Fl . ve OPPICERS DESPERATELY WOUNDED.--Yesterday evening Bethnal-green and its neighbourhood was a scene of considerable riot and confusion, produced by many hun dred journeymen weavers and others, by whose lawless proceedings many of the houses of the inhabitants have been considerably injured ; and in addition to which we regret to state that five men belonging to the Bow-street Patrol have been desperately wounded ; one of them now lies at the point of death. 'Workmen have begun to pull down the hand some and substantial houses in Pall-mall, which stand be tween the new Athenaeum Club Howe, and the edifice occupied by part of his Majesty's establishment. The .alterations in the area of Corent•gurden roarltet are proceeding rapidly, and in good earnest— those on the north-side being needy completed, and the workmen being now employed upon the south. - - The value or character is exct edingly dimin ished when we see the facility with which it is obtained, and the thickness with which it is laid on in pro portion to the demerit of the object.

SPITALFIELDS WEAVERS. TWYFORD and Mr. BROUGHTON, the Magistrates of Worship street Police-office, were occupied during the whole of yesterday, in the examination of journeymen weavers, charged under the 6th Gen. IV., ch. 129, with having entered into a conspiracy, and endeavoured by threats and intimidation to force their employers to an al teration in their mode of carrying on trade as silk-maau facturers. John Alita, James Shipman, William Holdliam, Joshua Lewis, and Thomas Butler, jun., were first brought forward for re-examination, on the charge of Mr. Ambrose Moore, of Milk-street, Cheapeide. Mr. C. Phillips, assisted by Mr. Bruttun, attended to defend them. The defendants, it appeared, urged their employer strongly to a compliance with the resolutions of the trade, stating that, by compliance, be might avert the conse quences ; and that if he did not comply, they could not answer for the safety of his works. lie distinctly under stood from them, th it if he did not accede to the proposed terms, his works would be sealed up or destroyed. Their demeanour on each occasion, however, was respectful. The looms of Mr. Moore's work-people were sealed up on Friday night as threatened; and on Saturday night, after the second interview, when he was informed that the works had been sealed, the silk in two looms was destroyed. The evidence having been taken, the magistrates, after a private consultation, convicted all the defendants, and sentenced them to three months' imprisonment. William Hunter, Josiah Bird, and Joshua Shep pard, were then charged with a similar proceeding against Messrs. Tarrant and Co., of Steward-street, Spitalfields. Mr. Henry Tarrant proved that the three defendants waited upon him on Friday, with a written paper pro duced, to the effect— " That at a Shop-meeting held at the Three. Sugar loaves, William Hunter in the chair, the meeting agreed with the resolutions of the trade for sealing the works of those masters who refused to pay within ten per cent. of the book-prices of 1824. (Signed) " War. BURROUGHS, See." The men treated him very respectfully, and Hunter, who presented the paper, lamented that they bad been obliged to come to such a resolution, of which he greatly dis approved. MAGISTRATE-Did he express regret that you had not complied, or that he should be the bearer of such a reso lution? Witness—He regretted that the weavers had gone to such extremes, and also that I had not complied. The three defendants were sentenced to three months' imprisonment. The convictions, however, were appealed against. A number of similar cases were adjourned at a late hour. His MAJESTY entertained a select party to dirtier yesterday, at his Palace in St. James's. The Duke of CUMBERLAND, the Princess Aunt:STA, and the Duke of Ont.Earts, visited the KING yesterday. The Duke of WELLINGTON had an audience •eeterday of the Ktsc.

