The crowd came round him. but witness, with the assistance of his son, succeeded in dragging the young lad into the shop. • William Winter corroborated his father's examination. Thomas Martin was also coining down Holborn at the time, and saw a great mob, to the number 150 or 200 persons, assembled round the biker's shop. The prisoner was at the head of them; and as soon as he came up to Mr. Comiah's house, he hollowed out, " Here is a baker's shop." Being apprehended, he cried to the mob, '6 Ites• cue me, rescue me," but the young depredator in this was disap pointed. Being called upon for his defence, the lad began to cry. but said nothing.

POLICE. HATTON-GARDEN. SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE. Wednesday, Richard Henry Tolson, Captain in the Seeond Life Guards, underwent a very long private examination, charged a ith committing a rape on the servant maid at the Portland Arms public house, near the Foundling hospital. It appeared that in order to suppress the riots there was a party of the Second Life Guards stationed at the City Light Here barracks, in °Fay's Inn-lane, in consequence of which arrangement Captain Tolson and another officer took up their quarters at the Portland Arms, where the offence is stated to be committed.—Martba Elizabeth Field, sixteen years of age, and servant to Mr. James Crick, of the Portland Arms, swore positively to the fact, and Captain Tolson is held to bail, to be tricd for the offence. WORSHIP-STREET. Mary Harris was re-examined, charged with robbing se veral children of bundles.—Mary White, servant to a dress. :water in King-street, Holborn, was sent by her mistress to a house in Craubourn-street, with some velvet and potent net, • when at the corner of Bow-street, she was accosted by the prisoner, w ha claimed acquaintance with her, and gave hbr a letter, which she said contained some notes for her father; she theu observed that her bundle was inconvenient, and of. fered to carry it for her. 'they then proceeded to Hart -street, where she told the child to wait while sloe went about some fictitious business ; but of course she did not return. The • sister to the child's mistress deposed to some of the articles . which were found in the prisoner's Indgines.—C. J. Swindle, a boy, deposed that he was returning with some linen from a mangler's, in Charles street, Hatton-garden, when the pri soner contrived. by similar art, to obtain it from him.—Sarah Grenhig, of the City road, deposed, that the prisoner obtained from her the furniture of a tent bedstead, by a similar decep tion.—Caroline Kemp. daughter to a fringe-maker in Holy well-street, was forcibly robbed by her of the produce of two day's of her mother's labonr, part of which she had rotund her boilltiet at the time of her apprehension. These cases have " on the whole of which she was fully • einolued. We will not take upon us to decide whether the fol lowing hand-bill, circulated on Friikty has any connec tion with the machinations which have been detected ; but it is of a complexion which calls for the severest reprehension, and which will, no doubt, meet with proper attention from those who watch over the public. peace• SPZNCE'S PLAN, for Parochial Partnerships in the Land, is the only effectual Remedy for the Distresses and Oppression of the People. The Landholders arc not Proprietors in Chief; they are but the Stewards of the Public ; for the land is the People's Farm. The expenses of the Government do not cause the misery that surrounds us, but the enormous exactions of these UVust Stewards.' Landed Monopoly is indeed equally contrary to the benign Spirit of Christianity, and de structive of the Independence and Morality of Man kind. The Profit of the Earth is for all ; yet how de plorably destitute are the great Mass of the People! Nor is it possible for their situation to be radically amended, but by the establishment of a System, founded on the immutable basis of Nature and Justice. Expe rience demonstrates its necessity; and the rights of • Mankind require it for their preservation. To obtain this important object, by extending the knowledge of the above System, the Society of Spencean Philanthro pists lies been instituted. Further information of its principles may be obtained by attending any of its Sec tional Meetings, where subjects are discussed, calculat ed to enlighten the human understanding; and where also the regulations of the Society may be procured, containing a complete development of the Spencean S 7 stem. Every individual is admitted, free of Expence, who will conduct himself with decorum.

