BUCHAREST, MARCH 4.—Letters have been re-
ceived at Tecuezi, which notice the arrival there of

FRONTIERS OF HUNGARY, :MARCH 6.—The
Grand Vizier, after.establishing his communications
with the interior of Bulgaria, and reviewing the
troops at Schumla, has taken the road to Adrian-

peEted to be a most ill.rstrious assemblage at t he Sax-
on capital,'but our Monarch's stay, it is conjeetured
will be short, as he will be attended Merely by what
is called at Court his flying suit. The Royal party
will stop at Prague on their route.

SHEFFIELD.

The following account of the disturbances at
Sheffieldis extraded from the Sheffield-Mercury of
Saturday. It is prefaced by some very sensible ob-
servations, for which. we regret that we have not
room.

About twelve o'clock on Tuesday last, •(being
market day) a-nuMber of mischievous persons,as-
sembled in the Market-place, where they
the potatoes, fish, and some other comm,tdities ex-
posed for sale, and threw. them about the streets in
a most tumultuous manner-; and. though these in-
f,tuated people were early admonished by the- Ma-
gistrates to disperse, they afterwards broke pprfi se-
veral cellars in which potatoes were deposited, and
threw the contents at each other, in doing which
many windows were broken..
In consequence of these violent outrages,' the
Magistrates read,-.in different parts of the town; the
Riot AEI; anti, we are sorry to say, .t-hey were
greatly annoyed by the populace in fulfilling this es-
sential funtlion of office.

It was now insinuated by some evil disposM per-
sons, that the file-arms belonging to the Sheffield.
Local Militia should be destroyed. No sooner was
the hint gixen, than hundreds of the mob proceeded
to the place in the Wicker; where the said arms
were deposited, and, after having met with con,i-.
derable resistance in their attempts to gain admit-
tance, the serjeants on ditty wee at last overpower-
ed by vollies of stones, which broke the windows,
and at which some of the rioters gained an entrance
into the building. _ _

About one hundred stand of arms and the drums
were quickly broken,.and (Alter damage committed.
Whilst the mob were engaged in this daring wotk
of destru6lion, a,party of the isth.L;ght Dragoons
arrived from the Barracks, apprehended several of
them, and, dispersed the remainder.
No lives were lost during this short but shameful.
disturbance; and it was a most fortunate circum-
stance that Hugh Parker, Esq. S. Wortley, Esq.
and the Rev. S. Corbett, the 111:)gtst rifles of the dis-
triti, were on this occasion engaged in their usual
official duties at the Tuwn Hall, b'y whom
.the
most prompt mea,ures were adopted, and before
three o'clock in the afternoon the final peace of the
town was secured and-confirmed.

The Sheffield, Rotherham; and Kiveton troops of
West Riding Yeomanry. Cavalry,. and the- Shatield
Regiment of Local Rliliti,x, were soon under arms,—
The acting and auxiliary Cons,allles were urio in
attendance; and it'gives us pleasure to state, that
the Mai!,istfates, the 15th Dragoons, the Yeomanry
Cavalry, and the Local Militia, have all done their
duty.
AbOut seven o'clock in the evening of the dis-
tut bance, fora► of ►he rioters were sent off to York
Castle, to take their trials at the next Assizes.—
They- were conveyed from the Town Hall in two
chaises, escorted by a guard of the 15th Light Horse
to a considerable distance. '

About dusk the cavalq dismissed the people who
were assembled.in the streets, and remained op duty
dttring t4e night.
The tbliowing persons have been committed 'to
York Castle for bring concerned in the riots and
disturbances in this town :

On Tuesday, William Rogers, Mary Gibbons,
Thomas Wilson, and Joseph Wolstenholme.—On
WednesilaY# Rowen and Win. Demon..,—
On Tl•ursday, William Groom.—On Friday, Wm.
Shirtiiffq.—And John.Savake to Wakefield prison.

On Thursday se'nnight, just after the passengers
had alighted at Horslty, from one of the diligences;
-between Newcastle and Hexharn, one of them,
named Catherine M'Caul, a travelling ped:ar of the
latter place, was thrown down fry a cow %% hid; was
running furiously at a dog, by which she. was so
much gored arid bruised, &it she languished in
great agony until the, Saturd evening, when she
She was a native of Scotland, but had resided
may years al Hexhan4.

LAM pEPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL 17.

MORRTS V. COLEMAN.

