THE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS mom TUE DAILY ; MORNING PAVEL! s 5 April 1, 18'23.. [THE Times.] We have aiready stated the advantages which would result from the establishment of a direct communication with Spain by means of Post-office packets. An alarm has prevailed for some days at Paris, that the intercourse via Bayonne would be stopped by order of the French Government; and numerous letters have in consequence been transmitted from the capital of France to London, for the purpose of having them forwarded to Spain. It is quite needless, we suppose; to dwell upon the expediency of maintaining; expediting, and extending the communications between this country and the Penimaila. The political inte rests, as well as the commercial, thereon de pending, are of the highest moment, and cannot fail to have so i.npressed themselves upon the minds of Ministers ; but peihaps a strong expres sion of die feelings entertained by the merchants of Lontron, with regard to the, expediency of this increase to our establishments, may be looked foe as rt• desirable justification. If so; we have no scruple in saying that a memorial' to Govern ment cannot be prepared too soon. The removal of the Spainish Court to Seville would point out Lisbon as the channel through which the Post office intercourse with the south, of Spain might lie conveniently prosecuted ; and Bilboa, or Corunna, situated as these places are with re gard to the northern Spanish Provinces, ought to be likewise selected ; but it would be neces sary in the first place to appoint Post-office agents at these several stations; and we repeat, that the more speedily the arrangements are made, the more beneficial it will prove to the public. DRITISIE PRESS. 3 Our private accounts of yesterday evening: inform us that the Duke of Angouleme arrived at the head-quarters of the army of the Eastern . Pyrenees on the 22d ult. at live. lie dined at the Hotel de la Prefecture, in company with the French Marshal Moncey, and the Spanish traitor d'Eroles. The report of the celebrated Mina having entered the French territory, and attacked d'Eroles on the 17th, appears to be premature, as Mina was, by the accounts transmitted to us, at Pertlius, in the Spanish territory, on the 18th. Part of the French troops had marched from Perpignan on the alarm being spread, but returned again to protect the person of the Duke of An gouleme on its proving unfounded. A corps of Royalists was surprised out the 6th at Estesa de, Scare by the militia of Cervera, and dis persed with great loss. The Pilote of Sunday morning, which reached us, does not state any thing further respecting the conspiracy in the French army, except that neither Colonel Sausset nor any Aide-tie-Camp of General Guille minot have been arrested. The rumours of the tricoloured cockade having been raised on the frontiers, eat prevailed in Paris. The Qubti dienne of Saturday states, that. when Mina pre sented himself on the frontiers, be was not only occompaoied by General Llobera, but with Col. Fabvier, and - that they unfurled to the eyes of the French troops a tri-coloured flag and an fmperial Eagle. The Duke of Belluno passed through Tours on the 20th, at live o'clock in the evening, on his way to the army. A rumour cir culates in Paris, that the porkieuille, as Minister of War, has been absolutely given to Dijecr, and that Belluno is no longer in the French Cabinet. From the proclamation of Moucey (the Duke of Cornegliano) to his division, on taking the com mand, it would appear as if all.was not perfectly htitmonious and obedient. [monNING cunorpo.r ii i Our contemporary of The New imet does not seem to possess the nerve of The Courier, but ra. ther shrinks now from the consequences of his former doctrines respecting Spain. The Courier, however, becomes more courageous as the crisis approaches. On Friday last the latter did not hesitate to avow himself the open and undisguised advocate of the Bourbons and of their invasion of Spain. ," In making war upon Spain (he says) arms are employed against institutions and doctrines, v, hich, if they were left unopposed, would make war ultimately against all States." This is the genuine language of better times. We are carried back to the halcyon days oranti.. . Jacobinism—tn the beginning of the revolutionary war, when country 'Squires had not yet found out all the charms of high taxation.