LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1829 POLICE INTELLIGENCE. busily engaged on Sunday in clearing the streets of drunken and disorderly persons, and in the second place to an increase of business which has f►llen to this office, in consequence of a part of St. Giles's parish having been placed within the district. WORSHIP-STREET. CR TM. COS.—Yesterday Win. Belnap, a watch max of Shoreditch paridi, and Ann, his wife, were placed at the bar, before Mr. BROUGHTON, charged with being disorderly (for so it was entered in the night-charge book). The male prisoner said, yesterday afternoon, about three o'clock, he went to a circulating library , in the Curtain-road for a book called " The Sea man's Recorder," for his wife to read, and returned in about half an hour, when he found his room door bolted ; he then looked through the bed-room win dow, and, to his great surprise, found his wife in bed with another man; he immediately broke open the room door and thrashed him well with his fist, and kicked him into the street, and afterwards threw his wife out after him. Mr. BROUGHTON—WIIO is the man ? Belnap— His name is Thomas Harden, and he is clerk to_ . the benefit society called the Friendly Gift. Mr. BROUGHTON—Do you belong to that society ? Belnap—l do, Sir ; and he came to my house under the pretence of collecting money for the society. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did you ever suspect him before ? Belnap—No, Sir ; but I have other men. Mr. BROUGHTON—How long ago is it since you first heard of your wife's infidelity ? Belnap— About two years, Sir. Mr. BaouanToN said, he wished to know how it was that Harden was not accommodated with a lodging in the watch-house, as well as Belnap, who had committed no offence ? Johnson, a constable, said be was so violent that he would, no doubt, have destroyed himself, had he not been taken to the watch-house; he was taken there merely for his own safety. The female prisoner said she was drunk when her husband left home, or it would not have happened. Belnap—You were as sober as I era now—l'll never live with you again. Mr. BROUGHTON—WeII, lam sorry you should even have been troubled with such a wife; there is quite enough to justify your parting from her, but you must promise me you will not ill use her. Bel nap—l won't touch her, Sir; nor Harden either. Several persons who were in the office, said they heard the female prisoner say she would hang her self, and put an end to al! her troubles. Mr. BitouGHTos then detained her in the office till her brother was sent for, and she was given ❑p to him. this transaction, that you consider no offence has been committed, because you did not actually serve the beer yourself. In future, therefore, you must be aware that you are responsible for the acts of the person whom you employ in your shop ? The de fendant begged that the ease might be allowed to stand over, in order• that he might bring persons for ward to prove his grieral obedience to the laws. Mr. CHAMBERS—The case has been proved, and you must pay a fine of ss. and costs ?—The defend ant exclaimed, is this justice ? Can you conscien tiously make me pay the fine ? Mr. Hoc —I can tell you if you don't pay it, a distress warrant shall be instantly put into your house. The Magistrate then directed Harris not to omit looking after the defendant's house every Sun. day, and should any thing of a similar,kind happen, to lay an information against him. The defendant ultimately paid the fine, grum bling bitterly at what he called the injustice of the thing. M.ANSION-1-10 USE. Mary Hoper was brought before Alderman WIN CHESTER, charged with having deliberately broken the windows of the Sun and Apple Tree public house, because the landlord refused to give her what would make a complete beast of her. Alderman WINCHESTER ordered the woman to be imprisoned until she should pay for the damage she had committed. ‘ (- 7 ' Z'e,--4--,. /- / ------ 7.,-2 r-r--,------ : V • • • . / 7— c -- ›2 v"----...-....e.e.---1/2 - % • `,:.

