A man, named .10/in Webb, who has been .41-1711.; eependent upon the bounty of the parish of All tillosiv s, Barking, was brought before the Lord Mayor. charged with having got drunk and abused the matron of the poor house, and also with haying sold his coat, which had been supplied to him from the parochial funds, to supply himself with drink. The defendant, who is notorious for annoying the re spectable and aged poor, who are unprotected by the parish in the poor-house, was stated to have returned one night drunk, and at an unseasonable hour, without his coat, and to have most grossly insulted and threatened the matron, an old lady who had seen better days. He had a deformed hand, and considered that he was priiileged by that defect to commit any sort of rascality. The defendant had taken care, upon his being put to the bar, to exhibit his hand to all around. The Beadle—l do assure your Lordship he is the most complete out-and-outer that ever was. He'd sell his mothr for diak. ~~:. LONDON, PRIDAY PiENIN6, AUG UST 25, 1837 PR CE sd. MRS. S. C. HALL'S NEW NOVEL. Now ready, in 3 vols. post tivo., irTNCLE - H OR AC E.

The Victory, Biden, has been condemned, and is advertised for public sale on the 15th inst. James Samson, a diminutive looking cabman, enveloped in fustian trowsers and a ribbed waistcoat, summoned a well dressed young man, named Armstrong, for Bs., being the amount of cab hire incurred by the defendant in and round London. The plaintiff, who appeared to be an imitator of " Boz's" " Sam Weller," treated the whole affair in the light of an excellent joke, and it was with the greatest difficulty that anything at all satisfactory could be elicited from him. Upon the clerk calling the summons, " Samson and Armstrong," the cabman entered the box, and with an in expressible leer exclaimed, " Veil, here I am yen least ex pected, old gentl'm'n, as the knife said ven he opened the oyster." The LORD MAYOR—What have you done with your jacket ? Defendant—Done with it ? Why the best way is to tell the truth. I wanted a drop of beer, and I took it off and sold it. The LORD MAYOR—What, sold it ? Defendant—Yes, my Lord, out-and-out ; but it was a wretched consarn. All e got was a shilling. 111 take more care of the next. Beadle—l have been thirty-seven years beadle, and he's the worst I've yet seen. The LORD MAYOR—Have the Comniissioners visited your parish yet ? 13eadle—No, my Lord. We have about seventy poor, but they are all people of respectabi lity. There are three or four who disturb all the rest, and this is by far the worst of the lot. Defendant—Please you, my Lord, it can't be expected that I could work, a poor lame-handed (nipple like me. The LORD MAYOR—You would not give up that de formity for the strongest arm in the kingdom, for it supports you in idleness. I shall send you to Bridewell for a month. * Defendant (leasing the bar)—A month ! that's nothing; I can sleep that away, howsomever. The LORD Mayon—lndeed! Well, then, you shall have an opportunity of sleeping three months away. De fendant—Why, my Lord, when a man's asleep he's out of mischief, and that's all I meant. The LORD MAYOR—He shall certainly go for three months.—Committed. --- ROBINSON'S GREEK AND ENGLISH LEXICON, By the Rev. DR. BLOOMFIELD. This day were published, i n 1 vo l .

