'l' INDUSTRIOUS AND CLEVER MICE."
TO Till EDITOR OF TUC MUMSUIGU stag- •
Etna—Halting seen a paragraph in your paper, Some time
ago, stating; that a gentleman in Kirkaldy bad trained two
mice. and invented machinery for eneblieg them to spin
Cotton yarn, making sd. per day profit. 1 take the liberty
of infermieg you, that a Mr. Hatton' of this town, has had
two mice constantly employed in the making of sewing
thread for upwards of twelve months ; and that the curious
may be entertained with a fair statement of facts, 1 hope
yen will give a place to the following description, which
is by no means etagperated ; as, having often seen his
mouse thread-mills, 1 thoroughly understand the amusing
operation :—The mouse thread mill is so constructed, that
the common house mouse is enabled to make atone cent to
society for past offences, by twisting, twining, cod reeling,
from 100 to 120 threads per day (Sunday not excepted), of
the same length and quality with the enclosed hank, which
1 send as a specimen of their work, for the inspection of
the carious, To complete this task, the little pedestrian
bas to run 101 miles. This joureey it performs with ease
every day. An ordinary mouse weighs only half an ounce.
A balf-penny's worth of oat-meal, at 15.1. per peck, serves
one of these trade-wheel culprits for the long period of five
weeks. ln.that time, it makes (110 threads per day, being
the average), 3850 threads of 25 inches, which is very near
nisi lengths of the standard reel. A peony is paidlere to
Of every cat sada in the ortlimper wey.. At this
rate, a mouse earns fhl. every five weeks, which is jug one
farthing per day, or 7s. 6d. per annum. Take 6d. off for
board, and allow Is, for machinery, there will arise 6s. of
clear profit from every mouse yearly. The last time I was
in company with the mouse employer, lie told me he was
going to make application to the beritors for a lease of an
old empty house here, the dimensions of which are 100 feet
by 50, and 50 in height, which at a moderate calculation,
will bold ten thousand mouse mills, sufficient room being
left for keepers and some hundreds of sctators. Allow-
ing 2001. for rent and task-mastet s, and 5001. for the interest
of 10.0001. to erect machinery, there will be a balance of
2.300 per annum. This, Sir, you will say, is projecting
with a vengeance, but it would surely be preferable to
the old South Sea speculatiun.—l remain your obedient
servant,

MART•LA-BONNZ OFFICE..-31r, Bennett, of the Globe,
Titchfield-street, St. Mary-la-bonne, appeared before E.
011111111148. Esq. on an information laid by John Burrows,
serjeant of the night, for serving a watchman and two wo-
men after twelve o'clock on Saturday night week.
John Burrows, a serjeant of the watch, stated, that on
the night mentioned in the information, at fire minutes past
twelve o'clock, he saw a watchman named Davidson enter
the house of Mr. Bennett, with two women; that the
watchman had a light in his lantern before he went into
the house, and that after they came out, they all three
stood and talked at the corner; he. the witness, afterwards
found Davidson asleep in his boz, for which he was dis-
charged.
A watchman stated, that he saw Davidson go up to Mr.
Bennett's door, but could not swear whether he went in or
not ; he did not see a light in his lantern.
Mary Paris stated, that she and her sister had been wash-
ing; that she took a jug to get sotne beer; a yonog woman
was with her, but she did not go in. As she was go'ng
out, the watchman was at the door, and requested a light;
she did not speak to him.
Thomas Bennett, nephew to the defendant; stated, that
as Mrs. Paris, (who is a regular customer) was going out,
the watchman begged to have a light, which be gave him.
His aunt (Mrs. Bennett), on hearing the watchman's voice,
said, " Give him half a pint of beer for his attention in
finding the shutter-bolt not fastened." He immediately
' went away.
Mr. YOUNG, who attended for the defendant, begged
leave to state that the evidence of his witnesses had com-
pletely negatived that of the watchman, and that the ser-
jeant was contradicted by his own witness respecting the
light in the lantern. The witness Paris had not drank in
the house, neither had the watchman been served for sak..
of gain. The witness Paris had on her oath contradicted
the statement of the serjeant as to her holding any con-
verse with the watchman, and he begged to submit that his
client it as not liable to any fine.
The Magistrates, after sow discussion, fined Mr. Ben-
nett in the penalty of 50s.
Mr. Bennett then addressed the magistrates, saying that
as be bad always taken the greatest precautions not to of-
fend knowingly, and that he had kept that house (the
Globe) for 22 years with the greatest respectability pissi-
ble, he hoped the magistrates would not enforce the tine ;
if enforced, be should appeal. The parish prosecutes.
UNION•HALL—Captato byrne, formerly of the 10th
Hussars, appeared at the office to prefer a charge against
Mr, Emilie!, a solicitor, and a dashing woman of the town
under the following circumstances:—
The Captain stated to Mr. Chambers, that he bad to
complain of a most grass and atrocious assault, committed
by the two defendants upon him on Friday night. Sonic
time ago, as he was walking in Oxfurd-street, be met tile
female, who was a person well known to the fashionable
end of the town, and was invited by her to go clown to lip
sou noes. He refused for some time to accompany her to-
that scene of pleasure ; but ties not able to hold out long
against her %rani* solicitations, and consented to be one of
her party, which was upon the occasion limit d to three
persons—Captain Byrne, Mr. Itoubel, and the lady herself.
The Captain of course did not consider himself responsible
for any part of the expenses incurred upon the festive oc-
casion, and never suspected that he should be called npon to
psy a share. lie was, however, mistaken, for to his astonish-
went. he was applied to for five guineas by Mr. bootie),
and termed insults accompanied the demand. In the
park, Mr. Emilie' called aloud to him in the midst of the
company, " Captain Byrne, when do you intend to pay me
the five guineas you owe me?" but to no.ice was taken of
such injurious ron.tuct. At last Mr. Itonbi.l followed the
Captain out of Davis's theatre. and called him those names
which are most disagreeable to a military ear, accusing
him at the same time of' shabbily refusing to reimburse the
five guineas; which the Captain said he was determined
never to pay, as he was the guest of the lady, and no: of

