WALTER PATON's PUBLIC EVEN ING CLASS for WRITING, &c., 2, Devonshire-street, Portland-place.—ln consequence of numerous applications for IN STRUCTION in WRITING by persons whose immediate liveli hood or futunr -advancement depends on their proficiency in that art, and who find private lessons expensive, Mr. W. PATON has formed a CLASS at his own house, (on an economical, interest ing, and highly advantageous plan), where the various hands will be taught suitable to the man of business or the finished penman. Mr. Paton feels anxious that this class may be viewed as a com plete nursery for penmanship on undisputed principles, and as a barrier against the vague and improper encroachments of depraved taste and assumed talent so frequently pressed upon: the notice of the public, whose attention being necessarily directed to other ob jects, have not always time to investigate the merits of every pro posed system. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 6toS in the evening. Terms may be known by applying to Mr. Paton. Paton's copy lines sold at 27, Paternoster-row. Mr. PATON has published the following PRINTS, to which he respectfully begs to call the attention of the Public : The Late DUKE of YORK..--The most interesting and powerful Likeness of the late Duke of York will be found in His R o y a l Hi g hness's mcmo.:!:ble Speech on the Catholic Claims, ornamentally Written and Engraved on a Plate 111 by 16 inches, by Mr. WALTER PATON, which may be had of the Printsellers generally, and of 11Ir. Paton. Price is. 6d. India, and ss. plain the Portrait, without the Writing, 3s. From , the Literary Gazette, Sept. 23, 1826 - :—" Mr. Paton could not have devised surer means of attracting attention to his great abilities as a penman than by adorning this specimen of them with so admirable a likeness of the Commander-ill-Chief. It is from Jackson's fine portrait, a most powerful and striking resemblance, and beautifully engraved by Thomson, in an oval about the size of half a crown piece. At this moment, when His Royal Highness's health causes so much anxiety, it is peculiarly interesting. The example of writing does great credit to Mr. Paton's genius as a master in that profession." The Late PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.—Paton's grand dis play of Ornamental Penmanship, in Memory of her Royal High ness the Princess Charlotte, containing an extremely fine Minia ture Portrait in the centre, and dedicated by permission to the King. Size of the plate 18 by 211%, inches. Price one guinea India, and Iss. plain. From the " Imperial Magazine, Nov. 1825 :—" The difficulties attending the contrivance and execution of fine ornamental pen manship are well known to its professors, and commonly lead the performer into sameness of composition and poverty of execution, but in Mr. Paton's specimen there is no repetition: the hands are so admirably chosen and arranged, the flourishes so varied and natural, and the whole performance so exquisitely fine, that it may unquestionably be considered the,most magnificent production in the art of ornamental penmanship that has ever appeared in this country," &c. 2, Devonshire-street, Portland-place.

Mild, yet effec tual in their operation, without mercury or mineral, and requiring no restraint in diet or confinement during their use, possessing the power to clear the intestines of the bile which may be acting offensively to them, at the same time correcting and improving the secretion, without increasing the quantity secreted. Females find the occasional use of them materially beneficial to their general health, as their purely Vegetable composition is not likely to dis agree with the most delicately constituted stomach. Noticing can show their superiority more than the approval of Families of dis tinction, as well as the Public and Medical Men in present prac tice.

