BOW-STREET:CIIIAROZ or Fonoste.—Tester day
* young man of respectable connexion underwent an
examination before R. Birsie, Esq. the sitting ma-
gistrate, charged with uttering a forged Bill of Ex-
change to Phi lipputchi nson, of the Percy Coffee-house,
Ratbbone-place, gentleman, who stated that the pri-
soner with whom he is slightly acquainted, applied to
him on Wednesday last, and produced a bill of ex-
change for 181. 12s. 4d., drawn by a Mrs. Rosamond
Barber upon Messrs. Coutts and Co., payable 2 months
after date, which he solicited Mr. Hutchinson to give
him cash for, as he said he wanted money very mach,
to answer his present exigencies, which were extremely
pressing. Mr. Hutchinson, suspecting the bill to he
a a forgery, gave the prisoner a trifle, and directed
him to call again, alleging in excuse for not then com-
plying with the prisoner's request that he had not
sufficient cash about him. To this the prisoner readily
agreed, and in the lapse of time between the prisoner
again making his appearance, Mr. Hutchins:its
ascertained that the hill was forged, and had pro-
cured Ruthven, one of the principal officers of this
office, to he in waiting, and he apprehended the
prisoner directly he came.
Prisoner denied ever presenting the bill, or receiv-
ing any money from Mr. Huteleinson.--tie was re-
manded.
Tilt U L AMONG TOE laIWTIERS..--A member of
the legal profession appearedas the complainant against
another learned gentleman fora very out rageous assaul t.
The complainant stated that he and the defendant
were members of the Literary Law Society; and at a
meeting of the Society on Wednesday evening, com-
plainant had occasion, in the course of his address, to
advance some facts in illustration of his argument, and
while doing so the defeedant suddenly jumped upend
called bins a " liar!" Complainant took no farther No-
tice of this epishet than observing, that he estissteieed
it quite impossible that any thing which came from
the mouth of such a person could be in the slightest
degree injurious to the character of any gentleman,
and he should therefore decline taking the steps which
otherwise he must have done. The matter, as he
imagined, dropped here; but as he was going Witte
at a late hour the defendant came suddenly upon hint
with a large stick, and beat him in the most unmerci-
ful manner; he was sore from head to foot, and Is.'s
severely bruised in various parts.
Mr. Ilteeta said, he thongs the language of the
complainant had been tolerably contemptuous, and such
as a is an of spirit could not easily brook, bat it was
not sufficient to justify so violent an as anit.
The defendant justified his giving the other " a
good thrashing," on the ground of the contemptuous
scanner in which he had spoken of him. He was or-
dered to find bail.

Another person, also " learned in the law," was
nest charged by two others of the profession with an
maul!.

The complainants were walking in the street with a
courtesan, and the defendant chose to claim acquaint-
ance with her, upon which some nords ensued ; one of
the former called Mr. W. a puppy, and he returned the
compliment by knocking him down.
The accused in his defence said, " I was walking
In the Strand, and with that I met there gentlemen
and a lady ; and with that she spoke to me, and with
that I spoke again, as I recollected her; and so seifh
Mat the complainants slid, This is our woman!'
• No,' says I, she's my woman" and with that he
called me a puppy, and with Mat I knocked him
down."

Mr. Blame said, he had hard that two gentlemen of
the silk gown bad had a fracas the day before, and it
seemed to be infection.. He advised these parties to
settle the matter amicably.
HA TTON•GA SHAMRDIEN.— ATTO3 tir BT.—Yesterday
a man was ►rought •p for final examination, charged
with fraudulently obtaining money from two persons
under the pretence of being an Attorney at Law.
A Uentleman from the Metropolitan Law Society
attended for the Prosecution.—The prissier was com-
mitted.

MARLBOROUGH-BTR ILET.—CRUILL arear.—Yester-
day Joseph Carsrick (the owner of a bear and bad-
ger), together with about two doyen ether persons,
were brought up handcuffed, in the custody of a strong
body of officers, chargel under the Vagrant Act as
rogues and vagabonds, for being concerned in bear
and badger baits of a very savage nature. In this
group were country 'squires, noblemen's valets, foot-
men, hair-dressers, butchers, cheese-mongers,: publi-
cans, apprentices of every denominaton, tailors, shoe-
makers, chimney-sweepers, &c.
The information originated from a soldier, whose
apartments are exactly adjoining that in which poor
Brain suffered confinement. [: he particulars were
given some days since in TUB STATBSMA N.] The pri-
soner Carsrick confessed that the bear, Ike. was his
property, and that the other prisoners were merely
spectators of the affair. The whole of them, with the
exception of Carsrick, were severely admonished by
the Mazistrate, who informed them, that however re-
spectable some of thaws were, that they all rendered
themselves liable to be sent to prison under the Va-
grant Act; bat on their promising net to go to stmeh
places again, they were discharged epos payl ig Is. lie

up again at two o'clock, to be dealt with as the Magis-

Mainwariog arrived at two o'clock; the prisoner was
brought in, and two publicans attended to offer them-
selves as bail: one of them was, it was stated, seen
in the room pouring out liquor for the anew
Wage. The Magistrate spoke to him in very se-
•ere terms on the impropriety of his conduct, and said
that he should feel it his duty to represent his house,
and all publicans who sanctioned such proceedings, to
the licensing Magistrates. As to the prisoner, he
came immediately under the Vagrant Aet, which re-
cognised bearwards as " Rogues aid Vagabonds."
subject, on being brought before a Magistrate, to be
committed until the Sessions for trial; and in the
event of the case being proved, to the satisfaction of
the Court, to be sentenced to six months' imprison-
ment in the House of Correction, there to be kept to
bard labour, and liable to be whipped. The prisoner
asserted his ignorance that bear-beating was a crime.
—He had sold the bear, and being a man with a isrgle
family, he trusted the Magistrate would be lenient
towards him.

