the Report of the Committee of Artisans on this subject, and gave
notice that he should, in consequence of the recommendation con-
tained in that Report, on Monday neat, move for leave to bring
iii a Bill to repeal the Combination Laws ; to permit artisans to
come and go at their pleasure; and to amend the law relative to
arbitration between Master and Journeyman.—The Report was
ordered to he printed.
Mr. M ABER LY said, he held in his hand a Petition from a De-
putation of the Trade at prelim in London, who represented 1500
Country Brewers, against the Beer Bill, and not even the modifica-
tion of the Right Honourable Gentleman as to the scale of duties
would reconcile these persons to the Bill—The Petition was re-
ceived and ordered to beprinted.
Mr. EsTcorr brought up the Report of the Vagrant Act.—
To be further considered on Tuesday.

having passed the Spitalfields Acts Repeal Bill.

Mr. WILMOT4-10ILTON laid ou the table certain Papers re-
lative to Demerara.

KENSINGTON TURNPIKE DILL.

Mr. lIUME presented a Petition from Mr. W. Cobbett, of Ken-
sington, complaining of the Trustees having introduced a 13111 to
continue their Act, which Bill contained a falsehood on the face of
it. It asserted that it was required for 21 years to enable them to
pay off their debt, whereas tbeir balance would have done more
than pay their debt. The Bill, with such falsehood on it, passed
that House, but it was thrown out of the Lords. Mr. Cubhett
prayed that the house would adopt some regulation to prevent such
abuses and falsehoods for the future.

Mr. BY NG defended the Trustees, and said that the Bill pro-
posed to lower the Tolls, and to make improvements in the Roads by
puffin down houses, &c.

THE EARL Of POMFRET AND OTHERS V. MAULT.

The plaintiffs iii this cause were executors of a per-
son named Denis, and the present action was brought
to recover the penalty mentioned in a certain agree-
ment made between the testator and the defendant, for
ti'e letting of five acres of ground at Chelsea, and which
agreement contained a clause, imposing a penalty after
the rate of 1001. per acre, for any part of the ground
that should be broken up during the term of the agree-
ment. The defendant, it was alleged, broke the agree-
ment, by digging up part of the land, and burning
bricks on it, and appropriating other parts of it as a
place for the reception of dust and night-soil. After
much evidence on the part of the plaintiffs, •
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE expressed his opinion, that
the contract had been broken, but that the plaintiff.
were entitled to nominal damages only.—Verdict for
the plaintiffs—Damage s Is.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DECEMBER •
The LORD CHIEF JUST= sat this day at Nisi l'rus.
—The cause of Marsh v. Smith occupied the %Auk of
the day, but was of no interest except to the pasties
concerned in it. The pleadings were of a most volu-
minous nature. Iu the course of the trial a question
rose upon them, and as the junior Counsel, who had
drawn them for the plaintiff, had left the Court to- at-
tend to another cause in which he was engaged in the
Court of King's Bench, much time was lost before that
exact part of-the declaration could be found, which was
depended upon as letting in certain evidence tendered
by the plaintiff. The Lord Chief Justice took occa-
sion to remark upon the necessity of the Counsel re-
maining in Court, who had been engaged in preparing
such voluminous proceedings as the present ; and said
that he was much inclined to make some arrangement
to procure their presence, in order to prevent the time
of the public being unnecessarily wasted in future.

COROAEMS lA4UEST.

Fl iday evening an inqwion was taken at the Spread
Eagle public•house, Kiugsland-road, touching the death
of Henry Smith.

We stated in our Paper of Thursday, that the de-
ceased was struck two severe blows on the head by a
man ninied Smart, in the tap-room of the above named
public-house, on Mor.day last, and that he died the
next morning.
Several witnesses detailed the circumstances of the
a;,a&t, when some of the Jury expressed a wish that
the wife of the deceased should be examined touching
what he might have said relating to the blows after his
retur n home, but the Coroner thought it unnecessary.
The beadle, however, stattd, that he had recently ques-
tioned her, and she had told him that the deceased came
home about half-past eleven o'clock, and went imme-
diately to bed. Soon after he had laid down he ex-
claimed, " My head 1 Oh) my head 1" He never spoke
afterward, but died about two o'clock in the morning.
Two surgeons gave it as their opinion that the de- "
ceased came to his death from the blows on his head.

