MANSIOXHOUSE.—A man named Talboy, the driver of a•taxed"'cart, was summoned before the Lox') MAYOR under thefollowing circumstances : A gentleman named Gray stated, that as he was walking 7With a friend in Green Lettuce-lane, the defendant drove violently towards him. The pathway was extremely nar row, and Mr. Gray, who was much alarmed at the rapidity -with which the cart was going, stood close up to the wall, and expostulated with the driver, who; however, laughed and hooted at him as the vehicle flew along. Some gen tlemen who witnessed the transaction requested that Mr. Gray would do the public the service of appearing against the fellow. lle (Mr. Gray) would, if he had not taken great care, no doubt have been knocked to pieces. This statement was confirmed by Mr. Gray's friend, who said that the defendant highly enjoyed the alarm which his conduct had excited. The defendant, upon being asked what he had to say, merely said—" Vy, my Lord, I've got a vitness." This witness, however, happened to see no part of the transaction alluded to. He merely saw that Mr. Gray col lared the defendant, and that a scuffle ensued. The LORD MAYOR, upon finding that he could not fine the defendant for rapid driving, the law to punish a delin quency of that kind not affecting carts such as the de fendant drove, ordered him to pay a penalty of 20s. for having improperly caused an interruption. The defendant,-.." i ha'nt got none." The officer was then ordered to lock lip the driver, who, however, preferred paying the money. Mr. Farley, to whom a summons had been issued upon the charge of haying unlawfully detained a bill of exchange which had been accepted by Mr. Jennings, a barrister, ap peared before the Loan Macon, and stated that he had given up :the bill, upon being paid 15/. which had been due to him from some of the parties. This statement not having been contradicted upon the part of Mr. Jennings, for whom a gentleman appeared, the Loan MAYO 4 said that he, of course, had nothing more to do with the matter, MARYLEBONE-OFFICE.—We last week noticed an application made at this office, for a warrant to apprehend a man then unknown, charged with having decoyed Clara Fisher, a child not six years old, into the fields, and there abused her person; and now we have the satisfaction to state, that he was apprehended yesterday morning by Buckeridge and Hooker, the officers, and brought before Mr. Hoorins, The name of this wretch is James Jones Evans, a little dirty-looking shoe-maker, of tipper Dorset-street, who notwithstanding three little innocent victims to his depra vity by turns shrunk with luirror at his presence, stood the brunt of his examination with undaunted effrontery. The first charge was made by Clara Fisher, a delicate child not six years old until the 13th of August. Her parents live at No. 4, James-street, Oxford-street. On Thursday afternoon, the 10th of May, the prisoner enticed her away by giving her an orange, and telling her lie was her uncle. He took her first to a house where he said her aunt wanted to see her, but did not take her in, because (he told her) her aunt was gone away. He afterwards took her into the fields, and there, no doubt, according to the child's evidence, he made attempts which were frustrated by her resistance. He threatened to beat her if she did not suffer him to do as he pleased, which he put into execution, for lie gathered sonic thorn twigs from the hedge, and whipped her severely. After three or four hours he brought her back, and left her in the neighbourhood of her home. Mr. Williams, a surgeon, examined the child ; her skin was lacerated by the whipping, and her person was very much injured by bruises, which might have been produced by the band, or otherwise. The second charge against the prisoner was Made by Mary Perry, nine years old in June next. On Tuesday last, about one o'clock, he enticed her away from the door of her father's house, No. 5, Adam-street-west, near the Edgware-road : he took her into Green-lane•field, between Paddington and Bayswater, and there, according to her evidence, he would have accomplished his horrid purpose, if he had not been disturbed. Thomas Harris, of No. 8, Stingo lane, with two other young men, saw the prisoner and Mary Perry lying side by-side upon the grass, on Tuesday afternoon, in the field before-mentioned. They did not take particular notice, for they were in pursuit of birds' nests ; soon afterwards, a very lame man came b', and as he passed the prisoner, he uttered a loud exclamation, which drew the attention of Harris and his companions to the spot. They returned; the child was crying bitterly, and the lame man charged the prisoner with a capital offence, and called upon God to witness- the truth of his assertion. The prisoner, in reply, said, No, I never do such a thing: any thing else, but not that.'