AUG. SO THIRD POLICE REPORT. We extract the following particulars from the evidence an nexed to the above Report:— The Rev. Mr. Ford,—" (i•enerally speaking, the prisoners cwutidrr transportation a benefit more then a punishment: the young ones are delighted with it, and Unsold ones are re joiced at the expectation of meeting their old acquaintance." Mrs. Elizabeth }\y, in her evidence, stated that several persons, husbands in anxiety to follow their wives, mad rice Bata, were induced to commit crimes. She instanced one woman who lately sublimed death, viz. Charlotte Newman, who was actuated by a desire to follow her husband to Bo tany Bay, who committed the same offence; but it was thought proper to make an example of her, and she was exe cuted. _ Mr, Tienjamin Baker ' in Ms evidence respecting forgery, says, there is a material difference of feeling among the pri. sowers with regard to forging Banknotes and that of uttering theml; those who utter forged notes thinking themselves of fenders in the lesser degree; and in genet 41 ‘i ituess finds they hive been characters who have been drawn into the commis. 'ion of the crime by•the craft and subtlety of others., They, are principally youth. .One of the young Ries now under or ders for execution told witness, that the person who seduced him was in the habit of passing at least 4410 notes a week, and that lie was the person .who supplied Finuey, Spicer, and Kelley, witb notes to a considerable amount. Mr. Newman, late keeper of Newgste, speaking of the ef.l i feet of capital punishment, says, twenty is the greatest nuns-1 tier lie ever knew suffer at once. .There were twenty .one intended for cite. day, but only nineteen were executed There were two execatians following each other —one nine. teen, the other twenty. These were alter the riots in MO. -Mr. Newman says, from his observations, the effect of capital punishment has not been to serve as au example to the public. p e rsona of bad disposition embrace crime as a dangerous pre. t feesion—a goose in which they way get prizes as .w ell as Llanks ; and when they are unfortunate, there is a sort of. heroism attending B, and.they do not wish to appear cow. artily. He remembered one instance, many years ago, a . Goya the name of Cox, who had been tried at the Old Bailey several times, and had received many addresses from the court, and lie used, jokingly, to call the Recorder " Godfa. then." He came to be executed•at last, and the night before his execution, he amused himself with engraving on a plain' halfpenny, the figure of a man. hanging v aud W. C. on the other side. He was not above nineteen outwenty at the time of kis death. When young be used to go about with a pin-a fore, and a ball or top in his hand, which be used to throw down areas, and by that means gain admission to the house, and steal sumethingirom it. • The Kcsiish Courier says—"'llie hops have Aenerally proved so vastly in their appearance within the last fort night, that the.duty,lias been laid at 140,0001. and the quality promises to bears good as the peodaiec will be large.—Preking will he general throughout the county this week.—The harvest has now generally terminated throughout the county, arid has been gotsin in the highest possible order.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER. POLICE. GUILHALL. A boot closer, named titaug D rutnii, WilA has a wife and six children, was charged by a bout maker, of Skintier.street, named Miller , with having detained work int p tope' ly. The act of Parliament directs, that work given to tltuse employed by boot makers shall he given in within eight days. The work alluded to was detained dare months. The excuse of the.drfenditut was, that sickness prevented punctuality. The penalty affixed to thr violation at the act is, from one to three mouths' imprisonment. Mr. Miller said, he thought it his ditty, for the sake of the public, to punish the defendant, and therefore resisted the arguments, and, in fact, the entreaties of Alderman Heygate, who represented, in the most feelinz manner, the ivories likely to ariqe from this indulgence. .Alderman Hey gate then mentioned, that, the case demanded the attendance of two magistrates, and it was therefore brought before him and Alderman Waithman. Mr. Miller persisted for a long time in Ws intention of punishing the defendant, and added to his farmer reasons that the defendant's object was to embezzle the property. The Magistrates were aro prised at this new charge, but they soon observed that Mr. Miller, if pushed to no extre• mity, would not insist upon what was so remote from his first view of the subject. Alderman Hey - gate again told Mr. Miller to consider that the defendant bad a family who were solely dependent upuir _ Alderman Waithinan said, the defeadant had to rely upon the mercy of his accuser, for the act was imperative. He begged that the complainant would consider whether the present situation of the defendant. would not prevent any rev petitions of the conduct objected World whether the public would not think the matter sufficiently pushed to secure the future good conds:ct of those who were employed to stork at that trade. At length Mr. Miller said he would accept of an apology fro:u the defendant, whose wife was pleading hard for him, with all the officers and listeners about the sice, with a wretched looking child in her arms. A woman, named Jones, complained against a broker, named Swaine, fur having charged more than,was allowed by Act of Parliament, upoa.levying a distress upou.„hrc goods.
