HATTON GARDEN.

BENET'? SOCIEI tes.—The Secretary to the Ilene& Society,
entitled the •• White Smiths' Society," appeared upon a summons,
to answer the complaint of a man, named Kendall, who had been
a tuemuer of the Sudety, and expelled under the following cir-
cumstances:--

The complainant stated, that he had been seventeen years a
member of the Society; and about five months' ago, he was em-
ployed by the society to do some work for them in his line of trade,
which was regularly executed, and tnr which he afterwa.-ds fur-
nished his hill. The damiriation of his account passed the com-
mittee, without any observation being mails by them. as to the
charge. and he was paid his full demand. Subsequently, however,
some other members of the Society minutely inspected his account,
and on consulting together, decided that there was an overcharge
in tli: bill of 4.. In consequence of this, they immediately ex-
pAled him.
Mr. Ilarmer's Clerk attended on behalf of the complainant.
The Sroretary contended, that according to a certain article in
the laws of their ft:ociety, any person found guilty of embezzling,
or conniving in the embezzlement, of any part of the funds of the
Society, should be instanter expelled. Ile submitted that the com-
plainant having overcharged the Society, and in fact, Ma brother
tradesmen, to the amount of et, was iloofiteto a fraud on the tio.
ciety, and came within the provisions of the article cited.
Mr. Laiwa, the presiding Magistrate. was however of a eon.
Crary opinion. lie conceived that imy overcharge in the com-
plainants' bill. its furnished to the society, was liable like other
tradesmen's bills to be decided by arbitration; but it was an over.
strained interpretation of the article quoted, to call it Em.
healing or conniving at embezzlement." A coachmakev in Long-
acre, or any tashionable upholsterer, might as well be charged with
embezzlement, by any gentleman employed him, if he
thought :he amount of his demand exorbitant.
Under these circumrtnnces (in which view of the case, Mr.
Roar us fully concurred) he ordered the complainant to he imme-
diately reinstated as a member; and, that, if there was any error,
or overcharge in his hill, it should be submitted to arbitration In the'
usual tradesmanlike manner.

neither liking nor disliking, to him. If the Synod had Rot
punished this erring brother, the people of the world would, have
said, they were always ready enough to punish other reel,*
but not their brother ministers. Mr. Jones was not a member of
their elturelt ; ho was in a state of rebellion. and could speak no
further on the subject until he had authority from the congreption
of Albion Chapel to acknowledge tl:e authority of the Assoaate.
lie therefore moved, that Mr. Jones could nut present his memorial
until lie had obtained that authority.
More confusion hese ensued, and a peon
moved, was about to be re-
moved, when Dr. Wat;cu said he would be surety fur his keep-
ing the peace.
The motion was then agreed to—" That they should sat all
proceedings with Mr. Fletehi r, till he submit to the semtenea of
the.a2sociare Synad, and till they meet in May next."

After some conversation,
Dr. Wwt•att said, that the meeting should adjourn till the
secondlWednestlay in December, when they would again meet in
Oxendon Chard, at twelve o'clock. ILe then said a prayer, and
bade them peaceably disperse.
Mr. JOSE! wished to say a few words. (Loud cries of beer,
hear, and great uproar.)
11r. BROADTOOT said they would not hear one word more.
The chapel must be cleared.
After some confusion, dnrirg which the members of 'Miles's-
lane wished to go, and the rest of the people to remain—
Mr. 11AT ort.crtsl the officers to clear the Chapel, and directed
them to take the first who refused into custody. The cfficers in-
stantly seised a gentleman who was next to them, on which the
gentleman struck one of them. and a most terrific uproar and riot
ensued ; a general fight took place among the men, whit., the loud
shrieks of the woolen, added to the disgraceful nnehristian-like
Scene. In fact, Mr. Ilay was too precipitate In ordering the Officer/
to act, because there was no time for the people to get out, the
chapel being completely blocked up. It was a termination entirely
in keeping with the proceedings of the day. The uproar continued
for nearly halt• an boor, when the officers having relaxed in their
violent endeavours to thrust the out, they quietly dispersed
themselves.

PETITION TO PARLIAMENT.

Mr. BLOT. XT said, that hitherto some doubts prevailed as to
the propriety of petitioning the Commons House of Parliament
this approaching Session, as many of their friends there would not
give it their support, unless it were taken up by klinisters. On
this point, however. no positive determination had been formed In
the Committee of 111anay;einent. He had received a letter, how.
ever, from ■ very respectable member of their Association (Mr.
Eynon), suggesting the expediency of presenting • petition to the
House of Lords, couched in respectful, but at the same time, firm
language, intimating that we felt it was to them we were chiefly in-
debted fur not enjoying the blessings of the Constitution, to ar-
rive at which we had been making for so long • time such
anxious exertions.

