Byers again appeared as an informer, enforcing the law, respecting
the painting of names, &c. on stage coaches. An information had
been filed against Mr. Garland, a coach owner, which Byers now
wished to withdraw. As this would open a door to a compromise,
or to laying a new information for the same offence, the Magistrate
insisted the case should be pursued. Na witnesses, however, ap-
peared, and the information was dismissed. An information against
Messrs. Barber and Baker, owners of Hackney stages, for not
having " London" painted on one .f their coaches, on the 49th of
September, was next called. Byers's witness swore, he did not see
the word upon the coach at eleven in the day; while a Mr. Lam-
bert made oath, that he painted " London" and " Hackney" on
each door before eight o'clock in the morning of that day. The
Magistrate believed the latter, and dismissed the case. A charge
against the same parties, for not having the Christian and Surname
on the doors, was dismissed from the same cause, a few days ago.

Mr. Heiks, a stationer, residing in Whitechapel, was charged
with assaulting a Mr. Lewis.
A friend of the complainant had let off a squib in the Whitec hape

headborough, came out, and ordered all the persons to " move on."
Mr. Lewis explained that he was waiting about his friend, and that
he thought he had a right to remain. Balks replied, he would
knock him down if he did not move on, and the complainant daring
him to do so, the former kept his word, and struck him repeatedly
afterwards. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

-----
Thursday night the Pilot coach, on its way to Leeds,
was accidentally overturned, about one mile on the other
side of Harewood Bridge. The offside wheel-horse was
killed upon the spot, and the passengers, four in num-
ber, were slightly injured. One Lady was cut in the
face with the broken glass, and so much alarmed as to
return in a chaise to Spofforth, whence she bad come.
The coachman is severely bruised in the left hand and
ancle; the guard is also severely cut in the face.
Henry Sleeper, the son of a poor washer-woman, in
Smith-street, Westminster, was yesterday met by a fel-
low, who persuaded him to go into a shop fer him, and
' he would give him something for his trouble, and would
take care of his bundle. The boy foolishly consented;
and on his return was awoke by finding the villain had
decamped with his bundle.
A press was first introduced into Constantinople in the
reign of Ammar the Third, in 1707; but in the interval of time
which has elapsed, the copies of few works of distinction and name
have been multiplied by it. This is owing, according to the opinion
of Sir W. Jousts, to the difficulty of understanding the classical
writings of the Turks, without more than a moderate knowledge
of Persian and Arabic. Manuscript volumes also are preferred to
printed works. The French were accustomed to send tr.) them
books published in Oriental types, but only a small number was
purchased. Characters formed in writing are considered as more
pleasing to the eye, and as capable of being connected and combined
in a more beautiful manner than in printing. There are, it may
be added, many hundred scribes and copyists. who would lose
their ordinary means of support if books could be circulated at a
cheap rate by the press, and this has been said to have been the
reason of the Turkish Government for discouraging printing.
