BOW-STREET.

Yesterday Wm. Stedman, the driver of the cabriolet No.
5, was summoned before Mr. MINSHULL for having by
furious drivinc, severely injured and endangered the life of
Wm. Spittall, a poor deaf and dumb boy.
Mr. Deane, a gentleman residing in Holborn, at whose
instance and expense the summons was taken out, deposed
that on Monday last he was in Long-acre, when he saw the
defendant, with the porter of one of tile hotels in the
neighbourhood in his cab, driving at a most tremendous
rate, so as to excite the attention of the passengers, several
of whom, as well as the witness, called out to him to stop.
He was at that moment on the wrong side of the road,
and the deaf and dumb boy, who was crossing at the time,
was knocked down with tremendous force and severely in-
jured in the back, shoulders, and chest, and one of the
wheels passed over his legs. He had a box on his head
at the time, and if the defendant had been on his right
side, the occurrence would not have happened. The de-
fendant descended from the cab, and went over to the boy,
who was motionless, and from his being unable to speak,
witness thought he was dead. He told the defendant to
stop and render assistance, but he jumped into his cab again
and drove off, but not until his number had been taken.
The porter told witness that he had just before cau-
tioned the defendant not to drive at so furious a rate, or
mischief would occur, but he drove on at the same rate.

The poor boy described by motions which were inter-
preted by his brother-in-law the conduct of the defendant.
The defendant had nothing to say, and was fined 31., and
in default was committed for three weeks to the House of
Correction.

LAMBETH- STREET.

PLEDGING' A WOODEN LEG FOR GlN.—Mary Brown,
a pauper, belonging to the hamlet of Mile-end Old Town,
was charged with creating a violent uproar and disturbance
in the workhouse of the hamlet.
It appeared that the prisoner, who has a wooden leg,
and walks with crutches, has been for several years an in-
mate of the above workhouse ; and her temper is of that
violent description, that she is the terror of all the inmates,
particularly the females of the establishment. Some time
since she was allowed to go out for a day ; and having
gone to the neighbourhood of Kingsland to see a friend,
and met with one of her old pot companions there, she hav-
ing no money about her, took off her wooden leg, and
pledged it at a pawnbroker's for three shillings, and got
gloriously drunk with the money. But notwithstanding
this, and the loss of her wooden pin, she managed to hobble
home to the workhouse, when, as usual, she kicked up a
regular row. The parish officers subsequently redeemed
the leg, and on a promise. of better conduct, restored it to
her ; and, in consequence of her conduct she was not al-
lowed outside the walls of the poor-house for some time,
but as soon as she did get out, she a second time pawned
the wooden leg for a shilling, which she spent in gin.
Mr. Vallence, (one of the overseers,) and the master of
the workhouse, spoke of the conduct of the prisoner gene-
rally as being of the most incorrigible description, and par-
ticularly to her creating a great disturbance in the work-
house on the day before, and she was committed for twen-
ty-one days to the House of Correction.
When leaving the justice-room, the prisoner swore lus-
tily that on her return she would carve. some of them out.

HACKNEY CARRIAGES.

