There was a good light from the limp of a maaufaetory in the part of the an where he was robbed. The prisoner, in his it-Cence, called Hannah Carr and Diana Evitt, who attempte,l to siirport the aliq ; but the ;fury did not credit their evidence, and fonad the prisoner • .1. Irvine was also capitally convicted fur assaulting T. Stubbs oa the highway, and stcailiig from his person a silver watch.

The Jury, rellielly on the evidence of one witness. convicted James Har ris the younger, Edward Willis, and John Petit, and acquitted Anne Taimpton and the elder Harris. The three former were found guilty of the larceny only, fur the capital charge of itorglary was done away, as the warehouse . broken open was not l art of the dwclling•bouse. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY ON THE RIVER. On Thursday, James Hatton, who it may be recollected, has undergone several examinations on suspicion of being con cerned in the murder of Lieutenant Johnson, was capitally indicted for stealing, on the '2l st of „fitly, 217 pieces of Ban dana silk handkerchiefs, value and upwardss from the Howard ; and Michael Murray was indicted for feloniously counselling and inciting the said James Hatton and others to commit the said Thomas Curtis had known the prisoner Murray, for six years. On the 21st of J nly, Giddons and Hatton came to the witness, and 'aid, a man told them there were Bandanas on hoard the Duke of Wellington. They said, they had got a ladder near II row:ry-hall-lield. At night the witness, Hatton, and Giddons, went and got the ladder, and put it against the Dock wall, and got into the Docks, and on board the Duke of Wellington. Hatton and Guidons raised the hatches, and th e y a ll wen t to th e ca se of Bandanas, cut the cords, and took the Bandanas nut; they then put them into three bags, and supplied the deficiency w ith ginger bags, &c. They replac• ed the hatches and each touts a bag; they then proceeded across the mar shes to Cut-throat-lane, where they found Gid dons's wife and her son waiting with a cart, into which they put the three bags. At Gidluns's house they divided the Bandanas, which were all damaged; witness's share amounted ,to 6'J pieces, and he sold them to a person named Gates. On the Thursday following the witness met Mnrray with Hatton and Giddons. He did not learn from Murray, that it wus he %rho gave them the information; they had conversation with him; witness gave Win 41., and Giddons and Hatton gave hint 21. each. In the month oSeptember they saw Murray at the Green Dragon, Stepney; Giddons and Hatton were both there. There was some conversation about Bandanas; but it was said, that, " there was a watch now in the Docks." Murray said, there was a piece of work there abont the Duke al Wellington being robbed. _ - - - After several witnesses were called to enroborate this evi dence, the primmers wi to called upon for their defence. 'Hattonsaid, `• lam innocent of what they charge me with ; they will try to swear my hie away, if it is possible. They have cfuniii . tte(l many de l .' etht tott• which I know nothing of and I hope, my Lord, you will take 1105 into yunr considera tion:' . . • Mn ray.--e" lam innocent of what they charge me with." The Common Sergeant summed up the es idvnee. to t h e Jnry, awl they comsulted for a few minutes, and pronounced 'Mown Gu.•t —Death; Murray not Guilty. Friday, John Moore was indicted for stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of Ann and Mark Graham, be ing in the dwelling house of the said Graham ; and thr burgla riously breaking out of the dwelling house. The prisoner was a servant in the house, and the theft was most clearly made out by the witnesses. Guilty of stealing to the value of S9s., not in the dwelling William Knight was put to the bar on the charge of a highway robbery, in assithhing a child of six years old, and taking from his ',mom a bundle, containing sonic articles of weariug apparel. The child gate h:s testimony in a very clear manner; but the jury considered that the evidence was not tinfficiently strong to convict him, and therefore found a ecriliet—Not Guilty. There were no other trials of importance either on this day or on Saturday. Some time back, owing to lIIV eltan-e perusal of some do cuments in the newspapers, it :appeared that .6 (in_ Gentle man (now about 19) us tied John Angns6ll3 Sinlicau, th • eldest son of the Right lion.

