MANSION-HOUSE. ----- Yesterday Lees, the beadle of ('ooper's.hall, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, cloned with hawing given his wife a desperate beating. The poor woman, who is the mother of a great many children, and advioiced in years, was fool enough seven months ago to marry the beadle, who had an eye to her little property, and ',ever Lt her rest until he became master of it, and even then her rest was of but 'Lott duration, her husband having determined to disturb it in a less agreeable manner. They were monied on Saturday, but he chose to repose that night and every succeeding night in a cot by himself. and to leave his poor wife, , VllO observed a change in his conduct the moment after the ceremony was performed, to shift fur hi-Faction the chairs or the floor. Ile took care also to go to bed punctually drunk every night. and had a fancy for a bunting candle so close to his era as to endanger the house. Ilia wife, when else saw'hiin in such a condition, was in the habit of taking away the candle, rot wishing to share the danger of being burned with so worthless a fellow. This Intern:mere with his RULhOtitr provoked him to the most brand fury. On the Tuesday after their marriage he told her to walk off with herself. as she was ugly, and old, and useless. lie swore that if she did not pack off he'd make her a corpse. tedie was willing enough to go upon condition of the re storation of her property, but he refused to give her sixpence, and thenceforward wreaked both his drunken and sober vengeance upon her without mercy. Iler friends entreated her to leave hint, hut she remained under his protection until it proved almost tatal to her. I.ast Tuesday hight he went home full of liquor, and being also full of valour, he struck the pour woman with his list on the shoulder and the jaw. Ile then seized a sort of chisel or knife, and 'trail her with it on the back of the head. She fell shorn in a stale of insensibility ; blood poured front the wound, upon seeing which the beadle walked off to his bed, satisfied with the result of his ea tenons. The neighboorhood however was distuibed by his vio- lence, ang.he was taken to prison, and his wife put under the ears of a surgeon. Mr. Humphries, the Sol:etas., appeared for the purpose, as he stated, of conciliating the parties, or on behalf of the husband, to consent to a separation and maintenance for his wife. The LORD Mikyoß; in the strongest terms, censured the brutal aril annually conduct of the braille, and refused to let the prisoner go at large until the surgeon had declared the pour woman out of dsnger. Mr. Saundeit. the wow-bailiff, waited upon the Loan MAYOR to report to and 1 receive instructions from his Lordship with respect to the obstruct4is in the river Thames, alluded to in our report of yesterday. lie state;l thatknany parts of the rivet were in the condition re. presented in the public papers. and the patties had in consequence Nom served w ith notices in the tint ir.stance to abate the nuisance. There had certainly been a partial abatement, but now the ob structions were as bad as ever. The difficulty of providing.agairst so extensive and so serious an annotiance was twasiderdble. In fact he believed that the evil could be only remelted by the removal of the mooring chains altogether. So long as those chairs were per mitted to remain, the bargemen awl lightercoen would mast ea mealy fasten their craft to them. The Loan 11 soros said, it was absolutely necessary to clear away the obstructions fur the sake of a free navigation. as well as for the security of those who wer.t up or down the river in boats. Ilia Lordship then directed that the &wen:stances should be re ported to the Navigation Committee, who would doubtless take immediate steps for the removal of the chins. GUILDHALL. A decent.looking old man, named Won Si,omer applied to the Sitting 3lagistrate, Mr. Alderman Awst.EY, yesterday, for his advice and assistance, under the following circumstances : Ile had, he said, pledged a bible at the shop of Mr. Bashi, pawnbroker, No. 41.