'AV 7 IfE D.1704i THE ST4R. r.7 —As a? eeleuswell ledger to our happy Con tenor. n C r.trsh and State, I was greatly shocked earn fret/ Mr. BOWLES'S Letter to Mr. WHIT- Re FAD, and also I iren a Sermon preached by a learned r:gnitary of t 1 e Church of Ireland, at the Magdalen Asylum, that there is a very powerful party enlisted under the banners of Mr. insert: LANCASTER, whose o bject it is to overturn our Laws and Religion, and to substitute in their place Anarchy and Atheism—hav ing, however, investigated the matter very minutely, and cautiously perused Mr. LANCASTER'S book, I am in hopes that matters are not quite so *bad, or the plan, at least, is not co ripe for execution as those two great luminaries of Politics and Religion, Mr. JOHN Bowles, and the Bishop of M. are disposed to appre hend. Though I agree with them that Mr. Lee- CASTER'S and his party's motives are much to be sus pected, yet many causes, I am of opinion, must com bine, before either Church or State can be completely overthrown by such assailants.—His Mait.sre, Gtm bless him, is still securely enthroned in the hearts of his loyal and affectionate subjects ; neither are any of the successors of the Apostles yet in danger of having their mitres plucked from their brows, or their crosiers wrested from their hands; nor have I yet heard that any of them have for the present been under the ne cessity of pawning their gilt plate. I am therefore not so much alarmed at the danger, as disgusted at the folly and absurdity of Mr. LANCASTER'S project. Mr. LANCASTER, besides initiating his pupils in reading; writing, and arithMetic, -professes (I suspect his professions) to inculcate religion and morality ; to invite his pupils to the practice of virtue; and to warn them against the seductions of vice. llut where is the necessity of putting ideas on any of these eubjects into the heads of young children ? 11. is ellnay time enough to warn them against vice, when their vicious propen sities are in danger of being injurious either to them selves or to society. It is a mere waste of time, and money into the bargain, to be establishing schools for the purpose of infusing into the infant mind any know.- ledge of this kind. It will come quite time enough, and without trouble and expence, if Mr.-LANCASTER and his officions adherents will only leave the infant Poor to themselves. They need not be above eight or ten years old, when they may be instructed, and at free cost, in the common principles of morality, espe cially in all matters relative to meum and teem, by the Magistrates of the police, who will probably refer them for further information on these interesting sub jects to the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, or should they aspire to auy extraordinary proficiency, they may even be indulged by a lecture from the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench ; who, it may so happen, will give them the opportu. pity of exhibiting a proof of their talents on the new drop at the Old Bailey. The Learned Prelate is pleased to suppose, that Mr. Lexceeten's tenets are philosophical: in this 1 , opinion I cannot concur, and of course do not concur, cn that account, with his Lordship, in his severe re probation of them. For my part, I reprobate them for the very contrary reason, because I perceive in them no ray of philosophy whatever. And, indeed, I must do Mr. LANCASTER the justice, to acknow ledge, that, in my humble opinion, he ought no more to be accused of being a philosopher than his Lord ship, who, it is presumed, has hitherto cautiously stee ted clear of any such heterodox imputation. There is ere brane l e however, of Mr. LANCASTER'S Pcedagegic art, the teachinte his pupils to eeria in the. said, which has my most entire approbation, as I pre. Eume it has that of his Lordship and Mr. Jo Bowers, who, in their various publications, whether on religion er politics, have oft( n made useof thisdurablernode of cornre:r i t ating their di sinteeestedthouglestothepublk. ' But even this mode of writing has been objected to, the sand or dust, it seem:, being apt to get into the rea der's eyes ; yet in this surely readers have not much to complain of, as the dust serves only" to purge the • visual nerve, for they have much to see," which corn.' mon optics, in their natural state, flight be unequal to. Let not Mr. LANCASTER, however, flatter himself, freun what I have now said, that my approbation of his method in this particular extends indiscrimi nately to his practice. If he has the least tenderness fee eat e.ligious establishment of his country, let n:c most