its success—the 'agriculturist, the manufac-
turer, and the merchant—all are aware that their
respective employments will receive a stimulus as
soon as the company is put into complete activity.
Tile, general outcry in this' country has been, that
if did not possess a sufficiently extended capital

new ones;„.or to.give facilities to those establish-
merits, which might find employment forits pope-

now before our minor capitalists-4,f them unite
and support this company. All that is wanting
from them is, to appropriate a small portion of
their funds—that is, to subscrib to a few shares,
and all the rest will 'be done by the greater ca-
pitalists of England. It is well ascertained that
the present circulating medium is not equal to the
wants of the.countsy. If trade of all kinds lan-
guish, may it not be owing to this cause. The pre-
sent undertaking is directed to remedy this.evil,

Bow-STnEET.,—Yesterday, William Hawes, Esq., of the
Royal Chapel, St. "Jarnes's Palace, was brought up from bis
house in the Adclphi, on a warrant charging him with'having
assaulted Jacob Wm. Gear (one of the suiting cboristers) against
the peace of our Sovereign Lord the. King, 'his crown and
dignity.
Mr. Ilawes, it will be recollected, is the vocal preceptor of the
young choristers Of the Chapel Royal, who all reside in his
house for the purpose. of receiving liis instructions.lie lip;
'reared to answer this curious charge attend6a.biseveral of •
them, and also by Dr. Alughes, one of the canons ilesiden-
tiary of St. Paul's Cathedral ; whilst little Jacob—a tine boy
between eleven and twelve years old, was accompanied by a
young man' named Roberts, a clerk in the banking-house of
Messrs. Jones, Loyd, ap(.3

gently ; and then the oath was administered to him, slid he
told his story. lie was in the school-room, at eight c' clock last
Thursday- morning, he said, stooping down and playing with a
leathern sucker, when Mr. Ilawe3 entered the room and ~,truck
him on the arm with his walking-cane, which bruised hint very
much, and gave hitri.eriat pain.
The Magistrate desired hint to show his bruises; and, taking
off his jacket, he pointed out a discoloration of the skin, aboute
an inch and a half in length, on the upper part of his arm.
This was the assault coMplained of, and the Magistrate asked
Mr. Hawes what he had ft, say in reply.
Mr. Hawes been by producing the cane with which this
terrible blow was inflicted ; it was an ordinary elastic walking
cane, of about an inch. in circumference ; and having expressed
his opinion that the bruise 'exhibited was not caused by the
blow in question, be said it was his invariable praitice to have
his pupils assemble in the school-room at half-past seven o'cloCk
every morning, for the purpose of practising the 'Psalms of the
Clay. On Thursday "morning, when he entered the schools
room, he found all the boys at their lessons except this Master
Jacob Gear, and he was playing, as he himself had described ;
whereupon ho gave him a alight rap with, his cane, and told
hiM to go to his. business, which he, instantly did, with no
'other symptom of pain than the single ejaculation " Oh !"
It was not the first time he had found it necessary to inflict
slight. corporeal punishment, both on the complainant and
other's of his pupils; but he could safely appeal to theM
and-their friends whether be had ever exercised an improper
severity ; and he did not believe the
,present complaint would
have been.preferred, had not the boy:been instigated to it by
the.young nianwha stood beside Win (Mr. Roberts), who had,
from some motive which he 4)01, not fathom, given himself
a great deal of unnecessary trouble .abdut this boy, not only
on the present occasion, but formerly ; and, with permission
of the Magistrate, he would take the liberty of stating the
circumstances:—lie (Mr. IL) had thought it right to be par-
ticularly watchful over this , bay, because he found a letter in
his possession, evidently, written by some man of education,
requesting the boy to meet him in a dark passage near Pater-
noster-row; and, as he believed that such a meeting could not
have been requested for any good purpose, he considered it his
duty not to let the boy leave his house except by the especial
request of his father. But this Mr. Roberts had thought pro.
per to write two letters to )tint, peremptprily requiring that the
looy should be allowed to go home at stated periods, which he
dictated; and also that he should he allowsd to visit'bbn (Mr.
Roberts) at certain times which he pointed out. In answer to
the first of these letters, he stated that he should not suffer the
boy to leave his care, except at the special request of his father;
and he took no further notice of the second than merely ac-
knowledging its receipt, and referring Mr. Roberts to his first
answer. • _

