Bristol the 27th of October, on her fifth voyage to New York,
O'Connell has in his last letter to the riot-payers fallen
foul of his once-dear friends the English radicals, whom he
openly assails as "doing much more harm than good." For
once the agitator speaks truth - but then his once dear friends
may at least return the compliment. There is no better tes-
timony to the cowardice and insincerity of this man than
this, that when here there is no flattery too excessive to load
us with, but no sooner is he returned to his own dunghill
than England and everything English are the objects of his
ceaseless vituperation.—Morning Herald.
A YOUNG DESPERADO.—A boy, named William Robinson,
was brought before the Mayor on Saturday, having run away
from his father, at Barton, in Lincolnshire. for the sixth time,
and taken several other boys with him. The companions of
the defendant, who is only 13 years old, stated that he pro-
posed to them to rob an attorney living at Hull, who usually
bad a great deal of money about him! to rob the windmills ! !
and, lastly, to break in and rob the Hull bank !!! The
youthful gang had followed their captain from Lincolnshire
upon the above-named desperate expedition.—Hull Paper.
MURDER.—On Tuesday, Mary Evans, a very young girl,
who had been discharged, with her infant, from Tenbury
Union Workhouse, where she had lately given birth to the
child, whilst on the road to her brother's, with whom she had
declared her intention of leaving the child, and going to ser-
vice herself, threw it into the river Teme, where the body was
afterwards picked up. At the inquiry the wretched mother,
who bad been taken into custody, acknowledged having
thrown the infant into the water, and the jury returned a
verdict of wilful murder against her. The child was a
female about a month old. The mother was committed for
trial.—Hereford Journal.
THE VlNTAGE.—According to accounts froni Bordeaux,
the vineyards are in a promising state, and it was expected
that, if the weather should but continue fine there for another
fortnight, the superior quality of the wine would in some
degree compensate for the reduced quantity of produce. The
reports from Orleans, on the other hand, show that the ga-
_ thering will cot be one-fourth of the average produce. -
The St. George Steam-packet Company's steam-ship Sirius

noon, having performed the outward voyage in eight, and the

both ways at the Sound.—Morning Herald.
WARRANT AGAINST A BENCH OF COUNTY MAGISTRATES.
—The parish officers of St. Nicholas, Worcester, applied to
the corporation magistrates for a warrant against the justices
of the peace for the county of Worcester, for refusing to pay
poor-rates for the judges' lodgings in that city. The over.
seer said, that on applying to the county treasurer, the clerk
of the peace, and one of the judges' officers, they refused to
pay the sum of £295., being, the rate assessed on a presumed
rental of £l2O a-year, alleging that the lodgings provided for
the Queen's judges were not liable to rates. The Mayor of
Worcester said it was a hard case on the parish that the
justices did not pay for the rates of the dwelling-house: it
seemed to him an equitable claim, and he did not know on
what grounds they refused payment. A warrant was granted
against the justices of the peace for the county, who were
ordered to attend before the corporation magistrates, to show
cause against the rate.— Worcester Journal.
IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN CORN.—We understand that
Messrs. Latham and Co., aeents for Lloyd's at this port, have •
orders to detain several vessels, foreign as well as British,
now on their passage to Liverpool, laden with wheat. The
names of the vessels are—from Dantzic: Christina, Ida Ma-
ria, Isabella Dick, Monarch, Guiseman ; from Hamburg—
Mary Scott, Malta, Hope, Courier, Nancy; from Elbing,—
Eclipse ; from Bremen—Hermann, Anna Maria; from Wis-
mar—Fanny, Fortuna; from Rostock—Dorette; from Stral-
sund—Cornmerctum. We presume the reason for their de-
tention is to enable the merchants to take advantage of the
present rate of duty on that description of grain, which
might be much higher before they could reach their original
port of destination.—Dover Chronicle.
HORRORS OF THE PRIZE-RING SYSTEM.—After the prize
at Corse Lawn, on Monday, the gang of thieves accompany-
ing the combatants passed over Corse-bridge, refusing to pay
the toll ; and after the fight the took possession of the Green
Dragon Inn by storm, placing one of the combatants in the
best bed in the house. The thieves then went into every room
in the house, turned out every cupboard, box, and drawer,
which they broke open without ceremony, and openly helped
