The paragraph beneath is from the Times of Nov. 16, 1832. " Yesterday evening the members of the City of London Ar tists' Society held their first meeting this season at the London Coffee-house. The intention of this society is merely to afford artists and amateurs an opportunity of assembling together for the purpose of conversation, and of exhibiting their works be fore they are brought more unequivocally under public notice. Many specimens of the talents of the members were last night observable in the room ; but as any thing like detailed criticism on such an occasion would be out of place, we will merely an nounce that a proof of an engraved portrait of Sir Walter Scott, from a painting by Lawrence, excited general attention and no less admiration. The portrait, we understand, was executed about 13 years since, though it was not generally known that our great portrait painter had ever had the author of Waverley for a sitter, and much regret has frequently been expressed at the supposed omission. In comparing this portrait of Sir Wal ter with these with which the public are already 'amiliar, one is struck with the immense superiority of Lawrence over all his competitors in the power which he possessed of seizing upon and conveying to his canvass the most intellectual expression of his subjects, The admirers of the novelist will be pleased to find that the look of slyness, nay, almost of low cunning, which his less skilful limners have attributed to him, and which they won dered how such a man could ever possess, was not the real cha racter of his head, but that its true expression was that of calm reflection, but with an eye which would evidently brighten up at the first merry thought that might occur to his mind. The engraving, which when finished will be one of the best that has been produced for a long time, is executed by Mr. Robinson, the engraver of the Wolf and the Lamb.'

Charles Re.rworthy, an elderly man, a school master, at No. 29, Dartmouth•street, Broadway, Westminster, was brought up in custody, and placed at the bar before Mr. GREGORIE, yesterday, charged with assaulting, with intent to violate, the person of Caroline Smith, a child of eleven years of age. The complainant, an intelligent child, lives in the service of Mr. Fone, a professional singer, who lodges in the same house with the prisoner, who occupies two rooms. In one he carries on his school, and sleeps in the other. On Sunday even ing, Mrs. Fone left the complainant in her room while she went out, and desired her to take charge of the baby. While alone, the prisoner came in and gave her 6d. (The child here described the nature of the assault, which is unfit for publication.) When her mistress came home, she told her of the prisoner's conduct towards her, and she immediately took her to Mr. Painter, a surgeon, in the Broadway, who was of opinion that the capital charge could not be sustained against the prisoner. Information was given to the police, and he was apprehended on Monday. Mr. GREGORIE asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge against him ? The prisoner, in his defence, admitted having given the child 6d., for which, he said, she would do anything. Mr. GREGORIE, after some observations on the prisoner's conduct, committed him for trial fur the misdemeanour, and ordered that he should give 24 hours' notice of bail. The witnesses were bound over to prosecute. The prisoner is well known in the neighbourhood, and was always considered a very moral and reli gious character. lie was then removed from the bar. A police-constable of Brighton arrived in town yesterday morning, and gave information of a most daring robbery, which occurred on Sunday evening last, at the house No. 13, Royal-crescent, Brighton. It appeared that the house was feloniously en tered between 6 and 9 o'clock in the evening, and robbed of a large quantity of jewellery, consisting of diamond earrings, gold chains, rings, brooches, brace lets, &c., of every description, valued at nearly 1,0001. No trace has been discovered of the thieves, and a re ward of 2001. has been offered for their apprehension. HATT ON- GARDEN. Yesterday, James Fox, the driver of the cab No. 111, was brought before Mr. ROGERS, charged with furiously driving his cab in the New-road, on the 7th of November, and with violently assaulting Mr. James Masters, of No. 10, Alfred-place, who re monstrated with him upon the heedless and danger ous manner in which he was proceeding along that crowdded thoroughfare. - The defendant was convicted in the penalty of 51., and in default of payment was committed to prison for six weeks. UNION-HALL. Some days ago an account appeared under the head of this office of the apprehension of a person named Goode, on the alleged charge of aiding in the escape of Captain Nicoll, on the retired list in the army, against whom an offence of an abominable de scription was preferred by a lad named