POLICE. BOW-STREET. About ten days ago the Me•srs. Harrison, proprietors tube Hnuintisons Hotel. in Covent-garden, applied to Sir Richard Illtnie for a warrant to search the house of a Mrs. Brady, in Ceilings unit-street, City-road, where they had reason to believe some articles of their property which had been stolen were concealed. They slated as the ;moulds of their application that Esther Ready, the daughter of the person against whom the warrasit was re. /ined, had lived for saute time at the llu 11111 l ums in the capacity of Ivar•inaid, tr which a few days before she was. discharged, in consequence o f a little too much fami liarity having heat observed between her arid a young ma l e relation of the Messrs. Harrison. Alter her depar ture from the house, some few articles of table linen were missed; and stetWeion falling upon her, inquiry was made fur her; and it was given out by her mother that she was gone to Cheltenham, where she would remain for a con siderable time. In the course of the inquiry, the Messrs. Harrison learned, to their great surmise, for the daughter had been reeo 11111 l ended to them by 11104 t respectable per sons, that Mrs. Brady, sen. kept a house ot ill lame lit Collingwood-street. This, with other circumstances, led them to suspect that sonic of the abate at tides might be concealed at the mother's house. Upsets this application Sir R. Bisnie issued a search warless!, aunt Smith, tale of the patrol, went to the house with one of the pi usecutos s, and found a table clitllt and some napkies which Arr. Hasuisat identified as his pi ()- perry. Mrs. Brady, ben. was taken ions custody, brought to this office, and committed for re-exasninaiion on the charge of receiving the Linn*, knowing them to have be ell stolen. The saute evening one of the M . Hari iamb hap pened to go to one of the theatres, wed !bete lie saw his late eittilig in one sit the boxesosecompaiiied by a gentleman who had been for rotate moatlis br;ine etcc s. sionally loduing at the liumenums. Mu. Hausisuu caused her to be taken into mistody and lodged in a watch-house lot the slight, and the following mowing she was brought to the office for examination. At a ssiat•er of courtesy, the officer took her to a palliate soon' So a neighbouriog public house until the magistrate was seedy to hear the ease; and while waiting there, the gentleman it whose company slit was seen at the teemse applied to have an interview with her. The officer, however, thought fit to refuse, and the gentleman made applicatiiits so Sit R. Bir me for leave to see the poisoner, and wrote the feflowing am his tissue and address--" Rev. J. Hurd, rector of Munston, near Stow on the Wold, Moreton its Marsh, Gloneestei slits e." He represented further, that he was • magistrate ter that county. Leave not withheld for a moms sit, and lie (*runt that time was most assiduously attentive to her as long as she eensained in custody. She was committed for a second examinatioa, and it happened that alien she was again brought ni., Lord Can isigton was on the bench, and hissing heard the case, his Lord ship enptesat d au nine'that it was very likely 'hat the aid conduct tel the daughter was in a great ',matinee ow lug to the example ot the mother, and that the fernier might yet be saved to society Sidle could be taken care of for a time, and totally separated from her mother. After collie consultation w lilt Sit R Bis Me, the noble Los d said he was one of the gores-slots ot the Female Penitesitiaty at Pentotiville ; and if the young woman would consent to there,and the Messrs. Harrison would abandon a eft. prosecution, he would take case to ensure her ad mission to that asy sum. The plosecutore readily acqui esced, and the young woman cowenteit to go to the Pessileutiary ; List es some ps elimissary at ru p. 1111408 acs e necessary, it was agreed that she semild be snot to St. Martin's wateli.house, where every accommodatiod sass to be afforded tier, until she could be len:owed to Penton ville. The Rev. J. Hind, as alseady elated, c 1111 l issued his attentions to her, and deposited live sovereigns in the Wilds of the officer who had the chat ge of her for her use, in order that she might not waist for such eosin/Nos as mo ney could purchase. U hen he teamed in what mantle' she was to be disposed of, he expressed cob:filet:stile anxiety to know, if after she should be leg.,lly ehischatged from the accusation of Alessis. Mattison, little ass soy power to compel her to go to this Pelf teittial y, or to se lls/ill theist against her will. At length, the pioper al lenge ukents haring been made, site and her mother weir lo ought up, and the latter having been scut snout her business, the daughter was r onveyed to the Penile. , Baty at l'entunville. Mimi she infused there, she was asked by some of the oHiei•l persons; about the Chi alblisii• nit lit valiethei she came of tier own her nth, whit it she was willing to remain, when, to the astooislasitent of those about het. she thinly replied iu the negatire. That Pe ueeistiary not being a place of compulsory I csidence, it nes stated that the young woman could out be detained for a mottle moment against her The conse quence of this was, that she was sitliered to go at large. On Monday last Load Carrington called at the office, and was Mistimed by tr HICIIArd Bionir of the tonlortu nate result of his Lordship's humane CIideIIVOUIS ill the young woma n 's behalf. PAIS a BROKERS.