POLICE.

Mums HALL—Wm-clayMorning, Cnllingbnnrn,
the officer, having received information that a woman
had been shot at the Prince Regent public house,
Nelson-street, he immediately went there, and found
that a man named Saien.2l ball, svh., hitherto had
borne a most respectable character as a tradesman,
was at the house. detained by the people present, he
having discharged a pistol loaded with ball at his
wife, anti the ball having entered her head. The un-
fortunate woman bad already been conveyed to Guy's
Hospital, in a very dangerous state. Collingbourn
took Hall mm custody, and on searching him found
a pistol, powder, and ball in his pocket, and two let-
ters, one signed " Anonymous," and informinghim
that his wilt was false to him, and naming the per-
son with whom she was intimate. Cotlingbourn
took him before Mr. CIIAMBER% when, on being
questioned, he confessed he discharged the pistol at
loos wife, .inn that it was loaded with a ball similar to
that found in his pocket. He had been married to
this unfortunate woman thirteen years, and till lately
had lived with her in the happiest manner. About
a fortnight ago, however, she left him to live with
another man, and having undetwod that she went
re.golarly every morning to the Prince Regent public
house, *boot eleven o'clotck, he went there to wait
for her, and on her entering the house discharged the
pistol at her. He was now indifferent to his fate ;
he could not live withrwt her, and cared not what
became of himself.—Yesterday morning Mr. CHAU-
pens went down to the Hospital to take the unfortu-
nate woman's deposition, but the surgeons not consi-
, deritg her as in any inuninent danger, and recom-
mending that the examination should be deferred,
that coarse was adopted. The prisoner was, in the
mean time, committed for re-examination.
MARuianouoit-STREeT.—Yesterday James Johatea
and William Tyrrtl, journeymen carpenters, were
charged before R. BAKER, Esq. with unlawfully con-
spiring together,.and preventing another journeyman
from working. It appeared, that the master carpen-
ters, in consequence of the reduction in the neces.
sat ies of life, had resolved on reducing the wages of
the journeymen from one to two shillings per week.
The journeymen, in consequence, struck, and have
meetings to this moment, in different parts of the
metropolis, and have gone so far as to prevent others
working, who were inclined to do to. The com-
plainant in this case was met by the two defendants
going to his work, and prevented. For several mor-
nings past Burlington house has Keen beset by parts
of these Committees, who have endeavoured to' pre-
vent the carpenters therein employed proceeding ;
but on the appearance of officers from this Office,
they dispersed. The two defendants were committed
to the HouseofCorrection, to hardlabour, for a month.
QUILEN•BQUARL—Jesus Davit, a poor man, was
fined 410 for hawking sand about the streets without
a license ; not being able to pay the fine, he was
committed to prison.

Saturday evening there was another discharge of
workman in Portsmouth Yard, making in the whole

two hundred more are ordered to be discharged in a
few days.
Accintirrs.—A child, four yaws of ago. whose parent, live
near Ashby-square, 'tonere Town, and who was in the habit,
when thirsty-, of drinking cold tea water out of the tea-pot, hap-
pened yesterday morning, after breakfan, to go to the cupboard
for that purpose, when unfortunately taking a draught out of the
pot just after it had been filled with boiling weber, it was melded
so dreadfully, that it died in peat agony in about an hour after.
Monday se'nnight, as Captain James Watson Harm, of big
Majesty's Royal Navy, with his youngest brother and sister (two
very fine children office and tie years et age) wassailing in *boat
on the large mill-pond, at the powder• works, near the dwelling.
house of their father, at battle, in Sussex, a strong gust of wind
upset the boat in a great depth of water, when the Captain, who
was an expert swimmer, succeeded in getting both his titan comp
panions irto his anns, with whom be struggled for some time, as
if detain:fled to save or perish with them ; and, akhough within
twenty yards of the pond bay, and in the sight of nutty of the
workmen at the mills, at last sunk, with the childrea in his arms,
never to rise again ! It was upwards of three quartets of an hour
bens their bodies could be recovered, when every exertion and
skill that could be used were applied in Vain to reanimate them—
the vital spark bad led, to the poignant and inconsolable grief of
their parents, relatives, and friends. Captain Harvey had lately,
eery deservedly and fortunately, obtained kls last promotion,
though at the age only of 93 years. He Was, indeed. an osna-
moot to his profession. All who knew him can testify kis rare
endowments both of heart and mind. Had he even left one of the
child= to perish, be might lino Erred kinwelf and tin other.

Saturday last, at Old Brantford, a poor woman
was safely delivered of three children, two joys and
a girl. What adds a hide to the singularity of the
occurrence is, they are all illegitimate, and the parish
have compounded with th, it father for twenty pounds,
on the presumption of a single birth.
