(Before Mr. Justice IVIGHTmArt and Mr. Justice CRESSW.ELL) John Burt, 13, one of the Post-office express boys, was indicted for stealing five post letters, the property of the Postmaster-General. The priscner pleaded Guilty. Robert Brown, 44, a Post-office letter-carrier, was indicted for stealing 245. 6d., the property of the Postmaster-General. Mr. Shepherd. and Mr. Adolphus conducted. the prosecution; Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prisoner. From the evidence of a number of witnesses, it ap peared that in consequence of some suspicion that was entertained of the prisoner's honesty, the sum men tioned in the indictment, consisting of a sovereign, a half-crown, and other coins, the whole of which were marked, were placed in a letter addressed to Mr. Thesiger's clerk at the Chambers in the Temple, which district was within the prisoner's delivery. The letter was delivered, but the money had previously been taken from it, and the marked money was after wards traced to the prisoner's possession. Mr. CLARKSON addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and called several witnesses, who gave him an excel lent character. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was ordered to be imprisoned, and kept to hard labour for twelve months. (Before the BEcoRD ER .) Berry Morgan, 17, Ass indicted for a robbery, with violence upon Jane Whaltby. The prisoner pleaded Guilty. ' The prisoner was again indicted, for assaulting Felicity Smith, with intent to rob her. To this indictment the prisoner alsopleaded Guilty. The RECORDER sentenced the prisoner to be transported for ten years. The Grand Jury came into Court, bringing with them the whole of the remaining bills. The Foreman then said he was requested by his brother jurors to bring before the notice of the Court some circum stances which, in their unanimous opinion, required its consideration, with a view to some alteration being effected. lie then went on to say that there had been a very great number of trifling cases of larceny brought to their notice, in which very small sums of money and paltry articles were alleged to have been stolen, and the consequence of such cases being com mitted was, that a great number of witnesses were forced to attend, thereby causing very great expense to the different counties. Another serious evil wa4, that there was no accommodation for respectable per sons, who were compelled to associate in the avenues of the Court with persons of the most reckless character, young females of respectability being in company with prostitutes for hours and days together, a course of proceeding which must necessarily be fraught with great evil. With regard to the petty cases of larceny, the Grand Jury were of opinion that instead of such cases being committed to this Court by the Police Magistrates, they should be sent to the Quarter Sessions ofthe different counties, which would be a very great saving of expenses and would to a very considerable extent alleviate the other and more serious evil. The RECORDER said it did not always follow that a charge, app aren tl y i n volvin g property only to a small amount, was in reality a trifling matter. It might be that the party accused of it was an old offender, and he might have succeeded in escaping up to the time when the offence then brought against him was made out, and there were a variety of reasons why cases where property of a small amount only was taken, should be sent to that Court. He was not aware that the ex p ens e attending trials at the Quarter Session s was muc h l ess th a n at that Court, but it was in th e di scret i on o f t h e P o li c e Magistrates a s t o w hi c h Court a prisoner should be committed. As to the exercise of summar urisdiction by the Magistrates y in such cases, he was j bound to inform them that, the law g ave th em no power t o deal with them in that manner, and althoughout; the dispose of it mamma did sometimes, wher e a felony w as clearly m summa rily, it must b e understood that they acted entirel in oppositi on t o t h e l aw i n so doing• As to the evil of the int ercourse t h at too k place between the wit nesses while in attendance upon the Court, and the want of accommodation that was afforded for re spectable w itne sses , th e aut h or ities were aware of its existence, and he wou ld only say that the Corporation of London would be happy thing in their power, an