After an adjournment, from Friday, the 12th inst., by John Smith, Egg., these Sessions were resumed on last Tuesday. Among the cases tried, the following contains features of a very humourous description : PAT. FARRELL V. GEORGE BELTON' AND LALOP.. This was a prosecution for assault, as committed on prosecutor, Farrell, (who is a publican), in his own house. lie stated that prisoners, wet souls,'having been on the look out for drink, came to his house— Belton—Eh, Farrell; it was'nt the first time, Mr. Far cell; we paternized you.—(Laughter.) Prosecutor—They were politely refused, but kicked up a " row ;" he had to get them out forcibly; when out, Lalor broke the window; he had it afterwards repaired; Belton made a blow at him (prosecutor); flung his shoes at him.—(Laughter.) Belton—'Twas all frinship, Mr. Farrell.—(Loud laughter.) Prosecutor—Lalor was very drunk—Belton only some what muddled. Lalor—(to the Jury)—Gintlemin, gintlemin, I'll tel rou what— Belton here interrupted the harangue in its infancy by clapping his left hand closely on Lalor's potato-trap, from which only the solitary ejaculation, " arrah, go to G—d," was permitted to escape. Belton having thus, by might, secured the right of opening their joint case, attracted the prosecutor's notice by some energetic flourishes with his right hand, and, in the graceful attitude of a note of inter rogation, asked, with Beltonian fire—" pray, Master Far rel, I say, did'nt myself and (pointing to Ltilor) this jontil trian, condisind to introduce ourselves."..---[The ludicrous gravity with which this address commenced, and the self complacency with which Lalor received his eloquent friend's compliment, had the effect of closing the appeal amid con vulsions of laughter.] Prosecutor—(to the Barrister) —Mrs. Farrell had deter mined on detaining Lalor for a previous balance of about 7d.; Lalor demurred ; a squabble commenced ; words grew loud and passions high; and, to keep the peace, prosecutor thrundled 'em both (the prisoners) out of the house. Lalor—He would give it to us, please your reverence, the seven days of the week and Sunday besides.—(Laugh ter.) He was jealous, because we favoured other gintilmen in his line.—(Laughter.) If I got credit for 7d., I got cre dit for seven childer that sarved his Majesty, God bless his rayalty.---(Continued laughter.) Prosecutor—(to the Barrister) —I threw them out. Belton—Youthrew a good many out, Master Farrell. Lalor—Ne-aye, Mr. Farrell, you were jealous of us, be cause we had drink elsewhere. Please your honor's reve rence, (to the Barrister), we were welcome to it the Sun day and the long seven days of the week, so we'd go to Mr. Farrell—that's the pint (point.) Mere Lalor's volubility of tongue was likely to strip Belton of his rhetorical laurels, and he accordingly imposed a friendly padlock with his hands on Lalor's mouth.] — (Increased laughter.) . The Barrister, after restoring silence and order, ob served to the Jury, (padlock relaxed, and the delinquents on tip-toe), that there was not evidence (very significant glances interchanged between the prisoners amid gracious opening smiles upon the Barrister) to warrant ~mviction of the persons at the bar for an assault, and upon a ver dict of Not Guilty being pronounced, their discharge was ordered. Here Belton's oratory was quite overwhelmed in the loud and vehement invocations of Lalor, as he jumped out of the side-bar on the table, and shouted to the Barris ter—" My noble alderman, my royal aldertnan—(cheers and laughter)—my justest judge—my ould boy—(tre mendous laughter)—arrah, go to G—d, Belton—Belton be asy—(poor George wanted a hearing of all things)— long life may attend you my honest alderman, aad may your big wig be younger every day of your life, my ould boy—the showers of grace on your reverence with a dooragh, and, och, may your honor never die of the chin cough, at any rate." The gravity of the Learned Barrister at length com pletely gave way before this last and moving aspiration, and he was obliged to take share in the resistless laughter that convulsed the Jury, as well as the rest of those in the Court.—Dublin Patriot.

A General Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of this Com pany was held yesterday, at No. 12, King's Arms-yard, Coleman street, to receive from the Directors their Annual Report for the past year, JOHN SMITH, Esq., M.P., the Governor, was in the Chair. The SECRETARY then read the Report for the past year. It stated the general prosperity of the Settlement, and that the Natives had placed themselves under the protection of the Com pany's servants. _ - It was moved by Mr. HART DAVIS, and seconded by Mr. BRIGHT, that " the Report be confirmed." Carried unanimously. Thanks were voted to the Chairman and Directors. The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the compliment, stated, that the Directors received no salary. INDEPENDENT GAS COMPANY. EXTRAORDINARY ARRESTS.-About one hundred and twenty share-holders of an Independent Gas Company were on Thursday arrested by Sheriff's Officers, for an alleged debt due to the late en gineer oitlie Company. He says that he was engaged for seven vexes, but was discharged at Christmas last ; and he now makes a demand of between 2,000 and 3,0001., for which he caused the Shareholders to be arrested. Many of the Shareholders remained in custody in consequence of their having refused to acknowledge the debt, while others gave bail. An extraordinary General Meeting of the share-holders of the Independent Gas Company was held last evening at the City of London Tavern, convened at a few hours' notice, in consequence of the very extraordinary circumstances connected with the arrest of the whole Company, on the previous day, at the suit of Mr. Hinde, the late principal engineer of the Company's works. —The room was crowded to excess, notwithstanding the short ness of the notice. ERRNEZER FERNIE, Esq., was called to the chair, and in taking his seat, congratulated the Meeting on the full attendance, notwithstanding the extraordinary dilemma into which the ma jority of the share-holders had been drawn, and jocosely ob served, that whenever in future he should require a full attend ance of the Directors, the surest way to accomplish it would be by arresting them. A long conversation ensued relative to the proceedings adopted by Mr. Hinde, in which the leading feature was a feeling of ge nera! indignation at that persons condect. The circumstances which occasioned the assembling of the Meeting were very itn rortant, and involved questions of considerable interest to the share-holders and directors of joint-stock companies. Mr. llinde had lately been discharged from the Company's service, after h th a e vin a g d notwithstanding, under writs against 120 share holders and Directors for a claim he set up of between 2,0001. and 8,0001. for remuneration, at the rate of five per sent. on the capital laid out in the erection of the gasworks (50,0001.), and many bankers and merchants were arrested on Thursday morning in consequence. It was moved and seconded without a dissentient voice, that criminal proceedings should be immediately commenced, at the suit of the Company, against their late Engineer, there not being the least shadow of a pretext for the course he had thought proper to adopt.

