REFUSAL OF FARTHINGS.--OD Tuesday Mr.
MARSHALL, an artist, made a complaint at Union-hall against
two of the toll-collectors on the Surrey side of Waterloo.
bridge, for refusing to receive farthings in payment of the
toll. Mr. Marshall said that on Monday last he had been
transacting business in the Borough-road, and about four
o'clock in the afternoon proceeded home, intending to pass over
Waterloo-bridge. On his arrival at the toll-gate he discovered
that all the small change he then had in h►s pocket was slit-
farthings, four of which constituting a penny, he tendered
to Grady, one of the gatherers, in payment of the toll, and
demanded to pass over the bridge. Grady refused to take
the farthings in payment, upon the ground that farthings
were not a legal ti►n:ler, and that he would therefore not
permit him to go through the gate till he gave him a penny.
Mr. Marshall assured him that he was without any other'
money, and stated as a reason why he happened to have so many
farthings about him, that he had saved them for his children
to play with, and did not present them for the purpose of
giving unnecessary trouble. Grady persisted in his refusal,
and Mr. Marshall was actually compelled to borrow a penny
at the Bridge Tavern before he could pass over. His
object in the present complaint was to cause Grady and
his assistant (Steel) to be summoned to show cause why they
refused to take the farthings. Mr. Marshall said, that should
the Magistrates be of opinion, on hearing the complaint, that
they had no jurisdiction, he should instantly apply to the At-
torney-General. The Magistrate said that the application was
of a novel description, and that it would be necessary to refer
to the Waterloo-bridge Act before he granted a summons.—
Upon a reference to the above statute, and also to the Mint
Act, a summons was granted.

DARING AND EXTENSIYE RounEttY.—Betwee,
seven and eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, the house of Mr.
Powell, the sign of the Freemasons' Arms, Suffolk-street, St.
Pancras, was robbed of about 250 sovereigns and a quantity of
halfpence. Mr. Powell was out on business in the evening, and
after his return home, having occasion to go to his bed-room,
he found he could not get in, it being fastened on the inside, so
that he was necessitated to get in at the window, it being
on the first floor, 'and looking into the yard ; the window,
which had been left a little up to admit air, was entirely
open ; on entering the room he discovered that the doer was
made fast with a large gimblet ; a cupboard in the room had
been forced open with a chissel, and the money taken away ;
nothing else was touched ; some silver table spoons that were
laid on a chest of drawe.'3 in the room were left. The drawers
had been forced open, and robbed of a sum of money, nhich
Mrs. Powell had for her own private use. The villahis, it is
supposed, were three or four in number ; a strange nian was for
three or four previous evenings drinking in the parlour, and
another in the tap-room, and on the evening in question both
went into the yard together, and left the house before the rob-
bery was discovered.
About eleven o'clock an last Tuesday night
(sth instant) some hay stacks, belonging to the Rev. Dr. LORD,
of Northiam, were discovered to be on fire, threatening the
entire destruction of a number of corn and straw stacks, barns,
lodges, &c. Art alarm was immediately given in the vil-
lage, when about two hundred of the inhabitants assembled,
who by prompt assistance, and the use of three garden engines
procured in the neighbourhood, succeeded in preventing the
further spread of the flames. A messenger was dispatched
to Rye, to apply for the use of the town engines, which
was immediately granted. and directions given for the
dispatch of two, which arrived at Northiam, a distance of
eight miles, in less than an hour afterwards, through the great
and praise-worthy activity of the men to whose care they were
committed. By the powerful aid of these two engines, and
the united efforts of all in attendance, the flames were at
length got under, and about nine o'clock on the following
morning wholly subdued. The damage is estimated at 3001.
So anxious were the neighbours of the Rev. Doctor to save
his property from the devouring element, that the women
even assisted in forwarding the water to the engines, which,
and the almost unexampled exertions -of his neighbours gene-
rally, the Rev. Gentleman appeared truly sensible of. The
fire, it is suspected, was the work of some incendiary.—

Some of the French papers are extremely in-
dignant at the mottos which certain Spanish
journals have adopted. The words ‘C Liberty,"
" Independence," " Sovereignty of the People,"
are so offensive to the eyes of the Ultras, that
they seem to think these inscriptions sufficient
cause of war.
A. correspondent informs us that the head of an
extensive manufactory at A therstone, who employs
several hundred workmen, has adopted a singular
expedient to compel them to attend his own
church, viz. by giving them tickets to be received
at the church door, and all who do not go and
worship at the same altar, are refused employ-
ment the following week.—(Leicester Chronicle)
