['OWI:R. f Ilanstoahnottse.—Yesterday two boys, named Samuel and Ryan, underwent a final examination on a charge of bating stolen, and a woman named Mary Ryan, and a man named Nathan, were also charged with having received icnowingly, 27 sovereigns and 21. in silver, the property of it blind pensioner, named *Dale. This was a case of a most complicated maitre, and has been under investigation upwardsof. a morth. IPDahs, who had been a soldier, came up to town with his wife and son, to receive his pen sion and buy something to tura to account in his own vila lagi. Having got his pension, he was rimming through 'the town, when, not knowing the way, he asked a man Who sweeps the streets to guide him and treated him with beer. • The blind man, unfortunittelv.got drunk and tumbled about the streets. The guide, thinking the blind man,would lose his money, took it from him and put it in his awn pocket; but when he was requested by the blind man's wife, who met them, to deliver it up, he declared that be had lost it. This story was not believed: the guide was taken into cui tody and examined. 'While lie was in custody, Bye's was taken up on suspicion of having stolen some money. He had gone to buy a hat, and displayed 5 sovereigns on the occasion. He declared that a bag of money was dropped by the leader of the blind. and. was picked up by a boy, who gave him U. for crying '. halves." The case was remanded from time to time in the hope that the boy named Sathuel, whodtad . picked up the bag, would be found. The female prisoner, Ryan, and Nathan, with whom she lived, attend. ed from day to day, in behalf of her brother. As there was no evidence against the boy, as the innocence of the guide was established, and as there was no hopes of getting hold of Samuel, who had the remainder of the money, the five sovereigns were given up to the blind man; and the whole were discharged. • . The day after, however, to the surprise of the !Notice, the boy Samuel surrendered himself. He said that be had picked up thehtirse, bill did not know the owner, and was about to lay out the contents. when Mary Ryco told Lim ' that her brother was taken, and that i: be (Santee') did not set , le with the blind man, her brother and himself would he transported. Samuel said, that as soon,as he found an owner for the money, be gave it to Mary Ryan and Nathan to give to the blind man. Mary 'Ryan then told him that he must - be kept out of the way, and actually concealed hint in her house until her brother was discharged. Samuel was surprised upon_guing abroad, that the blind man hail received none of the money he had sent, and gave himself up ; and npon this sta.eno to, Mary Ryan, her brother. and Nathan, were apprehended. They all denied that there was a word of truth in the statement that they had received any money from Samuel, or 'men him within their ,doors. Samuel, however, was seen by a butcher giving the money into Mary Ryan's hands: he was seen often in her house, and new furniture was seen taken into the house, although Mary Ryan and Nathan were just before living in wretched poverty: Under these new circumstances the question arose, what offence Mary Ryan and Nathan were guilty of in appropri ating-r the money . teltich Samuel sail he bad delivered to them to give to the right owner. Aftera long consideration, it has yesterday ilecla , ed npon the whole evidence, that no offence bad been committed of which the magistrate could take cognizance ;• and, to the regret of all lovers of justice in the Justice Room, Mary Ryan and Nathan were neces. eerily discharged with the other prisoners. The blind man eauld not be made ta believe that the law allowed such offenders to escape. He hoped to have them before twelve honest men, and until then ire could not be satisfied or believe that he had jnstice. He whs told that he might prefer bills against them, and he left the office determined to do so. GLILDRALL —Ccorge Day was charted by John Proud foot, son of 51 i. Proud foot, of Red Cross-street, Cripplegete, with stealing and secreting a quantity of soap from their manufactory, where he was employed. The prosecutor stated that his father and himself had re p atedly missed soap and other articles from the shop, and *1 nigh tho.r hniiness haa increased within the year. three fold, st.ll tic Returns:tie:tied so little profit, that they de termined wtrt,%Aly to wat-.11 the prisoner. While* in a back part of the warelertse, on Friday morning, the pri soner came to his work alioat a quarter past sevea o'clock, as usual. He hal not remained lung before he (Mr. P.) heard the actioa of cutting soap, and the noise of a knife dropping. He then ran into the shop, and in order to as certain what bad been stolen, by searching the place, be sanaiDay out upon some business. He then bad a thorough search, and fonnd large pieces of soap hid in various places, the cellar, the dust-hole, &c. Previous to this he had re. ceived privilte intelligence of the depredations being car ried on °pan the premises, which stimulated Lim .to a s.ricter lark out, and before retiring to rest on Friday, he minted the pieces of endplaying promiscuously in the slap; the number was then fitty.two ; but on Saturday morning, on again egsallotng them, fifty only remained. He then taxed the 'prisahei with the robbery, who did not deny it. but confessed when and where he had secreted the picas stolan.'' I-tarragon; the officer, to whom'a sa-areh warrant was grant ed fur the purpose of searching the house of a receiver in Field-lane, James Barnett, then stepped forward along with Burnett, who sias immediately ordered to the bar.— This witness stated that he bad proceeded to the last pri soner's horse, an upon searching it, discovered four .sanares of Windsor soap in a drawer. and under the bed a large - hos of 'honied soap, which he seised and carried along with the receiver tothe office. Tbe pros,cutor said he would swear to the soap, and tharefore the Magistrate, SIR JAmEs SHAw, said the pri soners bad beitie not say anal thing, though. called upon, io their defence tilllhorsday, as the case was too Weir i to admit of say doubt.—Remanded till Thursday next.

