It appeared that the former, who are employed by Mr. FLOWER, a baige-owner, as excava tors, have been in the habit of neglecting their work, and the latter being hired in their place, gave great offence.— They jumped into the barge in which the Irish were work ing, and began beating them with sticks. One man was so dreadfully injured, that he is not expected to survive.-- They were yesterday held to bail at Union-hall. POLICE INTELLIC4ENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a woman, named Eleanor Faulkner, was brought before the LORD MAYon, charged with having committed a robbery in 1819. Edward Parr was a furniture-broker, and in 1819 rented the house No 4. St. Mary-axe, which he fur nished. His wife hired the prisoner to attend to the visitors, but after a lapse of eight or nine days he found that she had departed, and that she had taken away every stick of the furniture. He applied to the police upon the subject, but could not find her. Two years passed away before he had any intelli gence about her, and then he found her in a house ;n Sutton-street, Soho, and asked her about his fur niture. She said the question was an unfair one. Witness then left the house, and on his return she- 1 \vas denied to him. He looked and looked, but until Saturday last he never laid eyes upon her. Mr. Hobler—Why (lid you not get her appre hended at once, instead of waiting for elevera years? Purr had been prevented from doing so by an accu mulation of writs and executions, by which he be came a tenant of Whitecross-street prison. At last he got out of prison, and he again went to Sutton street, and caused the prisoner to be taken into custody. Mr. Butler, who attended on the part of the pri soner, asked Mr. Parr who took the house for him, and what description of house it was ?--He said that his wife's friend took it for I►im, and that it was a very good house, as houses usually go. Mr. Hobler—But for what purpose is it used ; is it a house to which ladies and gentlemen indiscrimi nately resort ? Parr—lt's a lodging-house, and I get the most respectable persons I can for lodge's. The LORD MAYOR—Aye, aye, we knowwhat sort of a house it is. Mr. Butler—Pray how much rent did you pay . Witness—None, because the robbery settled the whole matter. They locked me up, and whenever I got out they were at me aga'n, so the moment I took the benefit of the Insolvent Act, which I did to avoid being constantly seized, I got her grabbed. Mr. Nobler—Pray how was your house fur nished ? Parr—With beds and sofas. They ar rested me six times, and I couldn't stand it. A barrister, who attended for the prosecution, stated, that the system of prevention adopted by throwing a man into prison, whenever he was dis posed to do justice upon those who were plundering him, had totally ruined his client, who was an in dustrious poor man. Mr. Butler said the poor man was very indus trious, and his trade showed it. The fact was, Mr. Parr was one of the best known brothel-keepers in London, and his industry in his profession had already acquired for him the ',Action of penalties to the amount of 5001. and eighteen months' im prisonment in gaol. For the purpose of conducting his establishment %.ith the more propriety, for a lady was indispensable in houses of the kind, he had entered into partnership with the prisoner, and paid some pecuniary differences to her at last by the In solvent Act. The prosecutor's counsel urged the necessity of committing the woman, who had caused his client to be arrested merely to give her case the semblance of integrity. He could, he said, prove that the goods were sold at her instance. The LORD MAYOR said the long lapse of time since the alleged offence was committed, and the practicability of apprehending the prisoner when what was called the robbery took place, were facts that completely put the matter out of his power. His Lordship then discharged the prisoner, who said site should be ready, in the event of an indict ment, to appear. A young man of mild appearance, named Corned, was brought up, charged with having broken a man's leg in a pugilistic affair on the preceding night. The LORD MAYOR o►dered that the defendant should be confined in Giltspur Compter until a favourable account of the injured man be received at the Justice-room. GUILDHALL. A well-dressed man named John Wilson, who has the reputation with the City police of being a " dividend hunter," (one who Watches for and hustles infirm persons who have received money at the Bank) was charged with stealing a purse con taining l 1/., between four and five o'clock on Satur day afternoon, in Chancery-lane. The first witness, Miss Ann Reed, of Southamp ton-row, Camberwell, kissing the New Testament with seeming hesitation, Sir P. LAURIE said he could not help observing that she had kissed the book reluctantly. He was sure she would not kiss her sweetheart so.