Yesterday the Surrey Magistrates assembled at Kingston, for the purpose of transacting a great deal of the county business. Bee:- SAWN BAe%AID, Esq. in the chair. . The SUrgeo4l . ll Report upon the condition of the prisoners in Brixsoc gaol was read, which stated that 94 out of 1119 of those con. Seed were allowed extra food. Mr. H. SumWEll asked why so great a number were elbowed that irdulgence. It was, he observed, extremely unusual to have more than 11 or 12 out of such a number upon the extra Fool list. The keeper of the gaol was called upon to account for this 3ppi. randy unnecessary distribution of food, and he said it had been doonest necessary to give the ind olgence on account of the loss the le_presons bad sus:alined in weight (at the tread-mill). he Rev. Mr. Macaw , in his Report, stated, that four Or five months ago, there unfortunately was considerable insubordination amongst the prisoners, in consequence of the discussions concerning the discipline of the tread-wheel; but that insubordination ter. eiinated in two months, and was now completely at an end. The cond . :et cf the prisoners was, upon the whole, improved. ' Mr. SUMNER.--It strikes. me as extremely improper that sol diers confined in our county gaol should he rut to work on the tteadieheel with felons. I hope, Mr. Bennet (turning to Mr. ferry Acmes) that you will give me your assistance in bringing in a Bi ll tii prevent seeh a practice next Session. I shall propose a different House of Correction for the Military. Mr. Bee NIT did not at all see why any distinction should he made. ' Mr. Su ra steaL,Surely you would not like to see soldiers at the wheel with common felons? Mr. BENNET.—Certainly not, if the soldiers were not felons.— I Atter all, a soldier is no more than one of the people with a red eon: upon him. IA laugh). Mr. DENISON moved for a Committee, to which, if granted, he freended to submit a motion for the extended admission of the friends of those confined for debt ; and also for extending the period of the admission of food into the prison. His next object related to misdemeanants committed before trial—those who were suspected of chlsdemianours, and who could not tied bail. He would have those persons permitted to purchaxe a terrain quantity of fond and beer—in moderation,•of course. The third class comprehended those misdemeanants who acre convicted, but whose cases. so far 'Min being aggravated, were sentenced to the penalty of imprison ment alone ; to those persons it was but fair to give the liberty of "ensuring food and beer in moderation. . :Ai - l'itostres Tu aene wrended the motion. Yr. STEwaaT was of opinion that the third proposition of Mr. penioson would promote the formation of gangs, who would sup port their fellows in prison. Tee motion was negatived. THE LICENSING SYSTEM. Mr. Dana/SOHO said, the present plan of licensing public asauras was the most corrupt and abominable, sad there was reason AO suppose that brewers, distillers, and magistrates, contrived the t%:r.g amongst them. He did not mean to involve the whole Berth Hi the censure, for he knew that many acted with strict impanialii v. 'Me powers of the Magistrates had been interferol with in man -ewes by their brethren, who were interested in the houses for which licences were sought. The emoluments of the Magistrates were ie fact enormous. Another evil was, that the licences erare not red in proportion to the wants of the nelghbourhond, but in Ff°portion to the desire of the Magistrates , to forward t he intereets (hose whose cause they espoused. The houses supported by such interest were the scenes of the most horrible vice. The remedy he prdposed wits, that the Clerk of the Peace should give notice to Me: y Magirtrate of the county of the time and place at which it eras intended to grant licencem. ' • After tome observations from Mr. Breese' and other Magill 'trete', the motion was carried. Mr. BENNET asked Mr. Kenriek, whether the reports spread oaresd reseecting his treatment of a man named Franks, were true Fie would be gnided by the answer iii ths manner of treaiing Mr. &zeta se a hlagistrate. • Mr. IL Somalia objected to the question, and an angry discus. Pon arose. It was finally decided by a shew of hands, that the question should net be put. The Magi-trans, of whom there were I% on the Bench, then ad ;;etireed foe the day.

FATAL ACClORNT.—Wednegtlay last, a lad about lit -rare of age, got into the stable of Grismond -Zsq. of Croft Cottage, Llanllwch, near this town, and in the absence of the servant discovered a powder flask, con- 1 • coining' powder, hi the saddle-room, into which he intro duced a lighted OA. Immediately a tremendous explo sion took place, which drove part of the flask egainst his forehead, and carried away the frontal hone, leaving the brain exposed to view for an inch and a half. The top of the nasal hone and a portion of the temporal bone were fractured and lepreoned, whilst the roof of the orbit was completely driven into the eyes. The left thumb was -completely sever; d from the um at the wrist, and he alto -41.i. eihibit.tl a frightful spectacle of mutilation.

