MANSION HousE.—A private examinati-m took
place yesterday before the LORD MA voR, (ill if charge
exhibited by a Mr. Wiseman; a tayior, against a
Gentleman for assaulting him on Wednesday night,
Mr. Wiseman toll his Lord,litp that he was pass_
ing through Whitechapel when he saw the Prisoner,
in company with two other men and ie. worn ; he
looked particularly at the woman, when the Prisoner
desired him to walk off. He however not stir,
and he was struck a violent blow with a tuck
stick, and the companions assisted. in assaulting
hz escaped from them and ran off. The Prisoner
pursued hink„ and charged him with srealizg his
watch. Wiseman then charged him with the a,sault,
and they were ultimately conveyed to the C...mpeer.
This was the evidence of Mr. Wiseman, which was
confirmed by several witnesses. Tile Pt isoner
said that the complainant had been very imperti-
neut ; and admitted that he had just touched him
with the stick. He said that he had lost his watch,
which cost him
.70 guineas ; he said he was the
real General JOUB E kT, and that he was not dead ;
that he was the friend of the First Consul, and
had been so from his youth. He appeared to be
and his Lordship treated him with the
greatest humanity, observing, that it was requisite
that he should he remanded for the present, as "
the business required further investigation. The
Prisoner had all the appearance of a Gentleman, and
in his possession were found a pair of scissars and a
saw-knife, which lie said he used to cut off the spurs
of cocks. There were also several letters about
his person, addressed to some of the first i ersonages
in the kingdom. He complained much of the treat-
ment he had experienced in the Compter, and said
they would not give him any breakfast. He had,
during the night, cut off all his hair, and appeared
quite bald. Several Gentlemen attendee who re- •
cognized him. There was a paper found in his
pocket-book as a receipt for zo!. to fight Belcher,
and he said he had cut his hair off for that purpose.
He was then remanded for the present to the New
Compeer, in Giltspur-streer. It appears that his
condua in the Compeer was such as 'to induce them
to have further assistance.

PLIZLIC-OFF ICE,SHADWELL.-A few days since
a case of a mysterious nature came to be h-•ard be..
fore the Magistrates, against the Master of :t Ship in
the American Trade, bound to Balt:more in Vic_
girtia, in which murder was committsd. As far as
the evidence went, it appeared the ship left Lyrn-
ington Roads, consisting of Americans, Germans,
and one Englishman, forming the complement oft he
ship for navigating her, besides four Passengers,
three females and a male, all natives of England, go-
ing to America.
The voyage lasted forty-three day;. When in the
chops of the Chesapeak, in America, Josqm
the First Mate,'during supper went !rum table upon
deck, and struck the Officer seCon.l to him, whereupon •
a general confusion took place on board the vessei.sup-
posed to have originated in contending for ;he ravcur
of the ladies. The Chid Mate, Joseph White, tv:s
found -murdered in consequence of This irrego• .rity,
who, it seemed, was shot • after that, a tem ias-
senger flung herself overboard. The c)(1), of J,)sepq
White was found shot through the he4rt, atL the
bottom of the steerage, about three o'cio:k in the
morning. The Corotwr's Jury, at Balti,norr, g:ive
a' verdict of Wiiful Muider, but could not a,certain
by whom.

TH Am.Es Po I. c E.—Wednesday a Foreigner of the
name of Smith was examined on a-charge Of assault-
ing another lioreigne—r, as also with being guilty of
i‘lxtortion. It appeared that the Prisoner %vas in
the habit cf bringing Seamen who had been Ling
voyages, to his house, as soon as they land, ano
fleecing them in the most unrlenting manner.—
The complainant had only been fouit days in the
house of the Prisoner, when he brought a bid agaislst
him for upwards of 41. which the —sailor paid ; but
having complained of the unreasonabientss of the
charge, the Prisoner gave him several blows, in
which he -was seconded by another person in his
house, and turned him out of door's Without per.:
mitting him to take away his chest.
Smith was detained for the assault, arid that he
may bc-reported.at the -Secretary of State's Office,
under the Alien Aft, :is well as the person who
assisted him in maltreating the Prosecutor.
Saturday last, Andrew Kelly, a sailor belonging
to the American Ship Boston, Capt. John. Salter,
,now lying in the Dock at Hull, fell into the
and pitching with his head upon the fluke of an
anchor, he was taken up senseless, and conveyed to
the infirmary ; but we are happy to hear there are
great hopes of his recovery..
On Friday evening last, a serious AI-ay took place
in the Duke of York public.house, in.Myton-gate,
Hull, in which Charles Western, a Sailor, who had
been drinking there during the day, ‘Vas very
much intoxicated, was so ill treated that his life is
