On reco ve from the dreadful agitation of his feeling!, he from the poor perdeent • girl heard the following detail :—She was care lesdr roanting through the fair, when, to all appearance, a re spectably dressed l a dy accoste d h er , an d h av i ng entere d into , conversation, gave her cakes, &c. took her into several of the show-booths, and finally invited her home to tea : then the wily wretch opened her infamous plans, and, under a promise of very rich presets% she in a moment of intoxication wax rendered up a victim to the infamous rapacity of this base woman. Being then afraid of seeking her uncle or friends, she knew not what to do, and was persuaded to seek a base subsistence by prostitution ; she deathbed the many revoking scenes of vice towbich she was a witness, and also the enormous charges made on her for board and dress, and to defray those charges.die was sent out by.her unfeeling keeper, and when she was met by her uncle, she w is endeavouring to overcome the natural modesty of her sex, ROt being thoroughly versed in the necessary qualities observed by the tnhiv experienced prostitute. The applicant said, in con clusion, that his object in bringing her was to seek advice how he should act. . The girl was In tears, and laid her face during the recital, and skewed by her loud su bs that she, when too late, was convinced of the folly of rejecting the advice of her real and more expe rienced friends The Kigi4trate said he could not do anything: if she was again guilty of theft, she should be brought to this Office. The applicant said he should attend to this advice, and also observed he would proceed against the base woman who had been the means of his niece's destruction. Quests-Sul:sat—A tradesman residing in Crown -street, West minster. was bmught up, at the instance of his wife, for 'salting her. The complainant stated, that she had been married to the defendant only tett months. On the 433 September she had taken out a• warrant against him for kicking het shins; but, thinking he would alter his conduct, and. be sociable, she did not cause it to be oxecuted,:but he having again 'salted her, she•had /dm apprehencled.—The Magistrate asked her to state on what day she had been 'salted, or rathermsaulted ?—She blushed. and hesitatingly said, she only wanted her husband to be sociable The defendant said, his wife was a most capricious woman, and he was at a loss to know for what he had been brought up: She had everything she wished for; they certainly had had a few words on account of her whims. She would, whibt he was at work, blow out the candles I and, while in the dark. take the opportunity of blowing him up: at other times she would drag the chair from under him, and, in fact, he had no peace I The complainant replied, a Why don't you be sociable then, and act like a husband—that's all I want ?" The Magistrate discharged the warrant, and advised the hus band to take her home, and be sociable. They then left the office, TOWN-MALL, SOUTHWARIL--. Elizabeth Vian, between 19. and 20 years of age, Henry Hancock, about 50 years of age, th,t ad mirer of the Lady, and Mr. Thomas Vian, the father of the Lady, about 60 years of age, appeared before the Magistrate. The Alderman•made repeated inquiries of each of them, as to the nature of th-lr application, before he could get an answer; till at last the young Lady said to Mr. Henry Hancock, " You tell the Gentleman what we want." Mr. Hancock then said—That young woman and myself wish to be married. I have got ber father to give his consent, and the young woman says she has no objection to marry me, if I can make her my lawful wife ; so, your Worship, I have applied to you for an affidavit. Alderman SMITH —lf you will go to the Chief Clerk, he Will fill up the affid ivit, and I will swear you to the truth of it. Hancoek—l have been married, Sir. Alderman—l should suppose so. You must say you are a widower in the affidavit then. ;Hiss Vian—You had better state to his Worship, about your not being sure of your wife being dead. . Hancock—Why, your Worship, I was married about four teen years ago ; my wife and I did not agree, and so we parted ; she went off from me, and I went off to India, in the service of the East Ind a Company. I afterwards entered into his Ma jesty's service, and nine years have elapsed since I have seen my wife. On my return to England, I was informed that my wife was dead. Alderman—Did you write to your wife while you was away, or have you inquired about her since your return? Hancock—No, your Worship, I did not ; I was told she was dead, and that satisfied me, for I did not want to see her ; but. I have no doubt of her being dead. Alderman—The young woman, if she married you, would have a hopeful prospect ; for if your wife is alive, you wouli ba liable to he tried for bigamy, and transported; and any children you might have by this young woman would be bastards, and she could not compel you to support her. Miss Vian—l cannot think of marrying, unless your Worship says there is no impediment. Hancock (much agitated)—l am sure my wife is dead. Alderman—You had better advertise her, and if you cam dis cover where she died and was buried, then you can legally marry ; but, after what you have admitted, I must decline swearing your affidavit. You cannot swear that you are a widower, and the Act requires that you must give a description of yourself ; you must say you