The happy pair were pursued by the father Of the gentleman and a discarded lover of the lady, who overtook them at A Inwick, but notwithstanding the itnpc ?alive dictates of tho father, and the earisent entreaties of tlf forsaken and disconsolate swain, the fugitives still lour wit:id their route, and are ere this locked iu the bonds of DL'ATII Or• MR. SADLER. In our last paper - we gave an account of the ascent of Mr. Smiler from 'idiom onlYednestlay, and the accident be and Ilia halloon met with ; we i:ow regret to state that the in trepid aeronaut has not survived the injury he received, but di, d about eight o'clock on Thursday morning. The , following particulars are from • Manehater I'aper of Sstortlay : •• It is our painful tank to have to record another fatal accident, arising from the dangerous and useless practice of aerostation. Pursuant to his public notices to tbat efreet, .Nlr. W. It'. Sadler, soon after twoo'clock on Wei n, sday last, ascended in his balloon ftom the yard of the Bolton Gas Works, aecompanied by an Irishman named Dnnell, who jr, now a watchman in Liverpool, 'tuft led been employed in the Liverpool Gas Yard, under Mr. Sadler, whit that gentleman was engaged in he establish ment of the works there. The ascent was majestic ; but the weather being windy and very cloudy, the balloon, which rose quiel4y, was soon carried out of sight. It proceeded at first .in a north-easterly direction, but ap pears to have subsequently changed its course to one of due north. About three, as our accounts state, but we are inclined to think it must have been somewhat earlier, the balloon was seen deteendin; , , rapidly, very near the works of 31trins. Simpson, and 10., at Fox Hill Bank, four miles ea't of Blackburn, ann3 or I north of Bol ton, and Mr. Sadler threw out his grappling iron, which attached itself to a tree. Unfortunately, however, the rope broke, and the balloon was carrie s forward several hundred yards, sometimes dragging the car on the ground, and sometimes dashing it against trees, houses, or what ever happened to be in the line of its course. at length the ear struck against the chimney of a cottage, belonging to cfexvrs. Snot/Dams Haigh, and Co., which it knocked aeon, whilst, by die violence of the concussion, Mr. Baer was thrown out, and one font having become en tangled amongst the cords, hung, some accounts • ty, with his head downwards. Other reports state that he was unseated at the time the grappling cord broke, and had hold of a rope by the hands. Be this as it may, the balloon. after striking the chimney, rose again a little, and ha a few moments Mr. Sadler was precipitated frmn a height of 20 to OS yards to the ground. He fell in a small meadow very near Messrs. Simpson and Co.'s print-works. The accident was seen by many spectators, and assistance was innuerliately on the spot; Mr. Sadler was Mund in a state of insensibility, and carried to the Drift, a neighbouring public-house. Surgical aid was in stantly sent for, and. on examination, Mr. Sadler's skull was frond to be terribly fractured, a considerable portion of it compressing the brain. This injury he ia believed to pare received previous to his fall front the balloon, when the car struck the chimney. Some of his ribs were broken, and his body 'was otherwise much bruised. In addi tion to the medical gentlemen of the neighbourhood, Mr. Below and Mr. I)ugdale, of Blackburn, attended him as' soon as possible; and by the former gentleman the mecca wiry surgical operation was performed on his skull, and several loose pieces of hone were removed. All, however, was in Vain ; he lingered, speechless, though apparently In a state of great suffering, until eight o'clock on Thurs day, when lie expired. l'be balloon, lightened by Mr. Sadler's ejection from it, rose again (his companion, who states himself to have been fur sometime previously insensible, but aroused to a de gree of coonciousircas by hearing the shrieks of the spec tators at seeing Mr. Sadler's full, remaining at the bottom of the ear), and wars carried on, by the force of the wind, shout four miles northward, to the neighbourhood of Whalley. Having by this time, in some degree, recovered his presence of mind, Donnell palled the valve-cord and began to descend; but