earnestly intreat and recommend to him, on no account whatever, to permit any of his infant ptipls to trace a single pot-hook with their fingers in the sand, till they have publicly subscribed their names at full length to the Thirty-nine Articles. By this ex pedient, the mischievous little urchins will be preven-; ted, in the very outset of their literary career, from writing any thing against the doctrines and discipline of the Church of England. Mr. Leeceseen's great error, through the whole of his system, is in the beginning all his instructions at the wrong end. He is .0 unreasonable as to expect that chiliren should be taught, even at the early age cf four and five years, the Lord's Prayer, the Apostles' Creed, and the Ten Commandments, with other ab rt.re:,.e precepts of morality and religion ! It is cruel to be the -; fretting their tender gums by making them mumble thre.Jirelieestilile husks and shells of religious learning, s.sOele the very kernel is at their mouths ! Why net I,egin with the book of Revelations ? Chn dron,it well known, are passionately fond of the mar- • vell eepecially if it be any thing which they can be made to comprehend wi...liont much study and fa: tigue. h rat, then, indulge this laudable appetite by putting into their hands a work so congenial with their snarly propensitiee to knowledge, a familiar ac qeeintence I:ith which will greatly facilitate their future rtudi , .:, when they come to the more difficult part of theological learning contained in the Old or New Te;tarneet, particularly the writings of the Evangcli..t.e Mr. L A NCASTER'L Tereerse mode of initiating his perpile in arithmetic ie equally reprehensible and ab surd: he begins by in:erecting his pupils, that one and two are three, two and two arc four, &c. which must be a; onintelligible to their feeble capacities as if he had told them that one and two make ene, two and two male :eve, &c. &c. How much more rational would i be to take them out of this abyss of numeri cal calculation, and at once recreate them with flexions or amuse and divert them with the proper tie:. of the cone, or let them play at cross questions in algkra. ?—These light and sednetive occupations M...1d gradually prepare their minds for the laborious , and tigting sti.ly of common arithmetic and mei mot li:Scntion table.

This was an issue directed by the Court of Exche quer, to try whether Mrs. Hewitt, formerly Miss Bennett, had received from Mr. Gilbert, her grand father, deceased, 350 guineas ; or whether, on the contrary, she had not clandestinely possessed herself of it ? It appeared that the deceased was a shoemaker, and (in Lis latter years had become possessed of property. In the year 1801, the only two persons who resided with him were his wife and the defendant, his grand daughter. The latter, some time before his death, told her aunt that her grandfather had given her 350 guineas, and begged her to invest it in the funds.— She did so, but some suspicion arising, the plaintiff, upon the death of Mr. Gilbert, being appointed exe cutor, and having married one of the daughters, filed a bill of discovery, and in consequence of the answers put in by the defendant, the present issue was direc ted. The circumstances of suspicion were, that the defendant had stated to a Mrs. Keene that the money was given to her by her grandmother, and not the de ceased : that she one day told her to pull the string of a private drawer, and she would find three hun dred guineas. She polled the string, and found 3:.;0, but did not mention the overplus : that the deceased had frequently stated himself to have been robbed of 350 guineas, but always believed them to have been taken by one of his own daughters. It. was also ar gued, that if the deceased had meant to have given the money in question to his grand daughter, he would have laid it out himself forher use, as he was perfectlyl well acquainted with the funding of money. On the other side it was proved, that the deceased had acknowledged the gift he had made before his death, and, in fact, had regulated his will by it, as the lepcies to his own children corresponded. The Jury were out for upwards of an hour, and found at last for the defendant, to the effect that she had received, and not clandestinely taken the money. OLD BA LEY. Yesterday 21 prisoners were tried, 1) of whom were convicted of felony, viz. • I J. Harbour, for stealing 11 penny-pieces, and 70 halfpence, the property of J. and S. Bligh ; Mary Smith for stealing a silt - A. wat ch, the property of J. Parsons ; 1: Bullen, for stealing a piece ' of bacon, the property of