......--_
Last night there was— a Meeting of Hackney Carriage
Proprietors, at the Bedford Arms, Charlotte-street, Bed-
ford-vpiare, for the purpose of agreeing to certain rules and
regulations drawn up by a Committee of Proprietors, to
set forth various grievances to which they have been re-
cently subjected, and to PStabliSh a Society for their gene-
ral protection.
Mr. Nomits (Mr. Faulkener declining) having been
called to the chair; called the attention of the meeting to
the object - for which they were assembled. A Committee
had prepared a series of rules tvliich would be submitted
for their consideration ; they were, however, introduced
with the fallowing declaratory statement :—That a Society
of Hackney Carriage Proprietors be formed, and caht:.4
" The Metropolitan Hackney Carriage Proprietors' So-
ciety." That the objects of the Society shall be to pro-
tect the interests of the Hackney Carriage Propritors,
members of such Society, and to maintain by all
legal means their rights and privileges ; and that the
Society be governed by certain rules and regulations :
The purport of them was the formation of a Society to pro-
tect their body against Megal and vexatious proceedings.
Not merely to be limited to their vindication against recent
outrages, but also to commence with Members in the event
of any Parliamentary business requiring such attention and
interference, or to prepare and present petitions should they
be requisite. But it would be obvious that either their vin-
dication in Courts of Law, or their defence and protection
in Parliament, would be attended with expenses ; for that
purpose the • rules proposed that the society, if formed,
should raise a fund, and that such fund should be formed by
subscription of Is. a month for each plate.—(Cheers.) It
was absolutely requisite that something should be done, for
the seizures that had taken place, and the proceedings that
were in progress, were absolute hindrances of the business,
and hindrances that might increase.
Mr. JOSEPH CLARK went at great length into a case
where his coach and horses were seized and carried to the
green-yard, bechuse his coachman refused to move off a stand 1
in Oxford-street, according to the orders of the Marylebone
authorities, who have a local Act empowering them thus to
remove hackney-coaches.
Several other Hackney masters stated similar cases of
seizure in various districts. Mr. Chitty,'s opinion upon
• the legality of such proceedings, was then read. It was to
this effect :—" A question has arisen whether, under any
of the local Mary-le-bone Acts, the beadle of the parish or
a policeman, or, in fact, any one person, has a right to
seize a cab and carry it to the green-yard, without having
requested the driver to move on, &c. 'The cab

CURIOUS ROBBERY.

On Sunday last an extensive robbery was effected in the
house of Mr. W. Hird, Crown and Cushion, in this town
(Hull). Saturday Henry Byron and John Leach Ore•

mitted the theft, in concert with another man who had P°

Mr. Hird stated, that on Sunday forenoon, the prisonerl

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

Yesterday William Sutton, a middle-aged man, very
diminutive and very ugly, was brought before Mr. CHAM-
BERS, charged by Mr. Simpson, builder, Shepherd's-market,
with having been found in his house the over night.
The complainant on more than one occasion has had to
bring the defendant to this office in consequence of his im-
pudent conduct in taking every opportunity to get into
the house 'to visit his daughter, a married female, who,
however, has lately separated from her husband. The de-
fendant had no visible means of subsistence, but complain-
ant had substantial reasons for suspecting that his daughter
supplied the defendant with funds obtained in an indirect
way from him. On Wednesday night last, after his family
had retired to bed, one of the lodgers came to his room and
said he was certain that his daughter had got some man in
her bedroom. Complainant instantly went to his daughter's
chamber, and, on gaining admittance, searched about for
some time without success. Knowing, however, from the
insignificant stature of the defendant (he not being much
larger than a full grown monkey) that it would not be
very difficult to conceal him, he pulled off the bedclothes
and bed, and found the defendant concealed between the
sacking and mattrass. Complainant wished the Magistrate
to inflict such a punishment as would deter the defendant
from again coming to his house.
The little defendant looked very indignant at the pro-
posal of a penny cane.
Mr. CHAMBERS said he would hold the little man to
bail, if he thought it would be followed up • but as the com-
plainant refused to prosecute when he held him to bail on
a former occasion he should not do any thing in the matter.
The defendant was discharged.

LYCEUM THEATRE.

