That on Sunday morning the .1..f-rilaut took a boat at Billingsgate, and desired to cross Il.e wa'er. The moment the boat got into the middle of the stream, she sprung no and plunged into the river, and was saved with much difficulty by the waterman, to wimp s when slw was brought to shore, she declared that she woe . determined to die, and would try it agaio. In answer to the LORD MAYOR'S questions, she said she was tired of her life, which for several years had been a very miserable one. She had been atsersice in Berkshire I was seduced, abandoned, and obliged to go upon the town. She was taken info keeping soon but the man whose she lived with drank hard, ran out of his property, and turned her away, because she refused to prostitute hermit for his support. She had no hope of gcttlog into service, —wool., no longer be a prostitute, and could not endure to return home. The LORD MAYOR thought the CM worthy of Mrs. Fry's attention. and remanded the prisoner for an investigation of her misfortunes before that benevolent lady.. Csr Lion:Atte—A sturdy healthy young man, named Metro Hodges, has been before the sitting Alderman, Sir. S. U. ticaTaa, Hart. 4 both yesterday end on Tuesd ay, and is :till detained in custody, under ciectrinstaners which he, is ith no small display of talent and acuteness, complaint of BS harsh, unjust, and illegal. The prisoner is a Polander, in a wretched state as to cleanliness rind attire, and with his unborn beard s bege whiskers, and shaggy head of lair, is sufficiently alarm-1 in g. BartholomeW Scanlan, a patrol of Castle-Daynard Ward, asured that about 11 o'clock on Monday night, he observed two persons in the avenue leading to Paul's-wbarf, and knowing it to be no thoroughfare, but only a way to the river, he tient down to look after them. One of them (the prisoner) on his approach retired into a public privy the other, a young man in the employ.of gentleman who : has premises on the wharf, told him the prisoner had been lurking about titer , for above bag an hour, and looking np at their warehoute in a way that led him to suspect he was after no gond. Ile (the patrol) did not then disturb the prisoner, linttold the young man he would look dawn again on his return, and it he found the man still lurking abont. lie would then take him in custody. He did return in about hail' an hoar, and finding the prisoner there, he took him in custody and as he refused, both to him and to the constable at the watchhouse, to give any account what lie wanted at the wharf, he was seat to the Compter. Scanlan hail taken him in custody from the same spot, order similar circumstances, the latter end of July The prisoner, app levelly an intelligent man, and per fectly master of the Enklish language, which he speaks vcraluently, though with a strong foreign accent, when asked what answer he had to this charge, replied, with a lonic & manner of much indignation—" What is my offence? I have done nothing to warrant my being brought here." Sir CLAUDIus.—You are found at an unseasonable hoar, lurking— Prisoner (hastily interrupting).—What do yon call lurkins ? I nos not lurking. The place is a public way, a , :11 I was on my own business. It is not just to say I was !tithing. What law hive I broken that !should be stopped. by this man? Sir Cs sum rs.—As yon seem to know something about the law. you shall hear what law you have broken. Mr.. Vivre, the. Magistrate's clerk, then read the clause from the last Vagrant Act, " that all night walkers wan &deg in the public streets or public highways, not giving a satisfactory account of themselves, shall he deemed idle and disoiderly persons; and it shall he la wfoil for any • justice of the peace tocommit such offenders to bard labou'r ir. the lonise of correction for one month." Sir CLavoius.—New you hear the law, and this is not the first time yes have been brought for this offence. Prisoner.—That lathe worse: this is the third time that have been brought here without haying committed any offense. Sir CLAVDIC3.—Every guilty man says be is inno cent. Your offence is, that you were found wandering about at Prisoner.—lVanderingl Now you cali it wandering. 1 was not wandering. What is wandering? Sir CLAU DIVS.—The officer swears you were; and by the law you are tube dealt with as an idle and disorderly per son, unless you give a good account of yourself. What are you ? How do yon get your luring? Prisoner.—l don't think you have a right to ask me those questions. 1 don't choose to disclose my private affairs. Aftsr much more conversation of this sort, Hodges still conterdins he had committed no offence, and therefore .at hound to give any account of himself, the Magistrate re mewled him till yesterday. On his re-appearance at the bar, Sir CLAUDIUS asked him if ha was now willing to give any account of him self. -aril bow be gat his living. Prisoner.—Yes. I say I have some resources from which I derive a small income, and on that I maintain myself. CLAUDIUS..-.-TIIIS is saying nothing. What are the stare of your resources ? Your very appearance is enongh to alarm people at night, and shows you are not getting roacii. i.e law will not permit persons of your appear arce to be lurking— Prisoner (interrupting.)