FRANIC AVG. 38. 84 thCnVeolholt of Se Mieltaelmas fair, the Police Oft tee hair pabliihed, as usual, an ordinance relative to the stringers who arrive in this city, because this fair draws together. a great many auspicious persona, who take advan t.tge of the great concourse of persons from various parts et the world, to enter clandestinely, under various charge t• rs, with the hope of finding opportunity for robbery and a lndting. Under these circumstances, it is the duty of every citizen strictly to follow the regulations of the police, the objeet of which is to check anti discover dangerous characters of this description. Every stranger, without exception, is bound to declare at the Police, his name, con dition, and abode, the very day-of his arrival, or the fol lovitg morning, if he arrives after six in the evening.

Every violation of any pan of this ordinance will be punished by a fine of five crowns. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS Sta—A few days ago you published a report of the ex amination of Monsieur Antonio at the Mary-la-bonne Po lice-office, charged with keeping open a dancing-room in o%ford-stroet, and for receiving money for the admission. Upon that occasion the evidence, in the opinion of the worthy Magistrate, was not sufficiently strong to show that money had been taken for the entrance, but that it had been paid for a coffee-ticket, and Mr. A. was discharged ; however, he stated that an immense quantity of ready-made coffee was sold during the evening (six or seven gallons). The Magistrate said he had no power to interfere. Now, Sir, I oeg to refer you to the 3d Geo. IV. c. IS, commonly called the Coffee-shop Act, by which it is enacted, " that no, shop, room, or place for the sale, or under the pretence of selling ready-made coffee, tea, and other liquors, within the city of London or the liberties thereof, within the limits of the weekly bills of mortality, or within any of the Parishes before mentioned, shall be kept open after the hour of eleven at night during any part of the year, nor opened before the hour of four in the morning between Lady-day and Michaelmas, or before six in the morning between Michaelmas and Lady-day; and if any such shop, room, or place shall be open within the hours hereinbefore prohibited, or being shut up, if any person shall during those hours be found therein, except the persons actually dwelling there, or having lawful excuse for being there, thert•the master, mistress, waster, or other person having the care, government, or management of such shop, room, or place, whether he or she he the real owner or keeper thereof or not, shall forfeit not exceeding 101. nor less than upon conviction before any Justice of the Peace, by confession or upon the oath of one witness; and if the party so convicted shall not immediately pay the said pe nalty, the Justice shall commit him or her to hard labour in de House of Correction for not exceeding three months, nor less than six days, unless the said penalty shall b; simmer paid." The Act then states the manner in which the penalty is to be dietribisted, viz. one moiety to the in former, and the other moiety to the Chamberlain of the City of London, if the offence be committed in the City, if out of the City, then to the Receiver for the purposes of the Act. Now, Sir, I have the unspeakable misfortune to stitte, that the nuisance has been continued and bids fair to be continued, unless suppressed by magisterial interference. It really Is extremely hard that respectable tradesmen are t be annoyed and deprived of rest for whole nights to gra tify Mr. Antonio and his visiters, who boast that the law does not reach them; however, I think they are mistaken, as`the owner clearly comes under the Act quoted, and I think the whole are liable to he taken up under the Va grant Act, as being a meeting composed of loose and de 'batched characters. By inserting the above in your va luable paper, you will confer a favour on, Sir, Your very obedient servant, AN INHABITANT OF OXFOSD.STREET. Oxford -street, Sept. 7,1826. SPORTING INTELLIGRYCZ.