L'Auberge des Adrets, a piece which has had the most
extraordinary success in Paris, chiefly owing to the perform-
ance of Lemaitre in its prominent part, was last night pro-
duced at this house. We can bear testimony to the merits
of the actor and to the attractions of the melo-drama. The
latter has beer► translated for the London boards, and was
got up some time since at one of our minor theatres, but
without a fortunate result. We have no Lemaitre. L'Au-
berge des Adrets, although of the class of low tragedy which
has been so much cherished for some years past by our sen-
timental public, has but little of the vulgarities which ge-
nerally characterise them. Its horrors are not protruded,
but, on the contrary, are almost veiled by incidents which,
while of a pleasing or ludicrous description, are still natural.
The whole of this melodrama is admirably constructed, and
abounds in striking► situations, seemingly produced by a most
natural course of incidents. Le maitre's acting in Macaire
proves him to be a man of extraordinary natural powers—of
genius for his profession. A personation so full at once of
the singular and amusing we have never seen.

On Thursday Lord Granville Somerset, Sir Charles
Manners Sutton, 'Sir Benjamin Stephenson, and other official
persons, made a general and particular inspection of the works
going on in the Houses of Parliament, and the capabilities
which the buildings forming the debris of the late Parliamen-
tary offices afford, that can be made available for committee-
rooms and offices. The residence of Sir George Rose was
amongst those inspected for this purpose. Sir R Smirke was
in attendance on the committee. It is fully understood that
the temporary buildings now preparing for the Parliamentary
session will be completed by the 19th of February, on whist
day the writs are returnable. Amongst the earliest I?usiness

PEEL V. HUNT.

This was an action brought by a printer against the ex-
M.P. for Preston, for the sum of 51., for work and labour
for the defendant, who pleaded the general issue and a tender.
Mr. THOMAS was counsel for the plaintiff, and the defen-
dant conducted his owtrease-in person.
Mr. Peel had been employed by Mr. Hunt in the print-
ing department. In October last the plaintiff was in the
defendant's counting-house when the foreman ordered him
to print 10,000 bills like the one he held in his hand. A.
proof was sent in and approved of, and the plaintiff was di-
rected to proceed without delay in the execution of the
order. The bills, when printed, were sent home, and the
foreman told the apprentice they were all right, and he was
very glad they were done. Application was subsequently
made for payment for the bills, -and they were returned
about six weeks after their delivery with a message from
the defendant that they bad not been ordered. The plain-
tiff returned them ; but the defendant refusing to accept
them, they were thrown down the area. They- were now
in the defendant's- possession. The defendant sent one of.
his servants to the plaintiff with the amount of a bill for
printing previously performed, who tendered the anionnt;
but Mr. Peel refused to accept less than the whole amount.
The defendant had consequently paid the sum he admitted
to be due into Court,
For the defence several witnesses were called, and the
Learned Under Sheriff having summed up the Very con-
flicting testimony, the Jur;►• consulted together for a few
minutes, and returned -a verdict for the defendant upon both
the counts.

WEST CUMBERLAND ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sts,—Toryism keeps its ground here. The two old Mem-
bers are returned by a large majority. The contest has cost
the Conservatives an immense sum ; but the Liberals have this
consolation, that the two men are mete imbeciles—they are
complete dumbies in the House. Nothing but the Vote by
Ballot can ever give the freeholders of Cumberland their
proper voice in the House.

A NEW EDITION, WITH IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL
REMARKS AND CASES.
Just published, the 19th Edition, price 4s.
AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL
TREATISE on SYPHILIS, its Consequences, on Stric-
tures, Eruptions, Nodes, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mis-
taken for Rheumatism. These subjects are illustrated by a variety
of highly interesting cases, together with the miseries of a secret
vice. so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes.
In the one it will be found an unfailing source of barrenness, in
the other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state
of debility which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotency ;
these are its remote and ultimate effects; whilst Consumption,
Loss of Muscular Power, and various other complaints, usually
characterise the earlier stages of these distressing diseases, for the
Cure of which the Author has laid down a plan of treatment which,
during his experience of upwards of thirty-five years' extensive
practice, has invariably proved successful ; with concluding remarks
on the evils resulting from attempts at self cure.

