Jairice BEST sat at Sur geant's Inn to dispose of !notions for new t r iads. THOMPSON V. LACY. This was an application s e t a side the nonsuit. The case was tried before the Chiet Justice at the late Sittings alter Tei tn. The circumstances were these :—The defendant is the proprietor of the Moorgate 'Goitre-1'0.1.e ; sonle time ago the plaintiff and a person named Sew -1, went In the defendant's Coffee-house and dined. They con tinued till the evening, then implied if they could be accommodated with a bed in a double-bedded room. They were answered in the affirmative, and continued there hit night. Next day their baggage arrived, and was deposited in the care of the landlord. They cow - foiled in the house S 3 days and nights; during which they breakfasted, drank tea, and sopped together. Scott, the piaitt tid's companion, then went mit of town, and Thompson asked for his Bill. 'hue defendant made out an acconnt for both Gentlemen. The plaintiff refused to pay more than halt, which he said was all he was liable to. The defendant de manded the whole, and detained the plaintiff's trunks, saying he had a lien upon them, as well as Mr. Scott's. The plaintiff tendered half the aunt,, but the defendant refused to take less than the whole. The plaintiff hen brought his action in (rover against the defendant, and was nonsnited. The application for setting .:side the nonsuit was siipported by Mr. MAItRyATT and Mr. I'. POL LOCK, who contended that the deteudint foul(' have no lien on the property. "[he case differed from that of the Innkeeper, who had property entrusted to his care, and being liable to the guest for the safety of it, had in justice and equity a lien upon it for any demand on the guest. The de lend int in this case was not an Innkeeper, but a Coffee-bouse-keeper. The CHIEF JUSTICE asked what was the differ ence between a Cotter-house and an Inn ? Mr. MARRYATT submitted that they differed ma terially. To constitute an Inn there must be stables attached to the house. The defendant had ❑one. Mr. GURNEY and Mr, E. 'AWES on the other side, contended thAt a cutne-house and inn was the same ; each was open for eating and drinking, and both required licenses for beer, wine, and sririts. The proprietors of a coffee-house were liable, as well as the proprietors of au inn, to make good to the guest property which might be lost tuliltr their roof. Ihe Court, after heating the case argued, gave judgment in support of the non suit. The differ- Circe in the names of coffee-house and inn made no distinction in the law; both were houses of eutertaintnent for the traveller and passenger.— An innkeeper was liable for the stately of the pro perty of his guein, and was equally entitled to prose a lien on such property for the amount of necessaries fuinished the owner. The Court were also of opinion that the defendant %YRS justified in making out a joint bill.—Nonsnit affirmed. DREADFUL FIRE. - This morning, at five o'clock, a most alarming fire broke out at Mr. KER's, hoot-maker, the corner of Norfolk-street, Strat.d. The hie was first discovered in the lower pint of the house, but by what means is at pre sent unknown. In a few minutes the whole of the building beciime a prey to the devouring ele ment, and was completely burnt to the ground ; the houses of Mr. CARY, optician, are also de stroyed, with one or t‘vo others adjoining. The engines, On this occasion, were used with the ac customed skill and alacrity of the firemen, which prevented the flames from extending furt her, great apprehensions being at one time entertained tor the whole neighbourhood. O n making particular enquiry, we are happy 10 state that no lives have been lost, nor any other accident except the un fortunate circumstance of the houses being de stroyed. MELANCUOLY ACCIDENT BY DROWNING. --- We have to record a shocking eatastioplie which be fel four young men of respectability on Saturday night on the Thames, some distance from Chis wkk.

Mrs. Sarah Tenant was convicted at the Surrey Sessions yesterday, of.. stealing 100 pieces of earthenware, the property at Joseph Storey, who resides opposite to the Bricklayers' Arms, Kent road. The evidence has been already before the public. Nothing new came out on tl►e trial. The prisoner, who cried frequently during the course of it, said, in her defence, that she had purchased the goods without any evil intention. She de clared that she seriously intended to pay, and that the fear of an execution compelled her to leave her house soddenly. Mr. Harrison summed up, and stated, that it the Jury were of opinion arm the prisoner hail obtained the goods with the in tention not to pay, they were bound to find her guilty of stealing. The Jury immediately tumid her Guilty. Upon hearing the verdict, she screamed and cried bitterly. The Chairman, in passing sentence, said, that in order to check the act ice which was so frequently repeated, anti to correct the pri,onet for tt►e future, the sentence of the Court was, that she be transported tot 7 Feats. . .

