The LORD MAroa—lf you do not immediately pay the complainant's fare to Boulogne I shall inflict a penalty upon ydt/ for this gross infraction of the Act of Parliament. His Lordship knew that it was the constant practice of the watermen when they got passengers for steamers going out of the port to demand five or six shillings when half way to the vessel, and refuse, except upon payment of the motley, to approach the vessel closer. The master hesitated for some time, but the Lord Mayor having called for the Act of Parliament, which in flicted the fine of fifty shillings for the offence of causing " unnecessary delay," he consented to pay the fare, and tetitell from the justice-room apparently for that purpose: The complainant, however, having stated in the course of the detail of the circumstances that lie bad engaged his passage, and that the vessel was to sail the next morning at ten o'clock, the wester and his boy walked off.

INSOLVENT COURT-FRIDAY. Thomas Underwood, son of Sir James Underwood, Knt , was opposed by Mr. Addams, for Mr. W. H. Baker, a solicitor, and for Messrs. Young and Co., tailors, St. James's street. The insolvent, who was supported by Messrs. COOKE and W T OODItOFFE, in 1829 was appointed to a situation in the Treasury department, at a salary of 1001. per year, which, being a rising stipend, has since increased to 1501. He is now 24 years of age, and during the greater part of the time from 1829 up to a recent period his father was absent from the country (in India), and, while so absent, had allowed him (the insolvent) 1001. a year, besides which he had frequently paid large sums of money for him, in li quidation of the demands on him (the son), amounting to nearly 1,000/. The insolvent's debts amounted altogether to 6,2801., of which sum he had received upwards of 4,000/. consideration. A considerable portion of the residue ap peared to have been incurred by gambling. Mr. Baker and Messrs. Young opposed the insolvent, on the ground that he had obtained the amount of their claims, 1,1801., on fallacious statements of his income, allowances, and expectances. Sir James Underwood was totally unaware of the extra vagance of his son until his (Sir James's) return to Eng r land. He had, it appeared, on discovering his son's diffi culties, offered the creditors six shillings in the pound, which they had refused. Sir James subsequently made the cre ditors a tender of five shillings in the pound ready money, and five shillings at the expiration of twelve months, on condition of his son not being disturbed in his situation but this proposal was also rejected by them.. In making the tender of poundage he exempted his son's gambling debts, which he would not consent to pay. The Learned COMMISSIONER adjudged the insolvent to eight months' imprisonment, for having contracted the debts with Mr. Baker and the Messrs. Young, without at the time having had any reasonable probability of discharging them. • • N ! fr4Gie,"`-f." - v .'''',.•;., ci b . Ni .., . .. _ to . n . kL.J .. # . :7,2 ....em5: ~ . 4. ..

The house surgeon stands in a ,-elative position between a pupil cud an established practitioner, and it is usual in all ordinary cases to intrust operations to him. The juror repeated that their complaint was that no sur geon was called in on the instant, in a case like this, but that the pupil should take upon himself to do everything. IVlr, flowship knew it to be Mr. Golding's directions that that the 'house surgeon should send for assistance in every case where he required it. jurors —It is our opinion that in all serious cases like this the surgeon ought to be sent for immediately, and the case not left to pupils. This is not a place for pupils to practice in, except under the controul of an experienced surgeon. Mr. Howship regretted that Dr. Golding was not pre sent, but he could only say again what he knew, that Dr. Golding gave most positive orders tinr a surgeon to be sent for whenever required. The mother of the deceased, in answer to a question as to how her son was treated in the hospital, she, pith a glow and an energy that did honour to her feelings, said it was most kind and excellent. He had every indulgence lie could require. The nurse was very good to him. The Juror observed that it was important that this tes timony, so creditable to the hospital, should be heard. Ho was glad to hear it. • A verdict of " Accidental death" was returned, accom panied by a recommendation that the parish authorities should be applied to, to place a light up at the entrance to Dusky-hill ; and that it should be recorded as the decided' o pinion of the Jury, that in all serious accidents the house pupil cip send for one of the principal surgeons, in the first instance.

