There are many ways by which an Innocent h eutsel end cond.:log girl may be drawn into a temporary intimacy • ouseicious characters; but whatever welt the means praetised . by the Captain, certain it ii that she was grossly insulted by b•nithing the air of this retreat of infamy; and tlikt during her tet sy she was plied by a certain deleterious setemerd, which urn , eatery bewildered her reason, and made her an easy prey to a dmigoing shish.

Miss Gibbs stated, that about one o'clock in the day the defen. dant came i n to the shop in a vary abrupt manner, and in a perentp. tory tone ordered her to take a particular print, which he pointed out, down from the window instantly, and hand it to him. She hesitated to obey his mandate, and he ran round the counter, pushed her aside with great violence, and snatched the print in question from the window. in doing which he broke two limes of glass, and damaged seem] prints. Ile did damage to the amount of at least ?J., us well as she could estimate it hastily. The print. which appeared to have excited the defendant's ire, was produced. The subject was. Venus sleeping, watched by Cu pid; and it would he thflicult for the moat fastidious persen even to imagine any thug indelicate in the repres , mtation. The defetti.stit, who had stood smiling with great sslf.comols ' cency duritig Miss (iibbs's statement, was asked what lie hail to say to the charge? and he immediately threw Ithuself into an ora torical attitude, and whit Brest vehemence of tone and gesture spoke to the following effect :—Sir. I am called upon by you to give an answeruo the charge which has been now made *gallon me, and I trust, indeed I feel perfectly confident, that before I have concluded I shall succeed In convitc!ng you that the course I have pursued in this instance has been I:tuna:ay justifiable under the circumstances. I was pawing the shop in which this young lady officiated with so nutch grace and so much honour to herself, when the mint in question caught my eye, sideways as it were— that is to say, I had a side view of it—not a sufficient view to be able to sat ar positively that it was of an itithaNnt manic, laic I was impressed with en idea that it was. That was my firm impres. slots ; and 'teeing a number of men standing gsztng at the prints in •-•!*- window. I called aloud to them to a itlttlraw themselves from t h e v i ew t „;.: : :idt an . exhibition, for that they were endangering their morals.—they acre corrupting their minds, anti wasting the time which their Crealar had plac,:ti at their disposal for much better purposes. Strange; to say, the men only laughed at my exhortation, and I then determined to remove the close of the evil by going Into the shop tr.ti porchasing the print, and cautioning the sel:er not ogain to trifi_ will. the pub : lie 11101[11% by exhibiting its counterpart. I went ado the shop, certainly under the Irina - ince of cattsitlcrable irritation at the time, and desired this young lady to take down the print. She refused, and I warned her of the consequences of her refusal to hosself and her fellow•creatures, but still she heeded me not. Sir: ass pee -1 fectly insensible, or seemed to be so, of the force of toy c.bstrva.. Lions. I told her, dist as a member of society, as a Christian, as a w(11-wishar to her fellow creatures, she ass bound to remove the print. I told her, when she still refused, that 'cue was conimandad by the great Creator oC the.Univeise to do as I (knitted her—that -the netwithweef her soul depended upon her compliance. and still she was insensible—still she would not obey me: and then I cer i tainly did go round and tear down the obnoxious print. Whatever I damage I have done, I am most a i ling to pay for; and as a fur. they atonement fee my mistioil%s—if misdoing , they can be called— . I will now instantly givistbis young lady two kisses as a compensa tion for the alarm which I have occasioned her, and to convioce her that she was not the object of my vengeance. Mr. HALLS—Really, lair, you net very strangely. You Imam to have been actuated by a regard fur morality, and now Jon talk in a way which would induce Ore msugpose that yon had fo rgotten all tut the name. Do you think it ile:ent to talk about kissing this young lady in the presence of a Magistrate, and in the presence of a number ct strangers too ? Defendant—l assure you, Sir, I meant nothing impure. I made the offer to statue this young lady twin motives of the strongest attachment. Mr. HALLS--Why. Sir, your attachment must he very goickly formed ; and I think that you might find sonic more delicate mode of convincing this young lady of your attachment, us you call it, than that a hich you have adopted. Defend:tin—Perhaps you are right, Sir, but 07,04,1 nitwit antur, you know. Mr. lIALLS—ReeIIy, Sir, I have listened to you long enou g h. My duty is very simple you hare dune damage to a certain and you must pay for it, or beam pi prison. The defendaLt, without hesitation, gave a check upon Messrs. Wtight, the hankers, for the amotint of thc dantage, anti remained In the office until th? messenger who went with the cheek returned with the money, and he then departed. DUEL PREVIiNTED.