OF OAS sitARES, AT (MRRAWAY'S. • • • Yesterday the Mies at Gatraway'e was crowded, in. consequence Of an adeertiastessnit that fifty shares in the Independent Gas-light and floke Company were to be sold by auction. The bill stated that the shares tete to be sold, to settle a partiteri , bin concern. in ten Loki, each . consititing.of • five Aimee, tend that they were 251. shares; upon • tech of which 1111. had been already pied. It was evident, front the violent noiseasil barbarous contradictions which took place, that there were muny in the room deeply interested in the sale, and we collected from the hints thrown out and the charges distinctly brought, that members of the Compary, whose shares were to be tielo, and of the.lmperial Gas-light Company (which is "a chartered Colony) formed the majority of those present. .Me. ;Mitchell, in calling the attention of the Immo to the share,. described Bonita the shares of one of the most flourishing Com panies in Ila;lentl. A Gentleman begged to know the nature of the transfer ; whether a purchaser was to become liable for nu more than the amount of the subscription upon, each share, or whether his responsibility was of a more extensive nature? Mr. Mitchell said the Company was not a speculation ; it was firmly established, and productive in an extraorelnary degree. The amount, paid into the hands of the banker was 2.4,0001. The re mainingii pet share to be paid up, would eomplete the demaod, and there could exist no question of the high profits of theconcern; but he admitted the responsibility must be on all the proprietors, as was the case in any unchartered company.. One of the optioAte party—•• By. purchasing your shares, I be came a partner ia your 'concern, and if you contract debts to the amount of 30;0thfi, or 40,0':01. I ant liable for the whole of it. know I can come neon tbe other proprietors if I can find them, but where am Ito find them." (A laugh and tumuli) Mr. Mitt ' e !mid. the present condition of the Company was an answer to any objection a any kind. It. was advancing most rapidly to a high pnifit. Although it commenced under di ffi culties It produced on the 4th June at the ratcof 4.000/. per annum. rnee that it produced at the rate of 8,0001. per annum, and before Michaelmas it was expected, and indeed the actual engagements fully justified the expectation, to reach between 10,0 0 0 1 . and 12,000/. " How in the name of God can that be," said a gentleman, " when the Company are serving gas at 40, or GO, or 60 per cent. lower than the Chartered Company. It was denied that the Independent CoMpany was serving gas at the rate above.mentioned, but one of the share-holders said they were able to reeve 20 per cent. under the charge of the Chartered Company,becausa they were able to go to market better. The person who mentioned the low demand on which the share holders are to calculate for their profits, said he could produce proofs of the correctness of his statement as to the desperate effort to get a trade. One or the proprietors of the " Indepe • !rot Gas Coml . : any," immediately gave the lje direct to this assertion, and defied the proof. Several names were then read by the Gentleman who was charged with the falsehood, and stated by him to be now purchasers in the Independent Company, and to hare been purchasers in the Im perial. One, it stated, who paid 131. 10s. for gas to the chartered Company, paid 8/. to the lodenendent Company ; another who paid 41.105. W. to the former, paid 21. 14a. to the latter ; a third who paid 4!. 164. to the former, paid 21. 14s. to the latter. This statement gave rise to considerable tumult, and hlr. Mit chell attempted to check it, and railed upon the gentlemen around him to permit him to go on with the toile, A Gentleman saki that Mr. Mitchell, in endeavouring to prevent a proper inquiry into the elate of the property in which they were called upon to embark, was far from being justified. It was not becoming to attempt to check by clamour the reasonable demands of the public before they engaged in any Company. Hera a person said, " I was offered 20 or 30 shares in the In dependent Company,' this nmenitg, at three and a-half discount. I was offered shares on which half of the deposit of 18/. had not been paid." Another—" They moat have been forfeited shares." A Third—" Prey, by what authority do you forfeit the shares purchased by the public ?" It was answered, that the full explanation of the rules always at. companied the transfer of shares. The conditions in which shares were to be available were purely well known. Those who held shares and would not pay upon them, must forfeit the advantages derivable from the establishment. _ A person in the crowd—"ls the Company solvent r The Secretary—" The question is impertinent, but I will an. swer it. The Company is as solver.t as it is possible to bc." The Gentleman who asked the question said