COURT OF REQUESTS.

KING SGATD•STREET, MONDAY..--.A ehimney-sweeper,
known well about Gray's Inn-lane as " Bandy Tom," was
summoned by another equally ill-looking member of the
same fraternity for the sum of 7s. 6d.
The case was heard before Mr. Sergeant HEATH.
How will you pay it? asked Mr. HEATH. Defendant--
I knows I bows it 'im, but I contends he karnt rekiver a
halfpenny on it, not in this here Court, nor not in no other
Court whatsomdever.—(Laughter.)
Indeed !be good enough to explain why.—lts only a
debt un onner—its a gamlin transhaction, and the Hact
says no money shan't be rekivered not wot's lost in gamlin.
—(Laughter.)
By what means was the money lost—at what game did
you play ?—Oh, arter we'd sifted the dust, and chucked all
the cinders out on it, we played mahap at blind hookey—or
in chance at cribbage, and so on, and sometimes we played
at azard.—(Laughter.)
Plaintiff—My Lord, this 'ear consarn has bin a goin on
now a matter of four 'ears. Bandy Tom has paid me all
his debts of 'onner, but this 'ear hidentical sum is for 'aid
money lent and the "bonus probendibus," lays on him to
diskiver vether its the debt of 'onner or the money I lent
him as he howes me.—(Considerable laughter.) I contends
its for money—reglar money lent bout of my pocket.
Defendant—Pon my 'onner—(Laughter)—its a gam-
blin transaction, and it will be in hopposition to Coe Mart
to make me pay—that's werry hobvious.
Mr. HEATH—You are both a very b;:niatit sample of
the modern " march of intellect," and as it seems to be a
shuffling transaction altogether, gr. Bandy Tom must be
good enough to pay the debt and costs in a month! You
hear that, &fondant!

Defendant—ln 'zcourse I does, and I computes it to your
unkommon bi:griorance of for (law).
The sooty lawyer was terribly exasperated by the deci-
sion, and a regular turn up took place at a short distance
from the Court, in which Bandy Tom beat his opponent.
" LOOK ON THIS PICTURE AND ON THIS !"—So said
Hainlet--and therefore it was very proper that a Mr. Eve-
ret, a journeyman shoemaker, should say likewise, on being
summoned for 15s. by a rude costermonger, named Evans,
for the cost of having painted on canvas (three feet by two),
regular oil colours, the interetting likeness of the defendant
Everet

Mr. COITIMISSiOUCt, Donors—Now, Mr. Everet, what's
your objection to this demand?
Defendant—(Produeinc, the portrait)--Now, gentlemen,
just look at this head—(Laughter)—and look and see if it's
at all like miern. [The portrait or head was in every re-
spect like the original—a sort of square pewter-headed
lump, with an enormous nose for the handle, and a mouth
like that of the renowned Peter Goff—always open!]

CommisstoNEß—Upon my word I think it's a very strik-
ing likeness, and very much after Sir Thomas Lawrence,l—.
(Laughter.) Pray, Mr. Evans (the plaintiff), how long
have you studied portrait painting ?
Plaintiff—Ever since I began to take in Cne Penny
Magazine—but my perticklcr line is miuiatur
(Laughter.) . e painting,--
Defer,d'aot—He's nothink but a costerinon,,,rer, and when
I ':rent to take my first sitting, he was selling cherries !
Plaintiff—l don't disown nothink of the
more to my credit ; some of the first vine a sort, and the
been in trouble, and why shouldn't I art "men have
?--(Laughter.)
CommissioNEft—Well, Mr. Artist,
suppose
,) Yott try and
touch up the painting to his (the defendant
3; taste. Make
alter the his nose a little less, and
him sit to you again.—Lati4o. 311'7e of his head--leta
head it is--(the defend. --er.) You see what sort of
a likeness of tb, ' - -.ant's head was somewhat between
le
. .... nead of El h.
and the square-headed Scy-
thian; 7acntioned in the Euterpe of Herodotus) ; dress it up
1
a 'bit, and on that condition shall award the 15s.
The defendant hereuponot
ofu
wrvoedrut up his "counterfeit pre-
sentment," and strutted out

KENSINGTON PETTY SESSIONS.

