IT i I won bad looted between as. Swift had not said a word—not a' syllabi.. When Theralies this person to send down the feet, several others came- I said, " What is the meaning of this ? There Is no arecuity for your conducting yourself in this manner.", A great crowd of men noshed into the room. It was morally int- I rumble to go away without meeting the posse of Mee who ca to la—rimers. reporters, clerk*, ar.d all the people in the establish- went. I see two or three of them at this moment (looking towards the student.' box) whose name', I can mertion. There were 1.111- words et ',sorely in all. The room was quite full. It was nof ; possible to get away. They immediately laid hold of Swift. He is a little roan, smaller and more insignificant than Thwaites They druged him awsy. I blendd have shared the same far, but I put my bark against the wall. The men striolt innumerable blows at me with their naked arms. I had c ough to do to defend myself. Swift au drag. god toel:t's the door. I heard a fa:l and a groan. I cal. culated that they had pitched him down stairs. There was ea., dearly a bill, followed ba AO groan. I never saw him again till I felt hint. Four or f ive of the men came behind me to do toe so Inittry. By hoping my back against the wall prevented them for sane time. As soon as my back was turned to go out they rushed 'pine one, and pushed me down stairs. There I saw them stamping upon Swift, and kicking hint. 1 laid hold of the banister to save myself; but the power of so many people waa too great lor me. I was forced down, and I thought 1 hail breke my thigh. I sae laid cc] the top of Swift. They were all tratoplir .; said kick. tsar in a siolem manner. It was • dark place. I believe he re ceived some dreadful kicks. I was not able to stand. We Mllb wined a great deal of ill-treatment in she lower part of the house. Ow man in particular was busy.

It was about bali-eau drum when I called at the 11crald-offic.... I will solemnly swear it had not gone twelve. I said nothibg to l'hwattes but what I hare stated today. Swift went in with me. It happened acci &ottani that we roomed the office. lie was serving eubliumits in ae important trial relating to the Berwick election. I en; not cer• rain what was the last place we hut been at, whether it was Sir George Aidersten or not. I will swear I was as sober then as I am now. ()wing to the time of night, and the different things that hare happened, tt is impossible for tile to say whet-, we had been last. Ito 1 know it was to subpoena tomehody tor the neat day's trial. We were serving the suhpienas at tltven at night, and coukl tot find everybody even then. 1 was never at l'hwaites's private dwelling. Persons had been at the ilterild office repeatedly foe my papern, and had always received for so. wer that that was nut a proper time. One of those persons Is here. On your oath, Sir, did not Mr. Thwaites desire you more than lace to quit hit room ? Never, to my recollection. Mr. St• AAAAA T-1 give you notice, Mr. Parking, that your finis will be taken down. Now I ask you, on your solemn oath, idler the bell was rung and the persons came into tbe roots, did not Mr. Thwaites request you to leave the office? Witness,. (after a pause, and in an emphatic tone)—l answer no, Sir: but on the c_ntrary. ash yon. uu your meth, whether szveral times before they laid head, nn you or Swift, he dial not say that, if they laid their hands en M:. Sheriff Parkins they should repent it P—Never. On your oath, did you t.ot take one of the men and throw him from the rep to the bottom of the stains?—Never. Dii you not knock a man down ?—No, Sir. flow could I knock ar.pay down, when I was myself pushed down Air St . • Rut before that. Sir?—;Vet, Sir; I knocked as man down, I only lifted my hands up in my own defence, to prevent the men from ehoaking nm. Did not the constable insist upon your going to the watehhoune, fora riot in the street 1.--No, Sir. Did you not assault him P—No. I atten the beadle, Danes: dial you not strike him ?—Certainly Out. llid Dot Swift P—Not I never saw the man he wax capable of striking. He was totally unable to go up stirs when we got to my lodginga. Ile was almost killed. I never saw such men as those at Me Herald. They are many of them Irishmen, none gentle men. Thwakes is two or three inches taller than Swift. Thalium, should say. is a small ratan, and Swift, a short ore. Thwaites eshibits no signs of being a weak or intinn man. Ile is an active amart Man, taller than Swift, lal 1.1 think. Re-raaniintil by Mr. BRCUIIMANI—%Ve had been subpansing witnesses about the Berwick eleetio.i. We had been at many houses. can't say which was the last. lam certain it was between II and 12. 