he was backed by Judge Bayley in believing it to be necessary to ascertain that very important question, as the learned Judge declared that a Company under such circumstances was jointly and severally responsible for the debts contrac ted, The Secretary said, that this was not a trading company. There were no goods to be purchased, no debts to be contracted. The proprietors in fact had no responsibility upon them. Whet !" said one in the crowd, " not a trading company ! don't you deal in coals ?" The answer was in the negative. The same Interrogator--'' A coal or a coke proprietor can come down upon you, and every one of you for .lebt, but you can't come down upon a debtor. You have no Act permitting you to sue and to beeped, and you can't compel payment." Ilene a long and extremely confused conversation wok place, from which we collected the followingt—lt was stated by the " In dependent Company, that it was a regulation for the security of the Company, that the character of any person to whom shares were transferred, would be list& to be scanned by the proprietors, but that there was no demand to be made upon the person who pur chased, until his title was admitted, and that the owner of live shares should be entitled to a vote. " Who," a voice cried out, " is to guarantee that there will be a call for no more than V. in addition to the 181. already paid." Mr. Mitchell said, " the body at large." A Voice—" The body at large is a rope of sand." Another Voice—" You come here to sell your shares at a pre. mhun. I'll sell you thirty at W. discount. One of the Independent Company—" I'll take one hundred at that rate." Mr. Mitchell was then asked whether he would himself. after the high character he had given of the Company, guarantee that there would be no further demand than he had specified ? Mr. Mitchell—" Certainly not. The vendors will guarantee you." A Person in the crowd—" That's nothing. If the Company is involved the vendor must be involved." One of the Independent Company said this was all done to de preciate the value of the abates, but if it should be found to have that effect,and that the statements made to their prejudice were false, a Cdurt of Law could be resorted to. The Seeret;4:uirnir..ingasliedwhat timber of private lights were furnished by the Company, said hundreds, nay thousands. So many, that the rival Company came togethct to express their surprise at so great a phenomenon of light. An old Uenticsnan observed, that overpowering as the light might be to some, he saw he was doomed to go away in darkness. (A laugh.) The confusion at length sobsitfed, but not before Mr. Mitchell was requested to send for an officer to preserve the peace. M r.. Mitchell said he hoped to sell the fifty shares in question at 31. premium lie had sold nine at 41. He then put them up. The first lot reached a premium of 195., and all the rest rescued 17. 3 oral were bought in. 7'HE NEW GARDEN ROBBERY ACT. CORONER'S INQUEST. An Inquisition, which bad been adjourned from Friday last, was on Tuesday afternoon resumed at the JoHy Oratdeners public- house, Peascod-lane, , Windsor. before •FAINISS liar, Eery, the Coroner for Berkshire, on the body of Thomas Cooper, a young; man who was shoclut week by Mr. William Blowsheld, a market gardener in the neighbourhood, whose grcunds at the tote, in con junction with two others, he was in the act of plundering. Till the passing of the Act, rendering it a felony, in the close of the last Seision of Parlitment, the staling of garden produce from the grounds while growing wasaccotuned a trespass, and was only punishable by a brae equivalent to the amount of damage done, or, in event of non-payment, by imptisonment. The inadequacy of this punishment was severely felt by the market gardeners, of whom there are many In this county, and whose grounds were con. tonally being plundered by gangs of lawless fellows, who, emboldened by the smallness of the penalty, sad calculating upon the probabilities of escaping detection, bad at last attained to such a pitch of insolence, that it was no uncommon thing tor the plundered party to be taunted, by being shown some of the fruit procured by the depredations of the-preceding night. In this mannet the deceased man happening to meet Air. Blowsheld in the street, not quite a tottnight back, insulted him by pulling some apples out et his pocket, and holding them up exclaimed. " Bete, you old fool, will you have some cheap apples." The deceased's family have long borne a very