THE WIDOW of the late Rev. WM. CREASY DREW, A. 8., Rector of Sandrington with Babingley, and Curate of North Ruucton, Norfolk, has, by the awful visitation of Providence. which suddenly bereaved her of her husband, been left without the means of decent support for their Family of ten Children. She brought to her husband a fortune, which, with the addition of his Clerical Emoluments, was for a while compe tent to all their wants and wishes. But a series of misfortunes gradually impaired their resources. Mr. Drew's aged parents fell into pecuniary difficulties, from which he relieved them by a considerable sacrifice; and during their last years they were en- tirely supported by his hand. His wife's portion consisted partly of property in shipping, all of which was ultimately lost ; and part was so circumstanced as to involve him in the payment of debts which did not really belong to him. Other branches of the family drew upon the facility of his disposition for supplies which he could ill afford. He had become a party to a bond for a considerable sum, as the marriage-portion of a sister, which, it was calculated, would be her fair proportion Qf their father's property at his decease. The father died insolvent ; and the bond was, after a partial remission, discharged by the sun. By an almost unprecedented devotion of themselves to the entire education of their children, Mr. and Mrs. Drew had avoided great expence : still, the above-mentioned cur tailments, and-the exigencies of an almost yearly increasing family, pressed hard upon them. In the year 1824, he resolved to meet the pressure by receiving private pupils. Providence favoured his under taking beyond his hopes. He was appointed to hold a small living, for a term of years, for the very first young man placed under his care. The prospects of the family now brightened. There was even a hope that continued exertion might restore them to the en joyment of an independent competency. In the discharge of his duty on Easter Sunday last, Mr. Drew caught a severe cold—au alarming fever ensued—he survived the immediate attack ; but his constitution was fatally injured; and the sudden rupture of a blood.vessel, on the 27th of November, in a moment terminated his existence. No relative of either parent remains from whom the family can derive the smallest consolation or relief. The following Gentlemen—viz., . Daniel Gurney, Esq., and Charles Goodwin, Esq., of North Runeton ; the Very Rev. Dean Wood, of Middleton ; the Rev. W. J. Brodrick, of Castle Rising ; the Rev. R. Ilankinson, of West Bilney Loi!ge ; the Rev. R. Ilan kinson, jun,, of Walpole; Frederick Lane, Esq., of King's Lynn ; and the Rev. E. Swatman, of Little Fransham—deeply impressed with the distressed situation of the family, propose to raise a Fund for its Relief by Subscription, and to vest the management of it in Trustees, to be hereafter appointed out of their number.

Cheapside, London, Dec. 26, 1826. VINTRY WARD. The election for an Alderman was yesterday resumed, and the respective Candidates and their friends strained every nerve to gain a majority : it was, in feet, neck-and-neck work, the num bers being nearly equal, but eventually the party on the side of Mr. Sheriff Winchester succeeded. The contest was so strenuous that even the. parish Beadle was brought in to poll, and the prin cipal part of the voters on both sides were brought up by main force, actually dragged to the poll-hook by two individuals seizing them by either arm. The poll opened at ten, and closed at four ; ' and Cutlers' Hall was crowded ; it was with great difficulty that a passage could be made for the voters to get to the poll-book, and it is asserted that many votes on both sides have been whnitted that will be struck out on the scrutiny, which it is said will in evitably take place. The Ward has been completely dragged, and it is supposed that there is not another voter unpolled. At the close the numbers were— Mr. Winchester 49 Mr. Wilde 46 Majority The announcement of the poll was received with great applause by the friends of Mr. Sheriff Winchester, and with loud hissings by the friends of Mr. Wilde. Mr. Sheriff WINCHESTER very briefly returned thanks for the support he had received, and stated that the poll to-day fully sup ported what he asserted yesterday. Mr. WILDE addressed the Wardmote for a considerable time, in a very discontented sort of tone, and assured the Wardmote that to-morrow he should be in a different situation on the poll— (Where will you find the voters? cried a voice from the crowd, which question appeared rather to puzzle Mr. Wilde, and there 'was complete confusion, hissing and applauding, laughing and roaring.) The Hon. Gentleman was here entering into a string of abuse against those who voted on the other side, but the inha bitant. began to get tired of this would-be second Cicero, and he I returned thanks, and sat down. The Wardmote was then adjourned until ten o'clock to-morrow :this day),and is to close at four. - - - LONDON CARRIER COMPANY. The gentlemen forming the London Carrier Company had Meeting yesterday at their Office, in Great Queen-street, for the purpose of terminating its existence, and a series of resolutions to that effect were accordingly entered into. It was therefore decided that the Associatiou, as a Company, should cease after Friday next. The public are much interested in this matter, for there are few who have not experienced the annoyances to which they are exposed, in receiving parcels from coach-offices, or other channels. There are, therefore, few who will not regret the failure of a Company which promised fairly to relieve them from these disadvantages. We feel ourselves bound to state, that the Company has terminated its labours without the slightest imputation upon its conduct. ANGLO-MEXICAN MINING ASSOCIATION.

