We noticed lately an instance of Magisterial complaisance, in respect of a young lady charged with beating and abusing her servant, .because the servant had interfered to prevent the lady from abusing herself. On Wednesday, the lady—whose name, it seems, is • Davenport— appeared at Marylebone Police-office. Elizabeth Godfrey, the ser- vant, stated, that about a month ago, her mistress was about to commit suicide with a pair of scissors, as her friends had prevented her from marrying a green-grocer. She prevented her ; and her mistress turned her rage upon her, and inflicted several wounds on her. She threw her down and trampled on her. . A surgeon gave his opinion. that some of the girl's ribs were broken. A Mrs. Bolton stated, that she was present when the scuffle occurred between Miss Andrews (now Mrs. Daven- port, but not the lady of the green-grocer, as originally contemplated) and the complainant, who, in taking the scissors from her mistress, had her fingers cut, and accidentally fell down.

About a quarter of an hour before five o'clock on Tuesday morning, Tritton's brewery, at 'Wandsworth, Surry, was discovered to be on fire ; and before it was possible to extinguish the flames, the whole of that part of the building designated the copper-house was entirely destroyed. The exterior of the copper is now exposed to the gaze of the traveller ; and the whole range of that portion of the premises are reduced to a heap of ruins. The present proprietors, it is said, but recently became possessed of the establishment; for which they gave 140,0001. The fire originated in the steam-engine department of the brewery. When the parish fire-engine arrived at the premises, it was rendered useless, in consequence of some villains having cut the hose. On the arrival of the firemen of the Phcenix Assurance, and other offices, their efforts were much impeded by a set of fellows, who fell to drinking the porter on the premises. The property is said to be insured.
