LAW INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY.) VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. Hit Honour the V ice - CuaNcEt.t.oa took causes to-day, none of which possessed the slightest public interest. His Honour rose at one o'clock to attend the levee of his Majesty. ROLLS' COURT. The Mas Tea of the Rous sat this morning at ten o'clock. THR GRIAT WILL CALISR. , --TATRAIII V. WRIGHT. Mr. BROUGHAM and Mr. PoLtocic attended the Court thii morning in this important case. Mr. Por.Locx trusted the Court would postpone the discpssion of the motion for the new trial till October, as it would be utterly impossible, if the Court granted a new trial, that it could take place at York (the Commission day being next Saturday), or any other part of the Northern Circuit, with the exception of Lancaster, a place where the Court bad deliberately adjudged it ought not to be tried. The previous trial occupied no less a period than six days, the Learned Judge's summing up took eleven hours, and the s hort -hand -writer's notes several months to transcribe them: and of such enormous length were the pleadings, that it would be utterly impossible to be prepared with the case, even to try it at Lancaster.-- Indeed, for his own part, he (Mr. Pollock) hardly considered himself personally safe, to such a great extent had the feeling of persons carried themselves in that town and its neighbourhood. The Learned Counsel concluded an ingenious speech of sortie length, by trusting that the Court would postpone the discussion for a new trial till the month of October. Mr. BICKIRSTRTH followed on the same side. Mr. Baouatraar, contra, considered that his Learned Priem' had advanced no arguments that would in duce the Court to postpone the discuasion for the new trial. 'With respect to the observations made by his Learned Friend (Mr. Pollock), consider. big himself unsafe in attending Lancaster in con sequence of the excited feelings of the parties with re ference to this cause, it must be remembered that there were constables in Lancaster ; his Learned Friend, therefore, need not be under any apprehensions from the mob, because he might have the whole posse cumitatis of Lancaster to protect him from any aggression ; and should not their force be sufficient, he (Mr. Brougham) hsd no doubt soldiers would he procured who would escort his Learned Friend in safety to the Court. What on earth his Learned Friend's clients had to fear from the in fluence of a poor old Admiral, .who never lived in the place, and perhaps never spent 10/. there, he (Mr. Brougham) was at a loss to conceive. Mr. Pou.oex observed, that Admiral Tatham had lived there two years, and had tampered with the witnesses to a great extent. Mr. BROUGHAM positively denied the tampering, and observed that he might have lived there, but if be did it well in the back parlour of an inn. Mr. POLLOCK slid that this was not the fact, but on the contrary, ho had had a house therefor two years. Mr. BROUGHAM considered that with respect to what had been stated relative to the change of venue, that his Learned Friend, Mr. Pollock, and his co adjuters would be exposed to the slightest danger, was one of the wildest suggestions he had ever heard brought forward in a Court of Justice as a ground for changing the venue. It was not affected to be said that the Blanketeera or Peterloo-men would come down twain, in order to attack the Counsel employed against Admiral Tathatn. He had no doubt that the speech delivered by his Learned Friend rung in the ears of the people of Yolk at this moment. By the affidavit of the respectable solicitor of the defendant, it was stated, that it would not befit to change the venue from York to Lancaster, and that no fair trial could take place anywhere with the exception of York, London, or Westminster. Now, with that proposition he (Mr. Brougham) would immediately close, and would at once consent that the trial (if the Court granted one) should take place at Westminster. But be trusted if that course Ikea adopted, his Honour would arrange the bearing of the application fora new trial, so that it could take place before December. Mr. Pota.oex concurred in the propriety of that mode of arranging it. The Mam a. of the Rout considered it a matter re quiring gnat consideration. Probably the Learned Counsel (Mr. Brot!ghatn) was not aware of the practice of a Court of Equity in m a t ters of this kind, fur although there might be objections to the admission of evidence on other points of form, yet if, upon considering the whole evidence, the Court was of opinion the Jury had come to a right conclusion, it would refuse a new trial. It was ishoolutely Necessary to the ends of justice that the Court Should enter into a full consideration of the whole case. Mr. BliouallASS was aware that that was the practice of the Court, because Lord Eldon had laid down that rule in the ease of Bootle v. Blundell. The MAIITKR, of the Rotas said, he would take the short -hand writer's notes of thesumming up of the Learned Judge, together with the pleadings, which he would carefully read over ; the case should come on for ergo !tient on the first day of Michaelmas Term, and he would 1 5 ready to deliver his judgment on the following clay, so th at no delay whatever should take place. The case, _therefore, stand s over t ill the first day of Mi c h ae l mas Term. he Court rose shortly after one o'clock to attend the l ‘log's Levee, " . ----- COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) (FROSI OUR OWN CORARSPONDENT.) OXFORD CIRCUIT.