Jame: Davis alias Thorne:, John Barth alias Long Ned, Henry Hadley,. and Thomas Marsh, who were apprehended on #ednesday last, from private informa tion, as persons who bad been concerned in robbing Lord Cowper's steward, were yesterday again examined before the, Rev. Mr. Lloyd, in Hertford Jail. On t hi s occasion, IfisliAilleS Accosted, and distinctly Swore to the personof Davis,*one of the•individuals who burst into her husband's room on the night of the Bth•ult. She said there was a light in the room, and as she lay in bed she distinctly saw the prisoner. She also recol lected Barris alias Long Ned, of whom she was almost certain, but still she would not undertake to swear without a shade of doubt. If she heard his voice, she said.. she thought she might be more able to form a judgment. The prisoner was subsequently asked what be had to say why he should not be committed for trial? but he only repeated his assurances of innocence. Mrs. Haines, who heard his answer, was more strongly con firmed in her opinion, as she thought she clearly recog nized the tones of his voice. Mr. Haines, jun. is still so much indisposed as to ten der it impossible fur him to appear before the Magis trates; but he says he perfectly remembers the persons of the men, and thinks, when he sees them, he shall be able distinctly to swear to them. Under.all the circumstances, the worthy Magistrate said be had no hesitation in committing Davis and Har ris for trial, and they were committed accordingly.— They appeared much alarmed at this determination. Mr. Lloyd then said that he had no evidence before him affecting Hadley and Marsh, beyond the fact of their having been found in the company of the other prisoners, and this, he felt, would not justify him in holding them longer in confinement. He should therefore discharge them, reserving to himself the power of again taking them up if new evidence was obtained. Dudfield was then examined, and a female witness was produced, who came upon him rather by surprise, and gave . such evidence against him as, connected with the other testimony already received, at once fixed him as an accessary before the robbery. This girl, whose name it will be politio to suppress for the present, lived in Dud field's house, and had sufficient opportunity of witness.. ing the transactions which were daily occurring in that sink of iniquity. She remembers, before the robbery of Mr. Haines's house, hearing Dudfield say to his wife, that he expected a large haul of notes; the thing was regularly planned, and the men had been down to see the place; they had inspected the premises, and all was right for action when the fit moment arrived ; .on' the vei y morning of the robbery, which she describes . as a rainy morning (as it was), three men came to Dudfield's house in a great hurry, and knocked him, tug ; they were sheen into his loom, where be was in . bed with his Nile ; there was then a low conversation, in which the men were heard to say, " they had done the trick." After this the witness distinctly heard the rattle of money, as if sovereigns were counting, and the whole party finally went into old Mrs. Dudfield' room, where they remained for some time, and then, went away. In the course of the morning, Dudfield sent two persons off to Cambridge, and the men who had been there on the morning of the robbery subset, quently came to the house, and the witness heard them say they had only got 4001. and asked where Dudfield , was with the rest? This was the general outline of the girl's evidence:--The prisoner, like Harris and. Davis, was fully committed for trial.