Pearce, whom he had enticed to a cottage, near the Zoological gardens, under the pretence of employing him as his servant. Since the voluntary confession made by the boy Pearce, implicating Captain Nicoll, the latter has absconded, and although every effort has been made to discover the place of his retreat, it has not been yet ascertained. In the course, however, of the inquiries, made by the police since Goode has been in custody, evidence of the strongest nature, implicating other parties concerned in a similar offence to that which has been alleged against the individual who absconded, has been brought to light; and on Monday evening Captain Beauclerk, who is represented to be in the army, and allied to a family of great respectability, was taken into custody. Yesterday morning Goode, Captain Beau clerk, and a young lad named Williams, were brought up from Horsemonger-lane gaol, and on being placed at the bar, the witnesses were exa mained, and the following is the substance of their evidence against the accused parties. Elizabeth Taylor, a married woman, was engaged by Goode to take care of a small house belonging to him, called White Cottage, situate in a lonely part of Vauxhall, and which place he was about to let. This was about six weeks ago, and she had permission to have her husband and mother to live in the cottage with her, the former being generally from home at work, except during the night. Shortly after Mrs. Taylor became an inmate of the cottage, she noticed that several very young lads', and middle-aged men were in the habit of calling upon Mr. Goode, who, although he did not usually sleep there, generally carne three or four times a week. Oa those occasions that any persons called to look after Mr. Goode, he directed Mrs. Taylor to show them into a room in the cottage called the Green room, but was desired not to enter the room herself, as her services would not be required. The wit ness recollected, about three months ago, the prisoner Williams calling at the White cottage in the even ing, and he and Goode going into the G reen - roo m togeth er , an d h er sus picions being excited in conse quence of the mystery of so many young lads and men coming to the place, she was determined on watching on th e ni g ht in question. She had been, however, previously sent out for some sweet oil by Gvude, and on her return with the article she (PRICE 7D.) handed it to him, and went back into the kitchen. At this time neither her husband nor mother were in the cottage, and to satisfy her curiosity she pro ceeded from the kitchen, all the rooms being on the ground floor, to 'the door of the Green-room, and having applied her eye to the key-hole had a view of the prisoners in such a situation that left no doubt as to their brutal intentions. The witness sub sequently mentioned the circumstance to her mother and a Mrs. Jones, and declared her intention to them of quitting a place where such disgusting scenes were going forward. The witness added, that when the two officers came to the cottage and announced themselves, she at once said that she knew what they were come about, and expressed her conjectures to the officers. Goode's legal adviser cross-examined the witness, but failed in shaking her testimony as to the princi pal points in her statement. Two police inspectors of the A division, who have been extremely vigilant in their exertions to dis cover parties alleged to be implicated in the commis sion of offences of the horrible nature alluded to, were examined, and they confirmed that part of Mrs. Taylor's evidence with respect to what she had said with reference to the charge against Goode when they entered the cottage, after having taken him into custody. A boy, named John Steyne Veres, was examined, and his evidence was to the following effect : He stated that he lived with Captain Beauclerk, at No. 22, Spring-place, Paddington. He has seen Captain Beauclerk, Goode, and Captain Nicoll together. He saw them on the day previously to Goode being apprehended at Captain Beauclerk's cottage, at Paddington. They were all in the room together, and witness being present also, observed Captain Nicoll give a letter to Goode, desirihg him to take it to his agent, Mr. Code, in Fludyer street, and that he would there be enabled to get some advance of money on his half-pay. The witness also said Captain Nicoll gave another letter into the hands of Goode, and they conversed together on the subject of this last epistle, which was dated from Folkestone, in order to induce a belief that the writer (Captain Nicoll) was at that sea-port. It will be recollected that a letter, dated from Folke stone, was found in the possession of Goode when he was taken into custody on the charge of aiding in the escape of Captain Nicoll, and owing to the cir cumstance, an officer was despatched to Folkstone in the hope of apprehending Nicoll, but it was soon discovered that the officer was on