Two well-known characters appeared to become bail fora person
who was committed in the course of the week. One of them an-
swered promptly to the question of being worth £lOO, arising, He
said, front a house and farm at ..ittingbourne ; but on being asked
who was the object they came to bail, each stated at the other;
and at length it appeared that neither the name nor the crime of
the object in whose behalf they came forward, was known to either ;
of course their bail was refused, and they departed without ut-
toting another word.

ixt.scre Draximixion.—A foreigner, named Lear Radix was
brought before Mr. Cuana, in custody of Gater and Elerm, Officers
of Excise, charged, under the Revenue Laws, with having been
found aiding and assisting in conducting a private still.
In support of the charge, Gater stated, that having received private
information that illicit distillation was carrying on at a house in Cable-
street, he made application for a warrant to search the premises;
this was granted, and under its authority he proceeded, accompanie
by another Officer, to the suspected place, and in an under ground
apartment found the prisoner-engaged in Punning off a quantity of
spirits, from a still of forty gallon power. There were also some
wash and raw spirits on the .premises, which he thought corrobo-
rated the fact of there being illicit distillation carried on.
The Magistrate asked the prisoner what he bad to say in defence,
and why it was that he had resorted to such an illegal and pernicious
mode of life? He replied, that be had been formerly a scum.
boiler, but that, being deprived of all employment in the sugar-
houses, he was necessitated to adept this, to support Limulf and
family.

The worthy Magistrate regretted the necessity he was under of
inflicting the penalty; the law, however, left him no discretion, and
he must therefore convict him in the penal sum of 30/. itt default of
the payment of which, he must stand committed for six months to
the Ilbuse of Correction.

The prisoner declaring his inability to pay even as many pence,
was committed accordingly.

THE LATE MURDER ON SAFFRON-HILL.

Ambrose is a native of Hertfordshire, and was for-
merly a soldier in the West Middlesex and Hertford.
shire Militias, and, by his register, he turns out to be
65 years old, only two days before he committed the
tool deed, and which he celebrated by treating the un-
happy woman, and several others of his acquaintance,
with spirituous liquors. He is a very active ID an for his
age, thin in person, stands about five feet ten inches
high, stoops in his neck, and is very round-shouldered :
he has a remarkably thin visage, and is hollow-checked,
with rather a long nose. When he absconded, be first
went into the public-house where the Inquest on his I
victim was held, and after drinking a pint of porter, be
pulled out 10s., and, sheaving it to some persons present,
said that was all he bad in the world—that he thought
of going to his son's at Hampstead, where, he said, he
should be happy for life. He then had on a close-
bodied coat with metal buttons, drab-coloured trousers,
long-quartered shoes, and a round bat. Since Monday
it his been ascertained that Ambrose called at his son's
house, at Hampstead, but finding that be was from
home at Tottenham, he did not stop a moment, but left,
and took the road to London.

The trunk of the unhappy woman was opened by
Reed, the officer, and it would appear that Ambrose
had taken with him all she possessed, as only one cap
was found therein. He has also taken with him nearly
all his tools, as also one of the capstones, which is sup-
posed to have been the instrument of death, as Mr.
Sheppard, the surgeon, is of opinion that the injuries
'that caused death, in all probability, had been inflicted
with such a substance.

At Saragossa a person was lately arrested,-charged
with having smiled, as it was alleged, at the misfortunes
of unhappy Spain!
Accounts from Leeds, Huddersfield, Halifax, and
Wakefield, speak of a gt4dual and steady improvement
in trade at those places. The cloth and wool trades
have also experienced a favourable chapge.
Bonfires were lighted, avid other rejoicings took place
at Glasgow, on the late Order in Calnca being madr
known in that citt.

