interspersed, which had a brilliant effect; under thi
crown was a transparency—
" The Bill is lost of Penalties and Pains,
• " And Carolina our Queen, triumphant reigns."
The whole of the house was lighted with much taste,
as were General LONG'S, and Mr. HAYWARD'S.' A
subscription was made for a bonfire, fire-works, AM
and beer for the populace, and the night was spent in I
joy and merriment.
In Whitechapel, many of the Sons of the Steel,
dressed in white jackets and caps, added much to the
harmony of the evening, by playing several select
pieces of music on their cleavers, with immense large
marrow-bones, and by their exertions gained great
applause.
Rosemary-lane exhibited not less than a dozen

taken to. the watch-house,.w•herc he behaved in a very
outrageous manner. Mr. Parry stated that the win,
dow appeared to have been broken by a bullet, which
he produced; and Mr. Corcoran solemnly protesting
that he had not committed the offence, and havico,
apologized to Mr. Nixon, the Ward Beadle, and
made a recompense to the complainant, was then
discharged.

In York Consistory Court, on Thursday, the 2d in-
stant, a suit for divorce was decided, which bad been
instituted by Mrs. Milicent I:illingley against her
husband, both residing at Nottingham. The com-
plaint of the wife was the adultery of the husband,
and the fact being admitted by Mr. NIcoLL, the cla.
fendant's Advocate, the Court pronounced for t... 4

divorce.
The benevolent and philanthropic Mrs. FRY visited
the Jail of Derby, on Thursday last, accompanied by
several Ladies of that town, who are about to form
themselves into a Committee for carrying into effect
'Mrs. Fity's plan for the instruction and relief of the
prisoners, particularly the females.
In removing the library, and clearing away the Boor
and book-cases that have so long encumbered the
Lady Chapel of Exeter Cathedral, a discovery has
been made of two ancient tombs. The sculpture of
both is early. They are placed. in Gothic•niches of
much later date; and appear to be the lids only o:
sarcophagi, and to have been removed from some
other station to that which they now occupy. T!!e
material is the Purbeck marble. The most ancient
of them .is the figure of a prelate with a depressed
mitre, a beard and mustachios ; the two filo: fingers
of the right hand pointing upwards, in the act of be-
nediction ; in the left hand a crosier. In spandriN
above the head, are on each side cherubs. The fat
of the figure and the crosier rest on two birds, which
terminate in the centre oath a single hea f, the face
of which is human. The sides and ends are wenieht
into wide flutes, without fillets, like the fluting of the
Doric column ; the front is placed parallel well the
niche, and the tipper corner of the lie at the hack in-
serted four or five inches into the wall. This t,•.1;11
is the north side of the chapel. The other onib is
placed in a niche on the south side of the c...apel,
immediately opposite that first described. This is
likewise the figure of a prelate, and is carved in ecd
style, and in much higher relief than the feriner.
'Me arms and hands are plated in easy and e,e.u-
ral positions on the body, over the staff Of t. o-
sier; the head or crook is defaced. The runic
this figure is of a more recent form than the other ;
the feet rest on a chimaera, carved in a style. of spirit
and beauty that wc.uld do honour" to a period of
more refined art. The head is that of a wolf, termi-
nating the body of a serpent, branching off on each
side, and scrolling down the 'ides of the lid, and
finally branching off into rich foliage, tastefully ar-
ranged by the feet of the figure, between which the
head is seen.
Saturday se'nniglit
,a shocking murder was com-
mitted betwixt Warwick and Wellesbourne, on the
body -of a 'gentleman named Morns, on his return
from Warwick. He was found in a ditch on the Sun-
day morning, terribly beat, and perfectly speechless.
He died on Monday, and on Wednesday four of a
gang of desperadoes were taken:up; one of whom
has made a voluntary confession of the murder ; and
another of them is a brother of the servant girl who
was lately hung at WarwiCk for the horrible murder
of her mistress, the wife of Mr. Dormer, at Chesford
Bridge, near Leamington.
DA RI NG .HtoHWAY ROBBSRY.—Wednesday a well
known character, who called himself Thomas James
Crotvt, nailor, was charged at Bow-street Office by
a respectable Country Gentleman with having robbed
him of his watch, gold chain, and seals, of consider-
able value. Mr. T. Garrol, the prosecutor, who is
an athletic and powerful man, stated that at six
o'oleck on Tuesday evening, he was walking down
Bishopsgate-street, when he was suddenly seized by
two risen, who held him on-each 'side so tightly that
he was unable to move, at the same time a person
from behind put his heads under the prosecutor's
chin, and forced back his head. He -was held for
some moments in this posture, daring which time he
felt his watch escape from his fob, and his pockets
were deliberately ransacked, lint fortunately be hal
nothing upon his person of particular value, except-
ing his watch. After having investigated the con-
tents of each of his pockets, the robbers released 11'm
as suddenly as they had seized him, and decamped
down the alleys near. the place. . Before they dis-
appeared, however, the prosecutor had sufficieat
time to recognise the person of the prisoner, and to
see hint hand his watch 'and seals to another of ee.,
gang.. The prosecutor pursued the prisoner with
the cry of " Stop thief!" down Catherine-whec!,-
zlley, when, fortunately, a labouring man Fas
up the elley, heard the cry and seized the prisoner
as—
bewas running, and detained him . until t!..2
prosecutdr came up, who would not oths?reeci
from the intricacy and darkness of the place, area
been able to. have caught the robber.—The priserzt
was fully committed to take his trial.

