UNION-HALL.
Ax hum Winn.—A disgraceful circumstance occurred at an
early hour on Sunday morning, in One Tun-court, White-street.
Southwark, arising out of an Irish Wake, which was celebrated in
some obscure apartments in a house In the court, by which the
whole neighbourhood was disturbed; and yesterday a stint man,
named Aunts Edwards, was brought up,accused of being engaged in
the transaction.

According to the testimony of a watchman, there had been a
noise every evening at the house, since the death -of an elderly
Irishman, who had occupied the apartments, and a vast number
of Irish people of both sexes assembled there, and Indulged in
plentiful libations.

Saturday night about midnight the uproar and confusion in the
apartments were so great, that all the neighbourhood was disturbed,
and presently afterwards the party rushed out. after quarrelling
inside, and commenced fighting in the court. The watchman sprang
his rattle and seized the defendant. He and the remainder of the
people fled before assistance arrived. The house presented a sin-
gular appearance, when the watchmen went in, as the chairs and
tables were upset in the quarrel, and even the coin was lying on
the floor, with the dead body rolled out. It was however placed
securely in the coin, and interred that afternoon.
The defendant was fined 53. fer being intoxicated, which having
paid, he was discharged.

THAMES POLICE.
Thomas Rice, who was ordered to be brought up yesterday, to
give an opportunity to other persons to prefer charges against him,
was placed at the bar ; but no other charge was exhibited. Ur.
Day, Clerk to Messrs. Rich and Fearnley, Solicitors, of Ratcliff
Cross, and who attended on the prisoner's behalf, applied to the
Magistrates to have the drafts that were brought forward by Mr.
Potter impounded, that they might hereafter b• proceeded upon.—
The Magistrate asked Evans, the officer, if he had made inquiries
if the acceptances to the bills at the prisoner's house were ge-
nuine ? The officer said they were, except one, which was accepted
by Mrs. Linsey. but which was sanctioned by her husband. The
prisoner then applied for some duplicates of his furniture. that was
taken (rein him, as he said the time was near expiring. The Ma-
gistr are said be could say nothing to it, as the other case was heard
before another Magistrate; but these would be no objection to re-
turning any papers that were unconnected with the present transac-
tions, but those which were, would upon no acnount be given up.—
lie was then removed, preparatory to his being taken to Rew-
rite for trial.

T. Mulligan, of Notthlhatn-place, Whiteebapel Road, was con-
victed In the penalty of 410, for hawking and selling tea unlicensed.

A very active canvass commenced yesterday in the
city of London.

The Fren.sh Papers a e in mourning for Louts-XVIII.,
last Friday being the anniversary of his death. That
day was a hoiiday, and as the printing-offices were
'shut, there was no paper printed on Saturday. This
is a very inconvenient tribute of respect, hut the most
whimsical compliment iv, that paid by the Courier
rraucnite, wh:c4 reprints the whole of the Constitu-
tional Charter, as the most disinterested tribute it
could pay to the late KING-, and at..the same time the
molt noble and most worthy of him." On the same
principle we ought to reprint MAgra Charts in a month's
time; as the 17th of October is the ar.nivertaty of the
Jeath of King Jous.

TREAD-MILLS— Ht' TVIArt; -AND BREAKIA
STON.II.
It has been suggested that the Tread-ntill in t
House of. Correction, in Coldbath-fields, might be t,,
fully applied to the purpose of betaking the grant,fi
the new method of road-making. tit any rant, it rz,.
stem extraordinary that 200 or '4lOO people shn.iic;:
every day employed in producing a power wheel mint
be applied to many useful purposes, but which has,
ever since its creation, been wasted in air. W ho,
heard that an offer was made by a new Comp4n,to
hire this power for the purpose of raising sluing site
but was decline(); and it would really seem, tom 4,e'
supineness of those who have the direction of it, eigx
the job hating answered the views of its projector, sti
nct be brought into any profitable use till some rte
job can be created out of it. These are few things:4
the arts of this country are so backward in as in eq.,
Tying, hewing, and sawing stone. Travellers in GIN
tell us that the quarties of Parian and other markt
exhibit a preci.ion in the method used by the anciettsl
to detach the blocks from the mass, which, corntrlt
with their little knowledge of machinery, is truly c.,
venous. And we cannot help thinking that it cas,,.
slur upon the scientific, and especially the mechanie,,
attainments of the age, that our superior knowledge
machinery has not been applied to diminish one at ile
hardest efforts of human labour. The common stone
satyr seems the rudest and least improved irnplemer
we know of; and the chipping% and hammerings g 0;,,;
on at this time in the streets, to the great aneenyal,r,
and danger of every one's eyes who passes, is equa: T
uncouth in its appearance. Surely the steam-eng c,
the pulley, the tread-wheel, and various other ei,re.
veries, might be applied in various ways to the conve-.
sion of stone to the purposes to which it is applies;
and when this article, and thAt of the hardest kind, ;,
every day coming into more general use, we vveu4
strongly recommend to some of our many ingerlio:,,
mechanics, the invention of some means to obviate t::e
present tedious and laborious modes, as well n: ex-
tracting it from the quarry, as of afterwards reducing
it to the different forms required.—Morning Herald.