-1 was not lurking. What the patrol calls lurking is not lurking, and it is wrong to call it Ito-king, though my appearance is low. r. PAINE here interposed, and endeavoured at some length to impress upon the prisoner, that the magistrate could have no wish to do him any disservice, but on the contrary, and that it was the imperative duty . of the sffieers of the. night to take up persons found in his shim tiro:, all ail that was required of him now was to satisfy the •Cragistrate that he bad the means of maintaining himself honestly. It was not from any desire of . prying into his affairs, but to justify the magistrate in • dis. charging him. F. t=uner (very sarcastically).—That is a very good speech, Sir, t.ct somewhat too long. I deny that I have committed any offence, and am not therefore bound to disclose my chairs ai.d means of living. Sir CLAUDI:S.—WeII, I have not time to argue further with you now. You shall he brought up again toonorrow, when you will probably find, unless you are prepares to give a better account of yourself, that the law says you hive committed au offence. The prisoner again remonstrated, and was removed from Sc bar. Cott'-STREET.-131:RGLAIIV AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY Yesterday, two lads of the name of Boy. Archer and Cur. wilts* DOnoraa. were brought up by Goodwin and another officer, on suspicion of being concerned in breaking into the dwelling•hoose of .

Capper, a - barrister, who TIIE STATESMAN. was recently committed from this office on a charge of per jury for which crime a true bill hati been found by the Grand Jury for Middlesex, at their last sitting, was yester day admitted to hail. The alleged perjury is in the evi deuce he gave in the Court of King's Bench, in the cue of beech v.Veitch, in which cause be was a witness for the prosecution- MARY-LA•IION7tE Ciretct.—Yesterday, Nary /rood. young and interesting female, about 17 years of age, was charged with robbing Mrs. Mary Willey of divers articles of wearing apparel. Mrs. Willey, whn is nearly SO rears of age, resides at No. 1, Bowling Green Place, High Street, Mary-la-bonne, and the prisoner some time back having lost her situation, and being bereft of friends or support, she humanely took her under her roof, and permitted her to sleep on the same lied, and to partake of whatever her means afforded. Having ' occasion to go out the other morning, she left the'llouse, and the prisoner asleep in bed, at which time her trunk, containing her wearing apparel and other articles, was in the room. On her return she found that her hoshad been opened in her absenoe, and all her property gone, and the prisoner was not to be found. Next day she returned, with all the indifference imaginable, and on being challenged with the rubbery, she undisguisedly confessed it, anti said that she had ple dged some, and sold the rest of the arti cles. She was then given into the custody of the con stable. The property was.produced by the different pawnbrokers, and Mr. Trail swore the prisoner pledged the articles be no* produced. The prisoner admitted the robbery, which she attributed to abject distress. The magistrate committed her fur trial. On being removed from the dock, she burst into a flood of tears. _ _ . Mant.soaoucH4TßEET.—lsatella Sullivan and Cathe rine Fitzgerald in custody upon a charge of baring thrown a man out of the window of a house of ill fame, No. 9, Maynard street, St. 4 .:iles'a, were yesterday brough t op for reexamination. Mr. TURN6II, the Solicitor to the Parish, attended to carry on the prosecution against the prisoners, it being represented to Mr. CON ANT, the Magistrate, that it was tire opinion of the Surgeon of Middlesex Hospital, that them.in was likely to be attacked with a lock jaw, and lose his life from the fracture of both his ancles in the fall. Mr. CoNArrt went, accompanied by Mr. Turner and Mr. Bishop, the clerk, to take down his depositions at the Hospital, whictrwas as follows: —. " He said his nitrite is Thomas Barnes, ib a farmer in Surrey, was passing through St. thles's about two o'clock on. liiesday,.and saw a woman standing at the door of a house, who invited him in. He accompanied her to the front room second' floor when she demanded money of him, which he refused. She t ten called up another woman, who also demanded money, third woman then entered and closed the door. He re fused to give any money, and wanted to depart, but they said he should not. They all three then attacked him, and after some struggling he got to the window, and lifting up the sisli called for a constable, and while doing so he sud denly found his legs out of the window, and in a moment lie fell to the ground. He cannot positively swear whether lie put his legs out of the window himself or was forced out: lie was perfectly sober, but so much alarmed that tie cannot speak to the fact. He was so stunned by the fall, that lie remembers nothing more that occurred after." The evhience of a girl named Susan Perry, who lodges in the house was then taken; she said the man accompanied Sullivan up stairs, heard the demand for money, and thei retinal. Heard Sullivan call up the other prisoner, Fitz gerald, when they closed the door, and a scuffle ensued. She heard the window open, and the man call for a consta ' Me, and instantly heardthe man fall to the ground. He fell on his knees and hands. This statement was corroborated by several other girls ' in the house, but none of them spoke of a third woman mentioned in the man's deposition, who, from the descrip tion lie gave of her, is supposed to be Elizabeth Code, who ' keeps the house, and is a most infamous character. The prisoner said as before, that the man threw himself out, and they were remanded for another examination. The witness Perry was ordered to be taken care of in the work-house, to protect her from the threats held out to wards her, in consequence of her giving evidence. UNION HALL:A person of very respectable appearance and address, named Thomas Cox Raekstrom a resident of the house, No. IS. Lambeth-road, was brought before R. G. CHAMBERS, Esq., under the following circurastances : A gentleman vaned Seaman stated. that on the 12th of Sep tember, he went to the house of the defendant to demand cash for a bill for Oh, which had been passed to him by the de fendant, and dishonoured. Upon that occasion, the defendant threatened to murder him. This was, however, a charge of trivial importance compared with one in which not only the individuals injured, but the whole public were deeply con cerned. An advertisement appeared in The 7imes newspa per ou the 9th of March to the following effvet:—" A person of respectable connexions wishing to obtain a handsome in come by a professional employment without encountering much trouble, has now en opportunity seldom to be met with, by applying to the advertiser. It will be requisite the party applying should possess M. at immediate command. Re spectable references will be given and required. also real name and address. Address, post paid, to B. It., Twopenuy Post office, Fisb-street•hill." On readiug this advertisement, the complainant said lie sent off a note directed according to the Instruction, and received the following answer:—" B. 11. re spectfully informs Mr. Seaman, if he will wait on B. 11. on Wednesday, at five o'clock, particulars la the advertisement will be fully explained.—Dated March 11, 1522, Lambeth road." Mr. Seaman on the receipt of this note went to the house of the defendant, who put him in possession of the im portant intelligence, by telling him that he was the master of two branches of painting, profile and flower, the former of which he should have no objection to resign in favour of some discerning person. He then displayed specimens of the per fection to which be had carried the art, and said that the pro files and flowers he exhibited were performed with a machine of his own invention, and that Myers's and all other inven• tions of the same description were mathematically erroneous, end totally false in principle. The complainant observed to him, that he had used shades upwards of twenty years ago, and asked him whether that particular branch of the art was to be easily acquired to which the other replied, by taking a pencil, making a parallelogram on a slate, and asking, " Is it easy to do that ? Just as easy is it to acquire a knowledge of painting." The defendant did not at all approve of ex citing sanguine expectations, and therefore told the complain ant that pei imps he would not be a complete proficient within a month, but that six weeks would certainly make him a master of the delightful art, by which he would be enabled to put be tween 2001. and 30111. a year into his own pocket, and from 401)!. to 500/. a year into the pocket of his preceptor. Bofors: .the terms of agreement could be entered upon, references were required and obtained by both parties; the defendant giving his to a Mr. Nice, a surgeon, residing in Upper Berkley-street, "Portman-square, who described him as a person of the very nicest honour in pecuniary transactions. The defendant then undertook to instruct his new pupil for the sum of SOL in the new mode of profile painting, without the use of steam. Tue sum was paid down, and the first lesson commenced, but the complainant was astonished to fled that the sew mode was the old mode of Dr. IVollaston, culled by that Ingenious gentle man Ca wra Nelda. Tuis was an early discovery of decep tion ; bur the complainant, anxious to be acquainted with the spirit pf them% determined to arrive at as quick a perfection as possible, even through the track of the usurped invention, and plied at it with all the ardour of genius, prompted by am bition. The reputation of Sir Thomas Lawrence kindled within him all the elements of competition. but lie found in his master a coolness an I carelessness not at all in sympathy witlrhis own ardour. After three or four lessons, neither in• struction nor employment was given to the pupil, who made repented demands for one or the other. At length a court of criminal law'being held out as a menace, the defendant thought proper to promise to refund 251. of the Dig., and the bill el luded to above formed part of that stim. The complainant put the hill in circulation, but it was dishonoured and returned to him ; and on applying at the house of the defendant, he was refused any reco epense. detained against his wilt an hour and a lief, end threatened. if he used any of those epithets which naturally spring out of bad treatment, with that decisive hence which separates soul from body. Upon regaining his li berty, he was informed that a sweat number of young men and women had been duped axiom's- in the same manner. Here several respectable young men stepped forward to cor roborate the description given of this despicable impostor. Mr. Cis a mnitessaid he certainly should hear the different cases against the defendant. as the charge just stated exhi bited a complete fraud, in his opinion, upon the public. The magistrate, addressing the defendant, said, "You are charged with swindling." The defendant.