After Sir PETER LAURIE had admonished and discharged a disorderly woman, who had been ac cused of being noisy in the street, he asked her ac cuser, a watchman, named Livingstone, where his beat was ? The watchman said, from St. Dunstan's church to Temple-bar. Do you find any increase in the number of bad characters on your beat ? Watchman (smiling)— Yes, I believe I do. The new policemen drives 'em all into the city. Sir PETER—Then you should drive them back again. It would be better than taking them up. When there.was a quarrel among them the other night a policeman came up and drove them through the bar, saying, " Ye shan't stand here—go into the city with your rows." He told him this was wrong, and then the policeman said he would come into the city himself, and he did come through Temple-bar, and walked about, to be as good as his word.— They were often through the bar. Mt. Savage, a Common Councilman, said he un derstood they had often come into the city. On the first night they came on duty one of them pushed a female off the pavement into the street in Fetter lane. A gentleman on the spot remarked that this was unmanly, and the policeman instantly struck him in the face with his staff. The gentleman did not take further notice of this attack. Sir P. LAURIE said, he had heard that a police Magistrate had directed the policemen to drive all the bad characters into the city. If there was any truth in this, it was an imprudent—an improper ob servation. He desired the watchmen present to drive all the bad characters out of the city.—(A laugh.) Subsequently some vagrants were brought up, and Sir PETER told the officer to drive them out of the city instead of apprehending them in future. "We can play at tennis-ball," said the Alderman, in an under tone. BOW-STREEI'. Yesterday Richard Bishop, Mary.his wife, and Robert Bradbzu7 , , were brought forward before Sir BIHNIE for a final examination upon a charge of coining. The evidence taken upon the first exa mination having been read over, Sir IL BIRNIE said that there was no evidence to inculpate the prisoner Bradbury, who, it appeared, was merely found in the room at the time that Bishop was apprehended, and there was no proof of his having been concerned with him. Bradbury WIIS accordingly taken from the bar and became a witness against the other two prisoners. He stated that he had known Bishop for the last three years, and always considered that he got his living by disposing of base money and coining. The witness proceeded to state, that he went to Bishop's lodging on Thursday week, at N o . 23 , S t. Ann's street. He knocked at the room-door between 10 and 11 o'clock on that day. Mary Bishop let him . and he found Richard Bishop, her husband, mixing some plaster of Paris in water for the purpose of making moulds. Witness saw also a 'variety of dif fen cut apparatus for coining, but . he did not see any good pieces for casting from. Witness did not know what particular coin the prisoner Bishop was em ployed in casting moulds for, but the prisoner had previously told him that he had received an order from a man for a quantity of " bobs," which witness knew meant counterfeit shillings. \Witness soon after left Bishop's room, and was standing at his own door, at No. 17, in the same street, when Mary Bishop came to him and asked him to go with her to a public•house at the corner of the street, and take some gin to Dick, meaning her husband. Witness accompanied her to the public-house, and drank some gin which she gave him. She then gave him some gin in a cup, and told him to take it to Dick, and also to bring with him a pack of cards to amuse him %%bile she went to Goswell-street to purchase some stuff. Witness brought Bishop the gin, but did not bring the cards. Having remained some time in the room, witness went away, and returned again about three o'clock, and found Bishop in the room before a large fire, upon which a pipkin was placed, con taining white metal in a liquid state. The prisoner held a tobacco pip in his hand, which lie used to dip into the metal. At this moment, the door being locked, witness heard a noise upon the stairs, and Bishop called out, " Is that you, Polly ?" supposing it was his wife. Receiving no answer, the prisoner took no notice, and began to rub the coin, which he had in his hand, when the door was burst open, and the officers entered and took Bishop and witness into custody. The prisoner Mary Bishop, who from the first appeared dreadfully agitated, fell into a violent fit at the conclusion of the above