BANK-NOTE ROEUERY.—In the year. 1821, while the cashier of the banking-house of Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co. in Lothbury, was counting some notes one even• ing, a man entered, and snatched a bundle of Bank of England notes to the amount of between 4,0001. and 5,0001. The cashier was . so completely stunned at the robbery, that he did not even call for assistance until the thief had rushed into the street, and made his escape through Tokenhouse-yard, where it was suspected a house was open for his reception. A few days after the robbery, a watchmaker in the City was applied to by a decent-looking man for a stout silver watch. A 101. note was given by the stranger to the watchmaker, who soon afterwards ascertained that it was one of those which had been stolen from the banking-house. About a year after. wards, the watchmaker received a visit from the same person, who produced the watch, and wished that it should be either exchanged or repaired. The watch maker, instead of striving to get the fellow into his' ' power with address, stared at him and dart ed round the counter to seize upon his person, but the thief was too' active, and easily escaped, notwithstanding the cry of Stop thief!" which pursued him for some time. The watch was, however, left in the watchmaker's hands. All inquiry after him was useless for a length of time, but the stolen notes began by slow degrees to return to the house, and it was conjectured that the thief was living cautiously upon the profits of his enter prise. At last a stolen 501. note was passed at Gravesend, and the person who had uttered it was apprehended. He behaved very impudently, and denied that he knew anything about the robbery. The watch-maker ) how ever, the moment he saw him, said, " That is the very man who gave me the stolen 104 note for the watch. " The clerk of Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co. also identified him as the person who snatched the bundle of notes, and he will answer for the offence at the Old Bailey. Tuesday last, an Inquisition was taken at Luton, on view of the body of a female infant, which on the pre ceding afternoon had been turned up by a sow, which was groping about in an outhouse belonging to an old farm-house, which is now converted into several tene ments, and occupied by poor people. It is probable the body would have been completely devoured by the voracious animal in a few minutes, had not some chil dren, who were playing hear the spot discovered the circumstance. It could not have been buried more than two or three inches below the surface of the earth . , and was merely strewed over with bricks and dirt. In con sequence of the information given by the children, se veral persons repaired to the spot, and a bloody sheet and shawl, in which the child appeared to have been en veloped, were found. A great mass of evidence was taken, from which it appeared that the body of the in fant had been concealed for about six weeks in the room occupied by its mother, and had not been interred till early on Sunday morning last. One witness spoke particularly to an intolerable stench, which she had several times perceived on going up and down the stairs which led to the room occupied by the mother of the child, and where it was doubtless concealed. John Fensom, with whom the mother, Elizabeth Hate, co habited, and by whom she bad previously had a still born child, appears to have been deeply implicated in the horrid affair. From the state of the child's body, the surgeon was of opinion that it must have been dead six weeks. The investigation occupied about twelve hours, when, after a mature deliberation, the Jury re turned an unanimous verdict of Wilful Murder against Elizabeth Hare, the mother, as principal in the fi:st degree, and against John Fensom in the second degree. John Fensom, who was in custody, was committed to the County Gaul, under the Coroner's warrant, and a warrant was issued by the Coroner for the apprehension of Elizabeth Hare,who had absconded, but who has been since taken and conveyed to gaol- - • EXECUTION OP MULES fOIiNSOM This morning this unfortunate matt, who was on Fri day last convicted at the Old Bailey of the wilful min- der of James Richardson, at Enfield, in the year 1821, underwent the dreadfully ignominious sentence of the law. Since his condemnation every effort had. been made by the Rev. Mr. COTTON', Ordinary of Newgate, to bring him to a proper sense of his awful situation. Who, in a great measure, succeeded in producing a strong feeling of contrition and penitence, brit this was notl fully evineed until after the service in the Chapel yes-I terday. The wretched culprit seemed to think his was' a case of peculiar hardship, but eventually admitted that, having 44 shed blood," he ought to die, at the same time observing, he hoped that the forfeiture of his et- 1 istence would be a sufficient atonement for his offence; and during the whole of Sunday he prayed earnestly with the attendant Clergyman, to ALMIGHTY (lion, for pardon.—His wife, three children, and a brother and sister, took a last farewell of him yesterday : he seemed very much distressed and displeased that they did not employ 4. a Counsellor, for (said he) if you had, I was sure to be acquitted." This fallacious idea was set aside by the attendants, who pointed out the enormity of his offence, and its unprovoked brutality. At parting, he gave his wife a shilling, observing, ' 4 Betsy, it's all I have." On being left alone, he relapsed into an ap parent stupor, and, with difficulty, was prevailed upon to join in prayer ; he seemed lamentably ignorant, and could not be made fully to understand the awful nature of the transition from life to eternity. At twenty minutes before eight o'clock, Mr. Sheriff LAURIE and his attendants arrived at the prison, and in a few minutes the wretched culprit was introduced into a small room in the lobby ; he had been previously disencumbered of his irons; his demeanour was wretched and dejected in the extreme; he only spoke one or trAo sentences in a loud murmuring tone, and these only in answer to questions. Being pinioned, be was led to the scaffold, when being placed on the drop, be was almost instantly launched into eternity. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZE MONEY.

