COLOGNE, SEPTEMBER 24. • An individual accused of many murders has been ar rettEd at Biel, a village on the right bank of the Rhine , oppOsite to , Bonn. He has already confessed three mur ders, the recital of which is enough to make the mind shudder: The following is an account of the means by which these atrocious crimes - were discovered. An inha bitant of Beul, named Moll, a shoemaker, and Henry Ochs, of Cologne, a tailor, had served together in the same company of the 28th regiment, and were united in the closest bonds of friendship ; they returned to their homei after some years of 'service, and resumed their former occupations. Moll came frequently to visit his friend Ochs, who was married at Cologne. The young married folk always received and treated him with much affection. The judicial authority took cogni zance last year of the double disappearance of Moll's step-mother, twenty-eight years old, and of his own young brother; search vas made after the per sons, but in vain. Mull having given rise to some suspicions, was arrested ; but, from want of sufficient proofs, was discharged from arrest, after a detention of some months, and re:umed his connection with Ochs as before. The latter wishing to make purchases at the fair of Putz yen, not far from Beul, held on the Bth of September, set out on the 7th, having procured sixty Prussian crowns, informing his wife that he . would takelodgings at the house of his friend Mull. After she had waited the return of her. husband fur eight days, she began to feel considerable anxiety, and sent a confidential person to make inquiries for him.— This messenger arrived at Beul on the 18th, and saw 8101 l %%eating the clothes, and using the pipe of his friend Ochs ; struck with these signs he returned to Bonn, and communicated them to the -officers of 'jtis tice. The Judge Instructor instantly dispatched the civil power, and having surrounded Moll's residence, proceeded to make a domiciliary visit. They presently discovered. some loose planks on the floor of the work house; on raising which they- perceived the extremities of mutilated holies stickifig out from a hole -filled . with earth, like those in which peasants usually preserve their potatoes. They dug out three bodies in succession, the first of which was recognized as that of the unfortunate Ochs. Wilde the officers were busied in the work of exhumation, Moll escaped through the window, and baffled the vigilance of the police,with such caution that they were not able to retakii him until isine o'clock at night, when he' was discovered in the middle of a field, in which he had lain down through excessive fati gue. He was brought back to the Judges' Office, where be found the three bodies exposed to view : at first he wished to deny 'everything, but the impressive and inge nious interrogations of the Judge pressed !links° closely, that he became confused and inconsistent in his an swers, and in the end the voice of conscience succeeded In wringing from him the horrible confession of his crimes. He then confessed, with floods of tears, that fifteen months ago he assassinated his step-mother. He afterwards avowed that he assassinated his o A n brother, because he possessed the power of revealing the former deed; he moreover confessed the murder of his friend Ochs, which he committed on the night of the 7th of this month. An inquiry into many Other murders is Oti foot, which also are attributed to this monster, and on' which he still continues to undergo examinations. — M. Schiller, son to the celebrated poet, is employed in con(fucting the investigation. • We understand that the inhabitants of Beul, fired with detestation of the murderer Moll, assembled last Saturday, and destroyed his house, which was situated iii an isolated spot at the extremity of the village. Alter they bad demolished it from roof to foundation, they Collected the combustible materials, set them 'on fire, and scattered the ashes to the winds. This act of simul taneous indignation was performed in a moment, and was followed by no other exces.—Coh.stitutiamici. DAVID HOME met Madame —, a Dutch Lady-of rank and literary talents, at the house of the Earl of FIFE, at Whitehall. They were exceedingly pleased with c.ch other, and the native of Batavia observed, that where Mr. HUMS was, no one ought to think of eating. • The justice of this remark was, in some respect, ven fied ; for, although the dinner was excellent, some chickens, which had been reserved for a bonne bouche, were ordered to be removed, and placed at the fire ; and the dissertation of Mr. Hums was so long, that a cat actually ran away with them ! E LEG ANT GLASSES, FURNITURE, &C.