They were marched, the cavalry by troops, and the infantry by corn pauies, before the above-named party ; they next passed in review by files. During the review the Duke of WELLING TON was thrown from his horse ; his Grace did not appear to have experienced any material inconvenience, but re mounted his horse, and, at the conclusion of the Review, rode slowly through the Parks to his residence in Downing street. The Duke of ORLEANS was habited in a plain dress, and wore the cordon bleu; the Duke de CHARTRES appeared in regimentals. Their Highnesses left the Park in company with Viscount BERESPORD, Lord HILL, and other military officers, and were escorted to their hotel in. Jermyn-street. Shortly after their arrival their Highnesses entered their carriages, and proceeded to the residence of the Duke of WELLtiGTor,ito make their inquiries after the , health of his Grace. The Princess AUGUSTA, and several of the Nobility and Gentry, went to learn the state of the Noble Duke.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.---(`PHIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. THE XING V. THOMAS WESTVVOOD. • The arguments in this caw which came before the House and the Twelve Jqdges, in Error, were re sumed ais mornio;c. The principal question in the case ws., I,!z.4ther the corporation of Chipping Wycombe, in the county of Bucks, had a right to make a bye-law, under the charter of Charles the Second, whereby the Mayor and Common Council, without the concurrence of the rest of the Burgesses, might elect a Burgess. The defendant was elected under the bye-law a Burgess. In 1819, an infor mation in the nature of a quo warranto was ex hibited against hint in the Court of King's Bench and others; to this the defendant pleaded. The Chief Justice had very great doubt as to the power of the corporation to make the bye-law. Mr. Justice Bayley thought it invalid. The other Judges were of an opposite opinion, and a writ of error was brought. The Judges took time to consider the case. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) 11AY MARKETS.—(At per Load of 36 Trusses.) ST.

TUESDAY, MAY 26.—The interest excited in the Cup Race to-day was little inferior to that existing on the St. Leger yesterday, the greatest anxiety being afloat as to how the renowned Velocipede would acquit himself. It will be recollected that for last year's Sr. Leger he was an um manse favourite, and that having been a perfect flyer at York, be was beat in a canter at Doncaster, insomuch that it was threatened to put him by for stock; it being dis covered, however, that he was not up to the mark in the St. Leger, the matter was reconsidered, and he was en tered for some Stakes this year, and, with what judgment, will he seen below. It certainly was Isold work to try him against such approved good horses as were entered in the same race, and the known tenderness of his legs made the experiment of starting him a ticklish one. The attendance was respectable, without being by any means crowded. There were present the Marquises of Cleveland and Sligo; Lords Kelburne, Scarborough, Long ford ; Sirs Bellingham Graham, W.

Powlett's Penhill Mr. Earnshaw's Elastic, by Waverley Lord Scarborough's ch. f. by Pilgarlic Mr. Ridsdale's Donation, by Borodino 5 This being the first appearance of Voltaire for this season, the betting was interesting, and his running looked for with consider able anxiety. It was much regretted, however, that Sir Hercules was not suffered to start, as the clew to the great St. Leger would have been more complete. The odds, before starting, were :3 to 1 on Voltaire, who jumped off in front, kept the lead, and won in a canter, rode by J. Day ; Penhill by Edwards, Elastic by Temple man, Pilgarlic by Nelson, and Donation by Scott. The Gold Cup, value 10a guineas. Two miles. Mr. Armitage's Velocipede, 4 yrs Mr. Yarburgh's Laurel, 5 yrs Lord Cleveland's Nonplus, 5 yrs 3 Lord Kelburnc's 'A etE2Oll, aged sto 4 agst Laurel, and 11 to 8 agst Velocipede. Laurel led to the stand, where the othericame up, and a fine race ensued be tween all; but Velocipede, rode by Nelson, won by half a length. Nicholson rode Laurel, Chifney, Nonplus, and Edwards, Actaeon. Sweepstakes of 30 sovs.• each, for two-year-olds. T.Y. C. Duke of Leeds's ch. f. by Blacklock Lord Scarborough's b. c. by Catton- 2 Mr. Western's b. c. by Waxy Pope Eight others started, but were not placed. 95 to 10 agst Splen dour, 3 to 1 agst Emmeline, 6 to 1 agst the winner, S to 1 agst Emilie. After the usual pranks and false starts arising from a large field of youngsters, they went off nearly abreast, offering a most imposing spectacle. The Duke of Leeds's and Lord Kel burne's soon got in front, and led to the Gravel-pits, where the latter gave way to Mr. Western's and Lord Scarborough's ; the Duke's filly suffered herself to be headed for a moment, but speedily resumed her lead, and won rather cleverly by half a length —rode by R. Johnson ; Lord Scarborough's by Nelson, and Mr. Western's by Garbut. This race will have considerable influence on next year's St. Leger. . The Filly Stakes of 20 sous. eseli, for three-year-olds.