finding the ground unfavourable for alighting, he closed the valve again, and the balloon having been trailed along the ground some distance. the car at length came in contact with some rails, which di vided two fields, and he was thrown out by the shock. In the fall he broke his left arm, and remised as very severe contusions upon the head and body. lie was enabled, however, to bear being carried back to Bolton the saute evening in a chaise, soil now lies at the Eagle and Child Inn, in that town, with every prospect of recovery. The balloon, freed by ie lora of both its passengers from all ineumbtance, again rose, was borne northwards towards Yorkshire, and has not since been heard of. Mr. Sadler, whose fate has excited an uncommon degree of public in terest and sympathy, was the son of a distinguished aerial navigator (who is still living), and had himself acconiplish ed thirty voyages in safety, amongst which was the peri luus enterprise of crossing the Irish Channel; he ascended at Dublin, a few years ago, awl inteuded, if possible, to reach Liverpool, but was taken up by a boat at sea on the coast of Wales. Having from his frequent ascents ob tained so much experience, he had acquired a degree of self-possession, and of dexterity in the use of his unwieldy vebiel,,, which makes it certain that the fatal termination of chic, his let excursicn, is owing to one of those gecidenta, against the danger of which it is not probable that either intrepidity or skill will ever suffice to protect those, who venture on this halardous nrode of travelling. Mr. Sadler some time ago fixed his residence in Liver pool(whcre he had an establishment of warm, medicated, vapour bathe), and by the excellence of his disposition soul character, had obtained the respect and careen' of a nume rous vilely of friends. Early intimation of the accident he had sustained, having been transmitted to Isis family in Liverpool, Mre. Sadler on receiving it set out, in a state of mind which cm be snore easily conceived than described, to the pie where her husband lay. She passed through Blackburu on Thursday afternoon; but would, of course, on her arrival at Hollitroyda, find that lie bail ken dead many hours. Mrs. Sadler, we understand, is left with one chill, and in an advanced state el ineresney ; and it is feared in pecuniary circumstances, which will give her a strong claim on public sympathy. In Bolton, we aro in formed, a subrcription has already been opened for her bensifit. Anothrr awful occurrence was coincident with this shock ing cataatropho. Mr. Blenkinsop, the landlord of the public-house, at Hollitroyds, to which Mr. Sadler was car ried after Lis accident, ran elf instantly with great speed, and in much 14 , 011+614 to Accrington, for a surgt on. He had ra•umed lomat r.OO yards of his way homewards, when he was seized with an apoplectic tit, fell down, and instantly expired. He was a man much r?siwctill, and has left a wife i , tol fain ily of four children, to deplore his end den and untimely death. DESCENT OF A YOIJNO LADY IN AN AIR BALLOON. An extraordinary sensation was produced the other day at CueLlield l'air, in Sussex, by the descent of a large bal loon in the midst of a crowd stssembkd at the fete. It being a great horse and cattle fair, as well as ove'uf statist— ment. then• was a vast assemblage of persons of 01 classes, and the aeronauts, whose names we have not kanit, de scended in the very heart of the fair. The first sensation produced en the crowd e.f peasants, many of whom had never seen a balloon before, was very great, and their astonishment was considerably increased by seeing an elegant young lady step out of the car. The immeg imme diately set of in a post-chaise for Loud*. We have not yet beard whence the balloon ascended. Going up in air-balloons has of late beanne a very fashionable recreation. It is a remarkable circumstance, that more ladies have ventured to make this, than almost any other novel experiment, in which there is ce•tainly sonic little danger. Upwards of forty-five female onauts may be enusrersted, out of which only two have suet with any accident. Aftritveics' lieserruva.—We understand that Mr. James llorsfall was yesterday appointed Librarian to the Mechanics' Institution for the. ensuing year.

