BOW-STREET—(Tits DAY. )

When Sir RICHARD BIRNIE took his seat this morning,
a man came into the office, and addressing Sir RICHARD,
that he came all the way from Yorkshire to sec the

protection of the Bow-street Magistrates. He was a tim-
ber-merchant, and had lately entered into a contract of a
serious nature with other persons in that trade. About a
fortnight ago he was taken forcibly from home, and_con-
fined in a lunatic asylum. After having been kept there
for ten days he contrived to effect his escape, fearing that
if he should return home, he should be imprisoned again,
he resolved rather to walkt'to London, and throw himself
on the protection of the Magistrates.
Sir R. BIRNTE—Had those who sent you to the lunatic
asylum a certificate of the state of your mind ?.
Applicant—They had ; but it was all a conspiracy to
defraud me of my property.
Sir RtenAub—Then I cannot interfere—it is out of
my jurisdiction : you had better apply to the Lord Chan-
cellor, the legal protector of lunatics.

The appliimni then asked Sir Richard to give him a
note to the Chancellor, which being denied, he left the

office.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET—(Taus DAY.)

AWFUL EFFECTS OF DRINKING.—Mr. Coomber, the
night-constable of St. Giles's watch-house, stated to Mr.
DYER, that last night a decent-looking man was brought
to the watch-house in a state of extreme intoxication. He
was in a complete phrenzy, and was foaming at the
mouth. Being brought in this state by the watchman,
Coomber thought it most prudent to send him to the
workhouse, where he could have medical assistance.—
This,_morning, however, he was found dead in his bed.

William Norton,' a youth of 18, was charged by his
father, of No. 11, Carnaby-street, with stealing a cramp
and a saw. The prisoner had been connected with thieves
for three years, and the father prosecuted him in the hope
of reclaiming him. He was fully committed.
Mary Jones, alias Waterloo Tom, the female who
served as a private soldier in several engagements during
the Peninsula war, and carried her wounded officer from
the field of battle to a place of safety, was charged for the
18th time with being drunk and creating a mob in the
street.

She is at present receiving a pension of ninepence per
day from Government. She received a remonstrance from
Mr. DYER, and was discharged.

LIEUTENANT-COLONEL ARCNDALL.

Mr. BUTLER attended on the part of Mr. Harmer, to
complain of a mis-statement in the Mies of this morning,
which he stated would imply that the circumstance of Co.
Archdall being liberated on his own recognizance of 5001.
was connived at, or bad not been properly opposed by
Mr. Harmer. The fact Was, that instead of being libe-
rated on that sum, he had been ordered to find two
sureties of 1501. each, in addition to his own re-
cognizance, and he could only impute it to some mistake
of the Judge's Clerk, or to the fact of bail being put in pre-
vious to the order baying been Written. He (Mr. B.) had
himself opposed the application at the Judge's Chambers,
and had given notice to Mr. Withers of such an intention,
and he should not wish the public to infer that he had been
liberated on his own recognizance.
The Magistrate assured him that that was the Judge's
order which was absolute, and not subjected to the re-
flection of the Magistrates.
On ascertaining which, Mr. Butler observed that bail
must have been put in before the order was written.

MEETING of the NETHERLAND PATENT
• SALT COMPANY—(This DAT).

A considerable number of the Shareholders and Trustees
of this Company assembled this morning at the office of
Messrs. Willis, Watson and Co., in Tokenhouse-yard,
Lothbury. '
Before the Meeting commenced, it was evident there
was a dread of something wrong, and it appeared that a
report had been industriously circulated that the agents of
the Company in the Netherlands were about to dispose of
the buildings recently erected there, and other property,
without the concurrence or even advice of the Proprietary.
At length the Chair was taken by -- Williams,, Esq.
A gentleman named `KNIGHT, Solicitor to the Trustees,
rose and stated that he had heard a false and scandalous
reportmhich was afloat, as well as many other gentlemen
present. He would, however,give them all the information in
his power on the subject. They were aware that a patent
had been 'promised to the Company by ,the King of the
Netherlands, as soon as they were prepared to commence
business. In consequence of this promise, works and
buildings had been erected in Rotterdam and,Ghent, the
expense of which. had already amounted to between 20
and 30 thousand pounds,the greaterpart of which hadbeen
advanced by their accredited agents, Messrs. Boudin
and Furnival, and the Trustees were , responsible
for their re-payment. In the early part of the pre-
sent month, about the time it was expected they
would be enabled to commence operations, letters had been
received from Messrs. Boudin and Co. stating that the
Government Of the Netherlands now refused the patent
they had before promised; and this change had been
eaused by the jealousy of the resident salt manufacturers.
For the present state of things, they, Messrs. B. and F.
thought it would be--best to dispose of their works, &c.
and that they had given instructions to that effect, not
intending to be at any greater outlay themselves.—
In his answer he had expressly forbid such mode of pro-
ceeding, until the late correspondence with the Govern-
ment was produced, and submitted to the inspection of the
proprietary, under whose decision they were bound to act.
Such was the state of their affairs at present, and as soon
as the documents arrived, ageneral meeting would be called.
A SHAREHOLDER wished- to know whether their deeds
were not in the hands of Messrs. Boudin and Furnival,
and if so, whether it was not in their power to sell the
property and pay themselves.
It was stated iii answer, that, as intended patentees, the
deeds were certainly in the hands of those gentlemen, but
they could not make any use of them on their own account.
Another SHAREHOLDER wished to know whether if the
property should be sold, the money would, in the first
place, go to liquidate the advances made by Mr. Furnival ?
To this question no direct answer was given • but the
general opinion appeared to be that they should ;lave their
money refunded in case of a sale of a property, it being
stated that if the money had been borrowed from any
source unconnected with the Society, it. must be paid.
A long, desultory, and somewhat stormy conversation
followed; but a pledge was given by the Chairman that
no steps whatever would be taken without the concurrence
of the Proprietary, obtained at a General Meeting,
The Meeting then adjourned.
