Whereas in divers parts of Great Britain, and more par ticularly in the towns of Derby and Nottingham, and in the city of Bristol, tumultuous assemblages of people have taken place, and outrages •of the most violent description have been committed both upon the persons and property of divers of our subjects ; and whereas all the restraints of law and order have been overborne and trodden under foot by such lawless multitudes, the man-dons of individuals violently entered, pillaged, and set on fire, the ordinary course of justice forcibly in terrupted, the gaols for the confinement of criminals broken into and destroyed, and malefactors and persons charge.' with offences let loose upon the public, to the great di-turbance and danger of the common weal, and the sub . ' version of est +Wished Government : And whereas the well fare and happiness of all nations do, tinder Divine Provi chiefly depend upon the observance and enforcement of the I tw. And whereas it is our firm :determination faithfully to discharge the duty imposed on us, to pre serve the public peace, anti Vigorously to exert the, powets which we' possess • for the -protection of a'l our subjects, in the entire enjoyment of their rights and liberties. We, therefore, being resolved to sup press the wieked and flagitious practices aforesaid, have thought fit, by and' with the advice of our Privy Council, to issue this our Royal Proclamation, solemnly warning , all our liege subjects to guard against every attempt to violate the law, and to abstain from every act inconsistent with the peace and good order of society; and we do hereby charge and command all Sheriffs, Justices of the Peace, Chief Magistrates of Cities, Boroughs, and Corporations, and all the Magistrates throughout Great Britain, that they do effectually repress all tumults, riots, outrages, and breaches of the peace within their respective juriad-c -tions ; and that they do make diligent enquiry in order to discover and bring to justice the louvers anti perpetrators of all such seditious an.l wicked acts as aforesaid : and we do further earnestly and solemnly exhort, enjoin, call upon, and command all our liege subjects, of all ranks and con ditions, that they do cotne forward upon the first appear ance or apprehension of any such disturbances as aforesaid, as they are bound by their duty to us, by their regard for the general interest, and by the obligation of the law, anti that they be actively aiding and assisting to all Sheriffs, Justices of the Peace, and other Magistrates, in enforcing the law against evil doers, and in pro tecting their fellow-subjects in the enjoyment of their property anti the exercise of their rights, against all forcible, illegal, and unconstitutional interference, con trol'', or aggression.

His MAJESTY, attended by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, arrived at his Palace, at St. James's,. about half-past one o'clock yesterday afternoon, from the Pavilion at Brighton. At three o'clock the KING held a Court, which was at tended by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Secretaries of State for the Home, Foreign, and Colonial Departments, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the President of the Board of Controul, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Secretary of State for Ireland, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Duke of RICHMOND, and the Lord Steward. His MAJESTY held a Privy Council, when a proclaim tion was ordered to be issued offering a reward of 1,000/. for the apprehension of any of the iingleaders concerned in the disturbances at Bristol, Nottingham, &c. A form of prayer was approved of relating to the cholera morbus. The Hon. WILLIAM BATHURST attended as clerk of the Council. His MAJEsnr gave audiences to the Archbishop of CANTERBURY,EarI CREY,ViCOnnt MELBOURNE, Viscount PALMERSTON, Marquis WELLESLEY, and Sir JAMES GitAizAm. Lord BYRON was the Lord in Waiting. The KING 1.-{t town at ten minutes past five o'clock on his return to Brighton. • After attending the King's Court the Cabinet Ministers adjourned to the residence of Earl GREY in Downing street, and held a Cabinet Council. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was in attendance on the Ministers. His Highness Prince FREDERICK of Wurtemberg, at tended by Count LIPPE, arrived at the Clarendon yester day, from Poi tsmouth. