The meeting commenced .on Wednesday, and there were ordinaries and as semblies at Cleup's and Andersom's, alternately, during the remainder of the week. Among the company present were, Major-General the Marquis • , ,t Huntly, the Earl of Erroll, Lieutenant-General ::lay, the lion. Mr. Maule, M. P. the Hon.

A Concert on I.'riday by the Band of the East Suffolk Militia, under the patronage of the Marquis of Huntly, was exceedingly well attended. There was also a Concert on Saturday, by Mr. Stabilini.

PRESIDENT—There are, in mess corporals towns in England, certain customs annually kept, in cornmymorAtion of their charters ; or, as the inhabit: ants express, by which their charters are held. Thus, in London, I am told, they chop sticks ; at Coventry, follow a wh—. (a naked lady i mean) ; at Leices- , ter, they plough the streets, fl,g some, and hunt the cat ; at Dartmouth, they hunt the pig ; at Worces ter, bring in Bedwardine fair ; at Ludlow, pull the long rope ; and, at Kidderminster, pett the bailiff. nom this last ceremony I am just returned; and can, therefore give you a pretty accurate acc.sunt ; and, perhaps, induce some of your society to furnish others equally curious. Sept. 29.—Morning fine ; ushered in by the ring ing of hells, drums beating, arul the waits (Corpora bon band), going in procession round the town. 10 .clock.—Sever al waggon and ass loads of cab bage-stalks and apples arrived, and slid. 1 1 o/c/Q(4.—Al' obstrudions removed from the Market-place, and the shop-windows shut; a great mob assembled in the streets ; Corporation and - mu• sic, with the principal male inhabitants, their friends, assemble at the Town-hall; all the neighbouring windows thronged si:ith 12 o'clock.—St. Anthony begins ringing; the mob range themselves under their respedive leaders, and throw the eabbaxe-stelkkjar, an haw*, at each other ; in the mean time, laying contributions on every stranger that passes. 1 e'dyri.—Bell ceases ; musilians strike up ; the old bailiff comes to the 'Town-liall window, bow', and introduces the new bailiff to the 1 roils. The Corporation now go to dilater ; tine mob disperse, and prepare for the amusements t.: the ternoon.

'e been discovered, exaftly answers the description of Col will) had applied, under a fictitious name, to one of the principal Banking-houses in that city, on the sth instant, requesting that they would purchase stock for him in the S per cents. to the amount of about 12001.—t0 cover which he deposited the lowing property in their hands: Gloucester, and other Country Nntes, payable in London— L ' B32 10 0 Bank of England N,,te. 195 0 0 Gold 3J IC 0 Total L.lOBl 2 0 This application being prior to the ides of Colwill having absconded, or the publication of the adver tisement offering a reward of 1001. for apprehending him, the only suspicion which arose in the minds of the gentlemen at Edinburgh, was from the perusal of the paragraph in The Gloucester Jeurnal, which first stated Cotwill's being missing, with the extra ordinary circumstances attend ng that event. The person who had made the application, and produced so many Gloucester bills at that remote quarter, was, therefore, vet y naturally conjectured to be im plicated in the supposed robbery and murder ; and it is very singular, that Colwill should him self be the first vietim to the snare which he had infamously intended should fall to the lot of some innocent individuals. .1 . he above p4(!icili tr were very properly communicated b the Gentle men of the Bank in question, to the Procurator Fiscal, who diredet a constant eye to be kept upon the stranger, until intelligence respetting him could be obtained hum Gloucester. The necessary infor mation has accordingly been communicated; and, tinder the watchful care of sl vigilant a police, we have no doubt the suspetted person will be kept in view till the requisite particulars reach their destination.

