BlA2SI0N0ETOsE.-TuE Ni}w Cong, FLOUEt, ANDla BREA-i Co0mPASY.-Fot some timte past active exertionsbave been makinF to establish In the city " a Corn, Floir, and Bread Company, which the geRtlemen concerned in the speculation say will be calcu- lated to supply, exclusively, the whole mnetropolis with these indis. pensable arttices of life. To induce persons to become membero, a pamphlet, written by a person named Maton, has been industrioualy eirculated. It is addrested to the Lord Mayor, as the individtual most fitted, on account of his station, to take cognizance of the sub- ject of bread in the metropolis; and, from whatever source it pro. ceeded, an impression has gone abroad, that his Lordship not only patronized the new Company, but took an active part in the forma- tion of the estabHshmenL In the course of the last fortnigltt a number of gentlemen, we understand. came to the Allansion.houie, to consult his Lordship upon the stibject, and one of the nsembers of the new Company tbnnaily applied to hid Lordship, with the re- quest that he would place hitmselt at the head of the proposed in- stitution. The LORD AIAYOR, we are informed by one of the parties wiho consulted his Lordship (for the application was rather private), in answer to the speculators, expressed his respect for the motives of the gentlemiien who had been persuaded to allow their names to be put at the head of tbe coucern, and said, he knew them to be mnen of too much lionoar to permit the existence of a doubt that they considered that such an intitution was just, and would be beneficdal: but he entertained far different views of the subject, and could not consent to have his name made use of in the mannier proposed, as he felt that stuch an institution would be notlhing less than a combina- tion, destructive of the freedom and lIa opespition to the first prin- ciples of trade. it was the very tendency ot institutions having ob- 3ecta which w ere attainable by private coDtpetition, to degenerateinto the moat intolerable mornopolies. Long experience anti reflection had fixed in his mind very desidedopinions on the ptinciples of trade, which he was convinedel could only flourish for national be- nefit bya free competition. He regarded all combinations or mono- polies in casea where individual exertioa, capital, artd enter rise, were adequate to an undertakinig, as not only useas,butin thehigh eat degree pernicious, as they were calculated to deprive individuals of the fruit oftheir industry, and ofthat prospect of eminence which was the grand incentiveto alaborioeus ndbnourabnecourse. Tiade worked, its way, when divested of impediments, infinitely better, andi more beneficially to the community, that when it was under the dominion of companies; and indeed the fotndation of monopolies however eloquently they might mnake exbibtionts of benevolent and disinterested motives, was nothing more tlhan a trap to catch noney with which to cram the pockets of irndividuas. To these genreral principles lie admitted there were exceptions in cases, As be had intl- mated, where individualcapital was insufficient, and in the infancy of trade. He had uniformly declined, for. these reasons, lending his name or engaging in any of the numerous schemtes aet afloat, fow- ever alluring; and many of these schemes had turned out very ad- vantageously to the subscriberr, however disstrous they had proved to. the unfortuniate purchasrYs of the sliatesof those subscribers. But tvlhatever his objections might be.to;the genera systemn, there was one ground on which he could never cOlieent to sanction theintitu- tion. It appeared to be proposed tpon: a sweeping imrputation of dishonesty and malpractice boldly thtows upon an extenLsive and entire body of traders. To. effect the. object of condem. nation, a letter had, be perceived, been publlahed by one James bMaton, addressed to him as chief magat,ge ad~tltlated in all quarters. Thia work represented the whole, trn.d,pSeers, journeynmts, and apprentices, with hardlv an exception.a, tbean infamous cheats in existence, as defrauding their,customers iteverf possible manner, and poisoning them into the bargain by the con- stanlt use of the most deleterious ingtedients. He isad carefuill read the book, and he nmust say, that it appeared to him to be a gress calumny ; aurd that he believed the welter to be unworthy of credit, even upon his ovwn showing; for he was, he said, aior,eyt man baker who had worked in a great variety of tsatzans, en4 always readily entered into every practice of fragd that wsro, posect to him; nor did it appesr that le had any cOipUneCtiOuavst imgs until he coulld not get ufidciett tnoney, sand then le erned roupd, and excTlimed agmirnst the reguery he had blcome a disciple Ito. he 'ld not seem, in fact, to be actuated by any hanett feelings intnakingthoseexpositions, but,onttbecontrary his realmotiveswere clearly developed.