Saturday Edward Cobb, sen. Edward Cobb, jun. and Thomas Cobb,
were !woo& before the Loan Meoroa,charged with having assaulted
Nelson, the Assistant Water Bailiff, in the execution of his duty, and
cut away from his possession an unlawful net which he bad seized.
The following were the circumstances t—Nelson bad, in con.
sequence of suspicion that some foul work was going forward in
Bugsby's Hole, down the River, repaired to that favourite spot
for the unlawful fishermen, at eleven, on Friday. As soon as
he was seen by the fraternity, there was terrible confusion
amongst them. lie guessed the cause, and pushed after their
boat with all possible rapidity, and overtook it. They had just
hauled in their net, which lay at the bottom of the bolt, but
finding that Nelson would lay his claws upon it, if it remained
there a moment longer, Thomas Cobb wrapped it round his
body, with wonderful ease, and leaped into the mud, determined
to escape if possible. Nelson was not to be done out of his prey so
easily, but followed young Cobb, whose speed was slinewhat
checked in the mud. Nelson seized the net, but the other two de-
Sendants drew their knives and cut it away from his hold. In
the attempt to keep possession of the net, the resolute Water Bailiff
received a cut ; but he would not have cared a pin about it, if he
had received it in any other way.
The defendants said they would have willingly given up the net,
had not Mr. Nelson proceeded to violence, which was by no means
necessary, and they behaved as mildly as possible before the Lord
Mayor. They declared that they had not cut the net, nor used any
instrument.

His Lordship ordered that the net should be brought to the Jus-
tice Room previously to his giving judgment, and signified that he
should be influenced in a good measure by the condition in which
he should find the net. _ _

The City Solicitor charged a Blackheath coachman with having
most vexatiously delayed him on the preceding night. He had

proper to drive him here and there for nearly an hour, before be

DREADFUL FIRES.

LIS MORE, Sere. 11.
Saturday night last a melancholy and awful circumstance occurred
at Deerpark, within a mile of this town. The dwelling-house of a
poor man named Lynch, together with himself and the entire of his
family (who were then in the house), consisting of his wife, Infant
child, and servant man, with all his effects, were reduced to ashes !
DUBLIN, Seer. 14.
Yesterday morning, about five o'clock, an alarming fire broke out
in a court in the rear of Chancery-lane. The fire originated in the
workshop of a cabinet-maker named Brice, from the workmen
incautiously scattering sawdust, on the preceding evening, over a
quantity of live embers, in order to keep the fire in: This having, in
the courp of the night, communicated with some shavings and other
combustible matter lying convenient, quickly enveloped the pre-
mises and a tenement adjoining. inhabited by a watchmaker
named Kelly, and his two sons, in flames. The inmates of a house
in the front, were aroused iu time merely to preserve their lives
and a few moveables. Kelly and his sons bad also effected their
escape from the flames, when one of the sons returned into the
house to endeavour to recover some article, when the floor giving
way, he fell, overwhelmed among the burning ruins !

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

SlR—Among the ingenious methods which have
been thought of to facilitate the acquirement of the
French langualie, that of Mr. Douville has certainly
the highest claims to public notice. By his mode of
tuition, the pupil wilt not only be enabled to converse
with the same fluency and accuracy of pronunciation,
as if he had studied in Paris, but he will likewise be
qualified to write with the greatest purity and elegance ;
for such is the efficacy of his system, that while the
pupil acquires facility in speaking, he gradually attains
a thorough knowledge of the elementary principles of
the langu ge, and thus becomes perfectly acquainted
with those variations and niceties of expression which
so frequently occur in polite conversation, among the
fashionable circles in the capital of France. The
FRENCH GRAMMAR which MT. Douville has just pub•
lished on the same plan, is highly calculated for the
rapid attainment of that fascinating language. It.con-
tains exercises chiefly composed of expressions and sent
tences most used in familiar discourse, thus affording
the student, in presenting to his view the rules of syntax,
a valuable collection of useful phrases. The nature of
the French verbs is also exhibited in quite a novel and
perspicuous manner. But the remarks on pronuncia-
tion, the explanations of idioms, the models of compo-
sition for the common business of the world, and the
treatise on French poetry, are peculiarly serviceable.—
The whole, in short, is so judiciously arranged, that
those who may wish to acquire a knowledge of French,
with a view to conversation, will find this work ex
tremely useful. It is published by the Author, 6,
Coventry-street, Haymarket; and 2, Lawrence-lane.

