To be Incorporated by Act of Parliament. Capital 1,000,000/., in 10,000 Shares of 100/. each. Deposit 2/. per Share. The Provisional Directors, including many distinguished Mem lbers of the Legislature, Auditors, Trustees, Actuary, Standing ( Counsel, Physicians, Surgeons, Secretary, and Manager and other `Officers, w ill b e pu bli s h e d i n a f ew d ays , w h en th e List is com pleted. ADDRESS. The Dissenters, as a body, have hitherto possessed no Insurance company, yet there are many reasons why the Members of Dis senting Congregations should themselves enjoy, instead of bestow lug 'upon others, the advantages arising from their religious and 'floral habits, nu m be rs , an d w e a lth. They have hitherto contri buted to the profits of the various Insurance Companies that exist by paying the same sums for policies and annual premiums as the irreligi ous an d intemperate, while it is well known to all that persons of calm and equable minds, temperate habits, and sound moral con duct live, on the average, much longer than the other class of in surers, and consequently may and ought to be insured at much lower premiums. The Society of Friends have for some time known and acted upon these truths. They have discovered that human life with those who are habitually temperate, mild, and , aloral, is, on the average, ten per cent. longer in duration than with the mass of society. Why should not the same causes pro (Ate the same effects among members of Dissenting Congregations ? and if so, why should net Dissenters in general enjoy the advantage now alone possessed by the Quakers in particular ? The leading object of this Company will be to secure to members of the Dissenting body, properly certificated as such, the advantages of their position, by effecting their policies tea per cent. lower than those of the - public in general, and taking for the standard of the latter the terms of those respectable offices upon whom the world has long set the seal of its approbation. To enable a poor man to effect those prudent arrangements for his family in case of his death, to which his inclination and his duty most alike prompt, this Company will accept of quarterly paymerr s, and will pay policies, in case of death, though the premium may be a quarter in arrear, and will renew such as are a twelvemonth in arrear upon the original terms, provided a proper medical certificate be .produced, and those arrears paid. Thus, by paying less than 10s. per quarter, a member of a Dis s•nting congregation, aged 30, may insure to his widow and family, or to whatever other use he may please, 1001. to be paid at his death; and should he be unable, from unforeseen afflictions, to continue to . snake those payments, the Company will purchase his poliey, or „ *mow him three months' credit without injury to the objects of his solicitude. The best and latest plans of insuring for terms of years, or on graduated ascending or descending scales, at the option of the in surer or en survivorships, will also be adopted. It is proposed, in addition to the General Board of Directors an nually elected, to hare Local Boards in every large town or dis trict, to promote the objects of the Institution, of which the Minis ters of the Dissenting Congregations shall alw - ifi be Honorary Members. The General Directors must be Holders, while they continue such, of 100 shares each, and the Local Directors, except such Ministers of Congregations, of 50 shares each, otherwise ine ligible. . The Insurances against Fire will be upon the same terms as those of other respectable offices, it being recollected that a reduc tion may take place in those terms favourable to the insurers, should they principally consist of Dissenters. All communications must be made, and prospectuses and further particulars may be obtained, at our offices in the Guildhall-)ard, and at No. 11, Park-street, Westminster. CHARLES PEARSON and WILKINSON, Solicitors to the Company. THE FREQUENT ROBBERIES of PLATE have induced JOHN JAMES RIPPON, of Wells-street, Oxford -street, to MANUFACTURE BRITISH PLATE of such a superior quality that it will require the strictest scrutiny to distinguish it from Silver, than which it is more durable; it improves with use, every article is made of solid wrought material, and is warranted to stand the test of aquafortis. s. d. s. d.

