when, as is well known, the country was in such a disturbed state." 1832 1833 1834 1835 1836 11,3,59 9,635 9,927 10,575 7,907 A deduction to the extent of about 400 is to made (the Reviewer adds) from the total apparent im .rovement in 1836, in consequence of all altered mode of making up the constabulary returns after the first six mouths of that year, those returns having vs:aseCl from that date "to contain a number of petty larce nies, and other minor offences of a similar kind, too trifling to be proceeded with. Yet, with an allowance: for this, what an improvement I A decrease from more than eleven to less than eight thousand in five years '." The Reviewer is, w e b e li e v e , slightly error in stating that the alteration in the canztal)ulary returns consisted in the omission of petty larcenies. The offences omitted in the latter part of 1836 were those of the class of merely constructive assaults, street brawls, &c.; and the change was made in compliance with the proposition of the Inspector-General, although it has pleased the Tory prints, in pursuit of their laudable vocation, to ascribe it to a Go vernment juggle, for the purpose of creating a false impression of its success upon the public wind. This recalls to our recollection a statement lately made by the Times (and of course a falsehood), to the effect that Lord Mulgrave, having produced ccr;ain constabulary returns in the House of Lords, in proof of the fruits of his Administration, was forced to withdraw them on account of their inaccuracy ! So remote from the truth is this assertion, that Lord Mul grave, in referring to the returns of 1836, took parti cular care to explain the alteration above alluded to in the mode of making up the constabulary reports, and distinctly stated that, while the comparison of the re returns of 1835 and 1836, taken as they stood, pre sented a diminution of crime to the extent of two thirds, if the column of common assaults was omitted the decrease would he no more than three-eighths. " But," continues the Reviewer, " to exclude the smallest opening for cavil, we shall now compare, for the same years, the number of those outrages which are wholly unaffected by this change in the enumera tion, selecting those which seem to indicate general motives, or which affect the public peace, and over which, as we have already said, a liber a l execut i ve h as most preventive influence. NUMBERS OF OUTRAGES COMMITTED IN TUE TEARS 11832. 1833. 1834. 1835. 1836.

That the bulk of Irish crime is to be attributed to the Catholics, " amongst whom," in the language of Burke, " as being by far the most numerous and the most wretched, all sorts of offenders against the laws must commonly be found," is a disco very that reflects the highest honour on the sagacity of the Standard. Our Contemporary's discoveries, however, it is but justice to admit, are rarely of this simple character. We have a striking instance of his higher powers in the argument which he advances against the Reform of the Irish Church, founded upon that very moral inferiority to which the maintenance of that Establishment in its present grievous magni tude and splendour has been mainly instrumental in reducing the country.—Morning Chronicle. The Whig-Radical functionaries connected with the administration of justice in Ireland, acting in com pliance with the wishes of their patrons, are exceed ingly anxious to make it be believed that crime is in a state of rapid decrease in Ireland, and that the country is in a position of astonishing tranquillity. Anything like a state of tranquillity in that country, we admit, would be very astonishing, but, unfortunately for the credit of Whig-Radical statements " facts are stubborn things," and while the statements of tranquillity are on one side, the facts are on the other. Ile evening organ of the Ministry has lately employed itself in quoting the most assuring passages of " tranquillity" from the addresses and charges of Whig-Radical functionaries ; and, if the facts of the case could be kept out of view, such assurances would, no doubt, be very satisfactory. Even the atrocious murders of Allen and Finn, and the all-but murder of Macken zie, in the " peaceable" county of Sligo, on account of their votes at the election, would have been hushed up and most religiously concealed from the eyes of the British public, if the Popish and Whig-radical journals were the only records of the current history of Ireland. But " murder, though it has no tongue, will speak with most miraculous organ ;" and so those murders found same organ of communication to make them known to the public. Even then the Ministerial journals abstained from noticing them as long as they could, for such facts formed a very sad and unhappy commentary upon the text of " tranquillity." " The provincial journals," says the Dublin Evening Mail, " from every part of the country, bear evidence of the unruly and turbulent disposition of the peasantry. The papers received since cur last publication, ex:mots from which, as well as from the Gazette, we shall subjoin—exhibit Tipperary and Limerick, in Mun ster ; Kilkenny, Wexford, Louth, and Meath, in Lcinstcr ; and Armagh, in Ulster, as in a state of tur bulence, more or less violent—but all in diametric op posiition to the idea of .‘ tranquillity.' Longford and Sligo not heirg included in our cataloilue to-day, we 811;111 not summon th em or an y part o f Ireland, save what appears on the face of our record in testimony of th% - national unruliness." Here follows an extract : From the Dubin Gazette.) " October 18, 1837.