A decent-looking Creole lad, named Jacob Jaines about 15 years of age, was brought beftne Mr. Al derman Then' , yesterday, upon a charge of vagrancy. Mr. Cecly, the landlord of the Crown public-house in Crown-court, Fleet -street, stated, that while he was absent on Thersday evening, till.; lad strolled into his tap-room to warm himselr, and immediate!y fell asleep. After about two hours had elapsed he awoke, and witness observing he had the appearance of areinterizent well-disposed bid, put some questions to hiM, and learned that he was pennyless, and with out a friend in London, which he had reached that afternoon in search of employment. lie was born at Berbice, and all his relations are slaves on the estate of Colonel Nixon, by whom he was brought to Eng land as a footboy abont three years ago. The Co lonel, who is residing at Clifton, near Bristol, had, he represented, dismis s ed him with 10s. in his pocket, on the 26th inst., for absenting himself from tke house till nine o'clock the preceding evening; and having walked to Reading, he paid Bs. there as his fare by the coach to London. fie sail the Colonel would give him a good character, and he wished to net a situation, or to return to Berbice.:. The magistrate's eleii4;was orilered- - to`irit") Colonel Nixon, and the- prisoner was remanded till Tuesday. • BOWSTREE A smartly dressed woman, about 30 'years of age, named Mary Lukin,was brought up isy Mr. Thomas, the superintendent of police, charged under circum stances of the most revolting description. Mr. Thomas stated that the prisoner had for some time kept a biothel in Banbury-court, Long-sere. This house was open all day and night for the re ception of female children of from 10 to 13 years of age ; and this fact having come to his knowledge, he had given instructions to his men . to watch the house, and to use every exertion to procure evi dence in order to a prosecution. On Thursday evening, a poor widow, named Turnbull, came to Covent-garden watch-house in great distress of mind, and said that her eldest daughter, a girl not yet 13 years of age, had absconded from how, and she had reason to believe that she had been decoyed to some brothel in the neighbourhood. An inquiry was im mediately set on foot,and at length the poor woman's child was found sitting in a parlour in the prisoner's house, as if quite at home, with her bonnet off, her hair nicely dressed, and some sweet-cake and wine, and a newspaper before her ! The unhappy child was immediately brought away, and she• ad mitted to the witness that she was prevailed upon by the prisoner to come to her house to meet a gen tleman, whom she expected to call, and assured her that he would give her plenty of money. The pri soner was then taken into custody. Mrs. Turnbull, the mother, a decent-looking woman with an infant in her arms, was sworn, and told a most lamentable tale. She said the girl was the eldest of six children, and that her husband, Who was blind for five years and a half, had d;ed recently. She had worked extremely hard to sup port them, and could not at all account for the con duct of her daughter, to whom she had uniformly behaved with kindness, and given the best advice. The girl herself was then examined, and she ad mitted that she had been four or five times before to the prisoner's house to meet " gentlemen," who had given her money, part of which she gave to the prisoner. She was first of all taken there by a girl younger than herself, who said she was ethployed by the prisoner to " pick up" little girls. This girl was next called, and stated that the evi dence given by Mary Turnbull was quite true. This child and two others about the same age disclosed a system of depravity truly horrible. They stated that the prisoner had agents constantly employed to inveigle very young girls to her house for the pur pose of prostitution, and that if they obtained 11. she took ss. for herself, and 2s. for her servant, and in - the same proportion for any sum they might have given to them. Thomas Snell, policeman, No. 152, said he had watched the house, and seen female children go there, and had also seen the prisoner in the street with half a dozen at a time, treating them with cakes and giving them halfpence, and afterwards taking them to her house. The prisoner, in her defence coolly said, that a great part of what had been stated was false. Mr. MINSHULL said, that of all the cases that had ever come before him this was the most dreadful. Comment, however, would be useless upon such conduct as that pursued by the prisoner. The pro gress of such a monster must be put a stop to, and he mils sure the parish-officers would at once com mence a prosecution. Mr. Thomas said he would answer for the promp titude of the officers of Corent•garden in mull a case as this. The prisoner was then ordered to find bail, her self in 50/. and two sureties in 251. each, and was committed to prison in default. During the examination the indignation of the . auditory was almost uncontrollable, and several times burst forth in audible execrations. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A powerful ruffianly looking fellow, named Patrick Kelly, was brought to the office in custody of one of the new police, charged with the following atrocious and desperate assault. Mrs. Beaumont, a very delicate respectable look ing young female, who appeared with a green shade over her left eye, which was dreadfully bruised and discoloured, stated that on the evening before, about eight o'clock, she went to Piccadilly, as is her cus tom, to meet her husband, who is guard to the Exeter mail, which starts from that place, and while standing on the foot pavement, near the Gloucester Coffee-house, waiting for the mail to drive up, the prisoner came up to her, and asked her for some halfpence; she told him she had note, which in fact was the truth, having just before given till the halfpence she had to a poor woman she met with two children ; but the prisoner persisted in demand ing some relief lit a very peremptory tone, until at last she told him that he had better go about his business ; upon which, without further ceremony, he struck her a desperate blow with his fist over the eye, and knocked-her down on the pavement as if she were shot. Some persons who were stand ing by immediately seized the prisoner, until one of the police came up and lodged him in the watch house. The prisoner in his defence, if defence it can be called, said that he was hungry, and he wanted money ; and as for knocking down the lady, he merely stumbled against her and she fell. Mrs. Beaumont's husband, - who attended with her, said that it was lucky for the prisoner that he was not at hand at the time, as he would have given the prisoner cause to remember that evening the longest day he lived. Mr. Roe, the Magistrate, who sat with Mr. Co- NANT to hear this case, told the prisoner that he had a very narrow escape from being sent to take his trial for his life, as his offence bordered very closely indeed on an attempt at .highway robbery. The two Magistrates then consulted, and came to the de termination that the prisoner's conduct was so mon strously outrageous, that he deserved the severest punishment that could be infli cte d on hi m, an d asked Mr. Beaumont if he would indict him at the Sessions, as in that case they would hold the pri soner to bail ; but Mc. Beaumont said be would HATTON-GARDEN Two sisters of the name of Haritell, natives of Oxfordshire, making an appearance truly etched, where brought before Mr. Itomuts, the sitting Ma gistrate, by a watchman of Sadlers-wells, who charged them w ith having been found in a shed, where they had taken shelter from the inclemency of else previous night. It appei.red that both the females have been well known to the police in the neighbourhood of Sadie's wells for several months past, during which time they have been nightly wandering about, apparently friendless, and without occupation or a home. The night before the watchman found them sitting lonely and melancholy in an open shed close by the theatt e, and conceiving that it would be proper they should give some account of themselves before a Magistrate, he took them into custody as vagrants, aid, lodged Ahem in the watch-hOnse. When asked what they had to say for themselves, the account they gave was, that they were born at Wotton, in Oxfordshire, and being by trade dress makers, they came up to London about twelve months ago to get employment and improve them selves in their business, but being unsuccessful in the attainment of their object, and having no friend here, they were reduced to a slate of absolute desti tution, and being thereby obliged to apply to the parish for relief, the parish authorities passed them home. Having only their mother living, and she being a pauper in her native settlement, they were dissatisfied to remain at home, and by the advice of the overseer at Wotton, they returned to London, in the expectation that they would not again meet with those disappointments that befel them at first, and that a second adventure would prove more fortunate. A similar fate, however, awaited them, or even a worse fate, for though they procured a little employment, it was not sufficient to afford them a living. They had been three months wan dering about' the streets, _suffering under an accumu lation of hardships arid privations, and for the last two months neither of them had reposed her limbs on a bed. They bad taken shelter, as they usually did, where the watchman found them the night before. The Magistrate discharged them, with a warning, that if they were taken up again under similar cir cumstances, they should be sent to prison. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. BANKRUPTCY SUPERSEDED.

On Monday night a Meeting of tbe Weavers was held in the Lancasterian school-room, for the pur pose of taking into consideration the best means of raising a fund for the relief of the families of the men committed to prison for the riot at Whoberly. At six o'clock Mr. RICE was called to the chair, who briefly-declared the object of the Meeting. After which the following Resolutions were adopted, and the Meeting adjourned : " Resolved, 1. That in the opinion of this Meet ing, any breach of the public peace committed by the operatives is detrimental to their real interest, and We cannot but regret that occurrence which has sub jected some of our fellow-artisans to prosecution and punishment. " Resolved, 2. That this Meeting, in referring to the bite transactions at Moberly, cannot possibly separate the effect from the cause, arid hereby ex presses its conviction, that had not Mr. Woodcock attempted a breach upon the present low list of prices, no insult would have been offered to himself, or damage done to his property. " Resolved, 3. That as no proof has been given that any of the five who have been committed did destroy the property of Mr. Woodcock, this Meet ing cannot but sympathise with them in their distress, and hereby resolve to contribute towards their com fort and the maintenance of their families. " Resolved, 4. That, as in the opinion of this Meeting a friendly feeling exists (and that very ge nerally) towards these poor men, it is deemed pru dent to solicit contributions throughout the to►vn. " Resolved, 5. That a Committee be appointed for the general superiatendance of this business, and to,solicit subscriptions." THEATRICAL POLITICS.