Yesterday a Rowing Match took place at the Tower, for a wherry and various other prizes, given by the Ladies and Genthmtn of the neizlibourhood. The known skill of the six men who were to coidend for the prizes excited much interest, soil the three first heats, which were successively won by J. Macherell, R. Smock, and J.Cartwright, answered carry• expectation, and rendered the scene exceedingly smusiog. At six o'clock the three victors again started from the Tower-stairs, to contend for the grand prize, and here the amusements of the day became obscured, in conse quence of a prejudice which appeared to exist against one of the candidate■, Smock, as upon their starting one of his cons prtitors rowed se,uss his bust, and gave the third man an op. poi-wilily of passing; from this dilemma the skill and strength of Smock extricated him, but his good fortune was doomed to meet another rim k, for he writ immediately thwarted in a similar manner by the other. The vociferations of friends slut looting of opponents drowned all the sober arguments of those interested in the decision of the contest.

AADICAL REFORMERS. ssiquint• We have been BenVA that numerous parties of malcon tents rightly assemble in the environs of Carlisle, for the purpose of training and exercise, in Spite of his Royal Highness's gracious proclamation. Indeed, the Radicals themselves make no secret of it, and say, that as a commo tion is expected, they ore determined to be prepared for and be enabled to defend themselves , . These Radicals, it is supposed, amount to several hundreds belonging to Carlisle; and, taking into account those of the northern counties sow in a state of agitation, will form a large body of deter minate characters. The utmost vigilance, we hear, is exer clued respecting the security of Carlisle Castle, where vast quantities of arms and ammunition are stored. • Itare•STLE. SEPrtrtaß 17 .

A leiter from Stockton says, " Two delegates from the Manchester Reformers have arrived at Stockton, for the pot pose of arranging plans with the Radicals at this place. Several private meetings have been held ; but the Magistrates being informed of the circumstance, have cautioned the innkeepers, under forfeiture of their licenses, nut to suffer such meetings to be held in their houses." The delegates were doubtlessly Brayslyiw and a companion. A Sunderland correspondent says—" It is currently ►e ported here, that two delegates have been in this town, who have had Meetings with the Reformers, and who were pro ceeding to Shields and Wirth.

On Tuesday evening the Bridgeton Constables met in the Relief Meeting House, in Jot/Wm-street : about 120 were pre sent, and very few of them hid sticks. About eight o'clock, information was brought that a large concourse of people were coming from the Green by Rather:len Wide,. About 50 of the constables instantly went out to inert them, the Captain having enjoined, by every argument lie could use forbearauce on the part of the constables. They were met near Ruthrrglen Bridge by about 200 of the Radicals, com ing from the Green, who, when they observed the constables, threw down some stubs they were carrying, and dispersed. The constables went on to the Bridge, sod were informed that the younger part of the mob when there, proposed to attack a Wow, but that one of the three men who led them said, they were not strong enough, end must wait till they were joined by the Bridgeton lads. On returning from the Bridge, the constables found the mob at the corner of one of the streets greatly increased. They passed quietly through the mob, who hissed and pitched some small stones at them; they continued to pairole the streets till about 10, daring which time the mob grew more and more insulting, and threw many stones at the constables, who all this time had not made an attack on • single individual, though I of the constables had been struck, and one of them had a large !role cut in his bat by a sharp stone, which nearly knocked him dowu. This could no lungsr be endured ; the constables charged, s faint resistance was made, mot two or three of the mob got a severe beating. The constables continued after i this to disperse the mob wh hey met, and before 11 none of them were to be seen. It ought not to be forgot that ; on Monday evening the mailable, met the mob going into I Bridgeton after they sad brosen into the shops in Calton, land by timely interference prevented them from doing any damage in Bridgeton, though they were going with the de { dared purpose of breaking into a grocer's sloop. On Wednesday morning the populare met in Bridgeton. After some viuleut speeches had been made, and • buy who was hurt by the constables exhibited to the Meeting, they resolved, ,' Thal the constables on the preceding evening had committed a broach of the peace, and assaulted the peaceable inhabitants." As they were to meet again iu the evening at , fur the ostensible purpose of receiving an answer to the Petition of the Minim* r of the barony parish, resolved on at the late Meeting near the Gallowrite.toll, they were de sired to bring sticks to protect the inhabitants from theattacks attic cosstablee. Instead of meeting at the mural place, the Radicals, to the number of about 500, met at the Toll-hag, head ofJohn.sireet,about seven o'clock, and took possession of the road leading to the chapel, where the constables were In meet. About 30 of the mob (without their coals), advanced in front of the main body, and drove large stones at the con stables as they arrived individually. In consequence mot more than 20 constables belonging to Bridgeton got to the place of meeting. Three Justices of the Peace sad about 18 of their timetables had previously arrived from Glasgow. The mob came to front of the chapel, made • furious attack rest the Justices and constables. Two of the Justices gut some severe blows, and with the constables retired within the church, but bad not remained many minutes when several large Stones were driven through the windmill, sun which Aged. lied'oat, mid one of the Jostler, read the Riot Act. Tie mob soon after withdrew, and did not return for fifteen minutes. They were again beginning an attack on the constables, when a company of the 80th regiment came in aught, mid they dispersed.

