GUILDHALL.

Yesterday Robert Hambridge, collecting clerk to Messrs.
John Baker and Co., silk manufacturers, Cheapside, was
re-examined before Mr. Alderman Scholey, charged with
embezzling on the 22d ult. a 301. note, which he received
from the Bank of England on account of his employers in
exchange for a bank post bill.
The Prisoner was committed for trial.
William Hobrow, a letter-founder in the service of Mr.
Thorogood, attended before Mr. Alderman Scholey to
answer a complaint of his employer for going away and
leaving his work unfinished.
The Defendant had obtained money in advance to the
amount of 1/. 145., and it was urged that receiving the
money, though without any specific agreement, constituted
a contract to perform labour to that amount, that it was
not a loan of money but a payment of wages.
The defendant replied that there was a custom in the
trade to give fourteen days warning, and having complied
with this custom he had a right to absent himself. The
work could be finished as well by other hands as he could
have done it, and he intended to repay the money.
It was decided that the defendant having given the usual
warning the statute did not apply to his case, and the de-
fendant was discharged.

Yesterday morning, the King took his accustomed drive in
his pony phaeton. In the afternoon his Majesty gave audience
to the Baron Ompteda, the Hanoverian Minister, who arrived
from town about two o'clock.
The Queen enjoyed her favourite horseback exercise for
some hours after luncheon, attended by Earl Howe, Lady
Clinton, and others of the Royal Suite.
A grand archery meeting was held yesterday at the cavalry
barracks at Spittal, which was attended by all the nobility and
gentry of the neighbourhood. The King, whose considerate
kindness is manifested on every occasion, had given orders that
the splendid Tippoo Saib tents should be lent to the officers
for the occasion, and they were accordingly pitched on the lawn
in front of the barracks. The largest of these tents is capable
of accommodating nearly 200 people. At the close of the toxia-
philite amusements a party of 140 persons at down to dinner
in the principal tent, and in the evening the officers gave a
grand ball to the rest of the company who had attended the
archery.

BO W-STREET.

THE POOR LAWS AMENDMENT ACT.—Yesterday a very
fine-looking old woman, named Elizabeth Withers, was in-
troduced to the notice of the bench by a lady of great re-
spectability, whose name, at her own particular request, we
refrain from mentioning, under the following curious cir-
cumstances :

The lady stated that her friend, the woman who stood
beside her, was upwards of 100 years of age, having been
born in the same year with George 111. Sh kept the pub-
lic-house now called the Marquis of Anglesey, nearly oppo-
site the office in Bow-street, then called the Green Man,
for thirty-five years, and consequently had a claim upon the
parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden. Falling into distress
she was compelled to sell the house and everything she had
in the world, and became a pauper upon the parish, from
which she was allowed Is. 6d. per week until the new Poor
Laws came into operation, when she was informed that she
could no longer receive that sum, but must go into the house.
She felt greatly hurt at this intimation and refused to go
into the workhouse, and hence the present application.
Mr. HALLS greatly regretted that he had no power to
grant assistance. No one could look at the poor but fine-
looking old creature before him, without a strong feeling of
commiseration ; but what could he do ? The Act of Par-
liament completely deprived him of the power to do as he
would wish in such a case.
The lady who accompanied Mrs. Withers stated that,
taking a peculiar interest in the case of her aged and re-
spectable " client, she had perused the Act of Parliament
very carefully, and she thought that the 27th clause em-
powered two Justices to give " relief" to persons who, from
age or otherwise, were unable to procure subsistence.
Mr. HALLS, upon a careful perusal of the Act of Parlia-
ment, particularly of that portion of it which bore upon the
present case, was sorry to say that he could render no aid
whatever to the applicant. According to his own construc-
tion of the word " relief," and taking the context of the
clause altogether, he was of opinion that it meant food only,
and was not meant to apply to money to be given by way
of weekly allowance out of the workhouse. At the same
time, said Mr. HALLS, I feel myself bound to say that this is
in all probability one of the cases which the framers of the
Poor Law Bill had not contemplated. The worthy magis-
trate then wrote a note to the parish officers, requestingtheir
.'ention to the case of the unfortunate applicant, and sug-
at. • the propriety of an appeal to the Commissioners un-
gestint, N. Laws, who might, perhaps, be induced to re-
der the Po. There was a circumstance mentioned in the
lax a little, 'ration which gave additional interest to
course of the invest,,,"o made the application said that

