SINGLE-STICK.—The grand match of Single-stick play which took place at Winchester on Thursday and Friday, last week, for a purse of 50 guineas, af forded another treat to the amateurs of that manly exercise, and again terminated completely in favour of the Somerset Gamstert. On the first day, at two o'clock, the period for playing out the tyers, the So merset had seven, without the Wilts, Hants, or Berks obtaining one ! The second day (by the same period, two o'clock) secured to them the odds of sto 2 of Wilts, and their opponents, despairing of all hopes of success, resigned the contest. The Somerset lads, of course, divided both days prizes. There were only seven of these gamesters to contend with the above mentioned three counties, and they again met them without padding. A numerous and most respectable concourse attended, and perfect good will and har mony prevailed. OLD BAILEit. Yesterday Pattici Cane was capita* ifidiiied for ' stealing a gold watch, chain, and seals, of the value of thirty pounds, and upwards, the property of Co. lonel Edward Blake, of'the County of Galway, in Ireland. I Colonel Blake deposed, that he resided at the I house of George Newton, No. 35, St. James's-place, i St. James's-square ; that, on the 15th of June, he , Went nut in company with Mrs. Blake ; he had ob served Mrs. Blake's watch hanging at the chirisney-1 piece immediately before he went out, and, upon his return, missed it ; between the hours.of eight and nine next morning he was called up, and the w.ytch, chain and seals, were delivered into his hands by A person named Matthew Weldon, who had formerly lived with him in the capacity of a servant, in Ireland. John Fitzgerald, the servant of the last witness, said, that he met the prisoner as he came from cha pel, and believing him to be distressed, he invited him to call at his master's lodgings, promising to give him something to eat. The prisoner in consequence of this invitation, called shortly after Colonel Blake i went out, and witness took him up into the drawing- ! -1 room, desiring him to wait there while he went to get him some meat. On his return with the meat the prisoner expressed great anxiety to go away, alledging that he had to go to Whitechapel, and was in a hurry. Witness then went with him to a neighbouring public house, and treated him to a pot of porter, and re turned home, where his master and mistress shortly after arrived, and in a few minutes called him to know what was become of his mistress's watch, when, after some hesitation, he confessed having taken the priso ner up stairs, and said he was the only person he could suspect of having taken it. He also said, the only knowledge he had of the prisoner, was, having seen him about a month berme in crthpany with a man named Weldon, who had formerly been a servant with Col. Blake. Matthew Weldon deposed, that he had formerly lived with Colonel Blake—he now lived at No. 14, Wigmore-street—had known the prisoner to be a servant out of place. The prisoner called upon him between the hours of eleven and twelve of the day upon which the watch had been stolen—he was well acquainted with the prisoner.. Colonel Blake called ; At his house on the night of the 15th, but he was out, and, upon hearing it, he determined to go to Colonel Blake's lodgings, which he accordingly did, and saw him at nine o'clock. Upon hearing the circumstances, he requested that the Colonel would equip him with a coloured' coat, acid common hat, (he having livery on at the time) and said, that he would instantly g o in quest of the re isoner ; being industrious in his in quiries, he received information of him that night. He went next morning, at eight o'clock, to Church street, St. Giles's, where having applied at the house of a Mr. Connor; he was told that a man, named Cane, whose appearance corresponded with his de scription of him, lodged above stairs : upon his going up stairs, the prisoner was in bed. Witness told him he wished to have some conversation with him, and ilesired that he would immediately come down stairs; thit the prisoner consented to do ; and while he was dressing himsilf, witness left the house, for the pur )lOse of procuring a constable to assist him in bringing 'the priso. er :o a Magistrate's Office ; he soon after returned, attended by Cullen, the patrole ; but the prisoner had, in the mean time, gone from the house. In about five minutes he returned to the house, where witness and Cullen were waiting ; they desired him to follow th:m to the Black Horse. The prisoner His Manny, with his usual benevolence, has did so, ard upon their sitting down, he said,,he knew given from his private purse the sum of £2OOO to, very well what they came abut t, and put the watch the Fund for the liberation of Prisoners confined for i which Colonel Blake had missel into the hands of Sivall Debts. witness. They then brought him to Colonel Blake's The Danish were not the only Prisoners of War who ! lodgings, at his own desire.