The others could not live the pace. The winner rode by Conolly, Juliana by Scott, Dora by Lye, Sykes's by Johnson, Powlett's by Edwards, St. Paul's by Day, and the other by Nelson.

Tiv.: new views opened for inspection at this delightful 1 . ..7.hi;,iti0n are en: Interkr ctf Et Peter's at Rome, and the Vii/gfie Thi!rs in France. The first is painted, we u-Iderst4ml, by Mr. liourox, and does him infinite credit. Thu rirw is ta%en .Tparently ft:an the entrance of the C..thalral oppo,ite the choir, lookiny; up the great aisle, aid is only terminated by the canopy of the confession of St. Peter, beneath which the great altar is placed. The chief points to be admired in the painting, are the admir able distribution of the lights which fall between the lofty columns at the further end of the aisle, enlivening with a still mellow radiance all that comes within their sphere, in a way that cannot fail to excite astonishment. The stupen dous character, however, of the original is lost; no art, in fact, could give it, notwithstanding that the painter, with consummate tact, hss endeavoured to impress the immense height and space of his building on the beholder, by repre senting in very reduced size a groupe ef friars and pilgrims prostritting themselves before the sacred throne. The chaste but splendid floor is inimitably pourtrayed ; and the long perspective which almost rivals Maames attempts in that Iine—MARTIN, the finest and most triumphant master of space that the modern world has seen, or is likely to see for years—is so spirited, so easy, so perfectly and abso. lutely real, that the spectator is in momentary expectation of seeing some monk, nun, or pilgrim passing out from behind the columns, and up the aisle towards him.— Altogether the painting has hut one defect, which, as we said before, is unavoidable; it wants size, and so far verisimilitude. The French Village, in a different style, is equally good. The time at whiekthe spectator is supposed to view it is eat ly in the morning, the thin grey transparent mist of which yet hangs on the mountains that surround the village, shrouding their rugged sides in a gos samer sort of drapery, through which the more distant perspective is beheld. In the foreground, the little unas suming cottages that form the village, stand clearly and gracefully out, one in particular, with the smoke stream ing up perpendicularly from its chimney-top, is full of life and spirit. On one side is a little bridge thrown over a brawling rocky glittering streamlet, for the rushing of whose waters the spectator might almost be tempted to listen ; and on the other, a mass of fine umbrageous foliage, whose clear healthful green (to use a hacknied, but in this instance an appropriate phrase) it is quite refreshing to look at. Taken as a whole, the Diorama of this year may be pron. - minced fully equal to any of its ingenious pre d,ce.sors. We slwubl not omit to mention the very tasty way in which the entrance-hall is fitted up; itis simple but elegant, and suited to its season. COVENT-GARDEN. The Printers' Pension Society had, as it deserved, a full and successful benefit last night. The following Address, written by W. T. 111olsenrerr, Esq. was delivered by little KEELEY, in the character of a Printer's Devil. (Speaks behind the Scenes.) What ! I go on, and thank the gentlefolks ! Go on the stage ! A plague upon your jokes,— 'I cannot do it—l should die with shame ! Well, if I must—mind, you shall bear the blame. (Enters cleaning a Printer's Ball.) Ladies and Gentlemen—l beg your pardon For thus appearing here in Covent Garden ; 'Tie not my fault—l'd rather be at home, But I was by the Printers prtss'd to come. Having got all they can from you—'tis civil— For thanks they coolly leave you to the Devil! Start not—the Printer's Devil ! that ii me, No blacker than I'm painted, as you see, The Devil—that with Faust the first of Printers (Called Doctor Faustus) hail such odd adventures. Every thing's thrown on me, but you shall bear— Master, you know, commands the overseer, The overseer lie lords it o'er the men, The men they fig the 'prentices, and then The 'prentices blow me up—that's not civil— So good or had, all's laid upon the Devil! For every thing they want the pressmen call me, And if I do not answer they black-ball me. Nay, with abuse the very Authors cram me, And when I go for copy, curse and damn me ! Still 1 must speak a good word for the knaves, Although