the wrong scent. The witness Veres stated, that on the occasion alluded to, after some further conversation between Captain Nicoll, Goode, and Captain Beauclerk, the two former left the place together, Captain Beau clerk giving his cloak to Captain Nicoll. This wit ness had given evidence on the preceding evening before Mr. MURRAY against Captain Beauclerk of such a description as to call upon the Magistrate to remand him with the other prisoners to a future day, when more of the gang are likely to be in custody. HAMPSTEAD SABBATH-PROTECTION SOCIETY. A public meeting of the supporters of this insti tution was held last night at the Holly-bush Tavern, Hampstead. SAMUEL HOARE,Esq., having taken the chair, ob served, that every ordinance of God was intended for the happiness of mankind, and when any ordi nance was disregarded it carried its punishment with it. Rest was necessary to recruit feeble na ture, and it was a right to which man was enC tied that he should have that rest. Since the for mation of this society the public mind had been awakened to the subject ; and as this was a time for advocating public rights, he hoped that no effort would be spared to secure the object which had oc casioned the formation of this society. Mr. G. T. LAY, the Secretary, then proceeded to read a report of the proceedings of the Committee, which chiefly consisted of arguments in favour of an entire suspension of business on the Sabbath, and concluded by stating that the Committee, having divided the parish into districts, went from house to house to induce tradesmen to sign an engagement of mutual defence, but they had refrained from giving any just cause for the inference that they were fond of taking the oversight of other men's matters. During the reading of the report considerable alarm was excited by part of the platform giving way. The room was crowded to excess, and as there were many females the consequences would have been serious, had not the Chairman, with great presence of mind, prevailed on the audience to keep their seats. Shortly afterwards Mr. Hume entered the room, and was received with deafening cheers. Mr. W. A. Garratt was about to speak, when a cry was made to make way for the females to leave the room. While this was attempted a private con ference took place between some gentlemen on the platform. Cries of " Adjourn" were raised, and The CHAIRMAN rose and said, the disorder which prevailed was so totally inconsistent with the object of the meeting, that as Chairman he felt himself bound to declare that the meeting was now dissolved. This announcement was followed by considerable uproar, and loud cries for Mr. Hume. A few minutes of disorder having elapsed, Mr. HUME rose, and was saluted with loud cheers. Mr.Hoare stood between Mr. Hume and the audience, and endeavoured to dissuade him from speaking. At length his voice was heard, amidst conflicting cheers and hisses, saying that the conduct of those around him was most disgraceful. He entreated, that if they were gentlemen they would not conduct themselves as they were now doing. He had re ceived a letter inviting him to attend this meeting, which he understood was convened to discuss a most important question. He returned an answer to that letter, stating that he should be absent from home all day, having to go to Harrow and Edgeware, but that he would call in upon the meeting on his return. When lie made his appearance he was quite surprised to hear Mr. Hoare complain of dis order, as though he had interrupted the meeting.— (Cries of " No," arid " Yes.") He wanted to aid and assist in the object of the meeting.—(Hisses and cheers.) He had the greatest respect for Mr. Hoare, and he expected and hoped he would do him the justice to say that lie had not disturbed the meeting.—(Uproar, and cries of " The meet ing is not dissolved, go on I") Mr. Hoare and several persons novv surrounded Mr. Hume, and persisted in charging him with coming purposely to interrupt the proceedings. Mr. Hume was heard amid the din to say that he had been deceived; that he came with the best intentions, and that he had brought (pointing to a bundle of papers in his hand) some important documents relative to the object of the meeting. One of the persons who surrounded him, and who conducted himself with great violence throughout the evening, said Mr. Hurne was not acting like a Christian. He seemed very indignant at the remark, and replied, " I am as good a Christian as you, Sir, and don't insult me. The same person who thus attacked Mr. Hume, on perceiving reporters present, exclaimed, " Reporters ! How came they here ? They ought not to be allowed !" The uproar was now be yond description ; at length the call for Mr. Hume to come forward became very general, arid he again forced his way to the front of the platform. lie said he was now told that this was a private, a pa rochial meeting, and not a public one, and that he ought not to have appeared,—(Cries of " No, no;" 4;7 ;?!.. s `'~ sS l ' 4 ••(-- and uproar.) He regretted mush if he had bean the cause of the ptesent disorder.