CITY SEREST I.II72ROPEMEiVTS. In the coarse of last week Mr. Alderman Ileygate, Mr. Bow- geld, and some other. nt the inhabitants of Chatham-place, Blaeh- friars, pt, sewed' to the lard Mayo? a complaint that the Corn.' snifter of the Commissioners of Sewers had directed the space lie. fine their houses to be raised and alacedamised. They complained strongly that this measure had been adopt'sd without consishing them or giving them notice on the subject, although their property would, as they conceived, be seriously affected by it; and they begged that they might be heard with respect to the measure before it was carried into execution. In consequence of this complaint or memorial the lard Mayor convened a Special Court of the Commissioners of Sewers, which seas held yesterday at eleven o'clock. The LORn Slav ow took the chair. The Surveyors Report was presented, and a discussion tesik • lace upon it between Mr. Alderman Wood, Mr. Deputy Taylor, Deptity Routh, and several other .Membets, when it was unanimously agreed that the plan would, if it were executed, he beneficial to the public; no injury was considered likely to arise from it to private individuals. and a resolution to the effect that it should he forthwiM proceeded in was adopted. A little more than three quarters of an hour after the Court had commenced business. Mr. :11tletnisn Ileygate came in, aceompa. Died by Mt. Bousfield and Mr. Clark, inhabitants of Chatham place. The LORD MAYoßstated to them, that although the Conrt, as they had not attended in proper time, had resolved on the measure. yet it was willing to hear anything that might be offered against the plan. MT. Alderman IIEYOATE, as a Member of that Court, and as one of the inhabitants, objected to the plan as highly injurious. It was intended to raise the space before the housea. The consequence of this would be, that the apparent elevation of their premism would thereby be diminished, the view from them would be ob structed. awl their value would be consequently lessened. They obiect - t1 to the new system, independently of the increase in height. They were convinced that it would be productive of infinitely more dust and dirt than the present pavement was, and that it would prove a source of infinite annoyance. Ile (Mr. Alderman ilevgate) objected that the Commissioners of Sewers had no power under the Act to make such an extensive change. It only cuipow- teed them to repair the pavement, but not to raise it. The LORD MAYOR, Mr. JONES, and sir. Deputy WALTER, • delivered their opinions at length upon the subject. They were detente of opinion that Blackfriar's Bridge ought to be Macadamised. and that tho descent from it, which was at present highly den remits; should he lessened as much as possible. They did not con cider the alterations proposed would have the effect on the premises anticipated by the inhe iitants. They were willing, however, to do svezything in their power to accommodate the latter, as far as was conilbaent with public benefit. It was then moved that the Select Committee, which is empowered to carry the work into execution, should be inatruete d to confer with the inhabitants, and make any alterations that they might suggest. if they were found practicable. This Resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. Alderman HETOATE pressed his objection as to the power of the Committee to act in such a case. The Act was read, and it appeared that the Commissioners were autttovised to take up the pavement, and make such alterations as they thoneht necessary. Mr. Alderman 11EYOATE contended that the alteration was not necessary. The inhabitants were content with the pavement as it now was. The LORD Mayo* said, since the question lied come to this. whether the new plan was or was n o t necessary, he gave his °O man decidedly in the affirmative. He had lived near the spot all his life, and knew the descent of the bridge to be highly dan gerous. The pavement with which the Worthy Alderman was cont:ett, was at times as slippery as glass, and the accidents which took place upon it were inces.sant, both to carriages and to those who went over on horseback. It was not impossible that the VW, llke every other improvement, might be disadvantagemis to some individuals, though beneficial to the public at large; but he had little doubt that the inhabitants themselves would have reason to be pleased with it as won as it was carried into execution. The resolutions mentioned were ordered to be carried into excels -400 forthwith, wheo the Meeting separated. -- ----- WATCH AND CL SOCIOCK MAKERS' PENSION' ETY.

Avis saw the two prisoners on the watch for the audience coming out, and knowing them to be reputed thieves, he took them into custody.