'Il'hese were the days of delusion. i%'ew projects were daily, blazoned forth to attract the credulity of the public ; and whatever they mnight be, when the names of bankers, philanthiropists, and members of ParliaRment were procured, thev were sure of temporary success, though the ruin of tile aharelsolderg was sture to be the con- sequence. He could not consent to throw imputations zipon an entire body, or join in a ruinous project-against as great a proportion of honest and deserving men as any othier body in the commtrunity.

BOW.STaREE.-.Yestarday a tall and very well-looking girl, seemiingly about nineteerL years of age, and whose extreme zimpli- city and modesty of demeanour strongly interested those whio saw and heard her, came to the office, accompanied by - Lawson, onie of tlse day patrol. It appeared that at a very late hour on Mlondav night, Lawson, a day patrol, liappened to be irn the street, though not on duty, when he met this young girl, who was wvalking ut a slow pace, with a small bundle in her hand, a-nd dreniched with rain. and looking about as if in search of a place of shelter. He thoughi her mnanner totally diff'erent from girls whom he was in the habit of seeing at that hour of the night, and hie was induced to question hier as to who she was, and where she was gzoing? Shebursttinto tears, and said she was a total stranger in London, and knew not where to go. She then toldI the following storv to Lawson :-Hyer name shte said vvsLc-rlrtin, anid she wa ntieoavlag nerW bige, in Suf a k She had for a long time been in the service of a lady of Irisli fainily, of the name of Roilasoni, who re- sided near Woodbrldge. Five weeks ago her mistress, who had been seriously itl for thiree years, went to Bright -n, where, at the end of a monrth, ahe died; and her s&n, who lived vwithi hier, having occasion to goto Ireland, the establishmnent was altogetherbroken up. and she (Lucy Martin) was under the necessity, eithner of r'e turning immediately to Woodbridge, or seeking a situation at Brighiton ; and, thiinking she was more likely to succeed at the latter place, she determined to remnain a fevv days at least with the people of the house where her mistress had lodged. Inquiries were made in her behalf', and in a day or two she was hired by an elderly lady- like womas, who called herself Mrs. Einmerson, and who w,as re- siding there apparent17 alone. Sbe seemied extremiely- kind and Food.niatuired; and at uje ecad of a week she c-ame to London, brine. tog the applicant with her. They came by a stage-coach o'n AMondy to (as sthe understood) C;haring-cross, where they alight- ed, and her mistress's; and her own luggage were put into a hack- ney-coach, which was nearly filled with it, and when her mis- tres got in. there wats nio rom for a second person. She, therefore, told the applicant to walk as fast as she could to "1 Willim-street, Temple-.bar." She endeavoured to keep up with thle hacknev-coacii, buxt it was soon out ofasight, and she then found her way to Temple- bar, but could find no such place as William-street. Utterly at a loss whet to do,shewandered about until she met with Lawson. The latter advised her to go imnmediately to arespectable house, which he would direct hier kno mma proe..." a boil, mmd t6 im.c the btst or her waytowaTds XVoodbridge in the mnorning. She said, she feared she could not reach Woodbridge, for she had but a few shillines in her ock(t e ite stock being in one of her trunks. Thie paitroi took gerto ahos where he knew she would be treated properly, and procured a bed for her. Yesterday morning, about 12 o'clock, hie met her again In the street, wet as before, end herdothes