CURIOUS LOCAL CUSTOMS.--In the parish of
• Warlingham, in Surrey, there is a custom which seems to re.
i fer to the rites performed in honour of Pomona. Early tit
the spring, the boys go round .to several orchards in the
parish, and whip the apple-trees, in order to procure a Oen-
tiful crop of fruit; and after having clone it, they carry a little
bag to the house, where the good woman gives them son e meal
or oatmeal. A tAbingdon, in Berkshire, the first Sunday en
which the new Mayor goes to church after his election, the peo-
ple of the town adorn the nutside of their\ houses with boughs
• of trees and garlands of !lowers, and the paths are strewed with
nishes. This ceremony is more particularly attended to in the
street where the Mayor happens to live, and his house is die-
tinguished by extraordinary decorations.
Some time since, that pnblic spirited Gentle,
man, Sir M. S. STEWART, employed Mr. Thom, engineer, to
survey the rivulets and springs in the vicinity of Grecnocli, to
ascertain if a supply of water could be brought into the town.
That able engineer has given in a report highly favourable
toe the scheme. A supply to any extent can be obtained
front the Shawn Water, and the fine fall of 500 feet, which
will result from the mode in which it is proposed to be con-
ducted to the vicinity of the town, will be of sufficient mag-
nitude for impelling the machinery of a number of new
manufactories, besides supplying those already established,
several of which were obliged to stop work this year for want 6f
water. From the warm interest taken in the plan by Sir
Michael and his factor, there Is every reason to believe that the
undertaking will be completed in the couise of next year.
Conms tees INQUEST.--An Inquest was held
yesterday before 111 r. limo's, Coroner for Westminster, at the
Red Lion, Crown-Court, Pall-mall, on the body of George Sil-
-1 velum Jas. Dimollne, of 3-I, Villiers-street, Strand, deposed
—Yesterday afternoon. about three o'clock, I was walking in
the Mall in St. James's:park, and was informed by some boys
that the deceased was in the water. I undressed, and dived
in, and succeeded in getting him out. • Many people assent.
bled, a blanket was procured, and the deceased was carried to
the Suttling.house, St. James's Palace. It was church-tithe.
and the house was closed. The landlord was told what lead
taken place, and, though animation was suspended, that if means
were used, the deceased might be restored. The landlord re-
plied---" that his was not a public-house, and he would not re-
ceive the body, and we might do our best and our worst." The
crowd told him the object we had in view was tq „save the life of
the deceased ; but he laughed at us. 'rime aas lost arguing with
hint, and we finally took the deceased to this house. 11r. J.
Marshall, 63, Jermyn,strcet, said, he was called to see the de.
ceased, and used means for three quarters of an hour to recover
him ; and he might have been restored bad not so much time been
previously lost by his being carried from one. public-house
to another. The body had been out of the water half an hour
betbre witness was called in. The 'Jul*, after some observa-
tions upon the conduct of the keeper of the Suttling-house, re-
turned a verdict-44 Accidentally Drowned;" and requested
the Coroner to write to the Board of Green Cloth, by whom the
Sutt ng-house is licensed, to inform the Board of the conduct
11
1 of the keeper of the 'house, and of their reprobation of it.—
' The Coroner said, that as every minute was of the greatest
consequence at such a time, he thought the landlord was very
blameable in refusing to admit the boy into his Jiouse, and pre-
mite(' to comply with the wishes of the Jury. • •
DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE.-00 Tuesday evert.
ing, about nine 'o'clock, a man knocked at the door of Mr.
Mountjoy, South Clarence-street, anti the servant having
incautiously opened the door, a number of ruffians gain-
ed entrance, and rushed up stairs to Mr. Alountjoy's bed-
room, armed with sticks, dragged hint from his bed into
the street, and assaulted him in a very cruel manaer.—
While these villains were thus occupied, another gang outside
broke the windows, and all instantly departed, after having
fired a shot, as it is supposed, front a:pistol. This attack,,
so shocking to human nature, is, it seems; the result
of combination. Mr. Mountjoy is a roaster-builder, em-
ploys a man named Delany, whom the trade designate ,
a colt, and the ferocious assault committed is a speci-
men in the way of Captain lock's administration' of justice,
which cannot be put down or punished with too much expedi.
tion. This disgraceful act, however, should induce servants
not to open doors in retired streets, without taking the precau.
tion of leaving the door on chain until the visitor is recog.
nized.—( Dublin Corrnpandeni, Sept. 23.)

The, following infamous ket ~of cruelty and
oppression- we insert on the authority of a respectable cot.
respondent; but we hope, for the honour of humanity, it is
untrue :---A few days since, a fellow, with whose name we
are unacquainted, who, it appears, obtains his livelihood by
prowling about and pouncing on .the unwary, met the well-
known Simon Solomon, then in his. IlOth year, who, for these 40
years past, must have been familiar to our citizens of Bath, by
the little box of trinkets he constantly , carried under his arm.
This wretch, it appears, demanded his license, which the
poor fellow, from his extreme..PovertY, had been unable:
to procure. He then, with the molt unfeeling brutality,
dragged the poor old man up' to', the Guildhall, where lie
was, for the first time in-' his life locked up .as a crimi..
g.
nal. On being released, he actually pawned alt his little -
five. shillings, to Purchase a license. This sudden wreck of
his little property, together with the disgraceful treatment
-.
twenty'. stock of merchandize, not exceedin in value
which occasioned it, so preyed upon his mind, that although
in the regular enjoyment of good health, It from that time be.
gar rapidly to decline, be soon took to his bed, and survived
the above melancholy circumstance only one week !._(Bath