At the close of his examination on Friday, Mr. Faitt:tle roy 'retired to Mr. Conant's private residence, which is next door to Nlarlherough-street office, and was ushered into the drawing-room, where he wink upon a chair, and exclaimed, " Thank Uod, it is over !" To the officers who were present he remark( d, that the examination had been painful; but that his crud was too agitated to recognise any one, or to enable hits to pay any attention to the progress of the in vestigation. To Mr. Broderick and Mr. Butler (Mr. llar mer's clerk), who came into the room, and conversed with him, he pro".ised to communicate whatever wax deemed necessary to the arrangement of his defence. The exten sive accounts of the late firm of Marsh and Co. were also incidentally mentioned, and the prisoner expressed the ut most anxiety to afford every assistance towards their duci dation. _ _ . Between four and five o'clock he was informrd that he must be conducted back to Coldhath-fields, when, with an alacrity that 'hewed he had somewhat recovered from his former depr scion, he caught up his hat, tirseended the stairs without assistance, and took his scat in the coach, with an offic.7 on each side. At the gate of the prison, the coach was met by Mr. Vickery, the governor. On alight ing, and going up the steps leading to the clerk's Milts., he slid to Mr. Vickery, " 1 am very happy once snore to see the inside of the prison, as one more day is over. - Since his committal he has occupied one of the State rooms ; it is one of the most desirable in the prison. and commands an extensive view of the Highgate and Hampstead hills. He passes his time principally iu writing and reading. Two men attend him throughout the day, and take their meals in the same room. At night one of them is with drawn. These precautions are deemed necessary to guard against any attempt at self-destruction. To his keepers he is extremely courteous. He is treated with indulgence, and he is allowed wine at his dinner. The restrictions ap pear to have no other cbject than his safe custody and self preservation. Mr. Vickery stated to Mr. Conant, the Magistrate, the mode in which he treated his prisoner, which met the entire approbation of the Magistrate, who at thp ,iame tive observed that the legal advisers of the prisoner were to liavo free access to him, but on no account was any friend or relstivc to be permitted to see him without the Maeistrate's permission. Mr. Fauntleroy's mother is, we understand, in her 70th year. Severe illness has confined her to her bed. Happily the prudent foresight of those around her have, by con cealing the late disclosures, spared her feelings the shock they must have undergone front a knowledge of the unfor tunate situation in which her son is placed. EXTRAOIWINARY .4N4TICISM. [From the Mau-he:ter Garrdian.l On Saturday last an Inquest was held at the Colliers' Arms, in i 0 the parish of Ashton-under-Lyne, on the body of Daniel Grinishaw, a child of 14 dm s old, who died on the Thursday pr vious, in consequence of having been circumcised by Mt. Henry Less, of Ashton, about via days beftvv. It appears that for sums time part the followers of Joanna South cote, who arc still very Immerous in and near Ashma-under-Lyne, have in that neighbourhood, and, we understand, In sum others also, adopted the *many notion that they are bound to comply with the tojtmetions of the hlosaical law, respecting the rite of etreum. elision. All, or nearly all, the male believers In that neighbour hood have coosequently submitted to the operation, and have had It performed upon their children, on the eighth day after bitch, in obedience to the directions contained in the book of Genesis. This lamentable delusion, we understand, has prevailed in a limited de gree for several years, though we are nut aware that it is in any way Inculcated in the writings of the prophetess. Of late it has mad:: a very rapid progress. The case excited a very intense interest in the neighbourhood, and there was a great crowd collected about the. house where the Inquest was held. The first witness examined was Mr. Ogden, surgeon, of Ashton, 'stated that he opened the body of the deceased on the ditytrz : 'visa to the Inquest. He found the °buten:a of the thorax, s men, and head, perfectly healthy but the body was much ema. elated. The witness then proceeded to describe the apparels= ' s operatioa Its dam& ZM mortified. atop, child rectal low am, chiltlrta tilled; a twit% to a 20 yeses .1 carried the repeatedly dt '-oe.

