SALE OF THE FITTINGS UP AND ORNA-

MENTS OF A SYNAGOGUE..

A great assemblage of Jews collected on Thursday
at the auction rooms of Mr. Denew, Charles•street,
Berkeley-square, in consequence of the announced sale
of the fittings up, Sec. of the late Jewish Synagogue, in.
Queen-street, Golden-square.
The Synagogue was broken op about two months
since, in consequenceof the want of a sufficient number
of subscribers to meet the currrent expenditure. Mr.
Joseph, of WArdour-street, Soho, took possession of the
appendages, as he had advanced a considerable sum for
the expenses of the Synagogue. The following list of
the plate articles, which altogether weighed about three
hundred ounces, used in the ceremonies, may be in-
teresting :—They were all of a costly and beautiful de-
scription, and similar to some of the same articles used
in the ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church. An
ewer and dish, three pair of bells, an inscription plate of
the Commandments, five silver hands used b• the

reader, a goblet and cup, and two spice castors. Besides
these here were inchided in the lot, which was sold
altogether, sit copies of the Pentateuch. written on
parchment, and apparently of very great antiquity, a
parchment roll of the Book of Esther, twenty silk
mantles, and eight silk draperies for the ark, two omet
boards, two rams' horns, several Hebrew books, and the
seal of the Synagogue.
Previous to the commencement of the sale, great
anxiety was manifested by the Hebrews to prevent, if
possible a public auction. The property, however, was
put up, and the first offer made was 50 guineas, which
advanced, in a few moments, t 0245, at which the whole
paraphernalia were knocked down to Mr. H. Jacobs, a
wealthy Israelite resident is the City.

An Inquest was" held on the 3d inst. on the body of
G. Barns, of Bowden Hill. Whilst working in a neigh-
bouring wood, he quarrelled with, a fellow workman,
and as the parties were invoking the curse .f GOD upon
each other in the common language of swearers, the de-
ceased suddenly expired, with an oath upon his lips !
Verdict," Died by the visitation of Gon.
A very fine specimen of the Andea Stellaris, or Bit-
tern, eneasoring three feet six inches in length, and four
feet one inch in breadth, was shot on Tuesday by Sir
Edward Poore's gamekeeper, and seat to Mr. Edwards,
of Amesbury, to be preserved. This bird is beconie
nearly extinct in this country.
Some time since, Mr. Haynes, a respectable silk ma-
nufacturer, in Lawrence Lane, Cbeapside, ordered a
piece of shag velvet (100 yards) from nis factory at
Kitson, in Northamptonshire, to be sent to his house in
London, and it arrived by coach at the George and Blue
Boar, in Holborn, on Wednesday, the 31st of January.
Shortly alter the arrival of the coach, a man called for
the parcel, which, on his describing the address, was
delivered to him, but very soon afterwards it was dis-
covered that the man had not been sent by Mr. Haynes,
and that he had stolen the parcel. A description of his
person was then given to the police, and a day or two
afterwards, Gooding, a conductor of Bow-street patrol
'(and Rho is himself a silk weaver), apprehended a
man named George Clives, who had formerly been
a journeyman in Mr. Haynes's employ, and he was iden-
tified as having received the parcel at the coach.office.
Gooding subsequently received information which led
him to the shop of a respectable hatter in Oxford-street,
named Keith, who bad recently purchased 61 yards of
velvet shag (used in making silk hats)from one Padbury,
a person known as a silk factor. Padbury said he was
commissioned to sell the velvet for Mr. Durant, a
manufacturer, in Sealstight-street, Bethnal Green.—
Dorant referred to Mr. Morris, who is also a manu-
facturer, residing in Conduit street, Bethnal Green.
Yesterday morning Mr. Haynes, Durant, and the officer
Gooding, waited upon Morris, who flatly denied having
any such transaction with Durant, who as strongly af-
firined it. Gooding then felt it necessary that these parties
should appear before the Magistrate, and on the road
to Worship-street, Morris said it was useless longer to
disguise the truth. He then acknowledged that he had
transferred the velvet to Durant, having himself received
it from Mr. Jones, a publican, in Swan street, and who,
he believed, had received it for a bad debt. The party
then went to Mr. Jones, who said Morris Was a d—d
liar, and that he would follow them to Worship-street.
The parties went before the sitting Magistrate, and
Morris being placed at the bar, the facts stated were
sworn to. Mr. Jones, however, was not then in attend-
ance, and the case was adjourned for further investiga-
tion. Morris was committed in the meantime, Mr.
Twyford clining, in that stage of the business, to re•
ceive bail for his appearance.
Thursday, while a youth was cleaning a two pair of
stairs window at a house in Bennet.street,Mary-la-bonne,
the board on which he was sitting broke, and he fell on
the pavement ; when taken up he appeared paralyzed
and insensible. A surgeon passing by pronounced his
spine to be injured, and he is not expected to recover.

