On Saturday, at noon, a man about 30 years of age, dressed like an artizan, rushed into a baker's shop, in High-street, \Vhitechapel, and snatching a large carving knife, ran with it into the Bull's Head and made his way hastily up stairs. A boy, who was sent after him, found him in an upper apartment, stretched on the floor, with his head nearly severed from his body, and the knife lying by his side. Life was not quite extinct, but he lived only a few mo ments. A great multitude collected round the house until the corpse was removed to the workhouse, A Jury was yesterday summoned before J. S. UNWIN, Esq. the Deputy Coroner, to hold an in quest into the distressing circumstances, and after a short consultation they returned a verdict that " the deceased cut his throat while in a state of temporary derangement." On Saturday, Captain Robert Irwin, of the Royal Navy, put a period to his existence at the Bull Inn, Bishops - gate, by hanging himself to the bed-post with his neckerchief.

Ott Saturday night last, a man of the name of Tyler, who keeps a circulating library in Cow. cross, Smithfield, and his wife, were brought before Mr. LAING, the sitting Magistrate, in custody of Edwards and another, both officers of this establish meat, upon a warrant, to answer the complaint of the parish authorities of St. Sepulchre's, for circu lating and selling indecent prints and books. After a lengthened examination in the absence of the parish authorities, the defendants were bound over to appear yesterday, and accordingly the said authorities being then present, as soon as the night charges were disposed of, both the defendants en tered the office. Mr. LAING would not allow the investigation to be made in public on either occasion, and ordered that Duke the officer should clear the room. However, the facts of the case are as follows: The officers produced a great variety of publications, some of which were offered to them for sale by the defendants, and others they found on searching the drawers and shelves in the shop, all of the most in delicate description and immoral tendency,' the very titles of which were too offens!ve arOtShocking to name, although they had been exposit( to the eyes of the public in the windows of the defendant's shop. Tyler being quite an aged man, and impaired in his faculties, was unable satisfactorily to answer the complaint, but his wife, a woman considerably less in years, and possessing little of the mildness and delicacy of her sex, stated, in reply to the inquiries of the magistrate, that she herself (probably with out the knowledge of her husband) had been fur nished with the books in question by a bookseller of the name of Holmes, residing in court, Fetter lane, who had been supplying her for the last four or five years; that she sold and circulated them for hire among persons of every age and of both sexes ; that she even sent them into various parts of the country and to Scotland, whence she received orders to transmit them; and the last order she received, which was last week, and had not been executed, was from a person residing at or near Barnard- Castle. The most revolting feature in the case, and that which deepens the iniquity of it, seems to be —for the reporters could not ascertain the fact— that even the masters and mistresses of public. schools have been supplied with the prints and books above de,cribed. The defendants were bound in their own recogni zance not to repeat the offence, and the books pro duced were ordered to be burnt. William Smith, the landlord of the Three Tuns public-house, in Northampton -street, Clerkenwell, appeared upon a summons, to answer the informa tion of 'William Atkinson, the informer, fur permit ing unlaWful games to be played in his house; and also to answer the complaint of a Mrs. Piper, for an assault. The defendant pleaded guilty to the information ; but the informer requested the Magistrates to hear evidence, as the circumstances were of an aggravated nature. Mrs. Piper then stated that her husband is a watch-finisher, and although he has a young and nu merous family, yet he labours little, and spends the greatest part of his time and most of his earnings in the defendant's house, gambling at cards and baga telle, and drinking, while he neglects his family, and leaves her and his children in a state of starvation at home, and constantly in apprehension of being reduced to the necessity of applying to the parish workhouse for refuge and maintenance. On Thurs day last she found her husband in the tap-room of the defendant's house, playing at cards, while at the same time several other companies were sitting at dominos, and playing at bagatelle. On Sunday afternoon, at one o'clock, she found him so intoxi cated in the defendant's house, that he was unable to stand, and he had been evidently drinking there during the whole time of the morning divine Eervice. At ten o'clock the same night she went, in company with her son, to look for him at the defendant's house. Her son went in, but the moment the de fendant saw him, he ordered him out instantly, and threatened, if he hesitated, to kick him out. She then went in herself, and had just opened the par lour door, when the defendant caught hold of her by the shoulders, and calling her a strumpet, a blackguard, and other such base names, drove her before him along his skittle-ground into the yard, and turned her out at the back door. In consequence of all those circumstances, she was induced to sup port the present information, and