MEETING 9F THE INHABITANTS OF THE iVAH V
FARRINUDON WITHOUT.
On this day, at une o'clock, a nrinteroos and respec-
table Meeting of the Inhshitants of the Ward of Par-
rinvlon-Withont, was held in St. Bride's Chtirch, fur
the purpose of Iddressitig her Majesty on the wicked
runs Tracy, nuw carrying un to destroy her character
and hunuur.

At a quarter past one, Mi. Alderman WAITHMAN
took the Chair. amidst the acclamations of the Meeting.
The worthy Alderman observed, that it was not his
place to remark on the propriety or impropriety of
calling this meeting. He hoped lie never would be
wanting when called upon by the Ward. to comply with
their request. If any Ucntleman now wished to make
any observations, he Was now ready to liOar hint.
(Hear, hear).
Mr. THOMPSON then rose, anil addressed the Meet-
ing. We are sorry our limits will not permit us to follow
him through his eloquent speech. Ile said that those
who supported the Queen were called the friends of
revolution ; but he wa- sure, he should hare 110 diffi-
culty in proving that the Minist. rs themselves had
taken such steps, that it now bscaine almost
impossible to prevent a revolution. lle said he felt
no hesitation in manfully avowing himself an earnest
•ind steady friend to Reform, but was it likely that he
who had been thirty years in butiness, who had a large
family, would be anxious to see a revolution, and see
his thirty years labour pulled down. No, he con-
reivei that if the yoke of the Reformers had been
heard, the country woulil have been exempted from
the present crisis. '1 lie learned rentleman proceeded
to trate all these evil: to the Holy Alliance, a confede-
racy against the liberties of the people.
We left the Uentleinan speaking.

HAT.

Frederick Piclry was indicted for stealing on the
•16th July. un Paddington tireeit, a silk handkerchief,
the property of Sir U. Cos:omm.
The case was clearly proved, and the prisoner was
found fluilty.
William frill was nest put to the bar charged with
stealing a watch, the property of a person unknown.
Wilhatu Ilalines, a soldier in the Guards, stated that
oil the 20th of July he was standiss,T, opposite the house
1
of :11r. Ahlerissau flood. in South Anilley-street, when Ise
%sic souse persons who appeared to he companions of the
prisoner take ii watch 1 a gentlensan who was stand-
iis near. and pass it through two or three hands until
1
it urn% lodged in the possession of the prisoner, who im-
mediately placed it in his pocket. %Vito's,' caused the
prisoner to he taken into ctiquily, Anil he prevaricated
s cry muck when questioned respecting the watch.
1 Ir. Paton Glivii sm summed up, and the Jury found
the prisoner guilty.
Souse dispute arose as to whom the watch shoed.] be-
i May, slick was pat au end to by Sheriffllothwell,
iwho handed it to the soldier, at the same time observing
that his conduct was highly praise•worthy:
Pradria Hall was convicted of assaulting Wel.
ham, and stealing front his person the suns of six-peucc
in copper monies.
ALs Dario, was capitally indicted for stealing a
watch, value hve po Is frutu the person of Emanuel

It appeared in evidence that in the latter end of July
Ivst, the prosecutor was walking in the fields near
Hackney, when the prisoner came up to hint and laid
hold of Isis arm, saying that if he made a noise be
would cut his throat, and • sediately demanded his
watch. The watch was delivered to the prisoner who

By the Ceres, letters of the •22d July have been re•
velvet! from Sierr 1-I.rone, but they contain no news.—
The colony was perfectly healthy.
Ile.mann %nix Act torsur.—A singular eirrnmstance
lately took place at the Cumfdie FraNctliSr. Baptiste,
who was playing the part of a bailiff, drew front his
pocket a parr to represent the warrant by virtue of
which he exercised his authority. What was his asto-
nishment on reading the name of one of his female r...
Idiom, who, through ignorance of a will which hail
been made in her favour at Dresden, was deprived of a
eittisiderahle fortune bequeathed to her by her uncle'.
The paper was a true copy of this will. Baptiste utter-
ed several exclamations of surprise, accompanied by
'melt comic testis:ilia • s, that the theatre resotauded
nit,' applause. The audience were, however, far
front suspecting the real cause. Baptiste, haring
carefully clepo-ited the paper in his pocket, con-
tinned his part, and on the following day commu-
nicated the discovery to his relation whose claims
will probably he speedily acknowledged. This strange
adventure is explained as follows:—.Souse time ago,
a party of the performers of the Comvlie Fronaise
proceeded to Dresdru, to play in the presence of the
sovereigns who were assembled in that city. Among
other scenic accessories, they found it necessary to pro-
cure a lumber of ohl parchments: anal it is probable
that the document in question has ever since remained
in the pocket of the dress worn by Baptiste when he
made the fortintate discover-.
SliOrkiNfl Eve r.—.t Coroner's Inquest was held on
Toesclav last, at Newton St. Cyr's, on the hotly of a
child that had been killed by a pig. It appeared in
evidence that the mother, a pout woman, went to Exeter
market, leaving her three children (the eldest about five
years old, and the youngest, the unfortunate sttlferer,
,shout a year and a half.) in a Geld at play. During
her absence a pig was seen mangling the (bill iu the
hedge-trough ; and when it was rescued front its dread-
NI situation, the voracious animal had eaten off the
ears, and horribly disfigured the arms and one of the
sides, lent life was nut extinct ; the poor child, however,
survived hat a few honrs. The jury returned a verdict
of accidental death.—( Exeter Paper.)
Bourns.—The money was made good on Tuesday
night, for the battle bow. en David Hudson and Mar-
tin, whi•ch will take idler in the middle of October
fur 100 guineas. This is the only match on the topes.
Tne system has become so much of a tradiar one,
that it is no longer a trial of courage and manhood :
and the gentlemen who have patronised the ring, have
not only left off backing the boxers, but they do nut
attend the exhibitions.
