Though the worthy Ma gistrate was of opinion, that Watson, tinder the Act, was not entitled to hold back the goods,. yet, 'suspecting some collusion on the part of theiew, he refused !to comply with his application, until the person should :come forward froM whom .he had purchased the duplidate!;.- GUILDAALL.—S. Peannupt, examined last week on a charge of deserting his wife and two chil dren in the City, and afterwards marrying a se cond wife at Edmonton, by whom be had ano ther child, was again brought up, and the Parish Officers from Edmonton attended. It appeared, from their infmMation, that there was strong ground to believe be had married a third wife. The Alderman observed, that the prisoner had apparently been making a trade of matrimony, and, advised the officers to prosecute him. He was remanded for further examination on Friday. BOW-STREET.—It was yesteslay stated that, a girl of the name of Ann Ahmore, who was a ser va;lt to Air. Hill, a publican in Bermondsey,. was committed frail. Union-hall, in the Borough, on suspicion of being concerned in robbing her mas ter's house of a silVer watch, and other property to a considerable amount. The transaction Was farther investigated yesterday at this Office, when, a - scene of early and aged depravity was" iscovered, in which a parent 'was proved to have been training up his son, from infancy, to infamy and house breaking. Yesterday morning a man went to the shop of Mr; Allen, pawnbroker, iii Russell-street,Covent garden, and offered a watch to pawn for thirty shillings. Mr. Allen, suspecting the watch to have been stolen, questioned theonan as to how he became possessed of it ; WIYO not being able to give a satisfactory answer, he sent for Smith, be longing to this Office, who took him into cus tody. Having recognised him to be a man of the name <of Thomas Boggintea, and ascertained that the watch had been stolen from Mr. Hill's house, Smith' went to search his .premises in Long-lane, in company with Goff, the officer, belonging to Union-Hall. There was the ap pearance of a' smith's shop, which they'search ed, and fouiid a number of impleMents for house-breaking. They found a son of Bogginten's there, a boy about 13 years of, age,who asked if his_ father was taken into cdstody; they informed him he was, and to convince him, they sheaved him the watch which had been stolen from Mr. Hill's house. The boy then confeised that . his father was' very intimate with Ann Ashmore, and that she and his father planned the robbery of her master's house. He sahrhe had accompanied his father on the occasion, , and described ,at length' the mode in which the house was broken open. The boy has since confessed that his father had instructed him to assist in housebreaking from his infancy. The 'prisoner was sent to Union-Hall-Office, where the investigation commenced. On,MOnday night, about half-past eleven o'clock, a man was ON'erved Joitcrilw about the town of Breatford : a watchman as led hint if . he was waiting for any body, or what was his business there at that time of the night. The fellow re fused to give any account of hinisel The i'vatelt man then told him, that unless 14. coMplied,with his request he should take him into custody. The fellow put him at defiance ; and the watchman per . - severing, the fellow gave him a violent blow on his head, which knocked laM down : the watchman, however, did not let him escape a violent scuffle ensued. .An inhabitant of the name of Hughes, a' haker,.canie up at the instant, and assisted the watchman in securing him. Oa searching him, two loaded pistols \ vere - found, and implements of honsebreaking. He was recognized to . have.been seen in a small cart, with two other men, a short time precious; in the neighbonr !food and . there *as no doubt entertained but it Was their intention .to have broke • open some .wealthy inhabitant's house, and to have carried off the ,property in the cart. Yesterday he was examined at the Office, when he provedto be an old offender of the name-of Bill Jacklin. IthaLsoitouGH-sTnEET.7--AFrencli dentiSt, Ivho lodges in Bond-street, was charged by a youno - Lady, who occupies part of the same house, rn the millinery and fancy business-, with viblently as saiating her and threatening her life with a case knife. She stated that she was unconscious of having given any sort of offence to the defendant : 'but on Sunday foftnight he attacked her sudlenly . in her drawing-room, with a knife in his hand, drove her into a corner, and swore he 'would he . revenged on her ; shaking her with one hand, and' with the . other menacing her with' a large knife. The complainant was too much alarmed to call out, and the defendant left the room on th e lady's partner approaching. ' This was permitted to pass •over until . Sunday• last, when the defendant split the kitchen door with a poker, and pursued ano ther lady into the street. In answer to the charge, the dentist stated that bristles had been put into his bed,thathis night-cap, brass door-plate, &c. had been' taken away ; but' he dtd riot - shew that the prosecntrix, or her partner, kneW of any such transactions. The defendant denied that he had either knife or poker in his haud. He was held in sureties to keep the peace. Bates, Roberts, and a woman named Lipscomb, were commuted for breaking into the room of an industrious couple, in Charles-strect;Drury-lane, and stealing a box containing 61. which had been' put by for rent, and all their clothing. Some' of . the clothes were found. The prisoners lodged in the house. A good way to pay old debts, and to prevent the recurrence of them in future, is to .buy a Ticket or Share in the Curious State Lottery to be ,all drawn Next Tuesday Morning, when an Ad venturer may gain, three times as much by a Blank as by one of the great Capitals.