COMMISSIONER—WiII you have the kindness to state to the Commissioners your claim ? Samson—Vy, Sir, it's a long tale to tell, as the highvayman said vhen the priest asked him to give an account of his crimes, but loastways, howsmever here goes. You must know, yer vorship, last Monday veek as vos, this here gemmen comes to me and says, says he, " Vot'll you drive me to Common Garden playhouse for ?" " A bob," says I, all at vonce, for the gemmen's gentility capsised me. " Agreed," says he. " Done," says I, and avay ve bolts at the rate of eighteen and a quarter miles an hour. Vell, yer vorship's vorship, ve drove about from place to place until my oss riglarly dropped down with fatigue. At last he says, says he, drive me up to Vite Condick, and that'll do. But ven ye came there, yer vorship, instead of paying me like a gemmen, as he ought to have done, and acted as sich, vot does be do but he claps spurs to his heels and avay he runs like winkin. I follows, and ye had sich a chase, all the dogs and butchers of Islington arter us. At last ye cotched him, and vot d'ye think ? vy, he said he hadn't got a precious mag in all the vorld. So, yet vership, I sarved him a summons, and it sarved him right, any how, for his imperence. COMMISSIONER (to defendant)—Do you admit the debt ? Defendant—l do, but not having any money at the time, I was obliged to wait for a more convenient opportunity. I will pay it in a week and recompense the cabman for the trouble he has had. Cabman —Nell, you are a trump, and no mistake, as the nobleman said ven he turned up the ace of hearts and a violent fit of coughing at the same time ; and ven ye next meets, I'm blessed if ve don't have a blow out, as the young frog said to the old 'un, yen he vented to be a little bigger. The cabman and the equestrian gentleman then left the Court together, the former exclaiming, " Ah, this is as it should be, as the gentleman said ven he bought a handsome print of the new Houses of Parliament."

A portion of the animal, which he seized, was produced by the offi cer, who said it was cut up and sent out to the poor man with a slice of bread. He was asked if ho should relish a b:t of stewed rabbit ? and then this mess was given to him in a dish. The prisoner had admitted to him (Bates) that he gave it to the poor fallow as a lark. The ALDERMAN asked the prisoner how he could jus tify such disgusting conduct? The prisoner said the poor man was an idiot, and he was in the habit of giving him food. The contents of the dish were chiefly hashed mutton, and it struck him that a little bit of dog would not poison, or do the man any harm. Sir Purim LAURIE felt a strong inclination to require the prisoner to eat the pieces now produced, by way of pu nishment. The prisoner, who laboured under great anxiety, said the constable had got above half the puppy, and he would eat that directly if the Alderman would but discharge him. Sir PETER —I am not aware that any law reaches such misconduct, but I will inquire. I will remand you till to morrow, and if any law can touch you, depend on it you shall be punished.--Remanded.

She at once assented, and agreed to go with him to hear the Rev. W. A. Gunn, at that time a most deservedly popular preacher in London. On her way home she expressed herself delighted at " the native talent and the scriptural eloquence" of Mr. Gunn, and in about three weeks after she repeated her visit to her friend, and said, " I am come again to accompany you to hear Mr. Gunn." Mr. B. replied, " You will never hear him again."—" Why not ?" was the reply. " What has hap pened ?"—" He is dead, madam,"—" Dead !" she exclaimed, " then, what can Ido for his sake ? Was he poor ? Had he a wife? Had he a family?. Pray tell me what I can do ?"—" There is but one thing you can do, madam ; that is, to assist his congregation in raising a monument to his memory."—" Then pray, Mr. 8., get it done imme diately, and I will pay for it." Her wish was complied with, and a handsome tablet was placed in the Broadway Church, Westminster. VOLUME XV. TO COMPLETE SOUTHEY'S COWPER'S WORKS.

