BOW-STREET.
BOW-STREET. LOVE IN THE KITCHEN.—Among the watch- ( house prisoners brought before Mr. HALLS, Wed- nesday, was a fine fat bouncing dame, named Elizabeth Bone, and a sedate, full-sized, middle- aged man, named Henry Backler, who had been sent to durance, in the middle of the preceding night, by a Mr. Finlayson, for making love in his kitchen, contrary to special agreement. Elizabeth Bone is, as we have already hinted fat florid, and forty; and she was-cookmaid. to -the Finlayson above-mentioned, and a capital cook she was too—clean, adroit, sober, honest and in- dustrious, as Mr. Finlayson readily admitted.— But unfortunately she fell in love; and by-falling in love she fell out with her master and by fal- ling out with her master she fell into troubles and disputes and all these ins and outs ended in her getting out of place and into the watchhouse. It appeared, by Mr. Finlayson's account, that he engaged Betty Bone as his cookmaid some five or six weeks ago, with an excellent character, and they covenanted with each other that, she should have 110 followers—-especially mule ones. Betty Bone cheerfully assented to this covenant and Mr. Finlayson Mattered himself that, at her time of life, there was little danger of her breaking it; but tli^y were both out in their reckoning. Be- fore one .short, fortnight had elapsed, Mr. Finlay- son found Betty Bone seated before a Comforta- ble tire in the kitchen, and the above-mentioned Henry Buckler on his knees before Betty Bone— making love to her Mr. Finlayson upbraided Betty with her brëach of contract; and Retty bold him it was of no use talking—it she didn't suit the place, why the place didn't suit her and the sooner he got himself another cook the better." The fact was, as we have been credibly informed, Mr. Bhckler had promised to make Betty Bone I- bone of his bone and therefore her breacliof the no follower" contract was not to be very much wondered at. Mr. Finlayson himself saw the matter in matrimonial light, and contented himself with Betty Bone's notice to quit, and her promise that the courtship should be totally suspended until that notice expired—for, as he said, he was resolved to have no followers. Now it so happened, that before Betty Bone's notice expired, the housemaid went away, and Betty Bone was requested to remain until another could be got. This she readily undertook to do, and every thing went on very quietly until Tuesday night last. On that night Mr. Finlayson had com- pany at his house, and at a very late hour he learned that Betty Bone had got her sweetheart in the kitchen again. He was exasperated at hearing this Betty was bold inherdefence; her le sweetheart. Mr. Backler, vowed that wherever Betty Bone was, there would he be also; high words ensued, and at last, Mr. Finlayson, in his anger, sent them both to the watchhouse.! This wasjthe very head and form of Betty Bone's offence; and Mr. Finlayson assured the Magis- trate he had no wish to press the matter, nor would he have sent them to the watchhouse if they had not defied him. Betty Bone, in her defence, pleaded that her promise not to admit Mr. Backler expired with her notice to quit; and that as she remained after the expiration of that notice to suit her master's convenience, she thought she was fully justified insulting her own, by again admittinghersuitor. His Worship observed, that she had done very wrong for no man ought to have his house in- truded upon by strangers against his will. He then discharged them both, with an admonition for their government but Mr. Finlayson told Betty she should never offend again in his house, and therefore he inti(I tier the wages due to her, and left her and her lover to wander where they would. TOLL-TAKING.—Felix Webb, the toughest toll- taker on the Kensington trust, the Sallie ,who oven ventured to defy Mr. Cobbett, appeared before the Magistrate, to answer the coinplaint of a funny old man, name IGrcenway. This Mr. Greenway was goingout of town the morning in his one-horse-shay," and paid the toll to Felix as he passed through Hammersmith gate but when he returned in the evening Felix again demanded toll." Why, you know 1 paid you this morning," said Mr. Greenway. I know nothing—but that you're an old thief, so hand over the inojuises," said Feiix. Mr. Greenway forthwith handed out a shilling, together with the morning ticket, and told Felix to take the toll at 'his peril. Felix, however, in