He said, the Bank being no sufferer by the fraud, Would not prosecute the broker, but were very desirous of giving the poor wo- Man every assistance in the recovery of her emelt. In answer to ad enquiry from the Alderman, he said the broker, who had committed the fraud, was re gularly licensed.. The Alderman on this later anetion, evressed his opinion, that the most saw tail means fdr the complainant to recover ber property wield be to prefer a complaint against the broker to the art of Aldermen, by whom lie was licensed, who, If Illto loss were not immediately mad e good, would direct proceedings against his sureties, and he advised her to apply to• the Bank Solicitor for his assistance. With this advice the pour sufferer, who evidently felt a great deal for the loss of her property, which she said was ber all, left the Justice-room in good spirits, on the pro s ct of its recovery. kiAATTON-GARDEN.--Yesterday, two information against the proprietors of private stills not legally li censed, came on to be heard at this office. Mr. Brafutnell attended on behalf of the Excise. The first • was against !Henry Kean.

In the front kitchen, occupied by the defend ant, they found a large bottle of raw spirits, and in a vault in the front area, a pan full of yeast used for fer mentation. James Smith, a clerk at the Excise•office, proved that the defendant was not licensed to carry on the business of a distiller. From thiPoverty of the de- fendant, Mr. Brummell did• trot press for the full penalty, to which the Magistrates agreed, and con victed him in 501., one-fourth of the full penalty. The next information was against James Jones.

B. Mainwaring, Esq., the sitting Magistrate. A man named John Burrell, who cohabited with Angel, was also charged with the other prisoners with being concerned in throwing Thayers the bricklayer out of the window of a Imam of ill-fame in Charles-street, Drury-lane, in September last. Thayers was supported Into the office, and presented a melancholy appearance. He bad a large cut Ishii forehead, and he described his Wooly as being covered with dreadful contusions and bruises. He was allowed to sit during the examination. fie stated that he was proceeding through Holborn, where he was accosted by Pethick, who succeded in per suading Lim to accompany her to her lodgings in Charles-street ; he did so, and on going into her room, baring bad no dinner, he sent her for some beef-steaks, which she brought, but refused to return him his change; this incensed him, and, after some abusive language, he recovered the money, another woman having persuaded her to return it. He was about to quit the room, when a man presented himself, resembling the prisoner Bar tell, and abruptly asked what be was making a row *bout; he made no reply, and was proceeding out of the room, when the man struck him, and at the same time Tie received a blow from what he thought a candlestick, Which felled him to the ground senseless. He recollected no more of the circumstance till he found himself in the Hospital. The unfortunate witness here looked round at the prisoners, and said he only knew Pethick. Airs. Price, who resided in Charles-street, in a house opposite the one in which the attack was made, stated, that she was alarmed by cries of "Murder!" and on ng out of the window, she perceived Petbick's room snddenly filled with persons, and saw a woman resem bling Pethick throw a man out of the window. Burrell lived iu the . bouse, and she could not swear to any other persons in the mom.• Perlman and Clarice, constables, deposed, that hear ing of the outrage, they went to the spot, and found Thilyers 'lying en his (tarn the kennel. As they were proceeding up stairs, thinking the perpetrators of the offence were there, they saw a man sitting on a table is the parlour. On entering Pethick's room, they found it in the greatest disorder; it bore all the appearance of a desperate conflict having ensued there. The door was torn from the binges, the bannisters and stairs were broke,n, and the walls besprinkled with blood. There was no person in the room ; and on coming down stairs, the man who bad bean sitting on the table had made off. • Scott, another officer, soon ,afterwards apprehended the prisoner at Chelsea. The prisoners, on being called on to give an accesati Of the transaction, all declared that the man bad fallen oltt Ot the window, and that he had conducted himself w ith considerable • violence. Pethick said, that while .she was gode to call the/catch the man bad fallen out of the window. Mr. MAINWAIIING unmarked that the case was involved in considerable mystery. at present, and he remamled dm' prisoders for a week.