Yesterday, among numerous night charges brought be-
fore Messrs. Codd, Barlow, and Pilkington, the sitting
Magistrates, was a female of lady-like appearance, and
very showily dressed, about forty years of age, who was
charged with having made too copious libations to the jolly

God, and with having -been incapable of taking care of her-
self, or the poney which sbe was driving.
Police Constable Hammersley, T .53—Shortly after nine
o'clock, on -Sunday night, while on duty on the Kensing-
ton-road, saw a crowd of more than a hundred persons
near the gate leading to Hyde Park. On going to the
spot, he found the lady in question sitting in a poney-chaise,
so drunk that the persons round were holding her, to pre-
vent her falling out ; when, thinking the station-house
would, under th circumstances, be the best place for her.
he with assistance conveyed her there, and afterwards took
- the poney and chaise to the green-yard.
Inspector Black said, that when she recovered a little
she refused to give her name or address, but she had sub.
. sequently stated she resided in Bryanstsn-square,
In her defence, she said, that thinking a drive after dinner
would do her good, she ordered her chaise, and drove to
the house of a friend at Vauxhall, who being from home,
she did not alight, but drove to H.umersmitlt to another
friend's, who being likewise outt she was driving home, when
she was taken with a pain ;:a her side, which prevented liar
being able to drive fuwaler, She hail only drunk a tow
glasses of wine after dinner, and some brandy and water at
Hammersmith.
Mr. CODD—WiII you favour us with your ertme and
address ? Defendant—No, I must decline deir.g
the consequences be what they may. that, let
Mr. CODD—Ara you a married woman ?, Defendant--
Yes, I am.
Mr. CoDD—Have you any family ?, befendant—One
daughter, 18 years of age.
Mr. CODD—Why do you go ce:tt with a chaise alone
Defendant--I generally drive rr,r,eif.
- Mr. CODD—What is your, liusband ? Defendant—A
Captain in his Majesty's

foreign station.
Mr. CODD having conferred with his Colleagues, said,
that in considerationtlor her husband's feelings, who might
hear of her disgraceful conduct through, th papers, they
had come to the determination not to require her to state
her name.
She was then fined 55.. which she immediately paid, and,
curtseying to the Bench, quitted the office.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

A man named Charles Williams, who had very much the
appearance of a horse-dealer, was brought before the LORD
MAYOR, charged with having uttered a forged chock for
sixty guineas at the banking-house of Esdaile and Co.
After hearing evidence at some length, the LOAD MAYOR
asked the prisoner whether he had anything to say in an-
swer ? Prisoner—Yes, my Lord. I know nothing of the
check, except that I-was employed by a gentleman to get
it cashed at the banking-house, and to bring the amount to
him at Smithfield, and when I wer,t to do the job I was
stopped. That's all 1 know about. the matter.
The LORD MAYOR—I shall c'Jnitiiit you for trial.
The witnesses were then bound over to appear against
the prisoner, who was taken, away by the officer who ap-
prehended him.
A cab having been called for by the officer, who put
handcuffs on the prisoner the moment his commitment was
made out, it was supposed no difficulty would be encoun-
tered between the Mansion-house and the Compter, This,
however, happened to he a mistake. The prisoner was an
active young man, and upon getting into the ei.lb on the
one side, sprUng out of it on the other, and ran off as
swiftly as his •manacles would permit him. They cry of
" Stop thief," however, soon had the intended effect, and
the prisvier was sent double guarded to tl.e Compter.

MARLBOROU GILSrREET.
ASSAULT.--Mr. Abraham Her,.p.-y and M. Jonathan
Wicks, a couple of fat and comfortable looking personages,
• came before Mr. DYER and Me, HALL, the first as com-
plainant, and the last as defen.3'ant, on a charge of assault.
Mr. Heapy, it appearci,°
was walking peaceably past
Mr. Wicks's house at thc, time when 111 r. VV. was standing
at the door, talking to come of his neighbours. Mr. Wicks
observing him, before he could get out of ear-shot, in a
stage whisper to one of his friends, expressed the satisfac-
tion it would sive him, if an opportunity occurred, of
" punching somokiody's jolterhead." Mr. Heapy, whose
head was cert7.lnlv none of the smallest, told the Magistrate
that he had 'no difficulty in appropriating the threat ; but,
as he wir, determined to do nothing which might cause a
breach of the peace, be magnanimously resolved not to
n'Jtite it. He had not proceeded a dozen paces, however,
briore he found his fifth rib suddenly invaded by the elbow
of Mr. Wicks, and had it not been for the protection, of six
inches of sheer fat in that part, such was the molrientum
with which he was sent against the railings, that something
serious would have ensued. " This," said Mr. Heapy, "is
my case, constituting, as I think you must admit, one of the
most outrageous and unprovoked attacks on the liberty of
the subject which ever came under your Warship's juris-
prudence."

Mr. DYER.—Did you use your hands against thn de-
fendant? .My hands (said the complainant, thrusting- both
up to the elbows into his breeches pockets) were in the
situation now presented to your Worship's notice.
Defendant—lf Mr. Heapy hadn't caned me the day be-
fore, I shouldn't have taken any notice of him. It all
pro-
ceeds from an old grudge, three years ago, when I was
obliged to summon him for 30s.