Witness (stroking his heed with ;peat self.compluency)—To look like our forefathers of old. Abraham, lute, and Jacob. This was all the evidence adduced. The Coroner then saki, that as the case was one of complete no. velty, before calling on the Jury fur their verdict, he should writs tollr. Raincock, the Banister, and take his opinion on the sub ject. To give time us do this, he should adjourn the Inquest to the k'rilay following. Probably when they nest met, there would be nothing fir the Jury to do but to record their verdict. The Inquest was then lidjourned. Yam. t dLy, accordingly, the Jury re-assembled at three o'clock, at the Commercial Inn, In Ashton, when the Coroner produced and toad an opinion which lur bad received front Mr. Haincoek. It was, In cent, that if any perique chose to perform such an operation as circumcision, unless it As surgically necessary, they must take the consequences upon tbremstlves; and if death should ensue from their unskilfulness, they would, In his judgment, be guilty of Illall• slatighttv. The lwarnad lleneitonan added, that there wuuld per. haps be an exception is did can of Jews, who vete expressly enjoined by their law to perform the rite ; but as at was no part of the ordinances of the Cluistian religion, nu Christian would be jus tified In pc/fanning it. The Jury deliberated for a short dote, and then returned a ver dict of '• Muslin:glans." against henry Lees. Mr. Lem was. in the hou ' se in the custody of the constable of Ashton, and will, of course, be committed to Laactiatcr, to take his trial for the ott•llet. We untlerstaeul that, since the fatal evcnt %lAA gate rise to this Inquest, the rite of circumcision has been perforuie 1, in at least one instance, at Ashton. 9 Pacibus pudenda observAtiv, prreptitium peniGis alacissum invent:. rilaus baud aaneiata erat, atuutien gangrainLartecta eat. re gang: :in, ut opinabstur, ea prieputio ammo beta eat; twit etiant enortia rausa.

Lee. the hardwareman. le, Ilucklersbury, was summoned before the Lotto MAYOR, charged with having assaulted a man seamed flollentl, who hod !wen formerly in his employment, and whom he had caused to be brought before the Lord Mayo: *me days ages. upon suspicion of having raved a receipt in the name of Mr. Waterhouse, of the Swan with Two Necks Inn, 11Adslaae. for a valuable parch!. Holland stated. that afar he had been discharged from the 3lansiomllouse, upon the charges of forgery, of which he was as innocent as his toaster, be applied at the warehouse for wages that were due to him. Upon going thither, he presented his bill to Mr. Lee, and requesult the amount; hut instead of gettin f it, hir. Lee branded him with the name of felon, expressed surprise at the Impudence that dictated tlr., request, and struck him twice in the body. A person who was in the warehouse at the time of the occur reties, stated, that Mr. Lee desired the plaintiff to leave the plate, and upon his rerasal to do so, took bun by the shoulders and puslitd him out. Mr. Lee admitted that he had intimated to Holland that he sru a Moo, and that he had laid hands upon him on account of his re. fusal to depart. The Loan AfATOR said be thought, from the circumstance, of the ease, as they had been detailed to him when the charge t.f burglary was made, that Holland was not the guilty persom It was extremely unfair to brand him with the name of thief, under circumstances that gave rise tow much doubt. It had been suer tainel, since the discharge of Holland, that one of the servants of the Inn had absconded, and that a reward had been offend for his apprehension ; end it appeared that that servant was the very person to whom Holland declared he had given the parcel containing the property, and from whom he had got the receipt stated to be a forgery. Ilia Lordship said, that was one of the many caws he had discharged upon a comparison of the evidence for and against, and lie bed no reason to regret havieg done so. lie then recommended that Mr. Lee should pay the complainant his wars, and that Holland should think no more of the assault. Upon this agreement the parties separated. A man of most venerable appearance, aged 82, the father of De lany, who lost his life in Cloth fair some months age, applied to the Lord Mayor foredvice in his extremity. Ile stated that he had walked all through Ireland in quest of the murderer of his sou, and rat length succeeded .in apprehending him, after. great fatigue of body and mind. !kW ac.companied the prisoner to this country, in the hope of getting trim convicted, but the attempt failed, aver. diet of manslaughter laving been given, and the only punishment iiihicied was that of transpottation for seven years, instead of the gallows, which ought to have been his doom. The old man added, that he was now per.nyless, and wanted to get home tc his own country once more before he died. Ile had, therefore, taken the liberty to apply to the Lord Mayor, to recommend him to the dif ferent villages through which he would have to walk before lie should reach Liverpool, In order that he might, through that means, obtain a trifling aeconirrulation on his journey. Ile was sure that the name of the Lord Mayor, who was this year everything that a man could wish, " God bless him," would obtain for him the as. sistance he sought. The Loup !Heron, having learned where the poor old man had recently lodged, told hien that the parish officers should pass him comfortably to his own country.