Colson, lessee of the Highgate Archway Turnpike, appe on behalf of one of the tool collectoes, . mimed ta answer the complaint of a Mr. Bingham, for an unjust demand of toll. Mr. Bingham stated, that on the 15th inst. he passed through the gate in a glass coach, and paid the toll then demanded, and re ceived a ticket. On returning to town, though lie had - not passed through any other gate, the toll was again demanded, and on pro 'luting his ticket, he was told that it was useless, as persona must pay for each time they pass. As Mr. Bingham had passed the I MOW gate about six weeks ago, without a second demand for toll, and as he conceived that there could be no rational meaning to giving tickets, if the tell could be detnanded every dme a person tent ffirbugh the gate, he felt it Ida duty to have the magistrates' I.Piton the subject. r7Collon in defence, stated, that the collectors were authorised ta deman^lie sum of sixpence on every horse passing through, but that "there was a private understanding between hint :rid the trwstees m permit vehicles • bleb arc private property to pass with oat toll, but to demand it frmn all that are lure . ; in ream of fact, Lit was quite optional with hint what ho demanded, as far as the sum of sixpence (the limit prescribed by the Turnpike Act), and he was at liberty to indulge his own caprice from whom and how often in the day he extracted the toll. Mr. Sergeant SELLON (with whom concurred Mr. Marmaduke Sellers) observed, that though the trustees of the Highgate Arch way Toll may consider it private property, and of course make private regulations, they ate still amenable to the Turnpike Road Act, and that they should so far conform to the clauses in that act, as to have it distinctly written on their board, what vehicles are, and are not subject to toll, without subjecting passenger , to be 'le , pendent on their whims. It was a very irregular mode of pro ceeding. SET.LON' observed, that if such capricious demands were, ' made on him, be would certainly dispute the . paywent of them. As the Turnpike Act bore the trustees out 'awaking the demand, ,the magistrates were compelled to diunfie the coniphilat, not, how.

Rtnewiten Dorrputte.—Charks Talbot, one of the " Deny 11n11" fraternity, was yesterday chatged with sulawfally collecting dust in the parish of St. George, Ilanover-souare.

Mr. Kelly said, that these frauds were carried on to a great) extent, and to his material injury.

This was a most ruinous practice, as these fellows obtained gratis what he (Mr. Kelly) paid the parish several thousand pounds a-year for. he Magistrate ordered him to pay a fine of 10/. ; the money not being forthcoming, he was committed to prison for a month.

MARY-LA-110NNE OFFICE. Sot x nriwo.—Yesterday a young and very intelligent lady re quested the advice of the Magistrate under the following circum stances : The fair applicant stated herself to be the friend of a foreign lady, who, a short time since, had established herself in the neig h : bourhood of Regent-street, in the fancy millinery business, and as in the habit of displaying some of the gayest of ibs Par cadet. She had only conimenced,business a few dam whoa *pm ann. dressed in the most elegant and fashionable style, entered the shop, and gave some orders in the business, by direction of a lady of equally dashing exterior, who accompanied him, and desired the articles to be sent to a house near Lisk-street. They were accord. ingly kft, as were also goods, the subject of an order su bse q uentl y meek; but no motley could be obtained, and the French lady had the misfortune to learn, that she had been duped by a swindler of most accomplished impudence amid address, as he turned out to ba. He had, even after incurring those debts, called at the shop, sad was•about moving ofl' with a cap, &c. but was prevented, and per ceiving some wish to detain him, he became alarmed, and darted out, parsnod by the applicant, who demanded payment, and on he , moving off, followed him until he escaped by darting through 'al public-lacuse into another eforonghfare. She wished to know who. ther something could not be done. Mr. Raw noi sox lamented the readiness with which, in oils and many other cases, credit had been given by shopkeepers to mere strangers, who, with the aid of polished manners and address, laid thenieelves out to plunder the public. There appeared, how ever, in this man's conduct a disposition fo defraud; and if what was stated could be proved, he had no objection to give a warrant for his apprehension if he was to be found. The young lady said she really could not say where he was lobe met with; he had Paid he lived in Burton-crescent, but tleat tinned out to be untrue. She wished to know whether, if she met him in the street, she could seize and detain him. Mr. RAWLINSON, sniffing, said „ Yes,' and complimented the amiable girl on the talent and steeliness she had displayed, advising her to detain him if possible, and send for an officer. The young lady and her friend then retired. A COACH TO THE REVIEW. —Yesterday Mr. Alexander, of David-mews, appeared to show cause why lie refused to pay the sum of 11. lbs. for the use of the hackney-verb No. Iti on the day 1 of the review of cavalry on Hounslow-heath, by the Duke el York, early in the last month. It appeared from the statement of the driver, that he was engaged to take the defendant and some friends on an excursiun of pleasure, and accordingly took into and on his coach grown persons of thel defendant's party to the number of twelve, and drove them through Hyde Park Gainer gate to Hounslow Ileath, where they entop‘ei sod saw the review. Ile at night returned with his land, and de- posited theta at defendant's dwelling, and was asked how much lia limited. Ile replied 355. but they would only give hie: 20s. wiach, prit liking to take, lie refused; and knowing them , calle d repeated 11y, but they refused to pay any inure; so he, by direction of '• his l i mner," summoned them. The defendant called a wiener'' , who declared that the coachman had agreed before starting for the 20s. and knew lie was to have its more. Besides, all expenses were paid, and he and his horses were very li berally refreshed. your Honour, I declare on my davy all I had wart slice ofhread and cheese and a pint of beer. The poor horsy bad plenty of " heavy wet." for it rained all day. Defendant—Aye, the horses! You know we had seven miles to walk ; as they releseJ to pull any more. Do you recollect that ?

