POLICE. BOW-STREET. About ten days ago the Messrs. Merriam', proprietors of the Minimums Hotel, in Coveut•gardrn, applied to Sir Richard Birnie for a warrant to *earth the home of a Mt*. Brady, in Cuilingwood-street t City-road. where they had frown to believe mine articles of tin it property e Bich had been stolen were concealed. TM y stated . a the grounds of their application that Esther bratty, tl.c daughter of tile person against whom the warrant was re. toned, had lived for some time at the Huonnums in the capacity of bar maid, from which a few days before she was discharged, in consequence of a little too much fami lial ity having horn observed between her and a young male relation of the Messrs. Harrison. After her depar ture from the house, some few articles of table liners were m issed t and limpid-ion falling upon her, infinity was made fur her; and it was given nut by her mother that site was gone to Cheltenham, where she would remain fur a con siderable time. In the course of tbr inquiry, the Messrs. Hatt - 40u learned, to their great porpoise, for the daughter had been recommended to them by most sespeetable per- _ . sous, that 51rs. Brady. sen. kept a lonise o w l ill lame in Cuilingwood-street. This, with other circumstances, led them to suspect that some of the stolen 'sticks iiiigl be concealed at the await r's house. _ _ Upon this application Sir R. Dirnle issued • search variant, and South, one of the patrol, went to the house with oue of tha prosecutors, and found a tilde cloth and some napkins which kir. Harrison identified as his pro perty. Mis. Drady, sen. was taken into custody, brought to this office, and counuitted fur re-exinioation on the *Large of receiving the things, Icaossing thew to have been stolen. _ — The Arnie evening one of the M . Harrison hap pened to go to one of the theatres, and there be saw his late bar-maid silting in one of the boxes, accompanied by a gentleman who lead been for some months before ince sioually lodging at the Holmium*. Mr. Harrison caused liei to be takers into custody and lodged in a watch-house 1.., the night, and the gutless lug mor aa iaa g she was brought to the afire tor examination. As a matter of courtesy, the officer took her to a titivate loom in a neighbouring public house until the magistrate was irady to bear the case; and while waiting there, the gentleman in whose company she was seen at the theatre applied to hate au interview with her. The officer, however, thought fit to refuse, and the gentleman made application to Sir K. har lot for leave to see the prisoner, and wrote the following as his name and address—" Rev. J. Hard, rector of Mansion, near Stow on the Weld, Marriott in Marsh, Gloricestershire." He represented further, that be was a magistrate fur that comity. Lease was not withheld fur a moment, and he from that time was moat assidnomily attentive to her as long as she iesitained in custody. She was cumuli' ted for a second rim aaa iaa alma, and it happened that w hen she was again brought up, Lord Carrington wa, on the bench, and having heard the case, his Lord ship expressed an espial aaaa that it was very likely that the Ili conduct of the daughter was in ix great measure ow lug to the example of the mother, said that the former might yet ler saved to society if she conld. be taken care of for • time, and totally separated front her mother. After some consultation will Sir It Hinkle, the noble Lord said lie was one of the governors of the Female Peuitentiary at ; and If the young woman would consent to go there, arid the MisiD. Herrisou would abandon a cri minal prosecution, he would take care to ensure her ad mission to that asylum. The prosecutora readily argon escrd, and the y ming woman consented to go to the Penitentiary ; but as some preliminary at range:needs wee e necessary, it was agreed that she should be sent to St. Marlin's watch-Mouse, where every accommodation was to be afforded her, until she could be removed to Penton • 'Tie Rev. J. Hurd, as already stated, continued his attentions to her, and deposited live sovereigns in the hands of the officer who had the charge of her for her use, in order that she might not want fur inch comforts as mo ney coedit purchase. When he learned iu what manner sloe was to be disposed uf, lie expressed considerable anxiety to know, if after she should be legally discharged hum the accusation of Messrs. Hat risen, there was any power to compel her to go to the Penitentiary, or to re 31111ill there against her will. At length, the proper atiangements having been made, she and her mother were brought up, and the latter having breuaent about her business, the daughter was conveyed. to the Peniten tiary at Pentonville. When she arrived there, she was asked by some of the official persons about the establish. term w teethe, she came of her own free will, and if' she was willing to remain, when, to the astonishment of those about hen, she firmly replied in the negative. That Pe bi•elitiary not being • pl. ce of compulsory residence, it was stated that the young woman could out be detained fur a single moment against her inclination. The cease qiience of 1111% was, that she ass suffered to go at large. On Mummy last Lord Carrington called at the office, and ass intimate' by Sir Richard Birnie of the unfortu nate result of his Lordship's humane endeavours iu the young 001111411'11 behalf.

Mr. Henderson, in his defence, said he did not know Mrs. Nuke was • laundry'', and as she so often pledged articles "nd ►edeemed them. he eensidered her to be a respectable woman, and that the things were her own. After • discussion of considerable ',ugh, Sir R Birnie expressed his opinion, that although the case was of very strong suspicion, there was no sufficient proof of the guilty knowledge to warrant the bililiction of the heavy penalties ■warded by the statute upon the defendant. 'lle case failed In proof, but blio.Whit more had acted very properly in bringing it forward. Mr. Halle goucided in opinion with his worthy col league.

Mr. Seymour - himself, alerined for his men, ventured just within, when the fool air alvo seised I , ana Iv..l..ared the fate of his two inen. Mr. Sey mour was found withins head downwards, and it was supposed he fell from the ladder some height.
