They inflicted two cuts of swords on the shoulder of Lonergan 's son. through the blankets, with which he had covered himself, he having just gone to bed; aid they next attacked Lonergan himself, who kept them orwtth a Slane, they being afraid to fire, lest the police at New Inn should hear the shots. They, however, brought it stones from the yard, and after striking him with several o it of twenty-three, which were found after them in the iocer.it.g, they went away, leaving a few marks of their but on going,, one of therm took out a book and swore if Lonergan would nut give up in the morning, they would rr turn and burn his house.

On Sundry evening a very distressing scene occurred at the poutoe-J..ek, Cork, the tide being then full in, and nearly on a level with the quay. A young man, probably deceived by the reflection of the lamps from the opposite s,de, during the heavy fall of rain and darkness which then prevailed, walked over the quay, and would have been in evitably drowned, but for the prompt and effectual assist ance of the inhabitants of that neiehbourbood. The acne had scarcely elapsed one quarter of an hour, when another called for their exertions. and fortunately with similar 'me nses. In less than half an hour after this second call ott their humanity, they were compelled to witness a third, which, notwithstanding every efibrt, proved fatal. The unfortunate victim (a poor elderly man) had fallen so far below their reach, and no boat being at hand, that he sunk, after a few snuggles, to rise no more.—Cu-k Mer ta,:ter Chro.-ddr. DUNDALK. PETTY SESSIONS, SEPT. 18, 1824. &eel .Clrement was called to shew ramie why examinatior seeild net be taken leggiest Lim for an assault ooruniitted by his Lordship on two boys, named John Marmion, jun., and Wm. alamdon, on Saturday, the 28th day of August last. The notoriety of the case caused the Sessions-house to be ceowdee at a rely caei hour, and it was with much difficulty the Magistrates could tflact an sierae.ce to the bench. After they had tekire their seats, Tie crier was directed to call William Lord Viscount Clermont. This was repeatedly done; end after some time had elapsed, his , Lordship appeared, and addressing the Magistrates in a speech of some length, he denied their right to go into the business oe twat day, and said they must issue a fresh summons fur the fol iewing Saturday, inasmuch as the summons he received, requiting les attendance, was "to appear on the Saturday before ;" can which day, his Lordship sail, he II:d attend, but finding no Ma. gistratos in Cote*, he rented. Under these circumstances, they co id not go into the complaint that day. Lenllos B/COLK, llsq„ ore of the Magistrates. said that Mr. Forster was from hom.:,,:e. Mr. Finlay, the other Magistrate, be ing unwell, lie took upon hiterelf to adjourn the Court; and in con sequence no business was transacted on that day. But they now sat agreeable to that adjournment, and were trying the business of t .e preceding Saturday, acd his Lordship had a written notice from t an of the same. Lord Clermont, with greet warmth, expressed his surprise that' the Magistrates would presume to call themselves a Court after this explention. They did net comprehend a Court; and their sitting in assembly was merely for despatch and convenienceof business. Ifs would therefore tell them, before the crowd then assembled, he was not obliged to attend their summons; and that every man in the malty 'eight refuse their future summonses. He demanded, that the peobseftre against him might be postponed to the follow. R. liatu , %hen he would produce witnesses to prove that the 4 ied assault of was no assault a: all. One of Magistrates said, if his Lordship would make an afsJavit to that effecethey would consent to postpone the case. Lord Clement—You have no right to tender en oath io me; 1 oily claim that which would not be denied to the poorest man in the country, yet dm denied to me, a Peer of the Realm- I regret I am so, as, if 1 was not, I might now have the honour of retire meting the money in Parliament, as I have done heretofore. As the Magistrates were determined to hear the case then, his Lordship called for his bat and s chair, saying, that in too many I its: cm tee lows were enforced too eeverely ; that upon the most rivial circumstance, when a person of his Loolallip'a rank bad committed the most rifling matter, to be complained of, although done fmm a feeling and good motive, it was distorted into the most glazing offence ; and to remedy this abuse, as tar as he could, be was then ready, as a Magistrate of the Cuunty Louth, to hear all eomplaints, and deal out justice to the poor man as well as to the rib. The Magistrates objected to his Lordship acting Si a Magistrate thee, as they hoped his Lordship would Dot attempt to try his own eats; or sit there until lie got clear or the charge made against him. Kis Lords: '',l deillllfrei to this ; but the mother of the bess be.. leg peremptory in her demand to have justice administered to her eindren, John lilarmion, junior, wee then celled, and he deported, that on Saturday, the gBth of August last, lie, Lord Clermont, came into les fathee's field. and in a violent manner seize his brother William (who was there herding a we. ) by the collar, and horsewhipped him teretely, but for what he could nut tell.

