BOW-STREET.

Jules Boulet, a tall dark Frenchman, was placed at
the bar, charged before Mr. Hall with having as-
saulted Auguste Trion, a fellow-countryman, by
striking him several blows with his fist in a most
anti-G allican manner.

The complainant, who appeared much excited, and
was not much more than half the size of his assailant,
stated his case in a patois of broken English inter-
larded with French expressions, which was scarcely
intelligible, from which it appeared that the two
" compatriots" had been talking over the events of
Otaheite, Tunis, and Mogadore, until two o'clock that
morning, when they turned out thirsty and irritable.
" He then want me to give him some biere. Eh bien!
I refuse. He then begin box me. Ino fight----I no
box like one blaggad,' and he hit me des coups de
going in de face."
The prisoner here raised his eyes to the ceiling in
horror at the statement of his accuser.

Mr. HALL (t) complainant)—Did he hurt you ?
Complainant (looking vacantly)—l no !nosh speak
Anglish. Je ne comprends pas, Monsieur.
Mr. HALL—You say he struck you. Where did
he strike you? Complainant—Oh, comme ca, comme
ca—intimating by gesticulations that he had received
a blow under the eye.
Prisoner (turning towards complainant)—"here
did I strike you ? Complainant (disdainfully avoid-
ing all parley with the enemy)— Oh c est egal, c'est
egal.
The police proved that there had been a quarrel
between the two Frenchmen, but stated that, as they
spoke in French, they knew nothing of the origin of
their dispute.

Mr. HALL—What have ycu to say. prisoner? Pri-
soner—He has nussin on his face, but (patting his
thigh) I have somesin here.—(Laughter.)
HALL---Do you mean that he kicked you ?
Prisoner—Oui, Monsieur, yas ! dat is it. Ino speak
Anglish. Ino able to say all he do. But I tell as
I can.—(Laughter.) He bad man ; he been in de
prison ; he ruclulss his wife wid de knife. He " keek"
me; I give him des coups de going. I can't receive
somesing for nussing.—,(l,aughter.)
Mr. HALL—YOU are countrymen, and if you can't
meet without quarrelling you had better not meet; or
if you meet you had better not speak to each other.
(To the prisoner)—You are di,charged.
Monsieur Boulet makes his best bow, and retires,
while M. Trion looks chagrined at the result.

SANGUINARY AND BRUTAL
ASSAULT.

Late on Saturday evening last a number of Irish-
men, who are at present employed at the iron-works
near Kilbirnie, called at a public-house kept by a
respectable old man named Peter Hughes, on the
road to Dalry, and ordered some whisky. After
they had been supplied, they rose to go without
having paid for the spirits. Hughes attempted to
detain them, when the miscreants set upon him
and his wife, and commenced beating and mal-
treating them in a most shameful manner. The
cries of the old people brought a neighbour to
their assistance, and on his attempts to interfere
he was likewise attacked with equal fury. The
son of this person, a stout young man, came in at this
juncture, and having seized a poker, he knocked se-
veral of the ruffians down one after another, but was
at length overpowered, and the poker taken from him.
He with difficulty escaped from their hands, and
having returned with some of the noighbours, whom
he had called to the rescue, they found the whole of
the windows burst in, and the furniture broken to
pieces. Hughes and his wife were in a state of in-
sensibility; the former had his legs broken, and his
body covered with contusions ; his wife also had been
dreadfully maltreated ; and the young man's father
had his skull fractured, and was otherwise very
much bruised. The whole three remain in a very
precarious state. The county police were speedily
on the alert, and early on Sunday morning suc-
ceeded in capturing four persons, who un-
derwent an examination before a magistrate on
Sunday. Two of them were instantly identified by
the young man, and their persons bore the marks of
the blows he had inflicted on them with the poker.
The party who made the attack consisted of seven,
and it is expected that they will all shortly be in cus-
tody. Four very suspicious characters, whose accent
betrayed that they were Irish, were seen on the
grounds of Grangehill, belonging to Captain Reid, on
Sunday morning; but before the police arrived, they
had disappeared. They are strongly suspected to
have been of the party ; and it is said the clothes of
one of the four were stained with blood. We under-
stand that the inhabitants of the district complain
greatly of the riotous conduct of some of the parties
engaged at the iron-works ; and it is hoped measures
will be adopted to prevent the recurrence of such out-
rages.—Scotch Paper.