GUILDHALL. Mr. ffereirt. a reipectable inhabitant of St. Olave, Silvenstreet, was yesterday summoned before 31r. Alderman BRIDGE:4, fur re. fueing to pay the pour-rates. The cant was partly beard on Monday. when the defendant stated that he paid the son of Mr. Hancock (the churchwarden) the sum of ?eh. Mr. Hancock's son attended yesterday morning, and admitted that he received 30,.. of Mr. Hewitt, but that sum was the balance of the poor-rates due by Mr. Hewitt-op to Christmas last, and for which Mr. Hewitt had previously had a receipt. Mr. Hewitt denied that assertion. Ile ;mid the whole of the rate due at Christmas. and got a receipt for it on the %eh January ; but it was in April that Mr. Hancock's son borrowed the 30s. of him, and he intended it to go towards the payment of the next quarter's rate. Mr. Hancock still persisted that the 30s. was the balance of the Christmas rate. The Alderman said, that he could hardly diecriminate between I such conflicting statements; but if the 30a. had been given to Mr. Hancock, jun. it seemed to be as a bean, and not as a payment for the ensuing (minter's rate. The weight of evidence, however, was against Mr. Hewitt, and therefore the Alderman ordered him to pay the sum demanded. 111 r. Hewitt declared he would not pay a farthing. Mr. Hancock then applied for and obtained amarrant of distress. Ilarrier Btu:turd, an unfectunate woman of the town, was one of the disonlerlies. Murray, a watchman of St. Bride's, stated, that he had known the prisoner for about four years as a most riotous character, pani• cularly when she was drunk, a circumstance which generally oc. curved every night. At one o'clock yesterday morning she *as kicking up a row at the Drown Dear. in Bride-lane. because she was re used aeltuittanee, and she was carried to the warchhouse by a number of watchmen. She has recently been imprieoned in Dridewell for a similar offeoce, but she was now, if posoible, worse than ever. The Alderman said, that It would be much better for her if she would go into some institution. and endeavour, by sobriety and in. duster, to become an earful member of society. The prisoner said she had no Mends, reid would gladly enter into say institution if the Alderman would get her admitted. The Alderman orthretl her to be taken care of, and he would send her to some place of safety. A poor nor, about nine years of age, named Smith. war brought up. having been toned sleeping in Fleet-market at mideiglit. The poor fellow stated, in answer to some questines frttm the Alderman, that he heel neither father nor mother living, the latter having died about a fortnight ago; previous to that time he lived with his mother in Greenwich, but since her death he wandered on to town. and knowing no person, became a cumplete outcast, friendless send hungry. The Alderman commiserated the boy's situation. aril humanely ordered an officer to take hint to Greenwich and see him safely kilted In the care of the perish (Ames. 110W.STRELT. Yesterday fir. Phelps, the young mot. charged with being con cerned in stealing a gold snulf-box, the property of Sr? Manuel Rodrigues, an ex-eaptain in the Spanish l'onsteutionul Army of Andalusia, was brought tip fur neexaminteion, when no further evidence being produced. and the °dicers having tailed in their endeavours to apprehend the other two persons supposed to be con cerned, the prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Lary Marlin, the girl who has been for a great length of time practising upon the humanity of the public, under Mise pretences of having just come to town and lost her mistress, was this morn. ing brought up, and committed to the House of Coerce-00u fur two months. She said nothing in her defence, nor was in the least &fleeted by the manner in which Mr. Meets, the Magistrate, let tured her upon the improper course of life she was pursuing. lIATTON.GARDEN. MISCONDUCT or • Ilecewer-cmtenstew.--Yestevelm, the driver of the hackney chariot. No. 210, appeared upon a summons to answer the complaint of Mr. Clarke. a gentleman residing in Greek-street, Soho, for greedy abusive language, and also assault. ing him on last Sunday night. Mr. Clarke stated. that, on Surday evening he escorted two young ladies who reside in (hchard-etreet, St. Luke's. and who find been spending the evening at his house. as tar as Hollecnn, to the crach.stand opposite Hatton-garden. There he was about to copse the defendant to convey the ladies to their redder:cc, in his chariot, but as the enactinieu minted ignorant of the street where he was required to drive, lie thous:lu it most prudent not to en trust the females to his cure. On, however, the Waterman inform. ing him of the situation of the street, he followed the complain. set, and drawing up his chariot by . the footway, proposed to take the ladies bon e. On Mr. Clarke e asking Mon his fare, he de. mended halia-erown, and as the distance very little exceeded a mile, he of course refused paying it. 