—(" No, no.") If he had been so, he was so innocently ; and he was equally innocent of having any political object in view on the present occasion.—(Hissing and loud cheers.) He begged now respectfully to take his leave, because it would be repeated that he' had in terrupted the meeting. He came prepared to add his voice and assistance in the cause which had led the calling together of this meeting, but as he was prevented he should now retire. . _ - This avowal was answered by cries of "No," and a proposition that Mr. Hume should take the chair; he, however, took no notice of it, and in a short time left the room. Mr. KELLY was heard addressing those members of the committee who remained on the platform, and the chairman. He complained that the chairman had created all the disturbance; there had been a little alarm in an early period of the meeting in con sequence of the insecurity of the platform, which he doubted not would have been made much stronger If men of such weight as the chairman and his co terie had been expected.—(Laughter.) Mr. Hume was sitting quietly reading a paper, the alarm bad subsided, and everything was likely to go on in pro per order, when the chairman jumped up and pro ceeded to dissolve the assembly.—(Hear, and laughter.) He was pursuing his observations, many 1,1 which we lost in consequence of the noise, when Nlr. Hoare and other gentlemen left the platform. The majority of the assembly, about 400 persons, still remained, and amused themselves by joking with some of the committee, who, they alleged, had back and side doors to their premises, by which they admitted customers on the Sabbath day clandestinely. A gentleman, named LEE, at last rose and said, though he regretted the proceedings that had taken place, the abject for which they met was a good one, and ought not to be frustrated. He wanted a chairman to be appointed, that he might have an opportunity of proposing a resolution that another meeting should be called to pursue that object, but the assembly would not hear him. He entreated them all to desist from doing any work at all on Sundays, and to keep the Sabbath holy. A man whose name we understood to be SURETY, called out, "Let the Bishops, and Parsons, and rich men, set us the example."—(Laughter and "beers.) There was now a cessation of hostilities for about a quarter of an hour, but the parties remained sta tionary. It was, however, quite evident that an overwhelming majority were either in favour of Mr. Hume, or opposed to the object of the meeting. At length Mr. HOARE returned, and having eyed the Els.. 4embly for some minutes, said he had lived in Hampstead forty years, and he knew all the Hamp stead men perfectly well, and he could positively state that there were only a few Hampstead men present, and those he could mark.—(Hisses and uproar.) He called upon them all to leave the room quietly.—(Laughter.) "Will you leave the room or will you not ?" exclaimed Mr. Hoare with great vehemence.—(Silence, but no movement.) "If you don't go out directly I will order the police in to clear the place." Mr. Hoare, we understand, is a Magistrate. The beadle of the parish appeared, and in a few minutes the people left the room, but not without murmurs. Mr. Hoare threatened to take two persons into custody, but they dared him to do so at his peril, and l►e then suffered them to depart quietly. Altogether it was one of the most extraordinary scenes we ever witnessed, and from the feeling evinced before Mr. Hume's appearance, it is very prohable that the meeting would have been a failure, merely on account of the opposition shown to its object. REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—Died, on Mon day, in Lambeth 'Workhouse, Mrs. E. BEVERLEY, an actress of some celebrity at Covent-garden and Drury-lane Theatres. Owing to adverse circumstances, she became so very poor that she was taken to the above house, on the 12th inst., in a complete state of destitution and wretched ness. We understand that some few years since her 615- band was proprietor or lessee of the Bath and Bristol The atres. She was in her 41st year. Prier to her dissolu tion, she stated she had a relative in the neighbourhood of Waterloo-road. On application being made to her rela tives about her burial, it was stated that they had not the means to pay for her funeral. It is much to be regretted that a female well known to the theatrical world should be buried at the expense of the par:tel. Yesterday an inquest was held at the work house, Hammersmith, on the body of a female infant, which was sent in a band-box to Mrs. FINDE, matron of Hammersmith workhouse. The box came by coach, and it appeared that it had been booked by a little boy. Mrs. Fitinit said, that on opening the box, she felt the cold cheek of the deceased, and exclaimed, " My God ! some one has sent a dead child." Having recovered from her astonishment, upon further examination, witness found a letter, of which the following is a copy :—" It is from your affectionate niece. I will come as soon as I can. Bury the dear little baby—bury it as soon as you can." Witness solemnly declared that the charge was a base libel upon her family, which was most respectable, and that they would do no such thing. She suspected a woman► who was at one time an inmate of the workhouse, and who declared that if she were again in the family way, she would never come to the workhouse again, but would send them a present they little dreamt of. Verdict—. Found Dead in a Box. Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. STIRLING, at the Adam and Eve, Chelsea, on the body of Mr. CHARLES HILD, a courier to the Hanoverian Con. sul, who destroyed himself by jumping over Battersea. bridge, on Sunday evening last, and was drowned. From the evidence before the Jury it appeared the deceased had lived with a widow lady of the name of ARTHUR, in God frey-street, Chelsea, and, from the evidence of the police constable, was much attached to her. He said the de ceased dined and supped with him on Sunday last, and he persuaded him to sleep at Chelsea, lest be should go to her and get into trouble again, as he bad been twice charged with an assault on her, when he said, "My God, Ido love her, and cannot help it." He returned home with him, and cried bitterly several times daring the even ing. He left a little before I 0 o'clock, and was perfectly sober. Verdict—Temporary Insanity. DEATH OF A CHILD, FROM IMPROPER TREATMENT BY • QUACK DOCTRESS.—AU inquest was held on Saturday night, at the Black Horse, High-street, Maryleboue, on the body of MART LANDON, aged five, the (laughter of Mr. LANDON, of 2, South-street, Man. Chester-square, fishmonger. It appeared that the child, in September last, was suffering under a violent scorbutic humour, accompanied by what is called a " scalied head." Mr. CARTER, surgeon, of Snth-street, attended the child. He said be prescribed for her until the 4th inst., and under his treatment she had got gradually better, and he thought in five or six weeks would have got quite welt. On the sth of November he called, and was informed that the father had taken the child to a Mrs. STILLER, at High gate, who was said to be a quack doctress, and famous for her skill in the treatment of the complaint under which the child laboured.—Mr. LANDON said he was strongly advised to place the child with an old lady named Mrs. SPILLER, living in the Archway-road, just above the Tunnel at Highgate. On Wednesday week he took her there, and Mrs. SPILLER ordered the head to be shaved, which was done, and a plaister was applied to her head. From that time the child became gradually worse; the child was light-headed from the Friday to the Sunday. When the drawing-plaister was removed on Sunday, Mrs. STILLER put on what she called a healing-plaister; on the Friday following she ordered six drops of laudanum, and on the next day the same dose, to be administered to, the child ; in the interval she continued to get worse ; ots Tuesday last he again took the child to Mrs. Svu.i.tik, accompanied by a friend, and she applied another plaister; witness asked her if she did not think it advisable to have further medical aid, and she said, "No, the child is getting better," adding, that there was no danger, and that wit uess would see a great change in a day or two ; she re commended witness to give the child brandy and water, gin and water, or sago, or anything that would keep her alive, and bid him have patience, and only be satisfied and all would be well ; the same evening the child was so weak as not to be able to walk ; she gave him a box of oint ment, which was to h e app li e d to t h e c hild' s j o i nts on th e directed, a ni nd orn w in h g ile w d i o t i n n e g u'e so w t i h fe e appoporliedchitlhdesocirneatnimeendt as so violently as to During the the day she called continually for drink, and tow he heard on the opposite side of the street. ards evening she died in excruciating pain.—The Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against CATHARINE SPILLER, who was conveyed to Newgate upon the Co. runerie wsrrsnt, in the custody of REDDING, the bead(' of the district, and the witnesses were bound over to pro.. accuse, ")( NOTICE is hereby given, that application is intended to be made to Parliament in the ensuing Session, for leave to bring in a Bill or Bills to extend the term, and to alter, amend, and enlarge, the Powers of an Act of Parliament. passed in the 51st year of the reign of his late Majesty, King George the Third, entitled " An Act for making a Public Carriage Road from Kentish Town to Upper Holloway, in the County of Middlesex," and also of a certain other Act, made and passed in the 52d year of the reign of his said late Majesty, entitled, " An Act for altering and enlarging the Powers of an Act passed in the last Session of Parliament for making a Public Carriage Road from Kentish Town to Upper Holloway, in the County of Middlesex."—Dated this 15th day of November, 1832.