Mr. CLARKSON applied on behalf of Mr. Geo. Reeves, for a music license for the premises, 5 and 6, Leicester square. The Learned Counsel stated, that the applicant was a most respectable man, who sought to convert these spacious premises into concert rooms, and by so doing add considerably to the improvement and enjoyments of the neighbourhood. After a conversation, in which Captain Fitzgerald bore testimony.to the good character of the applicant, The licence was refused by three to two. Mr. ADOLPHUS next moved for a license to the Eagle Tavern, Camden Town. Captain FITZGERALD objected to the motion, as, having inspected the house and the tavern in which the music was to be performed, he found that it was a very filthy place. Mr. ADOLPHUs—This is really too had. How are we to,meet such objections? We are•not permitted to reply upon the Bench, while yet we have no previous notice of their objection. How can we be prepared to show that the place is not filthy, or the room small ? The license was rejected by a majority of 6 to 2. Mr. ADOLPHUS moved on behalf of Charles Morgan Eves, for a music license for the Exmouth Arms, Exmouth street, St. Pancras. He hoped that any objections in tended to be made, whether from the Bench or any other quarter, would be stated before he entered into the state ment of the petitioner, as otherwise justice could not be done to him. He never suspected that any Magistrate was actuated by motives of a pecuniary nature—he charged no corruption against them of such a character ; but there was another and a more dangerous species of corruption, the corruption arising from bad passions . _ —from a bad ambition--and the desire to do evil to an other. He intended no personal application in these remarks ; but he would respectfully caution persons in authority not lightly to interfere with the enjoyments of the poor. It was said that dancing should not be allowed to the lower classes, and said so too by many of the gentlemen sitting on that bench ; and he denied ,that doctrinkand ould go ; tbe length"of bsayin o rr that' - a) Liddy of Men, be their station what it might, should, by tyrannous impediments, deprive the poor of their enjoyments. As well might the poor man say, Why do you spend your five guineas for a luxurious feast at a tavern while such a sum would support my family for so many weeks?" He (Mr. Adolphus) hoped that the general observations which were thus forced from him would not prejudice the application he was making. . _ ThCClrmitmAN . said it would be desirable that for the future the dimensions of the rooms to be licensed should be set forth in the petitions. Mr. Anomms—Why, Sir, you know that the modern quadrilles do not requirb such large rooms as were necessary in my boyish days, when country dances were the fashion. The CHAIRMAN—I hope, Mr. Adolphus, that our good old-fashioned English country dances are not yet quite gone out of fashion. Captain FITZGERALD—I really know not what we, the Magi Crates, are to do if we be thus liable to charges of corruption ; when it is at the same time admitted that the charge as applied to this Bench is wholly inapplicable. Mr. M‘WILLIAm—My general objection to the grant ing of music licenses does not arise from any objection to music, or the enjoyments of the people, but from my wish • that the poorer class of persons keeping public-houses should not be swallowed up by persons who had sufficient money and influence to obtain music licenses. It has been stated to me that a music license is worth 1001., and that to certain gentlemen of the bar the increased applicants for licenses is worth from 2001. to 3001. a-year. `l l he CHAIRMAN—Then it must be at the public-house bar ; as far as Counsel arc concerned in making 'in applica tion, three hundred pence would be nearer the mark. The license was refused by a majority of six to three. Mr. ADOLPHUS applied on behalf of Ann Grundy for a license to the George the Fourth Tavern, in Bow-lane, East India Dock-road. In the course of his remarks the Learned Counsel said--In this case I have my instructions from one of the coroner's for the county ; and if it be true, as I have heard it said by some gentlemen on this Bench, that ",dancing leads to vice, vice to despair, and despair to suicide," I Dail sure the coroner would not advocate the ap plication. Mr. STOCK (with great %,i,rnith) opposed the application. The QUEEN'S BAzaan.—A licence was granted unani mously to Mr. Thomas Hamlet, the respectable jeweller and silversmith, for a musk license to the Queen's Bazaar, in Oxford-street. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A lad named Phillips, an apprentice to a waterman, ap peared to answer the charge of a Mr. T. liurchall. The complainant on Wednesday went to Nicholson's Wharf, for the purpose of going on board the Royal Sove= reign steam-vessel, bound for Boulogne. The vessel had only started so much before he reached the stairs that he could not jump on board, and he was obliged to look about for a Waterman to row hint alongside. The,defendant was called, and took him into his boat, but having received no bore than shi n olee he refused No rnw with iwYthinr like 130 W-STREET. Yestertley afternoon, about three o'clock, an old man, of dirty appearance, by trade a corkeutter, named Jaws Hill, was brought up, tinder the following rather extraordinary circumstances :—The prisoner and a young woman, named Sarah Sheppard, about twenty-seven years of age, the wife of a shoemaker, had been cohabiting"together for some time, at a lodging, No. 2, Lumber -court, West street, St. Giles's, having with them a little boy, about eight years old, the son of the female by a former husband. They were repeatedly getting drunk and quarrelling, and whenever in that state he threatened to leave her, upon which she always declared she would poison herself ; threat at which he laughed, and told her the sooner she did it the better. On Thursday evening they were drunk and quarrelsome, and the other inmates were greatly annoyed. After a continued quarrel of some hours all became quiet except an occasional groaning, which also ceased, and soon after the little boy crept ' into one of the lodger's rooms, and said he was afraid his mother was either dead or dying, and that she had taken poison. Several of the lodgers went directly to the room, where they found the unhappy woman stretched upon the floor, just at her last gasp, and the prisoner sitting very coolly smoking his pipe in front of the fire. They told him his wife was dying, and begged him to run for a doctor, but he refused and growled out " Let her die and be —." One of the lodgers went for a surgeon, but before he could arrive the poor creature was dead. the surgeon said from the appearances there could be no doubt that she died from poison. Serjeant Lawrence, No. 9, F police, took the prisoner into custody. When first before the Magistrates (Messrs. Minshull and Halls) the prisoner said the deceased and he had been quarrelling, and that he saw her fall on the floor ; but as she was subject to falling fits he took no notice of her, leav ing her to " get round by herself." He heard no struggles, nor anything said about poison, for he was "as deaf as the wall." This, however, proved to be an imposture, for Mr. Minshull lowered his voice gradually to the ordinary tone, and the prisoner caught up with great avidity every remark that applied to himself. At three o'clock he was again placed at the bar, and the little boy alluded to was brought forward. He looked squalid and miserable ; but was remarkably intelligent for his years. He said his mother had often threatened to take poison, and about three weeks ago she sent him fur some oxalic acid ; but the doctor would not let him ; have it, and she went and purchased some herself, and put it into the cupboard. On Thursday evening, during the quarrel, she said she would poison herself; and the pri soner told her she might- if she liked. She at the same time showed him a paper, upon which was written "oxalic acid—poison." He told her to do as she liked, and she went to the cupboard and mixed a glass full and drank it. Witness told prisoner what she had done, mid that, she was about to take more, upon which he said, " Let her take it and be —." She then took another glass full, and im mediately fell upon the floor, where she lay groaning about an hour, and then died. The prisoner was ordered to be detained until the Coro ner's Jury can sit upon the body. UNION-HALL. Yesterday, Win. Claridge, an artist, was charged with being drunk and disorderly on the preceding night. The defendant exhibited all the appearance of a bard night's debauch, and it was stated that he was observed in the, Waterloo-road at an unseasonable hour, holding an ar gument with hinisell, and discussing the merits of an English and an Amtrican actor. In the course of his soliloquising dialogue, he became so animated that he at length gave ut terance to loud denunciations against his supposed oppo nent in argument, and began to strike out with his arms as if engaged in a pugilistic encounter. At length it was deemed necessary to takertioe artist off to the station•house, as he was quite incapable if taking care of himself; and even when in durance vile be amused himself the greater part of the time until morning in recitations, to the discom fiture of his fellow-prisoners, who were inclined to punier him, had it not been lor the interference of the police autho 'rities on the spot. . . The MAGISTRATE, perceiving the artist litutolie of his eyes blockened, asked himhow it happened ? The artist in reply said that the fact was, he went into a tavern in the Waterloo-road on the previous evening, to spend an hour or two in rational conversation. The subject they were dis cussing in the room was theatricals, and a gentleman having expressed an opinion that Mr. Forrest was the greatest actor that ever lived, be (defendant) merely said that he did not co incide in the view taken by the speaker, when he was told in plain terms that he was no judge. He retorted upon his opponent, and said that no American forests were to be compared to our English oaks, when he was called a per jured fool, and other names, which were net vgry agreeable, especially in the presence of a crowded room. He again retorted upon his opponent, and, in vindication of his own opinion, mentioned the names of Kean, Kemble, Maeready, and other actors of celebrity, but he was contradicted again by his opponent, who at length became so excited that he stood up to fight, and actually struck him a blow on the eye. He (the artist) left the house in disgust, and it was while smarting