—0 n the 11th ult-, at about three o'clock p.m., a lime-kiln on Rehill mountain, in the parish of Whitechurch, and county of Tipperary, the property of the Earl of Glcngall, was partly thrown down by four persons, and several stones taken out of the arch, four shots having been previously discharged at the keeper-- thirty pounds," &c. " October 19, 1837.—0 n the 12th instant a bailiff went to the house of a man in Coolekenoa, in the district of Newtown-Hamilton, county of Armagh, for the purpose of executing a decree, and while there he was attacked by two strangers, and violently abused, and in the same dis trict a man named Michael Canagher took an active pert in rescuing cattle from the said bailiff, previously seized under a decree from an assistant barrister—thirty pounds," &c. The following proof of " tranquillity" is from the Limerick Chronicle : "Daniel Nlolony, upon whom and his brother we de scribed the savage attack made last week by a party of ruffians near Loughmore, has since died of his wounds. It does not appear that any of the murderers arc known." But the wonderful proofs of tranquillity afforded by the Kilkoznq Moderator are the best of all. We give the proofs in the words of that journal : .‘ Tit ANQUILLITY.—TE XT AND COMNIENT.—TEXT•— We were delighted beyond measure when attending the Court of Quarter Sessions yesterday, to have heard from the Bench, by the mouth of the Chairman, a warm eulo gime. on the peaceable disposit;on of the population of the county of Kilkenny. Hid - Worship beautifully contrasted their present perfect amenability to the laws with their ,ioul past .t tu r h u l ence. Oh,' thought we, this is just as it he ; t'ne Sovereignty of the law is at last about to be acknowledged, and the county of Kilkenny, at least, forms eligltftadu exception to the gloomy aspe c t o f th e sou th o f ; l lonu e oasis in the ``desert.' COMMENT -- BUt on l eav i ng t h e C ourt-house our dream of social happi:iess was no t a li tt l e interrupted, by learning . that atis p::aceful cou n t y did , no later thanur obedi(!• pour t ice to a well- c i rcu l ated requisition, forth yesterday, itsln hundreds of horse and thousands of foot to stop a tithe sale it Thurles, and from Callan to Presider(' and Johnstown, and the adjavnt neighbourhood, has to congratulate itself in being able to add this additional laurel to its former tro tthies, over the prostrate laws of the land. The property ;eized, in order to satisfy the lawful creditor, was surren dered up without resistance to the persons on whom the seizure had been made." The Irish philosopher, who promulgated the doc trine, that the most effective wad• to subdue one's pas sions was to yield to them, seems to have been the Gamaliel at whose feet Lord Mulgravc and her Ma jesty's Ministers learned the secret of producing " tran quillity" in Ireland. They have learned that the most effective mode of subduing the passions of the people is to allow them peaceably to trample upon the law. By so doing, much cause of irritation to the popular mind is avoided, and ) if the same principle be applied to the opere.tiiins of the " swell mob," all violent hust- Hoz; Vummelling, and semi-strangulation of the per sons who tempt them to evil by the airyin g about watches, purses ) retitlites, and pocket handerchiefs, will 1 - 4 e fet4ered unnecessary. Let the victims be csl.lhinissive and the law prostrate, and the gentle men of the swell mob, whti have; like the agrarian legislators of Jtelaml, peculiar notions ioperty, • will be atabled to eeitiS'o their ingenuity without hurry, violence-, tip tnn't'usion, and in the most traramil manner possible. It is true Protestant tleigymen may ftt.'ive because the law whi;ll gives the landlord rent has given thew t. 3 oth:r provision than tithe, and the tram - liar anti-tithe conspirators rob them of that. • But what is the starvation of a few thousand Protest ant clergymen compared with the securing of that " tranquillit y " which Inflows from the prestention _ the /cry b enea th the feet of the multitude? The maintaining of the law agAinst those who called in large bodies to violate it, might exasperate the people, and probably d r i ve t h em to more violence than if they arc allowed to have their own way. Passive resist ance might be-converted into active resistance, and the " tranquillity" of unopposed depredation might be. driven from the land. We cannot but admit the force of this mode of reasoning, which is no doubt the logic that has enlightened Lord Mulgrave and her Majesty's Ministers as to the best mode of governing Ireland.—Morning Herald. The Irish Election Petition Fund, of which the ob ject is, and the effect will probably be, to purge the House of Commons of a considerable number of per sons believed to be seated there by means of intimi dation, fraud, and perjury, is a tremendous evil in the estimation of our Ministerial contemporaries. For the purpose of stigniatWng the subscriber@ to this excellent and formidable institution—excellent pre cisely in the degree in which it is formidable— nothing is too little, nothing too much, nothing too mean, and nothing too intrepid for our Ministerial and O'Connellist Contemporaries to do or to attempt. Their great cheval de bataille is the real or sup posed imperfection of the tribunals by which the validity of disputed returns is tried, and for the improvement of which tribunal neither they nor any other persons have yet suggested a feasi ble or practicable scheme. The plain truth is, that the partisans of the O'Connell Ministry would not be satisfied with any tribunal which did not encou rage the exploits, and protect the conquests, of inti midation, fraud, and