ANOTHER FIRE IV NEW-STREET.

The neighbour hn,341 of New-street. Covent-garden,
Was thrown iflto the most indescribable state of alarm
this morning, about three o'clock, by the discovery of
a body of fire in the lower part of the pretui,es of Mr.
Rawley, boot and shoe-maker, in New-street. The
watchman gave the alarm instantly; anti the terror and
dismay spread, may be better conceived than penned.
The late dreadful catastrophe -remained still fresh in
'mind, and the inhabitants were seen leaving their
houses in almost a state of nudity. Notwithstanding
the most strenuous exertions to arouse the inmates of
Mr. itawley's house, no admission could be obtained,
until the arrival of the Westminster firemen, who are
stationed in Bedfcrdbury. The men immediately fell
to work with their pickaxes, and by the time the en.
gine had been drawn out, a set ong body of men were
ready with water, and the door war forced open, when
the whole of the lower part of the premises was found
to be one body of fire. Too much praise cannot be
given to the firemen for their exertions on the occasion;
and after labouring with the utmost energy, they suc-
ceeded in subduing thellames.` - So great was the alarm
spread, that the engines frOm all parts of the town con-
tinued to arrive up tti. five o'clock. The damage done
is very great._ - •

GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.
The first half yearly meeting of this Company took
place yesterday, pursuant to advertisement, at the City
of Londoi Tavern, Bishopsgate-street ; HYLTON Jot.-
urn, Esq. M.P. in the Chatr.
The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the meeting, stated,
that by the indefatigable exertions of the Directors they
had surmounted all the difficulties which hid presented
themselves, but that owing to the extensive business of
the Company, they had not been able to make up their
_accounts in a fit state to present them to the Auditors.
They were, however, enabled to declare a. dividend
which far-exceeded their expectations. The Chairman
then said, that the receipts of the Company would ap-
pear by the ;fermi of the Directors, which would be
.read. Mr: Bessell then.read.the Report, by which it
appeared, that id -April last the Directors were intrusted
with the sum oflo,ooo/, for the purpose of carrying the
object orklilleamp'kny into execution; with this sum
they built and purchased no less than 15 steam packets,
•which Convey 'passengers from London to Ostend,
ICalais, Dunkirk, armburgh, Margate, Ramsgate, and'
Yastmouth, and from Ramsgate to Boulogne, and from
Margate to Calais. Up to the 31st of July, the total
receipts of the Company amounted to no less a sum
than 27,2321. out of which sum the Directors had to
deduct the sum of 16,6481. for salaries and expenses,
leaving a balance of 10,5861. clear profit, being a divi-
dend of eight per cent. on each share, which is at the
Irate of 16 per cent. per annum—a dividend which the
Committee had very just expectations of being able to
declare at the next half yearly meeting. Tire Report
then proceeded to state, that the Directors proposed to
the consideration of the Shareholders that the sum of

1,039/. should be paid to them, for expenses incurred in
the formation of the Company, out of the sum of BsOol.
being the amount of the profit arising from the sale of
shares which remained undistributed at the commence
ment of the Company, leaving a balance of 70001. at the
disposal of the Company. The Report was received by
the Shareholders with considerable satisfaction.

A dividend of eight per cent. was then duly declared,
and the sum of 70001. the net profit arising from the
sale of Shares, was ordered to be paid over to the
Shareholders, in the shape of bonus.

