Friday Street. endetwent aC l i einsushnstion en Saturday, before the Sifting Magistrate. Mr..Ahlennalf.Cox, on a charge of being contented In the robbery of the waggon on the night of 'Thursday, the IStb of Airlift. IA the afternoon' of Friday. the 29th nit.. Corby, an of f icer of St. Andrew's parish, got information that a hackney easch had been se..n to stop at the end of a court in Shoe Lane, and that a considerable quantity of bulky good* had been taken therefrom and lodged in a house there,. He and the parish conetahles. Jones and Wildest, determined to 'verb, and towards evening the female prisoner was seen to come out of the court with a boodle t she was stopped. and on examining it, it was found to be a piece of about ten yards of new gingham. The officers immediately searched the house where she lodged, sad in the room occupied by Watson they found the prisoner Smith and the whole coach-load of property, consisting of several piecce of cambric-muslin. calico, sheeting. ging ham, Ste. &e. Having thus secured the prisoners and the • bncity, the officers soot found an evidence who bad seen them both assist in unloading the coach; and after a abort examination the next day they were remanded, to give time for the officers to trace the owners of the property, of which Watson and Smith denied all knowledge. The officers discovered that the goods were part of a package forwarded from the house of Mr. Alderman Thorpe, A 'agate, to Mr. James Davis, linen-draper, Sontliempton, by IVallington's wagtails, en the Thursday night previous, and on inquiry at the waggon office, on Tuesday, the proprietors there bad beard nothing of the robbery, though four days had elapsed since it had been committed. No alarm was then gives, bet as the prisoner Ellis, the waggoner, on the sight of the robbery, was to go the same journey that evening, two officers followed the waggon. On their return to town they brought him with them in custody, and attended on Saturday to give their evidence before the Magistrate. Watson and Smith were first put to the bar; the evi dence against them was in substance what has already been stated. Mr. Steward, from Alderman Thorpe's house identified the whole of the property, including the piece of gingham !mind on tire person of Watson, as part of the contents of a truss, the whole value of which was about 641. The property produced was in value about 271. The truss hail been rut, hut the remainder of its contents had at% rived safe. Mr. Jackson, from the White Horse Inn, loaded 'the trues himself on the Southampton waggon, on Thurs day evening. The prisoners, who again denied all knowledge of the ronherr, or how the prapertv came into that room, were then taken from thu bar, and allis;the waggoner, brought forward. Fache and Wilden then told their story ; they had watched the two waggons, for there was a second went out in connection with Ellie's, as there had also been on the night of the robbery, as far as Hounslow. Here theyasked Ellis to give them a lift to Egham, and they rode an the waggon to that place, where they much surprised their conipanions by asking where their foreman lived, Mr. Ley land ; the waggoners showed them, and from their con versation with him, and by what they got from Ellis him self, it appeared, that although he (Ellis) acknowledged having discovered the robbery before he got to Brentford, he never mentioned it to the driver of the second waggon, who joined him at Hounslow. nor to Mr. Layland at Egham, nor to his own wife when be got Lome to Long . bottom, Year Farnham; but on his return, on the Friday, lie :hen told Mr. Layland of it, and that a chest of tea was also Bone front the waggon; l out on his arrival in London be gave no information of either circumstance. The ac count lie hail risen to Mr. Layland and that to the officers differed in some particulars, but nothing else had occurred on the road, or !cis )et been discovered, to implicate him in the r,hl cry. What had transpired was, however, deemed nt by the Nlagistrate to warrant the remanding of h m,, toeener wi'll the other two pti,.oncrs, till the facts can be further investigated. UNION-II Lf..—SAturtlav morning a leiter. of which the tot lowin is a c vy, was received by the Magistrates at- Union : SIRS—"I Clink it my duty to acquaint you. that a met.ical rnor., who is a prisoner in this prison, has. before me and se.

(Signed) JOIIN ELDER DEFFIRLD. " To the Sitting Alagistratesof Union•hall, Surrey." The contents of this letter excited a strong sensation amongst the %lactates tes, of whom a considerable number were present when it was received ; end it was determined that not a moseent shoold be lost in investigating the charge it con tained. Accordingly three Magistrates, L. B. Allen, Randle Jackson. and James Laing, Esqrs. attended by Mr. Staples, the clerk. instantly proceeded to the King's.

The public, however, will properly appreciate the proaipmesswitli tibial the Magistrates Insti tuted the inquiry. Mr. Martin, of °away, came to the olEe.e, and presenting, a cad to the sitting Magistrate. with the n sup of Thomas Fey written on it, said he wanted a 4141111111011$ fur that fel.

