T HIS Spirit having acquired so great a degree of celebrity in the metropolis, as well as in the country, Messrs- BROWNING and SON, Distillers, Smithfield Bars, the patentees, are induced to state the claims it has to public preference. The Rectification by a new and iiupt urea process kc;.. 6 carried to the utmost point, perfect purity and wholesome ness is attained. In flavour it equals the finest Schiedam Hollands, th e high duty upon which has for a very long period most materially circumscribed its consumption. By this important discovery, the public is enabled to enjoy this delicious beverage at as cheap a rate (the increased strength considered) as any spirit that is consumed, and whether taken neat or diluted as Hollands and water, it is equally gratifying to the palate. It may confidently be Said to be the perfection of British Distillation.

ADVICE. —When Men of Education and professional skill use persevering endeavours to discover the most safe and certain method of treating a few prevailing diseases, the successful result of their expe rience is the best proof of superiority. Messrs. GOSS anti Co., Surgeons, have been induced to make the cure of the following the object of their par ticular study, viz., a certain disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of intoxication, and its concomitants, Stric tures and Gleets, which, by an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured ; as also debility, whether arising from Bacchanalian indulgences, long residence in warm climates, or a secret solitary vice, too often unhappily pur sued by the youth of both sexes, in the one causing steri lity or barrenness, and in the other a numerous train of nervous diseases, which, if not timely remedied, termi nates in impotence anti consumption. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, or arising from any other course, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, as regularly educated Surgeons of London, they offer a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. Messrs. Goss and Co., exclusively professing the cure of these particular complaints, in order that they may not he, by a tnistiken few, marked with the obloquy so justly attached to the ignorant empiric, think it but justice to themselves to state, that they have been properly educated and initiated into every branch of the profession (certifi cates of which, from different HOSPITALS, and testi monials front the most eminent Professors, they have to convince any inquirer) that the success resulting from their endeavours first induced them to quit the practice of the general practitioner; and they presume that their preten sions constitute a fair ground for the unprecedented confi dence with which they have, by the Public, been so libe rally honoured. The result of a long and extensive practice has enabled them, by a superior method, to remove Venereal Coin plaints how e v e r inveterate cr complicated, without sub jecting the Patient to the least restraint in diet or exer cise; and in recent cases, where an early application is made on discovery of the infection, they frequently perform a cure in the short space of a few days. The unprece dented success o f th e ir mode of treatment, which has never t ueen known to fail in one single instance in a practice of twenty years, during whichperiod many thousand persons . of both sexes' method s have been cure p d, even after severe anti iniu without had been pursued by other practitioners advice. et, induces them to thus publicly offer their To be consult e d d a ily, by P a ti en ts of either Sex, with secrecy, delicacy, and attention.—Letters from the country, containing the particulars of the case, enclosing a remit tance, duly attended to, and Advice and Medicine for warded to any part of the world.

ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. —A young tradesman, of re s p ec t a bl e f am il y an d connec tions, disappeared most unaccountably from the neigh hourbood of Chancery-lane, on Sunday last, and has not since been beard of. He had passed the evening in coin piny with a young lady, to whom he was paying his ad dresses, and left her in his usual high spirits ; and the last that was seen of him was about 12 on Sunday night, near St. Dunstin's Church, in Fleet-street, where he parted with a friend and went towards home. No further trace of him has been discovered, and as no possible motive can be assigned for his voluntarily absenting himself, it is feared that he must have met with some fatal accident. He is about 27 years of age, and 5 feet 9 inches in height, of fair complexion, with light blue eyes, light hair, and sandy whiskers. At the time above-mentioned he hid cash in his pockets, and a silver-watch, with a brown hair guard attached to it. He was dressed in a blue frock coat, black waistcoat, and dark trousers. Inquiries hive been made at the hospitals and other places, and on Thursday, in consequence of a paragraph in th e news paper, his anxious relatives went to the neighbourhood of the Tower, where the body of a man was said to have been found drown e d. Th e y could learn nothing, however, re specting him they were in search of, and they were in formed that similar inquiries had been made that day by the friends of no less than half a dozen individuals who had recently disappeared. (From the Moniteur of Wednesday, Sept. 26.) PARIS, SEPT. 25.