--The New Times, however, seems half-inclined to leave King Ferdinand and the Inquisition and the Monks fairly in the lurch. " This wretched disjointed state of the unhappy kingdom of Spain we deeply lament; and no one can more decidedly repro_ bate than we do the long course of misgovernment by which it was brought into a state of so much misery and degradation. —But if much of that misgovernment wits effected by the ab solute power of the King, more has been since caused by the anarchy of the Cortes. We condemn both; but we think the latter, if it could succeed~ would be the more fatal to Eu rope, because it is connected with the cause of Revolution in all countries, and is managed by secret societies of Freemasons ant) Coomuncros, which have a common understanding with the setret societies of Carlionari, Illumines, &c. in other parts of the COntinent, and a common object with the Radicals amt Rebels in tireat,Britain anti Ireland. Such is the ground, and such the extent of our antipathy to• what is so improperly term. ed the Spanish Cause 1! but to Spain herself we wish all', at tainable blessingi, and,. above all others, Liberty, and Inde pendence. Far be IL from us to desire to see King Ferdinand reestablished as an absolute Monarch—still less to see Spain redueed to a dependence on France."' . Lt is much no:doubt to obtain aconcession th a t much of the misgovernment of Spain was owing to the absolute power of the King. Arbitrary power and misgovernment are bad'things ; but then Revolutions are worse. What then is to he done in order to get rid of absolute power ? The King's kill, we - know, must have no violence done to it. We must offer up prayers merely that his heart may be softened, that he may see the wickedness of his ways, and resign his arbitrary power. In the present ease, our contemporary will tell us, we have much to expect from the advice of the leader of the French army on his. Majesty. He will prevail on him to give the Spaniards a Charter, and to burn the List of Proscription drawn up with his own hand, in which the names of the Members of the Cortes were included. now , mtrch Europe will owe to the liberating French army [MO RIVING pos.r.] French Papers to the 31st ult. arrived yester day. Their contents are not of much importance, except so far as they mention the continuance of military preparations, and the evident approach of hostilities. The Ultra Journals deny the movement said to have been made by Mina and its results, and assert, that in posting detach ments on the frontier, that Commanders" did not violate the French territory."--This may ap pear extraordinary on the part of writers who seemed eager, a short time since, to prove that violations of the French territory had ac tually taken place. But the change on their feelings may be easily explained. Violations of territory, at that period, would answer their par poser, by affording amore plautible colour for their meditated invasions : but at present they would only demonstrate a degree of strength and confidence on' the part of the Spaniards which it might not be deemed prudent to' reveal.— Whilst the intelligence contained in these Jour nals is'so scanty and unsatisfactory, private ac counts received yesterday from a respectable quarter, confidently assert that tire trench army of the Pyrenees was to break rip on Saturday and Sunday last, and to commence passing the frontier yesterday and this day. In that case all communications . with Madrid % by way of France,• would be interrupted ; for it is not likely that. the French troops would allow our Courier to pass without seizing, or at least examining, their dispatches and the only mode'of receiving regular and direct intelligence, would be to establish' a packet between this country and Bilbao or Coranna. A Courier is stated to have arrived on Sunday from Vienna with dispatches for the Austrian Ambassador, containing intel4igence of the march' of a Russian Army for the French frontier. Whether this statement be correct twits full extent, it is yet too early to ascertain ; but if the event should take place, although it might be attended with most important consequences to the peace of the whole world, it would, we belie, create but little surprise. [NEV Tl:llEs.] Vie Paris Papers of Saturday and. Sunday have been received, and contain many details of the preparations for war. One of the most striking facts mentioned in these Papers, if true, is the ap 'pearance of Colonel Fabvier, together with Mina, on the Spanish frontier, in presence of the French troops,. to whom Fabvier islaid to' have displayed' a tri-coloured flag and an Imperial Eagle ; but without the slightest success. lie Was only an swered with shouts of Vive le Roil—We say the appearance of Colonel Fabvier under these cir cumstances, if