perjury at Irish elections. Without contending that the Election Committees of the House of Commons are always impartial, imma culate, and infallible, we must take leave to deride and to despise the argument of the Ministerial and O'Connell partisans, which implies, if it have any meaning, that until some better tribunal for the trial of disputed returns be provided the composition of that branch of the Legislature, so far as Ireland con tributes to it, shall be wholly at the mercy of dishonest Returning Officers, perjured voters, domineering Priests, and murderous mobs. If the tribunal be not as perfect as may be desired, why have not Mr. O'Connell's friends, during a seven years' possession of power, attempted its amendment ? Why has he, possessing, during an equal period, the ear of the Le gislature, suggested no remedy for the evil ? And this having been neglected, can anything more impudent and profligate be imagined than the pretence now set up by the partisans of the Ministry and its great patron, that fraud, perjury, and intimidation employed on their behalf to vitiate and degrade the composition of the representative branch of the Legislature, shall be ex empted from all chance of check, impediment or re buke ? A Ministerial evening paper of last night im poses upon its readers a • foolish story, borrowed from the Dublin Evening Post, about an incident at the registration for the county of L ong f or d, i n or d er , fi rst , to discredit the Election Committees of the House of Commons, which the story, even if true, would scarcely effect ; but mainly and finally for the absurd purpose of stigmatising the subscribers to the Election Petition Fund, who have had nothing to do with the enactment or contrivance of the law under which the Election Committees of the House of Commons are constituted, and who merely, like all other persons pursuing rights or demanding the redress of wrongs, rssprt to such tribunal as the law and Constitution have provided for the maintenance of the particular right which they claim, and the remedy of the particular wrong by which they think themselves aggrieved. It will surely not be denied that the right of every subject of the British Crown is invaded, and deep and grievous wrong inflicted upon each member of the community, when persons are introduced into the House of Commons not legally and fairly chosen by those upon whom the Constitution has devolved the duty and conferred the privilege of election. Neither can it be pretended with any show of fairness, or any approach to common sense, that . Englishmen should passively abandon rights or endure wrongs until their country is blessed in every department of jurisprudence with perfect and infallible tribunals. Yet these are the absurdities into which the partisans of the Mel bourne-O'Connell Government are daily betrayed, in the anger, or rather the alarm with which the success of the Election Petition Fund has inspired them. The Longford story of our Contemporary, to which we have alluded, proves nothing, unless it be that ab suldity in the general structure of an argument is na turally followed by absurdity in the details, circum stances, and incidents selected for its illustration. " It is," says our, Ministerial Contemporary, " in the recollection of the public that the Committee appointed to examine into the validity of the Longford election swept away some ninety or a hun dred voters, having taken upon themselves to examine into the value of the voters' qualifications." He then proceeds to narrate how at the late Longford registrar tion a certain Philip Brady of Long,hill, barony o f Granard, o ne o f th e " n i nety or a 'hundred voters" swept away by the Committee (mind, only one), was re-registered. Mr. Philip Brady swore that his inte rest in his farm was worth 201. a year. Another wit ness, on the same side, who described himself as a good judge of land, swore that Mr. Philip Brady's interest was worth 151. a year. But some persons of the neighbourhood examined before the Committee at Westminster, and believed by a majority of its Mem bers, had sworn that, in their opinion, Mr. Philip Brady's interest in the land was under the value of 101. a year. From these facts our liberal Contemporary in fers wilful perjury on the part of the witnesses heard and believed by the Committee, and gross partiality on the part of the Committee for believing their state ment. The inference seems to us to be more hasty than any person having much value for the character of other men, or for his own, would have hazarded. The discrepancy as to value between Mr. Phillip Brady and his own witness is as great, within a hairsbreadth (taking the story as it is given), as that between the latter and the witnesses who obtained credit from the House of Commons' Committee. And if it be just or candid to conclud e that the witnesses at Westmin ster were wilful perjurers because their estimate fell short by 51. a year of that of Mr. Brady's witness at Longford, we do not exactly see how the equal dis crepancy between Mr. Brady and his own witness as to the same point can be accounted for without an im peachment of the moral character of one or the other of those persons. The whole story would be worth less were it not that the whole manlier of telling it shows to what desperate shifts and expedients the enemies of fair and constitutional representation are driven by the noble determination of the British people to guard their own rights and those of their fellow-subjects in Ireland from the usurpations of Priestly tyranny, of mob insolence, of perjury, and of corruption.—Morning Post.

