Mr. Cross, of this firm, deposed to the prisoner coming into Wets' shop on Monday night to look at some flannel ; this was in the early part of the evening, and at about a quarter past eight o'clock he came again, when he stole a large roll of carpeting, which be run with towards the square.

Mrs. Limbrick said that she merely went into his room for the " stork and bit," and he swore if she did not leave, he would knock her brains out; and thereupon seized her by her hair and threw her down, and swore he would do for her. Two witnesses on the part of the defendants swore that the conduct of Biuon was most outrageous, and that he had taken up a shovel and struck at the defendants ; he had at tempted to bite Mrs. Litnbrick's breast, era bad actually bit* piece out of the hand of Mance. The Alderman told the complainant• after the oaths of the two witnesses, and he not having any one to corroborate his testimony, be must acquit the defendants, observing that if their story was true as to his vicious conduct in attempting to bite, ho was a most unmanly fellow—a complete brute, and ought t o be muzzled ; it was dangerous for personsto pass along the streets were he to go amongst them.

Ir DISTURBANCE AT THE COBOURO THEATRE. - - Yesterday Mr. Joke Ileprood, a pupil at ono of the public hospitals, was brought before the Magistrate from durance rile, charged with creating a great disturbance at the above theatre, by annoying the audience, and interrupting the performance of the preceding evening. It appeared from the testimony of Mr. Rorauer, the box, book, and house-keeper, that the defendant, with two other gentlemen entered the theatre about seven o'clock, and were i conducted by him into a front box on the dress circle, and no sooner had they been seated, and the entertainment commenced, than the defendant began to express in a most shameful man ner his disapprobation, hooting, hallooing, and crying off I off ! off at every performer that made their appearance on die stage. When Miss Healey, whose vocal talents have been Sir Stainsiderable time the admiration of the public, made her , she scarcely had began a very pleasing ballad, the defendant, by his indecorous and tumultuous be , eompelled her to retire from the stage. However, was, by the plaudits of the whole of the audience, except defendant, induced to come on again, attended by Mr. Harryrnore, the manager, and went through her song, hut not a word was audible from the tumult the defendant created. On bit seekiag her exil, ear audience of the pit arose from their *Mk MEd in one voice called upon the Manager to eject the do• ilsolont from the theatre ; upon which Mr. Romer and Mr. Bar mower expostulated with him on his impropriety, and requested ME either to sit quiet or to leave the house; but this remon inane only tended to increase his violence, and he declared he would neither be quiet, nor leave the Theatre. The whole of this time the house was in a complete uproar, and for the sake of good order, Clarke, the officer, was obliged to be called, wt o, before he exercised his authority, took all the pains he could to make him quit the house, but all proved ineffectual, and at length he was forcibly carried out, in the performance of which be gave the °dicer may blows In the face. After considerable be was seedbeted to the cage, where he behaved in tie owe basemen itasner. Mr. Rereeer assured the Magistrate that he had proceeded against the defeadmit for no other motive, than that of making him sensible of his folly, and to chew him that the perform ances of the Theatre were not to be interrupted with impiety.. The Magistrate told the defendant he had acted In a most ungentlemanly manner, and that if Mr. Rorauer intended to proceed against him at the Session, he would order him to put in bail. The defendant said that it was with great regret that he now appeared in such a disgraceful situation, and assured the Ma gistrate that his conduct was attributable to his having drank too much wine. Mr. Rorauer said, the defendant was undoubtedly in liquor, and for that reason he did not wish to proceed any further against him. The Magistrate therefore fined him fie. for being drunk, and ordered him to make a compensation to the officer fur assault ing him. The defendant having done so, was discharged. THROWING A CRICKET-BALL A match was made some time ego, for owe bemired guineas • aids, between Lord Kenambpssed Captain Horsley. which was agreed upon to be decided-Were Christsma-Day ; the latter gentleman undertaking bled a moo whosbeeld throw a cricket ball the distance or eon Modred yards forwards ; and in order that no advantage *meld be derived from the wind, he should throw the ball balk again the mese distance. Hyde Park was the place used upon, and last sasiroisi t t Noble Lord and his sporting adversary met, when Om produced a fine athletic countrymes, to all s e, who attempted the undertaking with the disadvantage of an unfa vourable morning, and failing in it. hia not getting beyond 98 yards in his best throw, consequently the tenant Captain lost kis money.

