MANSION-HOUSE.
A German, named Schmitz, was brought before the Loan
hi iroa, charged with having 'obeyed Mr. Rothschild, repeatedly
in Bartholomew-lane.
The street-beeper stated, that the defendant called frequently at
the offiee of Mr. Rothschild, in order *obtain from that gentleman
what it was not in his power to give, a pass to Manchester. When
told that Mr. Rothschild bad no authority to pass any person to
any place, except- the country pr which he was Constii, he became
importunate for money, and ~Bards abusive. Mr. Rothschild
gave him, upon two occasions= which they met at the office, some
silver. and assured him of the nature of the benefit, to confer which
his power was Ibnited,•bet the defendant was not to be put 6ff by
this assurance, and upon one emotion laid his hands upon Mr.
Rothschild. as'if determined tedrompel assistance. Mr. Rothschild
*llo'6lllook no notice of this eager familiarity, but one of the
,lbe duke desired the street-keeper, if be saw Achults again about the
Plkilllies, for the purpose of demanding relief, to take him into
custody, and charge him berme the Lord Mayor, in order that the
business of -the house might sage no farther interruption. The
defendant rot being to be persuaded to conduct himself with de.
y, and having again exiled, and desired to have an interview
with Mr. Rothschild, and no one but Mr. Rothschild, the stmt.
Weeper apprehended him, according to the direction, but not, he
believed, with the knowledge of the gentleman who had been
persecuted-
The defendant said be had been 27 yeses in England, and that
he had served in the American war under the most renowned of out
Admirals, up to the disastrous period of the British hostilities
across the Atlantic; that he was lo ettretne distress, and had. re-
solved to go, if be could, to Manchester, where he had a brother in
good circumstances as a watchmaker ; that he had applied to the
Consul for a pass, well knowing his power to grant it, as it was
known he was able to do every thing ; and that in taking hold of
Mr. Rothschildl he merely meant to convince him of the necessity
there was for doing all in his power to disposed him to the best
advantage ; that Mr. Rothschild made no complaint himself of this
liberty, and that nobody else had a right to say a, word about what

and Rough, who Is beginning to rival his master, prevailed upon
them to assist him in surprising the white bait catchers, farther
down in the river, aware that there had been a disagreement be-
tween the two parties. Assitned by this powerful addition to his
strength, Rough bore down upon a whole fleet of `. unlawfuls," in
Bogsby's Hole, at midnight, and boarded them with a gallant
spirit. The most terrific oaths were sworn, and eight nets were
seized in a moment. The defendants misted as soon as they re.
covered from the first fright, and out away several of the nets ; but
the grappling irons were successfully used, and the victorious partp,
after this very dangerous encounter, rowed off with their capture

All the defendants pleaded poverty, which, from whatever cue It
might arise, wan sufficiently manifest. They attributed It to the
ruined state of the fishery, in consequence of the gas water, the
'steam boats, and the general bad state of the water.
The Loan ,31 AY oR was convinced that the decrease of the quan.
tit, of fish in the riser arose from this mode of fishing, by which so

rtbe pow or Kingston were supplied with fish from the Thames, but

sioned by the demand for white bait. The whole of the nets were

HATTON GARDEN.
Richard Balky, a journeyman shoemaker, was yesterday brought
' up for the purpose of showing cause why be, the said Mr. Bailey,
persisted in billetting himself as an out-dweller upon several of the
most respectable inhabitants of SafEron.hill, without their leave and
permission first hail and obtained.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. Watson, whose occupation
it is to guard the nightly slumbers of the ward, that for many even-
ings past he has seen the defendant reposing within the recesses of
different door-ways, aud even under the archways of courts. &c.
At twelve o'clock there lay the cobbler, at one &clock there reclined
the cobbler, and at two he was again compelled to exclaim, like a
classical watchman as he iv, erre iternin crispines although on all
these several occasions he constantly poked hint with his staff, and
ordered hint to go about his butiness.
lilt. Bailey listened to this recapitulation of his various acts of
somnolency with the greatest saw; fraid, not deigning a reply till
the Magistrate's question, " How he could account for such
strange conduct ?', he vouchsafed to answer in a tone of great inde-
pendence, " I likes the night hair." The declaration of so Lin-
guist a perfrhant, however, not proving altogether satisfactory to
his Worship, he was sent to correct his taste in the comparatively
confined atmosphere of the House of Correction.