He was supported into the room. and seated in a chair, but instantly expired from suffocation, caused by the effusion of blood into the larynx. THE SUN, LONDON, PRI;)AY, OCTOBER 27, 1837. DOCTOR COOKE. LAW INTELLIGENCE. We published ott yesterilar stitrie of this Doctor's sayings at the BelfaSt carousal, which should not be permitted to fall still-born from the press. Doctor O'Sullivan (doctors arc as plenty as blackberries, now-a-days) made sonic tig.y admissions about the chances of Protestantism falling asunder for want of tbt attractive ilikitaiS; and Dr. Cooke tookhith soundly in task iH edh'i,eqiienee. OSullivan is of th e itackstin species. The Church of Christ, according to him, is able to endure btttneiier ittstrim Of perk4ulion ; the thirty:4dt* tirtieleii d ill P4e the iieaks of belie vers att failh, and the word—all sufficient for eveq thing else—can hold out but five years more of " great die couragement." Thirty, at icasti of t / hti ttt , tl first of the felth l hak'e already disappeared before the w ithering fat.q ii Ueonm:ll being wadi; a Magistrate: But the pro phet of evil received a re t )riiol froth Liad4 of hiself., his 'cited, nisu his audience, and m lweeming the crisis in which the Church now finds itself. Talk, says the Presbyterian divine, of five years, we are toyb eviongli to hold out fifty-`4 aye, nbw selfish, after all, is hu man SyMpatliy—the Doctor forgot that be lost not the aid of tithes, and consequently could ill estimate the position in which the Rector of Killyilian—the pions IMAM' of the wreckers found himself placed. But the Doctor—the re , . presentative of " all the Churches in Ireland" which are not Papistical..--dld not offer an opinion without a reason ; and what think you it was, gentle reader?—" To feed the piing Protestants well 1" 'Ti6 not Protestantism—'tis not in Conservatism, said he ; " bring the young Pro testants to your table," and they will increase and multiply, like the strange beggars at Rome, " altos Sportula fccit." • To the present hoer the true secret of making Protestants has escaped the inquiry of Christian reformers. Reforma tions of all descriptions have been tried, and have failed — reformation by rewarding adultery and parricide has failed —reformation by the torture has failed—reformation through bastardy and the charter school has failed—reformation by confication has failed—reformation by means of stinted soups has failed—reformation by slander has failed ; but the truth has at length dawned on Dr. Cooke—the only road to re formation is through the belly. Talk, indeed, of faith—of morals—of the inherent grace of religion !—thc Protestant religion sits enthroned in a full stomach. " Fill them with good things," and send them not empty away, says the Doctor, and you may knock them about like foot-balls— like the plant of the field, the more they are trampled on the more they will flourish. The Doctor is, no doubt, a learned man, otherwise he never would have discovered the phenomenon of a Protestant plant thriving the more luxuri antly from being trampled on.—Freeman's Journal.

The prisoner said his family were 114;44 fe . .finttble, but they hating repudiated him he was brought to great ilis4 tress, and committed tilt act with the view of getting out of the country. He had assumed a name not his own to shield his family from diSgrace.—Sentence deferral, aged 38, a labouring man, was indicted for having, on the lath iiist. f unlnwfully assaulted Maria Williams, and feloniously and maliciously cut and wounded her in divers parts of the body. In a second cotitit i the prisoner was Indicted for an intention to do the prosecutris some grievous bodily hartil. - The prosccutrix was the wife of E. Williams; and resided at No. 3, James-place, Stepney. On the evening of the day laid in the indictment she was sitting at her tea, and hear ing a n o i se s h e wen t t o the door, when she saw the prisoner holding a little boy by both arms, and ill-using him. The little boy, in reply to a question from the prosecutrix, said that he had been doing nothing ' • upon which the prisoner said he w ou ld "d o for him." The prosecutrix then told the prisoner that he had better send for the parents of the little boy ; upon which he rushed towards her, knocked her down, jumped upon her body, and continued to kick and beat her as she lay on the ground. Her clothes were torn to pieces ; and on being brought home, she vomited a quantity of blood, and found that she had been wounded internally. She had been confined to her bed from the time of the assault until Saturday last, and she was still suffering from the effects of the attack. Hannah Durant, who witnessed the attack, corroborated the above testimony in every particular. The Jury found the prisoner guilty of an aggravated assault. The prisoner was again indicted for assaulting, wounding, and cutting William Cranford, a police constable, with in tent to maim and disable him. The Jury found the pri soner guilty of the whole charge. NEW COURT. CHILD STEALING.—Ann Frances Bennett, aged 24, was indicted for feloniously, and by fraud, taking away an in fant child, named Catherine Gilson, with intent to defraud William and Mary Ann, its parents, of the possession of the said child. Another count charged the intent to be to steal its apparel. The Jury, after hearing evidence, pronounced her guilty. The COMMON SERJEANT said that, for the sake of mo thers, who by conduct like the prisoner's were driven almost to distraction, the Court would make an example of her, in order to deter others. The Sentence of the Court was that she be transported beyond the seas for the term of seven years. The prisoner (with great nonchalance)—You had better make it ten. Edwin Gooberty, a youth respectably connected, was indicted for stealing two Bank notes, value 501. each, a 5/. note, and 201. I6s. in gold and silver coin, the property of Mr. Frederick Stockden, his employer.