Sophia Morgan, a widow, aged 45, of respectable ap pearance, was placed at the bar, charged on the Coroner's • inquisition with the will"' murder of her child. After some discussion between Counsel, Mr. Justice Paler ordered the trial to be postponed until Friday the 28th of May. Daniel Goulding was indicted fur the wilful murder of his wife, Hannah Goulding, on the Ist of April, in the parish of St. Ann, Blackfriars. Mr. Justice PAax, on being informed there was no Counsel for the prosecution, expressed himself in strong terms of disapprobation. His Lordship also said, if the Coroner (Mr. Payne) did not attend in Court before the termination of the trial, he would fine him. Sarah Brown examined—l live in Ireland-yard, Black friars. The prisoner, his late wife, and their two children, lodged in my house. The deceased was generally home at night, indeed always, except she was forced out of doors by the ; P"er, which sometimes occurred as often as three or four times in a night. On such occasions she would generally remain out all night. I have heard the prisoner " be hanged for my wife." About a fortnight before her death she was delivered prematurely of a child. She never left the room afterwards. The deceased was a very quiet, good kind of woman. The prisoner was also a quiet man when he was sober, but when drunk, which was often the case, he was very violent. The deceased was not addicted to liquor. Examined by Mr. BARRY—The children living are both boys, one 16 years of age, the other seven. I have some times heard the deceased cry murder, at the time her hus band was beating her. The deceased and her husband lived on the second floor. I live ou the first. Ellen Berry confirmed the evidence of the last witness, and added, that when the prisoner and his wife quarrelled, he was must violent in his manners. I laid the deceased out immediately after death ; there were marks of disco-1 louration on her head; it was my opinion they had been labouring under a bad disease ; I have frequently heard the prisoner call his wife by the foulest names. Elizabeth Brooks examined—The deceased was put to bed on the 2d of April, and died on the 10th. I have been informed that her husband turned her out of doors on the Ist. _ Sarah B rown recalled—On the day in question the deceased entreated me to go up stairs and take her part, and to protect her from the violence of her husband. When I interfered the prisoner said, " I'll serve you as I have done ber." On the day preceding her death, the deceased said, "It is impossible that I can live." This was said in the presence of her husband. He heard what passed. The deceased told the doctor that she had been ill-used and beaten by her husband. The prisoner denied that such was the ease. The deceased, however, persisted its the truth of her statement, and added, " You know that you knocked me down stairs like a bullock, and if I die my death will be at your door." Another witness gave similar testimony. Mr. John Pereira examined—l am a surgeon to the General Dispensary in Aldersgate-street. I was called in to attend the deceased the day after she had miscarried.— I have examined the deceased's body since death. There were no marks of blackness or discolouration, but when I opened the body, there appeared to have been considerable inflammation ; the stomach was also much inflamed. I consider the immediate cause of her death to have arisen from the combined effects of miscarriage and inflammation. I cannot upon my oath state the precise cause that pro duced miscarriage. Several other witnesses, lodgers in the same house with the prisoner, and alto some of the iseighours, deposed to the violent conduct of the prisoner towards his wife. The Jury, after a few minutes' consultation, returned a verdict of Manslaughter. The prisoner was immediately ordered up far judgment. The RZCORDRR then said—Prisoner at the bar, you have been tried by a lenient and humane jury, and they have found you guilty of manslaughter. There was evi dence, perhaps, sufficient to have come to another and dif ferent verdict. But is mercy they have found that your crime was not premeditated. Your inhumac conduct, however, has made you unfit any longer to remain one of the population of this country. The sentence of the Court therefore is that you be transported beyond the seas for the term of your natural life. NEW COURT. Mr. Serjeant DENMAN only remained a short time on the Bench this morning, and was succeeded by Mr. Ser jeant Aamitx. Sarah Crab, aged 27 years, was found guilty of stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of Mary Wyn ne . on j a " Day, aged 21 years, was indicted for s t ea li ng , y, 15th of April, a silver watch, two gold seals and one gold key, value 41. Ws., being the property of Henry Jamieson, in the parish of St. Luke.