The whole of yesterday. morning Old Burlington-
Street was. Riled 'nith crowds of speetatora,wlio came
to view the ruinous spectaele eshibited by Mr. 'Ro..
binson's house. It had an the appeigince of idwel•
ling sacked and pillaged by a hostile tinitary forte.
The iron railing fu front of•the hoelleitis completely
torn op, and thrown into the area. lite boos* *lf
surrounded by an immense populace, the street was
•
altogether impassable. About SOO of. the Life
Guards were on duty resat the Wane and in the ad-
jisoent avenues.

area to the garret. Ilii carriage,' which fortuaittely

Monday night, between nine and ten o'clock. In.
Berkeley-square, Lord Darnle's house is nearly in
the same ruined state as Mr. Yorke',. They have
both been abandoned by, the whole of their revel*
tire families. Carpenters were busily.employedAhn-,
whole of the morning in blocking up the doors. '
The injury done to
,the Lord Chancellor's boom,
la Bedford-square, appears still greater than that of
Lord Dsrnely's and Mr: Yorke's. The stucco front
is completely destroyed, and the iron balcony broken
or bent downwards. Every window in front is de.
stroyed. Lord Ellenborough's house, in St. James's-
square, has sustained less damage than the others.—
The windows of the lower part only are broken in.

-POPULAR PROCEF.DINGS OF YESTERDAY. '
Yesterday the crowds assembled near. the House
of Commons, and in the viclaky of the houses of
those Members who support the Corn Bill, were
very numerals; but the frequent appearance of the
sanitary amoagst them, kept them in a state of
tolerable quiet. Guards were stationed at the door
of the Lord Chancellor : horse and foot soldiers
paraded St. 'James's and Berkeley-squares, where
reside Lord Castlereagh and Lord Darnley ; and in-
deed military patroles were seen last night in most
of the streets of the west end of the town. About
seven o'clock, before the soldiers had arrived at
Lord Castlereagh's, a mob, consisting of not above
forty or fifty per,ons, broke the lower windows of
his Noose, and then walked leisurely away. We
have, ho sever, to lament a melancholy occurrence
which took pi Ice opposite to the' ho e of Mr.
Robinson. Our readers will have 'teed that
the windows of the house of that Gent eman had
been completely demolished on Monday night :
last night, from some remissness, we suppose, the
street in which he lives was almost the only one un-
protected by the military, who were so numerously
dispersed in most other places. The consequence
was, that a esot) vs as able to assemble which between
nine end tee 0...1ack proceeded to further mischief,
brtiingiug bir,4;-, stones at the shutters: some sot.
dies, who, it now appeared, had been stationed in
the parlours, tired from the windows: seven shots
were distinctly heard, but five of them were supposed
to be the report of blank cartridges. One shot, how-
ever. unfortunately took took effect, and &man was
seen to fall. The crowd then dispersed; the person
who was struck was taken up and carried to Mr.
lierrison's,` the surgeon, bet he was found to be
quite lifeless, having been shut through the head.-
I,The bed) was then tiikess_to St. Jaasea'ainfirsoary
to be owned. No card or bitter' was discovered
about the deceased which could lead to a knowledge
of his name or situatior. ; but from the buttons on
his coat, it is conjectured that be was a naval oiScer.
It is iaid that a woman, sho had indiscreetly seized
with the crowd, was also killed.

' It 'slatted is Paris, that the principal object of
EOM CASTLERI %GUN visit to that capital, on his
return to England, • was his Lordship's wish to re-
concile tie Royal Family, and their august head, to
the ecintinoance of M ttaAv on the throne of Naples.
On this point the greatest irritation is said to prevail
in the French Court. Parisian quidnunc, report,
that when Lord CASTLEREAGH began to speak on the
' subject, the benignant countenance of the King of
FRANCS became immediately flushed with envy,• and

A Petition from Exeter and its vicinity, to both
Houses of Pitrilament, against any alteration in the
Corn Laws, was unanimously agreed to on Saturday
last, and although it was not engrossed till near three
o'clock that afternoon, it was sent off at half past
six the following evening; so general was the desire
of the inhabitants to express their opinion on this im-
portant subject, that no less than ict,353 signatures
were attached to it before sit o'clock, comprising al-
most every person of respectability in the city. So ,
oisseli consequence was attached to the Petition's be-
i ing presented in time, that **Gentleman, wbo valets.'
teered his services, sat off express for London to gat*
it presented on Monday. The coach was deems by
the populace from the Guildhall for one mile eat of
.the City, amidst the acclamation of thousands.
The Ulster Recorder states, that a Meeting of doe
Landholders for the county of Antrim having been
convened to Petition in support of the Corn Rilt;tise
women took possession of the Court-house of As.
trim at an early hour, L.l refused admittance to tbs.
!landholders. The mob without re-eeboed the send.
, mut with dreadful vociferations, and the land-
holden, including the Marquis of Dortusax, dis-
Ipersed without holding any meeting. The Galway
Ipopelace have displayed a similar disposition woe i
this subitket.
Measures have been taken to forward troops.,
speedily to the metropolis, as may be seen by the '
following Circular sent by the High Constable of ,
Brighton, to the different Inn-keepers of that district :

LAIF INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, BIA ROI 6.
BOVTOCK V. WESTON.

! This was an action by an attorney against a sta-
ble-keeper, for negligence, In the custody of the
' Plaintiff's gelding, whereby it was bitten by a stallion,
of which the Defendant had also the charge.
It appeared by the evidence of litr. Curwood,
..tbeJiteesiebret who hammed to bsuMb tho•PWn-
tiff When the intelligence of thew:eldest •as brought
to him, and who went with him to see the horse, that
the ostler who brought that intelligence, represented to
them that the Plaintiff's horse had brokentoese in the
stable and had got to the stallion, who had bitten him.
1 They found the gelding very much lacerated from his
ear to his shoulder on the one side and greatly bitten
(though *pa so much ,en the other. Mr. Curwood
said at the time, that if the fact had been as the ostler
represented It, the gelding most have walked up to
the stallion both sides of him, after having been bitten
no one side. The woeads did not appear to him to
hivebeen very recently done; bet be could not say on
what rout day he went to see the horse. The hoes*
bad been blooded, but from the appearance of Melia

.Mr. Sewell, professor at the Veterinary College,
I was called in the 16th of July, the accident having
been represented to him to bate taken place on the
15th. The wounds appeared to him to have been
longer inflicted ; ioflansmation,supuretion, and swell-
: ing had taken place. The horse could not be re-
moved to the College till the 26th, and remained
there ail the 9th of November. Mr. Coleman, of 1
the same place, thought from the appearance of the',
wounds, that the stallion must base come to the
1 gelding. These witnesses, together with the Life,
I Guards Veterinary Sergeoni proved that it was
customary end necessary to secure stallions in the
regale stable with other hems, either in a box stall
with a chain or bar, or with an additleen. neck
fastening. Mr. White and Mr. Freemelertite
Attendee, went to the stable with the Plaintiff after
the accident: the Defendant then said, that if than

stallion had been throat lashed, and a liar' hid been
put up, the accident would not have happened; that
It was all- Joe's (the ostler) fault ; and that he
dewed to say Mr. Usher (who was the owner of the,
stallion) would make the Plaintif some compiosa..
tioa. One of the witnesses asked the Defendaut if It
was meal to confine stallions in .the same stable -with
other horses only bra baker: the Defendant repined,