CITY CHAMBERLAIN

TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT

LIVERY OF LONDON.

GENTLEMEN ,—A vacancy having occurred in the im-
portant and honourable office of Chamberlain of this
City, I venture to announce myself a candidate for your
favour, when you shall be called upon to exercise your
franchise in the election of a successor to my lamented
friend, the late Sir William Heygate, Bart.

In earnestly soliciting your support at the ensuing
election, I beg leave respectfully to state that I am a
Liveryman of this, my native City ; the sow, also the
grandson of Liverymen—that within this City I was
trained to the laborious and honourable profession in
which I am engaged—that for upwards of forty years
I have been a member of your ancient Corporation
and during twenty- three years of that period a Magistrate
of London—and that, having served the offices of Sheriff
and Lord Mayor, I am now, with the exception of my
esteemed friend, Sir Claudius Stephen Hunter, the
SENIOR member of the Court of Aldermen.

Thus long and intimately connected with you, I cast
myself upon your kind consideration, gratified by the re-
flection that the office which I solicit involves no political
question, and while respectfully adverting to the
punctuality, diligence, and impartiality with which it
has been my constant endeavour to discharge my ma-
gisterial duties, beg to assure you, that should I by
your suffrages be elevated to the station to which
I aspire, I shall relinquish my professional
pursuits, in order that my energies may be entirely
devoted to your service.—With much respect, I hare the
honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and devoted servant.

FRoM THE RHINE, Aua. 18.—The annual meeting
of the Central Commission for the Navigation of the
Rhine will be held at Maintz in a few days. It is
said that Holland intends to make some very liberal
proposals, which will be favourable to the German
transit trade. Thus it is to be proposed to abolish all
the various tolls levied on the navigation of the Rhine
through the Netherlands to the sea, and to substitute
for them the very low duty of ten Dutch cents. for a
hundred kilogrammes. Holland asks, in return, that
Russia shall abolish the tolls on the Rhine between
Cologne and Emmeruh, and charge no higher duty
than on goods sent from Belgium, by the railway
to Cologne, up the Rhine. Germany may be glad of
such measures, especially considering its very un-
certain position with respect to Belgium.

BRUSSELS, AUG. 26.—The progressive increase of
the railway receipts, which has been observed since the
beginning of this year, has not stopped in the month
of July. The total receipt, which in June was
953,000 francs, rose in July to 1,092,023 francs, and but
for the unfavourable weather which prevailed through
the whole month, the increase would have been still
greater. The total receipt in the first seven months of
1843 was 4,419,142 francs ; in the first seven months of
1844, 6,050,595 francs. The number of travellers in the
same period was, in 1843, 1,599,000 ; in 1844, 1,899,000.
The quantity of goods conveyed was, in 1843,
134,583,536 kilogrammes ; in 1844, 274,110,278 kilo-
grammes.

A SXCIRT ATTACC—FOLKSTONE.-011 Monday
evening as Mr. Broderick, superintendent of the com-
pany's omnibuses, was driving from the station after the
9.15 train had gone down, some fellow, who had se-
creted himself under the tramroad arch leading to the
North Foreland, threw a brick, which struck Mr. Bro-
derick on the loins with such force as nearly to knock
him off the box, and severely injured him. The proba-
bility seems that the attack was made by some disap-
pointed vagabond to revenge himself fur some grievance,
and it is supposed mistook the party. If dtsoovered,
such ruffianly and unmanly conduct merits a severe
puni sham t.-3faidetone Gauger.

UNION-HALL.

Two ill-looking young fellows, named William
Taylor and Matthew Smith, were brought before
Mr. Cottingham, charged with breaking into the
Pagoda-tavern, Bermondsey New-road, and stealing
several bottles of wine, the property of James C. P.
Lowe, the landlord.