—For a long time past the number of cases of cholera announced in the sanitary bulletins of Paris is extremely small, and as there is reason to think that part of the deaths now ascribed to the disorder are mostly owing to other causes, we may infer that the cholera morhus has ceased to exist in the capital, at least with the epidemic character peculiar to it. In this state of things the publication of the sanitary bulletins of Paris is of no use ; the bulletin which we publish to-day will, therefore, be the last. If, however, (contrary to all probability), the epidemic should again become serious, the Magistrates, with the frankness which they have hitherto shown, will not fail to make known every day the sanitary state of Paris. (From the Messager des Chambres of Wednesday.) PARIS, SEPT. 25.—We submit the following re flections to the consideration of the most impartial persons : The _ilioniteur of this day contains a telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, addressed by M. de Ray neval, our Ambassador in Spain, which was sent from St. Ildefonso on the 20th September. The couriers from Madrid to Bayonne take 35 or 36 hours to perform the journey. Supposing that the despatch, dated the 20th, did not leave till mid night of that day, it ought to have arrived at Bayonne on Saturday the 22d at noon, and at Paris some minutes afterwards ; yet it is not published in the Moniteur till the 25th : it has been kept very secret from the public till this morning: it is dated from Bayonne the 24th ; so that, if we were to de pend on the illoniteur, the courier from Madrid to Bayone would have been 96 hours on the road, in ite.id of 36. Let us compare this delay with what took place on 'Change upon the death of the King of Spain. The Spanish Renter, which were at 581, fell to 531, at which prices they closed on Saturday. At the opening of 'Change on Monday, they were at 53/, and the last price was 551. To-day it has been 57, which is 31 higher than at the opening yesterday. This is just the counterpart to what passed a year ago, almost on the same day, with respect to the telegraphic despatch from Palk which was put up at 'Change at half-past two o'clock the day after it arrived. The comments which everybody makes on all this are very unpleasant, and it would have been vet) , prudent to avoid them. (From the Journal du Commerce of Wednesday.) PARIS, SEPT. 25.—Can it be true, as the Mes sager affirms, that the obstacle to M. Dupin's be coming President of the Council is, that he insists on having the telegraphs at his disposal, which would derive certain private combinations, as con trary to morality as to the Constitution. And since we have spoken of monopoly, what becomes of the claim of the Government to retain that of the telegraphic communications, to hinder, as it al leges, the public from being deceived by this means? If there had been free telegraphs in the direction of Bayonne, the truth :you'd have been known at the same time as the falsehood, if indeed the falsehood, which the monopoly favours, had ventured to ap pear under such circumstances. (From the Journal des Debats.) The sloop Ariane has left Cherbourg for Spit head, where the British squadron is to assemble. All the other vessels are lying at anchor at Cher bourg., ready to sail at the first signal. It is said that the declaration of which the two Admirals are to b.: clic bealcia inffitio ly c.apcut eu from London, to be considered by the French Government. The de parture of the fleet is only retarded by the prelimin ary measures necessary to render the proceedings of the two Governments perfectly simultaneous. The King of Holland has been already informed of the necessity under which he has placed France and England to have recourse to coercive measures to ensure the execution of the treaty of the 24. Articles. He is made aware of the consequences of a continued perseverance in a line of conduct incompatible with the dignity of the Governments which have taken part in this long negotiation, and in a very few days he will be enabled to judge of the general dis position of Europe with regard to Belgium. We earnestly hope that the energetic demonstra tions made by France and England will suffice to accomplish the object they contemplate; but, at all events, the question must be brought to a solution. There can be no further delay. The determination provoked by the peremptory refusal of Holland has been known for the last two days at Brussels, The Belgian Government has now only to gather the fruits of the moderation and patience it has dis played through the course of the negotiation. It has had confidence in its allies, and they will not desert it. - - FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, SE:PT. 2.6.