the gaiety of his heart, did take it, and then said Mr. Greenway, Now, I'll tell you what, master Felix, you've often put this rig upon me before, and I'll be hanged if I don't pull you this time!" iluji away, and be hanged as soon as you like, you old thief replied Felix, at the same time adding, between joke and earnest, You know I gave you the shilling again—so tip back thecoppers if you please, Mister G)-i,n-a)vag F" illr. Greenway knew that ere were all gammon, and, touching his tit under the off flank, he toddled a.wa) to town without more bother. Felix left his defence to his Solicitor, who con- tended that the Magistrate could pot convict on the unsupported testimony of a witness who was to receive half the penalty. His Worship, however, was of a different opi- nion.—" Suppose," said he, the complainant had been on horseback—do you mean to contend that unless he carried his witness on. a pillion behind him, the toll-taker could not be convicted The Solicitor said he might have brought some I bystander as a witness; but the Magistrate thought it very-possible that bystanders were not always to be had; and therefore he convicted unhappy Felix in the penalty of i-)I.Nvitli costs. I)Y A woman of the name of Lydia Jones,of Coal- brookdale, (known by the name of Lyl WIlliams) was offered by her husband for sale in Wenlock market on Monday. The Crier of the town proclaimed her to be sold, and she was produced with a halter round her waist, and was instantly purchased by one Aston, of Coalbrookdale, for the sum of 10s. a quart of ale, and paying the toll. The parties then retired to the Plough Inn, where the money was paid, and the evening spent with great glee by the three parties. Each ap- peared satisfied.

MISCELLANEOUS./
MISCELLANEOUS. D'Ablancourt, to whom the public owes many elegant translations, had been harassed with a paiiiful disease. He could bear the torture no longwi,' and determined to end his miseries by starving himself. His friends surrounded him and convinced him of the criminality and folly of his conduct, but in vain, for he had gone already too far, in point of fasting, to recover. And it was lie who used to say, with excellent sense, that Piinces ought to study the Greek and Latin classics, since the writers of Greece and Rome would tell them what their preceptors d-artid riot to intimate." The Emperor of Morocco's sons are brought up in the following singular iiiaiiitcr :-As soon as they are born, the Emperor sends for a Moor of fortune (not one of the first people of rank), and delivers his son to him, to bring him up as his own. The child never sees his father again till he is twelve years old. The Moor to whose care he has been delivered is then ordered to bring him to Court, where he is examined by a Council, re- specting the Koran, laws of the country, &c. and upon this rigotirous examination depends the fate of the Moor. If the Emperor approves of the education ofhissoll, the fost(-P- father's fortune is made if not, he is immediately cut to pieces in the Emperor's presence. NEW IN VENTION.—We have seen Mr. Lennie's- new invention it is a curious piece of mechanism, comprising a complete fowling piece-barrel, 33 inches long, calibre five-eights of an inch, deto- nating lock, butt with prpppr angle, ramrptl, &c. &c. a complete fishing "rod about 12, feet' long, dog-call, looking glass, and snuff-box with pen, in the small compass of an ordinary sized walking stick, Weighing about three pounds and a half. When used a a fowling piece, it con- tains a flask with powder and shot sufficient for twelve or fourteen chargers, and can be used as a walking stick or fishing rpd, loaded and primed with the greatest safety, tts portability is such that it can be transformed and re-transformed to all its purposes, including, loading, priming, and firing, in the short space of three minutes,— Mr. Lennie is a native of Kirkwall, in Orkney, add is now on his way to Edinburgh and Lon- don, for the purpose of laying his invention be- fore the, Societies for the Encouragement of Arts. Inverness Courier. The Berlin papers report the following:—The widow of a public functionary of this city, lost a favourite dog which died some weeks ago. She wished to have it interred in the tomb of herlius- band, and accordingly otfered the erhurshwardens 2000 crowns for permission to do so. A demand so extraordinary was of course refused. She then obtained, at a