the public joy.
'rite Lord Mayor having ascertained that the conduct
of the applicant had not beet* improper on-the occasion,
except inasmuch as he .1;4;1 fired off the pistol in the air,
and by the explosion invited a similar *hew of congratu-
lation ou the pars.of others, said he should not detain

Hn Lordship observed, that it was with great pleasure
be perceived than the City.of London had fully answered
the expectations generally eutenaitied, by preserving the
peace during the rejocirtgs. Be did not to COIllell•
went the City Police, but he could not help thinking
that they were perfectly qualified to keep under any dia.
position to acts of fury aniongt the turbulent, without
any dangerous consequences to themselves, or requiring
aid from thin., the very appearance of whom within the
walls of the City was considered in the light of an attack
upon the privileges of its inhabitants.
;.,,Soule fellows who had undergone examinations on
Tuesday, upon charges of having attempted to rob gem
den ten oisCoriihill, were again broupi2t up. No per-
son appeared against liens, but then lathers promiseil a
great lend, and the Lord Mayor said he should specu-
late upon their repentance, and dismissed thein.
On the night upon tehiels these men were taken into
curtody, Mr. Browne, the marshal, received, in the per-
formance of his duties, very severe tteatment from the
gang of pickpoci hat infested Fleet-street, in the
neighbourhood of Alderinan Waithinan's house, and
Ludgate-hill, opposite to that of Mr. Hone. lie ob-
served a desperate fellow dragging the property out of
people's pockets in the crowd, and made over to hint fur
the purpose of taking hint into custody. The thief with
the view of carrying ou his plan, in which he was as-
sisted by several others, with the better effect, cried oast,
"The Vine's fins ever," at every grab he made, and upon
seeing Mr. Brown, lie roared out to his companions—

leader opened a passage, and as soon as he had entered
amongst diem, followed by Mr. Brown, they closed
hemming in upon all sides die marshal, who, however,
seised his olject. They commenced an attack upon Mr.
Brown, from whom the leading thief disengaged him-
self by slipping most dexterously out of his coat and
waistcoat, and lighting hard like a cat upon lea back.—
The marshal was overwhelmed by the gang, and slashed
upon due ground, but he used his weapon with such
vigour. that in about a quarter of an hour, after barn%
given a good many bloody noses he disengaged 'Misch.
—The gang disappeared almost with the rapidity
of lightniug, notwithstanding the extent of the multi-
tude, for the depealators have lately manceuvereil with
great elfect. Their troopsare marshalled in such a man-
ner, theist the woolof command they throw themselves
into position, favourable to the escape of any of their
pursued comrades.
YRIIMITLIC EFFIMINACIC.AII inhabitant of St
Andrew's Illackfriar's, appeared before the Lord Mayor,
to answer a complaint against him for refusing to pay
the P.OSOWS Tydies—he stated that the Rev. Isaac
Saunders refused so christen his child, on the ground
that lie should take cold from the damp state of the
christening pew, and not having had what he termed a
" legal notice." It appeared from the statement of the
husband that the lady (who had just recovered from her
confinement), had been kept waiting in the said pew for
upwards of ail lour, and then was obliged to have her
child christened in another parish. Tile Lord Nlayor
said lie could not enter into thecae, and the complain
ant must pay the tythe, or carry the ease into the Eccle-
siastical Court.

with the Catoni lett conspiracy, was a man named John
Palau. who was often mentioned in the evidence upon
trials of l'histiewood amid others. He escaped at the

;tlft: THE NATIONAL REGIfrER

The following is an affecting instance of severe dis-
tress, aggravated by the iiiischievousy estav-rrated reports
of improvements in the cotton-trade of Glasgow :
" One day, Int week, a stranger, in a miserable forlorn
condition, and whose ' tottering frame' was scarcely
able to support itself, was observed by untie workui:::l
near the mill of Johnston, in Aimatidale, to drop down
on the high road. At first lie was supposed to be dead,
as no pulsation was discoverable; but, on being re-
moved •to the toiler's house, he was placed before a
ood fire, Isis body was chafed, and as al.insation began