Mr. Waters statA, that hot wife wart into Lancashire ,a abort time ago, and expecting her home on a certain clay, he went to the Angel, at Islington, to await the coming of the coach. \Viten the coach arrived, he liv.ked in at the window and called " 31r$. Wa ' tern; but found she had not come. He was leaving the coach, i when he saw a lad lying in the' road near the coach, apparently I writhing In agony. Inquiring the cause, he learned that the guard had kicked tile boy in the abdomen with great violence. He re . monstrated with the defendant upon his committing such a brutal set, and the latter immediately told him th it the buy was a thief-- that he (complainant) was also a thief, and one of a gang who wer e constantly surrounding the stage coaches on their arrival, for the purpose of robbing them. Complainant naturally expressed him. self rattier indignantly at this statement, and the defendant took out a pistol and thrust it into his face, threatc,:ing, to blow out Ida brains. _ . _ _ This WWI the assault complained of. In defence, the accused said the boy was a thief, and intended to rob the coach, and that he took the co.uplaluant fur an accomplice. He wes told that this was a very roar defence indeed. 44 It can not ba endured," said Sir R. Brame:, " in a country like this, thi," man shall take out a deadly weapon and thrust ft into the face of another In mid-day, uno.) a mere Taney of his own. Such turhutent spirit* must be coaled by the oprration of the law." The defendant was held to bail in an ample amount for his ap pearance at the Session'. DEA R GAME. illarTim-Oaoniett.—Yesterday James Ilreffera, a porter at the Angel Inn, St. Ch-ment'a, appet rtd to • summons jutted at the complaint of Mr. Joseph Alcock, of Heaton-square, fur an ore' - charge of the porterage of a yowl of game. Mr. Akock stated that the defendant had cherged him 131. for the delivery of the parcel, a very small one, from the Argel Inn. St. Clement's, to Hostoo-smsare, whereas the charge, agreeable to Act of Parliament, should nut have exceeded lOti. Ilaving been for ten years a book-keeper at the Swan a ith two Necks, lad-lane, of course he had a right to know ss much of these mamma as most men. The defendant contended that the chary was fair, agreeable to the distance, which exceeded two miles. Mr. Aleock—l am positive it is not ro much. Mr. Sergeant SELl.ox—lf you are both satisfied the growl shall be measured, mit we will deride the amount of the charge. The parties, having regressed their determination to abide the re sult, deposite d ss. each, and Lloyd, the o ffi cer, proceeeed to mem. sure the ground with t he ' the itiolite, and reported that It exceeded two slides by one guano , and twenty-two yards. Mr. Alcock contended that the charge valid not be more than 1011., unless the distance was more than two miles and a half. Sergeant SELLON—IIow do you know that ? Mr. Aleock .1 have .alcen an extract front the Post-ogle.e Direc tory, which defines th , t , tate of porterage verf cLatly—for two miles Itht , and for every hale mile 3d. more. The defendant contended that the sum of W. was allowed for any distance over two milee, and if it exe.etted the half toile the charge would have been Is. tid., and en on in the sane proportion. .Ir. Sergeant SE 11.1.0N-14t us see the Act. Mr. Alenck—This is an abstract of it; I copied it front the Posr-uni-e Directory. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—No, no; I prefer seeing the Act itself. Mr. Mallett, the Chief Clerk, then pointed out the particular clause. Mr. Sergeant SELLON, on perusing it, observed, that the defend ant was right, as the words of the Act were. " for two miles the sum of 10J. ; and so on likewise for any further distance not exceeding halt a mile. 3d. more." Mr. .11cock—But your 'Worship will perceive that the half mile is not completed, and I take it that the charge is not allowable unless it he. ..... Mr. Sergeant SELLON— But I think it is, because the distance is neer two miles. . . Ale-tick—The Foot-office Directory, which is eor sir, ereti an urcrring authority, nets forth that the additioial 11. shall be charged only when the half mile is completed. Mr. Sergeant Srmt.ox—l don't care what the authority of the Post-office Directory may he. at long as I have the superior an• charity cf the Act of Parliament, by which only I will be