OGLF. A Sheriff's Jury were assembled in this case to assess damages, the defendant having allowed judgment to gO by default. Mr.Por.Locx stated, that the plaintiff, Mrs. Molland, as administratrix to Mr. Richard 111 , llougal, brought this action for the recovery of £5OO, the amount of a promissory note given by Colonel Ogle to Mr. M,Dou gal for value received, and also for £lB4, the amount of an I. 0. U. given by the colonel two years subse- quently. The Learned Counsel produced the necessary documents, and called John Molland, the nephew of the deceased, who was brother to the plaintiff. The witness stated, that Mr. M'Dougal died in March, 1819, after which the pro missory note and the I. 0. U. were found amongst his papers. They were Colonel Ogle's hand-writing. Cross-examined.—Mr. Millougal was agent to Mrs. Ogie's estate in the County of Armagh, but was discharged about two years be fore his death—believed that Colonel Ogle, out of compassion for Mr. M 4 Dougal's poverty, gave him a weekly allowance for sup port. The Colonel allowed him £2O a•year for the giving up of some land, independently of a guinea a week, which was paid for some months. This guinea a week the witness believed was given in consideration of the money due by Colonel Ogle. Ite-exannined.—Saw Colonel Ogle shortly before the Colonel was arrested for the debt. The Colonel then admitted that he owed Mr. M'Dougal X3OO, and said that he would pay it if be got time. Cromeuminect—Colonel Ogle, witness believed, proposed to refer the matter to arbitration, and witness might have acquiesced in that mode of arrangement —bad sent to the Colonel long before an account of what he thought was due. Mr. Anommos assured the Juty that Colonel Ogle was one of the most honourable men in the country, and would be, upon all occasions, most willing to pay every farthing he owed. But he was, at the satne time, one , of the most rash men as to what he put his hand to, as must be palpable to them. In fact, the 1. 0. U. ought to be considered as a complete settlement of what was, between him and Mr. M'l)ougal, for it was given two years after the note was given. After same conversation between the Counsel, Mr. Anot.vava said to Mr. Pollock, " Will you take .0300 r—Mr. Pomace said, be would take a verdict for .8350, and drop the business. " 'This was recommended by the tiscosoawr, and a verdict was given accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SIANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday, a number of publicans were brought before the Loan MAYOR charged under thu recent Act passed for th e r egu lati on o f public-houses in the City, with baring each incurred the penalty of Sl. by permitting tippling in their houses during Divine Service. Herring, one of the new police inspectors, and an officer, stated that In the houses of all the defendants they found men drinking during Divine Service, without the least restraint. The Loan Mato* said the Act required that all convictions under it should be made by two Magistrates, as the penalties which it direeted to be inflicted were bail, but se be could not then the attendance of a heather Alderman, he would dismiss the whole of die charges. Om of the defendants, in behalf of his bredirou, wished to have the opinion of_his Lordship on one point. Iltaroolf awl several *ban had heft summooed - by one of the new Inspeemes for having permitted their houses to be opened during Divine Service, when, in rut. they had no one sitting in their houses but their lodgers.— Few of them could live or pay their rent without lodgers, and were they to confine them all to their bed-rooms daring Service time? If the Act compelled them to do that, it would compel them to shut up their houses, for no lodger would stay under such regulations. The summoning inspector declared, that unless lodgers were in cluded in the regulations of the Act, there would be no carrying it into effect. In all the houses be went into where the tap-rooms were filled by men who were drinking, the landlords claimed the whole of them as their lodgers. Every man carousing, when ap pealed to, was ready to swear to the truth of the assertion. In the houses of seven of the defendants he found full a hundred men drinking, and the landlords said the whole of these were their lodgers. One of the men who said be was a lodger at one house where be was turned out, was found by the witness when going his rounds at another. lie there said, " This is my lodging really, upon my honour !' The Lose MAYOR was bound to state, that the words of the Act did not bear the publicans out in the ingenious exception which they wished to make. The fact of opening the house during Divine Ser vice was one offence—that of permitting tippling was another and distinct offence. Though the publicans could not be convicted of the first offence in the cues mentioned, they might of the second; fur though a landlord might permit his lodgers to sit down stairs, he must not permit them to tipple during Divine Service. GUILDHALL Maeurinuar. Poorer:lox or Pateosetas.