bespattered with m-ud- She said her money was not sufficient to take liar to Woodbridge, andI she was in hopes of finding her miistress. Lawson, uipon this, very humanely brought her before the magistrate. Mr. HLLS uestonedher, anid she repeated-the story she had told to h ato,wihte addition that her father and mother had bededfrseveral yeears. and that she had no relations that she knew of. The worthy Magistrate said hie commiserated her Situlationl, and would at all events do erery thing in his power to protect her from ruin. He thesi sient Lawson to Charing-cross; huit thlat, it turned out was not the inn ; and Lawson was told tliat, from the description of die yoang womnss, it was; most likely the Old Bell, Holborn, at which the coach stopped.- The patrol was thien directed to use every exertionzto trace the old lady; and meanwhile the soor girl was takeis p,roper care of, until something could be done for her. She, in a Him le bitt earnest meazner, expressed her gratitude to the miagistrate for his; kindness. John Cramer, As "shabby-genteel" looking youing man, of shozt stature, was brought up, charged as follows :-.At hal fpast 9 o'clook on Mlonda evenLing he walked deliberately into the shop of Messrs. Drake ant{Co., dra era in Long-.acre, snatched two shawls fromn the window, and ran oW h'len taken in James-street by the shop- ma! whio pursued himT, he handed the shawls fromn undler his coat- anid said, " Hr is your property. I did not wish to deprive you of it." When told that lie mnust go to the wvatchhouse and be pro- secuted, lie said " he was glad of it ; that was% just what he want.. ad." In answer to soime questions, he said he was destitute of a home or friends. He covered hiis face with his hands during the examination, and declined offering any observation.-.He was fully committee. MARALBtOROUGH esTRE19T.y-esterday the adjouened hearing of a complaint, preferred by Mrs. Soph~ie Ginsber, a respectable wo- muan residing in Fetter-lane, aginst 1ir. L-evi, a pawnbroker, in T)QOnn.stTeet, Tottenhati-comrrt-road, came on for finial decision be- fore AIr. CONANTr, the Mlagistrate. It apwrd tht Ars. Gimiber, wishing to get possession of a piece of ris lien pon reasonable terms, purchased, a duplicate of a 25. yard piece from a Airs. Underhlill, of Vera-street, Clare.market, which wasi Pawned at the shop of Air. Levi for 28s., and for this duplicate Aira. Giomber paid hits.

Upou making this discovery, Ars.Gim-s bes applied.to Air. Levi to rettern her money, aint take back his bad artile, as it was an imposition practised upon her ; but iVr.. Levi demu-rred, and alleged that he hael himself been imposed upon, as he never would have lent 28s- upon the- pledpeifhe had not supposed it to be Irish linen. " Yes," said .Airs. Gimber, "- that Is all very well; but do you suppose, that if it was Irish linen of such texture al;it appeared, any one i-n their senues wouldI have pawnea it with you for 211s. yhen it is commton to lend two gamneas upon such an article ?" Air. Levi, however, positively refused to refund, and referred Mrs. Gimber for remuneration to AIVrs. U-nderhill, of wvhom she boughit the ticket. Accordingly Mfrs. Underhill, w'ho is by pro. fession a wholesale dealer in pawnbrokers' duplicates, was brought forward, andi she said that she bad, in the way of her business, purchased the ticket, amongst a lot, from a mian named Bewren, who keeps a~n a.la-naode beef shop niear the CobeLrg Theatre: and was also in the same line as hersel-a 11 tichet-broker." Thi4 tic'ket stood her in~ 3s., the same sum as shie sold it to Aire. 0-imber, because as Mlrs. limber was an acquaintance, s6he let her have it without any profit.

