MARLI3OROUGH-STREET.—Dr. Nichol, a gen tleman residing in Saville-row, came to this office, accom panied by his solicitor and two of his servants, to apply for warrants of assault against four men, whose names were unknown, hut whose persons were well-known to the complainants, upon the following grounds :—lt appeared that the house No. 37, Hertford street, May-fair, has been for some time to be let, and the disposal of it placed by the proprietor in the hands of two separate house agents, so that if one should miss a customer, the other might chance to hit. Each of these agents had, it seems, a key of the street door given to him to show the premises and give pos session to any one who should become the tenant. On Sa turday week last, Dr. Nichol finally agreed upon terms for the house with a Mr. Claridge, one of the agents ; and Mr. Claridge having given hint possession, Dr. Nichol placed two of his servants in it to prepare for his own removal from Saville-row. All this went on very smoothly until about five on the evening of Saturday last, when four men came to the house, and having knocked at the street-door, where answered by one of Dr. Nichol's servants, from the area, to know what they wanted ; but no sooner did the men observe the area-door, which gave admittance to the house, open, than they jumped over the railing into the area, and endeavoured to enter the house. In this, how ever, they were for some time resisted, by the servant having suddenly closed the door against them ; hut they were not, it seems, to be driven from their purpose, and first attempted to force the door with a hatchet; but fail ing in this, they commenced a species of ram-battery, by running two at a time, feet foremost, with all their force against it, in hopes to burst it in that way ; but here they were equally unsuccessful, and at last they procured a chisel, with which they forced off the hinges of the door, and thus effected an entrance. They now called upon the servants of Dr. Nichol to quit the house and leave them in possession ; but the servants, neither knowing who or what they were, or uncle; what authority, if any, they were acting, refused to leave the place unless expelled by force. The intruders did accordingly resort to force, and after as protracted a resistance as one male and one female servant could make to four powerful men, the riehtful oc cupiers were in the end turned neck and heels with great violence into the street. Having accomplished this feat, th e intruders followed it up by clearing the house of a few necessary articles of furniture in the use of Dr. Nichol's servants, such as cans, saucepans, &c., which they wantonly flung out of the windows of the upper rooms into the street, and one of the saucepans lighting on the head of Dr. Nichol's female servant, hurt her severely. Upon these grounds it was that the application was made for warrants against the four men who thus took and kept forcible pos session of the house. The Magistrate, Sir GmonnE FARRANT, on hearing the oaths of Dr. Nichol's servants to the above effect, im mediately granted the warrants, and they were placed in the hands of Goddard and Ballard, the officers, who proceeded forthwith to execute them. When, however, they got to the house, into which, on their showing their warrants, they were readily admitted, accompanied by the two servants to identify the offenders, they found that although there were four men in possession, they were not the men who had taken that possession or committed the assaults com plained of; and it turned out that in the anticipation of a Magistrate's interference, the offenders had been removed from the house by their e mployers, and four other meo substituted. All this violent proceeding arose out of the employment of two ageuts to let the house : for it appeared that a full week after Mr. Claridge had given possession to Dr. Nichol, Mr. Denew, another house-agent, disposed of it to a gentleman named Neville, and authorized him to take immediate possession, which he did, as above described, and in this state of double tenantry the house remains at present. MARYLEBONE-OFFlCE.—Yesterday Ann Walters, a midwife, charged with having defrauded the Governors of the Middlesex and Queen Charlotte's Lying-in Hospi tals, was finally examined and committed for trial. lIATTON-GARDEN.—A lamplighter, of the name of William Henry Parsons, was yesterday brought up to this office, under a warrant, by Mr. Coulthard, one of the over seers of the parish of St. Pancras, and charged before the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Sergeant SRLLON, with deserting his wife, and refusing to allow her a maintenance. An order was made by the Magistrate, that he must allow her a sum of 4s. weekly for her support, and keep her otr the parish funds. VESTRY MEETINGS. ST. PAUL'S, COVENT.GARDEN. (Continued from our Paper o! yesterday.) At four o'clock the poll was closed, and the Chairman (Mr. Dow) elf/le forward, and announced the numbers as follows : Mr. Roach, 310 I Mr. Corder, 30 I Majority 8. Mr. FIELD then came forward and thanked the meeting for giving his friend (Mr. Roach) a majority. Mr. WALKER, in the name of Mr. Corder, con gratulated the parishioners upon the prospect of success held out by the state of the poll. He looked upon the return of Mr. Corder as certain, if friends would but rally round him and complete the good work they had begun. Mr. CORDER then presented himself to the meet ing. Unlike his opponent, he would thank hi' friends in person, and not by proxy. He congratu lated the parish upon the advanced state of the poll since he last stood forward as a candidate, in oppo sition to Mr. Roach. At the close of the first day upon that occasion, Mr. Roach was 89 a-head of him. He was now only eight.