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 2. LIABILITY OF INNKEEPERS, &e. KENT V. SCHUKARM Mr. ANDREWS moved for a rn!e to show cause why the verdict in this case should not he set aside, and a new trial had. It was an action brought against Mr. Schukard, who has kept the Old Ship at Brighton many years, to recover money lost in a lady's reticule. The cause was tried at Lewes before Mr. Justice Gizelee, and a verdict found for the plaintiff. It appeared in evidence that the wife of the plaintiff, accompanied by a female attendant, took a sitting-room and a bed-chamber in the house of the de fendant. They went out for a walk, and Mrs. Kent on her return, threw her reticule, containing Bank-notes, upon the bed in the chamber. She soon after heard the footstep of Mr. Kent, and left the bed room to meet him. Returning again for the reticule, she:found it was gone. It was proved that she had the reticule with Bank-notes, when she came to the defendant's house, and the Jury gave a verdict for 501. It was contended that the innkeeper could not be liable in such a case, inasmuch as the money was never submitted to his care. It was said to be as much under Mrs. Kent's care, as if it had been in her own house, an l Mr. Andrews contended that it would be the hardest case in the world, to .make the defendant respon slble. No notice had been given that the money required his care. Lord TENTERDEN-You will not find in any one case that it was necessary to give notice. Suppose a lady had run into her bed-chamber, taken her purse out of her pocket, left it on the table, and it had been stolen, would not the innkeeper have ken liable? Mr. ANDREWS then adverted to the summing up of Mr. Justice Gdz lee. That leatned Judge said no possible blame could attach to the defendant, but the question was whether this money had been stolen out of the inn ? It the Jury should decide that it had been stolen, the de- fendant would be liabie. The Learned Counsel sub mittel that the qaestion the Learned Judge should have put, was wbAtier the money was in the rare of the defen dant or Mrs. Kent? In the case where a persota had a key given hint to lock his door, the landlord could not be liable. Mr. Justice PARK E—There the person is not used at the inn as a guest. Mr. ANDREWS—If this verdict can stand, it will lead to much mischief. The innkeeper cannot possibly prevent such a has. Lord TENTERDEN —The object the law has in view is, that the intikeeper shall know who he has in his house. I think, however, in the present state of society it is not easy to know many of those who arrive at inns. Mr. ANDREWS—It is impossible. Lord TENTERDEN—In many cases he cannot p oss ibl y have any knowledge of the goods they have with them, but he is liable for all goods in his house. Mr. ANDaEws—But if a person takes money to his roam in an inn, without letting an innkeeper know, there can be no responsibility. Lord TENTERDEN—Suppose there is money in a trunk, and that trunk is stolen, the innkeeper would be answerable. _ . Mr. Aivris.Ews—ln this case the lady lost money. Now, there is no ease in which an innkeeper is liable for the loss of money. All the cases relate to goods which travellers carried with them. If the defendant is liable for the loss of this sum, he may he liable for any suin. The innkeeper never can know what. he is shout. He should know the duty he has to discharge. How can an innkeeper, in such a case, exercise any discretion? I have looked through cases but find none like thiti—it is new. An innkeeper is placed in a situation of difficulty. There may be instances in which innkeepers, by stratagem, will be cmstantly de- frauded. Ido riot say that this is the case with respect to the plaintiff, but I submit this verdict should not stand. Lord TENTERDE2I —I think there have been many cases in which money and goods have been recovered from corn- LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1831. mon Carriers. if any accident, however inevitable, happen, , hrough the intervention of human means, a carrier be. comes responsible. The fact of this case heirg new does not make any distinction. This case falls into the general principle, and if we were to make an alteration, it would establish a precedent injurious to the interests of society. The principle of the common law is, that innkeepers shall he answerable for the goods of their guests, in order that they may take care who they receive into their houses, and prevent collusion. In the case of innkeepers and com mon carriers, the responsibility is the same. A lady at an inn takes a valuable shawl from her shoulders—she leaves it, and on her return the shawl is stolen—Can it be void. she shall not recover the value ? That case is .not distinguishable from the lnss of any other article usually lost. It is right that the innkeeper should be responsible to prevent frauds. I think the verdict should stand. Mr. Justice PARE was of the same opinion. He had never beard any distinction made between money and goods. The principle must be the same. Judges FAUNTON and PATTESON were of the same opi nion.