NED NiAL'S BENEFIT.

A very respectable muster of the Fancy took place yesterday. at
the Tennis Comte, to afford, by OW mites, some consolation to
Ned Neal, for his late gallant defeat by Young Dutch Sam. Ned,
however, although be bad posted all the way from Ludlow to be
present, was unable to show • 'Cie un being put to bed at the Angel
Inn, &. Clement's, his meical .men said it would be highly dan-
gerous for him to venture out. His head is in fact in a dreadful
state, and some time must elapse before it Is reduced to its natural
site, or be can recover the command of his vision. Ile ii, we us-
! demand, more mortified in his pride than in the Sash, and feels
16. that within which passeth show." An apology was made for
11 his absence, and a grateful acknowledgment of his thanks offered
to those who bad so kindly come forward to support him. Sam
i was also absent, not having yet returned to town. His punishment
I. represented as having been heavy, and his upper lip is described
as having been completely cut through by one of Ned s left-banded
jobs toward, the cunclus:on of the battles There was no talk of a
second match. The setting to was excellent; and: dm wind-up;
1 between 'font Spring and Tom Gaynor, gave great satisfaction.--
No day has yet been mentioned for giving up the stakes to Sam,
but all bets are to a course of liquidation.

'.IIRICIC-LANE EXPLOSION.

It would appear we were wrong in ascribing the
cause of the explosion of the Chartered Company's ga-
someter. at Brick-lane, to the wilfulness of the work-
men. No blame whatever attaches to them. In re-
pairing the gasometer, which is suspended born the
centre, according to the old fashioned mode. and, we
conclude, without any gride-rods, the weight of the
assistant manager, who was on the top, tilted the gaso-
meter (then entirely filled with gas), and broke one of
the stays. The upper side, being quite out of the
water, stuck fast on the edge of the tank ; allowing the
gas of coarse to escape, and to co-mix with the sur-
rounding atmospheric air, until it became an explosive
mixture. In this state it was exploded, by means or
lights, which are, very improperly, always kept in the
angles of the gasometer house. These angles are, it
seems, used as work-shops! After the first explosion,
the immense volume of flame from the escaping and
ignited gas rose, it is said, the height of fifty feet. The
Wool-pack public-house and several hbuses in the vi•
cinity of the works are said to be much shattered.

THE NEW BUILDING ACT.

This Act makes some very important alteration in the
law, well calcutated for the prevention of fires. All new
buildings in London, Westminster, and Southwark, are
divided into eight classes. Buildings above 50 feet high
are of the first class ; from 42 feet to 50, second class ;
from 31 to 42, third ; from Si to 35 feet are of the fourth
class. The other classes ate regulated by diminished
height and other circumstancer.The thickness of the walls
is to be regulated by the class to which the building
belong*. MI but the lower classes are to have the ex-
ternal walls built from the foundation upon a footing of
the width of 9 inches more than the thickness of the wall,
which is at the least to be 1 foot 5 inches to the first floor,
IS inches to the plate or gutter, and from thence to the
top of the wall eight and a half inches. The party wall
to have a similar footing. and to be in thickness 1 foot
10 inches, gradually decreasing to thirteen inches at
least at the top. The thickness of the walls for the
other classes decrease gradually. In cases of rebuild-
mg or repairing the party walls, when not of the thick-
ness required by the present Bill to be taken down
and re•ouilt. The party walls are at least to be
one foot six inches above the roofs. The Bill sego-
late. the thickness of chimnies, and construction of
floes, and determines the way in which disputes, as
to ownership and expense of building party walls,
&c. are to be arranged. and compels persons to take
down or secure ruinous buildings. And to deter
ill minded people from setting their houses or
buildings on fire, with a view of gaining the Insu-
rance money, the Insurance Offices are authorized
to expend the money in repairing the damages
done by the fire ; and to prevent fire* by the negli-
gence of servants. the Bill enacts, that in all
such cases, on conviction, by the oath of one wit
ness, before two Justices of the Peace, the servant
convicted shall pay 501. to ►e distributed by the Church-
wardens, amongst the sufferers by the fire; and in de-
fault of payment, shall be committed to the Gaol or
House of Correction, and kept to hard labour for any
term not exceeding eighteen months. This is by much
the heaviest punishment the law allows on a summary
conviction before Magistrates. without trial by a Jury.

