" Sketches by Dr. Bowring of the Mahomedan and other Oriental Religions," will be read with much in terest by all who wish to know the present state of the Jews —to whom the article refers—ia Syria. " Notes on Passages of Scripture" are as usual marked by that good sense which is the foundation of all sound criti ci3m. The " Address delivered by the Rev. Hugh Hutton on laying the foundation stone of the third Unitarian Chapel, and Sunday Schools, Birmingham," breathes a refreshing spirit of sober and rational piety. As a speci men o f t h e v i ews which the Birmingham Unitarians entertain on the subject of education, we se lect the following passage, which may perhaps surprise some of those who hear their pastors, from the pulpit, deny to that persecuted, but, it seems, flourishing sect, the name of Christians. " You have considerately and benevolently resolved to devote a portion of your time, your substance, and your labours, to the education of the children of the poor. May the work prosper in your hands! But let your views of education, and your exertions for its advancement, extend far beyond the narrow limit which would confine its advantages to the mere preparation of the children of poverty to per form the tasks, and to bear up against the priva tions and hardships of their worldly condi tion. Remember that they are intellectual, moral, accountable, immortal beings, as well as your selves. Let your energies, therefore, be directed to the development and exercise of all the powers and affec tions of their spiritual nature ; implant and cultivate the seeds of the Divine life within them ; see that the image of God be not effaced from their souls, but that it may shine out in increasing brightness and power with the progress of their years ; train them up to walk fearlessly and steadily in the way s o f pi e t y an d go dli ness, as dis ciples of Christ and expectants of his promise ; educate them for Heaven, for eternity, for God." Among the other articles, many of w hi c h are we ll wr itt en , b u t which our limited space will not a ll ow us t o no ti ce , will be found the concluding part of the pleadings before the Lords in the " Hewley case."

A ' article contains several incontrovertible facts, which must sound harshly in the ears of the trustees of roads and their unfortunate creditors. With the following re marks we cordially agree :—" Let Government grant as many Bills for railroads as they please, it will be for the benefit of the public, for numbers will excite competi tion, competition induce cheapness, cheapness give sa tisfaction." The article on " Kyan's Anti-Dry Rot," and the expense for repairing ships of war, sometimes amountin g , in three or four years, to the original cost, we would recommend to the attention of all those who are anxious to reduce the public expenditure. SHROPSHIRE; AND NORTH WALES STANDARD. The second Number of this fierce Tory Magazine bas just reached us. Politics apart, it deserves praise for the skill and spirit with which the majority of its articles arc written, as also for their seasonable charac ter. " Nimrod"—by far the best Sporting writer of the day, who shows us in every page that he combines the elegant attainments of the scholar, with the practical sa gacity of the man of the world—contributes a clever critical notice of Mr. Delme Radcliffe's " Ideas on Pox hunting," a work of which he speaks in warm terms of commendation. Next comes a political diatrib e en titled " The Birmingham Riots and the Whig Leaders," which is so exceedingly truculent in its tore, as to de feat the object for which the writer put pen to paper. The " Trysting Tree" is a poem, full of unaffected feel ing, by Miller. On the whole, we think this Magazine bids fair to keep its head above water, and float tri umphantly along the stream of public favour—a:thing by no means of common occurrence with young Periodicals LIFE OF WELLINGTON. Part 5. Colburn, London, 1839. This Part contains copious and, so far as we can see, accurate accounts of the Duke of Wellington's cam paign in the Peninsula, against the French veteran Mas sena—the " Child of Victory," as Napoleon used often to call him —one of the most glorious periods of his Grace's military career. The Part is embellished with a striking half.length portrait of the Marquis of Anglesea. THE ROMANCIST. The best tale in this Part, which is the ninth, is the Barber of Paris," which is carefully and elegantly ranslated from the French of Paul de Kock. PICTORIAL SHAKSPEARE. PART X. C.