the gentleman. Mr. Kolibri, upon beidg tx.matelated with,
grew more and more unmanageable, and less select in ex-
pressions of provocation. The Captain then took him by
the collar in order to give him into the custody of an ohl-
cer, but Mr. Kriebel commenced a most furieus assault upon
the Captain, and soon afterwards the lady also began to
belabour him until hie face was covered with blood. The
two assailants were then placed in the care of the police.
In answer to the charge, Mr. Konbel sta e 1 that Captain
Ilyroe, being in honour bound to pay the sun alluded to!
had subjected himself to constant application for it, with
out consideration as to time or place. It was admitted that
the money had been frequently demanded, and that verr
uncomplimentary language had been used by Mr. Roche'';
but then the language of the Captain was not .a whit the
less exception4ble. Mr. Itoobel denied most solemnly.that
lie had given the first blow. The Captain had he said,
made the first attack, and did not like the return that nik
made, whereupon he took the assistance of the officers: As
for the lady, it was not likely that she would eater Into a
contest of the kind, and it was not very gallant to 4ICCUMc
her of a participation io a quarrel which ought to have been
decided in her alsence.

Here the complainant and defendant proceeded to re•
proach each other without ceremony.
Mr. CHAMBERS finding from this violent feeling towards
each other, that it would be necessary to provide foe the
safety of both, ordered each to find securities to keep the
peace. He at the same time discharged the female, and
expressed some surprise at the Captain's acceptaaCe of all
invitation from her under such circumstances.
WORSHIP STREET.—..CHARGS 07 RAPE AND' Rovsrar
ON Tile CANAL.—Yesterday Samuel floskinson, Josepi.
Ala.rfidd, and William !Tomlinson, three stout inland navi-
gators, were charged before ROBERT DEMI., Esq., with
a rape of the most barbarous nature,
Elizabeth Clayton, a young and healthy looking. womaa,
stated, that she came from No. 4, Cuff--street, in Dublin,
where she bad lived servant for three years and a bait n it h
Mrs. Gelston, who Itad gN.en her a cretin: ate of character
for quietness, sobriety, honesty, and strict attention, to
which were affixed that lady's frame and the family arms.
Her husband, Mortimer Clayton, wos a carpenter, and bak
from necessity left her, and was somewhere in London,
and, anxious to Pee him, she obtained leave of her nsi;tress,
and set out for the purpose of seeking the long-lost object
of her affections. Having arrived at Liverpool, she prose-
cuted her journey on foot for three days, and name to a
place called (as she thinks) Stone, situated on the Canal.
and there she paid 4u. for her conveyance to London. la
this boat she travelled two days and two nights, and on
Sundae morning last, about two o'clock, they came
company with the prisoner Hoskinson'e boat, and when
they were, as she heard the men say. about IS miles final
town, the Captain, as he is called, date first boat, told her
he could come no further, but he world speak to lloskinson.
the Captain of the other boat. This was about live o'Cloeic
on Sunday afternoon, and presently she was informed i
was arras led for her to go without paying any more mons....
The boats were then, it would appear, together, in Cowley
hock, and her bundle was given to the prisoner M ix-
field, who banded the witness into the cabin, where she saw
the prisoner Hoskinson sitting on the side of the bed smok-
ing his pipe. She sat down on a bench, anti in about act
hone the two other prisoners, one after the other, came in.
and sat down on the same bench, which obliged her to sit
up nearer to the bed. Hoskinson, who had scarcely spoke
to her before then, said, " Come over and sit oil the bed, no
one shall harm you." The same moment he caught hold
of her by the middle and threw her on the bed. She re-
sisted, and struggled, and cried out " murder" three or
four times, as loud as she could. She also called out.
" Gentlemen, is there no one to save me " Father, what
did you rear me for to be used so by these men?" " God
Almighty deliver me from these men." The prisoner
Hoskinson observed, .• Your father nor trod can't save yoo
this time, until I have done with you." The poor womna
had now struggled pith him for near a quarter of an hoar,
and was weak and also hoarse nith shoutino, when the co..ner
two prisaners laid hold of her and assisted the monster to
the commission of his vile purpose. No sooner had tide
fellow left her than she was seized by Ito xlitison, Inul
the only resource was to beg of Hoskinson to save her
from the other. Hoslcinson said something., and the other
desisted, and she went toee on the top, anti got to the
other end of the boat, where there was a man and wo-
man and some children who were passengers. She told
them what had passed, and begged to stay there till tae
morning; butt the man told her he wool! Oros her over-
board if she did not get out of that place. She returned to
the top and sat till she was wet, and then went towards the
cabin where the captain was steering. He told her to
go down cad warm herself by the fire, th it the :,vos
men were in bed, and that no one should hurt tier
any more. She would not, but asked how far thew
were from the City, and he said about three mires.
She was afraid of *him, and therefore spoke to hi:n ;
be asked if, when the boat came to the Tunnel, she
would go with him to a stable at:d pass for his wife ; she
said she would not, she would rather throw herself into the
Canal: he said, " be a—id if I will, bat you may if you
like after I have done with you again ;" she said she wo std
go down on her two knees to him, if he would let her alone;
he then caught hold of her, and she cried out " 0 my Gorr,
you are not going to kill me again ;" she resisted, bat he
pushed her down with her head almost in the sewer, and
accomplished his purpose. The prisoner Rowlinson them