I . The Judge then charged the Jury, who, without Admiral Wasom was the oldest officer present at retiring,_gavea verdict of—Guilty—Death. .Elizabeth Flinn was capitally convicted of stealing . . . . three bundles of ostrich feathers, value RIO, the pro perty of Samuti Butler, in his dwelling house. Martha Na,gle . was indicted for stealing from the dwelling house of Mary Pamplin, a box, containing., one £3O, one £lO, two £2, and 27 £1 bank notes, 19 crown pieces, five guineas, one half-guinea, and other monies, the property of the said Mary Pamplin. Mrs. Pamplin deposed, that she keeps the Angel and Trumpet public house, at Stepney-green, and that the prisoner was her servant. She gave her warning, and on the 17th of October she quitted her house without her knowledge ; when, suspecting all was not right, she sent one of her lodgers, named George Grooby, after her, who brought her back, [.with the box, &c. in her bundle. George Grooby deposed, that he overtook the pri. loner in Mile-end, but she would not come back until he got an officer. At the house of the officer she threw down her bundle, and the box was seen. When she took up the clothes again, the witness recognized the box to be the property of Mr. Pamplin, Mrs. P.'s late husband. He made her take up the whole (she at the same time saying the box was her own) and brought her back to her mistress. R. Bramley, an officer, corroborated the last wit• ness's evidence. The prisoner, in her defence, said, that when she was going away she laid her clothes on the table in her mistress's room, and she supposed that she drew the box into her apron along with her clothes—Guilty —Death. Thomas Taverner was capitally indicted for stealing an iron axletree, value 50s. the property of John Lane, from his dwelling house.—Guilty of stealing to the value of 355. Elizabeth Johnson was capitally indicted for stealing a silver watch, value e 2, from the dwelling house of John Cokely. • The prosecutor deposed, that he lives in White chapel ; and that on the evening of the '23d ult. the prisoner came to his house to light a candle. He had one lighted, but by some accident it went out, in en. deavouring to light the other. Next morning he missed his watch, which he had hung the night be. fore at the head of his bed. Henry Wickers, a pawnbroker, in Cannon.street road, produced the watch, which he swore the priso nei pawned with lint foi 24s ,--iduilty of stealing' to the value of 245. The following were convicted of fekny :—Ch tries Walker, for stealing a watch, the property of J. nan, from his person ; J. Rogers, for stealing a p ece of jean, the property of Elitabeth Caldicott Withers, for stealing a barrow, and three ddzen of pots, the property of R. Wat.duck ; and G. Clark, for stealing a watch with two gold cases, the property of W. Broad. Andrew Bracken and John William., were capitally indicted for burglarinitsly breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Wilk?s, of Chancery-lane, printer, and stealing therein eight reams of fine royal paper, on the night of the 6th of October last. It may he recollected, that we have already given in the Police Report a statement of the principal facts relative to a hackney coach being seen in a suspicious situation loitering about some of the streets about Soho, and having been at length taken, with paper which was supposed to be stolen in it, in Berwick street, near Wardour-street. There was a coachman With it, who was taken into custody at the time but afterwards effected his escape. John Williams, one of the prisoners at the bar, was afterwards apprehended on suspicion that he was the man who drove the coach. The watchman and others who witnessed the transaction, believed him to be the same ; he was very like the man both in countenance and stature, and his coat was exactly of the desciiption of that Which was worn by the man who made his escape after the coach was stopped. The other prisoner (Bracken) was warehouseman to Mr. Wilkes, and from the circumstance of his having the care of the paper, coupled with that of his not being at his lodg ings on the night of the robbery until a very unsea sonable hour, it was suspected that he was very likely to be in some manner connected with the guilty re moval of the property from the place of which he had the care. That prisoner, however, proved most sa tisfactorily, that he had spent the whole cf the night at the Plough, the Three Tuns, and other places about Smithfield,. as long as company was permitted to stay in the houses, within the limits of that district in which St. Bartholomew's Fair is held, and that he had afterwards gone in the same