/Hr. J.:TATO% begged to renew the suggestion which he had
previously thrown out in a letter to their worthy Secretary. It was
a matter of notoriety, that the determined opposition their claims
had always met with in the Upper llou.e of Parliament, was a
principal cause of their claims having been so frequently rejected.
While that branch of the Legislature remained in such hostility
towards them, it was almost impossible to expect the restoration to
those constitutional rights to which they were fairly entitled. In
that petition, the adoption of which he would earnestly recommend,
they ought to declare, that they knew and felt, that by repeated re.
jeetion of their claims there, their rights had been withheld, and
their prospects blasted. (Applause.) Ile would rend to them
an extract which he had taken from the History of Poland, and
which he would not introduce for the purpose of contrasting it with
the conduct of the Nobility of this country; but he would say it
was an act of liberality by Catholic aristocracy, worthy the imita-
tion of the Protestant aristocracy of England :
" Sigismond Augustus, the last King of the race of lagellan,
strove to prevent all disputes which might arise between the united
eitisena in the kingdom of Poland. Toe convention unanimously
confirmed on the Ifith of June, 150. in the Diet held at %Vilna,
contained the following clause Henceforward not only the gen.
try and magnates who adhere to the Catholic Church, but in gene.
rid all, he they who they will, so they be but Christians, shall
throughout the kingdom enjoy, and fur ever retain, all the privi.
lege'', rights, and liberties belonging to the nobles. In like man.
ner, not only those who adhere to the Church of Rome, but all
other' of the rank of knights, shall be eligible to the senatorial and
royal dignity, if they be but Christians. No individual, as he he
a Christian, shall be excluded.' This regulation was most solemnly
confirmed in the Diet held in 151itt. at Drodno e and to make this
low more explicit, the King added these words, of whatever sect
or religious profession he may be.' At length, in the United Diet
held 15174, in Dublin, this ordinance, which combined all the Pole's
of the Christian rt':gii:o into ire fatuily, was renewed all cur,

COLOMBIA.

We have roceived 13)gota Papers to the 23th of July in-
clusive, which convey explanations respecting the tle'cc-
tion of Olaneta from the Spanish cause. It appears from
these Papers that a civil war raged in Peru among the
Royalist Chiefs. We extract the following :

(From the ateeta de Colombia.)
We have intelligence front the Liberating Army in Peru up to
May 17. Getters! Bolivar was in good health, and his energy ad
genius were unchanged. The army has moved from the titirt.
meta of Trustllo towards Lima, with the certainty and confidette
of heating the enemy if he resolved to risk a battle. The defectun
of ()lanes is not doubted, since an intercepted CorresponSetCr tr

of the Viceroy Lucerna, dated Cusco, the 11th of March, the sea
Olaneta is treated as insubesd nate and as a common distorto r
The fact is, that Pezucla and Ramses. enemies of Lsccrna, as s
seditious character, have prevail( d in Spain that the King shos:l
name (Moneta l'icetoy of Peru. When the news cf this semi's.
tion arrived in Peru, disputes existed between the favourite sad
Lucerne; as well on this account as because Olaneta was lo.kd
upon as the last of the Chiefs of the Royalist Army. the other
Generals resolved to oppose the possession of the new l'lceroy, se!
to represent him to the Court as imbecile, and as a disturber.
Olaneta, on his part, took measure. to support his new amain.
meet ; but finding himself surrounded by all the bodies of his ere.
my's army, trgainat whom it was not easy for him to contend with
success, he pronounced himself in favour of independence, sal
moved towards the provinces of Jujuy and Salta. V&A tits

which was completely routed; this Chief remained a prison:.
Valdez with his army passed front the side of the Desaguadero to
combat Ulaneta, told in the mean time Canterae remained abandoned
in Lima and Lamers in Cpper Peru, with a part of the Micas of
small consideration.

The Gazettes of Truzillo speak of all these events, which sr:,
without doubt, most important for the b.ppy fate of the Poturan

CORONER'S INQUEST.

