LAMBETH-STREET.

A ruffianly looking fellow, who gave his name James
Bird, was brought before Mr. WYATT, charged by Keys,
an officer of Bow-street, with collecting a mob, and
hawking inflammatory publications in the Whitechapel-
rOad.
From the statement of Keys it appeared that while on
his patrole, yesterday morning, his attention was attracted
by a very crowded mob assembled in the road, and a per-
son in the centre flourishing some papers, and haranguing
finis,: about him with violent gesticulations. He went
up to ascertain what was going on, and heard the prisoner
addres,ing his audit Ors in language calculated to excite a
bread' of the peace, and urging on them the purchase of
some paper, which he called " a dialogue on the Catholic
question." He desired him to desist, but he refused, and
he (Keys) being convinced that if there had been any
Is ishman or Roman Catholic within his hearing, there
would have been some violent outrage, on his refusal to
leave the place he took both him and Isis papers into charge,
and brought him in custody to the office.
Mr.•WYArT asked what was the nature of the papers?
:-Keys said that they were of a religious character, and
reflected in a very seditious and inflammatory manner
upon his Majesty's Ministers and their conduct in con-
nexion with the Catholic. Relief Bill. The papers, about
3,000. in number, were here handed to the bench, and
were headed, " An account of a conversation between St.
Paul's Cathedral and the Monument." The printer's
name was Carpue and Son, Roselane, Spitalfields. The
Duke of Wellington was accused of treason, and Mr. Peel
• as his abettor in his designs.
Mr. WYATT agreed with the officer that these publica-
tions were of a nature to excite turbulence and diSorder,
and approved of his conduct in apprehending the prisoner;
who was vending them. _ _ _

The prisoner in his defence pleaded poverty, and said
that from a weakness in his hands he could not otherwise
support life.
Mr. WYATT observed that this might be the case, but,
however, he could not be permitted to make these ha-
rangues, or vend such publications as were calculated to
tend to a breach of the peace, if not fir worse conse-
quences ; he must, therefore, find bail for his good beha-
viour for the next three months, and give 24, hours' notice
of its solvency.

ELSINORE, APRIL 14.—We have of late
had strong gales from the south and south-east, with some
fro;st and snow ; the Elizabeth Prussian mdritz that left
there on the 11 th inst. for the Baltic returned yesterday,
having been beset by the ice off Faistorbo, where the whole
of the ships that sailed on the 11th are partly in the ice,
and partly cruizing about to avoid it. Some have lost
anchors and cables.

Letters from Memel of the 11th inst. state
that during the month they had thaw and rain, the cur-
rent had removed the ice from the bar, in which 14 feet
water was found. The ice in the river was still fast, and

much is to he seen at sea along the
navigation cannot be expected Wore