" Sir,—l am directed by the Marquis of Normanby to transmit to you, for the information of the Committee at Lloyd's, the enclosed copy of a Report from the Agent- General for Emigration, stating that British passenger ships become liable to a penalty at New York, ia conse quence of taking their passengers in proportion to tonnage by British, instead of by the American mode of admeasure ment ; and I em directed by his Lordship to suggest that measures should be taken by the Committee for making this circumstance extensively known to the shipping interest. " I have the honour to be, your most obedient servant, "JAMES STEPHENS. " The Secretary to the Committee at Lloyd's." " 2, Middle Scotland-yard, July 24, 1839. " Sir,—l have the honour to transmit to you a copy of a letter from Lieutenant Low, accompanied by one from the British Consul at New York, to the Collector of Customs at Liverpool,l pointing out that British passenger ship be became liable to a penalty at New York, in consequence of taking their passengers in proportion to the tonnage by the British instead of the American mode of admeacurement. " I have no information on the subject further than is contained in this letter from Lieutenant Low, and the point appears one on which a judgment can best be formed in the Department of Customs; but I have thought it my duty, as the communication has reached me, to transmit it to the Secretary of State, to take any steps which his Lord ship may consider the occasion to require.

NE TV MONTHLY MAGAZINE. The " New Monthly" reacfiedu;a7s;llaTate hour, that we were unable to give it a place among our usual notices on Magazine day. There are many pleasant papers in it, and on the whole, it may be pronounced a fair average Number. The Editor resumes his. ar ticle on " Public Buildings," which he introduces with an amusing paragraph respecting the curiosity of foreign Princes when they pay a visit to London, and imagine that they can explore all its wonders in the brief course of a day. In this rambling article, Mr. Hook ventures to praise the architecture of that extraordinary pile, the Pimlico Palace—which he does, we presume, by way of a joke, and certainly it is the broadest joke in his paper. " The Widow Married" keeps up with un abated spirit. Mrs. Barnaby's daughter, Patty, comes out in fine style, and bids fair in time to rival even her extraordinary mother. The engravings, illustrative of the present chapters, are executed with more skill than usual. The " Phantom Ship" is here brought to a conclusion ; but as we have already spoken of the work in its collected form, we need say nothing further on the present occasion, than that, as an effort of fancy, it is the most successful that Captain Marryatt has yet attempted. " The Guest that Won't Go" is a lively and pointed essay. The other articles are each enter taining in its way. We have no space for extracts, or we would give a passage or two from the humorous " Personal Narrative of Tristam Dumps." HISTORY OF NAPOLEON—PART I. As a specimen of the manner in which this work is got up, and which arrogates to itself the proud title of " Napoleon for the People !" we quote a few lines from the Editor's Introduction, which will show the sort of qnalifications he brings to his task :—When the sword of Alexander," says he, " overthrew the throne of Cy rus, and subjugated the East, as far as the Indus, he did but extend the civilisation of Athens, that rose under the name and by the arms of the disciple of the Stagy rite. The refinement of the age of Pericles, the ac quirements of Attica, the philosophy of the Academy and the Lyceum, followed in the train of his victories !" The gross anachronisms and historical ignorance dis played in this passage are truly astonishing. It actually contains as many blunders as lines. In the first place, Alexander had no more to do with " the throne of Cyrus " than Napoleon had with the throne of King Pepin ; the writer mistakes Cyrus for Darius. Secondly, Athens did not rise " under the name and by the arms" of Alexander. It had reached its highest point of greatness long before, and was on the wane, even in the infancy of his father. Thirdly, So far was the " refine ment of the age of Pericles" from following " in the train of Alexander's victories," that ages had elapsed between the death of the great Athenian Statesman, and the birth of Phillip's son. Just as well might the Editor talk of the refinements of the Augustan age in England following in the train of the Duke of Welling ton's victories. We should scarcely have thought it worth our while to point out these glaring blunders, any one of which a fourth-form boy at Eton could correct; had not the work been expressly meant to circulate among the poorer classes of the community, who might be apt —not having, perhaps, the means of obtaining sounder information—to swallow all the Editor's dogmas as so many gospel truths. But gross ignorance is not the only defect of this catch-penny publication. The spirit that pervades the whole introduction, short as it is, is radically bad, and not only bad, but