miral, proceeded to their different ports as they
neared them, all well.

HAMPSTEAD CANAL.—A MonetooS body of ex-
cavators commenced active operations yesterday,
in the garden grontids of Counsellor AGAR, cowl-
goons to his house, near . St. Pancras Church
(which has been so long a matter of litigation in
the Court of Chancery, between the Grand Junc-
tion Canal Company and the above learned Gen-
tleman), in order to proceed towards the com-
pletion o this great undertaking, and to join the
openings made at the Hampstead-road and White
Conduit House. A bridge is to be thrown across
Maiden-lane, in consequence of the canal being
cut through this road leading to Highgate. The
two great dust hills of so long standing, near
White Conduit House, ate also removing, to faci-
litate the scheme ; and during part of the summer
the paupers of Mary-le-bone were made useful, as
well as profitable, in .being employed upon them,
the above parish, it is said, having contracted to
remove theca at a certain price. The channel of
the New River, at Rhodes's cow-ground, has been
completely turned, and the tunnel is in great for-
wardness.

STAGE CnACHES.—Yesterday the Sitting Ma-
gistrate at Union Hall refet red to the Act ot Par-
liament for the Regulation'of Stage Coaches, and
delivered an opinion respecting offence's under
that Act, highly important to the proprietors and
driver. of those vehicles. The information, he
said, upon which be had just decided, set forth,
that the offence complained of took place in the
County of Surrey, on the 7th inst,ort ; and in the
fletence it wa,s s:a, cd, ihat for-the same offence
an information was laid 41 Portamooth, which
stated, that the vio'ooion ot the Act of Parlia-
ment took place on the Sib, io the. county of
1-.l,,nts. He was decidedly of opinion, that the
law would not consider it as the same offence, but
their a fresh offence was incurred io a &Grew
county, and that a fine might he inflicted in
every fresh juriAdicrion through which the coach
travelled, and continued to carry more than the
leg .I number of passengers, and it was therefore
possible that a 111 iver of a stage-coach might
by the illegality of his conduct. incur a penalty
idt ruinous magnitode on the same day, when
he might be satisfied in his own mind that his
breach of the- law could not extend beyond the
punishment of inflic.ing a penalty of 101. for each
pas,,eneer beyond the proper numher, even should
he persist in the offence throughout the journey.
Several 'proprietors of sta:.,,:e coaches were pie-
sent, and appeared to feel much astonishment at
the above opinion.

His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT has
been pleased to direct, that the Order which
points out that the Staff Serjeauts of Regiments
of Cavalry shall receive eight shares of the rewards
to tvhich troops are entitled, on the seizure
of smuggled goods, and sixteen. shares, if the
patty actually make the seizure, shall he consi7
tiered applicable only to the Regimental Serjeaut-
Major •and Troop Ser.Hnt-Ajors, and that the
Serjeant Saddler, Serjeant- Schoolmaster, and
Troop Serjeant, shall share equally with the other
Surjeanr.:,

ately expired.
Saturday se'tinight, as two of Mr. J. Richard-
ehil.:leu were rettirning from school .(oppo-
site Mrs. in gong-street, and next
door to their father's Louie), a home was there
feetli btionging to Mr. Jardine, *I carrier from
Harrington, which snatched at and drew the oldest
(a gtri) under his te,t, and tr:,mpled upon her
hick, so as to occasion medical Aid to be
called. The younger Child, srill retaining her
sister's hand, w.s also attacked by the
horse, and also drawn tinder its feet, but re-
ceived no injury, trs tintrly assist:ince came to
them both ; but as the person teas in the act of res-
cuing them tram their perilous sislial ion, the horse
made a snatch [bong,' without effect.—
Mr. R. obtained a summons froni the Aragitrates,
arid brought the servant tip who trail left the
horse in the street, without any person to take care
of it. He
.was fined in the fiLll penalty of 10s.
and costs. Mr. R. was advised by the Magistrates
to prefer a bill of indictment against the owner ot
the horse, but as the man promi'sed the horse
should never come to town
.avain without a 'wiz.. ,

beautiful works there exhibited for the study of
young Artists. The PRINCE ILEGENT, who is
President of the Instittitiou, and has always par-
tieuLirly patronised it, has permitted some of the
most esteemed works of his own valuable collec-
tion to remain there also for the same purpose.
