The following, account of a method of preserving the air of apartments comparatively pure, and at the same time of dispersing a pleasant fragrance through them, is taken from the Chemist. By means of a wire fixed to one side, or at the back part of the lamp, according to its nature, and bent at right angles, so as to be a few inches tOJOIT the top of the flame, a piece of sponge is to be sus pended. This is to be soaked in a mixture of best vinegar and water, and squeezed nearly dry before it is hung up. By this means the vinegar is constantly dispersed through the apartment, and gives a very fragrant smell. It would probably be very useful in manufactories and close work shops, and is of course as easily applicable to gas as other lights. It costs very little, for the same piece of sponge will serve a whole winter. It must be occasionally re immersod in the water and vinegar, and then will be found to give out a great quantity of soot, which otherwise fouls the air of the apartments. Tuesday morning, about one o'cloek, a tragical occur reace took place in Eltlin-street. As a baker of the name of Peter Campbell was returning home with his wife, a young man of the name of Aitken rudely accosted the latter, seed addressed some opprobrious language to Campbell himself. A scuffle ensued, when Aitken reeeived two dan gerous wounds with a knife, one about the ear and the other in the side. Aidsen's life is co n s idered in i mm i ne nt danger, end l'ampbell has been taken into custody.—Cale &lsaias lirr..ro y. An inquest was held on the tAlt inst. at I leworth, on the -body of Matthew Hepplewhite, who had been, the day before, fermi hanging upon a tree in the plantations of Usworth.

Verdict —Lu nacy. DONCASTER ILI C!.'S. A pretty correct estimate of the extraordinary sport to take place :his week, may be collected from the following brief sketch of the difrerent stakes. Indeed, this year's races, whether considered with reference to the number or amount of the stakes, and matches, the horses entered for them, or the unprecedented fluctuations in the betting, may he fairly considered as taking a very prominent, if not the leading station, in the annals of racing.

SHELTON, Esq. at the Oeorge and Phoenix, Bermundsey-street, on the body of Jo seph Savage, ago* 32. The Jury being sworn, went to view the body. Jane Allies, residing at No. 6, Alagden-street, deposed, that the deceased had been ill for the last two or three weeks, and for the last few days he became evidently worse, and she urged him to apply to a physician, which he did, on Friday morning. In the evening lie said he was much better. Witness remained up with him until between twelve and one o'clock, and wished to stay up altogether, but the deceased would not allow her. About balfspast eight o'clock the following morning, she entered the deceased's room, as was her general custom since his illness. She perceived a quantity of blood on the floor, and gsve an alarm, when her hits : baits' and a neighbour came to her assistance. Witness always found the deceased very correct in his manner until Friday last, he then stared most wildly at intervals. Charles Allies stated, that the deceased had lodged upwards of five years at his house. About two or three weeks ago he coin plaii.ed vi an illuess; could not say what was his complaint ; he had urged him to take two pills on Friday night, which the tle ceaseel swallowed with much reluctance. Between three and four' o'clock Saturday morning he heard the deceased either going up or coming down the stairs; he called out, and begged him fur God's sake nut to go down stairs, it would be his death ; lie replied he was touch better, and told witness to keep his bed. On getting up at his usual hour, he found all the doors fastened as he left them over iti,;ht. lie was alarmed by his wife, and on entering the room he observed a common dinner sidle lying on the table in the mid. tile ut the room, bloody. Ile also vas:elves' a razor on the floor, likewise bloody, near the bed, on which the deceased lay with his face downwards. The blood ran front I on the floor. He was quite dead, but medical aid was immediately sent for. The de ceased was a remarkably sober steady man, and rather penurious. On Friday he observed a wildness in Ids looks. John Clarke, surgeon of .Tooley-street, stated the deceased tad been in the habit lately of coming to him for medicine. lle had seen him every day from the 12th to the Ifith. Ili, complaiut was too great a determination of blood to his head, and administered ac cordingly. (in Thursday last, witness observed a hesitation in his manner, but nothing to excite fear of his committing violence upon himself. 11.'hen he was called on Saturday, he found the deceased lying in bed with the face Moine/anis ; on turning him, he found hint quite dead, with his throat Cu , t it was not a long cut, butt very deep, sufficient to cause death. The deceased had one ut his fingers in the wound, whether fur the purpose of trying to stop the bleeding, or open the wound, he could not tell. 