One person tore a letter to pirces; but not so effec-
luilly as to prevent its being again put together.
Another letter was thrown into the fire, and was so
much spoiled as to be illegible. Several atheistical

three were apprehended on suspicion of snaking
pike., at the instance of the Magistrates.

" Some time ago the Medical*. as they were
called, gave out, that, on a particular day, there
was to be a general rising. It would seem that
this was a mere stratagem to lull the attention of
the Magistracy in places of the greatest danger, till
• blow should be struck in the capital, which
might call forth the partisans of revolution in
distant parts into active exertion. Does riot this
seem to be confirmed by what has been lately
diecovered in this very neighbourhood ? The
preparations fur deeds of violeuce, it appears to be
ascertained, have fur sonic weeks pest been carried
on with iiscrea4A activity; and an opinion slow he-
gins to prevail, that offensive wealloos of different
kinds are in great ishuudance widely scattered
through the country; and are either hid in the
earth, or otherwise carefully concealed till they can
be employed for the destructive purposes for which
they have beets prepared.
" About mid.day of Saturday last the Magis.
trates of this city, with their Procurator Fiscal, and
other official Gentlemen, proceeded to Calton, with

A. the party es-arched the several plates the
military tiled off in divisions and remained in the
street, attended by a Magistrate, reedy to art in
the eveut of re.istanct, while the officers within were
proceeding with the search. The prisoners and ar.
tides found were takers to the Corirt.lsouse, escort.

CAPTION TO COUNTRY MAGISTRATES.
Mr. Davis, the pa-arnaster for the county of Middlesex, at-
tended at this office yesterday, to have some vagrant paws
signed by the Magistrates, to whom be stated that he had hers,
that day to Stepuey parish workhouse with a pauper, who
was regularly passed by the Magistrates of Wolverhampton,
io Staffordahire, where be was found begging, ornimitted as
• vagrant, and after the expiration of his seven Jays im-
prisonment, be was examined as to his parish, iu order to
be passed to his lawful place of implement.
The poor fellow (a sailor), told the Magistrates that he
bad no swish; that he was born at sea, and never obtained
a settlement, which was the fact. The Magistrates having
an absurd notion that all persons born 1t era had • legal
claim epos the parish of Stepney, passed him from Wolver-
hampton to London. Upon his arriving is Middlesex, be
(Mr. Davis), took him to Stepney, and the Overseers refused
to receive hiss. The parish of Stepney having determined
in future to proceed agaisst eases of the above description,
thought it right to give publicity to the following opinion
of tbe Court of King's Bench, iu order to prevent a recur-
rence of this ridiculous idea being meted upon by Magis-
trates. which has caused so muds trouble and expense to
the parish, and distress to the vagrants, from the great dis-
tance they are /regiment ly brought.

"CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

"Mr. Nolan applied for a criminal isforinatioir spinet
a Magistrate of Cheshire, fur having improperly removed •
vacraut front Stockport, is that county, to Stepotty, is Mid-
incite. It appeared that the vagrant, John Smith, having
applied to the Magistrate fur relief, he was asked to what
popish he be-Swaged/ to which be replied, ' be was biro at
pea, and bad *veer gained a settlenscut any where? Upon
receiving this information, the Magistrate immediately de-
rided that be belonged to Stepney, and proceeded to wend
bins to Stepney.
" Lord Eltenboroagls observed, that ' this was. great Alan.
eke us the part of the Magistrate; but it did not appear
to hart been done maliciously, and was nut a Subject fur a
criminal informatioa. The palish of Stepney might, if they
chose, indict him, or luring au action against him*."
After the above case was read, Mr. Davis said, it was •
hard thing on Ibis poor fellow, after being insprismeed, and
marched between one and two bombed smiles acmes the
kingdom, to be refused admission; he was thruvru on his
(Mr. Davis's) baud., and what was he to do with him ; be
could nut send him back, an be gave ►im a shilling and sent
him about his business. This pour fellow is liable to be
takes up sem, in tbor Iran parish be is finned begging, and
again committed, few leaving doe misfortune of being pour.

sod he west into the shop in pursuit of him, and met him
comiag oat with the tubes now produced, part of which had

Mr. Pretense observed, that it was extremely painful to
bias to see those mva who bad comment work amid good
wages, brought before hint on charges of robbing their em-
ployer, whose properly they were as duly bouud to prfitecl.
He would rather Mr. Edge would Isiah. this a graud larceuy