It must be most satisfactory to every Well wisher to quiet and gpod order, to know, from the most unquestionable authority, that not less than a thousand men, to whom illegal oaths had been ad , ministered, have within these last fouror five days flocked into the Magistracy at and near StockpOrt, to abjure those oaths, and to take the oath of al legiance to his Majesty. This spirit is hourly.ex tending itself, and it is sincerely to be hoped all persons, who have been unfOrtunatly led to take any such oath will benefit by this example, before the Magistrates can be called upon to make use of the extensive information given by thOse who have already come, in, and who have uniformly testified their joy at being relieved from the des perate situation in which they antecedently stood. Last Tuesday there were only four sacks of grain exposed for sale in the Market at this place. This fact will skew the folly of those who, by their violent proceedings ,on the preceding Market-day, intimidated the farmers and dealer s, and induced them Os withhold the accustomed supply. Of the consequence of such conduct, the populace now seem sensible, and we have .the pleasure to add, that not the least disposition to riot or confusion; has manifested itself either in this town or. the neighbouring villages'during the present week.— To say that no lasting good can result from inti midating the growers of 'corn and the Venders of that article, is indeed to say what is true, but not the whole truth; for such conduct doeS; in fact, produce very great mischief, and greatly aggya e vates the_ evil .4 it is intended to redress, by pre venting the free circulation, of ,provisions e .,aeld in ducing those who deal in them rather to suspend their business than subject themselves to insult and outrage ; and the ,consequence of this is very ob vious Markets are scantily supplicu, and the price is enhanced, or kept high when a . reduction would otherwise take place. A very little time will, we trust, alleviate the sufferings of the labouring classes ;. every day,. almost, will now add to the stores of grain ; and when the ' vest is got in, a very considerable depression in the price may be confidently anticipated. In the mean time, let those who have abundance, distri bute to their necessitous neighbours, and in sup plying the scanty board of their less tortnnate fellow-ereatures, theyew!ll an additional -zest to their,own enjoyments. Our llnddersfield Correspondent, under the date of the. 27th instant, says :—" Last Friday'night about 50 men, all armed With guns, went to the house of Me. Edward Henworth, a 'farmer, at Sheepridge; about two miles from Huddersfield, and after breaking open his door With an iron mall, they demanded a gtin ; but on being told he had no fire arms, they insisted - that he should reduce the price of his corn and, milk ; and then proceed : ing to destroy his furniture, they broke to pieces his clock, tables,• and every thing of value in his house. After this wanton outrage, they proceed ed to several other houses in that neighbourhood, where they committed similar depredations; and then dispersed. We have now upwards of .100 soldiers in this town—the publicans are very much distressed to accommodate them. . There are only about . X 3 publie-houses in the town; so that each house has, on an average . , Upwards of 30 soldiers. Hov long 'this is tci continue We cannot tell.'' Last night, a little before twelve o'clock, a fire broke out in ahouse in Union-street, Marylebonne, which entirely consumed it ; but' by the timely ar rival of the engines, and the activity of the lire men, was . prevented from spreading further. We are happy to say no lives were lost. LONDON Print by THOMAS WOOD,' of N 0.35, Maiden-latie, Covent-prdeu; : and PublishM by WILLIAM ARMIGERZ SCRIPPS, South Koh( At filo Sfltsr (li.vrcr. No. 112.