The delusion et this time practised upon the believers in the pre dictions and doctr , :l.: of the late Nophetess, is matter of great asto nishment. An imenlict arrived at Newark on Sunday the 10th instant, from a tlis:•iple of the conclave at Leeds, inhibiting those of the faith, nranngyt nt:er things, from attending to their ordinary business during tlt,. ensuing eight or nine days ; and a manufacturer s shop in that place is at this time entirely deserted, and the business of many small dealer.; suspended, in consequence. This interdict and the obedience nutnifilteel is equally extraordinary, and thus reason it. subjugated. the habits and inclinations of men are subverted. mural and social duties abandoned, and the minds so bewildered and infatuated, that tle.: business while's kis been their regular support. is neglected, and stagnated ; their families distrmed, the counselof their fth.titis contenined, anti the veil of darkness and se— crecy excludes *very uttmupt to communicate or receive advice. LATE SEVERE GALE. Letters from Plymouth exhibit a heart-rending picture of the dis astrous effects of the gale of Monday nixht it Ow neighhourlitaxl. lids Majesty's ships Jasper and Telegraph are totally lost : the crew of the former perished, with the exception of two marines, and we hope we mar add the captain and the carpenter also, for one of the letters states them to have been on shore at the time of !he frtal occurrence. The crew of tile Tclegraph were saved, with the exception of one or two men. The Princess Mary packet from Jamaica was also wrecked nt the same time. Centel:l Pocock. his wife and two children, with six of the crew, were unthrtun:Jely drowned. The Princess Mary had an immense quantity of specie on board on her arrival ; hut it had been landed, fortunately for the owners, previous to the gals. The Admiralty has issued circular letters to about 300 of the senior purse's on the list, on the subject of retirement, requiring a return of their servitude, s4,:e. It is still rumour ed that a cme addition in intemlod to be made to the half-pay of that meritorious class of officers. At the Old Bailey, Hooper, and the three other prisoners, who had been acquitted on Monday, %sere admitted to bail. The Grand Jury of the County of Middlesex have return ed a true hill azainst J. Watson the elder. J. ttratsou the yonnger, J. Hooper, T. Preston, and 'l'. Cashman, on a charge of conspiracy and riot. This indictment mill be traversed until next !session. _ . . . ..... It is a singular occurrence, that not i, single vessel from a foreign port, a coaster, or a collier, was entered at the tolll-11MIse on 'Thursday; and only 7 vessels on tUreign voy ares, and 15 coasters. cleared out on that day.

Stirling, Coroner for Middlesex, at the house of Mr. Thomas liinkes, the Duke of York, Queen-street, Edgeware-road, Marylebone, upon the body of Mary Ann Golding, the daughter of John and Eliza beth Golding, of No. 30, Molyneux-street, Marylebone, whose death was occasioned by the barbarous treatment of its parents. 'rho deceased was only five years of age. The Jury being sworn, went arid viewed the body; its appearance was shocking, being covered with marks of violence from the neck downwards to the thigh, which were inflicted by some weapon. 'l'hc back had several old wounds upon it, the legs were bruised, and the whole frame was emaciated. It appeared in evidence that both the parents had taken some unnatural disgust against the deceased, and had been in the constant habit of beating and ill-treating her. The Coroner said, that it appeared to him the death of the de ceased was caused by a repetition of ill-treanntiit. There was no wound upon the deceased which caused her death, aceon!ing to the evidence of the surgeon; yet, from the appearance of the child, there could be but little doubt upon the subject. lie was sorry the evi dence was not sufficiently conclusive to warrant them to return a ver dict of murder against the brutish parents. Pore The Jury wish to return such a verdict as would be the me n o: causing the parent. to be punished. Could we not re turn a verdict of misdenua tour?" . Coroi.er.— 'You cannot rturn such a verdict; you perhaps had better, in your verdict, rate what yuu think produced the child's death." The Jury, after aLout an hour's consultation, returned the follow. ing verdict:—" The deceased died in convulsions, caused by the cruel treatment of her unnatural parents." ARMY CONTRACTS.
