. POL ICE. .414 A yam- tiovss. —Yester ci ay Jobs Cartenier was stgsio brought op, for the purpose of being fi nally exArnined And identified as one of the rioters of the 2d of Decembrr lAft, _ Joseph Dynan, the ynnog man who had already recognized some of the men committed for trial, de posed, that on the day of the riots he %vac in Skin ner street, at Eh, time the shop of Mr. Beckwith was broken open The prisoner was in the midst of the He saw him distinctly, and particularly no ticed that when the rioters retreated towards New gate-street. the prisoner accompanied them, carry-I in.; with him two pistols, one of which was of a snitch less size than that traced to his possession. He was positive as to the person of the prisoner. None of the persons summoned to attend the els stivn were enabled to state that the prisoner was con in the shop of Mr. Beckwith on the day in trestion. Thomas Friend, the Borough Offiter, repeated his former evi.lence, as to the pistol found in the pos session of El:z.beth Owen, which she had offered for sale, and the confession of that person of her having received it from the prisoner. The witness oho states, th it he had discovered that on the night of the 2cl of December he had made his escape into the country. Elizabeth Owen confirmed that part of Friend's evid:nce, which related to receiving the pistol from the prisoner, and subseq•,ently, at his request, offer ing it for sale, when she was in consequence taken into custody. Roberts, Mr. Beckwith's boy, proved that the pis tol produced, and traced to the possession of Carpen ter, was the property of his master, and had been purchased at the sate of Mr. Mortimer, of Fleet-street. The prisoner denied bring engaged in the riot., and again bolemnly repeated that he had received the pistol from a manger, who also offered him am- Munition. The LORD MAYOR said it was positively sworn to by the witness Dynan. and considering the corm• borating testimony of Friend and the woman, he fett it Ins duty to commit him for trial. He was ac cordingly committed, but informed that bail would be taken for his appearance at the Sessions. A man named Ward, the reputed proprietor of a coffee-shop in Bride-lane, appeared to anbwor the gammons of the LORD MAYOR, and shew cause why he kept his house open at unseasonable hours, not only for the reception of prostitutes and the worst of company, bet even without a licence. The particu lars of this case were published yesterday. The defendant said the house was not his own. that he nterely kept it for a Mrs. Smith, whose ill health had obliged her to quit town for Brighton. The Lean MAYOR said this was no exculpation for his offence, and if the person mentioned had even given him charge of the house under the infamous circumstances with which it was turrounded, he was not bound to persevere in such a line of conduct.— His Lordship now declared. that unless a complete reformation or a total abdication of the concern took place, he must expect the consequences of an in dictment. ' The defendant expressed his contrition, and assured the Load MAYOR that a complete removal of the, nuisance sirodel . take place without loss of time.

Armstrong and Bernard Gleed, the Officers, at Norwich, charged with being accomplices with Elizabeth King, a no torioua character, in robbing her reedy furnished lodgings in different • places, of property to a large amount, were finally examined before Jour Girrofte, Esq.—The different brokers who purchased part of the property of the prisoner King, as well as the penults whom she bad robbed, attended, and iden tified the prisoners to have accompanied her. .