Are Ex-Poatct °Frit:Ea.—Mr. Thomas James, • master cabinet-maker, residing in lied Lion -street, ('lerkenwell, came before the Magistrate, in a very muddy condition, to complain that he had just been wantonly thrown down in the street, by John Holliday, • tall, powerful fellow, lately one of the patrol belonging to this Office, who, having a little money left him, became a drunken blackguard, and lost his situation in consequence. Mr. James said, he had reason to believe that he was at a neighbouring public-house, and the .Magistrate immediately directed that he should he brought before him. When he came in_. Mr. James deposed, that as he was passing through Great Russell -street, on particular business, he observed this Mr. Holli day coining in the opposite direction, so drunk, that he staggered from one aide of the pavement to the other ; and upon his attempt ing to make way for hint, he purposely put out his leg sod threw him down ; after which be abused him most grossly. Holliday—lt's • falsehood ! r did not abuse you. The Magistrate desired him to conduct himself more ikaratly, or he should order him to be locked up without farthsreeremosy. Holliday—Very good, your IVorship, but a lye is a lie all the world over. _ klagistrate—Why did you assault this person, when he was civilly trying to get out of your way I Holliday—lag me see ; who is the Moglirtrate t oh I aye, Mr. Minshull.

I assaulted this little rascal because I did nut like the look of him. * - Mr. James said, as it was tory uvident the defendant was under influence of !moor, he did not wish to press the matter, and would be satist:ed with an apology. Holliday—Why then, you littlo rascal, I am sorry to toy 1 humbly ask your pardon. This singular apology put an end to all farther parley, and the Magistrate peremptorily ordered that be should find bail far the asoault; whenupon Ilulliday exclaimed, " Bail be hanged I I should think ten good golden sovereigns would du quite as well ; wouldn't they, my tine old boy ?" Ile was then locked up, though not without some difficulty, and in default of bail mis committed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. T. Pr lend, a watchman of St. Heorges Hanover-square parish, was charged by a Mr. T. Thomas. of lierniondsey-street, New. toad, on suspition of having stulan from lulu the sum of twenty-five pounds. According to Air. Thomas's account, he went into the Coach and Horses public-house, Bruton-street, on Thursday evening, and having taken a glass of ale with a friend who accompanied him, he male out of the house, and had proceeded a short distance up the street, when he missed the M. He returned back and communicated his lose to en oflieer, named Hilbert. The prisoner overhand what he said, and asked what he would give for the money I " Why, a eovereb,m, to be sure," replied the prosecutor; and the bargain having been struck by the 'Wellman, one of the beadles cams up, and having been told what had passed, took Friend to the watch. house. l'he beadle stated, that a few minutes before, Friend had sent down to the watch-house, and requested that he might be Mimed on account of xiMeas. . . . The Magistrate'(Sir G. F ) remarked, that his sending for relief at that vet, time was a singular circumstance. Friend said he was then taken with a severe pain in his side, which he was subject to when he took cold; but with respect to the notes, he positively said that lie found them on the ground, and he shortly *fug met Gilbert ; he told him he had made a pretty good night's work ; that lie had found notes; and that he be lieved, if he could find an owner for them, he would give hint a sovereign for his trouble. Gilbert said lie had met Friend before he saw the prosecutor, and gave a similar statement respecting the conversation. Mr. Barnard, a stable-keeper. and a respectable looking-man, stepped forward and said, that lie was in the room when the prose cutor came in, and that both himself and the person who ACCOM. panied him appeared intoticated. Something was said about a wager being laid, when the prosecutor drew out his pocket-book and a variety of papers, and puuing the three notes foe WI. en the table, lie offered to far the wager with any man. It was not sc. cepted, when he put the papers into his pocktd-book ; and although he was advised to take care of the notes, he put them into his side pocket ; and the witness said he believed that the prosecutor must hare drawn them out when he pm his hand into his pocket. Sir G. FAIIIIANT considered that the prosecutor had not taken ' sufficient care of his money ; and the probability was that he had drawn it out of his pocket. lie also considered that the conduct of the watchman was nit without suspicion. He sent up fur relief im. inethately after he had found the money, instead of carrying it to the watch-house. The evidence was n o t, however, sufficient to do. tain hint, and the money having been restored to the prosecutor, the watchman was discharged. MARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE. Nov►t. FRAUD.

