She did not know how long her sister had been acquainted with the prisoneee brother, Tobias. Re-examined.—Did not wish or expect any reward farther than her expenses, and now came forward with the greatest reluctance. Eliza Butler corroborated the testimony of her sister, and swore positively that the prisoces gave his brother away. Mr. ACED' said this closed the case for the prosecu tion. Mr. Pamirs addressed the Jury at some length. lie I complained that Mr. Alley had not kept his pledge to produce the wife of Tobias Burke. In fact the Counsel for the prosecution bad confined themselves to Galling no more witnesses than prescribed by law; and one of whom could only have been twelve or thirteen years of age at the time. He dwelt on the admission that 3001. was expected, and called on the Jury to weigh well the relative situations of the parties t and to giro tie prisoner the benefit of any doubt. The RECORDIR summed up the evidence to the Jury, who found the prisoner—Gmlt . y. The Court was crowded during the whole of the trial, which did not close until a quarter-past 11 o'clock. The Recoenca immediately sentenced the prisoner to bejmprisoned six months, and then transported for seven years. Whitton, 1F,,;. tester,Johts Currie, and Win. Royce, were liroarhs before T. Halms. Esq , on suspicion of being concerned in stealing 351. in gold and bank notes, four watches. a quantity of plate, and other Pro perty, to the amount of nearly ltto/., at the White Bear Inn, at Hounslow, un Wednesday evening. The following facts were collected from Mr. Corti., the landlord of the White Bear, and several other wit o eses:—On Wednesday afternoon, about two o'clock, the two prisoners Ferby and Whitton called at the house in a gig, and ordered dinner. After &niter they drank some grog, and departed, as they said, for Egham Races. Abut half past eight in the evening Forhy and Whitton, in their gig, and the . other three pri • mares, together with a man named White, who will be mentioned hereafter, in two other gigs, drove op to the do w together, and all went lam the parlour, and called for different kinds of refreshment. They were very merry, sang several songs and Mr. Curtis remarked that they were paricularly noisy. 'they maned also to know each other. Soon after nine o'clock they all got up, as if by concert, and having catled their gigs, they drove off towards town. They bad not been gone more than tea minutes, when Mrs. Curtis having occasion to go up stairs, found that her chamber door had been broken open, and every thing within the room ransacked. The bureau and other places of deposit bad been forced open, and plandered of the property mentioned above. Mr. Curtis went to the high constable of H. stan, who, with Staines, a Bow street horse-patrol, galloped off towards London. At Kensington, they came op with the three gigs, stopped them, and took the prisoners, and the sixth man, White, who was in the gig with Leiter, and had a very large 'cox coat on, into the Marquess of Granby poblic.bouse to search them. While they were doing this, White contrived to es-ape. No part of the stolen property was found upon either of the prisoners. Whi e the search was going on, an old gentleman standing near the door found a watch lying in the street. This watch was shown to Mr. Curtis, but be mild not swear to it as he; ng one of these stolen from hia house. Lester, when tax. d with hating been one of the party at the White Dear, positively denied it, and swore he never was in the house in his life. Mr. Curtis and his ostler, however, were both positive as to his identlry. Filthy and Whitton were well known at the house, they having dined and •ler there I times. The prisoners were interrogated, and each gig party declared the others to be total strangers to them., Furby, who is a respectable looking man, was rather indignant in his protestations of innocence, and com plained bitterly of the ismouvenience he had been put to. Ile asked if ball would be taken, and was told not at present.—They were all remanded till to-morrow. UNfrate Hau..—Yesterday an elderly man of res. ;seeable appearance, named Thomas Ball, a collect ing clerk in the employ of Mr. Matthew Cowell, ale brewer, of Great Snflidk•street, Southwark, was charged before W. Swauee, Evq. with having embez zled several sums of money, the property of the firm. Ile following case was selected from many:— Charles Weare, landlord of the Cock public-house, stated that the prisoner had called at his house on the 26th of August for the sum of 21. 10s. for a barrel of ale. The prisoner received the money, and gave a receipt for the amount. The receipt was produced in the bared writing of the prisoner. proved that the prisoner had not ac counted to him fur that sum, neither had it been en tered by the prisoner in the day book. The prisoner, is his defence, ssitl that there was a most important document in the possession of the pro secutor, which, if produced, would clearly prove that be bad entertained no intention of appropriating his employer's money to hie own purposes. . _ _ _ Mr. Cowell said, that the document alluded to had no reference whitever to the charge now brought against the prisoner, and added, that it had been taken from his office, he had no doubt, by the prisoner, as no other person lied access to the office. The Magistrate committed the prisoner. A Gentleman here applied to the Magistrate to know whether the offence was bailable, and epos being answered in the negative, he stated that a highly respectable man of business desired him to mention that the prisoner had been entrusted by him with very large sums of money, and had in every instance acted with the utmost correctness. Mt. SWABIY said, that it might be of service to the prisoner to have the attendance of the gentleman who had so conidentially employed hint upon his trial. Woaeutr•errtasr.—Yesterday the Rev. Robert Crosby, Minister of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, corn. ;deified of a report that appeared in some of the news papers of Wednesday, which stated that a little boy had been grossly iil•treated by the master of Shore ditch charity school. The Rev. Gentleman stated that he had made particular inquiry at the charity school, and that nothing whatever of the kind had taken place there. He brought the master with hi:u, who would say that he bad not been summoned at all, nor had any complaint bean made by any of his scholars. The Magistrate concluded that the Report-mr made a mistake, as the person who was brought before them described himself as being the superintendent of the education of the workhouse children, and not as the master of the parochial charity school of Shore ditch. The Rev. Gentleman considered that in justice to the master of the charity school the case ought to be I set right. Tussles Poucs.—Mr. Todd, a ship chandler, was charged yesterday with attempting to smuggles quan tity of brandy oot of the West India Export Muck. The [tack Constable stated that yesterday morning he was standing at the Dock, and sa► Mr. Todd guise out of the gates. He had a large coat on. Ins sus. pinion waa excited, and he stopped Mr. Todd, when he found is each coat pocket a do case formed to fit the body. containing about three pints of foreign brandy. Mr. Todd said tbat be had bees into the Deck to see the Captain of a ship, an old friend, who made him a present of some brandy. Mr. Todd was ordered for re-examination on • future day, when the espial', could attend, and a steiroons was lasted to him fur that purpose.

