• TRICKS Of CA ft' antvsas.,—Five7ruffianly-looking fellows,
whose avocation of car driving is a nui-ance to the town, were
brought before the magistrates, charged by a lady of the name
of LAY'2,,lles, with refusing a fare. It appeared from the-evi-
dence of the lady, that on the 2ith ult. she sent her servant
from the Baths on the Pier to the coach stand, where the de.;
Pendants, Peter Jones, George Johnson, John Hall, Charles
Howard, and James Jones, were plying for hire. The servant
directed James Jones, in the first instance, to drive to the
Baths, and take Mrs. Lascelles to Norton-street, at the same
time asking the fare, which he said was two shillings. The
servant said the proper fire was only Is. 61., when the de-
fendant stated that he was engaged. She then went to the
next coach, the driver of which also said he was engaged, and
a signal passing from driver to driver, they were all in the
same story. Mrs. Lasceltes then went to the stand, and asked
each driver whether he refused the fire, and on receiving the
same answer, she took the number.of the car. Martindale, the
inspector of hackney coaches, brought witnesses to prove that
the defendants were not engaged, and said that the legal fate
was Duly Is. GI Under these circumstances the magistrates
fixed the defendants in ss. and costs. Two others, who did not
appear to the summonses, were fined 10s. and costs.
ItoeuErty AT WALTON.—A woman, named Sarah Pendle-
ton, was charged with stealing a quantity of knives and forks,
the property of Mr. James Hadley, of the Adelphi Hotel. It
appeared from-the evidence of James Isherwood, a labourer
employed to take care of Me., Ratiley's cottage, at Walton
Breck, that on Wednesday, the 24th June, he went to bed at
the cottage a little before eleven o'clock, leaving all secure.
About four o'clock on the following morning, on coming down
stairs, he found several drawers open in the kitchen. He ex-
amined the Louse, and missed a carving knife and fork, a
dozen knives and forks with white hafts, a pair of spectacles
and case, uud other property. On looking through the house,
witness observed that a pane of glass had been cut entirely out
of the parlour window, and a small padlock, which had fastened
the window, appeared to have been forced away. The knives
had been taken from the sideboard in the parlour. The knives
in the custody of Riley, the police officer, are the same which
were stolen.

Richard Roscow, assistant to a pawnbroker in Richmond-
terrace, stated that he received a hand bill of the robbery, de-
scribing the property stolen, and on the 27th June the pri-
Souer came and offered the knives and forks produced for
pledge or for sale. Witness asked her to whom they belonged,
and she said to a person of the name of Wilson, in Fox-street.
A constable came into the shop at the time, and she was taken
into custody.

Mr. Radley stated that the knives and forks he had no doubt
were his; but there was no mark upon them. The spectacle
ca,ehe could swear to. •

Rile.y,.theofficer, said that the prisoner told him that'slle was
pledging the knives and forks for two boys who lived in Ford-
street.--1-Committed to the sessions.
STEALING, LEAri.—A man, named Thos. Moore, was placed
at the bar, chargekwith stealing a quantity of lead from the
roof of the premisesof Mr. Houghton, soap-boiler, of MVieear-
street. It appeared from the evidence of John Little..a.porter
employed about the premises, that on the 29ta June lad, about
five in the afternoon, he was informed that two men were on
the roof of the soapery. As the utensils at the works were
about being removed fur sale, he suspected Aolliething, wrong,
and, on going on the roof, he observed the prisoner and an-
other man carrying a bag. fie ran up to them. and seized. the
prisoner with the bag in his' possession—the other made his
escape. On examining the bag, it contained 73 lb of lead,
which had been removed from the roof: The prisoner, who
had been employed about the premises as a day porter, was
committed to the sessions fur trial.
YEsTERDAT.—(Before the MA YOR and Sir Tilos. BRA NckEn.)
Pit:km(3 PO6CRTS.--- An incorrigible young pickpocket, well
known to the police 'by the name of John Williams, was com-
mitted for three months for abstracting a gentleman's pocket
handkerchief at the theatre, on the previous night.
IRISH BROGARS.—A number of Irish men audwomen„of the
lowest class, who have recently been brought to this country at
a cheap rate by the steam-packets, were brought up, sor,.e for
begging and others for drdnken and disorderly conduct in the
streets. In each case the mayor desired the constibles to take
them to the parish office, in order that they might be sent back
to their own dear country. This appeared to the culprits a
.much greater punishment than if they had been sentenced to
three months at the tread-mill.

CHARGE OF Asssimz.i--Emmanuel Wolfe, a jew vender of
cold rings, brooches, ladies' combs, and other articles of finery
and fancy, appeared to prefer a charge of assault and .battery
against a Mrs. nun, the wife of Larry Finn, an Irish labourer,
who, it appeared, had been a customer to Moshe: fur gems, for
which Larry had refused to pay.
Dish here voman, pleash•yer, honour, hash a hushhand what
owsh the monish, and ash he wothd not pay, I put him in the
court of requests, and takes out de execution, and goes with dis
here bailiff, (slapping a man, named Pigot, on the shoulder,)
to take de prisoner (dat ish him what should be my prisoner)
into custony; but wizen we got to ish house, the rife here, Mrs.
Finn, said he vash not at home. I cash not to be doue: that
vay, because I thought he vash at home; but as soon as
began de surch, dish Mrs, Finn did begin to scratch my face
and tear inv coat. The complainant here exhibited a long red
scratch on 'his face, and a dilapidated ragged coat, which, he
said, were the handy work of his customer, Mrs. Finn. To
prove the case, he then called Pigot, the court of requests
officer, who staled that he went to the house of the defendant
with an execution, at the suit of the complainant. Com-
plainant went in with him for the purpose of pointing out Finn,
when the defendant said that he was not within. Complainant
insisted thakhe was, laid hold of the defendant by the shoulders,
and attempted to make his way up stairs.
Complainant.—Me lay hold of her by the shoulder? Dat ish
not true.