PILAW'S, upon tfie charge of murdering Edwatd Stanton, on the morning of the 29th December, .at Bestall's Coffee thop, in George -street, late Dyot-street, St. Gilei'a. The whole of the evidence, which has already ap peared in this Paper, being read by the Chief Clet It, the only addition .1 evidence was Mary Lee, who . said she was in Bestall's Coffee-shop on the morning of the 29th of December, and saw the deceased enter the house with a girl whom he bad meg in Georpe. street i she had enticed him into the house. '1 he girl was acquainted, with the gang of thieves who fremsent Bestall's, and ibe inveigled him in that. • t he y mien gob him. She •sess the e arner bolding the deceased across a ta thers' were endeavouring to rifle his pockets. The deceased forced himself' from them, they pursued him and pushed him into a ch a ir , which broke and let him oe to the ground, and they threw themselves upon him, he smuggled very much, but she could not bear him groan, for they 'made a great noise to pre vent it. & stalk' was very much intoxicated at the time when he heard the chair break, and not till then did he interfere. Re then ordered every one to leave the house. Sbe saw the prisoner Downes drag h the deceased to the door; and Themes Walton, the i sailur. (not yet in custody) who was at his back, I . pushed the deceased through the door-way into the street ; she believes that he tell upon the pavement, but she did not sec him after he was out of the house. The Magistrate said that he should discharge Bea tail and Parker upon their entering into recogn ounces to appear to give evidence against the prisoner Dowses at the ensuing Old Bailey Sessions. Downes was fully committed for trial, and Began and Parker, after being admonished with overifto their future conduct, were discirtged. Union-Hera..—Jails and Mathew Loci were yea terday brought tip, charged. by Mr. Kemble. of PhdpOt-lane. with 'hopping him on the King's high way, and robbing him or his gold watch, chain, &c. Mr. Kemble stated, that oa *nnd.ty last, &boat I . one o'clock, he was walking along the road between Sydenham and Dulwich, when suddenly the two pri soners rushed upon him, each of them armed with a Ilarge hedg e stake. They placed themselves before him, and hn said " Your money ear your life." As Mr, Kemble was unarmed, he did not consider it prudent to resist, he therefore took out hi; w itch, worth about ten guineas, and give it to diem. .1o:,n then said i , D—n your efes, ix ask on." Mr. Kent hle did not wit a second bidding, but proceeded to Dulwich, where having obtained the assistance of Shaw, the constable, they went in purslit of the ran bees; about five o'clock in the afternoon they disco vered them in a cottage at Norwood, and took them into custody. Matthew had Mr. Kemble's watch in his possession, and confessed the robbery. They were fully committed for trial at the assizes. Bow-sriterr.--Yesterday the Rev. Mr. Gurney, , the. Rector at St. Clement Danes, accompanied by his attorney, attended 13,:fore Mr. BIHNiE, and stated that the 'intoner of his parishioners had considerably decreased, in consequence of the lets improvements about Temple-bar, there having been stretts, courts, &c. pilled down, to the amount of two hundred houses, by which he was a considerable loser in his 1 income. The Act of Parliament passed for the its ' provements, directed that the houses built afterwards should pay a compensation amounting to a sum which was calculated to make good the loss the Reitor would sustain, but he had not yet been able to obtain it. He had applied to the Lord Mayor, but it being out of his jurisdiction be could give him no redress. The Act of Parliament passed fot the accomplishment of the improvement of the entrance to the City of London, directed also compensation to be made to the Rector of St. Sepulchre's parish, in which the improvements to Skinner-street,&c. were made : he had applied to know hew the c. nipensa- Lion had been procured by the Rector of that parish, and learnt that several of the proprietors of the new houses having refused to pay the compensation, they had been summoned to the Police Office, Hatton Garden. Mr. Ford, the clerk of that office, recollected the circumstances but Mr. Leach, who was the Sit- ting Magistrate at that time, did not.