He was- inthcQtc_ of answer- ing, when he received a violent blow in the faceftiom the defendant, whom in consequence he collared, end notwichtcanding a most vio- lent resistance, dragged him to the watchbouse. The defendant denied the ch3rge in tom, and gave the foiowing version of tbe tmansaction :_He was standing talking quietly -ith twro neighbours, and was not in the remotest degree wsgtiig, when the constable camein p'and desired them to move off ie replioe would not move till he knew his autboritv. The constable elied, " But y'ou shall move," and gave him a pusb, and on his stil per- sisting in disputing the right of the contable to interfere, the latter seized him roughly and dregged him away. All this time theacom- plainant had not produced bis stff, altbhough urged SO to defendant, atiast thinking he had no authority, reeotes his sio lence by striking him. The watchhouse.keeper, he declred, re ed at first w take the charge. One ot the gentlemen who was standing with the deferndant cm- firmed this account in every particular.

HATToN-GAR.E'..-On Monday last, an itinerant vender of freits was charged byi an inhabitant of High-street, Pentonvillc, with being concerntd with othemt in creating a disturbsnce, bv ing for sale, ansd exposing, vegetables and fisb, on the roa ean foot.pavement of that populous thoroaghfare. The complainant stated, that the inhbbitants of Higb-street wire co2npelled to seek assistance from that office, having in vam ap,ted to the Commissioners both of Roads and Pavements, for tVe re-` moval of a nuisance which was disgracefuL to the neighbourhood aed productive f serious injury to their business, as wvell as to the repose of their families, tbis kind of market being kept up till 12 o'dockatnight.

UI.JON5.HALL.-A yoang boy,named JackPiage, who, a,ltlo,~Ai only between 12 and 1lyears of age, has been repeatedly brought'to this office on various charges of theft, and conmimitted thence to each of thecounty prisons, was yesterday again brought befbo tbeldrrinR Magistrate, for stealing a rope of onions fro3sa a stall in the Boreug Market. A constable atated, that he observed the prisoner and anoter "'ow carrying each a rope of onions; knowing their cbaractera, and beisng contident that they had stolen the onions, he went up and seex-cd them both; but the prisoner's comppanion, an expert toung thief, wheni taken, slipped out of his jacket, leaving it it the ends of the constable, aud ran off. Page made an attempt to follow the exum. lec;buthis icket being a tight fit, lhe was unabletodisengage nmsel from lt, and was held in custody A person in the market proved that the onions were etalen fin hisstal t.hat morning. Hall, the chief constable, stated, that the prisoner was a nost in- veterate young thief; although he bad been so frequently imnprison. ed in Horsenionger..lane anid Brixton Geols, the punishment hiad,no sort of goed effdct upon bhim; fot immediately on his liberation he fell to work again the old way. The snlagistrate obsered, Ithat he really, did not know what toi do with so incorrigiblearogue; the Punishment even of thtetreaditl, it anpeared, had nor made the slightest change in his h%bit mfbr the better: and he (the Magistrate) was persuaded. that untli an Act of' Paiiament Passed for adding the punishieni of flngging to that of imprisonment on all Young delinqueit under the ae otb 16, very little benefical effects wnd be produced from imprion. ment and work at the wheel alone. The Gov'ernor of Brixton gaol who happenied to be in the of.lce and heard clie worthy Magisirate's remarks, saitl, that he ws. con- vinced, that if the punisthnQt of flogging the bovs was added to that Off "ofinrisonlmint, the gaot would not be half jo fu of yeutr. fli offeniders as it was at present. The tread..mW was ne punish.. ment to boys, he said, for there was no toil in the 'work for tbema, al- though the nmen felt fatiguedl occasiorally, lpairticularly those of robust and groDss habits of body, froma theO constant motion of the feet on the wheel : yet this never occarred 'with acti-o and: slender youthis, as they uniformly descendled from the maczhine, appa-. reuitly as little exhaus,tea as when they, ,omumenced the wvork. The AMagistrate, after bavling mnade some further remarks on ten necessity Of inflicting corporal punishroent on young offenders, as well as imprisonment, commritted the prisoner for one runuth to Bi'x~t en ngaol.
