A duel was prevented from taking place at Win chester last week, by the timely interference of the Magistrates.. Some difference having arisen be. tween two Gentlemen of the Garrison, they had agreed to decide their dispute in a field not far from Winchester, but the intention of the parties having transpired, the meeting was prevented, and the Gentlemen were bound to keep the peace.

LONDON S WS S I ON3, Cumm Aram 22. Ara 22. field before the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, Me Racoeoee, and a very numerous Bench of Al dermen. Wiiiiam Lewis and Samuel Raw/, the former a printer, living in Paternoster-row, and the latter a constable, were inditled for that they, on the 16 h of Otiober List, did, contrary to law, assault and imprison George Johnson, who was an apprentice to the said William Lewis, The COMMON SERJ CANT, in a very able speech, addressed the Jury, and represented to them, that it depended on their vertlia, not only whether a person in the City of London, having an appren tice, were at liberty, at any time, without the order of a Magistrate, to send him on board a tender; but whether, as in the present instance, he might send him there, direttly in opposition to the orders of the Magistrate? He then stated, that the Pro secutor had lodged a complaint against his Master before the CHAMBERLAIN ; the consequence of which was, that both parties were reprimanded, and Mr. Lewis was ordered to take the boy home, and treat him better. Instead of doing this, he seized him by the collar the moment he got him out of Court, and, with the assistance of Russel, conveyed him on board a tender, from which place he was sent to the Nore, and confined fur upwards of six weeks. The Recessing* said, he had before advised that this business should be settled, and still wished something to be done, as it was a case between master and servant, which, he thought, more im mediately belonged to the Chamberlain's Court. Mr. KN A PP. as Counsel for the Defendants, stated, that he had every wish to settle the matter without troubling the Court; but that the sum dt mended by the Prosecutor as satisfatlion was in finitely beyond what his clients were able to pay. Captain Thomas Richbald deposed, that, on the 16th of (Moller, the Defendant Russel, and ano ther person, whom he did not recollcil, came on board, and delivered George Johnson to him as a landsman. Russel, whom he knew to be a con stable, told him the boy was an apprentice, and had been sent on board by order of the Loco MAYOR. The same evening he was sent down to the Nure. William Somerville, the Lieutenant on board the tender, gave the same evidence. Mr. Bowden, Clerk in the Chamberlain's Office, London, produced the book, where the complaints of masters and servants were entered, from which it appeared, that on the 16th of Ottober, George Johnson, apprentice, complained of William Lewis, his maaq, for not allowing him a sufficient main tenance. Ihe answer of Lewis to this charge was, that be had allowed him I ss. a week ; that he was idle, and did not attend to his business. The Cu a \tar RiAtel admonished both, and desir ed the boy to be mite attentive, and the master to take hi; apprentice home and treat him better. George Johnson said. that as soon as lie came nut of the Chamberlain's Office, his master collar ed him, and brought him into Guildhall-yard, and asked a Constable of the name of Rigby to take him on board a tender; which Rigby refusing, his mas ter took him down die street, and in a few minutes after met Ruined. and asked him if he vrould take him on board a tender ? Russel said he would, if he gave him into his charge, which lie accordingly did. They then carried him down through bye ways, •aill they got him into Thames-street, where they 'stopped at a public-house and wrote something. They then carried him on board a boat at Tower Wharf, and took him to the tender. Russel chewed the paper he had written to the officer, and he was locked down that night and sent next day to the Nore, where he remained until the 29:h of Novem ber. He was then discharged by order of the Board of Admiralty, he being an apprentice. Edward Rigby, constable, on the 16. h of Otlober. saw Lewis holding the Prosecutor by the collar, in Guildhall-yard. Lewis asked him to take him on board a tender, which he refused, and said it would be better for him to take him home, and give him something to eat. William Hart, father-in-law to the Prosecutor, said, he followed him and the Defendants, and saw them go on board the boat. He remonstrated with them, but Russel said he had a right, and would do it. Eli iha Crab, a Jew constable, deposed, that Rus sel sent him to the tender to receive the twenty shil lings bounty