POLICE INTELLIGENCE. .MR COBBETT AND THE KENSINGTON TRUST. Bow-STREET. —Yesterday at one o'clock, Mr. Levy,, one of tholessees of the Kensington Trust ttimPike-roads, attended brr a.Solicitor, appeared to answer to informations exhibited by 11r. Cobbett against the collectors of for exact ing from divers persons therein named, . three halfpence more than by law allowed. Mr. CObbett attended to conduct his eau, and at the invitation of Sir R. BiaNic took a place on the Bench. When the case was called nn, . the Solicitor for: the lessees stepped forward, and requested that it might stand over until .they could have , the assistance of Counsel. The notice they bad had was very short, and it was a.question of such, vital im portance to the lessees, that be trusted there would be no objee. MI) on the part of the worthy Magistrate to the application for postponement. Mr. Cobbett.—lt is of vital importaneti to the public as well as the lesse6i, and more especially to the poor men, on whose behalf I appear —namely, the proprietors of one-horse carts, who have suffered shamefully by this system of extortion. Mr. Levy.—Why you have never sufered, Mr. Cobbett, and why need you be so warm in the cause.. Mr. Cobbett.--No; because they know me: I have threatened to pull, them up ; and they are therefore glad to take three pence instead of fourpen( halfpenny. Mr. Levy—Why, they let you through for nothing, sooner Than be tronbled with you ; you know that you no sooner show your face, than they call out, " That's Cohbett let him go." Sir R. BUMF said he thought the notice sufficient. The question, although certainly one of great importance, was a very simple one,-and he did not see why it should not be at once tone into. Mr. Cobbett said, that several of the complainants came from a considerable distance, and it would be a greit inconvenience tp thfin to come again. Besides, the lessees, in the mean time, wou ld continue to pocket 61. or 71. a day , wh ich was the least they got by their extortion. Mr. Cobbett amt r. Levy—You are a Jew I suppose. Me. Levy—' a .1 ew, it is true ; but you are neither Jew, Christian, nor any other religion. You are an Athiest, as every body knows. Mr. Cobbett smile d, and observed; that what he had 'ad vanced in this office was strictly true. He had taken up the business only in consequenc.e of an application pooreveral poor men who were sufferers by the system. (inc man alone, a gardener, had paid more than alls. iui ihree-lialiPences within the last few weeks. Mr. Levy.—Then I suppose yoa think he has 30S. the lesi to layout in the.purehaseof.your two-peony trash , and that makes you so warps in the cause. MT. Cobbett (reddening).--You see, Sir Richard 'Ureic, what a passion the man is in. • Mt. Levy said, that with respec t to the inconven i ence to the witnesses, he was willing to dispense with their attendance alto 7 tither, by admitting th e fact of taking four.penee halfpenny, aud..tha ground of their defence would, that they had a right to do so. It was a stipulation in their lease that they haci such a right. - Mr. Cobbett.--I can tell you that you have no such right; the act of Parliament deprives you of it. The,Solicitor for the lessees said, that his clients were held harmless by the statute, and the trustees alone were really re sponsible. • Mr. Cobbett.—What part of the act holds them harmless ? Solicitor.—The 7th clause. Mr.-Cobbett.--It does no such thing. Pray who.ari•yoil? Solicitor.—My name is Drew (we understood.) I have no reason to be ashamed of my name, whatever you may have. Mr.'Cobbett.—You - onght to be ashamed to own yourself a lawyer, for it is plain you do not understand the Act of Par liament. The seventh clause has no more to do with the ques tion at issue than the unfortunate colour of my hair. Mr. Levy declared that they were held haripless by that clause ; and as a proof of it, they had been remunerated by the trustees of other roads when cases had been decided against them so that in fact the lessees could not gain or lose a farth ing by it. • - Mr. Cobbett—l sarthe lessees have gained at least 20,0901. by it. Solicitor—Will you make good all that it falls short of that? Mr Cob bett-No, I should betiorry to undertake any such thing. Mr. Levy said, that he would undertake that between that day and the final decision of the case, the additional three halfpence should not be taken; but of course, if it should be decided in their favour, it would be resumed. They only wanted time to meet the question properly. Mr. Cobbett—Time ! you have had time enough. I told one of your men I meant to pull you all up. Mr. Levy asked what man ? Mr. Cobbett.—How can I remember the face of any one of your men, when you change them every two hours ? Mr. Levy.--But you could have seen his name over the door. Mr. Cobbett.---I did not look for his name, for I did riot think such a step necessary; but I give you my word I told him so. Mr. Levy.