'l'. Brooks, cheesemonger, '!holey-street, stated he observed the deceased pass by his dour on Friday evening, and made some ob servation on his looks ; dm:lists' turned flora him as if (* . ended, and did not speak, he iad a wildness in his looks which he never observed before. The J ury , without hesitation, returned a verdict " That the de ceased was in • state of Insanity when he cut his throat, and thereby came to his death." BURGLARY A ND floasenv.—lnfeimation was yesterday received at the di rent public offices, of a burglary and extensive robbery committed in the premises of Mr. Brad ley, silk-mercer and hosier, No. 126, Nesvgati:-street, corner of Giltspur-street, between Saturday night and yes terday morning. The thieves effected an tqatatlCV, it is resumed, by the aid of pick-lock keys, which have lat terly been brought to such an amazing pitch of excellence, that no wards, however ingeniously constructed, can resist their application. When the concern was closed on :.I:tar day night, every thing was left in the usual order, b!:; on entering the premises yesterday morning, the Ishol; w:.a a scene of contnsion; goods of all sorts were s.!ittbred about, and parcels which had evidently been intended for removal lay upon the counter. Amongst the pwpo-ty ' actually carried off arc the following artielee:—.lu 1;11: shawls and scarfs, SO pieces Irish linen, 32 pack:4;es silk' handkerchiefs, 10 pieces black and coloured lamthasitie, several pieces of black silk, and a few dozen of reedy-made shirts. With this immense luggage it is impossible that the fellows could have get away in so public a place with out the concurrence of three watchmen, whose ilacrait beats all terminate at that one point ; but it is presumed that the plunder was ready packed, and, as is the practice with burglars, a coach was brought up to the door, when the goods were deliberately stowed in and dris en away. A reward of .su/. has been offered for the appreliebsien of the persons concerged. THE BRITISH PRESS. COI FUN I'l€4,lJE.

FALKIRK TRYST. On Monday last the second Falkirk Tryst commenced with sheep. These markets ate the largest in Scotland. There were an unprecedented number of English and south of Scotland dealers present. The market began at break of day, and by noon not a single lot remained un sold. As usual, the show was chiefly composed of two and three-yearling black-faced wedders. The best lot came from tilencleg, in Invetness-shire. They were fine strong wedders, rising four years old, and they brought ' 17s. &I. There were comparatively few ewes in the mar , ket, and they were not nearly in such request es the wed dens ; their prices ran from Ss. &I. to Bs.• There ware a few Cheviots in the market, the best lot of which sold at 2Ys. The supply was about a third short of that of last year, and prices were up, from 2s. to:is. a-head above those obtained last year. In the evening the Englishmen ex pressed their surprise and mortification at the high prices the sheep hail brought. The market, upon the whole, has been the briskest that has been seen for a number of yea rs. The Tuesday's market was for the sale of black cattle. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the morning, which from (lawn till ten o'clock blew a perfect hurricane, accom panied by heavy rain, the English dealers had breakfasted, and were in the field by eight o'clock, and business began. The tacksman of the held in which the market is held, stated the number present at less than 13,000 ; but several dealers, who have experience in these matters, reckon the number ut V 5.000 or 30,000. Business began with the West Highlanders. Four-yearling slots were bought win unusual rapidity. A lot of So, from Jura, the best of' the sort that appeared in the market brought 10/. 10s. Another lot of 60, not quite so good, brought W. Ss. ; and several lots sold from 7/. los. to Sgs. The best lot of 3 year-old stots consisted of GO, and went A' at Si. The usual prices I ran from 6 1 . Ss. to Si., but a number were sold down to 4/. There was not a good supply of two-year-old stots. A lot of 40, sold by a respectable dealer from Argyle, brought 11. 1.55. There was but a scanty supply of West Highland heifers. A particular lot of three-year old heifers, consi dered the best in the market of their age, from Bunrobin Castle, brought Sl. 13s. There was a very limited number of lean cows in the market ; and the few that were brought forward did not sell PO well as the other cattle. There were about 3000 large heavy three-yearling bullocks from Angus and Aberdeenshire. Although the owners came well out with them, they did not do nearly so well as the proprietors of the it'est Highlanders. The best lot of this sort consisted of 200 from Aberdeenshire, and they went off at rather above 131. _ _ ednesday morning several new droves arrived, and they, along with a few lots that remained over on Tuesday night, appeared on the field at the usual time; but as nearly all the extensive south country dealers were previously served, the prices were not so good as they were the pre ceding day. The proprietors refused to deal at any mate rial reduction, and a number of small lots were driven off unsold. Upon the whole, there has not been a better mar ket for a number of years, and the Highlanders left the Try►t in high spirits.