—Guilty. The prisoner was again indicted for that he, durine , the last year of his late Majesty's reign, was convicted of felony. Evidence was adduced to sustain the indictment, by which it appeared that in the early part of the present year he was convicted in that Court, and before the same Judge, of embezzling 201., the property of a former employer, whereupon he was sentenced to only three months' impri sonment and hard labour. John Madden was indicted for stealing a Bible and a shirt, the property of Peter Spratt ; a Bible and a shirt, the property of Benjamin Peck ; and a handkerchief and other articles, the property of Martin Hayward. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. At a petty sessions held on Thursday week at Tub. hercurry, in the county of Sligo, sit men, four of them of the name of Black, one of the name of Carr, another of the name of Shaw, were committed to Sligo gaol, charged on the clearest evidence with having on the 21st of August broken into the house of a man named M'Hugh, and sworn him not to work for Protestants. All these men are them selves Protestants and Orangemen. The majority of the Committing Magistrates were Protestants. Mr. Little, the Stipendiary Magistrate, in his address to the prisoners, alluded to an expression which fell from one of th(!in—that " he did not think Scully would have turned traitor"—as proof that they were engaged in a plot. Scully was a wit ness against them ; and there seems no doubt that they had combined, or had been hired, to commit the outrag e, in order to throw the odium on the Catholics.—Limerick Star. Mary Smith and Eleanor Connor, who had been members of the Protestant Cbu i rcb, made public profession of their faith as Catholics, on Sunday last, at the chapel of St. Nicholas, Galway, before the Right Rev. Dr. Browno, and the congregation.—Limerick Star. MUTINY AND MASSACRE.—Mr. Davis, first officer of the bark kabala, just arrived at New Bedford, brin g s a report that about twenty days prior to their depar turefrom New Zealand a shocking event occurred on board the ship Ploughboy, Captain Brown, of this port—the par ticulars of which are thus related. In order to complete the crew of the ship three natives of New Zealand were employed, Ivho, having taken offence at the treatment re ceived from some of the officers, revenged themselves by murdering two of the hands, and barbarously wounding a third. These atrocities were .committed at night. The natives, being forward, first beheaded a seaman who was on the watch ; a boat-steerer, in the gangway, hearing a noise, and going forward to ascertain the cause, received a terrible cut from a hatchet driven deeply into the shoulder ; the man at the wheel was next attacked, pierced through the body with a spear and fell dead through the skylight. Those below being thus aroused, hastened on deck, and found that the murderers had cut adrift all the boats, in one of which they were endeavouring to escape. One of the natives was shot by those on the ship's deck, but the others got off. Next morning three of the boats were picked up, together with the dead body of the native. The name of one of the murdered seamen is stated to he John Coles, of Nantucket, the other was a native of Denmark, name not given—nor is that of the wounded man reported.—Nantucket Enquifer. The Dutch have a proverb, which says—" Thefts never enrich ; alms never impoverish ; and prayers hinder A rather ludicrous incident occurred at our theatre on Wednesday last during the performance of a piece called The Man with a General Face. A tall inebriated coun tryman happened to be leaning over the orchestra while Mr. Gill was enacting the character of an old gentleman (his master), and when Mr. l3elfour, who played the suitor to the old gentleman's daughter, was introduced to his sup posed father-in-law, Gill, who was, according to the plot, in a state of intoxication, proposed to run, jump, fight, or play the young gentleman a game at skittles " for a quart," the countryman, forgetting the illusion of the scene, roared out " I'll have you!" Shortly after this he turned round and asked a gentleman near him which was the road to London ? when the person he addressed leeringly pointed towards the stage and said " Straight forward." The coun tryman then deliberately clambered over the orchestra, which was then very nearly untenanted, and got to the right-hand side of the stage. The performers stared ; the house was convulsed with laughter ; the countryman kept bowing to the performers, and his back to the audience, when some ono at the side-wings suddenly forced him to make his exit before he could make his debut to his won dering auditors.