The lad's father appeared before the Magistrates in the deepest distress, and said that unless his son was sent out of the country he was afraid he would c:rau• to the gallows. as he was a-sociated with a most desperate gang of organised thieves.

MR. FFRENCH THE BARRISTER. At Guildhall on flatutday, vrrlTthe sitting M ag s sibm Aldernum Wuon, WM engaged in hearing the causes of th e dip , Mr. Ftrench. the barrister, cute into the Justice Hua i ai mentioned that he had a cue to sate which be conceited sae gr ea t Invettsinws, and would, he was certain, receive the nab,, trate'. serious attention—sit was a eau which some migs4 slimmed to state, but he bad learned not to blush at anytleb ss h„, was not dishonourable; and be came forward on the prew a r Ilion, not front any personal, and sell leak= any vindeaSre ing s _ but purely pro tow publico. Mr. Alderman 11 - 0011 assured the Learned Gentleman L s meld should receive due attention.

On Tuesday morning, his friend had net eons to town, and he became ill an hi, spirits depressed by the d e , I.y ; while in this state, Mr. Sweet informed Mtn, that in ton. ceptence of the new Sherif% evening into office, no bail (mu m be t.ken on that day, and that it was necessary that all penes under arrest for debt should be sent to the several pm, respectively, to he delivered up by the Sheen. prig Out to office to the Sheriffs coating iu ; )Ir. Sweet ammiltrlrly veyed hint, in the most respectful manner, to Irbil ea. street Prison, where he assured him that Mr. Spencer, me li ege, and Mr. Dougias, his deputy, would treat hint with all pose. sible kand.iees, in every respect as became a gent'emen : o f t h e former of those 'steams he did not conailein, but he conceived b had peat remelt to complain of the conduct of the latter. 0 0 ruching prison, he mentioned that he expected his friends re, shortly to release him, and expressed a hope that he should not he placed amongst the general prisoners. Few some ante he was al. lowed to remain in the receiving-room, but understanding that he could rot continue there, and the attending Physician ihnise called to visit the prisoners, he mentioned his state of health sal his painful feelings to that gentleman, who said the only !bit( it was in his pewee to do for him was to give hint a plate in the le. linnet", for his admission to which he accordingly gave an en*. On going to the Infirmary, he found the appearance of none et the patients unpleasant, which made him leave it; he then ode. eared, that it was an unfouunate day, and that before long lie would itinke it known to the public. The Learned Gentlanse here explained, that what he meant by unfortunate day, and malw ing it known to the public, was the impossibility of giving bad, and the necessity of sending persons to prison on that day, wbieti he would make public, for the purpose of having some amendment introduced in the practice. The beamed Gentleman proceeded to state, that he had no sooner made this declaration than 51r. Dough., addressing him, said, " You're come here as a grand reins/nee • follow me;" and immediately conducted him into the body of the_prison where he left him. (It may be mom to mate here, that D ougla s, who was present, positively dnied that hs was the peewit who conducted )Ir. Ffrench into the body of the prison ; and in the course of the subsequent invesigation produced two witnesses, to prove that the Learned Gentleman was mistakes in his person on that necasion. ) (In entering the part of the prison into which he was brought, be was addressed by a person who de. mended his name, which, with much reluctance, he gars. Ha was then iuformed that he should pay 14w; he asked for whet; he was answered for his accommodation in the ware.