TII/r. NATIONAL REG ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, 4c. Mt epee AND ROBDERY.—On Sunday evening, between six mid reveu o'clock, the house of Mr. Howard, a farmer, 80 years of age, at l ewsley, near Drayton, in the parish of Hill ingdon, Middlesex, was entered by a gang of robbers, slip posed to be four, in a disguised state, and robbed of consider able property, 101. in cash and notes, at least. A man and boy, who lived in the house, went out about six o'clock, aheu they left the aged man and his housekeeper, 73 years asp., in the kitchen. On their return to the house they found that it had been robbed of the valuable property, and the aged people lay on the floor, presenting a most horrid spec tacle from the wounds and bruises which they had received. Their heads were cut in several places ; they were insensible. It was discovered, from the Woody state of part of a flail used for thrashing corn, that the wounds hail been inflicted by that instrument. A surgeon was procured, but his assist ance was of no avail. The poor old man died of his wounds on Monday, about four o'clock. His housekeeper remained in an insensible state, but very little hopes were entertained of her recovery. An Inquisition was taken on Wednesday at the Trout pub lic-house, in the Hamlet of Yew sley, betbre Thomas Sliding, Esq. Coroner, upon the body of Mr. Howard.— The Jury went to the house of the deceased to take a view of the body; the head was beat in a most shocking manner. The Coroner and surgeon visited Sarah Randall, who was in bed ; she was able to speak, though her face was a coinpleat mass of ex travasated blood, and no hopes are entertained that she will recover ; she said that she heard several voices, one was very gruff ; she never saw any pet son; she was sitting by the fire opposite the deceased, who was smoaking a pipe, and was struck a MOO violent blow on the head ; she begged fur mercy ; they gave her several more blows, and she was after wards insensible; she did not hear or see any body strike her master; lie was very deaf. He had received three distinct blows, which had been given by some blunt instrument, which had caused a concussion of the brain, and an internal &imbue of the skull, and died from the effects of the blows on Monday afternoon.--Sarah Randall had received urine hard blows on the head, her head being split open in t h e centre of the scalp ; her throat also hurt ; she said the thieves pinched her neck, and thatthey supposed her and her master were dead when they left thew.—Wilful Murder against sonic person or persons unknown. Ex ecuethe.—The execution of H. Pegg and T. Rawlinson, for piracy on the River Theme. ; T. Vi'arien, for highway rob bery ; and It. Yandell, for an unnatural offence, took place on Monday, in front oldie debtors' door, Newgate. R. Town send, convicted of forgery, who was also to have suffered, in consequence of exhibiting strong prohfs of mental derange ment, received a respite. The four unfortunate men had, f' out the time of hearing the fatal mandate for their execution, evinced the most perfect resignation, and the sincerest piety. They were each attended for the last few days by several religious friends, particularly by the Rev. Mr. Vasey, Mr. Baker, of Holloway, and the Rev. J. Rudge, of Limehouse. The latter gentleman remained with the unhappy men in prayer nearly the whole of the last night. On Sunday, as usual, they all attended the condemned sermon preached by the Ordinary, and partook of the sacrament. Their conduct was truly devout and penitent, and they individually acknow hedged the justice of their sentence. The Sheriffs arrived about half-past seven, and soon after proceeded to the cells, front whence the culprits were brought forth. Yandell prayed and exhorted all around most fervently ; declared thet lie had found favour in the eye of his Redeemer, and besought that a message might be conveyed to all prisoners under sentence of death, to seek the mercy he had obtained. Warren and Pegg also expressed their confidence of mercy, and Rawlinson evinced a resolution and resignation seldom witnessed on such an occasion. The latter, who did not ap pear much beyond twenty, expressed a wish to address the populace, but from this be was dissuaded. About ten mi nutes past eight, he ascended the scaffold, when Pegg ap peared much agitated. Warren and Yandell remained firm in devotion, the latter praying very loud. Butt the uninoved form and patient behaviour of Rawlinson in this last awful scene, made a deep impression on all who saw it. They took a parting leave ; end the fatal preparations being made, the Ordinary administered to them the few usual ejaculatory sentences; when the signal being given, they were launched into eternity.—Three of them scarcely exhibited a motion; but the death of Warren seemed to be more tedious, and ac companied with a convulsion of the whole frame. A further respite, during pleasure, was ou Friday leceived at Newgate for R. Townsend. G. CARROIL has the pleasure of informing the Public that Tickets and Shares, for the New Lottery, are on Sale at his Fortunate 01'KCVO, CORPRILL, and .20, OXFORD STREET.