—If political par ties in France were not thrown into such violent col lision by the state of the Government, they would find a di vet sion to their strife in another species of warfare, in which they profess to feel nearly as great an interest. The par tisans of the romantic and classic schools of literature. who have been for some time past issuing manifestoes against each other in the Journals, and in works of criticism, have now come to open hostilities on the stage. The Theatre Francais, or theatre for the regular drama in Paris, hitherto the stronghold of the classical party, sup ' ported by the overwhelming reputation of COR NEILLE, RACINE, and VOLTAIRE, WAS the scene of combat, which was won on Sunday by the Romantiques and SHAKSPEA RI. The immediate subject of contention was Othello, or the 2lloor of Knicc, intro duced to a French audience by a young poet named M. ALFRED de VIONY, and it is surprising with what heat the battle was carried on. The romantic party who chiefly occupied the pit and orchestra, applauded every word, every sentiment of the English poet, while the opposite faction, lodged in the boxes and gal leries, returned their plaudits with hooting, hissing, and laughing. At the dropping of the curtain it was evident that the former had succeeded, as the author of the translation was called for, and named with applause, and the name of SHAKSPEA RE, or, as the actor who announced the translator expressed it, "le Grand SHAKSPEA RE," was hailed with bravos by a large m ,jority of the audience. The journals are as much divided in this dispute as the audience appears to have been; the Constitutionnel the Gazette de France, and some others, supporting the classical party, and the Quotidienne and Messager des Chambres inclining on the other side, the Journal des Debats affects a kind of neutrality. THE LATE TURN-OUT OF COTTON-SPlN NElts.—Amongst other evil consequences resulting from the late turn-out of fine spinners, we understand the re ceipts of the gas-directors, for lighting factories, shops, and public houses, have been diminis h ed by at least 2,000/. This extraordinary individual made yesterday a most extraordinary change in the routine of his performances. After washing his hands in molten lead and cleansing his Mouth with boil ing oil, he was proceeding to swallow his usual dose of phosphorus, when a voice from the lower end of' the room called upon him to take a tea-spoonful of prussic acid in its stead. The Fire King made a slight demur at first to this proposal, on the.ground that it was necessary to make some preparations, which he had not made, before he swallowed that deadly poison ; but shortly afterwards he declared, that as he had " publicly challenged the whole world to take a tea-spoonful of prussic acid, half an ounce of arsenic, and six grains of phosphorus within a quarter of an hour," he would not shrink, on the present occasion, from the performance of a feat, which was but a part of what lie had for mally undertaken to accomplish. As he had always stipulated that he should be permitted' to take the antidote for prussic acid before he took the prussic acid itself, he left the room for a few minutes to fortify himself against its effects.— On his return, he was preparing to fill a tea spoonfol with it, out of a bottle of his own, when the same individual, who had first c.al d upon him to perform this dangerous experiment, requested him to fill it out of a vial which he produced out of his pocket. The Fire-King showed no reluctance ; but stated that he be lieved the prussic acid which was contained in his vial, was as strong as any that could be pro cured. He then called upon the individual to fill the spoon from his own stores. The indi vidual refused, assuring him that there was no juggle in the contents of his vial—that it con tained real prussic acid, and that three drops of it would kill the strongest man. The Fire-King was undismayed at this declaration, and again called on the individual to supply him with a dose. Again the individual refused, on which the Fire-King requested that if he was afraid of administering the dose, he would at least give him (the Fire-King) the vial which contained it. The vial was in consequence handed over . to the Fire-King ; and there was a strong con trast between the trembling hand with which its owner reached it to the Fire-Icing and the steady hand with which the Fire-King poured a tea spoonful out ofit. At this moment the anxiety of the spectators was intense ; and as the Fire-King took his station in the middle of the room, in order that every body might see him swallow the poison, there was aleneral cry that he should not venture on so hazardous a performance. But the Fire-King felt that his honour was at stake, and sinking down upon one knee, called upon a gentleman near him to pour the poison down his throat. The gentlemen declined, having proba bly before his eyes .the fear of a coroner's in quest, to say nothing of an indictment for mur der, in case the Ere-King should (lie of the poison which he administered. The Fire-King then called upon several gentlemen one after another to perform this service for him ; but not one could be found with sufficient courtesy to render it. One person said to him—" But what will become of me, Monsieur, if you should die ?"