A complaint was made, regarding a person in Leadeahall-mar ket, keeping a ferocious dog, which was net only mad itself, but bad bitten several others in the market. Sir John recommended the complainant to go to the Lord Mayor, and get his Lordship's au thority to tell the people in the market who had dogs that bad been bitten by this dog, to destroy them immediately. Sir Joha added, that the command would come with much greater effect from the Lord Mayor than trom him. A very fashionable attired female, who called herself Mrs. Pratt, was brought up in custody of an Officer, to whose care she had been confided, for disturbing the peace of the house of a Mr. Leader, a glass cutter, at 15, Coleman-street. , Mr'. Leader deposed that this female was always insulting him, by coming to his premises and demanding to see a Mr. Wagstaff, who is a Turkey merchant, and occupies offices in the complain ant's house, and has done so for thirty years. This day she came, and upon being told that Mr. Wagstaff was not in the way, she created a disturbance that caused a mob to assemble, and be was compelled to give her into custody. He had no wish to det6in her, but he was anxious to maintain his own peace. Sir Joni; PERRI:iO asked what business the woman had there, or if she was at all known ? The complainant said he believed that Mr. Wagstaff had kept her. - The poor woman declared that she had been long in the keep ing of Mr. Wagstaff;bnt 'that he had now deserted her without allowing her a maintenance, and shewent to his cohnting-house -in order to seek for redress ; but he was denied to her, and she declared that she would continue to go there until she obtained redress. Mr. Leader admitted that she had been there many times before, and created a disturbance, and he wished his Lordship to prevent her future interruptions. Sir JOHN PEILIUNG said that if the Lady would say that she would not annoy Mr. Leader again, he would set her at liberty. Mrs. Pratt at length consented to this, and was discharged.

Mr. RAWLINSON-And do you give your full consent to the child's being bound apprentice to a chimney sweep? Father—Oh, yea, your Worship, I wish it. Mr. ItAwuNsox—You are aware, I suppose. that you are about to bind it to a trade of slavish misery. Father--Why, I think he will do very well; he will have a good home, and be well fed. Brown exclaimed—Why, I took the boy out of *hazily; he was perishing in the street, without a home to go to, and about twelve months ago I took him, and have had him ever sinott. Mr. RAWLINSOI4 asked the father whether be lived with Lis wife? Father—Oh no, not for the last two years. 111 r. ItswMicsoN—And how much are you to get for this child upon his being apprenticed ? Father—Nothing at all. Mr..ltewriNso;. then asked the little fellow if he wished to be a sweep ?—The hoy replied with much simplicity, that "ho did not care about it, but his father wished him to be one. Mr. RAWLINSON—DU you ever go to church? Boy—No. Mr. RAWLINSON—Do you know your prayers? Boy—No, I never says prayers. I don't know them. He said he had been frequently sent up chimneys. Beiug observed to walk lame, his feet were found to be quite sore, end blistered, which it turned out he had received through the exercise of his trade.