Yesterday Daniel Wedgeworth Magin, residing in Deromltire street, Mi/e-eud, who was dressavi in the pink of the fashion, was placed at the bar, before Jou K 11 A aim ICI, lisq• under the tul lowing circumstances:— A highly respectable tradesman, residing in the same neifih bourhood with the prisoner (whose name we forbear to nlll6Oll, particularly as it involves the character and future prospects of an amiable and interesting young lady) stated, that on that morning, about five o'clock, as he was preparing to conic to town, he hid an occasion to go into the kitchen, and from thence to the coal-cellar, where, to Ins great surprise and astonishment, he htund the pri soner, who he immediately collared, and questioned as to his busi ness there, and the account be gave of himself was so unsatisfac tory, and under the circumstances so hurtful to his feelings as a parent, that he was going to inflict summary justice, were it rot for the interference of his son ; he „ however, detained him, and sent for Lee, an officer, who took !Urn into custody. In answer m a question from Mr. 11 a nwicx, the com and plainant said his daughter, a young woman I; )ca rs of age, had slept, did on that night, sleep in the kitchen. Mr. HARDWICK—Is she now in attendance to give evidence ? The complainant said not, that her mother had taken her a few 'irides into the country. (Isis feelings became so affected as to excite a general sympathy in all who were present except the prisoner, who stood unmoved.) It further appeared, on referring to the books in the office, that the prisoner had been there beliire, in a case not quite so honour able to his gallantry as the prttent, and for which he was sent to sojourn in the House of Coriection tOr three months. The prisoner admitted being found as described, and said he had the honuur of a previous acquaintance with the lady before to llu Parded to, that he had on the day before d etermined on going is, where he intended to soend a hew weeks, and he merely called on that morning to take his leave of the lady, and gently rapped at the kitchen-window, where he knew she slept, which was imme diately opened by her ; as it blew a sheer northern blast at the time, she raised the window and let him in, and as they were in the net of exchangnig vows of eternal constancy, they were interrupted by the near approach of comp:einem, and he (the prisoner) , i n oilier to save the lady's reputation, made a precipitate retreat into the coahlude, where he was found. The complainant said, the prisoner was a married man, and had a family. The prisoner was asked who and what he was, and how he got his living?—He said he was a surgeon on half-pay, belonging to the sth Dragoon Guards, and a Member of the Royal Colleges of London, Dublin, and Paris, anti bets een his half-pay and his literary engagements, his income was HOWL a-year. Mr. HARDWICK asked what was the nature of his literary en. memento The prisoner said he was editor of two papers, and hoped his Wonibip would not press him to name them, as he was bound to secrecy. The Biagi:trate said, that under all the circumstances of the case, and in the absence of the young lady, there was no evidence to Phew that he was secreted with a felonious intent. lie was dist hared with a severe admonition front the Magistrate, and an order to the officers to kccp a strict eye on ham for the future. UNION-HALL. RD/INERT AND RlGART.—Vesterday a man, named Joseph Pitt, was brought before H. J. CHAMIBERS, Esq. for re-examine. 'Clow, in the custody of Painter, a Constable of Bermondsey, charged on suspicion of listing robbed Mr. Drew, a Solicitor, of the aim of bit. in sovereigns and silver. In the course of the infinities relative to the roomy stolen, it was discovered that the prisoner had married two wives, upon which charge, as well us the felony, he was now placed at the bar. On the charge of bigamy being entered into, the second wife, a fine young woman, dissolved in tears, stepped Mtwara, and stated her maiden name to have been Elizabeth Meadows, and that she was married to the prisoner in the Parish Church of Greenwich, in I the month of January, 1824. (Shea here produced the document of her marriage, which certified that ct.) The first wife, who we observed in earnest conversation with the prisoner some length of time before the investigation commenced, was now called ou to produce the certificate of her marriage to the prisoner. She appeared very loth to come forward, but, after a good deal of hesitation and stammering, and after having been asked by the Magistrate whether she was married to Pitts, her re ply was, " Oh, no; I am not his lawful wife; we used to live as man and wife, but were never married." Painter, the constable, here produced a copy from the marriage register of Birmingham Old Church. First wife—l have been married to a man of the same name, and who very exactly resembled the prisoner, but he ran away from me, and I took up with his namesake (at the bar) afterwards. I de. dare he is not my husband ; and to prove to the world ht Is not, I will now resign him up to that lady (pointing to the second wile), as she is more entitled to him than I am. Magistrate—You will hare the satisfaction in finding that he is your husband, instead of your being his mistress. Mr. Cir.vstnras asked the second wife whether the prisoner had received ary property from her on their marriage ? In reply, it was stated that he had. Mr. CRAMDERN, in remanding the prisoner, directed that the bridegroom and bridesmaid, who witnessed the first marriage, might be in attendance on Wednesdereek: "Loma YOUNG DREAM." At Queen -square, yesterday, a little, genteel, smartish young gentleman, of most pompous demeanour, appeared un a summons before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Al ARKLAXI). The complainant, a teopeemble looking old man, ated, that his premises were haunted by th.s personage as by a g h osts ; that he had made several exertions to exclude him, and had actually come to blows on the matter. but in vain—all his efforts, peaceful or otherwise, were unavailing, the intruder still annoyed his habi- Wisdom.