d ta k e any to do every steps to remedy it, and he had no d ou b t t h at, from t h e public manner in which the subject had been mentioned, it would come to the notice of that body, and that they would take the subject into their most serious consideration. He was afraid, however, that from the constitution of the Court, and th e number of pr i soners that were tried, it would be impossible to prev ent this in convenience, as th e w i tnesses must un avoidably be brought together ; an d this was not t h e c ase in Lon. don alone, but in a ll t h e Assize towns, w hich it was well known w ere crowded with persons o f e very de scription during th e stay of the Ju d ges . The Re corder concluded b y thanking the Grand Jury for having directed th e attention of the C our t to thes e important subject s , and also for the zea l an d intelli gence they had displayed in the performance of their important duty. Robert Shearing, aged f or t y -t wo , clerk, was in dicted for wilful a n d corrupt perjury. This case was t r i e d on Wednesday, an d occupied the Court for sever a l h ours, not being concluded until past eleven o'clock at night. Mr. Chadwick Jones conducted the prosecution; and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the defendant. The circumstances under which the charge was made were these :--The prisoner was a sort of clerk, or process-server, to an attorney, wha had received instructions to bring an action against a person named Collins, to recover a debt of 241., and the prisoner VMS employed to serve the writ upon the defendant. The writ was returned in the usual manner, and the prisoner Shearing swore that he had served a copy of the writ upon Collins personally. No appear ance was entered for C o lli ns, and judgment was therefore taken by default, execution moved, and the whole of the goods of Colli ns were se i ze d un d er th a t execution. It then turn e d out that sh e k new no thing whatever of any legal proceedings having been instituted against him, until the execution came _ into his house, and upon this being made known to ' the Court in which the pro c e e di ngs were t a k en , an inquiry was ordered into a ll the circumstances of the transaction. The defendant Shearing then made an affidavit, in which he swore, that he went to Bushy, in Hertfordshire, where Collins lived, in, a cart with a man named Iles, and that he inquir e d at his house for him, and saw a woman, whom h e bel i eve d to b e hi s wife, and she told him Collins would be homebetween seven and eight o'clock at night, an d they wa it e d unt il that time, when they saw a ma n w h o was po i n t e d out to be Collins, and he then served him with the copy of the writ. The man Iles referred to by Collins, also made an affidavit, confirming his story, On the other hand, the wife of Collins swore Positi ve l y t h at no suc h to by the reefferrt application as the one deposed de fendant was ever made to illowrhtliyel:afhteer ova„ inquiry was or her, and Collins referred that to. partlt also swore to the falsehood a or 3e th a s pp s e t a a r te e m d statement iii hAi'enint w t° rit o n a person a man named h ieh above BenjaminderedbythGeeCedomurate,,Sahnedartemldg that he had got into a mess about the service of a wanted, he as any other person.

Iles, it appeared, that the defendant had falsely sworn could not be found after the transaction. Mr. BALLANTINE having addressed the Jury, The RECORDER summed up, and the Jury immedi ately returned a verdict of Guilty. The RECORDER, addressing the P ris oner, said, that it appeared lie was one of those hired persons who made a practice of swearing affidavits f'or those who were base enough to hire them to do so, and the crim e of which he was convicted was grievously a ngr a _ vated by his endeavour to induce another person, to commit the same crime for the purpose of beariir g out his own offence. It was, therefore, the duty of the Court to make a severe example in such a car-, e , Mr. Clark here made some private cottwannieation to the Court. The RECORDER then said that the U -a i .grrient of the Court, for certain reasons, would be reso , ted for the present, b u t t h e pr i soner wo uld certainl y , ultimately, be sent out of the country. The prisoner was last night brought up for judg ment, and ordered to be imprisoned for three months, and then to be transported for seven yr :ars. -• . NEW ZEALAND COMPANY.

