SIR RUBRIC? WILSON.

APPLICATION TO THE LORD MAYOR
FOR LEAVE TO HOLD A MEETING OF THE FRIENDS
OF SIR B. WILSON IN THE EGYPTIAN HALL.

As the Lord Mayor was sitting in the Justice.
room yesterday, Mr. Ryland and Mr. Richardson
waited upon his Lordship to request that he would
grant the use of the Egyptian Hall for a meeting of
those citizens who were desirous of expressing their
sentiments upon the extraordinary dismissal of Sir
Robert Wilson from his rank of Major-General in
the Arun_•. The circumstances of this case of un-
common harddlip were, they observed, familiar to
his Lordship, who was also doubtless well acquaint-
ed with the general feeling upon the subject, and
of the proceedings of the constituents of Sir Robert.
'file Lord Mayor said, in answer to the applica-
tion, that upon the last occasion of a public meet.
ing in the Egyptian Hall, namely, upon the meet-
ing of the Merchants. Bankers, snd Traders of the
City of London. so disgraceful an uproar had been
raised in the 11.11, that lie made a declaration, that
he would prevent the possibility of the recurrence
of so offensive a scene during his Mayoralty. by
oithholding his consent to till practice of applying
the Mansion-house to political meetings, or any
others but those upon charitable occasion•. He
had constantly maintained this deterunnation, al-
though he supposed there were many who objected
to it in whose political seiniineuts he completely
acquiesced.
The gentlemen were struck with the propriety of
the rule his Lordship had laid down for himself, and
intimated to Ilios that they should feel it necessary
to hold a meeting of the friends of Sir Robert
AVilson iu the City, at some of the taverna or public
rooms.

The Lord Mayor expressed his full concurrence
in the object of the friend end constituent of the
gallant individual, but as the Chief Magistrate of
the City. the impropriety of his taking an active
'nut in ally of the proceedings that were already en-
tered into would be perceived. Hi., Lordship ap-
proved of the idea of calling the Meeting in the
manner just suggested, and the geutlemea left the
J ustice-room.

The Prisoner, it appeared frosts the statement of the Pro-
seciitor came to Ins house, to company with another winow,
■std having lied a pint of beer, paid fur it with a shilling,
fur which he gave them change, mid shortly after they quitted
the house, mid he sEscovered the shilling they lied given
bins was a bad one. In about an hour she Primmer came
again alone, and called for a glass of gin, which he gave her,
and she tendered him •outlier shilling which was also bad.
He sent for an °Mese and had her taken into custody awl
searched, bat soothing was found sus her but two•peace three
farthings in copper.
The Lord Mayor ordered her to be remanded till Saturday,
and the Silicitor of the Mint to be informed to the interim of
the charge against the Prisone►.
A Gentleman complained of a breach of the peace, which
had taken place on the 17th of September, at which times ss
he was passing along Ludgate-hill, be felt Weisel( violently
probed oft the pavement, and on turning round be perceived
that he had received the rude salutation from one of a body
of military who were marching along un the pavement with
Gerd bayonets. He complained to the corporal at the head
of the men, and observed, that he had as winch bemires,
there as they had. The only reply he got from him was,
Yuo he ti--mod; if you don't stand out of the way I'll run
you through;" and he lowered his musket accordingly,
to that the bayonet came close to the Complainant's
breast. Not choosing to continue an altercation, where
re much violence bad bees displayed, he took shelter
in a sloop. He afterwards ascertained the soldier's name was
Bland, a corporal in the Coldstream regiment of guards. As
the outrage of which he couiplained had been committed
within the jorisdiction of his Lordship, he took the earliest
*ppm lenity of applying to him for redress, and should have
attended for that purpose berme, but be bad been obliged to
knee London.

The
,Lord Mayor advised him, as he knew where to find
the man, to prefer as iudictincut against him at the ap-
proaching Sessions.
The Gentleman thanked his Lordship, and professing his
determination so proceed at the Sessions, quitted the
office ; hut returned after • short interval, and suggested
to his Lordship, that the corporal might, in the course
ef service, be removed from London before the Sessions
came on. He therefore wished to have a summons
fee. the Lord "Mayor in order to secure his appear-
s's.* at the proper season. He stated that lie had applied
14! Sir R. Dime, who had declined to act, as the trans-
action took place io the City. He could not but view the
matter in a ierille, light, as he was persu•ded that had he
not acted so forbearingly mischief would have ensued; and
ea for from the military beige justified in thrusting others
off the pavement, be doubted whether they had any legal
right to march there themselves with ernes in their hands;
at least be knew that in Liverpool, Bri•tol, and other places,
Ilkley were not allowed to marchers the footway.
The Lord Mayor agreetil.with the Complainant, that the
grievance Will of a serious nature, but still thought, as the
Sessions were so near at hand, that to proceed by indictment
would be the best made of obtaining redress.