—Rule refused. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. On:Tuesday a fashionably dressed fellow, who for many years has been known to the police as an ac 'ice member of the " swell mob," and who gave he name of William Murray, was charge() with having robbed a gentleman of his watch on Monday, 'he 3d ult., near the London Tavern, Gracechurch street: Thomas. Took deposed that be was by trade a shoemaker, and resided in Hatfield -street, S'. Luke's. On :Monday, the 3d of October, he was standing it. Gracechur•ch-street, opposite the L3ndmi Tavern, and saw Mr. Nicholas, now present, surrounded by a gang of five or six men, who held his arms Ma the prisoner drew the watch from his fob, and, putting it into his coat-pocket, walked to the other side,of the street. Witness followed the prisoner, and, seizing him by the collar, put his hand into hiS pocket and drew nut the watch. He then gave the prisoner in charge to a beadle named Shepherd, to whom he also gave the watch, and in a minute of two after he saw the prisoner rescued from the custody of the beadle by the men whom he had previously observ.ll hustl'ng Mr. Nicholas. Witness saw no more of the prisoner until Monday last, when In recognised him in the crowd which on that day wa• assembled in Lincoln's Inn-fields, and gave him into the custody of a policeman. The witness here identified the watch produced by Mr. Nicholas as the same which he took from the prisoner's pocket on the day already mentioned. Shepherd, the beadle, corroborated the evidence . ol Took, and added that he retained possession of the watch until about a week ago, when the Lord Mayor directed that it should be delivered up to Mr. Neholas, that gentleman having claimed' it at the Man sion-house. The persecutor, Mr. Joseph Nicholas, an elderly gentleman, stated that he was a merchant, and that his counting-house was at No. 5, Church court, Church-lane, Lombard-street. On the stay mentioned by the witnesses he was standing in Graceehurch-street, looking at a placard re ' lating to the contest for the office of Lord Mayor. when he was suddenly hustled in the manner de scribed, and robbed of his watch in an instant. S' skilfully was the robbery effected, that he was no aware of his loss until some person told him of it, nor was he aware for some weeks after that the watch had been recovered. Mr. Nicholas adder!, that he had already been put to considerable trouble and same expense, and expressed his reluctance to appear as prosecutor. Mr. HALLS remarked, that as Mr. Nicholas had recovered his property, the least he could do was t, perform his duty to the public, by prosecuting one of the most notorious street robbers in the metropolis. Mr. Nicholas observed, that he might have beet. spared all trouble had the match been delivered to him at the time of the robbery. In his opinion, th, whole affair %yds a tuick from beginning to end, and he could not see why he should be put to any fur ther inconvenience. Mr. HALLS directed that the beadle should take possession of the watch to produce at the trial, and directed that the evidence of another witness should he taken in order to make the case complete against the prisoner,—a precaution which appeared neces sary, owing to the reluctance expressed by Mr. Ni cholas to prosecute. The prisoner on being asked if he bad any thing to say, denied all knowledge of the robbery. He persisted in saying that his name was William Mur ray, but admitted that he was sometimes called Wil liam Moody, but the latter, he said, was a sort of nick-name. He was then fully committed for trial, and Mr. Nicholas and the other witnesses were bound over to prosecute. The prisoner was dressed in the most fashionable style, arid exhibited a black wig which appeared to have just come from the hands of the friseur. He has long been known as a desperate thief, and on one occasion he nearly killed one of the officers of Worship-street who held a warrant for his appre hension. THE ARMY. (From the Liotcrich Chionicle of Saturday ) An order has been received for the Royal Artillery, Cirbineers. 