtlicated the Bo ird Di Admiralty hum the calum nious imputation thus cast upon them. The Loan Marna asked the seaman if he had petitioned the Board ? to which he replied in the negative, alleging that others who had petitioned in the same circumstances with himself, had done so in vain. The Secretary upon this olmoved, that this seaman having been borne since he served in the British service was disqualified from receiving any of the charity of the Society of the Friends of Fo. reign era in Distress. The Loan :heroic waft of opinion that the seaman should peti tion the Board of Admiralty, and not endeavour to edict his object • obtaining chanty by threat% or menaces. Ilk Lordship added, that lie was happy to find the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress, deviated from that niggardly rule, observed by other institutions, of adhering to the letter of their regulations. The most deplorable objtcts were by this system of exclusion thrown upon the world without hope. If those who supported charitable insti tutions would take a glance at the cases:that daily came before him, their hearts would bleed at the exhibition. Why not stretch a little in selecting objects for relief? Many persons came before him without claims upon any parish, and without the means of getting work. If they stole they must be sent to Newgate, and if they begged they must go to the treadmill. The Secretary said, he was aware of the inadequacy of public in stitutions to meet every case of public distress, but on this occasion the legisittnre and not the society were chargeable with the defect. Purlieu SILIK MaNUTACTUIIERII.—Two French silk weavers were summoned before the Lord Mayor by a French manufactu rer of silk goods, who has recently set up business in this metro polis, to answer for the non-performance of contract. It appeared that since the duty has been taken off silk, the com plainant and another person, allot a native of France, came over to this country and brought with them some improved machinery for the purpose of introducing the French mode of *caving orna mental silks. The complainant had succeeded in getting over his machinery, and had engaged with the defendants to cross to this country, and work for him for twelve years, upon stipulated terms. Ile had paid their expenses from Brussels to th:s country, and had maintained them a fortnight, when just before die machinery wits • put in order for working, they abandoned his service for that of a competitor. The two defendants, through their interpreter, said they had only entered into a parole agreement with the complainant, and they wished to know from the Lord Mayor whether such an agree ment, made abroad, would bind dent in England. On the part of the manufacturer, it was explained to his Lord ship, that no more than a preparatory written agreement was made abroad, anti that it was nut executed, in order that the penattiei in curred by such a compact might be awoided."The French Govern ment had already shown a very lively hostility to the practice of transplanting any of the national inauutactures, and bad iittlicted the harsh penalty of a two-year's imprisonment upon some work men who hail attempted to conic over to this country. The agree ment, of which the draught was examined and approved abroad by the defendants, bad been tendered to them on their arrival in this ct y, but they refused to execute, calculating upon the privi lege. of which they became masters upon landing in England. The defendants said they had a very important objection to the agreement, to which they had resen•ed to themselves the tight of affixing tl cir signatures. They thought it not sufficiently profit able. The Loon Marna asked them whether they had objected to, execute the agreement as disadvantageous, before or after they had been made a larger offer elsewhere ? The defemlants admitted that their objection saes the result of a more profitable offer. They thought they were bound in duty to themselves to ohfkin the best possible terms, and they made the very extraordinary declaration that they had abandoned the com plainant out of mere tenderness and consideration for hint, as they were SUM he could never succeed in a eontiait fur superiority with his competitors. The Lonn Maxon said the tenderness of the defendants was' certainly of the very highest order ; tor, after having put the mama famine to the great hazard of personal liberty and other inflictions of the oppressive French syateni, to the expense of 1,200 francs in I conveying them to this country, and to the expense of maintaining thou here, the moment they received a more advantageous ulfer their gratitude induced them to go over to his rival. The defendants said they were willing to repay hint for the ex. , I pense he had incurred on their account. The LOYD MAYO% told them they were most egregiously de- ! I 'mired, if, when they came over to a land of compaative freedom they expected they were free to do just what they pleased with re. speet to the interests of others, and that there was no law to compel them to be honest. 11 is Lordship then causal to be explained to tlieui the Act of the 4th of Geo. IV. on the subject of workmen's , wages, in which it is enacted, that if any workman or artificer shall refuse to perform either his written or parole agreement with his master, or absent himself from his !rock before its completion, he shall be liable. to be sent by the Magistrate to the treadmill fur three months ; and his Lordship said that to the treadmill they should 1 1 surely go, to try the efficacy of that wonderful improvement in Ihitish machinery, if they still persisted in their refusal to be honest. A person who attended as interpreter here said, that although the complainant's warehouse was in Wood-street, his manufactory was in Spitalhelds. The case, therefore, did notpruperiy come within his Lordship's jurisdiction. The L oan 31avna said, that infomiation put the case out of his hands; but there was no Mitgistrate who would act otherwise than he had intended to act upon the facts which tame before hint. The Frenchmen then retired; and we understood that the terror Minitel' by the mention of the new British machinery induced them to return to their employer, and ratify the compact. We omit the names or the parties at their rcqutnt, an they are apprehensive that, as our reports are publialied in the COIISOS:ifiaI Journals, the publication of their names would draw down Or can: of their cenneetions abroad the vengeance of the French !slice, Ltd occi.sion the confiscation of considerable property.

