CLERKEN WELL.—(T HIS DAY.)
Mr. GREENWOOD, in taking his seat on the bench,
again called the attention of the Inspectors of the E
division to the gross negligence of some of their
officers. " On Monday last he mentioned that two
sailors had' been begging in the square in which he
resided (Woburn-square), telling the most plaintive
stories, accompanied by the most discordant yelling.
He took out his watch, and found they stood exactly
two minutes and a half before his window. They
roared so that if there were a policeman within a
mile of the Once, he could not but have heard them.
From almost every door and window half-
puce were thrown, or be should rather say
poured out. They remained half an hour in
the square, but no constable made his appear-
ance. He thought the constable on duty there
ought to be suspended. Within the last two days he
had received several letters from the inhabitants of
Gordon and Woburn-squares complaining not only of
mendicants, but of street music, and " crying the
wakes" as it was called ; both were contrary to the
Act of Parliament; and really it was too bad, if the
housekeepers, who sere taxed so heavily for the
maintenance of the police force, were not protected
from such gross nuisances. If it were not attended
to he should make application to another quarter.
Inspector Dudley promised compliance.

UNION HALL.—(TIIIS DAY.)
' Jane Murphy, an Irishwoman, was charged with
committing a desperate assault on Thomas Miles, a
countryman of her own, and inflicting a severe wound
on his head with a pair of tongs.
The complainant presented a hideous appearance,
with a deep gash across the upper part of his fore-
head, and his face covered with clotted blood. He
said that he lodged in the house with the prisoner, and
owed her some rent, which she asked him for
on the- previous night, and, being unable to pay it,
she threatened to turn him and his wife and chil-
dren into the street. He refused to quit the
place, when to enforce her orders she armed herself
with a pair of tongs, and while he had his infant in
his arms, and incapable of defending himself, she
raised the weapon, and struck him with it over the
forehead, inflicting the wound, which was visible. It
was stated that it was only miraculous the force with
which the blow was given had not deprived him of life.
The MAGisTuATE said the case was of too serious a
nature for him to deal summarily with, and he should
therefore commit her for trial.

NOTICE TO MASTERS 'AND OWNERS OF
BRITISH VESSELS.

The following has been received at Lloyd's from
her Majesty's Consul at Malaga:—
It may not be generally understood that British
vessels are allowed to engage in the transport of
Spanish coal from Gijon, in Biscay, to any other
place or port in the Peninsula, the restrictions on the
coasting trade having been rescinded in favour of this
particular article.

- The great consumption by the foundries and
smithing works on the south-east coast of Spain,
offers an advantageous market, and a consequent in-
ducement for British shipping to avail of the specu-
lation in, and the conveyance of, this fuel. The coal
is exceedingly cheap, and the freights equal to those
paid on this species of cargo from England.
Extract of a letter received at Lloyd's :
" Grenada, Nov. 2.
" We regret to announce that two cases of small-
pox has occurred on board the Crocodile transport,
which made its appearance after she left Demerara.
Every precaution has been adopted by the authorities
here to prevent its introduction into the island. The
Kate, brigantine, has been moved out into the bay,
and the cases put on board of her. The Crocodile
has been placed under strict quarantine for twenty-one
days should.no more cases appear."