—Five per Cents., 96f. 20c.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION--HO USE. A thief got into the hands of one of the most ex perienced officers in the city of London, in rather a curious way. The fellow, whose name is Wise, had just left his master's premises with a quantity of very elegantly cut glass, which he had taken on the " sly," but which he pretended to be carry ing to a customer, until he got out of the immediate neighbourhood. Forrester, sen., saw him going along, and at one glance perceived that he was loaded with " swag" or stolen property, for he looked, to use the language of the dicer, as if he could see round the corner. Forrester, after follow ing him a short way, threw himself in the way of the prisoner, who took him for one of the Went worth-street purchasers of stolen goods, and gave him an intelligent wink. " What is it," said For rester, "is it heavy ?" " A prime article," said the prisoner, " S'elp me God." " let's look at it," cried Forrester, " before I buy 'em on you:' The prisoner agreed to exhibit his basket of glass, but proposed that they should go into a public house frequented by what are called "swell coves." To this proposition the officer objected, and the ob jection at once excited the suspicions of the priso ner, who turned away, and wanted to repair to ano ther customer ; but upon turning the corner he found that he was held fast by the tail, and then, for the first time, discovered that he was in the bands of a thieftaker and not in those of a receiver. Forrester said that the pris mer appeared to be very much displeased at his mistake, and was un willing to go before the Lord Mayor. The cutting of the glass cost upwards of 51., and if the prisoner had hit upon a more bona fide purchaser, an extremely valuable set of table articles would have been de stroyed. The LORD MAYOR—You had no notice of any thing of the kind ? Forrester—Not the least, my Lord; his time was just come, and he threw himself right into my arms. He said he thought I was one of the Wentworth-street Jews, and they are people who are always on the look out for stray goods. The prisoner was remanded. A gentleman of very respectable connections, and who formerly held a high situation in a public office, was brought up in the custody of John Forrester, jun. One of the clerks of the' Bank of England ated that the prisoner, who had a considerable sum of money in the Bank, went there about a fort. night ago, and applied for a transfer of bank stock. There was a wildness of appearance and manner about the prisoner, and his wish was not complied with, those to whom he addressed himself having had reason to suppose that he was not in his senses. The day before yesterday he went into the same office in the Bank, with a new hatchet in his hand, and asked for the chief accountant, saying, at the same time that he raised the hatchet," You see what he has brought himself to by denying the word." The accountant very prudently withdrew by a back way, and the unfortunate prisoner was taken into custody by two persons in waiting. The prisoner, who was extremely well dressed, but whose beard had evidently not been touched with a razor for a long time, said that nothing would have happened if the word had not been denied, and that he wished for a draft of die Lord Mayor as they would not take his own. Soon afterwards the friends of the prisoner ap peared, and stated that he had lost his wits, in con sequence of a disappointment. He had been 18 years in a Government office, and after so long a service, a young man, who had lately made his ap pearance, was put over his head. He threw up his situation in disgust and rage, after having expostu lated on the subject for some time in vain, and at last he'lost his mental faculties altogether. The LORD MAYOR desired that the poor fellow should be given up to his friends It was stated that he has a wife and two daughters, who are pro vided for, and that of late he had expended madly considerable sums of money. B O W-STREET. Yesterday Mr. W. Gifford, schoolmaster, of High Holborn, was re-examined, before Mr. MlNsitum, and Mr. HALLS, on charges of having stolen from the shops of two silversmiths (Mr. Mott, of Pickett street, Strand, and Mr. Brookes, of the Poultry) two silver cream ewers, under rather curious cir cumstances. The case of Mr. Mott was gone into on Saturday last, when it will be in the recollection of our readers the prisoner alleged that he committed the theft for the purpose of passing through the ordeal of a trial, in order to demonstrate the defec tive state of the criminal jurisprudence of the country. He is the same individual who during the last Session of Parliament flung a handful of printed papers from the gallery into the body of the House of Commons, and who on the trial of two boys at the late Old Bailey Sessions wished to address some