—Gbirvia Paper. SECOKD TRI : 4L, IY GLASGOW, nPER TILE NEW 'COMBINATION 'LAW. From the Wasgolo JouneaL I In the Trades' Ilall, yesterday, came on before Mr. Douglas, Mr. Wingate, and Mr. Laurence Hill, Justices of the Peace, the petition of Mr. Peter Hutchison, manufacturer, against John Al lan. weaver, Parkhead, and John bi'lleth, weaver, Glasgow. The petitioner stated, that a conspiracy had been entered into by the hand-loom weavers in Glasgow and other pans of the country, to root him out of the trade by a system of intimidation, by violent harangues and inflammatory statements—by collecting money for the avowed purpose of preventing weavers seal beamers from con tinuing in blr. IL.'. employment—by using threats and cresting riots against those who worked for him—and that, in ootisequence of this system of intimidation, many had been obliged to leave him. The defenders were charged with 'being art and part concerned in this conspiracy, and by secret and overt acts to have tried to root Mr. 11. out of the trade. . . Several witnesses were called to rove the case, in many of whom there was a great deal of reluctance and backwardness to answer any questions which bare against the Associatiun, and they had to be frequently admonished from the Bench. No witnesses were called in exculpation ; but in the cross.exami nation, many of the witnesses said no personal violence, nor threats, nor inducement', hail been used towards them. Mr. BAILAS shortly addressed the Court for the prosecutor, and Mr. SIN cLasia for the prisoner, after which the Court was cleared while the Justices considered their interlocutors at one o'clock. It was 21) minutes to four when the doors were again opened, and the Hall was tilled in an instant by the people who had waited in the street. The Clerk then read the interlocutor in the case of John M'lleth, which applied in like tents to John Allan. It found him guilty of having beets within the last three months concerned in an illegal combination and conspiracy to thrust or root Peter Hutchi son, nimiufacturer in Glasgow, out of trade, and carrying into effect a system of intimidation, whereby a number of persons, who were willing and desirous to execute the work of the said Peter Hutchi son, have been wilfully and maliciously overawed front executing such work, contrary to the statute made in the fifth year of the reign of his present Majesty, entitled " An Act to repeal the Laws rela tive to the Combination of Workmen, and for ether purposes therein mentioned ;" and the Justices Issued convictions, ordaining imprisonment of said John Allan and John M`Beth, in the cos limn gaol for MI days, fur the said offence. tau the reading of theesentence Mr. Hutchison rose and said he was convinced the prisoners were actuated by no malicious mo tires to himself personally, but were moved solely by what they conceived (however erroneously), to be fin the good of their fellow tradesmen. His motive for bringing this action was not any thing connected with these men individually, but tOr the purpose of hav ing, by the Justices' decision, the combination declared illegal. Ile therefore begged that the prisoners might be discharged without punishment, if that could still be done. John Allan then addressed the Court and said, he hoped although the Court had found them guilty, and sentenced them to imprison ment in consequence, they did not look upon them in the light of felons, and would not confine them along with characters of that description. Mr. Itouot.as then said. in a very feeling manner, that his brother Justices and himself were at present placed in a situation which was must disagreeable fur magistrates to be placed in. %Vitt' regard to .Ir. Hutchison'' request tins remission of their sentence, he was not sure if it was in the power of the Court to comply with it. Ile would, however, rather avoid giving any pietism opinion upon that point. At any rate their imprisonment would be of the meat lenient kind. The Act under which they hail found them guilty gave theist the power, if they had so willed it, to have im prisoned them in the House of Correction, a place justly held to be infamous ; they might have also extended the period of imprison ment to two months; this. however, they had no inclination to do. lie looked upon the prisoners as men who had been misled by sonic thing or other into a connexion which was calculated to lead to results which be believed the prisoners did not contemplate. Fur this night they would only be taken into private custody. John Sl'lleth said, in acting as they did, they said not know they were breaking any law, since the combination laws, by the exertions of Mr. II urne, hail been repealed. As the officers of the Coort were biking the prisoners in charge, a man beside than cried out I would ba proud to be in your situation." Court broke up at twenty °d rams past four o'clock this morning. After the Court bad brake up, Mr. Ilutchison's ss , ent stated to the motels and their agent, that Mr. 11. was now willing, in as far Hs he was concerned, to carry into edict his former minion, by now passing troth the execution of the warrant. To this it was answered on behalf of the panels, that they had no objection to be discharged, if Mr. H. would admit that they were liniment, and that the proceedings of the Association, in re ference to himself, was not a violation of the law.