Messrs. Cuff and Dickinson; Susan And, for stealing a flat iron and stand, and ether articles, the property of Mary Monday, and Elizabeth Munday, fined Is. arid discharged; Mary Roe, for stealing two shirts, the property • of S. Mason ; J. Pigott, for stealing 21bs. of horse-hair, the pro perty of T. Holum, fined Is.; Mary Evans, for stealing a table cloth, &e. the property of S. Hidop ; Elizabeth Harwood, for stealing a coat and waistcoat, the property of J. Rolle; Ann Covey. fur stealing a piece of pork, the property of J. Field ; W. Lowe, for stealing a trunk, containing wearing apparel, the property of J. Marnamari. ; P. Jones, for stealing two planes, the property of S. Petite • W. NPltay, for stealing a pair of sheets, the property of W. ilat.field ; Sarah Lamb, for stealing :: quantity of tea:hers, the property of J. Thomas; J. Palmer, for stealing a carpet, the property of J. Fotherby ; 14. Watts, for stealing two hooks, the p roperty of R. Rodwell ; F. Cushion, for st ealing six knives 'and six forks, the property of J. Priest. James7idison, and Jos.fii Leber,., for stealing seven bushels of oats ; the property of Messrs. Severn, King, and others. The only circumstance which renders this care worth noticing was, that a man, of the name of - Maybrick, who described him- I self as a stationer in Fetter-lane, and a witness on the part of the prisoners, declared - that he saw u man deliver the oats to the prisoners in Whitechapel, about two o'clock on Saturday, 14th May. This man prevaricated and equivocated so much, and de livered so inconsistent an account of himself that the COMMON SeRJEANT was induced to cross•examine him minutely ; and a Mr. Swan stepped forward and positively swore that the above witness was at the Rose Public-hoe e in the Old Bailey, from twelve un til four o'clock on the day the prisoners were appre hended ; that Maybrick had arrested a Mr. Williams ; and had him at that public-house, and that he, Mr. Swan, bailed Williams. In consequence of this the COMMON SERSEANT sent for the Landlord of the Rose, and the Officer who arrested Williams, but they be ing both out, the Ofiicers of the Cours were desired to order them to attend this day at nine o'clock when the matter will be thoroughly investigated. May !nick was committed to Newgate, and the CONtMON SERJRANT informed him, that should Mr. Swan's account be corroborated, he should think it his duty, and a duty which he owed to public justice, to direct a prosecution to be commenced against him. Mr. COMMON SERJEANT read the account the prisoners themselves gave before die Magistrates, which was, that a man put them into their cart in Goswell-street. The witness, Maybrick, towards the latter part of his examination, appeared considerably agitated. Richard ilbmhams, fsr stealing, on the 9-Sth of April, a silk Umbrella, the property of John Cal craft, F sq. * • It appeared from the evidence of the footman, tkat en the day mentioned in the indictment, the prisoner went. to Mr. Calcraft's !anise, in Saekville-street, St. James's, and presented at the door two pieces of music, which he said he brought for the young ladies of the titnily from-a music-seller's in Holborn. He was told that the family were gone to the play, but that he might leave the music. The prisoner then requested the boy \Om opened the door, to take the music to the butler, and he world perhaps pay him. The boy went down stairs to the kitchen according to his request ; in the mean tine: the prisoner opened the folding doors, and clamed the inner - call, took down an embiella which hung uponn a peg, and re turned with it to the outer hall. The footman, how ever, who happened to be coming down the drawing room stairs, observed the prisoner's motions, follow ed, and asked him his business with the umbrella ? the prisoner told him, that he had brought some mu sic for the young ladies, for the payment-of which he was then waiting, and, in the mean time he had taken the umbrella for the purpose of assisting him to walk up and down the hall during his stay. He found fault with the impertinence of the footman's interrogation, and centinued to walk up and down the hall, with the utmost sang froid. Perceiving, however, that the footman was approaching to tale' the umbrella front him, he let his plunder. drop, and ran into the street. The witness pursued hint, and cried " s top thief." T h . . prisoner taking advantage! of this circumstance, joined also in the cry, and con tinued his course till a chairman seized and brought him back to Mr. Calcraft's house, from whence he was conducted to the watch-house. The prisoner mide a very unsatisfactory defence, and the found him—Guilty. Five wc,:e acquitted, viz.