RE WARD.

AMONG the very numerous Correspondents of the last
week at JONAI lIAN WARREN'S BLACKING MA-
NUFACTORY, he is sorry to find persons addressing him on the
subject of having his Name chalked on the Walls in and about the
Metropolis. lie, in order to maintain that character which his
establishment has hitherto done (that of ranking among the first
in the country), declares that he has never done, nor will he do,
any art, which, in his opinion, would much lower him i,t the esti-
mation of an enlightened public. The nuisance occasioned by
such vile practices, induces Jonathan Warren to offer a Reward to
any person who may detect others itOrriting his name on any Walls.
Jonathan SVarren likewise cautions the public against spurious
articles being sold tinder his name, and that his only Establishment
is at 30, II imgerford Stairs, Strand. where his genuine and only
original Blacking is sold wholesale ; anti triad by every respect-

CORONER'S lIVQUESre

SUDDEN De TH.—Yesterday afternoon, an Inquest was held
at the house of hlr.Chater, Bolton-street,. Leng-ane, on the body
of Henry Penney, carpenter, and a native and freeman of Bet-
wiek-upon-Tweed, who died actklecly in (haloes-anest, Hooey-
lane, on Saturday I st.
The first witness called was 111 r. Charles Starkey, surgeon to the
St. Giles's Infirmary, who stated that he was seat for toattend the
deceased, whom he found lying on a shutter, supported by four
men. Witness used all the means it his power to Testae anima-
tion, but in vain. lie was confident the deceased died e %usual
death, caused by an internal rupture of a blood vessel.
Benjamin Wallace, carpenter, had known the deceased tor 10
years, and he had been employed by him. Had seen him about a
month before, when witness thought him to be alling,_ Had not
seen him from that time up to the fatal occurrence. He at tines
made rather free, but on the whole was a worthy workman. He
fully believed that no violence had been used, and thought the de-
ceased hsd died a natural death.
The other evidence adduced went to prove, that about half-pan
five o'clock, on Saturday evening, the deceased was standing is
Charlesstreet, Drury-lane, when be was seised with a little cough-
log. dropped down, and expired.
The op y relative he had in town was a sister, who came forward
and claimed the body, which, of wane was delivered up to her,
sad thus his fellow workman were relieved frotn carrying their hw
mane intentions into eff'ect, of burying him at their own entree.
The Jury, in passing through the poor-house pied to Clew the
body, wag much gratified with the healthy appear nce of the chil-
dren • and on their return, the evidence having been gone through
by Mr. Stirling. ths Coroner, they unanimously brought in a rap

The following is a letter from Captain Guion, 41,8
Nlajcsty's ship Tribune, to the British Consul, dated
Trieste, May '23 :
" R—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your krter, dartd
the 25ith lost., inclosing a copy of the instructions you had given to
the vessels caring out from this port previous to my arrival,
which I approve of; sad as the service on which I am employed at
the lonian Islands requiring immediate return thither, you will
please to signify to the vessels now loading here, that I do not
consider dim is any risk of their meeting any molestation in
the Adriatic t that they may therefore call at Corfu for con-
voy to Malta, from whence they will be convoyed out of the
Straits of Gibraltar, the Commander-in-Chief having made at-
, rangenients for that purpose. Should these vessels find any ditfi-
catty from contrary winds in touching at Corfu, they may with
safety proceed to Malta, as the Commander-in-Chlef is with a
strong squadron blockading Algiers, where all the vessels of the
enemy are laid up and dismantled.
I have the honour. dc.

ALARMING FIRE.