indifferent character In the neigh bourhood ; two of his brothers have been transported. and he him self has' repeatedly been convicted of robbing orchards, and for other petty depredations. William Cooper, labourer, the•fatber of the deceased, stated that on the night of Saturday week be went to bed about too o'clock. About two hours afterwards lie heard the deceased open the street door, and go to his own r,om. Ile groaned very mach, and in consequence wit:teas and his mother went to him, and inquired whet was the matter ? lie answered that be bad been abot. and it. quested a Doctor might be sent for, which was accordingly done. Witness observed several gum-shot wounds on different parts of his son's body, and from which the bloctiwas Bowing. Mr.llolderness, the surgeon, soon after attired, and• examined and dressed his wound,. At subsequent interview which witness had with his son, the latter expressed his conviction that 'he was &dying man,' and after -so saying. lie, in answer to witness's inquiries, stated, t that " he went over into Plii Witeckey's, meaning Blowstield's, garden, with Thomas Field, of Datchet, and another man who I worked at Slaughter's, in Clever parish, and that a 'man suddenly came upon them from behind an apple tree, and caHed out—who's there ? They did not answer, hot turned to run off, whet die man Fred upon them, and wounded bin :ered. one or his companions " Mary Cooper, the mother, corroborated this evidence , and in ad dition stated, that on the S unday morning Fiefil called upon her, and shoot l the wounds on his arm and side which he had received, and which be said he got dressed by a surgeon at Calobrook. Mr. lloklernese, surgeon, had been called in to attend the de. ceased ; there were nearly 70 shots- in different parts of hie body. Witness attended hint till the time of hitaticath which he was of opinion was 'caused by the e ff usion of bl o4 ,linto the cavity of the chest, and trythe inflammation ofthe heart and lungs, both pro duced by the gun-shot wounds boded remised. Mr. Blowatield, the markerzgarskner, • after being 'cautioned ta say nothing that might criminate himself, was neat sworn. • Ile stated that' he resided in a cottage on the garaes..and that his_ most valuable fruit having been continually plutidered, he deter- IN. Floor mined on keeping a watch; and on the - nigliof Sstunlay week he saw three men gathering apples from a tree, near the centre of the garden. lie called out to them to desist and surrender themselves, telling them that if they attempted to move he would tire upon them. They, however, ran off, and he fired his gun at them when at a vhstance of about forty yards. tie was not aware that he had wounded any of them till the following morning. This being the whole of the evidence, the. Coroner summed it lip ; when the Jury expressed a pretty general opinion that the case was one of justifiable homicide. The Coroner said that was the opinion be himself entertained; but as the Act making the robbery of iontdens a felony had been but recentlyy• passed, and as it wan by at Act that the deed of Mr. illowtsfield was, if it all, .to be justified,, he should prefer ad journing the inquiry till he could procure a copy of the ,10.. Aecordingly•the Jury adjourned from Friday till Tuesday last, when they re-own:Waist she tame place. The Coroner, artefact:ming to the object for which they had again met, produced the new Act, which was passed on the bib of July, and keratin operative from and after the Ist of August last. After reading the Act, the Coroner Stated that the case being a new one, lie hail, for their and his own satisfaction, taken the opinion of Counsel thereon, and which he read to them; and in winch the Learned Counsel had stated, that, under the circum stances, he was of opinion that, by virtue of the recent Statute, the firing upOn 'and killing the deceased was an act of justifiable homicide. The Jury, without healtatien, returned a verdict to that effect. LI VE RPOUL, TUESDAY EVENING. Wind, N.W.—High Water, 4?. nt. p. 4.