— Ann King, A. Isrl'Donald, T. Cripps, T. Sherhind, isnd Hugh Parsons. On Tuesday afternoon a melancholy accident hap pened near Putney-bridge to John Cooper, Charles Grant, and Richard Northern, the former a journey man, the latter apprentices to Mr. BENSLEY, printer, Bolt-court, Fleet-Street. A party had agreed to spend the day' up the River, but the whole declined, except the above three ; they proceeded without a waterman, and being unacquainted with the management of a boat, it upset, and two of them were drowned. - The body of Northern was found about a quarter of an hour after the accident, and he was recovered. • Yesterday alterhoon a very fine boy, about four years old, was run over, and shockingly bruised by a hackney-coach, near Temple-Bar. Last week, as the carriage of Sir Thomas Gooch was travelling on the road from London to Suffolk, with four post-horses, near the 15 mile-stone, it over took a cart, in which were Mr. Mead, farmer, of Bac sildon, his wife, and a female acquaintance. The post-lads, wishing to pass the cart, called out in a manner that frightened Mr. Mead's horse, insomuch that he became ungoverm,ble ; they still persevered in following his cart, and kept up the same noise ; the dreadful consequence was, that just as the carriage was passing the cart, MI:. Mead's horse sprang out of the road, threw the cart over, and precipitated' all the passengers directly under the wheels of the carriage, which passed over the head of Mr. Mead, and the breast of his wife; they received so severe an injury, that a few minutes after being removed to the Nag 's Head, Brook-street, they both expired , teat iug a 'fa milt' (f nine chihken to lament their ratlanchoty late, Bow-STREL T.—We stated some time since, th at Lieutenant Kelly had been hustled by a gang o: pick pockets in 'Holborn, and robbed of 4501. in Bank of England notes, besides other paper ~. Every possible exertion has been made tii recover the property.—' Lien Kelly offered a reward of 1001. for the re covery of the pocket book and the papers, without the notes, as the papers were of the utmost importance • to him, two of them being certificates from Lord Nelson, of his good conduct, besides some papers from the Trinity House, &c. &c. About eight days since a man called upon Lieutenant Kelly, gave him the names of the pickpockets who had robbed him of his pocket book, and told him, that soon after the rob bery was committed, one el the gang of the name of Bill Saggers, took the contents, and threw the hook away, and he believed over the wall of the Cold bath Fields prison ; the man gave him such a description of the contents of his book, that he had no doubt but he must be correct, particularly as to a paper, upon which he had made a memorandum of the signals (riven at the battle of Trafalgar. Lieutenant Kelly, consequence of the circumstance, gave information to the oilicers. On Tuesday., Richard Limberick set off for Green wich Fair, expecting to find a man there who is char ged with felony : as he was passing through Dept ford he saw a constable belom.tang to that place, who told him he was going to send for some of the ofli cers to see a man who w-:: just put into the watch house, for having rescued aaother Iron; his custody, who had been detected in picking a Gentleman's pocket in Greernt kb Park On Limberick seeing the man, be identified him to be the notorious Bill tits- 1 Lars, who was charged with .having robbed Liente- ! nant Kelly of 4:50l. he in consequence applied to Mr. Goonnyw, an active Magistrate of that neighbour- before whom he had been charged, for permis- 1 slots to take him to Bow-street office to answer the • charge, which the Magistrate readily agreed to. Yesterday he underwent an evamination before Mr. GRAI:AII, te.g,ether with anoth , :r well-known pick- j pocket of the name of Bill Williams, apprehended bv Limberick yesserday morning, in the neighbourhood 1 of Old-!street, beitK2: the name of one of the robbers Lieutenant Kelly had received information of. Lieutenant Kelly attended, confirmed the above statement, and swore positively to Saggers being the . man who trod upon his heel at the time he was sur rounded by a number of men, and lost his pocket ! book ; he immediately discovered it, but was so con fused that he did not know which way they made oft. He did not recollect the person cf the prisoner Wil -1 hams, who was in consequence discharged. Williams has lately returned from transportation. Saggers was committed fur farther examination.
