UNION HILL-(THIS DAY.)

Thomas Mayhew, a respectable looking man, was br aught before
Mr. TRAIL this morning, charged 6y Mr. Poile, a pawnbroker, in Park_
street, Borough, with having raised a disturbance, and caused a great
concourse of persons to collect round his shop. From the statements of
the complainant, it appeared that nearly two .)ears.aga Mayhew had
pledged several table sat Isis shop for four or five pounds. Upon the ex-
piration of the twelve months, Mayhew called upon the complainant, and
requested him to keep the articles for two or three months, as he
should then be enabled to redeem them. This Mr. Poile consented
to do. At the expiration of four months, Mayhew not having performed
his promise of redeeming the property Mr. Poile sold it. A few even._
ings ago the defendant .called at the shop of the complainant, and re.:
quested to see the goods; the latter observed to hint that he thought
they had beau sold, but if he would call again in the morning he should
know whether they were or not, as he did not like any person to go into
his warehouse at night, for fear any accident might occur from fire
Search was made next day, when it was discovered the goods were sold,
and information to that effect was given to the defendant, who, not being
satisfied, came this morning to the complainant's shop, where, accord.
ing to the phrase of the latter, he had " blazed up," and caused a great
concourse of people round his shop, for doing which, after repeatedly re-
questing him to desist, he gave him into custody.
Mr. TRIAL asked the defendant what he had to say to the charge.

Mr. Mayhew, who is blind, said that lie had been compelled to pledge
the articles in question upon the death of his wife, who died of the
cholera; upon the twelve months expiring, the complainant had pro-
mised to keep them fur him, until he could redeem them.
Mr. Poile denied that he had made any such promise; he had kept
them for hint for Four mouths, which he thought quite long enough.
Mr. TRAIL said that he would discharge the defendant in the present
instance, but if he repeated his offence again lie should be obliged to
punish him. If he thought that Mr. Puile had acted illegally, he must
adopt legal means to obtain redress, but he would not suffer him to
raise disturbances either at Mr. Puile's house or in the street.
The defendant said that there was property of value in the table
drawer, and wished to know whether the Magistrate would not grant
him a summons against the complainant.
Mr. TRAIL said that he had not :he power, as the defendant by allow.
big the time prescribed by law to (lapse had barred himself of all remedy.
The defendant was then discharged, complaining of the ill treatment
which he considered himself to have received.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

RonaEav BY A SERV A NT.—.arah Keys was charged with stealing a
5/. note from her mistress, Miss Susan Flemington, of Edward Terrac?,
Pentonville.

It appeared that on Friday, the 29th of last month, the prosecutrix
sent the prisoner, who was a servant of al' work to her, to get change
fur a 51. note in the neat shop, but she never got tidings of her or th
change till last right, when she found her in the custody of a i.olicemao.
Policeman Ilow,rd of the F division stated, that he apprehended the
prisoner last evening about five o'clock in Itese.stre..t, Long.acre, and
on tiliing her what charge was ;against- her, she denied that she was
guilty, but suliseque:Aly acknowledged having c!-Pnged the note and
Spent it among some friends.

Mr. Mtsstitim, orderel her !o be fully co:nmittol fjr trial.

Wm:- Raynt3nd„ a servant out of placo, was chargo.l by 83 F divi-
sion, who stated that at half-past twelve last night, as the theatres broke
up, there was great confusion in Great Ilussell-street, in consequence of
the company not being able to find their coaches, and while he was en-
deavouring to extricate the vehicle of a " Jarvey" to let it pass into
the line, the prisoner came up, and, taking told of the horses' heads,
resisted him in t'•he execution of his duty. On questioning him lie said
that he did not belong to any of the company, but had been at the tle-
atre himself.

The prisoner in his defence said a gentleman who had two lad:e, un-
der his protection, requested he would procure a coach f‘.r him, and in
doing so he was prevented by the policeman. .

• • -
Mr. MINSHULL inquired if the prisoner committed any assault, and
being answered in the negative reprimanded him fur his interference,
and ordered him to be discharged.