The tollowing is a list of the names of the plaintiffs and of the amounts claimed :—The Rev. Peter Ash worth (as executor of Thomas Ashworth) v. the Earl of Uxbridge, 961. 12s.—Same v. Same, 661.—Love kin v. Same, 1331.—Foster v. Same, 601.—Cooper v. Same, 2391.—Cousins v. Same, 1321.—Swindall v. Same, 661. Each of the above sums was the amount of one year's annuity. It was agreed that the verdict in the first case should decide the others, the question in volved being the same. Mr. James, barrister, appeared for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Chambers for the defendant. The Jury having been sworn the first case was taken. Mr. JAMES said, that it was with reluctance the plaintiff had been compelled to proceed against the Noble Earl, but he had hitherto been unable to obtain from him payment of the amount due on the annuity. In some cf the other cases the plaintiffs were persons in a humble station of life, who had advanced these sums to the Earl of Uxbridge, but were now unable to obtain payment. The annuity in the case now be fore the Court amounted to the sum of 961. 125., the consideration for which was the payment of a sum o 6901. As, however, the money had not been paid, the several plaintiffs had been compelled to take their present course, though they did not know whether the verdict of the Jury, would produce any fruits to them or not, as the defendant, by his position as a Peer—having been called to the Upper House as Baron Paget—was protected from the consequences of such verdict, as far as his personal liberty was con cerned. The Earl was heir to the Marquisate of An glesea, but had been called to the Upper House during the lifetime of his father—a somewhat unusual course, which might leave a doubt upon the minds of the Jury whether the defendant had been so raised to the peerage, in order that, as a legislator, he might benefit his country, or that he might himself enjoy the privilege of freedom from arrest. The plaintiffs feared that he had very little property, for; perhaps, when a Noble man chose to exhibit himself to the gaze of the public, not in his own equipages, but in everything hired, it was reasonable to infer that those who had claims upon him would have very little chance of ob taining the amounts due to them. But they had, notwithstanding, brought their actions, and the plain tiff in the present case had subpoenaed the Marquis of Anglesey, whom he (Mr. James) proposed to exa mine as to the means of his son, the defendant. %Vith regard to the claim of the plaintiff, he should have no difficulty in establishing it, nor would the Jury at all hesitate as to the amount of damages they would award. The deed of annuity, dated the Bth of August, 1838, by which an annual sum of 961. 12s. was granted to Thomas Ashworth, in consideration of the pay - ment of the sum of 6901., was then put in. Mr. Thomas French, clerk to Mr. Columbine, the plaintiff's attorney, stated that tip to . the date of the commencement of the action there were four quarters' annuity due. The interest upon the unpaid annuity, calculated from the expiration of each quarter to the date of the commencement of the action, amounted to 31. I ls. 9d. The plaintiff could have entered up judgment for the amount of the annuity unpaid, but not for the interest accruing upon that sum. Mr. 'JAmEs then called the Marquis of Anglesey, who came into Court, and was sworn. He was ac commodated with a seat on the bench. Mr. JAMES—I believe, my Lord, you are the father of the Earl of Uxbridge. The Marquis—l believe so. Has he any house or establishment now ?—He has quitted a house he had in Bruton-street, and I am told he ha 3 taken a house in Hertfordshire. What his establishment is I have not the slightest knowledge. Now, can you tell me, my Lord—excuse me for putting the question—what property he has ? Mr. CHAMBERS interposed, and objected to the question. The examination was not proceeded with. The Marquis of Anglesey then left the Court. Mr. CHAMBERS, for the defence, said the question in this case was merely one of amount—whether the plaintiff in this action, and therefore in the other six, should recover the actual amount of annuity overdue, or whether he should charge interest upon that amount as compensation for the delay in the payment. A Jury were empowered in such cases to say what the amount of damages should be. Now, there were two ways of calculating the interest, if interest were to be awarded at all ; one was to calculate it upon the whole GAS METERS. TMPORI ANT to GAS COMPANIES and JL CON SUMERS of GAS. All the inconveniencesarising from Gas Meters getting out of action, and ceasing to register (to the great loss of Gas Companies and serious inconvenience to Consumers) are prevented by using THOMAS EDGE'S IM PROVED METERS, with Patent