Well, Sir (to the defendant) what have you to say against this extraordinary charge ? In answer. the accused very deliberately laid by his haull of his gloves, wiped his mouth wit h a Bandana, organ t, p ised his cravat, threw forward his right foot, and then, is a measured tone of oratorical solemnity—May it please your Worship, well mul truly have you denominated this a omit e x t r aordinary charge, and I flatter myself that in the morn of ashort train of argument and illustration, I shall make suck an impreasioaoa your Vl'orship's judicial faculties -- Mr. Alstuttn•ten--Oh dear.

Mr. MARILLAND—That's quite a different thing from the last. Ts she 21? Accused—Sir, she has, in coolklence to me, confessed seven and twenty. Mr. Maitwcastn--Then we may put her down at thirty-one.

I wish to keep him off my pre. miser, he annoys me at all hours ; the moment I go out at one door he steals in by the other; and when 1 come in through the hall he sneaks out through the back pod, and jumps over the wall into his mother's garden. My daughter may do what she will, but he shall not do an) thing on niy premises at least. Mr...lllllll[Laliu--Why do you intrude into the man's premises thus?

EITAIMMAX.—IIe does not understand the nature of an oath. M'jtness.—lics, Massa ; know well ; belly will swell. The CHAIRMAN desired that he should be examined without ad ministering the oath. The .witness was then admonished, and told, that if he swore false, he would suffer the sante punishment as the prisoner would be subjected to.* Witness deposed, that his mother was sick. She and prisoner were conversin F together, hut he did not kno w what the y were talk. ing about. Vi one's asked prisoner, .as he was sent to his mother by the overseer. why he would not go ? Prisoner told him he was not a doctor. Witness told hint that he did his mother so (made his mother sick.) He (prisoner) MIDI he was going to see what he could do, whether he could get her bet ter or rot. Prisoner told him the boa in his mother's back stood cross, and if it came out she would be better. Witness explained, that the prisoner meant that there was an iron bar across his nmther's over me I under her skin. Prisoner said, •• she hail too many things in her skin, besides the Iron bar, for there was foots, and glass, and novel l i node." Witness carried him up to the overseer, who asked pri sorer if what witness told hint was true, and witness said " you can't deny it:" prisoner only answered " I hear you." Heard prisoner say he took teeth front his mother's bark. When pet toner first began, he stripped his mother naked, called fee tester, then runt, and put his mouth to his mother's skis, sucked it, spit out teeth, then glass. and was going on. Wit ness asked why he bit his mother? He said •• to get out the emote." Witness then made him believe he was asleep, (and it appears did go to sleep.) When awake, he said to prisoner, that before he made his mother cry, cry, he'd rather to kill her, as he could not bear to see it. Prisoner told witness there was some. thing in the ground which did his mother so, and which be might take out, who !refusing, prisoner took out himself teeth, some pieces of gime bottle. anal other things, all tied ther. Witness asked how these things could catch his mother. Prisoner replied, " if you take a hair out of a person's head, and put it into the ground with them node, it will catch the somebody the hair come flow." Iltness saw the artics. Prisonr told hint to open the bag, but he would not. Now for the first e time, (the bag being produced), opens it, (by order of the Court.) On the prisoner's opening it. witness found teeth and other things in it. Saw the articles himself taken out of his mother's flesh. He does not now see any fire coal, which he once saw, before his met , they died. These things were given to hint by witness, to be thrown away. Prisoner's mother died two days after these things were taken out of her skin. IVittiess now explained himself by stating, these articles are like those given him. but without the fire-coal ; has at home what were given hint. Does not know how the pet. aoner came to know he had not thrown them away ; but when wit ness told him he had done so, prisoner said he lied, for he had hid them. " Prisoner too knowin and triekify ai.d very clever in *bah business." He sail, if witness gave him breakfast, he would cure his mother, or would prisoner be satisfied if he could not cure her ~q uite, Willie was made strong enough to make tire for hint ; witness said he would. Prisoner asked if witness would . pay him then 1 Witness said yes, if he was forced to borrow to give him. Wit ness's mother was ill for a very long time, and was thrown up as an invalid. Prisoner only took the cure about two or three months before she died ; thinks his mother would have died, whether pri ' soner had been with her or no. Prisoner said that he was set on by persons to hurt her. She was ill for a year and a half of the same sickness. Charles King, a negro . belonging to Dawkins, who Pays he is Christian, and giving rational answers on his examination, of his idea of an oath, was sworn. This witness, however, was so stupid, that nothing could be made of his evidence. Anthony James, a Christian, sworn .