CORN EXCIIA WE, WED%ub&t,' The supirliett of Grain fresh up since Monday are moderate. The trade to oar Market to-day was generally dull, nevertheless the few sales made, realised Monday's currency. POI:ICE:‘ MAirstow-Horst, SEPT. 7.—A man named Brernley, who is a hanger-on about the Clacton stage-coaches, was charged by a gentleman with an assault. The defendant, it appeared, is in the habit of wanding on the pavement, smoking tobacco, end insulting both ladies and gentle men. Upon this occasion he naktel two ladies whether they were going to Clacton, and when Answered in the negative, he abused them. The witness expostulated with him, and immediately re ceived a blow for his pains. The blow was evenvepeatcd after the fallow was put under the charge of the watchman. The Bonn Marna, after some remarks upon the general bad . conduct of all the persons employed 'about stage coaches, ordered the defendant to Mid bail. • GIJIRDHALL, SEPT. T.—The driver of the cabriolet. No. 12. appeared upon a summons, to answer the charge of Mr. Martin, of having cruelly treeted his hone a few days since near the Royal Exchange. Before the charge wae . gone into, Mr. Martin stepped forward, when he spoke to the following effect : May it plea's! your Worship—Before I go into this charge, I cannot refrain from remarkiog on the virulent manner in which I have for some time past Wpm attacked by a portion of the public press. There ie one individual in particular ; I mean Mr. —, (here the Hon. Member menthined the name of the gentleman he accused), whom I well know to be the Editor of the Morning Chronick, and the author of some of the paragraphs of which I have to complain.. This individual the other day boldly asserted in his paper that I was guilty of partiality in selecting my charges —that I made charges against a poor man, when I would not make them against a rich man—that I let the nobility and gentry go un. punished, whilst I persecuted the poor man—in fact, that I was a l most infamous character t and that his Majesty himself was guilty l of the most cruel conduct towards hones, the contrary of which almost every person knows to be truth. I now, Sir, dist incly say, that if this Editor, or any other pasta, will point out to me any person, whether he i pe the richest nobleman, gentleman, or COM moner, who has been guilty of cruelty towards his cattle, I will most willingly prosecute him. As to the charge against his 31a jestY, of hem* guilty of cruelty to hie horses, I can myself safely say that such is not the case: for being fond of horses myself, I have been in the habit of visitiog his Majesty's stables, and cer. j tainly more kindness, or more attention and humanity, could not Ibe evinced, than by the conduct of those who have the manage- Iment of the hones there. This Editor has used language regard ing me, which implies that I am a scoundrel and a rascal, and that lam an object that ought to be scourged and put to death. I feel guarded in what I now say, because I know I am liable, by the law, to answer to him for what I say regarding him, in the same manner as he shall, most assuredly, answer before a Jury of his country for what he has said of me. Having said thus much, I shalt now beg, with your permission, to withdraw this charge against the man now before you, because I have satisfied !myself that the accused man is deserving of this le:ity, and I know I shall be attacked for my lenity in the same way that I was before attacked for my severity. Mr. Alderman BRIDGES expressed himself perfectly satisfied that the Honourable Member's Act had done a deal of good, and was highly serviceable, not only to the owners of horses but also to the owners of uses. (A laugh.) These latter animals he had fre quently himself seen cruelly beaten with large clubs, but he was happy to say that since the enforcement of thia Act of Parliament the practice had most materially abated. The case was then dismissed. Me. Martin said, he could not observe upon the charge contained in the paper alluded to regarding the cruelty of his Majesty towards animals, • because," said the Honourable Member, •• the contrary is the reverse. I know that the mind and feelings of our most gra cious Sovereign are directly opposite. 1 know well that when a police officer of the name of Townsend, and who was in the habit of attending on his Majesty, was charged with cruelty towards an animal, that his Majesty would not let this man again approach the palace until an inquiry had been instituted, and the charge against him clearly disproved; and it was not, therefore, likely that his Majesty would connive at cruelly using a horse; therefore, such observations from the pen of-any editor were monstrous." A few other complimentary remarks here paled between the wer.hy Alderman and the Honourable Member, as to the great benefits dented by the legislative measure which the Honourable Member bad been instrumental cot only in getting enacted, but also enforced. The matter then dropped, and the worthy Alderman continued sitting to hear some Bartholomew-fair charges. BOW-STREET. SEPT. 7.