The NEW REGULATIONS at BILLINGSGATE MARKET. , MANSION-HOUS E.—Yesterday several of the oyster boat proprietors and others interested in the trade, appeared before the LORD MAYOR to answer the complaint of Mr. Mitchelson, the Under Water Bailiff, and several other officers of Billingsgate Market, who charged them with dis obedience to the Lord Mayor's orders, which di rected that an existing cause of great public in convenience should be removed. Mr. Mitchelson said, that his Lordship's order to prevent the sharing of oysters at several parts of the market had been stuck up, but the proprietors totally neglected it and con tinued to land their oysters at other places besides the head of the dock, to which place the landing was directed to be confined, to the great inconecoience of the puitlic. Two offi cers of police had been stationed in the market to see that the order was put into execution, but the owners infringed it, and desired to Slll3/311t the case to the Lord Mayor, convinc ed that his Lordship would decide in their favour, to the pre judice of the public,. who suffered from the obstinacy of the owners. The injury was two fold, the greatest possible in convenience arising from the crowded state of the maikeg and the difficulty of procurim; good oysters at a reasonable price, individuals who wanted to purchase, not having it its their power to go front boat to' boat to choose, ip consequence of the very great irregularity of the system for a length of time followed by the proprietors, ‘‘ho . derived a benefit from the difficulty. - LORD MAYOR, who had the assistance of Alderman Atkins upon this occasion, said the City Lands Committee had, after a great deal of deliberation, resolved upon pre scribing a more limited jurisdiction to the oyster proprietors, as to the landing. That Committee had, he was convinced, the public interest in view in recommending the regulations, and the defendants must find their own advantages eventually in the arrangement. • The proprietors one and all declared, that the alteration alluded to was not sought for by the public, itlthough it might be attended with some advantage to those who were the most anxious to have it effected. They thought it an extreme seve rity, that alter having laboured for many years at the trade, ,all at once such a check upon I profits should be put. In fact if his Lordship persisted, the business could not be done, and the public would suffer a very serious inconvenience ; besides that, the proprietors would sustain itteparable injury front the stoppage of the trade, the boats at a distance n A being able to corns at a proper time for sale, and t h e COU11110• dity bei«g very perishable. Alderman ATK INS said, the boats should be arranged in re gular order in the dock, and as one boat was discharged ano ther-should take its. place. By this plan the buyer•could vhsily go from boat to boat to choose oysters, instead of be ing obliged to take them at the discretion of the bobbers or agents. *the Proprietors said, it . was impassible that such a plan could succeed, the dock being very small, and the arrival of oyster boats very great every morning. They. were wil ling to prevent all inconvenience to the market by sending the oysters round Darkhouse lane. One of them deelar,ed that he paid 1001. a week for the mere metage ; another, that .he had laid out in the two seasons in oysters 35,0001..; and an other, that since lie commenced trade he had laid out 130,0001, in that commodity. :They begged that instead of putt'ng the order into execution, two ladders would be allowed to them from the side of the market to the boats, by which the dis advantages they laboured under for some time would be re moved, and the public benefited. The Loan MAYOR said, he was determined that the experi ment should be tried, and was of opinion, that it would be successful. The proprietors at the same time should have all possible facilities of landing. • The proprietors withdrew, declaring that the greatest pos sible contusion would take place, and expressing their dis satisfaction strongly butt respectfully. WAUOINGTON, THE RADICAL.-This important little crew lure again applied to the Lord Mayor for his board. Mr. • Wuntner said, the board was in pound, in the green-yard.— ' The Lord Mayor represetated to the little man what he had ' said before, and desired him to rest satisfied. Waddington said, " Then I shall indict the o ffi cers( and marched out of the roots. GAMBLING HOUSES. UNioNT=HALL—In consequence of information recei ved at this Office, a warrant was issued' On Thursday night to search the house of person, named Barnett, near the Surrey Theatre, who was accused with keeping a Gambling-house, under colour of is being a spruce beer shop. At the appoint ed hoar the whole of the posse comitatus proceeded to the ren dezvous, where they gained admission after much difficulty. Their first object was to secure the woman* the bar, with as tittle noise as poSsible, and this being accomplished; they pro ceeded to the hack parlour, where they beard a rattling, as if of dice, and the echo of many voices and footsteps ; but the door Was locked. A council 'was held as to what was most ex pedient to be done, and it was at length agreed to force the door; by a simultan eo us eff...rt t.his vris speed i ly put in exc chtion, and the officers rushed in in a body, to the great dis eomfiture of about 20 person s , who wei.e sorionntling`a hazard • table, very intent upon the game. The (Akers to :de sc ramble , , the dice ant g l o b t e e tt ie h l if t 'a d ion . ey ; was ftjat (... r.9 oClingbourne mt. and Lis. bd. in silver, the result of which Hall 11. 