—Bury Herald. Tuesday an alarming accident happened to the se cond daughter of the Rev. Mr. Hanwell, Wesleyan super intendent of Lincoln. The young lady is of industrious habits, and had got up early to busy herself in the house hold affairs, when, by stooping too near a copper stove, the lower part of her garments took fire and enveloped her in flames. She endeavoured to extinguish the fire, but failing in this, she ran screaming up three pair of stairs and threw herself on a bed, when her mother, with great presence of mind, rolled a blanket round her and stifled the fire. Mr. Harvey was immediately called in, and found her so dread fully burnt that doubts were for a day or two entertained of her recovery. She is now out of danger. O❑ Tuesday afternoon a couple of brutes, seated in a dog-cart drawn by three dogs, drove along the New-road, as fast as the animals could go, yet the fellows kept shout ing to the dogs and lashing them in a furious manner. On reaching the corner of Euston-square they turned round the corner so suddenly that the cart, coming in contact with a post, was overturned, and the dog-drivers pitched headlong on the ground with such force; that the arm of one of them was broken, and the other severely bruised. The dogs made good their escape, their masters being too badly hurt to follow them. HIGHWAY ATTACK.--011 Saturday night, as Mr. D. Bush, baker, of Wanstead, Essex, was passing through Stratford, near the four mile-stone, he was .at tacked by a man named Patrick Hughes, residing in Well street, who struck him a violent blow on the right temple, supposed with a flint stone, and fractured his. skull, w h ere by Mr. Bush's lift) i at present hopeless. Hughes h as since absconded. HOAX EXTRAORDINARY. On Monday last, the l►dies and gentlemen of Barnsley were given to understand, by hand-bills, extensively circu lated there, and in the neighbourhood, that an " unrivalled fete" would be performed " by M. S. Von do Bughie, the celebrated German Aquatic," by his displaying " his won derful and novel fete of walking upright, on the surface of the water, from the wharf of Mons. J. Twibell, to the Aqueduct, and back again, with no other assistance than a pair of small cork shoes, which would not be wet above the soles,"—on which occasion he earnestly invited " every ad mirer of genuine science and agility, to witness the above unparalleled exhibition, which has excited the wonder of assembled thousands both in England and on the Conti nent"—and after a confident reliance upon their liberality, and a request that the authorities of the town would maintain order, inasmuch as his performances in other places had invariably drawn together an immense concourse of spectators, his hand bill concluded as follows :—" M. S. Von de B. deems it unnecessary to loaden the limited space of a hand-bill, with any disquisition on the nature of his performance ; or with any abstruse mathematical calcu lation on the effect and operation of solids when brought in contact with fluids ; but begs to state to the scientific and curious, that he has on sale a number of copies of a publication by himself and Doutsaple (an eminent German philosopher) containing a luminous exposition of the theory of this surprising fete." The hour appointed was half-past four in the afternoon, and it is unnecessary to remark that his surpassing feat was the general theme of conversation, and numerous vehicles with company arrived from distant parts of the country, viz., Leeds, Huddersfield, Wakefield, and the villages westward. The favourable state of the weather, also, added considerably to the increase of specta tors. The place selected is about a quarter of a mile out of the town, on the Barnsley Canal, and from the degree of anxiety which prevailed, the banks of the canal, the ad joining fields, walls, and even trees, were literally crowded to gain a glimpse of the extraordinary man—indeed from the fact of there being present not less than from 6 to 7,000 persons, some idea may be formed as to the interest exci ted. It may be better imagined than described what eager anxiety the company exhibited, when the appointed hour arrived for the start from the wharf, and the general impa tience to catch a first view, added, not a little, to the amusement, particularly on the banks of the canal, those nearest the water being occasionally thrust in by way of a cooler. Time passed away, but no M. S. Von de Bughie appeared, and no little disappointment and vexation soon became depicted in the countenances of those who had travelled far and wide, to witness, what they taunted each other with, " all a humbug." In fact, the credulity of John Bull was never more completely or successfully ope rated upon than in this instance. All ranks and classes, the rich in their carriages, and the poor on their shanks, men, women, and children, having crowded to the scene of action to witness (without " any abtruee mathematical calculation") " the effect and operation of solids when brought in contact with fluids"—" the scientific and curious" however, were equally disappointed, for neither M. S. Von de Bughie, nor his fellow philosopher " Doutsaple," ap peared to gratify the anxious multitude.—Doncaster Gazelle. Mr. Barnett, the British Consul at Warsaw, arrived at Frankfort on the 20th inst. Yesterday evening, between five and six o'clock, a cab, in which were two women in addition to the driver, all of them in a state of intoxication, was proceeding along at the rate of twelve miles an hour up Tottenham-court. road towards Hampstead, when an elderly lady named Minims, residing in Upper King street, Bloomsbury, who was in the act of crossing nearly opposite Warrcn-street, was knocked down by the horse attached to the vehicle, the wheel of which passing over her right leg crushed it in a shocking manner. The unfortunate lady was immediately picked up by some bystanders and removed home in a coach, and a considerable number of persons pursued the cab with the view of taking into custody the ruffianly author of the mischief, who, we regret to say, escaped. One of the women being unable to keep her seat fell head foremost on to the footpath pavement, and was severely wounded and bruised. On Monday morning last two children, a