PUBLICATION OF lIEVORTS. The following curious affair took place on Saturday evening, soon after the termination of Mr. Fauntleroy s investigation. A gentleman connected with the newspapers had been noticed taking copious not, s of the evidence, and even of the desultory conversation that passed on the occa sion ; as everything calculated to throw light on an affair of such moment mutt have been acceptable to the public, who naturally look to a free press for information on all topics of great interest. Soon after he had left the office, and was returning home by Oxford -street, he was accosted on Blenheim-steps by a person fashionably dressed, who it appeared was deeply interested in the investigation just concluded. The following was pretty nearly the con versation : t..tranger—May 1 take the liberty of asking you a question or two? __ . . Reporter—Most certainly, Sir. Stranger—Have not you Len notes of Mr. reuntleroy's investi. gat ion ? Reporter-1 have. Stranger—lneended for publication, no doubt ? Reporter—Though I do not feel myselt bound to answer that question, yet I have no heiltation in saying that I intend submit. ring them to the acceptance of the press. Stratger—Then, Sir, I shall have as little hesitation in saying that I am deeply, very deeply interested in its suppression. (A long pause ensued, during which the stranger evinced much anxiety, and appeared to wait toe some overture; none, however, being made. he resumed.) I stn, as I observed, deeply interested in its suppression; and if a sum equivalent to ten tames what your notes would produce be any inducement to you to resign them to me, you niay freely com mand it, and be satisfied that the circumstance shall never be ro. pealed. My motives fur this application I cannot possibly divulge, as I ant merely the agent of another. Reporter-1 do nut presume to inquire what your motives may be, but your application is altogether useless. lam myself but the agent of others, and, were I to surrender my notes, I should com. promise my duty to those by whom I am (though not positively engaged) so far pledged that I could not, with honour, suppress any thing of the sort. Stranger—Do you. then, persist in your reselution of publishing the report of this day's paceedings ? Reporter—That is not my province. I persist in submitting it ' to the Editors, who will use their own discretion; and I must now beg to decline any further conversation on the euhject. Stranger—You will have reason to repent your determination, Sir (angrily). Reporter--So long as I perform my duty faithfully, 1 trust I shall have no particular cause for repentance. Stranger—Perhaps the papers may hare rv...son to repent it too. for It does not follow that they have any right whatever to give in. sertion to statements that are fur the most part discoloured by pre judice. Reporter—They arc answerable for what they insert ; and with regard to your inuendo, if directed to me, I must say, that it is not only unjust, but ungentlemanly. Stranger—You may yet have cause to regret the refusal you still seem inclined to make. . . . . Reporter—l never entertained an idea of complying with your request. Stranger—Very well, Sir, very well. So saying lie turned again into Marlborough -street, where be was immediately joined by two persons, and all three getting into a coach List was in waiting, drove off. This gentleman, it seems, bad come into the office at the close of the proceedings, and was recognised by the un happy prisoner, but took no conspicuous part in the bu siness : lie was also present at the meeting of creditors, and spoke strongly in support of the house. Had the notes been given up in this instance, it would not have prevented the so-much-dreaded publication, which was carefully noted by at least three othir persons. I'ol.l CE. row— QUEEN-SQUARE. nazis° BURGLARY.—Yesterday George Richards, Samuel Martin, JOIN Edward:, and Ed:rard Icilllam Nix, all young men, were charged with committing a daring burglary at an early hone on Sunday morning, in the house of a lady hauled Streacher, residing at Vale-place, Fulhatn. The facts elicited against the prisoners were as follow :—The prosecutrix on Monday morning, about two o'clock, was awoke by • noise which she thought proceeded from the lower part of the house, and was oeca , ionell by thieves ; she threw up the sash of the window, and sprung 3 rattle which she had prudently kept in her bed-chamber. She also called " Watch !" but nearly half an hour elapsed before the watchman came. She informed him there were thieves in the house ; he was fearful of contending alone with the robbers, and went and procured the assistance of a man named Lowe, and they returned to the house. On their arrival a Row.street patrol came up. Jenkins, the watchman, went round the back of the house, and Price, the patrol, and Lowe, remained at the front door, to prevent the escape of the thieves. At that moment Martin and another man rushed out of the front door. Lowe picked up a large missile, and threw it at Martin ; it struck hint on the head, and fellaal hint to the ground 4 