I DUBLIN, AUGUST 20. After the Firnmer having nearly elapfed with _ out any robbery (oneexcepted on the Low Grounds) being committed on the roads in the vicinage of . this city, we are concerned to tied the leen] ity of the outlets beginning to he interrupted. A few nights ago the widow Tench, who keeps a garden in Grange-Gorman lane, was robbed, in her own bride, at a very early hour, of 5o guineas, all in (mall notes, which the had received but a few hours before: the plan of depredation feemed to have been artfully condufted, and executed by perfonswellacquaintcd with her domeftic concerns. An old man of mean appearance firft enquired if Mrs. Tench's father was at home, and being told that he was then at a neighbouring houfe-, two ruf fians, no doubt determined by the information, milted in, and with horrid threats and impreca tions, effeeted the.robbery, taking the notes out of the poor woman's boron), where they had been , concealed. On Monday evening, as feveral gentlemen, one' of whom was the Rev. Mr. INN t.sox, were return ing, to their houfes at Drumccmdra, they were flopped by a gangof freebooters, whorobbed them of what cath and bank notes they had about them ; it is rather fingular that the robbers declined tak ing their watches. An adjournment of the QL.tarter Seffions was held before the RECORDER, OD Thurfdaylati, when feveral prifoners were tried. A 'baker named Geoghegan. of Francis-ftreet, in dieted for feloniouily taking a 301. bank note from a man named M'Guinnefs, wastried and acquitted. The latter is a clerk to 'Mr. James Tandy, it ap peared; and going to piy a bill for his employer, to Mr. Conlan,a brewer, M'Guinnefs being lonic what inebriated, he flopped in Franciatreet, at Geoghegan's, and induced the latter to take Tome porter with him, during which time the profecu• tor alledged Geoghegan found means to take the note from him ; a ftrong circumftance again(' the prifoner appeared on the trial, viz. the identical bill the clerk alledged to have loft, was received at Mr. Colvill's, the flour-merchant ; • where the prifoner was in the habit of dealing. The charge howe ver could not be fufficiently proved to con'via h T' .. as. She ri d an, convided of keeping an infamous i7d orderly houfe in Strand-greet, was fentenced to be piloted, and confined a year. 7eines 1,411, a boy,.conviaed .of Reeling a bar of iron out of the New Gaol, that had-been placed • m one of the chimnies,to prevent any perfon from getting up, but which had been forced but of its - , 4 , place on the lateefeape from thence, was fentenc ed to be publicly whipped from that rifon through the greets. Several other prifoners were tried—fotne found guilty, and others acquitted. ' CRIERINAL Coos.—Mercy is a divine attribute of the judgment feat, but Juftice is no leis fo, and when in a late cafe Lord Kammer's', expatiated on the cruelty and unmanlinefi of the prifoner'' • crime, and warned him againft entertaining falfe - hopes of mercy, his Lordffiip aged as the worthy tonfetvator of the laws, and properly corriaed the unblufhing recommendation to mercy, which, • perhaps, would not have accompanied a verdia in the eafe,of fonsepoor flarving wretch, excited to an ad of felony by the prefure of the Janina mi fery and want. . We believe that mug thinking men will agree with us that the Criminal Code of there countries is written too much in charaaers of blood ; we . lament it, and we hope that legiflative wifdom and , - humanity will, at no diftant period, moderate this feature of our laws; but, there are crimes, to meet 1- . .. which no pnnifhmein can be too fevere, and the fubjea of there remarks is one of them—every violation of property is snore excufeable, and even murder fiercely more heinous. Surely words demure come up to the black and demoniac crimi nality of forcing. under any cireumflances. the festale will, and though aillxinft acknowledge the ' brutal wickednefs .of the ad, none but a parent can feel the peculiar rnifery it creates--who,can reflea without horror on filch infecurity of domefele hap pinefs ? Let as piaute to outfelves a girl reared up with tenderisers and care, and adorned with all ' the accomplifhments of her charming fez; the de light and folace abet (bating parents--purfue the delineation, not of mere fancy but of truth • behold the exigence of the parent fo eowrapt in th bappi. riefsof the child, that he even trembles to transfer her to the arms of a man of fenfe and virtue, and hangs over his treafure with all the fond avarice of nature—behold this fair growth of happinefs, and behold its ravage demolition I Should the dear object of all thislove and all thofe cares, but dunce to excite the bare defines or avarice of tome lawlefs ruffian—the paternal roof is no fecurity ; the laws of the land are no barrier—the falls the vitim of rude violence, and marriage with the barbarian who commits it. is offered as atonement ! Lan guage here would but mock the feelings, and the injuries of the child and the parent. Such a wrong enlifis all nature on its fide; his the caufe ofevery human being who is, or hopefto be a parent, and fociety ought to have but•one voice for the exe cration and the punifhment of fuch a favage out; rage. .A on uST 22.—0 n Saturday a record was tried at Cork, before the Inn. Juice Joan:ow, and a moll refpeaable Jnry, 'wherein Richard Hunger ford, Efq. of the Ifland, was plaintiff, and Jofeph ' Potter, Efq. and wife, were defendants.

The parties having gone through thcir*Vidence, the Jury retired, and (hortly After brought in a verdia for the plaintiff, with sea damages, be fidescofts, which damagrsare by the exprefs words of the fiat nte to be trebled. a circum fiance of which this refpeaable Jury were upprifed by the Learned Judge, before they retired to confider of their Verdia.

