• nature to destroy the rights of Lord Gambier. The
service is connected in its very origin, and it will bP
difficult to'show how it was dissociated. It is tree
thin it wet effected by the firesbips, bet the in-shore
rqtradron was advanced to receive the men. from the
fireships. Oa the ne=t mornieg the combined'ope-
rations wen-contineed. Whether the whole or only
a part of the fleet engaged is of no sort of conse-
quence. Lord Cochrane made signal for farther as-
sistance, acknowledging thereby that the fleet was in
a situation to afford it. Some censures are thrown
in the act on petition on Lord Gambier; but the
co-
nesance of compliints of that nature, although it for-
merly belonged to this Court, is now happily trans-
ferred to another and more competent tribunal ; but
' still the very charge of neglect implies an admission
on the part of Lord Cochrane, that Lord Gambier
commanded the enterprise; how else coold he be
considered as answerable for the consequences ? In
the present case, the fleet is not removed by elonga-
tion, for it was not above five miles from the scene of
action. The operation is not by detachment, for all
were employed. There was no separate controul,
for the whole takes its orders from Lord Gambier.—
all contributed to produce the effect, but with differ-
ent degrees of activity. The whole service, whether
principal or ausilisry, was confided to and directed
by Lord Gambier :

Mr. Hest addressed Mr. Birnie, and said, be bad
waited epee bias in conseqsence or. rumour that •
man bad beet mordered on Monday.night in Covent-
' garden, and he should esteem it a favour to be In.

The MAGISTRATE informed him he bad not heard
of such a eircenistance, and be bad no doubt it was
not tree.
• Mr. West stated, that be had heard that the body
of the murdered man was atiticherdson's Hotel.
The MAGSSTRATE amend Mm he did not believe
there was any foundation for such a story.
Mr. Hunt and Mr. West then left the office, after
taking leave of the Magistrate, but returned again
immediately ; and Mr. Hunt stated that, as he was
leaving the office, a constable bad behaved very im-
properly in refusing to admit two men into the office,
who said they bad come to bail Farrant, whom he
had beard esamined; and the witness against him
bad said, the misconduct which be bad charged him
with having been guilty of look place at ten o'clock,
whereas the man said he was in custody at seven.
Mr. &elm ordered the constable to be brought
before him, when Mr. Hunt repeated his charge of
the hail for Forrest being refined admittance into the
office. It tinned mat, however, that the ma' bad

Mr. BIRNIE gave orders to the constable ..wbe bad

The other Prisoners were also examined.. The
charges were of a similar nature. Several were or-

iloW-vrater.—On :Monday evening John Bales
was charged with being is Instigator sod ringleader
of the riots which took plate at Covent-garden and
its neighboorhooslobeing concerned in the first attack
upon the car or cutter which was drawn about town
by the party of Sir Murray Memel. Re under-
went a Wag esamleation before Mr. Blum.
Jobs Blaney, of 16, Stratton-ground, West-
minster, said, that on Monday afternoon he saw the
Prisoner in Oxford-street', carrying sway a pole be-
longing to the cutter which bad been drawn about
London in the course of the day, with the colours of
Sir Murray Maxwell. The Prisoner's hat was at the
top of the pole; with a flag attached to it, and he
was carrying it about in triumph, calling out " Bor.,
date for ever," arc. The Prisoner was eommitted.
James Goldbourne and Thomas 'Watkins were
charged by Mi. Lee, the High Constable, with spit-
ting on Mr.. Edward Dailey and Mr. Edward Bald-
win. The charge was not pressed against Watkins ;
but yesterday morning Mr. Edward Baldwin stated,
that Goldbourne was on the Hustings at Covent-
garden, after the Poll had closed on Monday evening,
and stood near the spot where Mr. Gale Jones was
speaking, from whence Mr. Gale Jones pointed him
Out to the mob as the person who *as interrupting
him in is speech, which caused several men among
the mob to spit at him, and throw several things at
bim, among them was a piece of the boat belonging
to Sir Murray Maxwell's party, which had been de-
stroyed; he baring received a blow from it, he
jumped from the Hastings among the crowd, and
seized three men, and he contrived to hold them till
some constables came to his assistance, and took
chugs of them.
James White, of the Thames Police-office, stated,
thet the Prisoner was pointed out to him among the
crowd, as one who bad been throwing various bard
substances, hallooing, and making a great noise
among the crowd close to the Hustings. near where
Gale Awes was speaking, and that Mr. Baldwin,
the Preeioiltor, bad hold of him when be took him
into custody.-- Ordered to find bail.
The several persons who were taken into custody
on Monday evening in Covent-garden, and secured
in Richardson's Hotel till they Were sent off to the
House of Correction, were yesterday morning brought
from that prises to the office, and underwent exami-
nations before Mr. Blasts four of them at a time
being placed et the bar. The four first were Thomas
Farrant, William Jeffries, William Smith, and Won.
Dealt.
John Huggins, a special constable, stated, that he
observed one of the Prisoners (we could not ender-
rand which) active among the crowd. He first told
him to go about his business at sif o'clock, bat he
paid no attention, remaining among the crowd till the
soldiers arrived between Seven and eight o'clock, when
he several times called the Life Guardsmen " Pic-
cadilly butchers;' hooted and hallooed at them, &c.
Witness warned blip to go away three or four times
- before be took him into custody.
Ths evidence was confirmed by George Judge, of
theTbames Police-office, and John Chesworth, a
-special constable; who also stated, that be saw the
Prisoner Jefferies beading the mob about seven
o'clock; cid a little after seven, he saw him armed
with the handle of a birch broom, and striking at the
- constables with it ;be made a snatch at the handle of
the birch broom to endeavour to get it from him, but
he unfortunately missed it. The Prisoner then struck
hies with it; be at length succeeded, with assistance,
in forcing the handle of the broom from him.
George Dalton, en Officer belonging to the White.
chapel Police Office' stated, that he saw the Pri-
soners, Farrant and Jeffries, very active among the
crowd, and be saw them both pelting at people with
varicose hard substances; which be stated to have
taken place about ten o'clock.
Fattng, Wigs defence, said, he was a Lehrman
man, and had been employed daring the election as
a porter, by Sir F. Burdett's Committee, -and the
business that called him into Covent-garden on Mon-
diy evening was this:—be had been sent by' the
Committee at the Red Leon public-house, in Prince's.
street Westminster, with a triete; to Mr..lltookst at
the Bedford Coffee.house prodaced the letter, and
Mr. Birnie ordered one,of the constables to take the
leiter to the Bedford Colfee-hosise without loss of time.
Fermat said he was merely passing through the mob,
and he was takes' into custody at seven o'clock,
and therefore the Officer most be suistaken as to him,
as he had stated whist his eolith* Isiel been at ten
:Iril
O'clock.