GUILDHALL SW11!(DLI eci.—ln several instances lately a system of swindling has been euceessfully practised upon various tradesmen in Holborn and its neighbourhood, and property obtained in the names of re spectable gentlemen residing in i'urnival's Inn, and much anxiety has been expressed for the detection of the offender or offenders by those most interested in the credit and reputation of the Inn, and fortunately one of them was taken into custody yesterday, and brought up before the sitting Magistrate at this office, Mr. Alderman Ansley. The prisoner, a young man reepectably droned, and apparently of superior manners. gave his name Thomas Robinson. Ms ac cuser was Edward Vandevelde , foreman , or weber what is called in the trade " clicker," with Mr. Horn, hoot and shoe maker, No. 47, Iltdborn-hill, who stated that about a couple offon ago, the prisoner, who was then much more genteelly dressed than at present, came into the shop to he fitted with a pair of boots, which he desired might be sent home, when be would pay for there, and gave his address Mr. Crompton, No. 16, Furnivar s Inn. The boots were accordingly sent there in the evening. but nobody was at home. As, however, Mr. Cromplon's name was up, no suspicion at all was entertained. In the morning he (the witness) took them himself, and, in passing by the Hell Inn, he saw the prisoner standing th:re, as if waiting to go by one of the stages. lie immediately mentioned that lie was out on the previous even ing, and walked back with him to No. 16, in the Inn. He stopped, however, at the entrance, and asked if he had brought a bill and receipt with him, and if he could take the amount out of a .51. note; and on his answering in the negative, desired him to fetch a receipt, and bring change with him, while he waited. The witness left the boots wit r him, and on his return with the receipt and the change he wet th prisoner just coming out of the Inn gate, who Said he could not wait, and had left the 51. note with his laundress, who would ale i give Itim another pair of bouts to be repaired. On this representation Vandevelde was simple enough to give him the change, 31. IBs., and on hastening to the chambers lie was intro duced to Mr. Crompton himself, and learnt the imposition that had been practised upon him. llis master had held him accountable, and the poor clicker bad been paying four shillings a week to bout. date the amount ever since. The prisoner, who seemed to feel the disgrace of his situation, when asked by the Magistrate what he had to say in his defence, replied, in a desponding tone, " Nothing." As the Magistrate had some doubt whether be should commit him foe stealing the property, or for die misdemeanor in having obtained it under false an. fraudulent pretences, in which latter case Mr. (bonipton's attendance would be needed, he remanded the ptisoner for that purpose, as well as to afford an opportunity for others who may hare been similarly duped, to ascertain if they an recognise the person of the prisoner, who will be brought up again this day. HATTON-GARDEN- John Henry Wall: a contertnonger, whose ewe stood remanded, was yesterday bran h t up ter final examioadoe.charged by George Waddington, one of the blow.strect patrol, on suspicion of stealing a silver tea-pot. Waddington met him on Friday morning last in Jerusalem-passage, Sc. John's-square, and took him into custody, and brought Mm to tb• office. The publication in the papers soon led to the discovery of the owner. and accordingly, yesterday morning tile honsekeeper and butler of Mrs. Parker, a widow lady, residing in Purtland.place, attended and identified the tea-pot as one stolen from the house by a man who descended the area steps tilFiCi the excuse of selling matches. The prisoner said, in his deems, that he found it. Ile was fully committed for trial. DIARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE. HIGHWAY Ronsmtv.—Yesterday WiUiew Mame, • fellow with a wooden leg, who also bears the cognomen of " Plgley Bill," and who was stated in the office to be one of the most depraved and determined ruffians in existence, was brought up on the following charge of highway robbery : From the statement of John Wheeler, a middle-aged men, who said be was a servant out of place, and Benjamin Busty, a watch man, it appeared that on Sunday morning, soon after one o'clock, he (Wheeler) was returning to has residence in Great Chestetlield street, and, as he was passing through Wesunorlandmmet, the prison= and another man suddenly pounced out of David-steeet upon hint, and, using horrible expressions, demanded his rnoney. Ile declared to them he had only one shilling in the world. The prisoner instantly exclaimed—" Give ate that shilling, you --, nod the umbrella too." Finish/1 the demand with a horrible ex pression. li'hecler exclaimed .