MANS o t,i-HousE. —Y esterday Lawrence Lore,, a
true tilaure Of an Engiish Jack Tar, catne.he'fore the
Alderman presiding for die Lord Mayor, to ask, as he
termed it, " ailittle bit oti advice.". He said he had
been on t'ie East India Station, and assisted. in taking
several prizes there. Ills share of the prize. ploney
-amounted tos6mething abOut 68F. and when he came
home to England., he accordingly went to Mr. Jack-
son, the Prize Agent, but was told by" him that he
never would. get a farthing-- of his :money unless he
went off to Madras, and applied at the of ice of Mess.
Chase and Co: the Prize Agents in India. He said
he thoUght this was a very shabby kind of an answer;
but 'after lie had spent, about-a thousand guineas, all:
his own money, he thought it was dine to go to sea
again and earn more. He accordingly entered on
board an East Indianian, and went, to Bombay; when
he got there the ship he was in was fitted-out by the
Company as a sixty-four; and be went on a cruize in
her, and took some more prizes. Be then went on
a `vOyage to China, and on his return to Bombay, an
English man-of-War hauled down the Company's
pendant, and impressed eighteen of the crew, one of
which he Was. By this chance, however; he got to
Madras,,and went to the office olMe.ssrs. Chase and.
'Co. and asked for his money. They told him they
had paid it some time back, but refused to shew
any vouchers ; and when. he swore to them that he
had not given authority to any person to receive his
money for him, they laughed at him, and desired hith
to go to England and apply to Mr. Jackson if he
wanted justice. 1 On his return to England,he went
to Mr. Zickson's office, but was inforMed there, that
hd was returned to diem as paid ; and all he wanted:
to k-now was, whther, if the. Agent paid his money
to another man, without his authority, he Was to be
at the loss ?,

A. Gentleman from Mr. Jackson'S Office attended;
and informed the Alderman, that in the list ;they
got from India, this man was returned to them as
paid ; and they, therefore, could pot with proprivy
pay him the amount of his demand. ' Mr. Jackson,
however, would write to India, and inqUire into the
business, and he had- no doubt would be able to get
a copy -of the authority under which the money was
paid. • .•

Love here exclaimed, ".Please your Honour, that's
all Stuff, he only wants to put me. off for a couple
of years more; but it's right I should have my,own ;
I've got many a scar tbr it; and, to tell your Elopour
the truth, the whole set of Prize Agents are .a set
of r----g t-s."
. .

. . . .
The Alderman said, be could not possibly do a,ny
thing for him ; it was stated 'that he was returned
by Messrs. Chase and co. as paid, and if he gave
no pdwer to any :person to receive his money, the
Agents, no doubt, were still liable, even though they
were iMposed upon _,by- a forged order. 'Of .this,
however, the Alderman said he could not. take cog-
nizance) and the only thing the sailor-could-do, was
to apply to an Attorney, who would • instil:lft him
how to proceed.
A 'Journeyman 'Poker was brought before 'the
presiding Magistrate, charged .by his employer, a
-Master Baker, of Bishopsgate-street, with raising a
mob befozle his house, at mid-day, on Sunday. last,
and uttering the most opprobrious abuse of himself
and his charkiter, which obliged the. Baker to give
him in charge to a Peace Officer,
'The Delefidant, in his vindication, recriminated

upon his master, ,whom he. charged with extorting
from him au exorbitant price for ail, old-basket and
its contents, being seven loaves, which were stolen
from him on his rounds to his master's customers,
last week ; also with abusing. him, threatening to
and trulb.him out of 11 la service instantly, with-
oitt the customary condition of a week's warning or a
week's wages. In addition, he proceeded, 'with much
Ilippancy, to

" Disclose the secrets of the baking-house."
and charged his master 'not only with using large
quantities of allum in his bread, but With Making
very 'copious. extra&s from the pies and puddings
of his neighbours, sent to him to be baked on Sun-
days, and compiling them intq luxuries for his own
family; 'and also with deduairig steaks, cutlets,
mutton,
and chops from the pieCes of beef, veal, and
and the fat from all- geese . sent to him for the like
purpose..

- The Magistrate, hoivever; not chusing to admit
recrimination, even if it were true, as a plea of de-
fence, gave this refra&ory Journeyman his choice;
whether.he should be sent to Newgate to answer
for his riotous condua, or faithfully proinisemever
to repeat his offence. He chose the latter condi-
tion, and was disOlarged.

GUILDI7ALL. --=• Yesterday IVnt. rornterry was
charged before the Sitting Altierman, with riotous
and disorderly condUet in the Meet Prison:
In support of this charge, Mr.-Nixon, theWardeti
of the Fleet, stated, that the Prisoner, with others,
being discharged., under the InsolVent Aet, on sa,
turday last, at the Guildhall SeSsions", reque.sted
him to allow them, to remain in the Fleet for a few
daVS, until they could provide themselves with
lodgings elsewhere. He accordingly consented/i but
many of them, instead of conducting themselves
with propriety, got intokicated, and raisinga riot
in the Prison, broke` all the - windoWs, within their
reach. Mr. Thornberry, and a person who was still
a Prisoner in the Elect,' appearing to be the ring-.
leaders, he putihe latter into the strong-room ;but,
Conceiving he had no juriAie-tion- over Mr. Thorn
berry; he sent hint to the Cotnpter: • .
The 'Defendant said, he was,extremely sorry for
what had Iken done, and would willingly contribute
his share to compensate the Prisoners for: the da-
Mage they had sustained, by 'having their windows
broken, &c.

