MR. MATREM'S.

In our last we Ind the pleasure a announcing the
einmeiuttit of ?,Jr. Mathews. He ;approve this
evening on the hoards of our Theatre. His versa-
tile and extraordinary talents will form an irresistible

popularity of Mr. Mathews is too well established
to require any observation from us. In addition to
his excellent talent as one of the first comediani of
thy age, he has acquired a reputation for COMIC

LAMENTABLE CATASTROPUE IN LOMBARD-

STRRET.

An inquisition was taken last night at St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, before Thomas Sartre-ell, Eq. upon the body
of Master Minim Mai keith, aged eleven yews and seven
months, the son of Me. Nlarekeitle, grocer and tea-dealer,
Lombard-street, whose death was caused by the falling of a
htg:i wall, formerly the front of the lonise or Mt. Sat it h, cutler,
Lombard-street, which was destroyed by fire on Friday
night last.
Andrew Tinton, fireman, belmtging to the Globe insurance
Office, &Tomei as follows :—Witness was ',lauding near the
wall, about a quarter of •es hone before four o'clock, on Sa-
turday afternoon, looking after hie engine, when he heard a
cracking noise, and saw the front wall of Mr. Smith's house
rail dome. The house had been destroyed on the preceding
evening. Witness was much alarmed, and nearly suffocated
by the dint. As mann as he was able lie rendered assistance to
the unfortunate sufferers. The deceased lay near Mr. Bick-
nell's dour. Witness saw nu rubbish on him, bat the blood
poured profusely from bin head. Be tarried the deceased to
11w shop of Messrs. Eilenbenough, chemists, &c. Poultry;
• gentlemen who examined I superficially said, that he
could render the deceased to service, and advised witness to
procure a coach, which hr accordingly did, and conveyed
him to St. Bartholoenea's hospital. Witness could not
assign any cause for the wall falling ; it appeared very firm
a short tone before; many persons were injured; they
were chiefly passeugere, whom curiosity had drawn to
the spot. Carriages weer allowed to pass down the street
during the early part of Saturday morning; ■ bar was after-
wards put up to prevent them.
Mr. T. P. Delayer, louse-surgeon of St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, deposed, that on Saturday afternoon, about five
o'clock, the deceased was brought to the hospital by the
above witness in a state of insensibility, has head was (sadly
fracinreil in several places, no hopes were entertained of his
recovery, and he soon after expired. from an anatomical
exlminatiou since death, witness found that the injuries the
deceased received were of the most extensive kind.
Mr 'tickle, idreveyor to the Phoenix Fire Office, produced
to the Jury • plan of the buildings destroyed and those ad-
joiniug ; he stated that he had examined the premiers a
short time prior to the wall falling, and it was then his ?pi-
nion that the front wall of Mr. Smith's bowie was perfectly
safe. The cause of its falling waitron% a stack of chitaiiiris,
the height of the whole huildiug, which, stood upon its urn
bailie, inrtining against it. The chimnies were 'stopped with
sonic timber, which the firemesi had cot away.
Mr. Harrison, the Surv►yor of the Eagle Laureate Office,
statrd, that he was on the premises of Mr. Smith, at three
u'e lock on Sat urday afternoon, and he considered it to be
so very firm, that if the Offire had had to rebuild the pre-
mises, lie should not hare considered it necessary to hams
rebuilt the wall ; he was of opinion that it was forced duwu
by th► stack of chininies filling against it, and the aroma
the chisnuies giving way was from the supports being burnt.
Coroner—" It would have bee, better bad the street beets
stopped up when the buildings were tumid to be in danger of
falling "
Surveyor—" We could not stop up the thoroughfare
without an ordar from the Magistrates"
A G..eitlentan, a friend of the deceased, mid, if the precau-
'looney measures adopted lime the accident had Irmo re-
sorted to prior to its occurrence, the melaucholy carcans-
steam would not have happened.
Verdict—"Accideilni Dealk."

There are several runners in the south who boast
they are the fleetest and the best in England. It
is muigular that none of them send a challenge to
the Yorkshire runner, Beak.
DELICATEINVESTIGATION.—We understand
that sit inquiry is now in progress at the Custom-
house, before thy Chief Commissioners of Expise,
of a nature boils delicate and serious. A fraud, to
a considerable extent, has been practised ow the
public, which has, fortunately, not escaped detec-
tion. The vigilance and activity of Mr. UAW-
TIIcIRNE have been exerted to bring to light this
mysterious business. We do not wish to say more
at pre‘thi, but the affair is of that kind that wilt
necessarily produce further results.—(Daddin