for bringieg a landsman on board, but he did not get it. The RECORDER rammed up the evidence, and the Jury immediately brought in a verdiEl—Gertay. The RICORDEN then, with a Yr.y impressive ad monition, sentenced the Defendants, William Lewis and Samuel Russel, to pay One Shilling Fine, and be Imprisoned Six Weeks in Giltspur-street Compter. Samuel Howard, Ann Robinson, and Ann Robinson, her daughter, were found (ull!, of an assault on Sarah Jones, a child of 12 years of age. It appear ed that the Defendants had met the child on twelfth night, and had beaten her in so violent a manner. that she was confined for some days in consequence of it. The RECORDER relished the judgment until a cause now depending in the Crown Court between the parties should be determined. Mr. John Azov was brought up to be discharged under the late Insolvent An. He bad been charged prior to the Ist of January. 1804, with more than 1,5001. the sum limited by the Ad ; but one cre ditor, who had proved his debt, signed the certifi cate, and discharged his attion. which redaeed the debts against the bankrupt within the compass of the aft. The debt allude.) to had been proved un der the commission, in 1803; but, from some diffi culty which arose in the affairs of the Creditor's house, he had not signed the certificate till after the Ist of January, Ibo 4. Another person had, by mistake, charged Mr. King in execution twice with the same sum, and that mistake being corretcted, re duced his debt in proportion. The RECORDER doubted of his having competent power to order his discharge under theme circum stances. Mr. Baalow, Mr. Snare, and Mr. AGAR, are gued in behalf of the application, but without diet. Mr. King then rose, and wished to knoss, who. ther lie might be permitted to address the Court ? and, being answered in the affirmative, he said, s. That the Gentleman who signed the certificate would have done so within the time mouthed, d • his affairs had not been in an embarrassed state. and vested for some time in the hands of trustees ; but that as soon as a proper person was de puted, who had power to do sn, the certificate was signed. It was hard, he said, that he should suffer for an inability which was out of his power to prev-nt, and stated, that he had persons present who c‘oilil prove the cred tor would have sig..ed the certificate before, had he been enabled to do so. However, if the Recorder was so determined in his opinion, that it could not be shaken, he would not obtrude any further." The Rccoa pea wished Mr. King to state his case to the Court of King's Bench, to learn how the point ought to be construed, and proposed to adjourn the decision till that was done. Mr. King represented the great expence he was put to in various ways, but agreed to submit the point for the opinion of the Court of King's Bmch. There was no opposition on the part of any of the Creditors of Mr. King . DREADFUL FIRE at BOW, in MIDDLESEX. (FARTHER PARTICULARS.) About nine o'clock on Sunday night the fire was first discovered, bursting through the window, of one of the malt-houses on the north end of the ex. tensive range of malt-houses and mills belonging to Messrs. John and Charles Millwood. In a very short time the adjoining mill, and every article ap pertaining to it, were consumed. Soon after the fiat engine began to play, but without the lea,: effea ; and so tremendous were the blaze, and exi_ess:ve the heat, the firemen were obliged to shift their quarter . , and, with much difficulty, got the engine over a wooden bridge, which was conflated with the pre mises : scarcely had this been effeeed, when the whole range of malt houses and mills, together with the out.housel, offices, &c. were in a blaze, and the flour and grain burned with astonishing Eery. In less than three hours, every part of the concerns was consumed to the very foundation, consisting of four flour mills, malt-houses of six and seven floors, containing upwards of 2,000 sacks of flour, and a considerable quantity of wheat, rye, and other grain; two barges, which lay in the River Lea, adjoining the premises, one of them laden with wheat, were consumed : the tide being out, they lay high and dry upon the bank. A strong easterly wind set in the greater part of the time, and the tremendous blaze was carried through the win dows of the malt-house, to the compting house, and the dwelling-house of the miller, Mr. Brook man, which were separate buildings, at the least 20 feet distant from the malt-houses, where the fire first commenced. The compting-house, with all the books, papers, &c. in a few moments fell in ruins, immediately after the dwelling house shared the same fate; but, fortunately, the Miller had time to remove the greater part of