mischievous. We are told, for instance, that Napoleon was "the man of the people," " the personification of the spirit of equa lity"—he who hated the very name of the people, crushed the Freedom of the Press, decimated France by his wars, and ruled her with a rod of iron ! We cannot too strongly protest against the impropriety of disseminat ing false notions like these among the working classes of the community. Far better that they should read nothing at all, than read such works as the present, which cannot fail to confound their ideas of right and wrong, truth and falsehood, freedom and despotism. UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. There are several very entertaining papers in this Number ; and among them, some particulars of Sir Sid ney Smith's earlier career, previous to that masterly defence of Acre against the fine army of Napoleon, which has rendered his name so deservedly celebrated. The account of the" Expedition of the Quorra," derives its chief interest, from the circumstance of the late la mented African traveller Lander, figuring conspicu ously in the narrative. This article is, we see, "to be continued," and we shall watch its progress with atten tion. THE CHURCHMAN, AND THE EPISCOPAL MAGAZINE We find hardly any thing in these twin periodicals which is worth perusal. Much of the discussion which they contain is controversial, and, with scarcely an ex ception, it is carried on in an intolerant and even bitter pirit. The topics which are chiefly dwelt upon are popery, and the new plan of education. The no-popery cry resounds through almost every page, and the greatest alarm is evinced for the fate of Protestantism, now that the Catholics have come forward as the advocates of general education. This is a left-handed compliment to the Protestant system which professes to be founded in eternal truth, and used to court, not to fear the assaults of its enemies. What is become of the old saying, that " truth is mighty and will prevail ?" Has O'Con nell, amonr , the other achievements ascribed to him, reversed this maxim ? REPTOIV'S LANDSCAPE GARDENING.

LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 1839. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. BELLAMY V. ELOAR, Mr. Knight Bruce applied for an injunction to restrain the defendant from the erection of certain offices in Hanover square, so as to interrupt the light or cause annoyance to the tenants of the houses, Nos. 16 and 17 in the square, the property of the plaintiff. The Learned Counsel read several affidavits, from which it appears that the defendant had erected a hoard, which considerably blocked out the light from the houses of the plaintiff, and that if the erec tion of the offices in question by the defendant were not prevented, the value of the plaintiff's houses would be de teriorated. Mr. JAcons opposed the injunction. The VICB..CHANCELLOR said that although the affidavits of the plaintiff were worded somewhat metaphorically, and did not set forth the simple facts of the case so plainly as they might have done, yet he had not the slightest doubt from the models exhibited in Court, that the annoyance to the houses of the plaintiff by the erection of the offices pro posed by the defendant, would be very great, and that therefore the injunction must be granted. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT. objection to have an asylum in the Compter for a week, so that in the mean time something might be done for him? The prisoner cheerfully acquiesced in the suggestion. An order was then given that the lad should be supplied with clothes from the " City wardrobe," and it was to be understood that he was sent to the prison for shelter. W. Hooper, one of the light-fingered gentry who infest Fleet-street and its vicinity, was charged with "diving." /41r. Green, an assist an t surgeon, stated, that when walking down Fetter-lane, on the preceding day, the prisoner ran hastily by him, and an eating house keeper told him that he bad been robbed. The prisoner was pursued to the yard of a house in the vicinity, and while the policeman (Hall, 49) was searching the privy, the prisoner was seen to draw the handkerchief from the dust-bin. The eating_ housekeeper was not in attendance. Complainant did not wish to press the charge, as he had recovered his handker_ chief.—Mr. Alderman Brown said he had a public duty to perform, and he should remand the prisoner until Tuesday, when the prosecutor must attend, and the:officer was di rected to summon the person who saw the theft committed. The prisoner pleaded that he was not the person who took the handkerchief, but declared that he picked it up in the street ; but he co u ld g i ve no satisfactory account of his flight, and concealment of the article. POLICE COMMITTEE. CAUTION TO PUBLICANS.--Mr, W. Nunn, the landlord of the Noah's Ark public-house, Shoe-lane, was summoned by police -sergeant Hodge, No, 76. The complainant stated that last Sunday morning week, about a quarter to two o'clock, he was desired to go to the defendant's house, where he found from twelve to fifteen persons, some of whom were drunk, and some were drinking at the bar, and a great noise and disturbance was created.