THE NATI defrauded the landlord, to the Barrack Tavern, on Woolwich green, where they boarded during Friday, end slept there that night. They erdered a sumptuous dinner for Saturday. On that day the landlord read in his Newspaper the full description of their tricks at the Artichoke at Blackwell; he suspected they were the men from their appwarace, and presented theist their hilt. They assumed a deal of importance, and said they were upon business with the Artillery regiment, and gave a 101. Sul fulk Bank-note. The landlord sent it to the Bankers to make inquiry, ana the answer was that it was a forgery. He then took them before a Magistrate at Woolwich, who referred them to the Magistrates at the above Office. On Saturday even ing they underwent an examination before Mr. Read, when, on inspection of the note they had tendered to the landlord at Woolwich, it' proved not to be a forgery, but one cola descrip tion well known at the Office ' being one of those that svere issued some time since by a set of men who opened a Bank at Ipswich, and had an agent in a court at Conlin, where they were made payable, and after they had issued tkem to a consi derable amount, the whole of them decamped, and both place s were *but up. 'Mr. Kendall, of the St. Clement's Coffee-house, identified the prisoners as the two men who were living at. his house for some time, and paid his bill by a draft upon Ilicidulph, Cox, and Co. the Bankers, for which he gave them change.— On his presenting the draft for payment, no such person was known there. For this act he referred a bill of indictment against the prisoners at the Middlesex Sessions, last February, which was found, but he could not meet with them. The pri soners were committed for further examination. Andrews is the man who, some time since, obtained considerable sums of money from a number of persons, under a pretence that, from his connection with the Lord Chancellor, the late. Duke of Portland, Earl of Besborough, Mr. Perceval, and a number of other distinguished characters, he could procure seat* In Parti ee meet, and places under Government. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. - - ROBBERY AT THE QUERN'S PALACE. — Tuesday, H. Cadwal lader, ag ainst whom a warrant had been issued, on suspieion of being concerned in the robbery, together with the lorjsa smith before-mentioned, was brought up to this Office. No trace whatever has yet been found of the valuable property, although every exertion has been made. It appears that the lace and trimmings alone, attached to the dresses were worth 10001. Most of the servants hrkmging to Buckingham House were examined this day, and some fresh suspicious circum stances transpired, particularly against the man who was first in custody, which it would be imprudent at present to disclose, as many must have hrcn concerned in the robbery. Cadwalla der had been seen at the house under suSuicious circumstances, after having been discharged from Mr. Hanson's service about the same time as the prisoner. They were remanded to a future • de t appeared on the above examination, by the testimony of Mrs. 'i hielcke (who has the care of her Majesty's wardrobe), • that she had not examined the presses since September, 1810, further than opening them, when she observed the baize covers as left when she last packed the dresses, consequently the rob bery might have been committed twelve months ago, which accounts, in some measure, ;or the articles not being traced. The testimony of one of the housemaids went to throw some further suspicion on the man first in custody, from his being anxious on one occa...ion for her to leave the room when he was working there. The Lord Chamberlain and Sir W. Parsons were present at the investigation, and the prisoners will be exa mined again next Tuesday. An Interesting looking young female, who stated herself to be a widow, was charged with robbing a lady of her purse, con taining about 91. at the shop of a linen-draper in Oxford-street. The prisoner, it appeared, had gone into the shop under pretence of making a purchase, and whilst the prosecutrix was looking at an article, with her purse on the counter, the prisoner took it up and walked . out of the shop,hut :she was pursued and taken, when she made a voluntary confession of her guilt, but implored mercy for a first offence. She stated herself to be of most respectable connexions. and that she had 801. per annum to live on ; and what idea flew across her brain at the time of the robbery, she could not state. She was committed. Vornsby and Co.

Saturday night, about eleven O'clock, as Mr. Kilmarthen, of Piccadilly. was walking along the Lower Road Deptford, near the Five Bells, he was attacked by ,four foreigners (Lasears), one of whom made a desperate blow at his breast with a sharp instrument, but fortunately missed his mark. The other three then maltreated him, by bitting him on the head with blud geons, at the same time uttering the most blasphemous words. They then threw him down, and two of them held him down, while the other two were employed" in pilfering his breeches pockets, from whence they took a black pocket book, contain ing cash and notes to the amount of 101. 17s. 6d.
