TOWN-HALT.

Janus Sheppard, the driver of a Camberwell star. wati stanmsomerl
by Daniel Catling, who was driving his master, Mr. Kelly, a patent
hay cotnpresser, at Poplar, through the Borough, towards London.
The defendant was in his rear, who, in defiance of probability, at-
tempted to pass on the off side, and in the course of it overturned
the chaise, and he was thrown out, and rendered insensible. The
Magistrate, after dwelling on the enormity of the offence, which the
defendant could not palliate, allowed him to withdraw, and make.
compensation, which he did, by paying 21. 10s. for the Doctor's bill,
and loss of time.

This gloom! which over Nature's face is spread,
That looks as Chaos were returned again,
O'er me a heavenly radiance seems to shed,
And from my mind dispelleth care and pain—
It breathes refreshen'd life thro' every vein!
Yes! now shut nut from Nature's gayer charms
Of gaudy prospects—and the busy world ;
Sweet Contemplation ! wrap me in thy arms,
And to my mind—thy gentle truths unfold !
She bids me look on life—as day's bright dream—
When airy visions lead our thoughts astray.
Where pain, and sorrow, mark each varying scene,
And trace the footstepsdof our weary way
'llll that blest hour—when all is heavenly day !

MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS.

ItAllotment Goons•ruaxrr, Sept. 12.
During last week great progress was made in giving
employment to the weavers who have so long been out
of work, and several extensive factories which had been
at work only four days a.week, were put on full time.
If a similar progress is made during this meek, the
people will be nearly all employed, and the mills nearly
all working six days a-week. Tile calico printers are
Very busy, but this with them is generally a busy sea-
son in preparing their winter patterns. On the whole,
I should pronounce business here to be now de:idedly
improving, and if the manufacturers will only be cau-
tious, and not rue too rapidly to the exertion of their
wholes productive power, the winter may, be gait over
with less of suffering than was anticipated, And the
spring trade may be much as it used to be on the ave-
rage, with this difference, that the amount of the busi•
Iness of the place will be less, on account of the-altered
value of money. I have the greater confidence that tke
trade is now on a healthy footing, from the fact, that
the improvement has been slow and gradual. Things
have been righting for the last six weeks. The people
who after the convulsion were to do business, were
ginning to do it. Cash buyers were selling for cash, and
selling extensively. It was the want of the credit cus-
tomers which kept the general market distressed : but
it only wanted such an act as the opening of the ports
to give confidence to transactions on credit. Hence the
very decided improvement which followed that act, and
which followed it so closely as almost to appear simul-
taneous, and to some actually to have preceded it. The
market was in such a state that, tempted as manufac-
turers were by low prices, they dared not to ri k an ac-
cumulation of stock. The admission of foreign grain
settled the doubts in their mind, and the effect hat been
greater than such a boon under other circumstances
would have produced.

TOWN-HALL.

Mrs. ilex Moms, of Fryer street, MeV-tiara Road, WM nun-
moiled by two sisters, dress makers, in the city.
The complainants were employed in their profeivion three days
at the defendant's lodgings, and pay-day coming round, she charged
them with robbing her of two sovereigns out of 39, and detained
ene of the complainants' shawls as an equivalent, and refused to
pay their bill.
Several witnesses living In the same house did not believe she
had the money to lose; and the charge being unsupported, the
shawl was ordered to be given up, leaving her to the Sessions, and
the young women told to apply at the Court of Requests for
their money.

HIGUWAY ROBBERY.

James Cole, John Mack, and William !Weds, the
two first 18, and the last 17 years of age, were put to
the bar, on an indictment, charging them with 'eloni.
ously assaulting, en the King's highway, ainiel Al.' dridge, and taking from his person divers monies,
his property.
The prosecutor having described the manner in which
the robbery was committed, was called on to say whe.
ther he had ever seen the prisoners brine ? or whether,
on the occasion in question, he had seen their faces? To
which he answe, ed in the negative. •
Three Officers, and a Street-keeper of the parish of Paddington,
described the three prisoners as idle, disorderly, and dissolute dia.
teeters. The Street-keeper added that they bad frequently annoyed
hint, and were constantly playing at pitch and hustle in the Edge.
ware Road.

The case for the prosecution having closed, the prisoners were
about to be called on for their defence, when
The Learned Judges conferred with the Lord Mayor for a few
minutes, and the prisoners were then called on to disprove the charge.
Cole said he had witnesses to prove that he was not present at the
transaction.

Mack said he knew nothing of the robbery.
Roberts said the prosecutor gave a different statement now In
what he had done at the Police oMce, as to the nature of the money
he bad lost.

