GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

A very respectable looking young man, named James
Porekam, was placed at the bar before Sir CHAPMAN
MARSHALL, on the charge of annoying Mr. Henry
John Stone, a chemist and druggist, carrying on business
in Paternoster-row.

A Solicitor, who attended on behalf of the complain-
ant, said, that a gentleman named Manley had formerly
been a partner of Mr. Stone's, but his connection with
the business had entirely ceased upwards of eight years
ago. The prisoner came this morning and said that Mr.
Manley had executed a power of attorney in his favour,
whereby he became entitled to enter into the position
which Mr. Manley formerly occupied, as a partner. After
some conversation between the complainant and the pri-
soner, the latter was given into custody.
Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL—I do not think it proper to
have Mr. Poreham placed at the felons' bar ; .let him be
removed immediately.
The defendant then took his position at the table, and
said he considered that he had a right to be on Mr.
Stone's premises under the circumstances on which the
charge was grounded, as the document alluded to by the
complainant's solicitor was a legal and valid one.
Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL said he considered it was a
matter that could Lest be arranged by a private re-
ference.

After some conversation, the solicitors, who attended
on both sides for the parties, acceded to the suggestion and
retired.

A decent-looking man, named John Green, was charged
on suspicion of stealing two nests' tongues.
It having been proved that the prisoner svas innocent,
he stated that he dealt in the articles named, and had
walked upwards of thirty miles round the suburbs of the
metropolis to sell them, during the course of the day,
and when locked up in the station-house, although he
offered 6d. or ls. to any one who would tell his family
where he was, he was refused ; neither would the In-
spector on duty allow any refreshment to be brought
to him.
In reply to Sir C. Marshall, an officer said the regula-
tions at the station-house prohibited any refreshment
from being brought to the prisoners.
The worthy Alderman said this was monstrous. In
the present instance here was a poor man who had been
toiling all day to earn an honest livelihood, locked up
for 12 or 14 hours without food ; and after all this
he was found to be innocent. He (Sir C. Marshall) should
exert himself as much as possible to do away with such
a stringent order as this.
Sir CHAPMAN then handed the poor fellow half-a-
crown, who left the bar after thanking the worthy Al-
derman for his kindness and consideration.

PARLIAMENT and the CORN LAWS.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
MANCHESTER, SEPT. 10.—The subjoined requisition
to our Mayor has been signed by upwards of 1,000 of
our respectable firms in a few hours to-day, and the
public town's meeting will be held on Thursday. Surely
similar demonstrations ought to be called for from all
parts of the kingdom.
(Copy.)
TO THE WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR.
W?, the undersigned, respectfully request you to call
a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of
Manchester, for the purpose of considering the present
distressed state of the population of this town and neigh.
bourhood, and the alarming prospects of the approaching
winter, and the propriety of memorializing the Queen,
praying her Majesty not to prorogue the two Houses of
Parliament until they have entered upon a full consider-
ation of the Corn and Provision Laws, which, in the
opinion of the requsitionists, are the main causes of the
existing sufferings of the people.

SPLENDID PEACH.--_A specimen of the Mil-
lett's Mignonne Peach, was brought to our office on Sa-
turday last, newly gathered from a fine tree in•the gar-
den of W. Unett, Esq., of Vernwood, in this county.
This peach measured nearly a foot in girth, and weighed
nearly eleven ounces ! The luxuriance of the tree may
be judged from the fact, that it made a shoot of six fect
last year, from April to November.—Nottingham Chro-
nicle.
" Come out of the mud, you dirty creature, as
the pig said to the duck.

SUICIDE AND DREADFUL LOSS

OF LIFE.

This morning (Saturday), between the hours of ane
and two o'clock, a fearful accident, attended with cireutr:-
! stances of an extraordinary nature, occurred on the river
near Southwark-bridge, by which four persons lost their
lives. It appears that the Orion, a large iron steamer
which runs between London and Ipswich, and the Pearl,
a Gravesend steamer, were moored near Southwark-
bridge yesterday evening, after discharging their pas-
sengers, and soon afterwards several persons be-
~
longing to both vessels went ashore to spend the Al
evening at the George public-house, Bankside, and
play at skittles. They were accompanied by ti
person named John Clementson, residing at No.
2, Eagle-street, Ipswich, who possesses an indepen-
dent income of about 2001. a year, and was in the habit-
of voyaging between London and Ipswich for the benefit
of his health. Clementson, who was the cause of the
loss of life which subsequently took place, appeared in 9.
very low and desponding state, and told his friends i"
acquaint a female at Ipswich, when they returned, t'.lo
she would never see_ Robert any morn. At. u. later
hour he procured some laudanum, and swallowed s
small quantity of the drug, which his compAcioos
prevented taking effect by giving him emetics, brandy,
and other liquids. At half-past one o'clock Clementson
and six others, four of whom belonged to the Pearl'
and two to the Orion, proceeded to Bankside stairs; op-
posite the Welch Trooper public-house, where the
Pearl's boat was lying, for the purpose of returning t",
their vessels. Clementso.3 got into the boat which pushed
off, but they had not proceeded,more than 10 or 12 yards-
before Clementson rose from his seat and deliberately"
jumped overboard into the water. The other men im-
mediately got up at once, and leant over the boat, when
the sudden lurch capsized it, and they were all thrown
into the river. The tide carried them towards the
bridge ; their struggles were short, and they all perished.
The poor fellows on shore saw them drowning, and
could afford no assistance. There was no boat at the
stairs, and it was some time before any aid could be
procured. In about twenty minutes afterwards a boat
was lowered, and the drags used. The body of
Clementson was picked up and taken to the
Welch Trooper public house to await the Coroner's in-
quest. The bodies of the other unfortunate men have,
not been recovered. Their names are John Oxley and
Joseph Taunton of the Pearl, and Robert Clarkson of
the Orion. The boat was subsequently found bottom up-
wards
off Horselydown.