Bow-STREET.—Yesterday John Tuck and Daniel
Nash were charged before the sitting Magistrates
with being concerned in an attack on The Courier
Wee, on -Monday night.—Two constables stated that
they were in the house, when a violent beating was
heard against the shutters: Mr. MINSHULI., the Ma-
gistrate, ordered them to go to. The Morning Post
Office, where a body of Police Officers was stationed,
and procure a greater force: when they got outside,
they saw several- persons beating the office-doors and
shutters with sticks, of whom the prisoners appeared
to be the most active. They seized them, after some
opposition, and conveyed them to the office-door,
when a fellow struck one of the, officers a violent
blow on the head with a stick ; be, however, re-
tained his prisoner.—They were both remanded.
John Clarke was charged with being a rioter, in
front of the Courier Office. It appeared he had
knocked at the door several times, crying " The
Queen for ever! and light up!"
Mr. BIRNIZ asked the prisoner what he was?—He
stated that he was a tradesman, living in the neigh-
bourhood of Fleet-market--that he had a wife and
children—and had come out to see the illuminations
and rejoicings in honour of her Majesty, without any
intention of doing mischief.
Mr. ! What have you to rejoice
at? Time was when Englishmen were renowned
for gallantry; but it would seem they are strangely
altered, when they can rejoice at the downfall of a
woman, who had disgraced herself; at least the ma-
jority of her Peers have declared so ; and I confess I
see nothing to call for rejoicing—quite the reverse !
The prisoner said he could find bail.
Mr. Blame, " I shall not take bail ; for I shall take
the charge for beginning to demolish a house ; which,
I believe, is a capital offence."
A constable was then sworn, who said that he be-
lieved the intention of the prisoner to be, to demolish
the Courier Office, and the prisoner was remanded
till Monday.
• About twenty persons, chiefly boys, were fined
20s. each, for letting off fire-works in the streets.
M. Egan was charged as follows :—Mr. Cormin,
of Covent-Garden, stated, that he, a Mr. J. DAWSOI3,
and others, hired a coach on Monday awing, for
the purpose of viewing the illuminations, and as they
were going down Drury-lane, witness saw the pri-,
soner on his knees in the road, close to the horses
heads. Witness called out to him, and be jumped
up, and seizing the horses, backed them with great
force against a waggon, which was passing in the
same direction. The violence of the concussion upset
the coach, and Mr. Dawson being thrown under the
waggon, the wheel passed over his chest, and he was
killed on the spot. The prisoner expressed the deepest
sorrow for what had happened, and said he had
backed the horses to save himself from destruction.
The waggoner, lie added, was more to blame, and
should have been taken up instead of him. He was
remanded until a Coroner's Inquest shall have sat
upon the body.
HATTON-GARDICN..-- Six persons were charged
with firing off squibs, and each convicted in the
penalty of 20s. which they paid, and were discharged.
One, in default of payment, was committed to Clerk -
enivell Prison, and upwards of twenty reprimanded
and discharged. The Sitting Magistrate was up all
night to receive charges.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—This Office, yesterday,
resembled an armoury, upon a minor scale, from the
production of fire-arms of every denomination which
had been seized during the night. No less than 50
persons were fined 20s, each for discharging
.guns,
pistols, Etc. which not only disturbed the quiet of
the town, but did much other mischief. Four cases,
very serious, if not fatal in their nature, were repre-
sented to the Magistrates, two of which were the loss
of sight; a third, the loss of an aim ; and another,
the premature labour of a female; who was frights
ened by a niffiaa discharging a bhinderbuss close to
her head.
•QUEEN•SQUAIIE.—The Magistrates and officers,

instant. He came out of his quarters without his
cap, and took the pistol from some man who got
away ; that he then fired it into the air, and would
have pursued the offender, only he was taken. Tire
Serjeant-Majorsaid, he felt it his duty to bring. the
Corporal before the Commanding Officer, because,
according to his own statement, lie had robbed
man of the pistol. He had no right to take a pistol
from any man in the street; and the military, even'
on duty, had no other rower than to aid the Civil