—The Nobility and Gentry are invited to inspect the Ware-rooms of COOPER and Sox, 93, Bishopigate-Within, where is et hibited an assortment of new andsecond-hand Plate • (ilasses, admirably suited to every description of draw ing or dining rooms. The prices are just :educed 40 per cent. on Plates Measuring 100 inches by. 7.2, and up wards; and on those of smaller dimensions the altera tion will be found equally important. The extensive preference given to this Establishment is th.inktully ac kz.owledged by the Proprietors, who, in their endea vours to evince their gratitude, by manufacturing arti cles in a superior manner, at prices suitable to the times, hope to merit a continoatice of public support. In the. furniture department is comprised every new and ele ga:st article of Upholstery Cabinet, and,. Chair-work, regulated upon such a scale of' economy as to demand atid easurethe•patronige of reek and fashion. Tuesday last a great sensation was created in the town of Maidstone, by a report that a person named William Lansell, one of the patients•of a• quack doctor • (James Kean), practising near the Cavalry Depot, in this town, had died under the Medical Gentleman's hands. By some it was asserted that the unfortunate deceased ,ex pired with his mouth full of the Doctor's powders; by others it was said that the • Doctor had bled his patient too freely. But these rumours as to the cause of the man's decease proved to be incorrect; but that he died in the house or hovel of the Doctor was too true, and the cause and manner of his death will be shewn by the following particulars of the Inquest. -WeJnesd.iy morning, at ten o'clock, the Inquest was; held at the New Inn, before C. STACEY, Esq. Mayot, and Cuioner. Previous to the examination of the witnesses, the Jury went to view the body at the Doctor's lodging. The place in which' it lay was very small, and appeared like a wash-house, and the smell, either of the room or the body, was extremely offensive, but it was the Doctor's be&chamber, and he had actually lain in it all night by the side of his departed patient. The first witness examined was Anne Bennett, bet ter known by the familiar appellation of " Moll," by which the Doctor always addresses her. She deposed as follows : • I first saw deceased yesterday morning ; he was taken out of a gig by two men. lie was very bad, and they put him into my chair, and he sa , . warming his bands a little while, for he was very cola and chilly. He asked me for a pipe, and I gave him one, and he smoked a little while. He then put it down, and I went out. I heard him say something, but what I don't know; and when I came in he seemed to me in a doze, and I thought, as he was so fatigued, I would say nothing to him. Mr. Kean soon came in, and looked at him, aild said, " he is going very fast."_ Mr. Kean then xvent to the coach (the New Inn), to tell the young man that brought him, that he was dying, and he died just as the young man came into the room. Deceased had taken nothing to eat or drink except a quarter of a glass of brandy, which I got him because he was so damp and chilly: he . was damp, but not to say wet. Mr. Kean lodges in .my house; he has been there nearly three years; his name is James Kean. lam quite sure deceased had nothing in my house but the brandy. I never saw him befoi e, and I wish I had not seen him now, for I'm almost dead myself along of it ; he said he was very ill, and had been so a long time; he spoke to Mr. Kean about it. He mourned and groaned a great deal. He said something, but I don't know what; he went off very easy. Mr. Kean never saw him before ; the man said he wanted to have come before, but they dilly dallyed him about. There were strangers in the house, who came to Mr. Kean. Ido not know their names. We never ask them where they come from. The next witness called was James Kean, when in waddled the Doctor. In the person of this modern Es culapius we beheld a fat, pale old man, with an im mense 7 large surtout, bearing some half dozen collars ; and if we had not been prepared for the appearance of Doctor Kean, we should have supposed him to be a re presentative of the Grave-digger in Hamlet. The exa mination of the Doctor was as follows : Coaonra—What is your name? Witness—My name is James Kean. Commea—What are you? _ Witness—Why, I am a man as sells—no ! not sells—lgiuto away pills 6,r anything else that lays in the way. no trade. I charge nothing nor does not defraud nobody. Como:ea—You are not charged with any such thing now. It is time enough for you to defend yourself when you are accused. Witness then proceeded with his testimony. "He com'd to me yesterday in a gig; I can't account for the cause of his death ; he was dead before he came to me ; he was dead as near as possible. He was very low, and shivering and shaking, and I sent for three pen'orth of brandy. He sot down and soon died. It rained very hard, and he was very wet. He was lugged out of the 'gig; there was ,a crutch•and a stick, but he was carried out of gig. I could hardly speak to him, nor he to me, he was so weakly. He told me as how he'd got a pain here (pointing to his chest), and had water in his chest. I giv'd him nothing but the brandy. ' Two women coned from hi . s place this morning, and they Mould him 16 or ,16 .years, the young man as I b rought him's not here; . - The CORONER It seems to have been a very imprudent thing to bring the poor man hers in an open gig." Doctor Kean--" Oh yes, (shaking his head) they oughtn't to ha' brought the man at all. lie warns lit to be moved twenty yards.