It soon spread to asp:seta, of Wines, which took Ire, and burnt with great rapidity. The *1'6.64 and exertion of the neighbours, who soon threw the whole °Rise property into the street, saved the eremites Rom being burnt to the ground by the raging element : WI Minutes more and it would have gone beyond their power. The Aligate parish engine, as well as the enginesof the le. pima, Royal Exchange, and Pb .nix Fire-offices soon er. rived, but we are happy to say their aid was divensed with. and that the injury was confined to the property only..

The weather has been dreadful in Paris fur the last week—alternate frost and thaw, with a damp air at times, penetrating every pore. The number of inva lids is unprecedented. - One physician here has thirty patients, from inflammations of the face, produced by sudden change of atmosphere. It is an old saying, that Providence is kind by turns to all. It is now verified—no less than eighty-five English physicians, surgeons, and apothecaries are in Paris : if there were no complaints, how could these gentlemen enjoy their Gallic luxuries? The rage for building has at length seized the Pa risians; every old house with a garden is eagerly pur chased by speculators ; the houses are taken down, and new houses and shops are built upon the whole of the ground. Lafitte is one of the most enterprising in this way. If the speculation goes on, we shall soon be as much in want of pure air here as the inha bitants of St. Giles's. Whilst upon the subject, I must notice the existence of an infamous society, called the " Bon Noir " the members of which are all large capitalists. When any property is offered for public sale, these fellows ascertain its real value, and inquire who is anxious to purchase. When they find this party, they send their agent to him, and threaten to run up the property to its extreme value, if he does not pay them a large pre mium to prevent it. There are few persons foolish enough to refuse the "Bon," for the society prefer even making a bad bargain now and then, to a relaxation of their terms; and therefore almost all whom they apply to readily accede to them. From property and houses for the living, to receptacles for the dead, is no great transition—it is only from life to death. Now then for another society, called a "Philan thropic Administration for respectable but cheap In terment." The profits of this society for burying dead people (and living too, sometimes, or I mistake), cheap, are-0 per cent.; and how produced? I'll tell you. By she law of France, no corpse can be interred -until after twenty-four hours have elapsed from the time of decease. Custom, however, has managed to change the intention of the law and its effect. Bodies must be buried within twenty-four hours, and the Police interfere, is the very teeth of the law, to prevent their being kept longer. If this cheap burial society have to send their hearse or cart for a body, in a quarter of the town where three or four more are dead, whose breath has not left them twenty-four or perhaps tour hours, they take them all in their way, killing several birds with one stone. The Authorities have no interest to prevent this abo minable traffic, perhaps the contrary, and the friends of the deceased comply, as the only meant of pro , riding cheapburial. MARKETS.

COTTON.—The purchases since Saturday have not been ex tensive, and the market ranaliss rather heavy at the former prices. Much curiosity was excited a few days ago by the mysterious appearance of a stranger, habited in the Highland garb, who, with a voice possessing great power and sweetness, arrested the attention of the promenaders on our public walks, by the dulcet notes which be poured forth it - 1 variety of Scotch and other airs. This stranger, we understand, is named CHARLES ADAMS, xud a native of Inverness; which information, as well as that which follows, we have obtained from a gentleman who met with him io Maiden Castle Wood, and took him to his house. Apses had but lately returned from the Continent, where he had been for the lest seven years, in the capa city of valet to Capt. ADAMS (no relation), who died some little time ago at Venice, and who, it will be re membered, accompanied the late QUEEN to Jerusa salern, of which celebrated city the valet gives a very interesting account, as well as of Rome, Venice, Vi enna, Verona, &c. &c. Deprived of a home by the death of his master, he determined to make his voice subservient to his bodily wants, and he accordingly set out on his return to this country, in the character of an itinerant vocalist. His experiment was success ful, and he soon found that he needed no other notes than his own to pay his way back to England. He travelled the whole distance on foot, till he reached the northern shores of France, where he embarked, and having crossed the Channel, resumed his pedes trian journey at Dover. He was thus far on his road to Inverness, when he attracted the notice of the inha bitants of Durham. Our informant describes him as a modest, intelligent young man, apparently about twenty-six or twenty-seven years of age, of a fine commanding figure, which was particularly observ able when he threw off his tartan cloak. He had a journal of his travels, and a variety of drawings, both of which he said he intended to place in the hands of Sir WALTER SCOTT, PR his arrival in Scotland ; and he plated several interesting anecdotes of the late Wux i &c, due.—DurhamiCavaly Advertiser.