GUI LDH A
Idr. Alderman VenAntas was engaged yesterday In hw±tash
for a Police Magistrate, namely, ascertaining whether had
or bed not been guilty of adultery ?
Mr' Stuttridge, a traveller for a respectable commercial house,
about four months ago turned his wife out of daces, in consequence
of her sister impugning her chastity, in some dispute. He allowed
bet lls.a week until be satisfied his mind of the troth of tbe impu-
tation, sod then he refused to give her another farthing. She
=to the Overseers, who summoned the husband before Mr.
an Vs/mum, for neglecting to provide for her, according
WMu means. Mr. Stuttridge stated. that during his very (re-
grow absence from home, in the last ten years, his wife had
carried en a criminal intercourse with various men ; that she had
kept onb man for a time In Newgate; that she used to meet
another io Newgate-market; that a Ilnendraprr in the neigh

bourbood, who has a large family, had been a constant visitor
to the Lady; and that he lately well thrashed him in his own
shop, without any notice being taken of it; and that taking
her a few nilles into the country. upon his journey, she took home
a Frenchman at night, from whom she received • gold pia, as
the wages of her infamy. Mrs. Sturtridge energetically protested
that she was thoroughly innocent—her only fault was, that she
gave a little liberty to her tongue. As to the Frenchman, nothing
criminal could have taken place with him, became she knew not a
word of French, nor he a word of the English tongue. The linen-
draper only called now and then upon matters of business. Mr.
Sturtridge persiating in his charges, the Alderman said, if the wo-
man was an adultress, be would award her no more than enough
to keep her front starving. If she was otherwise, sbe. ought to be
supported in a style suitable to her husband's rank In life. He
therefore appointed another day (yesterday) to hear witnesses
on each side, as to that point. Two young women, who bad
lived as servants in Mr. Sturtildge's house in Wen-street,
Cripplegate, Were examined. One of them deposed, that the
linendreper was a frequent visitor; and after his departure
she used to observe her mistress's hair, and gown, and
the sofa, were out of order. When some Gentlemen were with
her mistress, she repeatedly found the doors locked; her mistress
sent letters to different men, and her mother took tier sway only on
account of the immorality of her mistress's conduct. Tne secorfd
girl spoke to her going to Newgate.market with letters, to make
appointments for her mistress, bringing home the Frenchman at ten
at night, and entertaining him till halt-past one in the morning—to
her going out at night with a Mt. Waters, taking her night-clothes,
and not returning till seven the next morning—and wiser mistress
receiving a watch as a present from a Mr. Bott.
The Alderman here stopped the evidence, and called on Mrs. S.
for her reply
She stated that both the witnesses against her were toe familiar
with their master; that she did not understand witnesses would be
heard, sod that she bad only her landlady to speak to her conduct,
,since the had left her husband's roof.
The Alderman declined bearing this witness, and the husband
stated that even in this latter period he had seen her beckoning
to men in the street, who bad followed her to a brothel.
The wife replied that she bad never set her foot in a brothel but
once, and that was his mother's.
The husband protested that a more moral woman than his mother
never existed, and cried,' Would to Goo I had had as good a wife."'
The Alderman said, there could be no doubt upon the question
of her purity; and he would only order her to be paid Soli week.
The husband said that she had earned above 1101.1astSommer.by her
straw bonnet business--sbe went away, saying she should resort to
prostitution, and that the soul of her husband's mother was in hell.