Lever Valves. These Meters are approved of by all the London Gas Companies, and will entirely supersede those made in the common way with guide wires. Meter Works, Great Peter •street, Westminster. year's annuity, from May, 1842, when it became due, and the other was to calculate it from the expiration of every quarter. The plaintiff had chosen the latter mode. It would be for the Jury to say which mode they considered most fair between the parties. With regard to the question of damages, it did appear to him that this was not a case in which interest ought to be charged upon the unpaid annuity. It was a clear bargain between the parties, the rate of interest being very high. Far the sum of 6901., the Earl of Ux• bridge, then being 40 years of age, agreed to pay during his life the sum of 96/. Here was an interest of 13 per cent., from which, however, the insurance money had to be deducted ; that would still leave 9 per cent. as the interest of the transaction. Now, he did think the Jury would see that where so high an interest was charged, the case was not one of that sort in which additionalinterest ought to be demanded on arrears of annuity. The UNDER-SHERIFF having left the question of amount to the Jury, they immediately returned a verdict for 100/. 3s. 9d. ; 961. 12s. being the amount claimed, and 3/. 1 ls. 9d. interest upon it. Mr. JAMES here observed, that the annuitants had a clear right to interest. They only had the security of the Earl, which experience showed to be worth nothing. He did not think that there was any one now in the box who would lend the Earl money on the same terms.—(A laugh.) Verdicts were then taken in the other six cases for the amount demanded, and interest upon it, calcu lated in the same way. Walworth-road, he observed two men and a woman standing near the door of the house. When he had passed the house a short distance, one of the men fol lowed him, and, seizing him by the • leg, threw him down ; but he recovered himself, and on rising he was struck by his assailant, and he re turned the blow. While they were scuffling with one another in the road, the other man and woman rushed on, and at the moment he (complainant) felthis watch drawn from his pocket. He immediately cried out for assistance, and the defendant coming up at the moment, he related what had previously occurred to him, and also the fact of his being robbed of his watch, and charged one of the men with being the person who took it, desiring the policeman to take him into custody. Defendant, however, refused to take the charge, on the ground, as he said, of the complainant being in liquor at the time, but although he (complainant) had been drinking previously to the outrage, yet he was perfectly sensible, and had the use of all his faculties, and recollected everything that passed on the occasion. He added, he did not bring the charge forward out of any vindictive feeling towards the policeman, but merely for public justice. The defendant said, that he was disappointed in the attendance of witnesses, who would be enabled to prove that there were no just grounds for the accu sation made against him, and that if the case was allowed to stand over, he should be enabled to refute the charge. Mr. COTTINGHAM said, that the charge was one of such a grave nature, as affected the policeman, that he should allow the defendant the benefit of having his witnesses in attendance to rebut it, if they were in a condition to do so; and a day was accordingly ap pointed for that purpose. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Michael Rowan and Thomas Allen, two well-known thieves, were brought before Mr. Henry, for final examination, on a charge of daring highway robbery, accompanied with great personal violence. From the evidence it appeared that on the night of Sunday fortnight, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, the prosecutor, Mr. John Allen, while proceeding along High-street, Whitechapel, was at tacked by the prisoners, one of whom gave him a violent blow, which knocked him down, and the other instantly placed his hand over his mouth to prevent his giving an alarm. They then tore open his waist coat, and snatched away his watch from the guard. A little boy who witnessed the robbery swore posi tively to the identity of the prisoners as being the persons who had committed the robbery, and they were fully committed for trial. A foreman in the employment of the widow of a master carman, applied to Mr. Henry for his assist ance, under the following circumstances : The applicant said, that the daughter of his mis tress, a girl of twelve years of age, ltd got to her mother's cash-box and made free with from 4/. to 51. of its contents. After possessing herself of the money, she proceeded to the shop of a bird-fancier in the neighbourhood and purchased a parrot, a jay, two or three linnets, and other birds, for which she had altogether paid upwards of 4/. Her mother on dis covering what her daughter had been doing, and having no fancy for such articles, proceeded to the shop of the bird-dealer, and offered (though she con sidered he had acted very improperly in selling such things to so you ng a girl) to sacrifice 10s. of the money, provided the remainder was given back. This the bird-fancier refused to comply with, but merely offered to purchase back the birds at the trade price. Mr. HENRY desired that the mother of the girl should attend and depose to the facts stated, when he would grant a summons against the party. WORKING OF THE NEW TARIFF.