true, is very striking ; and we hope it will tend to . open the eyes of our Whig Politicians, who think (good easy souls!) there are no such things as conspiracies and Tottsptrators to be met Witt either abroad or at homer Col. Fahvier is the person on whose sole 4 authority the Edinburgh Reviewer: laughed to scorn , the idea of a plot against the "'reach Go vernment at • Lyons in 1817. He had been, in Buonaparte's time, an' AideAe-camp of Marshal Marmont; and the Marshal being sent to' Lyons in September 1817 by Louis XVIII. to examine into the conspiracy, took Fabvier with him as Qlliefof his Staff. General Cantle! and the other Authorities of •Lyons happily quelled the insurrection some months before : and Col. Fabvier now published a pamphlet to prove that no plot, no treason, no disaffection had ever existed, ex cept what was hatched by the arts of the Royalists themselves. Decaze, the Minister of that day, patronized Fabvier and persecuted Ca nuel—and now what do we see ? General Ca nuel commanding a loyal corps, in the service of his King and Country ; and' Colonel Fabvier a , traitor to his King ; and' endeavouring to stir up civil war in his country ! [MORNING - Illi:ltALA:] There were arrivals of the date of the 30th yesterday from Paris. The contents of the Jour nals are not of material importance. Mina's having crossed the frontier and attacked the hands of the Faith, which were collected under the direction of the Baron d'Eroles, within the French territory, turns out to have been a fable. Ho merely appeared on the frontier with the Spanish General Mobera, and inspected the line of Spanish posts. Some of the Journals state that he manifested a disposition to pass the frontier line, but that upon the French posts threatening to fire on him, be retired. The puerility of such conduct in Mina renders it im probable. Another statement of the Ultra Jour nal is, that he was attended not only by General Lobera, but by the French Colonel Fabvier, who displayed an eagle to the French troops, as a ta lisman to incite them to mutiny or desertion. It is added, however , that the loyalty of the troops was incorruptible, and that they shouted five le Rol' If this be the fact, it reflects little credit upon the wisdom of Colonel Fabvier, that he should ex pect his solitary symbol of the Buonapartean Government to produce a magical effect upon soldiers, the most of whom- had never, , in all pro bability, fought under it : and it is just as valueless considered as a criterion of the fidelity of the French troops. That faith must have been • very, weak indeed which could be shaken by so slender a temptation. Judging by the Proclamation of the Prefect of the Department of Landes, the troops are in more danger of being seduced from their, duty within the French territory than by agents or emissaries acting across the frontier. This public functionary denounces the attempts of malevolent intriguers to corrupt the loyalty of the troops on their passage through the department to their destination on their fron tier—attempts, however, which the Prefect says proved wholly fruitless. The apparition of Mina on the frontier has caused some movement among the French troops. One regiment was instantly ordered to take its position nearer the bouddary. M a rshal iVioncey had reached the army, and addressed a short Order of the Day to the Corps d 'Armee which he is to command. it is short, and merely impresses upon the troops the duty not only of good conduct in the field, but of strict discipline and respect for property, and for the peaceable inhabitants. This evidently, though not in express terms, applies to the con duct to be observed upon entering Spain. The Order of the Day is dated the 23d ; and the Jour nals intimate that the war would commence on the Ist of the month. This, however, is scarcely compatible with the itinerary which they have traced out for the Duke of Angouleme, or with the changes in the organization of the army, to effect which the Minister of War. left Paris. It appears that changes wese r e solved on, not only in the command and organization of the troops, but in the War Department also. The Quatidienne announces " with delight" the latter changes, concerted, it says, with the Minister of War, previous to his departure. This Minister, it further states, was expected back to Paris, without delay, to resume his functions. These papers contain no fresh intelligence from Spain— nothing subsequent to the King's departure from Madrid. IRELAND. The arniostni of the petitions tor buntings, and other dettrue don of property, delivered In to the Clerk of the Peace, was 10,5361.45. ; of this sum 8,612 L 17s. 3d. falls on the county at large, petitions to that amount being over 'OW. each.