Sun ey, calm oil to be heard before a Bench of Magistratts,

The conviction took place under. the Bread Act, which
imposes a pi natty of '2Ol. upon any baker on *hose vre-
ir.i,es should be found sielb,nited ilium or any other peruicious

search, and, upon bring slit wn the nuthority, declared that
he had no stud of the kind. The constable followed hint up

IN QuEsT.—Tuesday as Inquest was held at the Black
Swan, in Rider's-court, Cranbourn-street, Leicester-
fields, on the body of Mr. W. Bowers, of No. 4, Earl'S-
court, CratiliouripstreeLleatherseller, a person of some
property. It appeared that the decease.: had been for
years deranged to his intellects, and that his appetite was
%onerous, as if he had been starved. Soure of the
depositions accused. the wile of the deceased with
personally ill.treating him. Tor Coroner remarked,.
that he tierce received evidence more contradictory.
The Foreman of the Jury said, that the deceased was,
as the Jury had observed, a perfect skeleton; and he
was afflicted with Ito bodily disease, though his mental
Capacity was disordered. Die (Aflutter summed up the
eviiietwe, and remarked upon various parts of it, and the
Jury retired lhr near an hour, when they returned the
Inflow ing special verdict The deceased departed this
life on the I•lah January instant, in a natural way, but
his death was, in the opinion of the Jury, accelerate
by culpable neglect."
A shocking circumstance occurred on Monday after-
noon in Augel-sure:, Manchester. Au Irishman, who
resided in the neighbourhood, went out of hie house
with a. loaded pistol, saying be was deiei mined to shoot
some one ratline he roomed. In Angel-street, a woman..
was looking du ungli an up stair window , lie deliberately
took aim Si her, and lodged the foments of his pistol in
the head of the onfor outlaw woman. She did tiot live fist':
()ii the Police ()theirs arriving. he surren-
dered himself without any resistance, and is now iu the
New Baiwy. The Coroner will sit to-morrow. No ino
tier hiss beau stated for this inhuman murder,
DESTRUCTIvE Rite.—Uri Monday a fire broke out
at Manor-llouse, six miles from Epping, the residence
of J. Talbot, Esq. It appeals that the tire must
hate broken out in the laundry, situate in one of die
ings of the mansion, as it was consultiLd before an
alarm was given. 'l'm family had a eery narrow escape,
and from the severity of the weather, there was a great
wait of water, and also of habits, firms the time it broke
otit.—The house had risen fitted up in the most costly
stainer, with an elegant library, and not a stick or a
bock Was saVed. The whole was a heap of ruins within
two houri, mid the insurance we understand to have
been very trilling. A. plumy lad, who slept user the-
laundry, was dangerously burnt.
Wednesday last, before the board of Excise, a respect
able Tobacconist was fined in. the mitigated penalty of
40s. for having sonic segars and tobacco on his premises
not entered ; and the goods were also adjudged to he
fin felted. Tne defence was, that the delentlant had
lately removed, and the goods were placed up stairs
unknown to him, in the hurry of loUshie,s.—Two per-
sons Were fiutd for having ituitatne pepper in their pos-
session, who.nlearled ignorance. It would be highly
beneficial to the public if the Board of Excise could
discover the manufacturers of this. spurious article, 33
they deserve the severe t punishment the Board could
inflict, as many grocers have no tomtit purchased dila
imitative pepper conceiving it to be genuine.
A requisition to the Mayor of Newcastle for a meeti
ing in favour of Parliamentry Refi to the extent of
Mr. Laimbion's motion is in course of sornature, and will
be preseuted in a day or two. It already contains a
number of most respectable names. From the general
feeling of the town, there can be no doubt but that a,
itwetiog fin suet' a reform will be very numerously at-
tended We hear that district petitions for reform are
in continuplutinn ;11 the counties. of Northumberland.
and Durham.

It is calculated that a person has 1500 oppor-
tunitins of leaving London in the course of the
twenty-four hours, by stage coaches, including the
repeated trips of the couches, which ply the short
distances. It is understood, that about COS stage
coaches pass through Hyde t'ark Corner daily.—
There are about tarty Brighton coaches. There
are eighty-four coaches belongimg to Birmingham,
of which forty are daily . to Chester nineteen, of
which sixteen are daily; to Manchester seventy,
of which fifty-four are daily. In the year 1770
there belonged only two stage coaches to Man.

OF MAN."
(Fron. the Freeman's Joarnal.)
About five and twenty years ago the following
apologue appeared in our paper; and the present
seems no inopportune moment fur its re-insertion.
When the lifeless remains of the wild Reformist are
brought forth from their obscurity, we may with
some propriety evoke the sober spirit by which his
• extravagance was encountered. We trust we shall
be pardoned fur observing, that what we are about
-to re-insert was, soon after its appearance, known to
have come from toe pen of Baron Smith—a-state-
.rnent which we would not make, if we thought this
effusion of 'his youth calculated to detract from the
reputation of his manner age. But such is not our
opinion; anti we are moreover pleased at discovering
in this sportive production„ one of the many proofs
which tt:,• to bi• found, that the friend of coustitu.
tionul fr;:csl,-il not only may be, but is most likely
.to be, the strong advocate of subordination and of

.social order :