Yesterday, an Inquisition was held in the board-room of the
workhou.e, in Little Gray's Inn-lane, before THOS. STIRLING,
Esq. Coronet for the County of Middlesex, on the body of James
Rycott, aged 84 years, an Inmate in the adjacent alma-houses, in
Gray's Inn-lane.
It appeared that the deceased had been missing for upwards of
a week ; but as he was in the habit of going to Hackney on •
Sunday to visit his daughter. his absence was not noticed. On
Tuesday evening, James Miles, another of the inmates of the
same house, observed that the key was in the inside of the door of
the deceased's room. Ile called, but receiving no answer, he pro-
cured the assistance of William Cousins, another of the inmates,
and forced the door open, when they found the deceased lying on the
floor, in his clothes, quite dead and cold ; there were no marks of
violence on the body, and the Jury, under all the circumstances,
returned a verdict, " Died by the Visitation of God."

DREADFUL FIRE AT HAMMEMIMITH.—Yesterday
morning, between the hours of four and five o'clock, the
hamlet of Hammersmith was thrown into the utmost con-
fusion and alarm, in consequence of an alarming fire
b: caking out on the premises of Mr. Cooper, a baker and
flour factor, in King-street, near the Windsor Castle Ta-
vern. The flames were first discovered bursting through
the shop shutters in immense bodies, and were fast gaining
an ascendancy. The family were in bed in the attics, and
were with great difficulty warned of their perilous situation;
however, they were made sensible just in time to escape
with their lives, by getting out of the back windows. The
parish engines of Hammersmith and Fulham were prompt
in their attendance, but their puny efforts, and a small sup-
ply of water, had but very little effect en the devouring
element, which now raced with alarming fury. Fortu-
nately the different engines from town came down with
post hors's, and a more plentiful supply of water being ob-
tained, their combined efforts soon damped the flames, and
their ravages were prevented from spreading to the adjoin-
ing houses. By seven o'clock the premises of Mr. Cooper
were reduced to a heap of ruins, and the whole of his stock
and furniture were buried underneath. The loss sustained
is estimated at a very considerablesurn, but we hear Mr.
Cooper is insured. l'he origin of the fire cannot be as-
certained.

Very early on Thursday morning week, the Birming-
ham and Liverpool mail, on its way to the latter place, was
overturned at Trentham, but the passengers escaped with
trifling injury. We arc informed that the same coach was
again overturned on Friday worning.—Stajprd

INQUEST AT T0T1111.1.-PIELDS PRISON.

Yesterdav a Cowner's Inquest was held before Tnos. Hines,
Esq. Deptity Coroner fur Westminster, at Tuthill-fickle Prison,
on the body of Thomas Anderson, a prisoner.
James Russell, Governor of Tothill-fields Prison, deposed, that
the deceased was placed in his custody on the 17th of November
last, under the commitment of Thomas Halls. Esq., one of the
Magivrates of I'uw.street, for an assault on Joseph Parton, his
father-in-law. On the commitment there was a memorandum,
that •• the prisoner being sick, he Is to be placed in the Infirmary."
When•thc deceased was brought into the prison he was in an ill
state of health; the Doctor happened to be there at the time, skid
the prisoner had a bandage on one of his arms, which appeared to
have been lied. He talked in a loud and wild manner, but be
(wimess) had no idea of the deceased being deranged then, but
had since seen him io the sick ward, and it was found necessary to
put on a strait waistcoat.
John levies, surgeon to Tothill-fields prison, stated, that on
the 17th November, the prisoner was admitted into the sick ward.
Ile was Itbouring from the creel of bleeding the left sins, and
complained of a pain in his chest. Oa the seeped day witness saw
dim ;he considered he was deranged. On the following day he be.
came furiously mad--rompletely a maniac ;—two men *ere con-
stantly with the dect•sed after the second day of his admission, and
• stunt waistcoat was placed on him until within a short time of
his decease. There was a wildness in his manner when be tint
came in. The &versed died on Sunday night, about II o'clock, no
doubt from excessive excitement. A met of milk was allowed bins
night and miming, as well as bread, meat. genet, wine; and every
attention paid by witr.ess almost daily. He tad no suspicion of
t inlence haring been en:mined upon him prior to his coming to
the prison, and certainly nene since.
Mary Anderson, the wife or the deceased, resides at No. 10,
Holies-street, Elare.market. Her husband was tit sears of age.
Since he had been in prison, winless is perfectly satisfied he had
been treated with the greatest kindness. He had been ill for a con-
siderable time, hut she never knew him to be out of his mind. The
deceased was confined for assaulting witness's father, and she vi-
sited him almost daily.
Joseph Parton, father-in-law to the deceased. said, the prisoner
was corti.led fur an assault on him. Witness endeavoured to do
all be could. and invited the deceased's family the Sunday previous
to the assault, to dine with him ; in the midst of dinner he Jumped
up suddenly, and se,:cd him by the doom. Whines was sorry
for causing hint to be sent to prison : it was done without any ill.
will. . . .