are a bachelor or a widower. But what does the father of this young woman say to the match? Mr. Vian—l know Mr. Hancock to be an industrious man ; he is able to support my daughter, and she has no objection to marry him, provided she can become his lawful wife; and I have no objection to the match, if his wife is dead. Alderman—Well, I advise you to discover where the woman died, and then I shall have no objection to give the affidavit. Miss Vian then declared, that she would not marry without complete proof of the demise of Mr. Hanenek's first wife. . Alderman SMITH said, that the new Marriage Act had been of lame service, for he heliored but fur an affidavit being re quired. the young woman would have been sacrificed to the ap plicant, Hancock, who probably had a wife alive. Mrs. Catherine Alicock was charged by a respectable trades man, (both residing in the Borough-road), with kicking up a row before his liouse, and charging him with improper rand. liarhies with other women, while he had an honest pains-taking wife at home !—Mrs. A. was ordered to be quiet, and find bail. Taaxas Pouca,- , -.Tauses Connaway was yesterday brought up for re-examination, charged by WilHim Modd, of the ship Friends, lying in the Sum:) , Canal, with robbing him of eight sovereigns and 13s. _ . Moda stated, that on Thursday last he received his wages, amounting to 10!. 13s. V. 13s. of which he locked in his chest, and the other 21. he took on shore, and did not return to the ship again till Friday morning, when he found that the chest had been broke open, and the money stolen; the prisoner hid been on board in the interval. Mrs. Needham stated, that the prisoner was a lodger of her's, and that he left her eight sovereigns before he went out on Fri day morning last ; and he bought a watch of her. She had no idea of the suvercigns being stolen.—Committed for trial. marra-rrarev.—A talkative little Irishman was brought up from St. George's Watch-house in the East, where he had been . confined since the preceding night, charged with cutting his son's head open with a quart pot, cruelly beating his wife, and break ing all the furniture. The prisoner's son, a stripling of very decent exterior and good address, appeared with a dr ea df u l wound on t h e s id e o f th e head, which, he said, was inflicted by his father without the least pro vocation, and that this was not the first time he had so treated him. The wife, who was a little woman equally loquacious as her husband, then came forward, and having made half a dozen curt sies to his Worship, pulled off her little old black bonnet, in order the better to expose to view an awful pair of black eyes. Having thus divested her rapid, she placed a hand on each eye and ex claimed " See here, your Houour. what • the brute Paddy has done !" She forthwith took from a basket the broken dial and fragments of a wooden clock, which she said was the handy-work of Paddy, for that he had " shatterbd to tr thousapd pieces every stick and crockery ware in the house, even the bedstead." Pat, who was standing at the bar, at this staged the business, threw himself oat his knees and implored mercy. saying ids wife • . EA: ICi:SßvEN,PartCilt . • • • Carpe diem— lie promptly wise.

Bail to a large amount was offered and refused ; she WAS again committed for further examination on Tuesday next. Mmsstost-Housz.—A fellow, named Davis, who pretended to be mad, was brought before the LORD Maros, charged with hav ing committed a robbery in a fishing-boat, lying off Billingsgate. Thomas Ingram, one of the owners of the boat called the Prince Regent, stated, that in the morning he left the boat be fore eleven o'clock, and upon his return found the cabin broke open; his box also broke open, and 3/. stolen. Another box was likewise forced open, and the contents taken away. There were missing, besides the money, some of the wituess's clothes, and the register and license of the boat. An officer stated, that he apprehended the prisoner In a pub lic-house iu Ddikhouse-lane, with the clothes of one of the com plainants upon him ; he had no money. The prisoner, upon being asked whether he had anything to say? began to talk nonsense, with the view of passing for a mad man, but suddenly stopped, on being told that be was perfectly well known:—lle was committed for trial. Girsuntia.L.---Rusutav Iv Szawrra.—Yesterday, Lucy PlTT sans, a motherly looking, woman, and Samuel Parsons, alias Stokes, were charged before Sir C. FLOWER, the sitting Alder man, under the following circumstances : The female prisoner was engaged in attending as nurse upon Mrs. Spriggs (the wife of a hosier in Fleet-market), who has lately lain in, and Stokes, her pretended nephew, was iu the habit of calling there very frequently to see his aunt. Nurse was called down to him on Wednesday evening, and after a short conversation together, she borrowed 6d. of Mr. Spriggs, which she gave to the nephew, in order, as it seemed, to get rid of him. lle was then evidently drunk, and on quitting, Nurse begged her master, if the nephew should call again that evening, to say she was not at home. He did call again about half an hour after, rather more intoxicated than before, insisted on seeing his aunt, would not believe she was gone out, and, in short, conducted himself in so disorderly a manner that it was found necessary to have him taken to the watch-house. When taken to the Compter and