POLICE.

Gurt.nautt....-Surruesits.p MeaTING.—In conse-
quence of the iionsive precautions taken by the Ma-
gistrats.and the)udicious arrangement of the police
officed'abd constables to prevent not and confusion,
but little disorder resulted from the meeting on
Wednesday. Not a single person was in custody in
the LORD MAYOR'S district yesterday, and but three
on the list for this Justice Room, at all connected
with that meeting, viz. James Robinson, John Cooke,
and Edmond Butterworth. The two former were ap-
prehended by Thompson, one of the constables of St.
Sepulchre's who observed them busy trying persons'
pockets in ;he crowd, and at last saw Cooke pick a
pocket of a handkerchief ; he was prudent enough
not to seize him in the crowd, but suffered him to re•
tire with Robinson, up Long-lase, when he followed,
and with the, assistance of a journeyman painter, who
had witnessed the theft, took them both into custody,
and conveyed them quietly to the Cornpter ; the
handkerchief, a silk one, marked I. A. was found on
Cooke. The prisoners were remanded to Tuesday
next. The prisoners are known thieves.—The other
fellow Butterworth, was given in charge to Dare, an
officer, during the meeting, by several Gentlemen,
one of whom detected the prisoner's band in his
pocket ; but as none of the parties appeared against'
him, and no property was found upon him, he was
discharged, with an admonition from the Magistrate.

The Ray. MR. HARRISON.-...A little after eleven
o'clock, Mr. Arthur Thistlewood entered the Office,
Iland addressing Mr. Teague, the keeper of Giltspur-
street Compter, said he wished for an order to see
Mr. Harrison, who had been arrested on a s; arrant
from the Magistrates at Stockport, backed by the
Lon° MAYOR, during the meeting on Wednesday,,
and lodged in the Compter. Mr. Teague said there
was no objection, but it was necessary he should give
his name. On his mentioning his name, Mr. Teague,
hesitated, and referred the application to the Magis-
trate, adding, that every thing had been done to
render Mr. Harrison's. situation as comfortable as
possible; he bad been visited by his friends, and had
expressed himself satisfied with the attention That had
been paid him. a But, Sir," said Mr. Thistlewood,
a I wish to bail him." Mr. Teague replied, that was
impossible—bail had been 'offered, and refused by
the Loam MAYost on Wednesday, on the ground of
the wording of the warrant, which directed the offi-
cers to bring the prisoner before them, the signing
Magistrates.—Mr. Thistlewood said, " I beg you,
pardon ; you will find he can be bailed : am I to'
understand you refuse to let me see him Mr.
Teague said, it was with the Magistrate to give ar.'
order.—Mr. Alderman NIAGNAV observed, that as the
warrant had been backed by the Lord Mayor, and
Mr. Harrison kept in custody by his authority, he
would rather not interfere ; and advised Mr. Thistle.
wood to apply at the Mansion House, where he would
find his Lordship then sitting. Mr. Thistlewood
bowed and retired, but returned shortly afterwards,
his Lordship being from home on a water excursion.
The Alderman expressing no further disinclination,
Mr. Teague left the Office, and accompa:stied Mr.
Thistlewood himself to the Compter.