Mr. Heapy turned sharply round, clenched both fists,
but said nothing.
Defendant.—What business has he to insult me as he
does ? Every evening he walks up and down in his shirt
sleeves, smoking his pipe, just as if he was on guard. I
must get a sentry-box made for 'Jim.
Mr. Heapy here knit his briws, and knocked both fists
on the table.

Defendant—lt's not mare than a twelvemonth since Mr.
Heapy went out of town—as he said ; but he didn't go
further than just over the water (nodding to the Magistrate,
and pointing over hishAt shoulder), only to see his friends ;
and what is remarkable, he was only gone six weeks.
Mr. Ewma—Now, never mind such matters, they can
have rothing to do with the present charge.
Mr. Heapy, whose " steam" had evidently got up to
" high-pressure," here opened a safety valve—l die.in't want
to proceed to extremities, your Worships (said he) ; but
now I'll go as far as the law allows me.
Mr. DWYEU—WeII, the assault appears of so trivial a
nature that we discharge the warrant. You may carry
yonr complaint to the Sessions if you please.
Mr. Heapy looked petrified, snatcncd up his hat, and
made his way out of the office, muttering " Out of pocket
four bob!"

MAR YLEB ONE.
ANS " MUltDEß."—Yesterday Timothy Sullivan, a
net,: iy-arrived Patlander, full of the brogue, bustled forward.
and presented himself before the sitting Magistrate, Mr.
RAWLINSON.

Mr. RAWLINSON—WeII, what is it you want ?
Tim (scratching his head)--A pace warrant, your Ho-
nour, againit that great big blackguard Ned Carney.
Who is this big blackguard, as yott call him ?—Why an
Irishman, like meself, to be sure ; but why should your
Honour be after asking the sawn question ? Now didn't
your Honour have him here., and bail him a short time
since, for murdering a man, Cato-street?

Really I have not had t'lle honour of bailing such a man;
but what has lie done bow ?—Why kilt me to be sure, and
knocked me to ator:a.
Killed you, and knocked you to atoms. Why here you
are alive and weil.—l'll tell your Honour how it all hap-
pened. I was walking quietly into me lodgings in Cato-
street, on Sunday morning, when Ned Carney comes slyly
behind me, and with a clink on the ear lays my head clane
in the dirty gutter. I cried out " Ned, don't be after mur-
dering of me ;" but he kept on bating and jumping on me
till the breath was clane gone, and when I was fairly kilt,
lie walked away away coolly with. 'his hands in the pocket
of his brogues. As soon as ilad recovered my wind, I
gets up, and tells the big blackguard that I will pull him
before his betters at this bffice. " Oh, will you," says he ;
" but by the powers, you will find I've made it all right
there. Misther Il7..wlinson, the principal Magistrate, is
my friend : and when I bate Pat Murphy, a short time
ago, didn't hi!, Honour become bail for me keeping the pace
now ?"

RAWLINSON smiled at the story, and granted the
Warrant, upon which Tim left the office in high spirit.

BURKE'S HISTORY OF THE LANDED GI:NTRY.
—The Thirteenth Part of this important 'work is an-
nounced to appear with the Magazines, nn the Ist of No-
vember. It is to be completed in three more Parts, which
will be published in quick suecession, and will, when com-
plete, comprise a Biographicaltn and Genealogical Ac-
count of all the Eminent laik
es in the United Kingdom,
and of upwards of One HunO.red Thousand Individuals con-
nected with them. Tbti mass of intelligence here commu-
nicated, as to the property, connexions, interest, public ser•
vices, or other characteristics belonging to the individual&
who form our gentry, must render the history highly ac-
ceptable to every member of that class, for whose use and
benefit it has been compiled. It is, indeed, a national work.
During the late illuminations at Prague a loyal citi-
zen exhibited over his shop-door a grand transparency in.
honour of the Emperor, with the motto attached tort ,
" May the Emperor live a hundred years ;" but unfortm
na tely the canvass did not cover the whole front, and imme,
diately underneath these words were seen " without any
abatement," the significant assurance of no second price
being taken at that warehouse. The mob enjoyed the joke,
and when one party cried out " May the Kaiser live a hun-
dred years," another was certain to exclaim, " Yes, and.
without any abatement,"

PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE :
Charles Davison, Esq. I Lieut.-Colonel Morrison.
Henry G. Goldney, Esq. W. G. Morris, Esq.
With power to add to their number.
The advantages that this county has for the introduction of Cot-
ton -Ardis, when the present seat of its locality is daily showing the
want of means adequate to its growing prosperity, has induced the
formation of the present Company.
The towns of Rickmansworth, Watford, Hemel Hempstead,
Berkhampstea'd, and others, are well situated, being on the verge
of the Grand J,onction Canal, the Birmingham Railway, and from
the plentiful supp.l.v of good water, for the purposes of steam power
in the thoroughfore to the seat of manufacture, Manchester, and
also to London, this county must, at no distant period, become the
Manchester of the South of England ; ,the population are now very
badly employed, particui.arly the youthful portion, who are more
easily initiated, and better 'dapted for the Cotton Trade.
The object of this Company, is to establish Mills for the purpose
,of Spinning Cotton Twist and Yarn, for the manufacture of sheet-
in,ts and calicoes by steam power.
rThe Company will have the advantage of the latest improve-
ments in machinery, which of itself is of vast importance over
many of the old mills.
An Act of Parliament will be applied for to establish this Com-
pany under the title of the Hertfordshire Cotton Mill Company,
and Ihniting the liability of each Subscriber, to his respective
shares, aftd authorizing the Directors to increase their capital,
should they deem fit to do so, and to take advantage of other eligible
situations in other counties south of the Trent.
The Comvany will be conducted by a Board of Directors, and a
Superintendanl and Manager, who is to be the present projector.
A Deposit of Five Shillings per share to be paid on the shares
being allotted, the residue in such portions and at such periods as
the Directors shall thiuk fit ; no call to exceed Ten Shillings per
share, of which publi:t notice shall be given of at least twenty-one
days, and should any suoh call remain unpaid at that period, the
Company shall have the power of declaring them forfeited, and
applying the proceeds to tl;oir funds.
To those not acquainted with the Cotton Trade, it is from official
returns shown that the consun:Ption of raw cotton in 1820, was
125,6443,000 pounds ; and in 18,72 it had swelled to 259,980,000
pounds. It is still increasing, and vory large fortunes are still being
made by it.

Bond-street, Bath ; Mr. James Harrison, 95, New-street, Bir-

OUR. Friends, and all those who may have to write
to us, are requested to be particular in directing,
HETNE BROTHERS, in HAMBURG,
and ,o observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage
only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
lot., 20L,. or 30/., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng-
land Note would only cause double Postage, but 10/. remitted in
two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham-
burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive
Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when-
ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England,
surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may
rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London.
To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our
Correspondents not to overlook these particulars.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, 1836,

The whole of the Paris Pavers of Sunday have
been received. They contain some rather interesting
accounts of the discussions in the Swiss Electoral
Assemblies of the different Cantons on the affair of
the spy CONSEIL. On the 11th inst., the Electoral
Assembly of Neufchatel adopted the draft of the
instructions to be given to its Deputy for his guidance
in the Diet. These instructions were drawn up by
the Council of State, and were to the effect, that the
Canton of Neufchatel, adhering to the former vote of
its Deputy, is of opinion that France has a right to
demand and receive satisfaction, according to the
established international customs, and in consideration
of the old relations of friendship existing between
France and Switzerland. When these instructions
'were put to the vote, they were carried by a majority of
sixty-six votes against nine. A motion for submitting
the question at issue to the arbitration of England was
only supported by five votes. The Assembly of the
Canton of Berne has also declared itself in favour of
conceding something to the demands of France. With-
out going to so great a length as the canton of Neuf-
chatel, it empowers the deputies to support concilia-
tory measures. The eanton of Vr;:burg has declared
itself against all concession. In its instructions to its
deputies it authorizes them to call upon the Diet to
repel with energy and dignity the imputations cast
upon the Swiss Confederacy in the note addressed to
the Directory by the Duke of AIosTEnELLO ; to de-
clare that Switzerland, throughout the affair of CoNv-
sEIL acted as became an independent State, and that as
no offence was given, or meant to be given, to France.
the friendly intercourse between the two countries
ought to be renewed ; and above all that sooner than
stoop to mean dishonourable concessions, the Diet
will trust to the patriotism of the peopie for the main-
tenance of the dignity of the Republic.
But whatever language particular States may hold,
the prevailing opinion is, that no hostilities will take
place between France and Switzerland. The shadow
of concession will satisfy the French Government,
ashamed, as it may well be, of its blundering diplo-
macy. This concession the majority of the Diet will
make, now that the Republic has exposed the machi-
nations of the French Ambassador, and sufficiently
',proved to France herself tLat the Swiss know how to
defend their liberties.
In the meantime the blockade of Switzerland is
timorously enforced.
The accounts from Spain, published in the French
Journals, are favourable to the Constitutional cause.
f(1-074Ez and SANZ are flying before the QUEEN'S

Generals.
The Gazette du Midi has the following observations
on ti. xe mercantile state of France :
The ' commercial embarrassment felt in London, and by
reboun, I in Paris, seems to extend its influence even to
Marsaill 'es. Considerable difficulty has been experienced
in the pa, yments for the end of September, and consequently
a depressi Qn in the rates of exchange. Our information