boy and a girl, the former two and the other four years of age, strayed from the house of their parent, a poor woman, named Cruddington, at No. 1, Collingwood-terrace, Dog-row, Mile-end-road, and have not since been heard of, the in quiries of the agonised mother, who has six other young children, having proved fruitless. She is a very poor woman, and the circumstance has caused a good deal of excitement in the district, and much commiseration for the distressed parent. The children have both light hair and fair com plexions. The girl answers to the name of Caroline Crud dington. It is to be hoped that if any person has seen two children answering the above description early information will be given to tne afflicted mother. In the township of Toronto, tipper Canada, on the 1•)th of August last, died Sarah, daughter of William and Elizabeth Robinson, i❑ the lGth year of her age. She went in the afternoon of the above day, in company with two or three of her sisters, to reap wheat, and when they arrived at the place of labour her sisters commenced reap ing while she stood a few moments looking on with a sickle laid on her neck and shoulder. One of her sisters said, " Sarah, why don't you commence ?" She immediately took hold of the sickle, and, in the act of drawing it from her shoulder, unconsciously inflicted a mortal wound on her neck. She said to her sister, "Jane, I have cut myself." Her sister instantly called to their father, who was in an ad joing field. When he came how great was his astonish ment to see them all covered with blood, so that a few moments elapsed before he could tell which of them received the wound. However, he saw his daughter Sarah bleed ing most profusely. He carried her to the house, and in a few minutes after she breathed her last.—American Paper.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN- S Q UA RP. . Henry Otway, an apprentice from the Royal Military Asylum at Chelsea, ttimmoned his master, a shoemaker, for having ill-treated him on Saturday last. It appeared from the evidence of the roar lad, whose statement was corroborated by his master, that he was dreadfully Aided with epeliptic fits, and that on the even ing of the clay stated itt the summons on his returning Bettie his Master had violently assaulted him and knocked' him down without any cause. The master, in his defenee, - stated that the boy (who was entirely useless to him, in connquenee of his unfortunate Indficttly), on his return home on Saturday was remarkably insolent, whisk induced him to give him a slight blow. He further stated that he Ini4 behaved like a father to the boy, and that he had two other apprtintices from the same esf,ca hiWttrteftt, whom he had brought with trim, in order to speak as to his treattßent of them. • The Magistrates Meters White and Burrell), in giving their decision, stated theinselve to be perfectly satisfied with the defendant's statement, without calling the other two boys ; adding a recommendation that, taking into con sideration the unfortunate wmplaint of the boy, the &lieu dent would treat him kindly, and dismissed the complaint. George Clarke was charged by James BAldwin, the land lord of the Ship public-house, in the Vauxhall-road, with having stolen four knives, of the value of Is. 411. It appeared that the prisoner entered the taproom of the prosecutor, when, under the pretence of reading the news paper, he managed to secrete the property in question, which was on the table. The Magistrate, upon the suggestion of the prosecutor, sentenced the prisoner to hard labour for one month, in stead of sending the case to the Sessions. HATTON GARDEN. Yesterday, Mr. Charles Blucher Walker, a medical student of the London University, was charged by Mr. Alexander Dudley, another medical student, with an assault, The complainant having been sworn, stated that on Tues day last he was at the Hayward Castle Tavern, near the London University, when the defendant entered, and, without any ceremony, knocked him down, and kicked him when he was down. Mr. BENNETT—Did you give him any provocation ? Complainant—None, whatever, that I know of. Defendant he called me a liar and a blackguard. Mr. BENNETT—(to the complainant)—Did you make use of those insulting expressions to the defendant ? Com plainant (hesitatingly)—Not that I am aware of. Mr. LAINEI said it would be much more creditable to medical students to avoid such squabbles. A witness proved that the complainant called the de fendant a liar and blackguard. Mr. BENNETT consulted with Mr. LAING, and said, if people would forget themselves and make use of such lan guage, they deserved the consequences, and the case was dismissed. James Downes was finally examined, charged by Daniel Staight, ivory and pearl turner, of Charles-street, Hatton garden,with a robbery. The prisoner, it appeared, had been in the service of the prosecutor five years, and during the last six months had plundered him of property to the amount of 2001., and part of it was found in the possession of a young woman to whom he was paying his addresses, and to whom he had presented it. He was committed for trial. John Owen and Frederick Fletcher were finally exa . mined, charged with a robbery at the house of Mr. Wotty, butcher, of Islington. The prisoner Owen, it will be recollected, a few days ago charged Martha Pearce, at this office, with stealing a shirt, when she stated that the proceedings were instituted through revenge, on account of her having left the priso ner, with whom she cohabited, in the fear of being ar rested by the officers for a burglary at Mr. Wotty's in which he (Owen) had been