—A police con stable confirmed this fact, and said he was directed by a gentleman to interfere. —Mr. Nunn pleaded that he had only been eighteen days landlord of the house, and said the principal part of the persons there were connected with Farringdon-market, which did not close until after mid night. He tried to get them out, but could not. —Mr. Al derman Venab!es said then he was an unfit person to have a licence in the City, and fined him 403. and costs. Mr. Martin, the landlord of the Blue Last, Little Bell alley, was charged with selling and sending out liquor during the hours of divine service on Sunday mornings. It was proved that . the def en d ant ' s servant man b roug h t out the liquor, and delivered it to customers outside the house. —The defendant did not deny the charge, and admitted that he bad been admonished by the officers on former coca. sions.—He was also fined in the sum of 40s. and costs, and cautioned to be more circumspect in future, or perhaps his licence would be placod in jeopardy, MARLBORO UGH- STREET. JEALOUSY.—Wm. Elford was brought before Mr. Dyer and Mr. Courtoy, charged with having attempted the life of Adam Gibb, by stabbing him in several places with a shoemaker's knife. Jealousy was the cause of the occurrence. The complainant appeared with his head bound up, and other unequivocal proofs of having had a sharp struggle for life. His story was, that after drink ing with the prisoner and his wife at a public-house, he proposed to take a pot of ale to the prisoner's lodgings, and to drink it there. The prisoner acceded to the pro posal, and all three went to Calmell-buildings, Oxford street, where the prisoner lodged. The prisoner became intoxicated, and went and placed himself in the bed. Soon afterwards be called his wife, who came and laid herself by his side. Complainant seated himself at the side of the bed, and while there the prisoner suddenly jumped up, seized a shoemaker's knife, and attacked him with it. Complainant rushed out of the room, followed by the pri soner, who continued stabbing him in a state of the most ungovernable fury. Complainant being wounded in seve ral places was obliged to be taken to the hospital. The policeman said when he first saw the complainant he was deluged in blood from the wounds inflicted by the prisoner. The surgeon's certificate was to the effect that the wounds were slight, and no danger was to be apprehended. The complainant tried to deny the imputed criminality ; but the prisoner's manner and bis statements were sufficient to convince every one that he had good cause for his jea lous feelings. Mr. DYER, taking into consideration the extreme pro vocation received by the prisoner, told him he should only call upon him to find bail for the assault, and the prisoner might indict him if be those. BOW-STREET. DEMANDING AN EXPLANATION.—On Saturday Edward Price, a young man of _very respectable appearance, was charged with obstructing a policeman in the execution of his duty.—F 94 stated that about a month since he appre hended the defendant in the Strand, for being drunk and disorderly. On Saturday morning, about four o'clock, he met him again in the Strand, when the defendant came up and demanded an explanation why he (witness) had taken him into custody on a former occasion. Witness told him to go about his business, upon which be flourished a thick stick over his he a d, an d swore he would split his ugly skull if he did n o t g i ve hi m an explanation, and thereupon he took him into custody. Defendant, in answer to the charge, denied flourishing the stick, but admitted that he was anxious foran explana tion, and had taken the earliest opportunity of demand ingwhich it. two sureties i o n rci l e o zd ea h ch im , t t o o k fi e n e d p a th i e l , p h e a i m c e s , e l w f and M t r ; did, and was discharged, with a strong recommendation not to demand any furth er explanation of the police. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-.--IVEIVCASTLE AUGUST 1. The business of the a ss i zes terminated to-day, and at its conclusion the prisoner, A rc hib ald Bolam, was placed in the dock to receive sentence. No alteration had taken place in his appearance. He still preserved the same cool unmoved demeanour. On being asked by the clerk of arraigns if he had any thing to say why sentence should not be passed on him for the offence of which he had been convicted, be replied in a firm, clear voice, " My Lord, I declare before God and you I am innocent of the death of Joseph Millie." His LORDSHIP then passed sentence in the following words :—" Archibaldßolam, you have been found guilty by the jury, after a full inquiry into the evidence, of the offence of manslaughter. The jury have certainly come to the most mitigated and mild conclusion they could arrive at, upon the conviction chat you caused the death of Joseph Millie. They must have believed you caused that death, and I hope the belief was well founded, from sudden excite ment on a provocation