CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

MARLBOROUGH - sTILEiT. Yesterday a man
named Thomas Gutherithre was brooglit before
the Magistrate by his master, Mr. Harr's, a re-
spectable scavenger at Paddington, on the infur-
elation of a itentleman named Mayhew, charged
with cruelty and ill-treatment to one of Mr. liar-
ris's horses, and neglect of his business. Mr.
Mayhew stated, that on Monday afternoon last
he was standing al his own door in Marshal-street,
St. James% and he saw a scavenger's cart, with
two horses in the team, sciudiug at a shurt dis-
tance from his house. One of the unfortunate
animals having some time after fallen from weak.
ness mid exhaustion, he remained for a consider-
able tune upon the ground at the risk of being
inktred by his fellow-labourer drawing the cart,
which was laden, over him, before any body came
to his assistance. At length the Defendant outs!
out of a public-house adjacent, and betas to be.
labour the unfortunate brute with his whip, until
he rose from his perilous situation. Having re.
coverml his legs, the miscreant continued .to cut
the horse on every aide with the greatest fury.—
Shocked at the Wile minify of the Defendant, Mr.
Mayhew ordered his servant to obtain the number
of the cart and the owner's name, which he im-
mediately did, and informed Mr. Herds of the
Delvntlant's conduct. Mr. H. with becoming
feeling, thanked the gentleman fur his obliging in-
terference, and expressed a determination to make
a most serious example of the Defendant. Mr.
Harris previa that his servant was much given to
drunkenness and ill-treatment to his horses, and
wee determined, he said, to aford an example of
Defendant
to his other labourers, by paniaising
Defendant with the utmost severity. The
gistrate, in pursuance of the Act, oniered• the
Defendant to be confined for one month it the
House of Comeliest.

QUIEEN.SQUARE.-41CSITIOUS NOTES.—Yester.
day Mary alias Muliens, was charged with
fraudulently uttering fictitious notes, purporting
to be of the Luton Hank, and payable at Messrs.
Holmes and Co. in London. It appeared by the
deposition of a eutostable, that the prisoner had
passed several of these notes during Monday last,
of five, two, and one pounds, at Mitcham Fair,
where she was detected. She was delivered into
the hands of Gellmore, the ufficer, and at her exa-
mination several tradespeople in Westminster, who
had been defraided by the prisoner, recognised her
as having passed the fictitious notes upon them.—
The prisoner conttivol to make several purchases
in shops where most business was going on, and
by that means avoidedi detection. The names of
Holmes and Co. on whom the notes were made
payable, appears in the Mercantile Directory with.
'out an address, which it would be diffienit to find.
'The prisoner, who is a genteel woman, etlrreman-
ded for another examination.

WHITECIIAPEL.—Yesterday John Joseph, a
black man, blind, near eighty years of age, re.
siding in Denmark-street, [tateliffe Highway, was
charged by the relatives of SarAlt Collis, a hand-
some white child, of twelve years of age, with au
attempt to commit a rape upon her. The child
gave a simple narrative of the case, and of the con.
duct of the prisoner towards her ; but net having

bricks from the ground of Mr. Greco, in Brick.
lane, Spitalfields.
A man was sent on board the Tender, charged
on suspicion of being a common pilferer. When
he appeared before the regulating officer, be
declared, that he was always considered as a
reputed thief, therefore, the officer would not re.
ftive him. Ile was brought back to the Office,
and committed to the Sessions.

MAIL-COACH ROBBING.
Bow-rragrr.—One.of the drivers of the Glue.
cater Mail-Coach was brought up, and under-
went a second examination, fur stealing from Mr.
Capel, who was lately a passenger in the above
coach, the sum of 671. in Bank-notes. Sayers,
the Officer who apprehended him, produced this
day 501. in Bank-notes, which the wife of the
Prisoner, who lives at Oxford, had in her posses.
sion. The most of them were identiGud by Mr.
Capel, the prosecutor, and the Prisoner was re-
manded for another hearing, but given to under-
stand that he would be committed fur trial.

COAL HAWKERS.
Joseph Leak:hear, of Pimlico Wharf, was
convicted for selling to Mr. Salter, of Covent.
garden, a certain quantity of coals, exceeding 8
bushels, without, at the time of such sale, deli.
vering a Meter's ticket.
The Sitting Magistrate, Mr. NARES, fined him
in the mitigated penalty of 51. which he instantly
paid.
ileley Bellamy Savory pleaded guilty upon an
information, charging him with having, by his ser.
want, sold coals by a defective measure. Lint
there appearing in his case much reason to sup-
pose, that the fault appertained more to the so.
♦ant than to the master, the Magistrate took that
into consideration, and the fine was made very
small, which he paid.

Several letters from Spain state, that during the
late absence of JOSEPH, and the diminution of the
garrison, insurrections had taken place in the ca-
pital, in whieh many lives were lust both of the
French and Spaniards.

mouth of the Frith of Forth, fur the construction
of which a considerable sum has been granted by
Parliament, is already 20 feet high; and as eve'',
difficulty has been overcome, there is nu doubt
that in two seasons more it will be completely

Eddystone, but spreads out inure at the base,
which is 42 feet diameter, and will be 116 feet in
height, which is 23 feet higher than the Eddystone.