_ _ _
The Coroner briefly charged the Jury-, who, after a
few minutes' consultation, returned a Verdict of Man.
daughter against the prisoner William Smart, and the
Coroner issued hit ware ant of committal of the prisoner
to Newgate, to take his trial for that offence.

The Captains of the European transports are sn tired
of the campaign, that they have presented a petition to
Ibrahim Pacha, begging that they may be unloaded at
Boudroun and discharged, un this condition—they will
give up their freight. There is every appearaace that
Ibrahim Pacha will not accede to this proposal, the
consequence of which worald be the breaking up of his
army, and Than he will long cniitilitie to drag in his
train those impudent Captains whose aviJity merits irtr
nishment.—Letters from Alesandtia of the 10th of this

RAPIDITY OF LIGHT.
The late Mr. Thomas Sikes, of Water Gtuel-row, at
Hackney, some years ago made a curious experiment
on the passate of Light. He caused large rockets to
he let-, off at Canterbury, and others at hackney, of
such an enorm-nrs size that they were respectively seen
from their. respective stations. By the assistance of ac-
curate chrorrome tvrs. it was ascertainel that Light
ic;ie.l no seasib:c time in taaveili tg from Canterbury
to L.,ndon.
NI:I.VENCE OF TILE MOON ON THE NERVES.
The Physicians generally, or Get many, and some in
Englartd, have lately e•tablished a doctrine with respect
to lunar influence on Diseases, which corresponds with
the notions of Drs. Nl,ade and Sydenhant of old, but
which most modern physicians have overlooked, namely,
that nearly all our known nervous diseases have their
worst paroxysms rear to the periods of new or full
moon. They prtipoe to make a division of the lunar,
period into four weeks, in the middle of which the
changes shallocenr. Now, in this case it is discovered,
that there are more nervous affections in thrse weeks
in which netv and full Woo happen, than in the weeks
marked by the two quarters of the moon. Headaches,
in'particular, obey this law. It was of old observed to
teAulate the periodical paroxysms of insanity ; and hence
the origin of the term lunatic, as applied to madmen.

The Dutch, who have always travelled much more by

canals ?

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

:•,-.14111191.1
Last night, about half-past nine o'clock, a destruc-
tive fire broke out in Rosemary Branch-lane, Rosemary.
lane, Tower-hill. The fit, is supposed to have origi.
natei in the house of a cooper. The neighbourhood is
inhabited by foreign Jews, who were seen ronning about
in all directions in 4 state of nudity. The surrounding
inhabitants in Rosemary-lane were so overpowered with
the unexpected visitation, that they refbsed to open
their doors to the fugitives, doubting the truth -of
their lamentable story, till they raised their eyes and
saw the whole horizon in a blaze. They cried out in a
pitiful tone—" Let us in—we be poor foreigners—fo-
reign Jews—have lost all—nothing left I" They were
admitted, and remained agonized spectators of the de-
voi,ting element around them. The fire-engines now
arrived, but could only act in a partial manner, in con-
sequence of the contracted situation of the buildings.—
At first the glass began to crack, then the frame fell in,
and all seemed quiet for about five minutes, when the
explosion of the next window announced that the interior
was in flames. Then came the yell of distress for the fate
of the next house. " Insured, insured !" for a moment
relieved the dolorous ejaculation, till the fire seized a
house not under the protection of an Insurance Com-
pany. For those houses which were ;nsured every person
seemed perfectly easy, except the firemen. who exerted
all their might to extinguish them. Not less than
twenty fires have taken place in this immediate vicinity
during the last year, and several within a few yards of
this very spot.