—lt was stated that there is no Rector's rate in the parish of St. Clement's, or, it was suggested, compensation might be recovered in the same manner. The Reverend Gentleman however stated, that the compensation directed by the Improvement Act of Parliament was not as a remuneration of small tythes, or tythes in any shape, there being none in Westminster, but it was in consequence of the diminution of parisbioners, and the loss the Rector sustained by there being less marriages, births and burials, and consequently less fees received —The Magistrate inquired if the quota upon each house had been demanded in a regular manner ? The Solicitor replied it had frequently beers so, and the Act of Parliament was not explicit how the payment was to be enforced. Mr. BIRNIZ Advised that another demand should be made upon the parties in a formal manner, which he promised should be done ; however, Mr. Gumx statrd that some of the parties were willibg to pay, b►►t waited for its being a general thing. The Magisuate promised to give his opinion on a future day. Joists liftraday, apprehended by Clements, the Horse lestrole, on suspicion el beinx concerned in this late footpad robberies in Essex, undet want dumbly examination. _ _ 'Mr. Coleman, Surgeon, of Laytenstone, Essex, attended, and stated that on Saturday evening fort night, between six and seven o'clock, he was return ing home in his gig from visiting a Lady wler resides a short distince off. When itC had arrived within a mile of his house his horse was suddenly stopped, the lamps to his gig were immediately broken and lights knocked out, it was however light enough for him to see that the robbery consisted of three men, the tallest of them was armed with a bludgeon, the two others were armed with pistols. They kept his horse fast, and demanded his money; he gave them three or' four Al bank notes, but this did.r.ot satisfy them. One of them kid they must li.-re his watch, which he reluctantly gave dice:, it was north /kW. He thought the pri,o.ier resembled the 'hottest sobbei, bat could mit pretend to swear to Mr. BlaNift then interrogated the prisoner as to where he was at the time of the robbery, ate. ordered him to put on his hat, button his coat, &c. Mr. Coleman and his servant were not convinced by seeing him in that state, or hearing him tallt..they only considered him to resemble the shortest rtber. Clements, the conductor of the Horse Patrole in that part of the country, stated, that be met Mr. Coleman on the evening he had been robbed, soon after it had taken place ; and he and the three 'patrol, under his orders went in various directions in puilloit nt the robbers. He apprehended the prisoner in con sequence of his beicg a suspicious character, and finding him in bed at night . with his clothes on. There being no charge substantiated against Mun day, be was discharged. An interesting and elegant looking female applies, to the Magistrate under the following circumstances She stated herself. to be a native at Jamaica.. Maws :she had some little property, and where she formed, unfortunately, a coonexion with a Gentleman, who ' now fills an important diplomatic situation, by whom she had a child, now a very fine boy ; the father of the child stipulated with her when be left Jamaica, that she should bring the boy to England as soon as she thought he was old enough, and could bear the voyage, which she accordingly did, and arrived in England with the child some moths ago. She had since received some assistance occasionally from the father of the child, but he having married, and gone abroad on an embassy, she was now reduced to ex treme distress, and had bees obliged to part with her clothes and other property to purchase the necessaries pf life. The relations of the father since he was g , ltie refused to give her any assistance.—The Magistrate lamented that be had it not in his power, as the pu tative fathet was out of thg kingdom, to assist her ; but advised her to apply. m the Overseers of the Parish in which she-resided. ; Oa the examination, a few days ago, of a Alai who bad bought soma of the goods stolen from the East- India docks, the Magistraft, m a preliminary to bib ieterrogations, addressed him—if what is your Christian mune ?"—" shie , said the son of 84,- , 4 I ant no more a Christian than you ant". LONDON MARKET'S. JANUARr 7. C~rrrov.—The price of Bengal, and Surat. are a shade lower ; the other descriptions are unvaried tbe sales since our last are limited to 800 bags-190 remains taken at 23d. a 23Jid. lOU Maranhams 22d. fitl Baiiias 22id. The following were sold exclusive f duty :-300 common Surars at 110. a 12d. 150 Beogal;•1014/. a 12id. There is a limited supply of Pernainlitici:o Cotton at market ; there are many en quirie, ht that description. We beg reference to the East India Company's declaration as the Cotton to be brought lorward 10th inst. only 2587 bales Surats. and 1530 Bengals are vet declared ; but it is still reported in the mar ket, above 3000 of the latter description will be in triidured if they can be got ready in time for the sale : we, however, give it only as the current ru mour of the day. 41 Laymooed.. JANUARY 4.—The market remains without variation." SUGAR.