MURDER OF EDWARD BROWNE, ESQ. " Con tuitiglit Journal Office, S ocs, p. ru. " It is with unfeigned regret we crave to an nounce the prom iture death ot Edward Browne, Esq. of Castlentoyle, io this county ; about three o'clock this day, as he was passing near Horse leap, accompaci , d by his servant, in a gig, he received a shot r.hich caused his immediate death. Ile wei.,it is supposed, mistaken for another per son, whose extraordinaty zeal in suppressing seditinn has laiely made him obnoxious to the disaffected peasantry ; and we have to regtet, th a t ibis inestimable young man has fallen a sic tins to such unmet bed revenge. His remains sync ren►ovetl slimily atter to his brother-in-law's, (John Nolan, ot Ballinderry, Esq.) The distraction in which that family, his other numerous hiends and relatives, are involved, cannot be described. lire have received this information by a messenger dispatched flow this office, on business, in that direct inn, who beheld the afflicting scene. " Two outrages el a dating desciip:ion were committed in the town ,of Charkville and its vici nity, between the early bouts of six and *veil o'clock on Monday, by armed men, with their laces blackened, entering two houses, and steal ing t het tout five muskets, one case of pistols, and a bayonet. The Gentlemen ot that place have offered it handsome reward in this day's Chi onicle, for the apprehension of the perpetrators.—(Lime rick Chronicle.) THE THAMES.-- , -The Thames, above Battersea bridge, on the south side, early on Sunday morning, was frequented by many persons, the ice being sufficiently strong to bear their weight. On the tutu of the tide it all disap peared. 'rive two sides of the bridge presented a striking contras', the west side being a clear run ning stream, while on the east side, mountains of ice and snow extended dot%is the ri%er us far as the rye could reach, and connected together front bank to. bank. Many boys had the temerity to venture across. G,LASOOW RATR R.-011 Monday night the Tragedy of Richard the Third was performed here ; the part of Glo'ster by au elderly gentleman of the name of FEauusottr, a n►eal-dealer in this city, beir►g his first appearance on any stage. Not withstandiog the dkadvantages of his age, and a strong not thern accent, he acquitted himself sur prisingly well, and greatly to the satisfaction o f the audience, who testified their approbation by continued peals of laughter. Ilad A stranger en tered and witnessed the scene, he would have imagined himself in the midst of a set of bloody radicals, exulting over the destruction of {dogs and nobles. At the close the op roar and cries of " oil'," became so loud anti general that the actor who came to announce the next play could not be heard. M:er some time Mr. MASON came forward, and ill a very feeling. speech appealed to the generosity of the audience, stating within the last seven months be ban lost from 10001. to 15001.,. and as Mr. FERGUSON had assured him of. at least one full house, if allowed to perform, l►e hoped for their indulgence. This address was cordially approved of, and the after piece allowed to go on quietly. NVe understand Mr. CocnitANß is engaged to perform the popular characters of Bailie Nicol Jarvie and amble dykes.—( Gtaspw Chronicle.) On Wednesday week a vessel, while sailing tip the river Nnh, encountered rather an uncommon object,—beine. no less than a poor Hare seated on a moving flotilla of ice, which was every moment becoming less, by' the action of the water, and which, together with its involutitaty passenger, ap peared to berapidly hutrying to theAtlantie Ocean. Ihe seamen on deck having spied this unwonted voyager at some distance, managed the vessel so as to intercept the piece ot ice, and fairly succeed ed in rescuing tpoor puss from 11 sitna'ion into which she had no doubt been rlciven by the crueh y of her enemies on land. But we grieve to record the sequel. The crew acted the part of gourmands, rather than of sentimentalists, and thought only ot . the delicious dish of soup that might be cooked from the be.►rts blood of their trembling captive. (Dumfries Courier. ) On Saturday last, Mr. Brothers, Mate of the Ferret cutter, seized the Levant, smuggling cut ter, of 15 tons, formerly the Duke of Richmond's yacht, having a cargo of a hundred and sixty tubs Of spirits and Lot. She bad been running in this illicit trade two years without detection, although ftequently examined by the cruisers on this station. She is the same vessel the Rosario detained about six months since, when site had in a similar cargo to the present, which %vas not discovered. She was hailed atl a fisherman, and practised this succis,tul course, by means of a false lining throughout the hull, of jost sufficient width to hold a cask. The expence of this curiously conoructed and well finished depo sitory it is said exceed 2001. Several vessels have been similarly fi•ted, at Fccatitp. Two of the inert taken in her being found set viceable, were sent on board tlie flag ship the other was com mitted to Portsmouth gaol, A violent contention took place at the Theatre, North Shields, on Atonday se'nnight : One part of the audience called for " God Save the King.'' and the other for " Scots wha tni'e wi' Wal lace bled." The uproar %vas so great, that evbett the former tune was thanked for " Rule Britan nia," the ahem at ion was not distinguished, and the tonoder of dm approbation continued. Would the. Ladies as Lunch as post.ihle encourae the manufacture of face in their vat ions arti cles of dress, they w ould do a grew er act of 'humanity titan they are aware of, for it is au absolute tact that there ate at this time not less two hundred thousand poor women and c hildren devending for support upon its consump ti-n, sad whose !oil -Wings at present du not ex cecd sixpence per day.