THE Season having arrived when supplies of Brandy are required for the above preparations, it is right that the superior merits of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY should be borne in mind ; as, from its extreme purity and perfect freedom from those acids which exist in French Brandies, it is, in a peculiar degree, adapted to those purposes. It is also strongly re lcoomraended by the Faculty, and particularly at this season, as a substitute for Beer or other fermentable liquors, when diluted with water in the proportion of ono to six or seven; in which state the pric,, but little exceeds that of Malt Liquor. As Distillers, J. T. BETTS and Co. cannot send out less than two Gallons, which may be obtained, either pale or coloured, at lighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, of the highest legal str , ngt!l, at the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-bars, leaaling to St. John- street, which is their only establishment.

THUNDER STORM-MIRACULOUS PRESERVATION OF LIFE. On Sunday morning, the 20th instant, we were visited by a very severe thunder storm, which lasted for an bole ,nd a half. The lightning was very alarming, but fortu dately did no damage in the city. At Buxburn, a little village about two miles west of this, one of the houses was :truck by the electric fluid, and perhaps the preservation of the inmates is the most singular instance of the kind upon record. To enable our readers to form a proper estimate of the damage done, and the danger to which the family were exposed, we shall just describe the horse and its situa tion. The toll road to Banff passes through Buxburn, in a line with the Inverury canal, and separated therefiom by a row if houses, one story high, with attic rooms. The distance between these houses and the canal is eight feet, four of which are occupied with pig sties. The house on the north-east end of the row contains four apartments on the ground floor, eight feet by twelve. The upper apart ments arc not subdivided, and have only one window in 'itch of the 'rooms ; there is a fire-place and window i n either side. A father, his wife, and their children were in the east lower room on Sunday at eleven o'clock. The father was sitting on a chair, placed in the corner be tween the fire-place and the window ; the mother was sweeping the floor, and the children were toddling about the room amusing themselves with a hen, which seemed more anxious to profit by the meeliks of bread which fell from their hands, than willing to obey the counsels of the guid wife to retire. The storm had raged for nearly half an hour previous, but it never occurred to the family that their little cot was the only one that would be visited by its dire effects. A little before eleven o'clock, the lightning struck the east gable, and scattered the stones in various directions. It then entered the front room, first rent the gable in its passage down the chimney, then dislodged a pot from the crook, and placed it safely on the fire : next laid the occupant of the chair flat on his face on the floor, frightened the mother and the children, and killed poor chucky. It now made its escape through the window, smashing the one-half of the sash, and carrying every pane of glass before it. So tremendous was the force of the ex plosion, that the sound resembled a discharge of artil lery, and the glass was scattered all over the road to a dis tance of fifty-four feet, and as small as if it had been ground to powder. A portion of the fluid which entered the back room was more destructive, but there being no per son in it, the only damage done was to the walls and the window. It - would appear that a small part only of the lightning bad escaped by the back window, as several of the panes of glass were left whole ; but so powerful had been the force against the north-east corner, that it tore up the ground, went down underneath the foundation, and bursting the wall in two different places, cut a passage through the canal bank, and disappeared in the canal. In its way thither, it had paid a visit to one of the pigsties, where it paralyzed the two hind legs of one sow, stunned ano ther, and terrified a litter of pigs. The sow that was pa ralyzed has not yet recovered, nor is it likely that she will ever recover the use of her limbs. Another portion which entered by the attic vent, like the others rent the wall in its progress downwards, and then exercised its fury against the room-door, by shivering it to atoms, and dashing the frag ments against the door of the opposite room with such force as to send it right forward to the fire-side, to the no small astonishment of an old man who was sitting there at his book. It then fell out with the window, and, by bursting the glass, effected its escape. It. is remai kable that, with the exception of the crockery-ware in the back room, none of the forniture was injured, nor a single article displaced on the floor.