-ABINODON, JULY 20. CANNING V. GUNNII.L. This was an action on the warrantry of a horse, and oc cupied the Court from nine o'clock in the morning until nearly two. The details were quite uninteresting, the whole of the case resting on the question as to whether the horse was or was not unsound at the time he was pur chased by the plaintiff, and the warrantry given by the de fendant. The parties are both respectable persons residing at Newbury, and not the least fraud or unfairness was at tempted by either of them, it was merely a matter of legal liability. A great number of witnesses were examined on both sides. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Serjeunt LunLow and Mr. TALFORD were Counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. TAUNTON and Mr. Cuawoon for the defendant. Mr. Justice PARxr, in his summing up, observed that he always save his servants positive orders never to war rant any horse of his that they might sell for him ; for, said his Lordship, I would rather lose 20/, by every one I have, than run the risk and great probability of becoming entangled in the meshes of a law-suit. Every wise man would do well to act in the same manner, and, continued his Lordship, if they had seen as much of horse causes as I have I think they would. This cause closed the business on the Civil side. CROWN SIDE. Before Mr. Justice 13osANQuer. John Andrews, aged b 6, but whose withered appear. ante bespoke him some years older, was capitally indicted for assaulting Mary Cunningham, a child under 10 years of age. The Jury, after retiring some time from the box, re turned with a verdict of Guilty. The Learned Juno immediately passed sentence of death, and told the prisoner not to expect that mercy could be extended to him. This is the only prisoner that sentence of death has been passed upon during the Assizes. The business of the Assize terminated this evening.— The Commission will be opened at Oxford to-morrow (this day). MR. WELLESLEY'S DINNER AT MLLE RICAY TO THE FREEHOLDERS. Yesterday the town of Billericay was greatly en livened in consequence of a public dinner being given by Mr. Wellesley, at the Crown Inn, to his friends in that neighbourhood. The upper room of the town hall (now erecting) was chosen for the oc casion, and was fitted up in a very neat style, by Messrs. Lankuster and Etolph. The walls were de corated with laurel, interspersed with artificial flowers, above which were inscribed in large letters, occupying three sides of the room, the following mottos, " Universal Freedom," " Plough, Loom, and Sail," " King and Constitution," " Wellesley and Independence." Tables were laid for about 100 visitors. It was announced that dinner would be on the table at four o'clock, but in consequence of Mr. Wellesley being unavoidably detained in town, it was six o'clock before the company (about SO in number) sat down. Mr. Wellesley was met at the entrance of the town by a considerable number of people, and a band of music. It had been intended to take the horses from the carriage, and ropes were prepared for drawing the Hon. Gentleman to the Inn, but owing to the lateness of his arrival, that compliment was dispensed with to save time. He was accompanied by Sir Felix Agat and Sir George Denys. The cloth being drawn, Mr. Wellesley gave— " The King," with three times three. Air, by the Band—" God nave the King." The following toasts were then given— " The Queen and the Royal Family." " Prosperity to the County of Essex." " The Freeholders of the County of Essex." Sir G. DENYS proposed the health of Mr. Long Wellesley, and success to him in his election for the county of Essex. , That gentleman's political prin ciples were known to every one present, and he (Sir G. D.) begged to say, they met his entire approbation ; he therefore proposed the health of the Hon. Long Wellesley, with three times three, or rather with nine times nine. --(Loud applause.) The toast having been drank with the greatest enthusiasm, Mr.WELLEst.Ev returned thanks; in doing which he expressed his conviction that Mr. Western and himself entertained the same opinion as regarded the necessity for relieving the industrious classes from the burthens that press so heavily upon them. Even Lord Goderich, the champion of Ultra-To ryism, so lately as the 9th July last, expressed in the House of Lords an opinion to the same effect. His Lordship stated, that the same opinion was general throughout the country, and that the force of united public opinion must eventually be irre sistible. The Hon. Gentleman said be was at a loss to conceive on what grounds he could be op posed when such an identity of sentiment existed between him, the Whigs, and the Tarim,. lie trusted that the Freeholders would support him, as in so doing they would support and promote their own best interest. The lateness of the hour precludes our giving further particulars, except to notice that after Mr. Wellesley's speech, that gentleman gave , " The health of the Duke of Sussex."—Erre.r Herald.