DEATH OF DAWKINS, THE POLICE OFFICER.—A few
weeks age, it will be recollected, a man named Collins,
the coachman of Lady Lambert, was charged with
feloniously drivitig his coach over Dawkins, an Officer
of-Marlborough-street Establishment, while at a rout
at the mansion of Lord George Cavendish. From the
evidence it appeared that the conduct of Collins, on
that occasion, was most improper, and so reckless was
he of the consequences of his violence, that the Bail
of Westmorland stated, if Dawkins had not been rode
over, he certainly should, as it was impossible for
both to have avoided injury. Both wheels passed over
D.'s thighs, and he received a violent kick on the back.
Collins was admitted to bail at that time, hopes being
entertained that Dawkins, with skilful treatment, would
have recovered ; but the poor fellow had endured
gre.it anguish in St. George's Hospital, where he died
yesterday morning. Officers were sent to apprehend
Collins the instant the death of Dawkins was known,
and yesterday he was brought to the above Office.—
He appeared to be a good deal agitated, and Mr. Boa
ordei ed him to be remanded till the result of the Co-
roner's Inquest was kruiwn, es he was not prepared to
say whether be v,ould be committed for murder or for
Manslaughter. Lady Lambert had th.chaiged the

YORK AUGUST M HETI NG.—(Tntett DAY; WanonrAr).
' After our account left York on Tuesday evening, the betting
men assembled at the York Tavern, and a, great deal of business
was done. The event of the T. Y. O. Stakes was a poser to them,
the colt least thought of, and about which they betted 12 to 1,
beating all their favourites. The decision caused an alteration in
the betting for the Thirty Sovereign Stakes to.morrow ; for thaw
who had been looking to the running of His Worship as a guide to
their speculations ou His Grace, immediately held back, and he
went behind Porto. The betting on the Sr. Leger becomes now
very interesting, and varies every hour; and it requires all the cal.
culating powers of the knowing ones to keep their books right. The
result of the Thirty Sovereign Sweepstake may be a criterion for
them; and should Homer, who is first favourite for it at 7to 4
and 2 10 1, Win it, they will take 10 to 1 about him for the St.
Leger. Cleveland has flunuated strangely since the commence-
ment of the Meeting, having first got up several points, and then-
receded with equal rapidity. The crack mare Altisidota, which
was backed against him in town, has also gone back, and her de-
feat today, by a colt of which very little was thought, and th3t
has been beat more than once, will most likely conclude her. The
winners of the Produce and Filly Stakes are in the St. Leger: The

TYTHXS.

F.\ Yesterday a numerous and respectable Meeting of the
inhabitants of the perish of Sc. Olive, Hitt-street, was'
held in the Vestry-room of the Church, to adopt catain
Resolutions, relative to the following letter that was
received by the Chairman of the Tythe Committee of
that Parish from the Rev. Dr. Owen, V e Rector—
Mr. Jones, the Churchwarden, in the Chair.
"Sm—Sinee the Tythe Committee of my Parish must be aware
that their late application to Parliament bath impokd on me a
heavy expense. I should holstein their sense of justice will induce
them to defray It —Your g. faithfully, •
• • " 11. a OWEN.
" Rectory, Hart-street, July 8, 182.5.
N To Mr. Jones, Chairman of the said-Committee."
After the Requisition concerning the Meeting had been read,
Mr. RYLAND said, that atter the Petition, which was
dm-inc the last Session presented to P.,rliament, respect-
ing Ihe Tythes of the Parish, he had to ped the
Patidtioners would have bten allowed to remain in
quietness until the question MIS again agitated in the
1-lou,e of Commons. In presenting that Petition, his
fel.low-iratisitioners had done no more than esercise one
of the noblest tights of Englishmea. Although on that
occasion Mr. Peel and the Bishop of London had
said, th :t 2s. 91. in the pound was payable by the law
pf the laud, yet he still thought otherwise. The recent
exaction had been avowed by the Rector to be a sat
of punishment for those who had signed the Petition;
which, on being presented to the I....%;slatute, was
heard, and the question lairl; itegued ; and although
there was a great op.;:::sition to it-from the Ministerial
Pt.r. the Bill was, notwithstanding, ordered to be
;rad I second time, and the question stood over until
next Session. In the meantime, he was sorry that
threats had been held out to those persons who had
signed the Petition. and an endeavour made to compel,
those only to pay the abominable sum of 23. 9d. in the
pound. The rental of the Parish could not fairly be
reckoned at more than 11,0001; although the -Rector
had estimated it at 18,0001.
Mr. Saunas observed. that the Rector only intended
receiving the extra sum for one quarter. to enable
him to defray the expenses he bad been at in opposing
the Petition, and that if there wets any overplus, •it
would be returned.
Mr. DAVY said, lie had heard the Rector declare he'
would have the money out of the pockets of those
whose names graced the foot of the Petition.
Mr. Hitt said he entertained no hostile feeling to-
wards the Rector, but, from a sense of the duty he
owed to his fellow-parishioners, he would move the
first Resolution.
Mr. RoLPIt said, that neither Carlisle, Paine, nor
any deistical writer, could do half so much harm to the
cause of Religion as the conduct of Dr. Owen. His
services as a Christian Teacher were so little valued,
that several of his
.congregation left the Church last
Sunday morning on his ascending the pulpit. His con-
. duct had turned the pulpit into a counting-house, and
the Bible into a day-book; and had made Divinity a
trade. He concluded by moving the second Resolution,
which is as carried unanimously.
Mr. Si UE3S said he had known the Rector 18 years,
and always considered him an uptight and honourable
wan. The Doctor would refund all that went beyond
the stipend he had before received, after deducting the
exyenses he had been pat to by the Petition.
Mr. Tutamott asked Mr. S. if he were authorized by
the Doctor to say so? to which he replied in the ne.

