tharjuvenile delinquency has arrived at a very high pitch;
but we will tell Mr. Halls, that it is Dot so kept under by
putting the dealings of mankind in fetters, nor by sending
a respectable tradesman to Newgate, to be locked up with
felons till the sessions arrive, or by compelling him
to spend 501. or 601. on a journey into the
country, with lawyers and officers of the law, to
give bail before a judge for his appearance there; when
after 111 this heavy mortification and expence, he le to be
told by the Common Sergeant that " be cannot think for a
moment of putting him upon his defence." No: The
number of juvenile offenders will never be reduced till the
taxes which keep some of their parents in a state of such
titter destitution, that they are careless where their children
fotsge for bread, and compel others, more fortunate, to
tabor so incessantly to provide for.the cravings of nature,
that they have not time for that care of their offspring that
the labouring man formerly bestowed.

If our readers want any means whereby to gage tbe
intellect of Mr. Swahee, we refer them to his letter to Mr.
.Lawson, the clerk of the peace for Sorry, enquiring
whether the reports of that gentleman's observations upon
Swabey's .conduct wen correctly gives. Mr. Lawson's
veply jaalloost as clever a thing; but it wants the Dublin+e
obscurity of the worthy magistrate. Sines Mr. Lawson
ventures to talk of the " hireliags of the press," may we
ask bias -what he thinks of a hireling of the magistrate!
The :spoilers are assuredly as respaetable a body of den
as the, cierkt of the peace. We are end& we must say
anthiag,of.the comparative talent of the patties. lit.

Rsuniousitheounzas.—On Friday evening, two female
Friends (ae they .appeared from their dress and speech),
tree shoat the age of 30. and the other 20, were taken into
(untidy, for distributing printed papers, which had not the
printer's name attsched,atthe dours of Drury Lane Theatre,
dissuading people from attendance on ungodly pastimes.
On bring taken to Bove Street, they were fined 201. each.
for distributing printed papers without the printer's name;
with the understanding that the fine would not be levied, 1
if they desisted from obstructing the avenues of the Theatre.
Yesterday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a
roan invested, as it would seem, with some brief parochial
authority, to prevent the profanation of the Lord's Day,
slily pounced upon the standing of an oyster wench, at the
comer of Little Russell Street, Drury Lane. Threatening
with a sodden jerk the downfall of the ricketty fabric, be
dummied of the terrified girl, " What the h-11 do you
de here i"—." This is a decifielt odd way," observed • bye-
Mader, "to sanctify the Sabbath:' and to complete the
some, all the numerous liquor-shops in that gin drinking
11a(kbovrhood, were, all the while, brim full of customers,
nabbing mitt to themselves and preparing to become pests
lofty, under the licence of Dlagistrecy and the pro-
tect's* of Law.

-Os 800 day evening last a fire broke out amongst the
estteo bides piled op Bombay Orson. It was first discovered
ttlifliflllet eight o'clock, and before nine it bad in-
in its destructive grasp several heaps, containing
any bemired bales. At that time the prospect was truly
terrific. in contact with the bnrning mass, there were up-
wards of 20,000 bales of unscrewed cotton, the public
Ohms of Government. the arsenal, the custom-house, tbe
dos, tie, and many valuable private buildings, which itome-
'Wide surrounded the spot, were threatened with almost
iossediste destruction.-- The engines produced no visible
'(Set. The beat from the fire was exeessive,.and the most
'elts apprehensions weregentertained that the whole of,
tie lowa would be involnd in the conflagration; indeed,
isthiag bet the prompt and vigorous exertions used to .
dear the bales from the vicinity of the fire, and the forth-.
lite decinnstance of there being very little wind daring
h might, could have saved it. About eleven o clock a
separation was accotnplished, sod from that time
Ille :dilmeished, after consuming nearly 5000 bales of
"tins sod about 600 or 700 bags of rice.