'winter, who had gone from Preston to Glasgow tee
search of work; being disappointed, and on his return
to England; necessity had compelled him to sell his
great coat and other parts of his clothing. His funds at
last failed him, and he hail not forahree days tasted any
food, except a turnip that he foistid on the road. Such
was the simple but effecting story of this poor luau; the
miller and his 'family afforded bun every attention, sand
at parting on the next intorno% (he twin; then sufficient-
ly recovered to be able to resume his journey}, presented
hums with lb striftingt, that be had cullecteed for him in
the neighbourhood.
A few days since a man knocked at thsodnos of the
widow Citly,oflVhaplode-Feli-ends, Licolushire, under
the pretence of having a letter in deliver. The door
was tot soonet opened, than its walked four men masked,
WllOlll die inmates at firs; took to be morris dancers,
but they were tery Iwo unluckily undeceived by the
marauders very deldnintely pulling out their hammers,
chisels, &c. :There was only one servant man in the.
home (the rest trifle family, consisting of the mistress,
maid, and son, deal and dumb), who 111011 resolutely
strove to defend his mistress's property, and succeeded in
knocking off two of the rascals' masks, but they at last
overcame bins, and having bound kilo,, as well as the
others, proceeded to plunder the house. The amount
of the property stolen Wascertained to be above bohl. it

derable sum of 1110119 ill her possession,
On Alimilay login Last a burgla was coeunitted at
•Fal ttttt uth, the Iv use of ckry
plain Furze, of his Ma-
jesty's packet thrste4fielti, 'which sailed lately fur the
Brazils. Mrs. Furze having accompanied Captain F.
on his toyage, tie house was shut up, with all the :tor-
flour, wearing apparel, &c. The Man who superin-
tended the twr..en I don Tuesday turning, that the
garden door was ittoken off at the back part of the house,
at winch the villains must have tittered, from whence

they got in at the back windows, and broke open every
lock of the drawers, closets, &c. which they left empty.
It is supposed that a large (remit), of plate, wearing
apparel, bed linen, &c. have been carried off. The loss
cannot be ascertained till Mrs. F.'s return, as no one
was eery:timed with what was left in the house but
themselics. A bather depredation was likely to be
effecte.i on the following night on the furniture, had not
this discovery taken place. The house stands by itself,
but at a very short distance there are several houses,
streets, &c. and nearly close to Selby's HMO, Green
Bank.
PROVIDEIITML, ESERVATIOS.—The Irish packets
being all on other side of the Channel on Saturday the
3d of October, a small vessel was engaged at Dunmore
to convey a mail to Milord. She was navigated by four
men, and two gentlemen and a lady embraced the op-
portunity of coining over in• her. When about midways
a violent atoms Caine on, and the crazy bark was stook
stripped of her sails and part of her rigging. In this.
au lid dilemma, it was discovered that the crew were all
completely ignorant where they were, or how they
should act, and the most absunl and contradictory opi-
nions prevailedamougst them. All however, agreed in
the probability of their being speedily buried in the deep.
After consulting the passengers on the course to be
steered, from whom they could receive little or no mho.
Rino!' or advice, these four worthless fellows filially
abandoned all cliaq.e of the ship, had recourse to liquor,
and at 'eolith became wraio in sleep, leaving the pas-
sengers in agony 01 mind easier to be conceived than
described. After being buffeted ariout lOr several hours,
the vessel was at last driven into a small inlet near Pis-
guard, county of Cork, and the lives of all were thus
miraculously preserved.
MURDElL—Saturday Wei:tight, the 4th inst. a most
feroc. . and murderous robbery was committed upon
,Ir. litmus, of Alveston, when returning mini War.
wick about eight o'clock iu the evening. It appears
that he was attacked near his own house, by. dater men
who rifled his pockets, and beat him on the head in a
most violent manlier. In this state Mr. Hiroo, crawled
into a ditch, where he lay in a state of insensibility un-
til morning, when he was diseovored
.by a female pas-
senger passing by. lie was immediately taken home
and every assistance afforded, but in vain, and he died
on Tuesday night the 7th inst.
ifittiTat. OUTRAGE.-.--A brace of handsome pointers
(value 3:s guineas) ran from their master a few days
back into a wood in the neighbourhood of Tittleshail,
in Norfolk, when a fellow who sometimes assists the
keeper to kill rabbits, was seen to follow them with a
double barrelled gun, and as soon as lie was iii he fired
at one, who came Out shrieking and wounded, he then
fired the other barrel, and, as he staid in the wood a
little time, and was there 1116.1111 ill the afternoon, it is
conjectured that tlie other was shot dead, and is con-
cealed, as it has mat beta seen or heard of since. The
wounded dog was badly shot about the head, but is re-
covered.