—Capt. Galloway, of the Union, of Greenwich, who arrived on Friday from Haerlingen, in Holland, states that generally in Holland, where there are thirty head of cattle, there is not grazing for more than eight ; the consequence is that a large supply of fat as well as lean cattle will speedily arrive in this country. Capt. Galloway says that several vessels had embarked a quantity of the finest cows with their first calves, for Dundee and Hull. The Captain observes that he never saw finer cattle in any part of the continent of Europe, and scarcely in this country. They are about 100 stone (t3lb.), something like our handsome Scottish beasts. The Decay of the Teeth and Gums arises from various caused ; hut, principally, it may be attributed to early neglect, ill health, and the use of Tooth Powders con taining mineral and other deleterious acids, which give a momentary whiteness to the t ee th, w hil e hey corrode the enamel. The extreme prevalence of this last cause is too well known to need comment. To this fact, in deed, is principally to be attributed the long Botanical Research, which was happily t erm i na t e d by th e mos t felicitous discovery ever given to the world for the pre servation of the Teeth, Gums, and Breath, viz., Row land's Odonto, or Pearl Dentifrice ; this Powder now oc cupies a distinguished place at the Toilets of the Sove reigns and the Nobility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once announces the favour in which it is held by the public at large Thirteen English seamen were landed at Ports mouth on Tuesday, from the American packet West minster, of New York ; several more went on to London in the ship. They form part of a great num ber recently discharged from the American Govern ment naval service. Report says that all the British seamen in their service are to be discharged, in conse quence of a contemplated reduction in theft. navy, caused partly by the change produced in their rela tions with this country, consequent on the late treaty, and partly by the deficit in their finances.—Hants Independent. " The eighth plague," said Dr. Johnson, " is the gout ; and that man whe discovers a medicine to alle viate its torment deserves well of his country ; but he who can effect a cure, should have a monument erected to his memory as high as St. Paul's, as wide as the Thames, and as lasting as time." This desideratum (happily) has now been accomplished ; and it must afford unspeakable satisfaction to those who are afflicted with Gout, Rheu matism, Rheumatic Gout, Rheumatic Fever, or Lum bago, to be infermed that they will find an unfailing re. me.ly in Sitnco's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which are sold by all medicine venders,in boxes at Is. lid. and 2s. 9d. each. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) CLERKENWELL. Michael Regan was charged with the wilful mur der of Ellen Regan, his wife. From the evidence, it appeared that the prisoner lives at 18, Bainbridge-street, St. Giles's; that — on Sunday evening last the deceased returned home be tween six and seven o'clock, very tipsy; that the prisoner, who lived on the first floor, was in bed when she came home, but on hearing her on the landing he came out, and asked her to come in. He spoke very civilly to her. She refused to go in ; he dragged her towards the door. She still resisted, and he struck her on the head. She remained on the landing, having fallen there from the blows he struck her. He came out in a few minutes after, and again' asked her to go into the room. She again refused, and he gave her a kick, from which she tumbled down a flight of stairs, and never spoke after. She was then taken to the London University Hospital, the assistant-surgeon of which deposed that she died from a laceration of the brain, the effect of external violence. Several witnesses were examined, who de posed to these facts. The pr;soner denied having kicked her down stairs, but admitted having used violence towards her. He was committed for trial. UNION-HALL. - JIM CROW.