The Meeting was but thinly attended. The petition was then read. It set forth the names of the Directors under whose sanction the Company was brought ant, some of whom were Members of Parliament ; and stated the various frauds alleged to have been practised on the Shareholder& and prayed that the House would take all these matters into con sideration, and institute a rigid inquiry into the conduct and ma nagement of the said Company. Mr. HAY moved, that the petition should be adopted by the Meeting.

MANSION-HOUSE.—On Thursday a young woman, smartly dressed, applied for a summons against some parish oficere, for refusing to give her relief. She stated to the Lord Mayor; that her husband had taken it into his head to manifest some jealousy, and had refused to support her; she had in consequence applied to the parish officers, who refused to give her any relief. There was a peculiarity in the manner of the applicant, and the LoaD MAYOR remarked, that there was more in the case than met the eye. She stated, in answer to his Lordship's question* that she hid left her husband for several weeks, but she declared that she bad been living with a respectable family; . and had neither Were, not since she left her home, given him any just cause ongfence. The LORD MAYOR granted the summons, and yesterday . 4 . 1 * hr, band came to answer it. He is a young man of very respaetena appearance, and it was remarked that the complainant never enCe ventured to look at him, nor to lift up her head after be entered the Court. He stated that he was clerk to a mercantile house, and that he had married the female at the bar whilst he was in good circumstances, and was capable of maintaining a family; he ad had two children by her. At length, however, be was visited by a paralytic stroke, which afflicted him for a considerable time, and at that time he experienced much neglect from her, notwithstand ing that he had treated her with uniform tenderness. He was induced to watch her, and he detected her in an adulterous act. Her conduct on that occasion was so gross, that he not onlyfound it his own duty, but he was required by his employer, to send her from his house. He suffered most from the neglect of his chil dren ; he had allowed her ss. per week, but her conduct subse quently was such, that be could not think of continuing the -allow ance. She continued in a state of adulterous intercourse with her new paramour. The LORD Mavoa interrogated the complainant, and obtained from her an admission which left not a doubt of the entire truth of the young man's statement. His Lordship then dismissed the case, declaring that he could make no order in favour of one who was living in a state of adul terous intercourse. The complainant was stupitied by the decision. She was led Gut of Court, and she was immediately after seized with hysterics. Her screams attracted a crowd round the Mansion house door, and she was carried into the Marshal's-office until she recovered. GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday Sharpe England, the clerk to Mr. Charles Sewell, hop factor, in the Borough, was brought before Mr. Aldsrmau Waithman for final examination, on a charge Of uttering a forged cheque for 3451. in the name of his employer, with intent to defraud Messrs. 'Janina,- and Co., bankers ; Lee bard-street. Mr. Bolland attended as Counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Law fur the prisoner. The deposition of Messrs. Han bury.'s clerk, that he paid the cheque, and gave the note, NO. 6957, for 300/. in payment; and the deposition of 11.1 r, Hawley'a clerk, that he received that note from the prisoner in payment of a watch, were both read. The latter witness stated that the pri soner left 2001. at Mr. Hawley's, for which be did not rent. Ira ; 1001. of it was given up to Mr. Cope, the. Marshal; and the other was put into circulation, Mr. Goble, a hop factor, and Mr. Isaac Sewell, brother to Mr. Charles Sewell, both ewers that the signature to the cheque was not Mr. Charles Sewell's hand writing. The latter gentleman was in court ready to pros the fact, but could not be called for the prosecution, and the pri soner's Counts! declined to examine him. The prisoner was corn- Mitted - for trial.' BOW-STREET.--Acrow, TO Wtr.