egIMIMAL INFORMATION.

Mr. GARRow moved for leave to file a Criminal
Information against Peter. Thorn, Thomas Kentish,
and Rbbert Walters, for acts of
,great inhumanity,
,as ;Wedged in the Affidavit, in, the removal of a
Pauper who ~vas a Lunatic, and in such a state of
health as to make it highly probable that his re-
moval, under all the circumstances of it, would be
The cause of his death. They were to remove him
from Ealing, in Middlesex, to Dunmow in Essex,
. upwards of 4.0 miles, but were stopt by the way, by
the humanity of some persons of West Ham, where
the Lunatic now is, and he, beyond all hopes, and
Contrary to all expectations, begins to recover.
The substance of the Affidavit being stated, and
its being observed that this was au uncommon
case, similar to that which took place at Green-
wich some years ago, in which the Court fined the
Parishes about 7001. &c.

Lord ELLTNBORovtax observed, that although
the condition of the offending party was not con.
siderable in life, a point which the Court generzliy
looked to in applications of this sort, yet the enor.
wiry of the offence charged was such as required
this•extraordinary interference of the Court. •
• Rule to, stew cause granted.

Saturday night last, or early on-S—unday morning,
as some 'fishermen in a boar were. casting their nets
for mackarel,-2 about half seas over between Dover
and Calais, they observed a very lare fish breaking
through their nets, and destroying s the mackat el
therein—at length they perceived that it had got so
much entangled, that it could not disengage itself,
at which time a small sloop came dp to them,
to buy fish, when they, told the men belonging to
the same that a large porpoise had got into their
net and done much damage. A boat then went to
the place pointed out, and. tot their great surprize
discovered that what they supposed to be a porpoise,
wai a whale, which was then nearly dead and float-
ing on the surface of the water, quite exhausted
with struggling to disengage itself from the net ;
with much difficulty they succeeded in fastening
ropes round it, whose weight was so great; that those
which were first fastened broke in endeavouring to
weigh it.up, at last they accomplished their end by
towing it into Ramsgate Harbour. The length of
this enormous fish (which is supposed to be of that
eeies of whale called the bottle-nose) is about
thirty feet from the tip of the nose to the extremity
of the tail, and it measures in circumference between
17 and 18 feet, is conjectured to be a young one, as
the teeth (of which there are three or-four rows)
are very small. On Monday morning it was towed
on shore on the sands, at some distance from the
Bathing !Worn.

On Monday afternoon David Michaels, a Jew,
went to see Michael Michaels, his brother, who is
under senence of death in Newgate, for uttering
coUnterfeit silver ; after making some apology -for
not seeing. him sooner, he presented half -a guinea
to him, when the atrocious villain ripped up his
belly with a .knife in so, shocking a manner, that he
is not expected to live, though he was immediately
taken to St. Baetholomew's Hospital. The cruel
.wretch was immediately confined to his cell, where
he will remain until theßecorder shall make his re-
port of the cony ifts under sentence of death in New-
gate.
Tuesday night about nine o'clock a most alarm,
ing riot broke out at a public house kept by a native
of the -island of Candia, of the name of Lear, in
Black Horse Yard ,in East Smithfield, by a party of
English sailors, because he harboured several-Greek
sailors' in his house who had been in the English
service_during the war, waitit an opportunity to
,return- home in English Vessels, and work them
without any remuneration. The English sailors
judging this to militate against their interest, went
in a large body to the house, destroyed a great deal
,• of the liquors in the bar, .and beat the inoffensive
Greeks in a cruel manner ; soon after measures were
• taken to prevent a repetition of such excesses.
The highest praise that can be given to Mr.
Upton's last produaion, the Hero of Switzerland,
the gallant William Tell, is to say, that the Royal
Amphitheatre is nightly honoured with crowded
• audiences to behold it,' whose applause bespeaks the
pleasure this pathetic Speffacle is capable of pro-
ducing. The charming Pantorninie of the Seven
Champions, with the new Divertisement of Fiats
and Sharps, is to be repeated this night, with a va-
riety of other Entertainments.
The Horsemanship of Miss Satinders, sister to
the celebrated Master Saunders, -and her performance
'on the Slack Wire, together with the wonderful
' Equestrian Feats of Master Saunders, which he ex-
hibited before Their Majesties at the recent Fete at
Frogmore; and the Spring Meeting, with the much
applauded Poney Races; added to those universally
esteemed produ&ions, The Fatal Predilion, or.
Midnight Assassin, and the Enchanted Harp, prove
such powerful attraftions as not to leave a vacant
spot each evening throughout the Royal Circus.
The celebrity of Steel's fragrant Lavender and
Honey Waters, are so well established among the
Fashionable Circles, &c. as leave us little •to
,offer in
recommendation ; but interested individuals'some-
times render public caution requisite ; hence in or.
der to procure' those articles of fine quality 'and 're-
duced price, it is necessary to be particular in di-
reaing to J. C. Steel, Lavender Water Merchant to
Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, No. 15,
Catherine-street, Strand, where the Nobility, &c.
wishing to avail themselves of the certainty of
having those esteemed and elegant Waters of his
genuine preparation, are' requested to forward their
favours. But we must add, that Letters from the
Country must contain a Note or Order for payment
in London, as from the extreme low prices, they
• are entirely ready money articles.