Police•constable, 226 M, said that about twenty
minutes past five this morning he was passing the Pa-
goda-tavern, when he heard a noise in the lower part
of the house. He then perceived the cellar-flap partly
openrand heard the rattling of- bottles. He cpened
the flap, when he perceived Smith about to get out
with a bundle in one hand. On seeing him about to
descend, Smith went down again, and crossed the
cellar. He then called the assistance of Ward, 220
M, who remained outside, while he awoke the land-
lord and searched the premises with him. They dis-
covered the prisoners in the middle of the cellar,
each drinking a bottle of port winel They seemed
quite unconcerned. The floor was strewed with
broken bottles, and the wine was running about.
He then secured the prisoners, who were quite drunk,
and conveyed them to the station- house.
Mr. Lowe said that after the prisoner left the house
he minutely examined the cellar, and found that the
flap had been wrenched up with a crow-bar, and the
Chain which fastened it down had been broken. In
the middle of the floor he found a crow-bar, a piece of
candle, and some matches. In the fining cask, which
had the head out, he found six bottles- of port wine
tied up in a pocket handkerchief, which had been
seen in the possession of Smith by the constable. On
examining the door which communicated with the
interior of the premises, he found that attempts had
been made to force it open. The crow-bar which
was found on the floor corresponded with the marks
on the door post. He (Mr. Lowe) considered that
about three dozen bottles of wine had been destroyed.
226 M remarked, that as soon as the prisoners found
they were dicovered, they began to break the bottles.
Mr. COTTINGHAM asked Mr. Lowe whether he knew
the prisoners ? Mr. Low replied he had no recollec-
tion of ever seeing them before.
In answer to the charge, Smith said that he was
drunk, and not aware of what he was doing. Taylor
made the same defence.

Mr. Lowe said that they were seen loitering about
his house by the man at the toll-bar at three o'clock.
They were then perfectly sober.
Mr. COTTINGIIAM said, that there was not the least
doubt that their intention was to rob the interior of
the premises from the marks upon the door, which
corresponded with the crow-bar found near where
they were found. He should remand them until Wed-
ne4day next, .to give the officer an opportunity of
making inquiries into their characters.
Wednesday John Leigh, an engineer, was brought
up for re-examination, charged with absconding with
the wife of John Townsend, a linendraper, and steal-
ing various articles, his property.

LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1844.

Another great meeting of the Anti-Corn-law
League took place on Wednesday night, in the New
Hall, at Rochdale. The organs of monopoly must
be grievously perplexed by this additional proof of
the vitality of the League, for according to their
accounts it was in a state of fearful decrepitude full
three months since, and there was not the slightest
probability of its ever again disturbing the slumber
of the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, or giving occasion for
any further manifestations of eloquence on the part of
Mr. BANKES, whose description of his Dorsetshire
Arcadia caused, it may be remembered, a very
considerable sensation in the House of Commons last
session, if not by its matter-of-fact accuracy, at any
rate by the brilliant inventive genius by which it
was characterised. The Post, the Standard, and the
Herald, having already pronounced the Anti-Corn-
law League to be all but in articulo mortis, and
Messrs. COBDEN and BRIGHT engaged in busy pre-
parations for officiating as chief mourners at its
funeral, it must be a great act of presumption in this
contumacious Confederacy now to come publicly for-
ward and declare, that so far from being in ill-health,
it never was in a more thriving condition in its life,
and as for dying, it never had the slightest intention
of giving up the ghost ! We remember a remark-
ably robust 'and vigorous gentleman, with a
face like a full-moon, and a chest like that
of llercules in the Elgin marbles, and who
never in his life knew what it was to have
a headache, modestly observing in reply to some
common-place interogatory of a friend, that, thank
GOD, he enjoyed excellent health, though he looked
delicate; and so may the League reply ;—it enjoys
excellent health, though it boobs delicate—at least in
the estimation of our Tory Contemporaries, who
never will be persuaded but that it must very shortly
go off in a galloping consumption. Those, however,
whose judgment is not wholly eclipsed by their pre-
judices, take a very different view of the case, and
consider that at the present moment the Anti-
Corn-law League exercises a greater moral influence
over the public mind than
_it has done at any time
since its first establishment. Were it not so, we
should not find it effecting such searching reforms

BRAZILIAN GOLD MINES.