guided. Mr. Alcock—Tf this imposition be permitted to pass, the public will be always the sufferers. Mr. Sergeant sEr.t.ox cannot help that ; let them get the Act ante' dad if they think so. Mr. Alcock2.ll only know that when T was at lad-lane. the Guildhall Magistrate+ would not suffer us to charge in a greater proportion than what 1 have stated. Mr. Sergeant SE 1. LOX —I ace by the Act of Parliament that the charge is legal, and jots had better pay it. Alcrek—May I have liberty to appeal to a higher Court? Mr. Sergeant Scr.t.om—Certainly ; it tile Art admits of appeal, ycu may. Mr. said that the parties might appeal egairst the Justice's deci.ioti within six days or the next castling Sessions of the Peace. Alr. Alen& said he meant no dire pct to the Magistrate. but he was resoled to tty the question, fur the benefit of the public at large. The complaint was dismirmed, Mr. Attack paying the expenses of summons, measurement. ke. which amounted to iffs. including 1 3s. for the porter's loss of time. BiARI.BOROVOH-STitEET.—VeSterdl7 Mr. White, seal hilt So licitor, 31r. Slung, renewed their application relating to the mys terious attempts made to set the house, 1165. High Holborn, on hre. Air. Blunt observed, that in consequence 01 what took place at *llk office yesterday, he went in the evening to Me. Whi:e r house'. to sleep the holm was fattened tilt, and every place was properly esantim it, when, disccvering nothing to induce susrricion, they' re tired to rest, but about two o clock in the morning be heard a per son moving from one room to another, when he got up, aid pur sued the sound; he beheld a man gliding along one of the pas sages, whom he auspzwed he knew; but the prison prevented his seeing his face, and, on finding himself to be discovered, escaped ; on examining the house, it appeared he had come over the tiles of three or four houses, and descended on a landing-place, from whence he opened a window and gained admission. There was a very strong smell pf turpentine in different parts of the house, and in the n:orning was discovered, in various parts, trains of turpen tine laid down, and holes made in the Soar, into which was stuffed tow, steeped In the same combustible matter. Fire had actually been discovered fire times within two months. He hoped the Ma gistrate would allow him one or two officers to protect the house. Al+ Roe—lt is an unlucky thing that you and your friend did rot *Mimi measures better, to enable you to apprehend the mys terious person. it is not likely that he will come again ; tur these application!: beta; made public will prevent him; but it is no use judging any person until you can bril; the rise into a more tan gible shape. A communication was then made to Mr. Plank, when the parties left the office. A man was charged by Alexander, tinder the new S.reet with bayi n g dragged a truck, containing two casks of ale, on the footpath. The man said he was igrorant of its being an offence. Mr. CON ANT—If yeti till promise not to do so rigida, I will diseliargo you. The man instantly promised not to offend again. Alex .nder, however, olotervcd, that lie had made out a clear of fence. and thonght there ought to be a conviction. Mr. CoNANT thOtTht not. The man left the office, and was followed by Alexander grum bling. Just as he reached the door, Webb, the Inspector of St. James's, said that he and a complaint to make against Alexander, on %hie!' he returned, saying, wind have you to say against me ? IVebb--My complaint against Alcxx:aier is, that after knowirg it is an offence to draw any vehicle nr. the paventent, lie has wil fully offended by bringing the truck or the defendant into the afire, I having, by so doing, dragged it on the pavement. Alexander—Which way was the 111*g:student tyke cognizance of the fact, had I not brought the truck to the office? Mr. CONANT—YOU see, had I convicted the man, I cenlil not have done leea than convict you in return ; but on your prontieing not to offend again, I shall let you be tli•chargeti. Alexander—Am 1, in a similar case. not, to bring the vehicle ho-fore the Ningi.trate, or is he to go and ,ee ?—This knotty question the Alagt,ttatereldiell to decide, when Alexander left the office with a greater portion of ill temper than bctore. 31anY1t:noNE OFFICE.—On Wednesday night Jiiss Lloyd, • 1 1 lady elegantly thetwed• who keeps the house Nin 11.