Yesterday morning his Majesty inspected the Ist and 2d battalions of the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards, on the parade in St. James's-park, before the Horse Guards.— His Majesty, accompanied by the Queen, arrived on the ground at a few minutes before ten o'clock; the latter proceeded to Earl Bathurst's house, and afterwards ap peared at the window to view the military. The King joined his staff, among which were their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Cumberland, Sussex, and Gloucester, Prince Coburg, Prince George of Cumberland, Lord Hill, &c., and walked down the front of the ranks (which were drawn up in line to receive him), through the centre and down the rear; his Majesty and the Staff then took up their station in front of the Horse Guards. The troops then advanced and presented arms; they then formed into companies and marched past the King twice, first in slow and afterwards in quick time, wheeled into line again, and presented arum a second time, th en move d i nto sec . . . tions, and afterwards into a squire. His Majesty advanced into the centte and passed Udine the officers, addressing each separately in the most condescending manner, and afterwards admitted them to kiss hands. He then re sumed the situation he had previously occupied; the bat talions wheeled into line and unfixed bayonets; the first battalion then marched off the parade by St. James's Palace, the second battalion remained to form guards, and after two companies had escorted the colours along the line, composed of the remaining five, and taken their plice at the end, the battalion advanced and presented arms.— His Majesty afterwards proceeded on foot to the house of Earl Bathurst, where his Majesty breakfasted, and the soldiers quitted the parade to go to the different guard houses. The company of Life Guards on duty at the Horse Guards was drawn out during the inspection. The King wore a Field Marshal's uniform and a large star; the Duke of Cumberland was in the uniform of the Oxford Blues ; and Prince George was is a Hussar dress.

Fuller Maitland, of Henley, and at presept M.P. for Chipperduttn, having personally solicited the sUf frages of the " independent electors" of this borough, in opposition to Mr. Moberly, the present Member (the ho rimgh only returns one Member), the inhabitants are all on the qui vine, in the expectation of a spirited contest, and, from the feeling that has already m 'infested itself, and the declarations of both candidates "that money will not be a consideration," it is not likely these anticipations will be disappointed. Mr. Maitland is brought forward by the Corporation, not, they say, out of any poli tical hostility to their present Member ; " but we want," said one of their body, " to have some one to re present us that will do something for the town ;" and something for the town surely waists doing, when out of a population of rather more than seven thousand inhabit into nearly give thousand are receiving relief from the parish rates. It is generally thought that, notwithstanoing all the exertions of Mr. Maitland and the Corporation, the return of Mr. Maherly is certain, as it said he is sure of 160 votes, and there are not :300 persons in the borough entitled to the elective franchise. The greatest number ever polled by any one candidate was 135. Oti Saturday last both candidates paid a visit to their friends; they were escorted into the town by a ntunerous as semblage of persons, on horseback anti foot, accompanied by hands of music, flags, &c. &c. Dinners were provided at . all the principal inns for Mr. Maberlya fi lends; and Mr. Mait land and his supporters had a most sumptuous repast in the Town-ball. \Vines of the richest qualities flowed in profusion, and every delicacy of the season was provided. There are fifty-two public houses in the town, at the door of each, by order of Mr. Maitland, was placed a barrel of strong beer, and the passers by invited to partake ;—such treatment naturally roused the zeal of the "Independent Electors," anti they began to wax warm in the interests of their favourite candidates. Mr. Moberly and Mr. Mait land, in short addresses, inculcated the necessity of peace and orderly behaviour, but this wholesome advice had but little effect, for the parties coming into contact, a regular, or more properly speaking, an irregular battle en sued. For the preservation of the peace a posse of con , stables were sworn in, and who were armed with long ' staves. They ere called bare " mop-stick men." Souse of Mr. Maherly's party on horseback, giving offence to the mop-stick men of Mr. Maitland's, the latter put their wands of office into active use on