arising from some unforseen quarrel. You protest you are innocent. lam entirely unable to give the smallest weight to that protestation, as you must be well aware I am bound to act upon the verdict of the jury, and it is a verdict with which I do not see any reason to be dissatisfied. It seems to me the facts proved you were engaged in the manslaughter. The prisoner here said—" I beg your pardon, my Lord, but your Lordship speaks so low I cannot hear you." Mr. Baron Mat:LE—lt is not of much consequence, but I will speak louder. --Considering this is a case in which the jury have considered you committed the offence of I manslaughter, I can now consider only the mode in which Joseph Millie was killed, and the circumstances under which his death took place. Now, it appears it must have taken place upon some quarrel arising between the hours of half -past three and half-past five o'clock. In that short time some quarrel, some strong excitement in your mind —strange, indeed, for a person of your habits and cha racter—must have arisen to cause you to take away his life. The jury must have come to some conclusion of that kind, or they would have found that there was pre vious malice, and then your life would have been forfeited, Now, considering that you killed this unfortunate man by striking him with a poker, breaking his skull to pieces, and shedding his blood in a most frightful way, it is a case of most aggravated manslaughter. Nobody can doubt the person who committed the offence—and you are found to be that person—did commit the offence of aggravated man slaughter. I feel bound, therefore, :o give you the ex treme punishment of the law for that offence. The sentence of the Court is that you be transported beyond the:seas for the term of your natural life. The prisoner —My Lord, I regard that sentence as my death. He was then removed from the dock, amid the hisses of the persons assembled in Court. The commission of assize opens at Carlisle to-day, and :he business will commence to-morrow. NORFOLK CIRCUIT—NoawIca, JULY 31. _Henry Lane, a farming labourer, was capitally indicted for a felonious assault on Frances Curzen, on the 22E1 of May. Sir. PALMER conducted the prosecution, and Mr. COOPER the defence. The evidence in support of the prosecution went to show that the prosecutrix, who was sixty years of age, was looking after some donkeys in a field neer Stiff key on the morning of the day in quesion, and about five o'clock was assaulted by a person dressed like the prisoner, who perpetrated the offqnce charged in the indictment. It seemed that the night before there had been a fair or feast in the neighbourhood, at which a great many agricul tural labourers were present, who indulged in other potations than those which teetotallers recommend, to a very late hour. Many of those were dressed like the prisoner, with white sl ,p frock and hat, such as labourers in those parts wear, and as the prosecutrix swore to the person of the man only from his dress, the evidence of identity was extremely weak. Besides, she stated that the person who assaulted her was not drunk, whereas it appeared that the prisoner was drunk that morning after the share he had taken in the conviviality of the feast. The Counsel for the pri soner, and -the Learned Judge, in addressing the Jury, placed the insufficiency of the evidence strongly before them, notwithstanding which the Jury retired and remained out a consierable time, but on their return into Court pro nounced a verdict of Not Guilty. MONMOUTH. A true bill has been found against Vincent, Townsend, Dickenson, and Edwards, and they are now on their trial ; a true bill bas likewise been found against Frost, Vincent, and Edwards for sedition and conspiracy. IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF ZACHARIAS RICHARD FISKE, The insolvent, described as a " gentleman," was op posed by Mr. Cooke, fora creditor, named Beale, a hosier, in Bond-street. Mr. Woodroff e, supported the petition.--Mr. Cooke, in liming, took the opinion of the Court, whether the insolvent was entitled to the benefit of the Act, on account of his being outlawed after judgment. He was aware that Lord Edward Thynne's case had been discharged after process of outlawry.—The Court said the point had been decided, and the case proceeded. From the statement of Mr. Beale, it appeared that the insolvent was indebted to him in the sum of 2901. and up wards, for hosiery goods, for which he gave him a bill of exchange. Of this amount h e h a d n o t rece ived one shil- ling. - One order he had given him was fora dozen shirts, which he said were for Sir William Deane, Bart., who, it seems, had no existence, but in the imagination of the in solvent, echo was a friend, he said, of his " brother Tom." He was called " Sir William" by way of a joke. The shirts never reached " Sir William" and they were after wards traced to the possession of the insolvent, who ac knowledged he had one one, which excited considerable laughter. Mr. Cooke said the contracting this debt was a direct fraud against his client, for which he should pray a judgment by the Court.