A111,114111f)l'fill-STREET. Sarah Clarke, a woman who bears a de‘perate character, and ose of those who intest St. 3lartin's-court, ltranborne-street. &c. to the great annoyance of all passengers at night, was charged on suspi cion of being et. teemed in robbing a gentleman of his watch ; and Cherie:Frederic - A Parton, a young man of very fieliionnblt aprar ance, was charged with attempting to mem: the °Mei-prisoner, and with being drunk and tlisuslerly. A gentleman, named 3lotintford, said, that as he was pas‘Vg through St. Martin -court, about eleven o'clock the night befor.:, a powerful-looking woman met him, and striking him a blow in the face, snatched his watch from his pocket and ran errs snd on the saute .instant he received another blow from behind, which stunned him, and on turning round, he saw the female priamer close to him, and the only person near ; lie gave her lit° Sig cus tody of a watchman, and after much ►esistance, and the moat shocking abuse, she was lodged in the watch-house. The watchman, who took the woman to the watch-house, and described her as a terror to the whole neighbourhod, said, that when going to the watch-house the wale prisoner cause up, sai *bused him with the grossest language, and wished to *get the woman ! away ; upon which, suspecting that he might be iu league with ' her, he took him also to the watch-house. The male prisoner denied haring any thing to (111 with the woman, er endeavouring to rescue her ; the-fact was, he had been spending the night at the Itoysl Saloon, home when he met the party going to the watch-hotise,.l but he clever interfered.in Piccadilly, sod aret'on Ids way On being etiestioneil as to who and what he was, lie said that be was an articled clerk to his father, Slr.

The constable of the night said, that nothing could equal the shocking language and behaviour of this young man at the wa tch !- 1 house and when a pewter pint( was handed to him with sonic water, which he asked for, he tlilllllol the water in the constable's face, and smacked the quart to pbs•ea. Mt-CONANT said, tl . .at he mast find bail, as a riotous and die : orderly character. The prisoner replied. that " he'd be d----d if he would find any bail 4" and in default was locktai up. The female prisoner was remanded, until the supposed compa nion. who committed the robbery, can be apprehended, as her per son is known to the watchman. QCEEN•SQUARE. Thursday a sailor-looking man, who gave his name as Fiat!, was loronght up on a charge of indecent exposure. ayne. a Bow-atreet patrol. lowed that lie was called Thuriday eretong from his station at the Home Department, Whitehall, to apprehend the prisoner. Ile proceeded instantly to the Tilt-yard, and found the prisoner PurrotuAled by 211 or al men ; two men were endeavouring to re-arran;ze oho clothes . The prisoner . would not permit them. Payne then took Mtn into custody, and brought hint to the office on Thursday evening. Canier, a stable.keeper at Whitehall, deposed that he saw the prisoner walking about in the Tilt-yard bare-headed, and his per-, son reposed ; he was thus occupied for shove two hours ; he did not appear to he intoxicated. A constable and a black bandnian came up and attempted to put an end to the indecent exposure, but the prisoner resisted wi:h violence. The prisoner fa log asked to give an account of himself, said he I belonged to the Blonde frigate, Lord Byron, Captain, and joined, the ship two months ago at Woolwich ; he left her on the 2:kl for London, and came to Lord Byron for some money, which his Lord ship promised to advance him. Ile went to his Lordship's house, Oloneestereadate, l'ortinan-square,.but did not see him; he, the prisoner, was hatitl.master to his loin:ship. The ship was being fitted out to take out the King rvid Queen of the Sandwich Islands when he joined It. He was not at Whitehall yesterday; did wet act in the improper manner stated ; if lie did it, it was without his I knowing it, and out of his memory • if he acted so he was not lit to live; there must have been a mistake; it was a curious business; It roust be somebody else for whom he was mistaken; Lord Byron cmild prove the truth of his allegations, as to his character and bu , sines in town. At the end he protested before Clod that he had no knowledge of the charge. Mr. Mans:Law n said, that as to the commission of the fact there could be nn doubt ; there were two credible witnesses who stated it on oath. The prisoner must have done it. Prisoner—Then if I did it the devil must have tempted one. I know nothing of it, I declare to God. Mr. M ARK LA al I)—We must write to Lord Byron about you. Prisoner-1 wish you would not, fur he may advertise me as a deserter. Mr. MARX 11. A Pill asked whether he knew any one else The prisoner referred to a mimic-seller of King-street, Westmin ster, of whom he had bought inetruneents. On being referred to. the music-sel.er stated that the prisoner was redly band-master tri Lord Byron. A run-commissioned officer of the ship also appeared. and sop ported the prisoner's assertions. Ile further stated, that the pri soner usually became affected in his intellect after lie had drunk strong liquor. At other times he we. a proper steady man. The time of the prison's leave of absenceliad expired. The officer con cluded by requesting the Magistrate to deliver over the prisoner to himself; anti he would take hint without delay to the ship. Mr..MARKLasin having admonished the prisoner fur his intoxi cation, transferred him to his officer. WfIRSItIPSTREET. Ax Ot.n MADE REVlVF.D.—Yesterday James FIiZAKTdi and Pat.

