THE CIIURCIII MILITAXT.—A letter from Had.
dingtots, dated October 13, says —" A fracas of
an uncommon kind happened yesterday in our
church, disgusting to pious people, and nut very
creditable to those immediately concerned. The
Convenor of Trades, who, it would seem, is not
a great favourite with the Nligistrates, being re-
fused admission to his scat by the town officers,
at a morning service, was irritated thereby to '
such a degree, as to go round into another seat,
and thence, at one leap, place himself amongst
his worthy brethren. At afternoon service, the
Magistrates having previously resolved to resist
each an intrusion, when the Convenor apprkeried
at his post, and attempted to ipring again into the
magisterial seat, he was Cake knocked bark try
one of the Magistrates, though ultimately, h)
persisting in offensive measures, he regained pus.

An uninhabited house in Soho square, in which
the late General Win Word lived, was ro;abed a
few evenings ago of coppers, lead, and other
portable property. The robbery was committed
before the watch was set, -mid the thieves made
their escape with their booty. Several houses
have been lately stripped of lead, and many pipes
have been stuleu from mews and other places, and
;t is necessary that the public should be on its
guard as much as possible against such depreda-
tions. The Police should look to the fence shops.
A melancholy accident happened near Dover,