27th Regiment, and 68th Likht Infantry. in this garrison, to move into the country twice a week in full marching order, for exercise. In accordance with this order, a►l the troops marched out yesterday under Co lonel Worsley, of the Royal Artillery. The martial spectacle elicited very general admiration, and the appear ance of the troops was remarkably tine.. The 68th turned out in prime condition ; the dress and appointments of this handsome corps looked extremely well, while the effect was greatly enchanted by the active and youthful bearing' of the solditry. The 27th, an old crack regiment, did not muster so strong as the 68th, having given the out detach ments, but the memory of former deeds raised a strong feeling for the gallant corps. The troops remained out for at least three hours at exercise. The Artillery, from the Lower Shannon, a-rived here Yesterday, having been relieve d by detachm e nt s o f t h e 32d Regiment, and 92d Highlanders. Yesterday a party of the sth Regiment, um!, r Lieut. Foote, arrived here with a supply of ammunition from Cork, and returned this day. Monday next, a General Court-martial will assemble at Templemore, for the trial of Lieut. Pococke and En•ign Thompson, of the 7 till Regiment—Col. Evans, C.B. 70th Regiment is to be President, and the members are as fol low :—Lieut. Colonel Jackson, Carbineers, Major Geddes, 27th, Major North, 68th, Captain Lemoine, Royal Ar tillery, twi Captains and one Lieut. rant, 27th, three Captains and one Lieutenant, 68th, one Lieutenant of 70th, and two Captains of the 97th depot. David Walker, Esq., Deputy Judge Advocate General. On Tuesday Major-Gen. Sir G. Bingham, K.C.8., made his half yearly inspection of the 77th Reserve Com panies in Waterford. The following contains an accurate detail of the em barkation that will take place at the Cove of Cork, with the destination of the troops and the transports engaged for the service. We understand that the ships may be looked for in that harbour speedily after the first favour able change of wind : —Leonidas, to embark two com panies of artillery at Dublin,' and to call at Cork fur drafts for the West Indies ; Maitland and Roslyn Castle to em bark the 56th Regiment for the West Indies ; William Harris, to embark troops for Gibraltar ; Marshal Bennett, to embark a draft of the 86th Regiment at Jersey, and to call at Cork to complete her complement for the West Indies : Lord Wellington and Recovery, with the69th, for the West Indies. Wednesday, detachments of the 10th and 12th Regi ments of Foot, with a portion of the 23d, and the 60th, Rifles, embarked on board the Innisfall steamer, at Cork, for Dublin, under command of Captain Jones, 69th, in order to return to their respective depots. The officers who accompanied the detachments to Cork remain to pro ceed to Gibraltar and the Mediterranean. The 91st are ordered to Weedon barracks from Ports mouth—the 14th from the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth— the Ist Royals, just arrived from India, are stationed at Chatham. The sth Regiment leave Buttevant on the 10th of No• vember for Gibraltar. There are eight Lieutenants in the army at present of twenty-three years' standing each, in the same rank, inde pendent of their services as ensigns ! The good folks of Galway complain that the delightful band of the 9th Regiment dues not play for the amusement of the town, once a week, as the music of other regiments used. This is rather singular, as the band of the 9th played alternately in this city, with other regipental bands, for the gratification of the public. MONTHLY MILITARY OBITUARY. General Hon. Chas.

THE PITMEN AND THE COAL-OWNERS.— Frotn the present aspect of affairs we consider it by no means improbable that we shall shortly have to announce that the colliers have made another " stick." We form this opinion not only from a knowledge of the state of dependence in which the coal-owners have existed is ith reference to their workmen for some time past, but from the symptoms of a spirit of discontent which has already been manifested. On Wednesday night last, for instance, the pitmen at Jarrow colliery absolutely refused to go to work unless the tokens, as they are called, were removed from the corves, or, in other words, till the marks were removed from the baskets of coals sent up to bank, in order that it might in future be impossible to distinguish one man's basket from another's, so that in fact this de mand was tantamount to a request to have all fines for sending up foul or deficient coals taken off. The men remained off work till the Thursday night, when they returned to their employment, on the understanding that a deputation from the pitmen should confer with the owners on the point in question. The pitmen at Percy Main colliery were also off work for a day or half a day, in consequence of a dispute between the masters and men as to a corve of coals which was objected to by the Owners. At Iletton, too, the pitmen have threatened to " stick," in consequence of sonic new men having been introduced into the colliery, and some of them have ac tually absconded.