We - would ,be inclined to suppose, from the pe' rnsal of some recent parap . ;;'aphs in the public prints that the merits and services of the late Major General Le Marchant were very little known. Tr . true that the Country owes the existence of th Itoyi Military College, entirely to' the sugges: tioM, and excellent regulations for its .._novernmen !which Majo r Ge n er a l Le M arc h an t submitted - t the Duke of York, under whose auspices it ha . reached that stage of perfection, which renders i an object of the first national importance. W . 'shall not dwell upon the unwearied. assiduity 'the deceased, to realise the. expectations tipple had,been formed of the infant esta.blisbnicnt, of - which he ‘vas the founder, and Continued Lleute:- nant-Governor until the time . he was appointed to the Army under Lord Wellington. Suffice it tO 'remark, that they corresponded with the 7.-iizbes of the most sanguine advocates for the -introcific;• tion of the system of, education which it embraces; and they have been duty appreciated by his Royal Highness the Commander s t n Chief, and by the Many-officers who have ,had opportunities, of wit nessing then. effects, not only at the College, but by the eminent, improvement which thstinguished the present staff and yOunger Officers of the Army, who now possess. a general knowledge of their, profession, which is not suipaSsed in any other service in the world. It is to the unbounded zeal andextensiveMinj of Major-General Le Marchant, that .our caval are indebted for their superior skill in the sword 'exercise. He not only wrote an able. code of rego4. lati'ons and instructions for that branch of militarf science; which - was published by Royal authoritil for the guidance of the army, but by his own su perintendance and persevering toil, he forrired, in the almost incredible space of a few months, a suf. ficient numberof the regular fencible and yeomanry. cavalry of Englaud, to whom he conveyed and completed his instructions to the whole body of - 1 regulars and fencibles, as well as to most, if not all the corps of yeomanry, who most commendably vied with the regular establishments in the attain- merit . of this useful exercise. It maywell he trill). - said, that by the introduction of the sword exer cise, which has improved the horsemanship; and . impressed.the dragoon with a confidence, which he before wanted, in his own personal skill as a swordsthan, ,the British cavalry has attained a .state of discipline which, with the aid of- their characteristic valour, render them absolutely irre sistible, and we revert with grateful recollection to the instance of proof for this • remark which ; this gallant officer himself afforded at. Llerida, in the month of June last, where, at the head of only three squadrons of the sth Dragoon Guards , he - boldly charged; and instantly broke and dis persed three of the finest regiments of cavalry in the French service, and thereby-discomfited a.pre: concerted plan of attack upon a division 01 our brave army, of much inferior force to the enemy. .; It is to the abil'ty of Major-General Le I‘l:ir - chant that the service owes also the clear eluct-;; i dation of General Dtindas'sm cavalry moveents, i which has been published by command of his.M . ~. je':.:ty, for the instruc'tion of the 011it - :ers ; a cirl • cutustance which suiiiciently stamps the merit ads -- utility of the work. _ 'We believe that his Services in the cavalry ceeded a term of 27; years—and. we know that be harprevionsly served in the Royals at Gibraltar-_ His debut in the dragoons was in the Enniskillens , in which be purchased a Cornetoy, and where the • dawn of kis military zeal displayed itself and at' tracted•the notice of the Commanding Officer, the present Lord Heathfield, by whom he was selected out of his , tour of duty to command his Majesty' escort at Weymouth. He here soon - gained and :ever preserved the confidence of his Sovereign, bY - whom he was honoured with a Lientenantey the Queen's or 2d regiment of Dragoon Guards , and hi which- he aftef•wards- purchased a 'troop., tend subsequently a Majority in the 16th Light Dragoons, from which . he succeeded- to a Vert tenarit-Colimelcy without purchase,-in the %di.' We appreciate thevalue of.his conduct in all these corps, by the'high estimation in which he WOI' ever held by their respective Colonels—Lord s Heathfield, Pembroke, and Harcourt, and Sir David .Dundas. Major-General Le Marchant was a native of !Guernsey, and married an amiable 'and accom .plished lady of that island, 'by whom he had a., numerous family of nine children ; she died on l /, eleven months ago, giving birth to her surviving infant. The General was,47 years of age when he terminated his career of honour, in the glo rious ,pattle of Salamanca=--a day which will ever stand' the boast Of British prowess. We refraill from attempting to depict, the interesting•end fecting scene of his glorious end. he feelings of an eldest,son, a fine youth of eighteen year s of age, acting as his. Aide-de-Camp, and c harg-• ing gallantly by hiS side, os'erwhelmed at once in the midst of the brilliant charge, by the fall of : his revered parent, requires a power of deseriptiott , which we conf4s ourselves unequal to, and must' leave it to abler hands to destribe the general synv pithy which the event must-eicite in the breas t of every Englishman.