A PARTICULAR EPIDEMIC DISEASE IN FRANCHE-COMTE.—For some weeks past a disease has prevailed in several communes which is considered to be a variety of ergotisme, and is attributed to an unusual quan tity of raphanistrum in the rye crop of this year. The mortality hitherto has not been great, but recovery seems very slow and imperfect.—Medical and Surgical Journal. A female, about 35 years of age, named M'CLARE, the wife of a boot-closer in Nevill's-court, Fetter-lane, committed suicide yesterday, by cutting her throat with a razor. She left her own house about 11 o'clock in the morning, and went into her mother-in-law's house, which was in the same court, when she immedi ately pulled out a razor, and such was the determined manner in which she effected her purpose, that her head was nearly severed from her body, and she died almost immediately. No cause can be assigned for the act, as she was on excellent terms with her husband, to whom she had been married about 17 years, and her circumstances were easy. It was, however, remarked, that for the last few days she had appeared in a rather desponding state, and had even mentioned to a female about a week ago that something was always prompting her to cut her throat. The inquest will he held this day. We understand that on Saturday one of the principal military outfitting warehouses at the west end of the town shipped warlike accoutrements at the Custom house for the entire French battalion, composed of 900 men, who are about to lend an active support to the Con stitutional cause in Portugal. The vessels freighted for the purpose to which we have alluded, are the Lord of the Isles, a steamer that plyed during the summer between London and Guernsey, and the Industry and Jane Ingram schooners, which are expected to call off the French coast to convey part of the troops to Oporto. Another steam-vessel has been taken up, which will leave the river in the course of the present week, to embark the remainder of the French corps at (we believe) the port of Cherburg. The Lord of the Isles also carries out clothing and accoutrements for the Scotch brigade, which are now on their voyage from Glasgow to Portugal. The Lord of the Isles is expected to accomplish the voyage in six days. In order to show the judicious use to which the funds in the hands of the agents have been applied, it may be proper to state, that, on hearing of a fruit-ship proceeding to St. Michael's or any other of the Western Islands, they invariably freight her with warlike stores and other necessaries for the army at Oporto, by which the expenses of conveyance are pro bably reduced one-half. Don PEDRO is esteemed a punc tual paymaster here, and we are told that, during the last nine months, ono military accoutrement-maker has re ceived no less than 20,0001. of his money. Colonel CREIGHTON, who has been employed here in raising a regiment of cavalry, has left town on his return to Oporto, after having accomplished the object of his mission. SUPPOSED MURDER AND ROBBERY AT CAMDEN•TOWN.—During the whole of yesterday and Sunday last the inhabitants of Kentish and Camden towns have been considerably excited, in consequence of a report that a man well known in the neighbourhood, named JOHN WHITBREAD, had been robbed and murdered in an adjacent field, the particulars of which are as follow :—lt appears that WHITBREAD, who is a cripple, was in the habit of walking with a crutch and stick, anti resided with his wife and son-in-law, in Mansfield-street, Kentish-town. The former is a washerwoman and mangler, and worked for many of the respectable inhabitants in the neighbour hood, and the deceased was in the h ibit of making out her bills, carrying home her work, and receiving th e money for her on Saturday evenings. On Saturday afternoon last he was employed in his usual state of health and spirits, as sisting his wife, and between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening he was directed to take a bundle of linen, and a bill for 12s. 9d., to the house of a gentlemen at Camden town. At about 7 o'clock his son-in-law had occasion to proceed in the same direction, and on his arrival near Camden-town bridge, his attention was attracted by groans, as if some person was in distress. On proceeding towards the spot he found the deceased lying on the ground in a state of insensibility , u nable to speak, his crutch, stick, and hat lying some distan ce from his person. He immediately procured a cabriole t, and took him to his re sidence, when, on examination, a mark of violence was discovered on the temple, which was evidently the effect of a dreadful blow. Medical aid was instantly called in, but be was quite dead. Inquiries were made at the house of the gentleman, where it was ascertained he had left the goods and received the amount of the bill, with which he quitted the place. On searching his pockets, 9d. was all that was found, and it is supposed that he was returning home near the above bridge, which is the nearest way to his residence, when he was attacked and robbed by some ruffian, who selected the above spot, which is rather soli tary, and distant from the neighbouring houses. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. G UILDHALL. Yesterday the drivers of the Paddington omni buses, No. 173 and 156, attended before Mr. Alder man KELLY, to answer the complaint of James Stog den, one of the city police, for racing against each other at a furious rate along Holborn on Friday evening. S'ogden stated that he was standing at the corner of Brooke-street, when the omnibuses came in view, on their way to the Bank, and one of them drew up as if he expected some person to alight or get in. At this moment the other driver, who was behind, made a pu-h to get a-head, on seeing which the other omnibus dashed on, and a tremendous race ensued, which excited the attention of many persons in the street. If they had not been checked by lines of carriages on Holborn-bridge, complainant would not have been able to overtake them and ascertain their numbers. The defendants both denied that they were driving at the speed described; and the driver of No. 173 took advantage of a clerical error in the summons. A fresh summons for the same offence was, how ever, immediately issued against him. The case against No. 156 then proceeded. Mr. Alderman KELLY should fine the defendant 50s. and costs. The man pleaded that he had a very large family to support on low wages, and his master gave him a good character for steady driving for three years past. Mr. Ald. KELLY, however, said his duty to the public would not allow him to listen to this plead ing. The offence of racing in the streets was one of a very serious complexion. The defendant paid the fine. BOW-STREET. A man named John Lightly was yesterday charged by Mr. John Gray, a wine -merchant, with stealing from his pocket a note-case, containing a bill of ex change for 2,5001., and other papers. The prosecutor, at half-past eleven o'clock on the previous night, was coming out of the Adelphi Theatre, when he observed several suspicious-look ing young men around the doors. Witness then felt two or three attempts at his pockets, and he immedately placed his hand on his note-case, which was in his coat-pocket. He had just stepped into the street when he found that his pocket-book was gone. At this moment he observed a man re sembling the prisoner in figure and general appear ance, step off the curb-stone between two carriages that were standing opposite the box door of the the atre,and at the same time he saw his pocket-book drop between the carriages, close to where the man was standing. Witness picked up his pocket-book, which contained a bill of exchange for 2,5001., and other papers of no consequence but to himself. Soon after a police constable brought the prisoner to ,witness, and asked him if that was the man by whom he had been robbed. Witness replied, that he believed he was. Thomas Kearney, a police constable, F 146, cor roborated the statement of the prosecutor. Sir F. ROE asked the prisoner if he wished to say any thing to the charge? Mr. Humphreys, who appeared as the solicitor for the prisoner, had not yet consulted with his client, and was therefore unable to advise him as to what answer he should give. Sir F. ROE, without at all intending to offend Mr. Humphreys, must observe, that a solicitor fur a prisoner had no right to advise him as to what an swer he should give to questions put to him by a Magistrate. God forbid that he (Sir F. Roe) should ever call upon a prisoner to say anything tending to criminate himself, nor did he consider that a Magis trate was justified in putting interrogatory questions to a person charged before him. The law, however, empowered Magistrates to take the examinations of prisoners, and indeed it seemed but rational and pro per that every fair means should be resorted to tend ing to elucidate the truth and forward the ends of justice. A Magistrate had a right to be informed of everything connected with the case before him, and upon that principle he was justified in question.. ing the prisoner with a view to ascertain whether the account he gave was true or false. If upon in quiry a party charged should have spoken the truth, it was right that his innocence should be made ma nifest as soon as possible; but if, on the contrary, he was found to have uttered falsehoods, his guilt would be more easily proved. Mr. Humphreys said that it was the right of every Englishman charged with an offence to procure the assistance of a professional adviser, whose duty it was to