IRISH AND ENGLISH GENTRY.-It will, we be lieve, be found that the virtues of the higher classes are al ways in the ratio of the independence of the rest of the com munity. When a traveller perceives in any country the gentry well behaved, he may safely pronounce that country to be tolerably well governed. In these kingdoms the gentry will be found to rise or fall in character with the ne cessity for their being on good terms with their inferiors. No man in his senses for instance, would think of instituting a comparison between the Irish and the English gentry. The former are generally overbearing and harsh, and have a code of morality of their own, in which, if we may rely on the authority of the evidence in the Parliamentary Report on the manner in which the duty of sheriffs is performed in Ireland, payment of debts and performance of obligations are not certainly included. The consequence of entrusting power to an ascendancy has been that the ascendancy has been exempted from dependence on the good opinion of the great body of the people.—Morning Chronicle. Monday morning, between one and two o'clock, the following fatal occurrence took place at the Hare and Hounds, Buckeridge-street, St. Giles's :—lt appears from the statement of a number of females who witnessed the melancholy occurrence, that Margaret Tate, a woman be tween 40 and 50 years of age, residing in Buckeridge street (accompanied by her daughter, a girl 16 years of age), entered a large public room which is appropriated as a public kitchen for the accommodation of persons fre quenting that part of the neighbouring. After they had been sitting in the room some length of time drinking, an altercation arose between the elder Tate and another fe male ; blows were the consequence. The unfortunate girl interfered, for the purpose of taking her mother away, when she was suddenly seized round the waist by her mother, and thrown with tremendous violence to the ground. In falling she struck the back part of her head against one of the forms, which caused the death of the unfortunate girl. Surgical assistance was promptly pro cured, but all endeavours to restore animation proved in effectual. The deceased possessed remarkable muscular power, and was famed amongst her companions in that neighbourhood for her courage. The body lies for an in quest, and the mother was conveyed to the station-house, to await the result of the inquest. TILE CALENDAR.—The Roman calendar, and from which ours is borrowed, was composed by Romilius, who made the year consist of 304 days. Numa Pompilius corrected his error, by making it consist of 12 lunar months, of 30 and 29 days alternately, which made 354 days, but being fond of an odd number, he added one day more, which made it 355 days ; and that the civil year might equal the sun's motion, he added a month every second year. Julius Caesar, as a further improvement, made the year consist of 365 days, and left the six hours to form a day, at the end of every fourth year, which was added to the month of February. This calendar was called the Julian, and the old style, in opposition to the new style in troduced by Gregory XIII., who finding the Julian gone too forward, cut off ten days from the calendar, and to remedy this defect for the future, left out one bissextile day every one hundred years, making every fourth hundred a leap year. By Act of Parliament, to remedy the incon veniencies arising from the differences of style, this kingdom adopted the Gregorian or new style, by leaving out 11 days of the month of September, to the year 1752. The solar year consists of 365 days, 6 hours, and almost 10 minutes. The lunar is less by 11 days, and consists exactly of 354 days, S hours, and 48 minutes, and is the year now used by the Turks. The civil year, and by which each nation con trive to compute time, generally consists of whole days. The common civil year consists of 365 days, and the bissex tile, or leap year, of 366 days, making one day more than the common, and which is called the intercalary day. A Dr. Munch has obtained from France, and is about to lay befell., the world, eighty-four letters from the Princesses Leonora and Lucretia of Este, to their mother, which have never yet been published. Other letters be tween members of the same family have been discovered, and it is expected that the publication of them will throw great light on the history of 'lasso and the house of Este KENSINGTON PETTY SESSIONS. ASSAULT ON A YOUNG FEMALE BY A BARRISTER.