SPARRING „gr Tar FIVES COURT.

Oliver's benefit at this place yesterday, proved a
bumper, and the amateurs generally were of the most
respectable class. The set-to's were more numerous,
than of first-rate description, bet the following ex-
cited considerable interest and attention :
Sutton, the tremendous man of colour, and the
youth Crawley, took a turn with the gloves. The
long arms of the Black rather intimidated Crawley
on the onset, and he was somewhat shy ; but he made
an est:ollW _finish on Sutton's tiob, and concludedl
amidst thunders of applause.
There was a set-to of considerable &trot between,
Isle of Wight Hall and Ilarmer, in which science
was eminently pourtrayed. Hall. who has been eb.
sent for two Years, challenged Fisher for one hun-
dred guineas.
Shelton encountered the determined Life Ceara,.
man, and soon found out that he had his work to do.
The science of Shelton gave him rather the best of it,
but he was too feeble to satisfy the military hero,aad
he left off at the desire of the Court. A Serjeant of
the same corps supplied the place of Shelton, and
this set-to was much applauded.
Martin, the baker, ascended the stage with Fisher,
but the latter was too heavy for him. Martin, how.
ever, offered to fight Randall, Turner, or Burke, for
2001. aside, in sic weeks.
Randall and Belasco finished the sports of the
day. It was a set.to of considerable length, and
both of them were anxious to appear upon the high
ground before the amateur!. It was difficult to de-
cide to whom the palm belonged, and more stopping
than hitting occurred.
CnaLturass.—Brown and the junior Belasco
challenged each other. Burke also wished for another
trial with Randall, in three months, for 1001., when
his shoulder was expected to.be in a fit state ; but the
Irish lad said, be, would not fight for nobody under
41001. • and six weeks after his benefit he-would fight
any icier for that sum.--ANiver made his bow and
returned thanks, and as he was to fight on next Fri-
day week, he treated that would be a sufficient apo.
logy for his not setting-to. He was much applauded.
Santal new matches are on the tapis;
Eczertorrizasno SwinllLSß.—On Monday se'n.
night, a person stating himself to bee Mr. Harvey, a
son of Admiral Harvey, arrived at Wyon's Hotel,
' Falmouth, in his carriage, attended by two servants,
Owe in livery, and the other said to be the butler be.
Waging to the family. Immediately on his arrival he
made enquiry for a vessel to proceed to France, and
lading one which was chartered by Mr. F. S. Symons,
about to sail for Noirmoutier, be took his passage
apd sailed. early on Tuesday morning. Perious to
his sailing he said that be had come from London as a
Candidate for the Borough of Grampoond, but being
tee late, he was anxious to proceed to France. Early
es 'Wednesday morning a person from the Lis.
ketird Book reached Falmouth in pursuit of- the
'fugitive, who it seems had succeeded in obtaining a
considerable sum from that house, on producing
forged documents, and giving a draft on Admiral
Harvey. It is understood that several other banks
in this county and in Devonshire have also been de.
frauded ; so that the swindler has escaped with a fell
purse. He contrived to eccbaage a considerable sum
in notes for gold at Falmouth ; and gave the post.
boys who drove him to and from Truro, a one.
pound note each. On his embarkation, the servants
were ordered to return to town, and after shaking
bands with their supposed master, set off in a post-
chili'. As the wind was favourable through the
whole of Tessday; the successful depredator hap, no
doubt, reached the French clad.
Sunday night Thomas Gatfield, Esq. of Pimlico,
proceeding across Ranelagh green, Chelsea, was
stopped by two men dressed as watermen, who rob-
bed him of a valuable gold watch.
On Monday night Wortley, the constable, appro.
3heptied a woman in the act of breaking into the trea-
sury at Vauzball-gardens.
Yesterday, a few minutes before 12, as the men
employed io pullini doiQibe workshop of Mr. Wil-
son; situate on the west-iide of the Waterloo-bridge.