gative; but said he had the information fro?n his son.
Several other Gentlemen afterwards addreised the Meeting
at chnilderable length, *fbr whose speeches we are enable to
and coops.
'A cops of the Resolutions was ordered to be transmitted to the
Rector. in answer to his letter; and after voting thanks to the
Chairman, the Meeting separated.

The latest letters from Sunderland state, that the
terror and alarm which existed in-the whole town dtir-
ing gnat part of last week had considerably subsided;
and le was believed that the prompt and vigorous mea-
sures cf the police., the verdicts of justifiable homicide
en the bodies of the rioters, and the commitment of the'
audacious witness, Williamson. for rioting, hid pro.
(Neel a considerable effect in-bringing the majority of
the seamen to a sense of their duty.
The preventive boat at Smith's. Gap station, cap-
tured, on-Thursday morning last, a valuable galley,
forty-two feet long, laden with tobacco, paintings, spi-
rits of brandy and gin, silks, etc. said to be the most
valuable cargo taken an that neighbourhood these two
or three years.

.ST'Mtd Ar,Vewics.—A letter from Venice, in a
F: each Pa; erstates, that a violent tempest was expo-
einiced at 'Vebice in the afternoon of the 231 ult.—
The hutricale commenced with a deluging shower of
rain. during, which it-was impossible to •see to the
di .tance of 100 pay.s. The rain was succeeded by
hail•liones of the size of eggs, which broke the glass
of all windows not protected by shutters. When die
sky cleared somewhat up, it was melancholy to see the
vessels in the roads driving fast, and in imminent dan•
!ter of running ashore. Had the tempest cobenued a
lit le loner, they wouisl have all been lost. As it was,
a number of gondolas a isl boats went down. The ves-
sels a: the leoer lazaretto suffered most. A three-
masted vessel struck on the coast, hut she was got off.
On the noticing of the 24th, three dead bodies were.
found in the canal, and one in the Guideeca. Several
fishing-boats a hich were out have not ietutned, and it
is`supposed they are lost. It is probable that the tem-
pest extended to Trieste, as the steam-boat which sails
botaeen that port and Venice had not arrived in the
regular course. •