—(A laugh.) Miss Reed blushed deeply, faltered, and was so confused, that to enable her to recover, it became necessary to pass on to the next witness, her mother, who said that having received a cheque in payment of an annuity, she came with her daughter to Messrs. Praed's, in Fleet-street, and forgetting the precise address, she had occasion to examine the cheque in the street, at the end of Bell-yard, when the daughter detected some man looking over her shoulder at it. However, the cheque was cashed, and the purse was deposited in a small bag which her daughter carried hanging from her arm. In passing through Chancery-lane, they observed three or four men looking at the picture-shop at the end of Cursitor-street, and they were walking quietly by, when they were suddenly hustled by a crowd of men. Witness was pressed so close that she was about to cry out, but she was instantly released, and her daughter exclaimed that the bottom of the bag had been cut and the purse stolen. A fruit•woman named Green 'Anted out the prisoner as being the thief, and he was conveyed by a stranger to a public house in Cursitor-street. He was searched without success; but while the landlady was condoling with witness on her loss, she observed the purse (with the money) lying upon a deal table in the passage by the bar, and was very happy at the discovery. Miss Reed corroborated her mother's statement, but had no recollection of seeing the prisoner till the fruit-woman said he was the thief. The Alderman remanded the prisoner till Saturday BOW-STREET. Yesterday Sir R. BIRNIE received a letter from Sir George Rose, stating that he had read with great pain an account in the Times of the death of five poor haymakers, who, it appeared, had perished through starvation. He wished to know if any place had been fixed upon where subscriptions could be received for these poor fellows, who were still wan dering in the outskirts of the metropolis in a state of destitution, and the letter concluded by request ing Sir Richard to take charge of 71. 101., which had been subscribed by him (Sir G. Rose) and some members of his family, for the relief of the unfor tunate men. Sir R. BIRNIE returned an answer, saying, that he would carry into effect the wishes of the bene volent donors by sending half of the sum forwarded to Highgate, and the other half to Acton, in the neighbourhood of which . places he knew that a great number of poor haymakers were waiting for work. James Tallow was charged with having in his possession two steel punches, beating the King's head, being certain marks used by the Commission ers of Stamps, and also the Goldsmiths' Company, to denote the payment of the duty on gold and sil ver plate. Sir R. BIRNIE remanded the prisoner, with the understanding that on a future day additional evi dence should be produced against him. Mr. John Yeates, a surgeon, residing at No. 22, Torrington-square, appeared before Mr. MiNstium., in the course of the day, for the purpose of causing Mr John Colethread, a surgeon also, to be bound in recognizances to keep the peace, he having written to him (Mr. Yeates) a letter, with a view to pro voke him to fight a duel. Mr. MINSRULL asked to see the letter, and upon its having been handed to him, desired the clerk to read it aloud. The letter which was dated June 19, complained of an " ungentlemanlike and ungracious attack " made by Mr. Yeates upon Mrs. Colethread during his (Mr. Colethread's) absence from home, and con cluded by intimating that a friend should call upon Mr. Yeates. Mr. Aim Hun asked Mr. Yeates if he was of opinion that this letter %vas intended as a challenge ? —Mr. Yeates replied that the letter was prepara tory to a challenge. Ile certainly was of opinion that such was the objt et of the writer. A solicitor who appeared on behalf of Mr. Cole thread, said that his client and Mr. Yeates had been in partnership, but owing to some disagreements, the nature of which could not with propriety be ex plained in that place, the connexion was dissolved. With respect to the immediate cause of quarrel, his client had received a letter from Mr. Yeates prior to the date of the one which he had sent, and which the Magistrate would perceive was equally, if not more, calculated to provoke a breach of the peace than the one which had been read. The letter of Mr. Yeates, bearing date the 17th of June, was then read by Mr. MINSHULL, who ob served that the tendency of both letters was alike. The parties, it appeared, had differed about some disputed accounts, and as they appeared to be equally exasperated, he should call upon both gentlemen to find sureties to keep the peace towards all his Ma jesty's subjects, and particularly towards each other, for the space of one year. The gentlemen having found the required bail, left the office, accompanied by their mutual friends. A lad, about 16 years of age, named John Rooney, was charged capitally with having been found at large, without any lawful mese, before the expiration of the term for which he had been transported. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. LAMBETH-STREET. A lady, named Haddon, residing at No. 3, Savile row, Mile-end-road, yesterday came to this office, and made the following application to the sitting Magistrate,. Mr. HARDWICK. The lady stated that a day or two since she found that the boxes of one of her daughters, a young lady about 18 years of age, were packed up in a manner to induce her to believe that they were in. tended to be carried away. In order to prevent this she locked them up in a closet, and soon after went out, and upon her return she was informed by one of her servants that her daughter, immediately after she was gone, came in, and finding that her boxes were locked up, she went out again, and pro cured a number of keys, one of which opened the closet. She then took her boxes away, and she (applicant) had since discovered that her daughter had gone to the house of a chemist and druggist, likewise situate in the Mile-end-road, and about 200 yards from her (applicant's) house. The object of the present application was not so much to recover her daughter, but to reclaim her clothes; her daugh ter's recovery would be a secondary consideration. Mr. HARDWICK said, the only course to be pur sued was either to grant a warrant to apprehend the young lady on a charge of felony, or else by mild measures to endeavour to recover the property. A gentleman who accompanied the lady was afraid, from the temper of the young lady, that mild measures would be of no avail. Mr. HARDWICK said his only alternative would be to order the young lady to be apprehended ; but he advised the applicant to pause before she decided on pursuing such a step, for, were her daughter to be brought to a public office, charged with felony, the stigma might rest with her for life. He thought it would be better for some person to go to her first, and see what she was inclined to do. The applicant assenting to this measure, Miller, the chief officer of this establishment, was directed by the Magistrate to go to the young lady, and in form her of her mother's application, and to ad‘i(e her, fur her own sake, to return the property. HATrON-GARDEN, A young man, of the name of Edward Stock, wa< yesterday finally examined on a charge of stealing a silver watch, belonging to William Morton, tailor, of Bath-street, Clerkenwell, and fully committed for trial. WALLACE AND THE ENGLISH PRIZE- FIGHTER, A report had circulated about the country, that on a day named, a celebrated English prize fighter would exhibit on the esplanade at Ayr, as a general challenger. An occurrence of this kind had powerful attractions, in an age when every man required to know something of the use of a sword. Scots, as well as English, be came deeply interested as the day of exhibition drew on ; and 'Wallace, instigated partly by cii• riosity, and partly by a wish to acquire informa tion respecting the numbers and the motions of his enemies, determined to be present. Having equipped himself and fifteen of his companions with dresses which concealed their habergeons, he proceeded to the scene of action. Their horses they left in a place of safety outside the town, and then made their entry from different directions, in such numbers as would not attract the notice of their enemies. In the midst of the crowd collected to witness t h e feats of the English champion, Wallace s t o od, with his face partially c oncea l e d i n hi s cloak, to all appearance an unconcerned specta tor, till he saw several of his countrymen, who had been baffled by the superior dexterity of their more practised antagonist, afterwards scoffed at, and otherwise insulted by the English sol diery. The feelings which this conduct excited were displayed on the fine expressive counte nance of our hero, in such a manner as did not escape the notice of the victor; and the latter, flushed with his success, invited him to a trial of his skill.' 'Wallace readily accepted the chal lenge ; and drawing his sword, prepared for the onset. The ease and grace with which he handled his weapon soon convinced the English that their " bukler-player" had at last engaged in a perilous enterprise. _His art and agility appeared unavailing against the cool self possession of the Scot, who, after a few passes, became the assailant; and a blow which descended with the rapidity of lightning, laid the arrogant gladiator dealr at his feet. This unexpected interruption of their amuse ment irritated the English ; but when they discovered, in the successful combatant, the bold and audacious outlaw with whom they had been so lately engaged, they eagerly crowded round, and endeavoured to prevent his escape. Unap palled by the numbers with whom he was en vironed, he dealt his blows in all directions with unerring and -deadly effect, while his followers,. drawing their swords, attacked those who were nearest them with a fury that spread consterna tion and uproar through the whole assemblage. The English, finding themselves assailed from so many quarters, conceived that they were sur rounded by a multitude of enemies. Wallace, always first in the place of danger, according to the homely, but expressive phraseology of Blind Harry, " Gret rozome" about him " maid ;" and the enemy had already begun to give way, when an additional force from the castle made its appearance. The battle was now re newed with redoubled fury on both sides ; and the