„ Aldersgate-street, fir 10s. on the 2d of Sep tember 11123, and he now produced the duplicate to that effect : on the 4th of September last, two days after it was out of time, as it its called, he nulled to redeem it, offering the principal and interest; but he was then told that it was forfeited and had been sold. He had, however, subsequently seen it exposed for sale in Mr. Baylis's shop window. marked price 2!. 2s. On this he renewed his appll cation to bo allowed to redeem it, but that had been refused, Air. Baylis standing strictly to the Act of Parliament, that the pledge was forfeited. rid nut bring a pledge above Ins. he was not obliged to Enid it for pubic sale by auction. Mr. Alderunm Artstzy said this was tiertainly a hard case, but he feared !oat under the Act of Parliament, the pledge not being above ;Us., and out of time. if the pas °banker persisted, he, as a tutld not interfere. 3 r. Beresford (the chief clerk) said, he did AM doubt but that the complainant might recover in an sedge of trover. Indeed, a decision to that effect had lately taken place in the Court of King's Berth. Mr. Alderman A wsxt r —That may be all very right, but' this pout fellow cannot afford to bring an action of nova. The Alderman then directed Brand, the tnarshaiman to seccen pany the poor man us Mr. Baylis , and urge the peculi a r hardship of the case. • BOW4T BEET. Ireorretous Fnatrer.—The publication of the following facts will, perhatis, serve to guard the public spinet the maeleinations of a fellow who is going about practising fraudulent tricks, as it would seem, very successfully. A master tailor applied to the Magistrate on Tuesday, for a warrant to apprehend a young wan, who he said had defrauded him in a very curious manner. borne time ago, a young man (nut the one against whom he now applied) came to him, and requested to have a quantity of clothes made ilimerliately, as he was about to enter upon a h i gh ly respectable tuation,, and he should want a complete ward . The applicant of cosine expressed his wining rose to execute any order that might be furnished to him; but ob. served, that as credit was required, it would be necessary that he should have a respectable reference as to his character and the truth of his representations. lie eery readily gave a reference, and it was to the person fur whose apprehension he now wished to have a warrant. That individual was Sound by the applicant, living in apparently good style, at a very respectable house; but when the subject sit the visit was made known, lie declared he could not, as a man of reapectability and honour, give a recommendation to the young man, because be really knew very little of him, and that little wall nut of the most favourable kind. The applicant, upon receiving this answer, Mused to execute the order of the other young wan, and there that affair ended fur the time. Shortly after, however, the referee himself called upon the applicant, and said he wanted some clothes, and gave a consiskrable order. He stated that he teas a lieutenant in the navy, and also held a situation in the Admiralty ; and to convince applicant that he had nothing to fear, he would give him Si. in advance. That sum he immediately paid down, and all, sp.:May as possible the clothes were made and sent home. From that time to the present the applicant had never seen this Pieta' and gentlemanly customer. lie, very soon after obtain. ing the goods, left ids lodgings. acct, upon inquiry, the applicant ascertained that he was not a lieutenant in the Davy, and that so far from having ever held a situation iu the Admiralty, h?was not even I: noun there. lie had ever sites been endeavouring to trace the fellow, and at length had that day ascertained where he was to be found ; and if the utsgistrute thought lit to grant a warrant, he could be easily taken. The Magistrate, however, said, that he could take no cognizance of the matter. fly takir.g a portion of money in advance, he had rustle it to all intents and purposes a matter of civil contract, and his only remedy was by suing hint for the debt. Ti.t tailor dtpartcd .with a shake of the head, which seemed to denote that he thought that the remedy pointed out would, if pursued, be worse than none at all.