HArroN GARDEN. —Henry Bailey was charged by
Francis Fegan, a constable, with being very acme in
the mob in Smithfield, on Wednesday evening, excit-
ing them to acts of riot and disorder, and encourag-
ing them to beat and maltreat the constables, in
which he took a very active part. The complainant
stated, that he saw the prisoner and several others
attack a constable of Saint Pancras, whom they sin-
gled out ; that the prisoner knocked him down and
cut his hand dreadfelly, by forcing the truncheon
out of it, it being attached to his hand by a small
rope; that the prisoner then threw the truncheon
aniongst the crowd, and took the umbrella from him
whilst down, and that several of his companions
whilst he was down jumped and trampled upon him:
the constable, v hose name the complainant did not
know, was so dreadfully beat, that he was carried to
Saint Bartholomew's Hospital fur surgical assistance.
Witness, noticing the activity of the prisoner, kept
his eye upon him until he got assistance, and then he
took him into custody, and found the umbrella upon
him, which the prisoner took from the constable. On
searching the prisoner's pockets, he found two pair of
gentle:heti:gloves, two bad shillings, and a bad half-
crown, no good money_ but three halfpence, The
prisoner slid, he was a groom out of place; that he
happened to he a casuaFpassenger, then he was at-
tacked by the: complainant and other constable;
without the smallest provocation, as they did several
others, who only came to hear the Ilorators!
John Shearing, a notorious character, well known
to tie officers, was charged by George Jones, another
constable, with being a very active leader in the riot,
striking several constables, and calling out to the mob
to " go it, go it."
J. Colville, a journeyman baker, was also charged
by Thomas Bell, a constable, with striking him in the
execution of his duty, and being very assiduous in
promoting a riot, and exciting the mob to beat the
constables, many of whom were desperately beaten.
Mr. flail, High-constable for the Holborn division,
stated, that he was in Saint John-street, with a large
posse of constables under his command, for the pre-
servation of the peace ; that there was no appearance
of riot or disorder at five o'Opck, when the Smith-
field Meeting broke up ; but 'that a gang of about
fifty bad characters, for the sake of committing plun-
der, strove to excite the mob to acts of riot and out-
rage, and that the constables, in their endeavours to
disperse them, were dreadfully beaten ancrill used.
None of the persons who were injured being present
to prefer their charges, the prisoners were separately
reprimanded, and then discharged.
tittroasH44l..—Brook Crtinpox was brought to thil
Office yesterday, and examined before Mr. ALLEsi,
charged with having feloniously entered the house of
Mr. Simmons, thisign of the Duchess of York, Kent-
road, —lt 40.41;0 from the evidence of Mrs. Sim-
mons, * rye proseutor, that she had occa-
sion to go to her bed-room (which is a back room up
one pair of stairs) amd.that on entering the room she
found the window open, which she had leit shut--
She, however, thought her husband might have been
in the room wed opened tb, window, which she imf
mediately shut, and drew the curtain, in doing which
she raised the candle &little, and.at that wasupent saw
a man pass her and make towaeds the ,door. She in,
sturdy collared the man and,ipwe an alarm, still
keeping holds until she was .logged down essecal

steps of the stairs, when the man disengaged himself,
and ran out of the house. Mr. Simmons heird his
wife call for assistance, and went to Isar stid,when he
learnt a thief had been in the bed-room, and had'
made his escape. Mr. Simmons then pursued, and
called " Step thief when the prisoner who was
running, was secured by the watchman, and taken to
the watch-house, where be was searched, and on his
person was found a paper containing 10s. in copper,
14s. 6d. in silver, together with a watch, all of which
had been taken from a wardrobe in the bed-room,
and which were identified as the property of Mr.
Simmons ; it is supposed the prisoner had entered
the house by the bed-room window. Mr. Simmons
was robbed a short time ago of cash to a very great
amount, in a similar way.—Fully committed.

Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Clayton Arms,
Clayton-street, Kennington-Common' on the body of
Mrs. Baron. On Friday afternoon, It. Staring lelt
his waistcoat and some other things in care of the
deceased, whilst he went to play at cricket on the
Common. When he returned to her house the things
were missing, and she accused an Irish woman who
had been there of taking them awry. Staring be-
lieved the Irish woman was innocent, and he insisted
upon getting his things from the deceased, or he
would expose her. The deceased was very much
frightened, and was instantly taken ill. She conti-.
nued to get worse till next morning, when she died.
She had previously enjoyed a good state of health.—
Verdict—Died by the visitation of Goa.

