A MOST EXTR4ORDIN4RI OCCURRENCE.

A circumstance bas decoded in this city. which is at
present the topic of general eenversation, aid which
perhaps will be found interesting to the *hole Of err
readers. The particulars Ire as follow :--
Mr. Wilson, a respectable iren-fousidet., residing is the
Pavement, iu this city, has a foundry in Watergate;
and on Thursday week, William Brawn, one of his men
who is employed at the foundry (a quiet indastHotts fel-
low, with a wife and family), having tb call at the shop.
in the Pavement, accidentally entered into conversation
with Thomas Hope, an apprentice with Mr. Vibson, and
the son of a journeyman brewer of that. name, near Fess-
bridge. The conversation ultimately turned to the sub-
ject of the Queen's return to this country, and to the
improbability of an amicable arrangement being the re-
sult of the present negociation. In the irritation of the
I moment, Brown, very improperly and very injodicionsly
(according to the t 'presentation), said, " I wish that
the hug • • • • • • and I shook;
bare no objection • • • •I" or words to that
I purport. It appears that another apprentice and the
Sutton carrier were also present at the time when than
word:. were tittered. lkt Satnrdav last, a come/tunics-
lion w:.s received by the Right Him. the Lon! Mayor of
York front Lord Sidniouth, in:losing a letter, thigh
Hope, the apprentice, had sent to his Lordship, with a
detail of the above particulars. Aftcr stating that he
had received the said letter from an inhabitant of York.
Lord Sidusouth added a request, that the Lord Mayor
would adopt such measures as his Lordship, on inquiry,
might consider that ihe case required. Proper steps
were accordingly taken by the Lord Mayor and Mr. Al-
derman Wilson—the parties underwent an ifomediate
evainination—and Brown was ordered to give hail for
his appearance lit the next York Sessions—bin:self in 511/.
and two sureties in '2sf. each: which he did aceordligly,
The most remarkable part of this remarkable to ery , is,
that the apprentice (Hope) prlfevted to bole the oesoig
pc, Weal el.imitis as the accessed Brown, and had mom'.
ly used the omit violent expressions, at various times,
against his Majesty's Ministers, in the presence of his
fellow. workmen.

During the examination before the Magistrates. thin's
the informer, was asked, whether he was advised by any
one to take this step, to which he positively gave a ne.
'afire answer. Mr. tlibson, and the distressed mother
of the apprentice, however, repeated the question after.
wards. at Mr. o.'s house ; at which time, as if relenting
of his former conduct, he no lunge, denied di* apparent
feet, that other agency had been engaged. Still no
further particulars could be elicited from lilan sad it is
not a little remarkable, that he (the informer) 11.4 sines
disapptared from York, and wit observed pissing
through Dringhouses, with a hurdle in his Land, early
on Funday morning. In conclusion, it is worthy re.
mark, that though appearances are so much in favour
of steal agency, on this occasion, yet so ITSegVett had
the apprentice been tlitoughout the whole altair, that
the hr.-, word which Mr. tiibsou (his master) ever heard
on the subject, was from one of the 'Magistrates who
examined the parties.—( York Cos rot, S.)