A meeting of the holders of shares in the Cata
Branca (Brazils) Gold Mining Company was held at
the office of the Society, Broad-street-buildings, at
half-past one yesterday, for the purpose of receiving
the half-yearly report of the Directors ; George Hay-
thorne, Esq., in the chair.
After reading the advertisement 'convening the
meeting, the Secretary proceeded to read the report,
by which it appeared that there had been a decrease
in the quantity of gold produced from the " lode"
during the last half-year, in comparison with that
produced from a similar quantity of lode in the
year 1840, and those intervening. The rate of the
produce of the gold in the year 1840, as compared
with the lode was 974 lbs. of gold for 18,230
tons of lode, while in the last half-year it was only
1541b5. of gold for 7,900 tons of lade, being a
falling off in the proportion of about 23 to 51. The
cause of the decrease was attributed, by those who
were deputed to examine into it, to the fact of what
its technically termed a "slide" running longitudinally
through the bed of lode at an angle of 42 degrees, by
which the quality of the productive earth was consi-
derably deteriorated. To counteract this, it became
necessary to sink a bell shaft to the depth of 100
fathoms, and now they found a considerable improve-
ment in the quality of the lode. The excavated
earth, by the usual process, produced as much gold as
covered the expenses of working the shaft. The
Directors had deemed that it would be advisable to
make a call on the Shareholders, but they had re-
frained from doing so as yet, and made themselves
liable to 8,000/. debt.

On the motion of Mr. GUM', seconded by Mr.
WRAY, the report was adopted, and ordered to be
printed for circulation; after which a vote of thanks
to the Chairman, and one of confidence in the Direc-
tory, were passed, and the meeting separated.

here for the last week, and will make a considerable
stay in Bohemia to join the hunting parties on the

that it seems certain he intends to settle in Bohemia.

INTERESTING TO LADIES.

To Messrs. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London.
Percy-place, Landport, Portsmouth, April 4, :844.
Gentlemen,—l think it but an act of jnstice to inform
you of the benefit I have derived from the use of your
admirable Macassar Oil. About six months ago I found
my hair getting daily more weak and thin, and much
discoloured, from a practice I had adopted of weft* it
continually ; fearing that I should lose it entirely, and
hearing of the efficacy of your Macassar Oil, I have for
some time past constantly used it, and the result is, that
my hair is now perfectly -restored and much improved
in appearance and colour, having become thick, dark, and
glossy ; it also curls freely without the use of paper,
which it never did before. To all my friends I have
warmly recommended your Macassar Oil as an excellent
restorative and preservative for the hair. As I have 'an
objection to see my name i n print, I beg you will not
publish it; but you are at blberty to show this letter, or
make any other use you please of it, and refer applicants
to me, if necessary, in proof of the efficacy of your Ma-
cassar Oil.—Your obedient servant,

Rowland's Macassar Oil iiruserves and reproduces the
Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ;
Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour ; frees it
from Scurf and Dandruff, and. makes it beautifully soft
and curly.
Ask for " Rowlandr's Macassar Oil."
All others are fraudulent counterfeits.

INCENDIARY FIRE AT COGGLESIIALL.—About three
o'clock yesterday morning (Thursday), the uninhabited
mansion of Charles Skingley, Esq., of Great Coggleshall,
was maliciously set on fire, and with the extensive pre-
mises adjoining, was completely burnt to the ground,
nothing but the naked chimneys being left standing.
There is no clue at present to the vile incendiary.—

OPINIONS OF THE MISS.
" We regard the work before us ' The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
Wesnust, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer.
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
—Age and Argus.
" Tee Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this hook is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

THE QUEEN v. WHITTAKER.

Mr. COWLING moved for a certiorari to remove the
judgment against the defendant. This was an indict-
ment for a violation of a local Act of Parliament, the
11th of Geo. the 4th sec. 39, which required that no
street should be made in Manchester of less width than
eight yards. It appeared that the defendant i❑ this
case made *sound only six yards-in width, and for this
