A naval officer, named Oliver Smith, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having as saulted a constable for having acted with much kind ness to him. The constable, - on the preceding night, saw the defendant going through the city in a state of intoxi cation, and as he had the appearance of a Irian who might have property about him, the witness thought that he could not go far without being eased of it if allowed to have his own way. A coach was ac cordingly called, and the Captain requested to take a seat home in it ; but, instead of entering, he turned upon the witness, kicked the skin off his shins, bit his finger severely, and was most dangerously " ob stropuloas." The witness, however, with assist ance, contrived to lodge him in the watch-house, where for some time he waged war against the walls of the strong room, with the usual effect. The wit ness was obliged to get both leg and finger plastered. He had, he declared, acted with the greatest civility and kindness all the time. The defendant—All thii may be right true, for ought I know, my Lord Mayor; I believe I did re sent the proposal of the officer to go with me in a coach. The fact is, I had been following the good jolly old practice of keeping up Christmas like a good Christian, and I might have had a little too much on board. The LORD MAYOR—I think the good old custom of getting beastly drunk might be dispensed with ; and it appears to me an odd sort of Christianity to beat the peace-officers.—(A laugh.) The defendant—My Lord, I have served my country in eight distinguished battles, and at Al giers I received a severe wound over the bead, so that when 1 take a drop too much I cut all disci pline. Sailors will be sailors, and, as a sailor, I think I am entitled to a little indulgence. The LORD MAYOR—Magistrates will be Magis trates, and I must refuse you the little indulgence you require of breaking the bones of peace-officers. Distinguished actions abroad form no excuse for those who at home distinguish themselves by kick ing and biting. _ . 'tile defendant—lf a bottle of wine or so will settle the matter with the constable, I will give it him. Mr. Hobler—No, iao, wine will not do. There has been too much wine in this case already. It must be hard cash. The constable said, that in consideration of the defendant's wounds, he was disposed to put up with some of the wounds which in this instance he (the constable) had received, also, in the service of his country, in preserving its peace, which was a service often of as much hazard, but always of much less honour and profit. A Common Councilman, who had seen the defendant after the assault had been committed, recommended him to special care, as he had property about him. The defendant.—Well, well, I will put a salve upon these wounds. I wish to retire and talk with the officer. To this proposition the LORD MAYOR readily as sented, and the most agreeable remedy was immedi ately applied to the peace officer's wounds. PRIVATE TUTOR.

BOW-STREET. Yesterday John Stephenson, landlord of the Three Lances at Hounslow, was brought in custody before Sir R. BIRNIE and Mr. MINSIIULL, charged with having attempted to murder his wife. Jane Stephenson was wife to the prisoner, and had been married to him for the last two years. On Sunday last, about one o'clock, he seized her by the neck and drove her against the wall, and whilst he held her back with his left hand, he made a despe rate stab at her stomach with a carving-knife which he held in his right hand. Most fortunately the point of the knife struck against the steel busk of her stays; and such was the violence of the blow, that the blade snapped short near the handle and bounded against the ceiling. The prisoner, sup posing he had killed her, ran out of the house with the handle of the knife in his hand, and meeting a neighbour, he told him what he had done, adding, " I think I have finished her; go and see." The prisoner then ran towards a pond, and threw the handle of the knife upon the ice, where it was after wards found. The complainant added, that the prisoner was at the time almost mad from the effects of drink; and in answer to questions put to her by the Magistrate, she stated that she had five children by a former husband, and that she had known the prisoner for 20 years, he having been in the habit of stopping at the house during her first husband's life time, when he was employed as a traveller for a commercial house in town. Sir R. BituitE asked the prisoner what he had to say in his defence. The prisoner knew he had done wrong, and was sorry for it. He admitted that he had no reason to be angry with his wife, and said he had had a dispute with some person just before he committed the as sault upon her; added to which, he was not quite himself, having drunk four pints of beer. _ _ Sir R. BIRNIE said, that the assault was of such a desperate description, that the prisoner must re main in custody until he could procure good bail, and he must give 24 hours' notice of the same. The prisoner was then removed in custody. LAMBETH-STREET. A woman applied for a summons to the parish of St. George. She said her husband was in the Guards, and al present stationed in the Tower. He could not support her, and she had made application to the parish, and they refused to relieve her. Mr. WALKER said parishes would be in a pretty state, if every soldier's wife were to come to the parish. He would, however, grant her a summons. An Irishwoman also applied for a summons. She said the parish would give her no relief ; her husband was ill, and she had no means of support. Mr. WALKER was sure that the applicant kept something back, and asked her if she