'The coachman then insisted on a shilling for leaving his stand, but as it was his voluntary act, Mr. Clarke refused pawn it. The coachman then collared him. and was proceeding to use him /cry roughly, when the watchman it:teetered. and on his number being taken, he was net at liberty. The young ladies who were in attendance fully corroborated Mr. Clarke's statement. The defendant, when called upon to explain this outrageous con duct, stated, that his reason for demanding half-a-erown was, that the fare was Is. tel. and that he had a right to charge a shilling back-carriage, as his course must necessarily be through Old -street, St. Luke's, w hirls is not paved. The Magistrate took particular pains to inquire into the accuracy of this statement, when he was informed that the regular carriage. way was all paved to the street nanitd, and that the coachman must have designedly gone into Old-street, in order to have the opportu nity of baek-carriage In coneidenition of the general good conduct of the coachman. the illegietrite did not inflict any penalty under the Hackney Coach Act; but ordered him to find bail for the assault. MARY-LA-BONE t?FFICE: Swogarwo DErrIATITY.—On Monday evening, Mrs. Eliza. beth latmley, a woman of very respectable appearance, appeared before Jr. litAwcixsow, Esq. to prefer a charge against her son, Jonas, aged fourteen years, fur robbing her continually of sums of money. Mrs. Lawdey stated, tbat she has been a widow about two years end sthalf, and has been left to protect six children ; her husband was a master taylor, and since his decease, she has carried on the bu.iness, with the assistance of her eldest son. The prisoner was employed to buy trimmings, for which she always gave him the money, which he (the prisoner) had put to his mother's account, and carefully brought her bade the change to a farthing ; at last a bill was brought to witness, amounting to hi. This created suspicion on the parr of Janie" her eldest sin, and on investigating the prisoner's conduct, he absconded, at which time lie borrowed in his mother's rame W. from a friend of her's to take up a bill ; after a lapse of time he returned, and, hoping that lie would refrain front such conduct in future, was forgiven. The prisoner felt unhappy and h2gged to be sent to sea, when witness procured him • shit), from which he rsn away . , afterwards another, when I tie did the same, on which mouton he again borrowed six pounds from another friend, and which money. it was found, he expended, between the Wednesday and Saturday. Witness still endeavoured to reclaim him, but it appeared useless, for on Mon day she placed eight sovereigns In her drawer, for the purpose of taking up a bill coming due, hut on looking into the drawer, found the sovereigns gone. She immediately despatched her eldest son James, who found the prisoner in the Black llorse-yard, Totten ham-court-road. On searching hint, he found the eight missing sovereigns, on which he was brought to this office. She implored the woethy Magistrate fur advice how to proceed as it appeared there was no chance of reclaiming him, and hoped ' that if it lay in the power of the worthy Magistrate, he would put the boy into any institutum he might think proper. Mr. RAWLINS/OS asked the prisoner if he had anything to say ? Prisoner—l was waiting to put the money back in the drawer. Mr. Raw LAY 9024—H0w came you to take the eight sovereigns? Prisoner—l don't know. The prisoner was then ordered to be committed to the House of Correcuon, and there to be kept in soliwry confinement for a week, until something might be done for him in some institution. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday, Peter Evans, a plodding-looking maker of ditches, and Jfiu• t.fizubeth Smith 'has, fl. ewster, alias several other names appeared before Mr. Wit r r, it i IJrnier to present, and the latter w rebut, a cmitplaint, founded on the following simple facts:— Peter, having received a comfortable sum of wages. determined to make a night of Monday evening, drank himself into a glorious state, rolled into the streets, met Miss Elizabeth Smith, became charmed with her tender attention, submitted himself unto her solicitous guidance, and, on waking yesterday morning, found hin:stlf in a strange house, in strange company ; and on searching farther found that he could not find a sovereign and six shillings. ' which hay overnight in a snug canvas bag at the bottom of the left pocket of his leathern breeches. Wishing to make the best of a bad bargain, " I olfered her heat," said Peter, `• if she'd only give me the second hear. This she wi eat agre eable to do, but de sired tulle look under the bend for it. Well, and so oi did, and it want there ; but when I woake, I seed Ihr stuff a suntinat into her mouth, as of thought to be the mrpley, but, by Gob, wltrn of searched her mouth it wa'ut there, wherever the devil it went to; so then, oi took her out and charged the watch wi her, and that's all." Peter's statement having been supported by fur th er evidence, the Magistrate called on Miss Smith, alias /to. for her d. Miss Smith thought proper to utter nu more than the usual pro testations of injured inflect:tee. Committed fur trial. LA MRETH.ST R E