EXI I't.r4Toßr MMOJ/.

Mr. Love, our of the Commissioners of Police, was
in the streets when th7re was an unfortunate riot
nith some Of the soldiers of the 13th. Seeing an
other? of that reziment snrrounded by a crowd, he
was equally afraid of the violence of the enraged
Populace ON the one hand, and of the °direr, in his
unavoidable state of • ation front the abuse which
he was encountering, should he get room to art ; and
accordingly he called out to the crow•l not to hurt the
otheer, hut to take his swsird from him.

I►m. Shirley heard Mr. Love call out three sere al
simes to tAke the sword from the offi:er.

Mr. Buchanan, painter, has known Mr. Scott these
!ft years. He is • peaceable decent man, and most
unlikely to b.' engaged in any kind of riot. When
the country were lately thvatened with intestine com-
m.►tiun, Mr. Scott joined the Armed Association em-
bodied under the Magistrates fur the preservation of
the public peace.
Thomas Easton, painter, is partner in trade with
Yr. Scott, and has known him Arse twenty years.
He is a good-natured and very peaceable man. llecol-
*ets the riot ; they were in the shop till eight o'clock
on that evening ; when they rune out they saw a
rr.rxil in the Trongate, but did not see his partner
engaged in the riot.
Tl►e Anvocata Dem-recharged for the Crown, and
Mr. Jr:r►asy, on the part of the prisoner, insisted that
his conduct was not only defensible but inerik ;on.—
he hail acted with the utmost intrepidity, under whit
he considered authority, in maintaining the pease of
the town.

Lord HER swen, in his charge, commented severely
upon the arrogance of any indiritlaal who should at-
tempt to wrest from an officer that sword which he
held under a commission from his Majesty, and which
he was using in the execution of his duty. It was a
crime almost as high as any know in the law.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, in so far as
the prisoner did forcibly and ♦iolently lay hold of En-
silen Tinling's sword, ■nd attempt to break it, but
fr the good character of the panael, recommended
him to the merc♦ of the Court.
The LORD JI:STICI CLasts, on passing sentence, oh-
served, that no Magistrate, or any other person, had a
right to deprive an officer of his artns, and that the
violent seizure, by the prisoner, of Ensign Tinling's
sword, was the cause of his receiving so many blows
from behind, as it was out of his power to defend
himself.

lie was sentenced to three months' imprisonment,
and afterwards to find security of GOI. to keep the peace
for three years thereafter..

Mr. Williams, of St. Martin's-lane, who volunteered
to vouch for the appearance at Bow-street of Franklin,
alias Fletcher, ante Forbes, is, we understand betton-
■aaafacturer to the (lauds.
We !e.irn that an Address from the Ladies of the
towns of Newport and Carleon, Monmouthshire, and
their nrighlmotrliowl is in course of signature, and that
in ■ very short space of time it has received upwards
of 51W in the former town alone.

ANOTHER INSTANCE OT THR TICILAN I AND VTILITT
or oLu uossm—On Monday morning last, between
the hours of one and two in the morning, the inhabi-
tants of Ehnry-square, Chelsea, were disturbed from
their repose. and the whole neighbourhood thrown
into a state of the gr:at at ,onfnsioa, by the alarming
cry of tire. Nu town, ear.trised by an enemy, could
have created a greater • agree of consternation, scarce
a bed remained ocrui ed. numbers of women and
children were seen in state of nudity anxiously seek-
ing a place of safety to d po.it the small portion of
property which they had snatched up in their night.
Two engines shortly arrivrA, but the active exertions
of afire old tru.ncie.had rendered their playing mane-
: cesalry.
Tai, alarming fire hail commenced and ended in the
nocturnal residence of a trustytguardian of the night,
I called a watch box, without other injury than severe-
ly e•orching its drowsy but unfortunate occupier. No
satisfactory account can he obtained of the cans,. But
it is strongly suspected to have originated in the de-
signs of a party of radicals, tabs foiled in their in-
! tention of fftrug the city of Landoll, and murdering
all its inhabitants,
had made this diabolical attempt
, on :he suburbs.

A few nights ago, a daring attempt to break ont of
Worcester tiaol was made by some of the felons, wks,
no doubt, would have succeeded, but for the vigilance
of Alfred Pulpit, one of the turnkeys, who, beans'
some noise about twelve o'clock at night, got up, and
14W a man's hand projecting through the wall. lie
called up three more of the turnkeys, and apprised
Mr. Lavender, the tiovernor; they found that two of
the felons, under transpo:tation fur seven years hat
actually broken a hole through the wall sufficiently
wide to admit a man, and in less than 6ve minutes
they would have escaped. They instantly chaimil
them in their cell, and examined the prison all over,
but found all the rest of the prisoners safe.

EXTRAORDINARY DRPRIDATInNS.—A discovery has
been made within the last few days in the City, which is
likely to prove of the most serious consequence to the
Corporation, and which was brought to light in the fol-
lowing singular manner:—.l gentleman in the profes-
sion of the law happening to go personally to Liscbeese-
monger's for some article, was surprised to sees number
of papers scattered on the counter, which, or 'amusing,
be discovered to be opinions of the Judges and great
Law Officers on certain City qnestions; alma amber
of deeds and bonds, executed between the Corporation
and their tenants. After representing to the shop-keeper
the great value of those papers, he begged to know
where he got them; to which the man answered that he
was in the habit of purchasing such, for waste paper,
from an old woman, whom his predecessor in the burr-
Ness had represented to him as ea old eadonar. The
Gentleman then informed him, that he was iiiiimately
acquainted with Mr. Newman, the City Solicitor; that
he should make it his business to wait on lam iutineili.
ately, and to be careful nut to destroy any more of the
papers, bet to collect together all he bad of them. This
discovery, as might hays been expected, led to an imme-
diate investigation, and suspicion fell on the laundress
at Guildhall, who was accordingly conveyed before the
Alderman, and privately examined, when the cheese-
monger proved that she was the same person from whom
he had purchased the papers, and she sold him to the
amount of 7s. per week, all of which she stole from Mr.
Newman's office. Since her first examination another
shop has been discovered, where she sold an equal span-
tity each week.—The documents tiros destroyed and
such consequence as to render the loss irreparable.