—Guilty. Mary Banks, a good looking smiling Cyprian, was indicted fur stealing in the parish of St. Dunstan a watch, chain, and seals, being the property of John Johnston— Guilty—Sentenced to be transported for life. Edmund Townsend was indicted for embezzling several small sums of money, while acting in the capacity of clerk to Messrs. Inglefield, Reilly, and other!, fishmongers, at Paddington. Edward Inglefield stated that the prisoner left his ser vice en the 20th of February last, by his own desire, i❑ consequence of his being dissatisfied with the witness and his partner looking over the books which witness kept. It was the duty of the prisoner to enter the various sures which were received in the establishment. The three sums stated in the iudietment were not entered in the cash book, although be received the money. Cross-examined by Mr. Cuu sswxLe.—Prisoner had set up in business for himself at about a mile from the wit ness's establishment ; the accounts were generally settled every night. It often happened, when the accounts were settled, that a sum was left in the till, which was gene rally accounted for the day after; charged the prisoner with embizzlement on the Ist of March last; sent fur him for the purpose of answering the charge ; had not any disagree ments with his partner ; it was his partner, Mr. Reilly, tLat sent for the prisoner ; hie partner sent for the pri soner to look over the accounts to see whether they were correct ; prisoner came about eight o'clock in the evening. and waited until eleven o'clock ; he was there about two hours before witness accused him of the charge. If there waq a surplus of money, witness put it in his own pocket. Told Mr. Reilly that there was often a surplus over the regular sum, but he was oftener minus in the accounts. Mad e a wager that this would be a transportable offence against the prisoner. Julia Crawley, examined by Mr. Anoerrius—ls house keeper to Mr. Trutton, of Maryborough. Paid the sum of Gs. 6d. en the 16th of February fur fish to the pri soner, when he was clerk to the prosecutors. The pro prietors were sot in the shop at the time. Frances North examined—Was cook to Mr. IWNaugh ten. Mr. It.glefield supplied her master with fish. Paid the amount of those two little bills, being 4s. Gd. and 2s. Bsl., to the prisoner at the prosecutor's establishment. There was no person in the shop but herself and the pri soner at the time. Here the case for de prosecution closed. After some discussion between Counsel, A verdict of Not Guilty was returned. Them was a manifestation of applause immediately on this announcement, by some persons iu the gallery clapping their hands. The COURT immediately ordered such an ebullition of feeling to be put down. John Dare was indicted for stealing a purse, containing 65/., on the 11 th of March last, being the property of Thomas Stanman. The prosecute was a corporal in the 32d Regiment of Foot; went to the Yorkshire Stingo public-house on the 11th of March; he is on furlough ; the regiment is at Present in Dublin ; received the sum in question on the morning of the 11 th of March, from his brother ; that stun was left to him by an aunt. When he was leaving the public-house, about eleven o'clock on the night in question, the prisoner carne out of the house, and offered to see the Witness home; he accompanied the witness a short dis tance, and afterwards thrust his hand into the witness's pocket, and stole the purse, containing the sum in ques tion. Witness Cross- gave th e p r i soner into custody. hi nt exam; ---.neu---tAnnot swear that the prisoner saw pull out his purse. There was a coachman in the room of the public-house along with witness. Witness Was not drunk. Will sot say that he charged another . person with the robbery of his pocket handkerchief. 'A policeman of the 33d division, proved taking the prisoner into custody on the night in question.—(Here he prtxluced the purse)--which he stated as having found lying on the ground. 11.epreeecutor identified the property. , prisoner stated that he was an appraiser, and de eitairedoge tha t s he did not know even where the Yorkshire was proceetiingTlhuaiteturlyhehnomhee, was given int& custody he soldier and a p o li ce - staggered Very mu in e l!

Mr. Sergeant Alts BIN having summed up, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. It was proved by James Stow, one of the City night patrol, that the prisoner had been eenvicte,l on the 4th of February, 1826, of stealing 102 hats, the property of Messrs. Oakey and Co., hatters, and was sentenced to seven years' transportation, but in consequence of good conduct, at the expiration of three years, received the King's free pardon.

