Among the applicants for relief or compensation at Marlborough Street,
was the great Sir Robert Wilson. The Magistrates doubted his claim, unless he could make out a felonious intent on the part of the mob ; which Sir Robert thought he could. At Marylebone, a terrible fellow named Sparrow was held to bail for wearing a white (observe, not a tricolor) cockade. He had been found in the midst of a mob that were threatening to eat the Duke of Newcastle. The Duke was at the head of a party of police, defending- his windows from attack. The damage at the Marquis of Londonderry's house u-as, it is said, great ; the Marquis has a great deal of brittle material in the front of his mansion. ANTI-REPO:01 GENTLEMEN.—T wo person, who called themselves Brady, were charged at. Bow Street, on Thursday. with riotous beha- viour in Drury Lane Theatre on tine previous evening. The audience called for "God save the King ;" and duriug its performance by the singers, Messieurs Brady not only kept their bats on, but hooted and hissed with as much zeal as if the one had been a Murray and the other a Stewart, and no more bound by the laws of decency than 'Marquises or
Lords. The audience cried " Shame !" and Mr. Richard Brady turned his back towards them, and raised the tails of his coat, as much as to bid them defiance. The gentlemen denied turning their backs on
the house until they had been pelted with orange-peel; they admitted the hissing. Mr. Richard declared his intention of repeating the offence on Thursday ; and was held to bail,—most improperly, we think ; why should not the young gentleman be allowed to indulge his fancy as well as his betters in insulting tine public? TILE CIIEVALIER DE RANVILLE.—This' ingenious gentleman was re- examined on Wednesday, at Marlborough Street. Mr. Clarke, of Coutts's
office, was called to swear to the signature of M. Lafitte being a forgery; bunt it seemed to be held that no third party could prove that fact unless he had seen M. Lafitte write,—Mr. Clarke had only corresponded with the ex-Minister. The prisoner was remanded to give time for procuring more satisfactory evidence.
