Charles Linikie u as indicted for assaulting Benjamin Cole on the King's highway, at Greenwich, in the month of June last, and forcibly taking from his pet son a gold watch, chain, and seals. It appeared that Mr. Cole, who is an extremely active constable in Deptford and its fcinitv, was, on the day in question, on duty at Greenwich Fair, when he was suddenly accosted by the prisoner, who asked him how he did? and at the same time made a snatch at his watch chain. Cole secured his watch chain with his hand, and believing that he was too well known to be the subject of a robbery, at such a time and place, treated the matter as a joke, and turned away, saying, u No, nn, I shall want this," meaning his watch, •• by and by." The moment he had turned his head, however, he heard a loud cry of I. Stoll, Stoll,' which means, help, help, and he was immediately surrounded by be tween 30 and 40 men, all armed with sticks, who com menced a most furious attack upon him. His hat, which was new and strong, was quickly beaten to pieces, and knocked off his head, and he received a number of se vere blows both upon his head and body, under which he at length sunk upon the ground. almost in a state of insensibility. In the course of this attack he felt his watch, &c. dragged from his lob with great violence, and the prisoner being the person nearest to him at that moment, and having no stick, he suspected him to be the thief, and had sufficient presence of mind to seize him by the collar, and he fortunately succeeded in keep ing hold of him throughout the whole transaction. In a short time the affray and alarm became so violent, that a party of soldiers came up with fixed bayonets, the crowd were dispersed, and Cole and the prisoner were taken to a neighbouring public-house. Upon searching the prisoner, Cole's watch was found upon him, much bruised and battered, and separated from the chain and seals; and the chain was also found upon him, but in a state which made it at first difficult to be recognised, it being pound ed nearly into a solid mass of metal. The hat was never recovered. During the attack the prisoner and several others were repeatedly beard to cry out, o Down with him, down with him I" Cole was so much injured that he kept his bed, in consequence for several days. The prisoner offered no defence, and the Jury found him Guilty. The Learned Judge immediately proceeded to pass upon the prisoner the awful sentence of death, assuring him that it was utterly impossible that any mercy could be extended to him, and solemnly exhoiting him to lose no time in making his peace with his offended CaaAToa. He obscrved,that the instances of this dreadful offence, which had occurred at the present Arsine, were so numerous, anti of a character so atrocious, that it became absolutely necessary, for the welfare of society, and for the preservation of the lives and property of the honest and peaceable part of the community, to make some examples of the offenders ; and he felt that he should be guilty of a gross dereliction of his duty, if he did not leave some of them, at least, to suffer the ex treme punishment of the law. Among these the pri• soner must certainly be included; for it was hardly possible to conceive a more audacious, cruel, and savage instance of highway robbery than that of which he had been sea clearly proved to have been guilty. This was an issue directed by the Court of Chancery to try the validity of a will of Robert Suite the elder. Mr. BROUGHAM and Mr. ALDiRSON conducted the pistintiff's case; and Mr. iNswesis and Mr. PARKE that of the defendant. The testator resided le Berkley Lodge, in this County ; he died in March, 1826, leaving property to the amount of abou 7,0001. most of which he had acquired by be coming a ship owner. He had several children, and the day before his death, namely, on the 24th of March, he executed a will, with codicil thereto. He had previously executed two other wills, the one on the 21st of May, 1823, and the other on the 9th of February, 1825. The will executed on the 24th of March was peepred on the 23d, and then signed only with the mai k of the testator ; but when a fair copy was made on the 24th, he signed each sheet of the will, and the blai ks a ere filled up by himself. By that will about ball the property was left to other children; and the deceased being then 81 years of age, and the disposal of the property being then very different to what it was by the will of 1819, is had been suggested that the tes tator was not of sound mind at the time of the execution of the will of 1t.26, and a bill was accordingly filed io' set that will aside. It was also suggested, that a dif. ference having taken place between the elder son and his father in Lis latter years, advantage was taken of that circumstance, and the old man was influenced by other branches of the family to make such a will as better pleased them. A number of witnesses were called, who all deposed to the sanity of the old Gentleman ; and the nurse, who was with him at the time he died, %tated that he was so to the last. The Attorney who altered the will swote that the w ill was the same in strhstanc, as the former will, only that the codicil %%Lich a• en:bodied in the last executed copy made provis nn for I.i, clang! ter Isabel a remain ing at lLr kir:, Lodge ,0s itoilihs after his death, and demised two seats itt the r avish church to her. . _ Mr. J. WILLIAMS audiessed the Jury for the defend ant, anti argued th all ti:e evidence that might have . been produced had riot been brought before the