At noon, yesterday, Thomas Car, convicted on Fri th'', last of the murder of William Wicks, at Bisley, on the 28th of January last, expiated the offence by the forfeiture of his life on the drop erected over the gateway of Glou cester gaol. From the first moment of his commitment to prison, the wretched, misguided man always persisted in de claring his innocence of all participation in, or knowledge of, the dreadful crime of which lie then stood accused. His son William, who was tried with him, but acquitted, he has not seen since his return, o❑ the evening of his con viction, to the gaol, when they embraced and took an af fecting farewell of each other. The following morning his son, against whom a detainer had been lodged for stealing an iron pot, was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. On the night which ushered in the last morning of his existence the prisoner slept tolerably sound. He arose at an early hour, and was soon after visited by the Rev. Chaplain, who remained with him till the moment of his death. He still declared himself inno cent. After receiving the Sacrament, arid spending some time in prayer, lie was delivered over to the Sheriff. He walked firmly along the prison-yard, and having ascended the fatal platform, the executioner fixed the rope, and then asked him whether he wished to say any The pri soner answered, in a voice sufficiently loud to be beard by , a large proportion of the vast concourse of persons as sembleal on the green in front of the prison gateway, " What I have to say is, that I am as innocent of this crime of murder as the child unborn. I urn innocent, so help me God." Within a very few minutes after snaking this awful declaration, the miserable being was hurried into the presence of his Maker and his Judge, with, as there is too much reason for fearing, a lie in his mouth. He seemed to suffer greatly, his legs and ruins being convulsed in a frightful manner for upwards of a minute. As is usual in cases of murder his body is to he dissected, and it is understood will, for that purpose, be delivered over to the surgeons of the County Infirmary. As the solemn dying declaration of the wretched man may probably produce a strong impression of his innocence in the minds of some, it may he right to state that, besides the evidence adduced on the trial, there is a confession made by his son, but which the rules of law would not allow to be read on the trial, and which confession, if true, places the question of his guilt beyond doubt. To suppose it false would be supposing the son to be guilty of as hor rible un attempt at parricide as ever was recorded. On Saturday, at Hereford, James Williams suffered the last penalty of the law on the drop over the gateway of the County Gaol, for robbing and violently beating Francis Willington, on the 3d of November last. The prisoner was convicted at the last Assizes, together with Robert Floyd and John Roberts. The last-named prisoner was only 17 years old, and it appearing he had taken no active part in the outrage, his sentence was com muted to transportation for life. Floyd was to have suf fered with Williams ; but, in consequence of some circum stances which have transpired since the trial, tending to raise a doubt as to the correctness of the verdict against him, and as both Williams and Roberts have solemnly de nied that he was of the party, a communication was made to Mr. Peel, who last week forwarded a respite of his sen tence to the 15th of May. The unfortunate young man (Williams) is a tailor by trade, and a native of Hereford. He was only 19 years old. He had been before tried for robbery, and bore but an indifferent character. Since his condemnation Williams has displayed every ex ternal appearance of sincere repentance, paying a most be coming attention to the religious advice and assistance which the Chaplain unremittingly afforded him. At time. be was much affected, frequently bursting out suddenly into tears. Having received the Sacrament, he was deli vered over by the Governor of the Gaol to the custody of the Under-Sheriff, and the procession passed along the prison•. yard to the fatal spot. Being lame, he was supported by an assistant on either side, and placed under the drop, where, the necessary arrangement. having been completed, after a short period spent in prayer, the fatal bolt was withdrawn, and, after a few convulsive heaves, time with him became merged in eternity. He admitted the justice of his sentence, but to the last persisted in declaring that Floyd was not implicated in the crime. His dying decla. ration on this subject becomes more important, as Roberts has retracted the statement he made of Floyd's innocence, and now declares that he was the original instigator and principal perpetrator of the outrage. FIRE IN Ross-SHIRE.---On Tuesday the 6th inst. the farm offices of Alilneraig, were burnt to the ground. The conflagration was awfully impressive ; the wind being at the time very high, and through a crowd of persons collected, from the dry state of the house and other causes, it was impossible to save any part of the buildings. The loss of grain, (wheat, oats, and barley) burnt and da maged, (part of the wheat was saved) has been estimated at about! 