THE COAL TRADE.—TWO of the Harbour-masters waited
upon the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of informing his Lord-
ships that the captains of several of the coal vessels now in
the lower sections would not comply with the bye-laws which
had been made for the regulation of the river, and that the
coal-merchants had the strongest objection to the mode
adopted to keep the pool in a proper coefition.
The LORD MAYOR—Do not en any account pay regard to
the feelings or suggestins of the coal-merchants, but enforce
the regulations. and if you find any impediment make a
complaint. and we shall see whether a remedy cannot be
applier!.. I suppose the monopolists are feeling the effects of
(;,,r exertions. If our bye-laws are not able to meet their ob-
jections, we must as speedily as possible amend them. I shall,
if it be necessary, summon a Court of Common Council to
consider the subject,- and the trade will not find it to their ad-
vantage to oppose our regulations, for we will see if we cannot
manage to place a narrower limit to the time for remaining in
the pool than the existing bye-laws allow. Name some ves-
sel which has disobeyed your orders to remove from a section
into the pool.
The Harbour-master sail that the captain of the Elizabeth
had five days ago received the order to go into the pool, but
refused.

The LORD MAYOR—That will do, Proceed against him at
once in the Thames Police-office for a conviction. If the
bye-Jaws do not bear us out, I shall summon a Court of
CommcLit Council. Let the proceedings be adopted without
delay. It is of the utmost public importance, and will not ad.
mit of hesitation.

The Harbour-masters immediately left tho Mansion• Houso
to carry his Lordship's order into execution.
The coal-trade is in a state of the greatest agitation.
A young woman, named Burman, servant to Mr. Garland,
who keeps a spirit shop at No. 26, Billiter-street, was com-
mitted for trial at the Central Criminal Court for concealing
the birth of her infant.

A labouring man named Joseph Barber, was ordered to
find bail for an atrocious assault upon a child, the daughter of
the foreman of a wharf, who, by employing him kept him out
of the workhouse. It was with difficulty the poor father kept
his hands off the ungrateful and dissolute wretch, who WAS
committed in default of bail.

GUILDHALL.
A lad named Baxter was brought before Mr. Alderman
LAINSON, charged with robbing his employer, Mr. David
Nunez Carvalho, a bookseller, in Fleet-street.
The prisoner declined offering any defence,l and was re-
manded, to give the officer time to make further inquiry.

BOW-STREET.
CRAW)! OP THREATBNING TO STAB.—A person of gentle-
manly exterior, apparently about fifty years of age, who gave
his name William John .Hemsworth, and stated that be re-
sided at No. 3, Dorset-place, Pall-mall East, was placed at
the bar before Mr. MIN/MULL, charged with having threatened
to stab Arthur Leete, a wine-cooper and dairyman, living at
No. 4, Wilson-street, Drury-lane, on the previous evening.
After the charge had been stated by the complainant,
The defendant said that he was a half-pay officer in the army.
He had served in the Peninsular wars, and had there been se-
verely wounded. For one of tke wounds which he had re-
ceived he enjoyed a pension of 701. a year, independent of his
pay. He had been drinking on the previous evening, and
supposed that his violent conduct must have proceeded from
that circumstance.

Mr. Mirisuum. said that the case was of such a nature as
to call upon him to require the defendant to put in bail, him-
self in 50/., and two sureties in 251. each. He could not
countenance the carrying about of weapons of so dangerous a
character as that found upon the defendant in London, how.
ever necessary or useful they might be in foreign countries.

MARYLEBOIVE.
Count Felix Charles de Real, a French Nobleman, ac-
companied by his wife and several friends, made the fol-
lowing extraordinary statement to the Magistrates, asking
their assistance. His parents had emigrated during the
French Revolution, and his father had been for some
time dead, and his mother bad remained in England.
About four months since he received a letter from her, re-
questing him to come to her, and remove her to her native
country, as she felt at her great age, she being 86 years old,
that she had not long to live. The Count immediately ac-
ceded to his mother's wishes, and, on his arriving in London,
proceeded to the house of a French Roman Catholic Priest, in
Pratt-street, Camden Town, where she was residing ; but,
on applying to see her, the Priest denied that she was there.
On persisting in his applications, M. de Real found that the
Priest had removed the Countess to a house in York-street,
Bryanston-square, where they detained her, and would net
permit her to be seen by any person ; she was possessed of a
large property, and be bad not a doubt but they wanted to se-
cure it to themselves by means of their unjust influence
over her.

The MAGISTRATI said that the Count must apply to the
Judges for a writ of habeas corpus, as he had not the power of
assisting him.

M. de Real retired, expressing his surprise that England
should not afford the same redress against priestly interference
that could be obtained from the police in France.

HATTON-GARDEN.

MATRIMONIAL FELICITT._A lady named Brochwell, Hying
in Bloomsbury-square, was charged with assaulting her hus-
band and threatening his life.
The unfortunate complainant detailed is troubles at some
length ; and it appeared that he had put up with abuse from
his better half nearly 20 years rather than expose her to the
world.

The defendant, who treated the affair with much indifference,
was committed to prison in default of the requisite sureties.

THAMES OFFICE.

THE PAUPER SHIP.—On Friday, Mr. Nicholson, assistant
overseer of St Margaret's and St. John's, Westminster, and
Atrell, constable of the Strand Union, attended to complain
of the condition of the vessel moored close to the office at
Wapping for thepurpose of receiving Scotch and Irish paupers,
as also of the immorality of suffering men, women, and children
to herd and sleep together in one dirty cabin without the
least separation, &c., &c.
The Magistrate said that he had no jurisdiction in the case
whatever, but recommended Mr. Nicholson to go to the Ses-
sions where the Magistrates issue regulations for the removal of
Irish and Scotch paupers.
Evans, the principal surveyor of the Thames police, was
directed to go on board and ascertain the state of the case.
On Saturday Evans made his report on the subject to the
sitting Magistrates, Messrs Broderip and Greenwood. He
stated that on going over the ship he found that she had on
board as many as thirty-seven Irish and three Scotch paupers,
all of whom were stowed away in the hold. He thin went
on to say that there was no partition to divide the men from
the women, and that the hold where they slept was a confined
and dirty place. They had nothing but straw to lie upon, and
it was renewed only with every fresh supply of paupers.
Those on board on Friday evening had been shipped off to
Ireland and Scotland that morning, and a fresh styply of straw
taken in.

The Magistrates directed that a full report of the state of
the ship, the manner in which the unfortunate Irish and
Scotch paupers are treated, the " dietary tables," &c., should
be embodied, with the statements of Messrs. Nicholson and
Atrell, and immediately forwarded to the Clerk of the Peace
for Middlesex and the Poor-law Commissioners, Mr. Green-
wood observing that a remedy was called for.