—l have done nothing of the kind. " I have performed the terms of my agreement with Mr. Bosnian, whose object viten to have tise rule to his own hands, but that I Would not pernfit.". A Mr. Barker then stated, that in consequence of an Over tisement similar to that which had been quoted in the first case, 'but* With different initials, be sought and obtained an Interview about 10 months ago, with the defendant, who stated that he would perfect him in the art of profile painting In six weeks, ' and held oat to him just such a dazzling list of advantages as had been poured upon the fancy of Mr. Seaman. The sum of SO guineas Was the a'amunt paid upon this occasion for the pro. raised but unperformed instruction. Mr. Barker had just as much knowledge of the art as he had before he wooed the muse. "In fact," said Mr. Barker, "If a person were to work at the business iii hours a day, the utmost he could earn l in the week would be ad." Here, then, was a deception as to profits, labour; and acquisition of the knowledge of the art. But the consequences of the defendant's practices were more generally felt than was Imagined. Ms servant acknowledged that she had often pet nine letters a day into the Post.otnee, at the command of bar master, in answer to advertisement ap. pllewloos. The defendant, who seems to be quite a man of business, in answer to this charge, said the complainant was quite groundless, as the term of Mr. Barker's pupilage was not yet expired. In fact, that gentleman, if his brains hap pened to be of ordinary dimensions, lastest, of being squeezed by the fingers of Nature, amidst her prodigal distribution to others, would have learned the art. and been a master of it, long ago. Hassan ingenuity, however capable of teaching other animals what appeared to soar beyond their faculties, could never make an impression upon the ineoteigible dulness with which God Was pleased sometimes to visit those who bore his own image. With respect to every thing else that had been uttered against him, be could call the whole business nothing but a conspiracy. Another respectable young man stated that he also had been imposed upon by the defendant, to whom he gave 10 guineas, on his pledge to give complete instruction in the flower -drawing department. Three or filer lessons were to have finished him ; but whether the defendant bad noise calculated his genius, as he bad that of the last complain. ant. at the outset or not, certain it was that the muse had as inexperienced though as willing a votary in him as ever. It was the practice of the defendant, when making an es gagement with any person, to say that the particular person applying was the only one engaged in whatever 1 , department he happened to select. There were, dais witness; believed, a score of complainants who were We fellow-sufferers. Mr. Seaman said there was a tailor in the office who had finseied Bower-painting. and beeame the victim of his fondness for the art, under the discipline of the defendant. Tim tailor stepped up, and said that a compromise bad been made betimes him and the dafeadatet, and that he r mere!) attended from curiosity. The defendant's solicitor contended, that the'citer again* his client was merely a breach of covenant. Mr. Cue Mlt 111 Sal, that he should adjourn th e charges of fraud, that others who had suffered front this prodigals system of imposition. might attend and bring foireratd their charges. He then ordered the defendant to foot bail. ler assaulting and threatening Mr. Seaman. %wail iYock, a carpenter, employed at one of the Iles- pitaleio the tioroegh, and Henry Penny, the waiter Mike Cooper's Arms. in Kent-street, were charged with the murder of Mary Aim Bartlett, an unfortunate mourns, wire has long been known for ter irregularities. I'ennv was at first remitted cos a witness, but lie apprise. ed to be so doily connected with the transaction, that be MN afterwards committed as a principal in the unfortunate affair. Penny stated, that on Tuesday morning, Nock and the girl Bartlett were at his master's boase,the Cooper's Arms, in Kent-street, when be heard Nock say to the woman, that if she would drink a pint of gin in seven minutes, he would pay for it, and if she failed on drinking it, she was to pay. The liquor was Lauded to them by the witness, and while he was gone to get change for a sovereign, which Nock had given him, the woman drank off the liquor ex cept a very small quantity, which she soon after drank, and asked for half a pint more, which the waiter refused to give her. The woman danced about for a few moinente, and then became shockingly affected, and after some time was carried away by some