Se veral houses were completely flooded. It visited Bath an hour or two earlier. The shower of ice at Dart mouth included ragged pieces of two to three inches long; one actually measured four inches and a half. Among its effects in that neighbourhood were from 2500 to 3000 panes of glass broken.—(Devisee Paper) EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMILTANCI.—TbO COMA* and the gravel walk, at the East-end of the &month* Riier, exhibited a curious appearance on Sunday nom log last. The dykes bad given way next Kensington, sad the torrent of water became es impetuous that tie beiles overflowed, carrying with it multitudes of fishes. Boys were seen catching carp of six pounds weight on the gravel walk and sloping lawn. MELANCHOLY tintewascx.---On the 29th nit. the ship Lark, of South Shields, James Armstrong, mate ter, from St. John's. Newfoundland, bound for Leith, with a cargo of timber, sprung a leak in. 57 degrees north latitude; the crew, thirteen in number, with five passengers, remained up the rigging eight days, during which four men died. They at length, la ems sequence of the vessel making no way, had recourse to the long boat, and were only able to secure a few potatoes, with a young pointer dog; they ressalued six days at sea, during which two men died ; the crew and passengers survived three days on the dog. Their provisions being at length about expended, they kept one of the corpses in the boat, when providentially the sloop Sea Gull of Lerwick. picked them up about 3O miles west of Saubnre% Head, Shetland, (being also of a crew and three passengers survivors.) and brought them safe to Tohermory, Isle of Mull. It is much feared that some of them will require to have their limbs amputated, they being swollen and discoloured in a shocking manner. When the crew and passen gers left the ship, she was quits entire, and, in all pro bability, she will come ashore on the west side of the coast of Ireland. MIRACULOUS nutamtvaTtect.—An account has Sep peered in the different papers of the loss of a brig. ap posed to be the Hoffnung, of Altona, which went down us the tioodwin Sands on Friday afternoon last, with the crew and two of a boat's people belonging to Deaf% viz. John Orrick and William Daw es, the tint% & wife and nine children, and every perm/Owes to have perished. But the all-merciful hand of row deuce was most particularly extended in the proem don of Dawes ; for when the ship broke away from the flamingo, the foremast carried away, and the ship was fast slog, as en bused took ts, mainmast ; one dreadfal sea, however, xed e brig, the mainmast went br w t o tboard, Led every soul was plunged into the deep of the ocean. Dawes, after buffeting with the waves on that dreadful day for some time, succeeded in getting hold of part of the wreck , to which he clung, and to wbicb, at length, he secured himself. Here another and worse fate appeared to await him, that of perishing through told and hunger : in this sate, without the least sustenance, and with every sea beating over him, be remained until Tuesday afternoon. when be was most miraculously discovered (in a state of the greatest exhaustion and almost at the last gasp) floating off the Galloper, by a foreign brig passing down Channel, who kindly . took him on board, and ren dered him every assistance in their power. Having met a brig coming up Channel, she was hailed, but not un• derstanding the language of each other, poor Dawes was exhibited, and by signs informed them of his case; be was in consequence taken on board of the brig, which was homeward-bound, and ultimately landed at Dungeness, from whence he was sent to the New Inn, Romney, where such necessaries as the nature of his case required were administered ; and he was so far recovered as to be able to proceed home. What the feelings of his wife sad relations, at beholding one, who had, as it were, arisen from the grave, may be more easily felt than described.—(Kent Herald.) ASTONISHING maims OF MlND.—About five weeks ago. Matthew Cutts, of No. 3, Deep Pit Col liery, near this town, having laid a train of gunpowder for the purpose of explosion in the bed below, lighted the match, and was ascending in the corf, when sud denly the horse above stopped, lay down, and was not to be moved for some time, so that the pour man re mained suspended, about eleven yards from the bottom and a hundred and fifty from the top. In this perilous instant, knowiag that if be remained a .fpw Woods longer he must be shattered to atoms by the blast, and if he cast himself out of the corf he must as inevitably be killed in the fall—with admirable presence of mind, he pulled off his jacket, and threw it down so oppor tunely, that it extinguished the match before it could ignite the train ; and thus happily he was delivered from imminent destruction. But, in the mysterious dispensations of Providence, he was only reserved for another dreadful though less sudden end. A fortnight afterwards he fell from a stage, about nine yards high.l in the same pit. By this accident be was severely bruised in many parts, but particularly injured is the spine. Being taken to the Infirmary, all skill and at tention failed to restore him. He died in a few days, and was followed to the grave by many hundreds of his fellow-labourers and neighbours,. who deeply lamented his unfortunate dissolution. He was a good man, and it is hoped well prepared for death in any form. (Sheffield Iris.) Wednesday night the Princess af Wales Tavern, near the Obelisk, Westminster-road, was robbed of sove reigns, Bank notes and silver, amounting to near lOW. besides other property. The house is kept by a widow, who was with the Exciseman in the cellar during the time the robbery was effected. Theproperty was in thelandla dy's bed room, in a chest of drawers, on the first floor. l .Some suspicious persons were seen in the pailottr, anti one or two strangers in the kitchen. The robbers, by means of false keys, opened the door at the liiittam of the sham and also the chamber doui, and u ric: n s way with tue plunder unobserved. • - • • ' • ~•- POLICE. .....•0111.•......