4001., and the loss sustained by the proprietor, will exceed double that amount.,-.lnverness Courier. INDIA. ABOLITION OF THE SUTTEE RITE. A regulation for declaring the habit of suttee, or of burning or burying alive the widows o f Hindoos, illegal, and punishable by the Crimi. nal Courts. Passed by the Governor in Coun cil, on the 4th December, 1829. The practice of suttee, or of burning or burying alive the widows of Hindoos, is revolting to the feelings of human nature : it is no where enjoined by the religion of the Hindoos as an imperative duty; on the contrary, a Efe of purity and retire ment on the part of the widow is more especially and preferably inculcated, and by a vast majority of that people throughout India the practice is not kept up nor observed : in some extensive districts it does not exist; in those in which it has been most frequent it is notorious that, in many instances, acts of atrocity have been perpetrated which have been shocking to the Hindoos themselves, and in their eyes unlawful and wicked. The measures hitherto adopted to discourage and prevent such acts have failed of success, and the Governor-General in Council is deeply impressed with the conviction that the abuses in question cannot be effectually put an end to without abolishing the practice altogether. Actuated by these considerations, the Governor- General in Council, without intending to depart from one of the first and most important principles of the system of British Government in India, that all classes of the people be secured in observance of their religious usages, so long as that system can be adhered to without violation of the paramount dic tates of justice and humanity, has deemed it right to establish the following rules, which are hereby enacted to be in force from the time of their pro mulgation throughout the territories immediately subject to the Presidency of Fort William. 2. The practice of suttee, or of burning, or bury ing alive the widows of Ilindoos, is hereby declared illegal, and punishable by the Criminal Courts. 3. First, All Zemindars, Talookdars, or other proprietors of land, whether Malguzaree, or Lak heraj ; all Sudder farmers, and Under-rulers of land of every description ; all dependent Talookdars ; all Naibs, and other local agents; all Native Officers employed in the collection of the revenue, and rents of land on the part of Government, or the Court of Wards ; and all Munduls, or other head men of vil lages, are hereby declared especially accountable for the immediate communication to the officers of the nearest police station of any intended sacrifice of the nature described in the foregoing section ; and any Zernindar, or other description of persons above no ticed, to whom such responsibility is declared to attach, who may be convicted of wilfully neglecting or delaying to furnish the information above re quired, shall be liable to be fined by the Magis trate, or joint Magistrates, in any sum not exceeding 200 rupees, and in default Of payment to be confined for any period of imprisonment not exceeding six months. Second—lmmediately on receiving intelligence that the sacrifice declared illegal by this regulation is likely to occur, the Police Darogah shall either repair in person to the spot, or depute his Mohur hir or Jemadar, accompanied by one or more Bur kendazes of the Hindoo religion, and it shall be the duty of the police officers to announce to the per sons assembled for the performance of the ceremony, that it is illegal, and endeavour to prevail on them to disl)erse, explaining to them that in the event of their persisting in it, they will involve themselves in a crime, and become subject to a punishment in the Criminal Courts. Should the parties assembled proceed in defiance of these remonstrances to carry the ceremony into effect, it shall be the duty of the police officers to use all lawful means in their power to prevent the sacrifice from taking place, and to apprehend the principal persons aiding and abetting in the performance of it; and in the event of the police officers being unable to apprehend them, they shall endeavour to ascertain their names and places of abode, and shall immediately communicate the whole of the particulars to the Magistrate, or joint Magistrate, for his orders. Third—Should intelligence of a sacrifice declared illegal by this regulation not reach the police officers until after it shall actually have taken place, or should the sacrifice have been carried into effect before their arrival at the spot, they will, neverthe less, institute a full inquiry into the circumstances of the case, in like manner as on all other occasions of unnatural death, and report them for the in formation and orders of the Magistrate, or joint Magistrates, to whom they may be subordinate. 4. - First—On the receipt of the reports required to be made by the Police Darogahs, under the pro vision of th e f ore going Section, the Magistrat e or joint Magistrates of the jurisdiction in which th e sacrifice may have taken place, shall inqui re i nto the circumstances of the case, and shall adopt the necessary measures fur bringing the parties con cerned in promoting it to trial before the Court of Circuit. Second—lt is hereby declared, that after the pro mulgation of this regulation, all persons convicted of aiding anti abetting in the sacrifice of a Ilindoo widow, by burning or burying her alive, whether the sacrifice be voluntary on her part or not, shall be deemed guilty of culpable homicide, and shall be liable to punishment by fine or by imprisonment, or by both tine and imprisonment, at the direction of the Court of Circuit, according to the nature and circumstances of the case, and degree of guilt established against the offender; nor shall it be held to be any plea of justification that he or she was desired by the party sacrificed to assist in put ting her to death. Third—Persons committed to take their trial be fore the Court of Circuit for the offence above men tioned, shall be admitted to bail or not, at the dis cretion of the Magistrate or joint Magistrates, sub ject to the general rules in force in regard to the ad mission of bail. 5. It is further deemed necessary to declare, that nothing contained in this regulation shall be con strued to preclude the Court of Nizamut Adawlut from passing sentence of death on persons convicted of using violence or compulsion, or of having as sisted in burning or burying alive a Hindoo widow, while labouring under a state of intoxication or stu pefaction, or other cause, impeding the exercise of her free-will, when, from the aggravated nature of the offence proved against the prisoner, the Court may see no circumstance to render him or her a pro per object of mercy. CHINA. The dispute between the Company's Factors and the Chinese Government had not been settled so late as the 11th of November, when the Sher burne sailed. A threat has even been made, o►' the part of the latter, to retain the Hon. Company's ship Bridgewater, which has been driven up the river, by the severe gale experienced through the preceding month; in consequence of which, SOO men armed with cutlas-es, &c., had been sent up, who brought off the ship without opposition. A medal is to be struck in Paris to comme morate the Legislative Session of March, 1830, the ex pense to be defrayed by subscription.