6s. in money .and and the other Various parts of the paraphernalia otthe table; but money to a great amount, which laid on tint table, was seized by the players, helot e the otfieerS could approach. The . greatcst confusion then ensued ; the window was fOrced out, and Ma-. escaped;try but by the activity of the Police, no less than 20 persons (including fire women) were secured and lodg ed in various places of confinement. A table, upon which they played, was brought:to the Office; it was ti! very curious construction, in the middle was a circle, marked with . an i v ory i n l a y, within which the dice ‘'‘'ere cast ; round that was another circle, six or eight itichsbrOad,, appropriated Solely sooner; the.rest of the table was tatiskt,teeds e at f i o d rihe betting g to lasses and bottles. The parties, to gether with the keeper of the hOuse, were brought up to the Office yesterday, and 'undenient au examination before lt. J. Chambers and D. king, 'Esqr.. the presiding Magistrates. They were allleld to bail. liberal and disinterested spirit, of which he has given an early proof, in placing under the direc tion and management'of the Halifax Agricultural Society, a farm in the neighbourhood of that city. From the Halifax Papers to the 12th ult. received on Saturday we make the following extracts ; and with regard to_ gnigration, we can only ex, press our hope, that it will receive that encour agement which may render it alike beneficial to the Mother Country and her Colonies., PROVINCIAL aGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The Monthly Meeting of the Directors was this day held in the Province Building; and his Excellency Sir JAMES limitir took the Chair at twelve o'clock for the dispatch of the ordi nary business. The Board first turned its attention to the appointment of the Fall Ploughing Match which was recommended to the dif ferent Societies by the general meeting of April, and for which pi ()vision was to lie drawn from the pi irate funds of each. It was thought by the Directors utyadvisable'to crowd it into the day of the fair and cattle show to be' held on the Peninsula of Halifax o❑ the, 6th of September next.; and then fore it was determined that the day immediately : after would be much more eligible, as affording greater leisure to spectators, and as giving an opportunity, particularly to those strangers who might attend the fair fur the sake of real busi ness, of completing all purchases and sales, free from the in- terruption and hurry winch this r vela tnight . occasion. The Match will then take place Oil the 7th of September, at twelve o'clock, and the prizes will be the same in number, in hind, and in value, as those which were distributed in Ma'y last. The regulations, by which the conduct of the competi tors is meant to be directed, are not yet prepared; but they will be published in due time ; and,in the interim, the far mers in the vicinity of Halifax will consider this as a public enunciation of the purpose of the Central Board, and will in timate to their ploughmen the day of competition, and the prizes to be won. 'll►e_f►rst prize shall consist of a silvet medal and 5 potiuds currency. The second ditto, of ditto, and of three pounds. The third ditto, of ditto, and of two pounds. The fourth ditto, of ditto, and of one pound. Two lette►a were next read, the one front N. ATcarsog, Esq. and the other from Art•iutnt AIKIN, Esq. Secretary to the Society of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce; London, which were accompanied with a present of the 3t;11) vo!unie of the Transactions of that respectable and eminently useful Institution, and with` a promise that the future volumes and other occasional publications would by transmitted in regular succession. This mark 61 attention front a Society of such high standing in the mother country, and which must be at tributed to the favourable representations -of our Colonial Agent, was received with great applause ; and the thanks of the Central Board were ordered to be conveyed by the first packet. The Lieutenant-Governor then drew the attention of the Directors to some public token of respect due by the Provin cial Agricultural Society to their founder, who was now gone to the seat of his Government, and who merited, by his per severance and xeal, all that their gratitude could prompt. A Committee was then named to prepare an Address to the Right Hon. the Earl of DALHOUSIE, expressive of the-high sense entertained by' the Directors of his Lordship's past sr r vices in the cause of the Provioxial Agriculture, and to con gratulate hint on his sate arrival at Quebec. Sir JAMES Keeler then .Mused the Meeting by a second act of liberality in ► behalf of the justitution. He statett, as his .wish, that the Ninth Farm, which was in his gift as Governor, should be put under the management of the Directors, and be at their disposal during the period of his administering the Government. He conceived that au Agricultural-Society would derive benefits from having the command of .a piece of ground in the neighbourhood of the town, fur the purl use of grazing.such live stuck as Might be from . timeto time impit ed ; of holding ploughing - Matches; of making experiments; or of applying it beneficially in furtherance of the many ob jects which the hoard might have in contemplation. His - Excellency then proceeded to nominate as a Committee of Management, the HMI. Judge-Halihurton, H. H. Cogswell, Matthew Richardsoh,,Peter SPNab, Esqrs. and requested them to take necessary steps for converting that Faint to the use of the Society. Halifax, July 4. JOHN 'YOUNG, Sec. TIIE ARM Y.