HATTON-GARDEN.
Novat Arrucamou.—Yesterday a singularly visaged native of
the sister isle, was, at his own earnest entreaty, introduced to the
presence of W. L. Roans, Esinthe Sitting Magistrate, to request,
as he said, " his Wortchip's terfarence in the recovery of his
child, of which he had been robbed."
When asked to mate his grievance, be began—" Och, its no
grievance then, in the world, its downright robbery, your Wort-
chip, fm they have kilt and murdered my child."
Magistrate—ln what way can 1 assist you? Who killed your
child ?

Complainant—The mother, your Wormtip, and no
.soul eleq
but two or three more women. _ _ _ _

He was then told that It was impossible for the Magistrate to
understand him, unless he told his tale straight forward.
Contplainent-.-That's what I'll do, then ; my name's Tim Flan-
nigap, and I lodge in Saffron-hill ; but I've not lived there'this two
years. My wife does though, and so does the child that's dead,
and was buriedlast Tuesday week. Bore, eke has another child of
her own, that's not mins, and that orator had the falling sickness
(saving your Wortchip's presence), which the undutiful mother,
bad luck attend her, charmed out of her other urchin, and puts It
all en my poor cratur, which was hers as well, far we were law-
fully married at Kilkenny eight years agone. They've kilt the child
and buried it, your Wortchip ; but I don't beheve it's dead, only
spell-bound, and I know you can break the spell.
It was with considerable dililenly poor Tim was convinced that
the Magistrate had no power to break charms of that description,
and he returned, declaring that he would apply to the CLugy."

UNION-HALL.
Yesterday a Mr. Peter Pitcher, a member of the Wesleyan
Society, residing at Ebenezer Terrace, Brixton, was brought up to
this (Ace before the Sitting Magistrate, M. SWasair, Esq. charged
under the Wilful Damage Act, with maliciously breaking seven
squares of glass, in the bar window of the Ship and Blue Coat Boy,
in Walworth.

It appeared that Pitcher took a young woman into the parlour of
the above bane, and was discovered not in the most decorous
situation, upon which the landlord remonstrated with the defendant;
the young woman ran.out of the house, but Pitcher abused the
landlord, and was ejected ►y force, vowing that he would " give
him a pill." In the evening, several stones were thrown through
the windows, and Pitcher was stopped, whilst running, and shouting
" Stop thief !"
The defendant, Ina long harangue, denied solemnly that he was
guilty of the outrage; be was in the City at the time; however, a
number of persons, who distinctly saw Pitcher in the house, swore
positively to his person.
An individual named Ward, who was the first person that bad
hold of the defendant, excited much laughter during the account. of
the business. He sahl that on securing Pitcher that individual was
calling out " stop thief," as loud u ►e could bellow, and made efforts
to get away, in order, u he said, to get bold of the right man.
The defendant, devoutly looking upwards, exclaimed "Loan,
what a world we. live in, they are all wrong."

. .
Mr. Iliwasev—l do not believe that these respectable penncs can
be mistaken in your identity, therefore yen must pay Mr. Bullock
for the glass you have broken, besides giving his witnesses half-a-
crown each for their loss of time in attending to substantiate the
charge.—The Magistrate then addressing Mr. Bullock, advised
him, for the sake of his house and bla character, to prosecute the
defendant. _ _ _ _

_
_
'Piedeiendant then pulled out his pane, paid for the damage be
bad committed, and left the Mice.