= "ou d.--d villain, if you use such such expressions I will kill you." The rufFun then grasped Wheeler's untLoella, which he was in the act of raising, and en deavoured to wrest it out of his hand, but it broke in the attempt. Wheeler thcr received a desperate body blow, which sent him back to the rails, aid was closely followed by the prisoner, who, as he was in the act of booting the poor man, received a signal from his companion that the watchman wee coming. The watchman hear ing the alarm came up, and Moune, fi nding he could not escape, deliberately knocked {Viteeler down, exclaiming—" B-- him, the wanted to give me a shilling," and followed up the lora mous charge in language which the bare recital of shocked every person in the Office. Busey, the watchman, instantly seised him, {Vheeler arose, and, describing the attack, gave him in charge. The fellow then jumped of the pavement, and again attacked him, giving him several desperate blows. He was however properly ye cured, and lodged in the watch-house. Ills companion escaped. The prisoner, in his defence, insolently repeated eye most abo minable language and threats against Wheeler, charging bins with • very dreadful crime. Mr. Raw !gains asked Wheeler if be had not lived in the est lice of the Earl of Liverpool ? Wheeler replied he had, and had the highest testimonials of cha racter from that distinguished nobleman, who had sent to employ him when he was at the United University Club (of which Ale. Rawlnnen is a member). ilr. Rawt.tweou observed, that he was very glad the prosecu. for could produce ttllir1110);111* fioin such distingunilted persons, as it was very clear he must have an irreproachable character indeed before lie could obtain any situation in their households. It was the best answer to the prisoner's charge, whom he should fully commit to Newgate fur uial. Prisoner (carelessly).—Thank you. Mr. Kew Liarsos—Then you have nothing more to say ? Prisoner—Not such a fool as to Nub here, me. 31r. Raw LINSON—Then you don't mind going to :Covets ? Prisoner (huighing)--Not I, your AVoeship. Mr. 11*watt:sox—Were you ever there. Prisoner—l )h .! yes, I was there twice before. You see I tells the truth, and conceals nothing : if 1 do, jigger me. Mr. Hawaii( sow—Then you are committed. The prisoner, as he retired, desired that he might be accommo dated with a drop of gin and a pipe, as the weather a •s cold. The officers recognised lain to be a member of Jack Henley's desperate gang of thieves, who, inc a length of time, were the terror of the rnetropulis. Dooley and four of his companion, were exe cuted, four or live years since, fur the outrages and robberies at IVest End fair; and from ,the frequent appearance on the tame scaffold of the members of the same gang. it Is supposed there are only two or three remaiting—perhaps waiting their turn. QUEEN-SQU.II:C. Yesterday, Beneukt Duggan was charged by William Croker, living at No. 11, (heat k;ail-street, Seven Dials, before EDWARD 'User LARD, Est. with hating stein a sovereign ands half-crown piece, his property. The prosecutor deposed, that, late on Saturday night, as he was returning home with seine friend., he met the prisoner by Bennett s:reel, Westminster, and was induced to go into one of the houses. Witness ,as rather intoxicated, laid himself on the bed, and fell asleep. When he awoke next morning the prisoner was gone, which induced him to search his pockeei, and he Need all his money missing. lie had .nom silver in his pocket over night; did not know to what amount, tut can swear he bait a sovereren and a half-crown when he entered the roont.• IV hoses got up imniediately, and met the woman in the passage, who onlv jeered him. lie then proctored a constable, and after searching the whole house, disco vered her in the water closet. William Patmore, the constable, corroborated the latter part of the prosecutor's evidence. The prisoner was then committed to Noirgate to take her trial. Awe Blake, alias Gipsey Ann, who formerly lived with the notorious Cartwright, lately executed at Hereford for burglary, and Martha Night;Nrale were brought up for re-examination for steel ing a watch and seal, a crown, and half crown, the property of Jae Harvey. John Harvey. a hackney coachman, being sworn, appeared very ' unwilling to give any evidence, but admitted his lo.s which he be lieved happened on Pritlny weele last. Eliza Bond and Mary Dean were then sworn.