[Prom the rut•donian Merenry of Thur.day.l
A fire of most alarming eaten broke out here about one o'clock
this morning, in the lower story of a tenement at the head of the
' Royal Bank close, which has occasioned more extensive ruin than
any accident of the same kind that has occurred within the recollec-
tion of the oldest inhabitant. The alarm was given a few minutes
before one, by the ringing of the bells; but the flames raged with
such effect, that notwithstanding the exertions of all the tire
engines, both of Edinburgh and Leith, aided by a heavy fall of
rain, the house in which the fire began, and the one immediately
behind it, were in one mass of nuns before four o'clock ; and
where two houses of six stories high stood last night, there is now
only a vacant arm. Two other houses adjoining, of equal extent,
the one leading Into the Parliament Square, and the other on the
East aide of the Square, to which the flames early communicated,
are now burning. The one in the High Street is already (eleven
o'clock) burnt down to the fourth story, and must inevitably fall a
prey to the flames, which to all appearance were got under; bat
they have since broke out afresh, and are not yet extinguished.
The firemen appear to have made some impression on the one in
the Square, and it is hoped they may obtain the mastery over it,
though it is yet doubtful I and it is deeply to be regretted that
most of their unfortunate tenants, who are labourers. are now
homeless, their homes and all their little effects being consumed.
Some of them were glad to escape with their bees, by the roofs of
the houses, which were fiat, with scum* any covering. Part of the
first floor of the front tenement destroyed was occupied as a coasting
house by the proprietors of the Weekly ChruNicle, who were
giti~!lees was
and secured their books and other
.as also hers a tweets lately tresupind %palm Tbliano.
W-Mr. Sutherland's book-binding shop, bolas wises lOW
places of business, which are all in ruins. The inhabitants of the
two houses which are now burning, we believe had time to remove
the most part of their furniture, which is deposited soda the
piazzas is the Pahameut.aquare ; one of these is in the Square,
and its lower story is occupied by Mesas. Bell and Bradfute,
booksellers, and others. The tire we undevetand broke out in the
house of Mr. (Juno, spirit-dealer, On the ground story.
A number of engins repaired to the spot as WOO as the alarm
was given t and Mr.e Sheriff Duff. Bailin Allan, and Waugh,
the superintendent of police, Ste. with a r.umber of high constables,
were conspicuous fur their exertions. A party of the 65th regiment
from the Castle have given the most active and useful assistance
bath in working the engines and serving them with water, and in
keeping order in the street. The loss of property must be very
extensive; but in the confusion which still prevails we have been
unable to anemia its amount, or bow far it may be insured. No
lemons accident has occurred to any individual.

WEST INDIA ISLANDS.

Letters received yesterky from Demerara, dated the
tlidh of April, state the alarm which oec.isioned the call-
ing out of the forces, the militia, &c., had considerably
subsided. Sir Ben. IYLTrban, the new Governor of that
colony, ar'rived on the Yith from Antigua in his Majesty's
brig Ilillette. Governor Murray bad taken his passage for
England on board the Underwood merchantman, which
was expected to sail about the '2Atlt of April.
It s ill be recollected that some months ago a party of the white
inhabitants of Barbadoes (of the very lowest order of whites we
bops and presume) not only created a riot, and pulled down to the
ground a chapel at Barbadoes. but issued hand-bills in a tone of
exultation at their illegal triumph. The Governor, on the other
hand, put forth a strong Proclamation on this audacity! proceed-
ing ; and his Majesty's Ministers have since, very properly, or-
dered the chapel to be rebuilt at the public expense. A new occa-
sion of violence has since arisen. Four hundred of his Majesty's
subj:cts, freemen, but excluded by the laws of the island teem
certain civil rights, bare in most modest and humble terms ex-
premed to his Majesty's Representative their hope, that at some
.fairre time their claims to participate with their felluw-anhiects in
civil rights will be duly taken into em.sidemtion. The small Par.
figment of liarbadoes becomes indignant at this; and "in the
most positive and unequivocal mimer denim that the free coloured
lairabttarna of the Woad are tattled to any rights sad privileges
except those granted to them by the Colonial Legislature." Nay.
it is added. that " the continuance even of thaw rights must
dewed entirely on their good conduct."—Star.

OLD BAILEY. THURSDAY, JUNK 10.

CA RI. ILE'S BL ASP H E MOUS PUBLICATIONS.
James Clark was put to the bar on an indictment charging him
with having published a blasphemous and scandalous libel of and
concerning our holy religion, in the 17th number of the Repub-
lican, vol. 9.
The prisoner boldly defended the principles of the work, and
called on the witnesses on the part cat the prosecution to explain
what blasphemy meant.
In the course of the triil the Court was repeatedly under the ne-
cessity of stopping the prisoner, who admitted that he bad had the
offer of assistance from several professional gentlemen, but had de-
clined the favour.
The Jury found him CiAny.
The It EconnEn then sentenced the prisoner to three yews' los-
prisonment in Newgate, and at the end of that period to enter into
his own reognixances in 100!., to be of good behaviour for his life.
Rasta& one of Carlile's shopmen, whose trial and conviction we
gave yesterday, was sentenced to two years imprisonment, and to
enter into his own recognizance in 1001. to be of goal behaviour
during his life.
The following prisoners received sentence of death :—Mary
Watson, J. Iteadin,,, Robert Hebber, John Morris, Jas. Thomas,
and William Reynolds, for stealing in a elwellnig-house ; Richard
Hart, J. Williams, Thomas Davis, John Thomson, John Johnson,
anti Donald 111`Croy for burglary ; T. J. Boyce, for cutting and
maiming; Richard 'Cornwall and Ann Gates, for highway rob-
bery ; William Whalley, for secreting a letter containing bl.;

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, THURSDAY, Just 10.