—We mentioned the loose reports in the make' last Tuesday as to the distillation from grain being prohibited ; that a distiller of some eminence had been offering for Muscovades ; we believe, how ever, no purchases were made, and even allowing it. to have been the case, it has in our mind no weight ; the alarm might be taken of such an event, and an extensive distiller misfit wish to secure his profit by purchasing Sugars ; &distillation from grain coati. titled, his profits were secure ; if otherwise, the rise , in Sugars would make up for the deficiency of his es timated profits in the usual routine of business ; we, for ourselves, see no probability of such an event ; •o long ago as the 6th of November, when the Corn Market was higher than at present, .and every day. .tdsancing, we stated from high authority there was no such measure in agitation ; " the distilleries would not be stopped ;" we see no reason to alter owr opinion ; the markets are declining. To our SubscriSers we, however, afford every inforEation as to this event, and if they have any regar agri cultural reports, of which we think very slightingly, we beg to extract the last paragraph of the one lately printed ; after giving an alarming statement as to the final issue of the harvest of 1816, it thus proceeds: A vast national loss has accrued from the gene. ral necessity of sending the Wheats to market in such an unfit state, and it is supposed that our chief de pendance in the spring, must be upon imports from America and from the /3.11 tic." Towards the close of last week the demand for Muscovades gave way, and purchases were made about Is. per cwt. lower, but the business done after Wednesday was exceedingly limited, scarcely suf ficient to constitute a market currency. It is, how ever, to be observed, there is no probability of any great decline in Sugars ; the prices are Ws. lower thin last year ; the stock 9000 casks less ; the de mand evidently more extensive. The sales of Muscovades this forenoon are limi ted ; the piices are without any variation lance the close of last week ; our quotations are is. lower than prices of Tuesday last. - There was rat - her a revived demand for Refined goods, particularly furl.rge Lumps. andior Crushed bigars ; the shippers evinced a great dispositinn to sec , )re goods fur spring shipments at jaws near the rillettt ganging. Molasses are steady. Tire stoeisid Foreign Sugars is trivial ; there has, however. lately been a very limited drisiand ;—the prices are nearly nominal. CO,/E&—There was much interest excited last week by a considerable sale being bc.rught forward, And of the descriptions which had been,reporbid most in dernand.by private marmot. No public sale had takeu place for some time previously 1 there were only 35 casks 82 bags of British Haitetion Coffee, Almost too trivial to comatose a market currency ; the whole west off, bowever, with briskness ;—the prices'lsi a fls. per cwt. higher, than had been pre vainly realised s Triage 635. 61. good ordinary JR.. mock 75+. 6d. fine ordinary 765. 61 a 795. 6d. dark Dutch tine ordinary 80s. two lots ordinary middling Dutch went of exceedingly high 87s. a 87s. 6J.— The remainder' of the sale eassisurd of 321 casks and 1482 bags Foreign Coffee ; the whole west off freely, but without briskness, and without any ik(l.

Mess nearly at the former currency. Bacon continues depressed. and a farther decline is antici pated. The stock of Butter at market is very consi derable ; there is little appearance of a revival in the demand ; the sale% are very trivial. Haar, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—There is little or no variation in these articles since out last ; the demand has rather given way. The late letters from Peters. burgh aid no commercial news; the Exchange was advanctny, it was 101. and W 4. Woot..— For .Leunesa and prime, Segovia Wool there has been considerable f2emand during the last three weeks, at a small advance. S.tron qualities are a shade lower, and the demand les,ening, in cols sequence of the insprord condition and quAlity or the late arrivals of Spanish Wool ; a decline is the. price of Gilman descriptions is generally anticipated. NAVAL Sroaes.—The late arrivals of Rough Tur pentine are not all sold. Spirits are rather lower ; in Tar, Pitch, Rosin, &c. there is no variation since one last report ; the market is heavy. l'h: prices of Whale Oil are a shade higher ; a small improvement has taken place At Hull ; the quotations of Sperm are nearly nominal on account of a sale advertised ; parcels of Cod Oil have been odd at our quotations, which are consi derably lower. Linseed a shade-higher; in the other descriptions there is ne alteration. RUN, BANDY, AND Horzanni.—Several parcels of Brandy have demo disposed of at our reduced quota tions ; the inserted prices of Rum are the rates asked by the holders, but. the business effected has been very trivial. Geneva may also be stated at a decline of 2d. a 3d. per gallon. TosAcco.—There. is no variation in flit prices or to t h e demand. tgio IRELAND.