I.—The times are exceedingly dull for news, and I have but a few items to communicay, and those of no great importance. The molt interesting is the fact of the continued influx of silver from Mexico and else where. On the 21st ult. two schooners arrived at New Orleans, from Tampico, bringing nearly 197,000 dollars. and with information that the great conducts with two mil lions was expected daily at Tampico, most of it intended for New Orleans and New York. At New Orleans specie had fallen 10 per cent. premium, and several of the banks were resuming payment, by giving out silver for their fives, tens, and twenties, and a per tentage on their bills of larger denominations. Here the supply of both silver and gold is ample, notwithstanding the demand for shipment. Four packets sail this day for Liverpool, London, and Havre, and carry out about 800,000 dollars ; yet the sales yesterday were no higher than 8/ premium for American gold, 9 for American silver, and 10 for Spanish. Sove reigns, a small lot of 600, brought .5 dollars and 35 cents, the actual par value being about 4 dollars 80 cents. The crops are very promising throughout the country, especially those of grain. The new wheat is coming in, and as yet brings good, though not extraordinary prices. The cotton craps look well, but will not be as large as in former years. In politics we have little stirring of interest. The ap proach of the extraordinary Session of Congress will, doubt less, occasion some activity, but, as yet, little is said even upon this subject. The elections to fill up the Congres sional vacancies are going on, and generally show adversely to the Adminstration ; but it is probable that the state of parties in both Houses will not vary much from that of last Session. The change will be in favour of the Opposition, but it will be very slight. A very considerable change is believed, however, to have taken place in the opinions of the Administration Members, or at least of many of them, on the subjects of banking and the currency. It is thought that the hard-money notions of General Jackson will be thrown overboard, and that a great effort will be made to unite both parties on some plan of a national bank. The Keeleys return to England in the Shakspea e packet of this morning. They have made Hosts of friends, public and private. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

Dysentery is extending the number of its patients but the disease is mitigated in severity. Few houses have escaped a visitation. WIRTJ it has been taken in its first stage and prompt remedies applied it has not assumed a dangerous form. But neglect has in almost all cases proved fatal. The only medicine which has been effectual is lau danum, which is prescribed in considerable doses. The best preventive is care to avoid unwholesome food, in temperance, and any thing which has a tendency to depress the tone of the system. A small quantity of brandy and water taken after dinner has been found very benefi cial. On the first symptom of the disease shelving itself, which it does in the form of a violent diarrhoea, a dose of rhubarb with a small quantity of laudanum is recommended, and in the majority of cases has proved a cure. At Bridg water a few cases have appeared, and same deaths have occurred at Seaton and Sidmouth.—Somerset Gazelle. GENTLEMEN THIEVES.—On Saturday, at the Liverpool Police-office, a dashing young man, named Richard Nott, was placed at the bar, charged with having stolen a gold watch from the shop of Mr. Verly, of Parker-street. Mr. Thomas, the deputy-constable of Manchester, stated, that about four months ago, a young man, named Howell, the son of a highly-respectable person of Bristol, was in his custody, charged with robberies from shops to some extent, and that his father having arrived at Manchester, no prose cution had taken place. Since that time, however, be (Mr. Thomas) had received a communication which led him to believe that the prisoner (who was also at Manchester, and took great interest in the affair of Howell) had followed the same profession, and, in conjunction with the latter, bad committed various serious robberies. The letter pointed out the time and- circumstances of several, one of which was the stealing of the watch in question. The prisoner was employed as a clerk in the Custom-house, in Liver pool, whither Mr. T. repaired on Friday, and, on seeing him, inquired if he had recently heard of his friend Mr. H. " Not very lately," said the prisoner, " I hope he has not done any wrong again." " No," said Mr. Thomas, " but I have reason to believe you have also done wrong, and that in May last you stole a watch from Mr. Verly, Parker-strect,s in this town." " Dear me," said the prisoner very coolly, " I have not a watch except an old one that is at my lodg ings." " That is strange," said Mr. Thomas, " you have a handsome gold chain guard now on your neck ; is there no watch at the end of it ?" and seizing it, he drew forth the identical watch, exclaiming," This is the watch 1" when the prisoner confessed it was indeed the watch, and entreated Mr. Thomas t; compromise the affair, and not expose him. A peculiarly handsome ring, with a ruby set on it, was also on his finger, which, with the chain, supposed to have been stolen, were put into the hands of Halsall the officer, with a view to inquiry being made. The evidence of Mr. Tho mas and Mr. Verly was taken, and they were bound over to appear to prosecute. The prisoner was ordered to be brought up again on Wedneaday.