statement, and was obliged to be carried from the deck into the open air. It was some time before she recovered suffi ciently to take her station beside her husband. The Magistrate ordered her a chair. The prisoner Bishop, pointing to the witness, said, " Your Worship, I wish to inform you that this man is himself a coiner, and has lived by it. — His real name is Rose, and not Bradbury." Sir R. BIRNIE—Is that the case? The witness answered " Yes." The Magistrates then said that the prisoner should have the benefit of the witness's alias. Bishop—l thank your Worship. Thomas Adams was then called forward to prove that Mary Bishop purchased some tin and spelter at the house of his employer on the day that the three prisoners were taken into custody. When the book was offered to the witness he declined to be sworn, on the ground that he belonged to the Society of Friends. His affirmation was accordingly taken.— Upon being told to look at the prisoners, and say if he had ever seen either of them before, he declared he had no recollection of ever having seen them. Mr. Field, the Mint Inspector of counterfeit money, examined the materials found at the lodg ings of Bishop, and declared that all of them were applicable to coining. Upon examining two moulds he declared that one of them bore the impression of a half-crown and the other a shilling. Both of them appeared to have been much used. The white metal produced was the same which was commonly used for making counterfeit money. The prisoner Bishop said that the materials found in his lodging were used in other ways than coining.. Sir P•. ButmE said that he should discharge Mrs. Bishop, and commit her husband for trial. The unfortunate .woman again sunk senseless in the dock, and was carried out of the office in the arms of the gaoler. The Magistrate then ordered the witness to be bound over, and the prisoner Bishop was fully com mitted to Newgate upon the capital charge of felo niously and traitorously having in his possession certain implem ents an d i ngredients used in co i n i ng , with intent to m a k e counterfeit money. The unprecedented number of forty-six night charges were disposed of in the course of the morn ing; Sir R. BIRNIE takin g one half, an d M r . H ALLS the _other. This increase was attributable. first to the active exertions of the new police, who were UNION-HALL. A man named George Rose was brought up on a warrant, charged with the double offence of cruelty to an animal, and threatening to assault henry Weston, Esq., one of the County Magistrates, when he interfered to prevent him. Mr. Weston stated, that on Friday last, as he was passing through Clapham in his carriage, he ob served a crowd of persons assembled on the Common near the road side, and the defendant in the centre in the act of breaking a young colt. The cruel manner in which this was effected drew his parti cular attention ; for although the animal cantered and galloped round the ring without requiring the use of the whip, the defendant lashed it in the most fu rious way, and to such a degree as to leave marks and weals on its sides from the flogging. Mr. Wes ton, conceiving that great and unnecessary violence was used in breaking in so young a horse, alighted from his carriage, and going across to the defendant told him that he was not justified in treating the animal with such cruelty, and desired him to desist. The moment, however, he spoke, the defendant be came exceedingly abusive, saying he should do as he pleased, and when Mr. Weston intimated that he was a Magistrate, and that he should have him taken into custody if he persevered in flogging an animal to such an extremity when there was no occasion, the defendant became still mole insolent, and filially placing himself in a boxing attitude, threatened to punch Mr. Weston's eye, and in fact tried every means in his power to urge that gentleman to a en gage in a pugilistic contest with him. Mr. Weston finding it was quite useless to argue with a man of the defendant's description, satisfied himself with procuring his address, and adopted the expedient of having him punished for both offences at the same time,—namely, for cruelty to the colt, and also for threatening to assault him. The defendant, in answer to the first charge, declared that he was compelled to use the whip in the way represented by Mr. Weston, the horse he was breaking in being of a very vicious nature. Mr. Weston reiterated his former declaration, that the animal performed the round of the ring without exhibiting any viciousness, and