lads, by the direction of Nock, who gave them a shilling to provide her with a bed. Mary Kaler was present when Nock invited the deceased to drink the gin. The deceased, after she was taken to the door, became senseless, and else was soon after taken to Mrs. Bridges, in Royal Tent-court, but she (Mrs. Bridges), seeing that the woman was dying, refused to receive her into the house. but brought out an arm chair into tile street, in which she placed her, and behaved with great kindness. At that time the deceased was foaming horribly at the month and nose. She died in the street, and was taken to the Royal Teut public-house. Several officers gave lestiniony to the drun!cen state in which Nock had been found in the house, and also of the dreadful scenes of depravity which they had seen there. Nock, who was much intoxicoted,denied having tempted the woman to drink. It was lie said, his birth-day, and he asked every one to drink. He had no malice against the deceased, and he wished she had lived and died comfort ably." The prisoners were committed till after the verdict of an !ugliest is ascertained, and the Magistrates expressed their determination to close the home, if it were possible, not withstanding the licence had been lately renewed. WORSHIP STREST.—SIIOCKING AND FATAL Aect next— Yesterday as two drays were turning into Worship Street, a man named John Pricker was against the wall, and the first dray, driven by a person now in custody, turned Roans, passed him ; but as the second dray, without a driver, came to him, he screwed himself up as close as he could to the wall, but his breast was caught by the fore plank of that dray, and the poor man fell, and horrid to relate, the wheel passed over his head and crushed his brains into his hat. The drayman (named Corc) who was not with Isis horses when the dreadful accident happened, was committed till Satitsday, to give time for the Coroner's Inquest.—Rvens WAS discharged. Titawes Polace.-411orris Roach, the landlord of the I North Country Sailor, High street, Wapping, appeared ou summons, for keeping a disorderly house. William Stott, a watchman, depoied, that between 12 and 1 o'clock at night, on Saturday last, the defendant's house was open, and in it were several persons drinking, and cards lay on the table, with which he had no doubt they had been playing, as the table was also chalked. The defendant was extremely abusive, and said lie would keep his house open to any hour ; and yesterday morning, hav ing ascertained that a watchman named Al'Oregor would appear against him, he told witness, with an oath, that Its would knock his eyes out. fil'Uregor deposed dist he had repeatedly cautioned him against keeping his house open at so late an hour, for which be generally received great abuse, and was in danger from 'the threats held out. 'Tice defendant said it was impossible he could pay rest andlaxes, if lie was debarred from keeping, his house open. The Magistrate insisted on the house being closed by eleven o'clock every night, except Sunday, and then al• twelve o'clock. It was impossible to waive a conviction; he therefore sentenced him to pay a line of 31., and tins! bail Ito keep the.peace towards al'Uregor, himself in 401. and two sureties in 201. each. The age of the late General Buckley was incorrectly stated to be 114. The veteran was in his 99th year, and died a bachelor, lie was a farourite of our :ate rung, and his silver stick for many years. SINGULAR CHARACTER.—LateIv died at East Retford. Mrs. Sarah Dawber. Her peculiarity of manners, ands singularity of disposition, rendered her very conspicuous, and obtained 'p: her in IL tford, the well known appellation of " Old Groasou Dutcher." She was born in the same year as his late Majesty, consequently, was in the &gide.. sixth year of her age, and though having past the nuinhe of years which by the ltnyal Prophet has been stated as the comuion period . of human life, still nature seemed to rt.: viva again, until Monday the ult. when having is • only placed a lighted candle ton near her, her cloth..: took lire, in consequence of which she was much scorched • and ktr tight ear twariy burnt off, so that she lingered great misery until Monday last, when death, who is the' soother of all sorrJws, pat a period to her afflictions. Foe several years of la'e her mind was impressed with tile id es that every person who seemed to loak at her, watitsit to rob her, and in order to frustrate their designs she k e p t constantly well armed, having a small room searly full of missiles, brickbats, stones, fee. and at times, when irritated,. did not fail to send a plentiful shower of the same front 0 - it' her chamber windows. Her low room front windows wers constantly shut up, and for several years had not s e en ih• vivifying revs of tile sun, until tire last enemy " shot his dart at her vitals," and we hope removed her to that pace wherethieves break not through nor steal." CANTKRRURY, Sei'r. 23.—Baoag GAOL.--In the night ,of Sunday. or early in the morning of yes:er.lay, Grimm las Edward Browne, who was convicted of a nail) -lees offence, as the special sessions holden for Ibis City, in April lasi,. and sentenced to two tears imprisonment and a line of 1001., made his escape from gaol.