—" Bah !" replied the Fire-King, " I shall not die. If I do, come hack and bury myself; so don't you trouble your head further about me, but give me the spoon, and I'll soon take off the poison." The spoon was then given to him. He put it into his mouth, deliberately drank its contents, then opened his mouth again to show that he had swallowed them, and then jumped upon his feet. For a moment he staggered, and appeared unable to stand. His eyes at the same moment rolled frightfully in his head, and his whole appearance was disordered. A feeling of consternation pervaded the room, but it was not of long con tinuation ; for after au effort he recovered him self, and declared that all danger was passed. A general burst of applause testified the interest which his performance had excited, and the satis faction with which its successful isssue wa; wit nessed. There was a general desire among the company to learn whether he had felt any pecu liar sensations upon taking a poison so instan taneous in its effects: but to the first questions which were put to him, he begged to be ex cused giving any answer, as . he felt so stupified that he scarcely knew what he was doing. The reply was in itself an answer to the question ; and he was desired by a medical gentleman, who was present, to sit down and refrain from talk ing, till he felt himself recovered. When sub sequently questioned as to the effects which the poison had produced upon him, he said that be felt a very curious sensation in his temple and eyes upon taking it ; but that it had soon gone, and had only left a heaviness behind it. He then called upon the individual who had furnished him with the prussic acid, and who subsequently stated himself to be a Cooper, a chymist of Exeter, to declare whether he was satisfied ., that the prussic acid which he had produced, was actually swallowed. Mr. Cooper replied that he was satisfied ; but confessed himself at a loss to conceive how such a dose could be taken with out destroying life. " Monsieur, give me one half tea-spoonful more, and I will take it," said the Fire-King. " Indeed you shall not," was the reply of half the room ; " you have taken enough for one day at least, and more may be dangerous." " Oh no danger at all," said the Fire- King ;" but if the public are satisfied, so am I. But now let us see whether my prus sic acid or that of Mr. Cooper is the strongest." The strength of the contents of the two vials were then examined by some medical gentlemen who were present, and they all agreed that the Fire-King s poison was the stron ger . A y oung surgeon who ci was present observed that neither of them was highly concentrated. lie had known four drops as strong as that belonging to the Fire-King administered medicinally in a case where the patient was yet alive ; still a spoonful of it was enough to kill three or four men. Here a proposal was made to try the strength of it on sonic animal, and a cat, which was playing iu Mr. Welsh's shop, was selected for the experi went. The feelings ofpart of the spectators re volted against this as an unnecessary piece of cruelty ; but one of the medical gentlemen ap peared determined to be convinced that there was no deceit practised, and accordingly poured four drops of it down the animal's throat, compress ing its mouth tightly for a few seconds after he Though we are ourselves satisfied that the Vire-King took the poison from the same vial from which the dose was afterwards taken which killed the cat, still we must not conceal, either irom Chahert, or from the public generally, :hat the exTeriment yesterday was not quite so satisfactory as some of his friends in the room .ieerned to imagine. It might be—we are far from saying ch•.cvtm thinking that it was—but it night be that Mr. Cooper %Yes in concert with Vii. Gaubert easy than to ; hthtb a ei t e d o , if inn poison iquid), to be exel t :a r t o lgl i t i l n f i olarrc:rist ether 1:1 ) v o r n n g- 11 w ess o t ul Co l l: I: 11 ; e: sion required. Now it so happened that day the Fire-King gave the vial back to fr. Cooper, from which he poured the dose sup posed to be prussic acid; that Mr. Cooper, on receiving it, put it into his pocket, and that some time after, when he WAS requested to try the strength of the poison on the cat, he took chit a vial of a similar form, from which four drop=: were poured out, which destroyed the enimara life. Now, though we have no doubt that it was the same vial, it is possible that it might he a different one ; and, to render the experiment quite satisfactory, the vial from which tlo; Fire- King pours the poison should be deposited opt the table, in view of the company, whilst 110 empties the spoon, and afterwards part of !t4P contents of that same vial should be tried on the unfortunate animal whose fortune it is to be sa crificed to the curiosity of the company. Thil was not done yesterday,—and so far the experi• meat failed in being completely satisfactory. We have no doubt that, on same future occasion, this modern Mithridates will make such arrange ments as will deprive the incredulous even !!)1 those natural scruples ; and'tlrat he will suecad. in convincing the whole world, which he has challenged, that there is as little doubt about the reality of his taking a tea-spoonful of prussic acid, as there is about the reality of his swallowing 40 grains of phosphorus without injury. We heard it stated in the yoom that TA. Cha bert either has; or fancies that he has, discovered a remedy for hydrophobia. tie has not yet, we understand, brought it to all the perfection which he desires ; but he feels confident that in six' months he will be able to let a mad-dog bite him without suffering any other injury than !hat which would be inflicted by the bite of a dog mad.