--Mr. Woodrooffe submitted that as the debt had been contracted when he was under age the opposition must fail. COURT-If you prove this there is an end to the debt for 2001. By the production of the register, it appeared that he was not of age when he contracted the debt with Mr. Beale. Mr. Cook said the debt (14/, 16s. 9d.) for the shirts had been obtained under false representations. He la mented that so young a gentleman, the son of a clergyman, should have so misconducted himself. Mr. Woodroffe said he could not justify the insolvent's conduct, but he thought the expose in Court would an swer every purpose without a judgment. The COURT said the debt had been improperly contracted he having made use Gf a person's name who had no exist ence, as, however, there was a defect in the schedule, the judgment of the Court could not be pronounced until Mon day. His debts amounted to 1,2471. 10s. Thomas Johnson, described as a surgeon, was opposed by Mr. Cooke, for a creditor named Sergeant, a tailor, for a debt of 701. He was supported by Mr. Cresswell. The insolvent, it appeared, was highly connected, and had joined the Surrey Yeomanry, the Queen supplying his outfit : and from the statement in the schedule be ex pected to receive very considerable property—from one relative alone 100,000/. His present debts amounted to about 1,0001. The complaint of Mr. Sergeant failed, and, subject to an amendment in his schedule, he was ordered to be discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION .HOUSE. EXTRAORDINARY Row. —Thomas Shearman, a politica, teacher of the people, and beershop-keeper, was summoned for having committed a wanton assault upon a woman, named Patience Robinson. Mrs. Robinson said that some nights ago a man of the name of Metcalf, who was desirous to improve the Consti tution, collected a crowd in Little Trinity-court, and preached to them out of a window, his text being from a Chartist newspaper. The speechification was against the Irish (a great many of them lived in the court), and it set forth that the Paddies would rather give eightpence a leaf to pay Dan. O'Connell out of it for supporting them, than nobly fight for their rights, like the men of Birmingham. Now, as she thought the Irish were quite ready enough to kick up a row, and that what she heard was all nonsense, she took the liberty of laughing, and for representing her opinion in that simple way, the defendant, who was a rank Chartist, and was listening with delight to the libel upon the Irish, seized her by the hair of her head, and dragged her down the court. Several witnesses corroborated the statement of the com plainant. The denunciation against Mr. O'Connell was represented as very bitter. He was accused of having im pure motives for the constant agitation he kept up in Ire land, and the speechificator was ready for half the money to keep England in such hot water that it would be quite easy to govern it in the proper way.--(A laugh.) An Irish girl, in giving her account of the transaction, said, " Please your Lordship, you never heard such non sense as Mr. Metcalf spoke, and he was backed by Mr. Shearman, for upon my word and credit Mr. Shearman is nothiNg else but a Chartist." _ _ Mr. HOBLER—Pray, what i s a Ch art i st , my good girl ? Irish Girl—lndeed, indeed, to confess the thruth, I can't tell ; only when we hear persons abusing people for not letting them do just what they like, we cull them Chartists.—( A laugh.) Mr. HOLLER—Do they go upon three or four legs ? Irish girl—l don't just know the difference, but upon my word I don't think they have a leg more than I have myself, and I never, to my knowledge, had more than two in my life. Shearman prepared his mouth and his attitude for a speech, and declared that he and Mrs. Patience Robinson ougt to change places on the question, for a more impa tient and furious woman never appeared against a man whose conduct was marked by a power of endurance much beyond that possessed by the mass of mankind. The LORD MAYOR—Give me leave to ask what you are ? Shearman—What lam ? lam a librarian and a book seller. One of the witnesses—Please your Lordship, he means by that that he keeps a beer-shop and a chandler's-shop. _-(A laugh.) The defendant said it was true he kept a shop also for the sale of beer, and that he considered to be the cause of all this noise about Mrs. Patience Robinson, whose landlord kept one of those houses where liquor of a diffe rent kind, calculated to rouse the passions instead of keep ing them in proper tune, was sold. It was, in fact, gin against beer, and het rusted that the Lord Mayor would see the matter in a proper light, and decide in favour of the sober side ofthe question. The conduct of Patience was at variance with patience itself, and the other cardinal virtues. She had raised her arm as well as her voice against a ra tional political discussion, for after having read an effu sion of Whig botheration from the Morning Advertiser, she took up the chair on which she had been standing, and gave him a wallop with it. Apprehensive that such a substitute for argument might be dangerously admi nistered to other people in the court, he took her gently by the arm, and led her to the end of the court, where she thought proper to accuse the lovers of peace and beer of having assaulted the advocates of gin and war.