Jury The case was left in doubt, and that doubt was bis case for if parties were wiling to let the whole truth be told, a female set vant who had not been called, who was in constant attendance on the deceased, no doubt could bavecommunkated facts that sere cautiously concealed. The Jury consulted together for a short time, and found a verdict establishing the will of the testator. William Amesbury was indicted for killing Cecilia, bis wife, by having inflicted upon her body several ki, kt and blows, in the parish of Whitmore. on the lit of May list, of which violence she died. He was also charged upon the Curoner's Inquisition. Mr. R , GERS stated the case to ti e Jury. He la mented that, from the peculiar circumstances of this unhappy occurrence, he should have to call upon the Jury to consider whether the unfortunate priso. er had. not killed his wife, and the evidence must be (anti:lle.! from the narrative of the children of these parties. It was a source of grat:fication for him to know that the Grand Jury had ignored a bill for the capital' offepce, and so far it was compete t for the Jury at the outset to dismigs from their minds the remiting con• sideration that betsseen parties so neatly allied the horrid clime of murder had been perpetrated. Enough, how ever, he feared, would be :hewn to bring the second charge home to the prisoner. The Lestrned Counsel then describid the nature of the evidence which he had to offer in this case, as it was subsequently given by the, witnesses. Sarah Amesbury, the prisoner's child, who was about nine years of age, was fist examined, and an old wo• man acquainted with the family, was put into the box with her, to inspire her with confidence, and repeat the questions to her. She stated that her mother was at home on the night in question, and her father also. They went out to empty the well after supper: while there, her father called on her mother to give him more assistance, and he quarrelled with her about it. Her father desired her (witness) to clean his shoes; but her mother would not let I,er, whereupon her father knocked her mother down with a piece of turf, and William, a man who worked at the place, helped her up from the ground, and she went into the house and was sick; she did not see her mother struck again, but she went to the chimney-corner, sat down, and cried. Her father then went up and made the bed, and her mother was helped into it. Witness then went out for a candle, and when she returned found her mother very bad ; her father was smoking a pipe at that time. This was the substance of the child's evidence, which was.delivered is a very inarticulate manner.—The prisoner said that this child was of disoidered intellect. The man who was stated to have been present at the occurrence, was next called, but did not appear. William Amesbury, a boy six years of age, corro borated his sister's evidence respecting the ill usaye of his mother by his father. He remembered their guar- Telling about drawing up the water out of the well.— His mother was sewing, and did not want to b • helping the water, and that caused the quarrel. This boy went out for a flour•ba at the time, and on his return found his mother •ery ill in the corner and crying Inr.". Mr. Justice BURROUGH here inquired whether their , was any other evidence beyond proof of the mere brow of the turf to be produced in this case? The Learned, Counsel replied that the poor woman was well in the morning, and dead in the night ; and he would chew the fatal marks of violence upon her body. The Court held that that would not do, for there WAS no proof whether A or B had inflicted this violence. These children 'hewed nothing but the blow. of the turf—the absence of the man who worked in the place was fatal to the case.—The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. WOODBRIDGE, Auousr 23. A storm of rain fell in this town on Saturday morn ing: It commenced about a quarter past eleven o'clock, and lasted with little intermission till two. A heavy cloud was observed work. lag up against the wind, portending mischief, and so singularly com pressed and dense, that the water was seen in the immediate vici nity approaching on the road rolling like the waves of the sea. It presently brought down the soil from the neighbouring hills with irresistible force, and knocking down in its course brick-walls, out dates, Ike. rushing through many sidle:dwelling houses; particle larly those in Ilredfield-street, near which it formed a chasm 25 feet deep and as many wide, partly separating the Turnpike road, st the entrance of thelown leading to Grundisburgh- The damage done is considerable. Many of the shops, warehouses, and cellars, were instantly inundated, some more than three feet aboveground. One grocer lost property to the amount of upwards of goof.; ano ther icoo.e. worth of candles; new-made bricks were spelt. ed In one yard, and nearly d t quantity in another. A far. mar at Sutton, nearby, had a whole field of beans swept into the river, and sustained other considerable 10..5. The fire engines were worked with great effect in taking off the water at a cottage at the Dry Bridge, immersed several feet deep. It also forced a passage into the Church, and caused some of the vaults to give way. The estimated loss altogether is more than 10110 X. During the thunderstorm in this neighbourhood last Friday morning, Mr. Raynham, a respectable farmer in the parish of Chellesworth, was accidentally in the fields with two of his younger children, and had scarcely dismounted from his horse, to protect