—By the statute Sth Geo. 11. cap. 18, it is enacted that no Attorney, Solicitor, or Proc tor shall be a Justice of Peace for any county during the time he shall continue in the practice of that business. This prohibition, however, does not extend to Magistrates who ex Wei° beeeme Jus tices of the Peace by charter in any Corporation; and thus, with. out inquiring into the grounds upon which this apparent invidious exclusion was founded, .an opportunity is occasionally afforded for forming an opinion how far the enactment may be considered to have been judicious. Mr. Alderman Baowx, before whom the following case occurred at this Office yesterday, is, as everybody knows, a practising member of the legal profession. • A young man, named Jsnsess Gilbert, wasput to the bar, charged with felony. A chaise harness had, it seems, disappeared from some premises in Moor-lane, formerly occupied by Messrs. Pickfords, but now rented by one Michael Murphy, who, from information he had some how or other fished out in conversation with the pri soner's wife and sister, had him taken up, if. not . as the thief, at least as having a knowledge of and being a participator in the rob bery.. All that Miarphy could say of his own knowledge was, that the harness was safe there about the 12th or 15th of Jnne, was missing on the 15th, and had not been.found since. He was very :desirous of stating his reasons ,for suspecting the prisoner to have been concerned in the robbery, with some fellow he called George; but as he acknowledged his. sospiciou arose from what he had been told, Mr. Alderman Baowx stopped hint short, by obserring—" I cannot listen to what you were told; that is.= evidence against the prisoner : you .charge hies with felenmyou must give me someproof of it. Wheroare,the person; Who AIM you? lan hear then° blarphy.-.-There is. the officer;, the women told bim all about it. Mr. Alderman Baowx.—l cannot bear the officer. What sig nifies What he was told. Where are the women that told him? Do . they know anything of the robbery? • Two women were here br. ought forward. The first was desirous of saying something, but the Alderman directed her to be sworn. She, however, refused to_ take the oath, and the Alderman was cautioning her, that he should be obliged, to commit her if the per sisted in her ref usa l, when ft came out that she was the prisoner's wife. She was of course immediately ordered to stand down. The other wwwan, the sister of the prisener, when called upon, also re fused to be sworn. . . • Dlr. Alderm an B aowx.— th e en d s o f j ust i ce requ i re t h at your evidence should be given. I must tonunitiosi, if you refuse to be ftwarti- • Why do you refuse? . • P ta— Seeause my brother did not steal it, nor take part with those that did. Mr. Ald e r man Beows.—Well, then, if you say that on your oath, your brother will be discharged; I have no wish to do him any harm. The girl, however, still persisted in her refusal, even after the Alderman had directed a warrant to be made out for her coot iiitment; - but being mod. by the primal* abllnegi...... th Wte• Onsented to be sworn, and tbeissikeposower to the • fin+ Alderman, what sh! knelt rosposfilt.tlio deetios *laid she did nut knovrattythinfr St all about It.

AISAULT a Cliecol.-.-A Mr. Nicholson was charged with having committed "an equestrian assault on the person of a Mr. Smith—that is to say, with having wilfully and maliciously endeavoured to ride him down. •Mr. Smith is a very delicate and spruce young Gentleman. • Mr. Nicholson is a stern and stalwart personage, with coal black hair and whisker grim, and the matter between hem was thus t—Mr: Smith, with a Lady on each arm, watt passing down St. Martiu's lane, in their way home from the Theatre, between twelve and one o'clock on Wednesday night. Mr. Nicholson was at the same time coining up St. Martin's-lane on horseback, and being a man tuously given, he took it into his bead that the Ladies with Mr. Smith were Ladies Of a certain description, and having got this notion into his bead, be resolved on putting them to the rout. 8e be clapped spurs to his horse, and came clattering after them on the foot-pavement. The Ladies shrieked, and Mr. Smith seized Mr. Nicholson's horse by the head, and very coolly led it off .the footpath into the bone-road. Mr. Nicholson was nix to be thus repulsed, and wheeling round, he charged the party in front. Mr. Smith once more seized the horse by the head, and would have led him off the footpath as before, but Mr. Nicholson, instead of sub mitting to it quietly, as he bad done in the first instance, began a dust-exciting attack upon Mr. Smith's chapeau with his riding cane. Mr. Smith kept his hold upon the bridle nevertheless, and in the scuffle the poor horse was thrown down. Mr. Nicholson fell with him, of course, and he was up again in a moment„ and preparing to remount, but the crowd, which by this doe gathered around the combatants, would not permit him so to do.— They told him be was either drunk or mad, and though he assured them he was neither one nor the other, they sent his horse to the green-yard, and consigned Mr. Nicholson to the care of a very capital watchman, named Dennis Mack. "Come along, my Jewel !' said Dennis," and I'll find you ikon) lodging for this night. Go and hang yourself !" replied Mr. Nicholson, " it is not you, nor thirty sock shall put me in the watch boot." " Deevle burn me !" rejoined Dennis, " but myself shall do it say," and he did. 