observations to the Court, and, on being prevented, threw a pamphlet, which he said he had published on the state of crime in the metropolis, to the pre siding Judge, Mr. Baron Gurney, with a request that his Lordship would at his leisure read it. The charge made by Mr. Mott was clearly established on the former day. Mr. Robert Santy was shopman to Mr. Brookes, and on Friday evening, the 7th of September, the prisoner entered his employer's shop, and asked fur a silver cream ewer. Witness showed him one, and after examining it the prisoner made an inquiry as to the price and weight, but without waiting for a reply, very coolly said, " Good evening, sir," and instantly turned on his heel, and walked out of the shop. Witness ran round the counter and into the street, but the prisoner was out of sight. The ewer produced was the same. The prisoner did not deny the fact ; his motive in this instance, he said, was the same as that which had induced him to walk off with Mr. Mott's ewer. He made no attempt to run away,but merely walked out of the shop. wim;ttc.,l th;. ura c tha n,ccs Th. a t e e r?, was done with extraordinary nonchalence and li beration. The prisoner had spent the greater part of his life in vain endeavours to do away with the criminal code, which he considered most unjust, and ought not to be tolerated in a civilized community. He had written upon this subject. He complained of having been deprived of the napkins and soap which he had provided for his personal comfort and clean liness while in prison. He thought it hard to be huddled up with from 50 to 100 persons in a cell, and kept on bread and water; but what was in his opinion worse than all the rest was the not being allowed to see his friends save through a door, and in the presence of a turnkey. This regulation com pletely deprived prisoners of all opportunity of mak ing a defence, and had his not been published, he should not have been prepared with one. He hoped, however, that his case would attract public curiosity, and that once effected, his object would be answered. This was the motive he had in the commission of the offences; but so far from wishing to retreat from the position in which he had placed himself he was fully determined, with the blessing of God, to go through with his undertaking. Mr. Mrssnum. directed the prisoner to be re moved, and, that order having been complied with, the Magistrate asked if any friend of the prisoner was present. Feddon, a schoolmaster, residing at 43, Stanhope-street, had known the prisoner for a quar ter of a century, and a man of higher honour or of more exalted sentiment could not exist. In his whole life he had never been guilty of a dishonour able act. Mr. MiNsuLLL asked whether the prisoner was considered by his friends to be sane? Mr. Feddon replied that he was a most sensible man on all sub jects, except those relating to criminal laws and po litics ; but that on these his delusions amounted to monanunzia. He had filled many honourable situa tions, and had fought under the Duke of Welling ton at the siege of Rodrigo; the storming of Sala manca, and in other engagements, during the war on the Peninsula. About twenty years „go he con veyed despatches from St. Peteisburgh,entiusted to him by Count Orloff, to this country ; but it was not at all unl;kely that the disappointments which lie experienced on applying to the Government for a reward for his services, might have preyed upon his mind, and given it a bias on political sub jects. He had spent a furtune in publishing pamphlets. Mr. 311Nsuum, asked if lie had received any wounds while in the army? Mr. Feddon replied that he had two,inflicted . Gy a sable, one on the head, and the other on the upper lip. Mr. MINSHULL observed that he was at a loss what to do with the case. Mr. HALLS said that as it was not the duty of a magistrate to try the prisoner's sanity, the best course that could be taken would be to leave a jury to dispose of him. There was no doubt he was sen sible except on politics. Mr. MINSHULL agreed that it would be best to send the case for trial; but he would consider the matter before Saturday, when he ordered the pri soner to be again brought up. The magistrate also directed that, instead of being placed with the other prisoners, he should be provided with accommoda tion in the infirmary of the prison. Webb and Hurst, who stand charged with the Post-otlice robbery, were re-examined. No material evidence was adduced against them, and they were remanded for a week. MARLBORO U GLI-S TI?EE T. Mons. Pierre Maginal, a French Protestant Clergyman, was yesterday brought before Mr. Co- NANT, charged by a policeman of the C division with having created a mob in Piccadilly, near the mansion of the Duke of Wellington , by preaching In the open street, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock at night. Th e policeman found the defendant holding forth Mr. CONANT—Are you not aware that, by creat ing a crowd in a public thoroughfare, you commit r breach of