It appeared that there had been a boxing match some ; where on Epping Forest, on the 31st of July last, and among the numerous parties of all descriptions who had been to sue it was one of seven or eight men who had hired a horse and cart belonging, to the defendant to convey them " there and beck," at so much per head, the defendant un dertaking to drive. On their return at night, the whole party full of liquor, the horse was completely knocked up in balston-Tare, and could move no further, in spite of the efforts of the defendant, who beat him with all his strength over the loins with the butt end of his whip. He persisted in this cruelty until he was absolutely tired out himself and he then gave the whip to another of theparty, desired him to " lay on." The ruffian to whom he banded the whip, " nothing loth." continued beating the unforto nate animal for about half a mile further on, wheat the de fendant again resumed the savage employment, and persist ed in it until the poor creature fell dead upon the road.— Among a oumber of persons who witnessed this transaction, were three of the dismounted patrol, who, much to their credit, interfered, and in spite of resistance, got the name and number on the cart, and caused the defendant to b; brought before the Magistrate on Saturday last, he having centrist d to elude pursuit up to that' time. The defendant on Saturday denied the charge altogether, and produced what lie called " a certificate" from one Wal ker, a knacker, stating that the horse died from internal decay. and not from cruel beating. The Magistrate of Course disregarded this certificate, and was about to convict the defendant, when the latter begged a postponement, alleging that lie should be able to bring witnesses who could completely clear him from all blame.— This was consented to, and yrterday the case was again called on, but the defendant was not prepared with any evidence to rebut the charge. He said several personspro• ambled to come forward, but they had nut appeared, and he had no power to compel their attendance. lu behalf of the prosecution William Staniland, Esq. of Miami and Lon don, merchant, was called, and deposed that the treatment of the horse was the most inhuman that could be conceived ; and that the poor animal at length fell down, gave a vio lent plunge, rolled over, and expired. Mr. HALLS, after some suitable remarks upon the savage conduct of the defendant, convicted him in the full penalty of M. He said he was unable to pay ss. amt was committed to the House of Correction fur three months, there to be kept to hard labour. HATTON-GARD/IN.—P(IPR OSSTLEMAN.—A tall, slender personage, whose habiliments were in that state of wear usually denominated shabby genteel, and who in appear. ante and description of hitoseif seemed to be the counter. part of the person designated in some of the police reports, " the poor gentleman from Cork," and of whom an ac count appeared last week under the head of Bow Street, was brought up, charged with pestering the inhabitants of the streets and squares at the west end with written peti tions, imploring aid. The extent to which this practice has of late been pursued, induced a gentleman in Beruard Street, Hassell Square, to odium he applied, to have him taken up. On searching his person, a pocket-book was found, containing an abundance of petitions, many of which were addressed ; and among other pspeivere some certi ficates, which, if genuine, showed that h ead formerly been in the army. The prisoner, when called on for his defence, stated, in language superior to that generally heard under similar circumstances, that he had been bred up as an attorney, to complete him for which profession 1,300 f. bad been ex nded ; but that, being tiaforte nate, lie was compelled to reliatinish his profession - and enter the army, where be had served many years, as a certificate among his papers from General Sir --_...... Doyle would prove. He had certainly applied, as had been stated, for assistance. and when a per son was in distress, what were they to do? He never pre. viously had been before a magistrate, and he hoped the ma gistrate would be lenient with him, as tie would never offend again. He wanted to collect a few shillings to carry him down to Liverpool, where he had friends. The sitting magistrate, Sergeant SaLLON, observed, that he bad brought himself within the description of those com mon persons who go about soliciting alms ; but wit did not appear from the papers before bins that he had given &false account of himself, and as he had promised never to offend again, he should this time discharge him. Martin Balmer was charged by Wm. Colton, a constable, with attempting to pick several gentle Men's pockets the preceding evening at White Conduit House, on their coin ing out of the tiardeo from seeing the balloon. Witness having procured assistance, succeeded Ft capturing the pri soner, on which they were attacked by a numerous gang of pickpockets with a volley of stones and brickbats, and many of them were severely wounded. The prisoner being iden tified by the officers as a well known thief, he was convicted, as a rogue and