prefer the charge of assault. Mr. LAING fined the defendant in the penalty of 51. for suffering gambling in his house, and told him that unless it were paid within 24 , hours, a distress warrant should issue to recover it. Joseph Carriell, an oven-builder, residing in Mit ford-street, Tottenham-court-road, was brought up on a warrant to answer the complaint of his wife for an assault, and also to answer the complaint of the parish authorities of St. Pancras, for deserting her under circumstances of a peculiarly aggravated and revo'ting nature. The wife complained, that on Saturday night having met the defendant in company with his niece, in Tottenham-court-road, she spoke to him, and asked him for some subsistence for herself and three children, who were solely depending on parish re lief, when he desperately assaulted her, knocked her down, and violently kicked her, but some of the police constables having come up to her assistance, he was secured, and taken to Eagle-street watch house, Red Lion-square. He had deserted her and her children for a long time past, and was cohabiting with his own niece. Kimpton, the warrant-officer of St. Pancras, about three months ago took him into custody upon the same charge, and at that time he found him at his lodgings, in Mitford•street, in bed with his niece. Mr. LAING having severely reproved the defend ant's conduct, committed him to the House of Cor rection for three months. on the preceding day, the clerks refusing to give cash for the cheque. Under these ,circumstances, Mr. Anderdon left the banking-house, and imme diately proceeded to his legal adviser, Mr. Truwhitt, of Lincoln's-inn, to whom he made known what had transpired, and gave that gentleman instructions to commence law proceedings against the firm, for the recovery of the balance of his account then in their hands. Mr. Truwhitt, however, instead of com plying with the wish of Mr. Anderdon, wrote to the firm, giving them previous intimation of his client's intention, and stating, that if the cheque for 1,0401., the balance of his account in their hands, were not paid by eleven o'clock on Monday, proceedings would be instituted to compel them. In rept,gto' this communication, it appears no answer has hien' received. Things remained in this situation until Sunday evening, between the hours of seven and eight o clock,while Mr. Francis Anderdon was sit ting at home, two men entered his parlonr, and having stated that they belonged to a lunatic asy lum, said that they were sent there for the purpose of confining him to the house, adding that if re straint was found necessary, they were prepared with the necessary apparatus to enforce their orders. -Mr. Anderdon having expressed the ,utmost nishment at what he had just heard, immediately inquired of the men by what authority they pre sumed to enter his house for such a purpose, upon which one of them drew out a paper, and handing it to Mr. Anderdon, said, " That is our authority for confining you to your house; don't alarm your self, we are not going to take you from hence." Mr. Anderdon read the contents of the paper, whicl. . . - were to this effect : " By the directions of Messrs. A. and J. Anderdon, authorize the bearers to take charge of Mr. F. Anderdon he being insane, and to confine him to his own house, No. 2, York -street, York-road. (Signed) " G. M. BURROUGHS, M.D., " 17, Montagu-street, Russell-square.' On perusing the order, I,lr. Anderdon got up with the intention of leaving the room, but was pre vented by the two men, who, although they be haved with great civility, yet told the gentle Man Who was the subject of the epistle, that he was to consider himself in their safe keeping, and there fore that he was not to leave the apartment without being accompanied by either one or the other of them. Mr. Anderdon, highly indignant at the con duct pursued towards him, immediately threw up the sash of his parlour-window, and called out lus- tily for the watchman. Several of the neighbours hearing the noise, immediately proceeded into the house, and when Mr. Anderdon described the na ture of the business upon which the two strangers had entered his house, they one and all advised him to give the intruders into custody, which advice he at once adopted, and the two " keepers" were ac cordingly forthwith taken to the watch-house. Yes terday the two men, whose names are mentioned above, were brought to this office, and Mr. Ander don, accompanied by at least twelve gentlemen, most of whom . reside in the immediate vicinity of his house, attended. The former gentleman was dressed in rather a ludicrous manner, particularly for such a day as yesterday, wearing on his head a Leghorn hat with a broad brim, more suited certainly for keeping off the rays of a summer's sun than adapted for a day in the month of November. The other portions of his dress also partook of eccentricity of style in the wearer. Air. Anderdon having stated tl:e nature of the charge against the defendants with great perspicuity and clearness, called upon the gentlemen who accompanied him to state whether they, who had known him for several years past, had recently observed in his conduct any thing that indicated symptoms of madness. lie was per fectly aware that he was eccentric in his manners, —foe instance, he wore a hat and had also shoes on his feet of a make and shape that perhaps none of them would like to adopt, yet it was his whim and caprice to wear them, and he did not see on that account that he should be deemed insane