lir. Ilitsinekt, the Sitting Magistrate. at Bow-
street, on Saturday, was occupied great, part of the
clay ii hearing evidence against a number of persons
brought in by the Police on Friday etening, charged
with taking part in the outrages at the Curries
mace..
'I best persons were for the most part, either misel
rabic half starved ragged little fellow., or stripling!
youths; and as a worthy Magistrate present observed!
Uses were, (according to custom) merely thefig I the
very dregs of the crowd. But perhaps the officers:
thought •• small births better than none."
ja•mael Newsman was the first of these worthies
placed at the bar. lle was one of the half starved.
oats, dreadfully ragged, and nut noire than four fret!
ten. lie was charged by the porter of the Cornier
ether and three of the dismounted horse patrole, with
throwing something, either a brickbat or ast •,;
through the inner glass partition of that satire, anal
also with being " within the least in the world" of
striking the said porter on the head with the lassie
stone or brickbat.
'fhe prisoner denied the charge, bitterly, anal Plated
himself to be a quill ares•wr to a W1106.311' Stationer
in Crane-court. Fleet-street. Ile was ordereit to final
bail, to Dauer the charge at the Sessioetig
('bodes Slrephmrsl, a still more forlorn Witting lit tle
fellow than the last. lie was ch I by an°dicer
'with picking np something n Change,
'•with intent to throw it at the I 1."
.This prisoner also utterly deni rife ; and
galled his minter, a respectable Brasafounder in Esc-
tet•street, who ;:ace him an exhellent character,
slitting seventeen years that he had worked fur him.
It appeared also, that he had a wife anal family ; and
so under all the circumstances he was let off on the
single hail of his master.
. Williams II *modirard was the nest. He was another
of the miserable undersized ragged root, s ; and he
was charged by anise three sir four sturdy members of
the dismounted patilile with throwing a stone through
the first Hew isiuilow at the Courier Ace. t barge

read.

whole adventures flora- ghoul the evening; in the
course of whit h he obvervetl, that some people ex-
pressed their joy by illuminating their betties; but
hr thought best to illuminate himself, and be did
not believe there was any law to prevent him from so!
doing."
The Magistrate, however, was of a different opi-
nion, and expatiated upon the wickelness of carry-
ing a lighted torch. it was, be observed, a very
tnyeerious action, and excited great suspicion in his
mind. _ _

The patrol now hogged to add, that be bad seen
the prisoner twice previously, oppo,ite the Cum s ler
office. lie was there (continued the patrol) jnst at
the moment that this boor was thrown at yonr 11'or•
ship, when you were reading the Riot Act at the Vow
ri, r•olfice dour. '1 his is the, bone, your Worship,
that knocked out the candle ! Ilrre the patrol pulled
a large mutton bone from his pocket, and laid it
on the table.

Wintery solemnly denied being at the Currie►
office, and Mr. James, an auctioneer, who was with
him, corroborated him in this particular, after declar-
ing on oath that the patrol struck hint before he ut-
tered a word.

The 11agistrate said, that torehes were extremely
dangerous things, and he ordered the defendant to
find bail!
Oh!berry complained bitterly of tliis decision, aa►l
said the patrol ought to be held to bail for assaulting
him.

James Sqryer, hit companion, wet then lor•ouglot
in. Ile was a very obsequious, derent-looking, el-
derly wan, and stated I • self to be, like the last pri-
soner, a eahinet-maker; with this dillerenre, that he
was aof sts r, and the other a iloararylll.lll. 1.1 aas

and J .a said his only crime was wearing a white
favour.

men, naniril Rimk and Cruet., were charged, the one
with having been the leafier of a mob of about 64.0

Strand he went to see what was the matter, when the
others ordered hiu, to " wove sin ;" a hid; he Mime-

diately did towards Exeter Change ; hut Lis home

man, between whom and the Magistrate the following
dialogue rusurd iisassediatoly after he had a rrulw-
ratrd prisoner's statement

