QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday George Hamilton was brought up for
final examination before Mr. GREGORIE, charged
with stealing a silver hunting-watch, with three
gold seals, valued at 71., from Serle's Coffee-house,
Carey-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields.• •
The prisoner gave himself up to John Brown, a
police-constable, on Friday evening, in King-street,
and confessed he had committed the robbery, the
particulars of which he detailed, and said he had
committed the felony for the purpose of getting
transported.
The prisoner was fully committed.
UNION-HALL.

Yesterday O'Neal, the pugilist, attended at his
office according to his promise, accompanied by two
housekeepers, for the purpose of entering into sure-
ties of 1001. each, in addition to the recognizances
of 2001., which he had been compelled to enter
into on the day that the fight between him and Dutch
Sun was to have taken place near Petworth, it 4
Sussex. The necessary bail having been put in and
approved of, Mr. CHAMBERS, addressing O'Neal, in-
qnired of him whether he apprehended Dutch Sam,
or whatever his name was, intended to provoke him
to commit a breach of the peace. " I ask you this
upon your oath," said the Magistrate, " for if you
entertain any such belief, I shall have no hesitation
in acting in such a manner as will speedily settle the
business."

O'Neal, in reply, said tbat,he had been insulted by
Dutch Sam since the occasion upon which he
(O'Neal) had entered into his own recognizance of
2001. not to fight him. It is not, howeyer, by him
that I fear I may be provoked to commit a breach
of the peace, but by others.
In the course of the proceedings Mr. CHAM-
BERS read the fellowing letter from the Mayor of
Guildford :

" SIB,—My attention has been called to the statement
in the Morning papers of yesterday relative to the assem-
blage of persons in the town on Monday last, to be pre-
pard for the disgusting exhibition which was contem-
plated between two of the prize-lighters a few miles off,
and particularly to the information given to you at Union-
hall by the police-officer, that he was interrupted in the
laudable and praisewot•thy exercise of his duty, to prevent
the intended outrage on society and decency, by a County
Magistrate.
" I have felt it my duty to inquire of the innkeeper at
whose house the imposition was practised on Hall, and I •
ant happy to he able to state, that the person who repre-
santed himself as a Magistrate was a perfect stranger in
this part of the country, and I venture to say that there is
nut the least foundation for the statement made by that
person that he was either a county or town Magistrate.
" I leave you to mike such use of this information as
may appear to you to be necessary.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
(Signed) " JOSEPH HAYDON, Mayor of Guildford."
Mr. CHAMBERS having again expressed his deter-
mination to omit no exertion on his part to prevent
a recurrence of prize fights, in that county at all
events, then ndvisedO'Neal to give into custodyany
person who endeavoured to incite him to commit a
breach of the peace. " You are. strong and stout
enough," said the Magistrate, " and should you
meet with any thing of the kind I have alluded to,
take the person by the collar, give him into the
custody of a constable, and then bring him before
me, and I shall soon deal with him in such a manner
as will prevent a recurrence of the kind."
O'Neal, having said that he should act in such an
emergency as the Magistrate had suggested; then
withdrew.

TITHE LAWS.—A meeting of payers and
receivers of tithes in the county of Devon was held on
Wednesday, at which it was resolved to present a requisi-
tion to the Sheriff, requesting him to call a county meet-
ing, in order that its sense might be expressed to Parlia-
ment on the present state of the tithe laws. The Hon.
N. FELLOW KS was called to the Chair. He stated that
it was the intention of Ministers to introduce some mea-
sure into Parliament with a view to an arrangement in
regard to tithes, and that a Bill was preparing for that
purpose.

General SANTANDER, formerly Vice-Pre-
sident of Colombia, has arrived at Hamburg.. It is known
that a decree of exile was issued against him, in conse-
quence of a conspiracy against BouvAa. He is reported
to possess a fortune of 3,000,000 francs, half of which be
has brought with Mot in gold. On the day of his arrival
in Hamburg, he wished to pay his expences in small ingots,
but the citizens not being accustomed to money of that
description, refused them ; but they were better informed
the next day. SANTANDsn's complexion is like that of
Europeans, but his children resemble mulattoes. They
speak French, and are agreeable in person. It is thought
the General will come to reside in Paris.—French Paper.

We have on several former occasions noticed,
the difference which exists between the Rev. W. J. ST.
Aunvx, Rector of Stoke Damerel, and his parishionets,
relative to his demanding the sum of 21. 125., every time
a vault is opened in the burying-ground at Stoke Church,
for the interment of a body. The subject has been dis-
cussed at several Vestry meetings, and nothing definitive
has been agreed to, but the circumstance we are now china
to detail, will, we have no doubt, bring the In:Ater to an
issue. Mr. BLACKMORV, a respectable inhabitant of De-
vonport, in that parish having a son die, a few days since,
gave notice to the Church authorities, that he wished to
have his vault in the churchyard opened, in order to have the
body of his son interred. In reply to this the gsual, 4.3p,50
was made on behalf a t!!,1.4.t.ctz.1-,• Titieli being refused, the
consequence was, the Rector imagined that he was only de_
mantling that which was his right, denied (unless this
amount was paid) having the vault °petits!. • Mr,BLACX..
MOM notwithstanding this, gave notice that the body of
his son would be brought to the burying-ground for inter-
ment, on Wednesday evening last, by four o'clock, which
was accordingly done, and on the arrival of the funeral
proce,sion at the church, Mr. B.'s professional advis :r at-
tended the Rector in the vesty, when .thz
Gentleman still maintained his ground, contending tbat
until his demand was complied with, the vault klOth:d
not be opened, and acquainting the parties that be had
caused a grave to be opened in annthei. part of the chin eh-
yard for the interment of the body, where he (the Rector)
should go; and remain a sufficient time in order to perform
the funeral service, if the body was brought there. The
parties then separated. Mr. B. being determined that his
son's body should be interred in the fa:nily vault, and that
without paying the Rector's demands marred the hearse to,
convey the body hack to his residence; this was done
anti at a great concourse of persons, thought we shouht
obset ye not the least disposition towards disorder st.r vio-
lence was displayed. The body will be placed in a lead
coffin, and deposited in a temporary mausoleum erected ia
his garden, till the right be determined, immediate steps
being taken to bring the cause to a hearing before the pro-
per authorities. The circumstance has excited a consider-
able interest in this extensive parish and its neighbour-