—(Huzza for Corder, and down with the rose-water vestry olerk.)—Mr. Corder concluded hie address by assuring the pa rishioners that it was in their power to place him, with a triumphant majority, at the head of the poll, notwithstanding the powerful interest by which hz was opposed.—(Applause.) Mr. 'l l stomas then mounted the table, and called upon the friends of Mr. Corder to lose no time in securing his return. After several observations with respect to the proceedings of the select committee, he proceeded to remark upon the modest admission of Mr. Cribb, with respect to the part which he had taken in the celebrated rose-water dinner, his mode of auditing account:" and his oiler to refund his quota of the Norwood excursion. As it was now become the fashion to erect statues to those who distinguished themselves, he would propose that a figure in bronze be erected in the midst of Covent•garden market, surmounted with the bust of Mr. Cribb,—(loud laughter,)—on the base of which, the words " rose water" should be inscribed.—(Huzsa ; well done, Thomas.)--A person in the crowd here handed Mr, Thomas a large quart bottle, with a label upon it, upon which the words " rose water" were written in large characters. Yes, cried Mr. Thomas, hold ing up the bottle at arm's length, this is the grand elixir of " the select," but I promise you,my friends, that if the man of your choice be returned, you will never have to pay for such trash as this.—(Loud cheering.) The meeting then dispersed, it being announced that the next day's polling is to be proceeded with at ten o'clock. ST. JAMES'S VESTRY. A Vestry was to hare been held in St. James's Church yesterday, at which, we were informed, much curious matter would be brought forward, sttch as making presents of gold snuff-boxes, silver tankards, &c. The meeting did not, however, take place in the Church, but in an adjoining building. The door was guarded by six beadles, who interro gated every person who presented himself, and our reporter was refused admittance. ST. LUKE'S, OLD-STREET. Yesterday the Annual Meeting for the election of Parish Officers, was held in the Palish Church. Whl. PROSSER, Esq. in the Chair. Mr. Chippendale, the junior Churchwarden, and Mr. Symonds, were declared duly elected. The Overseers and other Officers were then ap pointed. Mr. CHIPPENDALE proposed that Mr. Wall be re elected as Vestry Clerk. Mr. RICHMOND seconded the motion. Mr. WALL returned thanks, and the meeting se parated. ST. GEORGE'S BLOOMSBURY. Yesterday the Annual Meeting of the parishioners of the parish of St. George's, Bloomsbury, took place at St. George's Church, for the election of churchwardens and other parochial officers. For the last few days the inhabitants of the parish have been kept quite on the qui vive by the deter mined spirit of opposition which has manifested it self—one party appearing on the support of the Se lect Vestry—the other, and consequently the more popular candidates, for the office of churchwardens, were supported by the parishioners. At an early hour the inhabitants began to proceed to the Vestry, and about the same time the placard bearers were seen running in all directions to various parts, in the line to the Church, to enable the inhabitants to form a conclusion upon the merits of the respective Can diates. A little before eleven o'clock a large posse of the legal authorities had assembled about the Church, evidently for the purpose of keeping the various conflicting parties from coming to a pugilis tic contest ; and in the course of the day it appear ed this regulation was of some value, as after the polling had commenced one of the candidates, and an independent voter, came in collision in the church-yard, and after using to each other very WI.. courteous language, the candidate placed himself in a position a la Crib, much to the delight and amuse ment of the electors. On the Chair being taken, the Chairman addressed the Vestry in a short speech, and was followed by the different proposers of the candidates. The as pirants then successively addressed the Meeting, and kept it amused for nearly three hours, detailing their various motives for coming forward. Mr. DAWSON, the Chairman, then called over the following names; and requested those gentlemen who were for the respective individuals to hold up their hands : For Mr. H. Morrell 13 hands were held up ; for Mr. Briggs, a solitary hand held up; for M r . Algar, 70 hands appeared ; for Mr. Jakes, upwards of a hundred ; and for Mr. Thissleton, one hand and a hat ; when the election was declared to have fallen on Mr. Algar and Mr. Jakes. Mr. Morrell then de manded a poll, ebcerving he had been an inhabitant upwards of forty years. The poll was then opened, and was to be termi nated at twelve o'clock last night. CHRIST-CHURCH, BLACKFRIARS. Within the last few days a notice, of which the