BOW-STREET.
Mr. Thomas, the active and unpaid constable of
hal parish of St: Paul's, Covent-garden, whose name
been so often before the public, is out of office,
0
t° the term of his constabulary having expired a
days since. At the last Vestry Meeting of the
Zabitants a vote was passed unanimously, request-
the Churchwardens to sign a requisition to the
;4gtstrates, by- which they were solicited to swear
tar,
Mr. Thomas special constable for the ensuing
p_ other constables having been chosen by the
k'nurt Leet.
Mr. Thomas presented that requisition this morn-
;ti-lb to Mr. Halls. The Magistrate took occasion
tomplain ,of a' report of the Inquest which ap-
Zated in the Morning Herald of Yesterday. That
ItO°tt Stated .that Mr. Thomas in his evidence upon
o before the Coroner had said that he had made
aPplication to Mr. Halls, relative to removing
e dissolute inhabitants. of the.houses in Exeter-
et adjoining these which bad lately fallen, the
11°Oses alluded to'haVing also been condemned. Mr.
'Us now warmly accused Mr. Thomas of having
iHated upon oath that which was untrue, as he
'sir. H.) protested that' no application had been
tde to him on the subject, and that he thought

lit Magistrate, when he did his duty, should be
L,leet to be misrepresented by a set of notoriety-
Thomas respectfully requested a hearing, and
after some interruptions, he assured the worthy
tliutgistrat e that he was no notoriety-monger;
tt Mr. Halls must have been labouring under
dad misconception which he could explain. He
said before the Coroner that he had been at
80\v-street , and had held a conversation in the back
I:ee with Mr. Halls and Mr. Minshull, Mr. Roche
klll present. He must now remind Mr. Halls,
t 'tt at that time.he (Mr. H.) had used the words
beieh had been stated:to .the Coroner, namely, that
bL (Mr. H.), thought no law could justify the Ma-
retrates in removing by force those persons from the
v. 150118 houses. Mr. Minshull had said at that con-
-01601_4. that he thought it the duty of a Magistrate
to stretch a point in order to preserve human life.
to )16," said Mr. Thomas, " is in substance the
t_Oversation which took place on that occasion, and
" Which I am now willing to be sworn.
HALLS insisted that no application had been
—lllle to him, and repeated his conviction that the
ao•-,a rates had no power to interfere, from the ex-
:erne' anxiety of the LegisFature to protect per-
Leotiensrin the right of possession. He then referred to a.
in the Herald of this day, which founded on
Ir- Thomas's evidence, had severely censured him,
,rld had praised Mr. Minshull to the skies. He
tUght it hard that the country should be told by
'`o„nee press that he had not done his duty. In refer-
lees to the requisition presented, he would submit it
.10 the other Magistrates, but he conceived there was
law to sanction the adoption of the course prayed
'4 by the requisition.

Filesbire, the lady of Sir DAVID ERSKINE, Bart.

There are said to have been nearly 2,000 sub-
tetiptions of one guinea each paid, by way of entrance
Itioney, this year, to the New Betting rooms at Doncaster.

A young vocalist, of more than ordinary
talents, who is the niece of Mrs. LISTON, will, it is said,
Shortly make her debut at one of the winter theatres. She

In the night of the '7th inst., a widow lad
Niroed TRoNviLLE, was murdered in her bed at La
Roche, in France. Two of her nieces, occupying an
apartment above that of their aunt, one of them, upon
)4earirig a noise, looked out of her window, and perceived
man-running across the court. The other went down
tlirs, and found her aunt weltering in her blood. The
etitl of the young ladies awakened the nuns of a convent
that joined the house of Madame TaoNvILLE ; the tocsin
Was sounded, and the neighbours flecked from all parts. A
ladder found against a wall marked the direction taken by
the murderer, and it was instantly determined to call a
tQason to follow his traces ; a M. li. was sent for, but no
sooner did he present himself than one of the neices ex.
"'aimed, " This is the murderer; I know him again !"
this declaration led to an inspection of his clothes, and
some 'spots of blood, recently washed, were discovered.
'the accused man denied all knowledge of the crime.
We think the state of society in the High-
lands muit be injured by the very unequal division of
14aded property. The Earl of BREADALBANE, an excel-
lent.noblemao, can ride about ninety miles in one direc-
tion en his own ground, and the Duke of AroorE pro-
l"ibly owns a surface half as large as the three Lothians.--
A nobleman like either Of these, placed amidst proprietors
With one or two thousand pounds per annum, is like a
Qhale among minnow. The inequality of condition is too
Rreat to permit the social feeling to operate freely, and
tl'e cannot help thinking that, in spite of the kind and
hospitable disposition of each of these noblemen, their vast
Possessions must create a sort Of moral solitude around
then?.' Both of them, however, we believe, spend the
rnter in London ; and during summer they have flocks of
Oglieh visitors of high rank, to drive away ennui from
.!tteir castles. We heard at Blair, that the Duke of ArooLE

one time, The situation of either of these noblemen com-
pletely realizes our highest idea of local greatness. At Dun-
or Blair, for instance, you hear perpetually of " the