— At the evening sitting of the Magistrates at this office on Monday, a gentleman of respectable appearance appeared before Messrs. Codd and Barlow, the sitting Magistrates, to answer a charge of assault preferred against him by a young female named Martha Halford, residing in Smith street, Chelsea. The defendant was taken into custody by police consta ble Hoare, T 118, about three o'clock on Sunday morn ing, and conveyed to the station-house at Kensington. During the night he was bailed ; but not appearing previous to the rising of the Bench on Monday morning the case was postponed until the evening sitting. On the defendant, who was accompanied by a number of his friends, being placed at the bar, the complainant was called but did not appear. Hoare then stated that while on duty, about 3 o'clock on Sunday morning, near Brompton-crescent, he heard loud screams in that direction. On proceeding to the spot he found the defendant and another struggling with three young females—one about twenty years of age, named Martha Halford, and her two sisters, named Jane and Sarah, of the respective ages of fifteen and sixteen years. Miss Sarah Halford was bleeding at the mouth, and, charging the defendant with having struck her, he took him into custody, and conveyed him to the station house. On their arrival the females stated that, having been detained late at a relative's, stoning figs, they were proceeding home, when, while passing through Brumpton crescent, the defendant and Mr. Morley, jun., accosted them. The defendant attempted to take liberties with Miss Martha Halford, who, screaming out, her two sisters flew to her rescue, when he knocked Miss Sarah down. Mr. Conn—Did the defendant deny her statement?- -Hoare—He did not exactly deny it, but said he was struck first, and in the scuffle Miss Halford fell down. The defendant, in his defence, said he had suffered nume rous blows from all the three females before he struck either of them. He then struck only one of them in the face. Mr. CODD—Were you drunk ? Defendant—Yes, of course. Mr. Cr PD—You are, of course, aware that, by not attend ing this morning, you have forfeited your bail. Defendant —I trust, gentlemen, you will look over that, on the score of the inclemency of the weather. Mr. CODD—You have rendered yourself liable to a fine of 51. for the assault, and to other penalties for rioting in the public streets at three o'clock on a Sunday morning, which, to a person of your appearance, is very discreditable. You have also rendered yourself liable to a fine of five shil lings for being drunk. lam sorry to say the law makes no difference in that respect between a nobleman and a labourer ; but a Bill will be brought forward in the next session of Parliament, which will impose a much higher fine on persons of respectability. You are fined five shillings, and if you contribute a sovereign to the office poor-box we shall, pro bably, on your agreeing to that arrangement, say nothing more in respect of the alleged assault. The defendant immediately handed over the twenty-five shillings, and was then discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. James Macdonald and Wm. Herrick were brought up charged by Thompson, 21 E. division, with the following outrage. On Monday afternoon last, the prisoners, with with a notorious gang of thieves, assembled near Bedford Chapel, Charlotte-street, Bloomsbury, and commenced pelting passengers with snow balls, and several persons were robbed. Witness, knowing the prisoners to be thieves, took them into custody, on which he was surrounded by about fifty ruffians, who beat and kicked him in an unmer ciful manner, until: the arrival of other officers, who ren dered him assistance, and secured the prisoners. He was so severely injured that he was obliged to have medical as sistance. The prisoners were committed to the House of Correction and hard labour for three months. On Monday evening a respectable looking young wo man was brought before Mr. LAING in the custody of ser geant Russell of the N. division, charged with having de serted her illegitimate child, and leaving it at Islington Workhouse. The prisoner, subsequently to the passing of the Poor Law Bill, became pregnant by a respectable tradesman, residing at Islington, and was delivered of the child. The father did not deny the fact, but refused to render her any assistance, and being in indigent circum stances, she did not know what to do to support herself, let alone the child, and the parish refusing her relief, she resolved on leaving it at the workhouse. The MAGISTRATE said it was out of his power to order her relief; but if the father of the child, knowing it to be his offspring, refused to grant it subsistence, he was not deserving the name of a man, and ought to be scouted out of all respectable society. He inquired her settlemant ? The prisoner replied that she was born in Scotland. The child was born in St. Luke's parish, and the father resided in Islington. The MAGISTRATE suggested that she ought to be passed to Scotland. The prisoner said that her case was very bad. She was connected with a respectable family, and she wished to conceal her misfortune, but she imprudently allowed fa vours to the father of her child under the impression that he would be her future protector. If she went to Scotland she would be disgraced and ruined in the eyes of her family for ever. The MAGISTRATE would discharge her, and directed the parish officers to pursue necessary steps to compel the fa ther to allow something for the support of the child, which they pledged themselves to do, and the prisoner accom panied them from the office.