and set down as a madman. lie had also purchased pictures, considering himself a pretty fair judge of paintings, and if he had on one or two occasions laid out his money to a disadvantage on a specula tion of this description, it would be hard indeed if on that account he was to be deemed " cracked in the brain ;" for, if that were the case, many indi viduals in London, who considered themselves con noisseurs i❑ the art, and had been unfortunate like himself in the purchase of some paintings, must of course be classed, as he was, in the list of maniacs. In conclusion, he declared that he was perfectly competent to have charge of his own affairs, as he had hitherto done. Mr. Anderdon added, that his object in appearing against the men in custody was for the purpose of showing them that they were not authorized in acting as they had done. He admit ted that they were civil, and did not attempt to lay hands upon him, although they :came provided with a strait waistcoat to put upon him. As the men had acted under the authority of their superiors, he (Mr. Anderdon) on that account did not wish to prefer any charge against them. The gentlemen by whom Mr. Anderdon was ac companied stated, that they bad known him for seve ral years, and were aware that he was eccentric in his manners, and also in his dress, particularly in the latter, from which many persons came to the conclusion that he was non compos menus. They, however, knew to the reverse, and considered that he was perfectly sane, and in every respect compe tent to continue in the exercise of his own affairs. At this stage of the inquiry, Dr. Burroughs came to the office, and having been shown the order, at tached to which was his signature, directing a re straint to be placed on Mr. Anderdon, on the ground of alleged insanity, he admitted that he was the writer of it, and that he had acted on the advice and with the concurrence of Mr. Anderdon's brothers. He also admitted, that previously to his haying written the order, he had not had an interview with Mr. F. Anderdon, so as to be enabled to form a judgment whether he was labouring under insanity, but had relied solely upon the communication made to him on the subject by the brothers of the gentle man alluded to, who assured him such was the case ; and on their assurance he had intrusted the men with the order to the above effect, desiring them at the same time to be most attentive and careful of the gentleman whom they were to wait on with it, and merely to see that he did not injure himself or others, until he (the doctor) called to ascertain the true state of the case. It appeared that the order was placed in the hands of the defendants on Sunday afternoon, and that Dr. Burroughs, conceiving the " patient" to have been under the men agreeably to his order since the preceding night, went to Mr. Anderdon's house yesterday morning with the view of ascertaining and deciding upon the state of that gentleman's mind. On driving up to the door, however, he was in formed that instead of Mr. Anderdon being in the safe keeping of the men who were to have acted in that capacity over him, that gentleman had actually given them into custody, and that all the parties were then at this lffice. Upon this intelligence the Doctor came off post-haste to the office, and the Magistrate, having apprized him of all that occurred there, and of his belief that Mr. Anderdon was sane enough, Dr. Burroughs expressed his intention of proceeding to Lombard -street, to acquaint the Messrs. Anderdon of what had transpired, in order that they mi g h t h ave an opportun ity of attending to explain their conduct in the business. The Doctor, on leaving the office, which was about two o'clock, said that he should return in less than half an bear. PRICE 7D. Up to three o'clock, the hour for dosing, he had no arrived. Mr. CHAMBERS at that hour discharged the de fendants, and Mr. Anderdon left the office with his Friends. THE ARMY.

An investigation of a very extraordinary nature took place at this office yesterday before Mr. CIIAM. nEus, the sitting Magistrate, on the complaint of Mr. Francis Anderdon, a gentleman of fortune, re siding at No. 2, York-street, York-road, in the pa rish of Lambeth, who charged two men, named John Shelly and Thomas Hazord, both in the em ployment of the keeper of a lunatic asylum at Clap ham, with having entered his house on the pre• ceding evening with a view of forcibly confining him therein as an insane person, upon the authority of an order to that effect from a medical gentleman of great respectability. Mr. Anderdon, the complainant in the case, is the brother of the Messrs. Aderdon, partners in the firm of Anderdon and Bosanquet, the bankers, of Lombard -sheet, in whose hands he lodged some portion of hiS property, and they had been in the habit of cashing his cheques, and otherwise acting as his bankers for the last eight or nine years. On Fri day last, however, Mr. Francis Anderdon having sent a cheque to the house in question, the firm re fused to cash it, and, it seems, assigned no reason for the refusal on that occasion. Upon Mr. Anderdon being apprised of this circumstance, he immediately determined on withdrawin g the balance of his account froth the bankers', amounting to 1,040/. ; and, for this purpose, drew out a cheque for that sum, which h e presented himself on Saturday, but the application met with the same fate as those GENERAL ORDERS BY THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE GO- VERNOH-SENZRAL IN COUNCIL.