READING SAUCE.

JCOCKS and SONS, the Proprietors of the cele-
• bested READING SAUCE, beg most respectfully to
caution the Nobility, Families, and the Public, against the daily
frauds and impositions practised by many London and Country
Oilmen, who are offering for sale their own spurious compositions
as Reading Sauce.
None are genuine but those which have the corks sealed with
the impression, "J. Cocks, Reading." And also, these words,
orange coloured labels, " Reading Sauce, for Fisb, enriching,
Gravies, &c. prepared and sold, wholesale and retail, by J. Cocks,
Reading." . _

It is presumed that no Sauce ever met with such general appro-
bation and extensive sale : it it patronised and recommended by
most families in the kingdom, and retailed in London by 250 of
the most respectable Oilmen and Fish Sauce Venders; also by one
or more in every dty, market town, and watering-place in the

FRENCH CLAIMS ON BUENOS AYRES.

•
A Paris letter says that the French Government some time ago
instituted claims on that of Buenos Ayres, fir captures, amounting
to about 360,00 e dollars, in the same manner as the British did for a
sum nearly of the same amount; bat, as some of the cases required
investigation, no meciiic award bad been-made ; indeed, the matter
had use been pressed, it bring impossible for antseulement to be
had'in the convulsed state of the country—and die Treasury, besides,
empty. •Lavalle's outrageous conduct, who, after brewing down
the Federal Government, the one established by the provioces,and
which had just come out of the late war with Brasil with distin-
swished, honour. besides murdering, in cold blood, Governor Bor-
rego, gave rise to as act of . hostility co the part of the French
naval Commander ; and when the step was once resolved upon, the
two questions were blended together. Lavelle, after closing his
correspondence with the French Causal, the latter having declared
to him that his countrymen, in the character of neutrals, could not
be Celled upon tobeat arms in a quarrel of a local nature, ordered
the French residents away. This shows what the unhappy pro-
% winces of ihe River Plate would have been subjected to, if this
military faction bad been able to consolidate itself and retain the
ascendancy.. The Paris Government seems perfectly satisfied with
the Consul's conduct, and it is believed that an additional naval
force will be sent to the River Plate. M. Mandeville's dispatchei
represent the state of the inhabitants in the city as wretched in the
extreme : overawed by a licentious soldiery, compelled to endure
the hated sight of the murderer of the only man, and the destroyer
of theionly °mammas which they have had (or several years,

ceedve tactless of another claws .

What can M. de Polignac do?—Re the Censorship, de-

What else can he do? Let us cast aside this ridiculous parallel.
We have not a Tory, but a Jacobite Ministry. We have
not a Wellington in the Administration : but, freedmen, the
followers of Wellington—men who went over to him in the
field of battle, and who will not be able to defend against a Coun-
cil the dignity of the Throne and the country.
If, however, England and Austria have desired to remits them-
selves she assistance of a submissive French Cabinet, will not this
servility of our policy drag us into an immense war? Will Wel-
lington say to the Emperor Nicholas, that strong in the alliance of
MM. de PoUgnac and Beurmont, he forbids him to pass the Ea-
ten ? And is France, instead of being a neutral and predominant
power, to become a subaltern auxiliary of England, and spend bet
blood and treasure for a Ministry the most anti-national ever yet

ROSSINISME IN PARIS.