—Was directed by the over seer to take prisoner to the old woman named Parted& He went with him to the old woman. Prisoner asked for salt, which was given him. He went out and got some lime, caplet for rum, which he got, threw it into rum and salt, and took out • bag from his pocket (which was produced). Prisoner opened it, and ,hewed the witnesst some soap, berries, chalk, and shell ; took six, threw them in weer. when four swam, and two sunk. He said there was something in the tild woman's skin, Ile took chalk and marked the old woman's skin ; put his mouth to old woman's skin, held it hard and shook it like a dog b itin g , and s p it out some gla ss and teeth, which he said came out of the old woman's skin ; witness searched prisoner's mouth, saying* no Barbie, you have it in your mouth and make me tool ; f faun nothing in prisoner he 's mouth, who again sucked out teeth and gloats bottle ; swears saw it with his eyes; would not believe it else • after that he took lime and rubbed all over her, then mixed the chalk and lime, and bid her drink, which she refused, saying if it was good he must drink too, but prisoner would not. Prisoner left the old woman. She complained of his hurting her, and be wrs sent again by the over seer to take charge of her. Prisoner is a field negro .•M•lood knows t tha the overseer jent the prisoner to take care of her. Mr.. the trustee of the property, sent the prisoner to a:tend her • the old woman was sick for two years • complaint was made to the overseer that the old man had made her sick ; she lodged the complaint ; prisoner was put in the stocks; muster (Mr. M•Leod) told the overseer to send the prisoner to take charge of her ; prisoner was sent to attend the old woman until she got better • when witness was asked the reason for prisoner being in the stocks, he said it was from the complaint of the old woman that prisoner would not re main with her ; DT. Brown was attending the old woman at the time; after the old woman died, witness carried the teeth and bag to the overseer ; witness asked prisoner where these articles were ; he said he burnt them, but afterwards being ordered te find them, witness went with prisoner and found them in prisoner's shipmate's house, hid in the top. Mr. Edmund ll'hittaker sworn,-Is overseer of the prop some time in January last, the old woman Pamila , wh oiew, dead, made a complaint to him that this man, the prisoner, had obeahed her. Ile sent for him and asked him how he had done, such a thing, and whether he could cure he: ? Ile told witness he was not a doctor, but would try what he could do ; witness then told hint to go and attend the old woman as she had requested it. In the course of ten days after, iilr. 111•Leod, who was his attorney, came on the estate, and he acquiesced in his proceeding. After this man had been with her for about one month, he was brought with this glass bottle and hogs' teeth in his possession (now produced). The old woman was then alive and came with him, and told him at the sane time that the prisoner said lie would not attend any longer, unless he was paid as other doctors. (A laugh.) Wit. ness was then coming to town, and he ordered prisoner to go back and attend and cure her. In consequence of his objecting to mind' the old woman, they placed him in the stocks in witness a absence until his return. ‘S - hen he returned, he immediately ordered hint out, observing, that lie would have no frightening of the negroes. The day previous to the woman's death, the witness, Anthony James, brought the prisoner to him with the rew minder of the hogs' teeth, and, at the same time, informed him , dud the ba which the prisoner usually carried his obeli things in, s wa g s not to be found. He asked prisoner what he had dune with it ; he said he had burned it : he told Anthony James to go back and look for it, and then he brought the bag (which is now produced) with the articles now in it. In the first Instance, when complaints were made of the prisoner having done something to Pamela, she said in his presence, it was because she would not be connected with him ; prisoner then said he would try what lie could do for her : she was ill for 15 months; the Doc tor had attended and prescribed for her, but she would not take the medicine, being always possessed with the idea that no one else but prisoner could cure her. The Doctor who attended, said it MUM a dropsical case, and did not know but it might have been produced from other than natural causes. She used these words before she died, " Andrew hail done her so." The Doctor pre seethed medicine ; she would not take but one dose, and that was given by the prisoner. Prisoner is considered an obeah man, though