--It is not among the - least curious cir cumstances connected with the aspect of the political press, at the present moment, that the only thick and thin supporter of the Peel policy is the autrefois ultra- Radical Spectator. The Times, the Post, the Herald, and the Standard, though each sporting the colours of Toryism, have each exhibited, on several occasions, a spirit of insubordination bordering upon revolt. The Times grumbles at the Income-tax, dissents from the sliding-scale, affects vast indignation at the Poor-law, finds fault with Lord Ashburton, and would fain throw Sir James Graham overboard. The Post loudly complains that the Conservative leader has outdone the Whigs ii, his hold innovations and sweeping reforms. The Herald takes upon itself to lecture and scold the Ministry after its own garrulous manner ; and the Standard is constantly getting itself into scrapes by its indecent sallies of desultory partisanship. But the Spectator, after having long laboured, with a zeal and ability worthy of a better cause, to run down the Whigs, has at length avowed itself the cordial sup porter of the present Ministry, as " the only possible Government at the present conjuncture." Even Peel's " disagreeable income-tax " is praised as " evincing the prudent statesman ;" while Peel's tariff is declared to be " the largest measure of fiscal reform ever brought forward in this country." In short, Sir R. Peel has not in the avowedly Conservative ranks so fervent a eulogist, so zealous a champion. It would seem to be the peculiar fortune of the Conservative Minister, to have for his chief colleagues and sup porters too, those who have quarrelled with thei r former friends, and betrayed or deserted their professed principles.—Patriot A woman named Ann Brady, and one of the most insolent beggars in London, was placed at the bar, charged with the following gross outrage : Win. Ilorsford, one of the Mendicity Society's Officers, stated that on the previous evening he saw the prisoner begging in Hinde-street ; she no sooner observed him than she entered a public-hoiue in Duke -street, when he followed and told her that she must go with him to the station-house. She answered that she would see him d—d first, and struck him a severe blow between the eyes. With the assistance of the landlord he got her into the street, r, here she promised to walk quietly, but had not gone three paces when she struck him a second blow upon the nose, which bled profusely for some time after. He kept hold of the prisoner, however, and after some trouble got her to the station-house. To his know ledge she had been in custody 34 times—the last time for an assault upon his own person. Offers had been repeatedly made to pass her over to Ireland, but had been as constantly refused. The MAGISTRATE committed her for trial at the sessions. Yesterday policeman 117 L was charged with re fusing to take a man into custody, who had, it was alleged, committed a robbery. John Spilling stated, that he lived at No. 7, Bull's llead- court, Strand, and that on Saturday night; having been to see some friends on the Surrey side of the water, as he was passing the Black Prince in the • ' ," • • . * omk ., AtAIZT-11, SP - .

In consequence of the repeated frauds that are committed on the Custom-house by carmen and others:, the Commissioners have given t notice to the following effect Whereas it has been represented to the Hon. Commissioners of her Majesty' s customs that a quantity of tea warehoused in the London Docks was recently removed from thence hr a li censed carman, for the purpose of being shipp e d f ur exportation on board a vessel lying in St. Katharine'a Dock, but instead of being conveyed direct to those docks the carman conveyed it to some of the legal quays in Thames-street, to be cleared by the searcher there, and taken by lighter into Si. Ka tharine's Docks, by which proceeding the revenue was exposed to danger, and the service inconve nienced by the shipment being a delay until after — the hours of business : With a view, therefore. to prevent similar irregularities, the Board direct, and hereby give notice, for the information of parties eqn cerned in the removal of bonded goods fur exporta tion, that all bonded goods removed from the ware house for shipment or for exportation, or coastwise, must be conveyed by the nearest and most direct way to the exporting or coasting vessel, and within the shortest space of time, whether by land or water-car riage ; and if the vessel be lying in one of the docks, or a legal quay on the north side of the river, and such goods be removed from a warehouse by land carriage, that the same be conveyed to such dock or legal quay for shipment, and not to any other dock, quay, or wharf, and that the license of.such carman or lighterman, as shall disobey these regulations, will be withdrawn, and the