OUTRAGE ON THE LORD MAYOR'S SUITE.  The highly meritorious exertions of, the ltizht Hon. the toot 14ayor, in punishing the &antis, and ekposing the atrocious conduct of several venders of human food, whose poisonous substitutes for bread, sound meat, &c. have, no doubt, sent many a fellow-creature prematurely to the grave, calls for the undivided admiration and gratitude of every inhabitant of this metropolis. Upwards of 1200 loaves of bad bread (or deficient in weight) have been seized within a few days. in the markets, his Lordship has been obeyed in every instance, save one, Clarendon-market, where several individuals have disgraced themselves by a ferocious impatience of magisterial authority, and by a wicked and barbarous resistance to the laws ; in one instance some fellows grasped their knives with an apparent intention to commit an assault on the Peace Officers in attendance on his Lordship, when Peace Officer Cox, of the Head Office,skrujk the kAlow down, and took away his knife. : At four o'clock on Saturday, an investigation: into this riot took place before the Magistrates of the Head Office of Police. 'The Lord Mayor attended, when a great number of witnesses were examined. The persons who were principally concerned in this outrage, eye. cially tke man who jumped on Bradshaw, are known. A regard for the due administration of justice forbids our publishing more of the investigation at present. By an account from College-street Office, his Lordship was attacked by some butchers, when stones were thrown at his Lordship and suite. The horse and foot police immediately attended, and the disturbers fled in all directions. Bradshaw, one of his Lordship's Staffmea, has been desperately wounded on- the head and ribs by a sharp instrument. There is little doubt but that he would have been murdered on the spot, were it not for the humane interference of Mr. Coghlan, Who lives near the Market, and protected him ; he is still in a bad way, Undismayed by this atrocious conduct, the Lord Mayor afterwards visited other markets, and con-, tinued to seize on every article which' he foiled to bate been fraudulently wade up, light in weight, or unfit for domestic use. _ _ _  Yesterday, a little after two o'clock, another investigation took plate at the Head Office, on this subject, when three persons, named Michael, John, and Stephen Devoy, undirwent as examination. Michael and John I)evoy were committed for further examination. Satutday morning the Lord Mayor found it necessary to make more seizures in Clarendon. Market, when he met *ith most reprehensible resistance. Friday, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor visited the baking establishment of Fitzsimons, him Wißiarn, street, and seized a quantity of bread; he had previously seized several loaves of bread ai the same house. His Lordship was walking away, when a voice -called I out, " My Lord. Mayor, come back r his LOrdship re-1 turned, when the person who had called out shewed his' Lordship into Mr. Fitzsimons bake-house, and pointed' . out to him nearly a barrel of mashed potatoes, which were fraudulently intended to be mixed up with flour, add sold to the Public as bread—a crowd immediately assembled, who seemed disposed to demolish the windows, which his Lordship prevented. This substitute for bread was exhibited through the City ; it is' understood that Fitzsimons will be prosecuted..i46id.  Fitts.-.This morning, at bre.° clock, an alarming Ere' broke out in the house of. Mr. KIRBY, the WindsorCattle, Hainnte.rutkith.iihich was totally burned down, and a house adjoiuing much damaged, before the Barnes were extinguished. ivlr.