had not re. fused to be passed to Ireland. The applicant admitted that she had refused to be passed. Mr. WALKER would grant her a summons, and have the case investigated. A man and his wife and one child applied for relief from the parish of Mile-end Old-town. The man stated that he had no work, and that his wife expected to be put to bed every day. Mr. WALKER told him he must make application to his own parish of Shoreditch. A man applied for relief from the same parish. Allen, the beadle, said that the parish the appli cant belonged to was Woolwich. He had been bound apprentice, but in rather an irregular manner, from Chiselhurst to Woolwich. The man had a wife, aged twenty-four, and a child at present ill of the small pox. Mr. WALKER did not consider this a cue at all for the interference of the parish, a young man of 25 and a woman of 24 were not fit objects for relief. He thought the better way:would be to give the ap ' plicant some casual relief and make him provide for himself. Allen, the bead* agreed to do We. He said that the distress in the parish in consequence of the severe ►weather was very great. Mr. WALKER said the distress might be great among persons who had large families, but i I such persons as the last applicant were to be taken into the house, it would bring distress upon the parish as well as upon individuals. Yesterday a charge of assault was preferrgd be fore T. WALKER, Esq., by a sleek, greasy eatimg house-keeper, against a thickset, hungry-looking mechanic. " Please your . Vorship," began the complainant, " I sells cook'd wittles, and this ere chap corned on Saturday to my shop, and said, he was werry peckish, and should like summut nice. ' Vot can you have nicer,' sis I, nor a hot savoloir and a baked tator ?' Vell,' sis he, I'll have a hot savoloir with some mutton gravy.' So, as I was a dipping into the pot for von, I seed him prigging a bit of roast weal. Cup,' sis I, ' that's no go,' and I axed him to chop a bob for the weal, vhen he said he had not got a map; more nor twopence to pay for the savo loirs. Then I jumps over the counter, and ketches the weal out of his fist, and claps it back again into the dish. Arterwards I werry gently showed him out of the shop; and, while my back was turned, he fetched me such a nasty kick behind that I went smack into a sarsepan of hot weggetables."— (Laughter.) The defendant, when called upon to explain the aforesaid kick, declared that the defendant. had not only commenced the assault, but had used violent language. " That ere's false," said the complainant, " for I'm always werry portickeler never to give no body not no sauce." The Magistrate, considering the assault proved, fined the defendant Is. and discharged him. M ATTON-GARDEN. The efficiency of the New Police system, in the attainment of the great object for which it has been constructed, the prevention of crime, is evinced in a very striking manner within the district of this office. Comparatively speaking, yesterday was a day of rest for the Magistrates here,—a circumstance which, under the old system, perhaps has never occurred. Watch-houses have been generally filled dining the course of Saturday night wig Sunday with persons, both male and female, charged under every denomi nation of crime, and on the following Monday the police-office has been crammed with them almost to suffocation, the necessary consequence of which was that the prisons too were densely crowded. Pre vious to the re-modelling, in its present state, of the police, we recollect that scarcely a week, or even two nights consecutively, passed that some house in the district was not broken into and plundered, or some respectable individual knocked down in the street and robbed. At present, and ever since September last, either of these circumstances is of rare occur rence indeed. From all the quarters of a very ex tensive district, the police station in Red Lion square, whither all persons charged are brought, did not yesterday morning contain more than half a-dozen individuals, who were locked up merely for being disorderly. MA RLBOROU GH-STREET. Yesterday a young man, named Edward Kelly, who stated himself to be a compositor, was brought before Mr. ROE, the sitting Magistrate, charged by one of the new police constables, with stealing several books from the Cheshire Ch€ese public-house, in Vinegar-yard, during a fire that unfortunately raged there on Saturday night last. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. A powerful-looking young fellow, a native of Ire land, named Fuller, was charged under a warrant with desperately assaulting a Mr. Nangle, one of the assistant-overseers of the parish of St. Giles-in-the- Fields. The Magistrate told the prisoner that he must find good bail to answer the asault at the Sessions. 1 he prisoner was then locked up. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday evening an investigation took place before Mr. BENETT, touching a robbery committed a short time since upon the Imperial Gas Com pany's premises at naggerstone. The counting house was broken open during the night, and pro- perty to the amount of between 3001. and 400/. abstracted from an iron safe, which had been opened with a false key, and was left locked by the robbers. It was apparent from the circumstances that the de predation had been committed by some person or persons well acquainted with the premise:, and seve ral persons have been in custody on suspicion. Several of the directors of the Company, with Mr. Wilde, their solicitor, were present on the part of the prosecution. One of the stolen notes was said to have been paid into a bank in the city; and Mr. Cope, the city marshal, was in