his furniture. About eleven o'clock most of the fire engines of London had arrived, and every possible exertion was made by the firemen, assisted by a great number of the inhabitants of Bow, Bromley, Stratford, and the snrroanding neighbourhood, without the least et feet. By this time, the attention was called to a most alanuirg subjee: the flames were fast ap proaching the adjacent distillery, belonging to Messrs. Hatchard, Cr?,o7 Smith, and Co, and in evitable destruffion must have followed, not only to buildings in the neighbourhood, but to a great number of individuals who were on the ,pot, from the 1::e commut.icating with the spirits, of which there was a great quantity in the stores. All hands were now called to this quarter, and, by the most persevering exertions, in constantly playing upon the party wall, and keeping it completely wet, the flames were prevented from spreading to these con cerns. By one o'clock; yesterday morning, the root, walls, &c. of the malt-houses and mills fell in, and not till then was the fite got under, nor were ap prehensions dissipated with respect to the distillery . For several hours after, this mass of rain continued to blaze with great fury, and even late last night some parts of it were still burning. Every fear of further danger, however, was over. The whole place exhibits a most terrific and melancholy scene ; a few tottering walls remain standing ; in the inside of which, wheat, flour, timber, brick, Om are promiscunusly mingled together, in one great heap of confusion ; the large beams, half consumed, lay still smoaking, and scarcely a vestige of the mill. wheels are to be seen ; the iron-work scattered about in various direftions, and where the barges lay, the river is covered with burned planks, corn, &c. to a considerable extent. We have much satisfaction in stating that no per son whatever received the smallest personal injury, except one man, who was bruised in the hand by the falling of a beam. The premises, we understand, were insured, but a great nart of the stock was n The former belonged to Messrs. Hatchard and Co. and were rented from them by Messrs. Millwood The road from Mil.'-end to Bow was cove-ed with people the whole of yesterday, going to view the dreadful devastation which htd been committed. A number of boys and persons of the lower class were occupied in carrying away quantities of the arum and grain in handkerchiefs, bags, &c. which they colleted from among the ruins. It is sup posed a small portion of the stock, which is under neath;may still be saved from amongst the rubbish; hut property to a very considerable amount mutt inevitably have been lost. No certain cause can be assigned for the accident; but it is generally imagined it arose from the heat ing of the wheels in the mill. The premises had been shot up, and no work whatever done from three o'clock that afternoon. Lieutenant Colonel BRICKDALS, of the regiment of Hibernia, in the Spanish service, a native of Spain, and of a respeftable English family, has been arrested is the neighbourhood of Ferrol, and thrown into prison. The only charge Against this Gentle man is, that he had been lately in this country. We have been favoured with the perusal of a let ter from Lisbon, which inclines us to doubt the truth of JERONIi BON A P ART L ' S arrival there from America. This letter says, you will no doubt bear by the Mail that JEkONIt Bor.*? ARTZ and the .soung Person are arrived here, for so it is reported ; however, from all the enquiries I have made on the subjc4.l. I have reason to think that the vasty has originated ftorn Mr. PITT CRSON (Janos+ es father in.law) having arrived on board of a vessel of* im the Tato." r, C~ roar R A great concourse of people, including several gentlemen, assembhrd yesterday at nine o'clock, in - Hyde Park, to witness a running match between Brown, the boot-closer, and the Earl of Dorches ter's Coachman The distance was one hundred yards, and the sum staked twenty guineas. Brown gave his competitor three yards, and the odds were at first seven to four, and bEterly two to one in his favour. He was, h Keever, beaten by the cnachmin, who ran it in thirty seconds, and won the race by nearly a yard and a half. This is the fifth race won by the coachman within a short time, and the first time Brown has been beaten. The c,iac:rman is a short. clumsy figure, about 40 years of age He objeEts to ran a greater distance than 1 00 yards. EXTRACT OF A 'Layne' FROM ANTEM. " Shortly after the present Earl of MaEszaeta e arrived is Iri•lani, he visited the town of Antrim, • which had peen long the residence of his ancestors ; he was joyfully received by all ranks of people, with the most unequivocal marks of reaped and affection.