they use us worse than Turks do slaves. For if the Devil does not have pity, they Will rarely stew—there'll be the deuce to pay. Gentlemen of the Press, I ask your aid To aid those who aid you—you're all oue trade— Excuse my freedom, but you must agree' The British Press in all parts should be free ; And where, I'll ask you, would be your reports, If the Compositors were out of sorts? The ponderous words from many a learned head, That you take down, they put in kindred lead ; Give your notes value—measure out your rhymes, And yield "its form and pressure to the Times." The Press, great engine of all human . good y The widest spread the easiest understood,— Which knowledge circulates from pole to pole, Corrects the heart, improves and charms the soul'. To which unnumbered blessings owe their birth, Which yields an immortality on earth ! Oh ! of its members pardon each transgression, And let their merits make a good impression ; Nor your kind patronage to those refuse, Who're galley slaves to furnish you the News.— When press'd by poverty, and chas'd by care, Laid-up, and off their metal—in despair ! In worn-out case—and burthened hapless elves, Too oft with types in minion of themselves; What aid shall soothe their wants and charm their grief? Our PRINTERS' FUND, which yields to all relief; Which Pensions age, gives to desert its due, But which still owes its best support to you. Will you support it still and grant our suit— Bestow your aid, and your applause to boot ? Yes, from your presence here, a proof I pull, We Printers like to see our loxes full. 'Tis all correct, no chance can now defeat us, So without bodkin, I'll make my quietus. IN VESTMENTS FOR CAPITAL. At a time when money has become of little or no value (for our country readers should know that it is impossible to get two per cent. for the unemployed capital), and the funds so high that it is as impossible not to contemplate a re-action, it appears quite extraordinary that the only, and certainly the best resource, for those who would render their capital quite secure, have not availed themselves of the few opportunities to invest in land. The position we take up is not one of a doubtful nature; for it is manifest to the weakest imagination that a warlike message froM Russia, or any great Potentate, would, of necessity, re duce the price of the funds 20 per cent., while it is equally obvious that the same cause would increase, and in the exact same proportion, the value of land.— The funds only produce Si per cent., and with the fear ful apprehension of one-fifth of the principal being reduced by the cause we have alluded to, and land (the staple commodity after all) is selling to pay the same rate of in terest. It is therefore inconceivable how the great Capi talists can hesitate as to the course they ought to pursue: to illustrate this position let us look at the facts as they pre sent themselves. We will suppose the peace to continue, and two angry messages to arrive this or t✓ie succeeding year (that is at all events allowing a great extent of time.) What will be the consequence ? it is morally impossible in the present state of commerce that a rise of one per cent. can take place, and if the reverse of our position occur, the funds must necessarily descend 20 per cent. Who then can hesitate? It might have been argued a little time ago that nothing eligible was in the market ; our columns, to-night, show that such reasoning will not apply at this moment, for (with the exceptioa of the Marquis of ORMONDE'S) the largest Estates that ever came to public competition are to be sold in the ensuing month and in July. We shall watch the result of these Sales, in order to see how far our reasoning is in accord ance with public opinion. The Sales of Lord ORIIONDB, which were under the special direction of Mr. GEoitoE Roams, demonstrated the increasing value of land. The Property announced this evening is consigned to the dis cretion of the same gentleman. This is a singular and flattering coincidence. The spring having (though late) at last made it: , first appearance this season (adopting a theatrical phrase), although rumour had been busily afloat that it was postponed to the ensuing season, our columns this evening give a cheering prospect to those who would now recreate in the country utter a long and tedious winter. The comfortable abode and delightful grounds of the late Lady ROBERT . 