WORSHIPSTREF.T.

Jevantis Committer— Mr. White, tatnbour-worker, of Pa-
radise-row, liethnal•grcen, on Saturday, brought up nine of his
female apprentices, the eldest not more than fifteen, on a charge of
combination. It appeared that they bad no complaint to make of
their treatment, but that a pew was provided tor them to attend
Divine Worship on the Sabbath. day. This they thought a hard-
ship, urging that as they were confined the whole week, they ought
to have their own range on Sundays.
The Magistrate remonstrated with them on the impropriety of
their conduct, and they appeared compliant ; but on the nest day
they took the sulks, refined their food, and appeared so contuma-
cious, that Mr. White thought it necessary to bring them up again,
when the Magistrate found it incumbent to commit three of them
to the tread-mill; and so anxious were the others to share the fate
of theft leaders, that the officers had much difficulty to get them
into coaches, to return to their residence.

A new and spacious Police-office is to be erected in
St. Martin's-lane, under the appellation of" Bow-street
West." It will COMIII,DCO at the Outer of Chandos-
sueet, and will extend as far as Vine-street.
Saturday morning a thief contrived to enter, 'gaper-

Morris Ley, 15 yeare of age, was drowned on Sun-
day evening, while bathing in the eat:Odell-town Canal.
His body was in about half an hrur conveyed to the
York and Albany Tavern, near the spot, where every
means were taken to testote animation, but without
effect.
Dsvowroar, JULY 12.—Last night, the coast guard-
man stationed:at .rott.)Nrinkle, about six miles from
this post, seized 48 tubs of foreign spirits, from a pasty
of smugglers who were running the goods near a place
called Down Derry. One of. the smugglers was de-
tained. a prisoner more than an hour, but was rescued
by the party of smugglers, ;which consisted of more than
forty. men.— Lieut.. Stanhope, WO- Al Lord Stanhope,
formerly of the Maidstone, has been appointed to the'
command of the Helicon sloop.
A singular circumstance is occasioning much small
talk in the legal and political circles. where it is known.
The Marquis of Cleveland, when Lord Darlington, se-
veral years ago, purchased the borough ,ot Tregony for
20,0001, and having little further:acquits% as he a few
'Moths ago imagined, for the continuance of all his bo-
rough interest, agreed to sell it ; but before the purchase
was completed new events occurredi and, among others,
the surprising fact that the Title Dads of the borough
were missing. The offices of several respectable solicitors
have been ransacked without success.ShrborneMercury.

Major General DAVID STEWART (Of GOA'', wholras
just been appointed Governor of the island of St. Lis.;
cie, is an Officer of long service and high military re-
putation. He entered the army in 1792, and has been'
engaged since in-every scene wheie the enemy was to
be met—in Holland, in the West India Island., which,
were wrested from the French, in Egypt, Magda, the.
Peninsula, and Waterloo. On the plains of Maida he
distinguished himself in command of the 78th regiment,
and by his gallant conduct on several occasions he has
won various British and foreign Orders ; hut the chief
part of his service has been seen in the brave 42d High-
landers, with whom he has shared the honours and perils
of most of their achievements in the late wars. Gen.
STIWART is an author favourably known to the literary
world by his Hist try of the Highland Clans, and of the
original formation and exploits of the Highland Itegi-
ments. He is, besides, a patron at the Arts, and a man
of distinguished scientific attainments. Under these
circumstances, we cannot help thinking him well qua-
lified for the civil appointment which his Majesty bas
been advised to confer upon him.
OILANDi PROCIGSSIONS IN IRILAIID.--The Lord
Lieutenant of Leland has adopted such steps as would
operate to prevent Orange processions in the North of
Ireland on Saturday last, the 12th of July. A circular
letter was transmitted in the early part if last week to
the different fligli Sheriffs of those counties where such
processions generally take place. The circular stated,
that in consequence of a communication made to the
Irish Government, representing that breaches of the
public peace and disturbances would be likely to ensue
should such processions take place, and that in conse-
quence his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant requested
that the Sheriffs would intimate to the different magis-
trates of the county the-wish of the Government, that
in the first instance they should use their influence to
dissuade such persons as might be inclined to form
these processions from doing so; and the circular pointed
out to the magistrates that they were authorized, in
case-of riot, to call in the aid of the military to assist
the police, but at the same time to act with due for-
bearance ; and it also directed that the military or po-
lice, if called out, sto uld not be left at any time with-
out the superintendence of one magistrate at least.

The people of Co-thin .Ciiina have a very singular
fancy in regard to eggs. Mr.CSAUFWin, after describip
part of an entertainment at the house of a person of high
rank, says—" One of the Cochin Chinese dsinties served
up on this occasion ought not to he omitted: it con-
sisted of three bowls of hatched eggs. When we ex.
pressed some surprise at the appearance of this portiosk
of the repast, one of our Cochin Chinese attend-anti
observed with much naivete, that hatched eggs formed
a delicacy beyond the reach of the poor, and only
adapted tot persons of distinction. On inquiry, we, la
fact, found that they cost some thirty per cent. more in
the market than fresh ones. It seems they always form
a distinguished part of every greet entertainment; and
it is the practice, when invitations are given out, to set
the hens to hatch. The tete takes place about the tenth
or twelith day from this period—the eggs being then
::onsidered as ripe, and exactly in the state most agree-
able to the pal.ste of a Cochin Chinese epicure." •
FEMALE Docrott.—A short time tince, a diminutive,
aged, and decrepit woman, whose hie had been passed
in the service of the camp, appeared before the Tr ibis-
aal at Paris, charged with illegally practising Medicine.
and as suspected of caning the death of M. Vanguy,
and anther person, by her unscientific prescriptitms.—
Oo being called upon for her deknce, she observed,
" Gentlemen, the medicine I gave Danguy was suscep-
tible of saving him ; it has been sent to the annalists of
the Garden of Plains; but the fact is, Danittuy got
drunk—that was his affair: had be kept sober..l would
have cured him—that was mine: but he chose to dies.a,
that was his." " But," observed the President, " there
is am then case against you." - Prisoner" Bali! bah 1
Yellen's, you mean ? he died by mistake; it is not worth
talking about." Pi esident—" But you have no diploma."
Prisoner—" Diploma, is id I despise them; I conic'
not read them if I bad them; but I have studied . ha-
maxities. Minerals I know as little as I care about;
but as to vegetables, I guess. Give me a paralytic
bete, and .111 cure him at once." At this declara-
tion, many voices .from ihe crowd that had assembled
were raised, in et e,tation of the truth of hoe state-
ment; and " True! true!' " She has cured me r
.iShe has cured me ;" " She has cured my muncher,"
&es &c. wavheard on every side. Prisotter" There,
what do you say to that? Gout! Cancer ! ta broken
limb—it is all one to me. I wish. Gentlemen, you bad
them all, if it was only for the pleasure of setting you
to rights.' New ejaculations were beard in her favour
from the audience, and expressions eonfir mown y of her
statements. " There!" said the veteran. Lady, gesticu-
lating with energy, " There's for you! I have been
twelve years in the army, and-I will fight all the doc-
tors of Path with sword or with drugs, whichever they
choose." Notwithstandint all this, the unfortunate
pseudomedicinwas condemned to six months impel:
.sonmeat. She heard her sentence with courage and
calmness, and, as it ended, lifting her hand, like an old
grenadier, to her bonnet, observed, 44 Messieurs,
