A great number of witnesses were called to establish the fact against the prisoners, from whose testimony it appeared that the robbery, from the manner in which it it was effected, must have been planned with much dexterity. The prisoners were in the habit of using the proseentoeslouse, and about nine o'clock in the evening of the day is question, the prosecutor was alarmed, aml on going out, saw a light in the room in which the property was deposited. A man whoa he be. lived to-be W. Corbett jumped out of the window, aad was caught by him in his arms. Three or four others came up and rescued the man from his grasp, and for the moment they escaped, but the prosecutor followed and brought him back. The other prisoners proved to have been on the spot at the time of the robbery. Pardon and Wm. Corbett were also sworn to have gone in and out a great somber of times, and Pardon said to the ether, look what a "swag' (quantity) he's got. The prosecutor was counting up 351. worth of halfpence.— Pardon was also proved to have seized held of both the prosecutor's wrists, while he was running and asking him what was the matter. _ _ Pardon put in a written defence. William Corbett said be had been drinking in the tap room of the prosecutor's house, from six until nine o'clock in the evening, with two persons named, the first Thomas Payne, and the second John Knight, who swore that William Corbett was drinking in the house at the time the alarm was given. He saw Crawley have hold of a man, but did not go to assist him, He did net see him take hold of a man at the instant. It was not until three weeks since that he was applied to to give evidence. Could not say whether Corbett who went to the door with him walked or ran away. The Recorder seemed up the evidence at great length and the Jury found the prisoners Guilty. EXPLOSION OF THE STEAM ENGINE NEAR CAMBERWELL. in oar paper of rstertlsy was an account of the pro ceedings of the Coroners' lequest, on the two anfortu eye men, who lost their lives by the explosion of the boiler of the steam *nine. Dear Camberwell.— 11. verdict was " accidentally killed, by the bursting of a steam-hoiler." "The Jury," it is added, I. oat of the papers of the asernieg, " also lammed the number of accidents which has occurred in cease. queues of Dot proper attendees being paid to the apparatus used in the prisms of steam. far, ja all eases is gesarally was occasioned by mime defect is the as tidies teed in the machinery." There is too =web 'r.11311 (or theseremarlis; and we therefore wish that e Jury. in every ease of this kis& would require e best evidence tbat can be collected to throw light on the causes of the accident in question. in-- steed of suffering their time to be engrossed with etwe eircesnstaP es io which the -hapless deceased • found, aseertainine scientifically the buds- were J, or . _anises or fractures that occasioned glide death, they might be most usefully occupied in detecting Ond reporting, with the aid of intelligent and im partial men, the particular defect either in the appa ratus or in the overseers that was the origin of the disaster they had assembled to investigate. At all times" the life of man ", it has been said," is like unto • vapour ; but more especially is it at the present pe. tied, when the existence of thousands. not only who voluntarily trust themwlves to vessels navigated by steam, bet who casually reside in the neighbourhood of manufactories, is dependent on the precarious condi tion of intricate engines, and the careless watching of their " safety valves ". It is no use, after a boiler of sob of those engines has burst, and two men have in mmsequence been killed, and four have been wounded, lieu a score of individuals to meet and tell us, what we lower before, that the two men were killed by the burst ing of the steam-boiler. A verdict in such terms Las - little other ell than to give the timid additional rea son of being elnild of steam-boilers in general, It may confirm a prejudice, bat cannot give information. What appears expected front a solemn investigation of a caw wherein a human life is lost, is su.h information as may teach precaution where the disaster was accidental, or direct to p unishment if it arose from negligence or de. sign. The instruction of the Coroner is to enquire "how the deceased came to his death." In the instance I o f a death occasioned by a weapon, it is not enough that the weapon beascertained; the hand thatdirected it must also be sought out. In like manner in the case before us, it is of little service to learn that the men were killed by the bursting of a steam-boiler, unless the manner is described in which the steam-boiler is supposed to have burst. Go 'tearable to be wise from others harm, we shall then do well. If the evidence on the late inquest be correctly reported, the steam-boiler had been entirely rebottomed. The accident happened the first time it was used, after being repaired; and a question of no small im portance was asked by a juror, respecting the manner in which the bottom had been rivette , l. If rivets are ournerone, too much of the metal may be cut away, and the vessel must be dangerously weakeued. This is a point that well deserved leveetigation ; and if, as we are sorry to learn from a paper of this morning, two more persons have died in consrqueoce of the injury they received from the explosion, another opportu nity will be afforded of having the point cleared up.