THE KING r. APPERLET.
Mr. CLARK said, this was an action against the defendant, Chas.
James Apperley. to recover a bslance of 21141. 10s. due by hint as
Paymaster of the Ancient tarnish Fencibles. This corps lielonged
to the Irish and English (.4t3blishment, but it was upon the latter
that this balance was claimed.
Mr. BROCOHAN said, that however hard it might be against
the defendant, he was aware that 11 verdict must go against hitt..
The fact, however, was, that the defendant entrusted the affair to
other persons, and he knew nothing of any balance remaining for
eleven yens. The only person who could be a witness was Cd.
Werdlc, who had been many years, and is now abroad, therefore
he wssdeprived of any means of negativing this claim.
Verdict for the Crown.—Damages,
TIIE KING t. MARY WAT/RRORE.
This was an information charging the defendant, a maltster, at
Richmond, with fraudulently conveying barley from the BOW/
while in a state of vegetation, and before it was gauged penalty
Excise officer, by which she had become liable to the
of 214 i.
The defendant's Counsel stopped the case by submitting to •
verdict for the Crown.
THE RING r. WILLIAM BUSH.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, this was an information
against the defendant, a carpenter, in Old OraveLlane, charging
him with having in his po•session a quantity of spirits Illicitly dis-
tilled, knowing it to be so, by which he had incurred a penalty of
1001. Other counts charged hint snit the 'tame offence at various
times. The Learned Counsel said, it would appear that the guilty
knowledge would be sufficiently established by the fact of the de-
fendant having been actually employed in erecting several illicit
stills, and had acted as a patireps erirnissis in the whole affair.
Six offences were proved against the defendant, but only two
penalties were claimed.
Verdict for the Crown.—Damages, 200!.

POLICE.

II A TTON.GA RDEN.
PRE3EIVATIOX FROM SlAClDE.—YeateTdly, J. 1114Dovall,
in an apparently much distressed state of mind, was brought up
from Cainden.town watchhousa, in the custody of Dalton, the
watehhouse keeper, charged with being found on the banks of the
canal onWednesday taight.ssamigly with an intention to put a period
to his existence. On being taken to the watchhouse, and after ex.
pressing his strong indignation at not being allowed to pursue his
welLarranged plan, he was recognised by Dalton as a man whom
be had apprehended under similar circumstances in the month of
January last, with a letter in his hand, addressed to a Captain of
one of the Leith smacks, declaring, that as he could not get a
passage to the " Land of Cakes" by any established mode of con.
veyance, he had determined on some kind of aquatic excursion.
In answer to numerous questions from the Magistrate he answered
very incoherently, particularly when asked how he got his living ;
be replied, " Please your Worship, at any decent and commodious
eooksnop I find."
The Magistrate perceiving that his ideas soared above any
sublunary considerations, sent hint for one month to the House of
Correction.

CNION-HALL.
A person of respectable appearance, named Lacy. who was
some days ago apprehended upon a charge of having defrauded up-
wards of thirty trash-Innen, resident in the Borough, was brought
before 11.. J. Chalmers, and R. Hedger, Esqrs. hr persons,
named Shared+, Stephens, and Stanley, the first of whom was
Laskey's errand boy, and the other two employed in con-
ing goods by Lackey, were placed in the bar along with him.
Laskey lithe person who set up a fictitious coffee-shop in the Bo-
rough, and commenced his real business by sending round orders to
the tradespeople whom he thought most likely to be imposed upon.
He had stocked his shop with stacks of sawdust, so that the neigh-
bours thought it a very respectable set-out, and he professed to
retail the very best roasted corn.
Several tradesmen then detailed the manner in which goods had
been obtained from them ; and Mr. Chalmers thought one of the
cases was strong enough to secure the attendance of all the
witnesses, /cc. at another examination.
A tradesman said, it could be proved at the next examination,
that a man was in readiness, in the neighbourhood of loskey's
house, to take off all the goods which were brought into the house
by the duped tradesmen. The moment this ambassador perceived
that those who went into the shop loaded came out empty, he
entered and made a clearance.
The Magistrates finally determined to remand loskey and
filiatlrsch, and to permit Stephens and Stanley to be at large upon
their own recognizance".
• The two last prisoners, it appeared, were employed to carry goods
for loskey, but it did not appear that they were aware of the
Character of their employer.