—This being the period of Ttartholo. mew-fair, several journeymen fringe-makers, apprentices. and others, were brought before the Magistrate, for absenting them. selves from their work. The lenient course of suspending the warrant, upon good behaviour, was taken towards those who showed symptoms of penitence. Lady Berkeley, residing in Spring-gardens, was fined ten pounds, at the instance of the contractor for cleansing the parish of St. Mar tin-in-the-Fields, for permitting the dust and ashes on her pre mises to be removed by unauthorised persons. Her Ladyship it appears has been in the habit of paying 20s. a-year for having that service performed, which she is liable to a penalty of 101. for not allowing to be done free of expense. A professional gentleman attended on her ladyship's behalf, and contended that the penalty ins not recoverable unless it could be shown that the dustmen gave due notice by their bells that they were going their rounds. This notice, be said, could not be given so as to be heard by her ladyship's servants, in consequence of the secluded situation of her house. The only approach to it, excepting by the Park, was through a passage, up which passage the servants of the plaintiff did not go. The dust taken from the premises did not amount to more than one cart load in the year. Mr. Dupree, contractor for the parish. stated, that he was bound to press cases of this kind against offenders under the sta tute, as the only mode he had of protecting his own interests. He paid upwards of 3.000/. per annum to the parish. The dustmen declared that their bell could be heard ten times u far as her ladyship's premises from their usual beat. CAUTION TO HACKNEY-COACHMEN. HATTON-CIANDEN, SEPTEMBICII IiaM Bennet, a youth, apparently about I 6 years of age, was this day brought up before the sitting Magistrate, charge d by Thomas Edwards, one of the officers of this establishment, with furiously driving a coach, while in a state of great intoxication, into theyard belonging to Sadler's Wells Theatre, on the 23d of last month, sod with using, on being remonstrated with by Edwards, the most gross and abusive language. The o ffi cer did not produce hie staff to show his Ruth°. rily, as he was conscious the prisoner knew him perfectly well ; so intoxicated was the prisoner, that he fell while in the midst of his abusive harangue and threatening gestures, between the home. Coachee admitted the charge, and, in palliation, stated that he' had drank a drop too much with a brother of his, whom he had not seen before los fourteen years. lie was extremely sorry for hi. conduct. In consequence of his apparent contrition, and this being his first offence, the illagisttate fined him in the mitigated penalty of five shillings and costs. The proprietor of the coach, who resides in Leather-lane, Hol born, stepped forwatd, and thanked his Worship for his leniency. saying that it was always his wish, should any of his men obstruct the officers in their duty, that they should he dealt with to the utmost extent of the law. There were several cases of riotous drunkenness on the part of men coming from Ilartholomew-fair. They were ordered to Sad bail. IMPORTANT TO 'PUBLICANS. MART-LAAIIOXINTE, SUPT. —The Reverend Dr. Tenfold, Rector of the district church o f AU Souls, made the following sp. plication to Mr. RawLINsoN, at this office :—The Rev. Doctor said that for some time put a most alarming and excessive nuisance had existed in the parish, to which he would wish to draw his (the magistrate's) particular attention. The nuisance he complained of was as follows :—The publicans were allowed to keep their hours open on the Sabbath morning until about eleven o'clock, and they invariably kept disorderly persons within until the last moment, when they were ejected, sometimes with difficulty, and generally in an intoxicated state, wh e n they wandered about the parish, and obstructed the more respectable and well-ordered persons who were on their quiet way to church, which, the Rev. Doctor said, had even been assailed by those dissolute persons assembling around, and thronging its avenues, and the congregation had their feelings often outraged by the ribaldry which too freely passed amongst those persons. He wished to prevent, if possible, such scenes, and therefore recommended that a public notice should be