John Wright, Thomas Gould, and John 7hackery, were charged by
constable Sopor with insulting persons in the streets.,

The complainant stated that, at one o'clock this morning, he heard a
disturbance in St. Martin's lane, and on going to see what was the
matter, he fiord the prisoners behaving in a riotous manrer. After he
had dispersed them they went up New_street, and he saw them insult
s2voral females and knock them off the pavement as they passed
along. He then, with the as.istance of another constable, too:: them to
the station-hous:, and found some difficulty in mannin,; Gould, as
he was drunk.

The prison,rs said they were in the emp,oyment of the same mane:,
anil had been olnided by some females, with whom they had been
drinking.
Mr. MINSHULL ordered the prisoner Gould to find bail, and the others
to be put back till the evening.

Fusileers, hag, we understand, been offered a command
in

assistant' to Sir .J.' Colborne.
We stated-in our publication on Wednesday, that some doubt
existed w beth-r a regiment of cavalry or a few squa4.rona
would be sett to Canada; we wrre correct, as s‘Q now learn
that three squadronsselected from the' King's Dragoon Guards
and 7th Hussars, constitute the force intended fur this pac:l-
- service.
The Ist battalion of Grenadier Guards are'to replace the 2d

MANSION-HOUSE.

Oa Thursday last Mr. Henry Flower, of Compton-place,
Islington, applied to the Lord Mayor for advice under the fol.

wing circumstances

Mr: Flower stated that on the previous (Wednesday) after-
noon he arrived in London from Boulogne, by the Magnet
steam-packet, and that he was informed by the Custom-house
officers on board the vessel that he could receive his luggage
as soon as it was deposited in the luggage warehouse of the
Custom-house. Accordingly, on Thursday morning he went
to the Custom-house, or rather to the warehouse on London
Bridge Wharf. His luggage, consisting of five packages, was
searched and passed by the examining officer, and a duty of
three shillings was ordered to be charged on some trifling ar-
ticle, which Mr. Flower proceeded to pay, when the clerk
demanded five shillings and sixpence. Mr. Flower requested to
know the reason of the additional charge of the two shillings and
sixpence, to which the clerk replied that be demanded it on the
part of Messrs. Jackson and Knill, the wharfingers, it being
sixpence on each paekage. Mr. Flower refused to pay it, and
his goods were detained in consequence. He therefore ap-
plied to the Lord Mayor for his advice.
The LORD MAYOR wished to know at what wharf, and at
what hour, Mr. Flower landed ?
Mr. Flower replied, at London Bridge Wharf, at two o'clock
in the afternoon.
The LORD MAYOR asked if the warehouse et London Bridge
Wharf was used as a deposit one by the Custom-house ?
Mr. Flower said he thought not.
The LORD MAYOR did not see that he could assist Mr.
Flower. He considered the charge of sixpence on each pack-
age as a gross imposition, and he was at a loss to know how
it could ever have been suffered to be demanded under the very
eye of the Custom-house authorities. He recommended Mr.
Flower to apply to the Commissioners of the Customs on the
subject.

Mr. Flower observed that at the Custom-house itself no
charge was ever made on passengers' luggage arriving from the
Continent. He believed that the present demand made upon him
was under pretence of paying for the warehouse at London Bridge
Wharf, which was nothing better than a good sized stable, the
parts appropriated for the passengers' waiting-room and their
luggage, being exactly like lofts. The warehouse, cranesand all,
could not have cost anything like 1,0001., and yet he was sure
the public had paid upwards of 3,0001. for it, and the imposi-
tion was still going on. Mr. Flower hoped the Lord Mayor
would grant him a summons against Messrs. Jackson and
Knill to show by what authority they detained his goods, after
they had been passed by the Customs.
The LORD MAYOR said he had every disposition to serve Mr.
Flower, but, under the circumstances, it was not in his power
to issue a summons. He thought Mr. Flower had better apply
to the Commissioners, and, in the meantime, he would give
him a card to a gentleman to make inquiries of.
Mr. Flower thanked the Lord Mayor for his attention, and
withdrew.

BOW-STREET.-(T t 3 IS DAY.)