the law ? Defendant—l am obeying thc law of God, who has commanded his Ministers to preach his Gospel. Mr. CONANT—But you should first apply at the Sessions for a license to preach, and you would then be at liberty to preach in places where no interruy tion or disturbance would be occasioned. Defendant—There was no disturbance there, save what the ungodly created. Mr. CONANT—AII crowds are interruptions, and creating them by the means you have pursued con. stitutes an offence. Have you any friend who wilt become answerable for your future conduct ? De fendant—l am at present living at the house of a friend, Dr. Hunter, 28, Grosvenor-place; but he cannot prevent my fulfilling the mission with which the Lord has intrusted me. An elderly lady here rose, and in reply to a ques tion, said" He lives at my house. He stands there to answer for himself. He is a chosen vessel and a servant of the Lord." A young gentleman then came forward, and an nounced himself as the son of Dr. Hunter. He added that the defendant was on a visit to his fa- ther, having only been a fortnight from Edinburgh, where he had acted as the pastor of a dissenting congregation. As the defendant was going to France in a few days, he had no doubt his father would become bound for his future conduct while it, London. Defendant—No earthly power can prevent my obeying the call of the Lord. Blood and fire will soon be in your streets, and the word of the Lord can alone avert those judgments which are prepar ing. Not ten thousand policemen, not one bundled thousand soldiers, can save this city from destruc tion; the word of God can only save it. lam ordained to preach the word, and my first duty is to God; therefore I am bound to preach the Gospel. Mr. CoNANT—But your conduct caused a number of thieves and prostitutes to assemble. Defendant—lt is to them the Gospel ought to be preached. Publicans and sinners, I tell you, shal, go into the kingdom of Heaven, while Pharisees shall be cast out. The defendant continued in this strain for some time, displaying the utmost seriousness of manner; upon which 11r. CO ANT said he could not feel jus tified in allowing him to go until some person be came responsible for his abstinence from preaching in the streets. A messeng er was th en d es p a t c h e d' to Dr. Hunter, arid in the meantime the defendant sat himself down in the office, and pulled out a Bible, which he appeared to peruse. Dr. Huntet shortly afterwards arrived, and, in conversation with the Magistrate, informed him that Mons. Maginal had been regularly educated at a French University as a clergyman, and that he had officiated in that character in Edinburgh some years. He had, how ever, frightened the inhabitants there with his pub lic predictions, and he had been taken up, and cau tioned to practice his exhortations in places less frequented that the public streets. Dr. Hunter added, that the defendant had been on a visit to H Drummond, Eql., of Albany-park, and if the Ma gistrate discharged him he would take him down to that gentleman, for the purpose of consulting with himi tg,te h ir.S2V r so'gffh ie lloM cwlB,4nruti.hqn was utterly useless to enter into any engagement to prevent him from preaching, for be believed the world would soon be at end, and that the end of all things was at hand. They were judging the word of God, and they would find messengers of his math in their streets before long. Dr. Hunter, turning to the defendant, said he must convince him of the necessity of complying with circumstances, quoting a passage from the able, which commanded him, if persecuted in one city, to flee to another. This appeared to have some effect, and Dr. Hun ter, having entered into the requisite sureties, the defendant stepped into his friend's carriage, observ ing that events would shortly show the serious times which were fast approaching. THE LATE M YS TERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE husband of the lady who so mysteriously disappeared a few days ago, while proceeding to purchase some articles of wearing apparel in St. Paul's Church yard, came before Mr. CONANT, to state that a lady, whom he suspected to be his wife, was concealed in a house in Tottenham-court-road. He had disco vered that some articles she was in want of had been purchased by a foreigner, and as he believed she had been inveigled away, and detained against her o,%ii consent, she having no friends in London, he wished the Magistrate to allow an officer to go with him to demand a sight of the lady. Mr. CONANT said he could not assist him, his proper course being to apply to a Judge for an Ha beas Corpus. W OR SHIP- STREET. FATHER AND ON.