following is a copy, has been very generally circu lated in the above parish, addressed to the house keepers and rate-payers. "In consequence of the very heavy and enormous parochial rates recently and additionally made against us, and according to the opposition the last annual vestry met w i t h , on the part of the parish-offi . cers withholdi ng t h e book from them, a t the time it was openly stated by one of the auditors of the accounts that they were in correct; it is therefore requested that every house- At this period of the business, one of the pa rishioners, who had pre v i ous l y h ear d i t asserted that the parish accounts were open for inspection, entered the vestry, and addressing the Chairman, stated, that he had just returned from the vestry-clerk's office, and that the parish accounts were withheld from his inspection, notwithstanding he had told the ' person who had charge of them what had trauso-ed at the meeting. - When the names of the individuals proposed a; auditors of the parish accounts were nominated, and that of Mr. Benham announced for the situation, an amendment was proposed by a Mr. Leete, that the name of Mr. Henry Hunt be substituted fir that of Mr. Benham. On a shoe? of hands being demanded, the amendment was carried by a large majority. Upon the numbers being announced, one of the individuals put in nomination exclaimed with great vehemence " I will never, I am determined, sit and audit again with Mr. Hunt."—(A laugh.) One of the Parishioners.—Mr. Hunt is an honest and upright man. No one in the parish is so well qualified to fill the situation as Mr. Hunt ; he will see that the money of the parishioners is not extra vagantly squandered a w a y. The names of the parties voting were Then called for, to ascertain whether they were qualified to vote. Great opposition was manifested by the friends of Mr. Hunt, all of whom contended that be was le gally elected to fill the situation by a show of hands. The Vestry Clerk then proceeded to read a clause of the local act, by which it appeared that none of the parishioners were entitled to a vote, except tho,:e who had paid up all their parish-rates and taxes. On calling over the names of those qualifiel, it appeared the majority was in favour of Mr., Ben • ham, who was accordingly elected. On the next name being put in nomination for a similar office in the parish, the party in support of Mr. Hunt moved, as an amendment, that his naafa should be substituted in place of every indivi&at proposed from the chair, to act as auditor of the pa rish accounts; but the number present not being qualified to vote, the amendment was negatived. On the nomination of Commissioners to be att. pointed under the local act, an amendment was moved that the name of Mr. Hunt be substituted for that of the first name on the list. After a long and angry discussion, the amendment was withdrawn, and the nomination of persons to the subordinate situations in the parish proceeded into; after which the meeting separated. LAMBETH. A meeting of the inhabitants of this parish took place yesterday, in the Boys' Parochial School, Law beth-green. The Rev. Dr. D ' OYLEY in the Chair. Mr. Robert \Vatmore, the Vestry Clcrk, was re elected; Mr. Walmsley and Mr. Benjamin Somer field were unanimously elected Churchwardens for the ensuing year. A show of hands was then taken, for Gentlemen to be returned to the Justices for the office of Oct;-- seer. The Commissioners of the Court of Requests were re-elected. The election ofAuditors having been gone thretgh, Mr. DINES rose to complain of the manner in which the last year's accounts had been audited, and to express his hopes that no gentleman would ac cept of the office of Auditor, unless fully, convinced that he had sufficient time to devote to the duties. fie moved a Resolution to the effect, that the Au ditors should he summoned to meet at the work house seven days prior to the public audit, for the purpose of preparing the accounts for the parish-. Miters at large. The motion was unanimously agreed to. The RECTOR said he was most anxious to gay a few words as regarded Mr. Long, their present organist. That individual, it was well known, was unfortunately blind, and that defect rendered i; ex tremely desirable that the parish should have a per son more capable of giving satisfaction. Continued complaints were reaching his (the Rector's) ears, of the inability of Mr. Long, and he wished, there fore, to learn from the Vestry, whether they would appoint a new organist, allow Long an assistant, pension him, or— The Rector was here interrupted by the most deafening shouts of " No, no !" " Poor fellow !" " Shame, shame!" which continued for some time. The RECTOR having at last obtained a hearing, said he merely stated the facts as they bad been represented to him ; the parish would, of course,. act for itself. Mr. Long's election was then carried. A long discussion took place respecting Beadles, two of whom were accused of having acted. improperly. They were at length re-elected, sith a caution fur their conduct in future. The stun of GOO/. was voted for the erecti:Ai of temporary wings to the buildings at Norwood. Thanks having been voted to the Magistrates, the Meeting dispersed. dittolvit h Carlisle, d it: SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL.