James Rodwell, 5, Great Crown-court, Dean-street,
Soho, confectioner, was charged by James Ledger, a con-
stable of the Adelphi Theatre, with forging a certain
order of admittance for two persons, with intent to defraud
the propries or.
it appeared that during the izl-t -season several orders
had Bern sueee,sfully ndered, which clusc.it
„re; ~ce to b; uacU oil the
in such cases became responsible, and last night, when
two females attempted to pass with the order produced,

bearing the initials J.R., they were questioned about it,
and they instantly gave information that they had been
presented with it by the defendant.
In answer to the charge the defendant said, that one
of the females with whom he was acquainted came into
his shop, and after some jokes had passed between them
she asked for a ticket to one of the theatres, which he
said he could accommodate her with, at the same time
taking up a pen and writing an order with the initials of
his name, but not supposing she would be so foolish as
present it, or he would have given her an order of admit-
tance to the lunatic asylum.
Mr. TWYFORD said that there did not appear to hiirr
any disposition on the part of the defendant to commit
a fraud, and ordered him to be discharged.
William Burnett, driver of 7,018 cabriolet, and wearing
the badge 3,172, was brought up by 65 F, charged with
being drunk, and furiously driving through Bow-street this
morning at three o'clock. The charge was admitted by
the defendant, and Mr. TWYFORD ordered him, under the
New Act, to be sent to hard labour for one month, and to
be further disqualified from filling the situation of cabriolet
driver for the next two months.
An elderly woman, named Elizabeth Mansion, was
charged on suspicion with the following felony
Mr. Bond, publisher of the Era weekly newspaper,
stated that a police constable came into his shop yesterday
to say, that he took the prisoner into custody with a quan-
tity of posting-bills produced, his property, and which cost
10i. a hundred, in her possession, without being able to give
a satisfactory account of them, amang which were bills of
other weekly newspapers.
Constable 53 E proved that about half-past three o'clock
yesterday, be saw the prisoner enter a shop in Bainbridge'
street, St. Giles's, and on her coming out he traced her to
Dean•street, Soho, where a man came up to her, and gave
her the bundle produced. On being taken into custodY,
she accounted for the possession of it, by saying that the
paper belonged to her husband, and she was about to sell
it, to procure tobacco far him with the price of it.
Mr. TWYFORD ordered her to be remanded, in order to
have further inquiries made.

LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA
AND THE CANADAS, PER " GREAT WEST-
REN," IN TWELVE AND A HALF DAYS.

BRISTOL, OCT. 17.—At half-past 8 a.m. the Great Western
cast anchor in the King-roads—she sailed at 4 o'clock on
the evening of the 4th. Wonderful as her preceding, trips are,
this is the shortest passage the Great Western, or indeed
any ♦essel, has ever made. She has had upon the whole
favourable winds, though she has had to contend with very
heavy seas occasionally. Her outward passage was per-
formed in about sixteen days. She brings 126 passengers,
whose names are given below ; also the abstract of her log-
book home. The passengers are highly gratified ; and she
brings home some of higher quality than any who have be-
fore honoured this splendid vessel. I enclose you complete
files of papers to the sth October, also others of the latest
dates from Montreal and Quebec—their contents are of
the utmost importance. There is every reason to believe
that Lord Durham contemplates an immediate return, in
consequence of the treatment he has received from the
House of Lords, and more particularly from his friends--
the Ministers. In confirmation of this, you will find
amongst the list of passengers Lord Arthur Lennox ( Aide •
de-Camp to his Lordship, I believe), also W. H. F. Caven-
dish, Esq., who is the bearer of important despatches from
Lord Durham. It appears there have been public meetings in
Canada, where all parties join in deprecating such an event,
the greatest calamity which could befall their country.
The inquiry very naturally is, who is to tranquilize the
Colonies ?
There are other matters of great interest in the papers,
which I have only time merely to extract.
The citizens of Bristol congratulate each other, (as well
they may,) on the honour and advantage accruing to their
city from the continued success of their great enterprise

GREAT WESTERN SEA SONG.
FAREWELL AWHILE MY NATIVE
ISLE. WRITTEN and SUNG by Mr. WILSON, the
celebrated Vocalist, on board the Great Western Steam-ship, on
her voyage from Bristol to New York, in lat. 48. 3 N. long. 9. 52.
W. A copy was thrown overboard in a bottle, picked up six days
afterwards, and forwarded to the Editor of The Sun Newspaper, and
is now (in one month from the time of its being written) published,
embellished with the most correct and spirited drawing, which has
yet appeared of the

GREAT WESTERN IN FULL SAIL.
The Music, by Mr. AUSTIN PHILLIPS.
Dedicated (with permission) to the Directors of the Great Wes-
tern Steam-ship Company, and to Lieutenant Hosken, R.N.,
Commander.