tiers' from Mr. GouLstray. to carry into effect, with as

Mary Colmar was indicted for the wilful murder of,
'a woman unknown, on the 112 d of April last, near a
place called New IlisuinThem, on the -.borders of else
Ceunty Hilkerwry. .
It arFeared that the prisoner was an abandoned ci.a
racier, ant associated w;th another female named
Eden Johnson, Who was still .more lost to all sense of
shame. While strolling together through the country,
they met with the dece.ised, who wks an •unhappy.
creature of similar habits, and the three agreed to. pur-
sue their 'common course of iniquitf in the vicinity of
the barracks at New Birmingham. They were, how-
ever, reduced to the most deplorable state of destitution,
having frequently been forty-eight hours without fond.
On cnie of those occasions the prisoner stole a few pota-
toet, and proceeded with her companions to an adjacent
limTkiln for the purpose of roasting them.
Eilenjohnson now stated; that while at the litnekilns
a quarrel arose between the prisoner and the deceased,
who having first receivei a violent blow on the hack of
her head, was thrown by the prisoner into the binning
kiln, where the body was discovered next day in a most
shocking state. The legs a►:d arms were literally
burned off, and the trunk partly consumed. The wit.
ness Johnson further deposed that sh:? wisketi to sure the
deceased, but that the prisoner exclair..ed, " Let her lie
in the kiln and ue d—d to her," pulling a itriess away at
the same time, while the latter fainiel on seeing such a
frightful spectacle.
The testimony of Wien Jansen was corroborated in many par-
tiesiarsty smoother witnesses ; but as it appeared on cross.eaa•
mutation that she was a most infamous woman, and had mune
forward ruder the apprehension of being prosecuted herself, the
Jury gave no credit to what she swore, and acquitted the prisoner.

DREADFUL THUNDER STORM IN IT® LY.

COLTERETO PARZLLA, JULY 24.
(ix THE racnurci OE JOREA).

A most dreadful storm in the course of last night,
has spread desolation over this district. The whole
of yesterday the sky was covered with heavy clouds,
and at midnight profound darkness prevaileJ, only
broken by frequent dashes of lightning. Instead of
the usual sound of thunder, a low universal rumbling
preceded for half an hour the destructive hail, which fell
in impetuous torrents, driven by the North wind. The
intense darkness, the sound of the bells, the crash of the
hail, that of the roofs and windows shattered to pieces,
with the mournful cries of the country people, in-
spired universal terror, more easily conceived than de-
acribed. At half.past one o'clock the fury of the tem-
pest abated, and we only heard the distant rolling of
the thunder. The dawn of day came but too soon tol
shew us the extent of the disaster ; the vineyards which
promised the richest crops, the fields which gave the
most flattering hopes, are become a desert; as far as
the eye can reach not a trace of vegetation is to be
seen: the fields, the roads, the roofs are covered with
hail: it is noon, and the stones are still the size of a
hens egg on a wide extent of country not a note of a
bird is to be heard ; the country people are gathering
them up by baskets lull, killed and mutilated by the
hail, and they find in the furrows numbers of hares and
foxes, victims of this tremendous visitation. The damage
done to the houses and other buildings is vzry cond.
derable. It is impossible to estimate the extent of the
injury, but it is certain that the vineyards and planta.
I tions of Aleige are wholly ruined. Thi. storm swop/

one of the recruits, owing to the sudden movement o!

river, and unfortunately drowned.
Sunday week, seven young men went from the Vil-
lage of Farnworth to Widness wharf, opposite to Run-
corn, to bathe, when four of them met an untimely
death, and the other three had nearly shared a similar
fate. The names of those drowned are Dweryhouse,
Parr, Rose, and Piercy. The bodies were found in
about two hours, but their features were so much die-
lighted, as scarcely to Ee recognized by the parents.
DREADFUL ACCIDEKT6.—Tuesday evening, a Gentie•
man dismounted from his horse in Portland-place, and
gave it to be held by a boy on the spot. The Gentle-
man had scarcely entered the house, when the boy
mounted the horse, and the animal ran off at full speed.
The boy held by the mane until he reached the corner
of All Souls Church, when he lost his seat, and his foot
catchiog in the stirrup, I,e was dragged a considerable
distance, liis head striking the ground. A Grattleman
named Valence, obstrving the peii ous situation of the
boy, ran fiurn the pavement, and caught the horse by
the bridle; but while ettficatitig_ the boy, the animal
struck the litc'e fel'ow with his tore-foot on the head,