—Atheneum. THE YORKSHIRE ASSIZES.—We understand that must of the Members of Parliament connected with the county, are averse to the removal of the Assizes for the West Riding, from York to Wakefield ; but the wish for this transfer among the public has been much increased by the extreme inconvenience which many individuals suffered from the length of the late Assize. Great complaints are made by suitors, witnesses, jurors, and professional men, of the unusual expence and inconvenience to which they were subjected by the occurrence of the long will cause, which occupied a whole week, and delayed for that period the completion of the West Riding business. These complaints appear to us to be perfectly just. It surely was most un reasonable, for the mere purpose (as it is said) of accoin dating one individual, who received upwards of five hundred guineas for his services, to give precedence to a cause wholly unconnected with the county, and which it was known must consume a very large portion of the public time. Such a cause ought clearly to have been postponed to all the proper business of the couuty..—Leeds Mercury. MS MAJESTY'S HEALTH. (I , rotti the Court Circular. ) His MAJESTY'S health has not, we regret to state, improved to that degree as was anticipated from the favourable state in which the KING appeared on Saturday. Sir HENRY HA LFORD and Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY remained in attendance on his MAJESTY during Sunday night. The two medical gentlemen held a con sultation yesterday morning at the Palace, pre vicus to their leaving for London, and agreed upon the following Bulletin for the information of the public " WINDSOR CASTLE, APRIL 19, 1830. " His MAJESTY continues to suffer occasionally, from attacks of embarrassment in his breathing. " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY." HIS MAJESTY may be considered to be rather better than when . the first Bulletin of the state of his health was issued ; certainly not worse : neither of the physicians were in attend ance on the KING during yesterday. Sir HENRY HALFORD left the Palace sh ortly before eight o'clock, and returned to town. Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY remained at the Palace about an hour and a half after the departure of Sir HENRY, when Sir MATTHEW also took his leave, on his return to town. Sir HENRY HALFORD returned to the Palace soon after seven o'clock yesterday even ing. Sir MATTHEW TITZRNEY was not ex pected to return to the Palace last night. Copies of the Bulletin were sent to th• Duke of CLARENCE at Bushy Park, and the other branches of the Royal Family, in the course of the morning. SPORTING INTELLIGEN CE. TATTERSALL'S. The crowded state of the room induced as to expect a heavy (lay's business. This, however, was not the case, although *omit tolerably heavy engagements were made. The alterations in the odds are not to be treated slightly at this period, when the near approach of the Epsom Races gives an importance to every fluctuation. Cressida is not in any demand ; the last odds offered were 500 to 105 ; but these would have increased if there had been any disposition evinced to back him. Brunswieker was backed by the north country people, and left off at 7 to 1 (offers), which a Manchester gentleman had previously taken to 3001. Mouse was not in favour, nor was Cetus; Augustus was backed at 11 to 1, and Malunoud had many friends, who confidently assert that he is the best horse for the Derby (this we have strong reason to think has been ascertained to be the c::•se). Lord Exeter's other horse, Red Rover, is reported to have gone amiss in his legs, 40 to 1 being offered with impunity. At six o'clock the following were the average prices : TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES. Even between Augustus and Mouse.

The Duke of WELLINGTON came to town on Sunday evening, from his residence at Stratlitieldsaye. Summonses were issued yesterday morning to the Cabinet Ministers to attend a Cabinet Council. Mes sengers were also despatched to those of the Ministers who were obit of town. The Spanish Minister had a long conference with the Dike of WELLINGTON yesterday, at the Treasury.

SOUTHERN, the author of the tragedy of Isabella, which was originally called The Fatal Mar riage, or the Innocent Adultery, was the first dramatic writer who received large sums from the booksellers; he got 1501. for the copyright of a play, The Spartan Dame, in 1719, and the profits *sing from only three nights' representation amounted to 7001. ; whilst JOHN DRYDEN never received more than 1001. for his most suc cessful play. Sounixitw was the first who extended the privileges of dramatic authors to a second and third night. Isabella, in SOUTHERN'S tragedy of that rmne (at the first representation of which the celebrated Mrs. BRACEGIRDLE spoke the prologue), has been se lected by Miss FANNY KESIBLE, for her next personation, on her lather's benefit night. In this play Mrs. SIDDONS took look leave of the Bath audience, previously to her appearance at Drury-lane, where she again agitated the town in this heart-rending character. CHARLES KEMBLE will represent Biron. A young lady, of great beauty and accom plishments, will mate her debut at the Haymarket Theatre early in the approaching season. Her ta!ents are purely musical. She has been educated in a good school, and her vocal powers are spoken of with enthusiasm by the worthy Knight, who has for several years managed the Orchestra of one of our national theatres. The author of " Pelham" has in the press a new Novel, to be called " Paul Cie:Yard," wherein, we understand, a perfectly original mode of satire is to be developed. The Jaading Members of the Cabinet, and the Lords paramount of the drawing-rooms, headed by no less a personage than the m w himself, will be asto nished to see the garb in which, with but link disguise, the author has arranged them. We are happy to communicate the fullov►ing trait of munificence in the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. It will be recollected that a few weeks ago the elegant cottage of Mr. CRAMPTON, the Surgeon-General,. of the Forces, which is situated at Loughbrea, was burnt to the ground. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, who had not long previously paid a visit to Mr. CRAMPTON at this resi dence, no sooner heard of the loss, than he delicately re quested, in a way which could not be refused, to be al lowed to rebuild the cottage at his own expense, on the ground, he said, of its having been a national ornament which it became the head of the Government to restore. The expense is estimated, we understand, at about 3,0001. The new road leading from Buckingham-gate through St. James's-park, to Great George-street, for carriages , is now gravelling, and will be open, we under stand, on Friday next to the public. It will be a great ac commodation to the inhabitants of Grosvenor-place, and to those who will occupy the splendid mansions now erect ing by Mr. CIJBITT in Belgrave-square, and its neighbour hood. The first open ballot of the Literary Union 'Club took place on Wednesday last, when out of ten can didates for admission only one was elected. Either sonic of the members must have been very good-natured to pro pose so many unfit persons, or the ballot was not conducted with due regard to justice and feeling. We are disposed to think that this general blackballing proceeded from a paltry affectation of respectability, and an aping of the other clubs, rather than from the unworthiness of all the candidates. The members of the club will do well to reflect, that although a reasonable difficulty in obtaining admission will increase its character', indiscriminate rejec tion will do harm, and prevent applications from respect able persons who would otherwise become candidates. It would be much more creditable to endeavour to recruit their funds by getting 200 more respectable members, and improving their dinner establishment. At present it is common chop-house fare with high tavern prices.— Intclligence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A very ludicrous scene took place at the Mansion house on th e occasion of a ehar::e against an Almoner of the Tower, who is in the habit of acting as armed knight to the Lord Mayor on that most remarkable of days in the city calendar, the 9th of November. Mr. Clements, a gentleman who resides in Trinity square, stated, that the Almoner, who lodged at his house, was in the habit of throwing up the windows in the dead of the night, and calling the watch, to the disgrace of the house, and the alarm of the whole neighbourhood. For this sort of conduct there was no excuse whatever, but it was in vain to ex postulate with the Almoner, who, on the preceding night, upon returning home tipsy, frightened all the ladies i❑ the house by roaring out for the assistance of the guardians of the night. The witness thought the best way to dispose of him was to clacge him to the safe custody of those whose aid he invoked, and at half-past eleven o'clock he was consigned to the Giltspur-street Compter. The LORD MAYOR said, the practice complained of was a very extraordinary' one indeed, and asked whether the Almoner was not rather touched in the pericranium ?—Mr. Clements fancied that some thing of the kind must be the ct - .le ; but he attri buted this perverted flight of the imagination to the excessive use of strong cordials. The Almoner, who is a man of gigantic propor tions, with a large quantity of whitish hair thickly set in his head, shook his head at this intimation, and held up a finger at each side of it, as if to say that if he was mad, he was horn mad. His LORDSHIP asked his Knight why he took such a fancy to the society of the watchmen at a time when all reasonable men were going to bed ? The Almoner said, the fact was, he did not fancy the society of the landlord, who was rather too parti cular in his attentions to his wife to give unmixed satisfaction. He (the Almoner) had returned to his lodging on the preceding night, and was not long in his bed-room with his wife when he heard a footstep close to the door, and on opening it, he perceived his landlord watching for a wicked opportunity, like Tarquin. The LORD MAYOR said the step of the landlord on the stairs was one of those " trifles light as air" which jealousy fixed upon as " confirmations," and that a man was not to be suspected of intriguing with the wives of his lodgers because he took it into his head to walk about his own house. "But," said his Lordship, " has your wife complained of his conduct ?"—" Complained !" said the Almoner with a laugh, " Not she indeed. She, I have every reason to suppose, encourages him." Mr. Clements declared most solemnly that such an imputation was the grossest libel that could be uttered. The defendant's wife was an extremely re spectable, well-conducted woman, and had suffered most severely from her husband's unmanageable and mischievous vagaries. The LORD MAYOR told the complainant, that it was a very great annoyance, no doubt, to be subject to the visits of the watch at such hours, and asked him whether he could swear that he was in fear of the Almoner.