(From Felix Farley's Bristol Journal. )
THE GREAT WESTERN SEA SONG.—As we expected this
sea.born Song has been set to Music, and Music too of such a cha-
racter as cannot fail to make it one of the most popular Songs of
the day. The melody is extremely beautiful, and Mr. Austin
Phillips has admirably adapted the bass, which principally runs in
triplets, towing and wave-like, introducing some exceedingly rich
harmonies. Mr. Wilson may well be proud of the treatment which
his bottle-nytnph has received, not only from the Professor, but the
spirited publisher, Mr. Cochrane.

robbing his robbing his master, Mr. Green, of Fetter-lane, of
nine pounds of flour, which was found secreted in paper bags

UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.

This is excellent Club reading, for it does not severely
tlx thought. The articles are short and various, and
most of them have reference to naval and military matters.
The most amusing one in the present Number is " The
Run to the Channel Islands," which is a terse, but graphic
account of a trip made last autumn by the steam-boat from
Southampton to Jersey and Guernsey. This, by the way,
is becoming one of the popular, if not fashionable, excur-
sions of the day ; and wo do not wonder at it, for it does
not very seriously affect the pocket, and enables the tourist to
see much novelty in a short space of time. We agree
with the writer that Southampton is one of the most
beautiful towns in the kingdom ; and as choicely situated as
any lover of the picturesque could desire, being close by the
New Forest, and within a two hours' sail of that paradise,
the Isle of Wight. " A Retrospect of 1837" gives an ac-
count of the promotions made last year in the army ; it is
written in a spirit of discontent, the. propriety or other-
wise, of which we can say nothing about, as we are wholly
uninformed on all military matters. " Cavalry Colonies in
the South of Russia" are a series of. observations suggested
by Marshal Marmont's lately published book of travels in
the dominions of the Czar. The writer entertains a fa-
vourable opinion—and from the tenor of his remarks, we
should conclude him to be a competent judge—of the
Russian cavalry, more particularly of their state of dis_
cipline and celerity of movement. " Sketches of Military
Life in India" is a trite theme, lightly and gracefully treated.
Of the remaining articles we can venture to say nothing,
for they are for the most part of a military statistic character.

LAMBETH-STREET.

Thomas Heaton, a man of ;espectable appearance, was
charged with felony. In November last, a gentleman was
robbed of a pocket book, containing 401. in notes, a bill of ex-
change for hot and other property. On the day of the rob-
bery the prisoner purchased a watch at Mr Finlay's, in Rat.
clifie-highwny, and tendered in payment a 101. note. which
was sent to the bank, and found to be one of those stolen. The
prisonrr gave a fal,e address, and was not seen until acciden-
tally met with in Whitechapel.
The prisoner was remanded.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GALLOPING MATrit.—The bay mare of Mr. Whitfield again
accomplished the same distance as detailed by us a few days ago
(20 miles in the hour), and this trial has even brought her into
more repute than the first performance. She was basked on this
occasion for 501., and to carry Mr. Savage, a gentleman well known
as a steeple-chase rider, who, at the time of making the match,
weighed twelve stone, making on increased weight of nearly two
stone over Mr. Beaumont, the gentleman who rode her before.
The match came off on Friday on Sunbury Cola-non, but did not
boast of any very extraordinary attendance. The jockey had been
in very severe training, and did not at the time of mounting exceed
10st. 121 b. As the mare was coming up, arid within a quarter of
a mile of the first ten, one of the stirrups flew off, and upwards of a
minute's delay ensued before she was again off. She evidently got
breathing time, and went off at an immense rate, not a horseman
being able to keep near her. She came to the winning-post two
minutes and thirty seconds within her given time. It was, how-
ever, afterwards stated that the 20 miles had occupied 47 minutes
40 seconds. She did not appear so much distressed as might have
been anticipated. It will be remembered that she only had eight
seconds to spare on the former occasion.