—Yesterday Mr. Southbey, an elderly respectable tradesman, in North -street, Finsbury-square, appeared before the Sitting Magis trate (Mr..BENETT), with tears in his eyes, to re quest the Magistrate's protection. He said he had a son about 20 years of age, who, for several months past, had conducted himself with so much violence, that he considered his life hourly in danger. The MAGISTRATE immediately granted a peace warrant, which being executed, the unworthy son was in a short time after placed at the bar, when The father stated, that on that morning his son came into his counting-house with a knife in his hand to demand money from him. He said if he did not give it him he would cut his own throat, which he did slightly. The officer who took the prisoner into custody examined his neck before the Magistrate, and found a " deep" cut, not a slight one. The father—Ah, but he afterwards cut my hand in a dreadful manner. lie says that, as long as I live, I shall support him, and that he will not work. He afterwards put himself in a fighting attitude, and offered to fight me. I assure you, your, Worship, my life is in danger from his violence. The prisoner endeavoured to impugn the conduct of his father towards him, but failed. . Mr. BENETT told the prisoner that, unless he ar ranged the matter with his father, he (the Magis trate) must order him to find bail ; or in default of bail, commit him to prison. Prisoner—Commit me then at once, for I had ra ther be in a prison than with my father.—Committed. MAR YLEB ONE. ANOTHER ACCIDENT WITH THE HARROW STEAM. COAClL—Yesterday morning, Mr. Proudfoot, of 89, Wardour-street, Soho, came before Mr. RAW LINSON, the Sitting Magistrate, and requested him to grant a summons against the proprietors of the steam coach running from London to Harrow. Mr. Proud - foot, as he was proceeding along the Harrow-road on the previous evening, accompanied by his wife, in a pony-chaise, perceived the steam carriage coming along at a most furious rate. Ap plicant immediately drew his chaise up as near a , possible to the side of the road, to avoid any ace - dent, and got out and held the reins of his pony, am he began to get restive from the noise proceeding from the steam-carriage. The carriage shortly afiri wards came up, and in passing grazed the . wheel of hi. chaise, which fotetd the pony back a few paces, 6ether with its noise, frightened tl e anr . euch, that he set off at full speed. His wife jumped out, and providentially escaped unhurt ; while applicant hung on the reins, and endeavoured to stop the vehicle, without success. After pro ceeding for about, half a utile he was driven against a mound by the road side, when the gig was upset, and the horse fell, Applicant fortunately escaped with little injury, and a gentleman came up to his assis'ance, who, being informed how the accident occurred, said that he had witnessed a similar acci dent near the same place, only a few days ago, from the steam-carriage. Applicant went to the factory where the steam carriage is kept, yesterday morning, but, instead of receiving any apology, he was loaded with abuse, and told that " he ought to be hung for not umag ing his horse better." Mr. RAWLISSON—And did they realty. say.so ? I can only tell th em t h at if t h ey go on i n this,way they stand a good chance of being hung themselves. Mr. Rawlinson then adverted to the steam-coach very recently running against a house, and carrying part of it away; and, after thanking Mr. Prourrfoot for taking up the matter, directed a summons to be issued against the proprietor, for running a machihe to the great danger and terror of his Majesty's solects. QUEEN-SQUARE. • A thin cadaverous-looking man, with the astound ing name of Augustus Julius arsar, was yesterday placed at the bar before Mr. GREGORIE, charged with violently assaulting a police constable of L d vision. It appeared that on the preceding evening the constable, while on duty, heard a great noise near Lambeth-walk, and on approaching the place he found Augustus Caesar surrounded by a number of persons, whom he was haranguing, and creating a great disturbance. He spoke to Augustus mildly, and requested him to go away, when he up with his fist and knocked the constable down, exclaiming at the same time, " Take that." The constable gr t up, and was about to lay hold of Augustus, when he received another "take that," and down he went again. The constable was more cautious with Augustus the third time, and finally succeeded in taking him into custody, and conveying him to the station-house, but not before he had made a most violent resistance, and threatened to impeach the constable before the House of Lords. Augustus Caesar—l consider myself King of Eng land, at least I feel as if I was King of England, and that is the same thing, and I consider that I have a right to knock down any man I please, when and where I think proper. Mr. GREGORIE ordered the prisoner to be de livered over to the parish officers to be taken care of, and he was removed from the bar. LAMBETH- S TREE T. Yesterday Thomas Hatch, a journeyman pork butcher, was brought before Mr. Waideeit upon the following charge:— A person named Miller, between 1 and 2 o'clock that afternoon, was standing in the Mile-end-road, arid saw a small terrier dog run past him, with it large portion of its entrails out of its body, and