— He mid from Canterbury. He was in a deep decline, that wore iris coniplaint." After this luminous display of learning and medical skill, Doctor Kean waddled oat; " to give away pills or anything else that lay in the way." • Mr. Eyre, surgeon, examined—My opinion is, that the deceased died of complicated disease of the abdo minal viscera. The damp air, without the fatigue, might have been sufficient to hasten his death. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a ver dict—" Deceased died by the visitation of Goy, has tened by the fatigue of his journey." We have considered fit a duty to society to give a full report of the above Inquest. The doctor, m whose house the deceased expired, is a man who does not pro fess to have any education. He declares . himself to have an intuitive skill, " above the reaAh of artr and which lie cannot communicate to any one (which we believe).. This skill he has by virtue of his being the seventh son of a seventh son I His manners, appearance, and lan guage, are the most repulsive that can be imagined. His custom in fine weather is to stand_witiront a coat before the door of hismansion, looking out fOr customers, and as soon as he spies a cart, or anything that bodes a job, lie returns in and puts on the coat /state in which he figured before the Jury. But notwithstanding his ignorance and other amiable qualities, people come to this man from all quacters. The sick are brought to him lying on beds in casts, some of whoM lie dOes not suffer to be taken out, but merely crosses their foreheads with his linter, which he' declares to be quite as useful as his medicine.

This morning, pre vious to their *deFiarture, Major Abuts, and the 0111- . cers of that distinguished Regiment gave a d jeane a la fourchette, to Lady BAKER, diction. Colonel and Misses Bnowrr, and a select party of fasbionables. At twelve o'clock they arrived in the barrack-yard; the morning being delightful, they walked on the pa rade, and were first conducted by the-Officers to the Regimental School for the education of the soldiers' children, and heard them recite and read different pas sages of Scripture, &c. and were well pleased with their proficiency, reilecting great credit .on their military tutor. Atter which, this respectable assemblage re paired to the Riding School, to witness the new method of riding, as established by Lieutenant-Colonel PETERS, Ridingmaster-General. They were highly gratified with the preci , :ion and dexterity with which the sword and lance exercise was performed by the Light Horsemen. At two o'clOck, the r.loors of the spacious Mess-Room were thrown open, and exhibited a brilliant service•of plate, with tables tastefully spread with choice delica cies, richlruits, &c. of which the Company partook.— The excellent Band of the" Regiment playing; on_thei lawn, loyal and martial airs.

At .six o'clock the party_took leave, (the band striking up "God save the King,") and returned to Weymouth, highly delighted with the fet,ive scene. POLICE INTELLIGENCB. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday the City Solicitor attended at the Justice-room, for the purpose of charging several Jews, who reside in Cutler-street, and carry on the old clothes business, with having violated the New Street Act. It appeared from the evidence, that the respectable inhabitants of Houndsditch, Cutler-street, and the neighbouring streets where the Jews arc in the habit of congregating, have been of late so an noyed and obstructed in their business,.as to be obliged to resort to Mr. Taylor's Act, although that Act makes head against the long established practice of the JeWs, and has given these people more vexation than even a fresh religious persecution would be likely to cause. The East India Company's warehouses being sometimes absolutely unapproachable, on account of the barking system of about 500 of those New Street Act offenders, and the accumulation of their old clothes round about the premises, the Hon. Directors have found it necessary to join with the inhabitants for the correction of the evil. Numerous battles take place amongst the clothesmen for customers, who are sometimes carried forcibly front the place of dealing of one Jew to that of another, and compelled to purchase of the stronger. It has actually become dangerou's for a mart in a shabby genteel coat to enter this notorious mart without in tending to buy, for in the course of his walk he receives such rough handling front the barkers, as to be compelled to supply himself with a substitute for the garment on which they fix their quick and sagacious notice. The City Solicitor