Tb, was the first day of trying it, to see whe.her it wai sound. Mr. Haughton, of the firm of Ilaughtes ass Fraser, who had lately repaired the machine. au pi t . sent, to superintend time trial, with Buckleridge, his foreman. Mr. Ilaughton a ished the boiler to be big at 40, and witness was potting some fuel on the keg order to raise it to thzt pressure; on deing gldo. felt the ground shake under bin while we was at tist furnace; being very much alarmed, heattempted tong away, and at the moment the racers joists gat way, and fell on him, which knocked him dorm, wa n he beard a great explosion—which appeared ha Moon like the shooting of csirt-loecis of bevy atones.

Wilms had worked at steam-engines before, and this was made in the same way as others were made. He did sot set any of the deceased until they were taken out of the ruins.

A Juryman asked, whether the bottom was net rise ted on a new plan ? Witness answered that it was 'riretted in the nor way as others, but it was all the new work Out pre way. They bad the valves fixed at a certain pressen, and occasionally they were relieved. Witness aced la own discretion in the supply of fuel to the fire. hide whole five persons were injured besides the deemed, and so seriously that they were carried to the baits\ without hope of recovery. Mr. Charles Yardley, of the *ewe* Chtver and Yard ley, glue-maendadenerem, of Welhamatemt, Camberwell. was next swarm.

Witness at first heard the noise, bat did , not consider it of serious consequence, until a mass cf bricks fell on hint, then he anticipated all the mese inences which arose from the accident. He was shoat six yards from the machine when the bricks counnemed falling on him, and be was obliged to ran to sane bin life. Mr. Ilaughton was present when they were wring the boiler; be beard a rushing inside, which he theight was the steam.

X SESSION& Yesterday, Mrs. Rliza&eth Calderwood was indicted for keeping a Lad and disorderly house in N 0.5, Duke's court, Drury-lane, in the parish of St. Martin's-in4he- Fields. _ Mr. ALLEY stated the case to the Jury on the part of the parish. The prisoner kept one of those houses, of which there were too many in the neighbourhood of Brnry-lane, and the parish officers were determined, so far as lay in their power, to abate such nuisances. The house kept by the prisoner at the bar was conducted in the moat obnoxious manner; where individuals of both sexes met at all hours of the day and night, and con ducted themselves in such a way that the opposite neigh boars could not help occasionally seeing men and wo men dancing in a state of nudity. In addition to such disgusting sights, the neighbours were constantly an• noyed with cries of murder at all hours from persons frequenting Mrs. Calderwood's house; and concluded with stating that in the month of May last, a pour un fortunate girl was found in this house nearly murdered. Mrs. Hodson, who lives in the opposite house, proved the statement of the Learned Counsel, and added that frequently in the day time profligate women were seen hanging over the orfodows of Mrs. Calderwood's house with their bosoms exposed in a very improper manner. Mr. Thos. Antony corroborated the testimony of Mrs. Hodson, as did Miller, one of the Bow-street officers. Mrs. Calderwood made • very long defence, stating that she bad a family, and had kept the house for four teen years. Ske called two witnesses, who had lived with her as lodgers. The Jury found her Guilty, and she was sentenced to three months imprisonment in the House of Correction; and before release to enter into recogoisanees for forty pounds to abate the nuisance.

MaNetox Hoes: The question as to the right of carmen to compel merchants to hire them in ro tation, was again brought before the Lord Mayor. Mr. Ashendon, the °warr of two carts, was ana -1 monad fur obstructing the public highway. The prosecutor is the owner of a number of carte, and on Sept. 12, received some warrants from a mer chant to load goods from the East-India Warehouses.— The defendant Ashendon was the first on the stand, and insisted that he had a right to be employed before any other. His carts were placed at the end of New street, so that they blocked it up.