— Tyne Mercury. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Edward Cook, Eliza Cook, alias Ross, and Edward Cook, their son, who have been in cus tody since last Friday, on suspicion of haimig " Braked" Elizabeth Walsh, a female of 84 years of ilge, were brought up to Lambeth-street Police office, for further examination. Since their commit ment the prisoners have been kept apart, and no communication ellosved to pass between them. The boy, who is about 12 years of age, since Friday, had made such disclosures to his fellow-prisoners at the House of Correction, as left no doubt of the guilt of his parents of the horrible offence alleged against them ; but his statement, which Nets committed to writing, and which was handed to the magistrates, was unconnected and unsatisfactory. While in one of the strong rooms belonging to the officeyesterday, Lea, the officer who had apprehended the prisoners, sent for the master and mistress of Aldgate parochial school, at which the boy was in the habit of attend ing for two or three years past, arid left them with him for some time, when he disclosed to them the outline of the appalling statement of the occurrence which he subsequently made on oath before the ma gistrates in the presence of his parents. At three o'clock Cook, anti the female Ross, who had always passed as his wife, were placed at the bar, before the Hon. G. C. NORTON and J. HARD wicKE, Esq., and their astonishment on perceiving that their own child was about to be admitted as a witness against them was quite apparent. The Magistrates asked the boy if he was quite willing to make a full disclosure of what he knew as to the disappearance of the old lady, Elizabeth Walsh, and he having answered in the affirmative, h e was sworn, and made the following statement, which was taken down by Mr. Osman, the chief clerk lie recollected the old woman Elizabeth Walsh coming to his father and mother, at No. 7, Goodman's-yard, Minories, about ten o'clock on a Friday morning (Friday the 19th of August la , t), and bringing some bread in a basket, a part of which she gave to him for his breakfa-t. She went away shortly afterwards arid returned about tea-time in the evening, when she as well as his mother and himself had some coffee. His father was not present at the time, though he was when she came in the morning. They had coffee about half-past nine o'clock on the same night for supper. He (wit• ness) took part of it, and it made him sleepy, but not sick. The old woman also took some of it and it seemed to make her drowsy, as she shortly afterwards stretched herself on his father and mother's bed, and placed her hand under her head. She did not at the rime complain peared in good h ea l t h. S ome t i me a f ter h e saw hi s of illness, on the contrary she ap mother go towards the bed, and place her right hand over the mouth of the old woman, and her left on her body. (The boy here burst into tears and said he was sorry to be obliged to state such things against his own mother.) When his mother placed her hand on the old 'atly's mouth, her arm fell down, and she laid flat on her ,lack on the bed. And his mother continued to keep one hand on her mouth, and the other on her person for at least half an hour. The old woman did not struggle much, but her eyes stared and rolled very much. Ite, (witness) stood by the fire at the line, and his father, who was in the room at the ime, stood looking out at the window. His father ..tool so all the time, and he was sure he never nice turned round to see what was going forward, ,nd that he had nothing to do with it. In about PRICE 7D. in hour afterwards, his mother rase I the body of •he old woman from the bed, an l carried it down -tairs, hut where he did not know. The body was not undressed at the time. He and his father went to bed sometime afterwards, and he could not say what time his mother returned, as he had not seen her again on that night after she left the room with the body in her arms, nor did he see where she had aken it to. On the fallowing mottling he got up shout seven o'clock. His father and mother were then up, and in the room. He had occasion, previ ous to his going to schoOl at eight o'clock, to go 'eta the cellar to the privy, and while searching !trough the cellar he saw the body of the old woman in a sack which was placed underneath the •tairs, a portion of the head was out of the sack, and the body appeared to be partly bent, and -eclining against the stairs. There was sufficien light in the cellar for, him to discern the colour rf the