HATTON-GARDEN,

Henry Pople, driver of the hackney-coach, No.
86, appeared yesterday upon a summons before the
sitting Magistrate, Mr. ROGERS, to answer his (the
Magistrate's) complaint, for refusing to take a fare.
It appeared that on Tuesday night, when Mr.
Rogers was about to leave the office; he sent Raven,
the messenger, to order a coach. Raven proceeded
to the nearest coach-stand op Holborn-hill, and cal-
ling to the defendant, who was asleep on his box at
the time, roused hits, and desired him to drive to
the police-office, Hatton-garden. The defendant
inquired who was to be his tare, and the messenger
told him the sitting magistrate, Mr. Rogers, to
which he instantly replied,—" I'll be —, then, if
I do go ; eall another coach, for I shall rather go
home ,•". and while the messenger was taking his
number, he turned his horses from the stand, and
drove off.

The defendant answered, that he did not refuse
the fare, but that he had been
previously engaged
the waterman to take a fare to Knightsbridge.,
and told the messenger so at the time. ..
Mr. ROGERS inquired of the messenger if this
were tine, to which-he replied that it certainly wasnet.
Mr. ROGERS rebuked the defendant for adding to
his offence against the law the infamy of a lie, arid

This sublime head of the true believers is the
last branch of the family of Mahomet. He is,
undoubtedly, indebted to the noble and sacred
blood that flows in his veins for the reverence
the Janissaries displayed for . his person during
circumstances of the most ethical nature, when
this soldiery would otherwise have annihilated all
difficulties regicide yatbagers (scimi-
tars): Being tenderly beloved by his uncle
Selim, Mahmond received a more careful
education than what usually falls to the lot
of Mussulmen mid other Princes. Still this bril-
liant education was confined to a knowledge of the
Arabic and Persian languages, and the principles
of caligraphy; which is" held in high esteem
amongst the Turks. He is accused of hAving
poisoned his own son, a boy, whom the Janis-
saries were inclined to raise to the throne. He
is, however, allowed to be a very good father,
notwithstanding this act, and to love tenderly
the daughters whom his favourite Sultana bore
him. His capacity in matters of administration
seems far to eclipse most of his predecessors. He
has gained the glory of dissolving
.the ostocracy
of the Janissaries, those formidable Pretorian
bands, who, in 1821, murdered the Greeks of the
Phanar ; and, at an earlier period,_ put an end to
the life'of Sultan Selitn and Mustapha IV. The
most perfect tranquillity reigns at Constantinople
since these were disposed of by cannon balls, and
all foreigners enjoy equal protection. He abo-