Mary-la-bonne, fell from the scaffsrld of one of the, new
houses now building in Dorset-square, and beingitruck
by. one of the projecting roles in his fall, came to the
grOund nearly doubled. He was immediately conveyed
to the Mary-la-bcnne Infirmary.
Bouvan.7-While as patriotic leader lived in King-
ston, Jamaica, he applied himself unremittingly to the
study of Europe in tactics, and though absent, unwil-
lingly absent, for a time, from the scene of action, was
constantly employed in committing to raper the plans
of battles, which he afterwards so successfully reduced
to practice. In particular, he eagerly embraced every
opportunity of watching the manceavres of the troops
about Kingston ; and such was his enthusiasm and
mental abstraction, that lie was frequently seen stand-
ing in the front of the line, unconsciously acting the
part of a fuglernau. This citcumstance, together with
his constant appearance on the drill-ground, naturally
attracted the attention of the Commanding Officer,
who, having learnt the character and quality of the
stranger, very obligingly ordered his men to repeat
occasionally some of those movements in which Bolivar
took the greatest interest. Short as his residence in the
island was, he added much to his previous stock of mi-
litary knowledge; and when Morillo next met him in
the.field, he found be had a new enemy to contend
with, and the Liberator is candid enough to ascribe
much of his subsequent good fortune to his accidental
visit to Jamaica.—Dumfries Courier.

Patrol:4a: nu' days by feasting And P4blic :amusements,

Piovine to be present on these occasioos, and the
Money received from ea.:h couple for dancing was.

o. ornarnentiog the Church. BO a total reformation
is, it appears, about to be had in these matters at pre-
sent ; for M.Raiinbout, Cure of Neill*, has denounced
these merry meetings as being most impious and cri.
minal. He has forbidden his flock to be present at
them, and has obstinately refused for a long time back
to give the Sacrament to—what he calls the arch agent
Of Satan—t%e poor village minstrel, who supported al
large family by making his neighbours gay and happy
with the sound of his pipe and tambourine. Ti;:s
aa-
fottunate ex-Orpheus addressed a memoiial to the
Bishot) of Perpignan, to he. received the follow-
ing rather curious reply Sir, your long complaint
ag:tinst your Cure has reached my Lord, who commands
me thus to reply to it. It is unfortunate that you are
not in a situation to enable y::u to support your family-
without wcrlting ; bet you must allow there ate other''
intans of gaining a livelihood besides that daugerous
art which )cu exercise, and which, by exciting the
passions of others, must lay a grievous burden upon
your ct.,nscience." The letter then recommends him to
submit ia olicitly to his Cure, without which there is no
salvation or Sacrament for him.

POLICE iNTELLIUENCE.
GUILDHALL.

H. Waldrick, Turner, and R. avant, journeymen hat roams-
facturers, were remanded, on suspicion of basing robbed their em-
ployer, Mr. Constable, of Comb:nig', of a large quantity of fur, end
other materials, used in the factory.
BOW-STREET.