the heads of the horses. This was the commencement of an affray, which for a time was carried on with considerable violence, and did not terminate without some bruises and loss of blood. Mr. Maitland has just published another address in which, after lamenting his unavoidable absence for a short time, he says, " alter the Assizes let our activity be resumed, and unceasingly continued in the good cause until the poll determines on which side the real strength of the independent electors be found." Mr. Maitland, it is said. expresses himself very sanguine of success, and says he does not mind twenty thousand pounds to obtain the ob ject of his ambition. Mr. Moberly, it is affirmed, is also equally careless of money. The contest will therefore no doubt prove an arduous one. We hear little respecting our county election; a dew words, however, occasionally drop which induce us to suppose that the Blues do not entirely de spair of finding a gentleman to start in that interest. The diversions of the turf, the balls, public dinners, &c. will engage the' attention of our Nobility and Gentry during the present week, which will be the cause of again assembling the aristocracy of the county, when prebably something may be concocted. —Essex Herald. Mr. Boyd retires from the representation of the borough of Lymington, in consequence of ill health. AR3IAGII.—The Hon. Henry Caulfield has retired from the contest, anti Colonel Berner has ceased to urge his pretensions. Mr. Charles Brownlow is therefore left only Lord Acheson for a colleague. 'BATH.--We have heard, on the best authority, that General Palmer will again be one of the repre sentatives of this his native city. BRIDPORT.—There was some expectation that another candidate would be started ; but in conse• quence of the success the present Members have met with, there does not now appear much proba bility that there will be a " third man." COVENTRY.—A contest is anticipated for this town, Lieutenant-Colonel Chatterton having been again solicited to stand, No opinion can be formed of the result. Mr. Fyler will be ret urne d ; and Mr. Ellice has met with much success in his canvass. The contest (if commenced) will be a warm one. CARLISLE.—Sir William Scott has withdrawn from the representation of this city, and the new candidate is P. H. Howard, Esq. CORK.—The Hon. Captain O'Bryen, R.N., bro ther of the Marquis of Thomond, his been thinking of starting for this city. CAVAN (County.)—Four candidates have an nounced themselves—Messrs.

CLARE.—A meeting has been held in the Parlia mentary-office, Stephen-street, of the friends of Mr. O'Connell and those anxious to secure the indepen• dence of the county Clare, when a resolution of thanks was passed to Mr. Steele, Mr. Cahill, Mr. Bridgman, and Mr. Lardner, the gentlemen com posing the deputation from Clare, for their patriotic couduct. A resolution was also proposed, requesting that the electors of Clare would not pledge them aelves to support any candidate until it was certainly known whether circumstances would enable Mr. O'Connell to contest the county. appears now certain that there will not be a fourth candidate for the representation of Dublin. Grattan is sure of his election, and the contest will be between the two corporators.— Dublin Morning Register. Essm—Mr. Bramston has declined to stand-for this county. Mr. Wellesley has been very success ful in his canvass. FIFE BOROUGHS...-it is just as we expected. However great may be the personal friendship be tween the houses of Raith and Dysart—however willing they may be to oblige each other, the con stituents of the Fife boroughs arc not made of the same stuff as many of the English and Irish corpo rations, to be handed over ut will, without even being consulted. No—;the " march of intellect" has made some progress here. After an experience of 24 years, the good people of Fife know the value of the services of their representative; for that long period, they have 'Teemed the utmost attention from him—their agreement has been of the most cordial kind—and sorry, indeed, would they be to lose him. Sir Ronald Ferguson's first announcement of his intention to retire was re ceived, as we knew it would be, with the deepest regret, and remonstrances for abandoning them; and it must have been a source of no small grati fication to him to be made sensible of the regard his constituents entertained for him. The result has been, we understand, that Sir Ronald, putting aside all personal motives, has yielded to their so licitations, and resolved to offer himself once more. Under these circumstances, we consider his re-elec tion as quite certain.—Caledonian Mercury. Guitrettsrsta.