POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

OITTRAGES OF THE MOB
MANSION-lious Yesterday C. Clements,
E. Davies, Edward H inch, C. Heels, and two
others, were brought before the LORD MAYOR,
by Mr. Gould, a respectable tradesman, residing
at No. 74, Cheapside, 'on charges of having dis-
charged fireworks, and committed other offences
against the public peace. The parents of the
prisoners pleaded loudly in their favour the
licence usually allowed upon such occasions as
their defence. Mr. G. with the permission of
the Lord Mayor, declined prosecuting the pri-
soners. His only object was to spew to his neigh-
bours and fellow-citizens that these things might,
be stopped if persons were willing to help them-
selves, which they might always do in a much
more effectual manner than any could do for
them.--The Lord Mayor discharged the pri-
sonbrs, after a severe admonition.
QUEEN'S-SQUARE.—LThe Magistrates and Offi-
cers, with all the extra constables at this Office,
were again on the alert on Monday night. Mr.
RAYNsFonn at to hear all charges brought in

till midnight. The first charge was brought in
by Alfred Pople and one of tlit extra constables,
who were on duty in Palmer's Village, and hear-
ing a great tumult and repeated discharges of,
fire-arms, they proceeded to the spot, and ap•
-
prehended a corporal of the Coldstream Regi-
ment in the act of discharging a horse-pistol, and•
brought him to the Office. The prisoner said he
had been on duty all day to that moment, that
he came out of his quarters without cap, and
took the pistol from some man who escaped ; that

ACCIDENTS; &c. DURING THE ILLUMINATIONS ON
MONDAY NIGHT.
A respectable looking woman, in company with
her husband, in going up llolborn, between eight
and nine o'clock, had her nose nearly carried
away and her face dreadfully disfigured by some
miscreant, who- discharged a pistol loaded with
gunpowder in her face. She was carried into a
tobacconist's shop near Red Lion-street,in dread-
ful pain. About 11 o'clock,as a procession of fel-
lows bearing torches were going along Long-acre,
firing off pistols and throwing squibs and cracker-s,
some mischievous vagabond threw a squib undir
the feet-of the spirited horses in a gentleman's
carriage, in which were .three ladies and a .gen-
tleman ; the squib exploding, frightened _the
horses, which
.became unmanageable, and plung-
ed forward amongst the crowd,
,who Were
thickly wedged together and could not im-
mediately het out of the way. One man fall.-
ing, was trampled under the horses feet, .and
one of the wheel's passing over his neck, killed
him on the spot. A boy had likewise both his
legs broken in the crowd. - At the top of Saf-
fron-hill, near Vine-street, the greatest eolifa-
sion and alarm prevailed. A gang of fellows fro-
cured six or eight pieces of small cannon- from a
broker's shop, which they mounted on pieces of
wood placed across the' street, and fired them
repeatedly along the street, to the great terror mid
'danger of an immense number of persons asseni,
bled ; many persons of both sexes were severely
injured. The constables were not sufficiently
numerous to interfere, until Mr. Smart, the llig7‘t
Constable, with William Read, sen. one of the
Jlatton-garden Police-officers, with a strong party
arrived, and succeeded in.seizing on the cannon
and dispersing the rabble.. Between eleven and
twelve o'clock_a fire broke out at the house of ,a
cooyer, living at No. 19, Little Saffron.hill, by
which all that was in the kitchen and shop over
,head were burned, together with the furniture,
'and 'a bureau, in which be had betweeii forty and
fifty .poundS in Bank-notes. Several persons
were severely hurt on the approach of the en-
gines. When the fi-re was subdued the cause was
discovered, ' a cat being fe,nnd in a corner of tlw
kitchen amongst some light waott nearly burned
to death,,with a link tied to its tail, and which
some incendiary had set fire to and threw in at
the kitchen window. Six persons were charged,
at Ilatton-Garden Office, for firing off squibs,
and were each convicted in a penalty of twenty
shillings. ,

Saturday evening a dreadful accident happened
to Mr. Rogers, a master tailor, living in Well-
close-square ; while firing off a loaded musket,
it unfortunately burst, and shattered his left
arm from the elboW.