considerable expense, leave to bury her defunct friend in the garden of one of her neighbours. Before the funeral ceremonies were performed, shehadhim laid out in a mahogany coffin, the head crowned with myrtle, and covered with a robeof satin decorated with lace, to the admiration of the curious, to whom, as they ap- proached, she caused cake and wine to be distri- buted. The strange occurrence collected such crowds of people, and the tumult became so great that the intervention of the police became neces- sary, who were obliged to have recourse to arms before they could restore quiet and peace. It is worthy of remark, that this said widow, whose conduct in every other respect is perfectly con- formable to the rules of sound reason, still visits regufarly I tkie fonit) of her lwisband, and has not permitted a handkerchief, which is attached to the comn, to be washed, being that with which she used to wipe away the perspiration from the forehead of her husband during his last illness, and which she still uses in wiping away the tears which she sheds for him, though hetlas been. dead along-time. A NEW COLONY-It has been discovered that the Island of Tristan da Cutha, which lies in south lat. 87, 6. west long. 11. 44, and which was nevtvr known to have been inhabited before the year 1816, has now upon it, living, in great hap- piness, meivand 3 women. The Berwick, Capt. Jetl'ry, from London to> Van Dieman's Land, sent her boat on shore on the 25th of March, 1S23.— The sailors were surprised at finding an English- man, of the name of Glass, formerly a corporal m the artillery, and-the rest of the above-mentioned population." Glass gave so favourable an account of the island, which is only nine miles in diame- ter, that it may be of importance to vessels, on their passage to Van Dieman's Land, to ouch there they will besureofa favourable reception. There are great plenty of pigs, gqats potatoes, •'cabbages, &c. abundance of fish, excellent water. This little colony had at the time upwards of thirty tons of potatoes to dispose otK The is. land is very fertile —in fact, every thing desirable to settlers and Glass declared, that if they had but a few good women more there the place would be called an Earthly Paradise. He is a sort of Governor at Tristan da Cutha, by the ap- pointment of the rest, on account iQf his military character, and he traces in a small schooner to the Cape of Hope,, with the oil of the sea- elephant and the skin of the seal, which they catch in great abundance. There is a mountain upon the island, 8"jOO feet in height: the crew ef the Berwick saw it at the distance ofMrniles. They intended to take on board part of the product of the island, but were obliged to make sail, as the breeze became vary fresh. The following statement of the number of con- troverted appeals and writs of error, determined in thoHouse of Lords by every Chancellor, from.

Nor must it be omitted that; since the Union, the Irish appeals have come in addition to the natural uicrease of the business of the House of Lords.
THE DISCOVERY SHIPS.
THE DISCOVERY SHIPS. THE ships destined to proceed Oil another voy- age of Polar discovery—namely, the Fury, the Hecla, and the Griper, now lying off Deptford, excite a good deal of cut During'each day this week the vessels have fewest visited by con- siderable munbers-ef -persons an-A admission en board has not been reused to any pers i," 1;1 of res- pectable demeanour. The several officers in par- ticular, most of whom went out on the previous voyage, are most attentive and obliging to the visiters. Captain Parry again goes out he was recently on a visit to his father, Dr. Parry, of Bath, and in tills vbyaige'he v;ill be accompanied by Captain Franklin, who went with the first ex- pedition. So much curiosity do these discovery ships ex- cite, that there are daily seef around them many yachts, sailing bo!.ts, '&c. helonil\g- to private gentlemen. The appearances of th~ discovery- ships has something grotesque from the shapeless character that is given to them by the precautions of wood and iron works Li^rc-duced to protect the inmates from icebergs. They thirdly -display what we should call either head or stern so that their shape is The plank and wood works on She olitside, forming a sort of general to oii v e the vessels a lumbering appearance; but the in- teriors are equally curious and Original, with ex- tra iron knees, cork c.i.seme.its. &c.

