AN INCIDENT AT CADIZ..

Two brothers of Cadis,—one tlestin'tl to roam,
The younger the property seied on at home.
Twelve y ears thus he held the paternal Estate,
( Unheard of the elder,) in triumph elate;
One day when a stranger appear 'd at Lis door,
Advice in a case of distress to implore.
" In climes far remote while I sought, but in vain,
A fortune (the stranger observ'd) to attain,

My father'cleparted,uand Two Sims he left
The Elder am I.—By the Vounger bereft
Of all my inheritance, what shall I do ?
Will you, Sir, advice me Use course to pursue ?"
" Apply to your brother," the other began.
" I have!" said the stranger, " And thou art the Man
Conviction prevaird, but redress TV:t3 not given.
For forth from the mansion the claimant was driven.
Dejected, forlorn, to a lawyer his ease
He told, who lowed him that Right should take place;
Then secretly posting to Madrid, he gain'tl •
A knowledge how justice would best be obtain'd.
The trial came on,—and Perversion its course
Appear'd unreskted to take, when its source

Who ably ewposing Corruption's pursuits,
Confounded the Alcade—by fear now beset,
As seen the supports's of 'lentil in the Jet.
" In Hnven's name, Who are you ?" he doubtfully tried,
a Supreme Judge of Madrid,"—the Miller replied ;
" Beware Retribution !"—The visions supplied,
The equity else that to Right had been lading ;
The owner hi title no longer denied,

COMBINATION.
The work of lawless combination and outrage goes fearlessl4;pi,
amongst the sinking ;maple in Dublin, nor con we anticipate when
or where it will terminate.
On Thursday Mr. Wm. Pickering, paper.manufacterer, caale
before the Magistrates of the Head Office of Police, amiloilgc,l
informations to the following efiect :—That for the better carrying
on of his business, at Mil!mount, near Rathtarnbam litsJgrely
look into his employment, foreman, a man named 'Collins. a
native of Scotland, in consequence of which the greater part of his
people,lefr their work on Saturday last, and during some part of
that night his water course was destroyed, and the Witter turned off,
to the great injury of his business !
Susanna Duggan also came before the Magistrates, and deposed,
upon osth, that herself, her husband, and daughter, were employee
on IVednesday by Mr. Pickering to work at his paper milts at
Millmount, and that her husband having on Wednesday -received
information that several actions were to assemble on the following
day, under the pretence of going to a funeral, when they were to
attack him (the husband), he accordingly absented himself from
the mill on that day (Tlit:rade, ), but when the mob (consisting of
men, women, and children) assembled, and could not find flee
husband, they assaulted the deponent and her daughter, a ;ease
about sixteen years old, and beat them with their fists, and stones.
and sticks, and but for the courageous and humane atsistanceof
.Tames Roe, a publican, living at Ballyloden, who rescued tlfem
from the foryof the multitude, deponent apprehended she and her
daughter would have been murdered.
William Duggan, the husband of the above complainant, after.'
wards canine to the Head.offic:., and deposed before the Magistrates.
that on AVedne.sday a great concourse of persons came 'trio the
yard of tht mill, where he was at work, with horrid imprecations.
and threats desired him to " come out till they had his
life." That two men, named Sirs pson and Carroll, were the most
act:v; in inviting the 'oilers t i the outrage, and that another man
named Cahill, had a hatchet, which he held in a threatening man-
s
net to deponent.
In consoquence of Duggan's information, a party of Police was,
immediately despatched to the residence of the three men mentioned
in his depoeition, and who, upon being arrested, were brought.
before the magistrates for examination, and were yesterday re_
manded to Nee/gate for further examination. •
P. Faulkner, police constable, deposed—that on Thursday lie
saw about one hundred persons all armed with bludgeons, assembled
about Mr. Pickering's mill, and who demanded that the Scoteb-
man should be dismissed, or they would not go away until the:
had his life, or they would die on the spot ;" after remaining about.
an hour on the premises, they were induced to disperse, upon a pro..
mise made to them that the Scotchman would go away ; but pre.
vious to their departure, they promised to return on.the nest day,
(yesterday.) when they rowed to " pull down the place if the
Scotchman was not gone away." The deponent tardier atatad, that.
two of the persona were armed, one with a bayonet, and the other
with a cane-sword, that the man with the sword was the principal
leader and speaker, and they vowed vengeance against the poiice.if
they should be found interfering.
As a precautionary measure, the magistrates of the Head Police,
Office yesterday despatched to the mills a strong party of Police,
under the command of Mr. Farrell, Chief Peace Officer, who con.
tinned about the premises when the latest accounts come away, Ent
all then continued quiet.