under the undeserved punishment that he had experienced in the room that the policeman came up and ordered him away. ..... The MAGIsTRATE then inflicted a fine of ss. on the ar tist fur intoxication. CORONERS' INQUEST. SURGICAL. ATTENDANCE AT-CHARING-CROSS HOSPITAL. —An adjourned inquest was resumed last night before Mr. Higgs, Coroner for Westminster, at the Charing-cross Hospital, on the body of John Gumbv, aged 30, a painter, who was found in Dusky-hill, Strand, with his limbs frac tured, and in a state of intoxication and insensibility. The account he gave was that he had withdrawn for convenience, when, a waggori coining down, he called to the driver t o stop, but he did- not, and the ho rses knockin g him down the waggon passed over hint. Th e Place is narrow and very dark, and leads down to the Thames wharf. Mr. John Howslip, of Saville-roff, surgeon to the hospi tal, saw the man half an hour after he was admitted. Hi s arm was fractured very badly ; his leg and thi g h on th e same side were fractured. The poor titan had evidently been drinking, and was in a very enfeebled state of consti tution. The case was one in which there was very little chance from the first. A Juror —We understand a pupil h a d set t h e limb berore vou arrived, a nd that every thing w as done under the direc _Lion of this pupil• witness —The house-surgeon, who is a pupil, did Eaiuly a ttend him. Juror—lt is usual for you to look in in the evening about this time, is it not ? w itniss _ yes. Juror—Then, if you hail not happened to look in the poor man would have continued till next morning without „ fl y principal surgeon seeing hint ? Witness—The pupil has directions to send for a surgeon on any emergency. Juror---Don't you think it necessary that there s hould be an experienced surgeon resident in an institution of this kind ? ness—Certainly. Juror—That, then, is our ground of complaint. Charing er94 HoPital was not formed merely as a place in which INVENTION IN RAiiWAYS. On Thursday afternoon Mr. Thos. Parkin, in pursuance of an announcement by circular, made a publi c ex hibiti on of his patent plan for improving the construction of railways on the ground belonging to the Greenwich Railway Com pany, near London Bridge, where a specimen of his railway had been laid down ; and there were present on the occa sion—Dr. Birkbeck, Mr. Playford, Mi. Galloway, Mr: Dillon, Mr. Fenwick, and a great number of other gentle men of science, and connected with railways. Mr. PARKIN explained that his plan embraced two modes of construction, but of one common principle, viz., conti nuous support of the rails, which in the cue case was ef fected by concrete only ; and in the other by, sleepers, made of vitrified earth and dowelled together, the former being only half as expensive as the latter, and saving many thou sann pounds per mile. After the meeting, at which Dr. BirTibecic attended, se veral of the gentlemen present at the explanation of the plan assembled, and proposed that the following resolutions should be submitted, which were carried unanimously— " That a meeting which took place this day on the site of a sample of Mr. rarkin's railway, and at which that gentleman entered into a full and clear explanation of his plan, it was resolved that, in the opinion of those present, a railway of that description would not only be infinitely cheaper than those now in use, but be equally serviceable, and much more durable." The next resolution was—" That Mr. Parkin be re quested to give a public lecture grAtuitously on the subject." JOHN WETENHALL,. Chairman. THE ARMY.

On Saturday afternoon, about four o'clock, M r . R o bi nson was d r i v i n g in his phaeton. On . passing a pl ace on Hays Common, known by the name of Coneyhall-hill, on the road from Croydon to Westerhain, two men, with their faces covered up to their eyes, each with a pistol in one hand, and a stick in the other, rushed from behind a thick bush, and, ordering him to stop, pre sented their pistols, and commanded him to deliver his mo ney. Mr. Robinson said that he had none for them, and one then called to the other to hold fast, and said, " I'll soon settle the business." This ruffian then sprang forward. and seized the horse's head, while his companion rushed to the steps of the phaeton, and, presenting his pistol close to Mr. Robinson's breast, laid down his s tick at his feet, and then proceeded tc...puil open his great coat, on whi c h M r . Robinson raised his foot and kicked him backward s . Th e villain staggered and partly fel l, but instantly resumed his feet, and fired his pistol, the ball passing through Mr. Ro binson's cloak and the back part of his ph ae t on . Th e ot h er villain, upon finding that his companio n ' s b a ll did not ta k e the desired effect , immediately presented his pistol so close to Mr. Robinson, that he seized hold of the muzzle, and, pushing it on one side, parried its direction at the moment that it went off, and the same ruffian made a blow at Mr. itohinson with a stick, w hi c h k noc k e d o ff hi s h at an d b ro k e his whip. At this instant the horse broke away from the one who held it, :Ind, suddenly turning round, went off quickly forty or fif t y yar d s , and on Mr. Robinson looking round, he saw the villains pick •up his hat, and instantly disappear behind the bushes.