searched according to custom, ' two pair of stockings were found in a bundle he had with him, which Mr. Spriggs recognized as his property; and on his per son three duplicates two of them for property, which, on inquiry, in the morning, turned out to have been stolen from Mr. Sptiggs's shop. One of the pledges, a remnant of very fine flannel had beeti previously missed. As the fellow had never been permitted to go into the shop, it was concluded that be mutt have had the assistance of his aunt, and a constable was dispatched to take her into custody. In the interim the fellow's lodgings were traced out, where it it was soon learnt that nurse and he were not at all related, and she had supplied him for the last six weeks with the means of defraying the rent of the apartment. Stokes prudently held his tongue, but the female prisoner was extremely voluble, and had prepared herself with a very plausi ble defence. She allowed she had given the flannel to Stokes to pledge, but had bought it of a Mr. Stone, the person whom Alt.. Spriggs had succeeded in the shop, and whose stock he bad taken. It was no wonder, therefore, her master thought it was his, as it was probably cut off tht: piece, the remainder of which was I among the stock he had subsequently purchased. Mr. Spriggs was, howev-r, enabled to swear that the flannel had never formed part of the stock of Air. Stone, but had been purchased subsequently by himself. As Mr. Spriggs stated that various other articles had been missed, the prisoners were remanded for a few days, in order to give time for the necessary inquiry, whether anything further could be traced to their possession. - - - - - Mermanloucu-svaage.—Yesterday, a good-looking girl at tired in a very handsome dress, was brought to this Office by an elderly man of respectable appearance, who requested the •Ma gistrate's advice how to act. The girl had, he said, some dresses not her own. The applicant then related the following affecting story:— The girl was his niece, and an orphan ; he had brought her up since she was eighteen months old, and had, some time since, when she became of a proper age, sent ber to a very excellent seminary, within a few miles of the metropolis, and was to pay a very heavy sum for her education and board; but he lamented to say, a kind of fatality attended her. He had, not long after she was at school, received a letter from her Governess, stating that the girl had evinced to a very alarming degree an iinfirtu nate disposition to pilfer ; she had filched from several other scho lars a number of articles, and in many other respects displayed a disposition inclined to depravity. The Governess concluded by requesting him to take her immediately from the school : consequently he was obliged to bring her home, and then she, for the first time, seemed inclined to rebel aga.nst his authority. She often expressed a dislike to controul. He, however, again placed her in a situation at a school. where she remained tur a short time; and at the time of Bartholomew Pair, she obtained • leave from her mistress to go there to see the amusements. This kindness, the applicant with great emotion observed, he had reason to deplore, as since that time, until within two days. he had not seen or heard of his thoughtless niece; and although every Inquiry was pursued, no trace could be obtained of where she was. Having a suspicion that site bad been inveigled into I some haunt of infamy, be and others nightly perambulated the public haunts of the victims of profligacy and distress, but not among these wretched women could he find his niece.— Ills distress of mind at the prospect which appeared to him of , her future vice and misery, almost laid him upon his bed In a I fit of severe illness; but he was aroused by the recollection of his dying brother's Instructions and injunctions respecting- his daughter; and he again pursued most unremitting inquiries; he sought again all the haunts of the poor, friendless , houseless, l un pitied victims of seduction, and endured all the miseries of many inclement nights, in the hope of finding het. His search was at length successful; •he met her walking the streets In a spleudid idress, and he, on accosting her, was affected by the alteration in her appanage, which was then so ihercepstbis, she berstieg was one of the biggest Nil tint ever Goo fnrnied, and "by she ptiVerdingevun each, 'At of her head, and, me a cuckold, your Worship; and hn-v could., put up 'withal& treatment from ins own. wife, I ask a n y man ?" !Catty, turning round, cried coin," you brut-, you know I'OU have beat my head and body as - snit as &decade's (a dish *est common with the Irish. composed of calthanes, &c. mashed op together). See hare; your Worship," pulling off • her shawl, to expose some black marks on her shoulders. She was going . relate several other act. of her htisband's cruelty to her and the Wider's, as she called them, when the Magistrate Said, to cut the story short, the prisoner shntr:d find lutiL Poor 'eat was then removed from the bar, and locked Up until he foetid the sureties requx:rl, arid Katty, and two or three old gosdps, retired to a neighbouring gin -shop In order to drown Sorrow in plenty of blue ruin. An old smasher was charged with attempting to pass a had stor vereign on John Wheatly, tobacconist, Ratcliff Highway. It appeared that the prisoner went to the ptosecutor's shop about ten o'clock on Tuesday night. and called for half a pound of to bacco, in payment fur which he tendered a piece resembling a s tverei k ,m, but which, on examination, turned out to be nothing more thin copper slightly coated over with gold. It was comi siderably lighter than a sovereign, but the impression on each ' side was larger, and very clumsily executed.