Pardolmmo Waite. • "coddle-aged min. very genteely dressed in black, was indicted for felo niously forging and tittering a bill of Peels Inge. purporting to he of the value of 180/. with intent to defraud Joseph Wheatley. Mr. At.I.FY "Wed the ease to the Jury. Joseph AVlleatley stated, that he was a hosiery manufacterrer at Leicester, and had employed the Prisoner as his baleitnan, at a warehouse he kept in Wood-street, Clieroptiide; he had two assistants in the. warehouse. Ile had given •the Prisoner in structions when lie employed him in the beginning of the year 1818. that he was not to give credit to any jeers, nor In takers reader-stride bill. In the mouth of December lost, lie received a bill for one bemired and eigloy pounds, euclosed in a letter of the Prisoner's—[The letter and hill he now pro duced]—it was a six months bill, and when lie re ceived it, he was dissatisfied, as it was such a hill as the Prisoner had no right to have received. He came to town about a fortnight after mid inquired of the Prisoner who was " James L:iwes," the en. doper on the hill, to whom he sold the goods ; lie replied he was a merchant, who had just gone to Portugal, he believed, amid that he knew him to be • respectable mats. who passed 4o and from Portugal. —Witness then asked him who were the drawer and acceptor of the bill ? He said the drawer, C. W. Roland, was • timber-merchant, residing at Car ; witness said it would not do to have to go to Carlisle if the bill was not paid, and he wished the Prisoner to take it back and try and get another for it, but this he refused. He then left the bill with one of his assistants, but when it became due he could nut find either the acceptor, who was said to live at Manchester. or the drawer at Carlisle. He failed to find any such persons at either of the places. There was • Mr. Roland, a clerk at a banking-house at Carlisle, who was (except his father) the only man of the name there. Joh* Abbott:, of Manchester, who was represented to be the acceptor, was also tint to be found. He then came up to town to look after the Prisoner, whom he saw at the Mansion House, but he gave no new account of the way he (obtained the bill. Willies* took William Worsham, the officer, with him to Manchester mind Carlisle, where they in vain inquir ed for the mono( Arcady mentioned. Cross.exantined by Mr. ADoLptloS—Witness agreed to give the Prisoner a salary, and he wits to have a cominirsion, which was to rise in a ratio ac cording to the sales. The salary was to be 140/. a year. and it was to rile to 400/. and upwards, if the sales exceeded 17,0001. yer annum. He in. structed him, verbally. out to take ready-made bills, that is, not to take bills brought in ready drawn up. and so forth. 'The Prisoner might have, in the course of their comiexion, sent him down bills to a considerable amount, but be could not precisely specify it. In the course of the month of January he aacertsined that there was no such per. son at Carlisle as "C. W. Roland." He knew the Prisoner'. brother, to whom he complained of the bill ; the latter said. no doubt it was a good one, and witness admitted that he had offered to negociate the hill with the brother, who was a broker, and to take goods fur it from him or his friends, and told him lie was dissatisfied with the bill, awl did not think it a good one. He did not actu ally discharge the Prisoner, but the latter absented himself when lie expressed dissatisfaction about the bill. Ile knew where the Privoner lived after he had absented himself from the warehouse, amid had seen him several times in law Suits, where he brought him forward as • witness, in consequence of impro vident oaks he had made while in his service. He was produced and examined In his behalf last Term, and he had also mode depositions fur him in Chancery in the bankruptcy of one Plinhom. He had been bail for the Prisoner since he left his ser vice, so late is in the month of April ; he after wards ourrendered him in discharge of his bail, shortly after lie had been his witness at Guildhall, and while lie was in attendance by his desire at LincoliO-Jon, on a consultation. tee-crontined.