-' , Merril -asked the - chil d some questions , but het sobs prevented her froln giving him any answers. The prisoner said she had pricked herself with a thorn. He brought her back to the Edgware-road, and escaped. Letitia White, five years of age, was taken into the fields by the prisoner on the Ist of May, and was cruelly beaten by him, because she cried when he hurt her. Other charges are to be brought forward, and the pri soner is remanded. Occasionally the poor children were so Overcome by the'sight of him, that it was necessary to place hien behind the door. He disclaimed all knowledge of two of his accusers', but acknowledged that he was with Mary Perry, as stated by Thomas Harris. LAMBETU-STREET.•---SnErN, TYE Aluarmaxa. In the haste necessarily incidental to the confusion and crowds that assembled en the examination of the above culprit, And the late hour at which it took place, several facts by no means devoid of interest escaped our notice, which we have since learned. The place where James's house was situated, and Sheen was ultimately captured, was in a valley surrounded by a number of mountains ; from the one to the other of these there was a direct tele graphic communication, and this (it having been known that a London officer was in pursuit) was unremittingly kept up by several scouts, who were placed on the different pro montories ; and Davis being aware of this, and indeed at one time hearing a cry out of—" There he is"—" there he comes" —was obliged to skulk up underneath hedges and ditches, in order to keep himself concealed ; and after get ting within 30 yards of the house, on his third visit to it, he succeeded, as has been before stated, in securing his prisoner. On leaving the office on Saturday night, the crowds which surrounded the coach in which the culprit was con veyed were of the most alarming description. They con tinued on the increase from Lambeth-street to the Old Bailey ; and on passing through Cheapside the ire of the mob was so excessive, that were it not owing to the resolu tion of the accompanying officers, the culprit, in all proha biliiy, would have been sacrificed without even a trial. On reaching Newgate, the Governor, Mr. Wontner, with Harris, and half a dozen assistants; were in waiting to re ceive him. The numbers assembled in the Old Bailey ex ceeded even those collected in the vicinity of the office, and it was with no small difficulty that Shelswell'and the other officers were able to effect their way through the crowd. Throughout their progress from the office, the multitude added to its numbers, when after considerable exertion the culprit was placed in the hands of Mr. Wontner. A Prayer-book, and other necessary auxiliaries to the awaken ing of his mind to the awful situation in which he was placed, were handed to him. While on his way to New gate, he maintained all the self-possession which he showed while under examination ; and the only expression that escaped his lips, showing any consciousness of his guilt, was " I don't care for myself, but it will be a terrible thing for my poor mother." On Sunday, his mother, to whom he seems much attached, called to see him. She was of course admitted, and the inter view took place in the presence of Mr. Bishop, under whose special care Sheen is placed. The meeting (for lie bears no thing of the appearances of the hardened offender) even affect ed the criminals around him; she remained with him about half an hour, and immediately after leaving him, Mr. ex- Sheriff Kelly and Mr. Baker called upon him ; and in the course of their conversation, one of the officers asked him if he intended to employ a counsel for his defence, as from what he had read in the papers he believed his case to be very hazardous ? The prisoner answered, "Oh ! I have seen the papers down in Wales ; they tell lies : they say I have got 5/. for marrying my wife, but the parish only gave me 305." His conduct, both from the time of his apprehension up to last night, was cool and steady ; there was neither levity or fearfulness at all exhibited ; and though several attempts were made by his brethren in misfortune to extract from him the reasons that led to such an act, he carefully avoided entering into the most distant particulars. TANNING TRADE.