Mr. ItAwr.iNsoN reftised to hind the child, unless Mr. Brown could bring hint to the office with a knowledge of the Creed and the Lord's Prayer. UNION-HALL.—Yesterday dman named Datiis was brought before the sitting ma g istrate, M. Swabey, Esq., on a warrant which charged him with having assaulted a Mr. Holding, a mil ler, residing in the Kent-road. The complainant's account of the affair excited much mirth awl laughter in the office. He stated, that on Monday last, as he was proceeding to his mills at Rotherhithe, the defendant, of whom he had no previous knowledge, rudely stopped him in the street, at the same time using some extremely insolent expressions. The complainant, who is a very diminutive man, remonstrated against such conduct, when the defendant, added he, " threw himself into a fighting attitude, and when lie found that I was not disposed to place myself on a level with him, he commenced to threaten me, by declaring that he should duck me in a horse trough Close by. Magistrate.—Come to the assault, Sir, did he put his threat into execution, and duck you in the horse-trough? Complainant.--No, he did not duck me in the horse-trough, but he repeatedly told me to go and hang myself, in the presence of 50 by-standers, some of whom I have brought here to substantiate that which I have asserted. (The complainant here bellowed aloud for some of the persons who had heard the offensive expres sions, to enter the office for the purpose of bearing out his state- ment.) The Magistrate, however, observed that there was no necessity fur their presence, for as yet there was no assault proved against the defendant. The Complainant.—What, Sir, have you not the power of binding down this man to keep the peace for threatening to souse me in the horse-trough? Magistrate.—lndeed I have not, and I should be very sorry to be invested with such a power; if you swear that you go in bodily fear of Mr. Davis, that fact would certainly alter the complexion of the case. Has he prseented a pistol at you, or threatened your life on any occasion ? Complainant.-1 consider his threat of putting me neck end heels into the horse-trough, was tantamount to a threat of de priving me of life ; for had he put it into execution, in all proba bility I should not he here to tell the catastrophe ; the horse-trough, your worship, was broad and deep. The Magistrate—You have dwelt a good deal on the subject of the horse-trough, but really I cannot perceive by your statement that you need he under the slightest apprehension of danger trona the defendant. The Magistrate then asked the defendant what could have induced him to threaten the complainant with a duck ing in the horse-trough ? The defendant, in reply, said, the person who brought the charge of assault against him, which never happened, was the ag gressor ; he (the defendant) never saw him before the day in question, when he grossly insulted him in the public thorough fare, by calling out " Stupid, stupid," after him. When the de fendant asked for au explanation of the offensive term, which was evidently applied to him, Mr. Holding, he said, repeated it in his teeth, and then, and not until then, he (the defendant), in the height of irritation, pointing to a horse-trough, certainly threatened to souse him in it if he persevered in applying such epithets to him. Magistrate—You don't intend to do Mr. Holding any harm? Defendant—None at all, Sir; 1 never contemplated depriving him of life : had he continued his abuse, I can't say but I might have soaked his jacket in the trough. The Magistrate discharged the defendant.

HENRY VIII. AND A NOBLEMAN.—King Henry VIII. designing to send a Nobleman on an embassy to Francis I. at a very dangerous juncture, he begged to be excused, saying, " Such a threatening message to so hot a prince as Francis I. might go near to cost him his life." " Fear not," said old Harry, " if the French King should offer to take away your life, I would revenge you by taking off the heads of many Freedmen now in my power." " But of all these heads," replied the noble man, " there may not be one to fit my shoulders."—Liverpoal Albion. DR. SOUTH.--Dr. South, visiting a gentleman one morning, was asked to stay to dinner, which he accepted of; the gentleman stepped into the next room and told his wife, and de s:red she would provide something extraordinary. Hereupon she began to murmur and scold, and made a thousand word' ; till, at length, her husband, provoked at her behaviour, protested, that, if it was not for the stranger in the next room, he would kick Ler out o f doors.