—Liverpool Albion. PRICE sd. LAW INTELLIGENCE. BANKRUPTCY COURT, Aua. 29. SUBDIVISION COURT.-WILLIA M LAW'S BANKRUPTCY. The Commissioners, Mr. Fonblanque, Mr. Fane, and Mr. Holroyd, sat to-day to give judgment upon an impor tant point raised under the fiat issued against the bankrupt in this cause. The main question was, whether a judg ment upon the cognovit could be opened, with the view of showing that errors existed in the amount of debt confessed by the bankrupt previously to a fiat of bankruptcy issued against him. The bankrupt had become indebted to tile parties seeking to prove in some mercantile transactions to the amount, as stated in the depositions, of 5,5671.165. 3d., for which a cognovit was given, and the creditors having entered up judgment they now sought to prove their debt, the debtor having been protected by a fiat of bankruptcy issued against him. The claim to prove was opposed by the assignees on behalf of the estate, on the ground that errors existed in the accounts between the bankrupt, one point being that certain bills had been drawn in London, dated Guernsey, and without the necessary stamp. On a former occasion Counsel were heard for and against the proof. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE to-day gave the opinion of the Court. The question was, whether a judgment on a cognovit was or was not conclusive as to the amount of a proof in bankruptcy. On that point himself and his brother Commissioners were of opinion that a judgment was not conclusive, but that the amount and validity of the debt might be investigated, and set aside if a specific and equitable ground of relief could be made out, in the same manner as a Court of Equity would grant assistance in the event of fraud, collusion, error, &c , being alleged. There must, in this case, however, be circumstances of relief specifically stated, and if the parties could show this they were at liberty to investigate the debt._ . . Mr. Commissioner FANE and Mr. Commissioner HoL ROYD concurred in this opinion. An investigation into the accounts of the claimant will therefore be opened if the parties can establish a specific equitable ground for such a proceeding. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday James Sexton, a man of colour, was placed at the bar, charged by Mrs. Amelia Cook, of Harper-street, Red Lion-square, with having obtained three sovereigns and other property from her under false pretences. After hearing evidence, Mr. ROGERS committed him to the House of Correction and hard labour for three months. Catherine Davies was charged by Mary Sharman, of Charles-street, Hatton-garden, with robbing her ready-fur nished lodgings, and having committed a violent assault. The prisoner, who is a powerful woman, said nothing in her defence, and she was fully committed for trial. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. An operative barber in Soho, who put forth his claims to public patronage under the intelligible designation of " tricocopotontic perruquier," and who assumes the modest motto of " Veni, vide, vici," was charged with having, against the peace of our Sovereign Lady the Queen, admi nistered an unlawful punch on the head to a child of one of his lodgers. The complainant detailed the assault, and called a witness in corroboration. It came out, however, that the grava men of the complaint against the tricocoptontic perruquier consisted of certain proceedings which had taken place be twixt him and the mamma of the boy, an Amazonian dame of somewhere about five and thirty. It ,was asserted that the tricocoptonic perruquier took the liberty of pulling off the lady's knocker, cutting the wire of her door-bell, and abstracting the brass plate, on which was set forth the lady's name and occupation—that of dressmaker and milli ner. The boy having, as was alleged, been assaulted, the circumstance was considered to offer a fair opportunity of having all unpleasant matters brought to an issue. In defence the. tricocoptontic perruquier denied the at sault on. the boy ; and as an evidence that the charge was not correctly founded, he called a little girl, whose petite proportions induced the magistrate to question her before her evidence was given. MAGISTRATE —Now, little girl, you have been sworn ; do you know the nature of an oath ? .Girl—Oh yes, Sir. MAGISTRATE—TeII me where people go who do not speak the truth ? Girl—To old Bogy.