An elegant compliment, quite in the French style, has
been paid to Rossnii' on the brilliant success which has
attended his last production, Guillaume Tell. It is
described as follows in a Paris Journal:

" Friday evening an immense crowd assembled on the Boulevard
des Varieles, before Itussiri'■ residence, in consequence of a report
that the instrumental and vocal performers of the Opera intended
to serenade this great master of modern music. At midnight, ac-
cordingly. the singers and musicians ascended a terrace in frost of
the horse, and the impatient murmurs of the crowd were imtan-
taneougy succeeded by the most profound silence. The orchestra
first executed a invite movement from the overture to Gillostaerell,
which was beard with enthusiastic applause, and vehemently en-
cored (recleaning es gratisis aria). This was followed by a beautiful
Tyrolese air from the same Opera, with which the stulitary were
greatly delighted. Another piece and a chorus from the Omit Ors
(without accompaniment) were afterwards sung in excellent style
by the most distinguished singers. The beauty of the evening, the
enchanting music executed cat snare, and the religious attention
of the multitude, conspired to give peculiar charms to this feast of
genius It was also a farewell, as M. Rossini quits Paris tu •
few days. and visits his afar canary, where be will remain tee
months. He carries with him a manuscript by M. Scribe, on
which he will exercise his talents. His Majesty has conferred a
new testimony of favour on M. Rossini. by electing him a Cheva-
lier of the Legion of Humor. He has also been pleased to allow
the new Opera to be dedicated to him."

REPORT MADE TO THE KING OF

FRANCE.

The Keeper of the Seals in France bas just submitted far the
year 1828, his annual Report to the King, on the state Of the Cri-
minal and Civil Jurisprudence of that country. The first part of
It has not yet come to our bands, but from the second part, con-
tained in the Avenel ales Degas of Friday, we make the following
extracts

The crimes of the Press and of the Book trade in 1848, in Paris,
and Its departments. amounted to 142 accusations; 116 cases were
brought to trial, and of them 72 were acquitted, and 90 found guilty.
Of the 90, 24 were fined only, and 22 Mod and imprisoned.
The appeals were 5,833, being, like last year, the one-twentieth •
part of the causes tried in the first instance. Of 100 decisions
appeakd against, 54 were confirmed, and 46 reversed, In whole
or in part.
Of 2,426 perwsns accused. who were finally, en appeal, acquitted
298 were arrested, 38 had been detained less than a month, 118
from one to sls month% 92 from two to three months, and SO for
above three months.

The number of relapsed criminals, or of those accused a second
time, which, in 1e46. was 756; in 1627,695. was. in 1821, '1,114
of which 1,009 were males, and 175 females. But it is to be ob-
served that this augmentation is only of persons who had been
punished corredimally j and. perhaps, it is now to be ittributed
to a greater correctness than formerly into convictions of ibis de-
scription. The number of those who have previously been ;object
to bard labour has diminished, within the three years, from 179
to 152, and that of the accused liberated from confinement has
not varied.

Among the relapsed, 905 had only beat once before condemned,
when they again appeared as criminals; 190 had been twice before
condemned, 64 three times, l 3 four times, seven five times, two six
times, and only one had before incurred seven c nd.mnations ; and.
for the eighth time, he was sentenced to bard labour.
Of the 1,182 relapsed criminals, 146 were prosecuted for crimes
against the person, which make 12 in the 100, *l4k it.e general
proportion of alines against the person, in the whole number of
accused, was 25 in the 100.
Jo 1827, the proportional number of these camel was SS is the
100, in the whole number, and uoly 11 in the 100 in the relapsed.
In 1828, 251 persons were accused of lusassitusties; of this number
111 had been abodeenned and liberated • 4 of these had previalisly
, been sentenced to bard labour, 1 to close confinement, dud IS to

HATTON-GARDEN.