—This was a charge of assault and battery on the one side, and of threatening or attenspe ing to shoot on the other. The facts which were elicited before Sir Richard Birnie were these : Mr. Frisby, a tradesman at Ay,- ton, in Middlesex, had become hail for a Mr. Rose of the same , place, who ought to have surrendered himself to the action at the commencement of the present Term ; but ever since that period he had been out of the way. Mr. Frisby employed two men to watch Mr. Rose's house, day and night, to take him if be should return thereto. On Wednesday night, about 11 o'clock, Mr. Frisby and his two assistants entered the house, and asked him R. if her husband was at home? She replied that he was not. They insisted upon searching the house, and Mr. Frisby, who bad a gun in his hand, was so violent, that Mrs. Rose, who was in an advanced stage of pregnancy, became alarmed ; she screamed, and Mr. Collet, a neighbour, hearing her cries, went to her assistance, and remonstrated with Mr. Frisby upon his illegal conduct, and by *lice ejected him from the house.—This was the assault com plained of by Mr. Frisby. Sir R. BIRNIE said, that he could easily conceive that Mr. Frisby might be very naturally irritated by the circumstances of Mr. Rose absconding from his bail ; but he was not justified in going to that man's house in the dead hour of the night, with fire arms, and forcibly searching the premises ; he (Sir R. Birnie) was not surprised that Mr. Collet should have rendered assistance to a defenceless woman in the situation of Mrs: Rope. Mr. Frisby said, that what he had done had been perfectly legal. He had acted under the advice of his Solicitor, Mr. Downing. Sir R. BIRNIE said, that he was quite sure Mr. Downing never had advised him to take a loaded gun upon the occasion. Mr. HALLS said, that he thought the interference of Mr. Collet on the occasion was perfectly called for.—The case was dismissed. Fo ll 3. l , A J R o 7 ln L D Eß ux o b N u E ry .— ali ßebee asK Ki n g, Mullins, old Dran w e o Wm. i man, a boy, were brought up for final examination upon a charge of robbery and housebreaking, committed as far back as the month of January, 1826. It appeared by the evidence that the family of Mr. Wil lingham, solicitor, residing in Park-road, having gone to church on Sunday the 22d January, 1826, leaving the house locked up , without any person in it, during their absence it was broken open, and robbed of various articles of jewellery and some Bank notes. The principal evidence against the prisoners was a girl of ten years old, daughter of the female prisoner, who stated, that the other prisoners breakfasted at her mother's on the morning of the robbery, and talked of going to rob Mr. Willingham's house ; after which they went out, and after coming hack said that they yta d George them. s e h o e r 0 s e a w Palmer,o n a t g i s t evidence t yo u ng mn y h pretty ad lsr r c things,hßb hpae..nshd,or someußs e E ; E and Bank.note s th y e c ae child s a i d a s i Mullins, Fox, and Duxbury were committed for trial. lad, was brought up for final examination, charged with having been one of a gang who robbed Captain Thomas Molloy, at Bethnal-green, on the 31st of last August. One of the gang, named Cotman has been since convicted and transported for the offence. Mr. Molloy proved that about the middle of the day in question, as he was walking through a field, near Beth nal-green, two young men rushed suddenly past him, one of whom snatched his watch-ribbon, which broke, and ran off' w i t h hi s sea l and key. Witness gave an alarm, and the robbers were pursued, but escaped. He could not identify the prisoner as one of them. Three witnesses stated that they saw a gang of six lads sitting in a field, who, on the approach of Mr. Molloy, went behind a house, and changed clothes ; two of them then rushed by Mr. Molloy ; the witnesses instantly heard him cry 4 , Stop thief!" and joined in the pursuit, but. the robbers escaped. The prisoner was one of the party. The prisoner was committed for trial. LAMBETH-STREET.—_A young man named John Smith, wbo, it was stated, was the son of a Captain in the army, was charged with felony. A young woman named Absolen4 who is engaged by Mr. Osborne, a haberdasher in Shoreditch, said, on Friday evening the prisoner came to Mr. Osborne's shop, and asked to see some black silk stockings; she took down some parcels to look for them, in one of which were four pair of white silk stockings, which the prisoner snatched up and ran away with. The duplicates of two pair of the stockings were found in his pos session. Another charge was preferred by Mr. Harrold, a hosier of Whiteohapel, for stealing 51. 10s.
