of the above establarnent, of two 501. for allowing
theattical reptesentations, were confirmed, under an
agreement with the parish, that pie penalties should not

A destructive fire broke out on Tuesday night in the
stables belonging to Mr. Walter Cossar, in Dunse, when
property to a considerable amount, including several
valuable horses, was destroyed.
Yesterday, about two o'cloac, as a French Gentleman
was riding in a gig lilting Piccadifiy, the hone took
fright and ran off, overturning tt e gig. from which the
Gentleman was thrown with great violence. The horse,
having dashed the gig to pieces, ran down Piccadilly
at a furious pace, and several females and children very,
narrowly escaped being trampled by it. The Gentle.:
man, whom thigh appeared to be broken, was taken to'
his house in the neighbourhood. A Lady who had'
been sitting in thesis with him had alighted about a
minute before the accident occurred.
About a fortnight ago, as a man in the employment
of Mr.-Morton, •the Landlord of the Derby Arms at
Croydon, was engaged cleaning a horse in his master's
yard, a tame fox, which was kept chained on the pre-
mises, bit him-on-the calf of the leg. The wound.which
was very slight, -was dressed; but in a few days after.
wards, the unfortunate man began to show evident
symptoms of hydrophobia, and -although the usual
means were adoptedfor mitigating the paroxysms, the
unhappy patient expired, atter suffering all the tortures
produced by -that dreadful milady. Previous to the
fox having bitten the dedeased,the knimal was not con-
sidered mad; and-the men were in the habit of playing
with it continually, Without any apprehension. Even
after it had bitten the deceased, it exhibited no more
ferocity than before the accident. Mr. Morton had the
animal destroyed imm•clively, on ascertains the clan.
ger of keeping it any longer en-his premises.

informed that the colony was now removing, seemed to be indiffr.

DI•VING INCIDENTS VOA WRITING • LIVIL...—SaIIIVIIay a stutdy
looking personage, named Aylsbury, who stated himself to he a
Market gardener, residing at Hammersmith, was brought up from
St. Niartin's watchhouse, where he had passed the previous night,
in spite of real constables, amateur constables, and watchmen.
Mr. Mitesnott—What brought you to the watehhouse?
Oh, said the cultivator of flowers, in a tone of indescribable
gravity, I am about to write and publish the history of my life, and
I came up to London in quest of adventure. I thought a night
spent in the black hole of a watchhouse would furnish my readers
with amusing incident, and so accordingly, hi order to be able to
give them a description true to nature, I went there; for you must
know, your Worship, that a barrow of practical knowledge is worth
a waggon load of theory.—(Peals of laughter.)
fillesnutt—Well, I hope you have been furnished with all
Irma wanted?
Why, said Aylsbury, I have been so far Ricky—l thank ye, Sir.
Mr. illaustiott—Well, now, if you will pay a shilling you shall
be discharged.
What! pay a shilling, observed Aylsbury, and suffer a night's
incarceration. Come, now, that's too much of a good thing; why,
it's too much by a great deal for nothing.
Ford, the gaoler—l can tell you that I shall lock you up if you'
don't.
Ayhboty (eagerly)—Will you, indeed? Why then, my good
fellow, I shall see the inside of your place too. Oh, come along,
lock me up by all means.
Ford—There will be no occasion for doing so, if you will pay the

Pay a shilling, forsooth, I must and shall be locked up first, ex-

Fuson AND Fonozar.—At a late hour on Saturday, Mr. Thomas
Griffin, of the firm of Griffin and Co. silversmiths, in Leadenball-
'street, gave information at this office, of the following fraud and
forgery. In the middle of the preceding week a man, about 40
year* of age, dressed in deep mourning, called at Mews. Griffin and
Co.'s shop, saying that he bad been directed by Messrs. Hawley, of
the Strand, to whom be was shopman, to get for them a dozen of
silver forks, of the old King's pattern. Mr. Griffin said, that at
that moment they bad not got any forks of the description in the
house, and asked if forks of his present Majesty's, pattern would
not answer. Oh no, was the reply—none but the old King's will
do. Mr. Griffin said they would have some home on the following
Saturday, when Messrs. Hawley might have what they wanted.
Accordingly on Monday last he called with the following note—
" 75, Strand. 14th January, 1828.
" Messrs. Hawley 's respects to Messrs. Griffin and Co. and have
delayed executing the order for the old King's pittern forks, owing!
to the representation of their assistant, Mr. Marchant, who in-
formed them that Messrs. G. and Co. would have the forks on Sa-
turday. The order must be imperatively executed, and sent per
mail this evening. Should the forks not have been returned, Messrs.
G. and Co. will let their young man look at some others, provided
Messrs.. G. and Co. will exchange them for the old King's pattern to
same weight, if their customer should not approve same.
On reading this note Mr. S. Griffin produced three or four dozen
of the forks, and wanted the supposed sbopman to take them. No,
said he, I can't take more than one dozen ; the weight is 40 oz.
which, at 7s. 641. per oz. (trade price), amounts exactly to 15/. and
here is a check, handing one purporting to be drawn by J. T. and
C. Hawley on Ransom and Co. Pall Mall. Not having the slightest
conception that there•was any thing wrong in the transaction, Mr.
T. Griffin put the check into his pocket, anddefivered up the torks;
but, to his no smallas:onishinent, on its being presented for payment
on Friday, the answer was, "No account. Application was in-
stantly made in the Strand, when Mr. Thomas Hawley informed
Mr. Gain that the cheek was a forgery, and that he and histwo
brothers, John and Chalks, had dissolved partnership more than
(eight years ago.
Mr. hassuou.offered the assistance of an officer to find out the
swindler, but Mr. Griffin however declined being at any further
eapense, but on leaving the Office he atated'his intention of appre-
hending hint wherever he suet him.

Saturday, a constable of Kilburn, nu charged by Lydia Penfold,
a licensed hawker, with assault. The prosectitris stated, that she
was regularly licensed to hawk about goods; for which purpose she
travelled in a large van, which constituted her " !sunset"
and she hawked her articles in a separate cart. On Thursday
last, while going along the Kilburn-road, the defendant came
up to her, in a state of intoxication, and demanded to know whether
she had a license ? She immediately produced it, and wished to
know by what authority he made the inquiry. He spewed his staff,
and said, he knew that she had smuggled goods in her cart; and he
began to search the cart, which she attempted to prevent. The
defendant struck her violently, and made use of language of an
indecent character to her. The defendant denied the charge
altogether.
Mr. Itawunsort—l want to know what right you had to inter-
fere with the poor woman ?
Defendant—l say I did.not interfere with her.
Mr. 'Mew:Anson—Well, what do you say to your being drunk?
Defendant—Unipb ! she says so, that's all.
Mr. liantsason—Well, you did nothing at all; but she swears
you did, " that's all ;" and all that you have to do now is, to find
good bail.—fle was detained for the bail.