1 called then, because Thwnitta hail told our that that was the most likely time to meet with him. 1 have been writing fur him at two tit the morning at his Ake. ',The witness accompanied his evidence throughout with such strange gesticulat lona, and so frequently manifested an titter forget fulness' of the res t art dile to the Court, that he was more than once admonished by the Lord Chief Justice to conduct himself with ans Thometney.as] Items was then examined by Mr. Eanuttoaat.—ln ilia I was a watchman. On the I;th of April my beat was in Catherine-atrod, S111111(1. I heard • great noise in the inside and at the doer of the Herald office, between eleven and twelve, but nearer twelve 1 went up in ormsequenee; I heard the noise inside before the dna opened. 1 saw a mob of Foyle tome out. I saw Mr. Sheriff' Parkin* and Swift amongst them. Some were in their shirt sleeves. and aims in coats. Mr. Sheriff Parkins and Switt were With eery lame. I assisted Mr. Parkins, who could not walk. I afterwtoda wined Swift. Mr. Sheriff Parkins had a grip or a rose by the ann. I saw Swift do nothing, but 1 saw others do t o Idea, I maw them pushing cud ahevitig hint very eh indeed, add the man was not able to stand. There were somewhere about It of them at once en Swift. They wore pushing him out of the door. They did not wen 10 wil4, to get him further, but to dose the door upon hint. Parkins held fast by the man. They csiuhl tea get Parking out without the man coming also. After he was out of the door, they shovel Suitt violently down 11:sthsruie-street into the Strand. Swift appeared to be very Mime indeed before la came out of the limsv. Vie took them to the watchhouse ; the whole piety went these. W hen they first now oat Parkins pee charge to nne.. There was • general naive as the crowd sprout giving charges. We went to the watelitiouse of & Mary.le-Strand, opposite Somerset !louse. I knew note of the defendants. I saw a person whom I understood to be 'Dormice; I hated the names of Huffman and Young. Swift was scarcely able to speak, and quite unable to nine. I mentioned that 31r. Sherif Parkins had given the first charge, but it was not taken. Mr. Sherrie' was the constable of the night, and it wss the first Yoe he had been an.

Bose afterwards, but none at the door but myself ; the others came' up at the bottom of latherine.street in the Strand ; Mr. Parkins let go of the man as anon as be got out of the dour ; I did not take that man to the watchhouse, I left him and took l'arklni ; the l ' rent went of themselves without assistance ; I left the parish soon afterwards-1 had atimethitig better to do; I was pot in possession' of a little concern by a sister of mine in Denmark-court, Exeter 'stmt ; it warn in the green-gmeery way ; I was there four or five months • • I did rot tar Mr. Parkins there ; I saw him noehere l else till 1 canoe here ; he never called on me, nor I on him ; the , auhprel a was sent to my house in ltenmark.court; Re.ezamined-1 attended at the Session; there was no trial be cause nobody appeared against Mr. Parkins. Mr. Alexander Sheeriff, the eonstabk of the night at the watch. house, CAI the 17th of April, produced the eharge.book. (loth Parkins and Swift seemed lame. The charges were in witness's hand-writing, and signed by Mr. Parkins and the defendant, Lull man. The party was about two hours in the watchhouae ; wit. ness attended the next day at Bow-street. Swift and Perkins were there. A convemation took place, and Mr. flalls, the Magistrate, ' said there inlaid be no riot, there might have been an assault. (Inc l of the printer* said he could find a man that would prove an assault. Sometime after • little man came for that purpose. Therewas another charge by Swift— three altogether. The chafers were then read to the billowing effect : ,• Arthur George Imffman charms Alt. Parkins and Mr. Swift with making a riot at No. 18, Catherioitstreet, in the house, after I twelve o'clock. (aigned) " A ItTlll' It Ii 1:1/111IE 147rrm•w." And indorsed " to find bail," with the initials of the constable. " Mr. Sheriff Parkins charges Mr. l'hwaites with severely as saulting him, by throwing him down stairs, and otherwise ill. treating hien." " Illr. Swift charge' John Ryan, with a number of other per soca, of throwing him down stairs, anal otherwise ill-using him, which they djd do." These two charges were signed the parties, and indorsed by the constable of the night. Mr. Stanton, surgeon, of the : and, stated, that early in the morning of the 111111 of April, 111- , between twelve and one, he was called to see a gentleman, wl , it moi reported, had his leg 1 he' ken. lie t.II. Swift at the watch-house, in a great deal of pain. There were two or three wounds on the cap of his knee, which was much swelled. Witness dressed it, and sent him a lotion to apply. Ile did not ,et, Swift walk. It was probable he might he able, but it war necessary he shoo id he kept quiet. Witness attended him for more than a fortnia;ht. file had a great deal of inflammation. Ile was confined to his room. %Vainest, diseordinued his visits, because swift was so poor that lie could not afford to pay a surgeon. He said he must apply to a dispensary. (bass-examined.