--he would want light, and he would want to cat, and to partake of the conveniences and condone of the place. Ile assured them he should new, for the time he was to remain there he should pewter darkness to light—le was deterintrusl to prectiseabstineece,aud he hail no wish to Facets of the enjoyments of the society there. He then vent into the ted, where several advised hint to comply with the demand made, bee he determined to refuse. Ile understood, from broken semenes, that some violence was meditated, of which be informed the pow key, who was then in the 'aid, who assured him these was am the least danger. In a little time, however, he am surrounded by we. wards of twenty persona, two of wieen seized him by the arms, sal said he mast go with them to thz ward. To avoid tunher wakes, he went to the ward, where there were a great numbered perms assembled, and one sat in a chair, wheat the others addressed by the title of President, or Judge Advocate, et some ether this er power. Alderman WooD here asked the Learned Otettlemen whether les ' called on any of the turnkeys to come to his sauna= while this violence was committing ? Mr. Ffrench replied, there was no turnkey near at the time. Alderman Woon—Can you identity any of the mums who committed die violence Mr. Firench stated that he could. The worthy Alderman observed, that it aright perhaps have been better if the complaint had been made to him as one of the Una Committee; but, as Mr. Ffrencb could identify 'mem' the persod who committed the violence, it enabled him to act as a Magistrate. N. Fliench proceeded—When he ass brought into the Ward.. room, the person in the chair, with great gravity, commanded strangers to withdraw. The persons who had brought him thaw said to the person in the chair—•• We have brought this man before you for disobedience of Orders." The person ut the chair raid to him—. I understand you refuse to pay your fees." Ile. fore we proceed against ycu you shall hear the regulations read." %Ind was called - the first regulation was then read. It declared that any person brought into the ward, should, within forty-eight hours, pay fourteen shillings. On hearing this, he (Mr. Ftteneht observed, that there was justice even amongst pirates; if they made laws they should abide by them ; be was not forty-eight hours amongst them, nor did he expect to be, and why should they eompel him to 'bay before the time? The Judge Advocate maned staggered at this objection, end a pause ensued; but a voice soon cried out he was a lawyer; it was a legal quirt, and would not do t• this was reechoed by the whole assembly, and tbeJudgo. Advocate told him it was decided to be • legal objection merely, and he must pay without delay. lie was all this time under ap prehension of personal violence; to 1 rceent which he offered them s guinea to take the money they demanded, at the same time saving it was eitorted from hint. They refus to take it in this way. and brought hint to a seat close ma large :ire, where dinner was dram log, and compelled hint to sit there, though he told them hs was ill, and must, as they saw. be roasted t'T baked in a short time, if kept in that notation. Il'itcn he had been there shout a quarter of an hour, suffering torture, a ter.ok, y tame for hint, but dtry re fused to allow him to leave the ream till the turnkey undertook to bring him back. On leaving the meet, he foand his friend had come to town, and though ball could not be taken on that day, had contrived by lodging the money, to procure his release; end he thought it necessary to all for punishment on the persons by whom he had been so ill-treated, is the expenation that it might prevent the recurrence of similar outrages. Mr. Alderman WOOD being under the necessity of going faro the country, Mr. Alderman AAtgILET, sho sad in the Justice. room, went to the prison, for the purpose . of Mr. Firench's identifying the persons who had beta active in coannining the violence. At the prison, all the inmate of the ward in width the Judge.
