CLERKETIVELL.-(THIS DAY.)

A man named Camp was charged with assaulting an Ita.
Tian, named Mariotti.

sir. John Davis, of IS, Claremont-place, Clerkenwell, de-
posed that he saw the prisoner standing opposite the com-
plainant' in a fighting attitude, near the Golden Anchor
public-house, Coppice-row. lie did not see the c'mplainant
strike the prisoner; but the prisoner struck Mariotti on the
t'ace, and made his mouth'bleed. He then ran away, but
Police-sergeant Archer, after a smart race, overtook and ar-
rested him.. .

The prisoner, in defence, said he had been drinking with a
female in the Golden Anchor. The female did. not like the
noise of the organ which the complainant was playing out•
side the door, and aeßed hlm to tell the organ player to go
away. • Lie did so, but Mariotti immediately drew a knife
tiloim beneath the green cloth which covered the organ, and
threatened to stab him .with it. He then struck him on
the mouth.

The MAthsTRATE ingaired•if the prisoner had said any-
thing about the knife on the previous night, and.if the com-
plainant had one on his person?
Police-sergeant Archer, 8 G, said the knife had been found
on his person, and the prisoner had stated that the com-
plainant had threatened to stab him.....'.
The MAGISTRATE, remarked that those Italian organs were
sometimes a great nuisance; but even if the Italian had pulled
out his knife, it did not justify the prisoner in striking him.
Ile would fine him 7s.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Mr.• Thomas Mason was charged before Mr. Traill with
wilfully'destroying the cushion and inside lining of a cab,
on the preceding night: •
The driver of thecab stated that, he was engaged by the
defendant on Cornhill, and on setting him down in Stamford-
street it was discovered that the cushion and the inside lining
of the vehicle were cut to pieces. The defendant was in the
act of making off when he was stopped and given into
custody.
The defendant said he dined at a public dinner, and having
drank a great deal of wine got into the defendant's cab, but
'had no -recollection.of having damaged it in the way described.
The defendant was adjudged to pay 31. for the damage, be-
sides costs.
Ann Head, a girl of fifteen years of age, was charged with
robbing her mistress of ten sovereigns, and also a watch-
chain and seals. •
It appeared that the prisoner had on frequent occasions of
late attended a penny concert, without the knowledge of her
mistress, where she formed yery bad acquaintances. On the
Friday morning the complainant, found that the drawers in
her bed-room had been forced open with a knife, and that
ten sovereigns, together with a watch-chain and seals, had
been abstracted. It was then discovered that the prisoner
had absconded, and the• same night she was found amongst
the motley company at a penny concert in the Mint. On
examining her 4!. 'l7s. of the stolen money was found in her
possesildn, having expended the remainder, and the watch
Was at her side.—She was committed.

A well-known City gentleman has induced Mr. Pattison,
the Member for London, to present the following petition, of
which copies are in private circulation :
" To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled.
The petition, of James Wilkinson, of Leadenhall-street,
in the City of London,
" Humbly showeth—
That for more than thirty years your petitioner has
been actively engaged in mercantile affairs, during
which period he has witnessed several severe revulsions
in commerce, manufactures, and agriculture, none of
which appeared to be the result of natural causes.
After seeing numerous wealthy mercantile, banking, and
trading establishments, reduced to insolvency, without
any apparent indiscretion or mismanagement on- their part;
he was induced to inquire how such events could happen,
and was not long in discovering the real cause—namely, the
excessive issues of paper money; which, whenever resorted
to, has invariably been followed by wild speculations, gam-
blings, and foreign loanings—displacing gold money, and
ultimately ending in a diminished and inadequate quantity
of paper money, and, with that, low prices for the prs-
ducts of industry, causing ruin and bankruptcy to the
producers, and ultimately spreading the same through
all ranks of traders, merchants, and bankers. To put an
end to such a system, your petitioner has, for several years,
been exerting himself in all sorts of ways, being of opinion
that it would be more to the interest of bankers themselves,
as well as the community at large, • that there should be
uniformity in amount, which could only be obtained by one
bank of issue, and that bank responsible to the Legisla-
ture; being also of opinion that the losses sustained by pro-
vincial banks of issue caused by revulsions, far exceed
in amount all the profits derived from such issues; it
was, therefore, with indescriLable feelings of pleasure
that he read the reported speech of the first Minister of the
Crown on the 6th inst., relative, to banking and the Bank of
England charter. Your petitioner would have preferred.vest-
ing the power of issuing papa money in the Sovereign alone ;
and the. amount fixed by the Legislature ; this, however, he
fears her Majesty's Ministers are not prepared to adopt, but
the outline of the measure proposed by the Minister is so
great an improvement on the present system, that your
petitioner sincerely hopes your. Honourable House will give
it your support. In which case, he begs ta call your
attention to that which alone can interfere with the future
uniformity of the currency under the proposed measure, and
that the exportation of gold and silver, but which may be
counteracted by imposing an export duty of 16s. per ounce
on gold, and Is. per ounce on silver. This would operate in
favour of the exportation of the products of British industry,.
as well as counteract the heavy imposts levied on them by
foreign nations, and could injure none but absentees. It would,
also, to a' great extent, deprive capitalists of the power of
negotiating foreign loans, and thereby prevent them
duping the unwary, as they, unfortunately, have been doing
during the last twenty years, in aid of civil wars in Spain,
and rebellion in her colonies—in creating competitors in
manufactures in North America, and in the ruin of many
of their dupes. That to the millions of gold thus
lost to the country may be traced the greater part
of the sufferings of those engaged in agriculture,
manufactures, and trade, and in exchange for whose
products it had originally been brought into the
country. Your petitioner, therefore, implores your Honour-
able House to pass into laws the measures proposed by the.
first Minister of the Crown, upon banking and the Bank of
England charter, and also to pass a law imposing an export
duty of 16s. per ounce on gold, and Is. per ounce on silver,
whether as bullion, coin, or manufactured, and for which
your petitioner will feel grateful, and, as in duty bound, will
ever pray. "JAMES WILKINSON.