--The three candidates for the representation of this city are still strenuously push ieg their canvass, and from the confidence of 80-- cess which is expressed by each, a determined struggle may be anticipated. A report linvingbeen circulated that a coalition had been entered into be tween Colonel Webb and Mr. Cooper, the former gentleman has denied the truth of it in the most unequivocal tef ms.—Gloucezler Journal. GALIVAY.—Mr. Blake Foster, of Rosespaik, bro ther-in-law to Lord French, enters the list against Mr. James Daly at the approaching contest. lI ADDINOTON.---It was at first thought that there would not be any contest for this county, but it is now said that a very keen canvass is going on for. Lord John Hay on the one side and Mr. grant Settie, younger, of Balgone, on the other. Ft the Haddington district of boroughs there will be no change. lititmoßD.--The greatest excitement prevails here on account of the approaching election. The favourite candidate is decidedly Mr. Duncombe, and little or no doubt is entertained of his triumphant return. With regard to the two other candidates, Mr. Bulwer lies the greeter ehanoe of being elected, Us acting in a more independent rummer than Lord_ ingestrie s w h om the voters dislike on account of • the interest Which 'supports him, the Marquis of Salisbury's, from whose thraldom Mr. Duncombe - released them, by effecting his own election in 1826. Placards have been- posted about the town, it is un derstood, by direction of the latter gentleman's friends,intimating that a fund has been instituted for the purpose of relieving those who may suffer by any arbitrary measures on the part of their landlords for giving independent votes. The usual concomi tants of an election in other parts of Great Britain are not wanted here, to the surprise of many who knew the borough in former years. Broken heads, &c., seem to be anxiously sought for, and are as easily obtained. Those who are hostile to the " man of the people," as he (Nit. Duncombe) is termed, can scarcely show their faces. LEOMINSTER..-.-We hear that Mr Serjeant Lud low has declined the contest for Leominster, and that that borough is still open to the exertions of any gentleman inclined to oppose the present candi dates, Lord Huth= and Mr. Marshall. This is the third place for which Mr. Serjeant Ludlow has been announced. LiellFlELD.—Extended solicitations have been made on the part of the True Blue Club, for a can didate to oppose the Anon interest. Sir E. D. Scott, Sir G. Chetwynd, and Mr. Lister, of Ar mitage, have been applied to, but they declined. MsuroN.—There is little doubt that Mr. Leo nard and Mr. Q. Dick will be again returned with out opposition. MEATIL—On the arrival of Mr. O'Connell at Mayan, on Wednesday, he was met by an immense concourse of people. A list of the constituency of Meath .vas presented to him, indicating those whose votes were secured in his favour if he should stand for that county. It appeared by the showing that, allowing all the unascertained votes to be hostile, his return was unquestionable. Mr. O'Connell, however, declined standing until he was satisfied in the first instance that Lord Killeen's return was as certain us his own, and a Committee was formed to judge of that fact, who have been left at their la bours. On Sunday Mr. O'Connell proceeds to Ennis to explain to his constituents in Clare his rea sons for having declined to offer himself for that county. On that occasion it will be proved that his return was secure beyond dispute, if he did not feel himself debarred by his pledge to Major M'Namara from seeking to represent Clara at present. --Dublin Morning Register. NORTRUMBERLAND.---The Hon. H. T. Liddell has resigned his pretensions, on Wednesday, to the representation of Northumberland, on the ground that " he finds it impossible to pursue the course necessary to conduct a third struggle successfully, without incurring obligations to an indefinite ex tent," which he declines. Thus there will be no contest, cad Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Bell will be the sitting Members. P 001.13.—8. L. Lester, Esq. and the Hon. W. F. S. Ponsonby, the present representatives for Poole, have both been active in their canvass, but there appear to he some " lingering hopes" that a new candidate will come forward. SurFot.K.—Sir Henry Bunbury requests us to state, that he has not had, nor shall have, any com munication or connection with Sir 'l'. Gooch, or any other candidate whatever. STAFFORD (County).—E. J. Littleton, Esq., and Sir John Wrottesley, Burt., the present Members, have both announced their intention of again offering themselves for the representation of this opulent county. No other person is spoken of as likely to become a candidate. STAFFORD (Borough t ).