that the defendant kept flogging it merely for flogging sake. With respect to the charge of threatening to as sault Mr. Weston, and placing himself in a fighting position for that purpose, the defendant said that he was not aware of the rank of that gentleman at the time, and concluding that he was not a con stable, and that none hut a constable had a right to interfere with him, he had acted in a manner that he was now sorry for. The Magistrates, Mr. CHAMBERS and Mr. HoNE, inflicted a fine on the defendant of 40s. for each distinct offence with which he was charged. Mr. Weston handed his portion of the penalty orer to the poor box of this oflice, from which several dis tressed objects are relieved in the course of the year. William Mann, the proprietor of an intermediate beer shop in Blackfriars-road was summoned for pursuing his worldly calling on the Sabbath. Mark the witness, stated, that on Sunday, dur ing the hours of divine service, he saw several per sons standing under a pent-house, erected in front of the defendant's shop, and also observed that one man in the crowd was served with beer out of the window, which he drank at the time. Mr. CHAMBERS said, that the proprietors of inter mediate beer shops were not justified in keeping their shops open or serving customers at any time during the Sabbath. They were not in the situa tion of licensed victuallers, who had the privilege, owing► to their being licensed persons, to open their houses during the intervals of service, and after it Waft over. The defendant said, that on the day in question he did not serve any person with beer; adding, that he gave his servants strict orders not to sell a thimble-full of the " intermediate" at any time dur ing Sundays. He then called his man, and having questioned him on the subject, the latter admitted that he had served a ram, ‘vho was occasionally em ployed on the premises, with half a pint of " inter mediate" on the day in question, but. that he made no charge for it. Mr. CHAMBERS—That does not matter. It has been sworn that the beer was served at the time specified, and I shall inflict the tine. Defendant— Harris has sworn falsely. It's hard that I should be convicted on the oath of such a man. Mr. Cilamnms—Your own witness has acknow ledged that he served a man with beer, and it is therefore equally unjust that you charge Harris with having peijured himself. You would not like, added the Magistrate, for any person to accuse you of per jury ? Defendant—l keep two intermediate beer shops, and I defy .any person to prove that Lever served a customer on Sundays. I can bring, if it . is necessary, a hundred per sons f orward to disprove that which is alleged against me. . . . • Mr. 0013E11s—it is evident from your view of, HUNGARIAN UNIVERSITIES.--111 the Royal Academy of Presburgh there are 433 students, viz 236 of philosophy, and 197 of law; added to which there are in the Archiepiscopal Lyceum of Turnau 7S students of philosophy, and in the Episcopal L)centn of Waitzen 60. At the Royal University of Pest!' there have been, during the present year, 1,710 students, viz. 73 of theo logy, 581 of law, 401 of inediclne, and 609 of philoso phical science. Of this number 1,213 are Roman Catho lics, 112 Greeks, 63 Protestants of the Augsburg con fession, 140 Rjjorms of the .s;tviss confession, 'arid 15:3 Jews. Lieut,Colonel HopcsoN, of the 42d 'rent of Bengal Native Infantry, returned last week in perfect health to his native place, Bishop Auckland, after an absence of 32 years, on which c,ccio.ion several merry peals were rung on the church hells. Daring his hug so journ in the East Indies, Lieut.-Col. 11. discovered the source of the Ganges in the Himalaya Mountains, fin• which, as well as for various other important services, he was appointed Surveyor-General of India. LEAMINGTON SPA, OCT. 3.—We have had a considerable accession of company since our last, and the arrivals become daily more numerous as the commence ment of the Musical Festival at Birmingham approaches. The Gentlemen cf the Hunt are also congregating here, and in another week or two we expect to have an un usually brilliant assemblage of genuine Nimrods, who will this year make Leamington their head-quarters. At one of the churches in the ciiy of Wor cester, on Sunday, after the banns of matrimony between two persons had been published a third time, a young man rose, and, with " ashy cheek and quivering lip," said, "I forbid the banns." He was in consequence di rected to attend in the vestry after the service. He ac cordingly attended at the time and place appointed, and stated that his reason for forbidding the banns was, that the lady, who was a widow, had, three months before, engaged to marry him! ft was explained to him, that, in the eye of the law ecclesiastical, the reason stated was no "cause or just impediment," but that the common law would afford him its benign assistance in punishing the " viduate dame," who seems to have forgotten the salutary advice of the old song—" Better be off with the old love before you are on with the new." ConK FAIR.