—Mr. Clements certainly was not, as he considered himself able to manage that gen tleman. Every woman, however, in the house was greatly frightened at him. The Almoner—Well, I'll tell you what it is— I'll leave my wife and furniture, and all with you, and never again enter your doors, if you let the matter drop here. Mr. Clements said that the Almoner must cer tainly quit his house, but he must pay up his arrears of rent, which the value of the furniture did not amount to, before he could be considered at liberty to depart. His LORDSHIP ordered that the Almoner should find bail if he failed to satisfy his landlord that he would no more appeal to the judgment of the watch men on the subject of his jealous suspicions. Several of the Paddington coachmen having lately become drivers as well as owners of omnibuses, the streets in the neighbourhood of the Bank are often favoured with racing and blackguard contests of all descriptions from those gentry, and human life is constantly in the most imminent danger in conse quence of the violence of the competition. A number of gentlemen attended yesterday to prefer complaints against the drivers of many of those vehicles. The LORD MAYOR told the defendants, that if they did not mind what they were about, they would destroy human life, and stand at the bar of the Old Bailey. His Lordship then lined each of the defendants 205., and Mr. Gill requested that the moiety allot! ed to him should be given to the Li censed Victuallers' Asylum. Two other drivers were next charged by some gentlemen who reside in Coleman -street, the scene of many a contest. One of the defendants contrived to drive his horses in such a manner as to prevent a competitor who was behind him from getting Mr ward, and a corresponding effort was made by the hindmost to get into the place of his adversary. At last the affair came to a gallop, and it really looked as if the rivals were quite regardless of any thing but victory. The street was in a complete uproar with abus,-, hallooing, shouting, and slashing. A lady in one of the vehicles screamed aloud with fright, and begged to be let out, but two or three Jew cads held the door fast, and a gentleman was obliged to force it open. The lady was taken out : the omni buses then set off at full gallop. The defendants declared that there was not the slightest danger to any body, and they solemnly vowed that they walked their horses all the way — (Laughter)—one might have wished to get before the other, that was all. The LORD MAYOR fined the defendant who acted worst upon this occasion (for the gentlemen who complained drew a distinction between them) the sum of 405., and the lesser offendei ss. Other drivers were also find, some for rapid driving, and others for stoppages. His Lordship said, he understood there was a common purse from which those fines were paid, but he thought he should soon empty it. He should begin to fine the omnibus gentry 5/. each. GUILDHALL. John Phillips, one of the ward constables of St. Andrew's, Holborn, was charged yesterday with assaulting George Osborne, one of the new police men, while attending at the fire in Fetter-lane, to render assistance. Osborne stated, that just as he had reached the ground to assist, and before he bad done any thing beyond merely looking on, he was accosted by the defendant, without any provocation, and ordered to go on about his business, for be had no business there. The defendant at the same time took hold of his collar, and poking him in the back with the tip of his staff, pushed him onwards towards Hol born. Defendant was very much intoxicated, and several gentlemen who saw his conduct, desired wit-, ness to take him into custody, for being drunk on duty. At the watch-house the defendant's con. duct was most outrageous, Mr. Empson, an inhabitant of Bartlett's-build ings, said, that upon the fire breaking out, he went round to it, and many of the new policemen speedily came to the spot, and exerted themselves in a very praiseworthy manner. They obtained ladders, and even risked their lives to render assistance:. When at length the city people came about, they began by dispersing the policerue4, telling them they had no right to interfere in the city, and treating them shamefully. Mr. Burkitt, of Castle -street, Holborn, corrobo, rated the last witness. At the watch-houw two men could scarcely hold the defendant, The city police seemed to be filled with a diagraceful rancour against the new police, who had certainly on this occasion rendered very essential services. He heard two of the city constables say, " Now, well go and have a row with them." Mr. 4lderman T HORP t o l d the defendant the ca se against him was of at serious compl ex i on. Defendant replied, that not havu,g ar t y official duty to perform that night, he had Wien a " a drop" with a friend, n hing he was not in the habit of doing. " Weil," replied the Alderman, " the case stands over," and all the parties retired. Thomas Hobson, au old duller, was charged by a new policeman, who took him in the crowd at the fire. It appeared he had mistaken an honest lad for a pickpocket, and proposed to exchange for any handkerchiefs, &c. he might have secured, a brass watch chain and seals, which he represented to be gold, and to have just been stolen from a gentle man. The lad immediately gave him into custody. As no exchange was effected, no offence was com pleted, and the prisoner was therefore admonished, and discharged. BOW-STREET. Two more wretches, supposed to belong to the gang part of whom were apprehended at the Bull public-house ON Sat urdsy night (as described in The Sun of yesterday), were placed at the bar in the course of the morning►, charged with having been found together on Sunday night in a nook on the Middlesex side of Waterloo-bridge, under circum stances of an indecent description. The prisoners, with another man who managed to escape, were observed in company together by police serjeant Stewart and a constable, and having been watched, they were subsequently discovered in the situation above described, and taken into cus tody. One of them gave the name of William Jen kins, and the other John Dean. The former, who was very smartly dressed, described himself as a tailor, and the latter as a servant. They were both fully committed for trial. Jen kins