The Magistrate (having read the letters alluded to) told Mr.
Hawes he had listened attentively to all he had said—and per.
haps to some extraneous matter ;, but he did so because charges
of cruelty, as this professed to be, were tot only taken up
warmly by the public, but were peculiarly calculated to injure
the character of the accused; and therefore it west but, right
that a gentleman
,conducting what might be called a public
establishment, should have every opportunity of completely re.
butting the charge. '" Having stated thu* much," said his
NVorship, " I shall now endeavour to ascertain thisgentleinan'a
character and motives. Pray,.Sir, who are you ?"
My name is George Roberts," replied the,person addressed.
" And what arc you ?"
" I am a d Clark in the banking-house of Jones; Loyd, and
Co, of Lothbury."
" Anti why have you interfered in this business ?" haveinterfered by the authority of the father of the boy,
and whatever I have done has been tione..by his sanction."
His Worship now,aelted the bays—fOr little Jacob's' brother
was also present—.whether they knew: this. llir. Reheits and
they replied that they did ; he was an .intimate friend:oitheir
father's, and they passed much of their leisure at his 'house.
Mr. Hawes repeated, that Mr Roberts Was the sole instigator
of all this unnecessary trouble. Dr. Hughes bore testimony to
the kindness of heart, and the excellent character of Mr. Hawes;
and finally the Magistrate observed, " It appears to me that
there is no just ground for the present complaint—or even
admitting that there is, it is the business of the boy's pareuti
to take. it up; and I really cannot see any possible reason
for the interference of,Mi. Roberts, who seems to have bestirred
himself in it most gratuitously. A new idea, and a very silly
one it is, seems to be gaining ground lately. that boys at school
are not so be touched in the way of correction;, but I should
be glad to know how the buiiness of instruction, among a num-
ber of boys of various tempers and dispositions, can possibly be
carried on without occasional chastisement. In this instance I
do not consider the correction to have been too severe, and I
shall therefore dismiss the complaint."
Complaint dismissed accordingly.
A SWINDLER.
M swat ox.Homm.—Messrs. Clementi and Sons, the music-
sellers in Cheapside, sent to the Justiee.Room to put the police
on the alert after a swindler who had-attempted to defraud
them, who they had no doubt was committing extensive depre-
dations in the-metropolis. A- person. brought a letter to them,
of which the following is a copy :
" October 23, 1824.

honest 'man whom he had picked up in the. neighbourhtiod to
carry the order for him.. Mr. Gordon and his family had been
long out of town. Had the flutes been sent, the swindler would
doubtless have been at the dOor to receive them.

posed, gangs of thieves who carry on with impunity extensive
frauds would lose their most profitable labours.
Mau Dooe.—The Lord ]Mayor has received information
that very extensive mischief has been done by mad dogs. About
a week ago a Gentleman, who is well known as the Editor 'of
a Periodical. Publication and several Literary Works, was bitten
by n black terrier in Pentonville t• on the following day it was
ascertained that the dog was decidedly mad, and the Oentktnan
underwent a very severe operation by_ .111 r. Lawrence.. Air.
Bail, of the Rlinoms, has written to inform his Lordship of the
mischief dune in that neighbourhood by mad clogs. One which

§INUULAII CHARGE OF FELONY..
Gutitittau..—G. D. .I)qtche, Fol. was charged by A.
Pastille, Esq. his brother, with feloniously carrying away COL
,his property.
The prosecutor, with great trepidation, proceeded to req,!test
that he might be allowed to read a written narrative of the hte.ts
coortreted,witii- the ease, as.. he .was unable to give a verbal 'ro-
la*, and he had nut had time to consult a profeesiona.act..