A little woman, named Hannah Garland, has been more than once at this office, to ask Mr. CHAMBERS to assist her in recovering her infant, which she had disposed of in the following extraordinary manner :—About three months ago she was delivered of an illegitimate male child, at No. 25, Great St. Andrew's-street, Seven Dials. When the infant was six weeks or two months old an application was made to her by a midwife, named Findlay, to sell her child. She agreed to do so, and in a day or two afterwards the sum agreed upon was given to her, and the child was taken away. Having repented of her unnatural conduct, she went to the midwife, and desired to have her child again. She was told that the name and address of the purchaser were not known, and that no assistance could be given her in tracing out the destination of her child. Under these circumstances she had gone to the parish officers, and to the different police offices, to engage assistance in her search, but she had not been enabled to interest any one in her behalf. When Mr. CHAMBERS heard the woman's statement he recommended the parties who had been instrumental in disposing of the child to give her all the assistance they could in her attempt to find out the lady who had bought it. The parties promised to do so, and left the office. Yesterday they again came before Mr. Chambers, and stated that their search had been unsuccessful. The mo ther was then called in, and told that nothing more could be done for her. She appeared to be greatly distressed at the intelligence, but the persons present roundly taxed her with dissimulation, and asserted that her object was to ob tain money from the present possessor of the child. Mr. CHAMBERS remarked that a woman who could.make such a disgraceful bargain could not possess much real feeling. She had sold her child for 21., and he could not but think that the child was in a better situatign, with the individual who bought it, than it would be in the care of such a mother. Mr. CHAMBERS inquired who the father was? The MAGISTRATE was told that it was the reputed child of a potboy at a wine vaults in Tottenham-court-road, who had, as reported, recently come into the possession of some property. The age of the potboy was 18 or 19, and that of the mother about 38. The mother said she was not more than 30 years old. A person present told the Magistrate this was not the first transaction of the kind in which the complainant had been concerned. The woman admitted she bad had an illegitimate child before the one she now sought to regain, but she denied having disposed of it as stated. It was at present taken care of by her mother. Mr. CHAMBERS said he had done all he could in the matter, and the parties retired. The affair, which has for some time been known in the neighbourhood, has created what is termed a" sensation." The gossips of the place report that as soon as the child was sold it was taken away in great splendour by its pur chaser. The object of the purchase is whispered to con cern property to some extent, which, in default of " heirs male," would lapse to a distant branch of the same family. • .lames Mealier, her former husband, William Goode, being still living. When the first husband made application to the Magis trates at this office, requesting that his wife might be takers into custody, he stated that about the time of the second marriage he had drank pretty freely with the parties : and almost immediately after became so ill that he was obliged to be removed to the hospital ship off Greenwich, and it was the opinion of the medical men on board that some de leterious matter had been administered to him. He, how ever, after some time recovered so as to be discharged.. On the present occasion he (the husband), who is a most singular-looking little creature, and apparently old enough to be the grandfather of the prisoner, merely deposed to having been married to the prisoner about six years ago, at the parish church of Christchurch, Spitalfields. Charles Brumley deposed to having been present at the first marriage, and to having known both parties before and after their marriage. Robert Cole, :decent-looking man., the father of the pri soner, also had been present at the marriage of his daughter Mary Ann with the prosecutor, Wm. Goodall, in Spital field's Church. Some time ago his sori-;n-law, William Goodall, brought home to his house a young man, a ship mate of his, named Meacher, who remained there for some considerable time. The prosecutor was very inattentive to his wife, and the young man Meacher, saying he would marry her, asked him (witness) to accompany hint for that purpose. He did so, and, being under the influence of li quor at the time, went with them to Stepney Church, wl;ere they were married, the first husband, William Goodall, be ing at the time at home in their house. The certificates of both marriages were here produced, and the prisoner, who did not deny the offence, but merely said that her first husband was very careless and inatten tive to her, was fully committed to Newgate to take her trial at the ensuing session. The Rev. Mr. James, the Curate of Stepney, who had performed the second ceremony of marriage, and who hap pened to be in the office on the present occasion, here begged to say a word in reference to the statement of the prisoner's father, namely, that he was under the influence of liquor when he accompanied his daughter and her second husband to the church to be married. He (Mr. James) could only say that neither himself nor his other daughter, who had also been with the parties when the ceremony took place, appeared to be in the least degree affected by liquor, for had they been, it was by no means likely that he, as a Clergyman of the Church of England, would permit them to sign the registry of marriage. LAMBETH- STREET. Yesterday Mary Ann Goodall, a very youthful-looking female, was brought before Messrs. HARDWICK and COMBES, for final examination, on a charge of bigamy, in having intermarried with a young man, a sailor, named :C. 23. Average. 38 6 17 0 14 1 16 6 UNION-HALL. William Pinner, a stout young man, well known to the police, was charged with kn oc ki ng d ow n and robbing Mr. Peter Ludwell, of Nelson-street, Bermondsey. The com plainant, about half-past eleven o'clock on the preceding night, as he was going home, on passing. the Observatory in Nelson-street, was suddenly attacked by two men. The prisoner came in front of him, and thrust his hands into his trousers' pocket, while his associate pinioned the com plainant by both the arms, and while held in th:s manner they robbed him of his purse, containing a sovereigo and a quantity of silver, amongst which were three half crown pieces. The moment the man behind let go his arms:- he (complainant) was knocked down by the prisoner, when both of them ran off. The prisoner, who denied the offence, was committed. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday George Ballen, fames Wells, a weaver, and Daniel Wild, a twine-spinner, were placed at the bar, be fore Messrs. BROUGHTON and GROVE, charged, the first with causing a breach of the peace, by flinging snow-balls in the King's highway, and the two latter in resisting the police in the execution of their duty. The charge was en- , tered into on Monday night by Mr. BROUGHTON, when, after an investigation of about two hours, as, in the opinion of the Magistrate, there appeared to be a great remissness on the part of the police, in consequence of there not being a sufficient force to quell the riot and disturbance, which had continued for above two hours, he gave orders that the superintendents of the two divisions of the district should. be directed to attend that day, for the purpose of offering an explanation. Superintendents Pearce, of the H, and Macie, of the G, divisions of police, accordingly attended yesterday. Mr. BROUGHTON having stated the object for which he had called them, caused the evidence to be repeated. Mr. Robert Parker, potatoe merchant, No. 138, Shore ditch, about half-past one, on Monday afternoon, saw seve ral persons collected, who were flinging snowballs at gen tlemen's carriages, at omnibusses, and every sort of vehicle that was passing through Shoreditch ; and finding it get ting to an alarming extent, as in a short time near 1,000 persons were in the street, and who were attacking persons in a most audacious manner, he told, a policeman that he ought to stop it. The policeman said it was of no use for him to interfere against so many. Several windows had been broken, when, as fears were raised that the thieves would commit some daring acts of robbery, the shops got gradually shut up, and an end was put to business, while persons were placed to turn all passengers and vehicles down the bye streets. One gentleman was knocked off his horse, and some vagabonds made an attempt to take it from him. By this time Sergeant Avery, G 5, had ar rived, and attempted to take a man into custody, in doing which he was knocked down and nearly killed. Witness asked Avery if he should go to the station-house for some assistance. Avery said that he would be much obliged if he would. Witness then went there in his cart and gal loped all the way. He brought back two policemen. Mr. George White, grocer, No. 147, Shoreditch, while he was at dinner, about two o'clock, heard the hurrahs of the people. On reaching his door he found the street thronged with men, women and children, and snow balls were flying in all directions. An omnibus or a man on horseback was speedily covered with snow. Seeing his neighbours shut up their shops he followed their example. The confusion lasted till dark. Police constable G 203, who was on duty in Shoreditch, said that he once attempted to take a man into custody, when he was knocked down, and three or four men got on his body. The prisoners brought evidence to character, when George Ballen was held to bail to answer the charge at the sessions. James Wells was fined 10s., or a fortnight's im prisonment, and David Wild was fined 20s. or one month's imprisonment. The inquiry lasted several hours. It is a singular and mortifying fact that, in the same column in which we have had to record the distribution of Christmas cheer to felons and other inmates of prisons, we have had to announce its denial to the poor in work houses. ALARMING AND DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Yester day morning, shortly after one o'clock, a most destructive fire broke out in the lower part of the premises of Mrs. Tol frey, stay-maker, No. 30, Blackman -street, Southwark. The fire was first discovered by one of the L division of police, who immediately gave the alarm, and aroused the inmates ; but from a considerable period elapsing before he could awake the persons residing on the premises, the lower part of the house was in one entire body of flames, and they were compelled to effect their escape by crawling oa the parapet on the top of the house, with only their night dresses on. Messengers were immediately despatched to the different engine stations in the metropolis, and in a short space of time an engine from the Southwark-bridge station arrived on the spot and was instantly got into operation, and was soon followed by those from the Waterloo-road station, Watling-street, Farringdon-street, and likewise those belonging to the West of England Fire Office. The supply of water was most bountiful, and sufficient to sup ply all the engines, fourteen in number ; but, notwith standing the hydraulic force from the above, the flames soon communicated to the houses of Mr. Hellwell, confectioner, and Mr. Jones, straw-bonnet manufacturer, adjoining, and for some considerable period the destruction of the three seemed inevitable, but, owing to the arduous exertions of the firemen and police, they were saved. The house from whence the fire commenced, with the entire stock, furni ture, &c., were entirely consumed. From the best infor mation that could be gleaned yesterday it would appear that the fire was occasioned by an escape of gas, which ignited by the kitchen fire. Whether the above parties were insured or not, could not be ascertained. There were on the spot during the raging of the fire a large body of the L division of police, under the superintendence of Mr. Grinsell, who merit the highest praise for their con duct, and likewise in preventing various robberies, as there was a numerous party of the light-fingered gentry on the ground. No lives were lost. CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Monday an inquisition was taken before Mr. Higgs, at the Noel's Arms, Noel street, Soho, on the body of Mr. John Winkstehd, aged 22, a book-binder, residing in Berwick-street.

He was at tended by a medical gentleman of the name of Elwyn, who informed his relatives that he would not be able to survive long unless he altered his conduct. Latterly his brain ap peared so affected that he could not bear even the tick of his watch in bed, and he used often to start in his sleep, declaring that there were persons in the room. Last Friday night he came home, and complained of not being well. He never left his house after that. On Saturday night he continued no better.