ET. Yesterday morning, shortly after Mr ' I I aupw;t: IC had taken his seat on the bench, &respectable-looking woman applied to hint, and stated, that her nephew. a led about nine years of age, whose father was at present ermined in prison fur a breach of the Revenue Laws, had been left wadi" the protection of Mr. 514lowry, a person hold ing a respectable situation from the Carron Wharf Company, East SmithEold, and who resides is Mile-Lnd Old Town ; thia yester day morning the boy's clothes accidentally caught fin', ai it before any assistance could be afforded hint, he was so much harmed about the shoulders and chest, that it was thought advisable to take him to the hospital. He was accordingly removed to the London Hos pital, and on oae of the surgeotui of that institution examining his body, lie found that, together with the injuries he had received 00111 the effects of the accident, a part of his back and hips was in a ' enudful state, as if from the effects of corporeal punish.nieot. This naturally led him to ask 4he poor sufferer some miestions. the answers to which were, that the punishment was inflicted by his protector. The surgeon thinking that it was a case that required iliagisterialinvestigation, advised her to apply to this office ifattrivrtica despatched Miller, the chief constable, to the THE ,BRITISH PRESS. hospital, to inquire MOM particularly into the ease. Ile returned in a short time to the office, and stated, that on examinirg the boy ha found him In the state above described, and that the surgeon who attended him remarked to him (Mina), that if the in.iuries he had sustained had been indicted on any other p art of the body, it would inevitably have caused his death; us it was he considered him in imminent danger. A warrant was immediately granted against Mr. 311Towry, and in lets than an hour he was brought to the office. Mr. II AA DR' IC X , after m a ting the ETWUS nature of the charge against him, held him to bail in his own recognisance, to appear, in the event of anything happening the boy. or if the parish or the bur's friends wished to indict him, at the Sessions. dra•so l x 6.--Barary Liptsam. who hat been in custody foe some time upon a charge of supplying the didirtnt Tenders of bate coin with that article, was brought up for further examination ; but the necessary witnesses not being in tett-n(lBnm, he was remanded till Friday neat. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock. Mr. Seta: Jim and • re spectable Jury assembled at the Coach and Homes, Belton-stmt, St. Giles's. to ingetre into the rause of the deaths of John Bray, who was alleged to have been starved to death, and William Cat terwell, and John Scully. The ease of the first-named deceased was first entered into; It was one of the unfortunate infant children taken from a house in Monmouth-court, where it was with • number of other children found in a deplorable Neve, in the averments of a woman named t'itherine Irvin, who is now undergoing her sentence of imprison ment in the Howse of Correction. Mr. Biggs, Assistant Overseer, said the case was brought for ward in order that, as the child (although every possible care and attention hail been paid to it) bad died in the workhouse, the pub lic might he in full possession of every ciresuretata.r and fact con nected with the treatment of it, that blame might not be supposed to rest up any of the parochial authorities. The l'hurt hwardens of the parish sere present. Mr. Joseph Burgess, resident apothecary to the parish of St. Giles'', stated, that some time since the deceased child, which WAS five months old, was, by the Overseer', and other parochial ethos cities, 'eucued from the care of a woman named Irvin, who is now in the Douse of Corriction. In the mom where it was found there were teieral other children, all of whom were in every deplorable state ; they were, by order of the Magistrate+, sent to the work. house. This child, heirg ag, young, was placed in the nursery. and, in a very short time, gradually became well : it was then removed to another past of the house, and there its onod state ol health gra dual:). decreased. At la.t its bowels became all cted, and, indeed. in a very short time, was afflicted with a complaint called the diarrlues, which, on Saturday last, caused its death. About three weeks since the child's father came to the workhouse, and tank it aver, but in the evening of the same day he brought the child back, and said it was starved to death. When first brought into the house, it was in a very shacking state ; it had a blister upan its chest, ahich bad been much neglected, as a sore front the blister was generating into an ulcer. and it was otherwise in a very filthy state. The Overseers had directed this inquiry. The child, it was believed, wan illei:ltimate. A Juror sated if the father's address was known ? One of the churchwardens (Mr. Backhoffnert said it was not ; the child had beet placed with the woman as • kind of day. boarder. Mr. Borges* said be did not attribute the child's death to any Illness caused by the woman's ill-treatment, as it had