attendance with some of his officers, who, as well as the officers of this district, have been engaged in the endeavour to trace the robbery to its source. Thomas Chittenden, who had been in the Com pany's employment as a smith, was first placed at the bac for examination. It appeared that he had been discharged shortly before the robbery, having been detected in convert ing some iron upon the premises to his own use. It was suspected that he had made the false key rrhich opened the safe, and the direction upon an envelope, in which some cheques that had been stolen were afterwards returned, was believed to be his hand writing. Ovenden, the constable, produced a paper upon which the prisoner, while in custody, had been induced to write his name and address; and upon Comparison, the character of that and the writing upon the envelope were found very nearly corres pondent. A man named Hanson, a workman in the Com pany's employ, was examined, .and stated, that one day he went to the smith's shop to get some assist ance from a man who worked there with the pri soner Chittenden. The latter was then alone, and told him the other man was gone out. The pri soner was at work filing up a key, which lie had in the vice, and which the witness believed to be about the size of the key of the safe. When he went into the shop afterwards, the key had been taken out of the vice. Some private discussion now took place between the Magistrate, Mr. Wilde, and Mr. Cope, as to the propriety of admitting the evidence of a young man who was himself suspected of being accessory to the robbery. Henry Tomkins, a respectable-looking middle aged man cue of the foremen of th e company's works at liaggerstone, was then brought up and placed at the bar with Chittenden ; and George Reynolds, the young man just spoken of, being in troduced, Mr. BENETT explained to him the nature of the suspicions against him, and asked him if it was his wish to give evidence; and he said it was. Mr. Wilde then, at the Magistrate a suggestion, gave him an acquittance from all consequences on account of the charge against him; and, thus re leased, he said it was his own desire to tell all that he knew about the matter in question. He was then sworn, and gave evidence to the following effect:—He is by trade a bedstead-maker, but out of work; and on a day which lie could not exactly tell—but it was on a Saturday—he met with the prisoner Tomkins (he did not know the name, but pointed out that prisoner) at a public-house in Shorediteh. The prisoner, after some conversa tion, offered to give him a job, sndsappointed a meeting for Monday evening, betwe n six and seven They met, and had a pint of he awl w , n'el to Haggerstone church. When th,y w..re oppo-it,• the chinch, which ; s near o w ,t h p,i•mier arke.l him if he would do 11 j,h P. the MO ore of the job, and the of a r,v,rds told him it was to go there and rt mune rno,ey, adding, that it must be done On Wv.inuSday as there was then more money thew. I told him (said the witness) that I dared to ,ay be contd get some other parties to do it, bet he a,icl he Irad ap plied to some others, but was disappointed. The witness added, that five days after he lie:lrd that the robbery had been committed, and wt lit to the pri soner, and told him he heard that be had got the robbery done, but Tomkin , slid that he had not. Mr. BEN ETT—When he told you that he pp plied to other parties, what did you 1., ply ? Situated as you now are, it is your duty to tell the whole truth. Witness—l said I'd have nothing at all to do with it. Mr. BENETT—When (lid you next see him ? The evilness said that on the followinv SAturdety morning he saw Tomkin( at his house, and said to him, "So you've done this job." The prisoner replied, that he had not seen any thing of the money, that he was at home awl in bed 11 , :it night, and that the parties he had spoken to had 11Fril and had done it without him. Three mornings after that he sent 30s. to the witness, and last Sunday week gave him 30s. more, telling him not to ►.av any thing about the proposition that had been made to him, This witwess, in answer to furt!,er goes:ions by the Magistrate and by the solicitor, admitted that when he left the prisoner, after the conversation opposite the church, he had noqexactly made up his mind on the 7 fubjecr ; but he then went to Mr. Balls, a friend, told him that he had H job put into his hand if lie liked to do it, and related to him all that had passed. Balls advised him to have ►nothing to do with it, and he followed that advice.' The magistrates' room was then cleared, and after some private consultation, the two prisoners were remanded. UNION-HALL Yesterday Kenning and Gardiner, two of the " go-cart" men who ply at the Elephant and (',lstle, were brought before Mr. CHAMBERS and Mr. ELYARD, charged, on suspicion, with having rGbi,ed a lady, named Madden, of a valuable gold watch and appendages. The prisoners were discharged after an admo nition. A young man named Gillies was charged etidi stealing a load of hay, under the following eirctott4 stances : Mr. May, a livery stable-keeper in the Sout:- wark-road,purchased a load of hay from Mr. Sweet ing, a hay-salesman in Whitechapel-trawket, 811(1 on the way to the purchaser the carter waq stopped by the prisoner, who desired to look at the paper con taining the address of the person to whom the hay ‘vai sold. The carter very innoeen ly gave up tbe paper, upon which the prisoner said, " It's all right, come along with me." He then led the way to (lit: house of a gentleman, to whom he sold the load, and received the money, desiring the carter to re turn home after the delivery. The driver waa un able either