Magistrate.--Your own witness says that you were the first to
commence the assault.

Complainant.-oh, no; I could not do it. Look at my coat.
Defendaut.—He struck me first, your worships, the w wags.
bone.

Complainant.—Ale shtrike? Where is your marks, madame?
The defendant said that she could show her marks if the
magistrates had any inclination to see them. The magistrates,
however, having none, and considering that one party was
equally as bad as the ether, dismissed the case, to the great
disappointment of the jew, who said it was a hard case to lose
his moni3k and his coat, and get nothing in return but scratches
and kicks.

Mr. Parlour, the superintendent of police. said that the com-
plainant was one of those jews who induced pOor men's wives
to purchase trinkets on credit for treble their value, and then
put their husbands into the court of revests for the amount.
ROBBRBY BY A SHOPMAN.—John Crighton, a shorn-nun in
the employment of Mr. Bamford, linen diaper, of Dale-street,
was charged with stealing property from his master under the
following circumstances:—lt appeared from the evidence that
a few days ago some silk handkerchiefs having been missed
front the complainant's shop, the prisoner was suspected, in
consequence of his fellow-shoprnan seeing an unhemined silk
handkerchief under his pillow, in bed. Phis was told to Mr.
Bamford, who, having missed other articles, immediately' sent
for a police officer, who took the prisoner into custody, and
searched his box.' In the box was found a handkerchief cut
flora apiece that had not been offered fur sale, Which the pri-
soner- said 'he'had had in his possession for two yeara.

Yr Haul, (The Sun,) a Welsh Magazine. London:
H. Hughes, St. Martin's le-Grand. Llandovery : W.
Rees.

This is a new monthly publication, printed in the
Welsh language. Its objects will be collected from the
following extract, taken from its English prospectus:—
"No patriotic Welshman can contemplate, without the
deepest regret. the pernicious tendency of the political doc-
trines almost exclusively disseminated amongst his country-
men, by means of the periodical publications circulated in their
language—doctrines which ultimately threaten the subversion
of all subordination and rational government, and the substi-
tution of anarchy, with all its concomitant miseries. The
venom of these doctrines is also rendered more powerful and
deadly by the efforts of artful and restless demagogues, who,
with an alarming activity, scatter the seeds of disaffection
among the lower classes, and prepare their minds for the most
desperate acts of overt - rebellion. Establishments that are
venerable and sacred are vilified and held up to public con-
tempt; the long-established and hitherto undisputed preroga-
tives of the crown are questioned, or attempted to be abused,
the throne sought to be divested of its authority, and religion
denied its claims upon our veneration and support; the ties of
society are doomed to destruction, and the comforts of peace
and order are in danger of being annihilated, and buried under
the ruins of a disastrous revolution. These must inevitably be
the effects of the wild theories and baneful practices of mad-
dened democrats, if permitted to complete an undisturbed
career; therefore it becomes the duty of every loyal and pa-
triotie individual to exert his utmost 'energy to arrest the pro-
gress of this devastating flood, which menaces the utter over-
throw of our venerable national institutions, and aims at the
root of monarchy, and the admirable constitution of the British
realm. To obviate and avert such a tragic consummation,
which the stupendous powers of the press have been so exten-
sively and sedulously exerted to accelerate the publisher has
determined upon issuing a new Welsh periatical, wherein it is
proposed to advocate the doctrines and practice of scriptural
religion, without a bigoted adherence to party, or an exclusive
endeavour to further the ends of any particular faction. It is
intended to inculcate the avowed maxims of Christianity, and
to enforce the performance of duties that are enjoined,
rather than to be the scene of polemical discussions, and the
disseminator of speculative essays on abstruse subjects in theo-
logy. In the political department, care will be taken to fur-
nish the misguided populace with just end proper views of the
nature and peculiarities of our glorious constitution, and the
purposes and excellencies of our,vmemble.institittions in church
and state."

INCIDENT AT BRUGES.—By WoansworTn.

In Bruges town, in many a street
Whence busy life hath fled,
Where, without hurry. noiseless feet
The grass•grown pavement tread,
Theie heard we, halting in the shade
Flung from a convent tower,
A harptbat tuneful prelude made
To a voice of thrilling power.
The measure, simple truth to tell,
Was fit for seine gay throng,
Though from the same grim turret fell
The sbaduw and the song.
When silent were both voice and chords,
The strain seemed doubly dear,
Yet sad as sweet, for English words
Had fallen upon the ear.
. It was a breezy hour at eve,
And pinnacle and spilt"
Quivered and seemed almost to heave,
Clothed with innocuous fire;
But, where we stood, the setting sun
Showed little of his state,
And if the glory reached the nun,
'Twas through the iron grate.
Not always is the heart unwise,
Nor pity idly borne,
If even a passing stranger sighs
For them who do not mourn.
Sad is thy doom, self-solaeed dove !
Captive, whoe'er thou be,
Oh! what is beauty, what is love,
And opening life to thee!
•
Such feeling pressed upon my soul,
A feeling sanctified
By one soft trickling tear that stole
From the maiden at my side.
Less tribute could she pay than flak
Borne pity-o'er the sea,
Fresh from the beauty and.the bliss
Of English Illicit).