Johnson; it was a subject on which the' various persons on board could not be freely spoken to but from the little we heard in the- way of general conversation, and however true it may be, we mention it in the way of kmirsay. It aopeared that the unfortunate gentleman had been. in a very despo-nding state, and even that (like Mr. Macintosh, whose case in the city was men- tsoned a few days ago) he had been accustomed to the use of opium, as means of obtaining relief to his drooping spirits. Tiiose who knew and had observed the deceased, spoke of tV.e event with more regret than (apparently) surprise there had been observel about him an unaccountable low- ness of spirits, and if he resofei' to opium as re- lief, lie consigned himself f/ an "evil genius" that was but too likely to destroy him the moment he failed to make the r'etji.Lsite sacrifices.
TIlE GREAT FIGHTS ~N<4Atl…
TIlE GREAT FIGHTS ~N<4Atl COLNRROOK. THE <rand match on Tuesday was between the brave Ned Turner and P. I nids, for 100 sove- reigns aside. The ring was formed in a large meadow and it was thinly attended from the un- certainty of a fight. The seconds were Maurice Delany and M'Kenzie for Inglis. and Josh. Hud- son and Paddington Jones for Turner. Betting 6 to -1 on [nglis from youth at 21, and no dispa- ragement in weight. Round 1. Turner placed the first hit on his ad- versary's breast (heavy) through his guard, broke away, and floored his adversary as if shot, with the left hand, fighting as usual with the right foot in advance (loud cheering and even bettiny). 2. Turner placed a right handed hit upon his adversary's pimple, broke ground, and succeeded in the same stratagem.— Inglis returned away from distance. Turner placed another hit upon his adversary's throat. A rally with much de- termination followed, in which the science of Turner strongly prevailed. Turner broke ground, and had it all his own way, as Inglis could not reach him: it was a long round. Turner did as 'he liked, and threw his adversary. 3. Turner out-fought his adversary, and hit him heavy by a swinger up with the left hand.— Inglis was too good to be denied, and he placed a good body hit. Turner fell in a twist. 4. Turner had this round as all his own, and with both hands, in his adversary's frontispiece, kept the claret upon a regular flow. The only question was, will Ned's stamnia last? A doubt- ful case, thought some of his admirers. Turner went down worse for toil, weakly. 5. Inglis made a turn in this fight by making some exchanges. Turner went down weak, and became a piper. Betters silent. li. Inglis hit his adversary, but not home, and Turner went down weak. 7 and S. Turner was distressed, but his oppo- nent could not reach him. 9. A short round. Turner uncorked the claret in another part of the olfactory organ, and fell from weakness. 10. Inglis got exhausted, and a gay round took place in a manly rally Turner's science gave him the best, but he fell from exhaustion. 11. Both down for the minute. 12. Turner drew fresh claret in torrents from everv organ and fell weak. ]3; It, and 15. Turner kept the claret now- ing; but there were no symptoms of denial to it. He was fighting fine against superior stamina. lO. Turner made two of the finest scientific hits with one h 1114 ever seen, but he fell. Until the %olli round the question was, whether Inglis would stay to get punishment; but there was nothing like a negative about him. The -I'.ith round ended a most gallant fight, when IngUs was declared the winner. U p to the last round Turner had the oet of fighting, but went down weak at the end of each, and it was not until the last touch of manhood had left him, that his seconds gave in for him. The head of Inglis was a disfigurement rarely seen, but his braver) was undeniable. The battle lasted one hour and IS minutes, and it was all fighting. Read, the Chelsea Aspirer, and Cooper, the Gipsy. This battle was for1 a purseof20 sovereigns, and ¡ a trial worth 10 f. Cooper led at going off in fine gay fighting for six rounds. He floored Read in the first round but in the latter part of the bat- tle he was pinked ia every round with his adver- sary's right hand, and at the expiration, of 28 mi- nutes he was obliged to yield the palm of viett; ry to a better man.