A Court-Martial has been held at Portsmouth, three days, on Mr. T. COLLINS, Master of his Majesty's ship Crites', on charges of neglect of duty—not observing the Captain's orders—for having conducted himself in a very insolent and highly disrespectful man ner to his Commander (Captain GRACE). The Court (of which Sir WILWAH HOSTS, Bart. K.C.B. was President), decided that the charges had not been proved, and therefore adjudged Mr. COLLINS to be acquitted. The MEDINA, 20-gun sloop, was paid off on Friday, at Ports mouth, by Capt. HAY. She is to be re.eormnissioned immediately, and fitted for a foreign station.

ROBBERY BY A StRVART: Mary Webb was put to the bar, on an indictment charging her with stealing, on the 27th of Januaiy f nine . sovereigns, the property of her master, Henry Beet'on, of Essex-place, Nli'e end•road, baker. The prisoner had only lived with the prosecutor a month, and, on the day in question he missed a sove reign. He called the prisoner up stairs, and asked bee if she had found any money ? when she replied in the affirmative, and admitted having found four sovereigns in a drawer in the bed-room. An officer was then sent for, who searched the prisoner, and found 17s. 11,1. 'in her work-box. She at length confessed, that she hal hid the money in the dust-hole, where it was found., . She also confessed, at the watch-house, that the first time she took one sovereign from the drawers, the second time two, and the third time five, and the fourth time one from a box in the parlour. The prisoner made no defence, nor did she call any witnesses to speak to her character. The LORD CHIEF BARON summed up the evidence to the Jury, who found the prisoner—Guilty. The Jury recommended her to Mercy, in which the prosecutor joined. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEBRUARY 21. TIIE KING V. WILLIAM JAMES GAUDY. This was an information, filed by the Attorney-Ge neral against the defendant, an Attorney, residing in Liverpool. The facts of the case, as detailed by the So ricrroit-G ENERAL, were these: In December, 1822, four persons of the names of Mundell, Solly, Meadows, and Sullivan, established a private whiskey still, in Liverpool; but to prevent either patty from reaching his accom plice, they bound themselves by an oath of secresy, on the New Testaaient, and also passed under the fictitious names of " Tom, Jerry, Charley, and Bob Logic:'— For a short time the business of the still was carried on, and among the customers was the defendant, who, it was proved by Tom, Jei ry, and Bob Logic, received four gallons of the whiskey in two two gallon cans.— lie was afterwards waited on by Tom for payment, when he replied that he never received the liquor, and moreover urged, that Mundell was indebted to him for business done. The apparatus of the still was soon after seized by the officers of Excise, when Logic, find ing himself a considerable sum out of pocket, gave in formation of all the circumstances, and the present pro ceeding was instituted against the defendant, which subjected him to a penalty of 2001. Tom, Jerry, and Logic, proved the facts as before stated. Mr. JERVIS, on the part of the defendant, contended that the evidence of Tom, Jerry, and Logic, was un worthy of credit ; and that their having taken an oath of secrecy to each other, joro conscientia, was a clear proof of their perjury ; besides, he observed, the spirits, on both occasions, were delivered at the side door of the defendant's house, to the same servant, and that it was very probable she might have retained them for her own use.—TheJury, however, returned a verdict against the defendant for Two Hundred Pounds. SECONDARIES' OFFICE, FEBRUARY 21. ABBOTT V. TURNER. This was an action brought to recover one per cent. upon a considerable sum of money ; about 12,0001. the loan of which bad been procured by the plaintiff for the defendant. The Jury were summoned to assess damages, judgment having been suffered to go by default. Mr. WILDE stated that the defendant, being in tem porary want of a considerable sum of money, advertised for a loan, and afterwards had an interview with the plaintiff upon the subject. It was then agreed that five pounds per cent. should be paid for the term, and that the plaintiff should have one per cent. for procuring the loan. The money was forthcoming at the appointed time, but the defendant having disposed of some pro perty in the City, had no occasion for the loan, and re fused to pay the plaintiff the one per cent. for nego ciating it. This action had been brought in consequence of the refusal, and the Jury would not hesitate to re munerate the plaintiff for the trouble he had in raising the money, as, whether the sum had been actually lent or not, he was precisely in the same situation as negotiator. The charge would be admitted to be most moderate, and it was the practice in the commercial world to give a higher fee for negotiating than had been demanded by the plaintiff.—The Jury, after a few minutes' consideration, assessed the damages at 70/. At the last tithe-audit of the Rev. G. RAYMOND, Of Symonsbuiy, Dorsetshire, he generously apprised his parishioners that he should not expect to see them again until that time twelvemonth, as he intended to give them a half years tithe. Sentence has been passed at Breslau on Dr. Jahn : he is condemned to two years' imprisonment. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, FEB. 23. The supplies last week were good, especially of Oats. This morning our market has received but moderate quantities of. Corn front Essex and Kent, and hut little from Suffolk. The fresh supply of Oats is also inconsiderable, so that the market to-day is chiefly composed of the quantities that have remained over from last week. The Flour trade is very dull; and the quality Of Wheat for sale to-day being chiefly damp, our Millers putchased very little, and having no demand from the country. the trade has been dull, at much the sante prices as on this day se'nnight. Barley sells on full as good terms as last Monday. There is a fair demand fur Beans, at the prices last quoted. White Peas sell heavily ; and (;rey Peas are ls. to Qs. per quarter cheaper. Oats are abundant, and the buyers holding utf occasions a dull trade. The prices are, therefore, rather lower than on last ilonday. PRICES ON DOA RD sum. Wheat, Red (new), 545. 665. old, 635. 725.