goods not so forwarded Hill be subject to detention and forfeiture, under the 45th section of the Warehousing Act." This notice is signed by Mr. &oven, by order of the Commis sioners, and it is understood it will be rigidly enforced. A NEW WAY TO GET 1N OLD DEBTS. Not by copies of writs, for that is expensive ; not by the New Court of Requests, for in that case many of the debtors go to "St. Helena," nor by kicking a debtor, nor dunning, nor frowning, nor saucing, nor any such like old and antiquated methods, is the proper way to get in an old ciebt. For the of society, and out of revenge on lawyers, we shalr here how a certain tailor managed to get an old debt from the hands of a slippery customer. This said customer owed the tailor an account for a long time. The tailor shaped all roads to get out of his linings, but the fellow was not such a goose as to part Icitb All hints that he could give were taken no noti.%eot in fact the tailor had given up the account for a bad Job, and'had begun to cabbage on a large scale in oru. , V to balance his loss. However, one day lately, to the no small astonishment of the tailor, his old customer came and asked him to make a coat, making the tailor promise, at the same time, that he would not keep the cloth, and pay himself with it, which promise was speedily made. The coat was made, and at the ap pointed time the customer came for it. It was triet.l on, it fitted admirably—the price asked, and money paid. The tailor took the coat to give it a brushing, and took it up stairs—wrapped a coat up in a hand kerchief, and gave it to his customer. Home trudged the wight, thinking all on his way what a figure he would cut in his new coat in the morning ; but, alas! for dreams of future bliss, on opening his bundle in stead of a new coat, one met his view that might have been a cast of -Daniel Davies. The cunning tailor kept the coat and got his money.—Leetb Tunes. STAGE-COACH AND OMNIBUS DUTY.—It was men tioned a few days back, that under the sth and 6th Victoria, cap. 79, the duty on stage-conches was re duced. The Act will, however, not come into op ration respecting stage-coaches until the 3d of Oc tober, when the duty from its present rate of 3d. a mile will be reduced to one-half. In future, for every original license for any stage-carriage a sum of three guineas must be paid, and forasupplementary license ss. By the same Act the length of seats for passengers is determined, and power given to measure the same. These salutary regulations, especially in omnibuses, are set forth in the 13th and 16th sections, Under the for mer section it is stated, " That no stage-carriage shall be allowed to carry at one time a greater number of passengers in the whole, or in the inside, or on the outside thereof, than the same is constructed to carry according to the regulations of this Act, and that no such carriage shall be deemed to be con structed to carry a greater number of passengers than the same will contain at one time upon fit and proper seats provided therein or thereupon for that purpose, allowing for each passenger, on an average, upon each and every separate seat, a space convenient for sitting thereon of 16 inches, measuring in a straight line lengthwise on the front of each seat; provided always, that no child under five years of age, sitting on the lap, shall be deemed a passenger within the meaning of this act." By the 16th section it is enacted, " That it shall be lawful for any constable or peace-officer, at any time, and also for any person travelling, or hav ing immediately before travelled by any stage carriage, in any case where he shall have reason for believing or suspecting that a greater number of passengers are carried, or are about to be carried, or have immedi ately before or at any time during the journey last performed been carried, by such carriage, to measure the seats, or any of the seats, in or upon such car riage, in order to ascertain the length thereof respectively, or the number of passengers which the said carriage is constructed to carry; and if any per son shall refuse to permit the seats in or upon such stage carriage to be measured, or shall by any means, or in any way prevent, or attempt to prevent, any constable peace-officer, or other such person as afore said, or hinder or obstruct him in measuring the same, the person so offending shall forfeit for every such offence the sum of 51." as Daniel ACCIDENT TO DANIEL CA LAG lIAN, ESQ. — Olt k kin cus tomary promenade in the enclosure, St. James s Park ; Callaghan, W ednesciy E a s f q h , rn lrl. n P ' . about for C othrkr,eevio'as'e o'cloc k, g , Is whilst walking musingly on the extreme verge of the lake, his attention being for a moment withdrawn, he stepped, or rather slipped, into the water, w h ere it was some four feet deep.