Other evidence was received, when both the prisoners were fully committed to Newgate. WORSII I P-STRE RONNZNITS, awn ATT E PT AT 31 I; ROE. R.—Yt'ltCT:47, Edward Harris, better known io Bethnal-green by the name of Kiddy fiereir, and who is equally as well known to li t e tym e roor of Bounty Bay. with a man of the name of Saki:sox Jacobs, were brought before Ilr. °snouts E. It appeared that, on the 27th of September, a moat extensiv. and daring robbery had been made on the warehouse of a 3lr. illiato flair, a highly-respectable silk mantfiacturer in Wood-street, Spi tallields. In consequence of informations haring nncksid the otli cm of this office, they had " a ahsrp look-out." It further sp. prarti, that a woman of the name of Sarah Drew, who bad been year:. in the employment of rile. flair, had a kitowlAge of the pri•oncrs' pc:cons, and she was engaged by the officers to point them out. The prisoners being placed at the bar, Sarah Drew deposed. that' after passing by the two men, on Sunday night. near Shoteditch chunli, the fin-soner llarris came up, and asked her, did she know him I' and lieir.g answered in the negative, they forced her up the field, near to a pond, where the was knocked down, and from her person were taken ci silk shawl, en umbrella, a bonnet, and 17s fid in money. They afterwards stuffial I.ay in her stimuli, and then threw her into the pond, when one of the men said to the other, -` Iretua go back and risish her ;" to which the other replied, "the I, is done already." Site mumbled theta: fur some time up to box neck id wafers and was quite positive that llsrris, the ptisoixr, was UDC of the party. There 1. ing no evidence against Jacobs. he was al.ant to be charged., when Artfield, the °dime, said he found on his ocrwon an uohemmed black sill; handkereti,f, which bore some resemblance to part of the goals taken tram 31r.

SWARLY, .sq. charged with having robbed his brother-in-law. .Mr. (;ray stated, that the person at the bar was a near relation, and was in the habit of visi:ing at his house frequently. On Friday witness had occasion to leave town, and, in his absence, it appeared that his brother-in-law called at his house. on pretence of seeing his sister, to whom witness was married. When he (Mr. Gay) ro. turned from the country, he wus informed the prisoner had been there :he day bt fore, ai.d that via,. stain *ilia his departure, several articles were missed. William 11111, jun. the constable who took him into custody, proved the finding of the duplicates of the articles stolen, in the possession of the prisoner ' who admitted at the time that he had stolen them, as described by the prusectitor. Mr. Gray expressed his disinelinatims to prosecute, particularly as the duplicates of his property were restored. The Magistrate—Then, Mr. Gray, why did you apply for, and obtain, a warrant for his apprehension for haying robbed your house? You have proceeded too far in the else; and 1 now feel it my duty to compel you to follow up the prosecution, however pain ful it may be to the feelinf, , s of you and your family. Mr. Gray-1 hope not, tiir. The prisoner's faiher is a respect able man, and it wiij plunge him into the depth of distress to hear that his son is committed tiir a felony. The prisoner,was remanded, for the purpose of giving the pawn. broker, at whose house the articles were pledge l, an opportutunity of identifying the duplicates, as well as the person by Wilolll these things were pawned. CORONER'S INQUEST OV THE BODY OF THE LATE MIS. WM. IVINDHAM SADLER. The Coroner (Jon. Ilanotteares, Esq.) and Jury assembled at about ten o'clock . yesterday (Friday) morning. at Ilollitroyd's, and forthwith proceeded to a view of the body. The face was livid. the eyes of a dark purple, and the head presented a frightful spectacle. Thomas Farley, of the parish of Church, plumber and glazier, examined.—On Wednesday afternoon last I observed a balloon in the air, and I set o u t with an intention of going towards it ; I ran to the gate of a field, and there I saw a man hanging by one leg from the car attached to the balloon, which descended within about ten yards of the ground, and there the man fell ; the balloon then again ascended, and 1 saw no more of it. 1 went to the man who had fallen, but he appeared to me to be dead. Ile was lying on his right side, which was very black, and his tongue was out of his month. and quite black : lie bled at one ear. David AitLim clerk to Messrs. Simpson and Co.