trailing along the ground. He followed the poor animal to the house of its owner, a distance of 200 or 300 yards, and perceiving its dreadful state of suffering, and that part of the guts were cut through, he ordered it to be hung, to put an end to its pain, which was accordingly done. Witness subsequently learned that the animal had gone into the shop of Mr. Snelling, a pork-butcher, in the Mile end-road, where the prisoner worked as a journey man, and he, the prisoner, deliberately stabbed hitn on the right side with a large knife, and inflicted a wound of several inches in length and depth. On remonstrating with him on the brutality of his con duct, he became very impertinent, and told the wit ness he had no business to interfere. The prisoner, in defence, said he was merely cleaning the counter, when a large knife, happening to fall, inflicted the wound on the dog that had been spoken of. Several persons here exclaimed that it was impos sible this could be true, arid the dead animal was produced, for the inspection of the Magistrates, to prove that it was not so. ut 3i / tr "Wa3 -- irean - ersc `wfra-iiirAdmazil,"av- the wound, which was several inches in length, was be tween the fourth and fifth ribs. Mr. WALKER observed, that as he could not take the ease under Mr. Martin's Act, but that of mali cious injury, it would be necessary to have the owner of the dog in at!eridance, to ascerrain its va lue, and also the shopman of Mr. Snelling, who saw the act committed ; and in order to insure this the prisoner was detained. T 0 WN-HALL. Henry James Marshall and James Wosdall were placed at the bar on a charge of felony. eagerness h e r preferred evidence t h n e eeasi charge, ed and a l h her e feeling in the Court amounting to horror. On being sworn she stated that on Thursday morning she missed her watch, and her son nor having r: - turned, she had some suspicion that he had com mitted the theft-, and accordingly went in search of him, whom she found coming out of the Coburg theatre. Alderman THORPE—What do you wish me to do with these poor children ? Mrs. Marshall—l want to have them punished as far as the law allows. Alderman THORPE—It is not in my power to inflict summary punishment. The prisoners are of very tender years. The whole may be referred to youthful error, which may be converted into crime by their association while in prison. If I commit they must abide their trial. Mrs. Marshall—They shall be punished-1 with to prosecute. William Tranter, servant to a pawnbroker, pre duced the watch, which Mrs. Marshall identified, but could not swear by whom it was pawned. Mrs. Marshall—l'll make you swear—you reuse swear. Do you call this justice? Alderman THORPE repeatedly asked the paver - broker who pawned it ?—He replied, he did to t know. Mrs. Marshall now became clamorous, insisting the pawnbroker must swear who pawned it. Hall, a constable, proved the apprehension of the prisoner coming out of the Coburg Theatre ork Thursday night, and on searching Marshall he found a duplicate of the watch. Nothing was found ott \Vosdall. The ALDERMAN humanely suggested that the mo ther would be able to find some creditable employ for her child. She was bound in duty to attend to the morals of her child, and an offence of this kind would be a reproach to herself. He would, how ever, if she persisted, do his duty ; but he thought she would not do her's by pursuing her son vindic tively. The mother was, however, determined, in defi ance of remonstrance, and the prisoner Marshall o► as committed to take his trial. \Vosdall was dis charged for want of evidence. Mrs. Marshall then entered into the usual recog nizances, and the boy was committed. The prisoner is not more than 14 years of age. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—As a party, con sisting of three young gentlemen, accompanied by a young lady, the sister of one of the gentlemen, were proceeding op the Thames, on Thursday, the 27th instant, in a small wherry, it became necessary to clear some barges, moored on the Surrey side of the river, between Blackfriars and Waterloo-bridges ; but not being able to pull uff in suf ficient time, the force of the current, which was running very strong, carried them under the bow of one of the barges, and almost crushed the wherry to pieces; and hart it net been for the very timely aid of a waterman, who .ustantly rowed to their assistance, they must have been sucked under the lighters and all have perished. The young lady evinced great presence of mind, and had silt ficient fortitude to cling to one of the barges, which being heavily laden was low in the water, anti was relieved from her perilous situation by the boatmen, who also succeeded in taking one of the young gentlemen out of the water, to wh t e h r e eb ‘ y va a te ll rm w a e n re fo p r re h se is rv e e x d e . rtio ' n f s be in gr i e e 7s u t in p g ra t i t s ,e e i p s a t r li t l y e from their perilous state, and without which they must all inevitably have perished.
