Bow-sv,r sws, Saturda y.-A'jeralemuan named Rciche,sbecla laid a cemplaint at this office a few davs 91go, against Wm. Dunn, the driver of the hackney chariot No. 706, for refusing to take a fare, when legally required so to do; and thereupon a sumnnorns wvas i; sued to the owner of the chaviot, calling upon him, to appear, with the driver, before the Masgistrate on a duy named, to answer the said complaint. Theowner took no sort of notice of this summons, but on the day appointed the MIagistrate received a letter from the driver, of which the following is a verbati,rs copy:-" For the Sitings Ma. gestraat of the Day Att Bow-street. Sir, heaving other Birsenea.' to Attend, Tia not Convenient for me to Apear. *Vm. Duhnn." Upon reccipt of this curious epistle, the Magistrate issued his war. rant for the apprehension, and this day they were brought forward to their answer. Air. Reichenbach stated, that between one and two o'cjock last Monday morning, he applied for a coach on the CharleE.strect stand, ailM the waterman put him into the chariot in question, where he sat more than five minutes betbre the driver matte his appearancethe waterrman savingl he believed he was gone to a soup.house. At last he came, anid Mr. Rleichenbach told him he deserved to be sutmroned for detaining him so long. " What fo-r ?" said the driver, very sulkily " I recken a lhackneyceoaclmann is to get his uper as well as other people. Do you meau to summon ne ?" Ar. Reich- enbach replied tlp he believed he should. since he was so insolent abent it. " Wh, then, get out of the chariot," said coschee, "' for I'll be hanged if I drive younat aUl." And eventually Mlr. Reichen. bach wa~ obliged to get out and take another coach. The driver, in his defence before the Magistrate, atmitted refusing to drive Mr. leichenbach,aud said his reason for so doings w this:- Mr. ReichenbaciL threatened to summon binm for not bemg with his coach, and therefore he thought he rmight as well be sunmmoned for refusing to have any thing to do with him. The cagistrate told him his conduct wasvery wrong, and he had made it still worse by sriting the insolent lettr above desetibed. Biut lie would not punish him from any vindictive feelitlg, and there. fore, instead of fining him 31. as he might h4ve done, he should mitigate the penalty to 20s and costs. This he declared h? was. totally unable to pay, and he was com- mitted for 21 days to the fouse of Correction. The owner was fined I Os. and costs, for not attending to the summons in the first instance; and Sir R. B: RNIE told him he should lay the whole cose before the Coommissioners, at the Hackney.coaclh Office, wlio in al probabi. liiy, would revoke his licence. MAltLBorOUG Er.STBET.-Oa SAturday information was given at this office, that a most atrocious attempt had been made the night before to assassinate Mrs. Jarrin, the wife of Mr. Jarrin, an Italian confectioner, carrying on business at No. 123, New Bond-street ; and on the circumstance being communicated to Mr. DYE:R, the sit. ting Dlagistrate, lie despatched Seofield, the Oflicer, to make the ne- cessary invesugation of the occurrence, which appeore4 to have takeii place in the following manner :.-Mrs. Jaarrin vho is a verv flne woman, bas been in the habit of attending on the Lueincs of tlve sbop, and generally had her seat close to tie sbop-window. On Friday night, about 10 o'clock, while in her usual place, she was suddenly alarmed by the sm4shirg of the window-glass, and several glass or- nanrents w;hich stood in the shop windowv, aind at the sarine in. stant she heard something pa&s rapidly ill front of her breast with a whizzing noise. 'rhe sbock so conipletely overcame her, that she shrieked and fainted away. There happened at the tim'e to be no person in the shop but RlIrs. Jarrin herself, 'but her ahricka brought her husband and the servants to hbzr asistance, and in a little time she was restoreal suffciently to give the above account of. what had happened. Upon examnining the window, it was diocovar- ed that some substance about the size of a swan shot hb4 ieee a pane of the glass, without otherwise facturing it, pitci?iloppo site to the spot where Afrs. Jarrin was sittidg, but fortunately tbr her saf'ety there stoed in the window a glass cylinder,agitte convexity oft which tlhe ball must have strack, and cuttin tho cy linder slightly through wns turned, and glanced of romts direction, therebysaving the life 0f Mrs. Jarzln. A farther er being made, the ball itself was found upon the flor co e teneti, h&ving, when turned by the cylinder, atmick ag a ptse f iron attached to the counter.