—Swift did not refer witness to Mr. Parkins. Witness called upon him, hut Parkins said Swift was not a con. start wren of his, and he would not ~ay lot hint. Mr. Kober. slitarstitilli, a watcomaker, at whose house the plaintiff lot!gi 01, slated, that he came home like a man more dead than alive. Ile had the greatest difficulty in the world to get up Hairs. He continued ill live Of six weeks. IVittiess lent him a slick to walk about with. He halts now. Ili+ trines/is were rut all across. He complained of bong bruised all over. Ilia hat was struck nut of shape. The !AMID CHIEF JUSTICE directed the charges in the watch- hawse book to be read over again. The Loan ('alter Jt;ST ll r: observed, that there was evidence only against 'i'hwaites and I,uffinan. Mr. Ititororiait said, the fella witness had stated that Young was named as among the petters in the office, and the tiatchnian had said something of the same sort. Mr. ScAll 1.1:1' T then addressed the Jury for the defence. With out the testimony of Mr. Parkins there was no evidence to affect the defendants • and it would appear that day, that however heavy his purse might be, his evidence could be Mond very light. The plaintiff, though he might be glad to avail himself of the one, would find the other not available at all. He ( 31r. S.) had no doubt that this wax the action of Parkins. Ile had sworn the contrary, it was true, but it was proviel that the plaintiff was too poor to pay a site. goon. An attorney's bill was somewhat heavier titan a surgeon's. Parkirs came forward avowedly with great real to give his evidence. No attorney • ould, it was to be hoped, act upon the principle " No cure no pay." lithe Jury would believe the witnesses that would be called for the deteoce, they must come to the conclusion, that Parkins was guilty not only of a wanton and indecent riot and attack upon Mr. Thwaites, wholly unprovoked, moue!' perhaps not entirely without design, but also of gross and deliberate perjury. The Jury would determine between Parkins at.d the istuteaars for the defence. Parkins, notwithstanding All his adroitness as a witness, had not yet learned the art of making his story prnbnble. Ile had been able to give no reason why he should go at half-put eleven at night, to annoy Mr. Th winos in his editorial duties. his account was, that he was ' ,sin g the Olive a;ridentally, haring been busy all day, with the plaintiff, hunting out witnesses to outworn% in the Berwick cause, tint he could not name ore place where he had been on that errand. Ile was engage d i n a great variety of concerns at all times, and, ae . . - - , cer•ling to his own .count, jurt then. in one of icreat importi;nee. One could have thought he would have too oh his visit to Mr. Thwaitcs till the day lidlowing, but he raw a light and could not resist the temptation of calling upon his friend. Forgetting all hist lustiness, he pulled off his new glove, and sat down with the utmost composure. What a wane of precious moments was this at that critical juncture of his affairs. Viliat an extraordinary incon sistency with his general industry and perseverance! Another part of- his evidence would also illuatritte his unskilfulness in reotterinsp his story probable. He suited that he had conferred obligations on Mr. 'rhwaites by writing articlat for his paper—no doubt sonic of the hest that had appeared in it. Parkins meted. that he asked, in a cool, adoi, deliberate manner, fur his papers. lie sat down as • friend. Mr. Patkin , -1 did not say that I sut down. Mr. SCAIMETT.-aßrent wits hate ihutt memories. He has now. tientlnnen, forgot his town ctidcate. I am noting what he said before Too. Mr. Parkins-_l beg leave to may I never said Ito. The boa o a:r J CSTILL—YOU must nut interrupt the pro. ceedingii, . . Irriit I am not to hear myself libelled silently. The LORI) CHILI JEST I C E-I.lbuikd ! 10 WWI hall been tittered against you. Mr. Parkins—He has grossly misrepresented me. Mr. SCA I. ETT—It is your duty to keep silent. Sir. Mr. Parkins—When you speak an untruth of me 1 cannot sit stilL Mr. SCANLITT—YOU see, Gentlemen of the Jury, this man has the indecency to deny his own words before you aIL Mr. Parkins-Llf I am so treated 1 will bare the l'ourt. The I,olso l'itt yr Justus—You must knee the Court if you cannot sit quietly. . . . . Mr. Sc.tit t.1:4 T resomed.