— (Laughter. ) Some witnesses stated that they saw Patience Robin son severely put Mr. Shearman's patience to the test, by whopping him with the chair. The complainant declared that she had merely availed herself of the privilege of laughing at what she consi dered to be very absurd, when she found Mr. Shearman's hands entwined in her locks. The Loan MAYOR and Mr. Alderman LAINSON, after having examined the evidence most narrowly, were of opinion that the,dragging by the hair, which was a very Chartist mode of punishing females, was fully proved, and sentenced the defendant to pay the penalty of 21., or refit e for a month to the placid security of a gaol. Defendant—l consider the decision most unjust, and I would rather rot in a gaol than pay a farthing under the circumstances. The LORD MAYOR--YOU shall have your choice. He is committed.—The defendant then walked off to prison. GUILD HALL. On Saturday, William Palmer, an intelligent lad, was brought before Mr. Alderman Brown, almost in a state o nudity, by police constable Edwards, No. 9 55, under the following . circumstunces The officer stated, that when on duty late on Friday evening, he saw the prisoner deliberately throw a stone and smash one of the street lamps, and before witness could get up with him, the prisoner stooped for a stone as if about to demolish another. Air. Alderman BROWN inquired whether the city lamp contractor had had notice to attend ?—The reply was in the negative, Mr. - Alderman BROWN—Prisoner, whet have you to say; how came you to do this? Prisoner—l did it in order to get under the protection of the police and get shelter in the Compter. Mr. Alderman BROWN—You must have had some other motive surely ?—I was fearful of the men who were fol lowing me. Mr': Alderman BROWN—Men—what men ? Prisoner— There were several who had been following me about, - and said that they would " do for me." Mr. Alderman BROWN —What is the meaning of this? Prisoner—A few weeks ago I was a witness at the Cen tral Criminal Court against a person of the name cf Keith or Kean, who was tri.nsported for ten years for robbing a gentleman. Roe, the City officer, explained that in the case alluded to, he believed Sir Thomas Crawford, who had been hustled and robbed of his purse, was the prosecutor, and the lad at the bar was the principal witness. The worthy Alderman said that this was a shameful case of persecution. The lad then told the Alderman that on Monday last he was wa‘ laid by seven of the gang, when th ey str i ppe d hi m naked, 'and beat him severely, and for which offence they had been sent to Tothill-fields Bridcwell. Alderman Brown said, he should nolOuger treat the lad as a prisoner, and asked him whether he would hare any CORONER'S IN QUEST. On S Jaturday morning, at nine o'clock, an inquisition was taken before Mr. WARLEY, M. P., and a highly res pectable jury, at the sign of the Duke of Cumberland, Bryanston-street, Portman-square, on view of the body of Richard William Belton, aged 21 months, who was run over by Mr. Tilbury's cabriolet, and killed on the spot. Mr. Tilbury was present, and, in consequence of the great excitement, the jury room was crowded. John Watson, coachman, No. 33, Upper Harley-street, deposed that on Thursday evening last, between five and six o'clock, he was in Great Cumberland-street, on horse back, when he sa w a cabriolet, drawn by one horse, in which were two gent l emen, coming from the direction of Oxford street, a n d go i ng on their right side at a speed of about six miles an hour. In a minute after it had passed he observed the deceased lying behind the off wheel. He got off his horse and took up the unfortunate child, when its father came up. He then saw a portion of its brains upon the road near the spot from which it was taken. The deceased was dead. He called out to the gentlemen, who turned round, and who instantly went off towards the Edgeware-road. Witness followed. They turned into the Bayswater-road, and were overtaken by witness near the Victoria Gate.—By the CORONER—They did not increase their speed after the occurrence. lam of opinion that it was quite an accident, and that it could' not be prevented. The gentlemen gave their card, on which was inscribed " Tilbury, Son, and Clarke." A policeman took them to the station-house. Mr. Tilbury here observed, that it was not his intention to have made his escape. He thought that the child was not hurt, as it (lid not make any noise. It was his inten tion to have returned ; and when he was again at the spot he gave a man a shilling to go for a surgeon. Mr. John Gray, surgeon, 7, Upper George-street, said that he was in Great Cumborlanl street, when he saw the cab going towards the Edgeware.road. Thinking that it would come into Oxford -street, he ran there, when he saw the cabriolet going at a furioas rate towards the Bayswater road.