thought proper to establish the charge only against two defendants, who had stopped persons on the pavement, and solicited them to deal. The Alderman gave directions to the officers to seize any goods they might find exposed for sale in the street, and to prosecute the owners, who, after this warning, could have no excuse for con tinuing the praCtice. The porter of the Golden Cross inn, Charing-cross, was sum moned for having extorted from Mr. Davies, an inhabitant of Crosby-square, more than was due for the porterage of a parcel. Mr. Daviei said the charge Involved a question of some public importance: he had been in the habit - of receiving parcels from Norfolk, directed to be left for him at the Flower-pot ; but the coach-owner, instead of dropping and sending them from thence by the porter, chose that they should be taken past the 'Flower-pot, through the City, and left at the Golderf Cross, Charing-cross. Front the Golden 'Cross they were sent back into the City, and the Com- - plainant charged thirteenpence a parcel for the porterage,..instead of threepence, which would have been the porterage frem the Flower-pot. The porter said it would cause great inconvenience to stop and " break bulk" at the flower-pot, as more than 100 parcels were brought daily for that place, and it would occupy a vast deal of time to unload. ,J3esides, the coach-office was not open at six in .the morning when the coaches came by, and nobody could expect the defendant's porters to go up to the Flower-pot these cold mornings to wait for the coaches. Alderman LUCAS decided that the coach-owners were bound to drop the parcels at the nearest booking-office at which parcels were booked for the coach. The defendant was convicted in the penalty of 10s. and costs. BOW-STREET. Ellourrrs.—Miss Huggins informed his Worship (Mr. Mis 'num) she had the misfortune to be plagued with a very bad fe male apprentice, and she hoped that the law would rid her of the nuisance; for really it was quite unbearable. This same female apprentice, a fine little girl of about 14, was placed before the Bench, and Miss Huggins gave a terrible account of the miseries she had endured from the " young thing." She (the " young thing") had no more manners than one of the brute crea tion, and no more idea how to demean herself to a Lady than a young Hottentot. She would often forget to say " Ma'am," and would come out with her blunt " No" and " Yes," even before company. But what was more shocking than all this, it was but the other night that having • occasion for a chair upon which she (Miss Huggins) was sitting, engaged in the important occupation of putting her hair in paper, she approached her in her usual tandliar manner, and said, "I want the chair." This was too much for human .• • patience, and getting up from her scat, Miss Huggins took hold of the young thing by the wrists, and said she would keep her on that self-same spot until she added "if you please, Ma'am." The girl cried, struggled, and at last Ccould his Worship belicve it possible?) actually struck her on a very delicate place; even on her left bosom. This account was corroborated by Miss Huggins's mamma, and Miss Huggins, junior. The poor girl, who stood sobbing by the side of her well-bred. mistress, assured his Worihip that Miss Huggins struck herself ; for she took hei by the wrists crossways, and shook her to and fro, and at length brought her own hands in contact with the delicate place. It feather appeared, that the girl is an orphan, and was appren ticed by. the parish of St. Martin. The purpose for which she wanted the chair was to make up her bed, there being no room for a bedstead in the kitchen; a and that you know, yobr Worship," said Miss Huggins, "is quite as well ; a- person sleeps very com fortably upon chairs." • Mr. Missuum. said it was quVe clear that the mistress and her apprentice would never , do well together, ancnberefore the inden ture wag discharged. Thelarish officers said they would take the girl into the work house until another situation could be-procured tor--bier. • WORSHIP-STREET. lUPOIRT*NT ohnion, _the bakes tyrant, headed a btch . 01‘20 bakers to this o ffi ce, against 111 of whom he had laid informations under the recent statute for the sate . of bread. The first information exhibited was against .

OttaWai, Johnson's witness, stated, that on. Saturday • hat, he Went into the defendant's shop, and asked for a loaf. The defendant ephed,, what a half-quartern Ipaf 1 and_gaee it.to him as such,with . ut weighing the same, for which he paid sid. • ilere the defendant put in a bill, which may be seen in- 'almost 'every baker's • window in littPtetPrrrpart of the metropolis, on (which was written—• Informers take notice, no peck loaf, half peck, quartern, or half-quanern, is sold here." Magistrate (14. Twvroan)—This will not avail you. Here are two oaths against you, and unfortunately the lasi rest! icys me front receiving your Oath. '.'