EJECTMENT OP AN EX-SHERIFF. OR TILE
MEETING IN AN UPROAR.

[From a Correspondent]
On Wednesday evening a most ludicrous renoor tre took place at
the Crown and Anchor Tavern' Strand, in which an Ex-ditude,
who of late has rendered himself conspicuous on various °maims,
was the most prominent feature, and subjected himself to a course
of treatment very seldom adopted by gentlemen without consider-
able offensive provocation.
Sonic charitable gentlemen of the County of Cumberland, MM.
bled at the above Tavern, for the purpose of celebrating the
festival of a praiseworthy Institution for the relief ofaged and intim
destitute persons of the county, and educating their children.
Sir James Graham, Bart., was in the Chair, and Colonel
Lowther, Sir Philip 3lusgrave, Ban., ALP., with several other
M.l"s. and Gentlemen of disfinction, attended. to aid in their
work of charity, and for a certain period indulged in the most per-
fect conviviality, until the Chairman quitted his situation, and watt
conducted front the room by the Stewards, Colonel Lowther, and
other Gentlemen. The worthy Ex-Sheriff, who had attended the
dinner, sat perfectly quiet up to this time, and seemed to sip ha
wine with the utmost satisfaction during the evening, but on the
Chairman and his friends entering the Committee-room, they vat
not a little alarmed at hearing the utntost confusion among the
company, and the general inquiry of " what's the matter" ensued,
but no satisfactory answer could be received, the attention of tier,
individual being too much occupied in the affray to reply to thew
busy questions. Waiters were looking after their masters'obks
and glasses, while some were looking after their wine. Omsk.
men were crying " Turn him out," and the awkwod proliconeet
of the poor Ex rendered it necessary for him to protect his pawn
and dignity by levelling a few a la Spring, until he was forcibly
ejected with " blood upon his check." The matter was then es.
plained to the gentlemen of distinction outside the room. The
Ex—Sheriff, it appears, ever ready to promote the welfare of charity
and conviviality, after Sir James had quitted the IC3(11, mounted ths
table and proposed himself as Chairman, to which he considered
himself entitled as a " Cumberland man." But this did set meet
the cordial approbation of the company, which gave rise to Me
argument between the lex-Sberiff and several gentlemen present,
anal the worthy Ex was soon removed from his situation. A via
lent scuffle took place, and the claret flew in profusion, but the
ejectment of the objectionable individual was finally sccomplithed.
We have not heard how the antagonists of the would-be Chairman
got off., but thelwro of the fray received a very unpleasant track on
the ,coact, which brought bleed, ant he ultimately left the tavern,
declaring that he had been very ill treated, and that the saiters
ought to have protected him in time battle.

MEETIIVG OF POSTMASTERS.

Oa Wednesday a General Meeting of the Society of United
Postmasters took place at the Freemasons' Tavern. filr. EDWARD
WniTE in the ('hair.
Frain the Report it appeared, that notwithstanding the clearness
and simplicity of the new Law for regulating the Post-horse Duties.
vary attempts had been made by the fanners of those duties, in
various parts of. the country, to pervert i!s meaning, for sinister
purposes ; and, in Or4er to inistrate such attempts, it strongly re-
mtnruerided the appointment o!' an officer, with a permanent salary,
to whom all members of the Society. might apply in cases of doubt
or difficulty; whose ditty it should be to communicate with
the cfficers of Government upon matters which might require their
interposition. This recommendation was unanimously adopted,
and the Chairman was immediately elected to fill the office. A
great number of Postmasters attended from the most distant parts
if the country.
The Cum ILMAN addressed the Meeting, stating that they owed
theme* 1318 relating to their trade to the alteration in the ('abinet.
Mr. Robinson having framed the new Act for their relief, c hich
Mr. Vanaittarl had repeatedly premier-J. Mr. Sykes, the Solicitor
of the stamps; had also given very powerful assistance to the trade.
Two hundred and fifty sat down to an excellent dinner at four
o'clock ; MT. White in the Chair. The healths of the several no-
blecuen and gentlemen who were mentioned in the proceedings as
basing assisted the Society, were drunk with enthusiasm, and a very
11113001 DOUR meeting was passed.