Printed for the Author, and sold by Onwhyn, Catherine-street,

row ; T ' `Phun, Trongate Glasgow; Messrs. Sutherland, Calton-
street, Edinburgh ; and by all Booksellers in town and country.
Amongst the numerous medical and surgical works of the day,
we consider that written by Dr. Courtenay on Syphilis and other
frequently fatal complaints, to be worthy of the highest encomiums,
and justly deserving the serious attention of all those persons who
may unfortunately happen to be afflicted with the maladies which
form the subject of this very interesting publication. The lumi-
nous views taken of these diseases, together with the important
warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise ; and
we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with
' much delicacy and morality."—lnspector and Literary Review,

MAGISTRATES.

Yesterday, a numerous meeting of the Magistrates of
the county of Middlesex was held in the Sessions-house,
Clerkenwell : Captain Acklom in the chair.
The report of the Committee of Accounts and General
Purposes was read. It stated that the expenditure on ac-
count of convicts, from October, 1833, to November, 1834,
amounted to 2,1291. Bs. 11d., comprising—
s. d.
Fees on delivery out
Expense of removing 1,159 14 9
Clothing for female convicts 236 8 6
The Committee recommended the Court to resist the
charge for clothing, the county not being a party to the re-
moval, and clothes being furnished to the convicts while in
Newgate.
Some discussion arose as to the propriety of refusing the
payment of these expenses, but it appeared there was no
alternative, the Act of Parliament being imperative.
A letter from Mr. Higgs, the Coroner, complained that
two items, amounting together to 451., had been struck out
of his account. The charges were for fees and mileage for
holding two inquisitions within the Duchy of Lancaster,
and they had been refused because Mr. Stirling, the other
Coroner, had alleged that they were held within his
jurisdiction.
Mr. RAWLINSON observed, that as there appeared to be
a quarrel between the gentlemen about the extent of juris-
diction, the better, way would be not to pay either until that
dispute was settled.—(Hear, hear.)

A report prevailed that the Spanish war was going to be put an

indemnified. This at present we imagine is a stock jobbing
manoeuvre to keep up the Spanish Scrip, and we do not attach
any credit to the report.

UNEQUAL TAXATION.

A memorial, of which the following is a copy, was pre
sented

" St. James's, Westminster, Parochial-office,
Poland-street, Jan. 6, 1835.

"My Lords and Gentlemen—l am instructed by the go-
vernors and directors of the poor of the above parish, most
respectfully but earnestly to request your attention to the pre •
sent mode of collecting the rate for this county, with reference
to the practice of suffering very large arrears to remain out-
standing from various parishes, whereby those which do keep
up their payments become most unequally and unfairly assessed.
I am directed to represent to you, that on the 12th of October
last no less a sum than 12,098/. 2S. 4d. remained uncollected
from upwards of fifty parishes, on account of the preceding
rates, notwithstanding which, payment of the rate made in
November has been called for from this parish, and legal pro-
ceedings threatened by the treasurer unless the demand is
forthwith complied with.
The governors of the poor feel confidently assured that
you will perceive the illegality and injustice of such a partial
mode of collecting in a compulsory rate, and that you will give
instructions to your treasurer to proceed at once to get in the
arrears now due, and thus place all the parishes in the county
on an equal footing.— " I have the honour, &c.,
GEORGE BUZZARD,
" Clerk to the Board of Governors.
‘‘ To his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the County of
Middlesex in Quarter Sessions assembled."

A similar memorial was read from St. George's Hanover-
square ; and also one from St. Mary's, Stratford, complain-
ing of being rated considerably above the rack-rent, and
praying that the excess should be refunded.
The CHAIRMAN remarked, that some time ago the parish
of St. James, by a miscalculation, paid a larger sum than
they ought to have done, as much as 60,0001., which, though
it was clearly proved they had paid in their own wrong, was
not refunded.
It was agreed that all the memorials should be referred
to the Committee for General Purposes.

THE FUNDS.