his children under the hedge font the incessant rain, when the horse was struck by lightning, and killed ; and he himself and his children stunned by the shock, and much burned in their legs, ate. Their clothes were torn from their backs, and pieces of their high. lows scattered about the field. Some English settlers in South Africa, in a bunting excursion across the frontier, were entertained at a kraal of the Amatymba Caffres. The Chief inquired how many wives an Englishman usually had, and how many cattle were required to be paid for one. He was told that no man, not even the King himself, was allowed to have more than one wife; and that property was not ( given for them, but, on the contrary, expected with them. 64 You are a people of strange customs," said the Caffre; " among us, no man can procure a toler able wife for less than ten good oxen, and our Chiefs sometimes even pay sixty cattle for one of superior qualities. Your women, I fear, make but indifferent wives, since no one will pay for them, and their rela tives must even pay the man to marry them off their hands." Wednesday nigi,t, as Mr. TAPLIN, of the Bear Inn, Woodstock, and party were returning home from the Theatre, in a one-horse four-wheeled chaise, at Yarnton Bridge the horse became restive, and began kicking, which so alarm:d Mr. TAMAN, that he juwped out to endeavour to lay hold of the horse's bridle, when his foot slipped, and he fell backwards on his head; he was taken up in a very dangerous state, the back part of his skull being fractured, and otherwise injured, so that his li'e is despaired of. DlM—About twelve o'clock on Saturday sennight, a file broke nut in the machi=e-house on the coal-wharf ! ul Ellis F.etcher, E q. Oldfield-road, Ssltord, which in a short space of time completely consumed the interior of the building. The second story of the machine-house had been oscupied for a period of nearly 20 years by an old mare, upwards'ol 70 years fa, e. named Joshua Hilton, who, by depriving himself of the common com forts and decencies of life, had scraped together from 2001. to 3001. This strange individual was formerly what is termed a banksman, and still continued to do odd jobs about the coal-wharf'. It was supposed that the acci• ent occurred in consequence of a spark flying upon sine rags and dry hsy whilrt he was lighting his fire. He stopped in the place until he was almost suf focated, in order, it was conjectured, to preserve his money and writings, which were concealed in holes and corners, an I at length rushed out, and watched with eager interest the progress of the flames. When the fire had been got pretty well under, he mounted the smoking beam which supported his former dwelling, and approaching a hole in the wall, took out a large, bag of sovereigns, with which he scampered off with •Imoost frenzied delight, without giving a farthing to the men who had exerted themselves to preserve his life and fir °pert y.—Aloachester Herald. 1 POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SI ANSION.HOUSP. Merge lined was charged with embezzling a gold watch, the property of his employer. The prosecutor, a watchmaker,in Cheap. side, stated, that the prisoner was his travelling clerk, and was authorized to receive and pay money on his account. It was hi. duty to remit the money he received, when on a journey, or to ac count for it when he returned. The last journey the prisoner went, he took a quantity of gold watches with hint (among others, the one ' now produced), for the sale of which he had not accounted; sad witness had since discovered that he pledged it at Mr. Barker's. Mr. Barker's assistant produced the watch, which he stated wits pledged with him by the prisoner, oo the 10th of March, for 1V The Loan MaTOS said, that, in his opinion, the case was one of stealing, and not of embezzlement; and that although the evidence was sufficient to warrant his committal, yet, as it was stated that there would be other charges brought against him, he would remand him. His Lordship then asked what salary the prisoner received ; to which the prosecutor replied, 1001. a year, and a liberal allowance for travelling expenses. Mr. Wooler, for the prisoner, denied this, and stated that his salary was only 501. and that 101. was then due to him.—The pri soner was remanded. BOW-STREET. Saturday evening, the " Cacique of Poyais," " Sir Gregor Mac Gregor," was brought before lir. %login:cr. on a warrant, in the custody of Lincoln, a conductor of patrol, andFagan an dicer, for sending a challenge, tending to provoke a breach of the Peace, to lieutenant Francis MelHtt Spong, of the Itoyal Artillery. A brotber-in-law of Lieutenant Spong deposed, that he received a letter on Saturday morning from Sir Gregor Mac Gregor,inclosing a challenge for lieutenant Spoils, and requesting him (the brother in law) to deliver it. The following is a copy of the (ballet's,: Sca—Mr. Machado bas informed me that you have used expres sions injurious to my character.