—lle had stated that, in his opinion, Mr. l'arkins had committed grass tool deliberate perjury. He be lieved the Jury would soon be of the same opinion. Parkins should not deter him front speaking of paint as he deserved. If be would not be so commented upon, he should learn the set of giving his evidence at (cast an air of prolialrility, if he could not speak the truth. Parkins stated that Mr. Thwaites actually rang the bell, and ordered the persons in his employ to assault him, without ant assignable motive whatever. 3lr. l'arkins tins evidently no adept in swearing. Ile had not learned the art thoroughly. That was a misfortune which it was necessary he should surmount the next time he made hi* appearance in a Court of Justice. He would doubtless benefit by the experience of that day. He had also aimed that ht was so beaten and mauled that he had fainted ; yet in the same breath he spoke with laudable Kid; of the strength of his arm. The watchman stated, that it appeared that the only object of the defendants was, to shut the door on Parkins and his man, anti keep them out, yet he had arch firm hold of • man by thr anti, as the watchman said. but by the neck, as Parkins himself said, that he dragged the man out after him. l'arkins, whose breast had lietm trampled upon by all the effective strength of the Ilerethi establishment, had got such hold of one of his anutgonists with his Samson-like arm, that though shoved out himself, he dragged his victim by one leg attic him. (A laugh.) The wily watchman whom the plaintiff had ventured to call ad. rotted that the call of watch proectslisi from within, and that the object was to get rid of Parkins and his submena.serring temporary clerk. But Parkins went to the llerahl office to ask for papers essential to the vindication of his intiocence in the affair of Byrne. Parkins would swim down to posterity on the same stream with Byrne, whose friend Ile was. Ile wanted to have his valuable and important manuscripts returned. Ile therefore called upon 31r. Thwaites, who was a small diminutive man, and not in gbod health, though the Ex-shertff had swam that he smelt the liquor tile. Thwaites had been &irking. The tact was, that Parkins went with his myrmidon Swift, for the ve rsa purpose of preventing the newspaper going to press. Mr., Ilwaites perceived great violence in his manner, and swift male the sante demand as his master. Mr. Thwaites said he had not all the papers at hand, some he would not deliver as he had published 6,11 e. Parkins was told that such as he was entitled to have should be given to him at a proper time. .Mr. Thwaitcs was apprehensive that Parkins was conic to commit an assault upon hint, or ensue extravagant violence. Ile, therefore, dr sired hint two or three times to retire, with his man Swift. Ile then rang the bell; awe per:alma came, end in their presence lie again desired these two intrialtra to leave his rom. Sonic of these permits, in their shirt sleeves, were busily engaged in pre paring for the publicatioa of the paper, which the worthy Ex. Sheriff came to intemipt. One of them said that if he wmild not retire, he should be put out by force. Swift, valiant emis the protection of his temporary employer, told them that none of them dare to touch Mr. Shetitf Parkins. A person then tuck hold of the Ex-Sheriff. as he styled him. self, toond the waist, and got him outside of the door. Ile then seized on the workmen and threw him down stairs. Th• great champirm, who wa s so proud of hi s ex pl o i ts w h en his memory staved him to relate them, boasted of the feats he performed when he placed his bark against the wall. The tact was, he was deter mined not to be forced out of the room. He declared an, and he knocked down three or four men alto attempted to hare him out of his position. lie had placed his back against the door. I Parkins had been for some time making singu lar gesticulations in allusion to the Learned t;ounaers statements. Mr. SCAR LET T-1 am fully aware o f y our i nt ecent conduct, Sir, and I will tolerate it no longer. Mr. l'arkins— I deny what you now state to he true. The Loan CHIEF J I. sT ice-- You must sit elsewhere. The Court cannot be interrupted by you. Mr. Pukes--1 will not stay in Court to be insulted by that man (hooking at Mr. Scariest as he passed hitn)—You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Mr. St anr.FTT resumed. The conduct and language of Par kins that (1.9 r before the Jury, anti under the eye of his Lordship, spoke