issued, call. ing upon the publicans to close their houses earlier, and strictly to conform with the regulations of the Act of Parliament. Mr. Raw Lissow said he most willingly would wish to check such 'public annoyance, and would, before any notices werepab send his officers round to the publicans, and give them a caution, which he hoped would have .the desired effect. The Rev. Gentleman bowed and withdrew. fVnt. Slipper, a journeyman baker ; was brought before Mr. Rawlinson, the sitting Magistrate, on a charge of having feloni ously emb•zzled ten-pence, the property of his master. It appeared that Mr. Alelhuish, his master, who lives at 14, Hen.. rietta-street, Manchester-square, had on Monday last sent the pri soner, as natal, to deliver bread to his customers. The bread was, delivered, and 10d. taken by Slipper from a customer, who is in the habit of paying for his loaf. This was the 10d. which he was said to have embezzled. Instead of returning home, however, it ap hpears hhat Bartholomew-fair, or some such attraction, had kept im away till a late hour, and, unable to return in time, he sent another person to take his place pro tempore. Ile did riot get home till Tuesday evening; when, instead of having to handle the dough and to pitch his tent fur the night in the bakehouse, he was greeted by the Warrant, and a peremptory invitation to spend the night in the watchhouse. This was the sum of the story—the " very head and front" of the prisoner's offending. Mr. Alelhuish, in developing his charge, 101.1 such a cock and a bull story, that the Magistrate was obliged to interpose, and ask whether he really meant to bring the prisoner up on a charge of embezzling his money, or for leaving his service. •M r. 111elh4ish—Why, really, to tell the truth, 1 bad him brought up principally for leaving my service. Mr. RAWLIXSON—This is very extraordinary conduct in a man of your apparent reap viability. There appears to have been no intention on the part of the prisoner to embezzle your money, or even to leave your service. It seems at most to have been a null; not a very wise one certainly, hut still there does not appear to have been any criminal intention. Would you have any objection to make the matter up, and take the man back to your service ? Mr. Ilielhuish-1 should have no objectiana in respect to his honesty. 1 have no idea that he meant to defraud me. Air. RaWLINION.-This is no trines than your duty. Here haw you brought this man up on a charge of *luny, which you plainly , admit has no foundation wh a t ever . Th e effect of such a chug* , I upon his character is very heavy, and a disproportionate punish • runt for his offence, and the least you can do is to *Ake him beat that you e you he re may k have from him. an opportunity of regaining that character ith: c i taen WATCHMEN. The case which we reported from this office on Monday L. % et cited considerable attention, lie furnishing another example rf th t exercise of the fielf-eonstitmcct authority of the guardians o , t h e night. Japes, the complainant in that ease, who waft so inuniously and illegally sent to the watch house for merely 11 , 4 , come ill words towards the watchman, was in atten d ance at the, Vestry this morning, where the watchman's conduct was gated. QUEEN-SQUARE, SEPT. 7.—Twelve men, all stokers at Westminster Gas Works, were brought before Mr. 'Mane tAxe. the Magistrate, on a warrant, charged with having unlawful:, combined together and struck for an advance of wanes, w h mt, the greatest inconvenience was caused in the works, s li d ,b e greater part of Westminster was neatly in total darkness. .11r. Evans, the superintendent. stated, that the whole of tl'e prisoners were employed in the gas works in the retort-room ;4 stokers, and were engaged at 27e..per week. They came to On, work as usual on Monday morning, but in the afternoon or E , them, a man named Rice (who was not then amongst them), e m , before the Committee of Directors and said that he was the trp r ,_ sensitive of all the stokers. and that he had been deputed by t f le ,, to inform the Board that they would work no longer unless their wages were advanced from 275. to 30s. per week. The Inrecto, did not feel disposed to accede to the demand. The men instan.lt left off work and went away. All but six returned to their labour,. The six men that left proceeded to a gang of other stokers the were employed by the Company, who were to come on duty e t s ,; lo'clock in the evening, and by their threats induced