What with the Sewers and the Gas and Water Com-
panies, the streets of London are now scarcely ever
passable for any great distance without interruption.
At this time Oxford Street, Wigmore Street, Gower
Street, Bedford Square, and doubtless many more, are
torn up for one or all of these purposes.
RECEIPT STAMP DUTY.—At the Petty Sessions held
at Cheshunt, on Monday last, Mr. William Nunn,
Oierseer of the Poor, and Constable of Helions Bump-
stead, in Essex, appeared to answer an information ex-
hibited against him by the Solicitor of Stamps, far hav•
ing given a receipt in full of all demands upon unstamp.
ed paper. The evidence went to prfree, that at the foot
of a bill of :charges made by the parish upon one Ely
Wing, the defendant had written the words "By cash
is full of all demands." For the defendant it was con-
tended that this was not a receipi ; but upon reference
to the Act it appeared that any memo: andum which
impr Its or signifies any acknowledgment of the pay-
ment of the money, is a receipt; and the defendant was
accordingly convicted in the mitigated penalty and costs,
amounting to 81. 9s. 6d., which he immediately paid.
THE GLASGOW SPINNERS.—The mill belonging to
the Messrs. FULTONS and BUCHANAN, has teen closed
for about nine weeks past. The cause, from all we can
learn, was, that a few of the spinners, who were engaged
in a particular kind of yarn, wished an advance of
wages, otherwise they threatened to stop uork—this
the managers would not agree to, and ordered the %hole
mill to be sopped immediately. During the last week,
a number of new spinners was introduced through the
night, and the mill was set on, every precaution being
taken to prevent the old spinners from having any
communication with the new ones. Early on Friday
night, several stones were thrown at the windows in
the west-end of the mill, whereby some panes of glass
were broken. Those who were watching fired in re-
turn in the directions from whence the stones came,
and nearly shot a man in the employ of Mr. Cold% ell,
writer, while at work. On Saturday night two shots
were fired icto the counting-house of the mill, and as
Mr. Millar, messenger, was escorting a party of the
new spinners out of the village, they were met near the
end of it by a party of men, armed with guns and pis-
tols, who interrupted them, and wished to speak with
the new spinners; and on getting an opportunity of so
doing, they with oaths of the most horrid description,
attempted to bind them over from coming tack to work
in the same mill. -Early on Tuesday morning a party
of the 42d Regiment, accompanied with some of the
civil officers from Paisley, arrived in Lochwinnoch ;
and six men, supposed to be engaged in the above out-
rages, were apprehended and sent off to Paisley, where
they arrived by 10 o'clock in the morning.--Cilesgow