COMMITTAL OF A BARONET ON A CLANG'S OP,
MALICIOUSLY SHOOTING.

' The town of Market Botwort h, in this county (Leicester), hat►
been thrown into an unusual state of excitation during the iia.c
week, owing to the committal to our county gaol ()fits principal ii; -
habitant, Sir Willoughby Woolston Dixie, Bart. on a charge or
maliciously shooting.
ft appears that as the Rev. Mr. Wright, the vicar of that place.;
and his son, who is also a clergyman, were returning in a gig frore
the visitation held here on Saturday, they were fired at from a win..
dow in the Baronet's house. Not having been living of late upon
the best terms with their wealthy but eccentric neighbour, the Rev.'
gentlemen naturally became alarmed at the occurrence, and lost do
time in laying the facts before the An'. Mr. Fell, a Magistrate of
the county, who appointed Monday last to investigate the matter_
Mr. Bond, of this town, Sir Willoughby's solicitor, baying been,
sent for, the affair underwent inquiry at the public-room at II:is.
worth, which ended in the Rev. Magistrate making out his warranr
of committal against the Baronet, who is to take his trial upon [her
charge at our Assizes next week. This circumstance becoming•
knows, the inhabits ts, with great numbers of whom the.
Baronet is very popular, began to assume a tone and attitude,
which rendered it necessary to call in a strong civil power. lie
consequence thereof the Under-Sheriff (Mr. Miles) ptocined
the assistance of a considerable number of constables front
the surrounding nethbourhood. who, arming themselves whit
staves, hedgestekes, de. wok their station in the town, to pee.
serve the public peace. Notwithstanding these precautions,
however, a chaise, which had been sent for from Hinckley, had
its traces cut, and other symptoms of a turbulent disposition
were manifested, which rendered it advisable not to remove 'stir
prisoner till the crowd had dispersed. There appearing liule pro-
bability that this would be the case up to a late hour, it v.as deter-
mined that be should be brought to Leicester early the nextinorti-
ing. Accordingly, at break of day, a chaise and four drove it, to
the George Inn, and Sir Willoughby having taken his seat therein,
with a constable on one side, and his solicitor on the other, dros.
off for Leicester, followed by six constables on horseback. About
five o'clock the Baronet reached the county gaol. On Kettins,oui
of the chaise, he surveyed the building. and then walked into pritc.:.
'with kis usual sangfroid. Iles carriage and four fine itirmgrer
horses entered the town shortly after, and drove to the Bell.ilotel.
Sir Willoughby has apartments in front of the gaol, but is 'nth
lowed to have his servants to wait upon him. He had, laiwever.
person in attendance, who is constantly with him. His Solkitor,
of course, is also permitted to see him. We understand thai th.
Baronet has been in the habit of frequently shooting at binli froa.
the window above alluded to, which is his billiard room, and this:
the defence to be set up to the charge upon which he is oolumitte...
will be, that he was doing so on the day in question. The tissues
of the premises front the road on which the Messrs. Wright a
passing, is more than Gal yards and the shot discharged at
was of the description used in killing small birds. None of the Shot
took effect upon their persons, although they fell very near diem
Bail to any amount has been offered, but refused.
Mr. Sergeant Vaughan, Mr. Clarke, and Mr. Denman we v..
tained to conduct the defence, should a true bill be foond—Li.,