-- ( Cork Mercantile Chronicle, Match 28.) OUTRAGES NEAR DUNMANWAY.—OR Tuesday morning, about 3 o'clock, the dWelling-house of Mrs. Jagoe, at Kilronan, within 2 miles of Dimmanway, was attacked by a party of in surgents, who first demolished all the windows with stones, and called aloud for the arms, which they said were inside. Not be: ing answered immediately, 8 meat and a boy entered the kitchen window, and one of them fired• at the servant boy, who was bringing the arms' down stairs, and he narrowly escaped—the ball having passed by his ear, and lodged in the wall. They then Went through' the house, and broke open all the drawers and trunks, and took away three guns, sixty rounds of hall cartridge, a pound and a half of powder, four pounds weight of swan drops, thirty pounds in cash, all her bacon and linen, and some spun:yarn, and several other articles. They regaled' them selves with' what ,the house afforded, and carried' off what wills-- key remained.

There were only two men In the house at the dine —one of them very advanced in years,' and unable to any assistance.—( Mem.) On Friday night last, four out-lionses;•held by a man nanied Burke, situate on' the estate of Mr. Cooke, of Cordangan, .near the borders of the county of Cork, were maliciously burnt. Same night three houses were burnt in like manlier at Bd= hercrow, bet Ween the town' of Tipperary and the county of Limerick.—On Sunday morning, a desperate notice was firma posted on a gate at Lattin, near Tipperary, threatening elf oc cupiers of land, in case they did any thing . at variance with the peremptory injunctions of the writers . . On the night of the above day the house of Denis Gleeson,. at Glenbane; in the same vicinity, was maliciously set on fire, but. the flames ,the extinguished by the exertiOnir of the inmates . and neighbours:— Cionntel Advertiser. SLUPWgECK OF THE ALERT' PACXEZ I..tit7HElt PAItTSetItARS4 it is oulpainful duty to record the loss of oneof the sailing.. packets of this port, by the sinking of which, while on her homeward voyage front Dublin, it is supposed, (according to the general reportreof the few survivors) upwards of 100 of our fellow-creatures, men, women, and children, suddenly perished. The Alert sailed from Dublin on Tuesday night, abont half-past eight, and on Wednesday morning made the coast of 'Wales. The wind had been generally favourable; but, about Ten o'clock, Aar., the Captain finding the breeze abating, and the vessel driving towards the West douse rock, sent the boat a-head, in full expectation of clearing it by tow. ins. There was just before a fine light breeze, which, had it continued, (and of which there was every a pp earance ), t h e vessel would easilY have avoided the rock. The tide, however, at this unfortunate juncture, became so powerful as to render abortive the efforts of the rowers in the boat, anti soon drifted the vessel upoh the rock, which she struck, though not with very great violence. But it was soon discovered that the shock caused the vessel to Teak considerably, and the pumps were imme diately set to Work. The water, iti defiance of every exertion, continued to gain upon them, anti in a few minutes reached the cabin floor. All who could, now lent their endeavours ter bail out with buckets. The' leak continued to increase rapidly, and it was soon perceived that all efforts to keep the vessel afloat were of no avail. She became waterlogged, anti there being no wind, it was impossible to throw her on the shore, which was perhaps a mile and a half distant. In this desperate situation several individuals leaped into the sea, to reach the boat which had been towing a-head, and which contained the greater part of the crew. Those in the boat picked up as many as she could contain, numbering in all 17, amongst whom was the captain, Who, by the exertion of the mate (who was before in the boat) was saved. The boat was but 12 feet long, and with this lead, being nearly level with the water's edge, was with difficulty, though in a comparatively smooth sea, rowed to the shore.— Meantime, terror and despair seized the unfortunate beings left on board the vessel. But a veil never to be penetrated is drawn over the terrific scene that closed their earthly career. Those !saved in the boat can give but a confused and imperfect relation of the horrors of those awful minutes which preceded their escape. One only of the cabin passengers was saved, a 'respectable tradesman of Liverpool. Ile thinks there were about 130 persons on board : the Captain supposes not more than '7O, exclusive of those saved. In either account we find a mourn ful reckoning ; and as, with the exception of those in the cabin, the passengers were chiefly persons in the humbler walks of life, the truth it will be perhaps impossible to ascertain.