GUILDHALL

Tkonsns Chief, the driver of one of the waggons belonging to Mr.
Horne, the coal merchant, appeared before SirJ. Panama, Bart.
yesterday, upon summons, for driving his team at a furious pace, in
Fleet-street, on Thursday irst.—Mr. Tickner, one of the Common
Councilmen of Eirringdon Without, said, between seven and eight
o'clock in the evening, be saw the defendant's horses coming along
with an empty waggon, at their utmost speed. The defendant was
endeavouring to increase, if possible, by the free use of the whip,
the dangerous speed of his horses, for the purpose, k was evident, of
overtaking and crushing against the house frosts a hackney coach
which was between the team of horses and the footway. This re-
sult the coachman avoided only by keeping his hones in a full gal-
lop ; and as the two vehicles, the one in prank of the other, turned
the corner into Bridge-street, there was a general cry of terror
among the spectators. Johnsen, the dicer, came up with the de.
Pendant in Bridge-street, and stopped the berms, but the driver did
not cease attempting so break away, until he was actually over-
powered.
The defendant, in reply, said, the hackney comb, is passing, ran
against his hones, and alarming them, fo them into a trot. He
himself was thrown down by them, over a heap of lag stones that
were piled up in the carriage way, nd when Mr. Tickner saw him
running by the side of his horses, it was to stop and not to urge
them on. He denied having used the whip.-.-Sir J. Pummel fined
the defendant Twenty Shillings.

torting money from him. The female prisoner admitted that she

The Loan MATO& ordered her to be discharged, advising her not
to molest any of the parties who bad appeared against her husband;

A young man of education. and address, named parr, was
brought before* the LORD Mayas, charged with having, by false
representations, obtained from Mr. Geroek, of Cornhill, the sum of
20.. besides eating and drinking for two days.
The case, from the evidence, appeared to be as follows :
Mr. Gilligan called upon Mr. Gerock, who is a musical instru-
ment maker, and said, ° I am the son of Mr. F.rrald, a Gentleman
in Ireland, who does a great deal of business with you. Mr. Gerock,
who had considerable pecuulary transactions with Mr. Errald, im-
mediately invited his supposed son to dinner; the invitation was
accept:7d, and the prisoner- not only dined, but drank tea and
supped with the prosecutor. The next day the prisoner was'
equally obliging, having caned at dinner-time, and stayed till
supper was over. He added another obligation to
,that which ,
his company conferred upon Air. Oernek, by borrowing. U.
from him ; he also began to pave the way for more serious
contributions, by stating, that be had been paying off the sum
of £6OO to Mru Clemetni, for his father. The suspicions of
Mr. Gerock, however, were by this time strongly excited,
for he had, in fact, been led to pay a marked attention to the man.
ner in which his guest had cleared away every thing in the shape of
food that was laid before him. An officer was procured, to whom
the prisoner acknowledged that his name was Gilligan, and that he
had no relationship to, or acquaintance with, the Gentleman whom
he had called father.

Te unfortunate prisoner declared that be was led into error by
the mere force of starvation. He was a member of the medical
profession, but be bad not eaten a bit for three days before he
called upon Mr. Gerock.
Mr. Gerock—Ay, ay, me Lor. He did eat much, vere much ;

pairing the carriage way on Fish-street-hill, lit the day time, con-
trary to the Sewers' Act, which provides, that such repairs in the
leading thoroughfares shall be made after six in the evening, and
before eight in the morning. The complaint was laid by Few, the
Mambalnian ; but Mr. Akkermau Wood states that It originated
with him.

- Mr. Deputy Saunders said, the C.entmlasioners of Sewers of the
district felt much aggrieved at the interference of the worthy Alder-
man. The law allowed titan to sanction the working by day where
she case was urgent, and they had given suck sanction in the present
Instance, because the lives of the persons passing over the pavement
were in imminent danget.
The defendant produced his written authority from Mr. Joyner
and Mr. Gya; and Alderman Wood was disposed to withdraw his
complaint, If the paviours would work through the night as well