Mrs. Withers' daughter, who was upwards of 60 years of
age, and had worked from childhood at Mr. Bywater's, an
upholsterer in Oxford-street, had been the main support of
her mother for a great many years past.
A young man of respectable appearance, named Ray,
was charged with committing an extensive robbery on Messrs.
Alston, Mather, and Co., merchants at Glasgow.
Ruthven, an officer of this establishment, from informa-
tion he had received, had reason to believe that the prisoner
had absconded from the employ of the above firm, carrying
away upwards of 7001. On his person witness found 52/.,
a gold watch and chain, a powder-flask full of powder, and
two pistols loaded with ball. Ruthven further stated that
he apprehended the prisoner in the Waterloo-road, and
when he was in custody he conducted witness to a back-
room in a house, where he opened a portmanteau and
handed him a cash-box out of it, containing 691/. in gold.
In another place was a 50/. note, and four 101. notes of the
Bank of England. The whole sum found was upwards of 800/.
The Magistrates asked the prisoner whether he wished
to say anything to the charge ? The prisoner at present
should not offer any explanation.
He was ordered to be remanded for a week.

It was stated that the prisoner had taken his passage for
Sydney, and had paid 501. to the Captain of the vessel for
his berth.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
COMMITTAL OF THE WESTMINSTER COINERS.—Wi/-
liam Page, one of the most notorious coiners in Westmin-
ster, and Mary Edwards, a young female, were brought up
for final examination before Mr. BURRELL, charged with coin-
ing counterfeit half-crowns at a house, No. 47, in Orchard-
street, Broadway, Westminster.
The case excited considerable interest, as the house where
the prisoners were apprehended is supposed to be the grand
depot for the base coin lately circulated to an alarming ex-
tent about Westminster and the suburbs of London. Out-
side the office there were no less than thirty well-known
utterers of base coin.

The prisoners were apprehended last week by Mr. Balu-
ster, one of the inspectors of the B. division, and police
constable Goose. They, broke open the back-room door
on the second floor at the house No. 57, Orchard-street,
and found Page with a mould for maxing half-crowns, hot
metal on the fire in a pipkin, and all the other implements
and materials for coining. A desperate scuffle ensued, and
one man who was in the room escaped. The other prisoners
were secured. Near the fire-place, and amongst the ashes,
thirteen base half-crowns were found, some of them quite
hot, as if just turned out of the mould.
Mr. Field, the Inspector of the Mint, was sworn, and
proved that all the half-crowns produced were counterfeit.
Mr. BURRELL committed them both for trial.

HATT ON-GARDEN.

Yesterday Mr. darke,a master baker, residing at No.l,
Baker-street, Bag,nigge Wells-road, was brought to this
office on a warrant, charged before Mr:-Rogers and Mr.
Sellon, by Mr. Thomas Starling, of Wilmington-square,
Clerkenwell, the Foreman of the Leet Jury for the manor
of St. John of Jerusalem, with having assaulted him in the
execution of his duty. _

Mr. ROGERS said that the duty of the Leet Jury was a
very disagreeable duty, though an important one to the
public, and he for one would not suffer them to be molested
or interrupted in the lawful execution of their duty. An
assault had been committed, and he should order him (the
defendant) to find bail.

MARYLELIONE.
Thomas Humphreys was charged with assaulting Mr.
Ash Abrahams, a parish constable of St. Pancras.
The complainant stated that on the ..previous evening,
about nine o'clock, he saw the prisoner, who was rather
tipsy, haranguing a mob of persons in Osnaburgh-street,
Regent's-park, on the subject of the New Poor Law Bill.
Witness, conceiving it to be a tissue of nonsense, went up
and advised him to move away, upon which he caught hold
of witness's collar, and would not release it till a policeman
came up, who took him to the station-house.
The prisoner, who said he was sorry for what he had
done, was allowed to make the complainant satisfaction for
the assault, which he did in the shape of the current coin of
the realm, and the parties then retired.

light since the first appearance of the work, which has been most
materially improved by these corrections and additions, and yet the
price has been reduced nearly one half. Several new illustrations

rrHE EIGHTH and LAST VOLUME of the
JIL LIFE and POEMS of the REV. GEORGE CRABBE.
This volume (which completes the work) consists of entirely new
and original Poems, never before published, and is embellished
with a Portrait of the Author, from an original Painting by Thomas
Phillips, R A., and a Vignette, after Stanfield.
There are, in my recess at home, where they have been long
undisturbed, another series of stories--in number and quantity
sufficient for a volume ; and as I suppose they are much like the
former in execution, and sufficiently different in events and charac-
ters, they may hereafter, in peaceable times, be worth something
to you ; and the more, because I shall, whatever is mortal of me,
be at rest in the chancel of Trowbridge church ; for the works of
authors departed are generally received with some favour, partly as
they are old acquaintances, and in part because there can be no
more of them. "—Mr. Crabbe to his Son George, dated Clifton,