—The occasion when he produced the Prisoner as a witness was in the case of Moseley Woolf, when witness sought the recovery of goods, deposited by Prisoner with %Vuolf. The officer who accompanied the first witness to Manchester and Carlisle corroborated his state ment, that no such persons as the acceptor and drawer of the bill could be found. Edward Harvey Roland. from Carlisle, proved, that except !morel( and his father, there were no other persons of that same at Carlisle. He had lived there all his life. and had never known any other family of this name except his own. His father had been a timber-merchant about Isis years ago. The bill was now handed to witness, who exa mined the signature to it. and said it was net in either his or his father's hand-writing. The tax-collectors at Manchester proved, tint there was Pa such Deana as Abbott. (the acceptor) residing in Mancoester. - John James Reynolds stated, that he was a clerk in the warehouse at Wood-street, Cheapside, when the Prisoner was there last December. He re membered at that time the Prisoner selected a pared of goods to he sent out, and entered them in the waste-book himself. The entry was made in the name of " James Lowe.," and the amount set down at 1401.; wittiess knew no such person as James Lewes, nor did he remember any one of that name coining to the warehouse to give orders about any goods. The bill was here handed to witness. which he said he first saw with the Prisoner. The case was here closed for the prosecution, and the Prisoner, on being called upon for his de fence, replied. that he left his case with him Coun sel, who produced the following witnesses George Clarke, a shoemaker, in St. John-street. Smithfield, said, he was last November acquainted with Due George Harrowell, a coachmaker, living in Long-acre ; he had been there for a number of yearn, but was now gone....[Here the hill on which the Prisoner was indicted was put into witness's hand., and lie was asked whether he hail seen it before ? he replied. he had. nod it was offer ed to him on payment by one Pearse, who was known to flarrowell. but as the bill was endorsed " Lower," he inquired who that person was.].-.

Witting received in exchange for the bill goods of the hosiery kind. he supposed. but he could not speak positively, as he never saw the packages opened. Between leaving the hill and receiving the goods, a week or ten (lays might have elapsed. The goods were fetched from witness by Hammen'. servant. When he went to the hank of Roberts sod Co. he was accompanied by the Prisoner'. brother. who heard what was said there re specting Roland the drawer. The ?email he went will, the hill in give the order to the Prisoner was, that he wished to give him a !preference, as lie bad no trifling occasions discounted hills fur him. The answers sit Rubarts's respecting Roland were very satisfactory. by Mr. ALLEY. —He could not say where Mr. Harrowell was now, he had heard he was gone to the %Vest Indies. Mr. Pearse, who can. , to him with the bill. was also away ; he could not tell where. Pram was only a messenger in the transaction, he never took any trouble to find him. Harrowell used to ship goods to the East Indies. The goods were not sent to Moseley Woolf—he did not know where they were sent. He had seen other bills of the same kind as that connected with this case. Witness did not remember what sort of hosiery he was directed to purchase. He had never been able to find persons of the names of C. W. Roland and Jos. Abbott.. lie remembered going to the Prosecutor sfter the bill had been objected to. but he was not called upon to say whist passed between them. John White, brother of the Prisoner, said he was a sworn broker, for bills among other things, and had his office in Loilibury ; remembered to have seen the bill now in question with the last witness Clarke, whom he accompanied to Robarts and Cur tis's bank, where the answers respecting the bill were quite siitisfactory. At his brother's desire he also inquired a second time, and received a perfect ly satisfactory answer. The bill was payable in Queen-street. Cheaptide, where he also received sa tit.factory answers, or which he apprised his brother. He had at a future time, or about two months after he first saw the bill, cotumnnicated respecting it with the Prosecutor, who informed him that since he had been last in town he had made inquiries con. cerning the parties in the bill, and did not like the answers he received. Witness expresiied his regret at the circumstance, and said that his own inquiries had been satisfactorily answered in the first instance. The Prosecutor still said he was dissatisfied, and offered the hill to the witness, saying, he would part with it for any goods. Witness said he could, he was sure, negticiate it with the Prosecutor's en dorsement. but this the latter refused, and he there fore declined negociating the bill for him. Cross •examined.