Mr. Common Secji ant here pet an end to the trial, by ob serving, that there was not sufficient evidence to convict the prisoner of felony ; and although she might have used a fa,se pretence, there was nothing brought lot ward to prove it, therefore, wider the deficiency of evidence, they muat acquit the prisoner. The Jury immedately found a verdict of Not (iuilty. The prisoner, .ipso entering the thick, appeared to be much affected, earl called fur a chair and a smelling bottle, both of which requests were immediately complied with.

This infamous system was practised by the prisoners towards the prosecutor ; but one of them, being pursued, was overtaken and secured. The other was traced to his lodgings. Myth prisoners were fully committed. Tuesday, G. Newton, 12 year. of age. was charged under the following circumstances. J. Brown Deposed, that he was abopman to Mr. Non, a draper, of Leadenbull-street. On Sa turday evening last he observed.the prisoner and another youth lurking about the shop and at length the prisoner's compa nion m.tdc a stulden entry, and cut a string near the door, from which a quantity of clothes was suspended. He then ran away, and in a few moments the prisoner rushed in, seized a dress, and ran away. The witness parsued, and took him Mte custody, with the property in his possession. At this period the prisoner's father stated, that his son had been led to his present abandoned state by the asylum that was afforded him in a public-house in Skinnersstreet, Bishopagate, which was the common resort of the worst of characters, men, women, and children. Here he was frequently found playing at cards and skittles, and even associating with prostitutes. His mother and himself had remonstrated with the proprietors, and en deavoured to draw him from the house, bat in vain. At length the father summoned the proprietor before the Lord Mayor. Several City Officers deposed to the truth of the statement re specting the house being the constant rendezvous of the most abandoned characters. The proprietor (a Mrs. Roper), who was in attendance upon the summons. acknowledged that the house had formerly borne a bi.d character, but assured his Lordship that it by no means deserved such an appellation at present. As to the prisoner, site, as well as her husband, bad frequently endeavocired to drive him away, but he persevered in bus visits. She said, the boy was in t!.e habit of stealing pro perty from time to time, which was 14,:eived by his parents. This charge the parents denied. The Lord Mayor said, that with the character of the bons, he was well acquainted, and would undoubtedly stop Its licence. As to the prisoner, the case of felony being clearly made out, he was compelled to send Inns le prisou.—He was fully committed. (WiLDHALL. Wednesday, J. Quin, T. Collett, and B. Riordan, Irishmen, and two of whom could scarcely articulate English, were charged with coining shillings and sispencei . J.

In a ‘tort time they went to the bar, and were pay ing for their liquor, when he overheard the landlord refuse some of their money as counterfeit. lie followed them into the street, and observed them go into several other places, and at length to a house in Angel-alley, Moor-lane ; and discovering that they lodged there, he gave information to W. Brock, an officer. The latter stated, that he went to the house in qites tion, accompanied by Pelham, and Taylor, an officer, where he found two of due prisoners rubbing pieces of metal the size of shillings, and the third colouring them. Files, ainafortis, and other implements, were found in the room, us were also a quantity of finished and untini,lied shillings and sixpences. On two of them also were found several in a finished state. The pi i-oners stated, that they were labourers, tint had been for some time out of employment. A man, however, wham they could not name, huh put them into the mom in which they were fimil, and set them to do the work at which they were discovered. They were folly committed. MA RLISOROUGH-STRIMT. Mary• Itllev was charged with rolioing J. Ilarris, a private in the Guards, of a silver Waterloo modal.

He was busied behind the se , :.res at the Opera-house ; when one of the wings, by some memo , nagement was thrown down.

Surgical aid WWI immediately procured; and, after the usual remedies bad been resorted to with success, Mr. Raymond was removed to his house. A robbery of considerable magnitude has taken place in the course of the week; but the principals concerned in it have not yet been discovered. It appears that Lord Derby, in the country, having occasion to remit to town 2,0001. enclosed the same in two or more franks by post, but they have never come toband. The Marquis of Salisbury, the new Postmaster general, atteutled an investigation at the Post-office on Wed. day on the subject, but without bringing to light any facet which were likely to lead to the discovery of the villains. A horrible scene took place on the 10th Mt. in the commune of Mery des Bois, canton of Chapelle d'Angui.lun, in France. A miscreant entered a house its order to rob it of SO luuis, sod had the ferocity to pat to death a young MAID and two girls who were iu at the titer.