Magistrates, whether those horse butcher's licenses should not be taken from them. if they do not kill off their borers at once, without potting them to the torture before their execution. Magistrate—Did the meow you complain of beat the horse with cruelty? Mr. Martin (with great vivacity)—Certainly, sir; do yen think I don't know my own business? Certainly. sir, the person of whom I complain beat the horse with very great cruelty. I saw him; so did roy servant. The Magistrate ordered a summons to be issued for Tues day, and Mr. Martin left the office, promising that be and his servant would - certainly attend to give evidence. Sarah Morgan, a well-dressed rid, not more than twelve years of age, was brought upon a charge of stealing a silk shawl. Mrs. Mahony, aperson of respectable appearance, stated that on Friday evening her sister and herself went to the shop of Whitewall Greenwood, in Blatkfriars-road, to boy a silk shawl. The prisoner entered the shop at the same time, and took a seat near them, and looked at the shawls that were shown them, as if she were one of their party.— The witness bought the shawl, and left the shop with her sister; and the prisoner came out with them without hav ing offered to buy any thing. This conduct excited their suspicion, and they watched her, and observed that she walked fast and turned the next corner;—they in conse quence went io a direction by which they might meet her, and having met her they stopped her, and the witness found a new shawl concealed under the shawl the prisoner wore ; they immediately brought her back to the shop. Messrs. White and Greenwood's shopman deposed that the shawl taken from the prisoner was their property. The prisoner being asked would she say any thing in her defence, astonished the audience by declaring that when the witness metter, after they haeleft the shop, she asked her what she had under her shawl, and searched her and found nothing. The witness then took the shawl pro duced from under her own,and said to the prisoner," Now you most come back to the shop, for I'll say it was you stole this." The officers stated that the prisoner, young as she is, had been four months confined at Brixton on a conviction of stealing shawls before, and that there are at present a num ber of shawls detained by pawnbrokers, which bad been offered to pawn by a person of her description, who, on being sent to bring the owners, had not returned. The Magistrate delayed committing the prisoner for trial, to give time for the pawnbrokers and persons a ho bad lost shawls to attend. HATTON OARDEN.—On Saturday, IVm. Cosh rave, a working goldsmith and jeweller, was charged with pawn ing a gold ring, a brooch, and seal, the property of a gen dement, who gave then, to him to repair. Some gentlemen of the trade stated that the prisoner was the best workman in London, sod perhaps in the world, and might be an opulent man had he but attended to his busi ness, and could easily earn from seven to ten pounds a day, and never want work ; instead of which he was idle and would not work, but spent his time smoking and drinking in public-houses with persons of the very lowest description, and whenever any work was it.t.-usted to him he was sure of pawning it. As one instance of the prisoner's surprising abilities,it was stated that some years age be made a coach with 4 wheels, of gold and ivory, not bigger than a pea, ' with a complete set of gold harness for two dens, which drew the carriage: each Ilea had a chain of gold runnel its neck, consisting of 160 links fastened on by a small gold padlock, and which they drew along on a table, and being examined by a microscope, appeared in every respect in all parts, and when he unrastened them from the coach, he let them feed on his wrist, or on the back of his hand, and then put them into a emsll box, in which there was a bit of cot ton. The coach he kept in a separate box, each not bigger than a nut, and that this extraordinary curiosity ~as "frown at the time to their late Majesties arid the principal Nubi lity in the kingdom, as many living witnesses e mild attest. A gentleman present expressed his doubt that two fleas could be able to draw a coach and harness of that size and weight. The gentleman, in rejoinder, remarked, that a flea-was the strongest living thing in nature; that it could carry a thousand times its own weight, and leap upwards of two thousand times its own length ; and hail but an ele phant the strength and activity of a &sin proportion to its bulk, it would carry the monument on his back, or leap from Hyde-park to Greenwich. (his extraordinary curiosity the prisoner lost when in a state of intaxieation at a public house in Clerkenwell-green. The prisoner not being able to produce the property, was ordered to br lurked np until eight o'clock in the evening, at which time he was brought up again, when his slaughter, a respectable, genteel young girl, produced the property. The prisoner was severly admonished,and dis charged. hlaaLnonovott Svcerr.