They urre, however, secured. After the depositions were read, Mr. TWTFOID sentenced them to three months in the !louse of Correction. Fitzgerald then said—" Will your Worship allow us for the week we have ban in custody ?" , Mr. TwYroin—By all means, your punishment with your offence. UNION•Ii:ILL. Yesterday an investi g ation took place before L. B. A tA.e. Esq. relative to a sum of money which was given by a convict to a man named Barto, on condition that he would not appear against him to prosecute. From the statement of Hall. the chief constable, it appeared, that on the 18th of April last, a Mr. Barto was assaulted on the high. way, by a man named Joseph Barrett, and robbed of his watch. Barrett was taken into custody soon atter the robbery, after having made a very desperate recistance, and brought before the Magis trates at this office, where he was identified by the chief constable as a returned convict. Subsequent to the first examination the prose. cute, kept out of the way, and it was believed that he had received money from Barrett fur not appekring against him. Gall, how. ever, by considerable exertions, atter the prisoner's committal from this office, traced out the prosecutor, and procured his attendance at Guildford, on Tuesday last, when that person gave evidence against', the prisoner, who was convicted, and sentenced to transportation for life. After the trial VMS over, Barrett, on leaving the bar, re. quested to speak to Hall, when the following conversation took place on the subject of the money which the convict said he had paid over to the prosecutor for relinquishing the prosecution : Barrett--" Mr. hall, you can serve me, now that I am con. !fitted." Ilall asked in what manlier ? Barrett replied, " I gave silt guineas to Mr. Davao, on the promise that he would • stall' me oft; and I think, as lie has broken his word, it is only fair that I should have my money returned." flail told him that the money he had given in the way described was not now to be considered hi+ property after conviction; and added, that he would make inquiries about it. Ilan, in consequence, stated the above circtuistances on his return from the Assizes, and produced a note, dated llorsenionf,ecr Gaol, which he stated lie had received that morning, on the subject, from Barrett, who was on the eve of his departure from this country. • llorsenimager-lane Gaol, Aug. 21, 1824. " Mr. lloil—You promised me, when I saw you at fiuildford, to try and get back my tit. which I gave the prosecutor, on his promise not to appear against ate.

Long before ten, when the panics were to sign the bond, a nutnber of bets were made at 2 to 1 on Langan, though some of the fancy admitted that Shelton, who was present, looked remarkably well. The betting gave confidence that all would be right, and the company patiently waited the appointed hour, enjoying themselves in the interim with Tom's henry wet, Ilinette'a best, and supirior black strap. At ten, Delther came forth with several of Shelton's backers, and triumphantly 'hewed the two Mi. (the sum each man was then to put down), and laying them upon the table, inquired if any gentleman present was ready, on the part of Langan, to put down the like aunt, and definitively arrange tfte articles. The utmost anxiety was depicted on every face, but at length it was atimmiteed that no person was present to 1 back Langan. It was then proposed that all possible indulgence should be given, and that they should wait until twelve o'clock, which was agreed to. The clock struck twelve, however, and no one having then appeared on the part of Langan, it was announced that the match of cutiese was qjT. Langan has much to explain before lie can again expect to receive the support of the pagthatic corps. Paorlicc IA t. Box t go.—Vesterday (Tuesday) a pitched battle for a sum of money was fought between a butcher and a glass blower, in a field, near l'rantnere, on the other side of the river. We regret to state, that this brutal exhibition attracted some thou sands of persons front Liverpool to witness it. Hitherto the heroes of the fist have met with little or no encouragement in this town ; and we should deem it a circumstance deeply to be deplored, if a taste for prise-fighting were to grow up among any class of our fel, low-townsmen.