Her violent thrieks brought a number of people to the road-fide, but they were deterred from endeavour ing to extricate her by thole defperadoes. The prifoner was ordered to be executed. An offender of the name of lava Murphy was eonviCted of ftealing apair of pumps at Monaghan and ordered to be publicly whipped. The above were th.; only prifoners convifted at Monaghan.

This witnefs underwent a long and ftria crofs examination, in which, however, nothing new ap peared.

The prifoner made no defence, and was found Guilty. Ht was executed on Thurfday lat. LANCASTER ASSIZES.

Mr. Ao ilt attended as Crionfel for the profecntion. He Rated, that the prifoner bad ob tained goods to a conliderable amount from leve ral mercantile hooks in Mancheller, for which he had given bills in payment, purport. ing to be drawn on different refpeCiable merchants in London. When thefe bills were fent for pay ment, no perfons anfwering the defcription of the acceptors could be found. He laid hc.fhould be able to prove that the prifoner had accepted thefe bills in the names of the parties on whom they were laid to be drawn. Letters had been fent to the hottfes, and returned froth the Poll-office, they not being able to find out the parties to whom the letters were addrefred. In conlequence of this, the prifoner was apprehended. • The letters were produced in evidence, as alto two of the bills. 1 were fworn to have been accepted by the prifoner in the names, of Good and Co. and Baldwin and Co. of Bow-lane, no perfons anfwering the defcription refiding there. Mr. WATSON attended for the prifoner. He re quelled it further time might be allowed his client, as he faidhe fhould be able to prove that he had authority to accept thefe bills from the parties on whom they were drawn. He did not mean to juftify this mode of drawing bills, but trufted that they would Rill be paid. The Loan MAYOR laid he would remand the prifoner for a further examination. The prifoner was accordingly remanded to the Poultry Compter. Yefterday James Tqfiland, a drayman, in the fer vice of Melfrs. Whitbreads, brewers, was charged before Sir JOHN WILLIAM ANDERSON, at Guild hall, with affaulting and violently beating Jere miah Brown.- It appeared that Brown'was driv ing Conk pigs out of Smithfield market, which got under the prifoner's cart, in Long-lane ' when fome difpute arifing, the prifoner &ft ltruck Brown with his fill, and afterwards whipped and beat him with the but end of his whip in a moll unmerciful manner. Three witneffes, who Caw the prifoner's brutal conduit, confirmed Brown's steftimony.— The mißrefs, with whom Brown is fervent, gave him a mollexcellent charaler for honeftv, (OW ety, and being of a peaceable difpofition. The pri foner, in his defence, alledged that Brown (truck him firft, and ufed very altufive language. To prove this, he called two wirneffes, who, rt appear ed, were fellow draymen, and who Rated, that Brown had conduLted himfelf as the prifoner defcribed. The Magiftrate reprobated in flrong terms the prifoner's conduit, and obferved, that draymen were in general a fet of brutal and inhuman fel lows, of which he had feen many proofs. He or dered him to makes fatiafailion to Brown for the alfault. After they had retired for that purpofe, one of Mr. Whitbread's Clerks, of the name of Minton, told the Magißrate, that it was the inten tion of the firm to protect this man, as they thought Brown had behaved as ill as the prifoner could have done. The Magiltrate, obferving that Minton was conduiting himfelf rather in an autho ritative manner, defi red bimto withdraw, informing him, that the bufineli was difpofed of, as he had ordered the drayman to make a compenfation for the profs affault he had committed. Minton then withdrew. After Rime time the parties returned, and dream; intimated that no compenfation would be made. On this the Magiftrate ordered him to be committed, or find bail for his appearance at the next Quarter Satins. Minton and another perfon, in the fervice of Mr. Whitbread, then gave bail for his appearance, and he was difcharged. Two very genteel girls were brought b&re the MaVrate, having been taken up at a late hour on uefday night on Ludgate-hill, charged with being diforderly. The Magi ftrate gave them fame excellent advice as to their future conduit, and ordered them to be difcharged. A man was committed for want of fureties,on a charge of affaulting his wife. It :ippeared that he is an idle diffolute fellow, and his wife a hard- working woman. A charge was brought, at Shadwell Office, by - a Deputy Coal-meter againft a f requen t er oefales, who purchafed tome coals at.an auaion, and in. (lead of taking them home, fent then to one of his cußomers ; they not being meted, gave rife to the charge. The penalty infliaed by the A. of Parliament on filth omiiiion is tot. without mi. tigation; but the defendant laid that be would make an appeal% the Qtrter Seffinns. A young man in the drefs of a failor ran about the Rreets near Goodmaa'selds, and was guilty of very grofs outrages on the perfons of fuch peo ple as came in his way. Some of the Police Offi cers being near at hand, fecured him after a revere Clruggle. On being examined, his anfwers were fo incoherent and wild that no doubt was left of his infanity. It_was found at length that he belonged to a family near Wapping, to whom he was con veyed. At the Public °lee, Whitechapel, a Jew boy was charged with picking the waißcoat pocket oI a poor labourer of a tobacco pouch, in which was a feven Chilling piece, the night before in Role .mary-lane. The profecator ,being pofitive in his allegations, the Prifoner was fully committed for trial. On Wednefday night lafl a gang of thieves, to the number of fix, broke into a boufe in Edward- Itreat, Surrey-road, and carried off a magisificent fideboard of plate. Late on Thurfday fe'nnighr, or early on Friday morning, the house of Mr. Kilburn, c ,, lico•printer, at Carfhalton, Surrey, was broke open, and pro perty carried oil* to .3 vex) , sconfiderable amount.