We sr sorry to say that the infant is not yet ander the

bury the effect of the child'. absence noon the mind. of Mr.
and Mrs. Horsley and Mr. agouti', that they have not been
in hed more thin an boor together, any night since it was
stolen. Mr. D was an particularly attaehed to the inteiettt-
Ing creators,, that he bail resolved to leave him heir to all his
property, which is teported to be alsiott 30,1100/.
Taunton. the How.dreet officer, was in France when Len-
nett, who is 'slimmed to have stolen the child, crossed the
:Channel; but Taunton dad not hear of the mrenmslanee

of George Reynolds.. _ _

When-Taisiiion arrived at Calais he foetid that the delin-
quent bad kft Hoerr on the 10th instant. lie hail been at a
tavern, kept by a person of the name of licorice, and had
taken refreshments, sad also given some to the child, who
was in good health. Renuett, it appears, applied immedi-
ately to the Pollee, on Isis arrival in Calms, to get his pow-
port endorsed, which being done he met off with the child in
the diligence towards ffrrissebs. Prior to Taunton's. %resold
arrival in France the nephew of Mr. Horsley stud Gooding,
the officer, had arriskrkand had pursued the fugitive, vs. that
the straw wasgeuerally known,ausl told to him on his laading.
He learned that the pursuers had discovered the route taken
by Renterit, and weirs'at least three stages tin their way after
♦in, and it was therelbre useless in him to continue the
pursuit; for the persons who were before him havinx re-
ceived every assistance flows the French Police, would he
equally able to obtain their subject as if he were to follow.
He therefore returned to INgland with th,.. so far satisfactory
intelligence to the afflicted relatives of the child. Such is
the system of she French Pellire Department, that the 'w-
ailers were iuformesl that they might rest assured that both
child and thief would Ise ultimately in custody.
Oo Friday a letter from Clouding, the trahis wife,
was received in town, giving further hopes that the child
will soon he retrieved. The following is a copy :
" DEAR Wm—Request Valentine (an Aker), to be so
good as to call on Mr. Horsley, No. 3, Canontrary-lane,
Ishoigton, and inform hint that we arc still in hopes of seis-
ing Remick, and recovering the child. He is gone further
up 11w counliy. We lauded at three o'clock on Sunday last,
and are iu pursuit.

Since the above, further luformation has been received in
town; and on &ittirday rooming a coarsautiirati iiii a writing
was received by Mrs. Horsley from Mr. Biruie, of which the
following is. ropy :

ATTIOEPT AT SUICIDE.

Mr. Varney, who keeps so eating-house in Newcastle-

In his shop, when he suddenly applied the carving-knife to

wound on the side of his throat. flue of the servants was
standing near at the time, and on seeing the blood run down

could render his master au assistance, hot gave a loud shriek
and ran away. Mrs. Varney and others found the untwist.
lisle man in that condition; they sent for Dr.Caton, who
dressed the wound, but pronounced him to be in great
danger. Mr. Varney was in flourishing circumstances, and
no cause can be assigned fur the act.

IVe are happy in being able to contradict the rr-
port of the loss of the Mermaid schooner, on the
coast of New South Wales, in March last. On the
contrary, some interesting dispatches have been re-
ceived at the Admiralty from Lieutenant KING,
tier Commander, dated from Timor, in Java,
Mots which it appears, that Lieutenant KING
bad succeeded in exam' g the whole of the
north-aestern coast, amid particularly that pan be-
hind Rosemary Islatida, where DAMPIER thought
there was a strait or some great river ; but he
found none. At the bottom of Van Dieniati's Bay,
however, he fell in with three branches of a river,
forming un extensive delta, and proceeded eo or
tid miles up one of them, at which place it was
150 yards wide. The whole country was alluvial
and perfectly ftit, so fa► as the rye could reach,
and beyond winch the tide was observed to flow.
Lieut. KING had heard nothing of FREYEINET,
and he certainly had out been on any part of the
western coast.

Extract trots the Preface to Lady MORGAN'S
New Work :
" The Irish have been accused of making an ostentatious
display of their injuries, and of clasikiug their chains to
excite compassion; but however humiliating it may be
deemed to ititerate complain: where there is no commisera-
tion, and to urge claims where there is no redress, the alter-
native is less intolerable than that silent aapitescenee, which
malice or self-interest is but too ready to construe into tacit
approbation.
" The appeal to public opinion Mang. to the age in
which we live; and it is the certainty of its ultimate success,
not the abject hopelessness of its repetition, which has
excited this affectation of disgust. The ' National Tale,'
with .Inch the reader i• here presented. is nu pathetic •p-
-peal to public compassion. It is indeed impossible to speak
of Ireland, still less to take it as the scene of a narrative,

The VICE•CHANCELLOII...-... Why tin,--eiat hoc

Mr. MONTAGUE—" Perhaps according to strict

Mr. AGAR—" That is not the case."