—Mr. Benson declin es offering himself ag a i n or Stafford, on account of personal indisposition and family affliction, so that Stafford must have two new Members. No gee tlernan has yet declared himself, although several are spoken of as about to offer; amongst them are Mr. Campbell, the barrister, Mr. Foster Cunliff (the late Lord Crewe's son-in-law), Mr. Itnlph Bourne, of Hilderston-ball, and a gentleman from Birming ham or the neighbourhood is spoken of. WINCIIESTER.—The present Members for this city have been paying their respects to the free bur gesses already ; but the canvass excites very little bustle, as this ancient city, once the seat of civil and ecclesiastical supremacy, is at present a snug borough in the hands of the Marquis of Oamdos, who resides in the neighbourhood, and of Lady Mildmay, who lives in Winchester. Tire Marquis's nominee is Sir Edward'Hyde East, well known es a judicial reporter. Ludy Mildmay is represented by Mr. Mullet Mildmay, her second son. The two candidates were accompanied in their canvass by the Marquis, for the purpose, no doubt, of re minding the free burgesses that their elective fran chise was his property. This city is one of the nicest matters of the kind which could be desired by a repre sentation-monger; for although it has been for a long time, and is at present, as little liable toe contest ns the venerable Sarum in the next county, yet it costs the fair arid noble patrons nothing more than the expense incurred in periodically feeding the free burgesses at the 'White Hart, which house is, I sup pose, for this purpose preferred to the Black Swan, as exhibiting a more appropriate emblem of the constitutional purity and unsuspecting innocence of the parties who grace the monthly festival. When ever, which very rarely happens, the resident free burgesses exhibit any symptoms of insubordination, they are immediately overborne by manufacturing a quantum steeit of out burgesses, who, although they rejoice in the appellation of free, are well known to receive what is called th e i r freedom on the con dition expressly implied of supporting the joint inte rest. Lord Clumdos is an Alderman of the Corpo ration, and has served the office of Mayor once or twice. He is also the High Steward of the body, and in this manner can for the most part procure the freedom of the Corporation for whomsoever it pleases him to confer rt upon. The Mayor of the city lately issued a proclamation to the inhabitants, culling upon them to spend the day of his late Ma• jesty's funeral in a religious prisoner. his Worship, however, spent the day;or at least the inost agreeable part of it, with his brethren of the Corporation at one of the periodical election feedings which I have mentioned. The Mayor perhaps thought, that he could not not be more religiously occupied than in supporting the interest of Lord Chanties. The in telligent middle class of the people are much dip gusted with all these matters, and if the. Corporation don't speedily reform themselves from within, the people will iu all probability effectually reform them from without. YORKSHIRE.-.- Mae are five candidates in thu field for this county.

MANSION.HOUSE. Mr. Saunders, the Water•baililf of. the city of London, presented a petition to the LORD MAYOR from the fishermen of Leigh, who, with their families, consist of several hundreds, and are all ready to come up to wait upon his Lordship, if it should be thought necesiary. The petitioners complained of their being prevented from shrimping by the deputy Water-WA Mr. Green. The LORD MAYOR asked, how it came tOpassibat those poor men found it necessary to apply to him. The Water-bailiff could not . pretend to say by what motive the deputy at Leigh was influenced in preventing the petitioners from doing that with iut which they and their families must starve, or depent! upon parochial assistance. No direction had been sent to him to proceed to such an extremity. On the contrary, he had been expostulated- with upon the injuricus severity of his conduct in thus opposing the poor men; but expostulation or remonstrance was all in vain. Mr. Green persevered, until .the parish united to apply to his Lordship to restrain the deputy. The Loan MAYOR said that one of the old regu lations, directed that the fishermen should not shrimp until the let of September. So far the de puty was countenanced in the harsh conduct be had adopted; but the fishermen had always been allowed a great latitude :,their circumstances absolutely rc qutred that the" regulation should never be acted upon, and he (the Lord Mayor) was surprised that there had not been a greater