He immediately got up and saw a person go out and directly afterwards missed bii watch from the window on which he had laid it wisest he went to bed. The watchman of the Inn having seen the prisoner leave their room came to their a! , si , tatice and on following the prisoner (who like them had merely taken a Led for the night) into his chamber, they found the watch thrown on the top of the bed.

ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES. ~ Mr. Fix the son of a gentleman residing in Baker-street, North, having, in conjunction with sum. other young men, resolved to pay u visit to Paris, applied to cne of the tribe of Israel, named Solomon', a 4 iminerant purchaser of (Amain in that neighbourhood, who agreed to furnish 30 guineas at '27s. each, and appointed to meet Mr. F. at a pub lic house in Duke's place. Mr. F accordingly repaired thither, and received thirty golden guineas, as he then supposed, which he paid for in Bank-notes. Upon arriving at home. and examining his purchase, lie discovered he had bought very excellent counterfeits. An applica tion was made to apprehend the offender, but it is a question whether the buyer or the seller has most exposed himselt to animadversion. Mennen.—Our readers will recollect the particulars of a man being found murdered in the Isle of Sheppv about a fortnieht since ; the churchwardens and gentlemen ut that part sent an express to Bow.strect, and Vickery was sent otl with all possible speed, but be has been ehle to discover the murderer, or etc!, who the dcceieed wtis. All that can be learnt respecting the t o deed is, that on the evening of the fist of April, about o't.lock, be was seen to enter Slieppy from Sittingborne, and eo into th.• Lottl Welling!on puolic-huuse, lucre ht remained till a quarter bt:to• I'2 iii compiny with three ur font men, who hwe been fuued out s bet no sot:pit:ion attaches to them. It is not certandy known Who he is, but lie is supposed to be Creurge Collett, of Yarinuuth. OuTRAGFS AT NOTTINGHAM.—On Sunday eve»ing, two men Entered the house of Bullock, who lie es in a court at Bella gate, with the familiar queition of '' How do you do ?" and then proceeded up stairs and broke four framess,whilst the door was guard ed by sight or ten of their accomplices. A constable who lived next door, hearing a noise, and supposing them thieves, repaired to the spot, when one of the villians psesented apistol at him. the eon-table retired, and the banditti dispersed without the least dis. covery. The system of combination and terror pursued by these misguided men is tlmy alas mi. g. Tiny have formed themsel% es into (tubs and committees, who assemble in the different villages, and take upon them the apportioning of the diffescnt sorts of work to lte done by the manuCtt turcrs, and the regulation of the prices w Lich the men are to be paid. If their dynasts's are not complied milli, the manufacturer is placed in alarm lyr his property, and those of the men who sts ike are supported by subscriptions to a general fond. The Arames of the person mentioned above were de*tioyedi, merely because he refused to subscribe to this fund. These villains hold committees at all times of the day, and issue such orders as they wish to have executed at night. If it is the pleasure that any set of men shall leave their employ, the order is given, and the mandate obeyed. The want or low price of work cannot be assileled as a palliation of these exc uses, since the pri ces on the making have advanced from 10 to SO per cent. THE NATIONAL REGISTER. • 4. : 32! AIAttRILD.