—(Laughter.) The answer being considered satsfactory, she was allowed to make her statement ; after which the bench, on a due consideration of the evidence, decided upon holding the tri cocoptontic perruquier to bail in his own recognizance. MARY LEB ONE. Yesterday, a dashingly-attired French-woman was placed at the bar, charged with having conducted herself in the following' extraordinary manner :—Mr. John Holmes, a boo:-maker, residing at N 0.21, Wyndham-street,Bryanston square, stated that on the previous day the defendant, who represented herself to be a stay-maker, patronised by a number of ladies of ton, took possession of apartments at his (complainant's) house, and in ortkr that she might not on the first day of her occupation be incommeded, an invitation was given toiler to dine with the family, which she accepted, and after the repast she retired to her own dressing room. She had not been long there before she went out for a bottle of port and a half: pint of brandy, when she sat herself quietly down, and after despatching the whole of it exhibited herself at the window, where, being bacchi plenus, she threw herself into the most ludicrous attitudes, and by other conduct of an eccentric description caused a consider able crowd to assemble, in the midst of which was an itine rant organist, who, by her express orders, played the beau tiful air of " Jim Crow," to which she kept as good time as she was able with her feet ; she also threw into the street various pieces of money, for which the lookers on had a general scramble, and many were the heads and noseshruised and broken. Complainant remonstrated with her, but to no purpose, and he at length gave her into custody. Bishop, 30 D, said, that when he was called in, the de fendant was capering about on the staircase in her night clothes. He assisted in dressing her, and then took her to the station-house. Mr. RAWLINSON —You assisted ! What, was there no female there to do it? Witness—No, your Worship. I was actually compelled to lend a hand. Defendant—Yes, indeed, Sir ; and if you'll believe me, the impudent fellow would put on my stockings and garters Witness—lt's false, your Worship. I didn't do any such thing. Madame was fined ss. for being drunk, and ordered to find bail for her better behaviour in future. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Ellen Ifri!liana, a smartly-dressed young wo man, was brought before Mr. TRAIL, charged with robbing her husband, to whom she had only been married six months, of 3.51. One of the inspectors of the M division, addressing the Magistrate, said that in the course of that morning the complainant brought his wife by force to the station house, and insisted upon her being taken into custody for robbing him of 35/. The charge, of course, was re fused, on the ground that a wife was not answerable te fore any tribunal for plundering a husband ; but, upon this intelligence being communicated to the complainant, he not only expressed the utmost surprise, but exclaimed strongly against the law of the land, and expressed his determination to take the law into his own hands, and convey his wife forthwith before a Magistrate to answer for her conduct. The inspector added that the complainant then took the trembling culprit round the waist, and marched her off to this office, and he (the inspector) fol lowed, to prevent any unpleasant consequences on the way, as well as to witness the result of the affair. Mr. TRAILL said that the inspector was perfectly right in rejecting the charge. The Magistrate then asked the complainant what he wanted. Williams—l hope and trust your Worship will hear the . charge I have against this woman. I have only been mar ried to her six months, and she has robbed me under very distressing circumstances of tbirty•five pounds, all the money I had in the world, and which I have been scraping tooether for the last ten years out of my hard earnings. ° Mr. TRAILL told him that he could not charge his wife with robbing him, for what was his was his wife's also ; and that, therefore, however wrong her conduct was in a moral 6 point of view, he must put up with the inconvenience. • • Williams claimed the attention of the Magistrate while he proceeded to narrate the circumstances under which he got married to his wife, who, he said, completely wheedled him into it, and with a view to plunder him of the money which he had saved and kept in a box at home. SLe prevailed upon him to go out and purchase a mangle for her, to assist in their maintenance, and when he left home for that purpose she took advantage of his