Yesterday William Henry Stokes, Thomas Brom ley, and Thomas Turnbull, appeared before Mr. Bal lantine, charged with obstructing and assaulting Mr. Robert Garrett, the London Dock-master, in the exe cution of his duty, and blockading the entrance lock, at Wapping, in such a manner, that the egress of vessels and craft was for some time prevented, and great confusion prevailed. Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor, prosecuted on the part of the London Dock Company, and said the de fendants were all lightermen. He read several clauses in the Dock Act giving authority to the Dock ml..ster to regulate the admission and departure, as well as the mooring and unmooring, removal and stations, of all vessels and craft. Mr. Robert Garrett, the Dock- master, stated that on the evening of th e 13th, a b ou t e i g ht o ' c l oc k, an d an hour before high water, the whole width of the lock at the entrance next the river was blockaded by the defentlants' barges, and nothing could pass either in or out of the lock, and there were several barges at the time in the lock ready to come out, and the dock basin at the north end of the lock was quite full of vessels and craft. He ordered the defendants to shove astern, and make room for the craft to come out, which they refused to do, and held on by the pier -head with their long staves, or boat-hooks, each endeavouring to get before the others. He unhooked their hitchers, but as fast as he did so they were hooked on again, and the defendants attempted to bring their craft in, although it was impossible for them to pass through. Ile then sent down a man named Adams to shove the barges astern, but finding he was not attended to, he went down into the lock himself, and got upon the defendant's barges and removed their boat-hooks, but they immediately hooked on again to the corner of the pier -head, and as often as he removed them the boat-hooks were made fast again. One of the prisoners said, " l'Ve will heave the - overboard, he has no business in our craft," and they hustled and shouldered him in a most violent manner. Stokes eventually took up a broom stick, and with both hands made a blow at his head, which he parried, and caught the blow with his hands, and while he was struggling to get the broomstick from him, Stokes struck him a violent blow on the face with his fist. He afterwards obtained the assistance of the lockman and the river police, and their barges were removed, the craft in the lock passed out into the river, and after some time the business was pro ceeded with. Mr. BALLANTINE fined the defendant Stokes 31., and the other defendants 40s. each. At the intercession of Mr. Humphreys, who said the object of the Dock Company was answered by a conviction, the Magistrate reduced the penalty on Stokes to 205., and upon the others to 10s. each, for which they expressed thanks. Joseph - Hates, a waterman and lighterman, was Sned 205., for illegally navigating three barges to gether, and taking others in tow on the river. T. 2 G O._ J LA oh S n G M"Crae A , sawyer,S SIZEanSd. Catherine SF r MTa yor 211'Crae his servant, we r e c h arge d w ith the cruel and barbarous treatment, or wilful and cul pable neglect, of the male prisoner's wife, a person of weak or unsound mind, in so far as on the 28th of May last, and afterwards up to the 3d day of August, by having fitted up a press in the kitchen of the house in Coburg-lane, of a size and structure utterly unfit for the habitation of a human being—only three feet six inches in height, two feet and a half in breadth in front, and diminishing to one foot four inches at the back, and two feet six inches in height to a shelf above, in which the said woman Margaret Cameron or M'Crae, was kept night and day with the door fixed with a hook and eye, and which press contained no bed or bedclothes, but was littered with straw on the floor. The charge against the female prisoner was cruelly, barbarously, wilfully, and culpably neglecting to take charge of her mistress, allowing her to remain in a state of nakedness, and in a filthy and squalid con dition, by all which she became reduced to a state of idiotcy, lost the power of her limbs, and was put in danger of her life. Both prisoners pleaded Not Guilty. After a lengthened trial, the Jury, without leaving the box, returned a verdict, finding John M'Crae Guilty of the wilful and culpable neglect charged, and Catharine M'Crae Guilty of the culpable neglec charged. Lord M'Kenzie then sentenced John M'Crae to one year's imprisonment. Tile female prisoner was then allowed to go from the bar. The caseoccupied upwards of nine hours. I'i MING THE CREEL. — O ne day last week an ang ling friend of ours : after whipping the Doon for a long time without success, observed a young wild duck sailing down quietly with the stream. Examining his tackle to see that all was right, and determined, since he had captured no fish, to make a trial of his luck with fowl, he succeed e d i n throwing a light Limerick hook gently over the neck of the bird. Birr went the reel--away squattered the duck—and, after a few desperate efforts to escape, she was safely brought to land and put into the basket " I think," said a youth who observed the transaction, "that's the best filledcreel 3 , e have had this season."—Ayr Observer Mehemet Ali has presented to his Majesty Louis Philippe a male giraffe.