Saturday night ?-111 take care to let Mr. Witesr
know what pretty cart of a servant he has."
".Sir, toy idols!, the prisoner, is a foreigner, and I
thought, as he wished to see what was the matter, I
would accompany Ishii for a few minutes. I had no
idea there, could be any crime itt this ; and I out sure
I even endeavoured to persuade him nut to Writ bark
again the saute way fur fear of offending theulEccrs."
•• Did any officer see this fellow there ?" (Some of
the officers having answered in the affirmative. his
worship condoned) —" Take him away and bock him
up.we will see if we can't find some evidence against hint
presently. At all events I shall send an officer with
him to his master that be may know of his tuis•
conduct."
" Your worship, I hope you will not deal so
harshly with me. I have committed no crime nor is
soy laid to toy chat ge, and such a measure as this
may eati•e me to !me my plan in which I have main-
tained a good character upwards of three years."
" Take hint away ! and let him be Jet:Anvil."

Ituaseil-etrret, Correia garden, ow Friday Night, he
saw the prisoner and another man carrying two lighted
torches, and shouting " 'I he Quern for ever!"
" Light op," Ike. He went to them and told them

the Magistrates to make them desist ; upon which
tildbory said, " I)—n the Magistrates," or wo.ds
to that effect. A stodge ensued, in which he, the

the prisoner lifteu op the bloody handkerchief

to the prisoner Hook, sad reasoostneine -with him ti

excesses which lie might not be 'life IS cheek. and for
which be would have to answer ; advising him t• de

Saturday afternoon a distressing accident occurred
at a new intiltling, near the Half way-llouse, in the
Commercial Howl, belonging to Alr. Chun-Istvan), a
master bonder. The building. wh:els was five stories
high, was just finished, except the ceiling comae, at
which two Itrickla) era were laying co : two labourers
had just come vis the scaffold with mortar, when un-
fortunately the it bole of the honse, with use Witten-
lines crash, gave way from the foundation ; the seaf-
fultliett fell in, and the whole of the men, with the
exception of one who had jumped off, were buried in
the miss. The carpenters and others who were at
work in the inside were fortunately out before its fall-I
ing, or several lives must have been lust. Persons
igninediately set to work digging for the poor suffereis,!
who were under a vast heap of bricks and mortar, and
after a short time succeeded iu getting them out, all
three alive, bat having several of their limbs broken,
and their bodies mutilated in a shocking wanner.
They were conveyed on shutters to the London Dot-
pital, where, we are happy to state, some hopes are en-
tertained of their recovery.
Ott Wednesday afternoon, a great number of people
assembled to witm•ss the cruel diversion of baitiug a
bull iii a shallow of the river near the bridge at Kock-
dale, when the pressure upon the Nall became so great,
that it gave way and fell into the river; six men who
were under the wall were instantly crushed to death,
and a great !tougher of men, women, and children weir
precipitated into the water, of course many of,
these are very seriously hurt, wine of them danger:'
onsly. Since writing the preceding parw:ra;;ll, we
regret to have to add, that lister of the wounded are'
since dead, and there are three others eo dreadflagly
bruised, that no hopes are entertained of their recurefy. '

PORTSMOUTH, NUT. o.—Tiosrstlay night a most
neelascholy accident happened off Port oath. Dr. '

gut on her bottom, and she bring a stout barge. they
were enabled to keep above the water for some time ;

the weather bring so very cold, caused sit of them to
drop elf snecessively. The cries of the remaining five ;
were beard by a solitary vessel coming up front Cowes I
at half-past eight, and who very •fortuitately passing
the boat to leeward—they instantly hoisted out their
boat, and with great difficulty, from the benumbed
on board the vessel. It is additionally melancholy to
rcfieet. that limo( these peso fellows were married, and
the sixth kept his widowed soother; thus, is the abort