31ANNERS, at Sutton; Sir STAMFORD RAFFLES' beautiful place at Highwood Hill; the late Lord NORTHWICKS splendid park and domain at Harrow, with many other v]las adjoining; Grove Palk an d M r . N EILD ' S elegant residence both approximatin g upon the Duke of DEVONsunth's, near the Horticultural Gardens, Chiswick), Kingswood House and Park, beyond Dulwich ; Park Hill, near Clapham, &c. &c., are all announced this evening to be sold next mouth GEORGE Roars. DESTRUCTION OF OXFORD-s 1 RUT BAZAAR. A little before four o'clock in the afternoon of yesterday, an alarm of fire was given from the Dio rama picture gallery, which is only divided from the stands by a thin partition, and immediately after wards the whole of the company rushed out. The scene of confusion and terror that subsequently took place it is impossible to describe. The company which were promenading the walks having only themselves to attend to, soon gained egress to the s treet ; not so the proprietors of the different stands, who strove to save their property. In this, how ever, they could not succeed, owing to the rapidity of the flames, which soon gained such an acen daney, that all idea of preserving the building be. came hopeless. On the first alarm, the parish en gine was sent for, which arrived very shortly, ac companied by a number of constables. A detach ment of Coldstream Guards was sent from Portman street barracks, for the purpose of assisting the con stables in preserving order, the thoroughfare being so great, and such vast multitudes having assem bled, that the firemen found great difficulty in play ing their engines. A party of the patrol also W.- tended from Bow-street office. About twenty minutes after the fire broke out, the building was one mass of flame, which is not surprising consider ing the inflammable materials composing it. For tunately, a plentiful supply of water being obtained, the engines, amounting to 10 or 12, were enabled to play upon the destructive element with such effect, as to prevent it communicating to the ad joining houses. Before five o'clock the Bazaar tray reduced to a heap of ruins, not 201. worth of pro perty being preserved. The fire originated, as supposed, from some spirits of turpentine commum* eating to a beautiful transparency in the Diorama, representing "The Destructiim of York Minster by Fire." The Bazaar was the property of 'Nlr. Ham let, the jeweller, who let it out to the proprietors of the stands at so much a foot. The property de , stroyed consisted of the paintings in the Diorama, of which there was a choice collection belonging tts different individuals, who placed them in the gallery of the• Bazaar for exhibition; fancy metchandize of every description composed the rest. We uml:r -stand the building was insured in the Sun Fire office, but we believe no part of the goods which it contained was insured. The building cost, we be lieve, above 10,0001.; and it is said that the pro perty therein, which is all reduced to rubbish, was of the value of 10,0001. more. The houses in the close vicinity of the building are damaged more or less. Vast numbers of pickpockets were at the scene of devastation, and notwithstanding the vigi lance of the officers several petty robberies took place. (LATEST PARTICULARS.) Although the probability of the tire f!xtendhig self beyond the site of the vast building in uhich ..; commenced had ceased at an early how'. Yet it was found necessary up to midnight to keep th' o Ott three engines constantly playing upon the smoulder- - ing heaps of inflammable materials contained therein. The property destroyed was formerly a workshop and carriage depository, in trite occupation of the well-known coach-builder, Mr. Leader, at II" , hie!! time it had entrances from Oxford-street, 01511 e, street, Winsley-street, and Wells-street. Havins been bought by Mr. Hamlet, the entire area was cleared, and a bazaar and exhibition rooms erected en its site. Fortunately for the owners of the surround ing property the walls were built of a thickness pro portionate to the large area they enclosed, and the roof having fallen in soon after the fire commenced, the flame was left without a vent, and wus easily kept tinder by occasional exertions of the firemen. Mr. Rawliason, the magistrate, vas on the spot till a late hour. At his suggestion a fresh body or soldiers were ordered to protect the premises, in the place of the party which had previously retired, SUICIDE. Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was taken be fore Mr. GELL, at the sign of the Marquis of Granby, South Andley-street, on the body of a young matt (name unknown), apparently about 25 years of age, who shot himself through the head with a horse pistol, in Kensington-gardens. William Everard, gatekeeper of the Grosvenor gate, Kensington-gardens, stated that on Monday afternoon last, between six and seven o'clock, he heard the report of a pistol, about 100 yards front his gate. On going to the spot, he found the de ceased lying on the ground, bleeding and quite dead ; he had a small foreign horse-pistol lying on his breast. He immediately called for assistance, and Lord Grosvenor came up, and saw the body. His Lordship said he would give orders at Mount-street workhouse to have the body removed. Witness never saw the deceased in his life before. The beadle said that every inquiry had been made, but they could not discover who the unfortunate man wag. He was dressed in shabby black. The only thing found upon him was a cotton pocket handkerchief, and some snuff in a paper, and a book and pencil. The pistol and the book were produced ; in tlic book was written in pencil,/ " Thomas Colbeck, aged 25." It was entitled the " Book of Fate," translated from the German, a silly catchpenny for tune-telling book, stated in the preface to have been obtained from the cabinet of curiosities belonging to Buonaparte during the confusion at the battle of Leipsic, after the defeat of the French army, and also affirming that the Emperor always consulted this oracle before he determined upon any enter prise. Directions are given how to work the dif ferent problems, and it was evident on a blank leaf in the book the unfortunate man had been consult ing this oracle, from the marks he had been making, according to the directions. This being the whole of the evidence, the Jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased shot him self in Kensington-gardens, but whether he was sane or insane at the time, there is no evidence to prove." THIEVING EXTRAORDINARY.—We have all beard of the wonderful magpie, that had an unconquer ablepenchant for appropriating to itself the property of others; for which an innocent "maid was made to hear the blame; which constitutes the ground-work of a ver:• tole rable drama. The jackdaws of the now roofless monas.. tery of Helyrood, appear to bear some resemblance to this celebrated magpie, for they have also their thieving pro pensities. A few days ago one of these " bold outlaws" actually carried off several yards of lace; which being oh served, a toldier undertook to scale the walls and recover the lost property. To his surprise he found the following articles in the nest :—One black worstead stocking, one silk handkerchief, one frill, a child's cap, and the iden tical piece of lace which was the cause of this discovery.— Several other articles were also found ; but in such ,e mutilated state, that they baffled even antiquarian re search to give them " a local habitation and a name."— Caledonian Mercury. About a month since a man named JOHN LAwt.xss, a herd on the demesne of Loan CLIFDEN, it Gowran, in endeavouring to catch a cat which had got into a lime-kiln, was bitten by the animal on the index finger of the left hand. The wound, which appeared trifling healed in a few days, and excited no concern. However, at the expiration of a month, LAWLESS waa seised with a pain in the fore arm, which afterwards ex tended to the shoulder. The poor man being subject to a rheumatic affection, supposed it to be merely an attack of that nature; but on the second day the pain became vio lently acute, and he sent for Surgeo❑ NY.WELL, the medi cal attendant of the Dispensary in Gowran, who, on ex amination of the case, found it to be of the most alarming kind. In the evening symptoms of hydrophobia began to appear, and at an early hour next day, a medical prac titioner from this city was called in, who, on seeing the patient, agreed in opinion with the former gentlemen as to the nature of the disease, and that no hopes could be entertained of the man's recovery. Every effort which medical skill could devise was resorted to, and with the effect of producing a consi,lerable diminution of the dreadful sufferings which afflicted the wretched patient. He expired on the third day (Wednesday), and has left, we understand, a wife and six children to lament his loss. Itigcrerator.