— The gentleman saved (to whom we have alluded) states, that when the boat pulled towards the shore, they left those on the sinking vessel, amongst whom were three ladies, many other females, and some children, weeping and pray ing ! On. reaching the shore (after rowing three quarters of an hour), a Welshman who had observed the disaster from a hill, informed them that the vessel had disappeared. 'The boat returned to the fatal spot immediately, and we learn, saved two more individuals (men) who had contrived to keep afloat. The. rest to the nunibef of 100 to 130 (for reports are va rious) had sunk to rise no more. So far as we can ascertain, the dreadful catastrophe was purely accidental ; and we have reason to believe that, considering the immediate peril of every one on board from the time the vessel struck, every ex. ertion was made to keep the vessel afloat, and to draw her to. wards the shore for preservation. The boat in which the sur vivors escaped was but 12 feet in length, and was loaded almost to swatnping.—(Lfverpool Mercury.) POLICE INTELLIGE NCE. DESPERATE AFFRAY AND RIOT. MARYLZHONE-OFFlCE.—Yesterday the avenues leading to this alike were almost impassable from the immense concourse of persons assembled in consequence of the examination of 22 persons an charges of a dreadful riot and affray on Sunday 12 o'clock, 'JOHN - ItAWLINSON, Esq. the presiding Magistrate, morning, at one o'clo c k, i n Cato-street, Edgeware.road. About having made armngements for the security of the prisoners in the office, which was crowded to excess by spectators, took his seat on the Bench, and immediately after the prisoners were brought in by a strong party of police. On being arranged along one side of the office they answered to the following names :--Patrick and William Kildare, Matthew Muntford, Thomas Glynn, Timothy B arite,finMaloy, Martin ./Ins bury, John Flynn, .Mirliael and Patrick M'Geil, Patrick Quin. John Neiiy, Nicholas Glynn, Patrick Hymn., Patrick Stan ton, John Reilly, Ivin. Mauro, Patrick Martin, 2'homas Cun ningham, Michael Mannivg, Martin Hurley, and John Slo man. They were all Hibernians, and apparently men of very determined character. From the evidence of a great number of witnesses, the history of the affair appeared to be as follows : During the whole of Good Friday and Saturday, a great mani festationtof uneasiness was observed among the lower order of Irish resident in Cato.street, and a very great inclination for lighting was displayed, which towards the...close of Saturday evening increased, and about 12 o'clock at night an affray be gan in John-street, Edgeware-road, between a number of the l - rish resident about that neighbourhood and a party of the- Bargemen, who were compelled to fl y, but again re turned with an. increase of strength, and renewed the contest ; they however, were defeated and driven off, many being severely injured. The weapons used in this combat were pokers, sticks, shovels, and several long poles loaded with iron and surmounted at one end with a large pronged hook. The affray about its termination becoming very riotous, several watchmen interfered and endeavoured to prevail upon the Irish to retire, but they only answered by knocking down and beating them. However, having driven the bargemen off, they retired into Cato-street, followed by a strong party of watchmen and police, who endeavoured to disperse them, without any effect, as they were returned upon, and obliged to retreat themselves. At length, finding that they had a number sufficient to attack the rioters, they rushed on them, and one man, named Poole, a watchman, was instantly struck lifeless to the ground ; and Shirley, a comrade, who went to his assistance, had his head laid open in two places,/ and fell over Poole nearly insensible. However, the watchmen pressed on, and a desperate battle fol lowed, in which many were severely wounded. At length it was deemed necessary to send for the assistance of the military, and a picquet of infantry was directly sent from Portman street barracks ; but by the time they arrived the rioters had fled, seeing them approach, and had taken refuge in houses in Cato-street. During the affray, nearly all the watchmen were dreadfully beaten, and many of