—Your word! what is your word worth ? You have been talking for these three years about your Gridiron, but you are not broiled yet. Mr. Gobbet,--No, nor crucified neither, nor de I wish to be. Mr. bery—Perhaps not ; but you might be, without in justice. Sir R. BIRITIE said he could not help thinking the propo sition of Mr. Levy al** one ; and if Mr. Cobbett had no very powerful objeCtion to offer, the case should be postponed. Mr. Cobbett.—Oh, in God's name, let them have the bene fit of Counsel ; do not deprive the gentlemen of the benefit of Counsel. Mr. Levy said the evidence of one person who had paid would be sufficient;' one ease would, of course decide all the rest. Mr. Cobbett.—Oh but that won't do. I want to get all these poor men their money beck. Mr: Levy.4.-In order that you may share in it, I suppose. Mr. Sketchley (of Kensington) said, that as he was one of the trustees, he should of course take no Partin the proceedings in his Magisterial capacity. He merely, attended as a person interested in , the question:: and he only , ,wished to observe that he was sure Mr.. Levy wished for substantial justice, and no more. A• • postponement would enable him to have Counsel, and then the question would be fully discussed in all its bearings. • Sir It. Minim said he could , have no objection. He was alwayshappy teaeeCounsel, anti to, receive: from them. Mr. Cobbett said he had no objection to have it postponed, provided it was fixed, for any day on•Which , Sir 11. , Dirniesat. Sir R. BtittriE asked if Monday would suit all parties; and was answered in the affirmative.' Monday, at two o'clock, was then fixed for the hearing. Mr. Cobbett; as he was leaving the bench, said to Mr. Levy, , 4 you are in the wrong, depend upon it; and you had better take my advice, and give it up." Mr. Leiry.--:•Take your advice ! Oh no, Sir, I am not such I fool as that; I would not take your advice for a penny. You have been wanting the people of this country to take your ad. vice for many years, and if they had, we should have been in the hands of the enemy before now. illastsiosr-llonsE.—THE Onrumes or THE POlrAtts SETturrts.—A gentleman connected with a public office at tended the Justice-room and stated; that he had seen the case which had appeared before the public of, the destitute orphans of the unfortunate emigrants to Pupil*, And was ready, if they were girls, to obtain them admission into the Female Orphans' Asylum. • The benevolent applicant received thanks for his offer, but was informeed, that 'the infants were alI three males. Some benevolent lady sent 30s. to be applie d to their use. Since the statement of the case was made to te public, we understand two of them have. been attacked by a disorder similar to that of which, their parents died, a kind of flux, and are so unwell that Captain Antrim has not thought it rodent to apply to the parish officers for their removal from the place where they now are - ' No. 3; Norfolk -street, Blackwell, under the care of a sailor's wife. IhewIIOLESOME SAI.IIIOIC —On Tuesday the LORD MAY oit received a letter, informing, him. that large quantities of unsound and unwholesome fish. were exposed Jro sale at se veral of the . fish stalls in Fleet-market. The disorderly state of the market was also complained of .in the. letter; and it was stated' that` the keepers 'Of the stalls were en independent, that the clerk of the market, avlioae duty it. was to seize all unwhole- Some article's exposer_' for Sale, durst not speak to the owners. The Lotus illar4n,sfut third „letter to the Deputy and the Inquest of the Ward, with a request that the contents should be Immediately. attended. to. Yesterday the Inquest attended at the Justice-room.before Alderman GAR RATT (who sat for the Lordllayor), and brought With thew two large baskets full of salmon and salmon-trout, which they had .that morning seiied, as unietind, from the stall-of SI Mrs. Keebel, where it was exposed for sale. • As the Alderman 'wiihed to have the opinion of some acknow ledged judge of fish; us to, the quality' of that produced, Mr. Myers, of St. Peter's-alley, the Lord Mayor's fishmonger, was tent for, and called upon'to give•evidenee in'the case. . Mr. Myers being sworn, examined the fish, the whole of which he pronounced tube very' bad-; io bid, that it might pro. probably breed a sickness in those who ate of. it plentifully. It was not only out of season and in spawn, but it was stale; but had it even been fresher, would have been unwholesome. Mrs. Keebel being called upon to state what she had to say for selling. such .said, she had been in the _habit of selling fish for the last twenty years ' and dining that time constantly sold fish , like that Seized; without knowing it 'to he bad. She said she had bought the whole of that seized at 4d. per pound. the trout, and &l. per pound the gills, from Mr. Ricipaili, one of the.," reopectableat" of .Billiogsgine.. She then , launched • forth into some abuse of the large fishmongers, who, she said , .when they could , e longer sea l ! queer" fish themselvoi.