-It was lately mentioned that this trade had suffered severely from the general dull ness, and it is something consoling to be able to state, that it is now rapidly improving. It has been very good in London for a fortnight past, and the beneficial effects are already beginning to be felt in this quarter. Four pretty extensive yards in this town have recently been purchased by new companies, and are on the eve of being set in full operation. The tanned leather meets a reap sale, and, during last week, several merchants from the west country visited Leith in quest of the raw material. The scarcity of horse hides is a traitor drawback at present. The supply . from South America has been very limited for a consider able time, and consequently there . has been a considerable advance in the plice,...Bcotintan. TIM ARMY. GENERAL ORDER. HORSE GUARDS, MAY 10. His Majesty i s gr a c i o usly p l ease d to hold out to half-pay Officers the following encouragements to become settlers in New South Wales and VanDieman's Land, in addi tion to those detailed in the General Order of the Bth of June last. Officers of all ranks n half-pay are eligible t o en j o y t h e advantages offered by the said General Order, as well as those held out by the present order, and they shall not be required to sell their half-pay, or make any deposit as se curity, the intention being that they shall retain their half pay, and obtain grants of land without purchase, subject, however, t; , the conditions hereinafter specified, viz.:— The remission of quit rent shall take place for a certain number of years beyond the average period which is pre scribed in the case of ordinary settlers, according to the following scale. Officers who have served twenty years and upwards, to be exempted from all quit rent. Officers who have served fifteen years and upwards, but short of twenty years, to be exempted from quit rent for the first twenty years. Officers who have served ten years and upwards, but short of fifteen years, to be exempted from quit rent for the first fifteen years. Officers who have served seven years and upwards, but short of ten years, to be exempted from quit rent for the first ten years. No officer to be eligible under seven years service, nor any who cannot produce satisfactory testimonial of good good conduct, and unquestionable character. In other respects the conditions on which the grants are made, to be similar to those which are now in operation at New South Wales. The officer to whom land is granted, shall enter into a bond, that he, or his family, shall reside for at least seven years in the settlement, and the grant shall not be allowed to be sold by him until he: shall be reported to have ex pended upon it a capital eqval to half its value, as that value was estimated when the grant was made. For instance, supposing the grant to be 200 acres, at the estimated value of ss. per acre, the individual will not he allowed to sell it until he shall be reported to have expended 251. upon it. In the event, however, of his death taking place before the expenditure of capital al ready alluded to, the grant will be continued to his heirs, but subject to the fulfilment of the conditions under which he himself held the grant. The quantity of land to be received by officers will be in the same proportion to their capital, as in the case of ordinary settlers; but until as accurate valuation has been made of the lands throughout the colony, and an average price shall be fixed for each parish, it is not pos sible for the Colonial Department to fix the quantity of land which any individual may be able to obtain in pro portion to his capital. The quantity of land to be granted must depend entirely upon the value which that land, either from local circum stances, or from its peculiar eharacter, may possess; and this, as must be evident, can only be determined in the Colony. The officer who may avail himself of this offer, will be required to provide for his own passage, and that of his family, to the Colony. The ordinary rates of passage are the following, as far as can be collected from the best sources of information which have been applied to : TO NEW SMITH WALES. Cabin £94 10 0 Steerage TO VAN DIEMAN'S LAND. Cabin £B4 0 0 Steerage _. _ 35 0 0 Every thing supplied to the passengers except bedding. Ten pounds are deducted from cabin, and 51. from steerage passage, in case of a man and his wife occupying one birth. Children of 14 years pay the same as adults. From 9 to 13 -3ds. 5 to 8 2 to 4.