absence to break open the box containing his cash, and then decamped, tak ing it with her. Mr. TRAILL again told him that he could not assist him, and that his wife had a right to his property. Williams here bemoaned his hard fate, and said that he was undone, and inquired whether be was bound to support her after what had happened? Mr. TRAILL said, that the parish must not be burthened with her maintenance, and that if she made application for relief and received it he was liable to reimburse it, and if he refttsed,• of being committed to gaol. Williams—Oh, Lord ! What a pretty mess I have made oP my matrimonial speculation. The wife, who stood giggling the whole Cm:: that her husband wcs describing his misfortunes, now began to give i.iro a taste of her tongue, and, looking towards him with a m licious smile, exclaimed, " You hay,. forgotten to men tion a word a b o ut th e lady' that you arc keeping. Sho is outside, let her be brought into the office, and then the murder will out.' I should like to see her here amazingly. This is all done to get rid of me, your lawful married wife ; and here—(holding out her marriage certificate)—bore are my marriage lines, and I'll stick to you like wax. You think, you base man, to g et rid of me now, but I'll lot you know I have some spirit about me yet." The Magistrate, finding that both parties were disposed to remain tormenting each other, desired them to be gently removed outside, where they could give utterance to their complaints without impeding the business of the office. WORSHIP-STREET. Inset FRoLics.—Patrick illeyrick was placed at the bar, charged, on the oath of police-constable G 127, with having caused a disturbance. The officer, on Saturday night, was on duty in Golden lane, when his attention was called to the house, No. 4, Angel-court, in a room of which he heard loud cries of Murder" from several voices, to the terror of the neigh bourhood. He went towards the spot, and by the time he reached it the screams were most alarming. On entering he found a scene of the most frightful disorder. There were between twenty and thirty persons of both sexes. The most appeared excited by drink. Several were on the ground, while the majority of those who were standing were fighting with chairs and tables, the fragment's and splinters of which were flying in all directions: His ap pearance tended in a measure to produce a cessation of warfare with the chairs ; though it was some time before, from the confusion of tongues, he could find who was the aggressor. The prisoner was at length given into his custody. Mr. BROUGHTON asked whether the complainant was present who gave" the prisoner into his custody ? Policeman G 127 said that he was not. The prisoner was discharged. LAMBETH-STREET. SEDUCTION AND DESPERATE ASSAULT.—Yesterday, William Burton, a tailor, was charged before Messrs. COMBES and NORTON, with committing a most violent as sault upon the person of Mr. Edward Davis, who had for many years held a respectable situation in her Majesty's customs, and is at present a shipping clerk at a wharf in Tooley-street. Mr. Davis, who had a desperate wound upon his head, about two inches above his left temple, and who appeared excessively weak from loss of blood, stated that the prisoner had succeeded in seducing and decoying his wife away from him, but owing to his negligence of her she latterly had communication with him (witness) about returning to him. On the previous night, between ten and eleven o'clock, he went to their lodgings in Swan-street, Minories, and finding the door locked he knocked, and his wife asked, " Who is there ?" and he said, "It is me," upon which she ex claimed, " Oh, my God, it is Davis:' The defendant then said, " Stop, don't let him in ; let ma prepare myself for him." The door then opened, and the defendant struck him a violent blow upon the head with a I irge brass poker, and inflicted a deep wound which bled profusely. Mr. NORTON—Did any words pass between the time the door was opened and your being struck, as you have stated, by the prisoner? Witness—None, whatever, Sir, but those I have described. Police constable George Fuller, H 20, deposed that while on duty on the night before, at about 11 o'clock, he heard a violent cry of " Murder" proceed from a house in Swan -street, Minories, which caused him instantly to pro ceed thither, and on going into an apartment which it ap• peered was occupied by the prisoner and the complainant's wife, he found the prisoner and the complainant standing opposite to one another, and the latter bleeding profusely from his head, and his clothes completely covered with gore. The prisoner desired him to take charge of the com plainant, who he said had broken into his room, while the complainant exclaimed that he had seluced and takin away his wife, and he would have his revenge. The