hair on the head. It was part'y grey and black ; but he could not say. whether or not tin body was dressed or otherwise. The. sack , shich it was in was one belonging to a person named Jones, with whom his farther worked. H had frequently seen it in their room, and he though it was there on the night before. He went to school shortly afterwards, and never mentioned a word th n or since about what had occurred, or hi seeing the body in the cellar. On returning home at twelve o'clock in the day, he found his Gale, heating his mother. He thought the cause to b. that the latter h.rd been out drinking with a young woman, the grand-daughter of the old lady who had ealled to inquire after her. His mother, he believed, while his father was beating her, c riled him a vil lainous murderer, but he had no recollection of her threatening to give any information of him. He (witness), after getting his dinner, went out to and did not come home until late. Himself, his father, and mother, supped together on the Sa turday night, and about ten o'clock his mother lef the room, and.in about half an hour afterwards he was standing at the window, and saw her go past with the body in the sack on her shoulder. It stis.- , n the same state in which he saw it on that morn ing, except that the mouth of the sack was tied : he body appeared to be partly bent.—(The female prisoner, in an audible voice, here exclaimed— " Good God! how could I have borne a son to hang me ?") The !ad again burst into tears, and said he could not help it ; that he was telling an truth. He then proceeded with his statement. H did not know at what time his mother had returned in Saturday night, as he and his father, who re mained in the room, went to bed, and he was asleep when she came in. On the Sunday morning hi,. mother told him that she had taken the body to thi London Hospital. The boy here, as in many parts of Iris statement, said his father bad nothing whatever ,o do in the business. The magis!rates examined him very minutelyas to what had taken place on the Fr:day night, and vt hat conversation, if any, had taken plaer between his father, mother,or himself, previous to ant! after the horrid deed had been perpetrated. He said that no words or quarrel had taken place; the old woman and his father and mother, were on good terms, and nothing particular had occurred during the eyeeing, until his mother placed her hand, as he before described, on the mouth of the old lady ; nor did she say a word to hint or his father while she so held her hand on her mouth. He recol lected she had been saying something to herself about taking the body to an hospital. He did not see his father lay a gingle hand on the old woman The magistrates expressed some surprise that the prisoner should for a whole day leave the body in the cellar of the house, which was accessible to all the inmates; but this was satisfactorily explained by the landlady, who said, that in consequence of its being so dark, and so infested with rats, the lodgers very seldom indeed entered it. This wit ness also deposed to have seen the old woman Walsh enter the house on the Friday, and go up to the apartment occupied by the prisoners. This was the last time she was seen alive. Other witne-ses deposed to the old woman tak ing her bed and bedding to the prisoners' room, and to the prisoners having solicited her to go to lodge with them for a length of time before she wen•. It being now very late, and there being several witnesses to be examined, some of whom were no• present, the magistrates remanded the prisoners to this day. Previous to their being taken from the bar, they were asked if they had any thing to state. The male prisoner declined saying any thing at pre sent ; but the female with the most solemn impre cations declared her innocence, and said that the whole of the statement of her son was from begin ning to end a lie. She added, that on the morning of Saturday she had left the old lady and her hus band (the other prisoner) after breakfast smoking their pipes at the fire when she went out, and from that time until the present she had not heard of her. They were then taken from the bar, and the magis trates gave directions that they should be kept se parate as before. It is said that the Lisbon mail, the letters by which were delivered on Tuesday, has brought the in. tignia of a Portugto se Order, and an autograph letter from Don AIIGuEL, as a mark of respect to the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, for the part which his Lordship took in the recent delortcs in the House of Lords on the affairs of Portugal. TIVERTON.