Mr. AGAR then stated, that thin was the petition

Clough. Price, Martin, amid Jones, bank-
ers at Denbigh, praying that they might be at
liberty to prove their debts tinder time commission
of bankruptcy which had issued iigninst Clough,
Martin, Mason, and Jones, which had been refus-
ed by the Commissioners under the kilowing cir-
cuinstances•:—'flie five first-named persons set sip
a bank id Denbigh. in the year Igus, and issued
notes in the name of Clough, Pike, and Co. in
the year 1812, Price withdrew hanself .from Ike

theinsetves the outstanding debts, mud their notes
were issued us Clough, Mason, and Co. but were
in the habit of receiving the notes of Clough, Price,
and Cu. iii payment, and re-issuing them, und, in
the year 1817, Clringh, Masim, and Co. became
bankrupts. He (the Learned Counsel) contended,
that time Commissioners ought to have allowed the
Petititioners to prove the notes im, their possession,
issued by the first firm, under the commission of
bankruptcy against the second.
The VICE-CMANCELI.OI—" la it sworn that the

Mr. AG•11-." It is not ; but it is sworn thst

The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Is In this Case the

Mr. JONES opposed the motion, awl read 'eve-

'frst two swrions ; one, who described hitustlf as
" Samuel Eatery. of Surrey, gentleman," and the
other from ►a Thomas Smith, surgeon." They
both deposed that Mr. Bowyer, who had offered

Sir W6l. OWEN. in support of his rule, said, that
the affidavits on the port of Mr. Bowyer did mit
'contradict the fact of his raving been repeatedly

stance of Alr. Emery having described himself as

it entitled to remark. Mr. Emery was nut of any
particular business, and lie was entitled to the ap-
pellation assumed. Lord Coke said that gen-

Mr. Emery was as well totaled as guy body else

Mr. Baron CLlttanw—.6 What makes against
you is, that this Mr. Emery practises as au agent in

Every body who has nothing to do is generally
a gentleman; hat this man, it appears, has souse
sort of business."
The Court discharged the rule.
COTTON V. OWEN.
Mr. LITTLEDAI.6 hail obtaitied a rule 113 this
case to set aside the proceedings instituted by the
Planitiff, on the ground that the matter at issue was
*worst') the dig,aily of the Court. The action was
brought by the Plaintiff, for the recovery of an or-
'tear of twenty shillings for the rent of a garden
Bedminster, near Bristol.
Mr. Joist:4 was heard against the rule. He stat-
ed that the reason of bringing this case before the
Court was, because the tows. of Bedminster, by a
late Act of Parliament, had been divided, for the
purpose of jurisdiction, into two ruts—one part
was placed within the jurisdiction of Bristol, and
the other within that of the County of Somerset.
The P.aintiff resided within the Bristol division,
and the Defendant in that of the county of Somer-
set, and the laud which was the cause of the action
was situate, according to one statement, in the Bris-
tol district, and according to another in the county
division. In this dilemma, the jurisdiction of nei-
ther would afford redress, and the action was of tie-
mssity brought in this, the superior Court.
The Couira were of opinion that the locality of
the place, which was the cause of action, should
have bees. ascertained by the parties, oath the reco-
very of the debt sough in the proper local Court,
either at the Bristol Sessions or the Sheriff's Court
for the county. The Court of Exchequer never
took cogisizance of actions where the valor was on-
der 40s. slidess where the party had no redress else-
where.
The rule was made absolute.

The Court was occupied nearly the whole day in

the Chertsey market is held.
The Petition was from Riclnird Malthen and two
other inhabitants of Chettsey, praying that the

ADMISSION OF THE PUBLIC TO POLICE OFFICES.
A Merchant of the City informed the Lord Mayor, that be
bad been refused admittance join the Justice Room by one
of the Officers, and declared that it was a molt injurious
and unwarrantable liberty in the Officer to oppose any Geu-
Ilent►u upon his basine►a.
The Land Mayor said, he observed that the public papers
had made some ■mwadversioua upon the re fusel of the
officer to allow some person to pass into the Justice Room.
Hr would put it to the cummult avow of soy man, whether
the business of the Mansi•nn House could be at all gum,
through if sill the passages were to be (hutted up. The
directions be bad issued were, that those whn had oar bast-
Was should not be allowed to pia, in order that those who
hail, might have an import •y of doing theirs
The state of the Justice Room was a complete comment
upon this observation. Many who had much business to go
through felt great impediment in the constant Mkt* even
of those whose claim to adwmisaiue was as strong as theirs.
The public are much accommodated here by the oppurtuni•
ties afforded to the Reporters upon all oeca.ions. Perhaps
the facilitied are greater is the City Police Offices than is
any others, iu consequence of the light in which the Magis-
trates view the necessity of guarding the public against vi•
duos character., *a well es on account of the very great
civility of the upper officers of the police.
The LORD MAYOR mitred the Complainant that there
Humid never be the slightest opposition to the admission of
those who had any thin to do; " but," said hr, " this Jus-
tice Ruuni was nut wade fur all the world."