MO E cf I to stop away.. . . . The defendants said, that they had been promised an that, induced them to resume their work at the bettianing Of one week; but finding the promise was not fulfilled, they stitternutui to leave. Mr. Roberta, the foreman, denied having made the pro m ,,, Mr. MAR NLAW D observed, that he believed the poor fellows h i t been deceived. He could not think of sending them to r r i so , under all the circumstances, and advised them to go hack to u work. Mr. Evans said he had now no occasion for them, as E t taken on others, who were very glad to work at the usual • therefore they were no longer in his employ. The defendants were then discharged with a suitable adoicti..a. UNION -HALL, SEPT. 7.—A man named Mapleton was bure t before the sitting 3logistrete, At. SWABEY, Esq., charged having excited a riot and disturbance before the house al% Leach, a respectable surgeon and areoucheur, of Vau x hall,;, publicly accusing that gentleman of haviak murdered one et kit (Mapleton's) children. Mr. Leach stated, that about two years ago he attended rle of the defendant's children, a little girl, who west dangerously ill et the amall-poz. Ha did every thing that medical skill could roe. pit, but the child died, ever since which period he has been sul. ject to the most foul and base imputations on his character by tit defendant. who has frequently accused him of having adin!roErf4 poison to his child instead of remedies far the smallpox. On S. turday last the defendant came before witness's door, and rollfrvi an immense mob by calling out " there is the man that murdered my child." Upon witness's going out to order him away, he trade use of the following threat—" I don't mind hanging for your sake, so that I may have a father's revenge fur the murder of bit child._ Blood will have blood, and I must drink your's before long." Mr. Leach added, that he considered his life in danger from the an. placable resentment of the man. The Magistrate asked the defendant to state his reason foe his conduct. The latter stated, that he solely ascribed her death to poison, administered by her medical attendant. The complainant offered to call forward two gentlemen, w h o would testify to his having treated the child in tt.e ben possible manner. The Magistrate did not consider this to be necessary, sod pointing out the consequenc,s to the defendant, if he should per. severe in his present conduct, asked if he would promise to desist for the future? The defendant replied in the affirmative, and Mr. Lath being .atisfied the case was dismissed. A DESPERATE LOVER. [Prom the lin Freeman's Journal.] INQUEST AT CARTON. On IVednesday last, early in the m orn i ng , t h e b o d y o f Parr i : Doyle. one of the under gamekeepers of his Grace the Duke o. !Amster, was found lying dead in the dairy.yard, his fowling.pire and a poker by his side, with the latter of which he had effkted the fatal discharge that caused hie death. The Coroner, Mr. Harrison (being then engaged holding an inquest at Rs-more), repaired. on hearing the melancholy intelligence, the following morning early to Carton, and having sworn a Jury, proceeded to hear Mc evidence, after a prerirus view of the body, which .was an awful spectacle, the entire of the right breast being dreadfully lacerated. and the enirt and clothing in front burned by the wadding. Patrick Quinn examined.—Swore that, beingemployed at Carton, he was going to his work at half-past five o'clock; that on passing through the dairy yard, lie saw Patrick Doyle, whom he knew, lying on his back; a gun. which appeared to have been just discharged. was lying, with a poker, by his side; his clothes were burning from the wadding. The poker must hare theen used by deceased to press upon the trigger, and the deceased thus effected his fain! purpose. Witness gave the alarm. Matthew Cooney was him. A love affair, witness believes, was the cause of deceased committing this rash act. James Kearney examined--Is his Grace's sportsman; thee's. ceased was his under gamekeeper. Saw him last alive on Tuesday evening ; heard of his death on the morning following, between the and six o'clock ; came immediately to where he was lying: ob served a gun-shot wound under his right breast it must have beets effected with shot; deceased had no bullets witness is positive deceased's mind was disturbed, but not from his situation, as be was very comfortable. lie was paying his addressed '0 one of the maids at Carton, a girl about 10 or 17 years old.