louder than any address he could make to them. l'nfortu• namely he could not prove in 'widow* what ponied between Parkins and Mr. Thereat.. before the other parties entered the room ; but, tram the conduct of Parkins in Court, the Jary could easily guess how greatly offenaive it would be in a private room where he was withdrawn from general nbservatinn. As SOOll as he was ejected fmm Mr. Thwaittaes room, he bone one man down stairs, and knocked another down. Parkins tusnifested extraordinary pug. rarity ; he maintahted a suet of running fight with two or three at a time. What injury either be or the plaintiff had received tinder such circumstanc es , h e ( M r . Pkarlett) neither knew nor cared. So viol( ut word he that it required the whole force of the I establishment—th e pout of the Afarniag Herald--. 0 expel him • and even then he had :strength enough left to pull one of the m after him, and h e next endeavoured to force his way bark agrin into the tfliee. Or a charge of assaulting a constable, to whom he gave battle in the stave , , he was taken to the watch. house. It was with great (Mlle-alit that be was secured. When hr had arrived there, the Ex_sberiff whenever forgot his quo/okra dignity, ulnae the clime in which thin action had originated. Ale. Thwattes had net pa4cular Intimacy with him, nor any enmity against bin). Ile had certainly never courted his acquaintance fur his rorrespundanre. His going to the watehhouse proceeded en. holy front the act of the constable, and arose from his making a riot in the street. The object of the defendantswas merely to get rich of hint from the office, where he had gone for purposes of an noyance and mischief. The learned fientlernan concluded an ad dress of' considerable length with expressing his confidence that the Jury would give a verdict against the Ex-Sheriff and his man. The following witnesses were then CRAMirlefi for the defence:— J. M. Robeson swurn.—l am the printer oldie Morrtiv meld newspaper. (ho the night of the 117th April I saw Swift go into the room generally occupied by Mr. Thwaites, the proprietor, which is cm the !fru floor. It is nee tamed to admit persons to the Editor's room. I hare inetriletions to that effect. I think it was after twelve at midnight; all ass very busy then—editor, reporters, and printers; all arc equally engaged. It is not a tit and cmivenient time to apply about business. Swift opened the door without koockloe: I went into an adjoining room, where I remained about five minutes. My attention use called by a noise of squabbling. . Words seemed to be plowing out of temper ; there was also a bell . ringing. ll'hen I went in I saw Mr. Parkins smiling. with a, kind of derision peculiar to him. I beard Mr. Thwattes order I Parkins and :swift out of the room • he said, " I desire you to leave the return, you are stopping the Cusinow," or words to that effect. Parkin., kept smiling in derisiog i but did not offer to leavethe main. Mr. Thwaites told me be bait leen grossly Insulted by Aim ; Ilia 1 Parkma paid, " flood lied ! what's all this about ?" A gratieman. p reporter, then came in, and ordered them to walk out. Mr. Swift said " I day you." One of the teporter4 turned out Swift, by lifting him up by the middle 1.1141, putting him nut of the room.— I (The witness identified th r ig=pf Mr. Thwaites, who it a very 'm all person , and not a in gond health., Another re. motet took Parkins by, he gist, and pot him eat of the room. f several men from the priming came down, hearing the noise. , Parkins and Swift werq push g the passage ; tt.ey were strik.' ing; Parkins had leftlps gl bu t 1 , 14.4 struggling to go bark.

Mr. 'rliwaites hut lately hid down a ode; it h not been advertised in the paper. I Put pose Parkins sent in before Swift. Swift was lifted nut in a very short time.

Mr. It. Mil was next sworn.-1 was writing in an adjoining room to Mr. Thw.iites. I hoard an unusual noise, en unusual I had never heard the like before. I heard Mr. Thwaites order somebody to quit the room immediately. I heard Mr. Thwaites repeat the order, and I then went in. I saw Parkins and plaintiff standing ronducting themselves in a sneering and impertinent manner : so it rppeared to me. It was repeated several times. I retired from the room, net wishing to meet Mr. Parkins, and several persons came down stairs. I afterwards saw a great smtggling in the pas sage, where the parties were endeavouring to remove Parkins and Naift. They were Hod desired to go away quietly. Mr. Thraites desired Mr. Parkins to go away; he stood, and would not go. When they tried to push him away be made a violent maistsnce. They all rushed together down Miff, but I did not follow them.