The Alderman observed on the 'ungrateful return
whial had been made to Mr. Nixon for his hiuna-
nay) but, in consideration of the sorroW expressed
by the Prisoner for what had happened, he con-
sented that he Should be discharged, on }naking good
the damage to the Warden:

UstoN-ITALL.---XeSterday three women of , the
'to,kii were brought ,before •tbe Magistrates of this:.
Cilke 'fat' examination,, and a report immediately
prevailed that they- were'ome of the persons con-
cerned in the late atrocious ,murder of
womari, mentioned in our Paper•of.yesterday). 'fife

crowd increased 'to an_ alarming degree, and the
'Vice Officers ende-avoured ,to disperse them, .blit
in %-ain. The doors of the Office were obliged td be
shut, which still strengthened the report; and it
wasgenerally understood to be -a inivate examina-:
tion ; ..but it turned out that thuse women rid been
taken up merely' for rioting and drunkenness -the
night before. They were committed to the 'County
Gaol as vagrants,. -

MARLl3o,2:otron-STRtET.—Yesterday a Gentleman
of the name of iheilows, an Officer in the Army,
was charged by Thomas Walley-, toll-taker at Ty-
burn Turnpike, with an assault. The following are
the circumstances of the case : ,

Mr. Burrows ,went -through the turnpike in the
morning, With a lady in a gig, accompanied by a
friend, and one Of his sons on horseback. On 'the
return of the party- in the evening, the youth, who
was in possession' of the tickets, rode on to prevent
a delay at the gate, and delivered the free tickets-;.
but after he had gone through, the codplainant re-
fused to admit the vehicle to proceed without paying
the toll a second time, alledging, that the tickets
cleared the young man only ; 'Mr. Burrows offered
to put up with the imposition for the moment rather
than be detained; but he -requested to go into the
toll-house, and become- acquainted with the. names
of the toll-takers on duty. In doing so, he was
assaulted by the complainant and his companions,,
who tore dowh the names ; but. Mr. Burrows,
being a resolute man) and very capable of taking
his own 'part, chastised the insoletice of the toil-
taker, by -giving him a good drubbing: • It was
clearly proved, that the Complainant first assaulted
Mr. BurroWs,' and he was held to bail for the of-
fence. •

The, French Chapel in , King-street, Portrna&
square, -had been kir several days past under prepara-
tion for the Grand Dirge, •performed yesterday, in
commemoration of Louis. XVI. Two•hundrod and
fiftytickets of admission were issued (none' but the
French: Nobility, and a few English Catholic Noble-
men were admitted) ; the Chapel, which was hung
wilh,lilack, and lighted. with wax tapers, • had a so-
lemn and grand effea. In addition to the usual
ornaments or the altar on those occasions, :were the
insignias of the Order of the late unfortmiate Louts::
During high mass a grand dirge was performed, af-
ter which an oration was delivered in French, in -a
very pathetic manner. ' Among those present on
each side of the altar were, Duke DEBERRI, Duke
DE MONTPENSIER, Prince DE CONDE, Duke D'Oli••
LE \NS, Count BEAUJOLAIS, Count DE PULLY,,DUkC
and DuChess in CASTRIES, Baroness DE BAYES,
Marquis 'DE TOURNEOUH, CQUnCeSS DE GONTAUT,
Count DE CHAUMONT, Duke DE CAIGNY, Duke DE
BOUM/30N, Marquis DE MIRAN, SZ.C.
On Monday se'nnight THOMAS_ JOYES, a fine
young man, df Hull, about sixteen or seventeen years
of age, son of Mr. JOY ES, harbour-master, stripped,
upon the North Hurriber-bankss with an intention of
bathing in the river. On reachin,sc.the water, he
walked leisurely, in, until it reached his, middle,
when he stood for about a minute, and then, ex-
claiming to his companion on the bank, « Oh, my
bead 1" fell down into, the water. With the assist-
ance of some Gentlemen, who were passing, he was
immediately taken out,, and gave a slight groan, but
no other signs of life ret,iained; and all attempts to
restore him proved.incii`eaual. Previous to enter-
ing the water, he was 'rather heated by exercise,
which is supposed to have been the occasion of his
death.

A few days since a most distressincr circumstance
happened at the house of J. TuttztN:Esq. at Taun-
ton. The son, a'young Gentleman about 17, had
fired off one of the barrels of a double-barreA gim ;
after which he mturned to the house, and, thought-
less of the other being loaded, it accidentally went
Off, and the contents lodged in the arm and side of
an
atfcalunate sister, a most amiable yoang Lady,
about 19. The most able assistance was immedi-
ately procured, and great hopes were entertained
that-the wounds were not mortal, but in a few hours
they were thought dangerous, it being apprehended
part of the contents had reached the liver; she lan-
,guished about 24 hours, when she inOst calmly re-
signed this life in hopes of a better; She was uni-
versally beloved, respeEted, andlamstited.