POLICII INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOU USE.
, Y'..isterilay a poor woman, named Butler, applied to the
i.ord Mayor to direct the police to render her assistance in
searching for her child, a little girl about five years of age.
The mother was evidently in an almost distracted state.
She stated that the little girl was small for her age and
backward in her speech, was rather pitted with the small-
pox, had blue eyes, and was of a fair complexion, and had
on a half-mourning cotton frock, much washed, a blue pin-
afore, half-boots, but no stockings, and would answer to the
name of Fanny Butler.
The LORD MAYOR said that probably the newspapers
would, from their well-known humanity, take notice of the
application, and he should give instructions to the police
upon the subject.
Mrs. Butler said that her child had been missing since
the 23d of August, and must have wandered from the house
of her parents in Pear Tree-court, near the church, Shore-
ditch. The most horrible forebodings possessed the minds
of father and mother, who had searched everywhere in vain,
sent about handbills describing the child, and incurred other
expenses, which they were unable to pay.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

An inquisition was last night taken at the Swan, Vaux-
hall-bridge-road, before Mr. Higgs, on the body of Rebecca
Rick, aged 15, who committed suicide. Mrs. Bela Braith-
waite, No. 10, Off-alley, Strand, deposed that on Tuesday
night last, about 8 o'clock, the deceased, who lived at No.
2, Carey-place, Vauxhall-bridge-road, with her father and
mother-in-law, called for a chair which belonged to her
father. 'Witness refused to give it her, considering it too
heavy for her. The deceased trembled very much, and ap-
peared worked up to a state of desperation, while the tears
were streaming down her cheeks. Witness asked her what
was the matter. She replied, " Oh, Mrs. Braithwaite, I
have a deal to tell you ; I am so ill-used by my mother-in-
law." Witness then went to her father, who works in Broad-
street, Carnaby-market, and is a compo-maker, to know what
she had been doing. The deceased accompanied her, and
she, upon seeing her father, said, " For God's sake, father,
do for the last time say to my aunt what I have done."
She then stated that the usage of her mother-in-law was cruel
towards her. Nothing was alleged against her by him.
When they parted she entreated witness to let her go
home with her, which witness could not permit. On sepa-
rating from witness she said, " Oh 1 it is Ruth (her mother-
in-law) I dread, but I will dread her no more." On Sun-
.day last she went to a situation at a linendraper's, in the
Vauxhall-bridge-road, but was discharged the next day, in
consequence of not having sufficient clothing. She was in
a back place for one week, when she did not see her father.
On Tuesday night, when she got home, she was offered a
basin of broth, which she was not ab'e to drink, when her
father said, " Get out of my s4ht." She went away, and
was never seen any more. The diceased's mother-in-
law told witness this. The body of the deceased was
found on Wednesday morning at eleven o'clock by the
Equitable Gas Factory in the sewer. It was then partly
warm. Verdict—" That the deceased drowned herself,
being at the time in a state of temporary derangement,
accelerated by the unfeeling conduct of her parents."

A KILBIRNIE SHOT

On Tuesday week, while a gentleman was in quest of
game on the Kilbirnie moors, his dog made a dead "point,
and in due season a brace of grouse was flushed. The birds
rose at the same instant, but fifteen yards apart to the right
and left of the sportsman, mark ye. Instantly up went the
deadly engine, (the birds continuing to fly at least as far
separate as when they rose,) the shooter took aim at the
fugitive on his right only—bang went the shot from one
barrel alone, and, will it be credited ?—down fell both the
grouse as dead as mutton—the one mortally hit, but on the
other not a feather was rumpled, or the slightest visible
wound inflicted! and, when the distance betwixt the de-
funct birds was measured, as they lay on the heath, it was
found to be exactly fifteen yards ! When the bird which
had not been shot at was lifted, blood was observed to be
oozing from its bill, and we think probably the poor crea-
ture died from the bursting of a blood-vessel caused by ex-
cessive fear ; and no wonder, for had even a more philoso-
phical biped been in its right perilous situation, lie would
no doubt have been " feared too." We •have not received
a particular description of the piece used on the above me-
morable occasion—but, assuming for argument's or joke's
sake, that the aim was fairly taken at the right hand bird,
and that some straggling drop brought down the one on
the left, though the wound was not discovered, then it fol-
lows that the barrel must have scattered to the extent of
only thirty yards, a distance by no means to be sneezed at
as barrels go. now-a-days. However, if the gun in question
be aught related to the well-known Dublin one, now used
for " shooting round corners," we need not be surprised at
any feat accomplished with it. Should such a. perplexing
incident ever occur, either in Kilbirnie parish or elsewhere,
we would strongly recommend that both birds be sent to
our care for dissection, as we 'have in our eye a medical
friend particularly expert in those matters, who would, with
our aid, be able to give a very satisfactory report on the
matter.—Ayr Observer.