complain ant at the same time struck the prisoner a slight blow, but was so faint I'. con loss of blood that he fell s,:nsele:s on the floor. Witness finding the complainant in so shocking a state, sent at once for Mr. Jones, a surgeon in Jewry street, who promptly attended and drewd his wounds,and he (witness) then removed prisoner to the station-house. The witness here pauduced a brass poker with which the wound had been inflicted, and from the force which hai been used it was much bent. In repay to the questions of the Magistrate the witness said that Mr. Jones the surgeon described the wound on the head of the complainant as not of an imme diate dangerous character, but still that its effects might ul timately prove fatal. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, would not deny having struck the blow, or living with the complainant's wife; but the latter was with his (the complainant's) own knowledge and sanction, and the former was his (the hus band's) fault. On the, night before the complainant came to his door, and insisted upon coming in, saying, that if it was not opened he would burst it in. He told him he had better not do so, for that if he (lid it would be worse for him, and he woula resist him as far as he was able ; and .on his forcing the door he certainly d:d strike tim with the poker, but they afterwards fought two rounds before the policeman came in. Mr. ComßEs observed that the attack was of so violent a character that any penalty they (the magistrates) could inflict would be quite inadequate to it. He would, there fore, send the case to the sessions, and ordered the prisoner to - find bail to answer the charge there, and to give 24 hours' notice of the solvency of his sureties. The prisoner was then locked up. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday Thomas Hearn and Henry Hearn, brothers, tvho were stated to be journeymen sawyers, were brought before Mr. BALLANTINE and Mr. BRODERI;', on a charge of assaulting Daniel Collins, a young man, in a most brutal manner, and breaking a gun belonging to him. Witnesses deposed to the unprovoked brutality of the prisoners, and the serious bruises they inflicted on the two engineers. The prisoners, in defence, said they were fi . e3h with liquor, and the two sportsmen used their pieces so awkwardly as to nearly shoot them, and drove one of them iii , o a ditch. Mr. BALLANTINE said the young men had a right to shoot swallows if they pleased, and it was not to be borne that they were to be subject to such a gross and brutal out rage while pursuing a harmless amusement, besides having their property destroyed. As any punishment the Bench could inflict would be quite inadequate to mark such ruf fianly behaviour, he should order the prisoners to find bail, themselves in 801., and two sureties of 401. each, to meet the charge, and answer the indictment at the Sessions. GREENWICH PETTY SESSIONS. TIIE RIOT AT DEPTFORD.—Yesterday William Prebell, Jo:cpli Gidley, Ellen Doggie, and Ain Cook (two girls of loose character), were placed at the bar , charged wi th as saulting several constables of the It division, and putting them in fear of their lives. Police constable Rose, R. 154, on Saturday night, about half-past eleven o'clock, was on duty in the Broadway, Deptford. A great crowd of persons had assembled, and he was told that it was intended to have a fight. The crowd went towards the Lewisham Waterworks, where he urged the combatants to keep the peace. Some one in the crowd said " Why don't you mind the policeman ? He most do his duty. We all know him ; he's a good fellow." The prisoner Prebell, with an oath, exclaimed that " no policeman should stop him." He then told the prisoner that he must come along with him. The prisoner called out to the crowd to protect him, and resisted. Witness struggled to take him. During the struggle witness fell ; when down he was kicked by the crowd. Several persons said, " - him, fling him into the river." By this time police-constable Kirby and another came up, but such was the resistance made by the prisoner and others, that they were compelled to send for assistance, while the stretcher was brought from . the station-house. A despe rate scuffle then took place, during which stones were thing by the mob and many blows were struck. The two females were foremost in the rescue of the prisoner Prebell, whom they assisted in tearing all his wearing apparel off his body, so that with the exception of his shoes he had nothing on. Prebell urged the mob on by ejaculating, " Would they stand by and see an Englishman taken by a - police man ?" He was at length tied down on the stretcher and taken to the station-house. On the way Prebell swore than he would have the life of some - policeman be fore the tv. elvemonth." The prisoners denied having had any share in the riot.