[Further particulars,) Official aceouffits were received on Saturday at the Admtralty of the loss of his Majesty's sloop Racehorse, Captain Suckling. is attempting to enter the harbour of Douglas, Isle of Man, on the night of the 14th instant. Tho following letter on the subject will befound interesting:— " This vessel bad been ordered from the Plymouth station to the Isle of Man, as convoy for the Vigilant cutter, Lieut. Read, which bad been disabled in a heavy gale in Douglas Bay, on the &h of October, and obliged to cut away her mast and throw her guns overboard; she was with much difficulty brought into the harbour there, and after has ing undergone a temporary repair, was to have proceeded to Plymouth under convoy, as above stated. The Racehorse left Milford Haven early on Saturday morning, the 14th inst. After taking a pilot on board, she proceeded for her d es ti. nation. They wade the Island between two pr three r. a., but the weather being thick and the night pitchy dark, the pilot, it is sup. posed, on nearing the shore, mistook the Bay of Ourtletown, which is very capacious, for that of Douglas; and about belf.past fi v e , when the land was descried Ouse to them, in attempting to enter the bay, the vessel struck upon Langaeu Point, which is stir rounded by tremendous and almost perpendicular rocks. All I hopes of saving her was at once given up, as she filled instantli, and the pumps became totally useless. Guns of distress, with 'rockets, false fires, and other signals were made for assistance from shore; but die wind blowing directly into the bay, and being rather fresh, two boats only could be procured that would venture out to their assistance, which they did with lanterns in their bows; and many of the inhabitants rushed from the town, in a moat dispel night, to the bead, which is full three miles from it, and over Ate greatest part very dangerous, from the rocks and broken ground to be passed, and this io the hope of being useful to the unfortunate lingerers. At the time she struek, the Captain and Senior Lieutenant were both on deck, and is appears that no fault whatever can be attributed to the Officers on this melan. °holy occasion. " It now became neeessar7 to save the lives of the erew ; and such was the excellent diteipline on board the ship, that not a man attempted to quit her without orders. We understand that the Captain had the roll called of the crew, and op each man'ii name being called over he stepped into the boat, when an Officer was named to descend and take charge of it, and to land, if pos. aible, among the nicks, of which there appeared but little hopes, as the sea was beating over them with great violence. Happily for all but the last boat, thin difficulty was completely overcome, as by this time fires were made with straw in different directions near the wreck, where there was any hopes of their landing nt security. . . . "The Captain, First Lieutenant, and a Mutee's Mate (Mr. Bone), came by the last boat, which, unfortunately, was rather crowded, and consisted of seventeen persons, Captain Suckling being the last man who quitted the ship. When at some distance from the rocks, the boat unfortunately upset, by which all were left to shift for themselves. The Captain, being a good swimmer. was saved with much dificulty ; as were the Lieutenant, some ef the sailors, And some of the boat's crew; but Mr. Bone, the fisher man who commanded the boat (which was cue that went out to their assistance), eve of the crew of the Racehorse, and two men belongintto the boat, were unfortunately drownod, making a to. tal ornine persons who perished on this melauchoLy occasion sad when all circumstances are coosidered, it is wonderful that no more lives were lost, . . _ " By this sudden cataatmOe the °Bests have lost every tiny but what they had es their iseks ; yet the object that creates commiseration iithe widow of the fisherman who commanded the boat, and so gallantly lost his life or the °erasion ; she had just been delivered of her eighth child, and has, by these means, been deprived of all berbepes in this life, which depended solely on her husband's exertions ; it is not, however, doubted but that Go. 'eminent will handsomely provide for her—it is the least recce. pense she can expect. " It has been ascertained that most of the bodies of the unfor. Waste sufferers have been recovered from the watery deep. Those .of Mr. Bone, and the fisherman (Quayle), during the course of the day, sod four or five of the seanteu since. The former is to be eturveyed to Malew church, and his remains will be attended to the place of interment by the whole of his brother °dicers, &e.' PRICE OF STOI Bank Stock 245 i 5 3 per C.