„ dis posed of it to small dealers, who were made to bear the brunt. She had given 1/..115. for the fish, of which, though innocent, it was to be feared she would be the loser. Alderman GARRATT'eaid she migh t recover from the sales man the money !the had paid for it; but it was certainly proper that lie should be called upon to answer for having sold the flab which must be destroyed.. The worthy Alderman ordered Mr. Ridpath, the salesman, to be summoned instanter to answer the charge. The salesman soon attended, and on seeing the fish, ex pressed great sorprise that " such as that" should .hare:iteen seized; and was assuring the Alderman that it was fit for any table, whenhe was informed of the judgment that Mr. Myers, upon his oath, had pronounced upon it. The salesman then admitted, that it might, perhaps, be called stale,. for it had been :more that 14 days. on its passage.from Montrose. But, though stale it was not unwholesome, .as Mr. Mitchell, a very respecta ble salesman, was ready to prove. Indeed, the quality of time fish ought not to be pronounced upon hastily, as there were now boxes More of the sane sort on its way to.the market. lilt Mitchell, who acknowledged hill:melt to be a Scotch miles mani then came forward to speak to, the quality of. the fish. '_'tie Alderman declined administering the oath to him, as he was evidently uninterested witness. Mr. Mitchell then. stated, that some of the young salmon was nether stale, but though stale, Wens not unwholetetne. • M. Ridpath assured the,Alderman that a,little vinegar and salt would take off all the staleness from such fish. Mr,.llcist.xn—rYes. I have been informed that it stinking leg of mutton, if boiled with charcoal powder, will come out of the pot perfectly sweet; but I never those to taT the ex p e r iment Alderman GATIRATT Said it Was impossible, to hesitate it the case, after the impartial evidence of Mr. Myers, 'and after, the fish had been cut open.and shown to be full of spawn.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS---(This D'Air) LIBERTY OF TUE SUBJECT.--A case Of some importance came before the Court this day, on the motion of Mr. ANDREWS. It was as follows : A person named Baker had been committed for a fraud to a very comiderable extent on Mr. Gustard, but by some means a Mr. Dallman, in whose name the prisoner had obtained the pro perty had not been .bound over to prosecute. That gentleman, consequently was not in at tendance, and placed in this situation he, Mr. ANDREWS, felt that he could not go before the Grand Jury, and he now moved that the prison er might be detained In custody until the next Sessions. After considerable discussion, the Chairman said the Court could not interfere in the case, which must take , its regular course. In fact the Court had no power to detain the pri soner. [PROCFEDINGS OF YESTERDAY.I A DISAPPOINTED LOVER, ANI) THREATENED ASSAS SINATION or TUE LADY'S FATIIER.—It may be recollected that in the month of September last, Victor Jaques, a young foreigner, paid his addresses to a young Lady of property,. daughter to Wm. Pollard, Esq., of Hanover-street, Hanover-, square, when, in consequence of the ince...fence of the father, the defendant provided himself with pistols, and threatened to as .sassinate Mr. Pollard, whom he was at that period in pursuit of. He was then charged at Marlborough-street office with the offence by Mr. Pollard, who exhibited anklet; of the peace against him, and he was bound, himself in lOW., and two sureties in 501. each, to appear at the Sessions; but it being the intention to traverse the case until the ensuing Sessions, yesterday Mr. Pollard and his daughter, a lovely young Woman fashionably attired, and the other witnesses attended, and their various a ffi davits were handed In and rea d over by Mr. Allen, the Clerk of the Peace, in the Court, Miss Pollard and her sister being provided with seats, and during the evidence being read the attention of the Court was rivetted by the most intense interest. The affidavit of Mr. Pollard went to show, _that a short time ago the defendant, by some means, contrived to form an ac quaintance with his daughter, and they corresponded with each other for some time without the knowledge of him (Mr. Pol. lard), whO, on ascertaining the circumstance, did every thing in his power to prevent an improper match, andto prevent further correspondence between them, until he made proper inquiries into his situation, and circumstances, &e: 'rite defendant find-. ing that his daughter had absented herself from an appoint.' nient, he called on .him, Mr. Pollard, to secure his sanction in : paying. his addresses, representing that his family were reput ,able' and he was in the annual receipt of between three and four hundred pounds. However, on making inquiry, he found' him to be an unequal match; an dl being averse to an union, he, urged the defendant not to continue his addresses; but he still persisted, and provided himself with loaded pistols, with which' .he threatened to assassinate him, and Mr. Pollard, in the pre sence of soma persons, he said that one or other of them should die. The prisoner was ultimately apprehended, with the pistols loaded in his possession, and taken to the police office, and bound to keep the penice. It appeared in Miss Pollard's statement, that on marriage she was tObe provided with a situation in . a nobleman's fettnily. The question was, to what amount of bail would he be re quired. to enter into for his appearance? Mr. Co N sT.