—W hen lie inquired at the hatiking-house, one of the clerks, Richard Hodg- son, said. he knew Mr. Roland, of Carlisle, very well, and believed him to be a most respectable man. The clerk was from Carlisle, ■nd witness sheweil him the bill before he received the answer he had already mentioned. He was in the habit of inquiring about bills for his brother. Richard Hodgson was a clerk in the house of Ro berts. Curtis, and Co. and was a native of Carlisle. He remembered an inquiry bring made, but he could not say when, respecting Mr. Roland, of Car lisle, and his answering that Mr. Roland was a very respectable man. The inquiry had been originally made of a clerk at the counter, and witness was called to answer it, as he was recently from Carlisle. A bill was shewn to him by the person who made the inquiry, but he could not say this was the bill. He replied that Mr. Roland, of Carlisle, was a re spectable man ; he did not know his Christian name ; he might have said that Mr. Roland had been a titubtr-merchant, and he believed he added that he could not undertake to say that the signa ture to the bill was Mr. Roland's. He merely its formed the inquirer, that there was a Mr. Roland at Carlisle, and that he was considered a very re spectable person. A number of witnesses, of great respectability, gave the Prisoner an excellent character for a long course of years up to this time—they had known him holding confidential employments, and had many dealings with him. Mr. Baron GRAHAM briefly summed up the evi dence to the Jury, who almost instantly returned a Verdict of—/Vot Guilty. Oa the application of Mr. ALLEY. the Prisoner was detained in custody until he could find bail, on a bill found against him by the Grand Jury, for a conspiracy with Moseley Wolf and others. FORGING A SEAMAN'S WILL. . Thomas Fonsiele, a Portuguese Jew, was indict ed for feloniou,ly forging, on the 7th July, an in strument purporting to be the last will and trite messt of John Anderson, with intent to defraud M . Buckle and Co. Re was also indicted for uttering the same, kirowintr, it to be forged. A Jury, half foreigners, was empannelled at the Prisoner'. desire. Mr. BOLLAN D stated the case to the Jury. John Fleming said, that lie was clerk to the De puty Register of the Consistory Court of London. and produced a will which was sworn to in Doctors' Commons, but he could not speak to the person of the Prisoner. W. G. Clarkson, a proctor in Doctor.' Com mons, proved, that in the month of July the Pri soner came to him and applied to have a probate prepared for the will now en Court. It was prepar ed and sworn to in the visual manner by the Pri soner before one of the Doctors. lie said he was the regular executor, but it appeared iu the body of the will that the name was Anderson while the stingier, was Andresen. Prisoner said the matt died last year on board the Batavia East India Company's ship. In answer to questions from the Prisoner, wit- I ness said that he told biro (Prison's) there was • eseese wisest the will, but that the man insisted the will was good, required a probate rot it, and declared he would try the validity of the will in Doctors Convertors,.

The officer who arrested the Prisoner, and who had already put in the probate of the well, which he found in the Prisoner's pocket, now put u. another will. which he found upon him at the same lime, and which had the same subscribing wit nesses to it. The Prisoner here produced a bundle of pape.s. and said, " I have fifty wills here—l keep a hofg. lug-house for sailors, and they constantly lesve me twins; they leave them with we when they go to *ea." The two wills found upon the Prisoner were read by the Clerk. One of them was the will fo• forging and uttering which he was indict. d, and which left the whole of his property, whatever it should prove to be. to the Prisoner. It was drawn up as if executed by the deceased, iu March, 1816. No place where it was executed was named.