Before THOMAS EV API c Esq. C4airman, and a full flinch of AV:resat' dr Peace far that County. Reirtt Knight, WR, inilieted for an assault upon Charles Bull, on the Ist Jule le:t. The Prosecntor ;s groom to M.; Brogden, of Clapham (at whose in stigation the prosecution was sustained), and the De fendant was one of the colleelors of tolls at the Circus Turnpike-gate, St. George's-fields. It ap peal-et:l, that on the morning of the day laid in :he indictment, Mr. Brogden, .:ith the Prosecutor, rode into town from Clapham, through the Circus Turn, pike -gate, when the latter paid the toll, and receiv ed, as he supposed, the usual ticket. On their re turn, Mr. B. passed through some length of way, before his servant, when the latter was stopped by the Defendant, who demanded his ticket ; which being produced, he insisted it was a wrong one, and that the toll should he paid ; when the Prosecutor declaring it was the same he had received in the morning, whether tight or wrong ; the Defendant, without further ceremony, cried out D—n him, unhorse him ;" and, at the same instant, while he took the groom by one leg, hove him over to another person, who has since absconded, who dragged him by the other, till they succeeded in bringing him to the ground. Mr. Brogden having heard the manner in which I his servant was treated, returned to the gate, and found the Defendant and the other man, in the act of unhorsing him ; he swore positively he had seen the servant in the morning receive the ticket, and put it into his waistcoat pocket ; he observed the Defendant and the other man look very hard at him, as he passed, and he supposed, it was because he had been obliged to complain to the Trustees, and to have one of the gate•keepers dismissed, some time before, for misconduct. Mr. Maoism, for the Defendant, in an able ad dress to the Jury, contended, that the Defendant had a right to stop the passage of the Prosecutor , until he should pay the toll, or produce a regular: ticket ; and what he had done, was in execution of his duty. ' The Jury, after a short consultation, found the Defendant Girilefr- Mr. Brogden immediately addressed the Court, and as,ured the CIIAII:StA S, that he by no means wiched a severe punishment to be infliCled upon the Defendant ; on the contrary, he requested it might be as lenient as possible. His only wish was to pre vent, if possible, such praetices in future. The CHAIR SI AN, in passing sentence upon the Defendant, observed, that he was sorry to find si milar complaints against tu: npikeigate-keepers, al most every day, but particularly against those at the Circusepte; he then declared the sentence of the Court to be, that he should be imprisoned for the space of fourteen days, in the county gaol, and pay a fine of one shilling ; adding, that although the kind interference of Mr. brogderi, in his behalf, had had its due weight with the Court, yet the Bench felt it their duty to infliCt this punishment on him, as an esample to others, and to deter him and them from similar offences. Tram' Junes was indicted for an assault upon John Dent, on the 13th of February last. Tne Defendant had been the tenant of the Prose cutor, and the latter wished to get shut of him, when a dispute arose, relative to the payment of the rent, and receipt. The Defendant's wife interfered ;I en altercation between the pasties consequently ensued, and the assault was given. He was found Gailty, but a compromise taking place, he was bound over to appear, and receisre the future sentence of the o Court, as is usual in such cases. earned E--Tua was indicted for an assault upon Mary, the wife of Thomas, on the 17th of July last. The Defendant was a hair-dresser, and lodged in the Prosecutor's house. in Winchester -street. in the Borough, but being rather irregular in his hours, he got notice to quit, and, es in the former case, a dispute arising rela tive to the rent, and the detention of his trunk, it appeared on the part of the prosecution, that he seized the mop with which the Prosecutrix was cleaning out the apartment formerly occupied by the Defendant, and struck her in the side with it ; he then threw her down the stairs, and beat and abused her in such a manner, as to cause her to be confined, and unable to do any thing for herself and family for six weeks. The Witnesses for the Defendant stated, that, on the contrary, the Prose cutrix was the first and sole aggressor, and threw the Defendant down the stairs. The CH AIRMAN, in summing up the evidence to the Jury, lamented exceedingly, that so much foul perjury should be committed in cases of assaults. The Jury found the Defendant—Cerny ; and, soon after, the parties havin compromised the mat ter, he entered into the usu al recognizance, and was discharged. POLICE. NAlmon-Nnust. Join Birek was brought before Sir %Vitt'A is LEiolirom, charged by a young girl, who herd with him as servant, with making an assault on her, and giving her ahl ick eye. The girl stated, tiro the Prisoner, at present, carried on no business ; but lived on the earnings of hi, wife, who kept a mil liner's shop, in Bishopsgate-'treet. On Thursday last, she was called up stairs by her mistress, and sent of a messofe,; ht:: before had got out of •he house, sLe be.tia her mi,tr , si steam, ,not s oi her toga 3i.;313. On returning, s..e saw the Prisoner besting his $..4. in the niost violent manner, and tearing her clothes i:s pieees ; and, according to the request of her mistress, she endeavoured to separate them. The Prisoner instantly struck her a violent blow in the eye, which niade it quite black, and, repeating it several times, made her nose bleed, and completely stunned her. inese taets being corro borated by a young woman, who was an apprentice in the house, and the Prisoner not attempting to contradift them, Sir ‘VILLIAS Laionros com mitted him, until he should find bail to appear at the nest Sessions. 12,c6crti lion* was put to the bar, charged with rzal.ng a quantity of lead, the p-giverty of Messrs. Painter and Co. builders. It appeared, that the Prisoner was carter to Mesas. Punter and Co. who, laving suspe:ted :not of stealing some lead, had his )dgmgs searched. The lead could not be found , there; bat several bottles of wine were foetid, of ;:s e. which the Prisoner could not give a 1 , .• court.

Palmer and Co. thought it 4 duty they owed to the public, to bring him before a Magistrate. • A Professional Gentleman attended on the part of the Prisoner, and urged that nothing criminal could be proved against him, as it was always decided. that confessions. with the hope of mercy held out, were never heard by Courts of Justice. Sir WILLIAM I.4CIONTOK said, he was convince , ' of the Prisoner's guilt, and thought it much better that he should be sett to serve His Majesty, than allowed to remain in London. H•TTON-GLlltien. Alstitins S•idLary was brought before the SITIMIIM M GIST RATE, Ch.irged by Mr. Simpson. hard-wars merchant, in Coppice-lane. Clerkenwell, with steal ing nine dozen pa:r of snuffers, his property. It appeared, that the Prisoner had worked with Mr. Simpson, and, on Tuesday morning last, was observed by an apprentice boy, who was opening the warehouse windows, to go into a back part of the shop. where he :tad no business. Several arti cles being missed, this attached some suspicion on the Prisoner, who, being charged, at length con- • lesscd the fa& The pawnbroke to whom be sold the deposed, that the Prisoner told him he had. come from Birmingham, and not finding busitelei answer, wanted to raise a little money. The snuffers were all produced. and Mr..Sirp• son swore to the wrappers which wore about some of the parcels, they being marked in his own haled, writing. This evidence being so clear, the Maotsreaxe committed him fully, to take his trial at thes nett 01,1 Bailey Sessions. ouiLDMIALL... A Jew was charged by two young gentlemen with uttering counterfeit silver. They had jollee chased peaches from him, and offered him silver i , which he refaced, and gave them change, whi-* they conceived to be counterfeits. Mr. Powell, Solicitor to the Mint, attended, and examined the shillings, which proved to be counter feits. The Prisoner was T.:cognised to be an old ofender, And was fully committed for trial. Several housekeepers in the Ward of Castle Ber nard, were sumratmed for refusing to pay the tax upon the Defence Dili, which was discretimar i z a l the assessor. Some complained they were as s i two guineas, whilst their neighbours only paid 00.