BEER TRADE,.I
BEER TRADE, I The Bill for the regulation of the beer trade, I altering publicans' licences, &c. as amended by the Committee. has just been printed by order of the House of Commons and from the following descriptions of some of the clauses, it will appear that some most important alterations-da such trade are contelllpla tell-lhenltions that must consider- ably affect existing property, and thaLmust do a good deal towards effecting what is termed an opening," of the beer trade. We purposely omit noticing those clauses which regard alterations of the duties, as they were detailed in the Parlia- mentary Report; but the following are in a great degree new:— The subsequent clauses state what shall be beer. —The contents of a barrel of beer to be 86 gallons and duty to be charged accordingly, ithout any allowance. Brewers may retail beer from the premises where brewed, and an;) persons may sell beer brewed by any other brewer, in casks of five gallons content, and two dozen quart bottles, to be consumed else- where, on taking out an excise licence for that purpose. But such licences not to authorise the selling of beer to be drank on the pi-eitt ises. Penalty on retailing beer without licence, or without renewing the same 1. Li ensed brewers who have retailed beer from their breweries, discharged from Penalties.

DEATH OF LIEUT. JO ISST0N…
DEATH OF LIEUT. JO ISST0N OF THE FURY DlSCOVEllY SHIP. WEDNESDAY morning a most shocking occur- rence took place on board the Fury Discovery vessel, lying off Deptford. Lieut. Johnston hav- ing been promoted to the ship fur the Northern Expedition, received from his brother on Tues- day night a double barrelled gu.i. Previous to this time 'he had been entreated by his friends not to proceed with the expedition, but endeavour to obtain his discharge. His application had been forwarded to the Lords of the Admiralty, and Thursday morning the answer was expected to arrive per post. The. circumstance, however, seemed to weigh heavily upon his mind, and about 7 o'clock in tlle Inornin, loading the gun which had been sent him by his brother, he fastened the butt-end in a sling, and attaching it to his foot, placed the muzzle in his mouth and fired it off. The ball carried away the whole of the lower part of the -nrduih, and, passing through the back part of his head, scattered the brains in di tterent directions. The officers and crew of the Fury flew to the assistance of their unfortunate friend, but life was totally extinct. The moment the dreadful affiiir became known, the sorrow that was manifested proved the respect in wnic 1 e was held in the navy: the vessels immediately lowered their flags half-mast high, and continued so throughout the. day. After some time the body was conveyed in a shell, Covered with a Union Jack, in the dreadful state already de- scribed, to the Red Lion public-house, and at 12 o'clock Mr. Carturr, the Coroner, lteld an inquest on the remains. The Jury took a view of the body, which ex- hibited a most shocking spectacle, the back part of the head having been blown away by the load- ing of the gun. A considerable quantity of blood, and part of the brains, lay scattered near the de- ceased's cot. Capt. Hopman, the Commander of the Fury, stated that he had remarked that the deceased had been, for some time, in a very desponding state, particularly during the last fortnight, dur- ing which period he had been attended by the surgeonoftheship.. The Captain could not at- tribute the act to any particular cause. He was not on board the ship when the accident took place. He stated that the deceased was a most active and deserving officer. Lieutenant Ross, of the ship Fury, stated, that Wednesday inoi-nirig, about half-past seven o'clock, he heard a report of fire-arms below.— He soon afterwards received information that the report .had taken place in the cabin of the de- ceased; and orders were given for the door to be broke open, and the deceased was found lying on the ground quite dead, with a double-barrel gun lying by his side, which had been recently discharged. j The Assistant Surgeon of the ship was called to attend the deceased, but found that life was extinct. Mr. Bell, assistant surgeon of the Fury, stated that he had attended the deceased for the last fortnight. During that period he had been very much depressed in spirits, and witness had pre- scribed for him. The disease appeared to be more mental than bodily; but the precise cause o! his disease witness could not ascertain. Juror.