The following extract of a letter, dated the Ist of March, has been received at Lloyd's : Information to Commanders of Ships entering the Harbour _ _ NIARI3LE WORKS BY PATENT MA CHINERY. The Publie are invited to view the extensive SHOW-ROOM Stted up by the London Marbl e • and Stone Working Corn eontainin,7 the greatest a n d of CHIMNEY PIECES, ables, Wash-hind Stands, and Shop Counters, MONUMENTS, TABLETs, BATHS, and all other articles of Marble Work, fiuished in a superior manner. Country A gents supplied. Esher-street, Holywell-ereet, Millbank, Westminster. of Kingscote, Kangaroo Island, South Australia. " Kingscote is situated on the point of land which divides the Bay of Shoals from Seal Bay. On your charts it has two miles of water frontage, one towards Seal Bay and one towards the Bay of Shoals, and commands a full view of Nepean Bay from Point Marsden to Kangaroo Head, inclu ding the opposite coast of Cape Jervis. Kingscote Harbour is the finest in the harbour, with the exception of Boston Bay (Port Lincoln). Our harbour will accommodate some hundreds of vessels, and 700 ton ships can lay within half a mile of the landing-place. The Coromandel (662 tons regis ter) anchored here on the 12th of January in 4i fathoms. Vessels from England on making Kangaroo Island should shorten sale if in the night, and endeavour to make Point Marsden by daylight, as the passage is not good for a stranger to lay in at night, owing to the strong 'tides. o,i making Point Marsden the lead must be kept going, with a hand aloft, to look out for the sand-pit. This spit runs off from Point Marsden about nine miles, in a direction a little south of E. S. E. ; the passage round it to Kingscote is about three miles wide on the Kangaroo Head side of the Bay. Vessels should keep not less than five fathoms all the way round the sand, and until they get the Company's flag staff bearing N. N. W., and a yellow-looking bluff cliff, which is between Lagoon Bay and the Bay of Shoals, E. S. E. ; they may then run up for the Company's flag-staff. They should keep the lead going, however, all the way. The safest plan for a vessel from Europe is, on rounding Point Marsden to fire a gun, and hoist the signal for a pilot; then run, about four miles off the sand-pit, down, and heave to, for a 'boat from the shore. She should also attend to guns fired or signals made from the shore. The approach, when known, is perfectly plain and safe, but the sand-pit, not being correctly laid down on any chart, is apt to deceive a stranger. The Company's servants have brought in every vessel from England, except the Buf. falo (she did not call here), and no accident whatever has oc curred, save to the William Hutt. She ran on shore on the spit, through not attending to our signals, but we got her off again without the least damage." MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Yesterday a highly respectably dressed female, of the name of Susanna Cox, was brought before Mr. DYER, by Inspector Walsh, of the C division. John Harwood, No. 165 of the C division, between elevcn and twelve o'clock on Wednesday night, was on duty in Park-lane, and his attention was drawn towards a female who was walking about on his beat. Having observed her for some minutes, during which time she endeavoured to get into the Park, he went up and spoke to her, when she • begged of him to assist her to obtain an entrance into the Park, as she was anxious to destroy herself ; finding from her conversati on th a t s h e me di tate d se lf -destruction h took her to the station-house for seeurity. Inspector Walsh, after he had taken the charge, entered into conversation with the unhappy lady, and found from her answers that she was insane. All which he could col lect from her was, that she was pursued by an individual who wanted to marry her, and because she had refused him he had engaged several persons , to waylay her, but that she would sooner suffer death than marry him, or pass the re mainder of her days in the workhouse. She also said that she had been living for some time at Brighton, where she carried on an extensive business, and was acquainted with Sir David Scott, who told her that if those persons conti nued to pursue her she would go out of her mind, and would then be removed to confinement. Mr. DYER—Do you know where she lives ? Doctor Robinson—No. 12, Curzon -street, May-fair. Inspector Walsh was directed to go and inform the per son who kept the house of what had occurred, and also to request the attendance of one of the inmates of the house.

They are a very neat and simple contrivance ; and, were the principle extended to every part of the empire, and we may say to every part of the world, the convenience of the public generally, and especially the trading portion of the people, would be con sulted in a matter which concerns them more nearly than can be appreciated under the present high postage charges. W e strongly recommend every person connected with trade to examine these covers, and read Mr. Hill's pamphlet, from whom the recommendation comes, and to prepare themselves for. petitioning garliament the very day it meets for the adoption generally of Mr. Hill's plan. We cannot pass over Mr. Wallace's claims to public gratitude in this matter, as, but for the exposure he has made of the mis management of the Post-office, neither Mr. Hill nor any other man would have been listened to. We farther thank Mr. Wallace for bringing the stamp-covers out for practical examination, as by much the most convincing mode of going to work in any practical measure.—Glasgow Chronicle. ESCAPE FROM A TIGER.