'Dins far was the statement for the prosecution, and Mr. Nicho lson being called upon for Ms defence, said—lnstead of two modest ladies iu Mr. Smith's company, there were at least a dozen immo dest ones; and he did but ride up to see what they were squealing about, when Mr. Smith seized his bridle and threw his horse down. He concluded by assuring his Worship that he was as sober at the time as he was at the present moment. Mr. Smith and his witnesses declared that there were only two ladies, and no squealing at all, until Mr. Nicholson rode at them ; and the Magistrate (Mr. HALLO, having observed that it made little difference whether there were two or a dozen, or whether they were modest or immodest, ordered Mt. Nicholson to find bail, and bound the complaining parties over to prosecute. MARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE. mirth from WM. Bliss was brought to this office on a charge of having, nearly two years back, uttered knowingly a forged bill of exchange fur £22, with intent to defraud Mrs. Nicholls, of Grove-row. The prosecutrix stated, that about two years back the prisoner introduced himself to her as a man possessed of considerable pro perty, part of which, however, he could not receive as yet, and that in the meantime he wanted to purchase some fornicate, Which be would as soon take of her as of any one else. Witness agreed to let him have the goods be wanted, and to receive for them a bill for £22, accepted by Mr. W. Mills, of Radley-street, St. Luke's. The goods were accordingly delivered, for which he paid by giving an acceptance, purporting to be that of Mr. Mills. Since that period she saw nothing of the prisoner till a few days back, when she beard of his being in custody. Mr. Mills declared the acceptance not to be his hand-writing, but a forgery. It was a good imitation, and which probably might I arise from the prisoner's iteviagiseen in his employ, and hence bad frequent opportunities of seeing him write. Witness had been called on by the brother of the prosecinrix on Friday last, on which occa sion the brother offered to born the acceptance, if he (the witness) arould pay him £l2. This crew be declined, but was led from it to Inquire who the brother was. and the result of his inquiries was the discovery that the brother of the prosecutrix and the prisoner had been both in the House of Correction at the same time. • Mr. Grurrarn inquired of the prosecutrix about the attempted negotiation, which, however, she denied having authorized. The Magistrate, to prevent the frustration of the ends of justice, ordered the acceptance to be impounded in the hands of the Chief Clerk of the o&-e, and remanded the prisoner until to-morrow, when the brother of the prosecutrix is to attend. The population of Glasgow, it is calculated, has in creased above 10,000 within the last twelvemonth*: RETAIL BaEWERS.—A common brewer in Biros' ham was a few daxs since fined by the Magistrates that town in the mitigated penalty of 201. kir suffering beer which he had sold to be drank on his premises. A melancholy occurrence took place on the 4th inst. at the Prince's Dock, Liverpool. A boy was standing on a ship's stage, or gangway, attempting to get a bottle which had been thrown from one of the vessels, and thirty or forty individuals were drawn by curiosity to the same spot, when the stage gave way, and the whole were plunged into the Dock. The scene which followed was most appalling—seven persons have lost their lives, and the Dock Police were searching for more bodies. A person has latterly been imposing upon several silversmiths, watchmakers, disc. (it is calculated to the extent of between six and seven hundred pounds) by passing off what he calls old and choice coins, which are so ingeniously manufactured as to deceive the trade. The police are after thi impostor. Colonel William Nichols, a Member of the Parlia ment of Upper Canada, after dining at the house of a friend, at Fort George, started to return, in his wag gon, to his own residence above Queen's Town. The night was extremely dark, and when Mr. Nichols had descended the height just above Queen's Town, where the road takes a sudden turn on the brink of one of the most awful precipices on the Niagara River, his horse, instead of turning to the road, advanced to the brink of the precipice, when Mr. Nichols, his horse, and wag gon, were all precipited headlong down the fearful steep, a distance in the whole of about 300 feet. Mr. Nichols was killed instantly, his horse shared the same fate, and the waggon was dashed to atoms. Wednesday se ;might, a melancholy accident hap-, pened on board the James Watt, steam-packet, while on her passage from Greenock to Liverpool. Joseph Dudley, the principal engine-man, having fallen asleep close to one of the side levers of the engines, insensibly ; it is supposed, shifted his position so as to come in con tact with it, in consequence of which he was so severely crushed, that he expired in an hour and a half after re ceiving the Snjury. Thursday Morning' last, on the arrival of the London Telegraph coach in Worcester, at the Union Inn, Broad street, a female inside passenger named Jones, who was on her way to her native place in Wales, was discovered to be a corpse. She was known to the other passengers on her entering the carriage in town, to be an invalid, but it was not until the door was opened at their jour ney's end, that the fatal catastrophe was discovered. The last time she was heard to speak was at Pershore. It is supposed that the motion of the coach, and fatigue of travelling, was too much for her exhausted frame to bear, and combined to cause her death. The verdict found upon the Coroner's Inquest was to that effect. In giving an account of a recent entertainment in London, the Bloke translates " small-clothes" petits mien:ens, and idds in a note, that the English Ladies will not allow this part of the dress to be called by its true name, and that they also give it the appellation of " neceseary.'"rhis is quite new and highly co mical. It would certainly lead a Frenchman into some amusing mistakes. We have heard of iseespreuibles as a word at once point ing out the thing meant, and shewing that it is not to be named ; but suppose a foreigner, in want of a pair of petits vermeil:, and making use of the English of the Ensile to ask for them! Besides, our friend of the Etoik is mistaken. It is only your half-bred people who are so ridiculously over nice. English Ladies in general both mute and ever' wear the breeches without hesitation !

