JAN. 19' ink The house of General Dowdeswell, in Stratton-street, Piccadilly, ' with his entire colleation of valuable antiques, pictures, hooks, &c. to gether with his elegant furniture, were tot;iiy destroyed by fire on Toes day evening. The accident is believed to have been occasioned by the carelessness of servants. Mr. Read, and Mr. Croker, the Secretary to the Admiralty, and Mr. darter, of Greenwich Hospital, have proceeded in , ae private investi gation of the frauds and forgeries lately discovered at the Admiralty, Navy-Office, and Greenwich Hoapital. Gawler, the Clerk, is not yet taken. Thursday a number of persons were brought up to Bow-street, from the neighbourhood of St. Giles's, charged with exercising tht:ir callings on the Lord's Day. They were mostly chandlers, muftin-bakes, &c. They were convicted in the penalty of five shillings each. Mr. 13irnie observed, that be had no doubt but the gentlemen who composed the Society that had brought forward these iniormations meant extremely' well, but he was afraid they began at the wren end, and that they ought to begin with the higher orders. ROBBERY BY Wiloatsam—Tueselay, Jenkins Evans, a porter to Mr. Clark, a wholesale linen-draper, in Watling-street, underwent a long examinatlon before Aldermzn Wood, at Guildhall, charged with having robbed his last, and two preceding masters, of property to a considerable amount. In the prisoner's house was found a cart-load of goods, consisting of printed cottons, sheeting, wrappers in great quan tities, muslins, cambric, pieces of carpet, waistcoat pieces, &c. a great Fart of which was sworn to by the, ware housemen and partners of the different warehouses where the prisoner had lived. On the prisoner were found sixty-four rounds in Bank-notes, and receipts for Bank stock, in the four per cents. for 7001. most of which was, no doubt, ac ouired by dishonest means. He was remanded for further examina tion. Two other young porters, who lodged in the house of the pri soner, were afterwards examined on similar charges, and on whom their masters' property had been found.—They also were remanded. DR.