company that he had spent the night with, to some other places until about five in the morning. The coachman's defence amounted to this, that whilst he went to drink in a public-house, some one had stolen his coach, and that he had no knowledge whatever of the crime im puted to him. Lord ELLENBOROUGII, after taking a comprehensive view of all the circumstances of the case, recom mended to the Jury to acquit Bracken, as there was no proof of his having any connection with the guilty possession of the property, neither did it appear that he could have been present at the time of the first commission of the felony, nor during any part of the subsequent transaction. As to the coachman, notwith standing his own assertion, the evidence was much stronger ; and if the Jury should be of opinion, that all those who saw the person who drove the coach' could not be mistaken as to his identity, they must certainly find him guilty. If, however, they should think, that either from the darkness of the night, the confusion they were in, or any other circumstance, the witnesses could be all of them mistaken, they would then give him the benefit of such a favourable opinion, and pronounce him Not Guilty ; but for his own part he really thotight the evidence very strong against him. The Jury withdrew for the space of three quarters of an hour, and returning pronounced both the pri soners Not Guilty. Wednesday, the Grand Jury found a true Bill against Sarah and W. Marltorongh, for starving and ill-teating the child of the latter, as formerly stated, in the examination at Marlborough-street. . . . ..; .

HUTCHINSON, Master of the Caledonia, of Leith, dated Falmouth, Octo ber 30:— " We sailed from Oporto on the 20th, in company with the Thames, of London, and kept company till yesterday forenoon, when I lost her in a thick fog. At eight we weathered the Li zard; and at one, A.M. a French schooner privateer came under our lee, with an intention to board : we fired several mut.ket shots at her, but she would not sheer off.

POLICE, MANstox-Hoosx.—Yesterday John Hall underwent his final examination, charged on suspicion of being concerned with others in robbing the warehouse o: Mr. Smith, of Gutter-lane, of ribbons and silk to the amount of 8900, part of the property was found in his possession, some of which he pretended to hay: taken from a stranger, from Coventry, and part, h said, was sent him by a Mrs. Jackson, who keeps a stall in Fleet-market, in whose house a bundle of silk and ribbons was found, which she pretended to know nothing about ; the ribbon, which she confessed sending to the prisoner, she sail she had from one Caroline Birkitt, who was committed for trial, from Worship-street Office, yesterday, as an a,:complice in this robbery. Hall was fully committed for trial, and Mrs.Jacksonadmitted as an evidence against him. George Arabine, a soldier of the 10th regiment, was ag* brought up, charged with extorting money from several people, by pretending to cure disorders in children by a charm ; the person from Bishopsgate street, who formerly made the charge against him, repeated his evidence, and several others complained of the prisoner's having extorted money from them on similar pretences. The prisoner pretended to have been intoxicated, and did not know what he did, and was willing to give the persons orders on his regiment for their demands, and was very sorry for what he had done • he produced a furlough from his regi ment, at Ashford Barrack. The Magistrate finding, he had been an old soldier, ordered the clerk to write a few lines upon the back of his furlough, recom. i mending military punishment for such imposition. John Lees was fully committed, charged with steal, ing a great coat from t house in Cannon-street, where he went to solicit charity. UNION-11ALL.— - Thontas, a carpenter, was • charged by Mr. Paynter, with having stolen a quan tity of wood, the property of Mr. Oliver. Mr. Paynter has lately been employed in repairing a house belonging to Mr. Oliver, at Norwood, and the prisOner had been placed there as a superintendant. It appears to be the custom, where no. beer is allow ed, to permit the workmen to sell the chips in lieu of it. In the present case, howsver, Mr. Oliver had , allowed money for beer, and had particularly direct. led that no chips should .be taken from the premises. Notwithstanding this regulation was known to the prisoner, he had permitted three cart-loads to be taken away at different times ; part of which' was valuable and useful stuff. The prisoner, in his de• fence, said lie considered the chips as hi., perquisites, but he was fully committed. _ - ,_..g r;"