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday Mr. John Stead, the engineer belonging to
the Greenwich Railroad Company, was charged with assault-
ing John Bull, one of the waiters at the St. Helena Ta-
vern, at Rotherhithe. _ _

The waiter stated that on Sunday evening last a gentle-
man was brought to the St. Helena, having been taken out
of a ditch, into which he had fallen in the vicinity of the
house, and within a short distance of the railroad. The
gentleman was nearly smothered with mud and duck-weed,
and while the servants were engaged in cleansing and mak-
ing him comfortable after such a disagreeable accident, Mr.
Stead walked into the house. He gave vent to expressions
of reproach to Mr. Howard, the landlord, whom he blamed
as the principal cause of the accident in not joining the
Railroad Company, and gettini, the ditches filled up, in-
stead of leaving them open. The words at length became so
high, that Mr. Howard requested the defendant to leave
the house, but this refused to do, and still continued to
abuse the landlord, who had given directions to the ser-
vants to attend on the gentleman who had fallen into the
ditch. The defendant at length became so offensive, that
his departure from the house was insisted on, and he then
attacked John Bull, hit him right and left, and, being a
powerful man, soon got him down, and, falling upon him,
nearly bruised him to death by his weight.
John Bull said that he acted as constable as well as
waiter on occasions, and although he took out his staff, yet
that he did not use it, not having a chance to do so.
The defendant said that John Bull struck him on the
head with his staff, and made it bleed.
Mr. Howard confirmed John Bull's evidence as to the
assault committed on that person by Mr. Stead.
The defendant admitted that he complained of the im-
propriety of leaving a ditch open so near a place of such
resort, and he was told that he deserved to be put into it
himself. He felt indignant at the expression, and might
have used some warm language, but he had no sooner done
so, than John Bull commenced a furious attack upon him,
and broke his head with a bludgeon.

The magistrates inflicted a fine of 10s. on the defendant

R. SCOTT'S BILIOUS,.,and...LIVF,R
The AStonishing efficacy of 'Or. Scott's Bilious and Liver
Pills,in affections of the Stomach and Flead, have gained them the
highest recommendation of Dr. Holland, Dr. Davis, and many
other eminent physicians. One or two pills, a short time after
taking them, exert a peculiarly specific action on the Liver, remove
I3ile, Indigestion Wind, Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Ileada.che,
Heartburn. Elatulencies, Spasms, Giddiness, Languor, and Depres-
sion of Spirits.
They were constantly administered, with unfailing success, by
Dr. Scott, both in India and England ; and are prepared, without
any mercurial ingredient, from the recipe of that well-known emi—

TAIT'S MAGAZINE.

The English Opium Eater continues his biographi-
cal sketch of Coleridge in this number. The memoir
is as full of anecdote as ever, but there is none so good
as the " rich and rare" one about the poet's father and
the lady's silk gown, which we quoted last month.
The little episode about " Mary of Buttermere" scarcely
needed to be repeated, for every one is familiar with it
who has ever visited—and who has not ?—the Lake
district, or ever read any of its numerous guide books.
Mr. de Quincey, though an idolater of Coleridge's ge-
nius, yet is by no means blind to his eccentricities,
which he dilates on in a spirit of sportive malice
that betrays in every line a keen sense of the ri-
diculous. " George Fox and his Disciples" is
an animated account of the Rise and Progress of
the Society of Friends, by William Howitt, who
himself is an eminent member of that influential
fraternity. The article is, of course, highly panegyrical,
but not unduly so. " Panurge in England" is an at-
tempt to revive the broad, grotesque mannerism, which
is inimitable, of Rabelais. We cannot compliment
the author on his success, for he has attempted a task
which is above his capacity. " West Country Excur-
sions" is a clever, satirical sketch, in which the powers
of ridicule are well applied. " The Unstamped Press
in England" is a sensible business-like article. We
have no space for extracts.

METROPOLITAN EDITION OF INSTRUMENTAL
AND VOCAL MUSIC.

THE first portion of this New CATALOGUE
is this day published, and ready for delivery by all respect-
able Music-sellers. It comprises a careful selection of the most
popular and novel Compositions for the Piano-forte. The Plates
strictly corrected, printed in• the most excellent manner, and pre-
sented to the public on terms corresponding with the altered cir-
cumstances of the times, in many instances at less than one half
the usual prices. This measure has been adopted in conformity to'`
a Resolution passed at a General Meeting of •the Trade, and also
at the instance of a considerable number of Professors'of the first
respectability ; and it is hoped will offer- an, acceptable encourage-
ment to the more genera/ 'cultivation of the Art, and Science of
Music.