was at the office about two years ago upon a similar charge. Mr. HALLS having heard in the course of the day that Eagle, the landlord of the Bull public-house, had been acquitted at the Sessions, directed that hu information should be immediately exhibited against him for harbouring infamous characters. It is observable, that when cases of this odious description occur, they are generally followed by un founded charges of a similar nature: accordingly, a young man, the son of a highly respectable trades man at the west end of the town (whose name, under the circumstances, it would not be proper to mention), was yesterday accused of abominable practices before Sir R. BIRSIE and Mr. HALLS, by two young fellows, one of whom is a well-known thief. One of the witnesses swore that a compa nion of his told him that he had been indecently assaulted by the accused on Monday week, in con sequence of which they (the witnesses) determined to watch him, and, accordingly, on Saturday night, they found him in a passage leading into Little Russell-street, with another man. The accused and the strange man ran away, but the former was sub sequently apprehended. The Magistrates, con ceiving the charge was trumped ap with a view to extort money, directed that the two witnesses should he detained, in order, if possible, that tie third fellow might be apprehended, and the gentleman was requested to wait the result. The search, how ever, was fruitless, and the accused, who declared his perfect innocence, was discharged, on promising to be forthcoming if necessary. The two witnesses were then told that they might go about their business. A benevolent individual, using the initials S. M., en:dosed a sovereign for the use of the unfortunate Mrs. Ousley, whose husband has so shamefully de serted her, with a request that Sir R. Birnie would hand it to her. LAMBETH-ST REET. A woman of the name of Ellen White was chaNel with leaving a child at the door of the Whitechapel workhouse. Mr. WALKER sent her to the House of Correction for one month. DUBLIN. HENRY-STREET POLICE OFFICE. On Wednesday two females, each bearing a boy in her arms, applied to prefer a charge of bigamy against a person for having contracted marriage with both. Mr. COLE—What is the name of the person against whom you complain ? First Wife—Martin Kavanagh, a pensioner of the 44th Regiment, and a varnisher besides. My own name is Mary Maher, and I have followed him through the Indies for years, as his lawful married wife. Second 'Wife—l haVe been married to hi.ru for some time, and travelled Newfoundland with him. I knew he was married before this, but I was not sure of it. Mr. COLE—Do you meau to say that he has got a third wife? Complaivant—Certaialy I do; be has three wives at present. I can get the last to prove her own marriage. _ Mr. COLE—What may be his family ? First Wife—Why, I kayo three children ; this woman has three children, and he has three wires. Second Wife—Yes, your Worship, and when he was going to marry the third wife, and I found it out, " Martin, says I, " hava not yot," says I, " married enough ; an' what would you be after do ing more ?" Well, your 'Worship, I brought kiln, round to listen to good advice; an' he said to me, " Well, Anne," says he, " if you'll live with me, I'll live with you, an' I'll never do the like again ;" so I consented, your Worship. Here the first wife handed in her certificate of marriage, celebrated by the late Mr. Woods, of Straw-market celebrity. Informations were directed to be taken, and a warrant issued for the apprehension of the uxorious Martin. It is a remarkable fact that all the Chit.f Magistrates of the different Republics on the Continent of America are now filled by military Chieftains. About half their number have been removed by rotation and petty re volution since 1829, as appeals from the following list ; but the maxim of" Cedant arma togs" is completely reversed, and every one of them is ruled by a military man—viz. let January 1820. 1530.

Boyer, 1 - IORRIDLE AFFRAY AND LOSS OF LIVES AT BAILIEISOROUCiri.-By a letter dated the 13th inst., from Moyle, we have received an account of a sanguinary conflict having taken place in the town of Bailieborougb, on Easter Monday, in which the lose, we regret to state, is estimated at ten persona killed, besides from thirty to sixty wounded, It appears that a market is held there on Mondays, and that Easter Monday being a holiday, it was attended by considerable crowds from all parte of the stir rounding country. Our Correspondent states as follows I —" In the course of the day s:veral persons were beaten, but no serious occurrence took plat* until about haltpast four o'clock, when a fight commenced so suddenly that it appeared as if the entire town and all the persons in the market were concerned in it ; the police were called upon; but they, unfortunately, for all parties were very few in number. They endeavoured as muck to in their power to repress the multitude, but without moue, and then loaded their wahines and fired upon the crowd, who returned the fire with large volliee of ;Mute. The conflict became general ; two men, one of the name of REILLY and another of the name of CLAM:I, Were shot dead upon the apot by the police, and several others were wounded, I dare say, in the course of the night, not leas than ten must have died by the wounds they received from the shots and bayonets of the police, which were ap plied to keep the multitude from i nc l os i ng th em . Th e conflict lasted with great heat fo r a b ou t two h ours, an d had it n o t beet for the interference of Jonx DONNELLY, EN•Aa Alagistrate, and the Rev. PAILLIP O'Reiwr, pariah priest of Bailieborough, the effects would have been dreadful. I think the loss may be estimated at about ten killed, and from thirty to sixty wounded. A Medical Gentleman, who resides is Bailieborough, stated that he had in the course of the evening, thirty persons in his house, a great many of whom he feat* ware mortally wonmled,."— Tipperary Fret Prey