—Saturday , morning, among the night charges from the parish of St. Giles's, was one of a singular nature. Brookes, the constable, stated that last night, at a late hoer, one of the watchmen came in to say that a gentleman had met him shortly before, and said he had lost a valuable gold watch, and would give the watchman a sovereign, and the woman who had it ano- ther, if it werelorthcouung immediately. He said that he had gone into a court, in Broad Street, St. Giles's, with the girl (whom he accurately described), and after quitting her room, she followed to give him his umbrella, which he hail forgotten io the room ; but be had also left behind him a gold repeater, which he did not recollect at the moment, and respecting which she was not so solicit ous to refresh his memory as she had been about the umbrella. The watchman, on going to the place describ ed. ascertained that the wow in was out, and had previ ously fastened her room dour with a padlock. The gentleman then gave his address, pencilled on the hack of a card, as •• Mr. Yloris, 17, Edward Street, Portman Square," and requested the watchman aonld take pains to regain the watch. The watchman soon after met the woman,who instantly gave him the watch, and he brought her to the watch•house, where she was detained uponous picion of the theft. On Saturday morning the constable and watchman re paired to the address which was pencilled on the card, and inquired for Mr. Fleris. They were informed that he was in bed, and not likely to be up before nine or ten o'clock. They stated that they hail particul a r business, and wished to see him as soon as possible. The girl requested they would call again in an hour or so, as she did not what to disturb him sooner. They paraded about the vinare some time, returned again to No. 17, Edward Stre.er, and saw not tile servant who had previously opened the door, hot lady of the house. Having men• flossed that they had particular business with Mr. Fluris, the lady went up to Inns, and returned with a message to aseeria'n tbeir names and holiness. The answer of the constable awl eatchmso was—" Tell him we bare cone with the sea ch whirls he lost last nilvit, and about which Bespoke to the watchman in Broad Street." The lady, after conugunioating wilts Mr. Floris, came again to them, itnd said that that gentleman declared it was ells mistake; lie had lust no watch, and knew nothing about the parties. ,scoewliat astounded at such a communication, sae watch man begged hard to see the gentleman, otiserving upon the singularity of the circumstance. Atter some further inter- Visage 'ettuessages, they went to the room door of Mr. Lois, who partly opened it, as if he suspected his visiters Wets not exactliof the class of persons with triton] he wished to become acqtairitod. lie held the door in his liand while be hastily into:sued thew that lie knew nothing of either the retell or the parties; that he had been with no girl, lost no watch, left no message with any watchman, floated no sech.visiters, and, in fine, bade them to quit the [dice; ' which they accer,:ingly did. The fair lady, ar'ao at•least had had possession of " somebody's" watch, and that a va-i livable gold repeater, was now p u t to the bar. Her story I was brief and plain; she met a gentleman, who had the cu riosity to see her apartment, where he had forgotten his watch and umbrella; the latter she ran after him to return, bet did not at the moment see the watch; when she did, however, she went out in search of him, and found the watchman, to whom she instantly stated the occurrence, and surrendered the watch. She was a smart, bouncing 'dams, and said the man was a stranger to het; she had only St NO hi Broad Street. Ilk CONANT' the Sitting Magistrate, said that all he Gadd do was, to issues summons requiring the appearance gift. Plods, for the purpose of ascertaining if any suspi cion of felony could attach to the prisoner. She was there fore remanded until this summons could be mired. LAMBITH-ITIZET.—A young man, George Clarke. was brought op from Poplar watch-house, charged by William Browne, one of the Headboroaghs of Poplar, with coming to the watch-house door about twelve o'clo ck on Friday night; be then called for a bill of the play, and wished to know if it had begun, and what the performance was to be. blaingy, the constable, said, that large bills, drawn op after the manner of play bills, had been htely posted and distributed through Poplar, announcing that the watclphouse was converted into a theatre, and intimating that be and the other officers and watchmen were to take various ridiculous character's. The prisoner said, he was induced to go to the watch house from having one of the bills given him on Friday, and that be meant no harm in doing so. Sir Daniel Williams told the constable they had acted very properly in detaining the prisoner, and observed to him that be must have been well aware that these bills were meant as • gross insult on the parish olficers, lull ordered him to find bail. Tumults Powca.