The witnesses for Cole were then called. Two females and a
man appeared, who swore merely to character, but neither of then►
could prove an alibi.
Ann Brown was now pUt in the witness's box, who
swore positively, that she had not seen him duting the
whole of the day in question.
A man named Brown was then called, but he did not answer.
Ann Brown was then examined as to character. She
stated that Cole's sister lived as servant with her, and
she employed him to job about the hcuse. She could
not say whether he had any other emplOyment. Wit.
ness had frequently entrusted him with very large note;
to change, and always found him punctual. Other
witnesses corroborated the witness, as to the general
good conduct of the prisoner Cole.
Mr. Justice lamina/Am then ordered the friends of the other
prisoners to be called; two appeared for Roberts but none for
Mack—Roberts also received a good dormer.
Mr. Justice 14111LIDALI summed up the evidence to the Jury,
who found the prisoners Noe Guilty.

PAISLEY, SEPTILMBER 12.

We think we may now state, that the want of employment in the
country parishes of the district has diminished. The weavers in
those quarters are generally accustomed to plain webs, and a very
considerable number of them have now got work of that description.
In Paisley, and its immediate suburb., there is yet no decided
change for the better. The number of families now wholly, 4it
partially, depending on the Committee, in Paisley and the Abbey
Parish, is still upwards of 2000.

GLASGOW, SEPTEMBER 12.

As commercial affairs become brighter in the South, which they
are becoming daily, so business here assumes a firmer tone. More
people are getting employment, but without any advance of wages.
Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, a chimney sweep, about
seven years of age, stuck in a chimney in College-street. His own
endeavours, and those of his muter and the tenants of the house,
proving of no avail, masons were sent for, who, after considerable
labour, relieved him from his perilous anemiserable condition.

The demand for Cotton yesterday and to-day has been very steady,
and at steady prices. The sales, in the two days, amount together

No alteration in the price of Sugar, and a fair business has been

Oats, at our Corn Exchange to-day, advanced 21 a 3d. per bushel

evidence before the Coroner, in another part of our Paper, it seems

One of the boldest and most successful men whom

we have read of made his appearance at the bar of Bow-street

evidently to have been polygamy, for evidence was offered, and

was in treaty for a sixth when the officer apprehended him.

LA NIMITH-STREEt.

C. F. Jones was charged by his father, a most respectable Medi
with robbing him.
The unhappy father stated, that it was with extreme reluctance
he had undertaken the painful task of thus exposing his son's mis.
conduct ; but he was compelled so td do, as the only means of pre-
serving him from an ignominious death. He had tried every method
of teclaiming him, but in vain. He had, at a considerable expecte;
placed him In a respectable situation at Knightsbridge, from which
he had absconded. He then fitted him out for sca, and he had
made three voyages, at the end of each of which he deserted. Ne-
vertheless his Captain would have again taken him ; but on the eve
of the next voyage he concealed himself, and the ship sailed without
him. The Magistrate urged the unhappy father to state some spe-
cific charge. The father then stated, that yesterday morning he
came to his house, demanding breakfast,, and then rushed into the
kitchen, seized a gravy spoon, which be thrust into his trousers ;
and when his sister attempted to stop him he knocked her down;
nor was this the first time, by many, be had plundered him; but
the last fact his mother and sister could distinctly prove. This evi-
dence was given in the most pathetic manner, which the hardened
youth heard without the least emotion ; and when the Magistrate
asked him what he had to say/ he acknowledged it in the malt
unblushing wanner; and on being reminded that he was inculpating
himself, he replied, " That's right ; egad it is ; you are right, so
you are; I smoke it." He was then remanded, that his mother and
sister might have the melancholy task of appearing against

DREADFUL SUIPWRECK.

Wednesday last, a Greenland vessel named the Esk,
and bound to Whitby, came on shore, during a tre-
mendous gale, about eleven o'clock at night, nearly a
mile from the village of Redcar, and adjoining to Mar sk.
The life-boat was promptly obtained from Redcar, and
several individuals, at the imminent danger of their owa
lives, fearlessly hastened on board, ancfput off towards
the vessel, with the hopes of thus saving loase of their
fellow creatures from a watery grave; but, after many
fruitless attempts to gain the vessel, in which therwete
as frequently driven back.by the boisterous billows, and
not having sufficient hands on board to manage the
boat, they were reluctantly compelled to give up the
hope of affording the wretched crew any assistance
from that source. The ill-fated •essel kept beating
against the rocks, &c. until nearly five o'clock the next
mousing, when she parted completely in two, and the
crew, consisting of twenty-seven persons, were instantly
precipitated into the foaming deep. Twenty three of
Ithese unhappy beings soon found a watery grave The
Captain and three of the sailors were washes on shore;
every attention was paid to them, and the sailors soon
recovered, but the Captain, crs arriving within a few
yards of the shore, was so severely struck by a log of
timber which had floated from the wreck, that on being
taken up on the beach life was found extinct. The Elk
had on board fifty tuns of oil, seal skins, &c. &c. Several
of the casks containing oil have floated en shore, and tie
vessel is now a complete wreck.