—We are glad to learn that tran quillity has been resumed in this town, and that an arrange ment has been entered into between Mr. ITICATHCOTE and the work men, who returned to their work on Friday. S veral persons who took part in the rioteus proceedings have been committed to gaol, some of whom do not appear to have been at all connected with the factory. HUNT TURNED AUTHOR.—A correspondent has sent us a publication entitled 6 ` An Address to the Radical Reformers on the Measures of the Whig Ministers, by HENRY HUNT, M.P." and—what? ' 6 Blocking Maher 2" No, God help us ! "Esquire." We under stand that this precious piece of ta umpery has been pub lished at the expense of the Tories, and thus it happens that it is distributed to all who will take it, for just as much as it is worth, and no more—that is, for nothing. The Tories have become so enamoured of rubbish and radi c diem, that they have actually published Huisia's lucubra tions gratis. We cannot help thinking (and we have no doubt Orator Black-ball is of the same opinion) that they would have given a much more substantial proof of their pro'essed friendship for their new ally, if they had laid out their money upon his blacking. But of course they care not a straw about the blacking or the blacking man. Their very grooms would scorn to black their boots with the one, and, as for the other, they know well enough that there is no making a silk purse out o f a sow ' s ear. Their object is plain and obvious. They ar e s t r i v i ng to rouse the dregs of the community into opposition to that industrious and respectable class .t to wh om i t i s pro poed to extend the electivefranchise by th e R e f orm Bill : and ti ey seem to have cons idered that HUNT would make a capital cat's-paw for them in the performance of this dirty work. Hence the Address to the Radicals, which, to use one of the elegant expressions of its author, " goes for to try to succeed in deluding of the people." The m pe ,t opl yi e n , however, f a s re ca n c o n t gr s a o pi e i a ;_ sily deluded. theym.. The sp t e ie nd T t o h r e ie ii s money in disseminating his nonsensical trash gratis, and they may club their ingenuity to his malice and impudence for the concoction of lies ; but they might as well expect that the p eo pl e w ill b e li eve the puffs in the labels on their friend's blacking-bottles, as that they will give credit to this slip-slop tissue of folly, and falsehood, anti abuse. As, however, the foolery is distributed gratis, and as it has the additional advantage of being printed on soft paper, we have no doubt it will have a very extensive circula tion,— Times. ASSESSED 'TAXES; If it were necessary to addtrti,-, ny : ever facts than those that have -- b r eett.,,giVeii' show the paramount necessity, of Reform, the: exceedingly improper mode in which the duty on houses, being a part of the Assessed Taxes, is assessed and collected, "presents a stron g one. We last week maintained that übsti rteugtiunigatrinagtintghse i f n rai t i l c 'e his p e oo u r nd b e a r o t k h s e f l o ie r w re lt nt e a fo l, ri a n Bill, was not unworthy consideration, conclud s that some degree of affinity subsisted -betwee l the two ; we are, however, greatly surprised on finding, that if that principle be adopted, New, port, in the Isle of Wight, would not furnish lhote 130 voters, and even Brighton would be reduced to a very confined constituency. A correspondent at Newport asserts he pays an actual rent of 501., but that he is rated in the 000 r book at 121., and pays house duty for 201, only ; whilst at Brighton another correspondent avows he pays a rent of 901., and is for the Assessed Taxes charged only at the rate of 201., and in the poor book at the extraordinary low sum of 91. We cannot understand upon what principle the inhabitants of Newport and Brighton should be thus favoured, compared with the people of Portsmouth, in which town the house duty is levied on very nearly the rack rent, unless it be that the close Corporatitin of New port has always been represented by Ministerial, while that of Portsmouth has invariably returned Opposition Members. It will be at once seen , what an injustice has thus been . practised upon this town. We have been paying double the • amount paid in other places ; and if equal justice had been administered, either this tax might have been reduced, or some other impost removed. In making these observations we do not 113e7111 to reflect on the assessor for Portsmouth, for on looking at his instructions, we find he is ordered to charge all houses at the « full and just yearly rent at which the same is really worth to be let." —Hampshire Telegraph. POUR