Taylor, the constable, who took the parish engine, succeeded in breaking the main pipe, and by that aeons procured plenty of water, which forpnately saved the nerghbor.rhood. Mr. Clark's 1 house was burnt to the ground, and the roofs of three adjoining houses were much damaged. Extract of a letter from Manchester, Nov. 20.—The following shocking occurrence took place at Salford Fair, in this neighbourhood, last night. Two young men and women left this place yesterday for Salford; when about to return from thence in the evening, one of the young women proposed calling upon a relation. who keeps a public-house in the town : they accord ingly did so, when, after a short time, on calling for supper, finding nothing in the house they liked. the young men went out to procure something better. It was tow approaching twelve o'clock, and the you* men were returning, when they perceived a man sad woman in a very indelicate situation in the public path.' One of them, named Rafferty, was so indignant that he expressed himself is angry terms to the man, who Immediately advanced towards him, and opening a ; enknife. plunged it into Rafferty's left side. Rafferty u tered a groan, rushed into the house, fell down, and lawn after expired. The unfortunate person who W asted the wound suffered himself to be taken without j making any attempt at escape or res . istance. He did not appear to be conscious of what be 'had done, but stood completely stupified, looking 'on the body as if nothing bad happened. These are all the particulars I have been able to ascertain the truth of. The un happy man who was guilty of the act, is said to be the son of a respectable coach-maker. The Inquest is io be held on the body of the deceased to-morrow. An inquisition was taken on Wednesday before J. W. Cowin. Esq. Coroner, at the Angel Inn, Eglinon too, on the body of an old man named Patrick Wall, ostler at the Rose and Crown Inn, at all, above place. It appeared that on Friday seinniglgt the main road near the bridge at Duck-lane was renderer totally im passable by an immense flood to the depth of four feet, which communicated to a ditch of great length and depth, that emptr o t a l itself i into the Lea. The inunda tion was caused the late rains, and the coaches and waggons were obliged to go round a mile before they could get on the other side. The ground floors of several houses were knee deep in water. The de ceased was at Tottenham about six o'clock in the evening, and was on his road home when he was over taken by • milkman named Titugarsh, who was on horseback, and he living near the deceased, he incited him to ride behind him, which he agreed to, and mounted. Oa their arrival at the flood they were met by a cart loaded with bay in the middle of the water. The horse which they rode shied at the cart, and the deceased slipped off into the water. The impetuosity of the current 804 D carried the unfortunate man away into the ditch ; he was beard to cry " Lord, have mercy upon me!" but in a moment he was lost. His jelly Wog picked up a mile beyond where he fell, and had bees carried ander several arches ; his head was cut in' several places by being knocked against the brickwork of the arches as be was carried through.— The unfortunate man had resided at Edmonton for the last forty years, and bore an exemplary character. He has left a wife and five children.—Verdict --Acci dentally drowned. DAZADIPUL SIVICIDIC.A melancholy circumstance took place at the Greyhound Inn, Newmarket, last week. Two young gentlemen, E. M.,, Esq., and his brother, arrived at the above house, from Cambridge, and -pent the day there. Between seven and eight o'clock in the evening they prepared to return; the waiter brought in their box-coats, when the younger gentleman desired him to be careful how be handled them, as they contained loaded pistols. The man put the coats down, and retired, when the gentleman who bad given the caution took the pistols from the pockets of the coats and laid them on the table. Mr. M. then requested his brother to see if the gig was ready : lie had scarcely retired for the purpose when he was alarm ed by the report of fire-arms. He instantly ran back, and on entering the room found his unfortunate brother stretched on the floor, a corpse.—On examining the body it was found that the ball had entered the cheek, and passed into the head. Both candles were extin guished. An Inquest has been held on the hotly, and a verdict of " Insanity" was returned.—The unfortunate gentleman appeared about twenty-two years of age, was highly respected, and allied to a family of the first re spectability and property. The cause of the melancholy catastrophe is said to have been a love affair. BgROLARY.-At an early hour on Thursday mom lug, the house of the Honourable Fitzroy Stanhope, in Sloane-street, Knightsbridge, was broken open and robbed of plate, &c. to the amount of batween 2 sod 3.)U1. The robbers, it is supposed, concealed them selves on rednesday night in a honse adjoining, which isnot inhabited,and which, it is discovered. was a'so broke open, and waited till Mr. Stanhope and the I whole of his family had retired to bed. The robbers effected an entrance from the garden at the back of the house, where a small iron bar bad been forced from the window in the back kitchen, and a square of glais broken, which enabled them to open the windows. A piece was cut out of the back and front kitchen doors, which enabled them to unbolt thedoors, and in a closet in the front kitchen the plate happened to have been left, which very rarely occurred. This circumstance, it is supposed, was known to the robbers. or it brio! suspected to be what is called a put-op robbery, by some persons who had access to the house informing the thieves of the place were the plate was to found. Another conjecture is, that the closet in the front kitchen where the plate was kept, had, beep seen bribe robbers or those connected with them, from the urea in Slow-street -1 14 is supposed that Site, 'robbers *ere distur6Land took alarek soon after three o'clock, as . thepeft a silver jug behind _them .in the kitchen, and du* 0 net peocceci to,ptuoller any, other pug o f the lionpr., rbcri.is.Jl 401 thai they lefs, the house prrcipWstely, as thay leis belkioqd theist a variety of kr Afar r 4 # clo.9"tiuV;ki! a gt .