Wednesday an Inquisition was taken at the Anchor
and Hope public house, Charlotte-street, Blackfriars-
road, on the body of a young man; named Ward.
The deceased had for some time been attached to a
young woman of respectable connections, and their.
union was fixed to take place next Sunday. It was
the wish of all parties that the ceremony should take
1 place at Fulham ; and on Monday evening the de-
ceased, accompanied by a young man named Heffel,
and another, took a boat and went to Fulham, to
give the Parish Clerk notice to be in readiness to re-
ceive them. Having performed this duty, they took
some refreshment, and again embarked to return;
but in coming down Chelsea or Battersea Reach, the
boat was drawn by the suction of the current under
a large barge, and the young men, being unskilled
in its management, could not move it, till the decea-
sed grit to the head of the barge, and, pushing it
with violence, succeeded in clearing off the boat, but
the jerk was so sudden that he could not recover
himself, and he was pitched iuto the water and
drowned. The young woman, his intended bride,
on hearing the news of his death, became delirious,
and his relations are inconsolable.—Verdict—Acci-
*Wally dnatined.
A few days since, a mower, in the employ of Mr.
Ellis, of Whatingbery. in Kent, unfortunately trod
upon the dole of his scithe, as it was lying upon the
ground, when the blade flew up, and cut the hinder
parts of his thighs in a dreadful manner, having com-
pletely divided the muscles and sinews, and the poor
man must speedily have bled to death, had not a sur-
geon been nigh at hand, who dressed his wounds un-
der the most excruciating pain. Should he survive
the effects of the accident, which is very doubtful, he
will be a cripple for the remainder of his life.
Last week, as Mr. &Lunn PROSSZR, of Talgarth,
Breconshire, was employing some labouring men in
draining a piece of fallow, they found several small
serpents, three feet under the surface of the ground,
nine inches in length, and about the size of common
whipcord, of a grey colour, and some quite white ;
three days afterwards, 15 more of them rose out of
the spring, but soon died in the air. •

The following extract from the confession of Isaac
erisorne, IAII9 was executed at Buffalo, New York,
on the 4th of April last, for the murder of his wife;_
six children, and two servants, cannot be read with-
out exciting sentiments of horror and astonishment at
the commivion of so unnatural and demoniacal a crimes

44 On the night of the 24th of March last, I was at
the Buffalo Tavern, until it was about one o'clock,
playing at cards, drinking, swearing, and committing
all the sin and wickedness which this kind of com-
pany are in the habit of doing. By this time my head
began to swim with the effects of ardent liquors, so
much so, that I could scarcely make my way home.
I was just entering the gate of my house, when I re-
ceived a blow on the head with a billet of wood, from
the force of which I fell prostrate on the ground, and
lay almost senseless for some minutes : when I awoke
from my delirium, I began to consider, and thought
that such conduct from a wife was too much to let
pass unnoticed; I therefore was determined to have
revenge upon her, and in the space of halt an hour,
as near as 1 can recollect, I endeavoured, with the
stun of my wound, to crawl towards the house, and
the more is the pity, for the first thing that presented
itself to my view was the wood are! and being now
prepared, like a butcher going to slaughter, I came to
the bed where my wife and three children were lying.
I did not hesitate one moment, began to cut and
slash among these four, while they lay sleepint; the
first was my wife; the axe was buried in her bosom !
the children clung so close to her that they were cut
to pieces, and by this time the bed was doverflowed
with human gore ; the sound of these distressed suf-
ferers alarmed my other three children—alas! what
must have been my feelings at this time ? they began
to be much confused; but I still pursued my slaugh-
ter until my wife and six children lay floating in their
blood. The savage heart is never satisfied : after com-
mitting this horrid act upon my own flesh and blood,
my two servants became the objects of my butcher-
ing heart ; they had some suspicion of my intention,
and endeavoured to make their escape through a
back window in the lower part of the house—
the old black woman being half in and bailout, I ran
with my axe and cut her-legs off as she was going
out of the window ; her daughter, who had a tender
feeling for her mother, came to me and implored
, mercy from my hand ; but no, the Devil would not
let my savage soul stop here, but I immediately put
an end to their existence ; this being done, there then
lay nine innocent persons floating in their own crim-
son gore. Still not being satisfied with what I had
already done, I first took the two servants and built a
fire in the kitchen fire place, which was large enough
to hold half a quarter of wood, then placing the wo-
man on the back part of the fire, and the daughter
on the front, I then went up stairs and brought down
the bodies of my wife and children and burnt them
likewise !! 'l.—Anterievi Peper.