A fire broke out last night, soon after ten o'clock, at MARRIOr's cotton-manufactory, Compton-street, Clerk, enwell. By the exertions of the firemen it was ptc• vented extending beyond that building, the interior ci which was wholly destroyed. No lives were lost. A woman of Grub, in the Canton of Appensal, is Switzerland, giving way to that unhappy fanaticism which now misleads the ignorant classes of society, re cently killed her child, to save it from the persecuti,.n of the evil spirit, whom she thought she recognised in the features of a stranger passing through the villate in which she lived. In the night of the 13th ultimo, Reannint's thermo meter fell to three degrees below the freezing point, in Switzerland. This sudden cold has nearly destroyed the crops of hay, and the cherry trees. At the very,time when some r.cisy blockheads ate introducing into our Theatres the silly custom of Call ing for performers after the. Play is ever, the French, from whom the folly is copied, are prohibited from in dulging in this practice; or, rather, the actors are corn• manded not to obey the call. A Paris Journal of Fri. day says— a The custom of calling fur actors and obliging them to appear after the representation of pieces has been long degenerating into an abuse destructive of order, and particularly of the trancptilt:f which ought to reign at the. Theatres. The public authorities hare therefore resolved to renew, in the most express manner, the nuts. bition formerly enforced against the submission of actors iu b 441 cases to the demands made upon them." An Inquest was held on Saturday last, at the Water man's Arms, Wandsworth, on the body of John Wood, servant to Mr. Dedman, of Vine street, Lambeth, tint ber•merchant, who was recently drowned near Rid. mond-bridge, with five horses.

Early on the morning of Sunday, the 27th uhimo, a gentleman who bad arrived and slept the preceding night at Mr. Stewart's inn. at Ardchinacrocan, about a mile front Loch Katrine, gut up and left the house, remarking, that as the mundvg was fine, he would take a view of the surrounding scenery. There is reason to dread that in passing along the sides of the lake the heat of the morning had induced him to bathe, and that, from causes which cannot now be aseertarned, he perished in the undertaking, as, on Monday morning, a man proceeding homeward by the Loch discovered the Gentleman's clothes and shoes at a fevrpaces distant from the wa ter.

The lire was observed by some Clamp donians almost at its commencement, but the wind blowing strong from the South-east, and there being but a small supply of orate, rendered all their efforts abortive. A great number of respectable persons assembled from ail quarters, and exerted themselves in as extraordinary manner in saving several articles. Not only were the booths completely demolished, but the flames had communi cated with the Ladies' Stand, which would have been reduced to a 'heap of smoking ruins in an instant, but for the exertions of tho-e who were afterwards so wrongfully accused of having been guilty of arson. Fortun.aely, no serious accident occurred, although many persons were in danger of losing all they bad there. It is not known how the fire originated, lint if intentionally done. it is sincerely hoped the perpetrators may be exposed, which will exonerate many so unjustly accused. BIRTHS.