—Who is Jacques e is a Foreigner. Mr. CON sT.—But what is he ?—A watchmaker. Mr. Co xsT. —A master or jaunt ey in= ?—A journeyman. Mr. CowsT.—Probably there will be some difficulty in hit procuring bail, as ho is a foreigner. Mr. A N Dimwit...4le had no difficulty in finding it before. Mr. Nounun.— liUt he .prodheed two witnesses, who at. tempted to impose on the Court. They were not housekeepers, although he ultimately procured bail. Mr. CoxsT.—lf that can be sworn to, we'll require notice of bail, in order that it may be inquired into. It being sworn to, he was ordered to procure sureties in the same amount; on which Miss Pollard, with her father and sister, quitted the Court. KINGSTON SESSIONS. Yesterday an appeal was heard against an order signed by two Magistrates, for stopping up a road in the pariah of Chert. Say. it excited considerable interest, as the person most parti 'eularly, interested in resisting the appeal was said to be a Man' of great influence and rank, and the apppellant one of the ordi nary. class. Air. liansr.wat.r. and Mr. TrIESIGER contended for the stopping up of the road, which, they said, was wholly unneees sary, and added to the expences, of the r virA in a very, We" degree. Against this very proper measure, the only man who contended was a village patriot, named Keen, who expect , d to 'Make a character by hit opposition. If the - Bench considered. the effort, ' . as no doubt they mu g, w i t h . referenee to the multi tude benehtted, they would confirm the order of the Magiatrates, 7 wi a la er s eg e , dec ha is d io t n ho t l i t t g oi ht pa i t t ri n o e t, cem an ar d y la to nd q h t o le l s d t er ion to , al tl th ic ot e ig i l en in t e o u f who owned 7,000 acres favoured the decree. ' Witnesses were then called, who stated their opinion that the road in question Was not necessary, although it was partially. used, and was a shorter way to some places which were fre— quoted by those who resided in some of the populous parts of the parish.; One of those witnesses, a surveyor, declared that, the road was.of , no use whatever, and that it was, in fact, quite desolate, until, from respect to Sir Henry !Latham, who re-, sides close to it,, he (the su rve y or ) made it passable and re paired it: lie added, that the (Andes became a nuisance. upon. It., :Mr. iiirrcitixsou supported the aPPeal.. The tact, he, 'said, was, Sir Henry ilotham was the respondent in' this ease, on whose account this very honourable surveyor had first r e ., paired the road, and now wished to destroy it. The appellant, because he. was n ot, wealthy, had met with acorn and derision on account of his independent and manly support of the rights. of the parish ; but if, heeause a band of Oipioes might visit 'the gates of Sir Henry Ilotham's house, the rights of a pariah were to be violated, a dose might be pot to the law of the land on the subject, and the question referred tq Sir henry Ilothani himself alone. The road could not be proved unnecessary and uselesa, and unless it could be proved so, the. Act of Parlia ment did not comprehend it within its operation. Mr. utch. inson then stated, that ithe .road was considerably shorter H to numerous places than the main road ; and that it was fre quently used, especially.when the other road wits flooded ; and that it was an old public road. Witnesses were then called, who deposed to the above-men tioned facts. The Bench deliberated and differed. A division took place, and it was decided that the order should be eon firmed by a small major ity. Mrs. ELIZABVII WHITE, of No. 10, Barrosa terrace, Bottutal-green-roadi while on her way home, between six and seven o'clock on Wednes day evening, through a field near the Lamb pu blic house, i n B e thnal-green, WAS overtaken by n man, respectably dressed in black clothes, who sodd en ly made a snatch at is silk shawl she had on her shoulders, and finding that she was determined to resist his attempts to rob lier, after striking her several times about the head and body, at length he , felled her to the ground, and then commenced kicking In'r in the most brutal man ner. Having thus deprived her not only of all power of resistance, but nearly tar life, he drag ged ber by the l eg s for some considerable