GUILDHALL.

young men, named Betoctsion Janes,

John Walter; and Heavy RiWitsids-' were brought before Sir C. B.
Houma, Bart. yesterday, charged with disturbing the devotions of
a congregation of Millenarians, or Independents, who assembled in
a sort of hayloft in Cow-lane, at the back of Mr. Williams's, the
cutler, No. 4,West Smithfield. One Samuel Sibley, of Lamb.street,
Bethnal-green, who has served his country as a seaman twenty-
one years, officiates.in the pulpit, and the singularity of his style of
preaching has for some time provoked the ridicule of the respect-
able inhabitants of the vicinity, as well as of the lower orders.
The charge against the defendants was, that they had conversed,
laughed, and used obscene language, to the interruption of the service.
Mr. Walter said that he and his companions, passing on their way
to some place of worship, saw a group of persons about the door,
and heard there was a chapel there. 'Alley went in, and were sur-
prised at the manner of the preacher, who heightened the diction of
his discourse by a vehement "by Goo," said some singular things
about young Shiloh, and used several indelicate words. They could
not forbear remarking to each other what strange expressions these
wire to COMB front a pulpit ; nor Could they repress me dispo ssts

'to smile Womb** at the very Mond things they heard. But they
were not the only laughers. One of the espreesions at which he
laughed was, that be (Sibley) had been accused of not having ekes
hands. Now, be would say, that it mattered net whether the tut
were so or othetwise. and he remembered that Paul, the Apostles
had difficulties to contend with. Let the imputers work at the
handspike as he bad, and their bands would be more dirty." After
they had kft the chapel, Jones got into a dispute with the patrols,
and was taken to the watch-house. He (Walter) and Reynolds
followed to see, what became of their companions-and were them-
selves given in charge. ,
- Sir C. Hum said, ae it was their first offence, he hoped the
complainants would receive, u an atonement, their apology for
what had passed, and their promise never to repeat such conduct.
The young men were discharged, on paying £l. to the officers.
H A TTON-G A ROHN. _
Yesterday, Henry Gales, a working-turner, was brought up ht
custody of Springthorpe, one of the turnkeys of the New Prison!
Clerkenwell, charged with repeated infringements of the jail regu-
lations, by introducing spirits to persona confined therein.
Springthorpe stated, that a woman who was the prisoner's re,
puled wife, had been committed some time back, for uttering basi
coin, in which offence he was alto implicated. Since her ImpriatiA4
runt, Gates had frequently Baited her, and it was remarked, that
when he did so, the women in the ward usually got intozkatedi
and on one occasion, had even attempted to set fire to their bedding.
The prisoner was, thereto*, the more closely watched and on
Saturday last, was detected bringing in a bottle of rum, which he
endeavoured to break when it was discovered.
The prisoner did not dispute the fact, but begged for pardon as it
i was his first offence.

Springthorpe said, that the practice bad latterly become so pre.
valent. that unless some example were made to deter others, It
would be impossible to preserve order, or even to ensure the safety
of the inmates themselves. _

Xlr..l,Alxo asked the prisoner if he would pay RIO, the penalty
which the Act allowed? _ _

The prisoner declared that he bad not ten pence id the world.
Mr. Luis told him, that as he could find money to buy spirits;
he should either pay the fine, or be committed for six weeks, and
trusted that thiP conviction would serve as a beacon to others.
.Uoyd, the pedestrian, who has performed a feat of walking a
number of miles backwards in a given time, was, with another man
named llidtlington, charged with having a quantity of counterfeit
money in his possession. On searching Lloyd's lodgings, some irsk.
lock keys, &c. were found. They were remanded unit Saturdar.

A letter from Liverpool of Saturday, states that the
fourteen soldiers saved from the Kent East Indianian,

landed that afternoon. There was a great crowd col-
lected to welcome them ashore, when the Caroline came
down from the quarantine-ground.
The mackarel boats belonging to Monnt's.-bay. have
been tolerably successful. Monday se'nnight, ti:cy took
from 400 to 500 each boat, amounting in the u hole to
7,0J0, which were bought at 503., a .hundred, for the
London market. Four boats only went to sea on Tireve
day night, and took about 2,000, which were pu: chased
for the same market, and at the same rates.
CURIOUS WAGER.— A merchant of he City under-
took, a few days ago, for a trifling het, which was made
in a company of friends, 'to carry from his counting-
house, to Tyburn Gate, a four-pound loaf exposed, In
his hand : he was to appear in his usual genteel dress,
and unaccompanied by any person to inform the curious
that it was a wager; in order that his singular appear-
ance might attract attention. He won the Wager.
Nine countrymen were, a short time ago, travelling
from Morsinc, whither they had repaired to purchase
some goods, and wet e • proceeding on their way home-
ward to Monthet, in the Valais ; they were heavily laden
with the large bags that contained their merchandize,.
and whilst crossing one of the high mountains of Swit-
zerland, they were suddenly overwhelmed by as ava-

Some countrypeople, who obterved the pondelotis mass
fall upon them,. gave an alarm. The inhabitan's lan to
the place, and began to dig away the snow ; Crd niudi
labour the bodies were found, but life was extinct.
We have heard that Reeves has confe:sed, since his

trial, that he inflicted the mo►tal wound on the unfor-
tunate Morris. According to *his statement, Allen
struck the blow which brought Mortis to the ground;
and he then beat him on the head with the draining
spade which he had taken from his brother, and after-
wards took the spade to Allen's wife, who washed of
the blood with which it was stained.—Bucks Gazette.

At the Reading Assizes, a most important improve.
meat WAS introduced in the classification of the prisoners'
names in the calendar, in .distinguishing those who
could read and write, from those unable to do so. Were
this method to be adopted on all the Circuits, we Amid
won be furnished with fresh data, on which th reason
as to the efficacy of education in tl,e pr evention of crimes.