IVnt. Appleton, a baker, late in the errs ire of Mr. Ward. of
Glasshouse-street, who has been a considerable time in comedy,
having undergone several examinations, on a charge of stealing a
banker's check for 13.7./. from the shop of Mr. Gobbey, a tailor, in
Regent-street, was again brought up, and again examined.
The evidence against the prisoner hitherto has been, that he was
in the shop of Mr. Clubbey, and had quitted it a few minutes be-
fore the check was missed, and that the prisoner acknowledged that
he had found a check for same money in the street, but said that
he had destroyed it, and thrown it away. It Also appeared that
the prisoner, about that time, had an unusual command of mo-
ney ; but although the check was presented and paid at the bank-
ing.house of Messrs. Pape, Smith, and Co. on whom it was
drown, vet the clerk had no recollection of the person to whom the
amount was paid.
Yesterday Mr. DMZ% an Argent in the City, attended, and

ticular account of a strange and extraordinary ghost," which is said
to have made his house the scene of its vagaries:—
' "STRANGE AIM EXTRAORDINARY GHOST IN BETHNAL-

' Salmon and Ball, in the Bethnal-green-road, has for the last
Month excited the greatest consternation in the neighbourhood, by

eleven and one, and which DRS drawn immense multitudes together
to witness this singular personage. Report states that the bells in
the house and the knocker at the doer are continually in motion
I during the above time, and such has been the harassed state of the
inmates of the house, that they have been compelled to guard the
hies. Whatever may be the cause of this nocturnal visiter

This elegant production of the far-famed manufacturer of bal.

DREADFUL MURDER.
A murder, unequalled for atrocity by any that has taker
place in this neighbourhood, since the oneat Pendletoo,
April, 1317, was committed in the vicinity of Bar?. Ga."
Saturday night last, and has created general horror es
consternation in that neighbourhood. lt tweets, from the
accounts we have heard of this dreadful affair, that Sr.
man, whose name we have not been able to learn, and ba
wife, who was also advanced in years, lived at Dirtles-cum.
Bamford, on the road between Bury and Rochdale. on
Saturday night last a neighbour, who bad been reading t,
the aged couple, left them about half-past ten o'clock, at
which time the woman was preparing to retire to rest, and
had loosened part of her dress for that purpose. Of what
occurred afterwards nothing is known, except from the
when it was discovered that they were both Ea.
ca
consequences which presented themselves on the Sunday
iv murdered.ng, The man was found sitting in his chair,
with Ins skull dreadfully fractured, and it appeared, from
the situation in which he and his wife were discovered, that
whilst the murderers had been doing their bloody work
upon him, she had endeavoured to save hie life, for she
was found with ber arms clasped round his neck, and her
head beaten almost to pieces. The murder appeared to
have been effected by means of an old shovel and a poker,
which the murderers had met with on the premises, acd
which they left behind them in the house. Of the ea*et
time at which this dreadful crime was committed, nothing
is known ; but there is strong reason to suppose that it was
very soon after the neighbour quitted the house, for the
woman's dress in the morning was in the same state in
which it was at that time ; and it is not at ell unlikely this;
the murderers had watched the neighbour leave the house,
and then rushed in, and effected their purpose. If the ob.
ject of the villains was plunder, as there is every reason to
suppose, they were completely disappointed ; for, no far u
can be ascertained, no property whatever was Nissing from
the house. The old man was the owner of several cottage',
the rents of which, it is conjectured, the murderers calm.
lated on finding in the house, supposing, probably, that he
would have received them on the Saturday. It happened,
however, we learn, that he had not teceived any of them,
and it is believed that no money, or, at the utmost, s very
small sum, fell into their hands. From the mode in which
the murder was committed, it is highly probable that the
parties who perpetrated it carry away with them some math
of the bloody work in whick they had been engaged ; sod
we have been informed that three persons, who are known,
were seen, on Sunday morning, passing through Heywood,
sprinkled with blood, and were traced from thence to this
town, where, no doubt, a very active 100k-out will be kept
for them.—Manchelfer Arlve,tiser.