An investigation has been for some time going on at this office
relative to an extensive system of depredation which has been pur-
sued, undetected, for a length of time, at the premises of Mr. S.
mud Hollingsworth. upholsterer, Bedford-street, Bedford-row.
The parties implicated are the prosecutor's own son (Thos. Hol-
lingsworth), a woman named Catharine Wiagrove—both in cus-
tody—and her husband, who has absconded, and for some time
previous was in Mr. Hollingsworth's employ as porter.
The final examination, which took place this day, developed the
following particulars :—Mr. Hollingsworth, having very infirm
health, was accustomed to sleep in the country, and intrusted the
warehouse to the care of his son. The woman Wingrove and her
husband by some meant contrived to obtain his consent to be ad-
mitted on the premises, and took away a large quantity of property.
Whole pieces of carpeting, dressing cases, and other valuable ani-
des of cabinet furniture, disappeared, and, from the extensive na-
ture of the stock. were never missed. The discovery at length
took place from his son Thomas absconding with a check for 30/.
which his father had intrusted him with to get cashed.
Warrants were immediately obtained, and the parties at the bar
apprehended.
_ _ _

A number of pawnbrokers were in attendance, who produced
the property, which was immediately identified. The son admitted
4aving been instrumental In pawning part of them, and, the offence
being clearly proved, they were both fully committed.
The prosecutor has been very unfortunate in his children, having
had the painful task of witnessing the sentence of another of his
sous, who has lately been transported for a term of years.

ployed by a man named Davis, who paid him .Cl per week. He

GENERAL BOLIVAR.

We feel much gratified in being able to insert the fol-
lowing extract of a letter from General Liotiv Alt to a
persori in England, whom he honours by his friendship.
The letter is dated Quito, April 27, 1829. It is cha-
racteristic of the writer, whom we consider to be one of
the most virtuous as well as eminent men, to whom the
welfare of nations was ever committed. No ruler ever
more faithfully discharged his trust—no possessor of
irresponsible power ever regulated his will by more atten-
tion to public rights. His glory only needed for its fullest
completion, in the esteem of mankind, that proof of
moderation in victory, and under outrage, which his
conduct towards Peru, or rather the faction of General
LA MA R, has afforded : and his expressions of regret at
the anarchy that has desolated, discredited, and put in
jeopardy the South American States, are the best answers
that could be given to the calumniators of his policy,
whilst they at the same time offer the most satisfactory
security for the maintenance of order in the more fortu-
nate country over which he presides.

- _
" Qom, Arius 27. 1829.
" You cannot possibly conceive all that has passed between Pent
and us. Its Government declares war against us—we conquer
them—and in the midst of our triumphs, we concede to them an
honourable peace.
Notwithstanding our generosity, they do not fulfil the
Treaty, and continue the war with greater enormities
than ever. Moreover, General La Mae perseveres to insult us
most grossly in all his official communicadons—destitute of justice

and reason, he pours forth his invective against us—in fact, we
continue the war in spite of ourselves, and of our moderation.
which has descended even to humility ! The Public Papers would
inform you of all these things—l have not wished to leave the
slightest pretext for Envy or Malice to dare even an insinuation
against me for harbouring ambitious views.

It will now be seen that the fault of the war
does nut rest with us, and that we have given every
proof that could be demanded of our love of peace.
My Proclamation will convince you of the eaceasive forbear-
ance I have displayed, in order to disarm my very enemies.
—I have the satisfaction to inform you, however, that Bolivia,
now under the direction of my friend General SANTA Curs, has re-
established her laws with her independence, and is co operating
with a great portion of the Peruvians--sensible of the inju4tice of
the war—to accelerate its termination. Hopes may therefore be
entertained of some early favourable changes.

" You will no doubt have felt scandalised by the occurrences in
Mexico and the other American Republics. These lamentable
disorders of America justify my political conduct, and the prin-
ciples by which it has been directed: and I trust that an impartial
world—should it think rime in this epoch of turbulence—will put
in contrast the system of order I have always advocated with these
proceedings of anarchy—and render me that justice which I alone
desire. (Signed)
" BOLIVAR."