This letter being shown to Sir Gregor Mac Gregor, and acknow ledged by him, :11r. Itlteautt. informed him that he required him to enter into sureties, himself in A2.ooo,aud two respectable louse keepers in Li ,000 each, to keep the peace towards all his blijesty's subjects, and towards Lieut. Spong in particular, for the twin of two years. " Sir Gregor Mac Gregor . ' expressed surprise at the magni tude of the hail required, and asked the Magistrate if there was anything parriculir cnoneireted with himself, or his circumstances that iituucrd his Worship nr think he was able to give such heavy sureties ? Mr. klimstintt. said he knew nothing of him, or his circumstan ces. lle .huuld not alter his determinaion to have the bail he had required, and moreover, be would have notice of t►at bail. The defendant saul he could give the bail required, but nut at that hour of night. lie was therefore sent to St. Martin's watchhouse, where he is to be kept until be gives the bail required. It was with dihiculty Mr. Spong was persuaded by friends to re. press his feelings during the examination. The origin of this affair slid not transpire. • HATTON-GARDEN. Henry, I:hymens's. and Jane Mackay, were charged by a watch man, named Dolton, with tanking, in Greetlie-street, between eleven and twelve on the previous night. The male defendant said. that by was returning with his sisters from the Haymarket Theatre, and were passing their opinion on the performance, which ucca siooally drew forth a laugh. On arriving at the cornerof street, the watchman, who was comfortably seated in hie box, and apparently just roused from his slumbers, told them they must not laugh there, or be would lock them up. Some words arising in consequence, the ire of Cerberoe was kindled, and he drove them before him to the watchbouse. They were instantly discharged, and the watchman severely reprimanded. MARY-LA.BONNE. James a shoemaker, was charged with stealing a bon die of whited brown paper from the shop of Mr. Burgess, a sta. Honer, at No. 14 Berners-street. _ _ Webb. a watchman, saw the robbery committed, and the prisoner did not deny it. He was committed to Newgate for trial. A coachman, named Woodford was charged with having forioody driven over a poor old man, by which his legs were broken, and his life placed in danger. It appeared in evidence, that on Friday evening last the old plan was in conversatiora ith e friend as the terser or Jaases. street, Lisson-grove 1111101 thee primmer, who was driving along at a rapid pace, s uddenly turned the corner of the street, and before the injured person had time to get out of the way, be was knocked down by the poise of the coach, and the wheels passed over both bis legs. He was carried to the hospital. The surgeon's Cer. dficate was produced, stating that he was in danger, and unable to attend to give evidence. The prisoner said there were several persons at the corner of the street, and he tried to pull up the horses. Mr. Hosems--The man is in danger, and I detain you in custody unless you procure good bail to be in attendance, should he be able to attend at some future Friod. QUEEN-SQU A ha Harriet &emu was charged on suspicion of being concerned in a burglary in the house of John Tait, Esq. on Monday week. Mr. Tait stated, that all the family had retired to bed on the over night, at eleven o'clock every thing in the house was safe; in the morning it was discovered that the iron bars of the back kitchen window had been wrenched on one side, and a quantity of table linen, and other articles, stolen. Two pawnbrokers shopmen produced each a table cloth, which bad been pawned by the prisoner in different names, and which Mr. Tait identified as his property. The prisoner was remanded. John Simpkins was charged with stealing a piece of bacon from the shop of Mr. Carey, cheesemooger, in Strutton-ground, West minster. A fruit girl saw the prisoner seize t►e bacon from the window, and run off towards Duck-lane ; he shortly afterwards returned, and made another attempt, when she informed the shop.. man, who followed him, and saw him attempt several other shops; he at last collared him, and gave bim into custody. One of the Officers described the prisoner as being a reputed thief; and he was committed to the House of Correction for two months. WORSHIP-STREET. A young man named Mantas Sarni was brought up on Saturday, on suspicion of baying been concerned in a highway robbery, con. nutted on Sunday the sth instant. It appeared that about two o'clock that morning, three young men, who were going on a fish. ing excursion, were attacked in Hare-street Fields, by the brick field gang, about twenty in number; and one of them, namcd Singleton, was severely beaten and robbed. They gave intimation of the outrage at the watchhouse, describing the persons of their assailants; and within the last week, Charles Downes, Joseph Wheeler, and Thomas Sorrel, have been apprehended as three of the party. (The prisoner Downes was one of the persons charged with the robbery of Mr. Fuller, the surgeon, for which James Boyce was executed some months back, and Thomas Norton suffered this morning. Downes and two others were acquitted.) The officers stated that they had apprehended Sorrel as answering the description given of one of the robbers. He did not speak a word, and was remanded for further exami , nation with the other two prisoners. TOWN.H ALL James Taylor, a well-known thief, was charged on Saturday with robbing a Lady named White, the wife of a ship-owner at Horsley down. It appeared that Mrs. White left home to make some pur chases, basing in her reticule a sovereign and a quantity of silver, and in pa.sing through Joiner's-street, she fell down in a bt, and on coming to herself found she had been robbed of five half-crowns. The prisoner, in the confusion occasioned by the distressing situation el the prmecutrix, was seen to pick up several pieces of silver, and make of, when he was pursued and taken. The prisoner saucily admitted taking three half-crowns, saying be saw others d.) the like, and thought he had an equal right to a share in the spoil. He was committed.