The complainant stated. that on Friday last he took his round on business in his horse and cart, and as be wail returning home he was overtaken by the defendant, who was also in a similar vehicle, as he warn passing over Stamford Ilridge. The defendant drove against the shahs of his cart and nearly upset him, at the same time calling him vile names.

Mr. Mears, I think Lou have nothing to fear ; it is all imaginary, and I advise you to snore neigisbourly.. 1 1 The ease was dimmed. Yesterday a remarkably deeent.looking woman, named Margaret Jones, the wife of a soldier, applied to E TN auLaxa, Esq. for relief (or herself and three very young children. Mr. M81111(LAND desired her to go to the °Tenzer, and she would get relief. The poor woman stated she had alreadyglone so. and she had obtained from him , twice within the last forunght, the sum of four shillings. Its bad refused her this morning further relief; and that being the ease, as her husband wes a native of Newcastle, in Car marthenshire, she wished to be couveved there, her husband bung unable, fmm his moving about with his regiment, to support her and her children. _ . Mr..MAIICLAWD directed a summons to be served on the over seer to attend and account why he refused to maintain them. Pace, the officer, went with it to the overseer, who is a Faker, named Bowers, living us Tothill.atreet, Westminster. Be soon afterwards returned, and stated to the Magistrate, that when he wen he went to Mr. Bowers's house he saw Mrs. Bowers, to whom he mentioned the contents of the summons. On his doing so she told I she knew nothing about the matter, would not receive the summon, and finally slapped the door in his face, and with so mach violence, that he was near losing a part of his fingers. He, hornet. determined to do his duty, put the summons under the door. which was the beet service he could then make. Mr. Mem ilea:en, upon hearing this, directed the beadle of the parish to take the Kaman and chlyren at once to the workhouse, and give them relief. The bridle took them with him, but he soon returned, and said Mr. Bowers would not allow them to be admitted, and desired him to take them back to the police office. Mr. Bowers at this time made his appearance to explain the cir cumstance. After sonic discussion he said he was willing to give the woman money to convey her to bcr husband, who, she told him, was at Reading. in Berkshire. This he had offered to do in the moraine, and she refused. In fact, she did not wish to go to hint. The poor women said all she wanted war a little temporary.re lief, as in a short time she hoped to be able to support herself with out receiving any parochial assistance; if that could not be given her, she wished to go into Wales. Mr. Bowers—lt is a great hardship on the parish to have those women come on us ,who have no claim on us. 31r. M —You think all the hardship lies on the parish, and that the pariah is your only consideration ; Is there no hardship on the poor woman with her three children? She has been left with you, and the short and the long of it is, you must either remove her or maintain her: and that being disposed of, I want to know, 31r. Bowers, why our summons to you has been treated with eon. tempt ? Sir. Bowers having expressed his ignorance on the subject, Pace the efficet was recalled. He repeated the statement already given. Mr. Bowers said he was extremely sorry ;oohing of the kind should have happened. but Mr. Matiland would see it was the act of his mistress, and not his own. Mr. AAAAA on—Mistress ! I believe, however, this is not the first instance of a complaint of the kind. The fader having been made out, directed " to the Muter of the Workhouse of the parishes of St. 31arwaret and Si. John the Evan. gelist, Westminster, to admit the hearer, Margaret Jones, absent from her husband, and her three childrenthere to be maintained ;" Mr.Markland signed the order, and told 111 r. Bowers it was given to the beadle to have it complied with. 3lr. Bowers (angrily)—The overseers should not receive it, then. Mr. AIARIL AND (to the beadle)—Go you, Sir, acid do as I de sire you. ' The parties left the office, the poor woman expecting to get re lid; but once more she was doomed to be disappointed, for she soon afterwards returned, stating that the overseer would not pee -1 nut the order to be c.anylied with, and that lie had given her two shighies and sixpence. Mr. MAR/CLAIM then directed her to apply next morning to the Board, who met at twelve o'clock, and represent the circumstance; he could do nothing more for her. It is due to Mr. Bowers to oily, he was extremely angry at the charge made tiy Pace, reflecting on his wife, and lie subeequently came to the othee, acd stated to Mr. parkland he had inquired fruit) her the circumstances; she denied in Seto the statement made by Paco, and accounted for his shutting the door by saying, she was patios/Alibi engaged at their oven at the time she was called to him; she could not esiudgneglect their own business. Pus per. fisted in Sis statehient, and said there were others who could prove what he said. NARLBOHOUOH-STREET.

The obstruction and attempted rescue complained of were, that as he (Lacey) was conveying the man Chitty (who had abused him whilst on duty. and struck hint a blow on the eye) to Mount-street watchhouse, the Count's servant caught him (Lacey) by the cost, and told hint he had used the man very . shamefully, and requested to know whnt lie had done to deserve i t.

