UNION-HALL

EZTRAOIDINAIT C,taao; or Canstar.--A man, wised rhesus
Page, was charged with extreme cruelty to a horse, the property of
Mr. Veal, a Gentleman, residing near Croydon. Oaths 24th July,
a team of Mr. Veal's hones were employed in drawing manure.-..-
The waggon to which they were attached having been heavily laden,
the horses would not draw the load; when the si:fendant and ano-
ther man (not yet in custody, who acted as driver) brat one of the
animab very unmercifully. The man not in cunody then placed a
tress of straw under the animal's belly, while the defendant ser Are
to thastraw, which blazed up with great fury, and t.urnt the pbor
animal in so frightful a manner that it was obliged to be immedi-
ately killed.
Mr. CHA3CIIII2 asked him what could have induced him to be-
have in so barbarous a manner to the horse 7

The prisoner replied, he could sot get tho horse to go on, and they
were therefore forced to light a little straw under his belly, co make
him go forward.
The Magistrate fined the prisoner £5, which he paid, and was
discharged.

Government have forwarded circulars to the several
Collectors of Excise in Ireland, requiring a return of
the number of licensed distilleries in their respective dis-
tricts. How many of them are at work P Whether it
is intended that any of the unemployed shad resume
work? And when such as mean to do so ii:tend to re-

commence operations? It is understood that these
inquiries are made with a view to put a temporary stop
to distillation from grain, partly in consequence of the
certain deficiency of all the crops except wheat, and
principally to relieve the West India interest, by en-
couraging distillation from sugar and molasses.
At the Cork Assizes, Jeremiah Sullivan, Denis Mut-
lotoney, John English, and Michael Tobin, wete indicted
for a burglary in the house of a peasant named Owen,
on the night of the 9th of July. The prisoners entered
the hare whilst Owen and his wife and child were in
bed, and rifled the pockets of the woman, in which City
found two-pence, and took some flour which was intended
for the children's breakfast. Oue of the prisoners after-
watch returned with the flour. Sullivan, Mullowney,
and English were convicted, and Tobin was acquitted.
English was recommended to mercy, but the others are
to he hanged.
The Malays are, perhaps, the greatest gamblers upon
earth ; they sell even their children to obtain the means
of pursuing this base propensity; and when a man has
nothing lett, he sells even himself to the winner. In Sr.
James's-street the same thing is done in effect, but
rather more genteelly.