THE SELF-TAUGHT SCULPTOR.—The lo vers of Art have been flocking during the last week, to see Mr. Lough's charming Models, and Mr. Brougham has ordered the Samson to be executed by Mr. Lough at his own price. This enlightened statesman will thus have the honour of having ordered, and of being possessed of the first marble work of this extraordinary artist—Examiner. The valuable diamonds which were presented to his wife by Mr. Wellesley Long Pole were sold by Christie, at his rooms, in King-street, on Friday; as they were brilliants of the first water, and set in exquisite taste, great competition was very naturally excited in the fashion able world for the purch ase of a considerable portion of them. The amount produced by the actual sale was between six and seven thousand pounds. The large diamonds were bought in at about two thousand five hundred pounds. We heard in the room, that the original cost of the whole was upwards of twenty thousand pounds. ELOPEMENT.—On Thursday evening . last, the town of Barnet was thrown into a state of considerable confusion, in consequence of an affair betwixt a gentletnan named " Smith" and the father ,of a Miss H. D., which lasted nearly one hour. It r.ppears that the lady had been seduced from her home, and was then on the road to " Gretna Green," with our enterprising son of Neptune, when, being overtaken by the indignant father, while par taking of some refreshment at the " Travellers' Inn," a fight ensued, " not with sword or pistol," but with the " gifts of nature," alias " fists." Both " peeled," and an admirable " set-to" it was. Blows were repaid with blows. Claret flowed profusely ; both proved " high game," and afforded a real treat to our " Fancy." At length I)ad received a tremendous hit on his " eannister," which felled him to the ground. Time MIS called, but he was inseLsiliie; and our hero, accompanied by the " un dutiful charmer," drove off, amidst the tumultuous acclama tions of the surrounding crowd, who were afterwards quickly dispersed by the civil authorities.-- Observer. RIOT AT BODMIN GAOL.—Last Monday the prisoners at Bodmin, sentenced to hard labour, mani fested symptoms of insubordination, and refused to go upon the tread-mill. Two of the visiting Magistrates, the Rev. Jos. Pomeroy and the Rev. Nicholas Kendall, were imme diately sent for, who, on their arrival, remonstrated with the rioters, but in vain; they tore up the railing which enclosed the wheel, and arming themselves, prepared for resistance. The staff of the Cornwell Militia were then mustered and drawn up in the outer yard of the prison. As soon as their arrival was announced to the prisoners, they gave three cheers, shouting—" Death or vic tory."—The Magistrates attempted to remonstrate with them a second time, but the attempt was equally unsuccessful. The soldiers were then directed to enter the inner yard ; and as the first file were about to pass the gate, some of the most daring of the rioters attempted to wrest their muskets from them. This attack was spiritedly and successfully resisted without firing, and the rioters retreated, some of them having been knocked down with the butt-end of the muskets, and five of the most refractory being secured and lodged in se parate cells, the others submitted. Sowden, who was convicted at the late Truro Sessions of a violent assault on the constables of Camborne, being the ringleader, was again ordered by the Magistrates to ascend the wheel, which lie positively refused to do. The Magistrates finding it absolutely necessary to chew the prisoners that they were resolved to enforce obedience, ordered him to be flogged, which operated so powerfully that obedience was restored, and the others immediately resumed their stations on the wheel. Cornwall Gazette. An extraordinary feat at shooting was per formed at Corby, on Monday last, by one of Mr. Howard's gamekeepers, a young man named Carruthers. He threw up fifteen oranges in suc cession, with his left hand; holding his gun in the right, and hit twelve out of fifteen with ball. A wager was the origin of the experi, ment, and Carruthers won, having just performed that which he undertook to, do. There are few such expert marksmen.—Carlisle Patriot. The Carlisle new Cricket Club continue their practice sedulously, and rapidly improve. The Derwent side (Cockermouth) Club are highly spoken of in the local papers, and an opinion is expressed that " in the course of the summer they will he able to contend with any club in the north of England." We doubt not their ability ; But will they so contend ? If so, we have heard it hinted, they may at the period spoken of be accommodated by the Carlisle Club. Let Coc kermouth send Carlisle a challenge, and we do not expect to hear of its refusal.
