that having heard a Considerable uproar at t: e end

him in endeavouring to induce the ero;vd to •nove

the " good people" not thinking that lie had suf-
ficiently demoestrated his joy at tloe brilliant vic-
tory, had broke his windows. For tins atfaek,ho cy-
ever, he heartily forgave them, as upon slid/ joy-
ous occasions the •ebulitions of English spirits
might be considered excusable. In these feeli:!gi
he hoped he should be joined by Mr. Metcalfe,
who, he was sure, under all the features of the
case, would agree with him in deprecating a vin-
dictive course. With respect to the ass,mlt, if
that could • not he accommodated, if wind t of

thing, - and immediately a:.t.:er'.vards heard some'
glass fail ; upon Which they took him into cas-;
tody. The prisoner denied that he. had thrown
any thing, and pro•lneed -a witness,. why distkily
asterted that the. aTieye.-itions of the watchmen
were false. The prisoner, who is a joueneyttem
earpenter,.alsi) stated,, that while he was . in the
watch-house several persons, whose appearance
betokened respectability, were brought in on a si-
in il..r charge,but were discharged a poregiYing their
addresses;while he.was held in custody. The water:-
men admitted that several respc..ctable persons, and
among others merchants and brokers, loyl been
taken into custody, hut, upon giving their
addresses, were discharged: Mr. Mist observed;
that it was somewhat extraordinary that those
who had really the means of making some recom-
pence for the damage done should nor he brought
forward; while the unfortunate man at the bar,
who seemed the least criminal, should be de-

•
Sir. W. LEWES could not account for the .ab-
sence of tile persons alluded to, and could oily
direct'that they should be brought up to-mprrow
(this day.) Mr. Mist said, he should • take the
advice or his Solicitor. Fisk was admitted to bail,
and ordered to attend this day.
Bow-STREET. The respectable part: of the
'community, in several parts of the town, were
prevented from enjoying the sight of the
nation, and participating in the general joy that
prevailed on Monday night, by a set of idle ap-
prentice boys, and fellows of the lowest descrip-
tion, who were continually. letting off tire-works,
firing off blunderbusses, muskets, and pistols,
among crowds of spectators, who were quietly
gazing at the illuminations.• A musket burst in
Spring-Gardens,. Opposite the,Suanish Ambassa-
dor's house, but.we did ncrt hear of any serious
mischief being .done. The most outrogeons con-
duct took place in St, James's-street and Picea-
dille, in both of which -places most of the houses
were extremely well lighted ; and this scene con-
tinued till near one o'clock, when most of the
families went to bed : however, soon after that
time, an immense 'nob came calling out for lights,
which bad but a little time before- been burning
brilliantly : the inhabitants got from their beds,
and sheaved candles in their night linea only ; this
did not satisfy the mob,who began to demolish the
windows with sticks, brick-hat:, stones, &c:—
Some panes in Mr. Coutts's house, -which cost.
41. 10s. a square, were broke.; several avindoses
in Sir Francis Burdett's were demolished- This
scene lasted till past three o'clock.--The da-
mage done is estimated at 5 'or 60Q/a B icon,
and his party of the patrede, were stationed
in that neighbourhood to keep. order ;' but the
mob was so. large, that was impossible • to repress
it. However, they fieed upon three of the rhae-
leaders, who were particularly active in throwieg
brick bats and stones, aad at a convenient oppor-
tuaity seized them ; when there was a generel
outcry to rescue them, and the mob attacked the
officers most violently, calling them Piecadiiiy
butchers, etc. ; one o the patrole had hi's head cut
open ; they, however, fought, their way, bravely
through the mob, and conveyed their prisoners to
a watch-house. They found upon them brick-
bats and stones.
Yesterday morning they weee examined befote
Mr. NARES ; they said their names are Jahn Wood-
house, Henry Paddick, and Thomas Dickinson.
They are a journeyman calico-prieter, a servant
out of place, and, an apprentice boy. They Were
ordered to find bail:
Charles Griffiths was brought by a party of the
patrole, charged with letting off a squib, in Ca-
therine-street, and pre paring 'to let off another.
He was convicted, in the penalty of 20s.

CORN-EXCHANGE AUG. 10.—This day we have
very few arrivals of Wheat, and the supplies on

sales fully support last prices ; Barley hardly at
the last quotation; Malt varies but little in price-;
the same, maybe noted in Peas and Beans of both
sorts ; Oats-are in extrer
few sales made only to th
also.folly maintain the la
out variation.