In the Foreign Market the only business transacted is in Spanish
Stock and the Scrip, which may be quoted at—Spanish, 54% 3/4
New Scrip, :14 buyers. In the other Foreign Securities nothing
doing at present.
Madras papers have been received at the North and South Ame-
rican Coffee-house to the sth October. They state that the Lord
William Bentinck, iron steamer, came off Calcutta on the 4th, in
the morning, having run the distance between Calcutta and Alla-
habad in a few hours.
By information received from China, of the middle of July, Lord
Napier had arrived at Canton.

HALF-PAST ONE.

Since the early part of the morning a change has taken place
both in the British and Foreign Markets. Consols, which were in
the early part of the morning 911 for the Account, have since im-
proved to 91i, and have a firm appearance at present ; Exchequer
Bills, 42 ; India Bonds, 20 ; India Stock, 257'.
In the Foreign Market, Portuguese Stock, which has been
during the morning the principal speculation, has reached
Spanish, which was 54i 4, is at present 54i, 55. Spanish New
Scrip, to 1 per cent. premium.
A report prevails that Portuguese Bonds are to be reduced, the
5 per cents. to 3 per cents., which are to give the same interest as the
5 per Cent. bonds ; this plan would increase the capital two-thirds,
because they would give 166/. 13s. 4d. on the 3 per Cents. for every
100/. of 5 per Cent. bonds.
We hear that Lord Fitzroy Somerset is going to Madrid on an

CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.

Mr. HALIBURTON presented petitions from Halibur-
ton and another place in Argyleshire in favour of the Church
of Scotland.

PORT OF BRISTOL.
Sir R. VIVIAN presented a petition from the branch pilots
of the port of Bristol, praying, as we understood, that vessels
which put into that port in consequence of stress of weather
should be compelled to pay the lighthouse and pilotage duties.
The Noble Baronet gave notice that en Monday, the 30th of
March, he would call the attention of the House to the state
of our foreign affairs as connected with Portugal.
STATE OF CANADA.

Mr. P. M. STE WA RT said he had a petition to preseut from
the inhabitants of Montreal and its vicinity, in Lower Canada,
and he thought it but fair to the House and the country to
put them into the knowledge of the actual state of par-
ties in that country. The petition was signed by 11,170
individuals, of whom there were about 1,000 French Ca-
nadians, the remainder being British and Irish settlers.
They first, expressed their gratitude for the security
they enjoyed, under the protection of Great Britain ; and went
on to state, that they regarded with regret and alarm the ten-
dency of the resolutions passed by the Ilouse of Assembly in
that colony. But that, whilst they deplored the necessity of
external legislation, they relied with confidence on the
wisdom and justice of the British House of Commons.
He ought to observe, that the Canadians were as much
split into parties as was this country ; and there were distinc-
tions amongst the Canadians as well as elsewhere. There
was a majority there of what were called Liberals or Refor-
mers, but there was a distinction there as here between Con-
stitutional Whigs and Radicals.—( Hear, and Laughter.) He
believed there was a majority of the party called Constitu

POOR LAWS.

Lord TEYNH AM gave a notice for Friday relative to the
Poor Laws.

The Duke of BUCKINGHAM wished to know when any
steps would be 3 taken for the purpose of carrying the Poor
Law Amendment Bill into effect ?

The Duke of WELLINGTON said he for one was glad
that the Commons had not yet put forth those rules and regu-
lations which the law required of them. Time would give
them more experience.
The Duke of BUCKINGHAM asked whether the Poor
Law Commissioners had made any new rules or regulations ?
Lord BROUGHAM replied that it did not follow that be-
cause the Commissioners:had given any orders, that they had
made new rules. The orders alluded to were those general
regulations required to be transmitted to the overseers by the
act, and therein described.—The conversation then dropped.

On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND the House
went into Committee upon the Oaths and Affirmation Bill.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY reported progress, and got
leave to present the Bill to-morrow.
The House then adjourned.