The Coroner summed up the evidence, and Cie Jury return-
ed a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God."

TIMATRES.

DRUPYJANE.
Last night the children and the more grown holiday
folks were entertained as usual at this festive and laughing
season of the year, with a new pantomime ; and if noisy
tongues and clapping bands be indications of satisfac-
tion, there was abundant testimony of its existence tnani-
kited by one of the most crowded audiences we ever remem-
ber to have witnessed within the walls of this theatre.
The play of Pizarro preceded the pantomime; and as we go
to the theatre at these holiday times to join in the wetriment
and share in the laugh, however produced, we bid a truce
to criticism. The pantomime is entitled Mid( 9ain me/1:e
Talking Bird ; or, tile Singing Trees and Golden Waters.
In the tours: of it we are delighted with a very fine sea
view, while we are, at the same time, amused with some of
the tricks of the Clown and his comrades. The quiz
against the of the hairy caps of the Guards had no
point, and failed ; and the pickpockets at the Lord Mayor's
Show slid not deserve much booty, (ruin their evitient want
of skill in their adventurous vocation. 'The omission of
both those scenes, and that of the arrival of the rocket
coach, mic,,ht also be advantageous ; although we must
confess there was a something ludicrous in the rocket seiz-
ing on the dickey behind the coach, and trirling Clown and
Pantaloon in the midst of the fires which the rocket
emitted. The proem-ion of the glass-blowers might share
a !Maar fate. The panoramic view was good ; and
the transformation of a few old houses into the, pre-
mises of the Steam-washing Company, was amongst
the Lost hits in due mechanical department of the piece.
The shop was closed too suddenly, but, perhaps, it was it:-
tended to apply to some other scene. Au:d Itiekie, a
scene by Stanfield, was a fine specimen, and some of our
Edinburgh friends, who sat near us, recognized the Calton
Hill, and the 'lron Church, and part of the New Town of
Edinburgh, with earnest feelings of delight. In point,
however, of effect, the Haunted Kitchen. painted by Hol-
legan and Adams, was decidedly the favourite. It is a
burlesque on the incantation scene in Der Freischnlz, and
is very well managed. Some of the scenes arc admirable
specimens of art—we would particularly notice the first and
last scenes. Master Edmonds was deservedly encored in a
very pretty Scotch air, and the curtain fell amidst general
applause. The machinery was wed worked, considering it
was the first representation of the piece, and with a few
necessary curtailments, we hope it may become a favourite
with the public.

deservedly drew down a thunder of applause. The bitter
scornfulness with which he contrasts the two pictures of his
uncle, (her present husband,) and his father, the first
partner of her bed, sad the anguish of heart which be ex-
cites in the Queen, and with which he is himself ovt rcome,
evinced powers of acting suflieient to rank him with the
very first class of his profession. The whole scene was
true to nature, the workings of his mind were not once over-
strained; it was a representation that in many parts of
it could not be surpassed. The house which was crowded
testified their cilmiration by bursts of applause that were
continued long after the fall of the curtain.

BURSTING OF A STEAM-BOILER AT
31.4NCIIESTER.

I►l ‘xciissrEa, Pre. 14.
I have now to inform you of a most fatal accident which
has Led iency! here this evening. About six o'clock the
neighbourhood of Portland-street was dreadfully alermed
by a sudden and violent explosion, which shook the
houses, and shattered the windows in all directions. It
appears to have been the bursting of a steani-boiler,
tactic(' to a machine shop in Major-street, near Portland-
street, occupied by Windsors and Hyde. The whole
building was blown up, and with it several of the work-
men. The first report was, that ten were killed, and many
more wounded; but I endeavoured to get at the truth as
far as pasailliss 1 aesordingly wenNe-liaajor-invers, and
saw the rutile, surrounded by the military, and persons
holding lighted emetics; workmen were busily employed
in removing the bras, &e. and searching for bodies; 'hut
at the time I write (9 r.m.), it is impossible to ascertain
the full extent of the accident. I went to the Volunteer
Tavern, and saw the dead body of an aged man, dread-
fully disfigured by bruises anal burns ; his mouth was full
of ashes, a large hole in his cheek, and his body cut in
several places. I then went to our Infirmary. to which
had been conveyed six men ; 1 found two dead; a third
just expiring, and, according to the opinion of the sur-
geons, little or no hopes were tube entertained of the reco-
very of two more. One of them was shockingly scalded :
SeTtl:l have been carried to their own homes, but ;lie
number of those it is hullos:Able yet to say.