dis• lance, and threw her iuto it dirty ditch, where lie left of and decamped with her shawl, &c. Th, unfortunate lady, was 80011 after discovered in this situation, and wins convubyed home ; she is since confined to . her bed in a very precarious situation. . FIRE AT HAMMERSMITH. Yesterday morning, , about one o'clock, the' main street or road of Hatritnersmith was thrown into considerable confusion by the discovery of it fire at the Windsor Cnstle inn, Hammersmith; and the consternation and alarm were greatly heighten ed by the fact of those within being wholly-un acquainted with their peril. The occupants were a young married couple, and related to Mr. Haylett, the collector at Hammersmith. They had taken the house only two months ago of Mr. Smith ; and the proprietors, as well as their establish ment, had retired to bed about an hour, and all were soundly asleep. The premises appear ed to be on fire in all directions, so that even if the parties could be arouse d from their sleep, it appeared to be almost *possible that all should escape. Such - was the danger when persons accidentally passing along the road . discovered the fire; ' the alarm was instantly given, the doors brokeu r and efforts made to save the lives of the inhabitants. Some were got out. by such means.; but the elder relative of the landlady, a Mr. Haylett, who had gone there the, preceding evening, and who is bordering on a' state of silliness, as well as being infirm, was with difficulty saved by literally throwing him' from one of the tipper windows. Two females, relatives of the landlady, as well as the landlady herself, were obliged to make their escape from windows ; aed so threatening were the flames, that they had only time to rise from their beds to get out of the house thus unceremoniously.— They gained shelter with some neighbours oppo site ; but they are in a state of serious indispo sition. By extraordinary exertions, the lives of all persons who had been in the inn were pre. served ; but not a particle of property could be rescued from the flames. The fire had, by some means, got so a.head, that there was no chance of preserving any portion of the extensive range of buildings, stabling, &c. constituting the Windsor Castle inn. All were destroyed, as well as an adjoining schoolhouse,; and several neighbouring houses and eats., blishments , were much injured. Mr. Holmes, the, painter,. ,who lives close by, sustained great, injury by the breaking of glass and the spoil ing of colours, owing to the heat. So desperately and alarmingly did the fire threaten, that several neighbouring houses were hastily but completely ,emptied, it being thought that' nothing could save them from the flames. The open street and' the contiguous yards, on the appearance of day light, presented a curious appearance, as the ,goods of so many families had been removed: partly into the open air. Owing to the dis . tance from London, the engines were some time before they arrived ; and when they did arrive, they were fora long time useless, in consequence of the defectiVe supply of water. T here was' some imperfection in the main pipe, so that they, were obliged to break it to get at the ,water ef. fectually. As may he imagined, the confusion and alarm were immense. Nothing has trans- Aired to account for the 'fire. The infirm old man (Mr. Haylett) was,. for a long time, missing. ALTAGED Discovearcs.—Among the interest ing acquisitions made by Mr. Mooacnorr, in his progress through those elevated and imperfectly known regions bordering on India, the following, are, perhaps; worthy of enumeration The' discovery of vast resources of timber suited to ' ship building, and sufficient in quantity to supply all the demands of ship builders in India for years ' to came. d. The discovery of a vrhiter and more productive kind of wheat than any variety yet known in Britain. 3d. The discovery of several sorts of hal ley, all more productive, and several. containing more valuable properties for malting than those hitherto cultivated in England, 4thly. The discovery of a plant that cures the rot in sheep, of which disease the late 1)r. Bakewell asserted, that hundreds of thousands died every year in Britain. sth. The discovery of a hardy variety of hay, with which even the waster moors and heath covered commons of England may he cultivated, so as to afford winter food for at least an additional million of sheep, while the quality of this food is such as to fatten them in half the time they would require to fatten on any known forage at present in use. Gth. The discovery of a breed of mountain sheep, of which every cot tager in England, not receiving parochial relief, may keep three with more ease than he can main tain a cur dog ; so that every little farmer may keep a small flock of them on the present waste produce of his farm. The breed is secured, and arrangements made for keeping a stock of them for the next three years.