One of the writers brought out Swift by the arm, aid let him go. I rather I think Parkins was pent out in same way, or else he was shoved out.' Parkins threw his arms about, and pat himself in a fighting atti tude. I heart a crab like somebody thrown down males. Mr. Robeson told Parkins to come at seasonable hours, in a mild sod civil manner. Parkins said he would go hark for his glove. I made my way through the crowd to the fopt of the stairs.

REFrGE FOR THE terday three boys, named Prouty, Moir, sad fiforley, from fimrteen :0 sixteen years of age, were brought before the Loan Macon on charges of felony. Ills Lordship said he was greatly perplexed, and knew not how to dispose of boys of this description, who were brought bettirc him almost every day from the streets, two and three at at a time. The latter case, be should have thought, was one that came within the view of the Society for the Refuge of the Destitute but then they would not receive him unless be was qualitiol—namely, sent to the Old Bailey amongst confirmed thieves, and received the stamp of criminality by the verdict of a Jury--a process that too often for ever shut out such young incipient criminals from boom society. Really. he did not boor whom to send Mikis establishrnert if this boy, and those ho sent thrasher day, were not proper objects. His Lordship then spoke of the necessity for some other institution, where temporary employment could be found for this class of iv ventle depredators. In consequence of the reports of what he had suited the other day, several of the most respeciahle citizens had come forward to express their willingness to lend their efEtrts to the establishment of such an instituticm as that which he conceived to he so highly desirable. Ile had, amongst others, received a note fmm Mr. N. M. Rothschild, liberally offering fitly ponds towards the undertaking. Ilia Lordship had fully explained his feelings on the subject several months since to some active gentlemen of the ' of the lionselou Poor, and to others, who had taken an nit ve pert respecting' the .Lonron worlthquth. ThFp sretned to accord with hitn, and were to meet, to form some plan fora per manent institution. The London 'workhouse was it large building. which might be applied. The Committee of the Hnuseless hail very large funds in hand, which, with the aid of individuals, and perhaps with the aid of the l'orporation, the object might speedily be effected. Ills Lordship expressed his willingness to give the use of the Egyptian Hall, if a public meeting were deemed requisite, and that he should be most happy to receive the co...operatirm of Mr. Rothschild and his friends, and to eflisrd every information ' and facility. In consequence of a cammunication to 3lr. Roths child. 11r. Montefeire bad via-red a personal subscription of MIL and &number of other l lemleinen had made similar Wirt'. He was confident that benevolent initividmils could not do greater Service than aid in the formation ci such an Institution, which would rescue thousands from those demoralising circumstances that pre cipitated those of the best nature into crime, afford relief to an infi nity of cases that were continually arising, and save from the gal lows numbers who had now no other chant e than to live in wretch edness and expire in infamy. The young prisonic, for ii!icim no asylum could be found, was then sent back to prison fur bother disposal. 01' I lIDHA .. . ...... ...- Yesterday a rase of petty theft occupied the Court fully forty minutes. A young men, formerly emploted Ly )Ir. Doyle. skylight.maker, Holborn, was accused of stealing t pocket-hand kerchief. A 111 r.

Mr. Thcmson (fully sixty years of ages had pursued this young man Item one alley to ono- they, till at lest he unfortunately rushed into s cod-dr-sue ; but, like Reynard, he had still a resource left—he bolted up stairs, and was found concealed in a cupboard in the garret. On being asked by the Magiorate what he had to say for him. self ? he answered, " 1 picked k Magnitrate—Why did you crop Prisoner—Because I heard a cry of " Stop thief!" and I ern, afraid.

It appeared by the statement of the street-keeper that the poor sufferer wax found lying on the steps of a door in Ittifford-street, in an apparently insensible stare, and carried to the parish snr. geon, Bonifield, who, after making several experiments on the tailor, discovered that he must be tither a most grew, impostor, or labouring ur.der the weight of a great quantity of liquor; he therefore ordered the street-keeper to convey him to this office.