IMPORTANT DECISION REGARDING TITIIRP. [PROM Till DUBLIN MORNING POST A correspondent has tarnished as with the follow ing note of a little case which was tried at Kilkenny. in March, 1789. At the present period it is curious, as well as important. The case is reported in the Dublin Chronicle of April 2, 1789 : KIL KK NN K APRIL I.—On Thursday, a remarkable Nisi Prins cause was heard at tbd Conrt-honse, before Mr. Justice Daquery and a respectable Jury, in which the Rev. Mr. Stone, of Kells, in the County of Meath. was plaintiff, and Sydenham Davis. Esq. of Johnsville. defendant. The action was brought to recover 2001. due for tithes leased by the defendant to the plaintiff. at Rector of Kilmocabill, in this county ; when, after a trial of some length, the counsel fur the defendant produced a Statute of Charles 1., by which it is enact ed, that every Rector shall reside eighty days in his parish every year, and preach thirteen sermons, other wise he will not be entitled to the tithes or dues of his parish ; and as it was proved that the Rector was non resident, the Jury found a verdict for the defendant, with 6d. cost.. THE DUKE OF SUSSEX. t/Itol4 TNI NOTTING11•11 Karim, /[PT. 20.] To the early part of the week, there was a confident expectation, that his Royal Highness the Doke of Sussex would honour this town with his presence at a public dinner. An levitation was, we believe, sent to him from the Corporation, but his Royal Highness declined it, on account of the state of his health. The Royal Duke has been spending the former part of the week at Doocaster, and yesterday be passed through Mansfield, on his way to the ancient Abbey of New. stead, the seat of Col. Wildman. About three o'clock an express was sent from the Colonel, to call his tenants from Mansfield market in order to meet the Royal Duke at the Park-gates ; "boot four o'clock, the Colonel, in his carriage, with four beautiful white horses, drove into the Swan inn yard in a few lei nntes his Royal flightless arrived, in an open landau and pair ; be alighted amidst a large crowd of spec tators, and retired for a few minutes into the Swan ion. Oa his coming out, an was made thr.,agh the crowd for his accommodation, and when be stepped into Colonel Wildman's carriage, he was greeted by the acclamations of the multitude. lie was received in the same meaner, as be passed along the to, and the Duke acknowledged the compliment, by taking of his hat, and bowing rapaatodiy, i. sa.. seat a raLarad manner. About five o'clock, the gallant Colonel had the pleasure of 'conducting his illustriooe guest to the Abbey, aid here be was again greeted with an Englishman's welcome from the tenantry, and others collected on the occasion ; the cannon were fired, and other demonstrations *flay were tosaifested. Every serveat.laborey apd t of the Colonel's, had a treat oo the occasion. ills eipected that his Royal Highness will arrive in Nottingham at two o'clock this afternoon. The union jack is now flying at the top of the Exchange; a b.ind of mask and flags will go up Mansfield-road to meet the il lustrious visitor, and we suppose be will be attended on bis entrance into the town, by many gentlemen on horseback. We understand, be will be enrolled amongst the independent Begrimes of Nottingham, and %%ill af terwards partake of a cold collation with the Corpora ties and a few other individuals. The particulars of this visit, the first which any member of the Royal Family has paid to Nottingham for many years, will be recorded in oar next. The cider harvest, now commencing, will prove the most bounteous that has been li..own for many years. All the cider pounds in the neighbonrhood of Ply mouth are coming into fall request, awl such we un derstand to he the case throughput the county of De von. Noti ing can be more cheering tbao these pleas. log facts in a county where the commodity in question is such a general family requisite, as also an article of sale in distant parts, particularly the metropolis.— (Taunton Courier.) •• - • Last night the main pipe which conveys the gas to the Golden Cross, Charing Cross Inn, burst, and for som e time there were serious apprehensions that the premises would be enveloped in dames. Such was the alarm at the coach-office, that they refused for some time to take in parcels, except at the risk of the per sons who sent them. Several fire-engines arrived to be in readiness in case any accident had occurred, and the street was delayed with water. Fortunately, however, no serious consequences ensued. accooMT.—A fire at the Golden Cross, Charing-Cross, took place at nine o'clock last night, occasioned by the gas which burnt and damaged a part of the first door of the alum ino.„lsut hom the prompt and timely assistance of the firemen, and plenty of water, it was soon put out. Messrs. Morris, Fors ter. and Like, Bow•street officers, were on the alert, and the first on the spot.
