Two of the gang were seen to mark out Sir John as an object tor rubbery, by Capt. Crossly, who happened to be pausing at the time, and saw one of them pointing apparently at his pocket, as if they knew that it contained a pocket-book. Shortly after the ay of " Stop thief" was raised, but Sir John was passing on, not considering that he had any thing to do with the cry, till hearing it repeated, he looked rountl,autil saw a re . morocco pocket-book in the hand of a war : at the same time felt his pockets, missed his pocket-book, and then recognized it in die hand ol a labouring man. Mr. Tucker. of Arundel -street, in the Strand, who was crossing from Picket-street, nearly opposite to the Crown and Anchor Tavern, saw the two uses about Sir John Lambert, and saw one of them take Sir John's pocket-book out of his pocket and give it to his companion, whose name proved to be William Carroll, who put it into his pocket. Mr. Tucker seized Carroll by the collar, who gave him a violent blow, Wilds nearly knocked him back wards, and loosened some ol his teeth. Carroll, VI COOLCqUeIiCC, escaped from dir.Tucker, and ran oil down Milford lane. Mr. Tucker recovered litiusell, and pursued 1 , calling" Stop thief 1" and he was at length taken in Essex-street. Owen Swaney, a labouring swan, who had seen Car roll running away, saw the pocket-hook drop at the I time. He picked it up, and, on its being claimed by Sir John, delivered it to Inns. It contained a SI. Barak of England note, and some papers. A constable was procured, and Carroll was brought I to the office, and, alter examination, was fully co num bed to take his trial at the ensuing sessions.

A few evenings since, the shop ;f Mr. Salmon. of Barkway, Hens, was broken open, and a variety of article, ut wearing apparel stolen therefrom. — The thieves were traced to London, but they have hitherto eluded the vigilance of their pursuers. ol .. ...

FORGED NOTRll.—Joshua Armstrong, Vann,. ad Manta, officers of Worship -street, in ontisemtence of in. ,formation they received, went on Friday inornit g last to execute a search-warrant at the home of a man named tt illiam Hearn,in Providence-plate Bell-yard, Golden '. lane. On their arrival they found t he lower part of the • house harricadoed, and Armstrong proposed setting in • at the first-floor window. The other office's lifted him on on their shoulders • and he no sooner entered, than Hearn, who was in shoulders; jumped up, ran to a place where there was a crack in the partition, from which he took a brown paper parcel, and Rung it down stalls. Armstrong seized him at the same moment, calling to the officers to break in the door ; that licarn had diivd the parcel down stairs to prevent any person trout takt•la. it. The officers accordingly burst in the door,atid \ a:111 found the parcel on the stairs; it contained 51; forged notes. They took the prisoner to the Magistrate. it ap peared that the prisoner had been suspected for a long mile of supplying the titterers of forged notes by whole sale, but till now had evaded all the vigilance of' the officers. One of the Hank inspectors of notes attended, and proved all the notes now pwalnced to be forged in every respect. There was tut proof that the prisoner forged them ; but he was fully co tea fur having them in his possession.