CORNWELL'S ORIENTAL CORDIAL.
GOOD HEALTH is so dependent on a good diges-
tion, and a proper proportion of the gastric juice, that where
there is a derangement of the one, or a deficiency of the other, there
must be indisposition and disease. An improper digestion of the
aliment subjects the body to a train of distressing effects—Spasm—
Windy Cholic—Cramp—Vomitings—Heartburn—sour Eructa-
tions—a loss of Appetite, and the Stomach surcharged with Wind,
are the attendant symptoms. To remove these painful feelings,
and restore a proper proportion of the Juices of the Stomach, with-
out which digestion cannot go on with any advantage to the system,
the ORIENTAL VEGETABLE CORDIAL is particularly re-
ctutimended.— I t was first discovered and used by an eminent Phy-
sician in the East Indies, where debilities of the stomach and intes-
tines are severe and alarming ; and the brother of the late Lord Al-
vanley, Lord Rodney, and a great number of distinguished Person-
ages it this country have patronized and recommended it.
It restores tone to the stomach, removes Spasm. discharges
Wivd, cures Cholic, and for generally strengthening the Stomach

GARRICK'S FIRST PLAY-BILL.

When Garrick quitted Ipswich, where he played a I
few nights in a provincial company, he repaired to Lon-
don ; but it appears that he was unable to obtain an
engagement at any of the great Houses. He was then
obliged to join the Company in Goodman's-fields, who,
to avoid being sent to prison as rogues and vagabonds,
for acting without a license, presented Plays to their
audience gratis, charging them only for the Concerts.
Here it was that the British Boscius, trembling between
hope and fear, made his first bow as Richard the Third
The applause which he received was tumultuous; the'
Public caught with admiration the brilliant sparks of
genius which he emitted, and with their fostering hand
bore him triumphantly along the current of popu-
larity ; they placed him at the very head of his profes-
sion, and made him an object of wonder and admira-
tion to the whole world. the following copy of the bill
which announces his first appearance is curious :
" Goodman's Fields, Oct. 19, 1741.—At the Theatre in Good-
man's Fields, this day, will he performed a Concert of Vocal and
Instrumental Music, divided into two parts.—Tickets at three,
two, and one shilling.—Places for the boxes to be taken at the
Fleece Tavern, next the Theatre.—N.B. Between the two parts of
the Concert will be presented an Historical Play, called the Ufe
and Death of King Richurd 111. ; containing the distresses of King
Henry VI.; the artful acquisition of the Crown by King Richard;
the murder of young King Edward V. and brother in the Tower;
the landing of the Earl of Richmond, and the death of King Richard
in the memorable Battle of Fosworth-field, being the last that was
fought between the Houses of York and Lancaster; with other
true historical passages. The part of King Richard by a Gentleman•
(who never appeared on any Stage) ; King Henry, Mr. Giffard ;
Richmond, Mr. Marshall ; Prince Edward, Miss Hippedey; Duke
of York, Miss Naylor, &c. &c.— With an Entertainment of
Dancing, &c.—To which will be added, a Ballad Opera, in •ne
act, called the Virgin Unmasked. Both of which will be performed
by persons gratis for diversion.— The Concert to begin at six o'clock
exactly." • Garrick.

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday, a man named That Smithers applied to the sitting Ma.
gistrate for his advice bow he was to act in getting home his wile,
who, he said, had absconded with a black man, named Mick TWO!,
who swept the crossings at the corner or Union-street.
Black Tom was immediately sent for.—..He had the features of a
Hottentot, and upon being atked why he assaulted the complainant,
and harboured his lawful wife, replied, " Your honour, I pick up
the lady, not Baking she had another husband, and as she and me
agree, Ino like to part her, for she is a very good woman to me."
Here the complainant's wife, a fine copper-coloured damsel, came
breathless into the office, and bearing Black Tom's declaration in
her favour, ran towards him, and clasping him round the neck, im.
printed many kisses on his lips, that resounded through the
The officer of the day was ordered to stand between them to pre-
vent a repetition of those endearments. Black Tom, in continua-
tion, said, although it would be a hard struggle for him to give cp
such a beautiful creature; yet, as she was married, he " supposed" it
must be so.

The Magistrate told him he was in the right road for Brixton, ii
he did not.