—James Edward:, a private in the 3J Battalion of the Ist (hard!, was brought to this office on Saturday, in the custody of Serjeant Theobald, on suspi cion of felony. The Serjeant said the Magistrate would recollect, about a fortnight since, by order of his Colonel, he gave infor mation at this office that the prisoner was in possession of a pawnbroker's ticket for a gold watch, which bad a few days previous been pledged by the prisoner; and he said, on his examination, he had received the watch from a female of the name of Agnes Elaisly ; from that time the prisoner had been confined to barracks, and the Colonel had deputed him, time witness, to serlc out the lady, whom he accidentally met in Lambeth on Friday,and immediately took her into custody. Agnes &ay, a fine dashing female, who hereafter describes herself as the daughter of a %Vest India Planter, deposed that she had a very slight knowledge of the pri soner, but that she recollected perfectly. about three weeks since, giving to him (to take care of for her) a French gold watch and appendages, together with a guard-chain, and two gold rings, also as. in silver, which she was to have called for on the followiog day, but she did not give the articles to be pawned. Her reason fur leaving them in his care was, that it was rather late waen she left the Tower, and, the night bring dark, she was fearful of losing them on her way home to York Street, Lambeth. David Jones, a private, belonging to the same battalion as the prisoner ' stated that, about a month back, the lady who had just b een speaking overtook him on Westminster Bridge, tapped him on the shoulder, and exclaimed, • Good luck to the army." They fell into conversation, and wiled they arrived at the Marsh Gate they regoled themselves with ruin and buscuits, which the lady paid fur ; she then accompanied witness to the Golden Chain, in the Tower, and there called for other refreshments, which she also settled for, and when the parting moment artired, gore the %tittle's so:ne silver, leaving wit., him a new silk umbrella, ' and a very handsome straw bonnet, which ehe was to have called for on the following day, but never did. The Magistrate to the Lady.--You really appear to be extremely good natured ; pray, how do you ? The Lady—On nay property; I have 200/., a year, which was left me by may fattier, who was a West India Planter. Magistrate.—Wbo pays you your income, Ma'am? Witness.—,llv brother! Magistrate.—Witere doe be live? Witness—l really can not tell!! Magistrate—lt is most extraordinary conduct for a fe male of respectable family and an income of 2001., a year to have acted in the manner you have done. The lady made no reply. A watch and bonnet were produceJ, which this credulous fair one identified as hers. The Magistrate then said, the prisoner is discharged— there is no proof of felony male out against him, and as to the articles produced, you, Madam, on paying the pawn- broker, and Ws. to the person who advanced that sum upon the ticket of the watch, can have thew again. The Lady—But where can l find the other articles, par ticularly my guard chain? Magistrate— Why, that does not appear to have been of any service in guarding you; however, when you find out where they are pawned, and go and pay the pawnbroker, they will be restored to you also. The lady settled with the pawnbroker f2r the articles produced, and adjonrned with the prisoner, who is a very handsome fellow, and June+, his comrade, to the Water men's Arms Tavern, adjacent to the office, where they sl regaled themselves at the lady's expense, and parted with the hope of soon seeing each other again. At a Petty Sessions holden at the Green Man Tavern Blackheath, on Saturday, Mr. Smith, landlord of the Ear of Chatham public house, at Deptford, and brother to the gentleman murdered at Lewisham, was refused the renewal of his license. Two of his sons had been engaged in the attack on their uncle, and it was one of theta who shot him. It was also represented to the Magistrates that the house was the receptacle for all the ill•disposed persons in. the neighboarbood, and in conseq,uence, notwithstanding a powerful appeal made by Mr. Smith, the Magistrates re fused to renew his license. FATAL Accinetm—Friday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, a man named John tiavistock, in the employ of Richard Wyatt, brewer, Portpool-lane, Gray's.inn, whsle inspecting a large vat, was in the act of ascending a ladder to leave it, when he suddenly reeled and fell—life was instantly ex tinct; every possible assistance that could be rendered was afforded, and two surgeons, Mr. Skinner and Mr. Shepherd. bath of Hatton tiarden,• were sent fur, but all aid was vain, the vital spark had been smothered by the foul air. The unfortunate man bore a most excellent charac ter. His body was taken out by grappling irons, and con veyed to the White Lion public-house opposite, where it lays for the Coroner's inquiry. MOOT HALL, COLCHESTER, SEPT. 4.—Charlotts Lester exhibited a complaint against Robert Porter. It appeared that the prisoner had promised to marry the complainant, and bad prevailed upou her to leave her place of service, and send her boxes, containi nga v. Arty of wearing appearel and other articles to the Sun public-house, under ON idea, that the happy ceremony would take place immediately. She went to the Sun according to appointment; the follow. ing day, and found that the box had been opened, the con tents taken away and the prisoner flown. Tile serjepits at mace discover..d part of the property at the house of a woman named Welsteld, with whom the prisoner bad been cohabiting ; sod the other part had been pawned at Rpm's, in Butolph street. The Mayor considered that the prisoner bail imposed upon Charlotte Lester, by a false representation of marriage, with a view to obtain her clothes, or sowe other advastage or benefit, and to omitted him for judgment at the Quarter Session, under the Vagrant Act. •Illestanv aoolsts , r Nan Ideos.—Take one ounce of am r, wrap it in a linen cloth, and suspend it at the bead of so 43 the qmphot emotateit' the Nils will dearbp:" a - DUBLIN POLICE.