vagabond, and sentenced to 3 months' impri sonment in the House of Correction. Yesterday, a man with a dark bushy beard, which• nearly hid his feaiures, was brought up in the custody of Charles Read and Thomas Amsden, Bow Street patrol, charged with being a twin. and vag abond. The prisoner who gave his name James Gait/nen, is a well knot, n character on the town; he was taken up in Holbarn singing in a foreign language, and accosting ladies and gentlemen: lie is blind of the. right eye. On his being searched, several cards of address, a Jewish hymn-hook, and a passport signed that day by the French Consul, were fodtid in his pocket; he spoke the English language very fluently. On the Magis• trate asking him wbat religion he was brought up in, or why be let his heard gross ? He said he was brought up a Protestant, bat seeing his error he renounced it, and was converted to the Jewish religion, in which he expected to lire and die; he haddseen a Staff Sergeant in the Id Royal Veteran Battalion, and had a pension of Is. a day, which he threw up; and his intention was to go to the Continent to !taxi: rbub orb, and other articles. The fila- ; istrate ordered the passport to be inclosed and returned to the French Corsets', and the prisoner to be committed for 3 months as a rogue and vagabond to the House of Correction, and to hare his beard shaved off. ' MARLSOROVsIi-STREET.—Yesterday James Clerk, a young man, was examined, charged by (Jul. Oleyrick", of 27, Berkeley-square, with haying stolen two valuable gold watches, Sect of emeralds and diamonds, also a sot of cloy. wphus, anotherofamethysts and pearls, a pair of diamond* ear-rings, and various gold chains, and other jewellery, his' property. It appears that the prisoner was a private in the 31 regt. of Foot (bawds, hut was received into the service of the prosecutor as footman, and ultimately was discharged from the situation in consequence of various acts of impropriety. After he had quitted the service, he visited the house on three or four occasions. • On the latter one he found means 'to enter an apsetinent where the above valuable property ' a as deposited, and lie contrived to steal it, and immediately absconded. Intormation was given at the office, and hand bills issued for the discovery of the prisoner, 'who was traced by Westeot, the officer, to he at Brighton, to which place lie was dispatched ; bat in consequence of the bills giving the description of the prisoner, he was taken into cus tody by a coestanle of that town, who was bringing him to • Landon,ailen Westcot met them. The prisoner it appeared had contemplated a resistance, as lie had, prior to his leav iag London, provided himself with a brace of loaded pistols, which were found, with most of the property. Colonel Merrick attended to give evidence, bet in order to.tsave 'the whole of the evidence present, the prisoner was re- . ma ruled .• .44vegsSituAeg.—StioP LI PIING EXTRAORDINARY:4[M terday Mgr* Healey, a very pretty woman, apparently wider Weary-yew of age, with a tine child in her arms, was brought before Mr. Huambo n, charged with privately stealing a card of lace, nine V. 10s., In the shop of Mr. Adeld, linen-draper in Pirliament-street, on Monday night It appeared that the prisoner west into the silty to pur chase some trilling article, and in the mean time, another customer came in. One of the shopmen went t.s serve that person, whilst the other was looking for the article which she wanted. Observing them thus busy, sbe concealed the lace under her shawl; bat, unfortunately, for her, she *as observed by the farthest shopmen, who came and took it from her, and gave her into the custody of a constable, wbo took her to the watchhoust for the night. The Prisoner, in her defence, raid that the card of lace had fallen upon the ground, and she had merely picked it up, when she was accused of stealing it. She hail always maintained a good character, and had sufficient money to purchase lace if sbe wanted it. Her husband was are. spectsble tradesman residing in Regent-street, and is in very reputable ercunistanFes. The Magistrate Ismented that a female of such respecta bility should be so 'unfortunately tempted by such a paltry bauble as 50s. worth of lace ; it was evident she could nut resist the temptation. Not being aware that the charge affected her life, he hoped it would be spared, bat transport ation was inevitable. The Prisoner wept bitterly. She was remanded for fur ther examination. UNION-HALL.—A sailor, an iojored husband of warm temper, was brought up in custody, charged by a mean looking fellow, who said he was a housekeeper, with an assault. The complainant said the sailor knocked at his door the . n4/fit before, and the moment it was opened knocked him down, saying, " you are the man I want." The defendant cried out, "he had my wife in the house at the time ; I saw her there as soon as the door was opened." The Megistratiasked the complainant whether it was true that the defendant's wife was in the house? The complainant said she had been there for some time, but he had sent her away that morning. The defendant dethred, that he had been married six teen years, and having. lately returned from sea, expected to be happy the rest of his life ; but he found her liv ing with the fellow who now complained of his indig natim. . _ The complainant said the sailor had threatened his life, and he was afraid to lease the Office alone—a statement which his visage showed was sincere. The Magistrate told the sailor, that though he had been badly used, lie most not take the law into his own hand, and could not be discharged without security to keep the peace. The poor tar said if he must go to gaol as well as lose his wife, he could not help it. lie was detained to find security. LesineTu•STßEßT.