—Llverpool Courier. GRAND SAILING MATefl. Yesterday a very fine competition took place among the fisher men of old Father Thames, within the boundaries, for the new peter boat, given by some gentlemen who are fond of encouraging aquatic sporzs, particularly where the competitors are hardworking and industrious men. The match, from the parties engaged, was known to be on the," square;" and as the boat with its appendages , is certainly an object worthy the effort of skill, perhaps a more excel.l lent display has not taken place this season than that of yesterday; it excited great interest. and a " flotilla" of boats of every nam e ! and class was seen moving over the "azure fl ood." From Black. friars Bridge the river presented a most pleasing spectacle ; the' start took place float thence, and the bustle of the parties engaged so deeply in the contest was extremely amusing. Several of the competitors were engaged to the moment of starting in trimming their light barks, under the direction of sonic experienced stagers. while the shouts, and dashing of the oats, with sundry immersions' and vociferations, kept the mold continually alive. George Heath. the veteran of the Thames. appeared in his barge, with a •' select" and, we are informed, " literary" group. Several of the pleasure boats which have latterly been engaged in aquatic contests were sailing about, with colours gaily flying. At three o'clock the following boats were placed at the buoys for starting :- 1 Deception . - Michael Murphy Blarkwall, 2 Betsy - R. Flynn Bankside. 3 Ann's Delight . E. Cobb, jun, Greenwich. 4 New Unity . -E. Barbery Wandsworth. 6 Favourite . . Thomas Roberts Ditto. 6 Henry . White Chiswick. 7 Victory . Thomas Brill 1 1 ' andsworth. 8 Father a Child Forgot John Garthwaite Greenwich. 9 Friends ttoodwill . Robert Ellmore Ilankaide. 10 William and George G. Banks Lambeth. 11 henry and Jape .J. Ilarbut Wandsworth. 12 Endeavour . . J. Reed Greenwich. 13 Favourite - . Samuel Perkins 'Wandsworth. 11 Thomas and Agnes - Thos. Pridniore Battersea. And the conditions of the match were stated to be, that the peter ' boats were not to exceed • certain length (22 feet), and to sail I under spritsail and foresail ; the distance from litickfrlars to Put- 1 ney and back. All having agreed to and ratified those terms, the' wherries moved out of the way t the stream appeared clear for action, when the " fleet" containing the lookers-on set sail, and in a few minutes the signal for being at positions was made, and at twenty minutes to four o'clock the start took place. The Victory end the Ann's 1/elight having declined the competition, only twelve boats started. The contest at the setting out was very fine, the wind blew fresh from the east, and the tide fully favoured the ts. pectations of the competitors. The Betsy took the lead, and kept' it in fine style through ' Waterloo-bridge, having evidently every advantage of tackle however the Father's Child Forgot bore up, and, in a gesnt way, took the lead, and at Vauxhall-bridge she was passed in tine style by the Endeavour, Favourite, and Thomas Agra; this last boat, in Chelses.reach, was slightly fouled, she, however, bore on her starboard tack away, and had gained the lead, not only at Batter. sea, but in the far famed teach for trial of skill, at 11 andsworth, where the Betsy, by bearing to the windward, gained considerably upon the Thomas and Agnes ; but this boat, by great stress of sail, pushed upon a contrary tack, and, by dint of the most skilful management, gained the breeze, and gallantly passed round the boat stationed off the Powder-house, Putney, followed by the Betsy ; but this boat had something to do to avoid The Father's Child Forgot, an 4 at this moment the contest was between the three boats. The Thomas and Agnes cut on under every riescription of tack closely pressed by the Betsy, who made every effort to keep under her wake. At Nine Elms the second boat was slightly fouled, but she had no chance of winning the prize, as the leading boat was at least, on every tack, 30 lengths a-head. At 211 minutes past six, amid the roar of cannon, and cheers of an immense assemblage, at Cumberland Gardens, the Thomas and Agnes came in the winning boat, striking the wit-sail. The order of coining in appeared to be, the Betsy, the Father's Child Forgot, and the Favourite. The coming In was very line; there was scarcely any difference in sailing, - but evi dently Pridniore, the owner of the Thomas and Agnes, well un derstood the weather gage of the River, and consequently distanced his opponents. Cuinbezland Gardens were thronged to excess, as were all the houses on the hanks of the Thames; and we are glad to find that the gay and animated scene passed over without any accident. The . whole was -under the direction of Mr. Blackhounie, salesman. A • number of yachts were out, and came in before the competitor*. ME LA NCIIOLY CATASTkorne. — BurelrFss, Aco.