The CORONER then stated that Mr. Tilbury's son might be examined, as he was not driving at the time ; when Mr. George E. Tilbury stated that he resided with his father at No. 48, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square. He was in the cabriolet on the evening of the accident. ...The animal his father drove is seven years old, and is always quiet. He (witness) never saw the child either befcre or after the accident; when it occurred he was talking to his father about two ladies and a gentleman, who were on horseback, passing them, and he was observing that they (the ladies) rode very much like some ladies they knew, when he heard some one say, " You have killed the child." As there was a great crowd his father wished to go round very fast. Th e witness removed hen a t the houses till he thought it wculd h ave dispersed, when it was his intention to have re turned i mmediately.

The CORONER closely questioned her, when she stated that she had not seen the man since the accident, and that she was not aware that he was the person till he stated that he was, upon which she identified him ; a policeman was present at the time.—An Inspector of Police of the D division confirmed her statenient. A juror then stated that he had seen the first witness in conversation with Mr. Tilbury, at the bar of that house, when they returned from viewing the body. Other jurors said that there were rumours abroad, evidence to the effect of which they had not heard that day. The CORONER remarked, that the jury ought not to at tend to reports. They had only to abide by the evidence before them. He saw that there was a strong feel;ng ex isting upon the subject, on which account he should con sider it his duty to adjourn the inquiry for the purpose of having further evidence. The beadle here brought in ano ther witness. John Lawe, a footman, residing at the Duke of Cum berland, said that he was in the tap-room when the acci dent happened. He saw the child go off the pavement into the road, when it was struck on the head by the horse's off side foot. It was knocked down, and was run over the neck by the off wheel. He (witness) thought it entirely an accident. The cabriolet was going s l ow l y. The CORONER then stated that he should adjourn the inquiry, and he directed the beadle to summon the ladies who were on horseback, and what other witnesses he could. The inquest was adjourned to Wednesday morning at nine o'clock. The heavy fall of rain last week so flooded the River Towy that its banks were covered with one deep sheet of water along a great part of its course from Llan dovery to Carmarthen. An immense quantity of hay and several cattle were carried away by the force of the current. The loss sustained in consequence is enormous, and in many cases quite ruinous. On Saturday boats were plying be tween this place and Pensard, and on the Swansea road, for the conveyance of persons to and from the market, and it is a matter of surprise that no accidents occurred. We have not heard of any lives having been lost, but the de iruction of property is immense.—Cambrian. /Ji AGg artic l e,l GA In this Number interesting, at least to one class , o n 4‘ Turnpike Trusts, Coa c h Convey ance,an " d Railways, by Mr. Jos. L oc k wood. The writer in his greatthere and natural anxiety for th e success of railways, makes a g roundless charge against some of the London p a pers for advocating the repeal of the tax on stage coaches and post horses, as if the editors of these papers were opposed to the success of the railway system. They are not opposed to railroads, but they are opposed to a heavy tax on a certain class, imposed under circum stances totally different from those in which they are now placed. The relief proposed would not enable the proprietors of stage coaches to compete successfully with railroads, but it would be some compensa tion for the great decline of traffic in many of the great lines of road.