concerned with a person named Franks, who was in his service ; and that she pledged the shirt by the prisoner's authority. She was discharged, and Owen was detained. King, of the F division, took Fletcher on suspicion, and found a silver spoon in his possession, he having concealed it on his person. Mr. Wotty said on the night of the 28th of August his house was forcibly entered and robbed of money, but he could produce no evidence against the prisoners. They were formerly in his service. Mr. LAING inquired whether the silver spoon belonged to him. King replied in the negative, and said that it had been stolen from the house of Mr. Barnford, of the Treasury, where the prisoner Owen was in the habit of visiting as a butcher ; but that gentleman would not come forward to prosecute. Mr. LAING said it was fortunate for the prisoner that Mr. Bamford would not come forward. He discharged the prisoners, telling Owen that there was no moral doubt of his guilt, but there was not sufficient evidence. Martha Pearse applied to the bench for advice how to obtain her furniture which Owen had in his possession. Owen—They were seized upon for rent. Pearse—lt is false, I paid the rent. Mr. LAING—I have nothing to do with the matter. parties then quitted the office. A miserable-looking female, about thirty years of age, who had scarce a rag to cover her person, and whose gene ral appearance indicated extreme poverty and wretchedness, was brought to the office by a constable of the E division. The constable stated that yesterday morning the prisoner entered a house in Broad-street, St. Giles's, and had a glass of liquor for which she refused to pay, and would not heave, saying she wished to be given into custody and taken before a Magistrate. She was quite sober, but greatly dejected. On the arrival Of witness l►e remonstrated with her, and begged of her to go away, which she would not do, and re questect witness to take her. He, however, left the spot, when she pursued him, and insisted on his taking her before a Magistrate, saying that she was wretched and destitute, having no place to go to, and was perishing through want. He took her to the station house, were she made the same statement. Whilst in the office she stood screwed up with cold and shivering, with her eyes dejectedly fixed on the ground. Mr. LAING asked her what she had to say for herself ? Prisoner (in tears) —I am distressed and destitute. Mr. LAING—What arc you ? Prisoner—l am a straw bonnet maker. Mr. LAlNG—Where 410 you come from ? Prisoner— From Ipswich. Mr. LAING asked why she did not go back to Ipswich ? Prisoner—lt is such a distance, and I have nothing to take me there. Mr. LASSO—Have you applied to the parish ? Prisoner —I have, your Worship, but they refused to relieve or pass me. Mr. LAlNG—Where have you been living? Prisoner— . Unfortunately, since I have been in London I have wan dered about St..GCles's. The constable had 2s. in his possession which had been contributed towards the prisoner's relief by some gentlemen in the streets who commiserated her situation. Mr. LAING ordered it to be given to her, and she re ceived it eagerly and gratefully.• Mr. LAING then discharged her, and advised her to get back to Ipswich as soon as possible, or she might find her way into the House of Correction. MARY LEBONE. A KEEN APPETITE.—A freSh-coloured young man, who gave his name John Ediccumbc, was brought before the Magistrate, charged with having swallowed an enormous breakfast, and being minus of the needful to pay for the same. Mr. GREGORIE—Who charges this man ? A -well-dressed woman, named Pitcher, a widow, resid ing in Crawford-street, here mounted the witness•box, and, with a most mournful countenance, said—" I do, your Worship." Mr. GREGORIE —What arc you ? Complainant—l keep a coffee-shop in East-street, Manchester-square, and this fellow at the bar has been robbing me in a most shameful manner. Mr. GREGORIE—How? tell me the particulars ? Com plainant—Your Worship, he came in this morning, and, sitting down in one of the boxes, called for a morning paper, which was given to him, and after reading it for about half an hour, he called for a cup of coffee, an egg, a small loaf, a rasher of bacon, and butter. In a short space of time he despatched these, and had not only three cups of coffee more, hut two other loaves, and three more rashers. While enjoying himself at the breakfast table he praised the coffee very highly, and said he had just come up front Bristol, where there had been a large fire, and that as he was going to stay some time in town he should be a regular customer. As soon as he had put the whole of the victuals out of sight he put on his hat, and was opening the door to go away, when I asked him for the money ; but he told rife he had not got a dump, and that I might, if I thought pro per, send him to the station-house, which of course I did. Mr. GILEGORIE—And very properly so too. (To the prisoner)—What have you to say ? Prisoner—l'm' sorry for what I've done, Sir, but I couldn't help it. Mr. GREGORIE—Why could you not help it? Prisoner —l'd travelled all the way from Bristol, and had got no cash ; but I mean to pay her. The fact is, I some time ago was laid up with a violent fever, and ever since I've been getting better I've had the misfortune to have an ex traordinary appetite. The " gormandizer" was ordered to find bail, and, in de fault of doing so, was domtilitted to prisOn.

He called for the Thal ° police, and Gray rowed away. Mr. BALLANTINE—Why did he . take the trouble e doing all this ? Bynon—l am sure I don't know. Mr. BALLANTINE--There must have been sonic ce".