Black Tom.-oh, your Honour, me give her up now ? Den take
her (to the complainant). Ino want her again, me go off ton
business in the toad, me no like Brizton ; Goo forbid me see dr

complainant and his wife took each other by the arm, and kit the
dice, the latter expressing, after all, there was none like a husband.

convinced that they would only give such rational da-
mages as the.case required.
The Learned Junce then proceeded to chirgetheJury.
lie said this was an action brought to recover special
damages tinder most distressing circumstances. The
plaintiff claimed compensation at their hands for the
toss of that serenity of mind w hich was perhaps one of
the greatest blessings. They (the Jury) should net, how.
ever, let their feelings outsrep the bounds of justice; but
should award temperate and yet adequate damages.
His hordship was then proceeding to go through the
evidence, when the Foretlian said they were agree:l.
The Jury then consulted for a few minutes, and returned a vi.r.!ict
for the piaturitr—Damiges, Seven Hundred and Fifty Ponmls.
When the verdict was pronounced a murmur ran thr.n.,;!t th •
Court, The Court was extremely crowded ;, a great ntintl), r ~i

CHESTER, SEPTEMBER 8.
I?ichard Woods, a man aged about 50, was indicted
for an assault upon a child wider six years old, named
Sarah Al‘Turk, in September last, with an intent to
abuse her person.
From the number of these brutal cases that have been
tried in this town, a detailed account can no longer be
of any interest. The assault was clearly proved, inde-
pendent of the admission of the prisoner himself, who,
when he was apprehended at Bolton, in Lancashire, said,
that he must have been either mad or drunk when he
committed it. This case was greatly aggravated by the
circumstance of the brute having been the cause of this
tittle girl now labouring under a disease, which ren-
dered it necessary that she should be handed over to the
care of the parish officers.
The Jury immediately found a verdict of Guilty.
The Court, in passing sentence, commented in severe
terms upon the enormity of this offence, and lamented
the frequency of it in this county. It was necessity,
therefore, to exercise the strong arm of the law to sup-
press it ; and, above all, io this manufacturing county,
where females were, at a tender age, placed away froal
the control of their parents, to work at the factories.—
The sentence of the Court was, that the prisoner should
be confined for the space of three years in the House of
Correction, and kept at hard work during that time.
John Hamilton was capitally convicted for a felo-
nious assault upon Jemima Cooper, spinster, at Mot-
tram, in the parish of Londonsdale, in this .county, on
the 2 Nth of August last.
The offence was clearly proved, but the girl's cha.
racter not being respectable, and the prisoner bearing
a very high character, the Jury particularly recom-
mended him to mercy.

Yesterday four little boys, all under ten years of age, w
brought up by an 'Seer, who stated that he found them last nigh:
secreted in one of the bins or boxes of Fleet-mattes. It was
easy to dislodge them, as the entrance was entail, and he was tell
they would not come out of their holes but oh certain conditions-.
Larks might be caught by salting their tails—hut these urchins cried
only be come at under a promise of breadaiscibutScr ? (.1 lau;h.)
" And did you give them bread and butter ?" said Aidern,43
Coownea. (Loud and confirmed laughter.)
" No, your Worship," answered the Aker, " fort had none
to glee.'—(Renewed laughter.)—However, he succtiethd
shaming tbent out; end the eldest of the diets told the Magiqtr.itc
that he had "wood in the cock-loft for a few nights 411 alone, ;
that the other chicks had only come last night without any invit.ititX.
from him.

The Magistrate sent them all to St. Sepulchre's parish, to ob:ax
a more suitable settlement.

The next case was that of two old mendicants, charlf4 by Sr
officer of the hlendlcity Society, with acts of vagrancy. Ore WA*
recognised as a known old fox, and sent to Bridewed for thr,
months. The other said he was so far on his road to I.n,ligf
when taken up by the (Aker. In 'flirter to the question of ItArck„
at a door, and asking for alms, he said that be bad only bike„
kis hot to let a Lady pass !
" Your politeness deserved a better fate," observed the Nirri,.
tote; "but it appears no such GeltitfllZß as you mentioned rr
sides at Longford, to my certain knowledge."
" Upon my word," said the beggar, 11 I understood so."
" But, upon my word," rejoined the Magistrate, .1 I ender:m:l4
otherwise."—The fellow was sent to Bridewell for seven days.
