SOUT RIVARK-(r HIS DAY.)

Two men, nam-d Lander and. Street, were charged with
comm,tting an assault on a Mr. IV imam Jarovis, on the occa-
sion of a wedding%
The complainant stated that on the preceding day .his son
was married, on which account _a great number. of people
assembled, and the 44 rough music" was set going. lie (corn-.
plainant) went to the public-house to order the supper beer,
and while at the bar the two defaulants came up, and asked

him what he would " stand." He gave an eva-sive, answer,
and.went home. And when he got to the door he found the
defendants followed him, and they commenced ringing and
knocking at the door with great violence. He deSiretahem
to desist, but they refused, and ultimately struck. him A
scene of riot and confusion ensued, which only was putittt end
to by the police interfering, and taking the defend:Anti into

custody.
Mr. CornsGßut said he regretted to hear that such a
practice as beating tin pots and kettles at a wedding still
existed in the metropolis of a civilised Country ; and that it
having been proved the defendants were prothinent in the dis-
graceful affair, and had assaulted the complainant, he should
therefore adjudge them to find two sureties of 10/. each, and
enter into their own recognisances in
.20/., to keep the peac,t
and be of good behaviour for six monthS.

CLERWENWELL.—(r HIS DAY.)
Daniil Connor, a drover, was charged with beating: and
wounding police-constable 238 6, so as to do him•gricvous
bodily harm.
The constable deposed that the prisoner was sitting in the
middle of the pavement, on the previous night, near Smith-
field. He was just recovering from a fit of intoxication, and
witness, fearing he would be run over, or trampled upon, and
seeing that he obstrncted the pavement, told him to get
up. fie took no notice of the command, but remained in the
same position. Witness then seized him for the purpose of
raising him, when the prisoner turned upon him, knocked
him into the kennel, and rolled-him there until his dress--was
completely saturated with filth. At last he got upon
his legs, but • the prisoner again got him down, and
kicked him on the head with all his force. Wit-
ness, seeing that the prisoner was resolved upon murdering
him, by a desperate struggle got him under him; the prisoner
clung to him like a bulldog, and seizing the fleshy part of his
leg between his teeth, pierced the thick trousers and strong
boots until he made the teeth almost meet in the flesh. Wit-

ness, by a well-directed blow, obliged him to relinquish his
hold, but he seized his wrist in his mouth and inflicted a
severe wound upon it. At length assistance arrived, and he
was secured.

Police-sergeant Cottam, 10 G, said, in all his life, he never
saw any one in so shocking a condition as the constable, the
blood was streaming from his face, his clothes were saturated
with filth, and he was scarcely able to stand erect from the
injuries he had received.

'The prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment
in the House of Correction, without the power of releasing
himself by the payment of a fine.

REGISTRATION COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)
CITY OF LONDON.

The Court resumed its inquiry this morning at ten o'clock,
when the list of Liverymen was entered upon.
The first case on which any discussion arose was that of
Mr. Marriott, described in the overseers' list as residing on
Ludgate-hill. It was objected to him that this was not his

proper residence, as he gad removed to Upper Albany-street,
Regent's Park. It was maintained on the other side that
this did not affect his right to vote as a Liveryman.
The REVISING BARRISTER said, as it was a point of im-
portance, he Would take time to consider his decision.

The next point of importance raised was in the case of
Edward Brown, a member of the Bakers' Company. It was
objected to him that his freedom had been taken up since
1831, and therefore, according to the intention of the Reform
Act, his name was not entitled to be on the register.
After considerable argument, as the decision would affect
several hundred votes, it was agreed that a case should be
selected, to be fully argued on Friday next.

COLONIAL.
SUGAIL—The market for British Plantation is firm, and
fully previous prices have been 6btained fur the quantity sold,
but only a limited business has been done privately. About
750 casks have been disposed of, inclusive of those brought to
auction. The public sales have consisted principally of 100
casks Barbadoes, 180 casks Berbice, 7,642 bags Mau-
ritius, 1,132 bags Bengal, 430 boxes white Havannali.
Nearly all the East and West India found buyers
and went off with spirit at fully previous prices, and
in some instances rather dearer for the brown descriptions
of Mauritius, of which the parcel chiefly consisted, and being
mostly in small lots no accurate quotations can be given.
All the Havannah was withdrawn much above the value,
viz., at 40s to 41s 6d for very low to mid greyish white, .but
of fair quality. The only transaction which has transpired
privately worth reporting consists of a small cargo of yellow
Havannah, which has been sold afloat at 30s 6d,
deliverable at a near port on the Continent ;
and for a large cargo (also afloat) of this .descrip-
tions, containing 2,700 boxes, of good quality, 31s Gd
have been refused. The quantity of British Plantation
landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 237
hhds 14 trcs 17 brls, and there were taken for home con-
sumption 1,690 hhds 122 firs 459 brls. 'l'be stock in the
same places was 11,994 hhds 1,274 trcs 2,231 brls.