no guilt could be attached to him previously. The Doctor is not in attendance. To a question by the Court--Witness said, that when per teeth were taken out, witness afterwards sent pnsouer to take care of lier. To a question by a Juror—Witness replied, that the old woman said, in the presence of prisoner, that no other but prisoner could cure her, when prisoner said he would try. The Chairman said, that the witness must recollect that he had consulted with him as to the necessity of an inquest being held cie the deceased. On that occasion the witness had tuld him that there were none hat natural causes to which her death could be attri buted, anti under those circumstances he had considered an inquest unnecessary • had he stated what be had just said, his opinion would have been the reverse. He wished the witness to account' for thia variance. The witness said, that she m:glit have died of the dropsy, of which there were three kinds. She appeared to have water between the cuticle and the flesh. To a question from a Juror he replied, that the deceased was sick fifteen months before the prisoner attended her ; the deceased lisil said in witness's and the prisoner's presence, that the pri- • B; one of the clauses of the Slave Law, it is provided, that a false witness shall sorer the same punishment as the prisoner would be subject to, it found guilty. It is under this clause, we believe, that slaves, not aware of the nature of a christian oath. are admitted to give evidence without being sworn. We doubt, however, whether this is a ligititwate construction of the statute. By the rules of evidence, a witness must be sworn according to his faith, as a Mahotnetan on the Alcoran ; and therefore where a negro thinks kissing the bible will occasion his death, if he takes a false oath, we conclude, lie might be sworn. If a witness be not sworn, his evidence cannot, we should conceive, be received, ac. cording to the rule of law by which even a Peer, in similar cases, is not admitted as a witness, but on oath. In criminal cases, the maxim of law is, •, that no one is believed who is not sworn." Our cotemporaries, who are Magistrates, because they are dutiful to the "falba semivir," will explain this if they can. seater Al bee so because she wonld not let him have eo wee d o .. Kith her. The hosts' teeth. broken glass, chalk. fire-c-tat, dnge teem horn, shark Lames, soap berries, and three or four e lit g: ,,,, r with sundry other ffbealt tools in the Lag were produced i dcnce, and identified as the prisoner's. The prisoner in his defence, commenced by stating, that he was not an ()bath man to kill, but an Oheah man to cure, (that i s w e suppose, as they used to say in England, be was not a black wit. ,card, nor a whtusey white, nor grey wiezard, but a white o re , ' The Court advised hint to be silent, and not convict himse:f. ' The f:main WAN charged the Jury. After adverting et e ,,,,,, length on the clauses, (the 4901 and 5311) or the Cor.solalat e d Si . re Law, under which the prisoner was indicted. he said, that thougt, the lati stated, that if the subject matter of an indictment wor e set out so as to meet the evidence, that no exception should be 2 ,p.,„ til as to twin, yet he considered the words of the indictment too vague to sustain the count under which the prisoner, being ch arg ... a •• willi practising Obi, with intent to kill and Injure certain Dep, and other slaves," would be subject to lose his life. The law m requiring that no objection should he taken as to form, was moat 1 salutary ; but it could not be construed, so as to support the prtseLt case- The Jury would consider shut the Court stated to betile:t tiny,ression, that the words " certain negro and other Carte' Cid not set out the offence so precisely as might hare been done, an d as the Conn considered necessary. With regard to the charge, against the prisoner, of having materials in his possession. t a w_ nously used in the practice of Ohcah, time can, we submit, (. 3 4 the Chairman), be no doubt of the prisoner's guilt. This pact offence subjects him to transportation. His Honour then read the clauses of the law, under which the prisoner was indica:l, Ltd _ commented on the evidence. The Jury retired for some tins, sad returned their verdict_ Guilty of having in his possession mattrials notoriously ureA! ia ..he practice of °bath. On the suggestion of the Coroner, the Jury desired the Cierk or the Price to amend their verdict, by adding titc words No: guilty of the other charges in the indictment." ills Worshir, the Chairman, then passed sentence. He thus ad. dressed the prisoner :—You have been found Guilty . of having i s your possession, tools notoriously used in thepratice of (finish, fbr this offence you are subject to transportat ion, you have m o o wonderfully escaped with your life, your offence is most lieisou ; (the prisoner here said in a low voice, " Ees my goo d Al uu, tankc, evidently not understanding hi, Worship, who thus ervi.