—The .P.,..utunmal Fair was held yesterday; it exhibited a convincing proof of the scar city of money, from the few purchas,s made either for the domestic or English Market, as we!! as of the caution observed by the trade, in the expectation of a material tle. cline in price, consequent upon the low terms at which the contracts for the approaching season have been taken. The show of fat cattle was unusually trifling—the holders looked for prices much beyond what intending purchasers offered, and scarcely a sale was made for the Cork Market —none for the English. Mild, cows, always in request by the Liberty dairymen, brought good prices, varying from 6/. to 101. according to engagements. Of Store cattle, the supply was large, but there were little or no bargains made in them. Fat Pigs sold freely for the Bristol Ma ket, rating about 52Ss, per cwt.—Store-pigs from 10s. to 201. each. The Sheep offered, were gene rally of inferior description. Horses, although for sale in numbers, did not meet purchasers—the few sold were of tie working class. Altogether, this fair is reported as one of the most gloomy experienced till• several years.— Cork Mercantile Chronicle of Friday. The Noble Proprietor of the borough of New ark is just now playing off a freak of insolent tyranny among his tenants, which, if we mistake not, will excite one universal feeling of disgust throughout the nation. It - is well known that at the last election for that borough, the Duke of Nnwc.tsTrx. put forward our townsman, Mr. MICHAEL SADLER, as his nominee fur the representation of the place; and that a large body of tha electors —some, no doubt, influenced by an approbation of that gentleman's principles, others by a fear (proved, by the event, to be but too well founded) of the vengeance a their landlord, the Duke—returned Mr. SADLER by a considerable majo rity over his opponent, Mr. Scijeant WILDE. The latter candidate, however, who had nothing but his own high talents and independent principles to recommend him, ob tained a number of votes so large and respectable as to render his defeat, under the circumstances of the contest, at least as honourable as his rival's triumph. The opposi tion which his Grace of NEWCASTLE then experienced seems to have been so much wormwood to his ducal stomach ; and, in order to punish his refractory tenants for daring to vote according to their own tuiderstanding,s and con sciences, he has given more than two hundred of them notice to quit their houses at . Lady-day next. Let any roan fairly consider what must be the sum of absolute mi sery produced by the expulsion of two hundred families from their homes, and he will then be able to appreciate as it deserves the cruelty of this most tyrannical conduct. Many of the persons included in this sentence of banish ment must be tradesmen, who have been labouring with different degrees of success, to establish connexions in Newark, by means of which themselves and their children might obtain their daily bread ; and to expel persons of this class from their shops and houses at half a year's no tice, especially in times like these, must be to drive many of them to insolvency and hopeless ruin. Many, too, have been expending various sums of money upon the im provement of the property they held, never dreaming that they would be liable, for no offence upon earth but the honest discharge of a British Elector's ditty, to such a sudden and rude expulsion. Cases like these now men tioned are no doubt nunicrous; and it is plain that they must involve an enormous aggregate of human suffer ing. We say nothing of tl:e inconvenience and pain which every individual included in this wholesale pro. scription cann o t but feel at being called upnn to quit that which has been a home, and to b:eak up the connections and attachments formed there; because these evils, how ever considerable in themselves, are insignificant in com parison with the heavier calamities to which we have been alluding,,Leeds Mercury; PUBLIC LIBRARIES OF EUROPE.