Mr. SMITH—I gave you the earliest notice • and that you
would bring your cash-book with, you, which I now call on
you to produce.
(The book was put in, and it appeared that the 60!. alleged
to have been stolen was regularly entered.)
Mr. SMITH then said, that although thedissolution had beezi
published in the Gazette, yet the complainant and accused were
still partners to all intents and purposes, until their accounts
were made up and balanced, and each might draw, as exigana
des required, out of the common fund.
The Worthy Alderman was of the same opinion—he could
not allow the narrative to be read, as it might go forth to' the
world to the prejudice of the party accused, against whom he
at prelim saw no ground for accusation.—Complaint dismissed.
MAlttl3oll.ot/GII-STREET.-11irs. Riviere, the wife of Mr.
Riviere, a gunsmith, in Oxford-street, applied for the Magis-
trate's advice, as to what means she should adopt to rear ter,
or gain some tidings of a favourite daughter, who had suds:
denly disappeared from the house—she believed removed away
by Mr, Riviere, in order to separate her from her mother, to
whom she was greatly attached ; she had some reason to sits.:
spect that the girl, who is only 15 years of age, has been cone
signed to the cloisters of a convent somewhere upon the-Conti-
nent. At all events Mrs. Riviere said, she can neither see nor
hear any thing of her dear child, nor will Mr. Riviera give her
any satisfaction respecting her, or the place of her retreat.
The Magistrate said, that he had no power to interfere with
a father in the disposal of his daughter, as, stated by Mre,
Riviere, but he would mend for Mr. Itiviere, and most likely he
would give some explanation that would he satisfactory upon
the subject. Accordingly, Mr. Riviera will sent for, and'ar•
rived itta few minute: at the Office, when the Magistrate' fa..
formed him of the grievance of which Mrs. Riviere complained.
Mr. Riviere said it was true he had removed his (laughter
away ftom the controul of her mother, for the best of all pos•
Bible reasons ; that, had he not done so, the ruin mutt
be the consequence. To give the Magistrate sonic idea of the
probability Of this result, he would mention a few transactions,
,and aline of conduct which this young creature, 13 years Of
age, was encouraged by her mother to pursue. In the first
place, this young girl, with the consent of her mother, birecl
large ballroom, for the purpose of giving weekly dancesend
halls, and inviting all the young men and women, no matter
who they were, that came into her own or her-mother's head.-s-
-in the next place, she became an actress, by her mother's wish,
at a private theatre, where she was to act the' chief' parts in
tragedy ; and all this had for some time been going on unknown
to him (Mr. Riviere) until he fortunately found it out by ap
accidental circumstance of his missing the key of the street•
door, which, upon inquiry, he discovered this young creature
was in the habit of taking with her, by her mother's consents
every night, after he went to bed, and letting herself in at four
or five o'clock in the morning. To rescue the );irl, therefore,
from the inevitable ruin that mast await her, if not removed
from such scenes, he had placed her in a situation where both
her motels and her education will be attended to. He had nal
tut was stated, intrusted her removal to the care of any tine, inr
he himself had placed her whereshe is.
Mrs. liiviae could not deny the scenes described by her hue.
band, but said all she wanted was to know where her daughter
was, and to hear from her occasionally.
The Magistrate .said, that after what he had beard, hate&
tainly should not press upon. Mr. Itiviere to say more than he
wished 'upon the subject, but perhaps he would have no ob.
rjection to tell Mrs. Riviera if the girl was in Thigland, or in

" Oh, then," exclaimettlirs. Riviera, "my child ill ruined,
lost for ever; she will be made a nun off I"

The 141agistrate observed,' that perhaps if she even were, the
change might not be for the worse, from the course of life, le
was pursuing.
Mr. Riviere said, that of course the Magistrate knew that
these convents were schools of education as well, and the rail.
gion at' the pupils not interfered with.
To give some idea of the extravitgan texpence into which his
Wife and daughter were alto bringing him, .111 r. !livers produced,
to the Magistrate a bill, which he had just paid f6r dreasectuld
ornaments, including stage dresses; no doubt, and ball draws.
This bill reached in length across the Magistrate's tab*, and
amounted to ISO/. in two inonths. •

The Magistrate said that he thought Mr. Riviere had .atted
with great propriety in disposing of his daughter as he had dose,
and advised Airs. Riviere not to interfere further upon the sib..
ject ; she would, of course, always have an oppoitunity'oti hear..