—Had he any disinclination to proceed with the expeditionWitness I cannot say he had not, nor do I know from himself that he had. Juror; What is your opinion of his state of mind at the nmehe committed the act .—Witness I believe he was at that time, and had been for some time previously, iu a dixm-dered state of roihd. Juror: You say his health was bad for some time ?-NVLtiic-ss: Yes, he was very inuell debi- litated and in a nervous state. The Steward of the Fury was examined, and deposed as to finding the deceased in his cabin after the discharge of the gun; the cabin-door was locked, and he broke it open; when he en- tered, he found the deceased had just expired; the body was quite warm, and the blood had flowed in different directions on the ground.— The contents of the gun having passed through the decuased's head, Iud entered the side of the cabin. By other evidence it appeared, that the de- ceased had for some time taken laudanum in small quantities to rake ¡lis spirit.i. The Coroner submitted the facts to the consi- deration of the Jury, who, without hesitation, returned a Verdict That the deceased, being in a state of mental derangement, shot himself, and thereby caused his death."

An, inquest was held at the White Hart, Dept- food Green, on Saturday, before J.Carttar* Esq. on the body of William Thompson," quarter-master of the Griper Discovery ship, who was found hanging in the lashing of his hammock, at his lodgings, (Mrs. Elliot's Deptford Green. It ap- peared upon the evidence of Mrs. Elliot, that for some days past he appeared much depressed in spirits. The deceased was highly respected, and had accompanied the late Discovery ships in the same situation. No cause can be assigned for the rash act; but a letter was found from a female in the North, to whom he was much attached, in which she expressed the warmest sentimentsy and at the same time regretting he had not seen her since his return from the last voyage. A letter was als° found in answer to the above (not for- warded), excusing himself for the negligence, but expressing his intention to do so, previous to his departure. The Jury came to a conclusion, that in a momentary fit of derangement he committed the rash act. V e.rdictl Insanity

They bring the particulars of the «e«»»oiis of Oli.er, and some other, of the unhappy Negroes, convicted of participating iu the commotion, in Ja- oi a tea. The most interesting articles communi- cated in these Papers relate to the Slave question generally, and to the abortive in- surrection at Dcitifrit'pfi. Among these, there is a letter from Mr. Ilibbert, the Colonial Agenty announcing [.ord L"4h- urst's declaration, that in consequence of the publication of a former conversation by the Corresponding Committee at King- »»», would hold-no oral commnniea. turn with that Gentleman and a urwale C 7,™ «'• »•*<««; .0 MrS't seem 'in i ,rP00,' Publ'sl»!d, asitwould ir 'V W,1"ton defiance of Lord Bath- urst's reproof. Mr. Huskisson, in his letter, expresses much regret at the extreme lengths to which Mr. Buxton and Mr. Wilberforce urged the question of emancipation in the last session, explains that Mr. Cautiing had exerted his personal influence with Mr. Wilberforce, to restrain tbe precipi- tancy of his party, and professes an opi- nion (in which, we believe, the public will perfectly concur with him) that the effect of this precipitancy must be to poaU pone indefinitely the accomplishment of the object, in the pursuit of which, he believes all parties are sincere engaged t intimates a Su^icfon ftbat Mr. Smith must have bee., implicated ,n therebelhon (but the letter was writen ronrr.M^- 1 °/ 0Vetnber> before the "pj' f a?°ws an Apprehension the intemperate zeal of 'the missfouari"s; and suggests that they *nt to be replaced by Ministers of the Established Church, or of the Church of acptland, Samos, -"I I.-A gold mine has been happily discovered in onr island, bf which it is true little advantage can be taken at present amidst the bustle of military ar- mament.