recovered from that, neither did he think the father's taking it away bad caused any bad effect, as the child being at the time teething, the complaint might be the result of natural causes. A Juror thought nn the child's being again received into the workhouse, inquiry should have been made as to the father's abode. Mr. Largess in reply to a Juror said, no change for the mole hail taken place since the father had returned the child. He had not since made any inquiries shout it. The Coroner said if it could be proved the woman's ill-treatment had in any way accelerated the child's death, she WAR still liable, although she now was undergoing imprisonment, to be indicted for capital Aimee. Juror to Mr. Burgess—What was the primary cause of the child's illness ? Mr. Burgess—Why, I really think the woman's treatment ; but it Tee'Verei front that, and died from the subsequent illness. A letter from the father to the keeper of the workhouse, desiring h:m to give the child to • young woman, was here prraluced and read. fbe woman's name was Bexley, residing in Castle-street, Ox ford-market. Mary Ilnes. the nurse, said the child died from the causes de scribed by the first witness. While under her care it had every thing that was nourishing ; plenty of every requisite ter children was allowed and administered to them. It was here stated that the father's address was known ; come. sent{ y a beadle was dispatched to find him. In the intetim the Jury, by direction of the Overamrs, were conducted over the work house, and certainly, for cleanliness, comfort, and indeed general attention, the arrangements could not be exceeded by any other establishment of the kind in the country. Mary Donoughee, ar.ether nurse, was called, who proved the state of the child when first brought into the workhouse, to be that described by the first witness. The Coroner then addressed the Jury, and said if the father was present, in all probability he could give but little information re speetittg the state of the deceased, as it appeared the infant had only been out of the workhouse half an hour before it was brought in again. The Me, however, was a subject for their consideration. The.lury. after a shnrt consultation, returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God." An inquisition was then held on the body of Joh+ Sadly, aged U. who was brought into the workhouse on Friday night last; be remained perfectly calm and conversant during the greater pert of Saturday, although a strait-jacket had been previously pat spew him. It appeared. that before _he was taken to the work house, he had been beating his wife in a most shocking manner, being Relied with a paroxysm of madness. A man named Dorn ma proved that he saw the deceased with a carving-knife in his band, and before he could get to him, he cut his throat. The deceased died in less than half an hour.—Verdict.—/manify. In the ease of liatterwdl, a verdict of—Died fly the vieitatioa of God, was recorded. Yesterday an inquest was held at the Pavilion Chnp-house, Newcastle street, Strand, before Mr. thous, I)eputy Coroner for Middlesex, on the hotly of John Stevens, working engraver. 111 r. Patrick 31acdonald, of Buckingham-street, Strand, surgeon, deposed, that he attended the deceased about half-past eleven o'clock on Monday, at Messrs. Neale and Stalker's work-room in Newcastle-street. He found him alive, but insensible. From the km state of his pulse and coldness about his extretnitivs, he con ceived him to be labouring under a serious apoplexy. Witness opened a vein in the right arm, but it hied very little. He remained in the same lethargic state until two o'clock, when he died. lle ' has no hesitation in saving, he died in a fit of apoplexy. Ebenezer Stalker, sworn, said the deceased was in his employ, anti was about years of age ;ke generally enjoyed good health. Witness was in the work-room, at half past ten o'clock, when he complained of a giddiness in Isis head, which increased, and after wards he became quite insensible ; in that state he remained, and never recovered. H'i,en the deceased came to his work in the morning, he complained of a soreness in his month, and partly lost the use of his speech. He was a very steady and industrious man, and bore an excellent character. The Jury, without hesitation, delivered their verdict.—" Died by the Visitation of Cod." ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. There is now In the workhouse of St. Hartin's-in-the.Fields, a young man. who has more than once lately attempted the dreadful act of self-destruction, anti who is now lying in a precarious state in con•quence of the last attempt of this kind, which took place on Saturday. His story is a peculiarly distressing one. He is now about 3d years of age, and was bred to the wine trade, in which he some few years ago commenced business on his own account, with good prospect of success. He married, and fur some time {sited happily, and his business was prosperous, but he met with loans, become a bankrupt, and was driven upon the world without a shilling. lie, however, procured a situation as a clerk to a wine merchant, where he remained a considerable time, but for the last few months he has been without employment, and SlitliJitt destitute of the means of subsistence. To add to his misery his wife de serted him, and went to live with a man in Jermyu-street, St. James's, where she still resides. A short time ago the unforturttte husband made an attempt upon his own life, which was frustrated, and on Saturday last he went to the Black-horse pt.blic.liouste in Osendon-street, Haymarket, where he wrote a letter to his wife, informing her that his miseries could no longer he borne, and that no earthly power should then prevent him from inga puttin g ref i i n , ge from execution rs th fo e n d u es n i e gn in v. th l: e ic gr li ahveehadilioenadit added, cha r f he se h e a k i procured that which would very speedily end his sufferings; in short, hcforr she gut the letter he should, in all probability, be no more, and if she chose she might have an oppottunity of seeing the corpse of her husband, if she came to the house front whence he wrote. The wife, upon receiving this note, went to the Black Mcrae, where she found her husband extremely ill, the drug which he had taker. having betrun to operate rattier powerfully. listing, with great eistlneve, ir.formed the people of the house of the con. term el the letter, with a gratuitous remark of her own, that she I knew he had no real intention of destroying himself, she went away, leaving them to do the best they could with the unfortunate man. lifedical assistance was procured, and lie was conveyed to the tworklinusc of St. Martin's, where he confessed that he had pnrchased small quiistities of opium at different shops, until he had procnred what he thought would be sufficient to destroy life, anti he had taken the whole of it. Powerful emetics, and other remedies usual in stash cases were administered. and during the whole of Saturday sight the medical attendants remained with him, the greatest difficulty being experienced in preventing hhn from falling into a sleep, which must have been the sleep of death. The skill and •ttensioo of these gentlemen succeeded finally in 1 saving his life for the protest, but lie is, as we before stated, still i extremely ill. His affltetionate wife has carefully abstaiaed from 1 obtreding herself into his presence. The Ohl Raney Sessions commence on Thursday week.

Q'Neal is known in the P.C. from his fight with Deaf Davis—a turn up with the brickntal.ing Cribb, and within three days of his meeting the pea-soup Gardener at Lewes. lie then beat Birmingham Hall (who had conquered a Sampson), David Hudson, and Gaynor, and received forfeit twice from Aby Belaseo. In fact, he has never been beaten. Such are the qualifications of the men, and the opinions of the partisans of both arc so equal, t hat . betting for some time bas been even, with slight variations at trifling odds ; and the match altogether for weight, age, and science, was thought so equal that the Fancy sported considerable sums on the event. Early this morning all were on the move to Virginia Water, 21 miles on the Basingstoke road, and on the verge of the Royal Park, Windsor. The Commissary and troop arrived early, and soon fixed upon a spot about a toile, from Virginia Water, on the road to Cobham, near to a bridge named after the Hero of Waterloo, which Bill thought mullions and here, in a field near the road side, on a farm called Trotaworth, be pitched his tent.

In going over a hedge be missed his hold, and in falling turned his gun (which he hail placed on the hedge, with the muzzle towards the next field) in the di rectiun of his body, and it immediately exploded, lodging the contents in his side. The piece was not cocked when placed on the hedge, but probably became so in turning over. The poor fellow lived but two hours after the acci dent. Ile was a most excellent servant, esteemed by his master, and beloved by all the neighbourhood.—Sherburne Mercury. Early on the morning of Tuesday last, five of the prison ers in Stirling gaol effected their escape by breaking through the walls of their cells. The scheme seems first to have been planned by two young fellows who were con fined in a room together. It would appear they first wrenched 011ie upper bar of their grate, with the assist ance of which they were enabled to make a passage in the wall behind the fire-place, and by that means got into the adjoining cell, where the other three prisoners were con fined. Herr, liow:•ver, they must have had a most lobo riona task to overcome, as the wall was throe feet thick, and they had no instrument to assist them except the trifling one mentioned. On getting through the wall they got hold of an immense iron bar, used for chaining con demned criminals, with which they. wrenched the strong bars which secure the maim windows, and from thence they descended into the street by means of a rope formed of their blankets. A reward has been offered by the magi*. ;rates for their opprchension.—Cateduniaa Mercury. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING, 1824. MONDAY. OCT. 18.