Last evening, at eight o'clock, Mr. Wilfinss CAtilnuts, the late
clerk of blears. Hoare, the bankers, in Fleet-street, who has been
several• weeks in custody on charges of embezeßng Exchequer Bills
to the amount of £l,OOO and upwards, the property of his em-
ployers, was brought from the House of Conecdon, and underwent
a final examination. The'prisoner, when first taken into custody.
was privately exarninedlefore Sir ROMAN> Bigets, and remanded
for a week? but when the appointed dal arrived, the order for his
bang brought up was countermanded, and so it was, from time to
time, until last night.
Mr. Law attended for the prosecution last evening, and Mr.
Harmer appeared as the prisoner's solicitor.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. William Watfield, a pay-
master of Exchequer Bills, that it is the custom every year, upon a
new issue of those bills, to call in the old ones ; and persons pre-
senting the latter hires the option either to take the new bills in ex-
change or money. In September, 1824 the bills paid in Settember,
1823, were called in, and new bile given in exchange. This wit-
nese produced a list of Racketeer bilis of 14123, to the amount of
af4Ts,4oo,brogght into the payagke to be exchanged for the same
amount of bills of 1824, with interest, on account of Messrs. Hoare.
The witness next produced' a receipt for the bills, slgoerl on the
back William Christmas, fur -Messrs. Wm. Hoare and Co. -and a
draught to the amount of the interest. upon the bills. Mr. Wat-
, geld further stated, in answer to a question front Mr. Law, that
there avert never two Exchequer bills of the same number issued
in the*saitte year. The issue of -each year commenced at No.l,
and went on.
Mr. Robert*Cottoniof the house of Mesas. Hoare, deposed that
; •
the rortnotanduns and signature on the receipt produced by Mr.
Watgeld were thettodAeritingnf 'the prisoner.
T.Makeourcit" -broka. stated, that on the 224 Jupe
be received from and for Mr. William Christmas (the prisoose)
Exchequer /3414-Not 8,04, 5,535, and 3,556, each for 1001: and
paid the produce, with tht usual deduations, to him. They were
bills Of the lit his= of 1824. On the 25th June witness received
from the prisoner three more Exchequer bills for 1001. each. Nos.
$,55174,15211, and 3,529, which he also so-al. On the 14th of July
he received and sold four other bills of the same issue tor Via each
Nos. 10,530,10,531, 10,532, and 10,333 ; making altogether 10004
Witness received draughts for the amount of these bills from 31r.
Harman, and paid over the money to the prisoner. The witness
was never concerned for iEebisan of Hoare and CA

partners of the Ann;
Other evidence was then called to prove that the prisoner bad
brought to account 100 W less than he had received on the Bache.
qua bills mentioned.
Sir R. Banat having understood that this was the whole of the
evident* intended to be offered on this chap, asked the prisoner
Jibe had any remark to make? at the same time cautioning hint that
it was not absolutely necessary for him to speak.
The prisoner said he should have an observation or two to make
before the close of the examination.
A second charge was then preferred against the prisoner, andl
uhstantiated by' evidence, for embattling a Sc!. note, part of the
interest upon the bills, which waspaid to him in money at the Bank
of England.
Mr. Law said this was the close of his case against the _prisoner,
and he presumed Sir R. Birnle would think there was suffident to
warrant a full committal?—Sir R. Bunn replied in the affirmative.
Mr. Harmer said be had one request to make on behalf of the
prisoner. He bad been in an ill state of health almost from the
moment of his apprehension on these charges, and had, indeed, been
in the Infirmary the greater pan of the time of his confinement in
the House of Correction. and it would be a*vay great indulgence
to him to be permitted to go bask there till the Sections. instead of
being sent to Newgatc. His comforts would be greater and he
would have the benefit of the:attendance of the awe Medical Gen-
tleman. Mr. Harmer added, that be believed it was the wish of
the prisoner to make an observation himself on a subject of consi-
derable delicacy.
The prisoner, advancing to the table, said—" It leas gone abroad
that my present situation is owing to an a certain female intimacy,
and I wish to take this opportunity of declaring publicly, that there
is no foundation whatever for such a supposition. I solemnly de-
clare that it is not true, and that ray present predicament is owing
entirely to =faunae speculations on the Stock Exchange' (The
prisoner here produced a written account, in which it was male to
appear that he bad lost upwards of 60001. by speculations in the
funds or in joint stock shares).
Sir •IL Banos—You had better have said nothing. Tou don't
know what you ant doing. I cautioned you before, but if you will
talk, I must hear you:
Prisoner—My only object. Sir, was to clear the character of a
Lady who has been most unjustly calumniated.
Mr. Lawmid this was all extraneous matter. He had to apply
to the Magistrate en another subject. lie understood that Mr.
Vickery. the :Governor of the House of Correction, had seised
i4?1.300 and upwards from the prisoner and as it was already proved
that he bad embattled more than ;1,000 belonging to Messrs.
Hoary, it was more diala probable that pan of this money was the
prodnarof that embezzlement, and be (Mr. Law) had to request
that the 41,300 allelic be impounded, to be dealt with hereafter as
the Judges should direct.
In a conversed= which Mewed open this, it was explained,
that after the prisoner. was first sent to the Howse of Correction,
some friends seat hues about £1,500, In the bupe that he would be
permitted to make up his deficiencies. Mr. Ticker, took it from
him, front a fear That some fellows In the prison might rob him of
it, but gore it up again upon his formal demand.
The prisoner was hilly commakteda with permission le go to the
House of Cerrectiett till trial, „