BOW-STREET.
Lite on iredoesday evening William Jarvis, a ■otorioaa
advertising horse dealer, was brought up in custody of Bishop,
the principal officer, on a warrant for defrauding Edmund
King, Eq. of Acton Howie, Acton, of the sum of Mt.
Mr. Kin‘ stated, that in consequence of as advertisement
which appeared in ieveral, of the papers respecting the sale
of • horse, he went to a stable in King's Head yard, Little
Russell-street, Covent garden, where be saw the Prisoner,
who represented himself to be the groom of the proprietor
of the horse for sale, and it was agreed that willies' should
deposit 651. and take the horse for a short period un trial.
After ridiug the horse for three 'hours. witness discovered
that it was unsound, and directly sent it back by his coach-
man to the Prisoner's stable, when it was discovered that be
was not to be found; under these circumstances witness
made applicatlo• at this office, sad a warrant being granted
against the Primmer fur the fraud, Bishop succeeded in tree-
jog oat and apprehending him.
The case was ordered to stand over until eleven o'clock
yesterday morning, bet in the mean time the Prisoner re.
funded the principal part of the money, and the proceeding
was abandoned.

Josepe Dickers. dressed as • sailor, was charged with
violating the pergola of Susan Butchers, a girl about seventeen
years of age.—The examination was of course private, but
we learned the result was that be was discharged.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
-Mary Ash was charged upon a new case with littering •
bad sovereign.
The evide•ee adduced wu, that she had uttered the so-
vereign to • tradesman in Berwiek-street ; and bee tale was,
that being the wife of • shoemaker she bad received the
spurious sovereign of a person in payment for shoes. It is
necessary as a public caution to state, that the piece had
neither sound nor ring, and it accords with other bad ones
in circulation. It weighs about two-thirds of the weight of
a good 4/111e, with a brass head clumsily executed.
The Suticilor of the Mint did nut think fit to prosecute
upon the aingle ease, and the Prisoner was discharged, and
the bail piece di faced.

Mrs. Hannah Dixon, who kept the celebrated English
Hotel near the place Verdant, at Paris, and who was
brought before Mr. Dyer on Wednesday, on a charge pre-
ferred by M. Laver, a Freockman, is Poland-street,
against her, yesterday applied to Mr. Farad, to know
how to proceed in the affair in which she was involved
through the intrigues of the Frenchman. She attributed her
misfortunes chit fly to the return of Bonaparte from Elba, at
which time many distinguished foreign Officers and others
kfi leer house in debt, and she scarcely gut any business till
the British army entered Paris, when she was patronised by
the Duke of Wellington, Lord C. Stewart, General Ord, and
mostly all the English Officers and private families. Her
enemies envied the success she met with, and before she could
get over her former difficulties she was thrown into prison.
M. Lamm was known to be her Meal, and M. Sennett, be-
longing to the Commissary Departmeut, paid him 2,000
francs for her ; bat, instead of appropriating it to her re-
lease, he opened au hotel fur himself upon her plan, and got
all her connexions, and she was left to subsist upon her
industry m rrison, until released by the kindness of the Go.
armor and the British Ambassador. When she met M. Sen.
noit he explained, and the villainy of Lacore was discovered.
Being, however, in such distressing eircumstaocea, she had
tor alternative than to put up ■t his house; he charged hir
15 francs a day fur her hoard, till, through the lateral of
the Duchess of Richmond, she got to be waiting-maid to
the Lady of Sir William Johnson, who was kind enough to
release her apparel,&e. She knows Lacore has now a carriage
belonging to the Duke of Welliogton, which his Grace thought
had hr en lost st the battle of Waterloo, concealed at Brussels.
When she came to England, !more promised to pay her by
iit.talmelits of If. per week, and made her give him a bill for

Committee fro relieving the puor Swedes, on ►is promising
to quit the country, and he endeavoured to persuade her to
do the aline. the agreed to give her 2s. per day fur selling
the snuffboxes, which he now accused her of obtaining us-
der fate pretences; and upon the whole he endeavoured to
cause her ruin, which in a great measure he had effected.
The Magistrate told her the boxes should be kept safe, and
every justice and attention her case merited would be care.