There is a person at present going about, in varietts parts et the Metropolis, who represents himself as heing closely allied to a certain noble family, the name of which he has assumed foe tie most villainous purposes. lie has discovered that a young gisuk. man of his own age, and corresponding appearance. actually steads in the degree of relationship that he claims to the Patrician ham alluded to ; and having by some means become possessed of suet matters connected with the person in question, he has played et sonic capital times on the tradesmen at the West-end. Team, matchmakers, and jewellers, have been the principal saflercis.

A few days ago, he called at the house of bs Messrs.

After long examination, and many inquiries as tote different properties of duplex. horizontal, and escape works, nally heed on one, a very valuable gold watch, capped and jeacllb, for which he agreed to pay fifty guineas, and desired that it mutt ' I be sent to the house of his noble relative, where he was to dine, 4 he would psy for it on delivery, as he did nut happen to have c suflieient at the moment about him. The gentlenian departed, sd ' the watch was folded op for delivery at the spscitird time; but `e ' fore that arrived, a livery servant (who had not appeared is morning) presented Mr. Cooper with a note contaicirg a cbequesa a banking.house for the amount, and a request that the walk I might be delivered to the bearer. Nut suspecting a cheat, the nib I was given up, and on the following day the cheque was resented, for payment, when, it is needless to a:'d, the answer to the apb. It cation was. "No provision."