he, however, re covered, ran off, and was taken the saute morhing, at Kensington, without a hat, and he claimed one as his own, which the olEctra found in the prosecutriia house. The prisoner Richards was ap prehended by Price, as he was escaping from the house, and another of the robbers, supposed to be the prisoner Edwards, escaped the back way. On entering the house the patrol found a dark lan. tern. brace and bits, skeleton keys, crow bar, phosphorus box, matches, and other implements of housebreaking. The thieves effected their entrance by taking a panel out of the back door, Martin and Richards were committed to Newgate, and the other two were discharged for want of evidence to prove their identity. MARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE. Yesterday, larks Crtrxtlwr, a boy 13 vears of age, was charged by .Me. Edwards, jun. a baker of Quebec-street, with stealing a loaf of bread out of his barrow, which he had placed near a house in York-place, while he alto serving a customer. Tile young delinquent, on being pursued, deliberately turned round, and hurled the loaf at the foremost of his puasuers. Mr. ItAtri.t N SON asked the boy's father, who was in the office, if the boy had any occasion to steal from the effeets of hunger. The father replied he was a poor man, but contrived to have enough for himself, wife, and three children at home. The pri. tuner was the only cause of his unhappiness, as he was continuidly pilfering, and what 11'43 mo.e extraordinary, solely to gratify not only an inordinate, but epicurian appetite, as his thefts were con fined to delicacies, such as fish—lobsters was his favourite ; pies, tarts, &c. The young rogue was remanded. UNION-11AM.. 0u T RAO E AT Tlt E COIIIIIIO Ta EAT RE.—Yes toll ay Was. Carey, a recruit belonging to the Queen's Regiment of Foot, and another person attached to the stone corps, were brought up in cuss tody before 1.. 11. At. Lust, Esq. the former charged with having flung a glass quart bottle from the gallery of the above theatre to the stage, to the imminent danger of the lives of the audience and persons belonging to the establishment. Mr. Davidge, the siting stage manager, with several individuals connecsed with the theatre, attended, and stated, that on Saturday night last, after the conclusion of the first piece, and during the performance of the overture to that which followed, a considerable alarm was excited throughout the house by some person in the gal lery having flung a quart bottle to the stage, which fortunately missed the head of the leader of the band, struck the toot-light lamps, several of which it demolished, and alighted on the stage, where it was smashed In pieces. The M an IST HAT e called on the prisoner to state what could in. duce him to commit such a deliberate and scandalous act as that which had just been clearly made out against him. The prisoner, who appeared from his manner to be unconscious of having committed any serious offence, replied, that he was intosticated, and he did nut know what he did ; but that if it was now looked over, he would never do the like again. Mr. Aced observed, that his apologies would not do ; and in committing the defendant to gaol, in default of buil, to answer the complaint at the Sessions, the Magistrate remarked, that hail any fatal consequences ensued front the act, lie certainly should have felt it his duty to commit the prisoner for murder. FATAL AND SHOCKING ACCIOFNT.—Mr. Davis, a farmer at Somerton, having sent his son with a horse to some part of the farm, and he being absent nearly three hours, a man was despatched in search of him ; when, af ter a diligent search, his hat was first found, Lis shoes next, and, in various places, different parts of his gar ments. At length, after going nearly - a mile, lie discovered the horse standing in a field, and the boy dreadfully mangled lying beside him, with the halter round his thigh. The day previous to the melancholy accident, the boy was seen leading the horse, with a halter tied round his thigh, and strongly admonished not to du so; and it is supposed that, having again adopted the same dangerous method, the horse took fright, and dragged him through several fields, over hedges, &c., for nearly a mile.—Seisbary Journal. MeI.ANCHOLY ACCTDENT.—On Friday afternoon, as Mr. D. Scrace, Solicitor, of St. James's-parade, in this city (Bath) was returning from the village of Faulkland, when about two miles from that place, his horse, it is conjec tured, tripped and threw him, and Mr. S. was dragged a considerable distance in the stirrups, and severely kicked by the animal. Between four and live o'clock he was found by a farmer lying in the road, who, with the assistance of another person, led hint back to a private house at Faulk land, where surgical aid was immediately procured. Hopes were at first eutertaintd that the serious injuries he had received would not terminate fatally, but about twelve o'clock the saute evening he became delirious, and con. tinned in a state of insensibility until ten o ' clock on Satur day morning, when he expired.--Bath Journal.
