rived here and joined their brethren, and about four'
o'clock, the whole assembled upon the Sands, to the
amount of nearly 2200, where they passed some Re-
solutions ; the greater part afterwards marched into
the market place and English-street, in close order,
without the least noise or disturbance, and in a short
time those resident at a distance departed for their
homes in the most peaceful manner. In the course
of the day, the Committee issued another hand-bill,
pledging themselves that every thing should be con-
ducted with a scrupulous regard to the public tran-
quillity, and they also made a communication to the
Mayor, explaining their wishes and their object.
Hitherto, with the exception of the violence and
threats employed in compelling the unwilling to
leave their work, the men have conducted themselves
with great decorum, and we hope they will continue
to pursue this line of conduct. The detachment of
the ISth Hussars for some time past quartered here,
under the orders of Major Kennedy, was to have
marched on Thursday morning on its route to Ire-
land ; but, at the requisition of the Mayor and other
Magistrates, its departure is very properly delayed.
The demand of the men (as modified) is now an
increase of one shilling per cut upon each quality of
goods, and uniform prices. Many of the Manufac-
turers are disposed to accede to their wishes, and
hopes are entertained that a speedy accommodation
will be effected. Their demand does not appear to
us to be at all unreasonable ; and we feel great. plea-
sure in repeating, that they are deserving of the
greatest praise for their peaceable conduct. We hope
the time will arrive when the very remembrance of
their present wretchedness will be lost in the enjoy-
ment of plenty and comfort.

brother to the Earl of Liverpool, attended at the above Office, ,
to prefer a charge against William Eussell, a carman, of the fol-
lowing nature:—lle stated that be was on horseback on Thurs-
day last, riding near the Edgeware-road; his servant was riding
behind on a very spirited mare, and on arriving near to the pri-
soner's cart, he cut the animal several times with hi. horsewhip,
which made it run off at a furious rate, and his servants life
was in imminent danger..--Mr. Jenkinson immediately got off
his horse and collared tbc prisoner, who was very impudent.—

but of which he made him a present.

TWO DESPERATE FOOTPADS TAKEN.—On Tuesday
last, Hall, the Officer of Union-hall, having occasion
to visit Essex on special business, c tiled at the Green
Man, Navestoke, near Itornford, where he learnt that
a poor labouring man, about 60 years of age, named
William Gentry, who had been to visit a ploughing
match guar that place, was, on his return home the
preceding day,. knocked down and most barbarously
treated, and robbed of 9s. all the money he had in the
world. Hall, on making further inquiry, learnt that
the man who was suspected was a most desperate
character, and dreaded by ail the neighbourhood,
where he was well known to have committed various
robberies. Ilall, notwithstanding the account he had
heard of this foimidable depredator, determined to
go in pursuit of him single-handed; and from the
information he received, bent his course towards Pil-
grim-hatch, near 13rentwood, where he found and.
apprehended John Fincham, alias Caskey,alias Buggy,
and took him before the Rev. CHARLES TOWERS, of
Brentwood, where he was identified for the robbery,
and fully committed for trial to the Counts. Gaol at
Chelmsford, at the next Assizes. On Fincham's exa-
mination, it was discovered that he had an accom-
plice in the robbery, whose name was John Guy ; on
which Hall immediately went in pursuit of him, and
succeeded in apprehending him the same evening at
Coxley-green, when, on taking him before Mr. C.
Towmts, he was admitted by him as an evidence for
the Crown against John Fincham, and committed to
Chelmsford 13ridewell until the Assizes.

Disadvantages of Icing bulky !—Last week a gentle- ,
man made his appearance in Huddersfield, and went
to a proprietor of one of the coaches to take a pas-
sate for Manchester, hut, owing to the enormous size ,
of his person, he was refused, unless he would con-
sent to be taken as lunrEfr, at 9d. per stone ! The
gentleman was not to be disheartened by this disap-
pointment, but adopted the plan of sending the hostler
of one of the inns to take a place for him, and early .
in the morning placed himself in the coach, and was
taken to its destination, to the no small disappoint-
ment of the coach-proprietors, who were compelled
to convey three gentlemen who had previously taken
places, in a chaise, as there was no room- beside the
bulky gentleman, who actually weighed 36 stone !
A singular circumstance lately occurred at Darley
Abbey, near Derby. The laundry-maid spread out
in an open drying-ground, among other things, five
yards of narrow leno muslin, in two pieces. In a
'short time she missed them, and looked for them in
vain. Two days afterwards; along with many other
articles, she laid out five yards of lace, in five sepa-
rate pieces, these also soon disappeared, and every
possible inquiry was made for them, but they could
not be found. Four days after this, a labourer saw
something white hanging out of a snag-pie's nest,
at the distance of eighty yards from the drying-
ground, and having heard of the loss of the lace, Ste.
he took down the nest, and the leno and lace were
found within it, beautifully interwoven, and twisted
among the twigs, so as to form a complete lining.
In the man's eagerness to recover the lost articles,
the nest, which was a real curiosity, was, unfortu-
nately, pulled in pieces, and the whole ten yards
were taken out, uninjured and unsoiled.
Amu:sexy—Sunday last, two young lads, brothers, named Bur-
bage, running along the barges at a coal wharf at the bottom of
Fountain-court, in the &rand, one of them, William, unfortu-
nately slipped off, and was drowned. Every means was used
for the recovery of the body, but long before the youth was
found, he was a corpse. Tke feelings of the surviving brother
were heart-tending in the extreme.—A Coroner's Inquest was
yeeteiday held untie deceased. Verdict, Eccidtutal Mich. ' ,