them sustained severe fractures and cuts. Poo lei was taken to the 'Middlesex Hospi tal, where he remains in a deplorably dangerotts.atite. A Bow street patrol, named Jennings, who arrived after the affray was over, followed the rioters into the houses, and in a very short time apprehended all the prisoners, some of whom were con cealed under the beds and in the chimneys. The prisoners, many of whom presented the appearance of having been severely cut and beaten,• mostly all denied being in the affray. How ever John Kelly, Patrick Stanton, John Flynn, Patrick --11.14,e 1 it, John Simian, James Hildane, William Monro, Tho mas Flynn_, and Michael M'Ceil, being fully identi fi ed as being active in the riot, were committed in default of bail ; Michael APCeil being sworn to as having struck Poole., the watchman, was remanded until his state be known. The rest were ths charged. ATTEMPT AT MURDER. Maresiost HouSE.--Edward Sheridan, a lad of about 18 years of age, was brought up charged with having assaulted Patrick lord, an elderly man with a sharp-edged hammer, with an intent to murder or do him some bodily harm. It appeared from the account given by Ford, who is a fel low-labourer of Sheridan's, that the prisoner and he were em ployed by their master, a builder, to pull down the ceiling of houSe, and that they had been at work together for some time before the words which led to the desperate assault were tit tered between them. The prisoner addressed Ford, as soon as they had nearly concluded their work, in the following man nner Paddy," said he, " what's this you have been telling master about me ?" " Nothing it ale, open my conscience and soul," replied Paddy. 'By My send, u have ; though, Paddy ; you have been telling, hint lies a boutme," said the prisoner. " I tell yOu," said Paddy, " that I never tould lies of you to any one . " Yes, iipene My seal, Faddy, you have," repeated the prisoner, " andtake that," hitting the unfortunate old man with the hannter on the head. Ford staggered, and thought " the life was out of him ;" but the prisoner was not satisfied, with stichis trifle' Of revenge, and crying out to him' !" Paddy . , you're not kin tet, you tiff of the world," made another e ff ort to dispatch him. Paddy, however, caught the arm' that Vraa descending upon him, and weak as he was frown the Anion of blood from the crown of his head, prevent ed the prisoner from doing what he positively believed it was the bnite's intention ter do'—" killing him dead." The cut in Ford's head was long and deep ; his clothes were covered with blood: He felt " cruel weak," and was afraid he should suf fer front the blow as long as lie lived. Mr. Alderman Cox—Did you use no provoking language ? ". Not a word, your Honour he struck me without showing me ho was going to do it ; and if he hit me the second time, I wouldn't be here to tell you all about it." Sheridan was remanded - for farther examination, after having said in his defence that Paddy struck him first, and that he meant to hit Paddy with the blunt end of the hammer, but the hammer would turn round 'whether he would or no, and hit Paddy of itself with the sharp end. Ford is under the care of a surgeon, and not yet considered quite out of danger. AN AINIATBUR VENDER OF MATCHES. GotnirAt.T..--Among s t t h e p r i soners b roug ht u p yesterday before the Sitting Magistrate, Mr. Alderman T. SMrru char ged under that most comp re h ens i ve of all terms i n the Police Vocabulary, being disorderly, was a highly respectable young citizen, the exposure of whose name (and we trust he will feel it, so) would most probably do him an irreparable injury; and who had been sent to the Compter from Aldengate watch-house, through the following whimsical adventure : Returning homeward from spending his evening at the west end of the town, with just wine enough to be what is termed ", fit for any thing:" He was accosted in Smithfield, at about, half an hour after one on the morning of Sutiday, by a poor match-Woman who intreated his charity rather th a n hi s cus t om ; and in a fit oiCorinthianism bargained with her for the whole contents of her basket, sonic two or three dozen bunches of matches, well brimstoned at both ends ; and got in addition to hits purchase her hearty prayers and wishes for good luck to him, which, however, subsequently proved of no avail for his success in his new occupation. His first essay as a timber merchant was to solicit the custom of the watchman stationed at the corner of Long-lane, Aldersgate.street, which he did • with so much apparent meekness of supplication, that be at least half hoaxed him to begin with ; but before the latter could determine whether he was to be angry or platted, two young men came by, to whom the new tradesman address ed himself, with—" Please to buy a lueporth of matches of a poor distressed young man."