DEPUTATION TO MR. PEgDEIT Mr. Secretary Peel happening to vls‘ thrtiugh Hinckley, on his way to Druytoa Manor, Warwick Shire, a Deputation from the Framework-knitters of that place waited upon him during his short stay, to represent to him the distressed situation of that town and neighb-ourhood. The circumstance-having become known, numbers of persons assembled about his carriage, and importuned him, in the most eart:est manner, as one of his Majesty's Government, to do all in his power to alleviate their present wretf:!:el state of distress. The following is a copy (.1 n letter presented to Mr. Peel on the occasion, cud his answer thereto:— TO THE RIGHT HON. ROBERT PEEL, M.P., war- TIM' OF STATE FOR THE 110:11E DEPARTMENT. Hoti. SlR,—From your extensive knowledge both of the agricultural and commercial interests of tier. British empire, you cannot be ignorant of the 'gr. t!ral distress which at present prevails in'the manu facturing districts. But though you may have ag(- neral idea of the state of trade, it Is only by local information that you can really know the extent of the evil. With a view, therefore, to give yoU that information respecting the stocking trade in this town and neighbourhood, of which you, as Secre tary of State, ought to be possessed, the frame work-knitters submit to your attentive consideration the following brief statement of the difliculths and distress under which they labour, humbly hoping that you will endeavour, if possible, to redress those general grievances which press so heavily on the commercial interests at large. They are aware that his Majesty's Ministers have great and important demands upon them, and also of the nature of the responsibility to which they are sub jected; but at the same time, as the welfare and hap piness of the country are in a great measure at their disposal, humanity and justice call upon them to act as becomes the dignity of their high station% It is not for the framework-knitters, nor for any body of men, to pretend to dictate, where a cerise of duty ought alone to actuate; and if conscience will - not impel men in power to act agreeably to sound in connection with general utility, it were in vain to solicit relief from distress, or urge, as an additional motive, the claims of equity and benevolence. In Hinckley, the population, according to the last census, is 6,706; out of this number upwards of two thousand receive weekly parochial relief. This is in consequence of time manufacturers having dismissed their workmen, being unable to employ them at prices which would scarcely furnish each family in bread. Upon an average, the weekly earnings of one good framework-knitter has not been more than sic shillings, out of which he has had to maintain a wire and three children. This is no exaggerated 'tato. ment :—facts speak for themselves. The afihrent know little indeed of the miseries of tire poor; and could they for a short period change conditions, per haps seine alteration in the state of affairs might till e place; they would not only see, but feel, the neces sity of something being done. May we be per. mitted, Sir, to ask what is the cause of the present distress and embarrassment of trade ? Is it in the principles of commerce itself?—Who then have the power to correct the abuse ? Is it in the ma of feigned capitalists who exclud e time gene ral of the : labouring aet urer from mechanicmaili market, by ? o st rhler ‘ nc.;eodii.iy manufacturer t ' i pressure ilat of ional deb t t a ? xatio lg n and itin expensive intole ia )!eGboirdE Government. i n is t. which, to support its own dignity, requires the sacri fice of national wealth, independence, and prosperity To whatever cause the effect may be attributed, it is a lamentable fact that it exists. The framewoile knitters speak not for themselves alone, but in behalf of an oppressed and starving population. They call upon you, Sir, if possible, to mitigate their suffer ings,—and as fortune has elevated you to one of the highest stations of a British subject, prove your des cent from that noble and independent lineage, which bade defiance to oppression, and though conquered, never lost that sense of liberty which still graces a British name. In behalf of the framework-knitters of Hinckley, and its neighbourhood, DANIEL BROOKS. THOMAS CLEWS. Hinckley, Sept. 5. , 8, 1529. THOMAS LEIGH. MR. PEEL'S ANSWER. TO 14IESSRS. DANIEL BROOKES AND THOMAi I have read with attention the paper which you delivered to me at Hinckley, on the subject of thy distress prevailing among the manufacturing popula tion in that town and neighbourhood. I deeply re gret to hear that it presses with so much severity upon many of the working classes. The communi. cation made to me shall be brought under the con sideration of his Majesty's Government, and parti cularly of the Board of Trade. His Majesty's Go-. veinment has every motive of inclination .1,1 duty, to adopt such measures as shall be calculated :ea relieve local distress, provided those measures are consistent with the general and permanent interest of the country. Any efforts which can be made by the Government with that view will be materially aided by the patience of the working classes, too by manifestation on their part of a steady resole:. don on all occasions to respect and obey the laws, Drayton Manor, Oct. I, 1829. 11011EHT PEEL, The end of Upper flames -street has been, stopped up by order of the LORD MAYOR.

On Saturday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, a dreadful accident occurred to a little boy of the n.erne of PETEM SMITH, whose parents reside a No. 4, Maidenhead-court, Berwick-street, Soho-square. The unfortunate deceased came by his death under the melancholy circumstances :—The mother, it IMO: Lr having• to go out early in th- morning to wa,b, two children in bed.

Every exertion was used by the surgeons until ten o'clock yetterd..y morning, - when death put a period to its sufferings. A CARD. TO the AFFLICTED with PILES, FISTULA'', &e.