(Signed) WM. CASEMENT, Lieut.-Colonel, See, to Govt. Mily. Department. TOM CRIBB'S Dwarf died on Friday after noon last, at the Union Anus, Panton-street, Haymarket, aged 38. He had latterly got very fat, and of very lethar gic habits ; his death was, however, occasioned by the rupture of a blood-vessel. He was about three feet five inches in height, and used to wait upon the customers in the parlour, who were generally very kind to him. DROWNING OF A SMUGGLER.—A few days since a melancholy result attended an affair which at once shows the hazard and ingenuity of the English smug glers in the furtherance of their traffic. A man named EDWARD PRESCOTT, a native of Dover, well known from having, by the accidental bursting of a gun, lost one hand some time since, was discovered lying dead on the sand in the upper part of Calais harbour on Wednesday morning : two pieces (S cot k were affixed, one on his chest, the other on his back, and some small casks and packets con taining cotton and thread, with lashing, floating near him. It is conjectured that, in order to evade the officers of Douane in introducing this prohibited article into France, he had committed himself and cargo to the water, from some craft at the entrance of Calais harbour, in the night, when the tide was running in, and had floated up with his head just above water more than half a mile; that be coming exhausted and overcome with cold, and probably entangled among the pillars of a wooden bridge across the harbour, from which having but one hand, he was un able to extricate himself, he consequently perished. It is supposed he had a partner in the business, whose opera tions upon a like plan were successful. PRESCOTT has left a wife and several children. BARNSLEY, THURSDAY NIGHT. This once-flourishing manufacturing market-town is now as quiet as a country village. I have just returned from a meeting of the unemployed weavers, held on Barebones; and although it is now about twenty weeks since they have had any employment, they appear as determined as ever to stand out, should they, their wives, and families, perish with hunger. At the meeting, this afternoon, the 2d of June list was exhibited, on which three cheers were given, and they all decided that they would forfeit their existence sooner than work for any prices less than those. One of the weavers, named JAMES NEWTON, addressed the meet ing at considerable length. A resolution was passed that no journeyman was to work with any " black sheep," and that all strangers coming to the town should be urged to pursue the same course. They declared, that if they 'were to be taken to York Castle, they were prepared to go there cheerfully. After 'being exhorted to keep the peace, the meeting adjourned ter the fallowing day.... York Berabi, We find with much pleasure that the opiniong we have expressed of an actual improvement, in the woollea trade have been publicly confirmed by a gentleman whose authority no one will di,- pute---,namely, Mr. Gervase Walker, the well known trustee of the Leeds Cloth flails. Mr. Walker stated, at the dinner on opening the Leeds Commercial Buildings, on Wednesday s that an improvement had already taken place in the trade, and that . he expected a still further improvement. The candour and openness of this intelligent manufacturer are highly honour able to him. There is a too general proneness in mercantile men, when their trade is labouring under difficulties, to give way to feelings of des pondency; they feel their embarrassments so acutely, that they lose hope, and imagine every thing is going to ruin. They are even impatient with those- who recognise and proclaim the early symptoms of improvement, and think those the most honest and trust-worthy persons whose complaints are the most loud and unmeasured. They are in precisely the same situation as a man labouring under a.nervous disorder, who, thqugh really ill, imagines himself still worse than he is ---who, as the complaint has seized upon his nerves and spirits, fancies every thing that is distressing and dreadful—who will not be per suaded that there is no danger, and only needs time antl!care to re-invigorate his constitution, and is clownright .tulgry..vvith all who show him the unrtageriableness of his fears--whose ness of spirits, though at first an effect of indis position, becomes a positive disorder in itself, and the cause of - increased illness—and who, if he could but be persuaded to take heart and hope, would find himself already half cured. We are very far from denying or concealing the oppressive difficulties under which trade has been, and still is to a great degree labouring. The depreciation of all commodities within the last ten months has been ♦ery great, and must have severely .tried the merchants and dealers, who