—Yesterday the final examination of the persons implicated in the robbery of Mr. Clark. a car penter, took place, when Elizabeth Britton, Mathew Bet ley, and Ann, his wife, and Ann Bosley, his mother, aged ;0, were placed at the bar. The circumstances were these:—During the temporary absence of Mr. and Mrs. Clark, on Friday week, from home, Britton, who uas their servant, and had been cautioned not to leave the house, brake open the box in which Mr. Clark kept his money, and took out of it a canvas bag. cont titl ing 100 sovereigns and a la note, which she took to B Irv's house close by. Mrs. Bosley scarcely knew what to chi with so much wealth, and at length buried it in her gar den, but fearful of being found out, she d::g it up again a day or two after, and pee it to her husband, who, equally ignorant what to do with it, took it to his mother (the elder prisoner). residing at Deptford, and by her it was buried (except the note) by the side of a public road. Informa tion nas given at this Office, and Lea, one of the officers, was intrusted svitia the management of this business. Af ter two examinations Britton confessed the robbery. The clue having been once obtained, Lea traced its -windings until a few nights ago he went to Deptford, and, after a long search, dug up the bidden treasure, to the amount of 92 sovereigns. The old woman afterwards voluntarily gave up the 101. mote, and, strange to say, although thepropeity has gone through so Imlay bands, the officer succeeded yes terday in gathering the whole 1 la Mr. HARDWICK& said that he would write•to the Refuge for the Destitute for the admission of Bti'ton.—The other prisoners were reprimanded and discharged, iu consequence of 'tie unwillingness of Clark to prosecute. THAMES POLICE.—Thos. littelson Harris, of Widegate Street, Bisimpsyrate, was yesterday brought before J. Bab. LANTINE. El. for final examination, on,a charge of stab bing Mr. Wni. Alpin, of Moorfields, on board the Royal Sovereign Steam Packet. The prosecutor, who was brought to the office in a coach, looking almost the death like victim of the prisoner's fury, stated In a very infirm tone, that on the 12th inst. be and his wife and family, with other friends, joined a large party on board the packet, which had been engaged on that day for the ben.lit of a Society called the h riends of Man. Witness was sitting on deck with his child on his knee, when • scuffle ensued be tween the prisoner and a boy carrying • pail of water ; the prisoner in rescuing the pail from the boy, struck one of the prosecutor's children on the head, which exasperated' the mother, who instantly gave the prisoner a slap in the ' face, in consequence •f which, words ensued between the prosecutor and prisoner, which, as the former supposed, was soon terminated ; but in about a quarter of an hour af ter, the prisoner, who had, in the interval, left the deck, returned and inquired who it was that struck him. Mrs. Alpin replied, site did; the prisoner then resumed his for mer quarrel with the prosecutor, and without hesitation stabbed him with a case knife over the right eye, in doing which he broke the blade in two. Not content with this, he whirled round him, and made another incision near to the same position, which caused a great deal of blood to flow on the deck, and the passengers contemplated that it would be impossible for hint to be taken home alive. The vessel was at this time passing Woolwich. Here the part of the knife was produced, and identified by Sarah Boyce, of Hoxton Town, who saw it drop from the prisoner's hand, alter the perpetration of the dead, reeking with blood —and the prisoner observed to witness,— ,, If you stand over me, I'll serve you the same. 1 was the man who did prisoner was then committed to Maidstone gaol for trial.

Several persons were brought from the watchhouse, charged by Hanley, the officer. fur attempting to pick pockets at the time of the balloon's ascent, at White Conduit-house. They were held to bail. The proprietor of the Tavern at White Conduit-lronse attended to state, that although great public. disappoint meat hail arisen from the failure of the balloon's ascent, it was nut to be attrikuted to any Intention' to deceive, but to the material being of lawn instead of silk. At the Police Court, Bath, on Wednesday, a cripple tai lor, Who has figured oftrn at the same bar, was sentenced to pay a guinea, or to he confined for fourteen days, and fed on bread and water, for disturbing the neighbours while chastising his unfortunate helpmate.