REPEAL OF THE UNION.
MR. O'CONNOR AND DR. COOKE.
TO THE REV. DR. COOKE, BELFAST.
REVEREND SlR,—Having learned, during my incar-
ceration in York Castle, that Mr. O'Connell declined
your challenge to discuss the merits of the Repeal of the
Union, and fearing that more importance than was fair
has been attached to his refusal, and knowing that a
handle has been made of it to the prejudice of the ques-
tion, and being in my heart a sincere advocate of the mea-
sure, I do hereby invite you to a free discussion on the
subject at Belfast, or at any other place which may better
suit your taste or convenience. Your acknowledged high
character leads me to believe that your sole object in
challenging Mr. O'Connell was prompted by a desire to
arrive at just conclusions after fair argument. In order
to accomplish so desirable a purpose, I have held myself
disengaged for the first week of October, the four firsts
days of which I submit to your judgment as the time for
entertaining the subject. All arrangements shall be left'
to you, as to the hour of meeting, the order of speaking.,f
and the time for adjournment. I merely require free a( t"
mission, the doers to be open one hour previous to CO
Chair being taken, the discussion to take place in - ;,hg
largest room that can be procured, that you appoint ono
Chairman, I another, and these two gentlethen s elect
an umpire, to whose judgment and final decision all dis-
puted points shall be referred. The following pi:oposi-
tion to be submitted, of which I undertake to prove
affirmative—" That the Repeal of the Legislative Union
between Great Britain and Ireland would, above any
other measure, tend to increase the wealth and develope'
the hitherto neglected resources of the latter country
that to a native Legislature alone can the Irish people 1001;
with certainty for domestic peace, and with confidencl°
for national aggrandizement and social improvement. jca
it we would recognise the only just and certain mew.' °
checking absenteeism, of improving morals, of adva"(
agriculture, of dispensing education, of prpt.cting tr ade,
and of
eiglhperpetuatingioum.,
a real bond of connection Wit 'a Our
English neighbours."
I have the honour, Reverend Sir, to remain,
Your obedient, humble servairt,
FEARGUS O'CONNOR.
London, September, 11, 1841.

TAM WORTH ELECTION,
TAMWORTH, EIGHT O'CLOCK, FRIDAY EVENING.
This evening a meeting of Sir Robert Peel's Election
Committee was held at the King's Arms Hotel, when
the following answer to the address from the electors of
Tamworth to the Right lion. Sir R. Peel was read by
the Chairman, Thomas Brarnall, Esq. :
" hihall, Sept.. 9, 1841.
" Sir---I have had the honour of receiving the address
to which your name is attached, conveying to me on the
part of a very great majority of the electors of Tamworth
their cordial congratulations on my recent appointment
to the first office in her Majesty's Government, find'
the expression of their desire to renew their confidence
in me as their representative without requiring my per-
sonal attendance on the occasion of the approaching
election.
con"slid:etmrateixonce.edingly grateful for this mark of their kind

" My own private feeling would be gratified by the op-
portunity of appearing in person to solicit the suffrages of
my late constituents, but as every moment of my time is oc-
cupied in the discharge of public duties, I will, under the,
special circumstances of the present period, avail myselt.
of the discretionary power which the address enableY
me to exercise, and placing my reliance on that confi-
dence and indulgence of which it is so decisive an indi-
cation, will venture to remain in London in the execu-
tion of the public trust assigned to me.—l have the ho-
nour to be, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant..
" ROBERT PEEL.

" To the Mayor of Tamworth."

LONGEVITY.—A poor Woman, named Mary
Chandler, upwards of 101 years of age, having been born
on the 3d of August, 1740, was admitted yesterday
into the union workhouse at Lewes. She had been in
the habit of walking from Lewes to Brighton and back,
a distance of sixteen miles, generally once a week, and
on Tuesday last walked over to see her friends at
Brighton previous to going into the house. The poor
creature, who seemed to feel very much her situation,
said it was a hard thing to be compelled to go into the
workhouse at her great age.