had considerable stocks of goods. Those who have continued to manufacture or to sell have done it to little or no profit, and often to heavy loss. Foreign markets have been glutted, and the home market has been dull and insecure. Money has been extremely scarce, and bad debts fearfully abundant. No acknowledged improve ment has vet taken place in prices or wages. We have watched this state of things with anxious attention, and whilst in our capacity of Editors, whose duty it is to inform the public accurately, we have always communicated the results which very extensive means of informa tion have made us acquainted with, we have been most desirous of witnessing some change for the better. In all our communications concerning the state of trade, we have represented what we believed to be the simple truth. We could have no motive but the public good. And if' we per. ceived and proclaimed the first dawnings of im provement andbeforeent m th e e r y ca h n 'e t r ie elfet?olthd. we can now appeal ima; nufacturing appeal to notorious facts, and to the evidence of practical men like Mr—Walker, acquainted with the trade of the whole district, in confirmation of the accuracy of our statements. _ We utterly deny that there is any wisdom, propriety, or patriotism in representing things as worse than they are, or in any way disguising the plain truth. When trade declines, it is the duty of a journalist to say so ; when it revives, it is as obviously his duty to proclaim the fact. To conceal or misrepresent facts may sometimes an swer a sinister purpose, but it can promise no honest interest. It is bad to cherish false hopes ; it is, if possible, worse to increase a panic, and to aggravate despondency into despair. We have always, therefore, made known to the people of the Riding, and of the country at large, the real state of trade, according to. the best of our knowledge and belief; and we shall continue to do so. At present it is our pleasing duty to endea your to persuade the mercantile int( rests that there is a real improvement in trade, and to en courage them to raise their drooping heads. For this purpose we point to the state of the Leeds, Huddersfield, Halifax, and Bradford mar kets, where, for several weeks past, a very great quantity of goods has been sold, and, we hope and believe, though with small profit, yet not at a loss. In Leeds most of the mills are fully employed, and the opinion of the trustee of the Cloth Hall must be received as unquestionable evidence of the improvement experienced by the domestic manufacturers bl the surrounding vil lages. An obvious impulse has been received by the trade, and we sincerely hope that the course of improvement thus begun will continue, till the trade of this important district becomes once snore not only brisk, but profitable and flourishing. SIIOCKING CASE.—Yesterday MARY MOR GAN, a girl only five years of age, was carried into the Police-office in a most beastly state of intoxication, and to all appearance dead, her extremities cold, and pulsation ceased. The stomach pump was however applied with excellent effect, and the wretched child is now in a fair way of recovery. This it the fourth case of children whose lives have been saved by the same application within the last month.— Culedonian Mercury.

COUNTY MEETING.—At a general meeting of the county of Perth, held in the Justiciary Hall, the 27th October, ROXIRT SMYTH, Esq., of Methven, in the chair, a committee was appointed to correspond and co-operate with the committees of the other counties of Scotland, for accelerating the mails, and especially for im proving the road betwixt London and Edinburgh, consist ing of the Right Hon. Lerd NAIRNX, the Hon. Baron Sir PATRICK MURRAY, Bart., the Hun. Baron Clerk RAT TRAY, Sir JOHN HAT, Bart., Mr. Sheriff 31'1CP-it, and several otker gentlemen of the county residing in Edin burgh. Mr. SANDXMAN, of Springfield, Governor. It is acknowledged that very great improvements have of late years been effected in these great national objects, and the exertions of the official gentlemen of the post-office have been most praise-worthy. Still some acceleration is practicable ; and assuredly, shortening the road betwixt London And Edinburgh is most important. We have the authority of that eminent engineer, Mr. TILFORD, for saying that about 19 miles can be obtained in one direc tion ; 10 miles in another ; besides smaller abbreviations, in all not less than 36 miles, or nearly a tenth part of the whole distance, which will eventually shorten the corres pondence one day betwixt London and Perth.—Perth Advertiser. - In the Queen's County, on Sunday last, fire policemen, conveying two rioters to a place of cenfinment in the village of Ballyroan, were attacked Lv a mob, and severely beaten.