—. The prisoner wall remanded until the Solicitor to the mint could attend. A most succe sful and daring fraud has been com mitted on some of the mot respectable individuals of Liverpool by two Frenchmen, calling themselves 'Count St. Julien and Chevalier Villeneuve. By some means or other they contrived to impose on an emi• nent banker in Birmingham, who gave them letters to a merchant of this town. They were receised by him in a vet y hospitable maimer, and h • invited it party to meet them at his table. This, of course, gave them currency in society ; they wee invited to the house of another Gentleman, and snort firmed a pretty extensive acquaintance. They re.resented. themselves as a Colonel and %lain , in the army, flee. ingfrom Franceas actors in Berton'. conspiracy. A suba scription was made tier them, and they soon eitibarked for Maranham. On their arrival there they contrived IA swindle sonic of the merchants, and immediately rsturned to Liverpool. Their villainy was in.t dis. covered, and they were again received into society; they had obtained permission to return to France, and .t Gentleman of etis town agreed to accompany them. Previously to their departure they visited all the public buildings, the and charities, and appeared to take great interest in everything con ;ward with education. On their arrival in London' passports were obtained ; our Liverpool friend had occasion to get his watch repaired b 6 .re he set off,• and Count St. Julien accompanied him to Lhe —He was told it wou!d take some time, ant, as he could not wait, the watchmaker lent him another. It is almost needless to say that, before they left Lon.' don, the Count contrived to get the watch out of the• shop on some pretence or other. On their arrival in- France the Count pretended that his pocket had been picked, and our townsman generously offered them . what money they required. On retching the capital they were to take their guest to the chateau of the Count's mother, but it happened, most unexpectedly, that the good lady was from home, at watch circum. stance the greatest disappointment was expressed.—. However, they agreed to dine at a restaura.eur's in the evening ; and, as Villeneuve had to go into the country, he horrowed our townsman's borrowed watch, n order that he might be exact. The time for dinner al rived, nut the crafty dogs came not. Oar townsman oegao to think that a warning ,he received flour a ..harp-sighte i l friend, before he left Liverpool, w as not wi.hout foundation. He returned to the hotel, found a letter addressed by Villeneuve to the Count; he opened it. and read, we-have been discovered, meet :ire at such an hour, at a house in such a street at Versa; iles, v.-morrow." Oar ft iend immediately de.,. .ter mined to go there himself ; he did so, but found no such street or house—he returned, went into his bed-roou, and found that, in his absence, his- port manteau had been opened by the key which was ap. pended to the lent watch, and eve, yling had been carried off. We understand these clever fellows left no trace whatever by which they are likely to be detected, and many of our friend.; ate one laugh. Mg at the other for having been so thoroughly duped. —Liverpool Advertiser. A ediNINE Police Oeetc7n.—„The following ex. traorstinary instance of .sagacity was the subject of •much conve, sation at Paris during last sumnier:—. A Gentleman, follosked by his dog, went to Vaux. hall ; the gendarmes at the door ret used to allow the 'dog to foliow his master. Some dispute ensued, and the Officer came up. Ile found the visitor pleadin& with all his eloquence for permission to be attended by his old and faithful friend. " All I can do said the Officer,ti is to take care of your d og till )ou leave the place; you will find him safe on your return." The Gentleman reluctantly left his dog, and entered among the gay company. Pick pockets were as dextrous in Paris as in London, and he was robbed of his watch. He went out and corm, plained to the Officer. I have been robbed, said be,. and the misfortune was occasioned by your refusal to let my dog follow me. Had the dog been with me, my property would have been sate. The Officer ordered the Police to make search for the depredator, but the person who hayl been robbed said he had not :the least doubt his dog would be able to detect the thief. The Officer was incredulous upon that point, but permitted the dog to go in with his master. The animal dashed among the company, and soon f o l. lowed a dandy, whwe air and appearance intitled him at least to the respect due to a Duke. The gen tleman; who had lost his watch, pointed out the per son to the Police. It is impossible that elegant young man could commit the crime said the gendarmes ,I am certain my dog is not mistaken, replied the owner of the watch, he has traced my property.. The Po• lice arrested the patty; he was searched, and eight watches found in his possession. They were laid upon the floor of a room, and the dog -- selected his master's watch hour the rest; of the owner were yn the case.