This question arose iu consequence of the mother of an . mate child refusiog to give her address, lest it exposed her charan,, in the neighbourhood in which she lived. Mr. Serjeant SELLON finding himself called upon to decide, stated, that as he felt the case to be of importance, as establishing a precedest, he must take time to consider of his decision, and also to enable WA to avail himself of the opinions of his brother Magistrates. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROSIN:Mr AM) I:II:RGLARY.—An information was given at this Office yesterday, of a rob , .ery committed in the house of Mr. Xi. net, 13, Upper Seymour-street, Edgeware-road, on the night i f the 4th instant, or morning of the sth. In consequence, Wak,,, 4 active officer, was dispatched to examine the prentises. He foci that they got into the area, cut a pane of glass out of the kitchen. window, and then, with a centre-bit, cut :nit the pane! of tin:shutter, and drew back the bolt with which it was fastened, entered the kitchen, and proceeded up stairs, where they broke open the !art of the parlours. They collected a quantity of table-lineu, pint, and wearing-apparel, to the value of nearly 1001. and before they departed, took front the larder a ham, calf's head, a bottle of pert, a bottle of ru'u, a bottle of gin, and the remains of an arplei4e, which they either consumed or carried off. They went no hightt up than the parlours. The family, it appeared, were ail asleep durbi the robbery. It was supposed that some of them must have bent wounded, as a quantity of blood was found near the kitchen-win. 'tow where they entered. They left behind them a large knife, such as is used by leather-cutters. Wales, the officer. was of opinion that they must have been experienced hands, Crum the manner in which the locks were broken and the house entered. UNION-HA LI.

" I sha'nt be much longer, Sir," says be, " but a cheese of this size is not so soon eaten as ynu may think."—Jack Ketch being one day asked on what ground he claimed the clothes of the persons he banged, answered—" as their executor." _ _ Pr 1.1.1'd A ICI NO.—Pt eviously to the art of pinlnahiag being discovered, the haberdashers' shops supplied the Ladies with fine scraped skewers, and the prickles of thorns, which they were obliged to make me of to fasten their clothes together. These u ere generally manufac. tured in Wales by the _Welshwomen, who curiously scraped and polished them, and gave them the name of " Pin-drawers." But such trade, in 1625, totally failed on the arrival of John Tilsby, who then went to settle in Gloucester, and introduced the art of pin-making. Mr. Tilsby found .plenty of customers for his pins, the .Ladies being. soon convinced that the pins which I.e ma nufacturc d were much more convenient for di ess than the scraped skewers and prickles of thorns, of which they had theretofore been compelled to make use. This new trade proved of great utility to the city in general, as employment was found for inlay hqudred persons, men, women and children. Mr. Tilsbv's trade so gleatly increased, that he was enabled to amass a considerable sum of Money, as the reward of his unwearied indos.' try. The. process of the pin manufactory is prover bially curious ;—the.article, small as it is, passes through at least twenty-five hands, from its first state . of roues wire, to its being stuck in paper for sale. There ate now established in Gloucester several pia-manufac• turers, the inland trade of which, and the quantities ep ported, are very considerable. THE Meamarn.—There appears in the last number of Constable's Edinburgh Magazine a curious comma• nication on 'this subject, from Mt. Lawrence &ham stone, surgeon, of Zetland. He says, that an auusil answering-to the following description, so far as the ac count of the six fishermen who captured it can be de' trended on, was actually in their possession for thief hours, but unluckily, from some superstitious dread injuring it, they returned it to its native element, aid thus prevented the scientific identification of an animal, which appears to have very nearly resembled what has been generally regarded as a merely fabulous cre a t Ke P Length of the animal, three feet—body without scalesw hair—silver grey above, whitish below, like the bunlas skin—no gills were observed, no fins on the bag.k . cr belly—tail like that of a dog fish—body ve r y thlik over the breast—by the eye, the girth might be betwo'n • two and three feet —the neck short, very distinct fr* the head and shoulders—the body rather depreso- 1— • the anterior extremities very like the hum an hand ! alO.Ol the length of a. seal's paw, webbed to about an Ind °!, the ends of the fingers—mamma; as large as thoW.K., • a woman—mouth and lips. very distinctrand reseuhig the human. 3IARRIED.