—On Wednes day afternoon, about half-past two o'clock. I observed a balloon in the air ; it then appeared about the size of a hat ; in about one uri- nuts after I first saw it it struck the ground, and rebounded to a great height; it then gradually descendset, and came almost down 1 to the ground. At this period the anxiety of 31r. Sadler appeared most heave; he and his companion were' lying fiat nn the car cull. ing out to me, "get liohl of the rope, get hold of the rape." I made an effort to get hold of it, but in consequence of the s:rong wind, it got out of ray reach in a moment. 1 lost sight of ft for some time, and shortly afterwards I saw it again. It was ascending, and soon disappeared. I then proceeded to the place where 1 heard the de ceased hart fallen; he was lying on the ground surrounded by a great number of people. I attended the removal of the body to the public-house where the deceased now is, and was present when dm surgeons examined the body. Robert Mercer-1 dietinctly saw thecae strike against the chim ney of a house near the meadow ; a man was then thrown from the car, and was impended by one foot until he fell. The chimney was thrown down by the shock. Whilst the deceased was suspended by the leg, the balloon passel near other buildings, and I drink it probable that whilst he was in that situation he was struck against the chimney of one of those buildings ; I think that more probable than that the deceastel was hurt by the ear striking against the chimney which was thrown down. 31r. James Muir, sergeon, of Ackrington-1 attended the de. erased oar Wednesday last. A large fracture appeared en the right side of the head ; the bones were completely driven into the brim ; one rib was broken. The deceased lived until eight o'clock yester day trorniug; the fracture and the injury done to the brain wore, in my opinion, quite sufficient to cause death ; these injuries, 1 think, were received by means of the deceased being struck against • chimney or some bulldin on the preress of th e balloon, and not . by the fall oat of threat. • t body strack"the ehhnney at or before the time that thew did. Verdict, "Accidental death, bybeing struck against a chimney." Deodand upon the balloon and car, es. • • meeting has been held at Bolton, for the purpose of entering into a subscription for the relief of the family of Mr. Sadler. SINGULAR CIRCUMIIT•IIOE.-011 the 29th October-11393, Peter, son of William 111'Clumpha, Bridgeton, a boy then about three years of age, got from a relation who was upon a friendly visit to the family, a halfpenny, which he unfor tunately put into his mouth, and swallowed. He, however, continued in a good state of health for the space of nine months, when he was taken suddenly ill with a vomiting and an obstruction in his bowels, which continued notwith tending the united exertions of Dm. Chalmers and Thom son, for four or five days, since that time he has been in a very poor state of health, so much so that in fact little hope has been entertained of his .recovery; but upon Tuesday the lieed inst. to the no small surprise of all acquainted with the circumstance, while he was in his father's arms, lie vomited she halfpenny, after it had been in his stomach for nearly eleven months. The leelfpenny lies at our office for the inspection of the curious. The King's head is, almost entirely dissolved.—Glastente Journal. G• BLIN G .—FA LS Is: DI C e.--The spit it of gambling hat; recently prevailed amongst a number of the young men of this town, to an extent which has been repeatedly men-1 domed to us as $ proper subject for public notice. We have refrained from alluding to it, however, because we know that, with persons who enjoy the sort of excitation that games of chalice create, there would be no hope of our being able to do any thine; towards discouraging ail addi tion to them, especially whilst they are so much counte nanced by the practices of the higher classes. It is always to be feared, however, that those who become imbued with the spirit, by which professed gamblers are generally actu ated, will not restrict then:selves to fair and straightforward play ; and an exemplification of this fact has recently oc curred in this town. Two young men, whose names have been communicated to ts, and who were frequently ac customed to play at hazard, have, we are informed, been detected in practices, which, if proved in a Court of ' justice, would render them liable to transportation. One of these