defend lkis client in the best manner he could, and to offer him such advice as was best calculated to promote his interests. Sir F. ROE would willingly submit the question to the decision of the Court of King's Bench, and abide by the result. He was quite sure that in many instances justice had been defeated, in conse quence of the interference of attorneys who were permitted to visit prisoners before they were ex amined by the Magistra; es. He knew an instance of a man, against whom no less than seven indict ments were preferred, but who yet managed to escape conviction, an attorney, who was permitted to visit him in the place where he was locked up, having posaessed himself of a seal which the pri soner had in his possession, and, if produced, would have furnished conclusive evidence against him.A case also had very lately occurred, in which a thief threw a pocket handkerchief to his solicitor, in order that it might not be produced as evidence against him. The conduct of the solicitor on that occasion drew from the Judge who tried the case some very se vere remarks. Mr. Humphreys said that every solicitor who had a regard to his own character would be careful to confine himself to professional assistance only , and never to render himself liable to the charge of conniving at the guilt of his client, or endeavour to shield him from punishment by defeating the ends of justice. Sir F. ROE—Respectable professional men would of course act as you have described, but there are others who it is well known adopt a different course. The prisoner declined to say anything, and was fully committed for trial. MARLB 01W U GR-S TREE T. Yesterday, John White, a respectable -looking young man, was brought before Mr. CONANT and Mr. DYER, charged with having, by means of a fictitious character, obtained a situation in the fa mily of Sir Stratford Canning, his Majesty's late ambassador to the Sublime Porte and the Court of Russia. Sir Stratford Canning deposed, that a few days previous to the Bth instant, being in want of a foot man, the prisoner applied t o hi m for the situation, and stated that he had lived for eighteen months in the service of a lady of the name of Hoare, No. 9 , Cumberland -street, Portman-square. Believing the representations of the prisoner, he engaged him, provided his character answered. On the following day the prisoner called with a written one, purport ing to be written by a lady of the name of Hertford, who stated in the letter that Mrs. Hoare was out of town, but that she (Mrs. Hertford) would an swer any questions relative to the character of White, who had lived with Mrs. Hoare for 18 months, and bore and unexceptionable charac ter for honesty and sobriety. In consequence of this representation he was induced to engage the prisoner, who up to the present period had con ducted himself with the strictest propriety. Yes terday morning cireutnetances (rewired which no. (limed him to suspect that the prisoner had come into his family with a false character; and to remove this doubt, he sent the prisoner with a letter to re quest an interview with either Mrs. Hoare or Mrs. Hertford. After the prisoner had been absent some time he returned, and said that Mrs. Hertford was confined to her bed by indisposition, and conse quently unable to see any person, and that Mrs. Hoare was in the country, but, owing to her tra velling about, her address was not known. This satisfied his suspicions that the prisoner had im posed on him, and induced him to give him into custody. Ballard deposed, that in consequence of the appli cation of Sir Stratford Canning he was sent to his residence, when the prisoner was ordered up stairs. Upon being charged with obtaining the situation by means of a false character, he instantly admitted such to be the case,observing that he had no other means of obtaining a situation. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he had lived in the family of Mrs. Hoare (which was proved to be the case), but not for the length of time he had stated in the letter. Not being able to obtain a character, he was induced to accept the offer of a person of the name of Detour to write one, and which enabled him to obtain Sir Stratford Can ning's place. Mr. DYER—Who is Detour? Prisoner—He formerly lived in the service of Prince Talleyrand, but when I met him he had left. Since that period he has obtained a commission in the service of Don Pedro, and is at present in Oporto. Mr. DYER had no doubt in his own mind, from the style of the letter, that it was written by an adept. It was highly essential that these cases should be visited with the utmost severity, and he was therefore inclined to inflict the full penalty upon the prisoner for the offence. Mr. CONANT fully concurred in the opinion. The prisoner was then fined in the full penalty of 201. and 10s. costs, and in default was committed to the House of Correction for two months to hard labour.
