130 W.STREET.

Mr. Was. Hawes, the public singer and director of a musical aca."l
demy in the Adelphi, was brought before Mr. Hat.t.s, charged with
an assault twin one of' pupils, Jacob William Gear, a boy about
twelve years of age.
Mr. llawes came accompanied by the lieu. Dr. Hughes, one of
the Canons Residentiary of St. Paul's Cathedral, and some other
Gentlemen of St. Paul's and the Chapel Royal. Several of his pu.,
pill were-also present.

The charge was, that Mr. Hawes, on 11Eirsday last, s•t•irk the
boy a aevere blow acrosa•the arm with a walking cane.
After hearing evidence, Mr. Haus said he had fat it his du,y
to suffer Mr. Hawes to enter into thefullest explanation, and he
had permitted him, perhaps, to introduce some extraeenus matter' •
and it was because he thought that a charge of cruelty (and this was
so preferred when the warrant was applied for) against the direet,,r
of a public establishment of such comiderahle consequence,
not be too narrowly inquired into for the sake both of the
and the individual. The charge here seemed to him to-be frivolous
and unfounded, and ought never to have been thought (A.—l!,
warrant was discharged.

Mrs. Riviere, the wife of Mr. Riviere, a gunsmith, in Orft•ni.
street, applied for the Magistrate's cdvice, as to what mean, ,;,e
should adopt to recover, or gain some tidingi of a favourite
ter of her's, who bad suddenly disappeared from the house--,:,
believed removed sway by Sir. Riviere.
Mr. Riviere said, that it was very truel►e had removed his t1:1:0,_
ter away from the reach and controul of her mother, for tlie hc,T ,
ail possible reasons; that had he nut done- so, the girl's ruin wit-t
be the consequence ; and, to give the Magistrate some Hex of ;1,,
probability of tin.: result, he would mention a few trausactirels,
a line of conduct, which this young creature, 15 years of age, „a.
encouraged by her mother to pursue. In the first place, this youn
girl, with the consent of her mother, went and hired a large La.
room, ler the purpose of giving weekly dances and halls, and in.
siting all the young men and women, no matter whom they nerv,
that came into her own or her mother's head. In the next plat
she became an actress, by bet mother's wish, at a private theatre,
where she acted the chief parts in tragedy ; and all this lt.al
for some time been going on unknown to him (Mr. lliviere) until
he fortunately found it out by the accidental circumstance of his
miming the key of the street-door, which, upon proper inquiry, Le
discovered this young creature was in the habit of taking pith Ler.
by her mother's consent, every night after be went to bed, and let-
ting herself in at four and five o'clock 11.11 the morning. To teSCLe
the girl, thetefore, from the inevitable ruin that must await her. if
not removed from such states, he bad placed her in a siiterien
where both her morals and her education would be attended to. lie
had not, as was stated, iotrasted her removal to the care of any ere,
for he himself had placed her where she was.
Mrs. Riviere could not deity the scenes described by her hu..
band, but said all she wanted was to know where her daughter na.,
and to hear from her occasionally.
The Magistrate said, that he thought Mr. Riviere had acted %shit
great propriety in disposing of his daughter as he bad done, and ad-
vised Mrs. Riviere not to interfere farther upon the subject ;
would, of course, always have an opportunity of-nearing that her
daughter was well ; and, for the present that was sufficient.

persons assembled in the street, and on his coming up; he found tao

endeavoured to remonstrate with him on the impropriety of his con.

was assailed by the prisoner with a volley of low abuse and daring

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Rosaeav ♦$D ♦rrntn ay Aasom—Yesterday, Mary Ganger was
brought up for re-examination, on the charge of stealing in a
dwelling-house, and also with attempting to set fire to the premises.
Mrs. Rhodes, of Flask-row, Five-fields, Chelsea, deposed, that
about three weeks ago, the prisoner, who stated herself to be the
wife of a private In the Third Dragoon Guards, took an apartment
in her house, and, up to the evening of the fire, there was no reason
to complain of hcr. In the room, on the second floor, there lived
a Mrs. Armstrong, who, about a week ago, had missed 'from her
room a large bundle of wearing-apparel. Not the least suspicion
was at first entertained of the former, and it was thought I,oole
I thief had crept up stairs, and committed the robbery. Tuesday
evening Mrs. Armstrong went out, and left the key in her room-
door. The prisoner at this time was in her own room. About
five o'clock some of the neighbours came running in, and said the
house was on fire, and that the flames were then breaking out at
the second-floor window. Witness and one or two others ran Up
stairs, and on going into Mrs. Armstrong's room, it was found to
be in a body of fire ; the bed, bedding, window-curtains, cupboards,
&c. were all in a blaze. Fortunately the flames were confined to
the roost, which, together with the furniture, was entirely destroyed.
Suspicion now fell on the prisoner, who shewed peculiar composure.
It was said in her presence, " that the party who committed the
robbery had set the house on fire." The prisoner then, in agitation,
exclaimed, " If you think I have committed the robbery, you may
come up stairs and search my room." This was agreed upon, and
the prisoner ran up stairs first, the window of the room was wide
open, and whilst the search was being made, the boodle containing
the stolen wearing-apparel belonging to Mrs. Armstrong, was
picked up by a little girl in the middle of the road opposite the
house. Coles, a Constable was sent for, to whom she was given in
'custody. Before he came, she confessed her guilt, and begged for
mercy.—lt was seated by the prisoner that Mrs. Armstrong's hus-
band had promised that he would not prosecute if she confessed,
and in consequence she did so.
The prisoner was again sent back to prison, and ordered io
'brought up on a future day, when Mr. Armstrong is to be in attend-
ance. She is a very decent-looking•woman, about 30 years of age ;
and during the examination appeared quite unmoved.

Another affray between the Coast Blockade.men and
the Sussex Smugglers took place at Bexhill on Wednes-
day : a considerable number of tubs with spiritwmn
'liquors were run, about three hundred, it is said, anl
about the same number was seized. A smart skirmish
look place, and some severe wounds were inflicted. A
smuggler, of the name of Benjamin Bradford, was talce:i
prisoner,. and he is now under confinement in one of the
Martello Towers.