The once dashing salooner, well known by the name of Lady Ito rrymare, was brought to the office, in the custody of ('auxins, charged with strikirg a female three violent blows on the breasts, she being eampletely overcotne by liquor, and in a comparative stale of nudity.

Previously to complainant's sating his case, the prisoner gave • foretaste of die style in which he meant to conduct his defence.

IVORSHIPSTREET, Baran Aces—A poor woman attended at this Office yester day, with a loaf in her hand, and applied to the Sitting Magis. trate, Ww.li e wET V, Esq for a summons against ono Richards, under the following circumstances : She stated, that on Wednesday she went to the sbep et Richards, a baker, near Ploughaourt, Spitaltielda, to parch/use a loaf ; that she was serried by a female who put the boat into the scale, under the pretence of weighing it, but in fact sho pressed the scale down with her hand ; perceiving, however, thaf.she was noticed by the poor woman, she immediately took up an bit of bread and gave it to her, saying, that as the loaf was a meaty one, there was a hit over. The woman suspecting she hail not been served well, kit the shop and went to a otiandit 's on the opposite side of the way, and weighed the loaf, together with the piece that was thrown in ; when it was, with this addition, found to be no lee. than eleven ounces dtticicnt of its proper weight. She re. turned to the baker's shop, where she saw the master, and told him of the fact ; but he. instead of making her a compensation, only abused her, and said she might go to the :11agistrate if she pleased. pour woman, therefore, applied to his Worship to grant a sum. mu s slain at Richards, to enable her to gain redress. 31A A. R ATE—lam sorry, good woman, to tell you, that lan give you no remedy in this case. The Act which would have em powered me to do so has been repealed, and all that is now requited of the bakers in oellink bread has been complied with by the one in the poo.ent instance, that is, the weighing of the loaf in the pre. sence of the purchaser. I regret this, because the poor are now left open to such evident frauds as this, which I have reason to appre hend are likely to be of too common occurrence, without a possibi lity of redress; for if there were any means of their proceeding by summons to recover the valus of the deficiency in weight, the t7Oll - and loss of time would, in must cams, impose a greater loss than ibtßand itself. I call it a innul, for it is elan though I can laird no remedy for it. 1 therefore thiertvel. sett ease cannot kg made too publicly knowti, in (inler that it ought serve, at all events, as a elution to the pair in particular, to he watchful over the persons of whom they buy their bread, should it not be the means of drawing the attention of those to the operation of the existing Act who have it in their power it, supply any defects in it that might he suggested by cases like the one now complained of, and which I am compelled to dianiisa. STILL ET Ii otter: a Y.—franc Miller, a young fellow about 17, was charged by %Valiant II übbert, of Red Lion-passage, Ilwiton, a servant to the East India Company. with having, in company with four others, attacked hint in Askedurtet, near lioxton Chit. pea, between nine and ten o'clock last Sunday night, and taken from him his watch chain and appendages, valued at half-a-crown, and with afterwards violently assaulting him. It appeared that the prisoner was not the person who robbed Ilubbert, b u t that two other persons first made the attack and committed the robbery, and that the prisoner came up aril struck the complainant as he was in the act of panning the thieve.. The blow staggered him, and when he eallecied himself the prisoner was gone. He immediately ran, crying " Stop thief !" and ultimately, with the assistance of one Stevens, succeeded in taking the prisoner into citstody, who had secreted Inimiclf in a lane which had no thoroughfare. Miller was committed fur trial.

The flat immediately above was Mews. Hay, Call, and Co.'s printing-office, which, with the whole stock of rape-, printing materials, &c., valued at 5,u0u1., was totally con sumed. Only about 1,0001. of the property was insm ed. Three large tenements, three stories high, were burnt to the ground ; and, besides the above, the shops of a brass founder, a leather-agent. and the Sabbath School Reposi tory. were ikstroyed. A vast quantity of Itather was got out, but much damaged. All the engines belonging to the town, and those from Leith and Leith Fort, were employed in endeavouring to arrest the progress of the flames: hut the buildings being composed of brick and wood. they went up like gunpowder, and it was past mid-day before the fire was finally got under. A number of people were hurt, one of whom was carried to the Royal Infirmary. This bas been the largest fire which has happened in Edinburgh for a great length of time, and in consequence of it between two and three hundred workmen will be thrown idle. - -Gloaguw Herald.
