FEB. 9. ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.. Yesterday, Bawler, the clerk, underwent a private examination at Bow-street Office. ESCAPE FRoM TILE HOUSE OF COARECTION..—It was statcd yesterday, that four prisoners, of the names of Cole, Dotan, Hawkins, and 'fucker, escaped from Cold-bath-fields prison on Thursday evening. —It appears upon inquiry, that the prisontrs were what is termed fines from New gate, that is, men convicted of trivial felonies, whose el: fences ate not visited with transportation. Ihe prisoners were not securely fastened In at locking-up time ; and before nine o'clock, they picked a padlock which fastened two ladders, near thtk lodge, and ascended the wall, from which they let themselves down by a rope. Doran was taken next day in Short's-gardens, by Humphries; and on being interrogated, he said he meant to return. This escape verifies the assertion of the notorious Roberts (for whose escape, Aris. the late Governor, was dismissed) that it is the easiest prison in London to escape from. Tile LATE Mu an R s.—Hart, as well as Alblass, has been discharged, there being no evidence against him. The Magistrates of Sbadwell, have compounded with the creditors of Mr. Vcrmilloe, and ellected his release from prison. On Thursday night, the house of Capt. Hay, In Woburn-place, was broke open and robbed of several articles of value. To-morrow, the trials of the twelve men for high treason commence at Horsemonger-lane. Mr Brougham is to be their Counsel, and Mr. Harmer their Attorney. Thursday, at Guildhall, two well-known characters, named Stewart and Cooper, were fully committed for trial on several charges of uttering firged two-pound notes. A number of other forged notes and counter feit tokens were also fottud on them, when apprehended. Wednesday, a young roan, namedJostph Thomas, was committed for trial from the Thames Police Office, on a charge of forgery, having pass ed a fictitious bill for 941. drawn on Messrs. Nlacdougal and Co. in pur chasing a chaise. On Sunday night, Mr. Philpot's shop, in Turnstile, Holborn, was attacked by a gang of robbers. Their noise awoke Mr. Philpot, he got up, looked out of kis bed-room window and sprung a rattle, which alarm- , ed the villains, and he saW three men run away from his shop. On cx amining the shutters, it was ascertained that they had been tried in 12 places, but they had forced an opening below, but which proved only to lead to the place where the shutters are kept, and not to the shop. A young woman, respectably dressed, was found drowned on Tues day, about one hundred yards below Westminster bridge. Hand-hills, describing her person, dress, &c. were distributed, and she was owned on the following day. Her name is MESSA tt, and she had lately left the service of a family, in Parliament-street. She was in a state of preg nancy; but for want of evidence, a Coroner's Jury returned a verdict- RAMC' Drowned. Friday afternoon, as a Gentleman's carriage was passing at the rate of nine miles an hour in Mary-le-bone-street, the hinder wheel bounded against a post in giving way for other vehicles, and was overturned with the utmost violence. It was understood to belong to a lady of the name of Weller, in Bryanstone-street, Mary-le-bone ; there were only two persons inside, an elderly lady and a youth about eleven years of age. The coachman was so seven-ly hurt by a wound on his head, that he died on his way to Middlesex Hospital, and the youth within was so much injured in his arm, that it is feared amputation must follow. POACHER s.—For some time past, 0 •terley Parks, the residence of Lord Jersey, and its neighbourhood, about Brentford, have been infested with numerous poachers, some of whom were apprehended on Wednesday light, after a desperate resistance.

ATKINSON'S ORIGINAL CURLING FLUID is recommended as the most elegant article ever invented for dressing the Hair ; it im parts a reviving grateful fragrance, conveys the most beautiful gloss to the Hair imaginable, and gives the " tout ensemble,' that fascintinx attraction which can be obtained by no other means whatever, and it is presumed that its peculiar property of making the Hair curl, and keeping it in form in damp weather, is a convincing proof of its intritt- •.,. sic merit. It stands without competition for nourishing the Hair, is w:tr ranted innocent, add the money retursied if not approved; keeps false hair in curl, and makes it appear natural.