worthies, some time ago invited two of his acquaintances to dine with him at his residence. After dinner, dice were introduced, and a game at hazard was begun. In the course of the game, the host took an opportunity (unobserved, as he supposed,) to change the dice, and immediately the luck turned decidedly in his favour. At length suspicion being excited, by his constant winning, and by the casts he made, one of the party re fused to play any longer, and went away, and was quickly followed by the other, who contrived, however, to get the thee into his possession, unnoticed ; and took them away. On examining thew . , it was found that, instead of each having the progressive numbers from one to six inclusive, one had two aces, two threes, ai eLI two fives ; and the other, two twos, two fours, and two - fixes ; the King's stamp, and the name of the maker, being both for t e el. Thr person who had thus been detected in using these false dice, on being charged with it, stated hinieelf to have got them from the individual to whom we have allude d as his confederate ; and there is, we understand, no doubt whatever, that they had both used them for the pur pose of cheating those who weee so imprudent as to put themselves in their power. The two individuals whose host, on the particular occasion mentioned, did them the honour to pillage than, bad before suffered by both the parties who were discovered to be implicated in the fraud ; and last Tuesday they gave the latter twenty minutes to consider whether flier would refund the sums they had wine from them, or be taken low custody. After some blustering the former alternative was preferred ; the money was repaid, slid Pie . fialse dire destroyed. We hope this proo f of the atrociously unprincipled tricks, that too many pro feesed gamblers, it is to be feared, kio not hesitate to play, will operate as a caution to young liken, how they suffer themselves to beinitiatol into the habits, which very sel dom fail, more or less, to corrupt the feelings, and to de prave the eharacter.—Maarheeler. l' e It is calculated that above five thousand operatives arc at present idle in the city of 441asgme and n:ighbourhood.

I)ItEADTVL ACCIDZNT.-.-Yesterday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, as some workmen were employed in undermining a high wall, which belonged to a very exten sive building, formerly used aa a soap-manufactory, Belvi dere-road, the materials of which have lately been sold in lots, for the purpose of making teem provements on the Surrey side of Waterloo bridge, it sud denly fell with a tremendous crash, burying five of the no fortunate individuals under the ruins. Every exertim was instantly used to mimic the sufferers, end in about twenty minutes the whole of them were extricated. One Iran (who. we understand, has left a wife and six children), was killed; a boy, about 17 years of age, was taken out with one of his legs 'heedfully fractured ' • and the other three hare sustained such serious injuries, that little hopes arc entei tamed of their recovery. The whole of them were conveyed on shutters to St. Thomas's Hospital. The per son who had bought the lot where the accident occurred was superintending the operations of the workmen, and.rc ceired very considerable injuries, but they are not supposed to he dangerous. Ervasoanixatty l 7 isir•rtos.—On Thursday last, a silk weaver, named Robertson, residing in the neighbour hood of llethnal-green, was seized with a fit whilst at dinner, and dropped from his chair to all appearance dead. The wife and children, who were naturally terrified by . so sudden a visitation, ran in every dir.ction for surgical assistance; in less than ten minutes there were three medical men in the house, whit examined the invalid, and found him labouring under a violent paralytic affection. After trying the ordinary means for restoring suspended animation, the pcor man at length exclibited sibms of consciousness, but the /sewer of speech was altogether destroyed, neither has lie since that been able to articulate a single word; in many cases, we find that the utterance may be partially checked, or perhaps thickened, but in this instance, it appears as if the organ was entirely destroyed. In other resiiects, he has certainly sutrered little or no ill , consequence from the stroke, which is the first he has had. None of the other fact:hit% have been in the slightest degree affected. 2 1 1 1 2 2 MARKETS. CORN EXCHA N GE, Dfoxa•r, OCT. 4.