ATROCIOUS MURDER.—The corner house in MOURtisy.
square, adjoining Great Charles-street, Dublin, (the fatni:v
being in the country), was left in the care of a decent (o:;1
woman. A female acquatntance, who was in the habit of
calling to see her every Sunday, went yesterday morning to
pay her usual visit. After knocking in vain at the hall
door, she made her way through the parlour window,
which was open, and upon reaching the apartment of the
old woman, she found her dead, with evident marks of
strangulation. It is not easy to conceive what could have
prorated the persona, who must have entered the house b!,
the window, to the perpetration of the sited, as there was
noting of value in the house, or in the possession of the
unfortunate woman, to excite their cupidity.—D4.l.l

EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING.—During a thunder storm,
which took place on the 31st August, in Kingston, New
Hampshire, a large elm tree, standing before the house of
Dr. Levi Bartlett, was struck by lightning, and split down-
wards through the heart; it passed iTom the tree to the
chimney at. the south part of the house, which was shat-
tered in such a manner that it will be necessary to take the
chimney dawn. •It entered a closet in the second scary,
which conlgoed many newspapers end other combustible
articles, and set them on fire. The house was fired in
several other places, but fortunately a person in the cham-
ber discovered it in season to be extinguished before it had
made much progress. Dr. Bartlett, his wife, and one
other woman, were thrown senseless upon the floor; tl:e
ladies, however, soon recovered considerably ; but the
doctor •was supposed to be dead for some time—he is now
in a very feeble state. A watch hanging over the chimney
piece was thrown across the room, anil, when first dis-
covered, was red with heat ; the case and chain were melted
considerably. There is a lightning rod upon the north red
of the house, within a short distance of the tree that was
struck.—Artierican Paper.
Yesterday terminated the life of Anne Moore, of this
town, the pretended fasting woman, in the 76th year of
her age. About the beginning of the year 1807, Ads ex-
traordinarY imposter lived at Tutbury, a village in Staf-
fordshire, when ahe first excited public attention by de-
claring that she lived without food; and having offeied to
prove the truth of her assertion by submitting. to be
watched for a considerable time, she was at last detecteil
in her imposture by a professional gentleman ofthe name
of Fox, who discovered that her dairgbtor wapiti the habit
of conveying her food daily, and concealing it under the

ing leather over flannel, as a preservative against the cot-
sequences of those exposures to which all are, more or less,
liable. A waistcoat of this materiel will, in many cases,
supersede the necessity of, and prove a more efiecure bar-
tier against cold than a great easel acid often even after
na the establishment of a rheumatism ieh refuses to g:se
way before the most powerful • e, clothing the
parts affected with leather will al mediately effect
an easy cure. _ _

On Saturday night last, as the waggon of Mr. Basing,
drawn by four horses, was on its way from Newbury to Loudon,
the driver, John Jerroni, was found on the road under the wheels,
quite dead. He bad been seen by the guard of the SlougL wawa,
who passed him at Cranford-bridge , he was then alive, and quite
sober, and was riding in the front of the waggon. Soon any the
Richmond post boy, on his way to London, came up to Soioe's
waggon, which be found with the horses standing still in the road;
there appearing to be no one with the horses, he looked tiro
the waggon, and saw a woman and a girl fast asleep; he afterwards
looked for the waggoner, and perceived him lying in the road, sit
the near 'fore wheel partly on him : it had not gone over NT.
but rested on his body, with the whole weight of the wenn. artl
he could not be extricated until the waggon had been barked: s
Maidenhead waggon came up, when the waggoner assisted lira,
and he was got from under the wheel, but was quite dead. There
is no 'doubt but the poor fellow had fallen asleep, and from mid&
jerk been thrown under the wheel. The body was put on the tel.
ladder, and carried to the King's Head at Hattmondsworth, to was
the Coroner's Inquest.

The Loan MAYOR told the defendant that Mr. Rothschild had

probably the defendant was encouraged by the mild and considerate
reception he bad met with from Mr. Rothschild, who was over-
whelmed with applications of a similar nature, to adopt the com-
pulsory plan of procuring charity.
The street-keeper said he was sure that Mr. Rothschild would
feel muds regret if any punishment was inflicted upon the defend-
ant, who would probably preemie a?t, to go any more upon such
unneeessary business.

Nelson, the water-bailiff; the terror of all the unlawful net owners
on the river, had yesterday the most complete haul of nets of that
description that he has enjoyed for many years. No less than 22
fishermen were brought by him before the Lord Mayor, charged
with having used nets for catching white bait, which nets were, he
said. destructive to the spawn of other fish.
The whole body of fishermen below bridge are, it appears, gene.