REGATTA.

A handsome prize wherry and other prizes given by the Ladies
and Gentlemen of St. Bennett's, Upper Thames-street, and its
vi-
cinity, to the watermen belonging to Paul's Whirl' Stairs, were yes-
terday rowed for by six pair of sculls in three beats. The distance
to be rowed was from Blackfriars-bridge down through the South-
wark-bridge middle arch twice* and up to the prize•wherry moored
off Paul's Wharf stairs.

PEDESTRIANISM.
James Prescott, groom to Captain Parket, started on Tuesday
morning to go on font from Aylesbury to Oxford-street. the distance
being over forty miles, in five hours and a quarter. for five hundred
spvereigns. The pedestrian did the first eight miles to four minutes
within the hour, and the silteen was done seven minutes under the
two hours. The thirty-two miles were accomplished in four hours
aid five minutes. The pedestrian halted and refreshed at Uxbridge, -
and won the match easy, with three minutes to spare.

BOSTON, SEPTEMBER 12.
--.e•--

A very dreadful fire took place at Crowland about
two o'clock on Sunday afternoon last, which raged with
unabated fury until yesterday morning, when it was so
far subdued as to prevent its spreading any further. It
originated in a stack of fen fodder, on the premises of
Mr. Joshua Fletcher, of that place, taking fire, through
being put together in too wet a state, which soon com-
municated to an oat stack adjoining, and from thence
caught the neighbouring houses in South-street. Not-
withstanding the immediate attendance of the Crowland
fire engine (those from Spalding, Thotney, and Peter-
borough, were prepared with the greatest expedition), it
is lamentable to add that the scarcity of water in the
neighbourhood prevented the engines being adequately
supplied • the flames, therefore, raged with dreadful
fury, and we ate sorry to say that twelve houses, some
barns, and several stacks of corn and hay were entirely
consumed. What is still more lamentable is, that most
of the houses were occupied by poor labouring people,
whose cries were dreadful in the extreme, as by this
accident their little furniture was destroyed, as well as
the corn they had industriously gleaned during the late
harvest. The flames raged with such unbounded fury,
as to be distinctly seen a distance of ten miles so early
as seven o'clock on Sunday evening.
Susswr.—The sweet autumnal nowt of yerrerday, evening, which
was by several persons supposed to be the most glorious ever wit.
nessed here, had its attractive interest pkasingly enhanced by the
early and very imposing appearance bf the planet Venus, whilst she
smilingly commingled her enlivening ray with the golden beams of
the Fountain of Lien.

window of Mr. Horn, watchmaker, in fatinner-street, and stealing

house, saw the prisoner's hand through a pane of glass, and seized
him: He had none of the property about him, but the angel' of
his left hand was bleeding, from being cut with the glass. When
questioned by the Officer he gave two false addresses.—Remanded,