The Count said, in his opinion a more flagrant outrage had rot been committed, and loudly milled forte imerterenee of the II giatrates. I Navy cnikarourcd to justify hie conduct, when he was inter rupted by the Magistrate, who told him. in the Bet place, he did wrong in taking the Count's valet into custody for the attempt to rescue, when there was not the slightest ground for it; and his conduct towards the Count himself was most extraordinary. A more infamous cocilmTt of a watchman had never been before him, and he would make an example of him as a warming to others to be more circumspect in the perfOrsiance of their duty. The valet was then discharged ; and Mr. I>y r. °Meted limey to be suspended for one month for the outrage on Count bin Antonio. MART-Lik•BONNE. Yesterday a women dressed in black. and evidently labouring under considerable distress of mind, applied to Dlr. GRIFFITH for his advice. • Th: enplicant stated, that In consequence of an net in which she and her husband had been involved, and which had been investi gated by the criminal authorities, and for which her husband was undergoing the sentence of the law, her friends had turned their backs en her, and she hung totally destitute, was roduced to teen extreme of poverty. The Magistrate begged she would explain more fully the circum stances that had led to so much distress. The woman paused, and with considerable hesitation proceeded to state that she is the wife of a (iceman named KI!IS!, who with her was employed confidentially in the house of Mrs. Kighley, a led 7 of fortune, residing in Welheek-strent, and he, in his !situation of bailer, had charge of yearly all the valuable plate, &c. Unfor tunately, however, the temptation was too irresistible for him, ar.d during the temporary absence of Mrs. Kighley, ho plundered the house of an immensity of property, in plate and jeweilery, and tied. She accompanied him in his flight, and was with hint on the French fmntitr when he heard of his being outlawed, and a very large re ward offered not only f ur his but her apprehension . They, how ever, travelled about front place to place. intending, if possible, to get to Germany ; and aster husband well understood Continental travelling, lie contemplated making rather a circuitous route. lle, however, suddenly quitted her, and she was soon arta taken by Salmon, the polite officer. in Holland, to which place be had traced her. On the journey towards home they suddenly met her hus band, whom the officer also secured, and brought both to this coun try. and they finally were committed to Newpite. The trial came on at the Oid Bailey Sessions some time since, and her husband was capitally convicted, but she was discharged from the bar by a verdict of a:quite', and her husband shortlr was left for execution; however, by the interposition of MnM Kighley, that doom was commuted into transportation for life, and he was now on his way to New South %Vales to receive the full measure of punishment due to his crimes. She had since his discharge endeavoured to obtain a livelihood, but without friends, without character, or even a solitary rtonin mendation, she was thrown upon the world, and begged the Ma gistrate to award her parochial relief. Mr. GRIFFITIL.—Where Is your parish, you should apply to them From her answer, it appeared, she did not know hoe legal set tlement, and had applied to some parishes, but was refused relief. Al agistrato—Youes is an unfortunate case woman, but it ex. emplities what ought to be a lesson to mankind, that when once lou join in a guilty act, and even as in this case, by a maxim of aw, snap: punishment, you by your crimes are excluded from society. After sonic other conversation, from which it appeared she had no stated abode, but was wandering bouseler from parish to parish, The Magistrate directed her to apply to the overseers of the parish wherein she last slept. She left the office with that in tention. Air. Lemon, a dyer, in South-street, 31anchester.equare. yestcr. day applied to the Magistrates of this office, for assistance under the following circumstances : He stated that be was in the habit of receiving parcels from • Mr. Parnell, a tenant of his at Chatham, every of a year, spe rareue containing tn . for rem. (hi Saturday last a MS besught to his house by the porter of the Spread E • oaarit.ollka, Orace clurch.street, and on arming it he found only a 'Ming and a halfpenny wrapped in a piece of writing paper ; bet in examining the paper, he found thereon the impression of two mwsigos. Mr. Raw Li wsow, the Magistrate, examined the paper, and said he could distinguish the impression. Mr. Lemon said, that he had written to Mt. Parnell, and in. formed hint of the circumstance, and bad received a letter in reply, informing him that Mr. Parnell bad evidence of his inclosing the sovereigcs in the parcel, and of Its being delivered at the coach. office at Chatham on Friday last. Mr. Gomm. o, the Magistrate, advised Mr. Loma to apply to the coech.proprietors ma the subject t and rather than hazard a lawsuit ur other more serious proceedings, be bed so doubt they would pay the two sovereigns. 31r. Leeson thanked the Magistrates. FCLONT.—James Morris Cat, • servant to Mr. Roach, the landlord of the Delaware tavern, Mary.la.bonne, was charged with stealing a 10!. note, the property of his master.

Be was apprehended at Brighton a few days ago. Committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Charles Rapping, a person in the employment of Messrs.

One of the boys stated, that the prisons was In the habit of constantly kicking and beating him, in such a manner as partly compelled him, about two or three weeks ago, to run away from the mills. Ttie other boy cormboreted his statement. The prisoner denied the truth of the charge entirely, hut ad. mined that lie " theesh'il" them with a leather strip, which ha produced. The boys denied that the str:p produced was at all the taunt. went of their infliction. le answer to questions from the Magistrate, the boys said that they were induced to pi to the mills from a promise of a daily sup ply of plum-pudding; that there would be no beating; that they were induced to run away, from the beating and Wness of the loud ; they had a slice of bread and some stirabout foe breakfast; and for dinner they sometimes had peas boiled in water, which were so bad that they could not eat them. The foreman then produced a slice of bread, apparently not move than three ounces, which he said was the breakfast allowance. He then stated that four days in the week each boy had six ounces of meet ; and that the boys were in the habit of sellingthat which they could not eat. One of the boys then said they newer sold it; but that It was so bad. end frequently tainted, that they exchanged it when they could for bread and butter. Mr. BENNETT-11nd you sufficient food, supposing it were good ? Boys—Yes, Sir, if it were good and sweet we ecrulti do with the quantity. Mr. BEWNETT—M what time do you generally begin work? Boys—On Sunday night we begin at twelve o'clock. Mr.BENNETT—Aad at what umedo you go to bed on Monday ? Boys—Between ten and eleven o'clock in the morning. Mr. BENNETT—And do you work every night in this manner? The boys said that every other week they were working all night. This was admitted by the foreman. Mr. 111:xwavr expressed Me Indignation at this system of op prevision, particularly on boys of their tender years. He then de. aired that on no account whatever should they be sent back to the nulls, but that they should be returned to the workhouse ; and or dered the prisoner to be held to bail for the assault.

The prisoner being called upon to state where she bad got the watch. replied, that the day on which she took it to the pawn broker's, she met a man in the street, who promised to give her some money if she would pledge it for him.