UNIO/1-11A1.1..—Yesterday a WWI named /Aitken was brew f t before the sluing S. CALDWELL, Esq. on a charge of having astratilted a alrs. Murphy, with intent to commit a rape. The deftodanth; fete preserved a sail spectacle from the injuries ht. flirted upon it by the entaaed husband of the enniplainant, iii. eyes were nearly closed up and blackened, and he was divestet •of a great proton of the most prominent feature. Mr. Murphy has. ing bitten off the tip of his cute during the seutHe that followed die attack upon his wife. The complainant. a stnerta asking little Insitworear, stated, that cn alonday evening last she acrompanied her husband and the de fendant, who was an acquaint nice, to a club ; they remained there until nearly eleven o'clock at night, add then took their departure. Ilea husband was the worse far hquor. and on their arrival Amelia sat down in a chair, and some f, II into a sound sleep. with his heat resting on tie table. The defendant. who was in the room at the time, on perceiving Mr. Murphy asleep, proposed to awake him, obaciviag that as he vain about to go to his own lodgings, hest - meld like to arouse him tot of his dor , . and wish him a glad night. Thi , however, the wife refu.e.l to allow, requesting her husband u ight not be diluter d, and desited the lefendant to go bane as A war tarn getting hoe. The de:ender t tccottlingly took her ;drier and withdrew. lie, however, had rot been gone many minutes when a knock came to the room door, anti on her opening it sla was surprised on seeing the defendant again, who walked into the room, and sat dawn in 'chair opposite to that in which her husband wan Amp. The defendant made no excuse for the intrusion, b e : gt.zlng at Mr. Murphy, who was at this period snoring lent and sleet', and insensible to all that was passing aramil him. At length Mr. Hackett suddenly rose, as site thought. to; the purpose of going away, instead of which he 'civet her up in his anns, car. ried her over to the bed, notwithstanding all her struggles to dire,. gage herself, and threw her down upon it. The Magistrate, with surprise, And your husband all :be time in the same room ?" The Complailiant —Yea. Sir, but ha was an sound asleep that he did not hear what was palming ; anti indeed I was terrified that ha should, for I was convinced that he you'd have murdered the nisa on the spot who made such a villanous attack upon me. Magistrate—Well, what happened afterwards? The complainant went en to state, that when she was flung upor. the bed the defendant endeayinsanate pinion tier aims, hat she re sisted his efforts an successfully, that she ultimately extricated her self, and gate her assailant ISO vtalent a kick that he was tiisablei for the time, and sat down apparently in great pain. alegistrate—Was your husband still asleep while these proem& inns were going forward? Complainant—lle was. The Magistrate then said that it was necessary she should state particularly whether any violence had been committed upon he: I patron by the defendant, further than what she Lad described. Mrs. Murphy replied that she bad made so vigcrots a resistant against him, that he raged in accomplishing that which he int tended, and his Mare Ise Italy to be attributed to the kick ahead! spoken of. Magistrate—Havhig, p your say, eateiested 'ourself, what ilia you co then ? • Mrs. Murphy--Why, Sir, i called him a rogue and a villain for offering to make such an attack upon tae, a married woman, e.c under the easy nose of my husband. The defendant, on hearing the word nose mentioned, pointed to his own, which had suffered so severely in the conflict with the hurband, and said, " hook at my now, Gentlemen—see what a figure it now cats On my face. Her greedy husband was not con tent with giving nee a pair of black eyes, but he must also bre Ow greater part of my nose off, only leaving me fair thing upon no face. which cannot be called a nose in Nture. (Laughter.) And all this," added he, " for molting at all." The complainant cantintied—(laving desired defendant tribe gone cut of the house, and neje% that he was not diseased to stir after all that bad happened, tearing ti,at he would 'mew the attack again, she seem out on the staircase and called out " altioder." order to have the awash:nee of the Indgers in expelling him. She, however. Lad scarcely given the &am, when , h e bawd the defen dant add her husband lighting, and, on retuning back to the room. saw them both on the-flno-, apparently endeavouring to strangle one another. A man named Howe% who lived in the room above stairs, came down at this jnacture, and separated the combatants. but not before the defendant had the greater Foot of his nose bitten clean of. Mr. Cnisr, who attended for the defendant• c: ntended that them was a vast deal of inconsistency in the story told against his client. Ile said that Hackett anti Murphy had been formerly on vary in timate terms, but had recently quarrelled ; and on the night in ques tion, when they were both intoxicated. they fell out with each ether: a battle ensued, in the course of which Hackett's nose was bitten off by the complainant's husband, who acted with tha greaten ferocity on the occasion. Tim wife, therefore. fe.diag that pro• ceettinpa would have been instituted against her husband, trumped up this story of a rape in order to prevent any *repo being taken hi the defendant for so outrageous and unmanly sn week as had hen. committed upon him. Mr. Crisp edited, that the complainant hot east tied neatly halt an hour had elapsed from the tune of theirs , rival at home on the night mentioned until she called out mauler. lfe, however, could produce a witness to rebut that assertion, and to prove that Mrs- ,Ilurphy war unaterthy of cr A man named Bowes. a lodger, was then called, and he atate.t that he heard all the parties arrive at lime nn the night in ques tion, and in less than ten minutes afterwards he heard a cry of murder. and, on procecdirg down stairs, saw :Murphy and Hackett struggling together on the Hoar. lie separated them, and obseivat th.tt part of Hackett's nose was bitten off. Witmer did not hear natter Mr. or Mrs. Murphy Penis_ the defendant of having attempts co' to commit a rape. Had any such thaw: bean made at the time, he must have heard it. The Magistrate. after bestowing considerable pains in the in .vestigatinn, said that the charge was not sulisitaraiated, and eta served, that the complainant might indict at the Stsaions if slat thought fit. `The defendant was therefore discharged. Lord Thanes, on leaving Skipton, left 100/. in the !lamb of his steward, to be given to the poor of Skipton and Siladen. its Lordship also • abolished the st,kc of tte Sileden and Skipton cnrn-mills.