MARLB. KOH° H4TRIZET.
Yesterday the &Were( the hackney chariot, No. 172, in the eat
vice of Mr. Smith of flacittriars'-road, appeared to answer the
compiaint of R. Martin, Esq. M.P. for beating two horses which
be was driving.

r

Mr. Martin stated, that in Manday he was passing through
High-street, &. Giles's, and aw the defendant driving this chariot
at a most furious rats; nut miatentod with going along at that dan-
gerous rote, he Imp loggia* his horses, a very beautiful pair of
white animals, in a most violent manner. To do hint justice,
Martin said there was a perfect impartiality in the defendant's con-
duet, for he used his whip with equal violence on both the horses,
and while within his (Mr. Martin's) ,kw, 1w could not have in•'

frcted less than thirty, to forty. blows, istkleb wealed the sides of
;he poor. animals mom anent.
The defendant sold, AA the Atotement of Mr. Martin wag a
very exaggerated Ist*/ lb would appeal to hie master, who wav
present, for a character as to his humtuity and good conduct while
in his service ?
Mr. Sinith said, that he really amid not bring himself to be-
lieve that the defendant had acted with any cruelty to the horses,
for he was a very correct, steady, and humane man.
Martin persisted that the horses were not only cruelly
beat, out that he distinctly aan, the weals upon their fides.
l'be Magistrate said that Mr. Martin having so distinctly sworn
to the ill-treatment, he had no other alternative but to hne the de-
fendant, but be_should only,do so in the penalty of 101. in eons*.
Tuence of the very good character given of hint by •his magnet;
and perhaps for.the same reason, said the Magistrate, Mr. Martin
will return his half of the penalty. The defendant was then fined
10s. and 3.. ed. eons; and Mr. Martin returned Ss. to the defendant
Qt.TEBN-Ktif ARIL

Just as the Magistrate, W. A. A. Warm, Esq. was leaving the
Bench, on Wednesday, a. man of very rvimectable deportmecr;
dressed in black, was brought into the Justice-room by Geo?ge
Pople, the toffieer, *ho had a short time before apprehended f
for defrauding the Dawager Lsdy Ellenhororgh of three Valuable
horses.
On the accused being plated at the bar, he semnahntsch agitaied,
and when asked by the Magistrate his name, address, &e. he said
his name was George Tir. Farm, that he' was an ostrich-feather '
manufacturer, and carried on business in Webber-row, Black-
friars-road.
At two o'clock yesterday her Ladyship attended at the °See,
before Mr. Netts, but Pople, who bad obtained some chat- as to
where the horses were to be found, stated to the laistrate that
two men, Ashley and Vincent, had expresse.l a wish to common!.
cate oitthey knew of the business, and subsequently informed him
that the horses were standing at the Black Prince stables, Key-
nington, where he bad gone and secured them, and they were thea
in his possession.
Vincent, one of the win, said, that he.thought it very bard npol
him, as be had advanced Berryi £2O on the animals, and would be
glad to know bow he was to get it back again ?
tlr. WIIIITZ told him that be could only recover it from Berry;
of course be could not expect Lady lillenborough to pay him back
the seitO. • .
A letter was then sent to the Marshal oldie King's Bench, where
Berry is ;unlined, requesting him to allow Berry to come forward
for further examination ; but the answer returned was, that he mint
be removed by Habeas, and suggesting that it *maid be better t
hold the examination in the interior of the prison, where every ?C.
commodation should be afforded to her Ladyship, and an sparttne:,t
provided for the investigation.
The Magistrate ordered the two men, Ashley and-Vincent, out of
custody, and the prisoner Berry stands committed for re.examinz
don on a future day ; but where it will take place is not yet under-
stood.—Tier Ladyship then retired.