-Lieut. F. Hughes, of the ith Light, Cavalry, had a narrow escape from a tiger on the 23d of March, between the stations of Jubblepore and Kampttee. He was in the act of stooping to get a flower from the jungle, about two hundred yards from the road side, when he heard a rustling noise behind him. He im mediately turned his head to see what it was, when he be held a h ug e tiger within a few yards of him. In the fright and hurry of the moment, when endeavouring to rise, he trod on the skirts of his dressing gown, and fell backwards. He was at the same moment seized by the brute, which caught him over the waistband of his trousers in its mouth. In this position the beast was dragging him when he got his hand into his pocket and drew a small double-barrelled pistol, which he placed as direct for the animal's mouth as the position in which he lay would admit, fired, and in an instant was free ; for the tiger made a tremendous spring forward, carrying with it the clothes which it grasped. DISGRACEFUL SCENE.—We learn that the Ger man Reformed Church, in Forsyth-street, was yesterday desecrated by a scene of violence and disorder, reflecting the deepest disgrace on all parties concerned in it. The following are the leading particulars as they have been com municated to us :—About eleven o'clock two Clergymen, followed by their respective friends, simultaneously entered the church and made for the pulpit. On reaching the sacred desk, the passage was mutually disputed vi et armis, and sticks and clubs were put freely in requisition, being sup plied by breaking up the rails round the altar. Possession of the pulpit was gained alternately by both parties, and both parties alternately dislodged. While matters were in this frightful state of victory and defeat, the alarm-bell was rung, and th e fi remen rus h e d to t h e spot, d eterm i ne d , we believe, t o th row co ld water upon t h e fi ery va l our o f t h e Reverend Belligerents. In the meantime, however, a strong party from the police-office parted the combatants, cleared the church, and closed it, very much to the dissa tisfaction of both parties. The Clergymen are said to have fought like very Bluchers, having their clerical garments torn to rags, and one of them retiring with a remarkably bloody nose, received ad ostium ecclesice. On the whole, it is the grossest outrage that has ever occurred in this country, and it is mortifying to record a transaction so deeply disgraceful to the city, and especially to the Minis ters of religion engaged in it. If any of the particulars here given are exaggerated or erroneously stated in any respect, they shall be corrected with greater pleasure than we here give them. —New York Paper. DRANI-DRINICING.—A hundred years ago the inhabitants of the metropolis were grievously addicted to drunkenness (particularly the lower classes), as may be ima gined from the fact that there were then three times as many houses open for the sale of spiritous liquors as there are now, although the town then was little more than a third of the size it is at present. The following is an ac count of the houses of this description in 1736 :—lnns, 207 ; taverns, 447 ; coffee-houses, 551 ; ale-houses, 5,975 ; brandy-shops, 8 , 6 59—t0tal 1.5 839. The population at that time, ac cor di ng to Price, was about 630,000, whereas , the quantity of gin consumed annually amounted to 7,000,000 gallons ; on the other hand the population in 1835 was 1,776,500, and the number of houses of this de scription did not exceed 5,000, from which it would appear that there were, at the former period, nine times as many spirit shops in the metropolis as there are at the present time, in proportion to the population.—London as It is. M. Cousin, the well known picture dealer in Paris, bought at the auction at the Hotel de Maille, in the month o f April last, for 59 francs, a picture which, on examining it at his own house, he was soon convinced was a gem of seine value. lie entertained no doubt that it was an ori ginal Raphael, worth at least 100,000 francs. This cir cumstance was talked of, and it was found that the picture i n question belonged to one of the Royal Palaces, and had been sold by the auctioneer through a mistake. This affair will probably lead to two lawsuits. The French Govern ment claim the picture from the heirs of the Duke de Maille, or a pecuniary indemnification of 20,000 francs The family of M. de Maille, on the other hand, call on M. Cousin to restore the picture, which he refuses to do. It seems that M. Cousin has much over-estimated the value of his prize. The picture is only a copy, the original timing preserved at Dusseldorf. August 24, 1837. " Sir—l beg leave to transmit to you the translated copy of a notification issued by his Prussian Majesty's Government at Stralsund, referring to certain beacons which have been erected at Arkona, upon the peninsula Wittow, adjacent to the island of Rugen, and I shall feel obliged by your giving the necessary publicity thereof, for the benefit of British ship -masters fre. quenting that part of the Baltic. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, " B. HEBELER, Prussian Consul-General. " To Wm. Dobson, Esq., Secretary to the Committee for Managing the Affairs of Lloyd's." NOTIFICATION. " ' At Arkona. upon the Peninsula Wittow, which is joined to the Island of Rugen, there is a projecting from the point of the Redoubts, a stone in the direction of east north, at 9 . 1 ., cables length, which is dangerous to ships drawing much water, and therefore has hitherto been marked by a buoy 434 fathoms distant from the beach; but as this mark has been frequently disturbed it has been determined to put up a permanent one. This consists of two land beacons, "one of which is fixed on the rampart of Arkona, and the other in the plain of the Redoubt, which point precisely to the outermost end of the reef. The farthest of these beacons is provided with a black basket signal, of a round shape, and the foremost one with a similar basket, painted red, in the form of an oblong square. Ships entering into Tramper Wick, or which want to make for Arkona, if they draw twelve feet water or upwards, must not approach the point in question any closer when the two beacons are seen from the deck in a straight line in the direction of west i south, in which case the ship is again 434 fathoms distant. If the square signal is observed to be higher than the round one it detultcs that the ship has got too near the shore, and must im mediately steer For the offing.