show of humanity. The Water-bailiff said that the practice of shrimp ing at so early a period was certainly &ciliated to do some dis-service to the fishing, but by no meuns such as ought to be placed in competition with the state to which the fishermen would be reduced if they were prevented. Many years ago some re straint of the kind was put upoit the fishermen, and they assembled together and besieged the Mansion house by hundreds. The Lord Mayor of that dsy immediately granted the petition, observing that the petitioners were by far too numerous to be denied. The LORD MAYOR directed the Water-be tiff to issue orders at once to the deputy at Leigh not to throw any impediment in the way of the fishermen ; and to inform that officer, that if he hesitwedto comply, he should be made personally respon'ible to the Corporation. A few days ago a person who sells hams in the Old Bailey, was summoned by the LORD MAYOR, for hiving placeJ a large hogshead of hams on the pavement in the Old Bailey dur;ng.the Sessions.— Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, requested that therle fendant would remove the obstruction, but au in dignity was offered to him and the authority under which he acted, and very little attention was paid to his request. The LORI) MAYOR said that the least a person could do who offended was to act civilly, and fitted the defendant in a mitigated penalty. Sir PETER LAURIE, who who was present doting the examination, called the LORD MAYOR I 6 ttn -6011 to a nuisance in the Old Bailey, which often an• toyed the Judges presiding at trials. On Smith field market-day the drovers were sure to drive the flocks of sheep through the Old Bailey, and the dogs that attended the flocks made such rt noise us fre quently interrupted the trials. The LORD MAYOR observed that the nuisance was certainly a great one, but he feared he cook not remedy it. He regretted that he could not prevent the dogs from barkiOg when the Court was sitting. —(A laugh.) Mr. Wirier said that the drovers had a right to the sae of dogs. Sir PETER LAUItIR said, the last session Baron Garrow was greatly annoyed by the barking of the drovers' dogs, and declared that he could not get on with the busioess of the Court. The LORD MAvort—The drovers, I know have ► right to keep the dogs, but the dogs have no right :o bark when a Judge is sitting. L A M lIETII-STRE ET. Yesterday ti labourer in the Docks named Tomkins was brought before Messrs. WYATT, WALKIIIt, and IlAupwtox, charged with violently assaulting police constables 266 and 274, division K. The Magistrates tiaid he had acted badly, and he was therefore sentenced to pay a fine of Mc to the King, or be imprisoned one fortnight in the House of Correction. Tim LATE ACCIDENT ON THE THAMES. On Monday eveniagan inquest was beldam before T. STIRLING, Esq. and a respectable Jury, at the King's Arms Tavern, Mill wall, Poplar, on the re mains of John Abr a h am , age d 24 years, one of the unfortunate persons who was drowned on the tiny of his late Majesty's funeral. On Thursday evening last, Mr. Smith, a gentle man belonging to Messrs. Ilimbury's brewhouse, en gaged a waterman named lloneyma n' at Green wich, to t a k e himself and thre e f r i en d s to lam don. On their getting on band Iloneyman refu,ed to go with them, and notwithstanilicg that they threatened to punish him for the reloal, or for taking any other passengers on board, he admitted four other persons to get into his boat, making alto ther eight passengers. While coining up the river, Mr. Smith, observing the Here steam-vessel, ort return from town, approach theta at a othst rapid rate, desired the waterimui to take t are and keep clear of her; but he, it was startd by all the wit- Hoops, instead of keepingelotatto the shore, actually neared the steam-vessel, so that on passing there was not more than twenty yards between them. The swell produced by the steamer caused the boat to be tossed about a greet deal, and being heavily loaded the water soon began to rush in in great quantities Fat her stern, and in a few moments she swamped, and all were precipitated into the water, when the deceased and a fine young w oman , named Cameron, were drowned, and several of the others narrowly escaped with life. Ail the witnesses attributed the accident to the neg/igence of the Waterman in ap prom:hinge tots near the steamer, and not keeping close to the shore. The .Jury retuned verrEet.... 6 ' rim the metuti. choly accident had been occasioned by the extrettisly rapid and dangerous rate at which the steartt.testei was proeectlinv at the time, for which they levy a leodand of 304; and they, at the sanui time, eon. sifter the, conduct of the watertuvo.