A brace of fine woodcocks were shot on Thursday,
about seven miles from Exeter.
THt TIttAD-miLLs.—At Lewer, each prisoner walks
at the rateof 6600 feet in ascent per day; at Ipswich,
7450; at St. Alban's. 8000; at Bury, 8950; At Cam-
bridge, 10,175 ; at Durham, 12900; at Milton, Guild-
ford, and Reading, the summer rate needs 15
while at Warwick the sumnier rate will be 17,080 feet
in ten hours. _ _ _

Stsniman OCCURRIII:43E.—Tuesciay last, a respect-
able female passing by a corn-warehouse in Prior's.
street, Liverpool, was caught under the chin by the
loop of one of the ropes ascending from a cart for ano-
ther bag of grain, and, by the counterpoising effect of
a descending bag from aloft, was hoisted up to a pe-
rilous height before means could be taken fur her rescue.
The warehouseman judiciously stopped the hoisting-
machine gently, and lowered her into the cart. She
was conveyed insensible tO a neighbouring house, but
by medical aid recovered her recollection, with little
more injury than the bruises produced by the pressure
of the rope under each ear.
Tuesday, a comic accieent happened in Blackfriars-
road. A well dressed female going from Rowland
Hill's Chapel to the New Cut, was knocked down by a
Gentleman riding at a. sharp pace, and supposed to be
dangerously hurt. The passengers crowded round the •
unlucky horseman, who inquired whether the Laiy was
much injured ?—" Oh, yes," said one of the mob, " you
have knocked out her teeth. She is in a bad way.
`" For GOD'S faker exclaimed the Gentleman, " take
her to a surgeon." Upon examination, the Lady did
not appear much disturbed. There was no appearance
of blood. Her teeth had certainly been knocked cut,
and were banging on her face, but they were artificial
teeth. Her fall had broken the silver wire by which
those ornaments were fastened, and the appearance of
one row oat of their proper position occasioned the
alarm felt by the passengers. Fortunately for the fair
one she was more frightened by the awkward occur-
rence than injured by coming in contact with the horse,
and after a female friend had assisted her to make good,
the derangement of her dente: canines. and the other
false tenants of her snachoire, she was able, to walk
home and dispense with the attendance of a medical
man. &se required the dentist only.
DEATH most A/mitten—The death of an aged
yeoman in the neighbourhood of Carlisle was last week
occasioned in the following singular manners—The
old man in his youth was- ',bevel and convivial, but as
years accumulated upon him he acquired penurious
habits. He had in his possession a stack of very fine •
wheat—prices advanced—his heart warmed at tbe de-
lighted idea—and the longer he kept it, he flattered
himself the snore valuable tt• would become. But the
things of this world ate perishable. Bats, mice, and
whole flocks of birds, made ftee with the stack. How
was this to be prevented ? A happy thought suggested
itself—he came to the resolutiori of tethering a cat to
the roof, with length of line sufficient to admit of her
descent on either side, to my up the ravenous intru-
ders whenever they presented themselves. Pass- her
duty with fidelity, as we may presume, for her master
rewarded her with regular supplies of milk; one morn-
' ing having ascended the roof with ,the accustomed al-
lowance in a saucer, he missed his footing, and slid off
the stack to the ground, and lighting upon Maw, the
violence of the shock produced hernias which speedily
carried him to his grave.
The Pacha of Egypt lately sent the Sultan some par-
rots, which, having come from Malta, spoke nothing
but English; his highness, therefore, sent for an Eng-
lish renegade, who hadlately turned Turk, to interpret
their words. He interpreted them all into compliments
towards the Sultan, and by this artifice obtained valu-
able presents.