Mr. Mairmaaixo, in consideration of bh family,
felt inclined to be indulgent towarls him, and there-
fore ordered him to find bail for his appearance at the
next Sessions. This he wished to impress upon the
prisoner's mind, as being extremely indulgent, as the
Act of Parliament invested ►im with the power of
committing him to prison until the Sessions com-
menced.—The prisoner gave bail.

When the overseers were last week taking the popula
Lion of the parish of North Hykehans, near Lincoln,
they entered a house occupied by two people named
Burrell., whose united ages amounted to 176 years, the
man being 84, and the woman' 2. The latter sat spin-
Ding flax, and being asked how she could see what she i
was doing, declared that her eye-sight was so good that
she could see Caythorpe church steeple out of her own
door, a distance of 14 miles ; and she actually pointed
it out.

A field of wheat in the neighbourhood of Blantyre,
belonging to Air. Monteath, is now in fell ear Various

Fields PRRACHING —On Sunday evening, as Mr. Miles
Strickland, a local preacher in the Wesleyan connection,
was addressing an attentive auditory in the highway
near Tong, Yorkshire, he was interrupted by a magis-
trate, who required him to desist. The preacher remon-
strated against this interference, and requested to be al-
lowed five minutes to finish his address. This the magi-
strate refused to permit, and said he would not allow
him to speak any longer. Unwilling to resist the man-
dates of authority the preacher abruptly closed his dis.
course, and the congregation reluctantly dispersed.
A Conn Martial was held on board his Majesty's
ship Queen Charlotte, at Portsmouth, on Saturday and
Monday last, fur the trial of Lieut. Thomas Hastings,
late of his Majesty's ship Icarus, on a charge of
having made use of unbecoming language in an ad-
dress to the crew of the learns jig December 1817,
when off Buenos Ayres, psofeered against him by Mr.
Charles Cleveland, late master of that sloop, when the
Court was of opinion that the charge was not proved,
and Lieutenant Hastings was fully acquitted; and the
Court was also of opinion, that the charge wa‘ un-
founded, malicious and vexatious. After the acquittal
had been read, the President, the Hon. Sir Charles
Paget, K.C.U., in returning to Lieutenant Hastings
his sword, addressed him to the following effect :
" Lieutenant Hastings—l have the most sincere plea-
sure in returning you your sword, and I am sure I
speak the unanimous sentiments of every Member of
this Court, that as you have formerly worn it, so you
will continue to wear it with increasing honour to
yourself and credit to the service."
A Court Martial was held on board his Majesty's
ship Queen Charlotte, at Portsmouth, last week, for
the trial of Mr. Charles Cleveland, late Master of his
Majesty's ship Icarus, on charges of drunkenness, dis-
obedience of orders, contempt, and disrespect to his
superior officers, preferred against him by Lietenant
Hastings, late of that sloop. The Court was of opi-
nion, that the charges were in part proved ; but, in
consideration of the length of time which had elapsed
since the offences charged had been committed, sad of
what he had already suffered, the Court sentenced Mr.
Cleveland only to he severely reprimanded.

DREADFUL CALAMITT.—DURLIN, JUNK 29.—1 t is our
painful task to state, that about one o'clock yesterday, a
back house, attached to the house, No. 136, 'f ownsend-
street fell in suddenly, and buried beneath its ruins se-
veral of the unfortunate inmates. Every necessary ex-
ertion was promptly used to extricate them. One wo-
man, aged 105, was taken out quite dead—her sister, 98
years old, who occupied the tune apartment, was taken
out dreadfully injured, and conveyed to Mercer's Hospi-
tal, where we understand she died in the course of the
evening. Ten others, who were also taken from under
the rubbish, were conveyed to the same hospital, all of
whom were severely, and many of them dangerously
hurt. The house was occupied by persons of the poor-
est and most wretched description, amounting, as we are
informed, to not less than between 40 and 50,
We have been favoured with the following list of the
names and ages of the unfortunate sufferers, and of the
nature of their respective accidents:—
Elizabeth 51‘Auley, aged 50, severe wound of the leg
and a broken arm ; Elizabeth Fitzgerald, aged 30, in-
juttd in the back; Mary Hoey, aged 30, fractured rib;
Rose 51431anns, aged 65, fractured shoulder and blade
bone, and injury of the lungs; Ann Save, aged 50, in-
jury of lungs and broken ribs; Margaret Connor, aged
28, injury of the spine; Susanna Lynch, aged 10, back