—The earnestness of the tone, and the sight of the matches themselves, completely hoax ed the new comers, notwithstanding the youth and respect- ! able app earance of the supplicant. " Surely," said one of them, ' you cannot be distressed." The tuatch.verider, how ever, assured them lie was in great want; and one of them, in consequence, half doubtingly, offered him a penny piece, which was received with great apparent eagerness and grati tude ; on which the second became a purchaser, and got three bundles of matches, for his halfpenny, with an abundance of prayers and blessings. Just at that moment a third young man, who had been in company with the other two at a public house in the neighbourhood, and had merely stayed behind for a minute or two, came up. His companions immediately, with a mixture of surprise and compassion, pointed out the distressed match-vender to him, told him what therhad done, and urged him to follow their example. The last corner, however, was of a different temperament from his companions; for though he was as much deceived as they, and really believed the pnsoner wanted to sell his matches he began to abuse him as a n im postor. The match-vender took this pretty quietly, as an unavoidable consequence of the great humility of his apparent character and calling ; but when he proceeded to call him a " d—d thief," all the brimstone in his composition took fire at once; he bundled his matches altogether into the pocket of his fashionable surtout, buttoned it tight round him, and was about to commence a furious attack upon his uncharitable calumniator, and would soon have reduced him to a state of distress by no means fictitious, when the watchman, who had stood by all this time wondering and pitying, seeing the peace about to be broken, interfered, and at the desire of the party took the prisoner to the watchhouse. As no blow had actually been struck, the Constable of the night might have understood the joke, and, as the young man conducted himself very peaceably in the watchhouse, made the party friends together with much propriety ; but thinking it probably beneath the dignity of his magisterial office to make a joke of any thing, he treated the offence with all the seriousness of a midnight robbery, searched the person of the prisoner, and transmitted hint pennyless to the Compter. At the watch-house to his s c ta h t a e rac wh te o r and what aespecta he b w d as ity ; the prisoner had given a false name a nd a dd ress , b ut b e f ore t h e and t. ll by nn a a g e i ay s uponietlrr,aa after ( h ti h e e e e rn r eadwpearisne suitable c e e n n on t a l P t e o l n l e t o l f ho ad a n t i t o en ni t ti led on, w ltt ra tte ' d th l e iin w t ort to hy re't l ir l e and make some recompense to the officers for the loss of time his foolish frolic had occasioned them ; and he was thereupon discharged. LAM DETII-STHEET.—In pursuance of the express orders of the Magistrates yesterday morning the officers visited Stepney. fair and its neighbourhood, for the purpose of keeping order, and the prevention, of that species of gambling called hustle cap," and other " chance" games. They apprehended two women who had hustle caps and round boards, with which they were playing, and brought th em to t hi s office. The imple ments were destroyed, and one of the prisoners, named Mary Dewley, sent to the . House of Correction for a month. The other prisoner pleaded her great distress, and having a large family, was discharged after being reprimanded. DREADFUL AccinisT.—Yestertlay morning the Swallow Dover coach upset on Shooter's-hill. It appears that the driver, On the descent of the hill, was holding the reins tight up, when they broke, and the horses darted off at speed, rendering the efforts of the coachman to stop them un. availing. Opposite the Red Lion, at the bottom of the hill, the coach overturned, and a French lady, on her way to a brother in London, was dreadfully injured in consequence of the coach falling upon h er . The vehicle was raised by the help of several men, and the unfortunate sufferer extricated and taken to a tavern, where she was visited by Lady Robe, who resides in ' the neighbourhood,. and Dr. Patten ; but it is feared she will not recover. The other passengers received no material injsr7. LONDON MARKETS. rt ICE Or BEAD The price of the 41b.