Yesterday Mr. &mud Bowles, a salesman in New gate-market, appeared before Mr. Conn, a County Ma gistrate, this being the third examination, for refusing to support his illegitimate offspring, Georgiana Davenport, de scribed as a lunatic, and now a pauper at Miles's Lunatic Asylum at the expense of the parish of St. Luke's. „fitter hearing the arguments on both sides, the order was confirmed. The defendant appeared against the decision. HATTON-GARDEN. Mary Pagan, a decent-looking woman, about forty years of age, was brought to the office in the custody of Baylis, the officer of this establishment, charged by Elizabeth Short, a pert, fresh-coloured, pretty faced girl, about 19 or 20 years of age, with having t.ssaulted her. The office was crowded to hear the examination, and amongst them was an elderly, pale-faced, decriped elderly man upon crutches, who seemed to feel great interest in the case. The co m plainant stated, with flippancy, that she resided in St. Helena-place, Clerkenwell, and she was employed to nurse the defendant's husband, and on Monday morning last, she rushed into her room, and struck her violently. Mr. LAING—Did you give her no provocation ?—Com plainant—None whatever, your Worship. Mr. LAING—Have you got any witnesses ?—Mr. Pagan (the decrepid old gentleman, on crutches)—Will you allow me to speak ? Mr. LAING inquired who he was ; and being informed that he was the defendant's husband, his evidence was dis pensed with. Mr. Laing said he suspected that there was something at the bottom of all this, and he asked the de fendant what she bad to say ?—Defendant—My husband has deserted me, and, having heard that he was living with Elizabeth (the complainant), I came to London from Greenwich, and ascertained where they were living, and, o❑ proceeding to the house, I knocked at the room door, which being opened, I found my husband in bed ; the com plaint ryas undressed, and her ddv a v n ;l d s s tE e tr a rui u p iczeka w b: ile e le r tarht o . ton), on the certainly : bed a . sk l dtiEleli a defendant's wtials 'ev. enraged, Mr. LAI.,, .nurse him, and I have a witness she was living with —Oh, dear no ; I only to prove it.

Witness, after e, - .nsidor. able hesitation, replied to hell. She was then sworn. Mr. LAING—Pray what do you know of the partite Witness—l am first cousin to Elizabeth. Mr. LAING—Do you know the defendant ? 'Witness —Yes ; she is my aunt. Mr. LAING—Does her husband live with Elizabeth ? Witness (hesitatingly)—She only lives in the same room. Mr. LAING—On your oath, does she sleep with him? Witness—No, your worship. Mr. LAING—Does she sleep with him in the sarn room ? Witness—No, she only goes there with him. Mr. LAING—How many beds are there in the room Witness—Only one. Mr. LAlNG—Where does Elizabeth go to when your uncle leaves to go to bed ? Witness—To the same room, Sir. Mr. LAING—Does she remain there ? Witness (simply) —Yes, Sir, to nurse him.—(La4,llter.)