— -SUICIDIE.—WiIIiam Henderson, a pawnbroker at Somers-loon, appealed nit Monday to an nomination under the Pan uhrukess' Act, fur 1111111 a Nils and knowingly takiug articl e s in pledg e trop one Mar y Anne Nuke', which had been intrusted to her for * parti cular purpose, and which she was not authorised to pawn. The ustursuatiou was exhibited by R.Whitmore, Esq. of oburn-plaer, and It appeared that a Windless, hauled Nleiy Am, Nuke, living in Westun-sheet, Somers-town, had been fur tune itittusted with Isis ramify washing. Finding that some of the things were repeatedly kept back in spite of remonstrances and peremptoi y °Meta Its return them, Mr. Whitmore ois %Wednesday last applied to the magistrates here, and Sadler, one of the conductois, went to 'take inquiry of the woman as to what &Ise had really done atilt the things; but %lieu lie arrived at the house he was saved the truuble by the Maimed, vibe rmed him that his wife hail Joon ned herself in the Regent's Casual the evening before. The Inisbaud at the tune gave Sadltr a number of duplicates fur pro- perty belonging to Mr. Whitmore, %Inch his wile had pledged at the shop of the present defendant. Mr. t% hit more, in pt e (erring his cheap., said he thought it his stilly to the public to proceed against the defendant, for he firmly believed that but for the facility which had been eflorded to the unhappy wumau iu getting I id of his property, she would have been alive now. His grounds for charging the defendant us des the statute with " know !ugly" taking in the goods were, that they weir pledged its the name of Auut Noke, although every piece Was r- •~ ~. ~ri~~='% NATIONAL MOISTER, marked a R. W." in large letters, and that, she Hein& only 50 yards from the defendant's shop, lie mtl.4 have known that she was a laundress. She had pledged these almost every day for months past, and five or six of the duplicates were dated on following days. The articles which he had selected to proceed upon were in a dirty state. Mr. Henderson, in his defence, said he did not know Mrs. Nuke was a Mundt ess, and as she so often pledged as title* and federated il.rist, lie considered her to be a respectable woman, and that the things were her own. After a discussiort of considerable Milli, Sir R Birnie expressed his opinion, that idthougla the case was of very strung suspicion, there was no sufficient proof of the guilty knowledge to warrant the ifillicitou of the heavy penalties awarded by the statute upon the defendai.t. The case failed in proof, but Mr.Whitinore had acted very properly in bringing it forward. ?4s. Halls cotucided in opinion with his worthy col league. Sir R.Strnie said,if any linen rough dried, or in • state of progress in any ease, had been taken in, he should con sider it a strong ease. Mr. Whitmin e's servant said, some of the articles that she had seen at the defendant's shop were in that 'date. siThe present complaint was dismissed, and it was under. loud that Mr. Whitmore would select the articles de teethed by his servant, tor the purpose of exhibiting • (resit lamination, which he is empowered by the statute o du.

They both came truce Scotland on her account, and she ought to have gone to them three ',eats ego, but she did nut like to Ue at the trouble, and now that she did go, the servants behaved spitefully to her, and would hut let leer in.

A cesspool of considerable extent had become 1011, and much annoyed the itimaies of the house. The Reverend proprietor, consulting with a respectable bricklayer how it could be minted with the least amitlyance, it was finally settled that instead of emptying and carrying away the soil, a new cesspool of larger and deeper thinenvions should be made by the side of the old one, and on the above day the work was , nearly completed, the top darned over, except an aperture to admit a man and a ladder to pass. In the afternoon Mr. Seymour, the bricklayer, and three men, being pre sent, it was :rented the old cesspool should be tapped, by driving some bricks from their places, and one of the men went down to perform it, which he did, and in a little tune returned up the ladder and till down to * state of insensibility.