NAPLES, APRIL 26.
.-.....-

On the night of Tuesday last (24th inst.) expired the
Princess of Partanna, widow of the late King Ferdinand
of Naples. The Princess was barn at Syracuse, of a
family noble but poor, to which, however, she was the
heiress; at an early age she was married to the Prince
•of Partanna, a Sicilian, who was as poor as herself. At
the beginning of the present century, though then the
' mother of a numerous family, she was esteemed one of
the three beauties of Sicily ; the other two were the
Princess of Buteva and .the Princess Patetno. I have
frequently heard an English gentleman, who knew the
Princess of Pat tanna its Sicily, in 1807, speak of her as
being then a lovely and most amiable little woman.
It was about that time that King Ferdinand, an exile
from his Neapolitan kingdom, was subdued by her
charms—her confined circumstances were speedily im-
proved, and a connection was established between them,
the nature of which was a matter of doubt to no one.
On the death of his Queen, Caroline of Austria, (Par.
tanna's husband having died during the unlawful con-
nection) Ferdinand married, a la mode royale, the Pi in-
cess, to whom he continued-devoted until the day of
his death. On her marriage she took the title of the
Duchess of Floridia. It must be said to her honour,
that she never publicly used the great ascendancy she
had over the King but in acts of protection and mercy
for the unfortunate and offending. 'This conduct
acquired her the esteem and affection of all parties.—
During the year of her widowhood she lived in the
greatest retirement, and only about three months ago
had began to appear in society, and to entertaia parties
in her own palace, which, as she was well enabled, she
did with great hospitality and magnificence. Her age
did not exceed fifty-four years. She was busily em-
ployed in completing her charming villa on thelromero,
and in repairing and beautifying her fine large Palace
in town, which was bequeathed. her by old Ferdinand.
She has left four sons, all grown up to the age of man-
hood, and one very pretty daughter, of whom the late
King was passionately fond, about 16 years old, who
was shortly to have espoused the only son of the Prince
of Larde►ia, brother to the Anglo-siculo Count Sant
Antonio. By the will of the late King, besides hand Some
donations, the Princess enjoyed a pension from Court
of 50,000 ducats per annum; her estates in Sicily
(nearly entirely Royal gifts) rendered about 18,000
ducats per annum ; she had, moreover, a large sum in
foreign funds, and a.very rich collection of diamonds.

THAMES POLICE

t
W. Pointer was charged, under b; Hawkers'Act, with vending
carpenters' chips in the neighbourhood of Stepney Church-yard.--
• It was argued that the articles did not come under the designation
of goods and merchandise, as specified in the Act; if so, the miser-,
able venders of matches were equally liable.
Mr. Rename however conceived the defendant liable, and con-
victed him in the penalty et 101. against which the poor fellow en-
tered an appeal

Al) Inquest was held at the Westminster Hospital, on
be body of G, Mead. The deceased was observed on
Srinday to go to the Crown public-house, where he had
been about three weeks before, but having quarrelled
with the. waiter at that time, he expressed a wish Ahas,
GOD would strike hips dead, if ever he again entered the
II home. He was lipsyeand, on enterinkfell backwards
lathe middle of the road, and was carried to the above
Hospital, but: immediately expired. Verdict.—Died by
the .itsitatimof.Goo.
An Inquest was also held at the Black Horse, in Ox.
endon.street, on John Smith, formerly a master baker in
Chancery-lane. The deceased went into the above house.
and in a few minutes was discovered in the back yard
dying. Medical aid was called in, but the spark of life
was extinct. • Verdict—Natura dea:h.
There is an old woman living at Blantyre Moor,
parish of Blantyre, of rather a singular character. She
is eighty years of age—she never drank a cup of tea,
never had. a tea cup or tea pot in her house, net...r
bought a particle of tea but once three farthings worth
as a medicine for a friend, never had a dram glass in her
house, and never drank a glass of whisky in her life.
The Sloth, in its wild state, spends its life in trees,
and never leaves them but from force or accident ; ant!
what is most extratndinary, he lives not upon •the
branches but under them. He moves suspended, rests
suspended, sleeps suspended ; and offers a figurative
representation of the life of suspense passed by no small
number of mankind.

The King Of the Vultures, a bird which abounds in
the forests of South America, is very handsome, and
seems to be the only bird which claims regal honouts
from a surrounding tribe. It is said to be a i act beyond
all dispute, that when the scent of carrion has drawn
together hundreds of the common •ultures, they ill
retire from the carcase, as soon as the king makes his
appearance.

THEATRES.

DRURY-LANK.

Mr. MALI ADZ'S benefit took place on Tuesday
evening. The merit of his own perforinanee in What),
and the novelty of Mr. Youvo's fitst and only appear.
once this season, formed a double attraction, which (in
theatrical phrase) brought him a bumper. It is now
one or two seasons ago that Ksaii and Poona played
these parts—perhaps the most popular and the most
powerful delineations of character in the whole range
of the drama—with eminent success. Mr. Youtio ex-
erted himself is to the top of his bent." h was, through-
out, an admirable and most effective performance. Mr.
MACRZADV.B Othello, if not throughout a correct, was,
in many parts, a spirited and even powerful performance.
At the fall of the curtain, 41 YOUNG" and N MACRILADT,"
were vociferated by the noisy portion of the audience.
The silly call was for a considerable time solely disre-
garded; at length Mr. MACIIIADY appeared, and, on
the part of Mr. Yount; and himself, returned thanks.—
The little pleasing delusion of a teal representation,
that an exhibition at a theatre at all creates, is quite dis-
sipated by this mock assumption of a powerlm the part
of the audience to revivefy the dead.