ASYLUMS. (Fiom the Morxing Herald.) Our readers are probably aware that certain inhabitants of St. George's in the East, aided by certain Lambeth-street Police Magistrates, are attempting to shut up those receptacles of misery and wretchedness provided by those excellent individuals composing the Society for the Relief of the Houseless Poor. The pretence for pro ceeding against these asylums is that they have a tendency to generate contagious diseases. Now one would think that the gising food and shelter to the poor must have the opposite effect. To enable our readers, however, to form a judgment of the merits of this Society we will lay before them a short history of its proceedings It WAS established in 1819, and the subscriptions made to it by the charitable from its commencement amount to 18,3091. It is managed by a Com mittee of 48 persons, of whom 10 belong to the Eastern or Wapping Asylum. The labours of the Committee are very severe, acting, as they in the most inclement season of the year ; but they are altogether partisans. The Wap_ ping Asylum receives none but seafaring men, or men connected with water occupations. It is open only during a particular period of the year, hen the employment of such men is either alto gether or partially interrupted by the laying-up of ships, or by ice in the river. The Society has, in the twelve seasons of its labours, afforded lodging, food, fire, and medical attendance to the following extent—namely, 274,335 lodg ings, and 668,960 rations. During the last season it only afforded 53,625 lodgings, and 135,043 rations, in 100 nights. Out of the many thousands relieved at Wapping only one died of fever, although an epidemic fever was raging last winter in the neighbourhood. Dur ing this epidemic part of the asylum was con verted into an hospital, for the purpose of afford ing more effectual medical superintendence, and to prevent the sick from creating alarm or spread• ing the disease. At the time the epidemic was in existence the asylum was visited by Dr. Con quest, Dr. Roupel, Mr. \Vithington, and several other medical gentlemen, all of whom highly approved of the arrangements, and the medical treatment of Mr. Bowie, the Society's surgeon, and gave it as their decided opinion that the Society, by their operations, had prevented the spreading of the disease. In 1822 a donation from the funds of this charity of 100/. was made to the London Hospital, and in 1827 a further sum of 25/. was given. In 1819 it appropriated no less a sum than 1,000/. to relieving the poor and indigent at their own habitations. Yet this Society, which has been productive of so much good—which has, probably, saved the lives of hundreds, who would have died of want in the streets, and which has prevented the spreading of contagious diseases, is to be put down—be cause some wiseacres have taken it into their heads that it i s calculated to generate sickness. SPEED OF THE HORSE. Common report says that. Flying Childers could run a mile in a minute, but there is no authentic record of this. He ran over the Round Course of Newmarket (three miles, six furlongs, and 93 yards) in six minutes and 40 seconds ; and the Beacon Course (four miles, one furlong, and 138 yards), in seven minutes and 30 seconds. In 1772 a mile was ran by Firetail in one minute and four seconds. In October, 1741, at the Curragh Meeting in Ire land, Mr. Wilde engaged to ride 127 miles in nine hours. He performed it in six hours and 21 minutes. He employed ten horses, and al lowing for mounting and dismounting, and a mo ment for refreshment, he rude for six hours at the rate of 20 miles an hour. Mr. Thornhill, in 1745, exceeded this, for he rode from Stilton to London and back, and again to Stilton, being 213 miles, in 11 hours and 34 minutes, which is, after allowing the least possible time for changing horses, 20 miles an hour for 11 hours, and on the turnpike road and uneven ground. Mr. Shaftoe, in 1762; with en horses, and five of them ridden twice, accom plished fifty miles and a quarter in one hour and :bay-nine minutes. In 1763 Mr. Shaftoe wort ,t more extraordinary match. He was to pro cure a person to ride one hundred miles a day, any one horse each day, for twenty-nine days together, and to have any number of horses not exceeding twenty-nine. He accomplished it on tburteen horses; and one day he rode 160 miles on account of the tiring of his first horse. Mr. Hull's Quibbler, however, afforded the most extraordinary instance on record of The stoutness is well as speed of the race-horse. In December, 1786, he ran twenty-three miles, round the flat it Newmarket, in fifty-seven minutes and ten econds.