to read or write, and the trick that had been played upon him was not di+covered until he got back again. , The salesman said, that the prisoner formerly lived in his service, and since he had discharged him, a great number of robberies of the above de scription had been committed, and he had no doubt, if the prisoner was remanded, and publicity given to the case, several charges of a similar nature would be brought against him. He was remanded accord ingly. Information was given at this office that the house of William White, Esq., of Stockwell, was broken into on Sunday night, and robbed of various articles of plate, among which was a massive silver castor stand, besides jewellery. Mr. White's house is within a few doors of Mr. Hedger's, the gr.', lemon whose premises the two young men, under the. as sumed names of Seyniour and Junk, were about to invade last week, for the purpose of carrying off a supposed rich heiress, who they were led to believe, in the course of a long epistolary correspondence, - had fallen desperately in love with one of them. Despatches were sent off by the French Am bassador yesterday evening to his Government. The Austrian Ambassador and the PrincesN ESTIRHAZT are staying on a visit to the Marquis ut - HARTFORD, at Sudbourn-hall, Sufflk. FARMING SOCIETY.--HIGHLAND PRo- DUCZ -A Committee Meeting of the Inverness.shiro Farming Society, was held yesterday at GEDDES'S Hotel, Capt. SHAW, Culblair, Chairman, to consider of the com munication from the Highland Society printed in our last. With regard to cattle the meeting were of opinion that t h u rules which regulated the show at Perth, as well as the premiums awarded will scarcely apply to Inverness. The only specimens which can be exhibited from this quarter are the pure Highland breed; hut the Committee sug gested that the Highland Society should offer pre miums for different descriptions of cuttle to encourage breeders and others to introduce such into the country. The breed of horses is here very bad, but the ponies peculiar to this country, are in great demand for the Southern markets. Hence the Committee thought that premiums might be offend for the best specimens of Highland ponies. The only specimens of sheep which can be exhibited from this country and neighbourhood are the black-faced, breed peculiar to the country. There may, however, be exhibited specimens of Cheviot and South Down, as well as a cross breed between the Cheviot and the black-faced, for all of which it would be desirable to offer premiums. Pigs are in great abundance, and specimens of all descrip tions may be .expected at the show. Extra stock, roots, seeds, &e, will also doubtless be exhibited ; but the Com mittee were not so sanguine as to ingenious machines adapted to agricultural purpose.. It would be us well, however, that the Highland Society should offer premiums of this sort to encourage mechanics and others to come forward.—lnreruese Courier. Some few weeks ago a respectable village apothecary, resident in this *minty, was aroused one cold night from his peaceful slumbers by a young fellow in the garb of a farmer's servant, and sent to a lone farm-house, at a distance of some three or four miles, in order to at tend their fair mistress, who was described to have been suddenly seized with the pains of labour. We need scarcely add that the summons was obeyed with that alacrity which usually distinguishes members of that honourable profession ; and although he could not bust re joice at finding his patient in the enjoyment of excellent health, yet he could not but feel much annoyed at the de. ception thus played off upon him ; and his respectable neighbours participating in this feeling, it was de termined to detect and ptiniela the hoaxer, whom they afterwards discovered to have been a mas querading young Coroner, resident in a neighbour ing town ; and retaliatory eneasuree were forth w;th resolved upon. The oecasioa of a hunting dinner party, at which the Learned Gentleman waisted as Vice- President, soon presented a good opportunity. After the bottle had plumed some ten or a dosen courses ronnd the table, the hilarity of the company was broken in upon by a man rushing into the room, and in apparent trepidation inquiring for the Churchwarden, at the same time ex claiming, " Oh, Sir, pier old Jona( has drowned himself !" As goon as connected answers could be drawn (ruin him, the fellow stated that old Joins's hat being above the water, search had been made in the river, and the body found. In answer to a question from the Churchwarden, it was stated that the body was drawn out at a certain perai of the river, which the young Coroner declared t he in his district. The Churchwarden directed the body, which was then in a cart at the door, to be conveyed to the workhouse. The party soon afterwards broke up, and the young,/Coroner departed home, having first directed the constable to summon a Jnry. At the ap pointed hour on the next day, the Coroner arrived, the Jury was sworn, and poor old Jon N, who haul been t:i cently laid out, underwent the view ; but the mail a lies actually drew JOHN out of the river was not forthcoming; but the Jury being of opinion that sufficient evidence was before them in finding a verdict of " found drowned," they returned the same; lint JOHN, thinking the joke had been carried quite far enough, cast off his winding-sheet ;list in time to save the Coroner the trouble of n riling out tls; warrant for his burial. The matier was canoed on so well as to deceive all the parties who were riot imme diately in the secret, including the good old wif'” of Jotrig, whose joy was most nnbeuselesl at the di-cover.—Hunt ingdon Mercury. 2sl;,