Tuesday night the parish church of St. Ann, Wands-
worth, was'broken open, and robbed of the black cloth
hangings from the pulpit and communion, together with
all the carpetting and matting in the aisles and pews;
Chiswick, in the course of Thursday morning, suf-
fered an interruption equally novel and amusing, by
the, appearance in the river of an enormous Seal, which
having (as it is supposed) escaped from the deck of a
Gieenlander. for the purpose of travelling to see the
world. Immediately, on the hue and cry being given,
the whole place was in commotion, and the river,malgre
the " wintry winds," " perils of the sea," and " all that
sort of thing," was speedily co►ered with boats of every
class, and spectators of every grade, nor, to make the ar•
mament complete,were the weapons at all scarce or di-
verse. The monster of the deep was soon espied, sai!ing
down with the tide, utterly innocent of the danger which
threatened him. The attack commenced with great
energy, guns were fired, spears were cast, and stones
were thrown, but equally harmless were guns, spears,
and stones, the pursued was too many for his pursuers.
At every discharge of the artillery he bolted, and when
seen again was 200 yards a head. This was the order
of the chace as far as Barnes, when they came to a
check. The return of the tide, however, renewed the
pursuit towards London, but with the same want of
success. The subtle animal eluded all the attempts of
his enemies to take him alive or dead, and finally con-
vinced them that although in some measure out of his
element, he was more than a match for the whole parish
of Chiswick and their auxiliary forces from Putney,
Barnes, &c. and say nothing of the popping of guns,&c.

reached Canterbury, .54 miles, at four o o'clock on Thursday mem.

His next halt was at Stroud, 27 miles from honse„at ten on Thurs-

MARRIED.

On Wednesday, the 31st of January, at &wham Church, H. W.
Falange, En. of Cheltenham and Oxford, to Mrs. Ann Heath,
widow of the late Richard Heath, carpenter, Chichester, and eldest
daughter of Mr. Beal, of Boskam, near Chichester. Aftet the
ceremony the happy pair proceeded on their matrimonial exterior
in the Dolphin barouche, thrown open, drawn by four grey horses,
through Chichester to Arundel, the bells greeting them with a merry
peal on their way. A most beautiful and splendid enteetainronst
was given at Bosbam, the Lady's residence, on the joyful occasion.
A large party was invited, and some of the guests were said foliate
drank deep of the " nectarian spring." Expense was quite out t
the question. Some idea may be formed of the general character ,
the proceedings, when it is stated that report says the dresses olds,
bride and bride maid cost about 50. The happy couple, togs.
Cher with tie bride maid attended the Cathedral on Sunday
morniug. The Ladies' white dresses, and enormous white
bonnets and trimmings, formed a singular contrast to the
sombre appearance of the rest of the
_congregation. A post.
chaise, drawn by two white horses, and a post boy, dem
rated wi:k a profusion of ribbons of the same spotless colour, cons
tributed their united powers to waft them back to Benham, they
seat of sithimary bliss, where it is supposed they will pass the
hooey-moon. The Gentleman is said to he a son of Neptune, about
twenty-live years of age. We donot like to hazard an opinion of
Ladies ages. It may, in some measure, be gathered in this case,
=from the circumatanee"of the iady having buried herlate
in 1622. aged eighty-fight years and nine months ! and
from the tenor of the following asorcen legatee inscribed upon an
elegant tomb-stone ia the cathedral churchyard, by way of epitaph •
" Oh ! shade rever'd, this frail memorial take.
"Tis all, alas! thy sorrowing wife can make :
Faithful and just. and bumble, and sincere,
Mere lies a valuetrfriend—a husband dear
Composed in suffering, and in joy sedate,
Good, without noise--without pretension', great r
She who pens his praise
Best knew his worth, and honest truth obeys :

Her loss, her grid this tribute well supplies--
But Heaven's high will be dooe !—the Christian dies—
As sets the sun, more glorious to rise.
Salem grave ! to thee I trost
This precious pearl of worthy dust
Keep it safe, els ! sacred tomb.
Until a wife s►all ask foe room !!!'