capture of our hero being the prin cipal object in view, he became the subject of their most inveterate 'hostility. The few, how ever, who ventured within his reach, soon paid the forfeit of their temerity. Having collected his companions in a body, he fearlessly advanced into the centre of the English, diminishing their numbers with every stroke of his broadsword, while his followers pressed with determined fero city upon those who attempted to intercept him. From the increasing number of his opponents, PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY MURDO YOUNG, 412 THIL SUN OFFICE, 112, STAMM, LONDON. he at last became apprehensive of having his re , treat cut off, if the unequal contest were much longer protracted. Placing himself, therefore, in front of the battle he ordered them to make the best of their way, while he endeavoured to prevent the enemy from harassing their rear. By incredible exertions, they at last regained their post at the outside of the town ; and, mounting their horses, they were soon lost to their pursu ers amid the shades of Laglane woods, leaving about thirty of the English, among whom were three knights belonging to Northumberland, dead upon the streets of Ayr.—Constable's Miscellany. EXECUTION OF THE REGENT MORTON. It is remarked by historians that Morton, with the credulity of that age, had an anxious recollection of an ancient prophecy, which de clared " that the bloody heart should fall by the mouth of Arran." This the Regent interpreted to mean the downfall of the Douglases, designed as was usual in such vaticinations by their well known cognizance, and that by means of an Earl of Arran. This, it is said, was the reason for pressing the unfortunate family of Hamilton, who were the legitimate proprietors of that title, almost to their total destruction. When, there fore, he heard that the Earldom of Arran was conferred upon his accuser Stewart, he replied, with a surprised and desponding expression," Is it even so ? then I know what I must expect.". When Morton was brought to his trial at Edinburgh, large bodies of men were drawn up in different parts of the city to overawe the friends of the accused. The records of the trial are lost, but there is evidence that the assize consisted in many instances of the Earl's per sonal enemies; and that, although he challenged them on that score, his remonstrances were not attended to. His servants were also put to the torture in no common manner; for Arran thought it necessary, after the Earl's execution, to sue out an immunity for the violence to which they had been subjected. When Morton heard the indictment read he did not show surprise or emotion ; but when the verdict of the jury brought him in guilty of con,. cealing, or being art and part in the murder of Henry Darnley, he repeated, with conaiderable vehemence, " Art and part ! art and part ! God knows it is not so." In his conference with the clergy he more fully explained what he meant by this explanation. He confessed to them that upon his (Morton's) return from England after his exile, for accession to Rizzio's death, the Earl of Bothwell had proposed to him, both personally and through the medium of his kinsman Archibald Douglas, to be concerned -in the death of Darnley, assuring him it was a deed which had the Queen's approbation. Morton stated that he replied to this proposal, " that having so lately been re- 7 leased from a state of exile, he would not be implicated in such an important matter unless Bothwell would produce to him the Queen's sign -manual in warrant of the deed."—" The Earl of Bothwell," he said, " promised to pro duce him such an assurance, but never did so, and therefore he remained a stranger to the conspiracy ; excepting that he knew generally that such an action was meditated by Bothwell and others." The condemned Earl was naturally asked by his reverend visitors why, having become privy to so horrible a conspiracy, he did not take mea sures for unfolding the plot and preventing he execution. "To whom," replied the Earl; " should I have made the discovery ? If to the Queen, she was herself at the bottom of the deadly plot ; if to Lethington, or, to other Statesmen of the time, they were accomplices to the execution ; if to Darnley, he was a creature of so weak and fickle a temper, that he would have communicated it to his wife, and in any case I should have been inevitably ruined." Thus far the apology seems reasonable, though it gives us a horrible idea of the Court and Councils of Scotland at the time. But Morton had less to answer when his ghostly assistants demanded of him why he con,. tinned to show friendship and favour to Archi bald Douglas, who had acted on this occasion as the confidant of Bothwell, and was generally averred to have been personally present at the murder, and whom, notwithstanding, he created a Judge of the Court of Session ? Nor was any satisfaotory reply, which could be consistent with Morton's pretended abhorrence of the tragedy of the Kirk of Field, ever returned to this question.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cy clopcedia.