23s to 25s for good white, being above the value.
SALTPETRE.-3,191 bags Bengal were bought in at 253 to

two-thirds sold at the former price for 5% per cent refraction,

ERRATUM,—In our report of the proceedings in
the Finsbury Registration Court, it was stated that an indi-
Tidual named Watts had claimed to vote as a lodger, and that
his claim was allowed. It should have been " the claim was
disallowed," and on the authority, as stated by Mr. Moylan,
the Revising Barrister, of the Court of Common Pleas, which,
in last Hilary Term, decided that a lodger has no right to be
registered.
WALKING MATCH.—Mountjoy's great match of
walking fifty miles in thirteen hours, twenty miles back-
wards, for six successive days, commenced yesterday, at six
o'clock. There could not be a more unfavourable day, the
rain pouring heavily ; but not at all daunted, the pedestrian
pursued his course, and accomplished the ten miles in the fol-
lowing time :—First ten miles in one hour and fifty minutes,
the second ten miles in one hour and fifty-eight minutes.
The walking backwards the first ten miles was completed in
two hours and three-quarters, the second ten miles back-
wards in two hours and fifty. eight. minutes. The fifty
hurdles were afterwards leaped by Mountjoy in less than the
specified time, ten minutes. He resumes this day at half-
past five A.M., from the Red Cow Tavern, Dalston.
NAVAL RETIREMENT.—We understand that the
senior commanders at the naval ports, and in the metropolis,
are preparing a memorial to the Right Hon. the Earl of Had-
dingtou, soliciting of his Lordship the recognition of the jus-
tice and expediency of applying to them the same principle
-,4irement which has been recently bestowed on the
of
veteran post
ACCIDENT Al: THE VICTORIA. THEATRE.—An ac-
cident occurred :.T.4 night, at the Victoria Theatre, of rather
a serious nature. It afc.'?xa that while an actor, of the name
of Harris, was waiting for :14° cue at one of the wings, a
musket in the hands of a supernumerary accidentally went' ir,
the wadding striking Harris's eye. lie was immediately
conveyed to the shop of a surgeon in the neighbourhood, and
ultimately to Charing-cross Hospital, where he now lies in a
very precarious state. it is feared that the sight'of the eye
is entirely gone.
SHOWER OF DUST IN ORKNEY.--A friend just
returned from Orkney acquaints us of the following interest-
ing fact :—On the night betwixt the 2d and 3d September,
current, the wind blowing freely from the N.W., there fell
upon the whole mainland of Orkney a shower of tine impal-
pable dust, evidently of volcanic origin. The dust fell in
such quantities as to cover the whole island, and admit of
being easily gathered. It is presumed to have been caused
by an eruption of Mount Hula in Iceland, as asimlilar pheno-
menon which occurred many years ago was aileeTtsinsd to
have proceeded from that cause. We have seen a quantity
of the dust, which axactly resembles finely ground pumice
stone.—Dundee Warder,

LANDLORDS AND TENANTS IN TIPPERARY:
William Beamish, Esq., Beaumont, near Cork, paid his an-
nual visit thi' Week to his estate in the neighbournood of Bor-
risoleigh. He personally visited each cottage and farm house
—inquired into the wiints and wishes of the tenants, and
readily supplied them by the exhibition of a princely gene-
rosity. lie awarded the usual premiums to the neatest cot-
tages and most cleanly farm yards, and directed his agent to
employ drainers at his own expense, and to provide timber
and slates for all the tenants who chose to build walls sutli-

,rove(:

cient to support the same. A widow whoa lands had been
subdivided between two sons, got an annuity of 101. for life,
and EOM tenants who bad been evicted formerly were re-
stored. In the same neighbourhood, there is a landlord who
seldom if ever stirs abroad without being armed to the teeth,
and accompanied by a few policemen ! If Tipperary had all
such landlords as Mr. Beamish, there would be no cnme, and
no need of policemen.—Tipperary Vindicator.

ford free of duty, aggreeably to the terms of the' eputrkct
entered hit° with the Admiralty by them.