A motion was made in this case on t',e part of
Mr. Morris, to' have Mr. Win,torfremoved fiorn the
situation of stage-manager to the Little Theatre,
Haytnarket, of which Mr. Coleman and Mr. Mor-
ris are joint proprietors. The mo'ion was grdt.3ildel
on the deed of agreement, in 1805, and on certain
alleged ads
_of • mismanagement, as :stage-manager,
on the part of Mr. 'Winston, particnlatly his having
removed the fornier wardrobe-keener, and appttinte,t
in his place a person wlxi had pawned articles be-
longing to the Theatre.
Mr. WRATHERALL and Mr. Tiromsot4 argueci the
case on the part of Mr. Winston, and the alleged •
aEls of mismanagement were negatived by. at&
davits. .

• The LORD CHANCELLOR having an engagement
at two o'clock, ordered the farther hearing to stand
over to-Monday. •

POLICE.

Bow-STREET.—Saturday Seabrook and John
Wyse were brought before-Mr, GRAHAM, charged
with felonionsly stealing a large quantity of rum,
the property of the King.—lt appeared that-small
vessels, called boys, are employed to convey stoles
from the King's Vian,Wing Offi at Deptford, to
the King's' ships. On the gth day of I,,gt March,
the Friends Good Will, boy, the prisoner, Seabrook,
master, tcok in half hogsheads and other casks of
rum, containing two thousand five hundred and se-
venty gallons, and he, in company with a man hf
the name of Fowler, sailed wi h them for the Dun-
Can man •of war, lying at the Nore. After they
had
,proceeded a short distance, a skiff, with the pri-
soner Wyse, and three other then in it, came along
side the boy ; Wyse and all the other men went on
board the boy, taking with them several nine gallon,
casks and a half anker. The prisoner Seabrook, give
them some false keys, .or picklock keys, which.
opened the locks that secnred the rum. Having
opened the locks, \ by the assistance of a pump
they pumped out of the hogsheads into their
casks a large quantity in a short time into
their casks, and put them into their skiff, and one
of the men rowed away with them. On bis way
down the River, some Custom-house G-Xt.ces, in .a
Custom-house boat, observing the casks in the skiff,
and supposing them to
.contain smuggled ii quo „
made towards them for the purpose of ma-king a
seizure. The man .who was F-rowing the' skiff
discovered to be making towards him, drove t'
head of the casks in and threw the contents over-
board. The casks not being the King's, the Otfi-'
pers of Course we not .able 'to make any seiz,,lo,
there-being no ,liquor. in them ; -the .circumstance
of the man throwing the liquor ovtrbeard, convinc-
e I the Officers something was *von, and an in-
quiry having taken place, and by the confession of
one of the parties and other, witnesses, the. above
Circumstances have been proved, and it -has beereas-
certained that the quantity of ram taken. from the
boy by the prisoner, Seabrook, on the above
from the time of its leaving the Viduailing
to its arrival at the Duncan man of war, was ninety
gallons, and that .the hogsheads had been filled up
with water. .

The prosecution is carried on by 'the Commission-
ers of the Viaualling Office.
The prt,oners were committed for tiial.

On Tuesday forinight last, early in the morning,
Iwo murders of the most atrocious character• v.vcrd
committed on the lands -of Castle Jane, in the
neighbourhood of 'Skibbereen. On the Monday
night previous, Mr. Horan, of Clop aff, having had
occasion-to send a young man with a sum of mon -y
to Cork, he, after h<ivirig received the necessary
instroaionsi d :Tarred, from Mr. H.'s• about , ten
o'clock that night for Castle Jane, and'had nrcceed-
ed but a short way from hotne on the following
morning, when he was attacked and robbed, and
subsequently murdered. Not satisfied with this,
the perpetrators went to the house of hii mother,
murdered her likewise, and threw the body into an
adjoining house near Castle. Jane. The remains ul
the man were not discovered until the Friday; while
an inquest was holding on the body of the poor.
widow, his mother ; upon which some st4icicus
charaeters of that neighbourhood were taken
,Skibbereen jail.
J. Took was executed last week at Ipswich, hav-
ing been convi&ed of violating the persotrof his own
daughter. The prisoner on his trial pleaded idiotcy,
which being investigated, was deemed unfoun.led,
&o far as regarded right and wrong; but his beha-
viour to the last exhibited strong symptoms of ex-
treme ignorance and insensibility.
